The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 318 Zhu Yuanzhang finally revealed the truth. Mr. Ye just got tired of living and wanted to die, offending all the scholar-bureaucrats in the world!
On the way to the front office of Zhongshu Province, Hu Weiyong could be said to be walking faster and faster.

And the smug smile on his face also developed from not very obvious at first to a little obvious later.

Ye Qing, who had always been unruly and did not take him seriously, made it clear that he was looking for him!

Lord Ye, who already has many privileges and can report directly to His Majesty the Emperor without going through any superiors, actually specified that he should be approached first!

What is this behavior?
This is equivalent to the act of sending a certificate of surrender!
"It's finally time to rein in the cliff!"

"This unbridled savage finally knows what it means to turn around and find safety, finally understands the antagonism between officials and the emperor, and finally understands that officials should stick together for warmth instead of being a lone ranger!"

"."

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong had already begun to think about how he should rein in this wild horse.

But before accepting him into the family, he must take a small revenge!
Ye Qing didn't take Hu Weiyong seriously back then, but now he wants to make it impossible for Ye Qing to come to power.

He must make Ye Qing understand a truth, that is, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

If you come out to fool around, you must pay it back!

A moment later, Hu Weiyong came to the front hall of Zhongshu Province and saw the Ningbo Prefecture post soldiers standing there waiting.

He knew that there was no need for him to embarrass a postman.

But the post soldiers came to show their sincerity to Ye Qing, and this post soldiers represented Ye Qing.

He had to ask the postman to go back and tell Ye Qing that Hu Weiyong's door was not so easy to get into.

He had to let Ye Qing know that Hu Weiyong could not be coaxed with just a slap in the face and a candy.

If Hu Weiyong is given a slap in the face, if ten candies are missing, there will be no need to discuss anything!

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong immediately turned back with his hands behind his back.

At the same time, he called the officer on duty and said: "After the prime minister returns to the study, ask him to come to the study in person and hand it over to the prime minister."

"Yes, Hu Xiang."

A moment later, the postman from Ningbo Prefecture, who was delivering the memorial to Ye Qing, received the news.

He looked at Hu Weiyong's study, which was far away, and secretly scorned in his heart: "I wonder if there is something wrong with Mr. Hu's brain."

"Master Ye is a popular person in His Majesty's eyes. It's fine if he doesn't win over you. How dare you show off like this?"

"He deserves to be looked down upon by Mr. Ye, he has no discernment at all!"

After complaining in his heart, Yibing came to Hu Weiyong's office and study.

Hu Weiyong looked at the post soldier and did not speak first. He was waiting for the post soldier who represented Ye Qing to kneel on the ground and say "Meet Hu Prime Minister" with great respect.

But his eyes were widened, and the postman was still indifferent.

Not only that, he also took out the memorial very perfunctorily and said: "We, Mr. Ye, could have directly submitted the memorial to His Majesty. Mr. Hu, just be satisfied!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the memorial on the desk in front of Hu Weiyong, slapped his ass and left.

As the saying goes, if the owner is great, the dog will also be crazy!
Ye Qing didn't take the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seriously, and naturally he, a post soldier who was serving as the leader of the Ningbo Mansion, was too lazy to kneel down and worship.

Hu Weiyong looked at the post soldier walking away, and he was so angry that he pointed at the post soldier's back and said, "You haven't come up with a reason for this for a long time."

After the Yi soldiers left, he returned to his office desk, grabbed Ye Qing's autographed memorial, and prepared to open it violently.

But just when he was about to open the package, he suddenly stopped, with a look of horror on his face.

Judging from the attitude of this post soldier, it was definitely Hu Weiyong who had overthought things before, and Ye Qing was still the wild horse that had escaped the reins, and had no intention of falling into his arms.

If he had this intention, he should greet the post soldiers. No matter how hard Hu Weiyong made things, he must be respectful.

The Yibing's attitude of fighting against others' power was enough to prove that Ye Qing not only did not say this greeting, but even said hello to Hu Weiyong not to be too polite to him.

But if that's the case, why don't you just go up to the next level and play it to him first?

Do you have to hand it over to him personally?
Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong thought of the seven words "If something goes wrong, he will become a monster"!
"Is it possible that this guy wants to mess with me?"

