Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Li Wei, who had just opened his eyes, was furious when he heard this. He pointed at him and shouted: "How dare you slander Mr. Han?!"

"?"

Li Shanchang lay on his gun for no reason, and was suddenly startled. He turned to look at Li Wei and Zhang Zongyi.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally wanted to stop the noise, was slightly startled when he heard this, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​stopping it.

Zhang Zongyi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pointed at Li Wei and said, "I'm talking about you!"

Although Li Shanchang looks aloof from the world, his reputation among the nobles is very high. If he offends this big boss for no reason, even if he is a minister, he will not suffer.

"You're talking about Li!" Li Wei corrected.

"you you you……"

"Li Li Li..."

Zhang Zongyi's fingers trembled and he pointed at Li Wei and was speechless for a moment.

Li Shanchang glanced at Li Wei, then turned around and ignored it. This kind of childishness had no impact on him.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense in the court!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally shouted.

Li Wei and others bowed down to plead guilty, and the quarrel ended.

"Your Majesty, the posts of Officials and Minister of Rites are closely related, and it is not suitable to remain vacant for a long time. Your Majesty, please make your decision early." Li Shanchang said something rare.

Zhao Ben followed: "What Mr. Han said is absolutely true. I think Du Ze from the Ministry of Personnel and Liu Zhongzhi from the Ministry of Rites can be used."

Chen Jing and Gao Xin both looked ugly when they heard what he said. They turned their eyes to Li Wei, hoping that he could say something. After all, they themselves couldn't recommend themselves shamelessly.

However, Li Wei turned a blind eye. He taught everything he could. Now it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's will to use and not use others. It is useless for others to say.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Zhao Ben without hesitation and said coldly: "This matter will be discussed later!"

"Yes!"

When Zhao Ben heard this, although he was a little disappointed, fortunately he was not convinced about Chen Jing and the others, and he was slightly relieved.

After the morning court ended, Li Wei left the hall with Xue Xiang and others. Now he was no longer a lonely minister, and there were many people around him.

Everyone was talking and laughing. Not far after leaving the palace, Xu Shou chased him out and stopped him in front of everyone.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment and asked in a sentimental tone: "Your Majesty is looking for me again?"

"Haha, no, it's Mr. Xue!" Xu Shou said with a smile.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xue Xiang, whose expression was also very surprised.

"Master Xue, please." Xu Shou said softly.

Xue Xiang followed the doubts in his heart and left with Xu Shou. A moment later, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang in Jinshen Hall.

"I see your Majesty!"

"Well, no courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the emperor and his ministers had seen each other, Xue Xiang stood respectfully, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at him and said with a smile: "You are not young anymore. Stop standing. Xu Shou, go get a stool."

"Yes." Xu Shou took the order and quickly fetched a small bench.

Xue Xiang was stunned for a moment, respectfully thanked him, and then sat down.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "How is the Ministry of Works lately? Is that boy doing well?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li is very talented. Since his reinstatement, the efficiency of the departments he manages has been greatly improved, and all aspects have been handled properly. Moreover, Mr. Li gave me a lot of suggestions yesterday, and I think they are all very good." Xue Xiang praised.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good. Our training of him is not in vain."

Xue Xiang lowered his head and said yes. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him again and said softly: "Of course, this kid can grow up, and you have a share of the credit. Later, I will reward you with some money, money, and Wenqi, and have someone send it to you. "

Xue Xiang stood up quickly: "I eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries. I don't dare to be greedy for merit!"

"It doesn't matter, you deserve it." Zhu Yuanzhang settled on the reward with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Xue Xiang had no choice but to accept the reward to thank him.

Zhu Yuanzhang then chatted with him for a few more words before asking him to leave.

Xue Xiang bowed and exited the hall, walking out of the palace gate alone.

When he arrived outside the palace gate, he stopped, looked back at the majestic palace city, and sighed quietly.

When Li Wei saw Xue Xiang entering the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he chased after him and asked curiously: "Why is your Majesty looking for you?"

Xue Xiang glanced at him, and while walking to his main hall, he said: "Your Majesty rewarded me with some gold and silver silk and satin."

When Li Wei heard this, he was a little confused and said: "You are so old and dishonest, why does he reward you with this?"

Xue Xiang walked into the lobby, sat down in his seat, took out the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea. Li Wei was not polite and directly reached out to pick up the tea, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, waiting for his answer.

Xue Xiang rolled his eyes at him, then reluctantly took out another tea cup and poured himself a cup.

After taking a sip of tea, Xue Xiang spoke softly: "Your Majesty said that I am not too young, so he gave me a seat, asked about you, and then gave me the reward." After saying this, he raised his eyes and stared at Li Wei, look at his reaction.

Li Wei clicked his tongue twice and said, "Your Majesty is quite nice."

