The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 147 Scolding Zhu Yuanzhang face-to-face is an ear-scratching, Lord Ye thank Empress Ma!
In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, Ye Qing is not like the passers-by on the street, wearing short shorts.

He was wearing a white silk brocade jacket with patterns, which looked so elegant and exquisite, but the jade-inlaid belt around the waist and gold accessories on the neckline were enough to show his strong financial resources.

The so-called 'combination of elegance and vulgarity' refers to Ye Qing at this moment!
The reason why he was dressed like this was because of the climate here.

The summer in this place is like this. If you go out to bask in the sun, it will definitely be extremely hot, but if you stay in a place where the sun does not shine for a long time, it will be a bit cold if you wear less clothes.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing was sitting in the chair and drinking alone, completely ignoring them.

But for Ye Qing's rudeness at the moment, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't want to care about it, because in his opinion, it was also Ye Qing's progress.

At least after knowing they are here, don't let them wait so long!

"It seems that this sister of Empress Ma's family is still worthy of face."

"If you let me know that we are the emperor who you say you can't eat and do, will you kneel down when your legs are weak?"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang just thought about it like this, and he was looking forward to it.

Looking forward to Ye Qing knowing that he is Zhu Yuanzhang, and facing the scene where he smashes the floor and scalp.

Of course, whether Ye Qing will give him the chance to kneel and kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang depends on Ye Qing's performance.

If he takes a bite out of the agricultural tax, even if it's a small bite, Ye Qing won't have this chance!
Not only the agricultural tax, but this time he also needs to find out whether Ye Qing has been involved in military affairs or not!

Although Zhu Biao said that Yanmen County is located at the border and cannot be killed with a single shot according to the rules of the hinterland of the Central Plains, it should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

But in his Zhu Yuanzhang's view, there is only one case where Ye Qing's involvement in military affairs is meritless, that is, all the generals of the Yanmen Four Guards Garrison are dead.

Besides, as long as he, Ye Qing, has one foot involved in military affairs, he must be dead!
Only if he doesn't step on these two bottom lines, Ye Qing will have the chance to kneel in front of him and smash the floor into pieces!
But before that, he is still willing to continue to get along with Ye Qing as Master Guo, even though it will take some anger, but in his opinion, this time it shouldn't be as much anger as last time.

There is no other reason,

Just because Ye Qing came to wait for them after knowing they were coming.

It seems that what her sister said is right, his principle of 'only benefits but no friends' is not aimed at them.

As for not taking the initiative to talk to him, it is still understandable, after all he 'Guo Rui' is Shang, and he Ye Qing is an official, there is no reason for an official to take the initiative to greet Shang.

Even for the sake of face, I have to wait for him, Master Guo, to speak first!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was wrong again.

The reason why Ye Qing came here first to wait for them is purely because he knows that these part-time imperial envoys are thick-skinned and low-skinned enough, his 'equal treatment' can't stop them at all.

That being the case, it's better to prepare early and get rid of them early.

Although he had already made all the preparations to take a big bite out of the agricultural tax, it would take a lot of time, so it would be better if they were so angry that they would go back and file a complaint.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately started to pose, Erlang's legs were raised up, his neck was extended and his head was raised up.

What is it to look at people with their nostrils, he is just defiant!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed when he saw Ye Qing showing off like this, but because of the doubt in his heart, he forcibly endured it.

There is no way, whoever called him Zhu Yuanzhang is the one who needs to be taught.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped over the threshold, saluted with a smile: "Lord Ye, long time no see, we miss you so much!"

Empress Ma and Mao Xiang who followed him in also clearly felt Zhu Yuanzhang's progress.

This cheap businessman's acting is really too cheap!

Following Zhu Yuanzhang, the two also greeted Ye Qing, but seeing Ye Qing's defiant look, they both wanted to hit someone.

In the eyes of the three of them, Ye Qing just patted the dust on his dress, and said with a look of a clean freak: "Why are you here again?"

"It's such a hot day, if you don't rest at home, you're really taking advantage of money!"

In the hearts of the three of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was a sentence at the same time, that is, "Where did you come from, saying that others have taken advantage of money?" '.

But they still remain the cheap businessmen themselves, that is, the more the officials scold, the more they laugh.

Ye Qing also had nothing to do with them, in line with the principle of not slapping people with smiling faces, he just said casually: "Give three cups of tea to the three, so as not to say that the official is not good at hospitality."

After the servant girl bowed and saluted, she went to prepare tea for Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already sitting on the left, started his first goal, which was verbal rewards.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, is also a man of one word, and he should be rewarded where he should be rewarded.

Zhu Yuanzhang just cupped his hands and said with a smile: "When we entered the city, we wanted to buy a cup of ice water to relieve the heat, but who would have thought that after walking around, we would know that there is no ice in the city."

"I found out later that Master Ye not only bought all the ice, but also supplied all the ice to the mine and the arsenal, just to complete the production of the arsenal faster."

"This is the blessing of the officers and men of the Yanmen Gate, and also the blessing of the people of Ming Dynasty in the Yanmen Pass."

"If His Majesty were here, he would definitely say, 'Your Majesty is like this, I am so relieved'!"

Immediately afterwards, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang followed Zhu Yuanzhang in praise.

