The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 326 The Queen and the Crown Prince scolded the Emperor for being shameless. The imperial envoy turned out to be him. Mr. Ye can go home!
  Kong Kebiao looked at the scene in front of him, and then at Prime Minister Hu, who was trying to help him, and felt that they were all just useless people.

And he, Kong Kebiao, is the only one who stands out!
  Thinking of this, Kong Kebiao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and blood rushed into his mouth like a spring.

In everyone's eyes, Academician Kong suddenly puffed up his cheeks, looking like he was about to vomit.

"Good riddance to you civil and military wallflowers!"

"Well, you, Hu Weiyong, Prime Minister Hu, you are the biggest loser!"

"."

Kong Kebiao was really furious.

I really can't blame him for being stingy, anyone who encounters a situation like his would be furious.

But he still held back the breath and swallowed the blood that had reached his mouth.

In everyone's eyes, Kong Kebiao only had an obvious movement of his Adam's apple. Anyone who wasn't blind or stupid could guess what he was swallowing.

Not to mention these civil servants, even generals like Xu Da and Wang Baobao, who have more than a thousand lives in their hands, have to praise him, he, the Bachelor of Confucius, is the real ruthless person!

He was so cruel that he even swallowed his own blood!
  Kong Kebiao also felt sick, but he also knew that he could not spit out this mouthful of blood.

If he was so angry that he vomited blood at this time, not only would no one understand him, but some would also say that he was too stingy and ignored the country for his own selfish desires.

As a result, the sign of his Confucian sage's home was ruined.

"You pay taxes, you pay taxes. It's nothing more than having a layer of skin pulled out."

"I don't believe it. How can the imperial court make my family's property pay taxes until there is no profit?"

"It's nothing more than making less money!"

Thinking of this, Kong Kebiao immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, since you are using my Kong family's property as a model, you should not bother Prime Minister Hu and let me, the head of the Kong family, preside over the implementation. "

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the country, our Kong family is willing to take the lead in implementing these three major national affairs!"

As soon as Kong Kebiao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Xu Da, Wang Baobao and others' eyes immediately lit up.

As Zhu Yuanzhang facing Kong Kebiao, he certainly couldn't laugh secretly like Xu Da and others, but he really wanted to laugh.

Because this is what they want!

We must know that these three major national policies have indeed harmed the interests of scholars all over the world.

Where did the gentry come from?

In addition to these generals, they have to come from among the future scholars, candidates, and Jinshi.

And these scholars, successful candidates, and successful scholars come from scholars all over the world!
  This kind of national policy that is detrimental to their interests was implemented by the prime minister Hu Weiyong. It is really not as effective as the great scholar Kong Kebiao, who is a model of scholars in the world and the master of Confucianism!
  "it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally slapped the faucet on the armrest and stood up immediately.

In full view of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Kong Keshuang, and after helping him up with his own hands, he smiled like a harmonious old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang held Kong Kebiao's shoulders tightly, nodded excitedly and said: "Kong Aiqing, well done!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Kong Kebiao's wrist, walked straight to the middle of the civil and military officials, waved his hand and said, "What is a scholar?"

“A scholar is one who studies for the happiness of the people in the world, and studies for the prosperity of the country and the country!”

"Thinking about your own three-quarter acre of land every day is not a scholar, that's called a polite scum!"

"In this world, there must be people like Kong Aiqing who are willing to cut off their arms for the sake of the happiness of the people!"

"Sir, you are truly a model of a scholar!"

Kong Kebiao was already a little arrogant under the continuous bombardment of several "love you".

And the last word 'Sir' made him fly directly into the clouds!
  Kong Ke expressed his love for Hu Weiyong, who had been "instrumental" for him before, and immediately assured Zhu Yuanzhang that he would definitely get the matter done!

Not only that, he also issued a military order in front of everyone. If he couldn't complete this errand, he was willing to smash the signboard of the 'Home of Confucian Sages'!

When Hu Weiyong and others saw this scene, they scolded him in their hearts.

If it weren't for his good reincarnation skills, someone like him, who was sold to help others make money, would never have been able to sit in this position, and he would never have become a 'hot potato' in the eyes of the imperial power and the prime minister!
  At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang strode onto the high platform and announced loudly: "We"

Having said this, he immediately changed his words and said: "I will now grant Kong Kebiao, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to implement the three major national policies as an imperial envoy for a period of three years and implement them throughout the country."

"If you can do it, I will give you a plaque with my royal pen. If you can't do it, you will be dismissed and investigated!"

