Outside the Imperial Study,

After the eunuch closed the door from the outside, he just waved and took away all the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting outside.

Mao Xiang in the imperial study, after making sure that there was no one outside the window, began to report to Zhu Yuanzhang everything he saw.

Hu Weiyong's letter has nothing to say, that is, he just reported everything he knew to Li Shanchang.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the original copy of the self-evaluation letter written by Ye Qing to Zhu Yuanzhang was enclosed, which was written by himself as a self-report letter.

Only Li Shanchang's reply, and Li Shanchang's words after Hu Weiyong's messenger left, looking at the direction of Yanmen County, and the change in his expression after saying those words, Mao Xiang reported in an almost scene restoration style.

The reason why Mao Xiang worked so hard was so that Zhu Yuanzhang could be as immersive as possible, and it was also for the maverick genius not to be killed by Li Shanchang.

He knew that only Zhu Yuanzhang could keep Ye Qing from being killed by Li Shanchang, and he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character even more, that is, the person he Zhu Yuanzhang had not decided to kill, if someone dared to kill first, he would definitely kill the person who dared to act before him.

He Zhu Yuanzhang's sentence 'Ye Qing's life, except for Lao Tzu, no one wants it' is enough to prove everything!

As for whether he Ye Qing will be the result of 'the emperor uses it first and then kills him' in the end, he Mao Xiao can't do anything, he can only see if he Ye Qing is angry.

In short, he will definitely do his best to prevent Ye Qing from being killed by Li Shanchang and them, as for whether he Ye Qing will be given death by Zhu Yuanzhang, he Mao Xiao can't do anything!

Under the candlelight, after Mao Xiang's report ended, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became deep.

In fact, except for Ye Qing, who can make Zhu Yuanzhang angry, no one can do it easily.

In the face of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, he will never be easily angry.

More often than not, he's all about planning and then acting!

Zhu Yuanzhang just sneered and said: "In our life, the person who is called Mr. Li is also him Li Shanchang Mr. Li, and the person who is called Master is also him Liu Bowen and Master Liu!" ”

"Now, Mr. Liu is resigned, and Mr. Li is going to sing against us again."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of imperceptible regret in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered what Ye Qing had said, Ye Qing said that he himself had a certain responsibility for causing the current situation.

He really didn't want to admit that he was the one in Ye Qing's mouth, who demanded loyalty from others, but he was disloyal and unrighteous himself.

He didn't want to admit that he was the one in Ye Qing's mouth, talking about rewarding meritorious deeds, but he was kind to his relatives and weak heroes!

But when you think about it, that's really what happened.

From the current point of view, Mu Ying's merits are far inferior to Tang He, but in addition to not being a marquis, he has received far more rewards in kind than Tang He.

Thinking of this, he just sighed and began to think about a remedy.

Finally, he thought of it!

In Mao Xiang's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang started writing with a pen: "The existing rewards are still unchanged, take back all the iron scrolls that prevent death, and promulgate the "Iron Law", whether it is the emperor's relatives or the princes and earls, those who violate the law will be punished with iron laws." ”

Writing this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a shallow smile of satisfaction.

In his opinion, his remedy is already very in place.

The existing reward remains unchanged, which is to tell the Huaixi nobles that he Zhu Yuanzhang still misses the old relationship very much, and hopes that they will be content.

And the retraction of the iron scroll and the promulgation of the "Iron Law" are a clear telling them that they no longer have a talisman, and that everyone is fair and just, and that meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who violate the law will be punished!

Whether it is a reward or a punishment, it is carried out in accordance with the iron law, and there is no favoritism!

"Mao Xiang, this edict will be handed over to you to implement, I hope they will do it themselves!"

After Mao Xiang took the edict with both hands, he took the order and left.

But just when he was about to open the door and go out, he was called back by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang just frowned and said: "Don't you think it's not good to be separated between this hundred officials and the emperor by such a Chinese prime minister!" ”

"No, help us analyze the purpose of Ye Qing's self-evaluation letter, and the analysis is so comprehensive."

"Even if it was our sister who reminded us not to give death rashly, he could analyze it, and he really deserves to be Mr. Li whom we recognize!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "When we are alive, we can still suppress such a second emperor!" ”

"But if we leave, will Biao'er be able to play with them?"

Mao Xiang already knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do.

But to put it bluntly, he was just a captain of the guard that the emperor trusted, and even if he knew, he had to pretend not to know.

In his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked him such a mouth, there could only be two reasons.

The first reason is very simple, that is, the loneliness of the emperor, when he didn't want to talk to Queen Ma and the prince, he Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one by his side.

The second reason is terrible, that is, he Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion is committed again.

The reason why he asked such a question was just to test whether he, the person closest to him besides his wife, would also be the next Li Shanchang.

But no matter what the reason is, it will definitely not be to ask him for Mao Xiang's opinion!

As long as he dares to express his opinion on this matter, it will not be far from death!

