The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 171 Capture Zhu Yuanzhang's strong man and let the emperor serve as an army. Master Ye must use the Jade Seal of the Kingdom to continue his life!

after lunch,

Under the archway that says "Welcome to Yanmen", Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, who came in relaxed clothes, loaded up with ten carts of goods.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, he has basically mastered the total rice production data of Yanmen County, he just needs to go back and wait for Ye Qing's agricultural tax to arrive.

As soon as the agricultural tax arrives, he can decide whether Ye Qing should be promoted or be stripped according to the amount of the agricultural tax!
Of course, apart from this matter, he had to hurry back and preside over the overall situation.

Even though he knows that as soon as Ye Qing's military situation arrives, Zhu Biao will definitely send Xu Da to lead troops to help, and Hu Weiyong and the others will definitely do their best.

Although the imperial power and prime minister are competing secretly, they still have the bottom line that does not endanger the security of the military and the country.

But he still wanted to go back sooner. After all, it was a major military matter, and he still felt a little worried if he didn't go back to sit in charge.

under the archway,

After Ye Qing watched them leave the south gate, he turned around decisively and went back home immediately.

Because from this moment on, he has no leisure time.

Now that he has decided to command this defensive battle, he has to do a good job of "General Ye" at the end. This is a perfect ending for himself, and it can be regarded as a comfort to the four mentors.

In the Ming Dynasty, he was still fighting for the Han family, and the four of them should feel relieved.

Just when Ye Qing returned to the combat command room and was about to start various deployments, Wu Yong immediately realized a problem.

Wu Yong suggested: "My lord, I think that you shouldn't let them go back."

Ye Qing sat in front of the desk, writing his "General Outline of Yanmen Defensive War Strategy and Tactics" in a smooth manner, and asked casually, "Why?"

Wu Yong immediately said: "In addition to being imperial merchants, they are also part-time imperial envoys who can talk to your majesty and your empress. Your Excellency is absolutely fine. On the grounds that Mr. Guo has some skills, force him to be your general."

"To put it bluntly, it is to witness your ability to command operations!"

"After the big victory, you have paid so much agricultural tax as it is, and you have made such military achievements. If you make meritorious service both civil and military, isn't promotion a certainty?"

"Thousands of attempts to get caught are not as great as the contribution to high agricultural yields and successful defense against the enemy!"

"Not only does he have a lot of credit, but it's also hard not to get promoted!"

Hearing this, Ye Qing immediately stopped the pen in his hand, and at the same time his eyes lit up.

It is impossible for him to pay the tax truthfully, and the reason why he said this to Wu Yong is just to fool him.

It is certain that he will take a serious bite on the agricultural tax. Although this is already very courting, it is entirely possible to add some more mortal culpability.

He built 120 more cannons, which is a mortal crime, but it is only a capital crime under the Ming law.

So far, he has not violated the capital crime in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart!

The capital crime in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty of pregnant jade"!
He, Ye Qing, in this one-third of an acre of land, can be said to have wealth, the hearts of the people, the spirit of the army, and food!

If Zhu Yuanzhang knows that he still has the ability to lead troops to fight, and has the ability and ability to use these resources to rebel, that is an absolute crime of death!
The death penalty in the Ming law, coupled with the death penalty in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, is really dead.

He didn't believe it anymore. At that time, he still hadn't received a death decree or a death sentence?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately nodded and said: "You are very reasonable, go chase them back!"

Just when Wu Yong crossed the threshold, Ye Qing immediately stopped him again: "It's better for me to go in person, it's somewhat difficult for me to go in person, I'd like to be more sincere."

A moment later, Ye Qing led more than 100 yamen servants, plus more than 100 patrolling soldiers, and chased them out on fast horses.

And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already stepped up to respond to Tianfu's official way, also realized a problem.

It was Ye Qing who suggested that Xu Da should not come to Yanmen County and go directly to Kai Pingwei.

Because of Ye Qing's meddling in the affairs of Haozhou City, all the Huaixi nobles had their relatives cut off, so he became the public enemy of the Huaixi nobles.

I'm afraid that when Xu Da puts forward this proposal in court, he will encounter considerable obstacles. He must send the letter he wrote to Zhu Biao back immediately.

