The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 150 Master Ye taught Zhu Yuanzhang to admit his mistakes only after he died, talking about the emperor's bad relationship with his son!
For Mrs. Guo's answer, Ye Qing really felt a little boring.

Of course, he also felt that he was at fault first, so he shouldn't give the latter example. In this era, it is normal for the master and the maid to have sex.

As long as a man does not divorce his wife for no reason because he prefers a maidservant, then there is nothing wrong with it both morally and legally.

On the contrary, if the wife misbehaves because of this matter, she will be scolded!

Just as Empress Ma finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up again, held his head high and said, "Master Ye, what example do you think you gave?"

"Should we beat our wife?"

"Let me tell you, we will never hit her in this life, you simply doubt our relationship!"

"Even if she pissed us off, the most we can do is make a gesture to hit someone, but it will never fall on him."

"Master Ye, even if you have the ability to steer the world, the ability to turn the world around, and the unpredictable tricks of ghosts and gods, you still have one thing that is absolutely inferior to us."

"We have a good wife, you are still a widow in your twenties!"

"We don't care why you haven't married a wife in your twenties, but you are still a widow!"

"."

Ye Qing just rolled his eyes, he wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

Yes, he was single for a reason.

In this era, he is a person who puts his head on his waistband and works hard to be bestowed by the emperor to death.

How could he promise his girl for a lifetime?
Still the same sentence, you still have to have a bit of conscience to be a human being!
But what they said was indeed true. No matter what the reason was, he was a widow in his 20s without a wife.

Ye Qing looked at the middle-aged couple who shared the same hatred in this respect, it was really the second example of the woman vetoing him, and the first example of the man vetoing him.

Ye Qing just nodded his head in admiration and said: "Okay, you two are better than Jin Jian!"

"It's because I didn't think about it properly. I won't give this kind of example anymore, but you are also not allowed to say that I am a widow."

"If you dare to say a word, I will drive you out of the city immediately. I will definitely do what I say."

"In this respect, this official is better than the emperor Lao Tzu. If the emperor talks like fart, this official will definitely say the same thing."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded subconsciously after hearing this, Ye Qing will either not say anything, or he will definitely do what he says, he has seen enough with his own eyes.

He has absolutely no doubts about this.

But then he widened his eyes again, but only widened his eyes.

Because what Ye Qing said before giving an example is enough to prove that Zhu Yuanzhang really did something stupid.

He has now realized that his act of withdrawing the death-prevention scroll is completely tantamount to telling all the officials that Zhu Yuanzhang's words are farting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just sighed in disappointment.

With great difficulty, he caught Ye Qing's sore foot and gained a small advantage, but he was immediately defeated by others.

The point is that he can't refute it, which is too uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Empress Ma in disappointment and said, "Your Majesty has indeed done something wrong with this matter. After you go back, find a chance to talk to your empress."

Empress Ma just nodded, even as Mrs. Guo, she agreed.

In fact, she felt that something was wrong long after she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had withdrawn the death-prevention scroll.

But this was what Zhu Yuanzhang did without telling him, and it was too late after she knew it, so she couldn't do it against her husband!

If Zhu Yuanzhang had discussed with her before doing this, she could definitely avoid this from happening.

But the problem is that it has happened now, and the reputation of the emperor has been greatly reduced in the hearts of all officials.

She really couldn't think of a way to restore her reputation, and she could only rely on this worldly genius, Master Ye!

After thinking of this, Queen Ma didn't make a sound, she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask this question next.

Just as Empress Ma expected, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "Lord Ye, His Majesty is indeed wrong, but there is nothing he can do about it!"

"These people will only get bigger and bigger appetites because they have the iron roll to avoid death."

"The matter has come to this, and we can only find a way to restore His Majesty's reputation in the hearts of all officials!"

"What can you do to save it?"

"Master Ye, please continue to enlighten me. If we help His Majesty, we will be more able to speak in front of His Majesty. This will be more beneficial to our business, isn't it?"

Ye Qing didn't care about these benefits at all, he just thought he could teach Zhu Yuanzhang two tricks.

Fortunately, Master Guo has such a purpose. If he dares to sell him to Zhu Yuanzhang, he will teach him a fart!

Ye Qing just smiled lightly and said: "Wrong, Your Majesty is not wrong, but really stupid!"

"What is the use of the death-prevention scroll? The emperor will always have the final say. Should he be afraid that they will run amok just because they have the death-prevention scroll?"

"It is precisely because they have the death-prevention certificate that they will be bold and reckless. As long as this person has no scruples, he will act carelessly and show his feet."

"At that time, won't it be more convenient to handle?"

"If it's the time for them to take out the iron scroll to plead guilty, how much evidence will they have in the hands of the emperor?"

"With these criminal evidences, it can be said that they are 'the people and the gods share the wrath, and the crime cannot be punished'!"

"All people and gods are angry together, is it still useful to avoid death?"

"Furthermore, this death-prevention scroll also has written regulations, just like our various contracts, no matter how strict the contract is, we can always find loopholes!"

"."

Under Ye Qing's instruction, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to slap himself, and he really felt that he had done something stupid.

"Yup!"

"There is no need to take it back!"

"Now that they don't have the death certificate, and they have taken precautions against us, they will only act more cautiously, and it will be difficult to find criminal evidence!"

"Stupid, so stupid!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't want to admit it, Ye Qing convinced him by saying that he was stupid.

But the fact is like this, what Ye Qing said made Zhu Yuanzhang feel stupid.

