The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182 Master Ye Wants Civil and Military Catch Hands, Zhu Yuanzhang Gets Angry Because of Three Small Targets!
"This Cao Cao can't say it, and this Cao thief can't think about it either!"

Ye Qing sat on the chair, looked out of the door, and said this sentence in response to the situation.

For the sudden arrival of this voice, Ye Qing was not shocked, he never doubted the Ming Dynasty's reaction speed to the military situation.

He knew that if the court's reply didn't arrive today, it would definitely arrive tomorrow morning.

He just thought it was a coincidence, just as he was wondering whether Xu Da could use his strategy to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, the military order of the Ministry of War, and Xu Da's reply all arrived.

Of course, he thought that the Ministry of War would have a corresponding reply, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would issue an edict alone, let alone that such a powerful person as Xu Da would have time to reply to his letter.

Ye Qing, as a person who has seen the world for nine lifetimes in ancient times, is absolutely not flattered, but thinks that Xu Da is a very good person.

If he is not in a hurry to go home, he is still willing to make friends with Xu Da!
It's a pity that not long after the victory, Ye Qing will die in this era, and he and Xu Da are just 'pen pals' of this era after all!
Just when Ye Qing felt sorry for this matter, the travel-worn postman knelt down in front of him on one knee, and presented three well-sealed envelopes with both hands!

When Ye Qing took the envelope, he also took a look at the postman whose face and neck were covered in dust and sweat, and who was extremely jealous: "Go to the cashier to receive the reward!"

After the post soldiers thanked excitedly, they went straight to the account room under the leadership of the yamen servant.

And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting next to Ye Qing, tried his best to conceal his curiosity, but he couldn't help but tilt his head and stretch his neck.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the backer behind Ye Qing's proposal to become Ming's Northern Expedition strategy, he knew the general idea without looking.

What he was curious about was not the content of the letter, what he was curious about was whether Ye Qing dared to open all three envelopes.

Xu Da's reply letter to him must be read by him, there is nothing wrong with that!
But he shouldn't read the military orders of the Ministry of War, nor should he read the edict issued by Zhu Biao in his name!
As Ye Qing's parents in a county, he is indeed responsible for all affairs in the county, but all edicts issued by the imperial court related to military affairs should be directly reported to the corresponding generals.

How could they all come to him in one go?
"Could it be that he is the actual controller of the Yanmen garrison?"

"."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly again, but there was no obvious killing intent in his eyes anymore.

Things have come to this, the enemy is now, no matter what he finds, he has to wait until after the battle is over.

Even if Ye Qing must die, he has to wait until the battle is over!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking secretly, Ye Qing glanced at him and said: "Are these things you should see?"

"The most you can read is Xu Shuai's reply, and you can't read anything else."

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded and turned around. At the same time, he also thought to himself: "I know what I wrote even if I don't read it. Even if it is Xu Da's reply, I also know what he wrote. .”

"No, I shouldn't watch it, and you shouldn't even watch it. If you dare to watch it, I will definitely,"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang secretly made up his mind, there were hurried footsteps outside and the obvious sound of nails rubbing against each other.

"Meet Master Ye!"

"."

Although the four generals did not kneel down, they faced Ye Qing and clasped their fists together as a military salute.

Ye Qing's attitude towards the four generals is much better than his attitude towards Master Guo, a part-time imperial envoy.

It doesn't mean to be too polite, but basic politeness is still necessary, after all, the four generals are all commanders of the fourth-rank guards, and they are also the superiors of Ye Qing, a mere seventh-rank county magistrate, in name.

It's just that according to the regulations, civil and military personnel perform their own duties, and the difference in grade between civil and military personnel does not represent affiliation. However, after a subordinate official sees a superior official, they must have the etiquette they should have!

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it was completely reversed. The generals of the fourth rank were the first to salute the civil servants of the seventh rank?

No matter how polite Ye Qing is, he still feels something is wrong, no matter how you look at it, think in the direction he doesn't want to think!

After Ye Qing called the four generals to sit down, he immediately introduced the temporary general Guo next to him.

The four generals were all experts. After seeing the display on the sand table, they also clasped fists at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"All right,"

"Those who should be known have also been known, and those who should have arrived have also arrived."

Ye Qing said this, and continued: "Since everyone is here, let's decide on the next deployment strategy."

"Of course, before doing this, we must determine the main defender of the Yanmen Garrison."

"I am on good terms with the four generals, and the four generals also recognize me, so I will do my part."

