Zhu Biao frowned, and said: "He once fought in Yunnan with the army, otherwise he would be given the title of marquis, and it would not be too much to be a marquis with his military merits." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head lightly and said: "We have planned for this for a long time, and we will seal it for him after the army returns to Beijing." But before that, I have to give him some other rewards, so let's give him a title as you said, I hope this kid can know the appreciation. ”

"Good Father."

Zhu Biao agreed softly.

The autumn wind is whining, and the dead leaves are drifting.

Li Wei finished dealing with the aftermath of the city's construction, and after repeated grinding, he finally left Yangzhou.

Tian Qing, Ji Gui and others led Yangzhou civil and military officials to send each other, and many Yangzhou people also came spontaneously.

Li Wei arrived for only half a year, but the changes in Yangzhou can be described as earth-shaking, most of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been swept away, the local tyrants are strong and strong with their tails between their legs, and the people are even more because of the Ding Salary and Li Wei who built the city to collect land at a high price, and live a life of abundant food and clothing, and the gratitude in my heart to him can be imagined.

In order to express this gratitude, the people also made Wanmin umbrellas, although Li Wei is not very interested in this kind of thing that can neither shelter the wind nor the rain, but he still solemnly accepted it.

"Lord Tian, after I leave, you have to be honest and official, don't learn from that Zhang Cheng."

Before leaving, Li Wei instructed Tian Qing, to be honest, he was not at ease with Tian Qing and these officials.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials should remember the teachings of the adults, deny themselves and serve the public, and govern this Yangzhou well according to the instructions of the adults."

Tian Qing said respectfully.

Li Wei nodded lightly, there is only this thing he can do, if this Tian Qing does something illegal in the future, then he can only wave the butcher knife and slaughter him like Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Okay, I'm leaving, don't send it!"

Li Wei waved his hand to everyone and turned to board the ship.

"Greetings, sir!"

Tian Qing, Ji Gui and others saluted again, and the generals and people of Wu Changming watched Li Wei board the ship reluctantly.

Accompanied by the guards, Li Wei boarded the ship and set sail, gradually disappearing from everyone's eyes.

On the warship, Li Wei looked back at the outline of Yangzhou New City, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in his heart, this new city was built under his auspices, and there were many similarities with the modern cities of later generations, if he could, he was very hopeful that he could live in this city.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang is still reluctant to let him leave the capital, and he has been urging again and again in the past few days, and he also misses the second daughter of "Wenwu" at home, so he set off to leave.

Chen Jing, Wang Jie and others got the news and spontaneously came to greet them, and Li Wei entered the Zhengyang Gate surrounded by the guards and this group of important ministers, and the momentum was huge, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Li Wei's return caused a small turmoil, which quickly subsided, but the secret turmoil in the court did not stop.

The next morning, the ministers made a report, and Li Wei also reported the affairs of Yangzhou New Town.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang already knew about it, this kind of government affairs still had to be listened to by the ministers.

"Your Majesty, Yangzhou New City has been completed, although the construction of the city cost 200,000 yuan, but the amount of money obtained from the sale of land in the city is much higher than this, not only to make up for the cost loss, but also to make a profit of more than 300,000 yuan, in the future, the city can be in accordance with this law, the court will no longer need to worry about the cost of building the city."

Li Weilang played loudly, and Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head with satisfaction.

After listening to Li Wei's recital, the ministers also whispered for a while, admiring his method.

Of course, not everyone praises it, and there are people in the imperial history who contradict it.

"Your Majesty, Li Wei's move is to damage the public and private interests, these money should have been obtained by the imperial court, but he relied on his power to take it for himself, please Your Majesty will punish him for the crime of abusing power for personal gain!"

Tang Duo came out of the class to play, he is a little similar to those people in the same way, but it is different, people are just and upright in distinguishing between right and wrong, he recognized Li Wei as a traitor, and persevered in impeachment.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning lightly when he heard his words, others didn't know about this, but he knew very well that when Li Wei discussed with him, he originally wanted the court to pay for it, but he was worried about the risk so he agreed to let him be transferred from the Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, he accounts for seventy percent of the chamber of commerce, and Li Wei and Shen Jing only account for a small part, and the difference between this money and that given to the imperial court is not very big.

In the face of Tang Duo's impeachment, Li Wei has not yet spoken, and someone has already defended him.

