The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 363 Lord Ye accepted the order readily and rejected the good intentions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da. The important weapon of the country is about to be released!

A few days later, in the early morning, this team of messengers entered Ningbo City.

Just like last time, both the person carrying the imperial edict and the accompanying guards behind him were all uniformed guards.

Ye Qing has been put on the "blacklist" by the eunuchs who passed the order, and everyone is afraid of seeing his bad face.

Of course, these imperial envoys did not dare to say clearly that they would not go. They could only get sick in various ways when they heard that they were going to convey orders to Ye Qing.

Soon, the royal guards arrived at the gate of Ningbo government office.

After a while, the yamen servant from the mansion ran to the back yamen and knocked on the door of Ye Qing's room.

"Master Ye,"

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

In the room, Ye Qing lazily opened one eye.

After recovering his composure for a long time, he finally said angrily: "I just came back last night. Is this unscrupulous boss Zhu Chongba planning something to make me miserable?"

"Let them wait until I feel comfortable sleeping!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing turned around decisively and wrapped himself in a quilt to block the sunlight that came through the window. It was enough to just expose his buttocks and bask in the sun!

"Yes, my lord!"

The yamen servants didn't dare to disobey, so they could only run back all the way to convey Master Ye's wishes.

As for the disrespectful remark about 'unscrupulous boss Zhu Chongba', they were already used to it.

Even in their opinion, their Lord Ye has completely grasped the morbid psychology of the superior, that is, the more disrespectful he is to him, the easier his life will be for Ye Qing.

The so-called 'the higher the position, the lower the power', is really a wise saying.

But he also knew deeply that this wise saying only applies to Mr. Ye, who can do everything except go to heaven and earth!

After a while, the yamen servant came to the gate.

He politely replied to Jin Yiwei, "Our Lord Ye just came back yesterday, and he still wants to sleep for a while."

The imperial guards just sighed and said, "Okay, we'll wait here."

The guards who followed also shook their heads helplessly and sighed.

Just like the legend says, the most worthless thing in front of Mr. Ye is the word "imperial envoy".

But at this moment, the yamen servant reminded him politely: "Don't block the way at the gate. There are so many people coming to do things, so just wait there!"

The Jin Yiwei looked at the direction of the Yamen servant's finger and their eyes widened.

Do you want them to squat in a corner and wait with this imperial edict saying, "It's like I'm here in person"?

But before they could express their opinions, the Yamen servant decisively turned around and returned to the house!

The Imperial Guards who conveyed the imperial edict were helpless. What could they do in the face of such a person who dared to flatter himself with the imperial edict and who not only survived but was also promoted so quickly?

It's not just that he carries the imperial edict of 'I am here in person', leads the horse, and stands in a row with the gilded stone lion guarding the door, waiting for Mr. Ye to wake up from his sleep.

"Look, the imperial guard who passed the order is standing next to the stone lion waiting?"

"Master Ye is becoming more and more favored by His Majesty. His Majesty must have known that Master Ye had just finished serving as an imperial envoy for disaster relief, and that's why he told the imperial guards not to disturb Master Ye too early."

"That is to say, Lord Ye has this ability. It is our honor to do some business under the shade of Lord Ye!"

"."

The people who were entering the mansion to do business looked at this scene and all started talking about it.

When the imperial guards listened to these words, they could only lower their heads and remain silent.

At the same time, they also had plans to drag Ye Qing into the 'blacklist'!

After a while, Ye Qing finally woke up naturally.

He turned over and lay on the bed, complaining to himself as he regained consciousness.

He also knew that the only way he could get his wish was through this sudden imperial edict.

But he just wanted them to wait for a while. There was no reason to announce another decree just after finishing the errand.

Finally, Shen Wan'er and his two dedicated maids came to help him put on his official uniform.

Before he could walk out of the house, he saw Wu Yong hurriedly running to join him.

Wu Yong looked at Mr. Ye who dared to let the imperial envoy wait for half an hour with a look of hatred.

"My Lord Ye, don't go too far."

"Everything has a degree, or isn't that what you taught me?"

Ye Qing patted Wu Yong's shoulder and said: "It's okay, everything is within my limits."

Wu Yong looked at Ye Qing who was not in a hurry, and felt that he was still a little too busy at this speed.

After a while, they finally arrived at the gate of the government office.

