MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 31 I can copy 10 million taels of the list of officials of the Donglin Party

  Chapter 31 lists the list of officials of the Donglin Party, I can copy ten million taels of silver!

  Ye Xianggao bowed down in front of Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, please intercede for the old man, so that His Majesty will only turn the old man into a commoner or guard the border, and leave the old man alive!"

Seeing this, Zhang Gui was both disappointed and helpless: "Why are you doing this! No matter how you say it, you are a dignified chief assistant and the leader of Donglin, but you are so humble in front of me, a foreign relative, which really damages the character of the scholar-bureaucrats in this dynasty! Could it be that the Hongzhi Dynasty People like Li Mengyang holding papayas and smashing domineering relatives are gone in my Ming Dynasty?"

As he said that, Zhang Gui said again: "What's more, Your Majesty needs to use your life to warn the cabinet ministers behind. If you only seek your own life but not the country, or even allow others to seek the country, then you will end up worse than those who seek the country. Therefore, You must die today! The people of the world also need an extremely selfish cabinet minister like you to use your life to wake up the cabinet ministers behind, to govern for the world, not for the people of the world, it is really better to turn red into mud and nourish the people of the world."

After a long while, Ye Xianggao stood up tremblingly before Zhang Gui personally helped him, staring at Zhang Gui with a pair of cloudy eyes with thick eyelids, and sneered: "Your Majesty is young, too vigorous , so I want to change the evils of the world, this old man understands."

   As he said that, Ye Xianggao asked Zhang Gui again: "But why does Uncle Guo worry about all the people in this world?!"

   "The old man really doesn't understand. After all, you are a foreign relative, and you already have wealth. Why do you care about the government?"

   "Even if you want to win the favor, there is no need to worry about the life and death of the people in the world. But now, you care about it, and every sentence seems to be blaming the old for harming the country and the people, just like before in Xiyuan!"

   "You say that, there is only one reason that can explain it. That is, you must think that my Ming Dynasty will die in less than 20 or 30 years!"

   "Yes and no?"

   Ye Xianggao then asked.

  Zhang Gui laughed: "You are the chief assistant after all, you have seen through my mind so quickly."

   "But it's still too late, I should have seen it earlier."

Ye Xianggao smiled wryly, and said again: "At first, I thought you were flattering Your Majesty, just like the relatives in history, just to gain more power. It's just that you blamed me in Xiyuan for forcing Your Majesty to use a knife. Speaking, it was only after you took the initiative to restore Jiangling's reputation that I realized that something was wrong, now that I heard your words, I understand more clearly that you are different from other relatives, and other relatives will not speak for Jiangling."

Zhang Gui nodded: "So you shouldn't be prejudiced against me from the very beginning, you should talk to me first, maybe you won't end up like this now, instead of forcing the emperor because I offered a new carriage Drive me back to my hometown, even instruct the officials to impeach me, and even put me to death. It can be seen that you, a scholar-bureaucrat, hurt yourself at the beginning with your arrogance."

  Ye Xianggao looked up to the sky and sighed: "Things in the world are unpredictable!"

  Then, Ye Xianggao suddenly asked Zhang Gui seriously: "Why do you think that the Ming Dynasty is not far away?!"

  Zhang Gui thought for a while and replied: "Because I found that there are too many people like you in Daming now! Shrewd but extremely self-interested, full of benevolence and morality, but only thinking about how to eat more people in the world."

  Ye Xianggao was speechless.

  After a while, Ye Xianggao asked again: "Uncle Guo must have come here not just to send servants on the road, right?"

Zhang Gui nodded: "That's right, you, Ye Fuqing, are the leader of Donglin. Yang Dahong and Qian Muzhai can't compare with you, and there are too many people in Donglin, spread all over the government and the public. You, Ye Fuqing, can't leave without a leader. And was completely slaughtered?"

   "Although I don't like you people in Donglin, I still have to admit that some of you are still useful, while some of you are heinous and a great disaster that disturbs the court."

   "As for these people, you know best, because almost all of them are your disciples, old staff and even relatives and friends."

"So, you write a list of who is available and who is not, who is not only unavailable or even punished for copying the family, and who is not only available but even reused. Make it clear. This is what Ye Xianggao can do for many years in power. The last contribution to the imperial court."

"Yu Gong, the imperial court needs talents to reform and eliminate evils, and even those who are familiar with the situation in Jiangnan come from Jiangnan. Yu private, you probably don't want your disciples and old officials to be expelled from the court because of your departure, right?" , so who will rehabilitate you in the future?"