"Tang Yushi's words are wrong, Lord Li's new way of building a city is also the first attempt, the risk is naturally not small, not to let the court pay is also afraid of failure and damage to the government, now the new city has been built, the court has won the new city, the people have got the silver, it is beneficial to the people and the country, Lord Li has no fault!"

Chen Jing was the first to speak, and he was anxious to win the post of Shangshu, and he was the most active among the ministers of the "Li Party."

After Chen Jing finished speaking, Gao Xin and others also echoed, including Han Yike, who couldn't help but say a few words for Li Wei, after all, this matter is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, and the merits are obvious.

Zhao Ben was silent, Lan Yu and the others were all transferred out of the Jingshi, and the rest of the generals did not want to get involved in these things, Li Shanchang was even more an old god, and for a while, the direction of the court was completely biased towards Li Wei.

"You...... You traitors! ”

Tang Duo was so angry that his muscles were exposed, and he was heartbroken.

"Nonsense! We are impartial and straightforward, and we are not selfish. ”

"Yes, Li Dangzhi's words are false, Lord Tang can't slander the important ministers of the court in this court because of some hearsay!"

"It's ......"

Although Tang Duo was an official of the imperial history, he was invincible to everyone, and was reprimanded by Chen Jing and others so powerless that he was unable to refute.

"Okay, Li Aiqing has solved a big problem for the imperial court this time, and we have no faults, so we should be rewarded."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said, and then directly announced the reward for Li Wei: "Li Wei has made meritorious contributions to the construction of the city this time, and he has been awarded the title of Doctor Ronglu, and he has been given a jade crown suit." ”

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers looked at Li Wei with a hint of jealousy, especially the six other Shangshu.

Now the civil official is the second grade at the top, and Li Wei has a first-rank title, although he is equal to other Shangshu in his actual position, but his status is a cut higher.

Everyone else was envious, but Li Wei himself had a calm expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw him like this, and the secret path was really as he thought, this kid didn't understand the meaning of these titles at all! It was really in vain that he was blinded by his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, no, Li Wei has formed a party for personal gain, and appointed his cronies to exclude dissidents, there is already a trend of non-compatible, Your Majesty can no longer favor this traitor!"

Tang Duo exhorted hoarsely.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Tang Duo's words were really heart-wrenching, His Majesty had worked hard to stop Zhongshu Province before, and the abolition of the phase turmoil had just passed, so it was naturally impossible to tolerate the appearance of a person who was not the same, Tang Duo's words were tantamount to pushing Li Wei under His Majesty's knife!

Everyone looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, and sure enough, they saw that his face had also changed, and his eyes were staring at Tang Duo fiercely.

The ministers were silent for a while, and Chen Jing and the others did not dare to say much at this time.

Li Shanchang also looked at Tang Duo with interest, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Li Wei, who was in the center of the vortex, seemed to be out of the matter, he himself looked indifferent, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at him.

He can have a status at this time, it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was completely praised, from Lan Yu's imprisonment to Zhang Zongyi's later deposition, others thought that he was clever, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly manipulated him, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not classify him as Hu Weiyong.

"Now that the province of Zhongshu has stopped, where does the phase come from? You're talking nonsense! Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, the minister heard that when Li Wei returned to Beijing yesterday, the ministers greeted each other, which was very grand, isn't this not the same thing?"

Tang Duo argued.

When Chen Jinggaoxin and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be a little panicked in their hearts, in fact, it was nothing for them to greet Li Wei in private yesterday, but Li Wei brought so many guards, and the momentum of them getting together seemed a little too big, this matter depends on what Your Majesty means, if Your Majesty is suspicious, then they are just fine.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang's next move shows that Li Wei's favor is still there, and these are not things.

"Bastard! You don't distinguish between right and wrong and frame important officials in the court, what is your intention? Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily, and then didn't give Tang Duo a chance to say more, and said directly: "Come on, put Tang Duo in prison and interrogate him strictly!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is all for the sake of the country's social loyalty, Your Majesty is ......"

The guards entered the hall and took Tang Duo down, and Tang Duo was still shouting on the way out of the road.

After Tang Duo was dragged down, Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry, and his fierce gaze swept over the ministers.

He felt that this Tang Duo couldn't say such a thing, it should be someone secretly instigating!

Li Shanchang had already put on a correct posture at this time, and he did not panic at all, and the ministers all bowed their heads respectfully and stood up. (End of chapter)
