Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 144 The mouse defeats the elephant

Although he hung up to receive the lucky bag, it was inevitable that some people would shamelessly come in to bother him. Li Wei himself didn't even realize that he had so many acquaintances!

After staying at home for a few days, he couldn't stay any longer and went directly to Jiaofangsi to listen to music.

Since the Zhengdan banquet, Jiaofangsi's new program has amazed the audience, and now it is finally not as empty as before.

Li Wei established the rule of buying tickets first and then entering the venue. Several officials tried to buy tickets and came in to have a look. Fortunately, Li Wei was not there!

But today Li Wei finally showed up. When he came in, the few officials who were enjoying the dance music suddenly stood up and left in a panic.

Li Wei hurriedly spoke to comfort: "Everyone, sit down, just sit down and watch the performance with peace of mind. As long as everyone pays the money, you will be the guests of the Jiaofang Department. I will definitely welcome you!"

Seeing what Li Wei said, a few people still had doubts in their hearts, but they paid the money and it was quite expensive, so they sat down and didn't want to leave directly.

Li Wei comforted these people, then turned and went to the back hall.

Feng Jingchun happened to be there. When he saw him coming, he immediately beamed with joy and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Li, you are really good at it. You have raised our class to several levels with just one banquet performance. I will take your place on behalf of the class." All the music lovers in the company have thanked you!"

"You don't have to be so polite. After all, I am also from the Jiaofang Division. Get up quickly."

Li Weixu helped him and chuckled softly.

This time the Jiaofang Si was promoted, he himself became the sixth rank, Feng Jingchun went from the sixth rank, and several other Shao Wu Si Yue were also in the seventh rank. It can be said that one person has achieved the Tao, chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven, and in the future he will be like Mao Buquan. Official, I am no longer qualified to show off my power here, after all, we are all on the same level.

"How are the Jiaofangsi these days?" Li Wei asked.

Speaking of this, Feng Jingchun was overjoyed again and said: "We have finally had customers here these days, and the fares you set are relatively high, sir. Our income is pretty good these days."

Li Weiding's ticket price is one hundred cash, which is not a small amount, but it is not too expensive either. After all, the people who come here are all dignitaries, so they can definitely afford it.

Besides, the Jiaofang Division is not allowed to entertain civilian merchants. They only rely on these officials. The number is already small. If they don't charge more money, how can they feed so many people.

"Well, that's good. Remember to let them buy tickets first. If they don't have tickets, they won't be allowed in. It won't work for anyone who comes!"

Li Wei ordered seriously.

However, as soon as Li Wei finished speaking, a musician came in with people who did not buy tickets.

Li Wei's face twitched, this is not a slap in his face.

"Sir, this is the angel from the palace."

The musician led a eunuch in and introduced him to Li Wei.

"..."

Li Wei was speechless for a moment, hey, I really don’t need to buy a ticket, why should I let him be such a piece of shit!
"What orders does this father-in-law have?"

After a moment of silence, Li Wei asked helplessly.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, Miss Xu Yao is summoned to the palace to perform. Mr. Li, please quickly let Miss Xu Yao prepare!"

Li Wei was slightly startled, what?The old man wants to listen to music?
The key point of naming Xu Yao?

Doesn't this old man want the old cow to eat tender grass?

This is not that he is judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that he is judging the belly of a lecher with the heart of a gentleman!
He knew very well who Zhu Yuanzhang was. Even though he was so busy with government affairs, he still worked hard to sow seeds in the harem. He gave birth to... well, dozens of children in his life, making him a huge stud.

Just like Xu Yao, not to mention Lao Zhu, a thief, even a gentleman like him is a little tempted. It is normal for Lao Zhu to want to eat young grass.

It should have been a good thing to get the emperor's blessing, but unfortunately, Xu Yao was born as a music girl, and it was absolutely impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to make her a concubine. He even had to hide her so that no one would know. I'm afraid what would happen to Xu Yao in the end. It won't be too good.

Li Wei thought about it and felt that he had to stop this kind of thing. After all, he had trained Xu Yao with his own hands. Even if he didn't eat it, he couldn't let Lao Zhu ruin it!
"Master Li?"

Seeing that Li Wei didn't reply for a long time, the eunuch called out.

"Oh, okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

When Li Wei came back to his senses, he could only go and find Xu Yao and some musicians who were doing the soundtrack first.

Xu Yao came to Li Wei, bowed and saluted with a smile: "I have met Mr. Li."

Xu Yao became famous through Li Wei's training. Now, because of the promotion of Jiaofangsi, she also has a seventh-grade official status. Her status is completely different from before. This is all due to Li Wei, and she is very grateful.

If she was forced to sacrifice her life to save the young sisters that time, now she is really willing to do it if Li Wei asks.

"Well, His Majesty has sent an oral message to summon you to the palace to perform. You can go there with some musicians later."

Li Wei frowned and said helplessly.

When Xu Yao heard this, she also froze, suppressed her smile, and responded respectfully: "Okay, sir! I'll get ready right now!"

"Ah."

Li Wei nodded.

After Xu Yao went down to prepare, Li Wei couldn't help but worry. It was not easy to stop this. Lao Zhu was the emperor. Who could stop him from what he wanted?
Empress Ma?
This boss can definitely do it, but he can't see him in the harem!
Li Wei looked sad and couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

After a while, Xu Yao and the musicians packed up, and he could only let them go first.

