Facing this scene, not only was Zhu Yuanzhang numb.
Even Hu Weiyong and the others who were still standing in the hall were numb.
He had never expected this!
Was this the truth?
Hu Weiyong understood that it was not a matter of snatching territory, but of not being isolated by the kneeling ministers.
As the saying went, a wise man knew how to adapt to the times!
Crown Prince Zhu Biao spoke up for Ye Qing and the officials of Taiyuan. Even Xu Da, Chang Mao, and the other martial artists spoke up for them.
If they did not kneel down and say this, they would definitely become the target of public criticism after the court session.
In fact, he might even be suspected by the high and mighty Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, please uphold justice for Lord Ye!”
"To uphold justice for all the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture!”
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, there was no longer anyone who could stand up straight.
Even Hu Weiyong had started to force the abdication?
Zhu Yuanzhang was not a fool. He knew the reason why Hu Weiyong and the others followed suit.
However, it was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Ye Qing was even more terrifying!
Other than Liu Sheng and Zhu Biao, none of them had seen Ye Qing before.
However, Ye Qing had the ability to make these people force him to abdicate.
No matter what their purpose was, the entire court knelt down for him.
Looking at the scene in front of him,
Zhu Yuanzhang felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
He had racked his brains to stop Ye Qing's meteoric rise in his career, but he had never expected that he would become the greatest helper for Ye Qing's promotion!
He had to be promoted!
With such a big misunderstanding and such a big loss of face, it was impossible not to be promoted.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely flustered and regretful.
If he didn't find trouble with Ye Qing, he wouldn't have made such a huge contribution to the court.
It was fine if all the civil and military officials in the court knew about it, but he even made himself a 'blind' person.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only wanted to give himself two tight slaps.
However, since things had come to this, he had to face it and resolve it.
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, had a strong point. He absolutely did not believe in fate or evil. As long as it was not the last moment, he would not stop tormenting.
He would find someone to verify Ye Qing's contributions, but he also knew that the so-called verification was just a formality.
Liu Sheng did not dare to lie.
This map of the granaries that had been drawn for several years was enough to prove it.
Logically speaking, since things had developed to this point, he had no other choice but to promote Ye Qing and reward all the officials in Taiyuan.
If he hadn't seen the three-minute video of his last two hours, he would have been angry at the scene of the abdication, but he would also have been secretly happy to have such an official.
But the problem was that he had seen the future!
Recalling the three minutes of footage that made him break out in cold sweat, and looking at the scene of the abdication, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more flustered.
How could a corrupt official who had no choice but to be promoted and compensated when he was under house arrest not be frightened?
The life browsing function of the second generation of emperors of the Ming Dynasty is about to be activated.
"This is f * cking torture!"
“......”
The promotion and compensation were set in stone.
Now, his only hope was to see Ye Qing's actions through the life of the second emperor, so as to determine his attitude towards Ye Qing in the future.
Should he allow it to develop?
Was he trying to find a way to stop him from continuing his promotion?
Or do I have to find a way to kill him?
However, this willful cheat did not even give him a hint.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly and stood up from his throne.
He walked down from the dragon throne and personally untied Liu Sheng.
Then, he announced,""We declare that Lord Liu and his subordinates are innocent!”
"I bestow upon Taiyuan's prefect, Liu Sheng, the emperor's grace!”
"Also, quickly send someone to verify the three granaries in Taiyuan.”
"Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang left in a majestic manner.
However, when he reached the corner, his true form was revealed. If not for the eunuch's support, he would have fallen because his legs were weak.
In the court,
The faces of all the officials in the court changed drastically. They cupped their hands and bowed to Liu Sheng, who was wearing a prisoner's uniform.
Especially Hu Weiyong, who had added insult to injury before, smiled and congratulated,""The emperor's grace is vast and mighty. This is the first time the country has been founded!”
"Congratulations, Lord Liu.”
Liu Sheng forced a smile at Hu Weiyong and the others 'congratulations, and then went straight to the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Xu Da, and the other generals.
In the eyes of Hu Weiyong and the others,
After Liu Sheng bowed and thanked him, they started chatting fervently.
