Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 17 The traitor Li Wei
Under the gaze of all the civil and military ministers of the court, Li Wei slowly walked into the hall and stood in the center.

He has never experienced any big scenes, and now that he is being stared at by so many people, he is inevitably a little nervous!

"Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Wei bowed with his hands in a non-standard way. He didn't know whether he should kneel or not. Anyway, he didn't want to kneel. Let's do this first. If it doesn't work, he would kneel again.

The civil and military officials in the court frowned when they looked at this young man in coarse linen clothes. Your Majesty has decreed that if you don't bow to you, you can just bow your hands and salute, but!

Having said that, in the final analysis, it still depends on status. It doesn't matter if the big shots in the court don't bow to you. But for those with lower grades, not only the emperor, but also the superiors must kneel down!
You, a humble commoner, don't kneel down and bow down when you come to the main hall. This is a bit disrespectful!
The ministers looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for him to be angry or even angry. However, unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a fatherly smile on his face:
"Li Aiqing doesn't need to be polite. Aiqing gives us advice and helps us solve problems. We are very happy to have Aiqing help us!"

Li Wei was startled when he heard this. He thought about what advice he had given Zhu Yuanzhang. It seemed that it was just about finding a "secretary", right?

In this case, we must continue. As modern people, there is no such thing as humility. In front of the boss, it is too late to take credit. How can you still be humble?Do you still want your salary to go up?Do you still want to get the bonus?

Thinking of this, Li Wei agreed: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

Really hammered!Abolition of the Ministry of Education is a bad idea from this dog!

The ministers glared angrily, their eyes almost bursting with fire!

Li Wei felt uncomfortable being stared at by these old men. He just felt baffled. He just came here and he didn't seem to have offended these people?

Li Wei looked around and saw that the civil servants were glaring at him and the generals were looking at the show. Then he looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that Lao Zhu was in a particularly good temper today and was smiling all over his face.

Li Wei didn't think much about it, just thinking that he was his wife giving birth to children. Anyway, Lao Zhu had many wives in his harem, and he worked very hard, so it was normal for him to have children frequently.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned when he heard Li Wei's uncompromising reply.

However, Li Wei's cooperation made him save a lot of trouble. He didn't have to read the lines he prepared later. Li Wei himself had already jumped into the trap.

"Your Majesty, I see that this person is arrogant and behaves rudely. He is definitely not a good minister. I hope your Majesty will learn from it!"

Luo Si, the Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs, came out to give a lecture.

After the abolition of the Zhongshu Province, the status of the six ministries was improved. The Ministry of Personnel is the department in charge of the appointment and removal of officials. As for whether Li Wei is a good minister, Ge Si, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has the most say!

Seeing someone hitting the head, the civil servants started to move.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal! I see that this person is acting recklessly. He is not at all gentle and elegant like our scholars. He is more like a foreign barbarian who does not listen to enlightenment. Your Majesty must not be deceived by him!"

The newly appointed Yushi Zhongcheng left the job safely. Their Yushi Yanguan was originally responsible for finding faults. It was their job to scold people. They had to scold when they had the opportunity, and they had to scold even if they didn't have the opportunity to create opportunities!

These two big guys talked nicely and had to save face for the emperor. After all, it was not easy for them to get to their current position. If the emperor was not happy and fucked them, it would be a big loss.

But the officials who followed him were not so polite. They pointed at Qing and left his name in history!
"Your Majesty, this person has a deer head and rat eyes. He is not a good person at first glance. Your Majesty, please don't trust him easily!"

"Your Majesty favors such treacherous people, it is not the behavior of a wise king..."

Li Wei was confused, he was so confused after being scolded, he said less than two sentences after he came in, how could he become a traitor?
Some of these people scolded them directly, and some cited scriptures and scriptures. Li Wei, who knew what he was talking about, was confused when he heard it. He was in a pit and didn't know the pit.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was quite happy to see Li Wei being attacked by all the ministers at first. This was the result he wanted. However, these people became more and more vigorous in scolding him, and took him with them, scolding him openly and covertly. He is a fool.

"Shut up! You bastards, how dare you slander me..." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily. In his anger, he did not forget to take Li Wei along with him: "And my Li Aiqing! Someone, get these bastards out of here! , hit twenty big boards again!" The imperial staff at this time was still very powerful, and it could easily kill someone if hit too much.

Those officials who were scolding happily, when they heard this, not only were they not afraid, but their eyes lit up. For them, those who made mistakes and were beaten up were good things that would go down in history. Leave your name throughout the ages, what are you going to do next?
Zhu Yuanzhang's move not only failed to silence them, but actually made them clamor even louder!
"Your Majesty, favoring traitors and sycophants is the behavior of a foolish king. Your Majesty must not do this..."

"His Majesty……"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache and was so angry that he wanted to kill people, but he couldn't really kill them. After all, these people were set up by him with the intention of using small officials to rule high officials. When he set them up, he warned these people to speak out and dare to remonstrate. Now they obey orders. It's not good for him to kill people just because of this.

It's not that he has never beheaded Yanguan, but he always looks for other charges, or he is transferred from the Yushitai first and then finds fault.

There was nothing he could do now. Zhu Yuanzhang could only wave his hands to urge the guards to take them away quickly!

As these people were pulled outside, the shouts turned into screams, and the court finally became quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Li Aiqing is so talented that we have decided to make Li Wei the right minister of the Ministry of Industry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the officials were shocked!

The minister is the third rank, the real big shot in the imperial court. This is a level that many civil servants cannot reach in their lifetime. When Li Wei first entered the court, he was given such a high rank. This is simply nonsense!

"Your Majesty, I object to this!"

Xue Xiang, who had just been recalled from the local area and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, could not sit still. He was a pragmatic person and originally did not want to get involved in these bullshit power struggles, but the Ministry of Industry was a highly professional department. A "wizard" came up to serve as a minister. Isn't that causing trouble?Definitely not!
"Li... Although Mr. Li is extremely talented, he has just entered the court and lacks experience. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to directly appoint him as a minister!"

Xue Xiang spoke tactfully and did not directly say not to let him come to the Ministry of Industry to cause trouble.

Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his eyebrows and asked displeasedly: "Then do you think any position is suitable for him?"

"Uh, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is full, why not consider other ministries?"

Xue Xiang didn't want Li Wei at all, so he declined politely.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and did not force it. Instead, he glanced at the other ministers. They all lowered their heads to dodge, obviously they did not want it.

"You don't want it, okay? Let's keep it for ourselves. Let's make Li Wei a bachelor of the cabinet, in charge of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and counselor of machine maintenance for consultation. The rank should be the same as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, as the saying goes, seeking the best was his original goal, and the minister was just a feint.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, all the ministers took a step back. Although they were still very dissatisfied with Li Wei, a treacherous man who appointed him a fifth-rank official, they did not dare to continue the dispute.

Li Wei listened to these old men chattering a lot, but he didn't understand what they were talking about. For a history novice like him, who even had to Baidu to search for the rank of minister, the minister of minister was just so-so, and other official positions were just so-so. He was just a walk-on. He didn't understand what old men like the title of minister had to object to.

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang finally mentioned the cabinet that Li Wei felt happy. According to what he knew from TV, the cabinet seemed to be the most powerful department!In later generations, this department was also retained in many countries. Although its functions and powers changed, the name remained the same.

If you join the cabinet directly, isn't that the same as rising to the top in one fell swoop?

Li Wei was overjoyed. It didn't matter whether his position was high or low. He mainly wanted his salary to be higher!
