Chapter 49 It’s Time to Get Married

Chapter 49 It’s Time to Get Married

Of course, although Ye Xuan racked his brains to find a seemingly perfect excuse for himself, it was just an excuse after all, and it did not mean that Ye Xuan was sure to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have the courage to refuse and would be forced to accept their fate.

But Ye Xuan is different. If he can't be a salted fish, he would rather run away. Whoever wants to be the official can do it.

The skills given by the system are so powerful!

After saying the words of refusal, Ye Xuan was ready to be scolded.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at all. Instead, he said with interest: "You are indeed old enough to get married. Carrying on the family line is also a man's duty. In this case, I will not make it difficult for you. Let's talk about it after you get married and start a family."

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, wondering if Old Zhu had changed his personality?
Even if you don't get furious on the spot, at least you can scold me a few times to vent your anger, and I'll feel at peace!

But Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, he didn't even have the urge to curse. Instead, he fully affirmed Ye Xuan's plan like an intimate elder sister.

This scene stunned Yun Qi, who had just returned after seeing Old Man Li off.

When did His Majesty become so easy to talk to?
Zhu Yuanzhang always gave orders, and whatever he said was the final word. I have never seen an official dare to refuse without making Zhu Yuanzhang angry.

Yunqi has served Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, but this is really the first time in his life.

From this we can see that Zhu Yuanzhang still has a very good impression of Ye Xuan.

Thinking of this, Yun Qi secretly made up his mind to maintain a good relationship with Ye Xuan.

Maybe this favor will come in handy when Ye Xuan becomes successful in the future.

The interpersonal relationships in the court are so simple. Either there is enough benefit transfer between each other, or you invest in building good relationships in advance before others become successful.

And Yunqi undoubtedly understood this truth.

No matter how confused Ye Xuan was about Zhu Yuanzhang's change, it was still a good thing, so he immediately thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for his understanding.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more and waved his hand to signal Ye Xuan that he could leave.

After instructing the other eunuchs to send Ye Xuan away, Yun Qi couldn't help but curiously inquire about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Ye Xuan: "This Lord Ye is really ignorant. It's rare that His Majesty values ​​him so much and entrusts him with an important task, but he refuses. Isn't he afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and shook his head, saying calmly: "After all, he is just a small centurion. Since he wants to marry and have children, it is not a bad idea to let him hone himself in the Jinyiwei first."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qi immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

Zuo You Ye Xuan was just a small centurion, although he was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang and was intended to be used.

But since Ye Xuan was unwilling, Zhu Yuanzhang would not force him. Besides, Ye Xuan did not have enough experience in officialdom. It would not be too late to let him stay in the Jinyiwei and hone his skills after he had gained enough experience.

To put it bluntly, since Ye Xuan does not plan to take a position now, he should be kept as a reserve cadre.

Anyway, when Zhu Yuanzhang really needs him, he will have no choice but to refuse.

After figuring out the key, Yun Qi became more determined to make friends with Ye Xuan.

As the saying goes, a duck knows first when the river water warms in spring. Who else can know who the emperor likes the most better than the eunuchs around him?

……

It was not until he walked out of the Meridian Gate and saw Wang Feihu and others waiting there that Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been in another world.

As soon as they saw Ye Xuan coming out, Wang Feihu and other Jinyiwei came forward eagerly to greet him.

Wang Feihu said bluntly, "Well, well, you have done your job so well, so I'm sure His Majesty will reward you, right?"

If the Dark Guard was established and I was promoted to the rank of Qian Hu and served as the Dark Guard Commander, then it would be a reward. Ye Xuan thought so in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.

After all, this was a plan that Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet started, and it also had the implicit intention of balancing the Jinyiwei and Mao Xiang.

Ye Xuan is not a gossiper who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. If this matter gets out and gets to Mao Xiang's ears.

By then, no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang admires him, it will be useless and he will definitely kill him.

However, Wang Feihu and Song Zhenshan obviously had high expectations for this mission, which was to be carried out solely by the emperor.

Come to think of it, after all, it was a task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and my team did a great job. According to common people's thinking, even if we can't get promoted, it's only natural to be rewarded with some gold and silver and make some money, right?

But who is Zhu Yuanzhang? In his previous life, he would be a private company boss. He would think that I have already paid you a salary, so you should work hard for the company. How dare you ask me for a bonus?

Although from a certain perspective, it is not excessive for Zhu Yuanzhang to think so.

But human nature is selfish after all. If I work hard but don’t get any rewards, then why would I work so hard?
Anyway, I only get a fixed salary every month, and it’s more comfortable to just take it easy than to work hard.

There are many people like this, for example, Ye Xuan is a slacker.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not personally given the order and there was no way to avoid it, how could they have been so active?

Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Ye Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang could righteously refuse to give rewards, but Ye Xuan couldn't!
If Ye Xuan didn't do anything to show his appreciation, everyone would think that Ye Xuan had taken the Emperor's reward for himself.

After that, if Ye Xuan wants to do something in the future, there will be people willing to work for him.

He had no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster, thinking so, Ye Xuan took out a few Ming Dynasty banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Wang Feihu and others.

Although his heart ached, Ye Xuan still had to act generous and said, "Here, take it and share it among us!"

Everyone immediately cheered.

After arranging more than a dozen brothers, Ye Xuan began to think again.

Although he felt confident this time, how many people in history dared to refuse Zhu Yuanzhang's request?

Is this the first time this has happened since the founding of the country?
Ye Xuan thought so.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Ye Xuan can put his heart at ease and continue to live his peaceful life.

Since he used getting married and having children as an excuse in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, it couldn't just be talk.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew this, Ye Xuan was really just using this as an excuse to fool him.

Given Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he had to be charged with deceiving the emperor.

So the matter of getting married really needs to be put on the agenda!

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan silently searched for a suitable candidate in his mind.

But I just came back from a business trip and I am really tired.

Well, it would be better to go find Nianwei and relax first.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan asked Wang Feihu and others to go back to the Zhenfu Division first.

He then mounted his warhorse in a dashing manner and headed straight for Miaoyin Pavilion.