"What else is he doing?"

"."

The more Hu Weiyong thought about this aspect, the more he felt that this was the case, and the less he wanted to open this memorial.

Because he knew Ye Qing's ability to tease people. The angrier he could make His Majesty the Emperor, the greater the reward would be for him.

Couldn't he make it worse for Prime Minister Hu, and the more benefits he would gain from Ye Qing?
Obviously, it is possible!
But even so, he couldn't help but read the memorial that would most likely implicate him. After all, this was his duty.

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong was heart-broken, and he opened the wax seal, flicked it hard, and pulled away the letter paper.Anyway, it is a blessing or a curse, and he cannot avoid it. He can only take it seriously and read every word carefully.

Under the candlestick on the desk, the more Hu Weiyong looked down, the bigger his eyes became. The further down he looked, the more frightened his eyes became.

"Damn things!"

"How dare he, how dare he?"

"."

Officials passing by heard the rage inside and immediately prepared to come in to see what was going on.

But then I thought about it, and I didn’t bother to go in and be a punching bag.

Hu Weiyong, who really couldn't sit still, walked to the front of the desk and walked around to vent his anger while staring at the autograph on the desk that Ye Qing insisted he read before the emperor.

As expected, this Ye Qing was here to show his courtesy, and he was here to completely offend him.

In comparison, offending him, Hu Weiyong, was just a trivial matter!

If the clauses in his memorial were adopted by the emperor, it would completely offend the officials and literati all over the world.

The key is that the terms and conditions inside will also frame Xu Da, who is close to him, and completely cut off Xu Da's financial path.

He really couldn't figure out how Ye Qing could come up with such a vicious method.

Is this to go against their Huaixi nobles? By the way, even Xu Da will not be spared?

This is simply the behavior of a mad dog who does not distinguish between good and bad!

After a while, Hu Weiyong also completely calmed down.

He knew that this matter could not be solved by himself, and he must present it to His Majesty the Emperor immediately.

He believed that His Majesty the Emperor would be furious when he saw this memorial, which would shock all officials in the world if he adopted the advice.

Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the emperor will adopt it!
Because although the writing of this memorial is rebellious, these provisions will still benefit the country and the people in the long run.

But for the scholar-official class, it was a fatal blow!

But this is also very consistent with Zhu Yuanzhang's words. He shares the world with the people, not with the scholar-bureaucrats.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's talent is limited and he can't think of a way to put this sentence into practice.

It's okay now, Ye Qing has come up with this method.

If it were anyone else, no matter how useful the strategy was, as long as it was written in an outrageous way, he would kill it first.

But he, Ye Qing, was different. He had more than one instance of being treacherous and unethical in his writing, and yet he was recognized by the emperor.

He thought that if His Majesty the Emperor wanted to adopt the provisions contained therein, he would have to mobilize all officials to fight to the end.

He believed that as long as the emperor dared to adopt these terms, no matter whether he was a noble Huaixi noble or not, he would stand on his side on this matter.

Even Xu Da is very likely to become one of the opponents.

In his opinion, Xu Da is also a human being, and he cannot escape the word "driven by interests"!

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong hurried to the imperial study and handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the wax seal had been removed, he immediately knew that Hu Weiyong had opened it.

In this case, there is no need to remove Hu Weiyong.

In this way, in front of Hu Weiyong, he opened the handwritten memorial written by Ye Qing.

And in his opinion, the memorial that Ye Qing followed the formal process and came through the Ministry of Education was just an ordinary memorial, and there was no treasonous remarks.

But after he finished this memorial, he suddenly lost his composure.

I am really angry and frightened!

He already felt that it was not surprising that Ye Qing dared to speak rudely to him and dare to be treacherous to him.

Even though it would piss him off, it was definitely nothing new.

He just never expected that Ye Qing would not only dare to offend him, but also dare to offend all officials in the world, including Xu Da.

What is this behavior?
This was an act that made all the officials in the world force Zhu Yuanzhang to kill Ye Qing!

"We have seen people seeking death, but we have never seen someone seeking death like this."

"Is Ye Qing really tired of living and really wants to die?".
