The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 367 Hu Weiyong takes action against Mr. Ye, Xu Da and Wang Baobao send their daughter to fight, Lu Ben’s secret letter!

At this moment, all the civil and military officials were walking on their way to the court.

They just felt very uncomfortable. After being officials for so many years, when had they ever left court so early?

It was the first time for them to go down to court before the hour was over.

Of course, no matter how stupid they are, they still know the reason for the 'morning court' today.

It was obvious that their Emperor was teaming up with the two marshals again and treating them like fools.

How can anyone have trouble with their ancestral grave every now and then?

Isn't this a great unfilial act to disturb the ancestors' rest?

It is conceivable that they also worked hard to implement "dividing a family like a mother" and "gentlemen working as errands and taking care of their maidens".

On the way from Fengtian Hall to the various government offices,

Kong Kebiao asked Hu Weiyong: "Hu Xiang, you said that His Majesty, Xu Shuai and Wang Baobao, where are they singing?"

After Hu Weiyong heard this, he felt helpless.

Do I still need to ask?

Wasn't it just to let Xu Da and Wang Baobao secretly help Ye Qing in an unofficial capacity?

The sentence "Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, you are the tallest and the most stupid", even when it came to his lips, he could not say it out.

There is no other way. To deal with Ye Qing, we have to rely on Confucius and Mencius' thousand-year-old family like them!

Only they are qualified to "fight" with Xu Da, who has the highest prestige among the Han family's military and civilians, and Wang Baobao, who has the highest prestige among the military and civilians of Meng Yuan and Semu!

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong could only smile politely and said: "What else can cause trouble?"

"We must let the two of them go to Ye Qing's side incognito to help him implement [everything is like an acre] in your hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and [gentry and gentry work as servants and pay for food as one]."

After Kong Kebiao heard this, he just smiled with great confidence and said: "I see, this is simply fantastic. Our Confucius and Mencius families have been in business for more than a thousand years, how can two marshals be able to deal with it?"

"Can they still use force against us?"

"If force is used, the reputation of the two of them will only be written casually by the pens of the world's literati!"

Hu Weiyong feels dizzy after hearing this!

Why do you say such a big truth?

Although this itself has always been such a truth, as long as you keep it in your heart, why should you say it openly?

Looking at this descendant of Confucius, he just felt that the wife of a certain ancestor had secretly done some indescribable life event with Zhang Fei's descendant!

If not, how could we create such a reckless man in the skin of a scholar?

But he still said the same thing, he needed this sharp blade to deal with Ye Qing now, and he had no other option except to explain patiently with a smile.

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong continued to explain: "Old brother, it's better not to say such things to offend military commanders in the future."

"Also, you can't underestimate the prestige of military commanders just because your family has been in business for more than a thousand years!"

"Xu Shuai and Wang Baobao are not helping as marshals this time, but even though they are wearing beggars' clothes, they are still 'walking soldiers'!"

"You have to understand how powerful the phrase 'Walking Soldier Talisman' really is!"

"No matter how powerful the Millennium Family is, it is not as powerful as the public opinion that can carry a boat or capsize it."

"If you and your descendants want to always be a master, you can't push the common people into trouble!"

"The common people rebelled against the emperor, and rebelled against high-ranking nobles like you, all because they were forced to have no way to survive. As long as they have a way to survive and food to eat, they will not rebel!"

Kong Kebiao said in confusion: "I have only heard of rebellion against the emperor. What do you mean by rebellion against us?"

"I"

Hu Weiyong was speechless, he just felt that he was teaching children!

But in order to use their family to deal with Ye Qing, he had to say earnestly again: "The rebellion of the common people against the emperor has happened too many times in history, and there is no need to explain the truth."

"Our Emperor is a typical common people who rebelled against the Emperor!"

"And the common people's rebellion against the nobles has many forms."

"For example, if you are a corrupt official in a local area and the people risk their lives to report you, they are rebelling against you."

"The reason why they risk their lives to report you is because if they don't report you, they will be exploited and die by you!"

Hu Weiyong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kong Kebiao had finally realized something.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly took advantage of the victory and said, "Whether it's the common people jumping up the ranks to report, filing a complaint, or just turning into robbers to rob your family, they are all causing rebellion among the high-ranking nobles."

"What's the reason? The reason is that you eat too much and eat until they are destined to die!"