Seeing this scene, Hu Weiyong's eyes turned cold, and then he left with his clique.
In the main hall,
After Liu Sheng chatted with the martial artists for a while, Zhu Biao reminded them,""Don't let His Majesty wait for too long. You're the first person to receive the emperor's grace!”
After Liu Sheng thanked him again, he followed the eunuch who came to welcome him and followed Zhu Yuanzhang.
The so-called emperor's grace was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's second-hand bathwater.
Strictly speaking, it was second-hand hot spring water!
Zhu Yuanzhang soaked in the first pool, and then the water flowed into the second pool to reward the meritorious officials.
If it was Ye Qing, he would rather die than soak in it.
However, it was different for them!
The emperor is a true dragon and son of heaven,
They were able to soak in water with remnants of dragon energy. That was a supreme glory that could be boasted about for a lifetime!
After soaking in the Immense Imperial Grace, Liu Sheng was brought to rest.
He couldn't go back to Taiyuan yet. After all, he still had to go through the investigation process.
And at this moment…
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma in the royal study.
The other officials of Taiyuan Prefecture were easy to deal with. Even if they were not promoted, they would be rewarded with something.
But Ye Qing was different.
As long as Zheng Shi Yuan brought back the true news of the three granaries, he would definitely be promoted!
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not want the most was to promote Ye Qing!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and the Crown Prince are here.”
Upon hearing this news, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had a headache, but he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
If it was any other minister, he could still refuse to see them.
It was just the mother and son. He couldn't not see them.
Empress Ma and Zhu Biao's intention was clear. They were still trying to force the abdication.
Empress Ma smiled gently." Your Majesty, are you in a difficult position to promote Ye Qing?"”
"Yes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in annoyance.
This old woman!
Why don't you just say it and I'll tell you what promotion you should give him?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very smart. Empress Ma had come for this purpose.
Empress Ma sat beside Zhu Yuanzhang and said gently,""What about the prefect of the NingBo Prefecture?"
Hearing this suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right!
Why didn't he think of that!
The Ning Bo Prefecture was a very special place.
During the Song Dynasty, the city of Ning Bo was an important hub for maritime trade. It could be said to be extremely prosperous.
However, after a hundred years of incompetent rule by the Yuan Dynasty, they had long become extremely poor.
He would send Ye Qing to the Ningpo Prefecture.
If they couldn't create a second Yanmen County, they would have a reason to punish them.
Not only that, but the Residence of Ning Bo wasn't far from the Ying Tian Residence. He could go over and find trouble with Ye Qing at any time.
He did not believe that he would be forced to promote Ye Qing again.
Impossible!
It was absolutely impossible!
Zhu Yuanzhang held Empress Ma's hand tightly and said with a smile,""The Empress is right.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately wrote the imperial edict and stamped it with a big seal.
However, the moment the people from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs took the imperial edict, he regretted it.
Something's not right!
It was not a good sign to be so close to the Ying Tian Prefecture!
What if?
If he was forced to be promoted again, wouldn't he be directly promoted to the Ying Tian Manor?
Thinking of this, the way he looked at Empress Ma and Zhu Biao changed.
"I was tricked by these two!"
"This mother and son just want Ye Qing to be closer to the Yingtian Prefecture. They're preparing to directly get to the Yingtian Prefecture next time!”
“.......”
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao's smiles were more or less like a 'cunning scheme has succeeded.'
After their evil plan succeeded, the two of them did not stay and simply took their leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless as he watched the two of them leave.
He felt rather helpless!
He only felt that apart from himself, everyone else was trying to push for the final outcome.
The result of having all the civil and military officials and titles, and even taking over the seal of the Great Ming Dynasty.
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was afraid!
He was afraid that even if he didn't want to, Ye Qing's power at that time would force him to hand over the national seal. He hoped that Ye Qing would remember Zhu Yuanzhang's good deeds and not cause any trouble for his descendants.
At the thought of this, he began to curse the cheat again.
It was too torturous!
He really wanted to know if Ye Qing had thought of his good deeds and if he had rebelled against his descendants.
Ding!
Congratulations!
The browsing function of the life of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been activated!
