The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 242 Mr. Ye will never work for the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has given up, and Xu Da’s army is
Chapter 242 Mr. Ye will never work for the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has given up, and Xu Da’s army is about to begin the decisive battle!
Under the candlestick in the study, Ye Qing had just refilled a cup of tea when he saw a strong man blocking the sunlight outside the door.
Looking at this middle-aged man, Ye Qing knew what he was doing without even asking.
Ye Qing just took a sip of tea leisurely, put down the teacup and asked at the same time: "I'm here to ask again, am I seeking death?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this sentence, he immediately remembered what Wu Yong said to him when he met Wu Yong.
He just wanted to know if Mr. Ye, who seemed to be looking for death, could say that he also believed that Ye Qing had done the right thing.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a straight face and said, "That's what happened."
Ye Qing just smiled lightly, then leaned forward, looked directly into the eyes of Mr. Guo in front of him, and said seriously and responsibly: "Then I said, I just want to die. Do you believe it?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ye Qing asking him this question, he felt that his intelligence had been insulted again.
To say that a beggar who has lived a miserable life is looking for death, or a girl who has just arrived at a brothel is looking for death, but a person like him who lives his life like a living god is looking for death, even a ghost would not believe it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite at all. He directly brought a chair and sat down with Ye Qing across the table.
He also imitated Ye Qing and leaned forward, looked directly into Ye Qing's eyes, and replied seriously and responsibly: "Only a ghost can believe it!"
Ye Qing sighed slightly disappointedly after hearing such a serious and responsible answer, and then leaned back on his chair, as if he was no longer interested in anything.
Difficult!
What he told was obviously the truth, but it was taken as a lie!
Ye Qing had no choice but to tell lies seriously!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing just sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, I'm just angry, and I even feel aggrieved."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened immediately. He really wanted to curse.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's inner world, Zhu Yuanzhang in black pointed directly at Ye Qing's nose and yelled: "You are using my face to flatter me, and the Queen is interceding for you. I can only hold it in, and have to suffer from someone thousands of miles away." Nizi is so angry, I didn’t say that I was wronged, so you still have the nerve to say that?”
"I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person like you!"
"."
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang released his clenched fist under the table.
Immediately afterwards, he said relatively calmly: "Master Ye, what you said is too much. It's not like we haven't read your memorial before. You threaten Your Majesty with 'the pillar of shame of history'. If Your Majesty doesn't kill you, you Everyone should thank God for his grace."
"Not only did His Majesty not kill you, but he also issued a decree to praise you, and even promised you a future future."
"Fortunately, you are not an official in the Yuan Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty. When you meet such an eternal benevolent gentleman who repays evil with kindness, you should wake up laughing even when you fall asleep. What else are you angry about?"
"As for the word grievance, it's pure nonsense!"
Ye Qing just raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, 'I will not do it even if I am asked to die as an official in the Yuan Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing once again said seriously: "Did I tell lies?"
"Judging from the casualties, my command of the battle is the best result for our soldiers. By using the name of such a military advisor, isn't this a formal compliance with the law that civilian officials should not be involved in the military?"
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. You must know how to be flexible at all times!"
"If His Majesty kills me for this matter, do you think he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history? I will tell the truth, why not?"
"He can clearly see the essence of my memorial, which only shows that he is not blind, so I don't need to thank God for any favor!"
Speaking of this, Ye Qing also complained secretly in his heart: "Why didn't I know that Zhu Yuanzhang is so tolerant?"
Immediately afterwards, he continued: "I develop the local economy, increase local agricultural production, and also give money to improve the level of garrison armament, but what did he do to me?"
"This imperial edict of his is, to put it bluntly, a blank check, which is to say, it's a big deal. It's a victory in the first battle, but it doesn't have any sincerity."
"Reward based on meritorious service based on civil and military achievements?"
"What can he reward me for?"
"In addition to the broken crown and the broken dragon chair, I have what he has, and I have what he doesn't have. What he enjoys is commonplace to me, and what he doesn't enjoy, I enjoy every day!"
"After reaching this point in my career, I am no longer interested in money. What I want is to be promoted to a higher official position and leave my name in history!"
"The Ming Dynasty has regulations that civil servants can only be earls at most. This is just a disguised form of not allowing civil servants to enter the ranks of nobility!"
"And what I, Ye Qing, want is to be granted the title of Duke as a civilian!"
"Based on the achievements I, Ye Qingjiu, have made so far, I must at least start as a marquis!"
"With my talent, Ye Qing, I will at least be on an equal footing with Xu Da in the future!"
"."
Ye Qing just made it up randomly, but it was a principle anyway.
He just wants to do whatever is excessive and lawless in front of Mr. Guo, who can talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.
He never expected that such a rebellious memorial would be rewarded with such high praise.
To be honest, if his purpose of seeking death is put aside, he is really flattered that he can get such praise for his rebellion against Zhu Yuanzhang. No matter what his purpose is, he can shout "Who else" exists.
But the problem is that he is looking forward to being sentenced to death every day, and looking forward to going home as soon as possible, but this Zhu Yuanzhang is just unethical!