"Leave a way for the people to survive and do something appropriate for them. The emperor will sit back and relax, and you can also sit back and relax!"

"Now, do you know what to do to deal with Ye Qing and Xu Shuai?"

Kong Kebiao immediately said: "Give them a way to survive, just eat less."

"you"

Hu Weiyong was almost furious!

But he still took a deep breath and said directly: "I want you to 'build the plank road in the open and use the Chencang in secret'!"

"Aren't they going to Guide Prefecture in Henan Province and Jining Prefecture in Shandong Province to implement the [dividing every acre] and [the gentry working as errands and receiving food as one]?"

"Go and say hello to them, and cooperate with them openly. You will agree to whatever they say."

“But when it comes to doing things, it’s just a matter of procrastination!”

"Don't break your skin. The face you deserve is still a lot!"

"At the same time, you must make it so that it benefits the people and makes them feel that you have a conscience or that you are kind-hearted!"

"In this way, they will not rebel against you, and they will reject this strange new policy that does not know whether it is good or bad!"

"As long as they fail to achieve results for a long time, this matter will naturally become invalid."

"You have to know that they can never hold back those of you who have been rooted there for thousands of years!"

"After this matter subsides, you can take back the benefits from the people bit by bit. This is called 'boiling a frog in warm water'!"

"Of course, in the end, we can't eat everything. We must give the people a bite to eat. We must make them feel that after their hard work, they have something to look forward to in life!"

"If you take all the 'hope' in their eyes, you are not far from death!"

At this point, in order to completely convince him of his point of view, Hu Weiyong also used metaphors from aristocratic families in history.

Hu Weiyong continued: "The Five Surnames and Qiwang in the Tang Dynasty were really powerful!"

"The emperor must be polite!"

"But what about the end?"

"Hasn't it become a flash in the pan in history?"

"What's this for?"

"Do you really think it was a female emperor like Wu Zetian who did this?"

"They did it themselves. If they had done what the truth said, Wu Zetian wouldn't have been able to do it if she had been given fifty years!"

At this point, Hu Weiyong whispered: "Okay, that's all for the truth, you should understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Weiyong decisively turned around and headed towards Zhongshu Province.

"Hu Xiang, go away slowly, I will be taught by you!"

Kong Kebiao bowed respectfully and watched Hu Weiyong leave. But just after Hu Weiyong was out of his sight, he suddenly stood up with his head held high, and his eyes were full of confidence.

"The five surnames and Qiwang are not as good as our two great families of Confucius and Mencius!"

"."

Thinking of this, he decisively turned around and went straight to the Imperial Academy, which was specially designed to house the Imperial Academy, which was famous but could do nothing but talk and write.

At the same time, Lv Ben, the official secretary, came out from around the corner again.

Yes,

He followed silently and listened around the corner.

He just looked in the direction of Ningbo Mansion, his eyes deep and worried.

You must know that he is the one who cares most about Ye Qing among the cultural relics of this dynasty!

He kept it all in mind when Ye Qing took office as Ningbo Prefecture Governor, and when he was supposed to step down as Ningbo Prefecture Governor according to regulations.

Not only did he remember it in his heart, but he also personally registered it for Ye Qing!

It can be said that all of Ye Qing's current resume information was written by him, the Minister of Civil Service!

Even Ye Qing's comments were written by him himself!

Why did he do this?

It was because he discovered that Ye Qing was a potential stock, a potential stock that would definitely be recalled to the capital as an official after he resigned as Ningbo Prefecture Governor!

At that time, he would do everything he could for Ye Qing within the scope of his duties, which would serve as a stepping stone to Ye Qing's friendship.

He would not take the initiative to befriend Ye Qing!

He also understands the principle that 'the higher the position, the more humble a person becomes'!

After Ye Qing comes to the capital, he will let Ye Qing know what he has done for Ye Qing at the right time and inadvertently.

Moreover, you still know it through other people’s mouths!

In this case, Ye Qing will take the initiative to come to his door to make friends with him!

He also wouldn't pat the horse of Ye Qing, the emperor, who was famous in front of him, and would only casually say 'responsibility'!

As long as he, Ye Qing, recognizes Lu Ben as a person, his goal will be achieved!

At that time, when the relationship between the two was good, he asked Ye Qing to be his grandson's teacher. This would definitely not be too much!

