The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 339 Zhu Yuanzhang meets Mr. Ye again, the Third Marshal of the Ming Dynasty repairs the tomb, and the tripartite agreement is signed!

Hu Weiyong just handed them the autograph letter written by Li Shanchang and asked them to circulate it.

Then, he looked deeply in the direction of Fengyang Mansion.

At the same time, Kong Kebiao and Zhu Liangzu were shocked after seeing it. They did not expect Li Shanchang to say such words.

Li Shanchang's autographed letter was very concise, with just a few words.

The content of Li Shanchang's autographed letter: "Personal grudges are not too late in ten years, and the hatred of the country and the family cannot be delayed. It is a big matter of right and wrong, and the justice of the family and the country should come first!"

Kong Kebiao frowned and said, "Old Prime Minister, what does this mean?"

Zhu Liangzu was surprised and said: "You are a model scholar, what do you mean by this?"

Kong Kebiao was also anxious, how could he not understand the literal meaning of these words, but he couldn't understand how Li Shanchang would give up such a good opportunity.

What kind of country is Japan?

Japan is a typical country of villains!

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to the Japanese country, hoping that they would come to worship him. As a result, they not only did not come to worship, but also beheaded the Ming envoys.

If it weren't for such a sea, the Japanese country would have been crushed by the Ming Dynasty's cavalry.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not conquer the Japanese country, Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred for the Japanese country was very obvious.

After the Ming Dynasty stabilized the country, Zhu Yuanzhang directly named the women who paid tribute from Goryeo as noble concubines. This was a sign of recognizing Goryeo as the country of his younger brother.

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was firmly established, the Japanese country also paid tribute to women, hoping to win more shares of the tribute trade.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to take a look, and sent him directly to the Jiaofang Department!

This vastly different attitude is enough to show what Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards the Japanese country was deep down in his heart.

But he, Ye Qing, was deeply favored by the emperor, but he used the "Ningbo Special Administrative Government" as a sign to blatantly cooperate with the two dynasties of Japan.

What is this behavior?

To put it more seriously, this is betraying the interests of the imperial court and is an extremely shameless behavior!

To put it mildly, this is also a crime of adultery and disloyalty!

Even if it was such a big crime, how could he let go of such an opportunity to bring down Ye Qing in one fell swoop?

In Kong Kebiao's view, Ye Qing's cooperation with the Japanese and Southern and Northern Dynasties was an affair.

And his arrogant propaganda was disloyal and unjust, and he did not give the emperor face!

He really couldn't figure out the reason why Li Shanchang said such a sentence.

Just when Kong Kebiao had a question mark on his head, Zhu Liangzu also looked at Hu Weiyong and said puzzledly: "Prime Minister Hu, is the old Prime Minister old and confused?"

"In this group of us, which family's relatives didn't die because of Ye Qing?"

"What kind of things he does like 'divide a small family into a farm', 'return the fire to the public', and 'gentlemen work as errands and pay for food', are they all aimed at people like us?"

Kong Kebiao also frowned and said, "I'm not going to let him go anyway!"

"Snapped!"

Just when Kong Kebiao and Zhu Liangzu were expressing their opinions, Hu Weiyong slapped him on the tea table in front of him.

He really couldn't imagine why there were so many stupid people around him.

Hu Weiyong first looked at Kong Kebiao and yelled angrily: "Kong Kebiao, you should really thank your surname Kong. If you are not surnamed Kong, even if you do not die in the hands of His Majesty, you will definitely die in my hands!"

Kong Kebiao was immediately surprised: "Prime Minister Hu, why?"

"you"

Hu Weiyong touched his chest, which seemed to make him feel at ease, but he was so angry that his heart and liver were trembling.

After a while, Hu Weiyong said calmly again: "Do you know what he was cooperating with the Japanese Southern and Northern Dynasties?"

"You know, there's no way you don't know!"

"Not to mention people in high positions like you and me, even uneducated traders and lackeys can guess his true intention of cooperating with the Japanese Southern and Northern Dynasties in mining and sending troops to fight with them."

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that it will benefit the country and the people!”

"Why do you think he can survive?"

"That's because our Emperor is reluctant to let him die, and that's because our Queen doesn't allow him to die!"

"Can the two of them still not know whether Ye Qing is harming the country and the people, or whether he is benefiting the country and the people?"

"If you go to court tomorrow morning to impeach Ye Qing, you may not be able to die because you are a descendant of Confucius, but it will also make it difficult for you!"

