The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 343 Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Weiyong actually have the same goal, Lord Ye is willing to be an imperial envoy!

"Then you should tell me who is the most suitable person to go?"

At the same time when all the civil and military officials looked at Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang asked seriously.

In the eyes of everyone, Hu Weiyong hugged the jade tablet and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, I think Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, is the most suitable person."

As soon as Hu Weiyong finished speaking, the eyes of all the civil and military officials lit up with different expressions.

"Is it possible to let him go to provide disaster relief?"

"This person's behavior is so unpredictable!"

"He is a big corrupt official!"

"Keep your voice down. He is the only one His Majesty has acquiesced to. I can only say that he is an official who can make money and is good at economic development!"

"."

The officials whispered to each other and discussed in low voices, but they tried to control their voices so that Zhu Yuanzhang could not hear them.

But among the hundreds of civil and military officials, not all were whispering to each other. People like Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, Wang Baobao, Lu Ben, etc. were just silent, but their eyes were sharp.

Xu Da and other people who knew Ye Qing and Hu Weiyong could immediately think that Hu Weiyong did not have good intentions.

Not to mention Xu Da, even Lu Ben and others who had never met Ye Qing but knew Hu Weiyong well knew that he was taking the opportunity to punish Ye Qing.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang could also see Hu Weiyong's thoughts at a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang was like this. Once he was far away from Ye Qing, his brain became extremely alive. It is not an exaggeration to say that his eyes are 'fiery eyes and golden eyes'.

He knew that Hu Weiyong had bad intentions, but he also wanted to hear the reasons why Hu Weiyong had prepared for him to recommend Ye Qing.

There is no other reason,

Because he had always wanted to find something for Ye Qing to do, but he couldn't find a reason for him to do it.

If possible, it would be a good choice to let Ye Qing take charge of disaster relief.

"Tell me, why did you recommend Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Hu Weiyong hugged the jade tablet and bowed again.

In fact, as early as when he thought of Ye Qing, his reasons were already familiar to him, and he could do it without thinking.

He smiled directly and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although Mr. Ye has a unique style of acting, he is also vigorous and resolute, and can always produce miraculous results."

"The other thing is that this disaster has affected hundreds of thousands of people, and the money and food allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court is actually a drop in the bucket."

"The remaining money and food for the disaster relief needs to be raised by the imperial envoy!"

"Master Ye not only has a full treasury, but also has intricate personal connections, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and three religions and nine streams."

"It shouldn't be a problem for him to be the imperial envoy!"

"."

Hu Weiyong's reasons are all feasible from the literal meaning.

A group of officials who did not understand the situation, as well as Hu Weiyong's party members, also joined in.

Xu Da and others frowned, because they knew that Hu Weiyong was causing trouble for Ye Qing.

If you don’t do disaster relief well, you will offend the people and lose your reputation!

But if it is done well, it will offend a large number of officials and businessmen!

But then I thought about it, it seems that Ye Qing has never been afraid of offending people, and he even takes pleasure in offending people!

Thinking of this, Xu Da and others couldn't help but think that sending Ye Qing to provide disaster relief might actually have a miraculous effect.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma are willing to help him after he offends officials and businessmen, there will be nothing to fear.

In their view, Ye Qing was not afraid of offending officials and businessmen, but he would never offend the people. He was even very skillful in handling people's affairs.

Thinking of this, Xu Da and others couldn't help but look forward to it.

They expected Ye Qing to take over this job and do it well, leaving Hu Weiyong and others 'disappointed'.

Zhu Yuanzhang can also think of the problems that Xu Da and others can think of.

He also felt that letting Ye Qing do this errand was a good choice.

First of all, this job is not easy to do and has a certain degree of difficulty, which perfectly fits his original intention that Zhu Yuanzhang has a hard time and does not want Ye Qing to be leisurely and contented.

Another thing is that he is also very clear about Ye Qing's principle, that is, although he is always a troublemaker, he is very considerate of these troublemakers and does not regard the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries as human beings!

It has to be said that this principle of Ye Qing is one of the important reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang has endured so far.

Because of this, he believed that Ye Qing could be worthy of the people affected by the disaster. As for whether he was worthy of the officials and businessmen of that party, it was completely unimportant.

But he also believed that no matter how well he, Ye Qing, did his job, he would still be able to find faults.

Yes,

He and Hu Weiyong had the same goal, they both wanted to punish Ye Qing, but Hu Weiyong wanted to punish Ye Qing to death, but he just wanted to punish Ye Qing until he died.

What does it mean to live and die?

