The most arrogant in history

Chapter 236 The evil plan succeeded.

Ye Kun chuckled:

"To govern the world, we need both military prowess and civil governance. Today I came to ask you, a sour scholar, if you have any suggestions on civil governance. I'm afraid you have a reputation for nothing and can't come up with a single answer."

It’s better to provoke him first, let’s try some provocation first!

Ma Zhao was fooled and said angrily: "I see the world's affairs like reading a book in the palm of my hand. Ye thief, I predict that you will not be able to hold on to Yizhou and will be dead on the street sooner or later!"

Ma's father was shocked and worried that his son would get himself into trouble, so he picked up his crutch and started beating him.

"Don't do it, old man."

Ye Kun stretched out his hand to stop him, and smiled at Ma Zhao: "Then tell me, why did I end up lying dead on the street?"

Ma Zhao sneered, "Han Chun is greedy and never gives up. Xie Tong is narrow-minded and never gives up. Gongsun Zhang dared not use these two people. But you handed over all the government affairs of Yizhou to them. Don't worry, they have already dug a grave for you and are waiting for you to lie in it!"

Ye Kun gave a thumbs up!

Ma Zhao was quite good at judging people.

Ma Zhao added: "You have made great use of Han Chun and Xie Tong. Within three years, Yizhou will be in chaos."

Ye Kun nodded: "Thank you Ma Jijiu for the reminder, I have a way to make everyone behave, including Han Chun and Xie Tong."

"What can we do? Marry Han Chun's daughter and continue the marriage alliance, right?"

"Does Han Chun have a daughter? I wonder if she is pretty?" Ye Kun smiled:

"Marriage increases affection, but you can't govern a country with affection. So, there must be laws. I plan to enforce the laws of Yizhou and rule the world by law. If the princes break the law, they will be punished the same as the common people. In this way, Han Chun and Xie Tong will also have to act according to the law, right?"

"Haha, if you, Ye Thief, break the law, are you guilty of the same crime as the common people?"

"Of course, no matter if it's Ye Thief or Lord Ye, if they break the law, they must be brought to justice. There will be no favoritism!"

"Ye thief, are you serious? If you are serious, I will keep an eye on you!" Ma Zhao became excited.

Snapped!

Ma's father slapped Ma Zhao in the face:

"You rebellious son! Lord Ye was polite to you, but you cursed him all the time. You call yourself a scholar, but you have no knowledge of etiquette. You have brought shame to Confucius!"

The slap was so hard that half of Ma Zhao's face became red and swollen.

Ye Kun felt very happy. This guy deserved to be beaten. His father was right!

“Okay, okay, I won’t curse…” Ma Zhao covered half of his face and glared at Ye Kun:

"Lord Ye, remember what I said today. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. I will keep an eye on you. Sooner or later, I will find evidence against you and convict you!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!" Ye Kun nodded:

"From today on, I appoint Ma Zhao as the chief priest of Yizhou, and concurrently take charge of Yizhou's judicial and criminal prosecution, and supervise officials at all levels. From the governor of the state to the clerk at the city gate, anyone who commits a crime will be severely punished!"

Ma Zhao was stunned for a moment, then proudly accepted the order: "Okay, I will take office tomorrow and clean up the judicial system and criminal prosecutions in Yizhou!"

Ye Kun's evil plan succeeded, and he smiled and said, "Goodbye!"

"No delivery!"

Ma Zhao is still very cool.

Ye Kun returned to the prefect's mansion, took a sip of tea, and accompanied Xie Baochan to visit the back garden.

Xie Baochan pulled Ye Kun to sit in the pavilion, and said intentionally or unintentionally:

"My husband, my father is the richest man in Yizhou. Now that my husband and I are married, our Xie family is even more prosperous and noble. But the moon is full and then it wanes, and the water is full and then it overflows. I am worried that the Xie family will be too powerful and cause dissatisfaction among other officials, which will eventually affect the governance of Yizhou. So I think that the power of the Xie family children should be shared with others..."

Ye Kun was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Madam, why do you say that? I have no suspicion about the Xie family."

Xie Baochan held Ye Kun's arm and buried her head in his arms:

"Holding the sword upside down, and being too powerful to be feared by the ruler, has always been a taboo for ministers. My father is greedy for power and cannot see this. If one day, my father goes too far, even if my husband can forgive him, how can the brave generals under my husband forgive him? So I really hope that my father can retreat bravely, instead of striving for everything..."

Ye Kun was even more astonished. This Xie Baochan's knowledge was far better than that of her father Xie Tong!

This is indeed my plan. I will deal with Han Chun and Xie Tong after Yizhou is stabilized!

But Xie Baochan was too smart. He saw through his thoughts and told them in advance.

However, Xie Baochan was so virtuous that she saved the Xie family from a great disaster.

Thinking of this, Ye Kun hugged Xie Baochan's shoulders and said with a smile:

"Madam, your considerations are reasonable. So I think we should ask Ma Zhao to be in charge of judicial prosecutions in Yizhou and supervise the administration of officials. In this way, there will be legal restrictions, and no one will go too far."

Xie Baochan smiled slightly: "That's great. If I have the chance in the future, I will persuade my father to put the overall situation first."

"Thank you for your care, madam." Ye Kun rewarded Xie Baochan.

Xie Baochan was embarrassed and punched Ye Kun lightly: "The maids are all here, how can this be allowed?"

The maids had already turned away and were all laughing.

Ye Kun accompanied Xie Baochan for a walk, and suddenly remembered the new laboratory built for Lao He, so he took Xie Baochan to visit it.

The laboratory is located in the villa of the prefectural government, covering an area of ​​more than three acres, all of which was allocated to Lao He.

In this way, it will be convenient for Ye Kun and Lao He to communicate morning and evening.

Old He came out with his daughter and greeted them, "Master Ye and Madam, why are you here? The laboratory is still under renovation and it will probably take three to five days to be put into use."

Ye Kun nodded: "I'll take my wife to see the models."

There are many novel gadgets and models in the laboratory.

There are small water wheels, small stone mills, models of Feihong Bridge, arch bridge and suspension bridge, and various practical tools.

There are also physical samples of tricycles and various plows and harrows.

It's almost like an exhibition hall.

Lao He accompanied Ye Kun to drink tea and report on his work.

He Tiantian took Xie Baochan to visit the exhibition room and introduced the functions and design principles of each product.

Xie Baochan exclaimed: "Miss Tiantian, you are so young, how come you know so much?"

"How would I understand? It was Lord Ye who taught us all." Tiantian smiled.

Xie Baochan looked back at Ye Kun with a meaningful look.

After spending an entire afternoon in the laboratory, Xie Baochan still felt a little unsatisfied.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Go back, Madam. I will have something more interesting to show you later."

Xie Baochan smiled and went back hand in hand with Ye Kun.

We will discuss this matter tomorrow.

The chief priest Ma Zhao, dressed neatly, came to work as expected.

Ye Kun announced publicly that Ma Zhao would be responsible for rectifying the administration of officials and enforcing justice in the future.

Han Chun, Xie Tong and others all frowned deeply, very dissatisfied with Ye Kun's decision.

Wu Qiong, who was recommended by Han Chun and was in charge of finance, objected on the spot:

"Master Ye, Ma Zhao has contradicted you several times and spoken rudely. He is not worthy of such a high position. If the officials of Yizhou follow Ma Zhao's example and are disrespectful to Master Ye, how will Master Ye establish his authority?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I think that only an impartial person can be in charge of the judiciary to eradicate corruption and crimes. Ma Zhao has a strong character and is upright, so he is the best candidate."
