The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 370 Mr. Ye worked hard to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from being forced into the palace. The two generals changed their careers and became snitches!

"Who needs their help?"

"Can I share such a big credit with them?"

"The cake is so big. If most of it is divided between the two of them, what will I eat?"

"If I don't have anything to eat, what will you eat?"

Just when Ye Qing was doing some ideological work for Shen Wan'er forcefully, Shen Wan'er said directly: "What is the cake? Can you eat it?"

Ye Qing just blinked and felt that these girls, no matter what age they were, all focused on eating.

Ye Qing just smiled lightly and said, "I can eat it, why can't I eat it?"

"The cake is scallion pancake and pancake fruit, why can't you eat it?"

Shen Wan'er frowned slightly and said, "Really? Why haven't I heard that green onion pancakes and pancake fruits have such names?"

Ye Qing just said helplessly: "There are many things you haven't heard of."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped continuing the topic.

In his opinion, this was just a slip of the tongue that he would make very occasionally, and he could simply explain it in a few sentences, so as not to spoil the housekeeper who broke the casserole and asked for the truth.

Besides, for a senior foodie like him, cakes are really not as delicious as scallion pancakes and pancakes.

Shortly after Ye Qing ended the topic forcefully, Shen Wan'er continued to worry: "But if you don't let the two marshals intervene, can you accomplish this?"

Ye Qing said firmly: "There is no problem at all!"

"Since I have this appetite, I have this ability!"

Seeing Ye Qing say such a sentence so forcefully and resolutely, Shen Wan'er no longer had any doubts.

In fact, she didn't doubt the ability of her Lord Ye. In fact, the two families had been in business for thousands of years, and their relationships were intricate. Their tentacles had extended to scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, as well as the military and political circles!

The so-called 'strong dragon does not overwhelm local snakes' could not be more appropriate when applied to the Confucius and Mencius families at this time.

Thinking of this, although Shen Wan'er did not doubt her Master Ye at all, the worried look in her eyes could not go away.

Of course Ye Qing could tell that Shen Wan'er was worried about him, but he just selectively turned a blind eye.

Besides, he can really accomplish this!

What about the two thousand-year-old families?

Even if it’s a millennium family, that’s just the foundation accumulated over generations!

And he, Ye Qing, is a real thousand-year-old fairy. Although he does not have such a strong background, he has hundreds of years of life experience in ten lifetimes.

For him, it's just a fight with some hairless brats!

And he is not without any background in this life. Whether it is the previous Yanmen County or the current Ningbo Prefecture, that is his background.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was bullied by him to such an extent that he refused to kill him, and Xu Da and Wang Baobao, his lifelong friends, are also his heritage.

It's just that he doesn't need these foundations to get things done.

how to say?

Since you have this ability, let’s take care of this matter for Ming Dynasty!

Even if it is to help the Ming Dynasty continue to Zuo for 600 years, I can do something convenient.

Another thing is that he proposed this national policy, and there is nothing wrong with him doing it himself.

Of course, he has to do things.

But he will also control this degree, and he will never let the Confucius and Mencius family do things that he is convinced of.

He would only get things done and make the Confucius and Mencius families hate him so much that Ye Qing's blood would pour out of him!

Only in this way can he get things done and at the same time let them be his helpers in sending him home.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing has already started to look forward to it.

He looked forward to the scene of Confucius and Mencius leading the world's scholars to 'attack' Yingtian Mansion.

It is best to bring the portraits of Confucius and Mencius, as well as their handed down classics.

And they only have one appeal, and that is to ask the emperor to kill the lawless Ye Qing!

"My wise and mighty Emperor, when that time comes, how will you take action?"

"If that happens, can you still protect me?"

"Even if I, a thousand-year-old demon, lose to a little brat like you!"

"."

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just smiled lightly, sat down and closed his eyes.

A few days later,

Xu Da, Wang Baobao and their group had already arrived at the only way Ye Qing could go to Guide Mansion, and it was also their meeting point.

Inside the post station, Xu Da asked Yi Cheng: "Has the motorcade of Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, passed by?"

