Mao Xiang took the two perpetrators away from the scene like a traffic policeman. Their subordinates also went back to their respective homes, and the road was finally clear.

In Wuying Palace, after Lan Yu and Li Wei were brought in, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at their noses and cursed.

"You bastards, you have a marquis and a consort, you are confronting us in the street and embarrassing us. Do you want the people in the capital to see our joke?"

"Your Majesty, Li Wei instigated others to slander me. I am not angry. I just want to ask him for an explanation. However, relying on his status as consort, he not only spoke rudely to me, but also tried to instruct the guards to attack me. It is really too much!" Lan Yu complained angrily.

In front of Li Wei, he could not take his identity as the consort seriously, but in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he had to take it into consideration.

"Your Majesty, you are aware of Lan Yu's misdeeds, and the ministers who impeached him also spoke uprightly. He Laichen instigated him to say that today he brought a foster son and a slave to deliberately block the road. It is clear that he is looking for trouble to embarrass the humble minister!"

"Nonsense, it was obviously you who slandered me first!"

"You brought it upon yourself!"

Li Wei and Lan Yu refused to give in.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt his head hurt when he heard this: "Okay, okay! You two still have some dignity. Lan Yu, what kind of virtues do you think we don't know about you? And you, your wings will be tough when you become the consort, right? You have learned to instigate others. Taking revenge for personal gain!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gave each of them fifty hits and gave them both a scolding. The two of them lowered their heads and actively admitted their mistakes on the surface, but secretly they were determined not to change it!
  "Okay, you go back first, take care of your slaves and adopted sons, and stop causing trouble!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished scolding, he said to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, suppressed the indignation in her heart, and respectfully said yes.

Then he paused for a moment, and when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang only asked him to retreat alone, and then nothing more happened, he suddenly felt frightened and angry.

This guy was clearly trying to drive him away, and then the two of them were whispering!

Outrageous!

"Why, do you still have something to do?"

Seeing that he was not moving, Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"No, it's okay, I'm going to leave!"

Lan Yu suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, bowed and left.

After he left, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Li Wei.

"You can do that. Now you don't even care about the Marquis?"

When Li Wei heard this, he rolled his eyes secretly, "Not only that, I don't even pay attention to the prince, okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued: "Okay, let's stop this matter. Lan Yu can't move yet."

"Then when can we move?" Li Wei's heart moved and he raised his head and asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully: "When you suppress all the nobles in this court."

Li Wei looked at him and thought to himself that if I could suppress all the nobles in the dynasty, I would be close to suppressing you, the emperor!

"Okay, you go back too!"

"Yes, I will leave!"

Li Wei bowed his hands and slowly exited the hall.

As the saying goes, good things do not go out, and bad things spread for thousands of miles.

The conflict between Li Wei and Lan Yu was spread by some people and became known throughout the court. Naturally, many military nobles sided with Lan Yu, accusing Li Wei of being a consort and being arrogant, even the Marquis dared to bully him. There are also many people who stand on Li Wei's side, instructing Lan Yu to be arrogant and domineering, and he deserves what he deserves.

The remaining civil servants, such as Zhao Ben, Zhang Zongyi and others, turned out to be freeloaders. They hate both Li Wei and the arrogant generals. Now that the two sides are quarreling, they, the civil servants, can stand aside and watch the excitement.

All of a sudden, the ministers in the court formed three factions. Two factions were fighting and one was causing trouble.

Until a person returns to Beijing, this person is Daotong!
  Daotong returned from inspecting Shandong with an order, and returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report on his work.

Han Yike was surprised when he saw his appearance: "What's wrong with you?"

Daotong now had a shallow scar on his face, and the official uniform on his body was also somewhat damaged. Although it had been tidied up, traces of the torture he had suffered could still be seen!

