As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, the people who gathered opposite the county government all looked at Ye Qing, who was wearing a green robe.

At the same time, outside the gate of the county government of Yanmen County, all the county officials also looked at their Lord Ye.

Ye Qing stepped out with his head held high, and just casually arched his hand and said, "Minister, Ye Qing takes the order!" ”

It has to be a casual salute!

In view of the experience of the previous time, he would not even give Zhu Yuanzhang the least respect in advance, and he would give Zhu Yuanzhang the greatest respect only if the content of the holy decree was as he wished.

As long as the holy decree this time is as he wishes, let alone bowing deeply, it is not a problem to bow three times in a row.

But in his Ye Qing's opinion, there should be no accident this time, after all, the two conditions he put forward cannot be described as excessive, it is simply too much of its ancestor!

If there can be an accident here, he will really have no tricks for a while!

At this moment, everyone's hearts were full of expectations, but Ye Qing's expectations were completely different from everyone except him.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:"

Just hearing such a look, the expressions on Ye Qing and Wu Yong's faces became two extremes.

Ye Qing's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his whole body tightened, as if he had been struck by lightning suddenly!

Wu stretched his brows and smiled, as if a good thing had been decided!

As for the other county officials and ordinary people, except for some people who are knowledgeable and understand a little bit of court regulations, and their expressions are similar to Wu Yong's, the others are still full of expectation.

For no other reason,

Just because when Zhu Yuanzhang invented the holy decree of 'Fengtian Carrier', he had different use regulations for the last four words.

The emperor said: It is used to announce the world, and it is used when all major political affairs must be announced to the subjects of the world.

The emperor system said: It is used to express the emperor's favor, and it is only for the purpose of declaring the officials, and it is not issued to the ordinary people.

The emperor said: It is used to increase the number of officials to the knighthood, and when the officials are added to the knighthood, the officials are warned to guard against arrogance and rashness, make persistent efforts, and do not be arrogant and complacent, pampered and arrogant.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang issued the holy decree of promotion last time was to use the 'system to say', in addition to promoting the officials of the two, it does have the meaning of expressing the emperor's grace.

And now with 'Edict', it's not just about grace!

"Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County, has been an official for three years, dignified and close to the people, self-disciplined and law-abiding and has good governance, and Wenchen will support the army and not involve the army, I am very relieved."

"Special, the official is promoted to the sixth grade, and he is promoted to the fourth grade 'Ningbo Prefect'!"

"Yanmen County Cheng Wu Yong, for three years as an official, assisted by meritorious, special, official promotion to four grades, promoted to the sixth grade 'Ningbo Mansion General Judgment'!"

"The rest of the officials in Yanmen County will stay in office, and they should be rewarded, and they will be issued after the new magistrate arrives!"

"In addition, in view of the prosperity of Yanmen County, it is not easy to come by, and when Ye Qing served as the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, he led Yanmen County from afar, and the new prefect of the county was subordinate to the prefect of Taiyuan and directly under the prefect of Ningbo.

"In view of the fact that Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, has a unique way of governing the world, I now set up a 'Ningbo Special Government', and during my term of office, I will act cheaply!"

"Wangqing lives up to my expectations and creates new achievements!"

"Chin this!"

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, there was a dead silence on the scene, just because everyone was stunned.

A moment later, a big crow flew over Ye Qing's head, and a rough hoarse crow whistle that looked like a 'mocking' came out.

At the same time, there was also a miserable white crow droppings, which fell directly on Ye Qing's black gauze hat.

In the next moment, everyone except Ye Qing cheered.

On the other side of the street, some people shouted with joy that His Majesty was shengming, some clenched their fists excitedly, and some people burst into tears.

The county officials around Ye Qing also expressed their indescribable joy at the moment in various ways.

"His Majesty the Emperor Shengming!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!"

"It is said that the founding emperors are all Mingjun, and the founding emperor of my Ming Dynasty is the first emperor of the ages!"

"We have such a holy emperor, it's really God's eyes opened!"

“.”

All of a sudden, such a sound was heard for a long time, and it resounded throughout the street!

At the same time, the eunuch also came to Ye Qing with a smile and reminded: "Lord Ye, what Your Majesty wants is not for you to be flattered. ”

"Your Majesty wants me to tell you that what he wants is for you to do what you say, to 'create more brilliance, become bigger and stronger' within a greater range of power!"

"Lord Ye, take the order!"

In the next moment, everyone began to persuade Ye Qing to accept the order.