Xue Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head gently. After a moment, he straightened his expression and said softly: "I want to resign and go back to work."

"?" Li Wei looked at him in surprise, feeling unbelievable: "How dare you leave home at this age? You can't work for a few more years until you reach the age of Nesi?"

"..."

Xue Xiang was a little speechless. Although he was a few years younger than Ne Si, it was not too early to resign and go back to work.

"Didn't Your Majesty say it already? I'm not young anymore!"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Is this what he meant?"

Xue Xiang did not answer, but took a long breath and taught: "From now on, the Ministry of Industry will be left to you. You must be more cautious in doing things in the future, think twice before doing anything, and pay attention to your own words and deeds... …”

Xue Xiang talked a lot, and Li Wei listened quietly without bothering him.

He also understood that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xue Xiang to give up his position to him in advance. Once Xue Xiang left, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry would be his.

In fact, he does a lot of things now. Xue Xiang basically doesn't take care of things. It's just that there is an experienced master watching over him and he is the one who makes the decision. There is still a big difference. When he learned that Xue Xiang was leaving, he suddenly Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

It's just that the emperor has spoken, and Xue Xiang will definitely leave. If he dares to stay, then what he will give next time will not be a reward.

After Xue Xiang gave him some advice, he submitted a letter to resign the next day.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree happily, but repeatedly tried to stay. It was not until he wrote three times that he agreed with deep regret.

Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to ask him who would take over the engineering department, and Xue Xiang naturally recommended Li Wei.

Lao Zhu said: Good!

Li Wei despised his routine. He was obviously the one who asked people to leave, but he still had to put on a show.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Xue Xiang were playing tricks, Zhao Ben and Zhang Zongyi couldn't sit still after learning the news.

Although they did not know the conversation between Xue Xiang and Zhu Yuanzhang that day, it was not difficult to guess Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions. After learning about this, they no longer cared about Chen Jing and the others, and focused all their thoughts on the Ministry of Works.

In their view, the threat of Li Wei's own rise to power was far greater than that of Gao Jing's two lackeys.

Now that Li Wei is just a minister, he is already lawless. If he goes one step further, and other ministries will be his lackeys, how can he still do it?

At Zhang Zongyi's house, Zhao Ben, Du Ze, Liu Zhongzhi, and Tang Duo, a deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., all gathered together with sad faces.

Of course, there is also today’s protagonist, Zhao Jun, the Minister of Industry.

"Two ministers, I see that your majesty intends to help Li Wei ascend to the throne. What should we do?"

Zhao Jun asked eagerly.

He and Li Wei were classified as assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works. With Xue Xiang gone, it stands to reason that both of them would have a chance, and in terms of qualifications, he was far better than Li Wei.

However, Li Wei was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit. He had felt threatened before and tried his best to impeach several times, but it failed to have any effect. Now, the situation that worries him has still happened.

"Secretary Zhao, please be patient. We are also thinking of a solution. Don't worry, I will fully support you!"

Zhang Zongyi comforted him softly.

However, his words had no effect, Zhao Jun still looked anxious.

Today's His Majesty is not the weak king in the Song Dynasty. Although they have the right to recommend people, whether they should be used and who should be used is ultimately a matter of His Majesty's word.

"Hey, I didn't expect that what was once a little treacherous person has now turned into a serious nuisance."

Zhao Ben sighed.

I remember that when Li Wei first entered the court, he did not know the etiquette and behaved like a common man. Although everyone did not like him because of Hu Weiyong's affairs, and they repeatedly impeached and scolded him as a traitor, but in fact no one took him seriously.

However, it is different now. Seeing that this young prince-consort is about to reach the top of the civil service, and many people from other ministries are also leaning towards him, his power is eye-catching.

Zhang Zongyi looked at the number of people in the hall, which was nearly half less than when the meeting was held, and couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.

"The traitors in the DPRK are in power, so we should unite as one. This time we must go all out to stop this!" Tang Duo said righteously.

"What Mr. Tang said is absolutely true!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

However, after agreeing, everyone fell into silence again.

After a while, Zhao Jun couldn't help but come up with an idea that surprised everyone: "How about we go find those nobles?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him sideways.

They, the civil servants, were self-righteous and had always looked down on those reckless men. Zhao Jun was forced to act in a hurry and wanted to show off his face and join forces with these people.

Although Zhang Zongyi, Zhao Ben and others also had this idea, they were concerned about their face and were unwilling to bring it up. Now that Zhao Jun has become the leader, it can be regarded as giving them a step up.

"Now that the situation is forcing us to give this method a try," Zhang Zongyi, the host, was the first to agree.

If anyone present has the deepest conflict with Li Wei, it must be him, the Minister of Punishment. Others may have prejudices or selfish motives, but most of them do not have a deep hatred for Li Wei.

But he severely offended Li Wei because of the craftsman matter. (End of chapter)
