Hearing the words "Four Auxiliary Ministers", Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then waved his hand. Seeing this, Ye Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed again, and then left the study under the escort of guards... ·················
Seeing Ye Fu looking so embarrassed and lonely, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sigh. Ye Fu is brave and resourceful and is a rare rising star in the Fengwu Army!
In order to focus on training him, Ye Mingsheng also promoted him to the general of the 14th Division and led him in the Western Expedition. During the Western Expedition, Ye Fu's performance did not disappoint Ye Mingsheng. He showed both wisdom and courage in several key battles. Worthy of Ye Mingsheng's exceptional promotion.
Ye Fu, who had repeatedly made military exploits after returning from the Western Expedition, was regarded as a rising star by the Fengwu Army. Ye Mingsheng originally planned to let him train for a few more years before transferring to the First Army or the Second Army. Yuan Song and He Jingyun will take over as the commanding officer of the Fengwu Army in the future and will become the future pillars of the Fengwu Army!
But Ye Mingsheng never expected that Ye Fu would fall into this matter, which really made Ye Mingsheng feel a little sad!
The only thing that makes Ye Mingsheng happy is that judging from the current evidence, although Ye Fu was involved in Ye Baode's conspiracy, and Ye Baode tried his best to get him to join, he never agreed to Ye Baode's plan from beginning to end, and did not completely choose to betray!
And at the last moment, Ye Fu also realized that he had lost his way, and with Huang Can, he chose to surrender and surrender...
After interrogating Ye Fu, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment but still did not open the letter Ye Baode left for him. Instead, he asked Ye Cheng:
"Has Ye Tie arrived?"
"arrive!"
Ye Mingsheng, who got the affirmative answer, immediately ordered:
"Let him in!"
"yes!"
After burning the incense, Ye Tie also walked into the study. Like Ye Fu, he knelt down consciously after entering the study.
Looking at his former personal guard captain in front of him, some past events also appeared in front of Ye Mingsheng. After a moment of silence, Ye Mingsheng slowly said:
"Do you know why Ye Baode held you hostage in the end?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Tie's expression changed several times. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said what he was thinking:
"He probably wants to protect me!"
Hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved. Then he looked at Ye Tie deeply and said slowly:
"I heard that after you went to see him last night, you wanted Ye Baode to come with you to see me tomorrow. Ye Tie, what do you want to do?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Ye Tie, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to want to say something but couldn't. He could only lower his head in shame.
Seeing that Ye Tie didn't speak, Ye Mingsheng continued to ask:
"Since the wordless letter, I heard that you have been investigating. Some time has passed. If you wish, tell me what you have investigated... ·······》
Ye Tie lowered his head and said:
"In my humble position, I investigated the illegal activities of De Feng Xing Company!"
Ye Mingsheng was not surprised when he heard this, and immediately asked calmly:
"So you want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to drag Ye Baode to surrender in front of me, and then you can intercede for him?"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words revealing his little thoughts, Ye Tie felt even more embarrassed and could only say with shame and annoyance:
"Commander, I didn't expect Uncle De, no! Ye Baode was so courageous that he wanted to rebel. I just thought he was just greedy for some money. I was blind and didn't see his true face!"
Ye Mingsheng heard this and continued to ask expressionlessly:
"Why didn't you invest in De Fengxing Company when you bought shares in Ye Baoda? Your lieutenant Huang Can made tens of thousands of taels from it every year!"
Ye Tie raised his head and said sincerely:
"I, Ye Tie, don't have much ability, but Commander Meng, you have grown bigger and bigger these years without giving up your position, and all kinds of rewards have never been
I am not missing any more! So I don’t lack money, real estate or land! "
"Commander, your kindness has always been in Ye Tie's heart. I know that you have always hated corruption, so I don't want to get involved and do anything to disappoint you!"
Ye Mingsheng glanced at him coldly and asked:
"You didn't want to disappoint me, so you didn't report it?"
Ye Tie explained helplessly:
"When Ye Baode founded De Fengxing Company, he told me that De Fengxing Company was doing serious business. You know that I, Ye Tie, am a rough man and don't know how to do business at all, so I didn't think about it. How could I know How could Ye Baode be like this..."