Yi Cheng bowed his hands and said: "Back to Xu Shuai, Lord Ye's team has not passed by."

Wang Baobao, Xu Miaojin and Mei Duolam, who were eating around the Eight Immortals table, also had a strong idea in their hearts.

It was just as Xu Da expected. Ye Qing was famous for not being in a hurry for anything. If he hadn't been delayed for a month on the road, he wouldn't have been able to reach Guide Mansion.

After Xu Da nodded, he just gave a serious order: "We will wait for him here. You must closely monitor Lord Ye's motorcade."

"If he passes through this place, he must report it to me in time!"

Yi Cheng bowed his hands again and said: "Please rest assured, Commander Xu, I will definitely do it."

After Xu Da asked Yi Cheng to step aside, he began to eat the food.

At the same time, he also said to Wang Baobao: "Let's rest for two days, and then we will pretend to be small traders and go into the city to investigate."

"I think Hu Weiyong and Kong Kebiao will definitely give advice to the Kong family in Guide Mansion."

Wang Baobao just glanced at Xu Da's eyes and knew how he was going to pry.

This is going back to my youth again!

It can also be said that Xu Da wants to be a snitch!

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao just smiled lightly and said: "I will have people prepare bamboo hats, raincoats and night clothes tomorrow."

Xu Da immediately smiled and said: "Sure enough, your boy knows me better than my late wife."

Wang Baobao also smiled confidently and said: "Otherwise, how come you have defeated me so many times but never caught me?"

Xu Da just shook his head helplessly. He never expected that Wang Baobao would be so shameless.

He, Xu Da, defeated him, Wang Baobao, but couldn't catch him. Can he become his capital?

Just when Xu Da and Wang Baobao made such a decision, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the Imperial Study Room, was also making his arrangements.

In the imperial study room,

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Mao Xiang who was summoned: "Xuda and the others should have arrived at Guide Mansion, but they will definitely not enter the city."

"Both he and Wang Baobao are used to being cautious, and they will definitely go into the city in disguise to inquire."

"As for Ye Qing"

When he talked about Ye Qing, who was not in a hurry about anything, as if time was worthless in his eyes, he became angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said, "Then Ye Qing must still be delayed on the road. He has only walked half the distance at most."

"Then that bastard has never thought that by wasting time, they are giving Hu Weiyong and the others time to come up with countermeasures?"

When Mao Xiang heard this, he couldn't say much.

In this palace, he would not dare to plead with Ye Qing!

Besides, after being together for so long, he felt that he didn't need to plead with Ye Qing.

Because Ye Qing is a man who cannot be killed even if the emperor wants to. Only the empress can kill him if she wants to!

But if the Queen and the Empress want to kill him, and Mao Xiang wants to beg for mercy, he just wants to be buried with Ye Qing!

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang simply said nothing and just listened to him vent.

After the emperor has finished venting his anger, he can do whatever errands he is asked to do. Just when Mao Xiang was making such calculations, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ordered: "In the evenings of the past few days, you and Jiang Wei will take turns visiting Hu Weiyong's house to see if they have come up with any countermeasures."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Xiang quickly left.

Seeing Mao Xiang who was so eager to leave him, Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled suddenly.

"This boy, how do you not want to see us?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately became serious again.

That night, Mao Xiang changed into his night clothes and took advantage of the dusk to touch the roof of the meeting hall of Hu Weiyong's house.

Soon, he opened up a piece of tile, but it was only as wide as the black pupils of his eyes.

Just when he lay down completely, he saw Hu Weiyong soaking his feet and eating fruit.

The maid at home was washing his feet. It was more like rubbing his feet than washing them.

Since Mao Xiang's perspective was from top to bottom, he saw the maid very clearly.

"This Hu Weiyong really knows how to enjoy it!"

"Right,"

"Hu Xiang, he doesn't know how to enjoy, how can he be Hu Xiang?"

A moment later, there was a knock on the door in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a cloaked figure walked in.

Although his attire was mysterious, his tall and large physique immediately betrayed his identity.

Mao Xiang didn't expect his true face at all, because he knew that this person must be Kong Kebiao.

