The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 337 That Master Ye is back again. Zhu Yuanzhang was knocked unconscious and asked Zhu Di to go to sea to practice his skills!

Empress Ma and Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was drunk with white wine and turned red-faced, and immediately felt their hearts in their throats.

But on the surface, they were still very calm.

Empress Ma quickly helped Zhu Yuanzhang sit down and scolded him in a serious tone: "Can you help me with this?"

"Master, even if you have worked with His Majesty the Emperor and been his personal soldier, you still can't boast about this Haikou!"

"How big of a deal is it to keep the two marshals' fakes and also to keep the fakes of General Lan Yu?"

"His Majesty the Emperor would not dare to make this decision casually!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang was helped to sit down, he was about to burst out: "We"

"What are we doing? Day by day, we don't know who we are hanging out with. You have to find out who the target is when you are bragging?"

"Mao Qiang, get this master away quickly to avoid being embarrassed here!"

After Mao Xiang received the order from Queen Ma, he immediately took action, pulling and pulling her, just like raping a civilian girl.

"we"

At the corner of the front yard of the dining room, in order to prevent the drunken Zhu Yuanzhang from telling the truth, Mao Xiang directly touched his Jianjing point.

In the dining room, Ye Qing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was being roughly taken away, and he also laughed directly.

He looked at Queen Ma and said with a smile, "Who did you learn this from? Why are you bragging and not drafting?"

Empress Ma personally poured a glass of wine for Ye Qing and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, our master is a bad habit developed in the army. Once he drinks too much, he will brag. Let's see who can boast more. .”

"After I came out, I spent a long time in the business world and developed this virtue."

"But our master is different from those businessmen. He is upright and honest, and he will definitely help wherever he can."

"When he was a general, didn't he try his best to help you?"

Ye Qing looked at Mrs. Guo in front of him, she was a little too nervous, as if she was afraid of offending them.

If he had hoped to use them to anger Zhu Yuanzhang before, he might have found this reason to offend them.

Now it has been proved that he has no way to offend Zhu Yuanzhang through them, and naturally he will not do that.

As long as he has nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang, Ye Qing can still be considered a reasonable person.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately waved his hands and said: "Mrs. Guo, you are a little too nervous. I am not that kind of person."

"How can anyone not do something ridiculous when they're drunk?"

"When he sobers up tomorrow, I'll recall it for him. I'll make sure he blushes so much that he wants to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it."

"Don't be nervous. Really, I don't call myself my official in front of you. It's enough to show that after such a long time of misunderstanding, I have regarded you as my friends."

When Queen Ma heard this, she immediately got off the road.

But that's not what she was worried about. What she was worried about was that Zhu Yuanzhang would just say "I am Zhu Yuanzhang" without thinking clearly!

After dinner, Shen Wan'er reminisced with her former labor camp inmate, Sister Ma, and then sent her back to the guest room.

The guest room floor of Ningbo Fuyamen is still occupied by plainclothes guards.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had fallen asleep in the middle guest room on the second floor.

Mao Xiang was sitting at the table, feeling very anxious.

He is really afraid!

He was afraid that when Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, he would find his neck hurt and then remember that he had done something good.

As soon as Queen Ma entered the door, Mao Xiang knelt down and said, "Queen, help me!"

"I did it to prevent His Majesty from making a drunken mistake, so I attacked him. Don't worry, I'm careful about the severity of the attack. The most you can do is have a good sleep."

"When I woke up the next morning, I felt stiff at best!"

Empress Ma didn't want to blame Mao Xiang, knowing that he was also thinking about the overall situation, but it was really unjustifiable not to blame the emperor for taking action.

After Queen Ma scolded Mao Xiang, she just sighed and said, "You said he had a stiff neck at night, didn't he just sleep at night with a stiff neck?"

"Go down and rest quickly!"

Mao Xiang bowed immediately and felt relieved.

He only hoped that such a kind queen could live a long life, preferably longer than Zhu Yuanzhang.

A person in his position must hope that the queen will live longer than the emperor!

Early the next morning,

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang sat up, he touched the back of his neck with a constipated expression: "Sister, why does our neck hurt so much? It feels like someone hit us?"

"Did that bastard Ye Qing do it? He beat us while we were drunk?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Ye Qing, who had made him bear all kinds of foreign debts, he became angry and completely forgot about Ye Qing's hospitality to him last night.

Queen Ma just rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why do you wake up so early in the morning and catch and bite anyone?"

