The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3 Courtiers and concubines don't participate in politics, you should realize it yourself!

"Sister,"

"You mean, Ye Qing, the county magistrate of Yanmen, didn't really turn himself in and ask for death when he wrote such bad things in his self-assessment and self-evaluation?"

"Does he have ulterior motives?"

Empress Ma just smiled gratifiedly and said, "It's about government affairs, so it's inconvenient for ministers and concubines to say more."

Zhu Yuanzhang fully understood what Queen Ma said.

The six words that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics are the rules of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

As the lord of the harem, Empress Ma naturally had to set an example.

But although she doesn't interfere in political affairs, she wants to urge her family to refrain from making mistakes.

Obviously, this is implying that Zhu Yuanzhang thinks about government affairs in this self-evaluation memorial that seems to be looking for death.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?
He is a master who is impulsive and has no brains, but once he calms down, he is frighteningly clever!
Coupled with a careful Empress Ma who reminded him, he still can't understand at all?
"We understand!"

"He wants to use this method to attract our attention!"

"He is a seventh-rank county magistrate at the border, and he can't go directly to Tianting, so he can only use this method to attract our attention."

"The first place to go to these memorials is not our imperial study, and we are not the first to read it!"

"The first place I went to was Zhongshu Sheng, and the first person to see it was Hu Weiyong!"

"."

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis, Queen Ma nodded thoughtfully.

The current court situation can be said to be undercurrents and turbulent, and the battle between Huaixi Group and Zhedong Group is becoming more and more fierce.

Moreover, Huaixi Group's advantages are becoming more and more obvious, almost overwhelming.

But the nobles of Huaixi were not satisfied with this. They could be said to be grabbing territory everywhere, wishing that all the local officials of Ming Dynasty belonged to them.

There is no other reason,

The more local officials of the Ming Dynasty who were wined over by them, the more Xiangquan could speak in front of the imperial power.

Today, most of the local officials have joined the Huaixi camp, both openly and secretly.

Whether they have a heart of corruption or are afraid of the powerful, they have no choice but to join.

Under such circumstances, the person who dares to refuse the olive branch of Huaixi must be a person with a loyal heart.

At the same time, he is also the person Zhu Yuanzhang should really win over and use again!

And this seventh-rank county magistrate who is far away from the border is likely to be such a local magistrate who does not follow others!

He wanted to go directly to Tianting, but there were Zhizhou, Zhifu, Chief Envoy, and the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province who couldn't pass through it!
Under such circumstances, there is only one way for him to reach Tianting directly.

That is 'to take the risk'!
A person who refused Huaixi's olive branch, took advantage of the opportunity to write such a memorial that angered Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Ministry of Education would definitely not detain him.

Not only will it not be detained, but it will be sent to the imperial study room intact, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang will not see it.

In this way, the goal of reaching Tianting is achieved.

As for the final result, it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's mood.

It is very likely that he will be angry, and as he wishes, he will be killed directly!

of course,

It is also possible to consider this meaning and take the initiative to send someone to find Ye Qing to inquire about the situation!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately grabbed Empress Ma's hand.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that this 41-year-old hand was the most tender in the world, and it was extremely precious.

Zhu Yuanzhang held Queen Ma's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Our sister is more careful, we almost made a big mistake and killed a good minister by mistake."

Empress Ma was suddenly overwhelmed with girlish embarrassment, she pulled out her hand and said:

"Your best thing is to listen to advice."

"Whether you are loyal or virtuous, it is always good to investigate first before making a decision."

After speaking, Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again, and said earnestly: "Chongba, you have to remember."

"It has only been six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and your throne has not been completely secured yet."

"It is difficult to conquer the country, but it is even more difficult to defend the country!"

"You hold the power of life and death over the world, but you must not abuse it, and you must be cautious."

"There are many villains who follow others, but there are also many loyal ministers and capable men."

"The villain wants to use it, but the loyal minister is the one you want to win over!"

For Queen Ma's "Dundun teachings", Zhu Yuanzhang is still very useful.

He nodded: "Let's listen to my sister, let's send someone to investigate secretly."

"Xuanqin Army Duwei Mansion Commander Mao"

In the eyes of Queen Ma,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was giving the order, frightened himself to stay there.

"Heavchi, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you have already sent Mao Xiang to kill people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just turned his head slowly to look at Empress Ma, and nodded with a guilty conscience.

His sister just understands him!

The next moment, the feather duster that was always kept in a corner appeared in the hands of Queen Ma.

"Ouch!"

"You bitch, why are you acting like a hag?"

"He hasn't gone far yet, in time, in time!"

"."

in the afternoon,

On the official road outside the Jinchuan Gate of Yingtian City,

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, who were dressed as wealthy businessmen and couples, caught up with Mao Xiang and others, accompanied by a group of escorts dressed as bodyguards.

In this way, they pulled several large carts of goods and set foot on the official road to Yanmen County.

Mao Xiang was also very curious about Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden arrival.

It was agreed to let him go directly to death and it's over, why should he personally lead the team to investigate secretly?

But after thinking about it, he immediately figured it out again!

It is no surprise that Zhu Yuanzhang said one thing and did another!
Maybe it was for Hu Weiyong and the others?
Thinking of this,

Mao Xiang, who was clearing the way in front of him, didn't think too much, just hurried on with peace of mind.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma went to Yanmen County in person was not as complicated as Mao Xiang thought!
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to write a secret decree and let Mao Xiang check it out.

But Empress Ma wants to travel!
In the six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the couple had divided labor and worked hard for six years, and they never took a day off.

I just took this opportunity to walk along the route of Xu Da's Northern Expedition and take a look at the sufferings of the people in the north.

Not only personally inspected the people's livelihood in the Northland, but also investigated the truth of Ye Qing's petition to die, and also came out to relax.

The most important thing is that she can often remind Zhu Yuanzhang from the side, so as not to kill a good minister by mistake!

As for the affairs of the court and China, just hand them over to Zhu Biao, the actual deputy emperor of Ming Dynasty!

After nearly a month,
In front of the boundary monument of Yanmen County,

Mao Xiang, who was clearing the way in front of him, suddenly stopped the black horse under his crotch.

And behind him,
Whether it was the carriage pulling valuable goods, or the luxurious carriage carrying Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, they all came to a sudden stop one after another!
