Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

In the Hubu Yamen, Ru Taisu, with a bruised nose and swollen face, was working alone in the main hall behind closed doors. He didn't want to see anyone now.

Just when he was autistic, Li Wei stormed into the Hubu Yamen:
"Master Ru, Master Ru!"

"Master Li, it is inconvenient for my Lord Shangshu to see guests today."

Li Wei walked in front, and the servants from the Ministry of Revenue chased him. They wanted to stop him but did not dare to stop him. Li Wei ignored him, walked directly to the main hall and pushed open the door.

"Master Ru, are you busy?"

"My lord, look at this..."

The officer followed Li Wei awkwardly.

Ru Taisu lowered his head, covered his face with one hand, and waved him away with the other hand.

Li Wei also noticed something strange about him at this time, and immediately stepped forward curiously: "Huh? Master Ru, what's wrong with you?"

The officer received the order and quietly retreated. Li Wei came to Ru Taisu and looked left and right.

Ru Taisu saw that she couldn't cover it up anyway, so she simply stopped covering it up. She just let go and asked with a sullen face: "What do you want from me?"

"Oh, I have a little something and I want to ask you for help."

"No help!"

Ru Taisu didn't even ask anything and refused directly.

"Look at you, this isn't interesting enough, isn't it? Your Majesty and I recommended you for the position of Minister, and you don't want to help me with such a small favor?"

Li Wei stood up and frowned.

When Ru Taisu heard this, his face suddenly froze, and he asked in shock: "What? Did you recommend me to His Majesty?"

"Yes!" Li Wei nodded.

After receiving the definite answer, Ru Taisu suddenly understood!
No wonder the attitude of his colleagues towards him suddenly changed drastically. Zhao Ben and others even called him a traitor. It turned out to be because he was recommended by Li Wei!

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have heard someone calling him "Li Party" in a low voice behind his back. He was still wondering at the time. He had heard about the Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang East Party. When did the DPRK have another Li Party? Well, it turns out that Party Li is talking about Li Wei, and he has become a member of Party Li without knowing it!
Seeing that his expression was not very good, Li Wei asked concernedly: "What's wrong, Master Ru?"

"Who asked you to recommend me?" Ru Taisu stood up angrily and asked.

Li Wei curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Then why don't you resign and stop working!"

The corners of Ru Taisu's mouth twitched, wanting to be tough but unable to do so.

This is a minister, the highest practical position of a civil servant. At that time, could you just quit if you said you didn't want to do it?
"What's the matter? I'll say anything ugly first. If it's against the laws and morals, don't say anything. As an official, I have principles!"

Ru Taisu said angrily.

"Just a little help..."

Li Wei fooled him again just like he fooled Xue Xiang.

After hearing this, Ru Taisu felt that this was just a small favor, and it was a good thing to popularize the law to the people, so he agreed without much thought.

"I can agree, but I have to wait for two days. It's not convenient recently."

Ru Taisu said softly.

Li Wei was stunned: "Why?"

Then when he saw the bruises on his face, he immediately reacted and couldn't help but laugh.

Ru Taisu glared at him angrily.

Li Wei quickly said: "It doesn't matter, I have a way."

"What can you do?"

"follow me!"

Li Wei said and dragged him out of the door.

Along the way, some people saw the two of them walking together, and they pointed fingers behind their backs, reinforcing Ru Taisu's identity as a traitor!

As for the injury on Ru Taisu's face, some people were secretly ridiculing him.

The two of them passed by the gate of the Jiaofang Division. Li Wei turned around and was about to go in. Ru Taisu frowned and called out to him: "Why did you bring me here?"

"You'll know in a minute, come in!"

Li Wei took the lead and stepped in. Ru Taisu hesitated and followed.

After Li Wei left, Feng Jingchun was promoted and took over as the director of the Jiaofang. After being notified by his musicians, he hurriedly came to greet him.

"I met Mr. Li."

Feng Jingchun saluted respectfully.

Although Li Wei is gone, his influence on Jiaofangsi is still there. Today, Jiaofangsi's system is still implemented as he formulated it before. Because of his care, others don't dare to come to Jiaofangsi to bully little girls anymore.

Li Wei nodded lightly in response, and then Feng Jingchun bowed to the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs, Ru Taisu, before leading the two of them in.

As soon as the two people entered the lobby, some officials who were listening to the music were immediately startled and stood up and bowed.

"I've met Mr. Li and Mr. Ru!"

One of them is now the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and the other is even more remarkable. Not that the Minister is better than the Minister, but even one sentence can influence the choice of a high-ranking official like the Minister!
Although these civil servants secretly disdain Li Wei, except for senior officials like Zhao Ben, Zhang Zongyi and others, they still dare not be rude in person. They do not have the saints like Li Wei, and they will be punished if they do not abide by etiquette and laws. of.

Li Wei nodded first, and then asked loudly to Feng Jingchun beside him: "Have they all paid?"

Hearing Li Wei ask this question, the officials who were listening to the music suddenly froze, their hearts in their throats.

