The old officials and young nobles in the court refuse to back down, with each side having its merits in their verbal disputes. In the prequel of this series, "Li Wei Takes Office 1," Li Wei transforms from a street punk into a renowned official. In this series, at the beginning, Yongzheng has passed away, and Qianlong ascends the throne. As the saying goes, "A new emperor means new ministers." At the start of his reign, Qianlong doesn't like Li Wei at all, especially disapproving of the punk vibe he carries. Being an official from the previous dynasty, it’s already admirable that Qianlong can give him some face. Li Wei, being clever, knows that Qianlong, having grown up under Prince Yong, is entirely different in character and style from Yongzheng, so he is determined from the beginning to resign and go home to farm. Young Qianlong, lacking experience, often faces setbacks; the more he wants to showcase his talent, the more he finds himself in awkward situations. Meanwhile, as Li Wei wishes to resign and return home, the more he tries to hide, the less he can. His shrewdness allows him to skillfully handle difficult tasks, saving face for Qianlong each time, leading to situations that others cannot climb up from, yet Li Wei can't seem to step down despite wanting to… Qianlong feels conflicted when dealing with Li Wei; he dislikes him but cannot do without him. Just when he is most annoyed with Li Wei, it is precisely Li Wei who accomplishes impressive feats. When Qianlong wants to promote Li Wei, he finds Li Wei stepping back, repeatedly submitting resignation documents, leaving Qianlong both angry and helpless. Li Wei, facing Qianlong, has no choice either, as their relationship is defined by the roles of emperor and minister, keeping things in check. In the face of Qianlong's flamboyant yet impractical actions and his arrogant demeanor, Li Wei often resorts to playful teasing, expertly navigating the situation in a way that leaves no room for criticism...