Listening to Ye Tie's answer, Ye Mingsheng closed his eyes and fell into silence. Just when the atmosphere in the study became more solemn, Ye Mingsheng spoke again:
"This time, as many as six people from the Ye family are involved in this case. Ye Tie, why do you think this is happening?"
Ye Tie, who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment but still replied:
"I don't know what a humble job is!"
"You don't know or you don't dare to say it, or you don't want to say it?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Tie felt deep in his heart. He took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Some people in the clan feel that Marshal you don't trust me and just let everyone do trivial things. They want to share your worries with Marshal more!"
Ye Ming was very angry when he heard this and laughed back:
"What a person to share my worries! What a person to share my worries!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng like this, Ye Tie quickly lowered his head and said:
"Designation is a capital crime!"
Ye Mingsheng waved his hands and said with some disappointment:
"Go home and wait for your fate!"
Ye Tie was already prepared to be thrown directly into prison by Ye Mingsheng, but he did not expect that Ye Mingsheng asked him to go home and wait for his fate. This made him feel a little surprised. However, the Queen was stunned for a moment and said quickly:
"I obey my humble duty!"
After saying that, Ye Tie stood up and bowed and exited the door. As Ye Tie left, the door was closed again, leaving only Ye Mingsheng alone in the study... ··········
Ye Mingsheng, who was a little tired, leaned back in his chair and took a cup of tea. Then his eyes fell on the letter Ye Baode left for him. After hesitating for a second, Ye Mingsheng chose to open the letter.
The number of words in the letter is very long and judging from the handwriting, Ye Baode did not write it all in one go but wrote it intermittently. It seemed that Ye Baode had long wanted to tell Ye Mingsheng these inner thoughts.
Looking at Ye Baode's accusations against him in the letter, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but turn pale. Although he wanted to burn Ye Baode's death letter, in the end Ye Mingsheng still had the patience to read the letter completely. Read it carefully and then destroy the letter with a candle!
After reading Ye Baode's letter, Ye Mingsheng, who was already very tired, felt even more exhausted. Although most of Ye Baode's letter contained some bastard words and even some heart-wrenching remarks!
But for some of the content, Ye Mingsheng had to admit that what he said was correct!
He, Ye Mingsheng, does not have enough trust in the abilities of the Ye family, and even intentionally does not want the Ye family to take on the important responsibilities!
But Ye Mingsheng feels that this is not his fault. It’s not that Ye Mingsheng looks down on his own family, but it is true that the Ye family has been farming for generations before. Not to mention their talents, even the literate people are barely alive, and more than half of them are literate. A person's level of education is only enough to write his own name·······················
It may sound ugly to say that Ye Mingsheng can only be a high-ranking person among the poor, like Ye Tie, Ye Dong, Ye Fu, Ye Baode, and even the previous Ye Hongsheng and Wang Xuecheng. He will try his best to promote those he can!
But the key to the matter is that Ye Mingsheng can promote you, but are you qualified for this position?
Although there has always been a jingle in the official circles of the Zhou Dynasty, the boss
If your boss says you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't, you can do it. If your boss says you don't want it, you can't do it.
But Ye Mingsheng is still a rationalist at heart. He hopes that the officials he appoints can shoulder their due responsibilities and benefit one party during their term of office!
Therefore, one of the most important conditions for Ye Mingsheng to appoint people is that they must be qualified, so Ye Mingsheng does not want to appoint people who are not qualified for the position!
People like Ye Baode and others believe that their surname is Ye and they are relatives of the emperor in the Fengwu Army, and they have contributed a lot to the development of the Fengwu Army!
Therefore, they hope to seek some special treatment. They should not be on the same starting line as others in the competition, but should have some priority!
Therefore, after being treated equally by Ye Mingsheng, Ye Baode and others also had some resentment towards Ye Mingsheng. They believed that Ye Mingsheng was too harsh on his own people, did not take care of his family at all, and punished him for being greedy, even in some extreme ways. Some also believe that Ye Mingsheng is deliberately ostracizing his own family...
In the letter, Ye Baode gave an example. He has always been conscientious in the Dadongsheng Company and worked hard to create hundreds of thousands of taels of profits for the finance every year. During the Fengwu Army war, the Dadongsheng Company he led In the transportation of materials, the task is also completed with quality and quantity, and there has never been an error!