But it's still the same sentence, he, Ye Qing, can put it in a better way, if he doesn't change his eloquence when he arrives in the capital, he will really die in his hands sooner or later.

Of course, this is a story.

Ye Qing must have the opportunity to go to the capital, if he takes a bite out of agricultural tax and military power, he will never have this opportunity!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking like this, Ye Qing continued: "The solution is also simple!"

"On this matter, you must pretend to be stupid, act as if nothing happened, and never mention the two things of 'Iron Scroll' and "Iron Law" at any time!"

"Just pretend that these two things have never come to this world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused when he heard it. This method of not admitting mistakes and pretending to be stupid is also a solution to the problem?
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "If you don't admit your mistakes, just pass by?"

Ye Qing nodded and said: "The emperor can only admit his mistakes in one situation, and that is when he is about to die in his later years, just like Emperor Wu of the Han issued the "Edict of Guilt" in his later years."

"In his later years, an "Edict of Guilt" directly asked the people of the country to forgive him for his militarism, and said that he was a saint who corrected when he knew his mistakes."

"He has the title of the great emperor, and this edict of guilt is creditable."

Speaking of this, Ye Qing suddenly became serious: "Besides, the emperor is not allowed to admit his mistakes at any time, even if he did something wrong, he is not allowed to admit his mistakes."

"Admitting mistakes in the prime of life and admitting mistakes in old age are completely different things."

"When a man in his prime admits his mistakes, others won't say that the emperor corrects them when he knows his mistakes, they will only catch the emperor's fault!"

"Just like Tang Taizong, he issued the "Edict of Guilt" because of a locust disaster. On the surface, it stabilized some people's hearts in the face of natural disasters, but it gave many caring people opportunities."

"Back then, many people used this "Edict of Guilt" to say that he killed his brother and seized the throne, and this caused the punishment of drought locusts!"

"So the emperor can't admit his mistakes until he is in his later years. If he realizes that he made a mistake, he just doesn't want to make the same mistake again."

"As for why you can admit your mistakes in your later years, that's too simple."

"Because no one will plot against an emperor who is about to die, or catch an emperor who has not lived for a few days. It is better to save energy and figure out how to handle the new emperor."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he understood it all at once.

He really can't admit his mistakes, he has much more handles than Tang Taizong!

After Zhu Yuanzhang realized this problem, Ye Qing continued: "Actually, we are very similar to fish, and our memory is very short."

"Whether it's the emperor's relatives or the people of the Li people, there is a lively event, and these are the topics of conversation after dinner, and when the event is no longer lively, it will gradually be forgotten."

"As long as the dead iron scroll and "Iron Law" are no longer mentioned, in three to five years, no one will remember this matter."

"In three to five years, people who should be bold will still show their fox tails!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qing looked at Master Guo in front of him again, and said with a faint smile: "This matter, I don't need to give another example!"

In fact, Ye Qing is not really unable to give examples.

It was like this in his previous life, when something was hot, everyone would swarm over it.

But it doesn't take three to five years at all. Most of the time, it is less than a month before it is completely forgotten.

Even in the past dynasties, there are countless such examples.

Zhu Yuanzhang also agrees with this statement, because this is the characteristic of everyone. When there is fun, there are swarms of swarms, and when there is no excitement, you will forget it immediately!
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully, Ye Qing continued: "So, your Majesty only needs to never mention the iron scrolls and iron laws, and at the same time, silently put an end to the practice of talking about closeness without regard to merit, and do a good job." When it comes to real meritorious deeds and rewards, the rewards and punishments are clearly defined."

"As long as it takes a long time, the reputation in the hearts of all officials can be restored, not to mention all, but more than half."

"This is the best way!"

"It's easy to ruin your reputation, but it's not an easy task to pick it up, it's a long-term thing!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing also returned to his main seat, and once again drank his mint herbal tea on his own.

And at this moment,
The way Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked at him also changed, with more appreciation and approval.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma again and said, "Sister, you heard it too, go back and find a chance to talk to your empress."

Empress Ma just nodded with a smile, and then looked at Ye Qing with anticipation in her eyes.

She really hoped that Ye Qing could go to the capital to be an official, and then say this to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, instead of being separated by such a master Guo as he is now!

The point is that the cost of such a trip to ask for advice is too high, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-intensive, not to mention human-intensive.

If she goes through this two more times, she will lose the confidence to live another ten years!

But if this matter is to become a reality, her family's Shigehachi must nod, and her family's Shigehachi is the final decision maker.

She also knew that in order for her family to be reborn, two things had to be confirmed, that is, he, Ye Qing, would not take a bite out of military power and agricultural tax.

This is also the ultimate goal of their trip!
But before that, it is also a good thing to make Ye Qing more pleasing to her family's Zhongba!
Thinking of this, Empress Ma gave Zhu Yuanzhang a look, signaling him to hit the iron while it was hot, and quickly asked him the question he wanted to ask the most, and it was also a question she couldn't understand at all.

She really couldn't figure it out, the emperor didn't do well enough, what did it have to do with having too many sons?
But she also believed that Ye Qing must have his reasons for what he said last time.

It's a pity that he stopped talking halfway through the last time!
This time, no matter what, he had to pry his mouth open, no matter what, he had to explain this question clearly!

Zhu Yuanzhang understood Empress Ma's eyes immediately, and immediately asked, "Lord Ye, last time you said that the emperor did not do well enough because he has too many sons?"

"We've been thinking about it for half a year, but we still haven't figured out why?"

"This time, you have to teach me no matter what!".
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
