Chapter 441 Zhu Yuanzhang’S Will
Chapter 441 Zhu Yuanzhang’s will
Just a moment ago, Zhu Biao was still secretly guessing who Ying Tianfu Yin would talk to.
He himself is also thinking about who is suitable for this position.
After all, according to the Song Dynasty system, this position is usually taken over by the prince or the appointed crown prince to prepare for his future succession.
The Ming Dynasty was not Zhao Song, and this point was relaxed a lot, so other officials took up this position.
But this does not mean that this official position is not important and that anyone can be assigned to do it.
But when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao felt a little worried.
First, Ye Xuan is too lazy to do such administrative tasks.
Secondly, this position will deal with many aspects, ranging from petty family affairs to life and death. You have to be involved. If you are not careful, you will offend others.
With Ye Xuan's character, I am afraid that he will offend a group of people in less than a year. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang will abandon his troops to save his chariot and demote Ye Xuan.
No matter which direction he looked at it, Zhu Biao felt that it would not be a good thing if Ye Xuan took this position.
But he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiries often meant that he had already made up his mind, rather than genuine inquiries.
He sighed secretly and suddenly thought of another thing in his mind.
He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you want to hear the meaning of the Ming Prince, or do you want to hear the attitude of the minister Zhu Biao?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, turned back to look at Zhu Biao, and after a while, said: "Then tell us everything!"
Zhu Biao responded and then replied: "Your Majesty, I believe in Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan is indeed talented and should be used. However, my father and son feel that in terms of Ye Xuan's character, he will not be able to take this position." It's a misfortune, not a blessing. And to say the least, he may not agree to your appointment. When the time comes, it will not be good for you or him! Instead, it may hurt the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."
Zhu Biao's words undoubtedly gave Zhu Yuanzhang a wake-up call. After all, Ye Xuan's character is called free and easy at best, but informal and unscrupulous at worst.
If it were anyone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would indeed not think that the other party dared to resist the order, but Ye Xuan, this was not necessarily the case.
But thinking of the current situation, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to issue an order to test Ye Xuan's attitude.
Even if this will is really rejected by Ye Xuan, in the future, if Ye Xuan does meritorious service but does not reward him with actual duties, the other party will have nothing to say, and the ministers will not think that he is mean and unkind.
So, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and told Zhu Biao: "Okay, you prepare some gifts later and go to Ye Xuan's house for a visit. Of course we understand what you say, but there are some things we have to do."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and walked out of the house without waiting for Zhu Biao to react.
When Zhu Biao came to his senses and tried to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang had already disappeared without a trace.
After a while, Ye Mansion.
Ye Xuan had just defeated Shen Rong in one round and was about to start over again when the housekeeper's anxious voice came from outside the house.
"Master, someone from the palace has come to deliver the order, please come out quickly!"
Ye Xuan frowned slightly when he heard the decree from the palace.
According to his information, there has not been much fluctuation in the court recently.
Even though a number of officials were killed through the Hu Weiyong case, most of these people had really made mistakes and were attributed to Hu Weiyong's party.
And behind this, there is also the shadow of a struggle for power, which is clearly Zhu Yuanzhang's method of checks and balances.
He didn't think that if Zhu Yuanzhang came to him at this moment, he would do something to him. After all, if that was the case, he should get the news first.
But if there was trouble somewhere, he had to help solve it himself. With Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, he would not directly use the imperial edict.
Just when Ye Xuan was suspicious, Shen Rong had already spoken.
"Did the person who delivered the decree reveal what it was about?"
The butler said with a bitter face: "The person who came here only said to congratulate the master, and seemed to have given the master some kind of reward, but did not say what the matter was. The younger one also tried to use the money, but the other party refused to say too much. , it seems like it’s not a big deal.”
The steward's words undoubtedly made Ye Xuan more suspicious, but when he heard that it was a reward, he didn't ask any more questions, but stood up and came out with the steward.
After leaving the back house, the incense table and other items for receiving the order were already prepared.
When the envoy saw Ye Xuan, he immediately came over with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to Mr. Ye!"
Ye Xuan laughed and replied, then winked at the housekeeper, indicating that he would give him some favors.
The butler understood and handed the money over without leaving any trace.
Ye Xuan said: "Don't rush the ship yet. Father-in-law, please tell me a little bit about His Majesty's intentions so that I can be prepared."
The messenger was stunned. This was not the first time he had delivered the decree. Before the decree was carried out, it was true that nothing took effect. Therefore, prisoners often secretly used some money to delay the delivery of the decree and give the children of the clan a chance to escape.
But he was here to receive a reward, but Ye Xuan had this attitude, which was really incredible.
But no one would have trouble with Yinzi, so after thinking for a moment, the messenger explained the situation.
But what he didn't expect was that Ye Xuan's face turned pale just after he finished speaking.
He cupped his hands towards the envoy, and then said seriously: "My father-in-law, there is no need to read this decree. Please go back and report it to Your Majesty. He said that I am not in good health and I really cannot accept the decree."
Zhu Yuanzhang was famous for speaking his mind. Who in the world would dare to disobey his will?
The messenger never imagined that he would meet one one day.
He looked at Ye Xuan, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and then whispered a reminder.
"Sir, please don't joke, this is a matter of life and death!"
Ye Xuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, just take this decree back and your Majesty will not blame you!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the envoy looked strange. He wanted to say more, but Ye Xuan had already turned around and left.
Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Shen Rong in the corner hurriedly came out to greet him. After giving some instructions to the housekeeper, he went back to persuade Ye Xuan.
When the two arrived at the back house, Shen Rong hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty's decree was rejected without even being allowed to be read. His Majesty knows that even if he is going to be angry, you are not afraid -
Before Shen Rong finished speaking, Ye Xuan had already said: "Don't worry, your Majesty won't do anything to us, otherwise I won't do the same."
What he said was true. After all, he and Zhu Yuanzhang were different from others.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty relied on his technology and knowledge. Unless they rebelled within ten or twenty years, nothing would happen to them.
As for the day when Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to move himself, he would have to think carefully about it. After all, if he retreats on his own, he can retreat overseas with the help of a net; if he advances, he can make weapons and conquer cities and territories.
There is no need to worry about Zhu Yuanzhang's threat.
