Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Xue Xiang was silent for a long time, and finally he could only sigh helplessly: "Hey, if you do good things, don't worry about the future!"

Even though he has been in the court for many years, he still can't think of a foolproof strategy. Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and a person with outstanding talents like Li Wei can't even refuse, and can only take one step at a time.

"Let's go, take care!" Xue Xiang cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Li Wei shouted from behind: "Sir, please take care, maybe I will visit you again one day!"

Xue Xiang chuckled and waved his hand chicly, as if he had waved away all the worries of the past.

Li Wei stood there for a long time, until Xue Xiang's back completely disappeared, then he sighed slightly and turned back to the city.

After Xue Xiang left, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, thinking a lot along the way.

A conversation with Xue Xiang today made him figure out some things. For example, Lan Yu caused trouble at the banquet before, but Zhu Yuanzhang never showed up. This may be his plan, and the purpose is to set himself up against the nobles. .

Zhu Yuanzhang had tricked him once before regarding Hu Weiyong. It was normal for him to do it again. What was unexpected was that the innocent musician Xu Yao was implicated because of Li Shanchang's words.

But thinking about it carefully, he and Lan Yu were both punished at that time, so there was no need to do anything more.

Li Wei frowned and recalled, remembering that Xu Yao seemed to want to say something at that time. He was so excited that he didn't pay attention, and then Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered someone to drag him down.

"Could Xu Yao know some secret and want to tell me that Zhu Yuanzhang killed someone to silence him?" Li Wei thought to himself.

But after much deliberation, he couldn't think of any big secrets that Xu Yao, a music girl, could know, worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal order to silence them.

After thinking hard to no avail, he could only put this aside and speed up his pace back to the city.

……

Fengtian Temple.

After handling the daily government affairs, most of the ministers returned to their respective yamen for work, leaving only a few important ministers, nobles and some censors to participate in the afternoon court.

After resting and eating, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne again. The ministers saluted briefly and then began the formal discussion.

"Today, I will let you all stay here to discuss the candidates for the three ministers of official affairs, rituals, and work. Ruan Quan and others are old and ready to serve, but the government affairs of the DPRK cannot be delayed. If you have any suggestions, please tell me. Today Select people.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said softly.

When the ministers heard this, they immediately became energetic. The moment of decisive battle had come, and they had to go all out!

"Your Majesty, the post of Minister is of great importance. I believe that a person with rich qualifications, maturity and prudent attitude should be chosen to take over, in order to ensure that the affairs of the various ministries are in order. Du Ze, Liu Zhongzhi and Zhao Jun have all served in various ministries for many years, so they can be entrusted with important responsibilities. "

Zhang Zongyi came out of the class to play, and after speaking, he secretly glanced at Lan Yu, Cao Xing, Zhang Wen and others inside the class. Lan Yu and others also responded with their eyes.

Before, he and Zhao Jun visited these people in the name of Li Shanchang. As expected, these people were very generous, especially Lan Yu, who promised to help. In addition to his old grudge with Li Wei, Li Shanchang's face also played a big role. big effect.

As for Li Shanchang himself, after learning about the actions of Zhang Zongyi and others, he did not express the slightest expression. It is not known whether he acquiesced or pretended to be ignorant.

After Zhang Zongyi finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him expressionlessly, noncommittal, waiting for others to speak.

Zhao Ben, as Zhang Zongyi's old partner, saw this and went out to announce: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang's words are safe, I second my opinion!"

"I also second the proposal!"

Tang Duo and several others also came out and agreed.

Ru Taisu stood in the courtroom, hesitant in his heart. He didn't know whether he should come out to object and help Li Wei and others.

The people in the court at this moment are all officials from various yamen. Three of the six ministers are gone. The other yamen have nothing to do with Li Wei. He is the only one who is the minister of the household department and is a member of the "Li Party". If he hadn't Speaking, then we can only let Zhang Zongyi, Zhao Ben and others make the decision.

After hesitating for a long time, Ru Taisu sighed helplessly and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. The court cannot appoint people based on qualifications alone. For example, Mr. Li Wei from the Ministry of Industry, although he has only been in the court for a short period of time, , but their achievements are outstanding, far beyond the comparison of Zhao Jun who has been serving for many years. As for Du Ze and Liu Zhongzhi, they were promoted to ministers less than a year ago, so it would be an exaggeration to say that they have rich qualifications."

After Ru Taisu finished speaking, Zhang Zongyi and others immediately cast angry looks at him, scolding "Li Party traitors" in their hearts.

In the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang has been dancing with his butcher knife, and important ministers in various ministries in the court have been replaced like a whirlwind. Even important posts such as the Six Ministers are rarely held for one year, especially the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Households, which take one year. I've changed it several times, but it still hasn't stabilized until now.

Of the three people Zhang Zongyi mentioned just now, except for Zhao Jun, who has indeed been serving as minister for a long time, the other two have just been promoted. Zhang Zongyi is right to say that these two people have served for many years, but they used to be ministers. Just a minor official.

