The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 141 Empress Ma bestows Master Ye's death, and a song blasts Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu said that it is an urgent report for eight hundred miles from the border!"

After returning to the imperial study, the eunuch in charge became more serious.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma heard this, they also changed their casual family sitting postures, and immediately sat very upright.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Let him in!"

After the eunuch in charge left, Empress Ma also stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, since it is a state matter, the concubine will retire first."

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded, and Empress Ma immediately turned around and arranged for her Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.

Just after Empress Ma left, Hu Weiyong pulled up his clothes and stepped across the threshold, kneeling and bowing in parallel: "Minister Hu Weiyong, I respectfully invite Shengan."

Zhu Yuanzhang also said seriously: "Zhen An, get up and speak."

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew what Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong did, but in the final analysis it was still a secret game between imperial power and prime minister.

As long as he, Hu Weiyong, does what the prime minister should do well, then on the bright side, he has to look like a harmonious monarch and his ministers.

After Hu Weiyong got up, he immediately took out the memorial, and deliberately put the cover with the words "Chen Yanmen county magistrate Ye Qing worships" on it.

But he just said solemnly: "Your Majesty, hurry up and report at the border eight hundred miles away."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw these words, his eyes lit up subconsciously, but then he immediately acted as if he was doing business.

You can't see Ye Qing's specialness on Hu Weiyong's face, nor can you see it on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but both of them know that this Ye Qing is very special to each other!
But when facing each other, there is no particularity that can be shown.

Hu Weiyong didn't show Ye Qing's particularity because Li Shanchang told him that for the time being, there is no such person in the world.

Of course, even without Li Shanchang's warning, he would not show any special care for Ye Qing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

To be able to sit in this position, he still has some skills.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, when facing Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, he was definitely not Zhu Chongba who was so angry with Ye Qing, he was Zhu Yuanzhang whose heart was deeper than the sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at the wax seal of the envelope and said, "The wax seal hasn't been removed yet, didn't you read it?"

Hu Weiyong clasped his hands and said: "The [-]-mile rush to the border must be military affairs, but the right minister Xu Da is in charge of all military affairs reports."

"But the Duke of Wei is in the Xuanwu Lake camp. This minister, who doesn't understand military affairs, really dare not delay, so he has to hurry up and meet His Majesty."

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, these remarks are indeed very reasonable on the bright side!

If he didn't know that Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong had specially corresponded to discuss how to deal with Ye Qing, he would have believed it.

But after he knew what was going on, he felt that the reason why Hu Weiyong didn't watch it was not that simple.

His real reason was to show Zhu Yuanzhang what Li Shanchang said, "Just pretend there is no such person as Ye Qing".

Zhu Yuanzhang guessed right, Hu Weiyong just wanted to act out this sentence to him.

In fact, he really wanted to read the content of Ye Qing's report, when he received the report, he subconsciously wanted to unpack it directly, that is, thinking of Li Shanchang's instructions, he trotted all the way here.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew what kind of ghost Hu Weiyong's idea was, and he was thinking that after Zhu Yuanzhang watched it himself, he would let him watch it and make suggestions.

In this way, he can read Ye Qing's report again, and he won't be suspected of taking special care of Ye Qing.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and said, "Weiyong!"

"Although it is urgent to expedite the eight hundred miles, there is no rush for this moment. You go home to spend the holidays with your wife and children. We can review it by ourselves later!"

Hu Weiyong was also taken aback for a moment after hearing this, but immediately resigned immediately.

He was walking on the way out of the Imperial Study Room, but he couldn't figure out why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became so generous?

Also know that the Mid-Autumn Festival gives the prime minister a half-day off?
It's just that this holiday is really not the right time!
in the imperial study,

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly opened the envelope after confirming that Hu Weiyong had left the imperial study and could no longer hear him speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't doubt at all that Hu Weiyong would remove the wax seal, read the memorial secretly and then pretended not to have read it.

First of all, the memorial wax seals used in each place have different patterns and exquisite patterns. Once disassembled, it is basically impossible to restore them to the level of fake ones.

Another one is that all the memorials have to go through the Ministry of Education first, and Hu Weiyong has the right to take them apart first, so there is absolutely no need for such a risk.

After Zhu Yuanzhang opened the wax seal, he also subconsciously opened the memorial book at once.

He was also very curious about what Master Ye, whom he had not seen for a long time, would say to His Majesty the Emperor on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The other one is to use [-] miles to expedite the memorial, which is basically an emergency military situation. If there is no accident, Bei Yuan should have taken action.

But even so, he still took a deep breath first, he didn't want to be so angry that he lost his sense of proportion!