"You drank too much last night and your sleeping posture was wrong, so you had a stiff neck!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about what happened last night and felt that he couldn't think much about it.

He patted his head and said, "I drank too much. I drank at least two kilograms of white wine!"

"Didn't we say anything we shouldn't have said?"

Empress Ma poured him a cup of hot tea and said: "What nonsense can you say, but you almost said that you are Zhu Yuanzhang, you can help him."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart tightened at first, and then he felt relieved.

Since he almost said something like this, it means he hasn't said it yet. As long as his identity is not exposed in this 'embattled' environment, it will be fine.

But he also learned a lesson. Although liquor is good, you can’t be greedy!

If you drink too much of this wine, it’s still easy to get into trouble!

After a while, they finished washing and then went to the dining room to have breakfast.

The breakfast on the two big tables still consisted of enough white flour steamed buns, enough pickles, enough boiled eggs, and enough milk.

Of course, one cup of milk is suitable for each person. Take away all the excess and use it to soak the hands and feet of Ye Qing's two dedicated maids.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fresh milk being taken away and frowned as always: "Luxury!"

Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are so rich, you can raise two maids to do this."

"Let me tell you, when the jade hands and feet moistened by milk are used to massage your back, you will know what value for money is and what you get for every penny."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma who was just eating quietly next to him, and immediately raised his head and said, "We don't care!"

"No, how can you say there's a penny?"

Ye Qing just frowned slightly and immediately changed his words: "A penny is a penny, my mouth wandered, it was purely a slip of the tongue."

Having said this, Ye Qing prepared to attack Mr. Guo in front of him.

Ye Qing smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Guo, why are you tilting your head so much that you are so worried about gains and losses? Isn't it that you are half paralyzed?"

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

At another table, Mao Xiang immediately coughed and said, "It's okay, I'm going to drink the milk soon."

Zhu Yuanzhang just turned around and rolled his eyes at Mao Xiang: "Have you never drank milk? Is it because the master has treated you badly and no one is trying to snatch it from you?"

When Ye Qing saw that Mr. Guo was unhappy, he felt very happy.

In fact, he himself didn't know it. Even if he was sure that angering Zhu Yuanzhang through Mr. Guo and his wife was ineffective, he had already developed the habit of being happy when Mr. Guo was unhappy in front of him!

Ye Qing looked at the somewhat unhappy Master Guo in front of him, and immediately couldn't help but confront him.

Ye Qing just said with great interest: "By the way, Mr. Guo said yesterday that he could help me. Is it true?"

"Cough cough!"

This time, the person who coughed was no longer Mao Xiang, but Queen Ma between the two.

Ye Qing winked at Queen Ma, indicating that he was sensible and asked her to stay out of the affairs between men. Ye Qing continued: "I need Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Lan Yu to help me, and you promised me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the people who didn't open the pot and picked up the pot. He really wanted to say, "We can help with this."

But he still smiled and said: "I drank too much. I drank too much and was just bragging."

"However, we can go and talk to His Majesty about the benefits of asking them to help. As for whether His Majesty is willing or not, that is his business."

When Ye Qing heard this, he immediately thought of a way to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang.

His eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Yes!"

"I need your help!"

"I wrote a memorandum myself and told His Majesty that if he agrees, he will be a wise emperor, and if he disagrees, he will be a coward who will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. If I, Ye Qing, do not work for the coward, either I will be allowed to resign or I will be killed."

"It's such a simple thing, I don't need your help at all."

With that said, she asked everyone to eat quickly. After eating, he could take Mr. Guo and others to inspect the project.

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he started to eat breakfast seriously.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched slightly, and he wanted to use a whole steamed bun to choke this arrogant guy to death.

But he thought about it and endured it.

Because he already knew the benefits of asking them to help, even if Ye Qing didn't resort to threats, he would agree after returning.

But his own consent and his consent under threat are completely different in nature.

But for the sake of the Japanese gold and silver mountains, he decided to swallow this breath hard.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. However, he did not choke Ye Qing to death, but almost choked himself to death.

Queen Ma and Mao Xiang looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the group had breakfast, they all got on their horses and headed all the way to the deep water dock in Beicang County.

On the carriage, Shen Wan'er and Queen Ma were talking and laughing.

In front of the carriage, Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang would look at each other like needles from time to time.

The topics they talk about are either you exposing his shortcomings or him picking up your shortcomings.

Mao Xiang was very frightened when he saw this scene, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang's identity would be exposed accidentally.

