The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 312 Xu Miaojin plotted for Lord Ye, and the two marshals teamed up to trick the emperor, making Zhu Yuanzhang even more angry!
"stop,"

"Why are you going?"

Inside the government office, at the entrance to the judge’s office and study room,

Wu Yong, who was already so busy that he was dizzy and dizzy, just walked out to stretch his body when he met the post soldier passing by his door.

The post soldier's outfit was so eye-catching that an expert could tell at a glance that he was a post soldier who was going to Beijing.

It was obvious that Lord Ye was preparing to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor without his knowledge.

Logically speaking, Ye Qing was his superior, so it was reasonable to do some things without telling him.

But their Mr. Ye is different. He always does things that seem very unreasonable without telling him.

Although things developed in the end, it was a relatively good result.

But before the results come out, those processes always seem scary!
Therefore, he had better go beyond the level and ask.

The postman bowed his hands to Wu Yong and said, "Don't you know that Mr. Ye wants to write a letter to His Majesty, so it's better to do it urgently?"

When Wu Yong heard this, he just nodded very casually.

But at the same time, he also thought to himself: "Sure enough, I'd better take a look."

Thinking of this, Wu Yong's airs of being a Shangguan disappeared immediately. He hugged the Yibing's shoulders and immediately called him brothers.

At the same time, he was dragged into his study!

"Master Wu, I have something important to do, I can't afford to delay it!"

"Brother, it won't take long. I have prepared souvenirs for you."

In Wu Yong’s study,

A small bag of local specialties was thrown directly into the post soldier's hand, and at the same time he took off the baggage on the post soldier's back.

When the post soldier opened his small purse, he was surprised to find that there was not even a single copper coin from the Ming Dynasty, but only gold and silver coins of various shapes.

He didn't recognize any of the words on it that were like earthworms moving around.

But that doesn’t matter, just know it’s real gold and silver!
Just weighing it in my hands, it must weigh at least half a catty!

The post soldier quickly smiled and handed over his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Wu."

But before he could finish his words, he saw Wu Yong holding a knife and removing Ye Qing's wax seal very carefully, for fear of destroying the wax seal pattern.

The postman hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Wu, this is not okay, you can't do this!"

Wu Yong smiled hurriedly and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone in the world knows that I am absolutely doing it for Mr. Ye's benefit. You know that Mr. Ye sometimes does things carelessly."

"I have to check it for him. Besides, aren't these souvenirs good?"

"This"

After the post soldier sighed, he said in a leisurely tone: "Mr. Wu, please don't shake your hands. If the wax seal pattern is destroyed, we will both be unable to eat and walk around."

Wu Yong concentrated on it, like a doctor doing surgery, and finally removed the entire wax seal pattern.

After he breathed a long sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have plenty of experience!"

After Wu Yong asked the postman to turn his back, he seriously read the urgent memorial written by Ye Qing to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After reading it, Wu rolled up the memorial and put it back on the standard parchment tube, his hand trembling slightly.

He just looked at the wick deeply and started thinking quickly.

"Master Ye, what are you doing?"

"The so-called dignitaries, the so-called high-ranking nobles, are not as good as Buddhism, which has so many followers!"

"How dare he touch Buddhism's job?"

"Not only that, His Majesty has always regarded Buddhism as a benefactor. He named Huangjue Temple Huangjue Temple just after the founding of the country!"

"."

Thinking of this, Wu Yong took out the memorial again and looked at the three words "Huangjue Temple" clearly written on it.

Just looking at these three words, Wu Yong broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"No, I have to persuade Mr. Ye that this memorial cannot be sent. He will definitely die if it is sent to him."

"No, Mr. Ye is not a person who can be persuaded. I am always persuaded by him."

"."

Wu Yong just thought about it and knew that it was the most unwise choice for him to persuade Ye Qing.

In addition to being persuaded by Ye Qing to come back, he would also receive a punishment package from Ye Qing.

He knew that Ye Qing must have done this to receive awards for meritorious service, and to directly or indirectly increase his own worth.

But he still said the same thing. He really couldn't understand how this memorandum, which was looking for death, could be rewarded for meritorious service?
That is to say, the experience that he thought so every time, but actually made meritorious service and received awards every time, made him doubtful again.

