The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 139 Zhu Yuanzhang was beaten for debts, Empress Ma helped Lord Ye earn money to avoid death!

Outside the Royal Study Room,

After the permanent eunuch closed the door from the outside, he just waved and took away all the eunuchs and maids who were accompanying him.

Mao Xiang in the imperial study room began to report to Zhu Yuanzhang what he saw after making sure that there was no one outside the window.

Hu Weiyong's letter had nothing to say, it was just reporting everything he knew to Li Shanchang.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the original copy of the self-evaluation memorial written by Ye Qing to Zhu Yuanzhang, which was written by himself as a self-report letter, is attached.

Only Li Shanchang's reply, and what Li Shanchang said after Hu Weiyong's messenger left, looking in the direction of Yanmen County, and his expression changes after he said those words, Mao Xiang reported in an almost scene-restored manner .

The reason why Mao Xiang worked so hard was to allow Zhu Yuanzhang to be as immersive as possible, and it was also for the maverick genius not to be killed by Li Shanchang.

He knows that only Zhu Yuanzhang can keep Ye Qing from being killed by Li Shanchang, and he knows Zhu Yuanzhang's character even more, that is the person Zhu Yuanzhang has not decided to kill. If anyone dares to kill first, he will definitely kill the one who dares to beat him first The first to do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sentence, "No one else wants Ye Qing's life but Lao Tzu' is enough to prove everything!
As for whether Ye Qing will be the result of 'the emperor uses it first and then kills it', there is nothing he can do about it, only to see if Ye Qing is up to date.

In a word, he will definitely do his best to prevent Ye Qing from being killed by Li Shanchang and the others. As for whether Ye Qing will be bestowed to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang can't do anything!
Under the candlelight, after Mao Xiang's report was over, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze became deep.

In fact, except for Ye Qing who can make Zhu Yuanzhang lose his temper, no one can easily do this.

When facing Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, he will never be easily blown up.

More often than not, he makes decisions before acting!
Zhu Yuanzhang just sneered and said: "In our whole life, the person called Mr. Li is Mr. Li Shanchang, and the person called Master is Liu Bowen and Mr. Liu!"

"Right now, Mrs. Liu is about to retire, and Mr. Li is going to play against us again."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of regret in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes that was not easy to detect.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered what Ye Qing said. Ye Qing said that he himself was responsible for the current situation.

He really didn't want to admit that he was the one in Ye Qing's mouth who asked others to be loyal and unparalleled, but himself was disloyal.

He didn't even want to admit that he was the one in Ye Qing's mouth, who talked about meritorious deeds and rewards, but favored his relatives and neglected his meritorious officials!
But if you think about it carefully, that's really the case.

From the current point of view, Mu Ying's achievements are far inferior to Tang He's, but apart from not being a Marquis, she has received far more rewards in kind than Tang He.

Thinking of this, he just sighed and began to think about remedies.

Finally, he thought of it!
In Mao Xiang's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang started to write as soon as he picked up his pen: "The existing rewards remain unchanged. All the iron scrolls to avoid death will be withdrawn and the "Iron Law" will be promulgated. Deal with it with iron law."

After writing this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile.

In his opinion, his remedial measures are already in place.

The existing rewards have not changed, and he is telling the nobles of Huaixi that he, Zhu Yuanzhang, still misses the old relationship very much, and hopes that they will be satisfied.

The retraction of the death-preventing iron scroll and the promulgation of the "Iron Law" clearly told them that they no longer had amulets, and everyone was fair and just, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and punished for violating the law!

Whether it is reward or punishment, they are all executed in accordance with the iron law, and there is no favoritism!

"Mao Xiang, I will entrust you to implement this edict, I hope they can do it themselves!"

After Mao Xiang took the letter with both hands, he took the order and left.

But just when he was about to open the door to go out, Zhu Yuanzhang called him back again.

Zhu Yuanzhang just frowned and said, "Do you think it's not good to have such a chancellor between the officials and the emperor?"

"No, help us analyze the purpose of Ye Qing's self-evaluation memorial, the analysis is so comprehensive."

"Even our sister reminded us not to die rashly, he can analyze it. He really deserves to be Mr. Li whom we recognize!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "When we are alive, we can still suppress such a second emperor!"

"But if we leave, can Biao'er beat them?"

Mao Xiang already knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do.

But to put it bluntly, he was just a chief guard who the emperor trusted, even if he knew it, he would pretend not to know it.

In his opinion, there could only be two reasons for Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden questioning.

The first reason is very simple, and that is the loneliness of the emperor. When he didn't want to talk to Queen Ma and the prince, Mao Xiang was the only one beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

The second reason is terrible, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion has committed again.

The reason why he asked such a word was just to test whether he, the closest person besides his wife, would also be the next Li Shanchang.

But no matter what the reason is, it will never be to ask Mao Xiang for his opinion!
As long as Mao Xiang dares to express his opinion on this matter, he will not be far from death!
Mao Xiang just cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm just a warrior. I just want to protect you by your side. I don't understand political affairs, and I don't want to get involved in political affairs."