Wu Yong ran behind the stone lion and said to the imperial guards who were about to fall asleep standing up: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"I'm really sorry. We, Mr. Ye, just came back last night. It was really hard."

"It's just a joke, let's go have a drink!"

Having said this, Wu Yong took out a stack of treasure banknotes from his arms, and in each hand was a Ming Dynasty treasure banknote with the denomination of 'Hundred Guan'.

The imperial guards' eyes immediately lit up, and then they smiled. In an instant, they no longer felt tired from riding a fast horse, and even felt very refreshed.

As for the matter of dragging Ye Qing into the "blacklist", he was completely forgotten about it in an instant.

The imperial guard carrying the imperial edict smiled and said, "You are Mr. Wu, right?"

"Did you remember it wrong?"

"We just arrived, and before we even had time to take a breath, Lord Ye came out to meet the order."

The other Jin Yiwei who served as guards for this trip also smiled and nodded, feeling that what the Jin Yiwei said was very right.

In this way, they arrived in front of Ye Qing with great enthusiasm.

In front of everyone, the imperial guard showed that the wax seal of the leather tube containing the imperial edict was intact, and they did not look at it secretly.

Immediately afterwards, in front of everyone, he opened the wax seal and opened the imperial edict.

Ye Qing looked at this scene. Although he still had expectations, he didn't expect much anymore.

If the things he did could lead to his death, he would never be able to return to Ningbo Mansion.

It is enough to prove that this imperial edict is almost impossible. It is an edict to kill him!

But at the same time, he also had other expectations.

"The surname is Zhu,"

"If you think I have many skills, then you can continue to make trouble for me and see if I can tear up this unscrupulous boss's decree."

"."

Just when Ye Qing was thinking like this, the imperial guards began to read out the imperial edict.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and Zhi said:"

"Ye Qing, the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture, has both political integrity and talent, and has made great contributions in disaster relief. I will remember your great contribution once, and I will reward you as well after the expiration of your term of office in Ningbo Prefecture."

Hearing this, Ye Qing just grinned.

As expected, he is an unscrupulous boss, and his ability to write bad checks and draw big pie is not ordinary.

Of course, he didn't care about this at all. He just wanted to go home as soon as possible, and he was only interested in things that could help him get home as soon as possible.

Just when Ye Qing was thinking about it truthfully, the imperial guard continued to read: "Nowadays, there are no great talents in the court, and it is impossible to implement the national policies of [dividing people into acres] and [gentry serving as errands and paying grain as one]!" " I have specially appointed Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, as an imperial envoy to go to Guide Prefecture in Henan and Jining Prefecture in Shandong to conduct pilot projects of two major national policies."

"Appreciate this!"

As soon as Jin Yiwei finished speaking, he was already prepared to be scorned by Ye Qing.

It's not impossible to pay for tea with a hundred dollars, not to mention being scorned, even if it's spat on.

"Your Majesty Ye Qing, accept the order!"

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the scene in front of them.

What about those who promised to show off their faces and those who promised to use imperial edicts to flatter and flatter others?

Why did you just accept the order with both hands?

Before these people could react, Ye Qing put away the imperial edict and said with a polite smile: "Please go back and tell your majesty, the imperial envoy."

"I must do my best to complete this errand. No, it should be because I am doing my best to complete this errand. Even if I am broken into pieces, I will not be afraid."

"But your Majesty, please allow me to wait for a month before setting off. Anyway, it won't be something that can happen overnight."

"."

The reason why Ye Qing readily agreed was because he felt that it was very 'profitable' for him.

Obviously, this must be someone in the court who wanted to punish him and made some comments to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even without thinking about it, he can understand those rhetorics!

It's just that if Ye Qing is capable, he should be allowed to go to the hometown of Confucius and Mencius to conduct a nationwide trial of these two national policies.

As long as the two thousand-year-old families of Confucius and Mencius are settled, it is equivalent to settling the world's scholar-bureaucrats.

As a result, the nationwide promotion of these two major national policies is just around the corner.

But their real purpose was to make him, Ye Qing, the enemy of these two thousand-year-old families.

The world only knows that they are models of scholars, but they don’t know that they are models who talk about benevolence and morality but are full of bad ideas.

These two major national policies are undoubtedly intended to exploit their flesh and blood, and even more so to allow them to take out all their millennium-old foundations.

Because of this, they will definitely fight Ye Qing to the death!

In the eyes of those in the court who wanted to punish him, Ye Qing could never defeat these two thousand-year-old families.