Ye Qing looked at the formation in front of him, it could be said that if he didn't accept the order, he was wrong.

Oh, yes!

His Majesty the Emperor is so sincere, it can be said that he is moving the heavens and the earth, if he Ye Qing does not accept the order again, he will be unreasonable.

Ye Qing really didn't want to accept the order, but there was really no reason not to accept the order.

Agreeing to these two conditions, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to agree, and he Ye Qing will accept the order to go to the post with peace of mind, this is the original words he said.

There is no way, he can only take the order and not say it, and he can't show the slightest displeasure.

Because in the eyes of these officials, his previous act of resisting the decree was to raise his own value, and he also carried out a 'clear price'.

Now that Boss Zhu has accepted the price he proposed, what reason does he have not to accept with a smile?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing could only bow slightly with a smile in front of everyone's eyes, and accept the holy decree with both hands.

"Chen Yeqing takes the order, thank Your Majesty Longen!"

"Lord Wu, please go in and have tea, hold a feast tonight, wash the dust for the Qincha, and prepare a local product for one person."

As soon as Ye Qing's voice fell, under the plaque of the county government of Yanmen County, from the county officials to the people as far as the eye could see, and then to the eunuchs and pro-army guards, their faces were full of joy.

The only ones who didn't have a happy look on their faces were the two stone lions that couldn't smile!

Wu Yong beckoned the eunuch and twenty pro-army escorts to enter the county office, only Ye Qing just stood at the door of the county office, smiling while looking in the direction of Ying Tianfu.

Ye Qing's heart at the moment, not to mention scolding Zhu Yuanzhang from head to toe, but it was not too much.

"Emperor Hongwu?"

"I'll go to your uncle's Hongwu Emperor, just with your weak and benevolent behavior, are you worthy of the word 'Hongwu'?"

"Big brother, the emperor is not like this, that is, I have no intention of rebelling, if I change people, I will definitely take your country, slaughter your son, and ask for your wife and daughter!"

“.”

After Ye Qing secretly scolded Zhu Yuanzhang a few words, his gaze became deep again.

"No,"

"If he is really weak and benevolent, how can he start a bowl and end up with a country?"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing opened this handwritten decree of Zhu Yuanzhang again and read it word by word.

He had emotions in his heart before, so he hadn't heard much of it.

Now he has the mentality of summarizing his mistakes, and he can see at once what the problem is.

"I want to use these two conditions to challenge the imperial power in order to achieve the effect of provoking you, but you see the favorable side of these two conditions?"

"Between the lines, it's not the conditions I mentioned, but the national policy you came up with?"

"Okay, you shameless Zhu Yuanzhang, you copied my idea, and asked the eunuch to give me back the words 'create brilliance, become bigger and stronger'?"

“.”

Thinking of this, Ye Qing suddenly had a feeling of heavy loss.

Because if it weren't for tonight, the people of the entire Yanmen County would know that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave Ye Qing a special additional grace from Zhu Yuanzhang to Ye Qing.

At this point, he really can't go to work.

There is no choice but to pack up and prepare to pack up and leave, go to a new place and continue to work hard to get home.

Just when Ye Qing regained his fighting spirit, the eunuch ran out again.

Seeing that Ye Qing was still there looking at Ying Tianfu, the eunuch thought that he was secretly grateful to His Majesty the Emperor in his heart.

He looked at Ye Qing and smiled lightly: "I said why can't I find anyone?" ”

"Lord Ye, you have done a good job in Ningbo, which is the greatest gratitude to Your Majesty."

"I almost forgot, Your Majesty also asked me to bring you a message, after the arrival of the new magistrate, you will hurry to Ningbo to take office."

"Your term of office is from the spring of the eighth year of Hongwu to the spring of the eleventh year of Hongwu!"

After Ye Qing heard this, he just said casually: "This official knows." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing went into the mansion with his head held high, not bothering to look at the eunuch again.

At the same time, he also secretly said in his heart: "Boss Zhu, you are really a good hand at squeezing laborers!" ”

"Lao Tzu Hongwu arrived in the middle and late seventh year, but you have to work until the spring of the eleventh year of Hongwu, do you still want to prostitute Lao Tzu for half a year?"

"Okay!"

"Then let's see if I can let you kill me in the past four years?"

"If you really have the ability, let Lao Tzu live until the end of his term"

Even if these cruel words were all in his heart, Ye Qing immediately closed his mouth in his heart.

Judging from the experience of hundreds of years of life, the saying that good spirits do not work bad is really true.