"Chen, I will resign and go on business."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he showed a real smile and said: "There is no rush to do the work, you are also tired, take two days off before doing it, and you don't have to be on duty for these two days."

After Mao Xiang left the imperial study room, he let out a long sigh as if relieved of a heavy burden.

He just looked in the direction of Yanmen County, his eyes full of longing.

Yes,

Prisoner No. 88 in Yanmen County, although he was a little 'stupid' when he was angry, he was the real Zhu Chongba, Mao Xiang's uncle Zhu!
He still remembers what Zhu Yuanzhang said to him, 'When you are away from home, we will treat you as a junior'.

Not only that, but he still remembers that when he ran on Zhu Yuanzhang and only had some broken silver and copper plates in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang just stared at him and it was over.

There are many memories like this, but they are all limited to Yanmen County!
"I think too much!"

"Your Majesty is the emperor who controls the officials after all, and will not always be that talkative Zhu Chongba!"

"."

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang walked alone on the way back to Duwei's Mansion, with a little disappointment in his eyes.

But within two steps, there was a strong look of anticipation in his eyes.

Because in his opinion, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang became his beloved Uncle Zhu was not because of Yanmen County, but because of Ye Qing.

As long as he is with Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang will become his beloved Uncle Zhu!

Thinking of this, he immediately made another decision, as long as Ye Qing strives for himself, and doesn't take a bite out of the agricultural tax or military power, he will also do his best in the matter of Ye Qing's appointment as an official. force!
In fact, he was wrong!

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang became his beloved Uncle Zhu was not because he was with Ye Qing, but because Yanmen County had essentially become Ye Qing's territory.

Zhu Yuanzhang inspected Ye Qing in a subdued manner on Ye Qing's territory, naturally he had to restrain himself a little.

But once Ye Qing went to Yingtian Mansion alone to become an official, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he would be a lonely weak scholar, and Zhu Yuanzhang could take care of him.

If Ye Qing doesn't change his eloquence, Zhu Yuanzhang will most likely become worse than he is now, making Mao Xiang afraid!
A few days later, Mao Xiang led his Jinyiwei and began to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, and Zhu Yuanzhang also began his political life of "getting up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs".

Time flies, time flies, and soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th.

During this time, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma did a lot of things.

Empress Ma really did what she promised Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang earned the money and the goods belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, as early as their return journey, Empress Ma thoroughly studied the "Guide to the Sales of High-end Luxury Glazed Products".

She adopted the "momentum auction method" and held auctions in major luxury hotels in the capital.

In the end, all these high-end glazed products were bought by the dignitaries and wealthy merchants in the capital at high prices!
After the wealthy businessman bought it, he gave it to the dignitaries as a filial piety!

The dignitaries naturally knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had an incomparably precious glass vase, so they began to scramble to honor him Zhu Yuanzhang!
Of course, they didn't dare to let Zhu Yuanzhang know that they paid a lot of money for these things.

So, they also communicated with a Liuli workshop, falsely claiming that the batch of products produced by the Liuli workshop is very good, so they are all good-looking and cheap products.

They also just discovered it by accident when they were visiting the colored glaze market, and then bought it to honor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew it well, and while accepting all the orders with a smile, he also silently wrote down their names and official positions.

When Empress Ma was doing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not idle.

He successfully recovered all the death-preventing iron scrolls, and also successfully promulgated the "Iron Law", but the effect was very dissatisfied.

In the eyes of all the officials, he did not see Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation for his fairness. Instead, he saw the expression of "dare to be angry but dare not speak".

He also reflected on such a result, but no matter how he reflected, he felt that his remedial measures were not wrong at all.

But the facts proved him wrong again!

There is no other way but to save this question and ask Mr. Ye for advice!

In addition to this matter, he also accomplished a major event without telling Empress Ma, that is, in the name of 'Guo Rui', he built the [Yingtian Industrial Park] that he personally planned and designed on the east bank of the Qinhuai River!
Although it was built in the name of Guo Rui, Guo Rui is actually the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, so everything is as fast as God!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that after his industrial park made money, he would use the money to build the first one, which was far better than Yanmen Nursing Home [Yingtian Nursing Home].

At that time, Yingtian Yangjiyuan will be run in the name of the imperial court, in the name of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for the reason why he did it without telling Queen Ma, it was too simple.

He wanted to give Empress Ma a surprise, and wanted Empress Ma to look at him with admiring eyes, and to praise him, 'My Zhongba is not inferior to Ye Qing in this aspect'!
August [-]th afternoon,

In the imperial study room, Empress Ma took out the 30 coins she had earned back with interest and said, "Chongba, I've done what I said."

"You have to do what you say, and you must promise me a request in the future!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang was counting the money, he said with a smile, "My sister really has you, don't worry, we will do what we say."

After hearing such a promise, Queen Ma smiled reassuringly, because she won a substantial death-free coupon for Ye Qing!
But just when Empress Ma was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again: "Sister, you earned 20 guan, can you help us pay off the treasury first?"

"We borrowed 20 guan from the national treasury, and there is an IOU!"

When Queen Ma heard this, she just blinked her eyes, and then took out the feather duster specially used to clean up Zhu Yuanzhang!
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