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he sat on the handsome seat regardless of how the people present reacted.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the envelope containing the military order issued by the Ministry of War and was about to open it.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when Ye Qing tore open a small hole, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed his hand.

in the eyes of all,
Ye Qing looked at Master Guo in front of him, and said in surprise: "General Guo, what do you mean?"

Except that Zhu Yuanzhang was a bit out of line, his facial expression was serious, and there were no other words.

But in the depths of his heart, it has already swept like a raging wave: "What's the point?"

"We finally know that Wu Yong, who has always been very polite to us, pulled us off the handsome seat. It turned out that it was for his family, Mr. Ye?"

"You really dare to be a civilian official!"

"If you really do this, after this battle, no matter whether you win or lose, it will be your kid's death!"

"We're saving your life."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry, but he was also very contradictory.

Sometimes, he really wished he could act as the executioner in person with the respect of the emperor. If he didn't execute the execution himself, he would really not be able to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But sometimes, he was shocked by Ye Qing's talent, touched by Ye Qing's deeds.

Whether it is his political achievements for the happiness of the people or his efforts to improve the survival chances of soldiers, it is enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang feel unbearable.

But the bottom line is the bottom line after all, and he must stick to it.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't read many books and classics, but he was familiar with history. He knew what it meant for civil servants to hold soldiers.

He will definitely not let this common phenomenon of weak Song Dynasty appear in his Ming Dynasty.

Leaving aside this historical phenomenon, let's just talk about Ye Qing. If Ye Qing is allowed to be a civil servant in charge of the army smoothly, then Zhu Yuanzhang will really punish Ye Qing for the crime of "no man is guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade". .

There is no other reason,

If he is such a rich, well-fed, and popular man who still holds military power, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to sleep.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to lose such a talent, and he didn't want to have a sharp sword hanging over his head all the time, so he decided to give Ye Qing a hand, which fulfilled himself and brought Ye Qing back from hell.

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Lord Ye, you cannot sit here, let alone read the orders issued by the court to the generals."

"You provide the generals with a combat command room, and it's okay for you to help the generals collect the military orders of the court, but you can't be the chief general, let alone read these military orders."

"It's His Majesty's taboo for civil servants not to command soldiers. If His Majesty finds out about what you do, you won't be able to survive no matter you win or lose."

Ye Qing was very satisfied after listening to such a rhetoric.

This is what he wants!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing didn't intend to step aside at all, instead he leaned on the back of the chair, with a look that should be taken for granted: "General Guo, isn't Your Majesty too pedantic?"

"What's wrong with civil servants in charge of soldiers? Fan Zhongyan can rule the world with writing, protect the environment with martial arts, Xin Qiji can govern a party with writing, and charge forward with martial arts. He is the most capable literati in history!"

"Furthermore, Gao Shi, a frontier poet in the Tang Dynasty, was able to become a real feudal marquis and general. Although I am a civil servant, I also have a heart for civil and military affairs!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and retorted: "How can you use an example to explain things?"

"For thousands of years, there has only been one Fan Zhongyan, one Xin Qiji, and one Gao Shi. Individual examples will never represent anything!"

"It is a common phenomenon that is not uncommon in history!"

"No, what did you just say, you have always had a heart of civil and military grasp?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang realized the point of this speech, the eyes that looked directly at Ye Qing were full of surprise.

If it were another person, there would be absolutely no chance to say it again, but he hoped that Ye Qing could say it again.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang hoped so much, Ye Qing said firmly: "It is true that a single example cannot represent the general image, but just because it is an example, its existence cannot be denied!"

"As for the desire to be caught by civil and military officials, I have always had it. Otherwise, why would I spend so much money on them?"

"I not only poured most of the money I was greedy into, but also spent time training these generals. If I don't want to catch them in civil and military affairs, what am I trying to do?"

"The official's goal is actually very small and very few. It is nothing more than the three small goals of 'having money can make ghosts grind, having food can make people worship me, and having soldiers can make me feel at ease'!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was numb.

He Ye Qing still really dare to say it!
These three goals are still small?
The combination of these three goals, even in the era of Song Renzong, could make Emperor Renzong ruthless.

The reason is very simple, just because the servants feel at ease, but the emperor has to worry all day long.

Thinking of this, although Zhu Yuanzhang still tried his best to keep his expression calm, his heart was already filled with killing intent.

But at this moment, he realized another important point.

"You train them?"

"You, a civil servant in your twenties, train these fourth-rank military generals?"

Ye Qing didn't answer this question directly, he just smiled lightly and made a gesture to invite the generals to answer for him!
