Chapter 17: The Traitor Li Wei

Under the gaze of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Wei slowly walked into the main hall and stood in the center.

He hasn't experienced any big scenes, and now that he is being stared at by so many people, he is inevitably a little nervous!

"Meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

Li Wei bowed with an unstandard handshake, he didn't know whether to kneel or not, anyway, he didn't want to kneel, let's do it first, if not, kneel again.

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked at this young man in coarse linen clothes, and frowned, Your Majesty has made an order, see the king and don't worship, just wave your hands and salute, but!

That being said, in the final analysis, it still depends on the status and status, and it doesn't matter if the bigwigs in the DPRK and China don't worship, but if the grade is relatively low, don't say that you see the emperor, and you have to kneel when you see the officials!

You, a classless commoner, don't bow down to the main hall, which is a bit disrespectful!

The ministers looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for him to get angry or even mad, but unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a fatherly smile on his face:

"Li Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, Aiqing gives us advice and solves problems, we are very happy to have Aiqing's help!"

Li Wei was stunned when he heard this, and thought about what advice he had offered to Zhu Yuanzhang, it seems that he only had to find a "secretary", right?

Since this is the case, it must be continued, as a modern person, modesty or anything does not exist, in front of the boss, it is too late to invite credit, and be humble? Do you still want your salary to rise? Do you want to get the bonus?

Thinking of this, Li Wei agreed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" ”

It's a real hammer! Abolishing Zhongshu Province is the bad idea of this dog!

The ministers glared angrily, and their eyes were about to erupt with fire!

Li Wei was uncomfortable being stared at by this group of old men, and he only felt inexplicable, he just came, as if he hadn't offended these people?

Li Wei looked around, only to see Wenchen glaring at him angrily, and the military generals looking like they were watching a good show, and then looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, only to see that Lao Zhu had a very good temper today, with a smile on his face.

Li Wei didn't think much about it, he just thought that he was a wife and gave birth to children, anyway, Lao Zhu had many wives in the harem, and he himself worked very hard, so it was normal for him to have children often.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned when he heard Li Wei's unyielding reply.

However, Li Wei cooperated so much, which saved him a lot of trouble, and he didn't need to read the lines prepared later, Li Wei himself had already jumped into the pit.

"Your Majesty, the minister looks at this person who is arrogant and rude, and he is definitely not the choice of a good minister, and I hope that Your Majesty will learn from it!"

The secretary of the ministry is still in the class.

After the abolition of Zhongshu Province, the status of the six ministries was improved, and the Ministry of Officials was the competent department in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials.

Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the civil officials moved one after another.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal! This person is reckless, not at all gentle and elegant as the scholars of my generation, but like a foreign barbarian who does not listen to the teachings, and Your Majesty must not be deceived by it! ”

The newly appointed Imperial History Zhongcheng came out of the class safely, their Imperial History Speaker was originally responsible for the position of finding ballast, scolding people is their own job, there is a chance to scold, and there is no opportunity to create an opportunity to scold!

These two bigwigs speak quite well, and they have to save face for the emperor, after all, it is not easy for them to mix in the current position, if they are unhappy by the emperor, it will be a big loss.

But the officials who followed were not so polite, they pointed to scolding people and leaving their names in history!

"Your Majesty, this person is a roe deer, he is not a good person at first glance, Your Majesty should not be gullible!"

"Your Majesty is fortunate that such a traitor is not the work of Ming Jun......"

Li Wei was inexplicable, he was scolded and dizzy, he only said less than two words after he came in, how could he become a traitor?

Some of these people scolded directly, some quoted scriptures, and those who knew Hu were also confused, and he didn't know the pit when he was in the pit.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, at the beginning, he was quite happy to see Li Wei being attacked by the ministers, this was the result he wanted, but the more these people scolded, the more energetic they became, and they also piggybacked him, openly and secretly scolding him for being unconscious.

"Shut up! You bastards, you dare to slander me......" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, and in his anger, he didn't forget to piggyback on Li Wei: "And my Li Aiqing!" Come on, pull these bastards out of our way, and hit the twenty boards! ”

At this time, the court staff is still very powerful, and it is easy to beat people to death if they hit too much.

Those scolding officials who were happy to speak, hearing this, not only did not be afraid, but their eyes lit up, for them, they were beaten up, this is a good thing to leave in history, compared to leaving a name for the ages, what are you going to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang's move not only failed to shut them up, but made them even more cheerful!

"Your Majesty, pampering the traitor is the act of the faint king, Your Majesty can't do this......"

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache and was so angry that he wanted to kill people, but he couldn't really kill them, after all, these people were set up by him, intending to rule big officials with small officials, and when he set them up, he warned these people to speak out and dare to admonish, and now that people are acting according to orders, he is not good because of this.

It's not that he hasn't cut the officials, but he is looking for other crimes, or he is transferred from the Yushitai first and then looking for a crime.

There is no way now, Zhu Yuanzhang can only wave his hand and urge the guards to pull them away quickly!

As the men were pulled outside, the shouts turned into screams, and the hall finally fell silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Li Aiqing is talented, let's decide to make Li Wei the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers were shocked!

The squire is the third grade, and he is the real boss level of the imperial court, which is a height that many civil officials cannot reach in their lifetime, Li Wei first entered the court, and he has to give such a high level when he comes up, this is just nonsense!

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"

Xue Xiang, who had just been recalled from the place and was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't sit still, he was a pragmatic person, and he didn't want to stir up the power struggle with these bullshit, but the Ministry of Industry is a very professional department, so let a "wizard" who came from nowhere come up to serve as a waiter, is that a troublemaker? Absolutely not!

Li ...... Although Master Li is talented, after all, he has just entered the court and still lacks experience, so it may not be appropriate to directly appoint him as a squire! ”

Xue Xiang spoke quite tactfully, and did not directly say not to let him come to the Ministry of Industry to make trouble.

Zhu Yuanzhang furrowed his eyebrows and asked unhappily: "Then you said that any position for him is suitable?" ”

"Uh, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is full, why don't you consider other ministries?"

Xue Xiang didn't want Li Wei at all, and politely refused.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and did not force it, but swept his gaze to the other Shangshu, and all the Shangshu lowered their heads to dodge, obviously not wanting it.

"You don't want to, that's okay, then let's keep it for ourselves, and make Li Wei a cabinet scholar, head Wenyuan Pavilion, and counselor for consultation. The grade is equivalent to that of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, as the so-called seeking to be in the middle, he was originally for this purpose, and the squire was just a false shot.

The ministers saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had taken a step back, although they were still very dissatisfied with Li Wei, a traitorous official, who had been named a fifth-grade official, but they didn't dare to dispute it anymore.

Li Wei listened to this group of old men chattering a lot, and he didn't understand what it was, for a historical novice like him who even had to read a few grades, the squire was so-so, and the other official positions were all tricks, and he didn't understand what these old men had to object to.

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the cabinet in the end that Li Wei was overjoyed, as far as he knew from TV, the cabinet seemed to be the most powerful department! In later generations, this department was also reserved in many countries, and although the functions and powers changed, the name was still the same.

Joining the cabinet directly, isn't that equivalent to a step to the sky?

Li Wei was overjoyed, it doesn't matter how high or low the position is, the main thing is that he hopes that the salary can be higher!