After a moment, he made a decision immediately!
That is to secretly help Ye Qing do something, something that he thinks can make this memorial as possible as possible in the direction of meritorious service and awards.

This memorial was sent through the secret memorial channel, that is, it was presented directly to the emperor without going through Zhongshu Province.

This is one of the privileges of the 'Ningbo Special Administrative Government'. Whenever you submit a memorial, you can choose to play it openly or secretly.

What Wu Yong has to do is to turn the secret music into a clear one!

In his opinion, only if this memorial was made public in the main hall and let more people know about it, would there be any possibility of meritorious service and awards.

But the first person to know the contents of the memorial must not be Hu Weiyong, but must be Prime Minister Xu Da, who is also the right minister of Zhongshu!
Thinking of this, Wu Yong immediately spread out the copy, then wax-sealed the memorial, and at the same time waxed the envelope.

He handed the envelope and the wax-sealed memorial to the scroll at the same time and handed it to the postman: "You go to Commander Xu's house first, and be sure to let Commander Xu read this letter in front of you."

"Then, wherever Xu Shuai asks you to report, you can report there."

"Remember, this is no joke!"

The postman just bowed his hands and set off with his baggage.

After Wu Yong watched the post soldiers leave, he looked in the direction of Ye Qing's study and said to himself: "Master Ye, this official is definitely not disloyal, but for your own good."

Then, he looked in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, his eyes filled with anticipation.

One afternoon later,

Xu Da and Wang Baobao, who lived across the street, had just returned from their duties when the post soldiers dismounted at the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion.

Before Xu Da and Wang Baobao could return to their homes, the post soldiers stopped Xu Da.

"Xu Shuai,"

"Master Wu has a letter for you, it concerns Master Ye!"

When Xu Da and Wang Baobao heard that it was about Ye Qing, their eyes immediately lit up, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.

The two just looked at each other in tacit understanding and brought the post soldiers into the house.

In the pavilion in the back garden of Duke Wei's mansion, Xu Da had just opened the letter. Before he could read a few words, Wang Baobao asked, "What are you writing?"

Xu Da rolled his eyes at Wang Baobao and said, "I haven't understood it yet!"

"Then look quickly. What if there is some emergency military situation?"

Xu Da rolled his eyes at Wang Baobao again. Xu Da knew exactly what Wang Baobao was thinking.

Emergency military situation?
Is there any emergency military situation now?
Xu Da was not used to Wang Baobao either. He just coughed slightly, turned his back deliberately, and slowly opened the letter to read.

But at this time, the post soldier reminded me respectfully: "Master Wu said that the matter is urgent, and I am waiting for you to tell me where to report it after reading it!"

When Xu Da and Wang Baobao heard this, they immediately understood that things were not simple.

In the eyes of the postman, the two stopped fighting and immediately stood together, browsing quickly with a serious look on their faces.

Summary of the content of the letter: "The above content is a transcript of the memorial."

"Because the matter is of great importance, I believe that it is safest to take the path of clear report and send it to Xu Shuai, who is also the right minister of Zhongshu."

"Because if the report reaches Hu Weiyong, he will definitely report it to His Majesty separately."

"Only when the report comes to Xu Shuai, Xu Shuai will really think about Mr. Ye and arrange the best way to report for him."

"Sign: Ningbo Prefecture General Judge, Wu Yong pays homage!"

Wu Yong did not say clearly that the best way to report was to report in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

If he said this clearly, he would look down on Xu Da too much.

Seeing this, Xu Da and Wang Baobao just looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

After Xu Da collected the letter, he said seriously to the post soldier: "You go to the post station to stay one night first."

"You must report to the palace before the morning meeting tomorrow morning!"

"But it must be because he happened to see me at the palace gate preparing to enter the palace to attend court, so he reported it to me!"

"Understand?"

Yibing just felt a little confused. This was coincidental and incidental, full of coincidence.

But he also thought it was normal. If he had figured out everything about the big shots, he would be more than just a little post soldier.

After the two of them watched the post soldiers leave, they prepared to go back to the study and burn the letter first.

But halfway down the road, I saw Xu Miaojin coming towards me again!Xu Miaojin first saluted his father, and then saluted Wang Baobao: "Meet Uncle Wang."

