Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 18 I came quite early
After Li Wei's position was determined, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to stand aside, and then continued to handle daily government affairs.

Li Wei stood at the back of the hall, near the door, feeling drowsy while listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's speech, complaining in his heart that there was no seat to sit on.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the officials finally finished reporting their work. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a lunch break, and all officials who had finished handling the matters could go back.The remaining people will continue to participate in the afternoon pilgrimage.

Li Wei was also left behind, unable to escape, feeling unhappy.But it’s not without its benefits, Zhu Yuanzhang is in charge of the food!

The ministers waited in the side hall for a while, and then the working meal was served: green vegetable and tofu soup. No need to ask, it must be made by Guanglu Temple.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang again, he had already gone to the back hall to eat on the small stove.

After lunch, the meeting continued.Fortunately, there wasn't much going on in the afternoon, and we were done early.Li Wei followed the crowd out of Fengtian Hall.But when he left, everyone else stayed away from him and occasionally glanced at him.His smile was met with cold eyebrows from others.Li Wei made trouble for himself and stopped paying attention to these people.

Not far away, Xiao Dezi caught up with him: "Master Li, Your Majesty summons you to the Qianqing Palace for an audience!"

Li Wei's mouth twitched, "Yeah, I have to work overtime!"So annoying.

Although he was depressed, he couldn't afford to offend this leader, so he could only follow Xiao Dezi to Qianqing Palace honestly.

However, as soon as he entered the Qianqing Gate, he saw two guards waiting there holding imperial staffs!

Li Wei had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiao Dezi gave a signal to the two guards.Then the two men came directly to press him down and beat him!
Bang bang bang, twenty big boards were played before the two stopped.Fortunately, with Xiao Dezi's hint, the two of them acted lightly.

Li Wei stood up, covering his buttocks, and looked at Xiao Dezi in confusion.

"Master Li, this is His Majesty's order, please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Li Wei cursed Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart and didn't know why he hit him again.

After being beaten, Xiao Dezi led Li Wei into the Qianqing Palace.

……

In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao was also in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Biao did not attend the morning court because when he attended the morning court before, he always had arguments with Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very embarrassed, and later he was not allowed to go to the court.

After all, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. How can it be appropriate for father and son to quarrel in the court?

However, although the prince was not allowed to go to court, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that all government affairs be tied to the prince and punished!This shows his preference for Zhu Biao.

After leaving the court, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer looked like a loving father.Seeing Li Wei walking in with his butt covered, before he could salute, he yelled angrily:

"We asked you to come earlier, didn't you hear or did you turn a deaf ear to what we said?"

Li Wei said with great grievance: "I came quite early!"

"Do you know what time we will go to court?"

"I do not know."

Li Wei said matter-of-factly. Anyway, he came earlier than the normal time for future generations to go to work.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious!After taking a deep breath, he said:
"We are going to court in Yinshi, and we can't be late again tomorrow!"

What time is it?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's angry look, Li Wei didn't dare to ask this question, and planned to go back and ask someone else.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

After reprimanding Li Wei, Zhu Yuanzhang introduced: "This is our prince Zhu Biao."

Li Wei looked at Zhu Biao and saw that he was quite tall, but compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's might, he looked a little weak.His face is also much paler than Zhu Yuanzhang's.

"Meet Your Royal Highness!"

Li Wei saluted.

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, he had also heard about what happened in the court.The civil servants all said that this man was a traitor.This made him not have a good impression of Li Wei, but he wasn't someone who just listened to other people's words and believed them, so he didn't show it in his face.

"Free gift!"

Zhu Biao didn't say much. After all, it was the first time they met and they didn't know much yet.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

After the two people had finished the ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered again:

"We will leave the matter of Wenyuan Pavilion to you. We have selected a group of editors and reviewers from the Hanlin Academy to be sent to Wenyuan Pavilion. Let these people assist you. You have to handle it for us. If something goes wrong What's wrong, we can't forgive you!"

"I obey the order." "We have also set up a war situation in the palace, and I have left it to you to take care of. Make us all the things you showed us!"

Yes, wearing multiple hats, what a familiar scent of boss dog!

"I will try my best."

Just agree to come down and take a look first. Those things in later generations are not easy to make.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang gave some instructions and lingered for a long time before letting him go.