When talking about the consequences of not being able to do it, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately lowered his voice by more than half, so that the words "imperial pen and gift plaque" were all in Kong Kebiao's mind.

With their current family fortune, they no longer value any physical rewards.

He likes this kind of honorary rewards, because honorary rewards can bring greater benefits to their family, and can also be understood as benefits that far exceed the physical rewards that the emperor can give.

"My lord, I will obey your Majesty's decree!"

At this moment, Kong Kebiao's voice was really loud enough to be heard by hundreds of people present.

After Kong Ke returned to his position with a smile and stood up, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded the two heroes who contributed to this matter.

And these two heroes are young generals Mu Ying and Lan Yu!

As for Xu Da, Wang Baobao and others, they have reached the point where they have no rewards and no titles!
  Besides, they didn't care about these rewards. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally regarded them as cost-saving.

Seeing that the matter was done, Zhu Yuanzhang also decided to let everyone have a morning meeting, and left the court with a smile.

After the ministers watched the father and son leave, they also walked on the way to their respective yamen.

On the stone staircase in front of Fengtian Gate,

Hu Weiyong looked at the high-spirited Kong Kebiao's back. He really wanted to educate this big master.

"Imperial Envoy Kong Da,"

"Imperial Envoy Kong Da, walk slower and wait for the truth."

When Kong Kebiao heard Hu Xiang's voice behind him, he just thought he was coming to curry favor with him, so he walked faster.

He now sees clearly the true face of Hu Weiyong, the 'model of the whole country', and decides not to associate with villains anymore.

Hu Weiyong didn't care about Kong Kebiao's rudeness to him, and even felt sorry for him.

Because of this, he, a dignified prime minister, quickened his pace, and finally caught up with Kong Kebiao when he finished descending the stone staircase.

"Imperial Envoy Kong Da, do you think the truth is trying to harm you?"

"In that case, this is the only way to do it, but you shouldn't be led by the nose like this!"

Kong Kebiao said with his hands behind his back: "Why am I being led by the nose?"

"Hu Weiyong, don't think that because you are the prime minister, I am afraid of you!"

Hu Weiyong smiled and said: "Of course you are not afraid of me. Who have your family been afraid of for thousands of years?"

Kong Kebiao just smiled faintly: "It's good that you know. There's no need to say more, Mr. Hu. I'm busy with official duties and have no time to chat with you."

Just when Kong Kebiao flicked his sleeves and was about to leave decisively, Hu Weiyong immediately said: "I'm afraid you didn't understand the tax collection methods of these three national policies!"

"I only want to talk about the tax method that is closely related to you and me, the stepped tax method!"

Kong Kebiao was immediately stunned, as if he had indeed mentioned this tax law when announcing these three national policies.

“What is the stepped tax law?”

Hu Weiyong smiled and explained: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"    "What do you mean?"

Hu Weiyong also smiled and motioned for Kong Kebiao to squat down with him. He pointed at the first step and said: "Your family's income is this much, so the taxes will be this much!"

As he said that, he pointed to the highest step and said, "But your family's income is so much, so the taxes will be so much. Do you understand?"

Kong Kebiao looked at the stairs to the sky along the way and suddenly understood.

"drink!"

He just stood up, took a deep breath, and immediately blurted out a mouthful of blood, which even sprayed on the long stairs!
  As for his blood, it can be said that it was atomized quite well and spread everywhere with the wind.

"The Imperial Physician!"

"Someone, take Confucius to the Imperial Hospital!"

"."

Hu Weiyong hugged his official hat and ran all the way to Tai Hospital.

He just wanted to take care of this big man, but he didn't expect him to be so stingy. He vomited blood and fainted.

He can't die!

If he was so angry with himself, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to chase him eight streets with a knife!

Soon after, people from the Imperial Hospital ran to the imperial study room and reported the matter.

The people from Taiyuan Hospital did not say that Hu Weiyong was vomiting blood due to anger. They only said that Kong Kebiao was vomiting blood due to anger, but it was Hu Xiang who sent him all the way to Taiyuan Hospital.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, even the eunuchs and maids around him could all imagine what was going on.

"This Hu Weiyong simply doesn't know the importance."

"If he makes our imperial envoy Kong Da angry to death, we will make his whole family die together."

"Come here, tell Hu Weiyong and ask him to leave all the errands to Xu Da. He will serve the imperial envoy of Confucius whom we have appointed at the Taiyuan Hospital."