Wang Baobao looked at the beauty in front of him and felt that his daughter's position as Mrs. Ye was not guaranteed, but he still maintained his elder style and smiled and nodded in return.

"Since Uncle Wang is here, let's eat at home!"

"I'm going to invite Sister Mei Duo over right now."

As she said that, she looked at Xu Da who couldn't walk after hearing the roast goose and said, "Dad, today you have taken advantage of Uncle Wang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Miaojin walked straight out of the house.

Xu Da looked at this daughter, no matter how he looked at it, he felt satisfied, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt confident.

In addition to being first-rate in leading troops and fighting, Xu Da was also first-rate in giving birth to daughters.

With just a few words, she not only showed off her demeanor as a young lady, but also gave Wang Baobao enough face, and she naturally became Wang Baobao's daughter's sister.

It's like killing three birds with one stone, killing three birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, he was ready to show off his good daughter again.

Anyway, it concerns Ye Qing, so let him, Xu Da's appointed Mrs. Ye, his daughter Xu Miaojin, come up with an idea for Ye Qing to 'win in danger' in front of Wang Baobao.

"Miaojin, come and read this letter."

"Tell me, if Ye Qing does this, will he offend His Majesty, or will he get praise from His Majesty?"

After Xu Miaojin read the letter, she just blinked with bright eyes and said immediately: "If you forward it privately, you will definitely offend His Majesty."

"But if you report it in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and then cleverly let the Queen and His Highness know about it afterwards, Lord Ye will be rewarded!"

"It can also be said that His Majesty wants to punish, but he has to reward!"

Having said this, Xu Miaojin bowed and saluted again, smiled and said humbly: "My little girl's words can't be taken into account. It's up to my father and Uncle Wang to decide."

As soon as she finished speaking, she went to the Prince's Mansion across the street to find her sister Mei Duo without looking back.

After Xu Miaojin left, Xu Da turned around with his head held high and said, "Uncle Wang, come with me!"

"Thank you so much, Wang Shuai. If I hadn't benefited from you, I wouldn't be able to eat the roast goose made by my daughter tonight!"

Wang Baobao looked at the high-spirited figure in front of him and really wanted to take off his shoes and hit him on the back of the head.

"Why does this Xu Da smell like Ye Qing?"

"Just eat more roast goose!"

"That thing clears away heat and relieves heat. Eat too much and you will live longer!"

After Wang Baobao cursed secretly, he also followed him energetically.

Because he also had confidence in his daughter, Ye Qing gave him Xu Da's daughter's prescription and also sang for his Wang Baobao's daughter.

Everyone has the same starting point, who is afraid of whom?
Early the next morning, the sun had not yet risen over the mountains, but the morning glow had just turned the sky from night to day.

At this time, the capital city had just regained its vitality. Civil and military officials were already waiting at the gate of Chengtian. As soon as the palace gate opened, they went straight to Fengtian Hall.

At this moment, Xu Da, who had always been stuck in going to court, and Wang Baobao, who had always been stuck in going to court, appeared in the eyes of all the ministers.

"Meet Xu Shuai!"

Just when Xu Da was about to say hello to everyone, the postman who had been hiding in the dark suddenly rushed out.

"Quick play!"

"Ningbo Prefecture is calling!"

In everyone's eyes, judging from the positions of the two right ministers, civil and military, Xu Da happened to be standing in the direction from which the post soldiers came.

Naturally, Ningbo Mansion's urgent play fell into Xu Da's hands.

Everything is so reasonable and coincidental.

But just when Xu Da was holding the memorial in his hand and standing at the top of the list of military attaches, Hu Weiyong, who was standing at the top of the list of civil servants, and Lv Ben, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was second, looked at Xu Da with their peripheral vision. Memorial in hand.

They only felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but they didn't know what was wrong for a while.

Hu Weiyong, in particular, felt that something was wrong.

Because according to convention, Xu Da, the Prime Minister of Wu, hangs out in Zhongshu Province for fun. To put it bluntly, it is to contain him and Hu Weiyong.

Xu Da, the main battlefield, has always been the governor of the Fifth Army. He can sit in Zhongshu Province for five days a month, even if he comes regularly.