The three of them thought that they had already boasted like this, so they should stop showing off, and it was time to talk about old feelings!

But at this moment, they just heard an extremely piercing sneer.

Ye Qing just picked up the chilled mint herbal tea, took a sip intoxicated, the refreshing feeling, although it's not iced juice, it's even better than iced juice.

Ye Qing put down the teacup, waved his hand, and said casually: "The three of you are overrated."

"The purpose of this official is very simple, and that is to hope that the soldiers can guard the city and the cornucopia of this official."

"If the blame is taken away by the enemy, where will I, a corrupt official, go?"

When the three of them heard this, they always felt that they stretched out a hot face, but they were turned back by his cold ass.

Empress Ma and Mao Xiang could bear it, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it.

But Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger because of the question that had not been raised in his heart, but he said in a stronger tone: "My lord, you can just say this in front of us."

"Besides, it's not practical!"

"Master Ye is about to expire in three years. If you cannot be re-elected, how can you be greedy here?"

Ye Qing just gave Zhu Yuanzhang a blank look and said, "Naive!"

"If you return to serve as a soldier for His Majesty, I will reward you with the phrase 'a martial artist'!"

"But you are in business now, and you are also a person who relies on interpersonal relationships for a living. Why are you so naive?"

"I want to ask you, Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, has been in office for four years in Hongwu. Could it be that he can't manage the Zhongshu Province now?"

"As long as you are still someone who can talk to His Majesty, as long as you are still the imperial merchant who manages the royal purchase, as long as you can still get in touch with them, you should know that Li Shanchang still has the final say in the current Zhongshu Province! "

Speaking of this, Ye Qing deliberately leaned forward to sit, looked straight into the eyes of the part-time imperial envoy Mr. Guo who is Zhu Yuanzhang's brainless fan, and said: "So, as long as your majesty doesn't chop off the official's head, he doesn't care Whoever is appointed as the county magistrate here is the official's final decision!"

At this very moment,
Empress Ma, who was sitting on the right seat, felt cold in her hands and feet.

She really couldn't figure it out, what exactly is this Ye Qing going to do?
Since he knew that Mrs. Guo in front of him was the sister of Empress Ma, and that Mr. Guo was from His Majesty's former soldier, or the kind who was greatly favored, wouldn't he be afraid of being sued?
This is tantamount to saying directly in front of the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang that he will become the next Li Shanchang!

The point is, this is saying that in front of Zhu Yuanzhang!
Thinking of this, Queen Ma, who was as careful as a hair, immediately looked into Ye Qing's eyes, she found that Ye Qing's eyes were full of provocation.

It was because of this extremely obvious, completely deliberate provocative look that gave her her own ideas.

In her opinion, Ye Qing did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was looking like a torch. She only hoped that his family would realize that Ye Qing said these words on purpose!
Just when Empress Ma was looking forward to it, Zhu Yuanzhang just said in a low voice: "Master Ye, you know our identity, are you not afraid that we will sue you?"

When Ye Qing heard it, there was only one sentence in his heart, 'this effect is what I want'.

Ye Qing hurriedly leaned back on the chair, Erlang continued to raise his legs, and said in a respectful manner: "Please do it!"

"If you want to sue, I will never stop you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really annoyed when he saw him completely ignoring the emperor.

He wanted to rush out right now, and go directly to the nearby guard post to mobilize troops to take down this ignorant bastard.

But just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to stand up, Empress Ma suddenly smiled and said, "Master Ye, why do you think you are doing this?"

"We are so familiar, why do you want to test us like this?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly became enlightened.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord Ye, are you doubting that we will sue His Majesty for your crime?"

"Who do you think we are?"

"Although His Majesty has shown great favor to us, we are just a businessman seeking wealth. Besides, although you, Mr. Ye, are greedy, you also make the people rich, don't you?"

"You didn't do anything to harm the country and the people, so what reason do we have to sue?"

"For the batch of goods you gave us last time, we bought 30 guan, but we got back [-] guan with interest."

"It is precisely because of the doubled profit that we have to take a trip in this hot weather. If we don't come this time, we will have to go next year."

"Who will have trouble with money, don't you think so?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior like this, Empress Ma on the side also smiled with satisfaction.

This is the case with Shigeba of her family. Sometimes he can't think so much when he is angry, but as long as he reminds him a little, he will immediately understand.

Yes,

From Empress Ma's point of view, he, Ye Qing, said this on purpose to test them.

Now that his suspicions are completely cleared, it's time to be both a friend and a partner!
And at this moment,
Ye Qing just glanced at Madam Guo, the sister of Empress Ma, from the corner of his eye, and there was only one sentence in his mind, 'I didn't even know I was testing, thank you! '

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing just smiled at Master Guo in front of him, "Do you understand Sichuan dialect?"

"Understood, what's wrong?"

Ye Qing took a sip of herbal mint tea, to calm down his own anger first.

After taking one gulp, the anger in his stomach was gone.

Ye Qing still smiled and said: "Then how about I give Master Guo a sentence in Sichuan dialect?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Master Ye, please!"

Ye Qing just smiled and said politely: "Come out to do business and bring your mother-in-law with you, you bastard, you're just an ear-scratcher!"

"Really, your baby is one, you can't rake your ears!".
　I ask the officials to subscribe and support, thank you!