Daotong was also very angry at this time and said angrily: "When I visited Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong, I heard that Lan Yun, a Qianhu who guarded Dongchang, had occupied people's fields, so I went to inquire about it. I didn't expect that this Lan Yun relied on his own power. The younger brother of Marquis Yongchang actually drove his servants to drive me out, how unreasonable!"

"How dare this Lan Yun act so boldly?"

Han Yike was shocked and said that when the censor inspects a place, he represents the emperor. Lan Yun does this. It is no exaggeration to say that he is extremely bold!
  "Humph, these generals who are guarding the local area all think that they are the emperor of the country, and they don't even care about your majesty or the court!" Daotong said angrily. He had been bullied by Zhu Liangzu who guarded Guangdong and almost died, so he had no regard for these guards. The general didn't have a good impression at all.

Han Yike also looked extremely ugly.

"I will report this matter truthfully, and please make an order for your Majesty to investigate clearly!" Daotong said sternly.

"Yeah! As it should be!"

Han Yike nodded heavily, then remembered the conflict between Li Wei and Lan Yu, hesitated and said, "You might as well inform Mr. Li about this."

"Why?" Daotong asked in surprise.

Han Yike pondered for a moment and told Daotong what happened in the capital recently.

After hearing this, Daotong nodded slightly; "It's good that Mr. Li has won favor in front of the Holy Master. Your Majesty should pay more attention to his help."

After the two agreed, they went to the Ministry of Industry to find Li Wei.

Li Wei was also very surprised to see the two of them: "Why are you here? When did you come back, Daotong?"

Li Wei stood up to greet him, and when he got closer, he immediately noticed something strange on Daotong's face, and asked in shock: "What did you do to your face?"

Daotong snorted angrily and told the story about Dongchang Lanyun.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then shouted overjoyed: "Good fight!"

Daotong's face suddenly darkened, and Han Yike was also speechless for a while.

"Uh, um, I mean, this Lan Yun is so outrageous, he's so bold!"

Li Wei quickly corrected him.

"I'm going to tell your Majesty the truth!" Daotong said.

"Okay, I have to sue him properly. In this case, I will take you to dress up later. It is too rude for you to look disheveled like this!"

Li Wei advised earnestly.

Daotong looked at his official uniform and felt that what Li Wei said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

Li Wei then took the two of them to the Jiaofang Division, and then asked Feng Jingchun to find someone to make the scars on Daotong's face deeper.

That Qianhu Lanyun knew that he was the censor, so he didn't dare to be cruel. The scar on his face was also caused by a house slave who was brave enough to whip with a whip. At that time, Lan Yun was also shocked and quickly stopped him. After passing so many people on the road After days of rest, his scar is already very shallow.

However, after Li Wei had people modify it for a while, the scar suddenly became much more hideous.

After dressing up, Li Weicai and the two of them came outside the Meridian Gate and informed the guards that they wanted to meet His Majesty.

While waiting, Li Wei kept grabbing dirt from the ground and taking pictures of Dao Tong's official uniform.

"Master Li, what are you doing?" Daotong asked in confusion.

"Oh, I see your official uniform is dirty. I'll pat it for you." Li Wei said without changing his expression and his heart not beating.

Daotong looked at the official uniform that was clean but now dirty, and didn't know what to say.

Han Yike watched from the side and knew it very well. He rolled his eyes at Li Wei and said nothing.

"By the way, when you see His Majesty later, you must grasp the key point, which is the matter of Lan Yun beating you!"

Li Wei emphasized.

Daotong gave him a confused look and said, "Shouldn't the focus be on occupying people's fields?"

"Hey, the point is to beat you. Just mention the occupation of people's fields by the way!" Li Wei emphasized repeatedly.

He deeply understood that although seizing people's fields was serious, it was nothing compared to beating the censor.

Zhu Yuanzhang may be able to tolerate the lawlessness of his nobles, but he absolutely cannot tolerate their contempt for imperial power.

Daotong looked at him suspiciously and said nothing more.

"By the way, don't tell His Majesty that I dressed you up!" Li Wei specifically asked. (End of chapter)
