The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194 The civil servant General Xinye actually calls himself a lower official, and there are all martyrs inside and outside the Great Wall!
"I don't even want to say at the top of my lungs that Your Majesty is the most ruthless person in the world. He is obviously the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, but he cannot be the Lord of one meal!"

"I don't want to break my throat to tell you that this meal was personally approved by your sister, Mrs. Guo, my temporary second housekeeper!"

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he slowly left Mr. Guo's ears, and then just looked at him with his hands folded, while blinking with provocation in his eyes.

It can also be said that Ye Qing only had one sentence in his eyes at this moment: 'Do you still have any objections? '

In Ye Qing's eyes, Mr. Guo in front of him only had a twitch of his Adam's apple, swallowed hard, and then smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Today's meal is quite sumptuous. Let's all thank Master Ye for the hospitality."

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor in the skin of a temporary general, took the lead in thanking Ye Qing.

When Ye Qing saw Master Guo behaving like this, he nodded with a smile and whispered, "Young man, I can't cure you?"

This voice was just right. The other generals didn't hear it, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in front of Ye Qing and making a fist salute, heard every word.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say another word, he just held back a smile, but the corners of his mouth were still a little twitching when he smiled!

Immediately afterwards, all the generals smiled and thanked Ye Qing!
At this moment, many generals came in from outside, as if they were running very fast when Mr. Ye invited them to dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these generals who were quite familiar with him, and immediately knew that Ye Qing, a civilian official, entertained military generals in private not just once or twice.

The capital crime of "a civil official having an affair with a military general" was silently remembered in Ye Qing's heart.

Then, he took a closer look at the armor styles of these generals!

There were regulations for the armor of generals in the Ming Dynasty. They wore whatever style of armor they were in, but the style was not enough to completely distinguish the grades of generals.

What can really distinguish the rank of generals is the beast-headed shoulder-ton on their shoulders, and the beast-faced belly-ton on their abdomens!

The patterns on the front of the Ming Dynasty generals' court uniforms were lions of the first and second ranks, tigers of the third rank, leopards of the fourth rank, bears of the fifth rank, Biao of the sixth and seventh ranks, rhinos of the eighth rank, and seahorses of the ninth rank!

The beast head and shoulders and the beast face and belly of the general's armor also correspond to the tonic pattern!

"The four generals are the commanders of the guards, and they are the commanders of the guards. The commanders of the guards are responsible for the affairs, Qianhu?"

"There are a total of 48 generals, one commander for each guard, two commanders, four commanders, five thousand households, all of them are here?"

"How convinced is Ye Qing that they don't dare to attack at night?"

"How dare you invite all the main generals of the four Yanmen garrison to your home for dinner!"

"wrong,"

"Has he usually had an affair with all the generals of the Four Guards?"

"This is not an affair, this is a small court!"

"."

Thinking of this, although Zhu Yuanzhang smiled on the surface, in his heart he aggravated Ye Qing's crime of "a civil official having an affair with a military general".

After a while, everyone was seated.

Ye Qing, Shen Waner and two dedicated maids, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma plus Mao Xiang, as well as Wu Yong and his wife, nine people sat at the first table.

Ten temporary soldiers who were actually the Jin Yiwei elite sat at a table alone, while four generals and their subordinates filled the other five large round tables.

On the edge of the dining room, there are white wine, rice wine, wine, various squeezed juices, and several boxes of ice cubes.

In the eyes of everyone, Ye Qing stood up and said: "Tonight, everyone is open to eating and drinking. If the food and wine are not enough, we can add more at any time. The arsenal is completed, and ice cubes can be added at any time!"

"Tonight, we will not talk about military affairs, but only about food, drink and brotherhood!"

Having said this, Ye Qing picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's begin!"

After everyone stood up and drank all the wine, they began to feast and eat and drink.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone also played drinking games and even played a Ming Dynasty version of 'Truth or Dare'.

Of course, it can also be said that there are only truths and no big risks. After all, it is not modern and it is not that open yet.

