The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 236 Mr. Ye was already anxious to reincarnate, but Zhu Yuanzhang found out the truth. Life and death depended on the prince’s thoughts!
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang looked expectantly in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang out of the corner of her eye with praise.

She had always known that although her Chongba had a bad temper, he was definitely a considerate person.

Especially when it comes to state affairs, he is often more considerate than her.

She had been helping Miss Shen with the accounting these days, not to mention the detailed and tedious matters, and almost all of her thoughts were focused on Ye Qing.

But this 'Master Guo', who had been so angry at Ye Qing for a long time, was so careful that he even plotted against his own son.

It was only after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous words that she realized the whole process of Zhu Yuanzhang's scheme against Zhu Biao.

As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been pulled out of his prime, sent people back to report that he was safe, he had a comprehensive plan to plot against Zhu Biao.

Yes,

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that after his son knew that he was here, he would definitely send someone to observe secretly and be ready for support at any time.

In other words, Yanmen Pass has never been at risk of being breached. He, Zhu Yuanzhang, had already arranged the final guarantee for Yanmen Pass through this method!

As an emperor, he would not use the safety of the country and the people to verify an official's ability!

This is also the bottom line that Zhu Yuanzhang will not lose even if he is so angry that Ye Qing completely loses his sense of proportion!

As for why he didn't directly order Zhu Biao to do this, that was too simple.

Just because Zhu Biao's real teachers were never those famous scholars in the world, but his biological father, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

As his father and mentor, Zhu Yuanzhang fully believed that Zhu Biao, as his eldest son and close disciple, had this filial heart and imperial mind!
Thinking of this, Queen Ma couldn't help but worry about Ye Qing.

Faced with such an emperor who was thoughtful, adhered to the bottom line, and had a hot temper, she was really not sure how long Ye Qing could live with his behavior of 'bullying' Mr. Guo intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if he didn't make a principled mistake, there was no guarantee that he would die from his own mouth at any time, and it would still be the kind of thing that she, Ma Xiuying, couldn't save.

But at the same time, she is also looking forward to a future.

She was looking forward to how Ye Qing would react when he faced Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma Xiuying, and Prince Zhu Biao after entering the court.

Is it true, as he said, that if you hold your head high, your knees will not be weak, or is it that if you talk too hard now, your knees will be weak in the future?
At that time, no one can say for sure!
But in her opinion, Queen Ma, the chance that a tough talk now will lead to a tough knee in the future is less than one in [-]!

Therefore, she hopes to win this battle and become No. 1 in the country with a huge gap when filing taxes after the war!
At that time, with both civil and military achievements, it would be impossible for him, Ye Qing, to appear in the court!

But just when Empress Ma was making such calculations, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not touched a woman for a long time, made his wishful thinking again on her sister.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and held Queen Ma's hands, which had gone through many trials and tribulations, but in his opinion were the most beautiful. Then he said with a gentle evil smile: "Sister, let's let more than 1000 remnant soldiers go back. This is really a blessing." He will protect his king and his army."

"Our plan not only bought time for the Yanmen garrison, but also bought time for Xu Da to detour outside the pass and rush for reinforcements. It also prevented Wang Baobao from fighting again for a short time."

"We have come up with this plan of killing three birds with one stone, why don't you express your gratitude?"

Queen Ma naturally knew what he was thinking, and she also understood that it was a wife's duty.

It's just that her health is not good, and her family Chongba is too energetic, and she really can't stand the torment. She still wants to live for two more years, and accompany her family Chongba for two more years!

But she also knew that blind rejection would only break this man's heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who now has a harem, still puts all his love on her as his first wife, and she is very content and grateful.

Thinking of this, Queen Ma couldn't bear to refuse.

Empress Ma just rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily: "This is your world, shouldn't you?"

"Anyone in this world can take credit, but you can't and there is no way to take credit!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he hugged Queen Ma and said, "My sister, this is wrong. You have [-]% of this world, but we only have [-]%."

"Everyone says that the emperor is the richest in the world, but they don't know that since he became emperor, the money in his pocket has never exceeded ten taels of silver a day."

"Not to mention compared with Marshal Zhu, even General Zhu can't compare!"

"So, we must ask for credit from you. You will be rewarded tonight whether you are rewarded or not!"