By the time Li Wei returned to the inn after collecting official uniforms, dental plaques and other office supplies, it was almost dark.When he returned to the room, he called the little girl again. The little girl's name was Shang Xiaoqing, so Li Wei called him Xiaoqing, not to mention it was quite smooth!

Xiaoqing has always regarded herself as a slave since she followed Li Wei. Li Wei couldn't resist him, so he let him go.

After asking around with Xiaoqing, Li Wei found out that Yinshi was from three to five in the morning.After listening to Li Weiwei scolding Zhu Yuanzhang as a black-hearted capitalist, future generations would not dare to compare with him!
"Master, don't worry, I will call you in advance in the morning!"

Xiao Qing comforted him by saying that other officials also had servants to take care of them.

Li Wei sighed, he was not afraid that he would not be able to wake up, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up!Getting up so early every day would cost him his life!You know, he is a modern person who doesn't wake up during the day and doesn't sleep at night!
It’s a shame that I can’t quit this job!
There was no other way, so Li Wei could only agree and let Xiaoqing wake him up early so that she could catch up on her sleep during the day.

In addition, he also asked Xiaoqing to go around the city if she had time to see if there was a house for rent, and to find a house that was closer to the imperial city and cheaper.

He can't afford to stay in an inn all the time!

……

The next day, Li Wei fell asleep in a daze when he was woken up by Xiao Qing. Then he washed his face, brushed his teeth and put on clothes. Fortunately, Xiao Qing was there to take care of him, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do these things.This official uniform is so troublesome to wear!I don't have any toothpaste to brush my teeth, so I just use a salt handle.

After finishing cleaning up, Li Wei walked to the Meridian Gate on his legs. After waiting for a while, the door just opened.Xiaoqing was smart and gave him a good lead time.Neither made him late nor made him wait any longer.

Li Wei walked forward in line with the crowd. Originally, he was not qualified to go to the palace due to his rank, but he could not stop Zhu Yuanzhang's "favor" for him, so he forced him to enter the palace. Although he was standing at the back, he didn't have to be there at least. There's a cold wind blowing outside.

After Li Wei entered, he began to take a nap with his eyes closed. After waiting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang also arrived. The ministers knelt down and shouted slogans. He took a step slower and immediately stood out. Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely, but did not punish him. , the favored minister should be established for him!
After the salute, it was time to report to work as usual. The cabinet was just established, and Li Wei had nothing to report, so he just stood there and took a nap waiting to get off work.

After finally holding on until all these people were finished, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, he couldn't wait to rush out of the hall, causing the officials to scold him!

Wenyuan Pavilion is right next to the Meridian Gate. When Li Wei came here, he looked at this small room and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is the legendary cabinet so big?
Complaining was a complaint, but he still stepped in.

There was already a large group of people working inside. When they saw him coming in, they stopped what they were doing and looked over.

A middle-aged man stepped forward, clasping his fists and saying, "I wonder who you are?"

"Ahem... I am your boss, Li Wei, the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion!"

After the words fell, everyone had different expressions.

Li Wei's reputation as a traitor has spread throughout the court. Although they are not qualified to go to the palace, they have all heard about it.

At first they knew that their chief officer was this traitor, and they were very reluctant, but they could not violate His Majesty's will, so they could only hold their noses and admit it.

Seeing this chief officer at this time, they couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

"I've met Mr. Li..."

Everyone stood up to greet him one after another, some of them perfunctorily.

Li Wei didn't care. He nodded seriously and said, "Let's continue to work."

Then everyone sat down and went about their own business.

The middle-aged man led Li Wei to a very conspicuous seat. This position was different at first glance. People were crowded together, and his own table and chairs occupied a large space by himself.

Wenyuan Pavilion is not big or small, with only a few rooms, but it is far behind those big halls. As a department leader, he does not have his own private room, so he can only stay with his subordinates.

It's not that there are no rooms, it's just that besides their office area, there are many other rooms where books are stored.

When Li Wei sat down, Wu Bozong introduced the main members of the cabinet to Li Wei. Wang Jie, Wu Chen, Huang Zai, and himself, the middle-aged Wu Bozong, were all selected from the Hanlin Academy, and Wu Bozong was the top scholar.

Li Wei's expression did not change, and he was terrified. Compared with these people, he was really nothing, and he couldn't even recognize traditional Chinese characters.

He can recognize so many traditional Chinese characters, and he must thank the teachers from those island countries. If it were not for looking for their learning materials, I am afraid that Li Wei would have become semi-literate when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty.