Therefore, memorials sent from various places were usually sent to Hu Weiyong's study.

But now, luckily, Ye Qing's memorial happened to fall into Xu Da's hands.

I would like to say that there is no problem, but I still feel that something is wrong!

To say there is a problem, I really can’t see where there is a problem!
Just when Hu Weiyong was frowning and thinking, Xu Da smiled and said: "Prime Minister Hu, how about you take it and report it to His Majesty?"

"What I did was a bit over the top!"

Hu Weiyong immediately waved his hand and said, "Xu Shuai, what are you talking about?"

"You are also the Right Chancellor of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. How can I bear to bear what you say?"

Seeing what Hu Weiyong said, Xu Da reluctantly put the memorial away again and prepared to submit it reluctantly in his way.

Wang Baobao, who was standing behind, looked at this scene and just raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending not to know.

After a while, the palace door opened wide, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up to enter.

In Fengtian Hall,

All the civil and military officials bowed together: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty and send my regards to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon chair and said loudly: "Let's settle down!"

"If you have anything to play, please come quickly."

Xu Da was about to speak, but a civil servant came out first.

"I am reporting to Ye Qing, the governor of Ningbo Prefecture, that he relied on the name of 'Ningbo Special Administrative Government', ignored Ming Dynasty laws and regulations, ignored the court's laws, and completely failed to implement the decrees of Zhejiang Chief Envoy!"

"I report to Ningbo Prefecture Governor Ye Qing that he is domineering in his administration. The Ningbo Shipping Department was originally directly under the Zhejiang Chief Envoy, but he took over it by force and refused to report to the Zhejiang Chief Envoy!"

"I joined Ye Qing, the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture, to take charge of his own affairs, and even Zhongshu Sheng didn't look down on him!"

"I am participating in the performance of Ye Qing, the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this continuous flow of participation and looked at the memorials held in the hands of so many people. He really couldn't leave Ye Qing in every sentence, and Ye Qing never left the notebook.

He finally lived a comfortable life for a month, and now his mind was filled with Ye Qing's thoughts again.

I have a headache, I have a headache with anger!
I have a toothache. In order to hold back my anger, I bite my tooth until it hurts!
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and said seriously: "We established the Ningbo Special Administrative Government. What does Ye Qing have to do with him?"

"He, Ye Qing, is just a person who helps us with things. Are you meddling with us?"

"Are you playing with me?"

As soon as the officials heard the word 'I' coming out, they immediately fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang cleverly took on these matters of participating in Ye Qing's performance.

In the eyes of the civil and military officials, His Majesty the Emperor's doting on Ye Qing was so doting that he had no principles.

But they didn't know that their Emperor was just paying for his "golden words".

While he was bearing the consequences for Ye Qing, he had already scolded Ye Qing deep in his heart.

"The surname is Ye,"

"We have done our best, please don't go too far!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly ruthless, Xu Da was in trouble.

He never expected that just after not seeing him for more than a month, he, Ye Qing, would do so many things that would make people hate him and ruin his wealth.

Even the Ningbo Shipping Company was snatched away from Hu Weiyong and the others.

Thinking of this, he just secretly boasted that his good son-in-law was indeed courageous.

He really wanted to press the memorial in his hand, and he really wanted to wait until his brother the emperor had calmed down before playing it.

But he was rushing to take over in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and it was obviously unjustifiable not to report to the court.

He wasn't worried that things were out of control, he was just worried that his emperor brother would become too angry and his body wouldn't be able to bear it.

But then I thought about it, my brother the emperor was in very good health, he was still in a state where he could mount a horse and charge, and he was not so easily angered.

Thinking of this, Xu Da walked out with Yuhu in his arms.

"Your Majesty Xu Da has a plan to report!"

"No, it was Ye Qing, the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture, who urgently reported it. I just happened to get it outside the palace gate."

"I didn't have time to see it!"

"Since Ningbo Mansion is the Ningbo Special Administrative Government specially approved by His Majesty, Mr. Ye will naturally be directly responsible to His Majesty."

"Please, Your Majesty will visit directly!"

Saying that, Xu Da took out this wax-sealed rhythm! .
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, and please support the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, thank you!