After Zhu Biao read his letter, he would naturally sing along with Xu Da tacitly!
Yes,

When Ye Qing asked him to write a letter to Xu Da, he repeatedly emphasized that when he asked Xu Da to propose in the court, he must not mention the word "Ye Qing", as it was Xu Da's own idea.

But he also knew that Xu Da was not a person who would covet the credit of others.

Not to mention how good Ye Qing's suggestion is, just based on the word 'Guo Rui', Xu Da will consider this suggestion again and again.

Once Xu Da decides to propose to the court, he will never say that this is his idea, he will definitely let the word Ye Qing be heard by all civil and military officials in the court.

In this way, it will be even more difficult to make this suggestion a strategy for the Northern Expedition!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took out the letter from Ye Qing to Zhu Biao that he carried on his back last night.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the curtain of the car and said to Mao Xiang, who was riding beside him: "Arrange two people to deliver this letter to the prince quickly, and you must hand it to the prince himself."

After Mao Xiang received the letter, he felt a little bit difficult.

Because in addition, he only had thirteen guards, and ten of them were driving the horse-drawn cart, that is, he and two other people were riding the guards.

If the two of them were allowed to run ahead of time, he would be the only one left with a light guard, but he was worried about sending letters on long-distance horses by himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang also saw Mao Xiang's thoughts, and he directly said seriously: "It's okay, we are not vegetarians."

After Mao Xiang heard this, he didn't say anything more, and directly handed the letter to those two people.

Those two people just looked back and bowed, and then left in the dust!

But just when the two of them completely disappeared from sight, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from behind.

"alert!"

Mao Xiang just gave an order, and the ten Jinyiwei who were driving horse-drawn carts stopped the carriage directly, pulled out the sabers around their waists, and all surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage.

"Look, you guys are nervous, don't you know me?"

Seeing that Ye Qing was chasing after him, Mao Xiang smiled and asked everyone to quickly put away their sabers.

But when everyone put their swords into their sheaths, he felt that something was wrong. Even if Mr. Ye wanted to send them away, he wouldn't bring so many yamen servants and soldiers with him!

But it was too late, these people had already surrounded them all with no murderous face.

After the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang also put away his saber and got out of the carriage with Queen Ma.

Looking at this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned all of a sudden, because he knew that it was definitely not as simple as going out of the city to send him off.

This posture is a bit like a black-hearted businessman who eats money and comes to eat goods, but he doesn't doubt that Ye Qing is this kind of person at all!
Finally, he thought of the reason for Ye Qing's sudden pursuit.

"Lord Ye,"

"You are a yamen servant and a soldier. You are afraid that we will be robbed halfway, and you want to send it to Taiyuan Mansion?"

"You worry too much, the kung fu of our dozen or so people is not low!"

"You'd better go back and do your work early!"

"The generals are busy deploying defenses, so you have to let the supplies keep up, don't you?"

"When we return to Yingtian and do business well, we must also find an opportunity to meet His Majesty and Empress, and report all your good things truthfully!"

"You are here to help defend the city, and then pay the agricultural tax without compromise."

"As long as you satisfy His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely give you a promotion!"

When talking about the seven words "will definitely let you get promoted", Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately increased his tone by three points.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Empress Ma also added with a smile.

After they finished speaking, Ye Qing smiled lightly and said: "You two, you have misunderstood me."

"My official trip is not to send you to Taiyuan Mansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were surprised almost at the same time: "What is that for?"

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing got off his horse immediately, walked straight in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and directly did something that in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, would never happen if the sun didn't come out from the west.

Ye Qing folded his hands in front of his body, perpendicular to the ground, bowed slightly, and made a formal salute to the Han family.

This is not a subordinate worshiping a boss, this is a formal meeting ceremony of the Han family!
Of course, it can also be a greeting to invite others!
Although it was just a simple meeting and greeting ceremony, it was enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang unable to find the north.

One must know that in front of Ye Qing, he is not the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but a lowly businessman, Mr. Guo.

It is only heard that merchants salute officials, how can there be any reason for officials to salute merchants?

Or is the official chasing out of the city to salute?
Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out, even Empress Ma was in a daze.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure out why, he still felt very comfortable, and even felt a little "flattered".

