The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 133 The Scary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is back, Mr. Ye hates Hu Weiyong, what a fart!

"Wei Guogong, what do you think His Majesty intends to do?"

"I also ask Wei Guogong to let me know how much I have a steelyard in my heart, otherwise I have no idea!"

Kong Kebiao, the grand scholar of the Hanlin Academy who has always regarded himself as a great Confucian, and the fifth grandson of Confucius, faced Xu Da directly with an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

Only Lu Ben, who was changed from Taichang Temple Minister to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and who had just married his daughter to Zhu Biao as a side concubine, was still there as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Of course, it was none of his business!

Ye Qing's admission to Juren and the appointment of county magistrate were all in the third year of Hongwu. At that time, he was just a minister of Taichang Temple.

The reason why he became Minister of the Ministry of Officials was also because he was promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang after he gave his daughter to Zhu Biao as a side concubine.

But even though it's none of his business, he is already in this position, so he still has to listen carefully to Wei Guogong's analysis and advice.

He, Lu Ben, was not the roundworm in Zhu Yuanzhang's stomach, but he still understood Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a strong sense of family affection, so he can be reused because of his in-laws, but he can definitely abandon personal interests because of public affairs.

After all, Lu Ben is not Zhu Yuanzhang's son. If he is not careful, he, a minister of his own family, still has a chance to be guillotined!

Thinking of this, Lu Ben also raised his head and looked at Xu Da who was standing under the door plaque of Fengtian Hall.

In the eyes of everyone, there are three ministers standing under the door plaque of Fengtian Palace!

The first minister from the left, dressed in a red robe, looks much nicer than Zhu Yuanzhang, but the awe-inspiring aura is not much weaker.

Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence comes from his dragon robe and the national seal in his palm, and his confidence comes from his brotherhood with Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as his extraordinary achievements in expulsing the Northern Yuan from the south.

Of course, he never takes credit for himself, nor does he get carried away just because he is Zhu Yuanzhang's brother since he was a child.

Even if he has already put on the red official robe of the lion, which symbolizes a general of the first rank, and has held the seal of the Great Ming Commander for a long time, he still abides by his duty as a monarch and minister!
Xu Da looked at Kong Kebiao, just smiled and said: "Your Majesty does not come to the front hall, but just asks His Majesty to come down to see him, that is his family business."

"Since it's His Majesty's family business, it's not something I should talk about."

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Your Majesty summoned them but not us. It is His Majesty's intention, and it is not something we should talk about."

"As ministers and workers, you can see the driver according to the order, and do things according to the order. We will return to the official office and perform our duties!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Da lifted his clothes and strode forward, and all the officials gave way wherever he passed.

In the eyes of civil and military officials, Xu Da's remarks are very reasonable and educational, but they are definitely stage talk and nonsense.

They even knew that based on Xu Da's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he didn't guess all the intentions, he guessed [-]% of them, but he just didn't say it on purpose.

But even if he knew that he didn't say anything on purpose, there was nothing he could do about it!

Because he is the Taifu of the current dynasty, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu You, and the Duke of Wei who joined the army and served as the Prince Shaofu!

Seeing that they could not know anything from Xu Da, the officials looked at Tang He, Marquis of Zhongshan. Tang He just said that Wei Guogong was right, and then followed Xu Da.

Immediately afterwards, they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, but Li Wenzhong's rhetoric was similar to Xu Da's.

As soon as Li Wenzhong finished speaking, he immediately followed Xu Da!

Not only Li Wenzhong, even that group of generals also left their team!
Those who are still standing here are the group of people headed by Xiangquan and dominated by Huaixi literati.

This group of people ostensibly followed Hu Weiyong, but in fact even Hu Weiyong himself was still secretly following Li Shanchang, who had retired back to his hometown after four years in Hongwu.

There is no other way, these people can only look at Hu Weiyong eagerly!

Kong Kebiao cupped his hands to Hu Weiyong and said, "Mr. Hu, what should I do?"

Hu Weiyong just faced everyone, imitated Xu Da's tone of serious education, and then told everyone what to do.

But just after he left Fengtian Temple, he privately asked Kong Kebiao and Lu Ben to be called to the office of Zhongshu Provincial Office.

"The two of you hurry up and act according to His Majesty's orders, so that those two people don't panic and play by ear. After you know the situation, come to me again!"

Soon, Kong Kebiao and Lu Ben went to find someone.

Again, it is very easy to find those two officials, all you need to do is investigate the archived files.

After the two left,

Hu Weiyong tapped his fingers on the table, thinking quickly.

"Ye Qing!"

"Ye Qing, magistrate of Yanmen County?"

"I should have thought about it long ago. Either Your Majesty and Your Majesty went out for a walk, or they ran to Yanmen County because of your self-evaluation memorial that seemed to be courting death!"

In fact, Hu Weiyong is both unfamiliar and familiar with Ye Qing.

