Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

"You...you traitors!"

Zhan Hui pointed at the officials who had impeached him, and then turned around and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, I have no connection with Lan Yu. Your Majesty, please do not believe the slander of these treacherous officials!"

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were on Li Wei at this time and he ignored his begging.

Zhan Hui's face turned pale when he saw this.

Li Wei waved his hand casually, and Lu Tang understood and immediately called out:
"Come here, take them away and wait for punishment!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers guarding the outside immediately responded and entered the hall. The guards on the other side were at a loss for a moment and could only look at Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not say a word, they could only pretend not to see it.

"Your Majesty! I am innocent! Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, you must not compromise. There are still 300,000 troops outside the city, and the King of Jin and the King of Yan are still here. They will definitely be able to get rid of this traitor..."

Zhan Hui, Li Shu and others were carried out by Li Wei's soldiers while shouting. The ministers in the hall were even more terrified when they saw this. They were so scared that they dared not look up. The hall suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said, "If there is nothing else, please leave."

Xu Shou, who was beside Zhu Yuanzhang, reacted and said tremblingly: "If you have anything to say, please report it. If not, I will dismiss the court!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers felt as if they had been pardoned and hurriedly bowed and took their leave.

They retreated, but Li Wei did not stand up, and Lu Tang also did not move.

"Everyone, step back!" Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Xu Shou was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and took his leave.

Li Wei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hesitated for a moment, and waved to Lu Tang beside him. Lu Tang understood, bowed, and turned away.

He and Zhu Yuanzhang were the only ones left in the hall. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him quietly. Li Wei didn't care either. He sat leisurely and looked at him.

"Hmph, it seems that the court has become yours now. Why don't we give the throne to you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Li Wei shrugged indifferently: "Not impossible."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up and waved at him: "Come, come, come!"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips, threw the melon seed shells away, put the rest in his pocket, stood up generously and walked towards the throne.

When he stepped onto the imperial platform, Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and took a step back, really giving up his seat to him.

Li Wei was a little surprised and stared at him closely.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand expressionlessly and pointed at the dragon throne: "Sit down."

Li Wei stared at him and placed his hands on the armrests of the dragon throne. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang remained indifferent, he pretended to sit on it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Li Wei noticed his expression and immediately showed a playful smile. His butt, which was about to touch the dragon chair, bounced up again and said disdainfully: "Tsk, I don't care about this crappy seat!"

"I know that you are a hopeless bastard. You are reluctant to take up an official position and you are always thinking about running away. Even if I give you the throne, you won't be able to sit still!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately shouted loudly, and after he finished scolding, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wei rolled his eyes at him. It was obvious that the old guy was not sincere in giving up his position. He even acted as if he was blaming him for not living up to his expectations. He was so shameless!
"But you don't have to be happy too soon. If I don't sit in this seat, you can't sit in it either. From now on, I will establish a new system to replace your chair!"

Li Wei sneered.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze, and he stared at him with eyes wide open. Li Wei stared back without giving in.

"Do you think your idea of ​​electing a king by the people will really work?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. "Of course!" Li Wei said confidently.

These are systems that have been tried and tested in later generations, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Innocent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, even angrier than if he had just sat on the throne.

Li Wei looked at him pacing back and forth, breathing heavily, and suddenly felt much better.

To be honest, he still doesn't know how to treat Zhu Yuanzhang.

Putting aside the practical issues, Zhu Yuanzhang is his father-in-law after all. It is said that there is no family affection in the royal family, but he can't do it.

Although he was forced to marry Anqing due to the situation, his feelings for her were no weaker than those with Xiaoqing. Moreover, they now had children together. How could he ignore the bond of family affection?

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not killed Xiaoqing, he would not have done so many things. When the time was right, he would have simply fled away and lived a free and easy life overseas.

"Do you think you can get out of this position just because you don't want to? Do you think your subordinates will really support your method of electing the king by the people? Even if you don't want to now, they will push you to sit in this position. As for your method of electing the king by the people, it is simply nonsense! If you insist on doing that, you will only be making wedding clothes for others in the end!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the dragon throne and shouted angrily.

Compared to Li Wei's attempt to elect a king by the people and help others, he would rather give up his throne to this brat.

No matter what, Li Wei is still a virtuous person and he is really capable. It is better to let him sit in this position than to let others usurp it.

After hearing what he said, Li Wei's face couldn't help but become a little solemn.

He thought of the last emperor of later generations, the fat man who stole the fruit.

If he really withdrew, would any of his subordinates restore the throne and become emperor again like that guy did?

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but frowned deeply.

Thousands of years of feudal ideology are deeply rooted in China. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, some things have not been eradicated. The words he preached in Yangzhou alone could not change the inherent ideas of the people. Perhaps now in the hearts of the people of Yangzhou and his subordinates, he is just a more wise monarch.

Seeing Li Wei frowning and saying nothing, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said, "Go back and think about it carefully!"

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and turned to walk towards the back hall.

Li Wei was silent for a long time, then he stepped down from the imperial platform and walked out of the hall.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion next to the Meridian Gate, Chen Su and others gathered here, including Chen Shaofeng, Tao Sheng and others who were detained in the imperial city, who were also rescued.

"The palace is now under our control. We only need to wait for the current emperor to pass away, and then we can establish a new emperor and use him to control the princes. When the time is right, you can seize the throne and become emperor!"

"I think it's better to seize the throne directly. Our current weapons are easy to use, and the combat effectiveness of the new soldiers will not be too bad. We only need to buy some time to urgently expand the army, and then we can defeat the armies of King Jin and King Yan in one fell swoop."

"No, this is too risky. Even if we defeat the King of Jin and the King of Yan, there are still other princes in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. I think it is safer to hold the emperor hostage!"

Everyone was talking at once, and all they said were treasonous words. The guards on duty outside the door were terrified and did not dare to act rashly. After all, the people standing opposite them were traitors.

When Li Wei arrived here, he heard their open remarks of rebellion from afar, and Fan Zhong couldn't help but think of what Zhu Yuanzhang had just said.

Li Wei stood outside the door for a moment before walking in.

Seeing him come in, Chen Su and others hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Master."

"teacher."

Everyone greeted him, Li Wei nodded slightly, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, and then Chen Su and others followed suit. (End of this chapter)