Kong Kebiao suddenly understood and immediately kowtowed: "Don't be angry, Prime Minister Hu. I know I was wrong."

Hu Weiyong just snorted coldly, and then looked at Zhu Liangzu again, with even more contempt in his eyes.

If he looked at Kong Kebiao because he was angry that he was stupid, but now he looked at Zhu Liangzu because he despised him for having lost the basic morality of a warrior.

"You can't be as stupid as him. You can't know whether Ye Qing's move will harm the country and the people, or benefit the country and the people."

"You know everything, but you still want to use this matter to punish him."

"If you do this, people will only look down on you, and even we will look down on you."

"As the old Prime Minister said, personal grudges are not too late in ten years, and the hatred of the country and the family cannot be delayed!"

"In this matter, we not only cannot punish him, but also help him. We are doing it for our own interests, but please remember that you are Han people, officials of the Ming Dynasty, and people of this country."

"."

After being educated, the two of them knelt on the ground, kowtowed fiercely and apologized, and then got out of the house.

Hu Weiyong was the only one left in the huge hall.

Hu Weiyong walked to the door, looked in the direction of Fengyang Mansion, and recalled the difficult time of starting a business.

At that time, there were more than ten rebel armies against the Yuan Dynasty, but there were only a few who could do nothing against the people after entering the city.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to publicly execute the soldiers who refused to pay for meals, as well as the soldiers who annihilated the women of the people, and they all applauded him.

Not to mention Liu Bowen, even Hu Weiyong followed Zhu Yuanzhang so far because he fought for the people!

Looking back, it still seems like yesterday!

He never imagined that they would now be living the people they hated, the people they resisted, and the people they despised.

If these Huaixi nobles did not live like that, how could their family members die because of the Fengyang case?

Hu Weiyong’s family members have not been implicated. Does this prove that Hu Weiyong is not corrupt?

This only proves that Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang are very clever in their methods, and their restraint on their family members is far greater than that of these powerful military trainers!

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but laugh at himself.

After all, he has become the person he has scolded the most!

But he also knows that he can't go back!

Not only can he not go back, but these people who are used to eating meat cannot go back to the days of eating vegetables!

But no matter what, he, like Li Shanchang, has not lost his bottom line.

When others are fighting for the country, he will never stab them in the back, and will even act as a good support person.

When the country's guns are open to the outside world, even if he cannot become a gunner himself, he will help carry a box of shells.

He would do this even if the gunner who stole the show was his biggest enemy.

As Li Shanchang said, "Personal grudges are not too late in ten years, and hatred of the country and family cannot be delayed. When it comes to right and wrong, the righteousness of the family and the country should come first!" ’

Early the next morning,

Under the dome of the Fengtian Hall surrounded by golden dragons, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials were having a court meeting as usual.

After finishing what he said in the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da, Wang Baobao, and Lan Yu.

He looked at the three of them blankly and said directly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Xu Da immediately walked out with Yuhu in his arms, but he was very unhappy in his heart. "This Zhu Chongba, is he afraid that we will eat the roast goose in vain or something?"

"How can we deny what we promised?"

"Ye Qingcai has established cooperation with the Japanese country. The time for dispatching troops has not been set yet. You want me to go home and visit the grave?"

"."

But he also knew that complaints were complaints. Since His Majesty the Emperor wanted to take reassurance, he would feed it to him to prevent him from thinking too much.

Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately said: "Your Majesty, I want to take a leave of absence for a while. I want to go back to repair and sweep the tombs of my parents."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We like people with filial piety, so be sure to play!"

"When are you leaving?"

Xu Da just frowned slightly and said, "Don't you have the final say when to leave?" It was on his lips, but he couldn't say it out.

He just said casually: "I still have to ask someone to see the auspicious time, but I just said it first."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Xu Da's words. After nodding, he looked at Lan Yu.

Lan Yu's rhetoric was the same as Xu Da's. He would stop talking about the tomb repairing here first. As for the specific time, he had to wait for Mr. Feng Shui to decide.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Baobao again.

Just when his eyes fell on Wang Baobao, Wang Baobao also said: "Your Majesty, they both have to repair the grave, and I have to go back to repair the grave. I have to wait until Mr. Feng Shui has seen it."

When Hu Weiyong and others heard this, they felt that these generals with heavy troops were really disrespectful of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even if you give me an excuse, how about it be decent?