As long as these two major national policies were defeated in Ye Qing's hands, they could justly borrow Zhu Yuanzhang's sword to kill him!

Logically speaking, for him, Ye Qing, this was considered a favor, and he should do as they wished.

But if he really does what they want and deliberately loses the battle, then he will have to be regarded as 'causing disaster to the country and the people'.

He would never do something like this that would ruin hundreds of years of merit in one fell swoop!

Besides, he really wanted to seize this opportunity to compete with these two thousand-year-old families!

This is very consistent with his hobby of "playing with people is more fun than playing with others", and is even more consistent with his other hobby of "playing with big people is the most fun"!

Not only that, he also felt that he had the ability to successfully pilot these two national policies in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and at the same time, he could also make Zhu Yuanzhang obediently give him Ye Qing to death!

Why not do this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone?

Anyway, the cooperation with the Japanese and Northern and Southern Dynasties has not started for so long. I am idle, so I might as well have some fun.

Anyway, even if he goes home early, Zhu Yuanzhang will continue this cooperation with the Japanese and Southern and Northern Dynasties after seeing the 'legacy' he left behind!

Just when Ye Qing was thinking like this,

The Imperial Guard, who was about to get on his horse, reminded him with a smile: "Master Ye, Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message."

"If you find it difficult to do this job, you can ask Marshals Xu Da and Wang Baobao for help."

"With the two marshals here, the Han and Mongolian soldiers and civilians in those two places will fully support you!"

Ye Qing immediately shook his head and refused: "No, no, no, it's completely unnecessary."

"Thank you for your Majesty's kindness for me. There is no need to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. The two marshals want to lead troops to fight and open up territory for the Ming Dynasty."

"This kind of trivial matter is enough for me, a weak scholar!"

After saying that, he said politely: "Go slowly, I won't send you off!"

The imperial guards looked at Ye Qing, who was very polite and polite, and felt very unbelievable.

Things that were a headache for so many big shots in the court, but he thought it was a trivial matter?

But when they thought of Ye Qing's past political achievements and meritorious service, they put away their doubts.

They just bowed and then got on their horses and returned to Beijing to resume their duties.

But just as they walked away, and Ye Qing was about to turn around and go back home, he saw four pairs of sharp eyes.

Wu Yong, Shen Waner and his two dedicated maids all looked at him with very sharp eyes.

Ye Qing naturally knew why they were looking at him like this, but he just said more sternly: "Have you all eaten some courage?"

"You can't tell the difference between the big and the small king, can you?"

"How dare you look at me like this, one by one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing flicked his sleeves and went directly back to his mansion to continue spending time.

Wu Yong looked at Ye Qing's back and sighed helplessly: "No, can you accept this kind of job?"

"What did he think?"

"Can he fight against those two big families with thousands of years of heritage?"

While Shen Wan'er bit her red lips secretly, she also said with firm eyes: "I don't care, I have to ask clearly. Even if he hits me, I will ask clearly."

But before she could take a step forward, she was stopped by Wu Yong.

Wu Yong said seriously: "Miss Shen, do you think Mr. Ye is really angry?"

"Master Ye, he just doesn't want to waste his time explaining to us!"

"It's useless if you go now!"

Having said this, Wu Yong looked in the direction where Ye Qing disappeared and said helplessly: "I hope it's just us who are ignorant again and don't understand Master Ye's true intention!"

"I hope his true intention is to make meritorious deeds again and prepare for promotion and fortune!"

"I also hope that things are really as he said. To him, it is just a trivial matter!"

"."

As soon as Wu Yong finished speaking, Shen Wan'er and Ye Qing's two exclusive maids also started thinking.

Many times in the past, they also thought the matter was very serious, but they, Mr. Ye, thought it was just a trivial matter.

But the final result proved every time that what they thought was a serious matter was indeed a trivial matter in the hands of their Lord Ye.

Things that they thought were bad things turned out to be good things in the end!

Thinking of this, they were not ready to go to Ye Qing to ask about this matter!

After half a month,

The Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan came to Ningbo Mansion to meet with Ye Qing and asked when they would start their two cooperation projects.

Ye Qing's reply was also very simple, all with the words 'fear the hammer'.

A month later,

News came from [Donghai Mining Development Group] that a sample of the 'national weapon' designed by Ye Qing has been completed.

As long as he passes the inspection, full production can begin! .
