The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 124 Don't use the North-South Grand Canal if you have the guts, Master Ye advises Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Master Ye is still planning to have fireworks?"

"This is too extravagant, and you can only see it on the Lantern Festival night in Yingtian!"

"Come on, let's go out to watch the fireworks!"

When Wu Yong's back disappeared from everyone's eyes, everyone immediately became excited.

You must know that in this era when gunpowder is prohibited among the people, enjoying fireworks is something that the rich cannot do. It must be during the Chinese New Year, when the government lights up fireworks at the prescribed time and at the prescribed place.

Even in Yingtian Mansion, fireworks have been set off seven times in the past six years, except for the six Lantern Festival nights, which is the night when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country!

For Zhu Yuanzhang and others from Yingtian Mansion, this must be extravagant and rare, and something that people look forward to.

Of course, these girls are the happiest, even the two servant girls beside Ye Qing are no exception!

And this is a hall full of laughter, and there are only two people who are not so happy, and it can be said that their laughter is a bit unreal.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang laughed unrealistically was because he felt that although the county magistrate's setting off fireworks was not illegal, it was indeed a waste.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Empress Ma and said: "With this gunpowder money, it is better to build two more shells."

Empress Ma just glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and there seemed to be complaints in her eyes: "He made too many cannonballs, can you sleep?"

"Compared to his things, this isn't too extravagant. It's already reached this point. Let's enjoy the fireworks that Mr. Ye prepared for us!"

"If there is anything, we will talk about it after we go back!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled a little more realistically.

Just after they got up, Empress Ma also thanked Ye Qing for the fireworks prepared for them.

From her point of view, Ye Qing is a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and he only wants to control the initiative of the business, so he is superior when they meet, and now he is not a friend anymore?

The key is to prepare fireworks for them to add to the fun. Although it is extravagant and wasteful, it is indeed intentional.

As long as there are no accidents, it shouldn't be a problem for Ye Qing to be promoted to the court!

When he, Ye Qing, enters the Ying Tian Mansion, the two of them will find ways to make him, Ye Qing, a thrifty person!
Thinking of this, Empress Ma took Zhu Yuanzhang to watch the fireworks happily.

And at this moment,
At the previous banquet in the Tang Palace, only Ye Qing and his two maids were left, and the maids' eyes almost followed.

"That's all you want to see?"

The two maids were also blunt, and kept nodding to express their desire to see it.

Ye Qing just smiled helplessly: "Then go and see!"

The sentence 'I'll clean up old Wu after reading this' was on the verge of his mouth, but he swallowed it alive.

Again, it would be a waste for Wu to follow him back to modern times.

If Wu Yong is allowed to go back to modern times with him, he will start a big company, and then let Wu Yong become a public relations manager, absolutely everything can be done.

Simply thoughtful!

But he really didn't want Wu Yong to be so thoughtful at this time, it was just a disservice!

But he really can't blame Wu Yong explicitly, after all, he himself said the words 'playing hard to get', he is responsible for manipulating Wu Yong and capturing him, logically speaking, there is no problem at all.

by candlelight,

The two maids took Ye Qing's hand with the slender hands preserved by the fresh milk, and pulled it outside.

At this moment, on the square outside the hall, everyone looked up at the starry night sky.

The reason why it is said that it was originally full of stars is because this large-scale fireworks show that lights up half of the sky has already made people lose their minds to appreciate the stars. It can also be said that compared with this beautiful fireworks, the stars in the sky are no longer bright.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, his young guards are the happiest at the moment.

Not only are they hugging Xianmei on the left and Fengmei on the right, but they also enjoy the different styles and timbres of Yingyanyanyu, so that they completely forget the shame of carrying away the pig cage!
Looking at this scene, he also thought it through thoroughly, and he will talk about everything later.

Setting off fireworks is already a waste, if he fails the beautiful fireworks, it will be a crime of waste!
Because of this, he also put his arms around the waist of the 41-year-old man beside him!
At the same time, he still didn't forget to give Ye Qing a little trouble: "Master Ye, I heard that you are a serious master."

"Presumably, Mr. Ye is also good at poetry, why don't you compose a poem impromptu?"

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal, everyone looked forward to it again.

Ye Qing also lived up to the negative expectations of the former master Guo, and immediately recited a poem for him: "The Falun turns in the sky, the sound of Brahma comes from the sky, the tree lights shine a thousand times, and the flames bloom in seven branches."

"The shadow of the moon is suspicious of the flowing water, the spring breeze contains the plum blossoms at night, the golden land is moved, and the glazed platform is born!"

It is really the same as elementary school students reciting poems. Although it is fluent, it is only for completing the task. It can be said that there is no emotional color in the middle of the poem, and you can do as much as you want.