"Alright, alright, according to the rules set by your Excellency, they all pay first before entering the venue." Feng Jingchun said.

"Is there anything irregular?"

"No, you all are well behaved."

"Well, that's good. As long as you listen to the music and enjoy the music, the Jiaofang Division still welcomes you. You must entertain them with all your heart. Of course, if anyone breaks the rules, just tell me and I will go and report to His Majesty!" Li Wei said slightly Nodding, he was coaxed and frightened.

"I understand, sir, don't worry."

Feng Jingchun bowed in response, and the officials present also hurriedly expressed their stance, saying that they would never mess up again.

Only then did Li Wei enter the back hall under the guidance of Feng Jingchun.

After entering the back hall, Li Weicai pointed to the scars on Ru Taisu's face and told Feng Jingchun: "Master Ru accidentally got hurt, please let someone cover it up."

Naturally, Feng Jingchun had noticed the injury on Ru Taisu's face a long time ago, but did not dare to ask more questions. Now he immediately understood after hearing Li Wei's instructions and responded: "Okay, sir."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ru Taisu looked at Li Wei in surprise, wondering how he would cover himself up.

After a while, Feng Jingchun came over with He Qing, two little musicians, and a makeup box used for the performance.

Ru Taisu understood this posture as soon as he saw it, and immediately looked horrified and shouted: "You want to put makeup on me?"

"Yes!" Li Wei nodded lightly.

"I won't change, I won't change!"

Ru Taisu said, stood up and was about to leave, joking, he is a grown man, a lot younger, how can he imitate the rouge and gouache on his face like a woman!

He Qing and others did not dare to stop him, so Li Wei could only push him down on the chair by himself.

"Don't worry, it's just to cover up the injury."

"I won't change, I won't!"

Ru Taisu struggled hard, but fortunately he was older and his physical strength was not as good as that of a weak young man like Li Wei.

"Quick, quick!"

Li Wei tried his best to hold him down, and then gave instructions to He Qing and others.

He Qing and others hesitated for a moment, but followed Li Wei's instructions and quickly started to transform him.

"Don't move, don't blame me if you animate into a big painted face again!"

Li Wei saw him struggling and moving, so he threatened him.

Sure enough, Ru Taisu's body froze and stopped moving. She wanted to move but didn't dare to move.

He Qing and others moved quickly, and their craftsmanship was not to mention. After a while, they were finished. Li Wei asked them to get a bronze mirror for Ru Taisu to take a picture of himself.

Ru Taisu looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a look of despair, but when he saw his own appearance in the mirror clearly, he let out a light sigh.

"Eh? You can still do this?"

The face in the mirror looked the same, not a flower girl as he imagined.

Moreover, the bruises that were originally bruised and purple are basically invisible. Although the complexion is still a little different from that of ordinary people, you really can't tell it without looking carefully.

"How's it going, isn't it?"

Li Wei proudly said that the musicians in the Jiaofang Division were not the only ones who needed makeup. The musicians also had to dress up when they played different characters. Of course it was not a problem to cover up Ru Taisu's scars.

Seeing this, Ru Taisu couldn't help but nodded appreciatively: "It's really good."

Li Wei smiled and couldn't help but asked curiously: "By the way, who inflicted this injury on you?"

"Hey, His Majesty sent people to fight." Ru Taisu didn't hide it and sighed.

Li Wei was immediately surprised: "Why did your Majesty hit you?"

"I don't know either. I wrote a memorial yesterday to thank His Majesty for your grace. Unexpectedly, several guards suddenly broke into my house at night."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked tentatively: "How many words did you write in the memorial?"

"About seventeen or eight thousand words."

Ru Taisu said casually, and he didn't count carefully.

Li Wei: "..."

How should I put it, he felt that the beating was not unfair!

He could imagine Zhu Yuanzhang being furious after reading this memorial!
"Master Ru, you..." Li Wei shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What's wrong with me?" Ru Taisu also raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Didn't His Majesty say that the memorial should be concise and to the point? You can easily write tens of thousands of words. Isn't this just a piece of writing? Your Majesty has so many memorials to read. Of course he will be angry if you waste his energy like this!"

Ru Taisu was stunned: "What is hydrology?"

"Well, just repeating useless nonsense!"

Ru Taisu lowered his head and thought for a moment. The first 7000 words or so of his memorial letter seemed to be a thank you for His Majesty's grace, but he only said something else at the end. Could this be called Shui Wen?

"Is it really because of this that Your Majesty sent people to beat me?"

"Sure!"

Li Wei nodded heavily.

Ru Taisu thought about it clearly and felt annoyed: "I was just excited. If I don't write more, I won't be able to express my gratitude to His Majesty!"

"Come on, just stop talking nonsense when you play in the future!" Li Wei taught earnestly.

"Hey!"

Ru Taisu sighed deeply. He felt aggrieved when he thought that he would no longer be able to show off his excellent literary talents to His Majesty in the future. It was a pity! (End of chapter)