Although he didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang had this ability, let alone that he was so incapable, it was better to avoid it a little.

Early the next morning,

The eunuch and twenty guards of the pro-army, not to mention that they were full of food and drink, and each person had a pound of 'local products'.

When they left with a spring breeze on their faces, they all said to Ye Qing, hoping that he would continue to ascend.

And they didn't know that their blessing was a poisonous arrow pierced into Ye Qing's heart.

After seeing them leave, Ye Qing immediately turned around and went straight to the huge backyard forbidden place.

"My lord, what are you going to do?" Wu Yong chased after him with a smile.

Ye Qing just said with a serious face: "I'm about to pack up my baggage and leave, aren't you busy with your going?" ”

"I want to be alone, I want to think about it alone, after I arrive in a new place, how to create brilliance, how to become bigger and stronger?"

Wu Yong looked at Ye Qing's back as he left alone, and nodded thoughtfully.

Oh, yes!

Such a big glory in Yanmen County is already here!

His Majesty the Emperor gave such a big official position and such a big privilege, didn't he just want them to create greater brilliance in a new place?

Starting from scratch is not the hardest, it is even more difficult to surpass yourself!

Thinking of this, Wu Yong just looked at the back in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Lord Ye, you must be able to, the magpies are all on your black gauze hat, this is a good sign for continuing to rise!" ”

At the same time as Ye Qing turned the corner, Wu Yong heard Ye Qing's voice a little impatiently: "Then what is a crow!" ”

Outside the backyard behind the mansion of the county yahou Ye Qing,

Shen Wan'er used the only key to open the door, while Ye Qing walked in alone.

This so-called backyard is actually Ye Qing's private warehouse, Ye Qing opened these rooms one by one, which were full of all kinds of rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of gold and silver coins of this era.

Of course, there are also Daming treasure banknotes packed in boxes!

Ye Qing looked at these wealths that added up to several boats, and only felt that they were no different from dung.

Because he can take away a set of souvenirs from each life, he can't take these things outside of his body at all.

He did all this just to create his character as a big corrupt official, just to become the person Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill the most.

As for what he did to Yanmen County, in his opinion, it was really a trivial effort!

But I never thought that he would be promoted?

Ye Qing walked straight to a room, there were no belongings in this room, only a few large iron boxes, or the kind with several locks.

Compared with those antique calligraphy and paintings that are priceless and can be taken away by reaching out, this large iron box with a protection level comparable to that of a safe in later generations is full of waste paper that is worthless to others.

But these waste papers, which are worthless to the little people, are the 'huge legacy' left by him Ye Qing to Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are excellent governance concepts in it, leading technologies from all walks of life, etc.

doesn't say anything so great, as long as he Zhu Yuanzhang reads all these things, he Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as half a modern person.

As long as it is strictly implemented in accordance with what is written here, the Ming Dynasty, which has only been in the country for 300 years, can at least be extended to 600 years.

In order to ensure that Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to watch and believe in these things, Ye Qing really took a lot of painstaking work.

As long as he opened any of the big iron boxes, he didn't need to look through the thread-bound books inside, he could be guaranteed that he Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Ye Qing was a time-traveler from the next generation!

For this, Ye Qing is completely sure!

It's a pity,

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not angry!

Ye Qing looked at these big iron boxes, and really wanted to burn them down.

But out of what little conscience he had, he still couldn't bear it, so he had to pack up all these 'inheritances' and so many treasures.

He said that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't fulfill him, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, don't want to get any good things from him Ye Qing.

He had to do what he said he would!

Half a month later, in the afternoon,

The eunuch first put twenty-one small burdens containing 'native products' in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and then began to report the details.

Maybe it was because he received local products and received courtesy, and when the eunuch reported it, he symbolically exaggerated a little.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ye not only gladly accepted the order, but also looked in the direction of Ying Tianfu and was grateful."

"Not only that, but he also promised to live up to the emperor's grace, promised to create more brilliance in office, and promised to build Ningbo Mansion even better than Yanmen County."

"Didn't you see with your own eyes, outside the gate of the county government, the whole street was filled with the words 'Your Majesty Shengming' and 'Long Live Your Majesty'!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to such an answer, and his heart was already happy.

But he only nodded with satisfaction on the surface, and then sent the eunuch to leave with these local products, even if it was he, the emperor, who rewarded them!

A moment later, he sent someone to call Queen Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Sister, you female Zhuge is so right, after we promise him, he is grateful!" ”

"Cook more tonight, and we'll definitely be able to eat three bowls of rice."