"Humph, although Li Wei has meritorious deeds, he is young, acts recklessly, and does not follow the rules. How can the court allow such a person to take on important responsibilities? Ru Shangshu, don't accept favors because of yourself. Just talk nonsense based on favoritism!" Zhang Zongyi snorted coldly.

Ru Taisu's face suddenly turned red and he emphasized loudly: "I'm just telling the truth, and I have no intention of showing any favoritism! Your Majesty, you know what Li Wei did, such as supervising the manufacture of muskets and artillery, improving methods and improving the work of the Ministry of Industry. Efficiency, as well as the establishment of the Zhangxing Department to print new banknotes, which not only stabilized the treasure banknotes, but also solved the expenditure needs for the court. Which of these is not a major event that contributed to the country? Li Wei is definitely qualified to be this minister! "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly when he heard this: "Well, Li Wei is indeed talented, and Xue Xiang also recommended him to us when he became an official."

Zhang Zongyi was startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, although Li Wei is talented, he is still too young. We should let him hone his skills for a few more years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the nobles, and said softly:

"What do you think?"

Although most of these nobles hold temporary positions in the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, in addition to military affairs, they also have the power to participate in political affairs. Although they have no actual duties, they are also qualified to offer advice and recommend talents.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang asked, the generals could naturally speak freely.

Now that Xu Da has left Peiping and Fu Youde has not returned from his expedition to Yunnan, the only two princes standing at the forefront of the noble line are Feng Sheng and Tang He.

Tang He is not as capable as Xu Da, but when it comes to loyalty, he is still better. Zhu Yuanzhang has already expressed his attitude just now. Of course, he will not say anything and immediately agrees: "I think Li Wei is good, let him work The minister is very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, not surprised by this, and then looked at Feng Sheng again.

Although Feng Sheng was not as good at flattering as Tang He, he still respectfully said: "It's all up to your Majesty!"

The two big men agreed. Logically speaking, the other junior generals could just chime in with a few words. However, it was different today.

Under the anxious eyes of Zhang Zongyi and others, Lan Yu was the first to object: "Your Majesty, Li Wei has committed many illegal acts before, beating subordinates, inciting craftsmen to cause chaos, and doing too many things to arrogate power. This person is really not suitable to be entrusted to him." Heavy responsibility!”

"Oh, really? Then who do you think is suitable?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him lightly and asked.

"Of course it's Minister Zhao. Minister Zhao has been in an important position for many years and has never neglected his work. He deserves to be entrusted with such important responsibilities."

"Do you know him quite well?"

Lan Yu's heart trembled, knowing that she had said too much, so she quickly changed her words: "I only heard a little bit about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and did not pursue the matter, but continued to ask other people.

Zhang Zongyi walked around, and with the pervasiveness of his personal guards and school inspectors, he would not be unaware. Today, he wanted to see which generals Zhang Zongyi and Zhao Jun had incited to speak for them.

The nobles answered in twos and threes. Cao Xing, Zhang Wen and others followed Lan Yu and echoed a few words in accordance with the previous agreement, but their attitude was obviously not as positive as Lan Yu. Others were mostly like Feng Sheng, saying that one sentence depends on your majesty. Make the decision and pass it by.

After everyone expressed their opinions, they all turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for him to make a judgment.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone and suddenly shouted: "Yu Ji!"

Among the ministers, the general secretary Yu Xun, who had no sense of presence, was suddenly called by his name. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly left the office and saluted: "I am here."

"You will be transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs from now on. You must work hard and don't let down our expectations!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

When Yu Heng heard this, his breathing was stagnant. It took him a moment to realize that he had been promoted! Still he was promoted to Heavenly Official in one fell swoop!

"My lord... I thank you for your kindness. I will do my best to manage the official affairs and live up to your Majesty's expectations!" Yu Xu was excited and incoherent, and he hurriedly bowed down to express his gratitude.

Zhang Zongyi, Lan Yu and others were all surprised, and Ru Taisu also looked astonished. Zhu Yuanzhang neither had the person recommended by Zhang Zongyi nor had the high respect that Li Wei had taught him, but chose Yu Xi, who had no sense of presence. In fact, It's so surprising!

Yu Ji respectfully thanked him and returned to the courtroom with satisfaction, becoming the unexpected winner of this argument.

"In addition, the Ministry of Rites will decide on a high level of trust, and the Ministry of Works will discuss it later!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said the same thing. Although he said he would listen to everyone's opinions, he did not listen to anyone's decision. Except for Gao Xin from the Ministry of Rites, who was biased towards Li Wei, the others appointed Yu, who was unexpected by everyone. Yes, the other one is directly postponed for further discussion.

Although Zhang Zongyi and others were dissatisfied, fortunately, His Majesty did not use Li Party's traitors, and Li Wei himself failed to be promoted. In short, their efforts were not in vain.

"Your Majesty is wise, I obey your orders!"

Everyone bowed and accepted the order, and the matter came to an end for the time being.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the throne, sneered in his heart. In fact, he had already arranged these things. As Xue Xiang said, no one can stop what he wants to do. Li Wei's promotion to the Minister of Industry is inevitable! (End of chapter)
