Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to explode in anger, Ye Qing continued to lecture him without a care.
He was such a person. The feelings of others were not important.
His happiness was the most important!
As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang's brainless fan was still incurable after venting, it was not important.
At most, he would just chase them away if they didn't cooperate.
Although it was a pity, he would not let himself be so unhappy for this big tree.
Although longevity was important, they had to live happily.
He was a person who wanted to have both fish and bear's paw!
After Ye Qing drank a cup of grape wine, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was fuming, and asked directly,"Let me ask you!"
"How many upright officials and corrupt officials have there been in China since ancient times?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
This question stumped him!
He would never show mercy when killing corrupt officials. Even if the other party had meritorious deeds in founding the country and had an iron ticket to avoid death, he would still try his best to kill them.
How could he count?
Ye Qing continued," The corrupt officials in the world are like a surging river that flows endlessly. They are also like wild grass that can't be burned by wildfire and will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”
"As His Majesty's brainless fan, you should know how His Majesty kills corrupt officials.”
It had to be said that this question once again made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into deep thought.
The phrase 'wild fire can't burn, spring wind blows and it grows again' was well used!
He also realized that his strict and cruel government could not curb the power of these corrupt officials.
However, it had to be said that compared to other corrupt officials, Ye Qing, who was likely to trample on the second emperor Zhu Yunwen in the future, was much more pleasing to the eye.
At the very least, what he did for the common people was real!
This was evident from Empress Ma and Zhu Biao's attitude.
If it were any other corrupt officials, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao would not have cared so much. Only Ye Qing had the ability to poison the two of them!
At this moment,
Ye Qing continued," Throughout the past dynasties, which emperor didn't rely on corrupt officials to do things? It's also very convenient to use?"
Ye Qing patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and said casually,""It's a pity that our emperor doesn't even understand this principle. The path is getting narrower and narrower!”
Ye Qing was definitely not spouting nonsense.
This was indeed the case in history.
He used this excuse to make his old brothers who had followed him to conquer the world laugh.
As a result, Zhu Yunwen had no generals to use and finally lost to Zhu Di.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen also had a problem. Xu Da's son Xu Huizu did not use it, but Li Jinglong. It would be strange if he did not lose.
And at this moment…
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look happy, he agreed with this point of view in his heart.
That's right!
Since ancient times, nine out of ten emperors put corrupt officials in an important position.
There was no other reason.
When corrupt officials sought wealth, they would have a lot of evidence in the hands of the emperor. They had to be obedient and do things seriously.
Honest officials were different. They would do their best according to the terms.
However, once they discovered that something was wrong with the Emperor, they would not care about anything else and immediately start fighting!
The key was that the honest officials were still using the banner of 'honest advice that was unpleasant to the ear'. No matter how angry the Emperor was, he would not dare to make a move on them.
Once they did, it would be like chilling the hearts of all the officials and all the officials.
Then, the emperor became a punching bag.
In the long run, they would naturally feel that it was much easier for corrupt officials to use them.
Once they were disobedient, they would immediately throw out their trump cards and deal with them!
Just like that, Ye Qing's words were like a heavy hammer, striking heavily on Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
At the same time, it struck the hearts of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.
It could be said that it had almost shattered their worldview.
It made sense!
However, he felt that something was wrong.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he could not change his mind.
In his opinion, it was better to kill them directly than to pick talents among corrupt officials.
However, at this moment,
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, Ye Qing nodded in relief.
If he was in deep thought, it meant that he could still be saved. His mind had not been completely corrupted by his idol, Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I can see that you hate corrupt officials as much as His Majesty does.”
"But I have to tell you that corrupt officials are not formed overnight.”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little stubborn, Ye Qing decided to use history as the yardstick.
He gave an example." In history, there were many people who obtained official titles. They all had great revenge and wanted to become good officials for the country and the people.”
"But once they enter the officialdom, they know that it's a super big dye vat.”
At this point, Ye Qing immediately asked,""Why do you think they are greedy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Of course, Ye Qing did not expect him to give a good answer.
If he could give a good answer, he would not be so stubborn.
"Most of them can't afford to eat because the salary of the imperial court is too low," Ye Qing continued.”
"You can't even afford to eat. What's greed?”
"Isn't the current emperor rebelling because he can't afford to eat?”
Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
However, his example was indeed very convincing!
Following that, Ye Qing gave a few more examples.
There is Kuang Heng who chisels the wall to borrow light,
There was also Li Shen, who wrote "Compassion for the Peasants."
There was even Cao Cao, who controlled the emperor to command the vassals!
Indeed, Cao Cao was once a loyal young man, but that world had turned him into a lord who held the emperor in his hands.
After giving Cao Cao as an example, Zhu Yuanzhang's palms and hands were already covered in sweat.
"Good fellow!"
"Are you following Cao Cao's example?"
"If we allow you to develop and do not control it, you will become Cao Cao in the future, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang only looked at Ye Qing from the corner of his eyes, gritting his teeth as he complained.
