The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 165 Master Ye's ostentation is greater than that of Emperor Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang finally made it through!
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines on the bedside of the guest room through the paper window.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma wore white underwear, each holding a spittoon, and they all looked constipated.

The sound of vomiting can be said to be the husband and wife coming one after another.

After Zhu Yuanzhang vomited, he looked fiercely and said: "We finally understand this shit, why did you say that we are afraid that we won't be able to get up in the morning?"

"Unfortunate!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head abruptly, almost stuffing his head into the spittoon.

Empress Ma also said with resentment in her eyes: "How happy it was then, how uncomfortable it is now!"

As soon as the words fell, Empress Ma, like Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed her head and began to vomit.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, after hearing the word 'happily', he immediately thought of his feeling after drinking this wine that was as pure as water that he had never seen before.

At that time, the two of them and Mao Xiang all followed Ye Qing's example, and directly drank a glass of two liang of wine deep into their throats.

But at that moment, they felt like a thousand needles were pricking their throats.

As for Ye Qing, Wu Yong and Shen Wan'er, as if they knew they wanted to spit it out, they came up and covered their mouths without saying a word.

There is no way but to digest it forcibly!
After a few deep breaths, the feeling of pain and happiness suddenly came to my head.

They first felt that their internal organs were burning, and then a warm current flooded their whole body. It is true that anyone who is physically weak and has cold hands and feet can instantly heat up his hands and feet, which is better than ginseng ganoderma.

After a while, there was a slight sweat on their foreheads, and they were completely used to this feeling.

That kind of wonderful feeling is like having a dragon flying in the chest!
Even though holding the spittoon is uncomfortable now, I still miss that feeling!

If it will be so uncomfortable for a while after drinking, instead of drinking one cup, it is better to drink three cups in a row, so that this happy feeling will be more intense and long-lasting!
"Uh!!!"

Just after the two reminisced about the good night after drinking last night, they suddenly smelt of alcohol, and they buried their heads in the spittoon again.

"When drinking, it is the dragon flying in the chest, and the next morning, it is the dragon that is angry in the stomach!"

"Unfortunate!"

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang clutched his stomach and opened the door, and saw a waiter pushing a dining cart, on which was breakfast for two people, including two cups of milk, two boiled eggs, and two white flour steamed buns with pickles.

The shop waiter said: "Master Wu said that it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable in the morning. It's the same for the first time you drink 'Erguotou', and it's the same for him who just started drinking it. Just drink it a few more times."

"You guys drink up the milk first, and your stomach will be healed soon."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he knew that the breakfast was arranged by Wu Yong, the county prime minister.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma swallowed the milk in one gulp in doubt, and it didn't take long for them to feel comfortable.

The feeling of vomiting is gone, let alone, I can still have a good breakfast!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Look how thoughtful Wu Yong is, unlike that pissed-off bastard Ye Qing, who will piss us off as well!"

Empress Ma smiled lightly and said, "Do you think Wu Yong did it?"

"This breakfast is specially arranged by Ye Qing, who will only be angry with you besides being angry with you."

"It's just that he is a maverick, even if he cares about people, he won't say it out loud!"

"It's as if he is obviously a greedy person for the people, but he always only emphasizes that he is greedy, and never says that he is for the people!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he was replaying last night's experience at the gate tower of the Zhongmen Gate of Yanmen Pass, where he had an overview of the overall situation.

He saw the night warrior standing alone in the darkness guarding the light, and saw their unrepentant smiles.

They don't need people's applause, they don't need their eyes of praise, they just need people to enjoy this hard-won night of celebration while they don't know they exist.

At the same time, he thought of the time when they were caught by the secret agents as spies.

It is indeed extremely hateful, but when he first arrived, he ignored the special situation at the border and asked about the military situation everywhere, and it was indeed his own fault.

But it is also enough to see that these night warriors have worked hard for more than a day or two!

And how did these night warriors come from?

It is this maverick who always only emphasizes that he is greedy, but never mentions that he was founded by Lord Ye Qingye for the sake of the people.

It is enough to see that he is such a 'Night Warrior' who doesn't care what other people think and only wants a clear conscience!
At the same time, he thought of Ye Qing's original intention of inviting him to drink last night.

It was because he said something like 'uneducated, yet incisive' that Ye Qing invited him to drink.

Please drink last night, send someone to sober up this morning, and explain such a thing?

What is this for?
This must be for him to accept and get used to it, so that he can safely and boldly have a drink with Ye Qing in the future!

"It's from the heart. Do you regard our Master Guo as a friend?"

"It's finally over!"

"."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed immediately.

But then, he felt that something was wrong again. He, an emperor, would be happy because he was recognized by a seventh-rank county magistrate?
This is somewhat unreasonable, and I feel like putting the cart before the horse!

"wrong,"

"We are not happy because he is recognized, we are happy because he is about to go to the capital, kneel at our feet, smash the floor!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his proud head again.

Still the same sentence, whether he, Ye Qing, is ordered to go to the capital to kowtow to him, depends on whether today's mu yield is really what he said at the beginning.

