Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Li Wei took out the imperial edict and slowly opened it.

The chapter begins as usual with the story of "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor", and then it is Zhu Yuanzhang's boast, and in the middle he mentions "Zi Er Li Wei" or something.

Li Wei quickly scanned the useless nonsense in front of him and fixed his eyes on the end. The three words "King Guangling" came into view, which immediately surprised him.

Is Zhu Yuanzhang really willing to grant him the title of king?

"You see, if we keep our word and make you the king, then sooner or later it will be yours." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his surprised expression and said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei's face was full of surprise and he thanked him sincerely. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so generous.

But then he became a little confused: "But what does this have to do with you asking me to go to Yangzhou?"

He remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Yangzhou just now before going to get the imperial edict.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this question, he glared and angrily said: "Guangling is the name of Yangzhou! You just don't listen when I tell you to study hard, you bastard!"

"Uh, that's what it looks like!"

Li Wei scratched his head in embarrassment.

The Ming Dynasty's titles were also very particular. When they were born, they were called "feng", and when they died, they were called "gifts". One word was used for prince, and two words were used for county king. The so-called "side by side king" came from here.

The king titles are also the names of the vassal states created during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as well as some place names. Most of the princes, including the princes, are also named after the place names. Except for a few special cases, such as the uncle Shenji before Li Wei, who belongs to the scorpion shit. A dose of poison.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the title of King Guangling. If he was granted the title alive, Yangzhou would be his fief. If he was granted the title posthumously, he would have to make some contributions in Yangzhou in order to be convincing.

Li Wei happily read these edicts that he didn't quite understand from beginning to end. However, after searching for a moment, he couldn't find much food, and he suddenly felt a little confused.

He remembered that Wang Jue's salary could start from ten thousand stones! Relative to false reputation, this is the point!

"Your Majesty, why didn't I see Shilu?" Li Wei asked without understanding.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized that this boy didn't understand the word "gift" in front of King Guangling at all.

He didn't bother to explain to this kid, and just took the imperial edict back: "You still want to ask for money from us? It's better if we don't ask for it from you!"

When Li Wei saw that the imperial edict was taken away, he was shocked and said quickly: "If you don't want it, don't do it. Your Majesty, you can't take back this imperial edict!"

"Humph, I can't give it to you now." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"When will it be given?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the time to roll up the imperial edict, put it back into the brocade box, and said calmly: "When you do some great work, we will give it to you to convince the public!"

Li Wei was stunned. Good guy, so you just took out the cake and let me smell it?

In his reluctant eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang put away the imperial edict again, and then said: "Although we cannot give you this in advance, we can reward you with some benefits first, for example, giving you a battalion of guards."

"A battalion of guards?"

"Yes, you recruit the people yourself, pay for it yourself, and we allow you to have one guard." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately became alert. He had not forgotten what Xue Xiang said before leaving.

It was already very bad for him to be the commander of the Shenji Battalion, but now he has a battalion of private guards, how can he still do it?

"Your Majesty, I think this is unnecessary!"

"You don't want it?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him in surprise.

"The main reason is that I don't have money to support him," Li Wei said as an excuse.

"Fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted angrily.

Although he did not pay attention to the situation of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce every day, he also knew that the chamber of commerce and the bank must have made a lot of money today. Even if Li Wei only took 20%, it would be hundreds of thousands of dollars at least. It is still easy to raise a guard of soldiers and horses. Easy.

"That's it. When you recruit all the people, we will let you go to Yangzhou."

Zhu Yuanzhang said decisively that he would not be able to let this boy go without arranging bodyguards for him.

When Li Wei heard this, he frowned and said nothing. Military power is a good thing. He both wants it and doesn't want it. If he wants to go to sea in the future, it is inevitable to lead troops. Otherwise, if he cannot even guarantee his own safety, then going out will mean death.

But military power is very sensitive. Now Zhu Yuanzhang trusts him and gives him a guard, but what if he doesn't trust him in the future? These soldiers and horses will become his talisman!

After being silent for a long time, Li Wei finally agreed first.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give it, he couldn't refuse it, so he could only recruit fewer people first to avoid arousing suspicion.

After Li Wei agreed, he resigned, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him and said: "The prince has something to ask you for help. Please go to his place to see him before leaving."

Li Wei didn't think much, so he nodded and agreed. Anyway, Zhu Biao was in the Wenhua Hall, not far away.

After coming out of Zhu Yuanzhang's place, Li Wei turned a corner and went to find Zhu Biao.

In the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Biao was reviewing the memorial.

Ever since Empress Ma fell seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang had entrusted him with many government affairs. Basically, he had to review all the memorials before giving them to Zhu Yuanzhang for inspection.

After these days, he realized how hard his father had been.

When Li Wei arrived, he bowed his hands in salute. Zhu Biao was so busy that he didn't even raise his head. He waved his hand casually and asked him to find a place to sit by himself.

Li Wei was not polite and found a chair to sit down as he was told.

"What do you want from me?"

Zhu Biao lowered his head and asked aloud while reading the memorial.

Li Wei said in surprise: "Don't you have something to do with me?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Biao raised his head in surprise and looked at him with some confusion.

"His Majesty said that you need my help and asked me to come over and take a look." Li Wei explained.

When Zhu Biao heard this, his eyes suddenly froze. Since his father asked Li Wei to come to him, it must have a deep meaning. However, what could he ask Li Wei for help with?

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and he suddenly understood what his father meant.

"Oh, that's true. I have something I need your help with." Zhu Biao nodded.

Li Wei looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

"Haha, it's like this. Weren't all the generals in Yangzhou and the officials along the Yangtze River and Qianhu Office arrested because of your matter? Now the review has basically been completed. Many of them don't know about it. , it has nothing to do with it, but my father insists on executing all these generals, and I want you to help come forward and intercede on their behalf."

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Li Wei was confused: "Your Highness, wouldn't it be better for you to intercede for them? Why do you need me to come forward?"

Zhu Biao smiled and was silent for a moment.

This matter originally required him to come forward to plead for mercy. The purpose was nothing more than to be like before, his father acted as a tyrant and he acted as a good person, singing and singing to win people's hearts. He was familiar with this.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang has brought Li Wei over, with the purpose of asking him to give this opportunity to Li Wei. Li Wei is going to Yangzhou soon. With this favor, his safety will be more guaranteed.

"Well, it's like this..."

Zhu Biao told Li Wei tactfully about the matter, and Li Wei suddenly understood.

"No! I will never do such a thing!" Li Wei refused righteously.

Just kidding, he has always been honest with people, how could he do such a thing?

Zhu Biao glanced at him and said calmly: "Okay, anyway, I've told you what happened. Tomorrow morning, my father will issue an order to kill these people. It's up to you." (End of this chapter.) )