After hearing this, Mao Xiang nodded and said, "It really fits the occasion, but why is it so familiar?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Mao Xiang, and said, "Although you are a general, you should read more books", but he couldn't say it when he reached his mouth.

Where is this impromptu poem by him!

This is clearly the poem I recited, and it is also the "Yuanxi builds a lantern in the thoroughfare and rises to the south tower at night" written by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly again: "Master Ye, it has only been six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and you are reciting Sui Yang's poems in front of us. If we go back and tell His Majesty, you will lose your head!"

"Just pretend we didn't hear you this time, and improvise another song!"

Ye Qing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's brainless fan Master Guo who had become serious, he was really satisfied, because this effect was what he wanted.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing just put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said proudly: "Go and tell him!"

"If you tell him that he is going to kill me just because of this, I have nothing to say, and will just curse at the guillotine as 'a fool who is nothing'."

"Perhaps at that time, I can still have some inspiration and compose an impromptu 'Poem of Faint King' for him!"

In Empress Ma's eyes, there was a vivid picture of a dragon and a tiger fighting for hegemony again, and her heart once again rose to her throat.

She really didn't understand how they were beaten back to their original form after finally letting the two of them show some signs of harmonious coexistence.

But he can't persuade her Shigehachi at this time, because Ye Qing is going too far.

If she didn't mention her ugly Yinmao, Zhu Chongba of her family would really become the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Master Ye, please enlighten me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his back molars again and said stiffly.

And what Ye Qing was waiting for was his words!
In fact, he chose to recite this poem at this time for only two purposes.

The pure purpose is that he has lived in ancient times for hundreds of years, and he used to fool the current king and beauties with the poems of later generations for the sake of pretense.

In the past, he also felt that he was full of power because others were shocked by this, and he was even complacent.

But now that I think about it, I just think it was a very boring behavior, which is the same reason that I liked it very much when I was a child and felt stupid when I grew up.

This man!
It's better to be real!

As for the non-simple purpose, it is too simple, that is, to work hard to go home!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked directly at Master Guo in front of him and said: "Alright, I will teach you one more time."

"I am a very real person. I can say that I was lucky to be admitted to Juren, because I am the bottom No.1 among Juren. If the examiner was caught in bed by his wife the night before, and I was in a bad mood, I would not be able to pass the exam." gone."

"So, I really don't know how to write poetry."

"That's why I recited such a poem that fits the situation!"

"As for your majesty wanting to kill me because of this poem, I'm going to call him a fool, that's too simple."

"He just thinks that the Ming Dynasty has only been established for six years, and that I, as a court official who eats the king's salary, recite the poems of the subjugated king, and I am doing him bad luck!"

"If he denies this poem because one person is the king of subjugation, it will also violate the principle of separating people from affairs and discussing things as they stand!"

"Yang Guang is indeed the king of subjugation, but his poem is indeed appropriate to the situation!"

"And the North-South Grand Canal he dredged and dug through is indeed a great achievement!"

"If you deny everything about him because he is the king of subjugation, then you can go back and tell His Majesty that Daming's merchant ships should not go through the North-South Grand Canal, and Daming's military supplies and food should not go through the North-South Grand Canal."

Speaking of this, Ye Qing gave Zhu Yuanzhang's brainless fan Master Guo who could sue him at any time in front of him, and said with a provocative look: "Because, I really touched his bad luck!"

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to refute Ye Qing, but he couldn't think of words to refute.

Seeing this scene, Empress Ma immediately pulled Zhu Yuanzhang aside.

Empress Ma whispered: "Your Majesty, what Master Ye said is not rough, it makes sense!"

"Moreover, he is indeed a very real person, just because he generously admits that he is the last one in Juren, which is enough to prove it."

Zhu Yuanzhang just gritted his teeth and said, "It's very true and very reasonable, but his eloquence is simply worse than that of Wei Zheng!"

"Right now we can just say that those who don't know are not guilty, but if we don't change our eloquence after entering the court, he will die in our hands sooner or later."

Empress Ma just smiled softly, and then stopped talking, because not only could she not persuade her, she should not persuade her either.

What her Shigehachi said is also very reasonable!
If you still do this when you enter the court, you will trample on the emperor's face, which is a crime no matter right or wrong!
She just looked at Ye Qing from the corner of her eye, her eyes full of anticipation, hoping that he would get rid of this 'good eloquence' problem!
While Ye Qing was admiring the fireworks, he looked at the pair of part-time imperial envoys from the corner of his eye.

He could clearly see that his wife was persuading him, but the master was clearly depressed. To him, this was simply great news!
Because of this, he finally had the mood to appreciate the fireworks.

But at this very moment,

Suddenly there was a series of cannon fires, the movement was not much different from the cluster rockets in the previous life! .