That was to make sure that he, Ye Qing, could do his job well, but he didn't do it perfectly.

As long as this is the result, it can ensure that he can take care of Ye Qing properly, and at the same time ensure that Hu Weiyong cannot take care of Ye Qing.

Originally!

Being able to do a good job in providing disaster relief is extremely valuable.

Throughout history, no one has been able to do the job of disaster relief perfectly.

Thinking of this, he began to look forward to it, looking forward to Ye Qing's return from exhaustion, and then he could openly praise and then criticize.

This kind of result that can take good care of the people and achieve his personal goals at the same time is perfect for him, Zhu Yuanzhang!

Thinking of this, he was about to blurt out the word 'Zhunzou'.

But when the words came to his lips, he quickly swallowed them.

Just because he suddenly thought of an unwritten rule in their family, that is, matters involving Ye Qing need to be discussed from behind.

"Let us consider this matter."

"We will prepare as much food as the Ministry of Household Affairs can provide. We will announce the candidates for the imperial envoy for disaster relief tomorrow morning."

"."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Hu Weiyong and others stopped admonishing.

When it comes to Ye Qing, everyone already knows that the emperor has to go home to discuss the matter.

But Hu Weiyong was also fully confident that even Queen Ma would definitely agree with him.

Because the reasons he mentioned are indeed very reasonable.

Looking at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter in terms of financial resources or connections, none of them was as suitable as Ye Qing!

After the morning session,

Empress Ma, who was busy with harem affairs, received a notice that "the emperor has something to discuss, and it concerns Ye Qing."

Empress Ma also put down her affairs and walked all the way to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang explained the affairs of the DPRK concisely and clearly.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Empress Ma disapproved and said: "I thought it was something important!"

"Your Majesty can make the decision on this matter."

"If word gets out about this, history will remember me as a crime of 'participating in political affairs in the harem'."

"As long as you support Ye Qing after he offends the powerful, the rest is up to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Ma stopped talking to Zhu Yuanzhang and went directly back to her harem.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma's retreating back, and sighed helplessly: "You are just giving us suggestions, there is no such thing as harem participation in politics!"

"."

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Dragon Case and sat down behind the throne, he picked up his pen and began to write the imperial edict.

After writing the imperial edict that must be read openly, he began to write the secret edict that cannot be read openly.

The content of the secret decree: "As long as you are worthy of the people, I will take care of it for you if you offend the powerful!"

But as soon as he put the secret decree into the envelope, the secret decree and the envelope were all burned by the fire.

There is no other reason,

He still wanted Ye Qing to take it easy and not let him wipe his butt so much. Since he met Ye Qing, he has wiped Ye Qing's butt countless times.

He knew that if Ye Qing got this secret decree, he would definitely act lawlessly.

By that time, Zhu Yuanzhang will have a lot to do!

Of course, even if there was no such secret decree, he would still give Ye Qing the truth!

The reason why he didn't give this secret edict was because he didn't want to hide so much!

Early the next morning,

Zhu Yuanzhang announced his decision to appoint Ye Qing as the imperial envoy for disaster relief at the senior official level in the court hall.

At the same time, the team delivering the decree also rode fast horses to Ningbo Prefecture and the major government offices in the disaster area.

Since the situation was urgent, there was no need for eunuchs who could not ride fast horses to deliver the edicts. All the eunuchs who could not ride fast horses were used to announce the edicts!

Early morning two days later,

After passing the order, Jin Yiwei went directly to Ye Qing's private residence.

"grown ups,"

"Don't sleep, the imperial envoy is here to deliver the order."

Outside the door, the servants knocked on the door hurriedly and shouted hurriedly.

Ye Qing just lazily opened one eye, and then said impatiently: "Let him wait, don't you know that I want to sleep in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing turned over and continued to sleep.

On this hot day, if you don’t get enough sleep in the morning while the temperature is low, you won’t be able to sleep when the sun shines and the temperature rises!

Every time summer comes, Ye Qing becomes more determined to return to modern times.

So what if he is extremely rich here? He is not as good as modern people, and they don't even have air conditioning.

Are you building an air conditioner here?

Just dream!

Therefore, he must work hard to return home!

Just when Ye Qing once again strengthened his determination to work hard to return home, the servant knocked on the door again and said: "Sir, the imperial envoy is very worried and said there is something urgent."

When Ye Qing heard the word "urgency", he immediately sat up.

He had a strong intuition that Zhu Yuanzhang was here to send him home!

Thinking of this, he quickly put on short sleeves, put on slippers and went out.