It can be said that the whole dining room is full of joy!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was still worried about the night attack and was dissatisfied with Ye Qing's blatant behavior of dragging the small court, on the surface he still accompanied him to have fun!
Ye Qing didn't care whether he was really happy or fake, as long as he didn't disturb the generals from eating and drinking!
He has been a general for three lifetimes, and he knows how meaningful this meal is to the generals!

At this moment, the Yamen servant suddenly ran over and whispered to Ye Qing: "Sir, Mr. Guo's family has sent someone to look for him."

When Ye Qing heard this, he remembered that General Guo Shen was brought back by himself and he forgot to send someone to help him report that he was safe.

"Let them in!"

After the Yamen retired, two young men wearing arrow sleeves walked in soon.

The two of them were not surprised to see so many people eating and drinking. Their eyes widened in shock when they saw that all his brothers were wearing armor and that the emperor was also wearing armor.

No wonder he didn't meet him on the way. It turned out to be the emperor's general who was addicted to drugs.

Yes, in their opinion, the emperor's general had become addicted, so he turned back halfway and insisted on becoming a frontline general.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt confused. They wondered if the prince would be mad at his unreliable parents after knowing the news.

The emperor and the queen are stationed in border battlefields and still want to be generals. This is really throwing the principle of "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall" into the cesspit.

"Come on,"

"Add a seat, add bowls and chopsticks, and after you finish eating, go back to your room and talk about it yourself!"

Ye Qing just gave an order, and the maid at the door followed his orders.

Mao Xiang also winked at the ten Jinyiwei young men, and then someone pulled them over.

While they were eating and drinking together, they just exchanged a few simple words. The two Jinyiwei young men who came back to look for someone immediately knew what was going on.

They almost laughed out loud when they learned that it was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the Jinyiwei who were forcibly taken away from him.

"Don't laugh, eat and drink quickly. After you've eaten and drank enough, go back to your room and talk about it!"

The two just nodded and started eating and drinking.

In fact, they had already thought about the food in Yanmen County. If they were not in a hurry to find someone, they would definitely go to the Beef Restaurant to eat and drink before looking for someone the next morning.

After half an hour,
When Ye Qing saw that everyone couldn't eat anymore and was already drunk, he raised a glass of white wine and stood up.

Seeing Ye Qing stand up, everyone stopped talking and immediately picked up their own wine bowls.Ye Qing knew them too well, so he didn't prepare wine glasses for them at the beginning, but directly served wine bowls that were similar to "throwing bowls of wine".

Ye Qing looked at the turbid rice wine and blood-red wine inside, and said directly: "Can I have another bowl of white wine?"

Although the generals are more or less embarrassed, there is still no problem at all if they drink one or two taels of white wine.

They didn't care about dirtying the floor of Master Ye's house, so they directly poured the wine and rice wine in the bowl, and poured directly into a bowl of transparent high-quality white wine.

Although they couldn't usually buy or drink this wine, they had drank it many times at Mr. Ye's house.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were still frightened by the snacks when they poured the wine, but they couldn't help but pour more.

Although it is very painful after drinking it, the feeling after one sip is really refreshing!

Ye Qing also put down his wine glass, picked up the general's wine bowl that he missed and said, "Everyone, although I said that tonight we will only talk about food, drink and brotherhood, but now, I still want to say a few more words."

"It is estimated that it will be more than a month. I can't treat you to food and drink like this."

"Do you know why I liked to treat you to meals and drinks so much in the past, and why I was willing to spend all my hard-earned money on you?"

After the generals thought for a while, they spoke one after another: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, we will definitely be worthy of the equipment you bought for us, and we will definitely make you meritorious."

"Yes, as long as we finish this battle, we will collectively write a letter to the court to ask for your credit, and Lord Bao Ye will be promoted!"

"If a good official like Mr. Ye is not promoted, it is really because God has no discernment!"

