Chapter 495 The tacit understanding between monarch and ministers
Zhu Yuanzhang was not the kind of emperor who grew up in the palace and was raised in the hands of women.
How can a person who can sweep away the heroes, even launch an army in the Northern Expedition, and restore the Han Dynasty that has been ruined for a hundred years, be as broad-minded and astute as ordinary people?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had faded. Although he looked at Ye Xuan coldly, he was more thinking about Ye Xuan's intentions in his heart.
Although he suddenly crashed Ye Xuan's party, he still felt that there might be something behind it, a deeper meaning that he had not seen through.
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang had no clue, while Ye Xuan was just silent.
Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Ye Xuan seemed to feel that the heat had arrived.
He cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. Thanks to your Majesty's insight and knowledge of talents, I was able to promote Anchong to the position of "Seven Two Three". I will be ashamed of myself and will not give up even if I die!"
If he said these words normally, Zhu Yuanzhang would be really moved.
But the problem is, here and now, in this situation, it seems that there is only a strong sense of ridicule, even sarcasm, in these words.
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, which had subsided, couldn't help but flare up again.
He pointed at Ye Xuan and said angrily: "Let me ask you, if you lose, what should you give to others?"
This is a key point. After all, if Ye Xuan promised a huge bargaining chip, it would even be beyond Ye Xuan's ability to bear. But in the end, wouldn't the responsibility rest with the court?
What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that Ye Xuan was actually waiting for him to ask this question.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and then he spoke respectfully.
"Your Majesty is aware that I only promised that if I lose, I will provide these business groups with some goods that cannot be bought outside.
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed at first.
After all, what Ye Xuan holds is the technology of the Divine Creation Bureau. If he really gives out something extraordinary, wouldn't it be a threat to the Ming Dynasty?
But when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to reprimand, he suddenly saw something wrong with Ye Xuan's expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang reacted very quickly, restrained his anger in an instant, and asked Ye Xuan.
"What exactly do you mean?"
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Ye Xuan took out a receipt from his arms and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What's this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang blurted out the question, but in an instant, he realized the problem.
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to answer, he had already taken the document and his eyes flew over it.
After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang even couldn't close his mouth slightly.
He couldn't believe that Ye Xuan was so bold and dug a big hole in front of so many people.
In the receipt, there was actually a medicine and a health product, and they had one thing in common, which was that they both used Wu Shi Powder as raw materials.
One of them was even mixed with a strange plant that Ye Xuan bought from overseas at a huge price.
This plant is extremely beautiful, but it also has similar functions to Wu Shi Powder, and it becomes even more hidden and dangerous after treatment.
Ye Xuan once said personally that this thing is like the Man Dara in hell. It looks beautiful, but it is highly poisonous, and it also means destruction and disaster.
Therefore, even in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing was strictly forbidden to be exported and cultivated among the people.
However, although this thing is dangerous, it is also very effective in healing wounds, relieving pain, etc. Therefore, it is indispensable for the Ming army to make refined medicines.
But now, Ye Xuan actually sells medicines containing this kind of thing as bargaining chips to caravans from other countries.
After a moment of sluggishness, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that this might be another vicious trick of Ye Xuan.
He looked at Ye Xuan, who indeed had a cunning look on his face.
Although the two have many pasts and differences, they also have a tacit understanding.
In just an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang understood why Ye Xuan would irritate himself whenever he saw him.
He snorted coldly and tore the documents in his hand to pieces.
"Ye Xuan, as an official, don't you plan to become an official? How dare you sell such a thing?"
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's acting skills are really excellent. He hid everyone in just an instant. Even Mao Xiang looked panicked and looked curiously at the debris on the ground.
At this moment, he was thinking quickly in his mind whether he should say something and take this opportunity to make friends with Ye Xuan.
But the little flag officer who came with him was trembling with fear, and he couldn't even think.
Those who were called businessmen, but were actually spies and messengers, all looked shocked and panicked at this moment.
Many people are still thinking about how they will get those good things once today's incident comes to nothing...
In fact, many people have gone through investigations before issuing chips. There are many things on them, which are not only in short supply, but also what some people want by name. If it is directly invalidated due to the emperor's wrath, let them Without the slightest chance [then the loss will be lost.
For a time, everyone was paying various attentions, but some people began to consider whether there was something in this document that was extremely precious to the Ming Dynasty.
In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was a vast land with abundant resources. Unless it was extremely important, it would never be possible for the emperor to be so excited.
It is precisely because of this that they feel that they must find a way to stabilize Zhu Yuanzhang and allow Ye Xuan to continue trading with them.
Amidst everyone's doubts and worries, Ye Xuan finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, I will not lose this bet. Moreover, your will has given me full power before. Therefore, I have the right to do whatever I want. Is it possible that you want to regret it?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, although he knew he was acting, he still felt a little awkward.
He snorted and said to Ye Xuan: "No matter how you say this, it can't be like this! If they want to do business, they can only talk to the Ming government. What's going on with you?"
As he spoke, he looked at the businessmen and said angrily: "You dare to discuss this deal with Ye Xuan, Ming Dynasty will never tolerate you in the future. You can weigh the pros and cons for yourself!"
1.9 Before anyone could react, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and walked away. He only walked halfway, but suddenly stopped.
Everyone thought that this matter was completely lost. Many people felt despair and even began to think about how to find other channels, but the result was [Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly added.
"But if you really want to, you can also inform the Ministry of Rites. People from the Shipping Department will deal with these in the future! However, there is no limit to the amount. It is impossible to act as recklessly as Ye Xuan!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang continued while taking steps.
"What happened today is too ridiculous. Let's give it up! As for singing and dancing, there is no need to perform them!"
Everyone was not fools. After hearing this, no one dared to go back on his word and rushed to make a promise to Zhu Yuanzhang.