Empress Ma just closed her eyes gently and said in a low voice, "I am in poor health, please show mercy to me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "In my entire life, I have killed more than a thousand people with my own hands, but the gentleness in my life belongs exclusively to Ma Xiuying."

"As for the fourth lady of Rich Master Liu's family in my memory, she is just... now."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to say the rest. Talking too much would spoil the scenery.

Of course, the more important thing is that even if he didn't say it, his sister would completely know what he was thinking, otherwise she wouldn't help him find it secretly.

After a while, the neighbors above and below the guest room on the second floor where Zhu Yuanzhang lived, that is, the young Jinyiwei boys who would work in separate shifts to stay awake at night, all frowned.

Now they only have one idea, that is, since there has been no fighting in recent days, they should go to the [Sai Guifei Club] to order some 'takeaway'.

Early the next morning,
Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Mao Xiang wore regular clothes and went straight to the dining room.

Now, not only did they consider this place to be their home, but they also understood the rules of work and rest here. They even said that they had reached a tacit understanding with the maids who served Ye Qing's house.

When it was time for dinner, one party was too lazy to invite the other party, so the other party came by himself.

In the dining room of Ye Qing's mansion, the maid also prepared five sets of bowls and chopsticks on the large round table. In addition to Ye Qing and the housekeeper Miss Shen, they also belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for the county magistrate Wu Yong, he naturally would not come here for no reason.

If the county magistrate does not take up the county government affairs, how can he, Ye Qing, the county magistrate, live a leisurely life!

Just after Zhu Yuanzhang and the other three took their seats, they heard the voices of Ye Qing and Shen Waner.

After breakfast, Ye Qing directly took out a memorial and put it on the table, and then said to Shen Wan'er beside him: "When you go to the county office after breakfast, remember to give this battle report to Wu Yong so that he can He arranged for a six hundred mile rush as soon as possible to report to Beijing."

But just when Shen Waner was about to pick up the memorial with a smile, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were immediately fixed on this battle report and memorial. Ye Qing asked for six hundred miles to rush to submit it to him.

This six-hundred-mile expedited scene had to be completed, but he wanted to see it now.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled hurriedly and said: "Master Ye, can we take a look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about how to persuade Ye Qing next. After all, not everyone could see this, and it was reasonable to be rejected.

But Ye Qing didn't even think about it and said directly: "Look!"

Regarding Ye Qing's unusually generous performance, Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them felt that it was a bit illogical, but they also looked forward to it even more.Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even think about it, he just picked it up and started reading.

Contents of the battle report: "Your Majesty:"

"Our Yanmen garrison won the first battle. On the east and west gate battlefields, we wiped out 580 enemies outside the city, killed 650 enemy horses, and captured 340 horses."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he also felt incredible. Others were careful when writing battle reports that were accurate to a hundred people, but he was accurate to single digits?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at Ye Qing and asked: "You asked someone to count the results of the battle last night, so detailed?"

Ye Qing just said it as a matter of course: "Of course it has to be detailed. As an excellent minister, you must be rewarded as much as you do, and you must not suffer any losses!"

Empress Ma frowned slightly when she heard Ye Qing's answer which could be said to be completely wrong or not wrong.

After Mao Xiang heard this, there was once again a look of silence in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the milk he had just drank was giving him a fever, and he was really angry early in the morning.

But he did not have an attack. He just forced a smile and said: "Master Ye is really a businessman who happens to be an official!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to read the report.

Contents of the report: "And our Yanmen garrison lost less than 300 people, and the total casualties were less than 500!"

"This is the credit of all the officers and men of our Yanmen garrison. It is the credit of the four generals who managed the army well and led the troops well, and it is also the credit of the ministers' proper management!"

"I know very well that civil servants cannot get involved in the military, so I temporarily assume the responsibility of the general in the form of advice from the military advisor!"

"This act of your Majesty's is actually an expedient act. It still formally supports your Majesty's decree that civilian officials should not be involved in the military. Therefore, your Majesty must not punish me for this. If your Majesty insists on punishing me, your Majesty will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history." People have criticized him for thousands of years.”

"That's all I've said, I'll pay my respects to the chief minister!"

"Signed: Yanmen County Magistrate Ye Qing!"