Ye Qing thought that if he could go home as soon as possible, his business with the Japanese country would not be delayed and he could just leave it to Wu Yong and Mr. Guo.

As long as the production tasks of the Donghai Mining Development Group are completed, the two of them plus Xu Da and others can successfully complete this business with a guaranteed profit.

This can be regarded as his thank you gift to Zhu Yuanzhang!

"My lord, accept the order!"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing bowed decisively and casually.

In the eyes of the imperial guard, the legendary Lord Ye really disrespected the emperor.

The short sleeves were unbuttoned, the wide trousers were no more than the knees, and the flip-flop-style sandals were too cool and disrespectful.

If it were other officials, they would have to fight twenty times before making any decisions.

But when he thought of the legendary story of Ye Qing using imperial edicts to flatter him, he pretended not to have seen it.

Besides, time is running out, and the people in the disaster area are still waiting for Mr. Ye to come to provide disaster relief!

When Jin Yiwei thought of this, he immediately opened the imperial edict and read it out.

There are only two main contents of the imperial edict:

First, appoint Ye Qing as the Imperial Disaster Relief Envoy at the senior official level!

Secondly, there is only so much money and food that the imperial court can give, and it has been shipped to Zhengzhou first. He has to find a solution for the remaining huge gap by himself!

After Jin Yiwei read out the imperial edict, he was still a little afraid that Ye Qing would lose his temper.

Because the content of this imperial edict seems a bit like letting Ye Qing's blood be released in the name of disaster relief.

But Ye Qing's performance was something he didn't expect at all.

Ye Qing smiled and took the imperial edict and said, "Okay, you go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor that I will take over this job."

"It just so happens that I have so much free time recently that I really can't find a way to hang out."

"Going for a walk is a good way to relax."

With that said, Ye Qing arranged for the one hundred guan of treasure notes brought by his servants to be used as tea expenses for the imperial envoy.

After Jin Yiwei accepted it happily, he never expected that he could make this money without being scolded or looking bad?

After returning home, he has something to show off!

"Master Ye, the matter is urgent. We hope to leave as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, people have already gone to the major government offices in the disaster area to inform you that they are going to pass the imperial envoy."

After Jin Yiwei reminded him with a smile, he bowed and left respectfully.

After Ye Qing watched the Jin Yiwei go away, he looked directly in the direction of Ying Tian Mansion, his eyes still very deep.

He knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking. He just felt that he made too much and should go out and have his blood bled!

But it was absolutely impossible for him to spit out what he had eaten.

His principles will never change. As long as he is not killed, he will be a glutton who only eats but never vomits!

As for the shortfall in money and food for disaster relief, he has plenty of solutions.

And his method was so angry that Zhu Yuanzhang had to kill him!

To be more precise, if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't kill him, it won't be enough to make the people angry!

"Someone is coming,"

"Inform Mr. Wu and ask him to serve as magistrate, co-prefect, and magistrate. All of them will be done."

"I want to go out to relax and escape the heat."

The servant just smiled sheepishly and said, "Sir, isn't the previous notice a bit redundant?"

After Ye Qing thought about it for a while, he felt that this was indeed the case.

Even if he was here every day, wouldn't Wu Yong have done the work of three officials by himself?

"I want to take Wan'er with me to relax and ask him to take care of the cashier's affairs."

After the servant bowed, he quickly announced the matter. This notification was not redundant at all.

Early the next morning,

Ye Qing got on his luxurious carriage.

Ye Qing and Shen Waner took the main seats at the back. Two dedicated maids sat alone on the left and right sides. There was also everything on the coffee table in the middle.

Just when the wheel was turning, Ye Qing was about to lie down habitually.

When Shen Wan'er saw Ye Qing about to lie on her lap, she was also shy, but at the same time there was a look of expectation and joy on her face.

But at this moment,

Ye Qing suddenly changed direction and used a maid's thigh as a pillow.

Shen Wan'er looked at this scene, but she was disappointed and sighed lightly.

But the two maids gave her an encouraging look.

how to say!

Although I am a little disappointed, it is still a big progress.

In the past, Ye Qing wouldn't have even made such a subconscious move.

Shen Wan'er just smiled and nodded, and then rekindled her fighting spirit.

She believed that as long as she played a good role as a housekeeper, she would eventually melt this hard-hearted person.

In fact, Ye Qing is really not hard-hearted, he just doesn't want to owe any more love debt.

Soon after, this grain merchant group with 300 grain escorts left the boundary of Ningbo Prefecture and headed all the way to Zhengzhou.

But at the same time,

Another small caravan also left the boundary of Yingtian Mansion! .
