As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard the word Ye Qing, he felt a headache.

He really couldn't understand what new achievements he could make after Ye Qing had only been in the new place for a few days.

As for this kind of great merit that dares to be cheeky and take the initiative to ask for credit, don't even think about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the cover with the identity of the official written on it, as well as the word 'please merit', and he found that the seal was intact, and Hu Weiyong didn't look at it at all.

"Why don't you look at it first?"

Hu Weiyong just kept his hands up, and didn't look up at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at the moment.

But even if he doesn't look at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he knows what kind of eyes he Zhu Yuanzhang is.

Hu Weiyong actually wanted to see Ye Qing's performance very much, everything related to Ye Qing, he was very interested, but he also knew that Ye Qing was the man that Zhu Yuanzhang focused on.

Therefore, he couldn't show too much attention to Ye Qing on the bright side!

Although he knew very well, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that all of them were very concerned about Ye Qing, and even wished that he Ye Qing would die as soon as possible.

Yes, in Hu Weiyong's opinion, this letter is likely to allow Zhu Yuanzhang to slaughter Ye Qing with his own hands.

He has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time that he has brought a coffin to ask for credit.

When Hu Weiyong saw the two coffins, he subconsciously tore open the envelope, and eighty percent of the coffin-related work was sparse.

But he finally held back!

Hu Weiyong just said respectfully: "Because along with this letter of invitation, there are still two coffins." ”

"The minister thinks that things are not so simple, so he will report to His Majesty as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this: "Coffin? ”

At the same time, he took the invitation from Hu Weiyong's hands, and subconsciously opened it to see.

But he still held back as always, and then smiled and found a reason to let Hu Weiyong go.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the door of the imperial study, looking at Hu Weiyong's distant back, and also fell into deep thought.

He only felt that his attitude towards Ye Qing was very contradictory, sometimes he really wanted to chop Ye Qing up on the spot, but in front of Hu Weiyong and others, he would protect Ye Qing in his own way.

That is to not let them know his attitude towards Ye Qing, and not to give them any chance to kill him Ye Qing with the emperor's sword.

But on second thought, he also felt that there was nothing strange about it.

Originally!

Only the emperor can kill the emperor's ministers, this is what an emperor should be!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the well-sealed wax seal, and then thought of pulling the coffin to ask for credit, and immediately had a bad premonition.

"The surname Ye,"

"There must be a limit to shamelessness!"

"If you are so shameless that you think that the person who killed our old Zhu family can also be cheeky and ask for great credit, we can't bear it!"

“.”

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately walked back to the dragon chair and sat down, and opened the cover at once.

Under the golden roof of the golden dragon coiled, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned directly before he finished reading this concise and concise recital.

After he habitually pinched the piece into a lump, he habitually threw it out.

And the eunuchs who accompanied him also habitually knelt on the ground.

But just when he was about to get out of his hands, he stopped instantly!

"Let's go down."

After bowing to the eunuch who was accompanying him, he gently exited the imperial study and gently closed the door from the outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang just sighed, then held back his anger and opened the way again, in his opinion, it was extremely shameless to ask for merit.

Transcript: "Your Majesty the Emperor:"

"Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, respectfully obeyed the holy decree and punished His Majesty's imperial nephew in accordance with the law, as well as the imperial brother who had a great kindness to His Majesty."

"The minister thinks that the minister's actions are not only innocent, but also have great credit!"

"The minister's actions are tantamount to highlighting Your Majesty's selflessness, and the people of Ningbo Mansion all praise Your Majesty's iron-faced selflessness and praise Your Majesty's wisdom!"

"The ministers help Your Majesty win the hearts of the people, and Your Majesty should reward the ministers!"

"The minister also knows the truth of extrajudicial favors, so he returned the bodies of Zhu Liujiu's father and son, so that His Majesty could arrange for them to be buried in their hometown."

"In order to help His Majesty repay Zhu Liujiu for giving land to bury his family, the minister sentenced Zhu Liujiu to be strangled and kept his whole body."

"Not only that, but the minister also used strips of cloth to wrap the corpse and other methods, and made a series of embalming treatments for their father and son, so that the corpse could be transported over long distances without decay."

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate these anti-embalming methods, this will cost the minister a lot of money."

"This is also one of the reasons why the minister thinks that his merit is great and he deserves to be rewarded and rewarded."

"The minister doesn't want His Majesty to publicly reward him in the court, and he doesn't want His Majesty to have thousands of money, as long as His Majesty rewards Shen Wansan's real estate 'Shen Yuan' in Ningbo, that is, the 'Zhu Mansion' given to Zhu Liujiu's father and son, to Shen Wan'er, the minister's housekeeper."

"At the same time, please write the door plaque 'Shen Yuan' by your own hand, and seal it!"

“.”