They all knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would be exposed sooner or later, but only after summoning Ye Qing to the capital.

In this way, a group of them arrived at the deep water dock in Beicang County.

The current Beicang County External Deepwater Terminal has begun to take shape, and many foreign ships dock here.

Although the people who work as laborers on the dock are busy and hard-working, they are also full of energy.

Zhu Yuanzhang caught a random man and asked, "I see you are so tired, why are you still so motivated?"

Lifu wiped his sweat and said: "This master doesn't know something. Ever since Mr. Ye took over the Ningbo Shipping Company, we have hope for the future."

"In the past, after the cargo owner paid wages, we had to hand over part of it to the officials of the Municipal Shipping Department."

"We are all people who earn hard money. After they exploit us like this, how much money will we have left in our pockets?"

"I'm fine now. I won't say I'm rich, but I still have hope for the future!"

"It must be His Majesty's wisdom that allowed Mr. Ye to take over the City Shipping Department."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just smiled sheepishly, because the reputation he had gained in vain was given to him by Ye Qingbai.

It can also be said that the charity given to him was not earned by him!

You must know that when Ye Qing took over the Shipping Department forcefully, he was the culprit who wanted to beat Ye Qing and kill him.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little ashamed when he thought of this.

"Master, come and see, this is our warehouse. Master Ye really gave us the best position."

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Empress Ma's voice and really saw the five characters "Guo Shen Jiang Warehouse".

As for this huge door plaque, the font is square and powerful, and the writing is very good. It can be used as a calligraphy template.

Looking at the signature below, it turns out to be the word "Ye Qing"!

Ye Qing put his hand on Mr. Guo's shoulder in front of him and said, "General Guo, I do what I say. I will remember all the help you gave me in Yanmen County."

"With this plaque inscribed by me, your warehousing business is the best, and your dividends next year will definitely be quite large."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Ye Qing at this moment, feeling that this person was not as annoying as he thought.

He even wanted to say thank you!

"Then, thank you, Mr. Ye."

Ye Qing waved his hands hurriedly, and then solemnly pleaded: "If you really want to thank me, go and tell His Majesty that my cooperation with the Japanese country will also benefit him."

"The more I make over there, the more tax revenue he gets."

"I don't want his help with anything else. When I need Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Lan Yu, I just give him a leave."

"If they come, the soldiers of Ningbo Prefecture will die a lot less!"

"I beg you for the lives of our soldiers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and felt that Lord Ye, who was the favorite of civil servants, was back again.

It should be said that Mr. Ye, who was the favorite of civil servants, never left at all, it was just his wishful thinking that he had left.

"Okay, we will try our best!"

"By the way, don't you threaten His Majesty?"

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang also started to tease Ye Qing.

Ye Qing just smiled lightly, that's all he said just now.

Since everyone has decided to do this big thing, there is no need to do such a small thing that threatens the emperor.

Besides, it’s not like he didn’t threaten before, and it didn’t end in failure!

Isn’t it easy to ask the emperor to grant death?

At that time, just spread the word to the world and say that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who specially approved the Ningbo soldiers to retire to help the Japanese country and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Let him lose face directly. Ye Qing will definitely win the battle and die!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just smiled lightly and said: "Forget it, I'm afraid that His Majesty will be mad to death in advance, and I won't have any fun."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just twitched the corner of his mouth.

The little affection I had for Ye Qing just now was completely angered by Ye Qing's words.

He immediately took out a small notebook in his mind and wrote down, "Ye Qing didn't threaten the emperor, not because of his conscience, but because he was afraid that he would make the emperor so angry that he would have nothing to do, and he would be charged with the crime of disrespect"!

But he didn't know that to this day, he had already remembered Ye Qing for the crime of disrespect eighteen times!

The next morning,

Zhu Yuanzhang and his party said goodbye to Ye Qing and returned to Yingtian Mansion.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to treat Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Lan Yu to a meal.

He thought about it for several days. He felt that he had to do this favor, but for the sake of his own face, he still couldn't offer it himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang must have nothing to do with meddling with the Japanese and Southern and Northern Dynasties!

Doing gold and silver mining business with Japan must have nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang!

Xu Da and Wang Baobao must take the initiative to take responsibility for everything!

Not only that, he also wanted to introduce someone to the two of them.

That person is Zhu Di, the Fourth Master of the Zhu family!

In his opinion, Zhu Biao is the future emperor, and Zhu Di is the future royal general.

It was perfect for him to ask Zhu Di to practice on this level of combat! .