Seeing such a battle report, not to mention Mao Xiang, even Queen Ma wanted to close her eyes and shake her head right now.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If it weren't for Ye Qing's quick hands and eyes, this battle report would have been torn in half.

"Mr. Guo, what do you mean?"

Ye Qing looked at Mr. Guo in front of him with a knowing look, his mouth trembling with anger and looking like he was about to have a stroke, and he just said it in a playful way.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more angry after hearing this.

I have the nerve to ask what you mean?

Before, I thought that Ye Qing just couldn't bear a little loss. For Zhu Yuanzhang, this was really not a big deal. At most, he could just scold him secretly that he didn't have any public spirit.

If an official with average ability dares to care about returns, not to mention moving his head, he will at least lose his virginity.

But for such a wizard, he is also willing to be a pure 'businessman' in this regard.

But he never expected that he, Ye Qing, would directly threaten him after asking for merit for the soldiers!
Ye Qing is changing his ways to serve as a civilian official in the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to turn a blind eye, so he should burn incense every day.

But Ye Qing, instead of sincerely pleading guilty and asking for forgiveness in his writing, actually dared to threaten him with the words "Be nailed to the pillar of shame of history and be criticized for thousands of years."

Seeing such a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to kill this bastard right now!
But when Ye Qing met Mr. Guo, he almost said the word "angry" on his face, and he only felt very satisfied.

This is what he wants!
Mr. Guo, who was a big fan of Zhu Yuanzhang, behaved like this. Then wouldn't Zhu Yuanzhang himself become even more angry after reading this memorial?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing asked with interest and knowledge: "Master Guo, don't look like you want to eat me alive."

"Is what I said wrong?"

"This battle is not enough to prove that although I am a civil servant, I am also talented as Sun Bin?"

"I have ensured the victory of the battle, formally complied with His Majesty's decrees, and taken care of Your Majesty's face. If I don't want him to be promoted to an official position, he should be burning incense. You still want to punish me?"

"Of course, as an excellent minister, if he dares to punish him, I have nothing to say and will definitely die happily."

"But the children and grandchildren of future generations will definitely have eyes. As the saying goes, future generations will judge whether we have good or bad merits!"

"."

The reason why Ye Qing said these words was just for the fun of arguing with others, and he didn't even try to explain them.

He didn't care about the opinions of Mr. Guo and the others. Anyway, this was actually to deepen his belief in Zhu Yuanzhang that "a common man is not guilty and he is guilty of carrying a jade", and to add a new crime of "changing the pattern of a civilian official involved in the military and threatening the emperor." Ye Qing has decided on the memorial.

But he didn't know that his strong words made Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them feel that they were rough and unreasonable.

Yes!

Ye Qing's effectiveness in leading troops and conducting battles is better than that of the generals stationed in Yanmen. This is a fact that has been laid before our eyes!

If we just abide by the law and don't make changes, it is really not worth it to kill so many soldiers in vain.

In this way, Ye Qing not only used his talents to the best of his ability, but also formally followed his laws and took care of those in front of him.

If Zhu Yuanzhang killed Ye Qing just because of this matter, thousands of years later, future generations would definitely scold him for being arbitrary and incapable of adapting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned off half of the fire, but said seriously: "Master Ye, the principle is such a principle, but you can't write it like this!"

"The same sentence, written in different ways, has different consequences!"

"The way you write it, you can't escape the crime of threatening the emperor and the crime of disrespect!"

"I advise you to write a new one. Sometimes, those clichés from rotten scholars are still very useful!"

When Ye Qing heard these words, he immediately made a decision.

He decided to directly upgrade the express service from [-] miles to a maximum of [-] miles!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing said confidently: "That's how I am. No matter what I say or do, I focus on being 'honest' and don't engage in those clichés."

Having said this, Ye Qing handed the memorial directly to Shen Wan'er and said: "Don't rush it at six hundred miles, just rush it at eight hundred miles!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and instantly remembered four words, that is 'anxious reincarnation'!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but secretly said cruelly: "Okay, very good. If you want to die, we won't stop you. I will just stare wide-eyed to see if the prince will kill you after seeing this memorial."

"."

A few days later in the afternoon,
Letters with details of the battle written by the generals who were watching the battle, and battle reports written by Ye Qing himself were placed on the desk of Hu Weiyong, the right secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China! .