Queen Ma was happy to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and she was naturally happy.

Immediately afterwards, Queen Ma asked with a smile: "Chongba, since you have determined what kind of person he is, you should tell him who you are next time we meet!" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the smile on his face was gone, and he became serious again.

He just pondered for a moment and said, "I'll talk about it then." ”

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang replying like this, she also knew that he was still worried about something.

After all, the news he got was only the news from the eunuch, not his own witness.

They are all people who have endured hardship, and they know what the messenger will do when he receives the benefits.

The fact that he gladly accepted the order will certainly not be false, but whether he is grateful or not remains to be verified!

Besides, in their opinion, Ye Qing always has some inexplicable mystery!

is only in his twenties, why do you understand so many things, or are you proficient in everything?

Who did he teach?

As soon as she thought of this, Queen Ma thought of the scene where Ye Qing used the apprenticeship to worship Li Mu, Li Guang, Li Shimin, and Li Jing, as well as the scene where he said seriously that he was a teacher from them!

Just thinking about it, Queen Ma felt that it was both impossible and unreasonable, and even a little infiltrating!

Just when Queen Ma began to think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "By the way, sister, you go get a roast goose in the evening, we want to invite Xu Da to have a meal." ”

"Let's discuss together, who should be sent to Yanmen County to be the magistrate."

"This person has to be chosen carefully, not only to ensure that he will not be corrupted by the prosperity of Yanmen County, so as to become Hu Weiyong's person, but also to ensure that he will not completely become Ye Qing's person."

Queen Ma nodded, and then went to her small kitchen.

At dinner that night, in the hall of Wuying Palace, Xu Da, who was dressed in regular clothes, walked in.

Xu Da just sniffed it, his eyes lit up, and then he went straight to the dining room.

"Minister Xu Da, meet Your Majesty, meet Niangniang, and meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with an unhappy face: "Let's specially greet you to wear regular clothes, just to avoid the set in the court, we and your sister-in-law and your eldest nephew are wearing regular clothes, why are you kneeling?" ”

"Biao'er, why don't you help Uncle Xu up?"

Xu Da saw that the three of them were all in regular clothes, so he happily sat down.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Xu Da only had the two goose legs in his eyes, and he just smiled and said, "Aren't you just like this, do it!" ”

Xu Da responded, and was about to get started with a smile.

But when his hand was about to touch the goose's leg, he immediately retracted it, and his face was serious.

Xu Da said solemnly: "I don't know how many times Your Majesty has hosted a banquet and entertained you, but eating the roast goose made by the queen mother herself, it will only add up to four times in this life!" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang's family of three saw this scene, they all secretly smiled.

Xu Da recalled: "In the seventeenth year of Zheng, Chen Youliang invaded Yingtian, His Majesty's ministers and King Kaiping set up an ambush in Jiuhua Mountain, and when they saw them off, Your Majesty told their ministers, and they died in this battle!" ”

"This is the first time I have eaten the roast goose made by the queen's mother!"

"In the twenty-fifth year of Zheng, the minister led the troops to attack Zhang Shicheng, His Majesty told the ministers, if this battle is won, Jiangnan will be determined from now on!"

"This is the second time!"

"In the first year of Wu, His Majesty's ministers and King Kaiping led an army of 250,000 to the north to attack the capital, this is the third time!"

"In the fifth year of Hongwu, Your Majesty asked King Yan and the eldest daughter of the minister, Miaoyun, to marry, this is the fourth time!"

Speaking of this, Xu Da, who was already serious, frowned.

At the same time, he also secretly said in his heart: "This old brother won't have the idea of beating my family again, right?" ”

"This can't be done, my Miaojin is prepared for Brother Ye, not to mention one roast goose, ten roast geese are not sold!"

Thinking of this, Xu Da stood up, looked at the smiling family of three in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, this time, what is the difficult thing for the minister to do?" ”

In front of Xu Da, the three of them just smiled again, and they really laughed without scheming, it was really like a family.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Tiande, what kind of virtue are you?" ”

"It's like my brother invites your brother to dinner, and every time I ask you to be born and die, we're not that kind of person."

"Hurry up and sit down and say, boss, help your Uncle Tiande sit down, and then give you Uncle Tiande."

Xu Da immediately refused: "No, no, no, since they are all wearing regular clothes for a family banquet, then I will ask you to say it first, and I will sit again." ”

Seeing this scene, Queen Ma looked at Xu Da with a serious face: "Tiande, if you still want to eat the roast goose made by your sister-in-law, sit down quickly." ”

"Okay sister-in-law!"