If it is true as he said at the beginning, it can reach six to seven hundred catties, and it depends on whether he is honest in paying taxes and whether he will take a bite of the agricultural tax.

If he, Ye Qing, dared to take a bite out of the agricultural tax, then Zhu Yuanzhang would rather never drink this wine again in his life, and he would kill Ye Qing quickly and accurately!
After half an hour,

Zhu Yuanzhang and his group arrived at the gate of the county government office, but he had quite a big opinion on Ye Qing's pomp.

In the low-key carriage at the back, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in front of him, and his face was longer than that of a horse: "Look at the pomp of his travels, he almost caught up with Lao Tzu's dragon robe travel."

"Such an extravagant carriage, surrounded by hundreds of government servants with knives, and the imperial envoys hunting on behalf of the heavens in the drama, it's not as grand as this!"

"There is also a cart of fruits, kung fu tea sets, and tents behind his carriage?"

"What is he going for?"

"It's simply beyond the norm and extravagant!"

"."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, Empress Ma also felt helpless in her heart.

When eating breakfast, she also saw his affection for Ye Qing from her Chongba's expression.

It didn't take long for this good feeling to be gone, it really came and went quickly!
Thinking of this, Empress Ma just looked at the direction of the rice field where the farmers planted rice seedlings.

I just hope it is really a miraculous harvest scene!

As the saying goes, the general will not accept the orders of the emperor, but that is only for the defeated general!

This sentence is the same here, as long as it is a bumper harvest, this 'crime of extravagance and transgression in front of the emperor' can be ignored!

Finally, Ye Qing walked out from the county government gate.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, Ye Qing was wearing a green official uniform, and the patch with the '鸂鶒' pattern on his front was enough to show his status as a mere seventh rank.

But Shen Wan'er, the beautiful and beautiful butler next to him, has an outfit that is more expensive than a princess, and the outfits of the two maids with slender hands are also more expensive than the wife of a first-rank official.

"My lord, please get in the car!"

In front of Ye Qing, Wu Yong, who was wearing an eighth-rank official uniform with a 'quail' pattern on his chest patch, saluted.

While getting into the carriage, Ye Qing glanced at the carriage behind him from the corner of his eye.

He only saw Master Guo inside looking at him, almost writing the word 'dissatisfaction' in his eyes.

He is very satisfied with Master Guo's extremely unpleasant reaction, and this effect is what he wants.

"set off!"

After Wu Yong got on his horse, he just gave an order and headed for the plain rice field.

Just when the wheels started to roll, Zhu Yuanzhang closed the curtain fiercely.

Inside the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his chest heaved obviously: "I only have one wife when I go out, so he is also a housekeeper and a maid when I go out?"

"If I bring these three concubines, the officials and common people won't put the hat of licentiousness on our heads?"

"It's good for him. The people here not only don't label him licentious, but also feel that he deserves and deserves all of this."

Empress Ma just watched her family get angry from the side, but she always felt that he was not only angry, but also jealous!

After Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, Empress Ma gently held Chongba's hand: "Chongba, how can you think so?"

"What you should think about is, why does the people of this side think he deserves and deserves what he did?"

"And why do you do this, the people and the officials will call you licentious and immoral every day?"

"Everything in this world happens for a reason!"

"Think about the paper murmuring drum that you smashed. He turned a place that was so poor that it couldn't even repair the drum into a prosperous place today."

"There is no credit that can exceed making the people live well. An official who makes the people laugh all the time naturally deserves and deserves it!"

"Remember what he said to you for a long time, 'You want the horse to run without feeding the horse'?"

"He's just a horse that runs fast enough and eats enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little better after hearing such words.

But following him, Zhu Yuanzhang's thought that one should be as clean as water is deep-rooted, and it cannot be completely eradicated with a few words of enlightenment.

Even with Queen Ma's earnest enlightenment, he only felt a little better.

But he also knew the reason why the emperor would be called licentious and immoral if he did this.

Just because there are still a lot of people worrying about two meals a day on the territory under his jurisdiction!
If one day, the entire Ming Dynasty is like this Yanmen County, even if he creates a wine pool and meat forest, no one will say that he is licentious and immoral, only that he deserves it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of expectations for Ye Qing again.

I only hope that the new rice varieties he researched by Ye Qing will have such a high yield, and he will be able to promote Ye Qing to the imperial court if he actually pays the agricultural tax!
Today, he can basically confirm that Ye Qing has not been involved in important military and political affairs.

As long as he witnesses the miracle of high yield today, as long as he gets a satisfactory agricultural tax from Yanmen after returning home, Ye Qing is at least a third-rank Beijing official!
But just when Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out and stopped keeping a stern face, Empress Ma became serious.

Empress Ma asked solemnly and softly: "Your Majesty, isn't it enough for you to bring a wife with you?"

"Did we ever say that?"

"Sister, did you hear wrong because you didn't sleep well last night?"

"What we said clearly is that we just want to bring you a wife!"

Empress Ma just smiled and pretended to be skeptical, "Is it true that the concubine got it wrong?"

"It must be, we are the emperor who promises everything, can we still lie to you?"

"."

After half an hour,
Zhu Yuanzhang and his party stood on the field road again.

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was shocked!
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
