The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 382 Zhu Yuanzhang taught Mr. Ye to be lazy, his last time, this drama should be finished!

Three days later,

The new edict-delivery team arrived in front of the Ningbo Fufu Yamen with two golden lions.

At this moment, Ye Qing was sitting in the rocking chair, enjoying the maid's service to him.

Located in the courtyard of Ye Qing's mansion in Fuya Houya,

A maid was fanning him gently beside him, and the air mixed with the faint fragrance of grass and daughter gently blew over his cheek.

At the same time, another maid also made fragrant tea and brought it to him.

But this so-called enjoyment was a little less interesting to him.

Now, he just wants to know how Zhu Yuanzhang would let him die when he was forced into the palace by Confucius and Mencius.

Beheading outside the Meridian Gate?
It shouldn't be so easy, at least it's Ling Chi!
Maybe, we can also do some peeling and real grass!
However, this doesn't matter to him, Ye Qing, because as long as he gets Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict granting death, he will have the special effect of 'painless death'.

Even if you want to chop it alive, it is completely indifferent.

However, he still hoped that it would be better not to peel off the skin and make grass. He would have to be stripped naked before the death could be carried out.

Although painless, it is somewhat embarrassing!

But compared to the reward of returning to his hometown in modern times, he felt that it didn't matter!

Not to mention being watched by a few executioners, even if it is watched by all the people in the capital, it is still quite worthwhile!
Thinking of this, he lazily opened one eye and turned his head to look in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, his eyes still filled with anticipation.

"It's still Emperor Hongwu!"

"It's not efficient at all. It took me so long to wait for so long after I came back. What a fucking emperor!"

"."

After Ye Qing cursed a few words in his mind, he closed his eyes again and continued to goof off.

But at this moment, Wu Yong came running all the way and said: "Sir, the imperial envoy is here, the imperial envoy with the decree is here."

After hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes immediately lit up, and he almost used the 'Carp Strike' move to flip over.

He sat up straight and said, "Who are these people?"

Wu Yong said solemnly: "They are all pro-army soldiers wearing golden armor. The people delivering the decree are also wearing golden armor. There are no eunuchs following them."

When Ye Qing heard this, he felt that the matter was settled.

But then I thought about it, and I still couldn't get carried away until the last moment, because this was not the first time that the Jin Yiwei came to him to convey the order.

But no matter what, he still felt that this matter was already a sure thing.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind again to receive this imperial edict well.

Again, as long as this imperial edict fulfills Ye Qing's wish, he can kneel down to receive it.

But if this imperial edict does not go as he wishes, then he will...
Thinking of this, Ye Qing didn't dare to think any more!
As far as his experience is concerned, he is just a 'mouldy winter melon' who thinks good things are useless, but thinks bad things are very effective!
Although he is a staunch materialist, at critical moments that concern him, he feels it is better to be more spiritualistic.

Just like that, Ye Qing called his two dedicated maids and went to the dressing room with him.

In his opinion, this would be the last time they would change his clothes, the last time they would put on the Ming Dynasty official uniform for him.

Just when they were going to the dressing room, they met Shen Wan'er coming from the accounting room.

"grown ups,"

"Are you going out?"

Shen Wan'er asked expectantly.

Ye Qing knew that Shen Wan'er was not looking forward to going out with him, but looking forward to the moment when he put on his official hat.

Again, in Ye Qing's opinion, this was the last time he would wear official uniform. Anyway, goodbye, let the housekeeper who has been with me for three years do as she wants!
"Wan'er, put on your official hat for me."

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he strode into the dressing room and faced the mirror in front of him seriously.

Looking at himself in the mirror with his hair in a neat bun, he wanted to remember how he looked in ancient costume.

They say life is like a dream, and the memories of his ten lifetimes flashed quickly in his mind, and it was like a dream.

Now, it’s time to wake up!
This historical drama that has lasted for hundreds of years and covered multiple dynasties is about to be completed!

While Ye Qing was thinking like this, his two dedicated maids looked at Shen Wan'er, whose eyes were full of happiness, with envy and blessing.

Because her efforts finally paid off, and her three years of knowing each other finally got a response.

This most special and outstanding man in the world finally acquiesced in his identity as her wife!
Yes,

In this era, there is a saying that "men do not touch the head and women do not touch the waist." Non-husbands cannot touch a woman's waist, and non-official wives cannot touch a man's head.

Therefore, apart from himself and his parents, the only person who can wear a hat for a man is his wife.

Now, when Ye Qing asks Shen Wan'er to help him wear the official hat, he is telling her that Ye Qing is ready to get married, and the person he will get married to is Shen Wan'er.

Looking in front of the mirror, the two maids smiled and put on the red official uniform for Ye Qing. Shen Wan'er also smiled and put on the official hat for Ye Qing.

They didn't know Ye Qing's true thoughts. If they knew that he had such an idea that "mud can't help the wall," no matter how virtuous they were, they could still work together to kick Ye Qing out.

Moreover, he had to be scolded!
Of course, Ye Qing would never let them know his true thoughts until the last moment!
Soon, they arrived outside the gate of the government office.

At this moment, many people have gathered outside the government office, and they are all looking forward to His Majesty the Emperor's commendation to Mr. Ye.

"Your Majesty, Ye Qing, welcome the Holy Edict!"

The Jin Yiwei, who was carrying a yellow cloth baggage, only saw Ye Qing and all the officials arriving here.

Judging from the clothes and posture, etiquette is already in place.

But the only fly in the ointment is that Mr. Ye still refuses to bow!

But compared with the legendary Lord Ye's attitude in accepting orders, that has already undergone a qualitative change.

The imperial guard who conveyed the imperial edict just thought so, so he pretended not to have seen it and continued to open the imperial edict according to the procedure.

"The emperor is destined to carry the heaven, and the edict says:"

"Ye Qing, the magistrate of Ningbo, was my imperial envoy and successfully implemented the two national policies of [dividing small grains into acres] and [gentry and gentry working together as errands and paying grain as one] in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius."

"As a token of appreciation, I will give you a banquet in the Fengtian Palace to have a drink with you after I retire from office!"

"Appreciate this!"

As soon as Jin Yiwei finished speaking, he smiled again and said: "Your Majesty also asked me to bring a message to Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye will take office in less than four months."

"He is very satisfied with your political achievements in Ningbo. You don't need to do anything anymore. You can have a good rest, successfully hand over your post, and then enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."

As soon as Jin Yiwei finished speaking, everyone present became happy.

The people of Ningbo who became an official were extremely happy, and the officials of Ningbo government behind Ye Qing were also extremely happy.

Although the imperial edict did not say what official position Mr. Ye would be appointed to next, it was obvious that he would be promoted to the court.

Judging from their achievements, Lord Ye, he is at least a third-grade official!
Of course, what made them most happy was that the emperor knew that he felt sorry for their Lord Ye.

The model-worker emperor who wanted to treat his officials like plowing cattle actually asked someone to teach them, Mr. Ye, to learn to be lazy?

Isn't such a huge favor more profound than a promotion and a banquet?
But they found it very strange, because Lord Ye turned into an expressionless 'statue' when faced with such a huge favor.

Not only that, his face suddenly became much uglier!