"If Imperial Envoy Kong Da is still recovering, he will serve him tea and water in the imperial hospital!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered extremely seriously.

After the eunuch Chang Shi ran to convey the order, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed.

His mood at the moment was simply the word "Happy" in capital letters. Ever since he met Ye Qing, he had never felt so happy.

It's really not as satisfying as it is now to avenge the murder of the father and the seizure of the wife!

Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, who were sitting next to him, laughed happily when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang so happy.

I have known Ye Qing for so long, and I have never seen Zhu Yuanzhang so happy.

The mother and son just looked at each other and immediately decided to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Ye Qing.

Even Lan Yu and Mu Ying, who assisted and facilitated this incident, were rewarded. However, it would be unreasonable if Ye Qing, who had made great contributions in making suggestions, was not rewarded.

Empress Ma smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I asked you to tolerate Ye Qing and not kill Ye Qing. Is that right?"

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Dad, Mr. Ye's contribution is the greatest, and you should be rewarded!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the word "Ye Qing", he immediately became serious. He even gave the mother and son a blank look, feeling that they were simply ruining his scenery and ruining his mood.

He actually wanted to reward him Ye Qing?

Mr. Ye can tell you that he has what the emperor has, and he has what the emperor does not have. He does not care about the women the emperor has seen. The women he has seen, the emperor will never see in his life.

Besides, Ye Qing has been angry with Zhu Yuanzhang so many times, and if he helps out with three ideas and still wants to give him a reward, that would be shameless for him, Mr. Ye.

"Cough cough!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just coughed and said to the eunuch beside him: "Come here, call us the Qi Ju Lang." a branch of major)
  Soon, Qi Julang came to the three of them with a small notebook and pen.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, to the Queen, and to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much, and directly gave him a serious order: "Record, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang planned for the country, the country, and the country. He went to bed late and got up early all day long to think about national policies."

"Finally, by chance, I came up with three major national policies that benefit the country and the people. One is [dividing people into acres], the second is [returning fire waste to the public], and the third is [gentry and gentry work together as errands and pay grain as one body]! "

"In order to effectively implement this policy, Emperor Hongwu decided to appoint Kong Kebiao, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, as the imperial envoy responsible for implementing it nationwide."

"At the same time, Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, was ordered to take the lead in implementing it within the Ningbo Special Administrative Government, summarize the implementation experience, and submit it to the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"."

In the eyes of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao, Qi Julang's writings recorded it like flying.

Of course, the official writings recorded in history will be carefully considered by himself after he returns, and they will definitely not be Zhu Yuanzhang's verbal words.

Queen Ma and Zhu Biao looked at this scene, even though they were absolutely loyal to him, they couldn't help frowning and cursing secretly in their hearts.

"shameless!"

"It's so shameless!"

Just when Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were scolding Zhu Yuanzhang in their hearts, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again and said: "Of course, we are not shameless people."

"If we use his idea, we will definitely reward him."

"But you must not reward him for coming up with ideas, but reward him for 'conspiring for the country without risking his life'!"

"After much thought, if we don't reward him for coming up with ideas, there is only such a far-fetched reason!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the imperial study room with his hands behind his back.

He was in a good mood today and decided to give himself a holiday. He would sneak out through the back door and chat with a farmer to drink tea.

A few days later in the morning,
  Ye Qing, who has moved to a private mansion in Houya, is sleeping wrapped in a quilt.

In his opinion, he, the prefect, is not a prefect. Wu Yong, the general judge, is the prefect. He is just a bastard waiting to die.

If the bastard doesn't sleep, do he still have to sit on the Yamen Board of Directors?

It is impossible for him to sit on the Yamen Board of Directors. As long as it has nothing to do with the word "go home", he will not take care of it.

"grown ups,"

Wu Yong knocked on the door hastily.

Ye Qing turned over and continued to sleep. At the same time, he said impatiently: "You are here in the Yamen, you don't need me, go ahead!"

"grown ups,"

"You can't sleep anymore, the imperial envoy from the imperial court has arrived!"

Wu Yong knocked on the door more urgently.

In the room, Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes.

He immediately raised his lips because he was absolutely sure that Zhu Yuanzhang must have made the most correct choice.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing got up immediately and put on his official uniform with great enthusiasm.

Still the old rules,
  In order to thank His Majesty the Great Emperor for his success, he must treat him with courtesy and give him the minimum respect!
  　Please support me by ordering more, recommending tickets, and support me with monthly tickets, thank you!