Mao Xiang just hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is just a martial artist, and the minister just wants to protect you by your side, and he doesn't understand political affairs, and he doesn't want to ask about political affairs." ”

"Minister, I'm going to retire from the errand."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled and said: "It's not in a hurry, you're tired, take two days off and then do it, you don't have to be on duty for these two days." ”

After Mao Xiang left the imperial study, he sighed with relief.

He just looked in the direction of Yanmen County, and his eyes were full of yearning.

Not bad

The No. 88 labor prisoner in Yanmen County, although he was a little 'stupid' angry, was the real Zhu Chongba, his Mao Xiang's Uncle Zhu!

He still remembers what Zhu Yuanzhang said to him, 'When you go out, we will also treat you as a junior'.

Not only that, but he also remembered that when he squeezed Zhu Yuanzhang with only a little silver and copper plate in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang just glared at him and finished it.

There are many memories like this, but they are all limited to Yanmen County!

"It's me thinking too much!"

"Your Majesty is the emperor who controls the ministers after all, and he will not always be the talkative Zhu Chongba!"

“.”

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang walked alone on the way back to the Duwei Mansion, with a little loss in his eyes.

But he didn't take two steps, and there was a strong look of anticipation in his eyes.

Because in his opinion, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang became his beloved Uncle Zhu was not because of this place in Yanmen County, but because of Ye Qing.

As long as he is with Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang will become the uncle he loves!

Thinking of this, he immediately strengthened his determination, as long as Ye Qing fought for his own strength, did not take a bite on agricultural taxes and military power, he would also do his best in the matter of Ye Qing coming to be an official!

Actually, he was wrong!

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang became his beloved Uncle Zhu was not because he was with Ye Qing at all, but because Yanmen County had essentially become his Ye Qing's territory.

Zhu Yuanzhang inspected Ye Qing on Ye Qing's territory, and naturally he had to be slightly restrained.

But once Ye Qing went to Yingtianfu to be an official alone, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was a lonely and weak scholar who could handle it at his discretion.

If Ye Qing's eloquence does not change, he Zhu Yuanzhang is very likely to become more afraid than now!

A few days later, Mao Xiang led his Jinyi guard and began to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, and Zhu Yuanzhang also began his court and political life of 'getting up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs'.

Time flies, time flies, and soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

During this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma have done a lot of things.

Queen Ma really did what she promised Zhu Yuanzhang, the money was earned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the goods belonged to him Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, as early as on their way back, Queen Ma thoroughly studied the "Guide to the Sales Method of High-end Luxury Glass Products".

She adopted one of the 'hype auction methods' and held auctions in major luxury inns in the capital.

In the end, these high-end glazed products were all purchased at high prices by dignitaries and wealthy merchants in the capital!

After the rich businessman bought it, he gave it to the dignitaries!

The dignitaries naturally knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had a precious glass vase, and they began to compete to honor him Zhu Yuanzhang!

Of course, they didn't dare to let Zhu Yuanzhang know that they bought these things at a great price.

So, they also communicated with a glass workshop, lying that the batch of glass workshops produced was very good, so they were all cheap goods with good quality.

They only stumbled upon it when they were visiting the glass market, and then they bought it to honor him Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew it, he just smiled and accepted it all, and silently wrote down their names and official positions.

When Queen Ma was doing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not idle.

He succeeded in recovering all the iron scrolls that would not die, and also succeeded in promulgating the "Iron Law", but the effect was very dissatisfied.

He didn't see the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang who praised him for becoming fair in the eyes of the officials, but what he saw was 'dare to be angry but dare not speak'.

He also reflected on this result, but no matter how he reflected, he felt that his remedy was not wrong at all.

But the facts proved him wrong again!

There is no way, but to leave this question and ask Lord Ye for advice!

In addition to this matter, he also did a big thing without Queen Ma, that is, in the name of 'Guo Rui', he built the [Yingtian Industrial Park] that he personally planned and designed on the east bank of the Qinhuai River!

Although it was built in the name of Guo Rui, Guo Rui is actually the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, so everything is as fast as God!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that after his industrial park made money, he would use the money to build the first [Yingtian Nursing Home], which was far better than Yanmen Nursing Home.

At that time, Yingtian Nursing Home would have to be run in the name of the imperial court, in the name of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for the reason why he did it without Queen Ma, it was too simple.

He wanted to surprise Queen Ma, and wanted Queen Ma to look at him with admiration, and praised, 'My family is not inferior to Ye Qing in this regard'!

On the afternoon of August 15,

In the imperial study, Queen Ma took out the 300,000 yuan she earned with interest and said, "Heavy eight, I can do what I say." ”

"You have to do what you say, and you must grant me a request in the future!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang counted the money, he said with a smile: "Sister really has you, don't worry, we will do what we say." ”

After Queen Ma heard such a promise, she smiled reassuringly, because the substantial death-free iron roll she had earned for Ye Qing was in her hands!

But just when Queen Ma was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled and said, "Sister, the 200,000 yuan you earned, can you help us pay off the treasury first?" ”

"We borrowed 200,000 yuan from the treasury, and we still have an IOU written on it!"

When Queen Ma heard this, she just blinked her eyes, and then took out a feather duster dedicated to cleaning up Zhu Yuanzhang!

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