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled hurriedly, supported Ye Qing's arms with both hands and said, "Why is Master Ye like this?"

Ye Qing said sincerely: "Master Guo used to be His Majesty's personal soldier, and he also led soldiers to fight in battles. I have seen big scenes. I would like to invite Master Guo to stay and temporarily serve as my general."

"We need your experience!"

Seeing Ye Qing's sincerity, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a beauty!
This is how people are. After being rude for a long time, if you treat him a little more politely, he will be beautiful.

Of course, what made Zhu Yuanzhang most happy was that what he said was tantamount to directly praising him for leading troops in battle.

Just being Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldier can become a general, which is enough to show that in Ye Qing's heart, although Zhu Yuanzhang has many shortcomings, he is still very capable of leading troops to fight.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing in front of him, and felt much more pleasing to the eye.

He really wanted to accept Ye Qing's invitation, and as Master Guo, take over the job of this temporary general!

But he can't do this, he has to go back and preside over the overall situation!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang began to find excuses to decline as Master Guo.

In this way, in front of everyone, Ye Qing sincerely invited three times, and Zhu Yuanzhang politely declined three times.

But at this moment, Ye Qing immediately changed his face.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, after Ye Qing got on his horse, he turned into Master Ye who looked at people with his nostrils.

Ye Qing just looked at Wu Yong who was next to him and said, "Assaulting an official of the imperial court without reason, what is the crime according to the law?"

Wu Yong clasped his hands and said, "Master Hui, beheaded according to the law!"

Ye Qing just frowned: "I'm not satisfied with this punishment, let's say it again."

Wu Yong just rolled his eyes, then cupped his hands again and said, "Return to your lord, and serve as an army according to the law!"

Hearing such a reply, Ye Qing turned his horse's head, and when the horse's butt was aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he gave an order: "Then what are you waiting for, tie the army."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing drove away immediately.

After the dust dissipated, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened immediately, he finally figured out what Ye Qing was here for.

He's here to pull a strong man!
There is also a trick: courtesy first, soldiers first, literature first, martial arts first?

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang fully reacted, the yamen servants and soldiers began to act.

Wu Yong walked up to Empress Ma and said, "Mrs. Guo, don't tie me up, get in the carriage!"

"."

In a short while,
Zhu Yuanzhang and his party even brought goods with them, but they all turned back.

Wu Yong also repeatedly assured that he would never be greedy for their goods, and would definitely keep them safe, just like helping criminals keep their personal belongings in prison. Criminals return them after they are released from prison, and they return them after the war.

It's just that Master Guo toasted and refused to eat fine wine, so he, Mao Xiang and others were all tied up and put back on the back immediately.

On horseback, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and lost all strength.

Of course, he was not only angry, but also did not expect him to have such a chance.

The first time I came to Yanmen County, the emperor who visited privately in Weifu became a prisoner of labor reform!
The second time he came to Yanmen County, it was the emperor who visited in private, but was forcibly pulled by the county magistrate on trumped-up charges!

"Ye Qing,"

"You bastard!"

"You dare to pull Lao Tzu's strong man, very good, very good!"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang, with his hands tied behind his back, was sitting on the horse's back, and at the same time he was leading the horse back, he also made a vicious note on Ye Qing's 'revenge' book in his heart.

That night,

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others were able to do ideological work by Queen Ma.

First of all, Mr. Ye's kindness is hard to turn down, they can only accept this job.

Besides, here they can also witness with their own eyes whether Ye Qing has the ability to lead troops to fight.

As for the safety of the two of them, there is no need to worry at all, there is always a way out!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Empress Ma's opinion, he also said a word viciously.

"Just because he catches Lao Tzu's young man, Lao Tzu will not let him have a good time!"

"Don't say it's a defeat, even if it's a victory, but as long as you don't find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, I will make his life worse than death!"

Empress Ma immediately frowned upon hearing such a cruel remark.

Because he knew that the ruthless words of her family Chongba were not just a simple ruthless word.

If she can't find Chuan Guo Yuxi, her family Chongba will really trouble Ye Qing, and it will be a terrible trouble.

On this matter, she can't persuade her at all, and she really shouldn't persuade her.

Ye Qing really went too far, he even dared to catch the emperor's young man!
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, and please support the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, thank you!