You have to go back to build your parents' graves, and you still have to wait for the Feng Shui master to see it before you say anything?

Treating everyone like fools is not the way to play, right?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who knew that they were being treated as fools, looked embarrassed, but no one dared to speak.

They all received notice from Hu Weiyong that they must support this matter, but they never expected that Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Lan Yu would ask for leave so early in advance.

The key is that this reason for asking for leave is tantamount to saying, 'I have military power, so if I give you a reason, I will be worthy of you'!

Xu Da also frowned, because he didn't expect Lan Yu and Wang Baobao to be unwilling to use their brains.

Even if you think of another reason, that’s fine!

But when he thought about it, he felt that this was perfectly normal!

Not to mention that Xu Da took the lead and got the emperor's permission in advance. As for Wang Baobao and Lan Yu, who didn't take the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty seriously?

Just when Xu Da was thinking like this, Hu Weiyong was ready to stand up and speak for them.

But before Hu Weiyong could say anything, Zhu Liangzu, who couldn't bear it anymore, directly set his sights on Wang Baobao.

Zhu Liangzu looked at Wang Baobao and said: "Wang Baobao, I remember the custom there. After a person dies, a calf pulls the body across the grassland. After the bullock cart overturns, the body is buried wherever it lands. "

"If the princes and nobles die, thousands of horses will trample that area."

"In order to find the burial place, a baby camel will be killed next to it. When the spring breeze blows next year and the grass and trees sprout, the place will be no different from other pastures."

"But the female camel was able to find that place and offer sacrifices there!"

"Once the female camel dies, no one can find that place, so there will be no need for sacrifices from now on!"

"Do you still know where your parents are buried?"

When Wang Baobao heard this, he immediately became angry.

He glared at Zhu Liangzu and said: "You heard clearly, I was born in Gushi County, Guangzhou, and I received Han culture and education since I was a child!"

"My parents were also buried in Han customs!"

"Also, when I'm talking, you'd better not talk!"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Liangzu at this moment, and for a moment, there was obvious murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing that something was wrong, Hu Weiyong immediately stood up and became the first 'big fool'.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if I, the general of the Ming Dynasty, have a filial piety, I will definitely be imitated by the people. This is a great good thing."

Immediately afterwards, all civil and military officials in the court began to agree.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang showed relief, and his murderous intention towards Hu Weiyong was hidden again.

"Okay, let's play!"

"As long as the three of you agree on a time, I will allow you to take leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang felt comfortable.

He knew that the so-called 'Feng Shui Master' was himself.

As long as Ye Qing confirms the date of the expedition, the day will come for the three of them to go home and repair their graves!

A month later,

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma once again appeared in front of Ye Qing as Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo.

The two of them were not the only people who came to the government office. There were also envoys from the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan.

Under the witness of heaven, earth, people and gods, Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, and wealthy businessman Guo Rui signed a tripartite agreement with the envoys of the Japanese and Southern Dynasties to develop gold and silver mines in the territories of the Japanese and Southern Dynasties.

On the Sanjiang Pier in Ningbo Prefecture, Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang watched the ship of the Southern Dynasty envoy go away.

While Ye Qing was heading back home, he also teased Mr. Guo in front of him: "Would you like to go to Ningbo's Sai Guifei Club to have some fun? Do you have any new tricks?"

"You, the big boss of Yingtian Qinglou Street, don't you want to learn from me?"

"you"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing's face and couldn't help but want to get angry.

This pot of eloquence has never changed!

But when he thought that he wanted to make a fortune for himself, Zhu Yuanzhang endured it again.

For the sake of the gold and silver mountains of Japan, Zhu Yuanzhang once again turned into the "cheap businessman" Mr. Guo.

He just smiled and said: "Let Mao Qiang do it for learning the scriptures!"

Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your wife is staying with Shen Wan'er at my house. He won't know."

"Since when are we afraid of Madam?"

"We just keep ourselves clean!"

"Let me tell you, at home, if we ask her to stand up straight, she will never dare to sit down. If we ask her to make dry rice, she will never dare to make porridge!"

"That's just to give her face after she comes out!"

When Ye Qing heard this, he felt that his intelligence was insulted.

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, in order not to be angry with Ye Qing, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Didn't you say that it would be better if you had Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Lan Yu to help you?"

"Let's help you get it done!"

When Ye Qing heard this, his eyes that looked at Mr. Guo in front of him immediately became profound! .