He was indeed not wronged, but he was really angry!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing continued to say in front of Mr. Guo: "I am doing this to tell him clearly that if I can achieve what I am today, I will definitely not be stupider than him."
"If he wants to retain a rare talent like me that has not been seen in thousands of years, he must show his sincerity and stop trying to make a big deal in front of me."
"To put it bluntly, my purpose in doing this is to increase my own worth!"
"As the same saying goes, the higher the position, the more powerful a person becomes. The emperor is the most despicable. If I gladly accept this imperial edict, he will think that I am easy to fool, and he will use the minimum cost to squeeze money from me. The greatest value!" "I will tell him with practical actions that when I extract value from others, he is not even a tadpole!"
"."
Under Ye Qing's eloquent output, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting across from him, was so angry that his whole body stiffened and he concentrated all his strength on his toes.
If the floorboards in Ye Qing's house were not of high quality, they would have been smashed by him.
He was now sure that his sister was right. The purpose of this guy was to negotiate terms with the emperor.
The reason why Wu Yong and Shen Waner thought he could do it must be because of Ye Qing's eloquence training and their approval of his conditional method.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly felt like a child was being led astray!
Zhu Yuanzhang just said with a deep expression: "Master Ye, you have no moral integrity at all!"
"Don't you know that we can talk to His Majesty? Don't you know that our relationship with His Majesty is better than our relationship with you?"
"Aren't you afraid that if we go back and tell His Majesty, you will die so hard that not even your bones will be left?"
When Ye Qing heard this, he suddenly became interested.
Not to mention dying with no bones left, as long as the emperor opens his mouth, I can crush his bones and scatter him into ashes. Anyway, the way to die in the mission is painless.
Ye Qing just replied firmly: "I am just such a person!"
"God allowed such an eternal genius like me to be born here just to meet the eternal Mingjun. But the person sitting on the dragon throne now is obviously not worthy of having my body and soul!"
"However, if you want to be a Taoist priest, you must cultivate the Tao. This is my principle!"
"I will definitely win this battle, and I will give it a good try and surprise His Majesty!"
When he said the word "tax", he not only emphasized his tone, but his eyes were deep and full of amusement.
Then, he continued: "As for the future, either kill me and let me go back to God, or I will resign and live proudly in the world."
"Anyway, I have been greedy for so much money, which is enough for me to be a rich Li Bai for the rest of my life. I can say this for the rest of my life."
"Isn't your life more comfortable than the emperor's?"
"Will you still serve as an official for him?"
"I'll be a hammer for him!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing crossed his legs without saying a word. He also picked up a contemporary storybook and read it with relish.
Just when the antique thread-bound blue-cover storybook was opened and completely blocked Ye Qing's face, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were once again filled with murderous intent.
His eyes were just fixed on the fastest murderer in the room, which was the fine Duan Inkstone.
If you hit your head with this thing, even if you hit it once and it won't kill you, hitting it two or three times will probably be enough.
Just a moment later, the murderous intent in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes disappeared, because in his opinion, hitting Ye Qing to death with an inkstone would make him, Zhu Yuanzhang, too merciful.
Thinking about it now, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that compared with what Ye Qing said now, that memorial was simply a manifestation of loyalty and filial piety.
This man is so annoying!
At one moment he would be humble and say that he was a clumsy person, and at another moment he would be so arrogant that the emperor did not deserve to have such an eternal genius like him.
He has now figured it out, he doesn't want the eternal genius in front of him anymore!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He would endure it no matter what until the war was over.
But he will definitely care about the agricultural tax in Yanmen County. If he loses a copper coin, he will fulfill Ye Qing's wish, let alone be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Even if he was to be infamous for thousands of years, he would still crush this person named Ye to ashes.
Do you still want to be a proud and wealthy Li Bai for the rest of your life?
Absolutely impossible!
After breaking up with the emperor, he still wanted to be proud of the world. It was simply fanciful!
As the saying goes, it's not enough to talk without speculation, so he didn't bother to say anything more to Ye Qing, lest he would be pissed to death before the time came!
After making up his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up decisively.
But just as he walked to the door, he stopped for an instant, just because he suddenly remembered a question.
He wanted to ask Ye Qing what he meant when he said, "When I extract value from others, I am not even a tadpole."
He knew that the 'tadpole' in this sentence was definitely not literal.
He just glanced at Ye Qing, who was reading his storybook, and didn't bother to ask anymore, because in his opinion, everything was unimportant.
In short, in one sentence, if the agricultural tax reported by Ye Qing this year is less than one copper coin, it will be the day of Ye Qing's death!
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, he didn't look for Ye Qing for several days.
And his show of giving up was exactly what Ye Qing needed. Naturally, Ye Qing would not do anything to ease the relationship.
Time flies, time flies, and peaceful days always pass quickly.
Finally, the time came to October [-]th.
"Snowing!"
"Look, it's the first snow this year!"
in the study,
Ye Qing listened to the maid's voice outside and looked at the calendar in front of him, and immediately became serious.
"There are only three days left before the time required by the Ministry of War's military order to hold on."
"Xuda's army will arrive either the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, it's time to start the war!".
Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