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he really wanted to take this song as Ye Qing himself, and tear it into eight pieces on the spot.

But he finally suppressed the anger in his heart!

Because he knew that he really had to reward Ye Qing according to Ye Qing's request!

It stands to reason that Ye Qing's sentencing of Zhu Liujiu to death did not go as he wanted, even if he did not punish the crime, it would not be meritorious!

But he had already said in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that he Ye Qing was doing things according to his instructions, and praised him for doing this beautifully!

In fact, Ye Qing had no intention of using this letter to find death when he wrote this note.

In Ye Qing's view, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the holy decree to let him act according to the law in order to use the lives of Zhu Liujiu's father and son to achieve his reputation of iron-blooded anti-corruption.

He Ye Qing helped him Zhu Yuanzhang so much, even if he was cheeky and wanted to reward him, as long as it was not too excessive, he would definitely give it.

Whether he wants to give it in his heart or not, he must give it.

If you don't give it, you will slap yourself in the face, and if you blame him for this, you will slap him in the face.

Therefore, he must be able to use this matter to fulfill his promise to Shen Wan'er, that is, to let Zhu Yuanzhang order the plaque of Zhufu to be taken off and the plaque of Shen Yuan's door to be hung.

Not only that, a piece of inscription by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, as well as a door plaque stamped by the money, can ensure that Shen Yuan and Daming have the same life.

As long as the Emperor of the Zhu family sits on the dragon chair, as long as Shen Wan'er's descendants are not excessive, no one dares to attack Shen Yuan's idea!

This is also the only thing Ye Qing can do for Shen Wan'er!

Just think of Shen Wan'er as her housekeeper until she is given the reward for death!

And at this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang just half-lay on the dragon chair and said "We have never seen such a brazen person", and he was stunned and didn't say anything.

Who told him to take advantage of this?

Since he used a holy decree to rob Ye Qing of his credit, he had to maintain the image of 'he also thought Zhu Liujiu died well'!

How to maintain this image?

As long as he does what Ye Qing said, rewards Shen Yuan to his Ye Qing's housekeeper Shen Wan'er, and reinstates Shen Yuan's name, he can maintain it very well!

"How could the butler who was rewarded to him be renamed 'Shen Yuan'?"

"Shen Wan'er, send Yanmen, she is Shen Wansan's daughter?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up at first, but then he was completely relieved.

How Shen Wansan died, he couldn't be clearer.

If you have to say that Shen Wansan is guilty, it is a crime that is rich and rivals the country!

Not bad

He did have the intention of killing Shen Wansan at the beginning, but after Queen Ma's persuasion, he finally decided to let Shen Wansan live.

He just motioned to the people below to confiscate Shen Wansan's family property and let his family go into exile.

But I don't know why, Shen Wansan ended up having his family property confiscated, all men were executed, and female dependents were married.

But since there was no written will on this matter, it was not good for him to question the people below him too much.

Besides, even if it was just confiscating Shen Wansan's family property, it was not something worth hype!

Maybe it's out of a little guilt for Shen Wansan,

Maybe it's because Shen Wan'er looks a little similar to the fourth lady of Rich Liu's family in his memory,

After Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, he willingly asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then wrote the word 'Shen Yuan' in his own handwriting.

Immediately afterwards, he put the money and stamped it again, and said briskly: "Spread the decree to reward Ningbo Zhufu, no, to Shen Wan'er, the housekeeper of Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, and change the name to 'Shen Yuan'." ”

"I, personally give the plaque!"

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had completely regained his calm, issued another order to send Zhu Huan's father and son back to his hometown for burial.

Immediately afterwards, he took away the lampshade and burned the letter himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the music that was gradually burning out on the ground, and his eyes were extremely deep.

"Thank you for repaying me!"

"Lord Ye, Ningbo is not far from Yingtian, we have a chance to meet!"

"Under my nose, you don't have a chance to be the Emperor of the Earth, I can kill you at any time!"

"For more than three years, you'd better be honest!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the word 'Ye Qing', which had only burned out at the end, and gritted his teeth and called himself 'I' in his heart.

After a while, he called Jiang Zhen again and said, "Send someone to Ningbo Mansion to keep an eye on us, if he Ye Qing has any abnormal behavior, he will report it immediately." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't arrange for Mao Xiang to do this, he wasn't worried that Mao Xiang would favor Ye Qing, but Mao Xiang was already very familiar with Ye Qing, and it was inconvenient to do these things in secret.

Time flies, time flies.

Half a month later, Jiang Zhen came to the imperial study, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's imperial plaque has been listed, and this matter has caused a sensation in half of Ningbo City." ”

"The people all say that Your Majesty is this time,"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Jiang Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, and immediately frowned and asked, "If you have something to say, let's forgive you for your innocence." ”

"The people all said that Your Majesty's eyes finally lit up this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew the implication of this, that is, he had given the land to Zhu Liujiu before, but he was purely blind.

