Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the ministers and paused for a moment on Li Shanchang, but was immediately denied by himself.

Li Shanchang has always been cautious in doing things and would not do it so obviously. This Tang Duo should not have been arranged by him.

Zhao Ben lowered his head and said nothing. He obviously didn't have the courage. As for the others, they didn't have the ability to instruct a deputy censor.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "The phase is over, we will not reset it again, nor will we allow the successor to reset it. Although Li Wei has been awarded the title due to his merit, he is still just the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. , if other ministers have the ability to govern, they can also receive this reward, and we will never favor anyone!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Although the ministers felt that he was telling lies with open eyes, they did not dare to refute him at all.

After Li Wei's reward was decided, he retreated to the class while other yamen continued to carry out the work.

After a long time, the morning court ended with a high-pitched shout from Xu Shou. Zhu Yuanzhang left first, and the officials dispersed one after another.

As soon as Li Wei and the "Li Party" members walked out of the palace, they were stopped by a young eunuch.

In view of the "self-indulgence" when he summoned Xue Xiang before, Li Wei did not take the initiative to speak this time, but waited for the little eunuch to explain that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to summon him before leaving.

Arriving at the back hall, just as Li Wei was about to salute, he was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang:

"You are so majestic. Are we giving you a bodyguard to show off your majesty? And all the ministers are welcoming you. Do you really want to be the prime minister?"

Li Wei was scolded and rolled his eyes.

You gave me the guards, and you arranged for the ministers on purpose. What do you want from me?

"Be more low-key in the future. Look at Li Shanchang, how low-key he is. He is the Duke of the country and a founding hero, but he is not like you!" Zhu Yuanzhang then warned.

Li Wei curled his lips and whispered: "That's because he has something in his heart."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him.

He agreed with this point, but Li Wei couldn't do this. He was surrounded by ministers and guards all day long, and it was difficult not to be impeached.

"Okay, the capital is not as good as Yangzhou. This place is under our noses. You can't lose your life. Quickly find a place for your guards to stay. Just go out less often in the future!"

"Yes, I obey your order."

Li Wei honestly agreed. In fact, he didn't mean to show off with thousands of guards. He just came back from Yangzhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and asked again: "What do you think of that Tang Duo?"

"Oh him, I think he is just a deadbeat. Aren't all the censors in the Imperial Procuratorate like this? Just ignore him."

"Hmph, how can it be so simple that a stubborn censor can say such nonsense? With his words, if we don't trust you at all, you will not end up well."

Li Wei glanced at him quietly, then I still have to thank you?

"We will examine this Tang Duo carefully. You should also be more cautious in dealing with things in the future. Don't think that you can take care of most of the civil servants. Things in the court are not that simple!" Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.

"Oh, okay, Your Majesty." Li Wei agreed softly.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then changed the topic: "Do you know the purpose of the title we gave you today?"

"Well..., I have a false title and a little extra salary." Li Wei thought for a while and replied.

When he heard the two adjectives "virtual" and "dian", Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly darkened and he glared at him angrily: "Only a virtual title, no salary!"

Originally there was, but after hearing Li Wei's dismissive words, he immediately decided to deduct it.

"Uh, okay."

Li Wei didn't compete for this salary. After all, his net worth at this time was at least hundreds of thousands, and he really looked down upon this little money. Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more displeased. He secretly thought that today's reward was just a reward for a dog. This dog didn't know how to be grateful at all, and he didn't even express gratitude.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go away, go back and study more, and learn more about the government!"

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and shouted, and Li Wei happily resigned.

Seeing his unconcerned look, Zhu Yuanzhang murmured: "It seems that someone needs to tell him how generous our reward is, so as to prevent this kid from being ignorant!"

Back at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, not long after Li Weigang sat down, Gao Xin, Chen Jing, Wang Jie and others came to pay their respects.

"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. You have made new achievements and received a heavy reward from your majesty. I really admire you!" Gao Xin complimented.

"Hey, it's just a false title. There's nothing worthy of congratulations."

Li Wei waved his hand lightly, he really thought it was no big deal.

Gao Xin and Chen Jing were stunned, not knowing what word to use to replace Versailles.

"Uh, sir, you can't say that. This is not only a false title, it also has many practical uses." Wang Jie said softly.

"What's the use?" Li Wei asked in surprise.

Wang Jie pondered for a moment and then explained: "Although this specially promoted Ronglu doctor is only a casual rank and has no actual position, his first-class rank is real. First of all, adults can enjoy the first-class rank in the crown, uniforms, and mansions." If you meet other officials on the way, if your rank is high, they will be polite to you."

Li Wei was disdainful: "Is that a high rank, or a prince-in-law?"

"Uh..." Wang Jie was speechless for a moment. The Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort is higher than the uncle, and belongs to the super rank. Naturally, it is higher than the false title of the first rank. Li Wei is the Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort, and all he enjoys is the Super Rank. The treatment, for this genuine title, is naturally a bit tasteless.

"Actually, these benefits are secondary. The most important thing is that your Excellency is one level higher. To other colleagues, you are half a superior. From now on, Your Majesty's prestige in the hearts of the lower officials and others will be much higher." Gao Xin said respectfully.

Although the false title has no actual position, their civil servants still value it very much. Although Prince Consort is high, it is not as prestigious as the false title of civil servant. After all, one is clinging to the imperial power, and the other is actually awarded the title for his merits.

After Gao Xin and Wang Jie gave a lot of explanations, Li Wei finally understood a little bit.

To put it simply, people like Gao Xin listened to him before because of His Majesty's favor. But now, with his title, his status is higher than that of ordinary ministers like Gao Xin. Although he has no superior-subordinate relationship, he has the right to speak. To be heavier.

"It's really gratifying that your lord's authority has risen to a higher level. I should like to congratulate you."

"Yes, yes, congratulations, sir!"

Seeing that Li Wei understood, Gao Xin, Wang Jie and others immediately flattered him again.

Li Wei glanced at them lightly and reprimanded unhappily: "The power you have is all about people... To serve His Majesty, can you be willful if you have the power? I'm not talking about you, the ideological consciousness of you guys is really There is room for improvement!”

"Uh."

Gao Xin and others were stunned by what he said. The flattering words were suddenly suppressed in their throats. They were silent for a long time before they thought of a way to solve the problem and continued to flatter:

"Your Majesty's high demeanor and integrity really impress my subordinates!"

"Yes." Li Wei nodded with satisfaction.

After saying these words, he suddenly felt a little hungry and wanted to try a bowl of noodles... (End of Chapter)
