Not long after the guards left, the lively and lovely little princess came to the Qianqing Palace under the pretext of sending refreshments.

In the past few days, she has not been able to see Li Wei several times, and she is a little depressed.

"See my father, my son has brought you refreshments for my mother!"

"Hmm."

The little princess saluted obediently and offered the refreshments to her dear father.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished getting angry, and he was depressed, and he was unmoved by her courteous behavior, but he didn't raise his head and snorted.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and found that his little daughter hadn't left yet, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?" ”

I saw that the little princess hesitated, and held back for a long time before saying, "Father, why haven't I seen that Li Wei in the past few days?" Where did he go? ”

Hearing Li Wei's name, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly pulled down again, and he said angrily: "It's dead!" ”

The little princess's face froze, and after being stunned for a moment, her little face turned pale:

"Dead? Li Wei is dead? ”

“……”

"Wow...... Li Wei is dead......"

Muttered twice that Li Wei was dead, and the little princess suddenly burst into tears!

"You...... What are you crying about? Don't cry! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback and hurriedly shouted.

"But Li Wei is dead, woo woo woo ......"

"What does it matter to you whether that dog dies or not?"

"But...... But...... Woohoo......"

The little princess didn't say a reason for a long time, anyway, she was very sad and cried.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and persuaded with anger: "Okay, okay, doesn't he just know how to talk about books, let's find a few storytellers another day, so that you can listen enough." ”

"But Li Wei is dead, woo woo......"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also speechless, he had to listen to that dog thing, right?

"Okay, don't cry, hurry back to the harem, dignified princess, what kind of body is crying here. Another day, we'll find you a few more storytellers and singers, and keep you having fun! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone softened, and he got up and came to the little princess to comfort him.

This little princess is his fourth daughter, and it is also the youngest daughter of him and Queen Ma, since giving birth to this little daughter, he and Queen Ma have no other children, so he also loves this little daughter very much, otherwise he would not acquiesce to her running to this Qianqing Palace at every turn.

After coaxing for a while, the little princess sobbed and returned to the harem accompanied by the palace maid, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned tightly, and added another charge to Li Wei in his heart.

……

After Li Wei arrived home, he simply ate something, cleaned up and fell asleep, after all, he had to go to the early dynasty tomorrow, and the time of the early dynasty of the dog emperor was set so early, it was simply inappropriate.

Not long after Li Wei lay down, several pro-army guards rushed over, and at this time, two black-clothed people came out of nowhere on the wall of Li Wei's house and talked to these guards.

Then the two black-clothed men took off their night clothes, turned into pro-army guards, and came to the door of Li Wei's house and kicked the door open.

Li Wei, who had just laid down not long ago, was rushed in by these people and pulled up from the bed.

Li Weiwei was shocked: "Who are you?" What are you going to do? ”

At this time, Xiaoqing was also alarmed, and when she came to see these officers and soldiers with a lamp, she screamed in fright and dropped the oil lamp on the ground, but fortunately there was no combustible material on the ground.

Li Wei saw the person clearly through this light:

"Song Zhong? How did you come to me? ”

"Uh...... Ahem, Lord Li, Your Majesty has a decree to punish you with thirty rods! ”

Song Zhong coughed embarrassedly, he was the one who was lying on the wall in black clothes just now, but Li Wei didn't know.

"What? Why? ”

"I don't know this subordinate either."

“……”

Without waiting for Li Wei to continue asking, Song Zhong beckoned a few people to do it, and Li Wei was beaten severely when he was pressed to the ground.

In a trance, he felt as if he was back in the small dark room of the Qianqing Palace.

After the fight, Song Zhong and the others left neatly, they should go back to resume their lives, and those who should continue to lie on the wall continue to lie on the wall.

Li Wei stood up with his buttocks covered by Xiaoqing's support: "Damn, Lao Tzu is out of the palace and still can't escape the beating of the Dog Emperor!" ”

Xiaoqing's face changed, and he persuaded in a low voice: "Master be cautious!" ”

Li Wei pursed his lips, and his heart was not unscolded, Lao Tzu had even singled out with him.

But I won't brag about it, so as not to have another beating.

"You don't have to call me tomorrow, I'm going to skip work!"

Li Wei covered his buttocks and lay down on his side and instructed Xiaoqing.

"Huh? That's not good, sir. ”

Li Wei waved his hand and did not speak again.

Today is a sleepless night, Li Wei can't sleep because of the pain, Zhu Yuanzhang is angry, and there is another person, that is Xue Xiang.

Speaking of which, Xue Xiang is also a good official, when he built the Fengyang Palace, Li Shanchang slandered the craftsmen and cursed Zhu Yuanzhang with the method of disgusting the town, and it was he who risked his life to persuade him to save thousands of craftsmen. And he interceded for the craftsmen more than once, and many craftsmen were blessed by his grace.

After he got Li Wei's papyrus, he was shocked, and he took it back and began to make a budget in this way overnight, and he was very surprised by the budget he made.

After his careful accounting according to the table model, the original 500,000 taels were enough to save nearly 100,000 taels, and the various details were clear, with this, it was not so easy for the officials below to embezzle, and all the links should be spent on how much they could find out!

"Great, with this method, not only can a lot of silver taels be saved for the imperial court in the future construction affairs, but the construction will also be faster and more orderly! This Master Li is really a great talent! ”

Xue Xiang checked the budget he made, and said with joy, thinking that he had rejected such a great talent the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but feel regretful:

"Your Majesty is still discerning, so talented, why am I turned away? No, try to get someone back with Your Majesty tomorrow! ”

Li Wei didn't know that his small form made this Ministry of Industry Shangshu impressed, if he knew, he wouldn't teach, he would be rotten!

……

The next morning, Li Wei really skipped work, no matter how Xiaoqing shouted at him, he just couldn't get up.

In the court, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and looked condescendingly, habitually glanced at the position where Li Wei was standing, and suddenly found that it was empty, and there was no Li Wei at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang blinked, confirming that Li Wei really didn't come.

"This kid actually skipped work? Is it that we can't get up because we beat hard, or because we beat lightly, causing him to become more and more bold? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself in his heart.

The ministers shouted, after the salute was completed, Li Wei's matter could only be put aside for the time being, and he would settle accounts with him after going down to the court.

The ministers reported one by one, of course, the big guy was in front, and Xue Xiang, as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, it didn't take long for him to be his turn.

"Your Majesty, according to the instructions of the Li Cabinet Department, the minister has completed the budget for the construction of sea ships, please take a look at it."

Xue Xiang presented the budget he had made with both hands and said respectfully.