"."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart instantly felt cold.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang felt cold in his heart was because this kind of 'forcing the palace' to ask for credit violated his taboo. His principle for treating his ministers was, 'He can give it, but his ministers cannot come and rob'!
But if they did this, they would be helping Ye Qing steal Zhu Yuanzhang!
Queen Ma looked at this scene with lingering fear. In her opinion, if these generals did this, they would definitely harm Ye Qing!

Thinking of this, Queen Ma looked at Ye Qing with her peripheral vision. Just because of Ye Qing's next words, it would decide whether he would be promoted or ascended to heaven after the war!

Ye Qing felt very pleased when he saw these generals who repaid their kindness and felt that the money was not wasted.

If Ye Qing is not in a hurry to go home and really wants to rebel, he will definitely be happy for these generals to do so.

If the generals did this collectively, although Zhu Yuanzhang would want to kill him, he would definitely listen to the generals first and give him a promotion.

With Ye Qing's ability, he will definitely develop to the point where Zhu Yuanzhang cannot kill him before Zhu Yuanzhang takes action.

However, he is tired of living the ancient life, and he really wants to go back to the modern city!
Besides, even if these things didn't happen, he didn't want these generals who were supposed to kill the enemy and serve the country to become a tool for anyone to get promoted and make money.

As the saying goes, you have to have a conscience and a certain bottom line.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just shook his head and said: "I am a businessman who demands rewards at all times, but only for you, I am not a businessman!"

"Although I am a civil servant, I also had a dream of fighting as an iron horse when I was a child!"

"So I want to let you, those of you who are brave and armed, have better swords and guns, better armor on your body, and better guns and cannons!"

"You can go home safely as much as possible!"

"Also, you must not ask for credit for me. It doesn't matter if the emperor is suspicious of me. I don't take him seriously at all, but it's not good if he is suspicious of you."

"To value literature over military affairs always begins with suspicion of generals."

"Once you value civility over military affairs, you will be close to the destruction of your dynasty and the overthrow of your family and country!"

"Do you understand?"

When the generals heard this, they realized that they were judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.

The 23-year-old Mr. Ye in front of him is a true gentleman, a gentleman who is loved by civil servants.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help laughing at themselves!
In fact, they have long thought that Mr. Ye is a gentleman whom civil servants and generals care about. If not, they would not treat this subordinate with the courtesy of a superior.

It's just that they never expected that this profiteer official would be absolutely cheating on them, and he would never ask for anything in return.

He is really the heart of a civil servant and general with no selfish motives at all!

Thinking of this, a warm current suddenly came to the eyes of these men.

"understood."

"Master Ye, we understand!"

Ye Qing looked at this scene and smiled happily and nodded.

Beside him, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at him with unexpected and admiring expressions in their peripheral vision.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he actually thought that what Ye Qing said just now, "Don't take the emperor seriously", was no big deal!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to subjectively think that Ye Qing was just a drunken boaster!

Not only that, even the crime of "a civil servant having an affair with a military commander" has faded a lot in his mind!

At this very moment,
Ye Qing continued: "After the war is over, I will still treat you to dinner here."

"But I also know that many of you will not be able to eat that meal."

"For those who cannot eat that meal, I will bury you with your ancestors and martyrs."

"It would be nice to know why the woods on Yanmen Mountain grow so well?"

"Do you know why the woods on the south side of the Great Wall are better than those on the north side?"

"Because for thousands of years, countless soldiers of the Han army have been buried there, and they have all turned into heroic spirits, forever protecting the lights of thousands of families behind them!"

"This is what I can do for you!"

Speaking of which,

Ye Qing walked up to them with a wine bowl and said: "Tomorrow morning, Wang Baobao and his 25 troops will arrive, which means they will attack the city at any time. Starting from tomorrow morning, we will officially enter war time. state!"

in the eyes of all,
Ye Qing suddenly faced the generals and performed a standard Chinese salute: "I thank you all, sir!"

Especially the word 'down official', Ye Qing said it with particular emphasis!
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