In cooperating with Ye Mingsheng's various reforms, he also worked hard to ensure that Ye Mingsheng's requirements could be implemented. However, even though he worked so hard, when Ye Mingsheng was planning to establish the Sixth Department, the position of Minister of Household Affairs was not even considered. Ye Baode was not considered!
According to what Ye Baode said in the letter, he thought that Zhang Juning, the left minister, should be ignored. After all, this was also a veteran of the Fengwu Army, with profound qualifications and great merits. Ye Baode recognized him as he was ranked ahead of him!
But who is his right-hand man Hu Ming? Can a defeated general who surrendered directly serve as the right minister of household affairs?
In terms of his contribution to the Fengwu Army, his hard work, and his relationship with Ye Mingsheng, he, Ye Baode, was not far above Hu Ming. Why did this man named Hu yell in front of him and act like a minister?
If Ye Baode had only been resentful towards Ye Mingsheng before, then the loss of the position of the right minister of household affairs, which Ye Baode regarded as his prize, completely ignited the anger in Ye Baode's heart... ···············
The investigation of Sun Jing'an only added fuel to the fire. After realizing that De Feng Xing Company could not be saved, Ye Baode also understood that the word "Ye" in his surname could not save his life, so he simply did not do anything but directly I just want to give it a try!
However, Ye Baode knew very well that Ye Mingsheng had a high prestige in the army. If he directly chose to rebel, not only would he not succeed, he might even have very few followers!
So Ye Baode came up with a vicious plan, which was to fabricate the lie that Murong Qingwu had an affair with Ye Kui, the commander of the Guards Battalion, and launched a mutiny to put Ye Mingsheng under house arrest!
And he forged the token and the so-called belt edict, hoping to carry out rebellion in the name of killing the traitor and rescuing the commander-in-chief!
Although Ye Baode had a good idea, his lies and the edict on clothes and clothing did confuse some middle and lower-level generals, making them eager to fight with righteous indignation, thinking of rushing into Ye Mansion to kill the rebels and rescue the commander-in-chief!
But at the specific implementation level, his ideas were not recognized by others, and because of the haste of things, some things went wrong, and the news was leaked, which ultimately led to a failure!
Ye Mingsheng has decided to hand over this matter to the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple for a three-in-one trial, and let Li Jian, Zhu Xiaojie, and others try the prisoners except Ye Tie. Ye Mingsheng believes that they will give a fair and just verdict. the result of·····················
As for Ye Tie, his former personal guard captain, Ye Mingsheng could only sigh!
First of all, Ye Tie was not a shareholder of De Fengxing Company, and he did not participate in De Fengxing's illegal salt sales in Qilu, buying and selling good men into prostitution, and other evil deeds!
Secondly, when Ye Baode and others conspired to rebel, although Ye Tie's name was used, Ye Tie actually did not know about it.
And the one in his hand can mobilize all Yi Jing's troops.
The Tiger Head Token was never lost and was always in Ye Tie's hands.
The tiger head token in Ye Baode's hand was forged by the craftsmen of the First Manufacturing Bureau. As for why the craftsmen of the First Manufacturing Bureau were able to forge it, the reason is very simple because Ye Tie's tiger head token was also made by the craftsmen of the First Manufacturing Bureau!
Ye Tie really made only two mistakes this time!
First, as the commander-in-chief of Yi Jing, he should know the movements of troops and horses, so if he didn't know about it, he had committed a crime of dereliction of duty!
Secondly, after learning about the illegal activities of Defengxing Company, he did not inform Ye Mingsheng immediately. Instead, he still wanted to protect Ye Baode and brought Ye Baode to him to plead for mercy. This was also a crime of concealment without reporting knowledge. !
Ye Mingsheng had no problem at all in dismissing him based on these two points, but how could anyone be so ruthless as a human being?
So to be honest, Ye Mingsheng hasn't figured out how to deal with Ye Tie yet, but what Ye Mingsheng is sure of is that he doesn't want Ye Tie to be tried and convicted by the three divisions in a public trial!
Compared to a public trial, Ye Mingsheng prefers to make a decision to punish Ye Tie directly after he has an idea...
