Chapter 286: King Guangling
Li Wei took out this holy decree and slowly opened it.
At the beginning, as usual, what was Fengtian carrying the emperor, and then Zhu Yuanzhang's boasting, and in the middle he mentioned "Counselor Li Wei" or something.
Li Wei quickly swept the useless nonsense in front of him, and stared at the end, and the three words "King Guangling" came into view, which immediately surprised him.
Is this Zhu Yuanzhang really willing to give him the title of king?
"See, let's talk and say that you will be crowned king, then it will be yours sooner or later." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his surprised expression and said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Wei's face was full of surprise, and he sincerely thanked him, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so generous.
But then he was a little puzzled: "But what does this have to do with you letting me go to Yangzhou?" ”
He remembered that before Zhu Yuanzhang went to get the holy decree just now, he mentioned Yangzhou.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his question, he immediately glared and reprimanded angrily: "Guangling is the name of Yangzhou!" We told you to study hard, but you just won't listen, bastard! ”
"Well, that's what it looks like!"
Li Wei scratched his head a little embarrassed.
The Ming Dynasty's gift is also very particular, born to be sealed, death to be gifted, the prince with one word, the county king on two words, the so-called word side by side king, is from here.
And the king's name is also the name of the vassal states in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as well as some place names, including most of the princes, are also sealed by place names, except for a few special circumstances, such as Li Wei's previous Shenji Bo, which belongs to the scorpion poison.
Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the title of King Guangling, if he was born, then Yangzhou would be his fief, if he was posthumously sealed, then he would also have to make a contribution in Yangzhou, so as to be convincing.
Li Wei happily read these holy decrees that he didn't understand from beginning to end, but after he searched for a while, he didn't find much food, and he was suddenly a little puzzled.
He remembered that the prince's food could start with ten thousand stones! That's the point!
"Your Majesty, why didn't I see Shilu?" Li Wei asked if he didn't understand.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood that this kid didn't understand the gift word in front of King Guangling at all.
He didn't bother to explain to this kid, so he directly snatched the holy decree back: "You still want to ask us for money?" It's good if we don't ask you! ”
Li Wei was shocked when he saw that the holy decree was taken away, and hurriedly said: "If you don't want it, don't want it, Your Majesty, you can't take back this holy decree!" ”
"Hmph, I can't give it to you yet." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly.
"When?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up the holy decree in a good time, put it back in the brocade box, and said lightly: "When you make some achievements, we will give it to you to serve the public!" ”
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, good guy, it turns out that this is to take out the cake for me to smell?
In his reluctant gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang put away this holy decree again, and then said: "But although this can't be given to you in advance, we can reward you with some treatment first, for example, give you a battalion of guards." ”
"A battalion of guards?"
"Yes, you recruit people yourself, you pay the money yourself, and we will allow you the number of soldiers of the first guard." Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head lightly.
When Li Wei heard this, he immediately became alert, he hadn't forgotten what Xue Xiang said when he left.
He was already very bad in the Commander Shenji Battalion, and now with a battalion of private guards, is it okay?
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary!"
"You don't want it?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him very unexpectedly.
"The main thing is that there is no money to support." Li Wei excused.
"Fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately reprimanded.
Although he didn't pay attention to the situation of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce every day, he also knew that the Chamber of Commerce and the bank would definitely make a lot of money today, even if Li Wei only took 20%, it would be hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it would be easy to raise a guard.
"It's decided, when will you recruit all the people, and when will we let you go to Yangzhou."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a final word, if he didn't arrange a bodyguard for this kid, he really didn't feel at ease to let him go.
Li Wei frowned and was silent when he heard this, military power is a good thing, he wants it and doesn't want it.
If he wants to go to sea in the future, it is inevitable to lead troops, otherwise he can't even guarantee his own safety, and then going out is not going to die.
But military power is very sensitive, and now Zhu Yuanzhang trusts him and gives him a guard and horse, so what if he doesn't trust him in the future? These soldiers and horses will become his talismans!
After being silent for a long time, Li Wei finally agreed first.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang wants to give it, he can't push it off, so he can only recruit fewer people first, so as not to cause suspicion.
After Li Wei agreed, he gave up his hand and retired, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him and said, "The prince has something to ask you for help, you go to him before you leave." ”
Li Wei didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed, anyway, Zhu Biao is in Wenhua Palace, and it is not far away.
After coming out of Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Wei turned a corner and went to find Zhu Biao.
In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Biao was reviewing the book at this time.
Since Queen Ma fell seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over many government affairs to him, and basically he had to review all the books first, and then hand them over to Zhu Yuanzhang Yuyu.
After all these days, he realized how hard his father had worked before.
After Li Wei arrived, he bowed, Zhu Biao was too busy to raise his head, and waved his hand casually to let him find a place to sit.
Li Wei was not polite, and found a chair to sit down.
"What are you looking for me?"
Zhu Biao lowered his head and asked out loud while reading the book.
Li Wei was surprised: "Didn't you find me something?" ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Biao raised his head in surprise and looked at him with some doubts.
"Your Majesty said that you have something to ask me for help, let me come and have a look." Li Wei explained.
When Zhu Biao heard this, his eyes were suddenly stunned, since his father asked Li Wei to come to him, it must have a deep meaning, but what could he ask Li Wei to 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 want your help with." Zhu Biao nodded.
Li Wei looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”
"Hehe, that's the case, wasn't it because of your business before, the generals of Yangzhou and the officials of the Yangtze River Patrol and Thousand Households were arrested, and now they have basically been reviewed, many of them don't know about it, and they have nothing to do with it, but my father insisted on executing all these generals, I want you to help come forward to ask for a favor for them."
Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Li Wei was puzzled: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, wouldn't it be better for you to help them intercede, why do you want me to come forward?" ”
Zhu Biao smiled and was silent for a moment.
This matter was originally for him to come forward to intercede, and the purpose was nothing more than to be like before, his father was a tyrant, he was a good person, and he was familiar with this matter.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang has brought Li Wei over, the purpose is to let him give this opportunity to Li Wei, Li Wei is about to go to Yangzhou, with this favor, his safety is more guaranteed.
"It's like this, it's like this......"
Zhu Biao told Li Wei about the matter euphemistically, and Li Wei was suddenly stunned.
"No! I'm not going to do that! Li Weizheng verbally refused.
Just kidding, he's always been honest with people, how could he do such a thing?
Zhu Biao glanced at him and said lightly: "That's okay, anyway, I told you about the matter, tomorrow morning, the emperor will issue an order to kill these people, you can watch it." (End of chapter)