This is what it means to be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

In the eyes of the eunuch in charge, Zhu Yuanzhang finally opened the memorial!
He only saw Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, which were first narrowed, then dilated, and finally red blood streaks were visible.

And his next actions can be said to be exactly the same as when he read the self-evaluation memorial.

Zhu Yuanzhang merged the memorial with the force of "two winds piercing the ears", and then threw it outside with all his strength: "I'm so mad!"

"How dare he."

After Zhu Yuanzhang scolded here, he turned his head to look at the eunuch who was in charge, and said with restraint of anger, "Go and call us the queen."

Seeing the eunuch standing there still stupidly, he couldn't help it anymore, he just slapped the table with a single word: "What are you doing standing here stupidly?"

"Why don't you hurry up and call the queen?"

The eunuch who had been frightened for a long time came back to his senses immediately, and before he could say 'it's your majesty', he really started running with his hakama.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang was still panting there.

He really almost asked Mao Xiang to kill him again, but he knew that if he wanted to kill Ye Qing now, he had to pass his sister's test.

He borrowed 20 pennies from her sister to repay the debt. This face has to be given.
After a while, Queen Ma ran over in a hurry.

"Zhu Chongba, what are you doing again?"

"I'm very busy there, it's almost dark, and everyone is still waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner!"

"The nearly ten carts of glazed products that have returned to us are mostly lighthouse lampshades, and I am arranging for manpower to replace them."

"Those concubines and daughters-in-law of yours, just wait and see!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just waved his hands and said, "We are not in the mood to eat mooncakes with you now, and look at the moon. Even if we look at the moon now, we think it is a blood moon!"

Empress Ma was both puzzled and helpless: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at him to pick up the memorial and said, "Look for yourself, Mr. Ye spent [-] miles to expedite it, to wish us a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Empress Ma looked at the scattered memorial and immediately knew that it was obviously picked up after being thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang, and smashed on the table casually.

She just glanced at the memorial and knew that it was definitely not as simple as Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The key is Ye Qing's memorial!
She really wants to see it but is afraid to watch it, wants to know what the content is, and is afraid that the content is too much, even she thinks it is too much!
But the matter still needs to be resolved, and she can only sit on the chair and appreciate Master Ye's memorial.

The content of the memorial: "Revealing Your Majesty, on this Mid-Autumn Festival, I present a song, wishing Your Majesty a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"The lyrics are as follows: Talk about Fengyang, talk about Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place, since Emperor Zhu was born, there have been five years of drought in the six years since the founding of the country!"

"Finally, I have the guts to ask, Your Majesty has no idea after reading the minister's self-evaluation memorial?"

"That's all I've said, I'll pay my respects to the chief minister!"

"Signed: Ye Qing, the guilty official of Yanmen County Magistrate!"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, after reading the memorial that was rushed over eight hundred miles, Empress Ma slapped it on the table and put her hands on her forehead, looking weak and having a headache.

Seeing Empress Ma like this, Zhu Yuanzhang also shook his head helplessly, looking extremely disappointed.

He just went straight to the dragon case, helped and pulled Empress Ma onto the dragon chair and sat down, then took out the blank standard imperial edict from the bookcase at the back, and spread it out in front of Empress Ma.

While rubbing ink for Empress Ma, he said, "Don't think about it too much, this person is just looking for death."

"Master Ye is rich, so it looks like he bought off the courier soldiers to deliver it today, especially for us on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"We don't want to, let's fulfill him!"

"But you have been protecting him all along, so you write the death edict!"

"Let's grind the ink for the empress personally, don't be dazed, please hurry up!"

"."

Empress Ma glanced at the memorial again, it was really concise and too much, so much that she almost wanted to be a hag.

Especially this song, which has no cultural background except for the smooth flow, is completely used to disgust people.

Where is Fengyang?
Fengyang is another name for Haozhou, and it is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown!

This short ballad is saying that not only did Zhu Yuanzhang fail to benefit his hometown, but he also made the people in his hometown suffer more and more, even more bitterly than in the Yuan Dynasty!

The key is to deliberately disgust him on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just don't go too far!
More importantly, this is purely non-existent, and it is completely playing the piano indiscriminately.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a very nostalgic person. He asked Li Shanchang to manage Haozhou, and also moved 10,000+ rich people from the south of the Yangtze River to make life better for the people in his hometown?
Just when Queen Ma thought of the words Li Shanchang, she immediately felt something was wrong.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Empress Ma picked up the memorial again and read it word by word.

It's just that Empress Ma is very calm at this time. It can be said that she is slowly appreciating calligraphy, or she is looking for clues.

Finally, Empress Ma gently put down the memorial and said, "Chongba, don't rub the ink, there is something wrong with this memorial."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, stared wide-eyed, still depressed:

"He's so angry with us, what's the problem?".
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