It's no wonder that the people of Ningbo, judging from the actions of Zhu Liujiu's father and son, he is indeed blind.

Zhu Yuanzhang just said seriously: "What about him Ye Qing?" ”

Jiang Xuan continued to report: "Shen Wan'er wants to hang a larger door plaque 'Ye Mansion' on top of Shen Yuan's door plaque, and hopes that Lord Ye will also live there." ”

"But Lord Ye refused, insisting on staying in the back of the government!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just smiled lightly and nodded.

Just because his Ye Qing's backbone is not soft, it is worthy of his Zhu Yuanzhang's small praise.

Jiang Xuan continued: "On the same day that the plaque was hung in Shen Yuan, Lord Ye issued a notice to recruit craftsmen and expand the mansion. ”

"Except for a few specialized craftsmen, he basically wants poor people."

"Lord Ye wants a lot of manpower, it seems that not only the scale is large, but also the construction period is very tight, and the person who returned said that he had already started work when he left."

If it was the first time he met Ye Qing, he would definitely be furious.

But now not only will he not be angry because of this, but he also thinks that this is the way it should be!

If he does this, it proves that he is going to start to display his world-governing talent again on the one-third of an acre of land in Ningbo!

Regardless of anything else, the mere fact that he wanted the poor to work is somewhat similar to what he did in Yanmen County to put the fallen soldiers and poor children on the job.

I have to say that although Zhu Yuanzhang does not have the words 'work for relief' in his mind, he has already understood the essence of these four words.

Half a month later, Jiang Zhen came to report again: "Your Majesty, after Lord Ye promoted some new officials to fill the position, he has been sending money to subordinate officials these days. ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became interested.

After living for most of his life, he has only heard of his subordinates spending money to tie up with his boss, but he has never heard of his boss spending money on his subordinates.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at the direction of Ningbo Mansion, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "This is fresh, tell me about it in detail." ”

Jiang Chengyu reported: "Including the government officials and the county officials under his jurisdiction, he sent money to every official of the rank, not only that, but also to their parents, wives and children, cloth, clothing, food, and so on. ”

"As for the officials who have no grade, although they are not as much as the officials with grades, some of them have been sent."

"After those officials got the money and things, they were all very grateful to Lord Ye!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't get too angry.

In his opinion, this is also Ye Qing's old trick of uniting subordinate officials in Yanmen County, and it can be regarded as a prelude to the beginning of the development of Ningbo.

But he always felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that uniting his subordinates was a bit too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make any remarks, but said seriously: "Don't report it every half a month, come and report it to us once every seven days." ”

Jiang Xuan knew that this Lord Ye was about to touch the bottom line that His Majesty the Emperor had tailored for him again.

But as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was deeply favored by the emperor, he would never do anything to conceal it or not report it no matter what.

He only hopes that this Lord Ye can be a little more restrained!

Seven days later, in the afternoon, Jiang Zhen came to the imperial study again.

Only this time, when he stepped on the threshold of the imperial study, he suddenly felt a lot heavier.

Because in his opinion, Lord Ye's actions this time will definitely provoke His Majesty the Emperor to erupt in thunderous anger!

Jiang Xuanyu reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Ye sent people to Yanmen County three days ago to transfer the technical backbone of Yanmen Industrial Park to Ningbo. ”

"At the same time, he also announced to the whole government in the name of 'Ningbo Special Government', saying what 'attract investment to create a better Ningbo'."

"This matter made a big fuss, in addition to announcing the whole government, he also sent people to send invitations to the big businessmen and tycoons he had cooperated with before."

"Not only that, but he also sent people to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou to hype up the matter of attracting investment."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled lightly and nodded: "It's finally time to start developing Ningbo." ”

"However, the chief officials of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou generations don't want their rich businessmen to be recruited by Ye Qing."

"Convey the message that they are not allowed to interfere in the propaganda activities of the 'Ningbo Special Executive Government.'"

Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to pass on the decree, Lord Ye has already sent someone to warn them in the name of the 'Ningbo Special Executive Government' before arranging this matter." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately frowned.

is still the same sentence, he Zhu Yuanzhang can support and give, but he must not snatch anything from him Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Ye Qing's barbaric behavior is tantamount to snatching power from him.

But he couldn't blame Ye Qing, it was the 'Ningbo Special Government' signboard that he sent to the door himself, and he deserved to be taken by him Ye Qing to fake the tiger.

Zhu Yuanzhang just sighed and said, "That's it, it can be regarded as him working hard for the development of the place." ”

"Anything else?"

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he immediately frowned.

Because what he wants to report next is what he thinks will definitely make His Majesty the Emperor explode into a thunderous rage!.

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