Looking at Xu Yao's leaving figure, Li Wei's heart was full of worry. The scene of Lao Zhu bullying Xu Yao with a lewd smile appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt pain (ji) heart (du) illness (si) head ( le)!
The pain made him look hateful, and he tried his best to use his brain and think hard.Finally, something clicked in his mind, and he really thought of a feasible solution!

When I was a child, I played animal chess with the lion, tiger, leopard, and finally the mouse. Although the elephant is the biggest, the mouse can defeat him.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also set up rats for himself, those censors.

Originally, he asked these censors to supervise other civil servants, but these people were stubborn and dared to criticize anyone they saw was wrong, including him, the emperor.

If we find a censor to take action, we should be able to stop the emperor from recruiting female concubines into the palace for fun!
It just so happened that Daotong was the supervisory censor, so it was appropriate for him to go.

As for whether his fellow Taoists would be punished, Li Wei wasn't too worried.

Zhu Yuanzhang still has a high tolerance for censors. For example, Han Yike interceded for Li Wei without mercy, and was finally promoted to become the censor of Qiandu, the fourth rank.

As long as he is not looking for trouble, or like Chen Huaiyi, who is ignorant and blindly opposed, as long as the others are out of public motives, even if he offends Yan Zhijian, Zhu Yuanzhang can generally tolerate it. After all, this is a system arranged by himself.

After figuring this out, Li Wei immediately set off to find Dao Tong. Time was urgent. Li Wei trotted away from the Jiaofang Division under the confused eyes of Feng Jingchun and others.

The supervisory censor usually just wandered around the imperial city and teased anyone he didn't like. Li Wei asked people about it and finally found Daotong near the imperial city, and then pulled him away.

Daotong was patrolling around, but he suddenly pulled him away and ran away. He couldn't help but be confused: "Master Li, where are you taking me?"

Li Wei was out of breath from running and couldn't reply. He pulled him not far from the Meridian Gate, then pointed at the Jiaofangsi people who were about to enter the palace, and said out of breath: "Your Majesty... ...Your Majesty, please recruit female concubines into the palace..."

"What?" Daotong was suddenly shocked and angry.

According to the law, female musicians are not allowed to enter the palace casually, unless it is a larger celebration and they can participate in performances, but they are not allowed to approach the ministers, let alone the emperor and the prince!
Now Zhu Yuanzhang invites female musicians alone without restraint, which is obviously against the rules.

Daotong could no longer care about Li Wei, threw away his arm, and rushed over like the wind.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fall silent when he saw his speed.

He was the one holding him back. If he had known this earlier, he would have just told Daotong the location and asked him to run over by himself. It would have been much faster than him pulling him over!
Daotong rushed in front of everyone in Jiaofangsi at a sprint speed of [-] meters, without blushing or out of breath, and intercepted them before they entered the palace.

Xu Yao and others were shocked when they saw him like this.

The little eunuch who led the way immediately changed his expression when he saw that he was wearing the official uniform of a censor.

The censors are the most annoying. They wander around looking for trouble all day long, and no one wants to see them. It can be said that people hate them and dogs hate them.

"My lord, why are you blocking the road?" the young eunuch asked as calmly as possible.

"Concubines are not allowed to enter the palace!"

Daotong didn't give any face at all, and directly scolded sternly.

In the distance, Li Wei found a corner to hide secretly. When he heard what he said, he immediately liked it secretly.

The little eunuch's face couldn't help but look ugly, and he suppressed his anger and explained: "I am following your Majesty's instructions to recruit these people to perform in the palace!"

"That's not possible. According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, Le Nu is not allowed to approach the emperor, princes, ministers, etc. What do you want to do when Your Majesty invites Le Nu alone?"

The little eunuch's expression changed drastically. This was a matter of the emperor's face, so he couldn't talk nonsense!

"You, you, you are so bold! How can you interfere with His Majesty's affairs?"

"Hmph, I am doing this for the sake of His Majesty's reputation. In short, these people cannot enter the palace!"

"you……"

The little eunuch pointed at him, his face red with anger.

It's just that the imperial censor has little power but has no choice but to go back and ask the emperor for instructions.

"You wait!"

The little eunuch glared at him angrily and returned to the palace angrily.

Li Wei saw this situation from a distance and became nervous. Whether he could succeed or not would depend on what the little eunuch said when he came out.

After waiting for a long time, the little eunuch finally came out. He waved his hands to Xu Yao and the others with an unhappy look on his face and said, "Your Majesty ordered you all to go back. There is no need to enter the palace."

After saying that, he waved to Dao Tong like he was shooing away flies, and said angrily: "You can leave too!"

Xu Yao and others were shocked when they heard this, but since the young eunuch said so, they naturally had no objection, bowed and prepared to leave.

"Good job!"

Li Wei in the distance couldn't help but applaud when he saw this situation. Sure enough, as long as the method is right, the emperor can be cured!

However, just when he saw that the matter was done and he breathed a sigh of relief, an accident happened!
"I won't leave, I want to ask His Majesty face to face!" Daotong said loudly and resolutely.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this!

Li Wei's smile suddenly froze in the distance, and then his expression changed drastically!
This Taoist fellow was very clever. He was asked to come here to help, not to cause trouble. It was almost done. He even asked him face to face. He was not looking for trouble!

　Shamelessly asking for a monthly ticket, the tickets are too few, woo woo woo...