  After Zhang Gui said this, Ye Xianggao sighed: "Well, for the country and the people, servants should indeed write down who will be guaranteed and who will not be guaranteed in the future."

   As he spoke, Ye Xianggao shouted, "Bring a pen!"

  Zhang Gui gave Yang Huan a wink.

  Yang Huan handed over the pen himself, and consciously left Ye Xianggao's cell with the officials present.

  Ye Xianggao strode forward, sat on the bench, pressed a white paper on the desk, and began to write.

"Among the cabinet ministers, Han Yu and Liu Yixiu, the servants will not mention it. Uncle Guo must be clear: Han Yu is honest and knowledgeable, and he can be used. But let him govern and revolutionize the world. I am afraid that he will be powerless. This person I can't suppress the world's speech officials; Liu Yixiu is short-tempered, greedy and cunning, he should be copied!"

   "And among my Donglin people, the one who is available is Yuan Keli, a great talent!"

   "Li Sancai, he can be punished and his family can be ransacked. He is greedy and despicable. I am dying, so I don't need to cover it up for him."

   "Sun Chengzong can be reused and has a big heart, but it is not enough to seek national greatness."

  "Yang Lian is upright and outspoken, but he often doesn't understand the general situation. He should be demoted. Staying in Beijing will only harm him and the country."

   "Lu Xiangsheng, in my East Forest, I am also a person with both civil and military skills. I have a strategy, which can be used to great effect!"

   "Qian Qianyi can only be used as an Hanlin. It can be used but not used for a lot."

   "Hou Xun, forming a party for personal gain, the views of sects are very important, so it is not available."

   "Zhou Yanru, love money like life!"

   "Li Banghua, who came from a humble background and has the ambition to rectify the world, can be of great use!"

  …

  Ye Xianggao carefully listed all the officials of the Donglin Party, and wrote his own evaluation.

  Zhang Gui has to admit that people who are about to die speak well. The people mentioned by Ye Xianggao are basically consistent with their performance in history.

  In addition, he has to admit that Ye Xianggao is actually a man of knowledge, and it's no wonder that he can make Donglin people admire him, but he just doesn't want to be the second Zhang Juzheng.

   "You said, if it's good for you to seek the country, with your ability to know people, you don't have to worry about not being able to get the name of a grand master in your lifetime."

  The last person in the Ming Dynasty who was granted the title of Grand Master was Zhang Juzheng, so what Zhang Gui said is self-evident.

  Ye Xianggao just smiled, and continued to write the Donglin list honestly.

   "Yuan Keli, Li Banghua, Lu Xiangsheng, those who can be used, you can write them a personal letter, and let them follow the emperor in the future. It's still early, and it won't be too late for you to go on the road after tomorrow morning."

   Zhang Gui ordered again after he finished writing.

  Ye Xianggao glanced at Zhang Gui after hearing this: "Wei Zhongxian only wants money from my Ye family, but your uncle wants people from the Ye family, even more ruthless than his surname Wei!"

  Zhang Gui really wanted to take away Ye Xianggao's political legacy and drain his last bit of value, and said: "It's not just them, your wife and children, I will also take care of it."

"you!"

  Ye Xianggao looked at Zhang Gui in astonishment, gritted his teeth and said, "My servant is only ten years old!"

  Zhang Gui smiled: "It seems that you are not old! No wonder you have love for life."

  Ye Xianggao asked again: "I have written it, but they may not listen to it."

  Zhang Guidao: "It's not important. Those who are really available will come to investigate and see for themselves how the royal family behaves."

   "Okay, I will write it."

  Ye Xianggao replied.

  Following the crowing of a rooster, Ye Xianggao set out on the road with a pair of sore hands, and was hanged in the prison.

  …

   Zhang Gui, who had stayed up all night, went to Xiyuan with the list of Donglin. Coincidentally, he saw Wei Zhongxian bringing many large boxes with him.

  As soon as Wei Zhongxian saw Zhang Gui, he hurried over to greet him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Guo, you can ask our family for silver now. Guess how much our family copied, the silver is more than 300,000 taels!"

  Zhang Gui said lightly: "It's so-so, believe it or not, I can copy tens of millions of taels for you in one go."

  Zhang Gui knew that Wei Zhongxian wanted to prove himself, but he just deliberately didn't give Wei Zhongxian any praise.