As long as Ye Qing becomes the mentor of his grandson, the son of the current Crown Prince Zhu Biao's concubine Lu, his grandson will have all of Ye Qing's connections!

Who is Ye Qing's most valuable connection?

Ye Qing's most valuable connections are his grandson's grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, and his grandmother, Queen Ma.

Of course, there is also Xu Da, the "walking soldier talisman" in the Han army of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Baobao, the "walking soldier talisman" in the Mongolian and Semu armies of the Ming Dynasty!

With such connections, it would be difficult for his grandson to become the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

But the premise of all this is that he, Ye Qing, can successfully come to the court!

The prerequisite for Ye Qing to successfully come to the court is to successfully carry out [dividing every acre] and [gentlemen working as errands and paying for food] in Guide Mansion in Henan Province and Jining Mansion in Shandong Province this time. The pilot!

It is not enough to just conduct a successful pilot. It must be a successful pilot and also achieve good results!

As for Ye Qing's performance in Ninghai Mansion, he doesn't have to worry at all!

Thinking of this, he hurried back to his office and study room, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and personally wrote a letter for Ye Qing informing Hu Weiyong and Kong Kebiao of the plot.

"Somebody come!"

"Go to Guide Mansion in Henan and wait for the imperial envoy Mr. Ye. When Mr. Ye arrives, give him this secret letter!"

"Remember, don't let Mr. Ye know that this is what I did."

"If he asks, just say it was done by a 'careful person'!"

"."

In front of Lu Ben, there was a man with bright eyes. After receiving the letter, he left Lu Ben and went on an errand.

And at this moment,

Xu Da and Wang Baobao, who had successfully applied for leave, had already changed into casual clothes at their respective offices and went home to pack their luggage.

At the gate of the imperial city, the two met again, but their eyes became impure again.

Under the morning light,

The two men in casual clothes rode their own horses and walked side by side on the same road home.

Wang Baobao was the first to ask: "This time, will you take your second girl with you?"

Xu Da just rolled his eyes in front of him and blinked twice, as if he just remembered who the second girl from his family was.

Xu Da smiled and said, "Do you mean my Miaojin?"

"Don't go!"

"Not safe!"

"Guide Mansion in Henan seems to have no disasters, but there is a local snake like the Kong family with thousands of years of experience!"

"It's much more dangerous than fighting. When you and I are enemies, we still pay attention to the bottom line principle. These literati don't follow the bottom line and have no principles."

"What if they kidnap my daughter and threaten me not to interfere?"

"You know, I, Xu Da, value my daughter more than my life. How could I let her put herself in danger?"

At this point, Xu Da looked puzzled again and said: "I said, even if you bring your back to practice, you should also bring your son?"

"What, you want to pass the mantle to your daughter?"

Having said this, Xu Da nodded thoughtfully and said: "That's right, you have this custom!"

But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong.

"its not right!"

"You Wang Baobao have lived in a Han circle since you were a child, and your teachers are all Han. You don't speak Mongolian fluently. How come you have such customs?"

When Wang Baobao heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

He also felt that what Xu Da said made sense. The place he went to this time was really more dangerous than fighting.

And since they can't act as marshals, it's already good enough to ensure Ye Qing's safety.

Although Ye Qing was a good man, he couldn't let his daughter take risks.

The matter of asking his daughter to follow him to capture Ye Qing will be put on hold for the time being. The future is long!

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao also smiled and said: "That's what I think. This time I won't take my Meiduolamu with me and go out to play with me."

"We three grown men can do whatever we say!"

In this way, the two reached an agreement in front of their respective homes not to take their daughter with them!

under the sun,

Xu Da walked into the Wei Guogong Mansion on the left side of the street.

"Quickly, let the second lady pack her luggage. Let the second lady take the carriage and go through the back door. Go directly to the city gate to wait for me."

"Remember, don't see it from the 'Prince's Mansion' opposite!"

In the 'Prince's Mansion' opposite the Duke's Mansion of Wei, Wang Baobao also called his daughter Mei Duolam.

"What Uncle Xu said makes sense, that place is extremely dangerous."

"So, if you wear men's clothes and pretend to be my escort, you must not wear women's clothes outside."

"We can't let the Kong family know that you are my daughter, Wang Baobao!"

"Hurry up and pack up and go salute!".