In the next moment, Xu Da simply sat down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao personally poured a glass of wine for Xu Da, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally sandwiched a goose leg into Xu Da's bowl.

When Xu Da saw this scene, he also knew that he was cheated again today.

The queen cooks, the emperor picks the dishes, the prince pours wine, he can't refuse such an imperial favor!

But such a huge imperial grace must have to pay such a heavy price!

But even so, Xu Da still made up his mind, if he wanted to beat his family's idea of Miaojin, then everything should not be discussed!

Just when Xu Da was so worried, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You also know, let's see that Ye Qing's kid is a genius, so he broke the stereotypes and established the Ningbo Special Government, let him do it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to smile and said: "Also, we are afraid that after the next magistrate is sent to Yanmen County, not only will he not be able to keep the hard-won prosperity, but he will also be corrupted by the prosperity, so that he will become Hu Weiyong's people, so let Ye Qingyao lead Yanmen County, and he will still be in charge of major matters." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty Shengming!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in his heart, he also said with a serious face: "We don't want to hear these four words, we just want you to give us an idea." ”

"Although Ye Qing is allowed to lead it from afar, this is a south and a north after all, thousands of miles away!"

"You have to pick the right person to make sure you don't go wrong!"

When Xu Da heard this, he immediately understood the real purpose of inviting him to this meal.

It is true to ask him to recommend officials to replace Ye Qing and become the new magistrate of Yanmen County, but it is not false to let him carry the big black cauldron.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the recommendation of county officials is a matter for the Ministry of Officials and Zhongshu Province, which means that Hu Weiyong's Huaixi Xungui has a lot of room for maneuver.

Now that he is recommended by the prime minister, who is in military power, Hu Weiyong's party has no room for maneuver at all.

Because of this, they want to hold a grudge, and they will only hold a grudge against Xu Da, who is the candidate they recommend.

But who has the courage to hold a grudge against a prime minister who is in military power?

Thinking of this, Xu Da smiled and gnawed on the roasted goose legs: "Fragrant, so fragrant!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Xu Da agreed to this matter with practical actions, and nodded with satisfaction again, it had to be his brother Xu who was reliable.

After Xu Da finished gnawing on the goose legs, he said rigorously: "There is really such a candidate, Hongwu won the first place in the three-year scientific examination, Yang Bocheng!" ”

"This person is from Jian'an County, Jianning Prefecture, Fujian, and it stands to reason that this person can't run away from Beijing as an official, but in the same year, his father was bedridden due to illness, so this person asked to stay in Jian'an County to take up a job, so that he could fulfill his filial piety at home."

"But I was afraid that he would be the chief official in his hometown, so I only let him make a nine-grade master book."

"This person has been an official for three years, honest and honest, and has an excellent reputation in the local area."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he only felt that this person who was filial and honest was exactly the kind he was looking for, Hu Weiyong couldn't pull it, and Ye Qing couldn't pull it over.

"Okay, that's him!"

"It's really impermanent, it's all the same year of the scientific examination, but the first place in the positive number is going to take over the first place from the bottom?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile helplessly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Bo, who was transferred to Jian'an County, became the magistrate of Yanmen County, and appeared in Zhongshu Province again.

Hu Weiyong looked at the words 'recommended by Xu Da, the Duke of Wei', and the expression on his face could be expressed in the sentence 'Dumb eats Coptis chinensis, and there is no bitterness to say'.

Nearly two months later, in the seventh month of Hongwu, the early autumn season of the lunar calendar.

Yang Bocheng, who is also a young man, came to Yanmen County with his wife.

In fact, the people who came to Yanmen County during this time period also had two groups of people sent by Zhu Yuanzhang.

A group of people on the bright side are the officials of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, and their purpose here is very simple, that is, to be ordered to ask for the technology of the Yanmen Arsenal.

And the group of people in the shadows are Jiang Zhen and four Jinyi guards who have never been to Yanmen County.

Outside the gate of the county government, Jiang Zhen and others, dressed in civilian clothes, were drinking tea in a tea shop.

They came here for one purpose, that is, to see whether he Ye Qing was leaving with a breeze on his sleeves or with his belongings.

If he is leaving with belongings, he must clearly know how much he has brought with him.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this information is very important to him, and he can further understand Ye Qing based on this information.

A moment later,

Just when Yang Bocheng was about to enter the county government with his wife, the officials of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court were collectively blasted out!

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