The reason why he is unfamiliar is because he only hears his name but does not see his person!
The reason why they are familiar is because Ye Qing is one of the rare people who dare to refuse the olive branch he throws out!

Just like Ye Qing's saying that "the higher the position, the lower the weight", it is precisely because his reply to Hu Weiyong only had the words "You are a fart", that Hu Weiyong has such a deep memory of Ye Qing!

As early as a year ago, Hu Weiyong heard that Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County, had developed Yanmen County, and it was already considered a fertile land.

The battleground for military strategists has become fertile land, and there are still more than 2 troops stationed. Such a site must be the one he must win.

So, he wrote a polite and sincere secret letter to Ye Qing, from the literal meaning, it was full of concern and earnest instruction from the veteran Shangguan to the newcomer's subordinates.

Even reminding him Ye Qing that His Majesty the Emperor is moody and that only by relying on him can he have a stable official career, it can be said to be very cryptic, but a wise person can tell at a glance that he wants Ye Qing to be Hu Weiyong's protégé.

As long as Ye Qing becomes Hu Weiyong's disciple, then this piece of fertile land will become the Huaixi noble group's again, and it will also become the capital of the power to fight against the imperial power.

But he never expected that this Ye Qing would be so bold, and directly replied with the words 'you're a fart'!

But even so, he didn't dare to show these four words to anyone, he could only hold back his anger and burn Ye Qing's reply letter directly.

After all, Ye Qing is an official of the imperial court, if he is pushed into a hurry and directly handed over Hu Weiyong's "Letter of Seeking Virtue" to Zhu Yuanzhang, his head will also have to move.

There is no other way but to find a chance to kill Ye Qing!
In this way, the time has passed in the sixth year of Hongwu, and it is also time for the local officials to pass the examination!

Because he remembered Ye Qing's 'ignorance of good and evil', he also paid close attention to Ye Qing's self-evaluation memorial.

Originally, I wanted to see if there was a chance to punish him, but I never thought that he would directly punish himself to death, and there was no need for him, Hu Weiyong, to take action.

Hu Weiyong didn't think too much, and sent the memorial to the imperial study room intact!

He also thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so angry that he would kill Ye Qing. After Ye Qing was killed, he would send his own people to grab the territory. That would be the best!

Judging from the news he got, it was indeed the case.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Mao Xiang to hurry up and kill Ye Qing, and then took Empress Ma to observe the people's sentiments.

Because of this, he was completely relieved, and he still thought that the day Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace would be the time when he would present the new candidate for the magistrate of Yanmen County.

But never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang went directly to Yanmen County!

But now what confuses him the most is Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction after returning from Yanmen County!
"This Zhu Chongba, what exactly do you want?"

"If you are happy, it proves that you are very satisfied with this person, and I have to find other ways to kill him!"

"If you are angry, then I can use your knife to kill him!"

"But what do you mean by your displeased expression?"

"."

Hu Weiyong frowned when he thought of this.

He really couldn't figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, so he had to wait until the two officials who promoted Ye Qing came back.

At this very moment,
On the way to the camp at Xuanwu Lake, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Tang He, who had changed into red military robes, were riding forward.

Li Wenzhong looked at Xu Da and said, "General, your majesty will meet the officials who promoted the county magistrate when he comes back. Why?"

"Of course, the last general is just curious!"

Tang He also looked at Xu Da and said, "I'm curious too."

After Xu Dale stopped fighting, he said thoughtfully: "Everyone thinks I know the inside story, but they don't know that I am as curious as everyone."

"Although I don't know why, I can be sure that Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County, is a capable person!"

"Whether it's good or bad, he can make His Majesty miss you so much. He is a person with ability, but I don't know whether it is a good ability or a bad ability."

"Well, these things are not something we should consider."

"You two generals, I will go to the Xuanwu Lake Camp for training. We lost to Wang Baobao last year. We must not lose again this time!"

"Yes, General!"

Li Wenzhong and Tang He clasped their fists at the same time, and then followed Xu Da and hurried to the Xuanwu Lake Camp.

At this very moment,
Kong Kebiao found the examiner who reviewed Ye Qing's test papers, and Lu Ben also found the official who appointed Ye Qing to be the magistrate of Yanmen County.

After a while, two intellectuals who could be called great Confucians met at the door of the imperial study.

In the eyes of the examiners of the Imperial Academy, the officials of the official department are as timid as mice, with cold sweat on their foreheads!

In the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the examiners of the Hanlin Academy also trembled, like a sharp sword hanging from their heads!
"Master Meng first please."

"My lord Wang will invite you first."

In this way, after the two had been polite outside the imperial study for a long time, the eunuch said directly: "My lords, please come together!"

There was no other way, the two of them crossed the threshold of the imperial study room at the same time, and then took a peek at the back of the golden dragon with its back to them and hands on hips!

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around.

In the eyes of the two of them, there was a face with burning eyes, angry but not angry, and extremely gloomy.

Zhu Yuanzhang just twitched his eyes slightly, and the two of them immediately knelt because their legs were weak!