As expected, Kong Kebiao took off his cloak and bowed deeply to Hu Weiyong: "I am the official, and I want to pay my respects to Prime Minister Hu."

"Master Kong is here?"

"You're welcome, sit down wherever you want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he arranged for his servants to serve tea to Kong Kebiao.

Just when the servants served hot tea and took away Hu Weiyong's foot-washing water, the two began to discuss countermeasures.

Kong Kebiao said: "Prime Minister Hu, people from my hometown wrote back and said that Ye Qing and Xu Da haven't arrived yet, and we can give them another idea."

"No, I'm here to ask Mr. Hu!"

Hu Weiyong also felt helpless in his heart. Didn't he say enough after going to court that day?

As long as they act according to his instructions, Ye Qing and the others won't be able to accomplish this!

Although Hu Weiyong thought so, he still said relatively politely: "After going to court that day, the truth has been revealed a lot."

"As long as you follow the instructions of the truth, let alone them, even if the gods come down to earth, they won't be able to do it."

"correct,"

"Ask them to guard fifty miles outside the city. Once they find out that Ye Qing and the others have arrived, they will immediately notify them to go out of the city to greet them."

"It must be the local officials and squires, led by your Kong family, who will go out of the city to greet you!"

"Of course, whether it's a welcome or reception banquet, the ostentation cannot be too high."

"In this way, firstly, he will not lose your face, and secondly, you can let him know that you have the ability to know when he will come, and it can also show the strength of your Kong family."

"Treat each other politely, but not extravagantly, and he will have to give you this face, because if he refutes your face, it is his fault!"

"You have to live up to your reputation first, and show your sincerity first."

"."

After Mao Xiang listened here for a long time, he found that there was nothing else besides arranging how to make Ye Qing unable to refute their face.

But the key point is what Hu Weiyong said to him, Kong Kebiao, after going to court that day.

But he had no way of knowing those words!

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang felt that there was no need for him to stay here and continue to risk being discovered.

Half an hour later,

Mao Xiang, dressed in night clothes, appeared in the imperial study room again.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial, looked at Mao Xiang and said, "What did they say?"

After Mao Xiang bowed his hands, he repeated in his own language what Hu Weiyong said to Kong Kebiao.

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled indifferently and said: "This Hu Weiyong is really a good person in terms of human relations and sophistication!"

"On this level, he, Ye Qing, will not agree to survive."

"That's fine, so that Ye Qing won't always act like I'm the best in the world in front of us."

"How about 'I'm a clumsy person'!"

"Everything we think about makes me sick!"

After he habitually complained about Ye Qing, he immediately became serious.

"Didn't he say what he said to Kong Kebiao after he went to court that day?"

Mao Xiang shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say it at all!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mao Xiang to go down and rest.

Immediately afterwards, he walked outside the imperial study and looked in the direction of Henan Guide Mansion alone.

"As long as you do what he says, even if the gods come, it still won't work?"

"Well, Hu Weiyong, you are really capable!"

"It's a pity that you and we are not on the same page!"

"."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes only jumped, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Then, his eyes became firm.

In his opinion, now he can only place his hope on Xu Da and Wang Baobao.

He knew Xu Da's style of doing things. When fighting, he would definitely send scouts to find out the opponent's approach first.

Now, in order to fight this war without gunpowder, he will definitely persuade Wang Baobao to join him and personally serve as a scout to find out the enemy's situation.

If you want to know what ideas Hu Weiyong gave the Kong family that day, you can only rely on the two of them.

In fact, even without Xu Da and the other two, Ye Qing could know.

Because his other in-law, Lu Ben, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who seemed to be a moderate and conscientious one on the surface, had already sent people to guard Ye Qing.

A few days later, Kong Kebiao's letter sent to Guide Mansion in Henan was delivered at an expedited speed of 600 miles.

That night, local military and political officials and wealthy country squires rushed to the thousand-year-old Confucius Mansion.

Of course, they were not the only ones who rushed here, there were also two uninvited snitches.

And these two snitches are the Ming Dynasty's Generalissimo Xu Da, and the Generalissimo Wang Baobao who can make the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers and people obey with just one sentence!
