The next morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lord Chen Hechen, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, had swollen eyes as big as walnuts, and pleaded guilty to the Holy Lord with a sad face: "...... The ministers did not know the people, and mistakenly believed the traitorous ministers, causing the people to suffer, and the court was deeply harmed. Wangsheng gave the minister a chance to make amends for his crimes, personally arrested Wu Qingquan, the prefect of Hanyang Prefecture, and escorted him back to Beijing to punish the crime. ”

When the courtiers heard this, half of them began to whisper, glancing at Chen He with their spare eyes, while the other half nodded their heads one after another, showing a look of approval.

Xue Wenfu looked at it coldly, extremely disdainful in his heart.

He also heard the rumors spread by Chen He in Beijing yesterday, and now he really struck while the iron was hot and personally arrested Wu Qingquan to take the pot?

I'm afraid things are not that simple, a little Wu Qingquan can make this matter over? I don't know how he was thinking about pulling the good general of the Ministry of Engineering into the water for burial at this time......

The emperor was silent for a while, and said: "It's okay, this matter involves the safety of millions of people in Hanyang and the greed for silver in tens of millions of two countries. ”

Chen He was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to thank him, but he saw an official wearing an official uniform of a painted brocade chicken standing up in front of the queue, and his voice was loud: "The minister asks for his life, and he will go to Hanyang with Lord Chen to find out about this matter." ”

Chen He's face changed, he gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile: "Lord Xue is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how can he leave Beijing rashly and investigate this matter that has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Xue Wenfu turned his head and forgot about him, and said with a smile: "Lord Chen's words are wrong, after all, this matter is supervised by the Ministry of Industry, how can it not be involved?" Then he smiled and said to Wang Dong, the secretary of the Criminal Department: "Yesterday, I also found out that there were moths from the Ministry of Industry in this matter, and I have handed him over to the Criminal Department to deal with, do you remember Lord Wang?" ”

Wang Dong glanced at Chen He, nodded with a forced smile: "This is indeed the case, then Master Zuo is already in prison in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department will interrogate him in a few days to find out." ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

First, he didn't expect Xue Wenfu to be so unsuspicious and handed over his subordinates directly to the Criminal Department, and second, he was surprised that he actually demolished Chen He's platform, didn't he want to do it with the prince's faction?

The emperor was also a little stunned: "What's going on?" Why is there someone in your Ministry of Works? ”

Xue Wenfu arched his hand and said: "Back to the saint, the turnover of money for building the dam has never passed through the hands of the Ministry of Industry, but the building materials must be approved by the Ministry of Industry. This question really made him show his feet, and the minister was frightened, so he directly handed it over to the Criminal Department, hoping to help the case. ”

The Emperor nodded, a look of appreciation evident in his eyes.

Chen He's face changed, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to pull Xue Wenfu's cronies off the horse, and even poured sewage on Xue Wenfu, but he actually took the initiative to hand over the suspicious subordinates to the court to deal with, so that not only did he get a good reputation for being selfless with an iron face, but also made it difficult for him to start......

The emperor glanced at the official wearing the crane official uniform at the forefront and said, "What does Xue Aiqing think?" ”

Xue Jianyan is fifty-nine years old this year, his beard is already completely white, his face is serious, his body is extremely upright, and there are no wrinkles around his official uniform, which shows that he is a very careful and harsh person.

Hearing this, he didn't move, took a step to the left with an indifferent face, and said: "The old minister thinks that this matter really shouldn't be held responsible by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, after all, something went wrong here, just to avoid suspicion, and there should be others watching." ”

The words are very clear and straightforward, which is exactly the style that Xue Jianyan has always had.

The ministers were indeed agitated, it stands to reason that Song Ge Lao's status is above Xue Ge Lao, but the saint didn't ask Song Ge Lao's opinion, and asked Xue Ge Lao directly, is it possible that the saint is already a little dissatisfied with Song Ge Lao in his heart?

Another official wearing an immortal crane official uniform on the left side of the queue stroked his beard with a smile when he heard this, and also took a step to the side, saying, "Xue Ge's words are very reasonable, and the minister seconded it." ”

It was Song Jingran, the first assistant of the cabinet, who spoke.

He is already in his sixties, but he looks younger than Xue Jianyan, he always has an approachable smile on his face, his beard is very long, and he has no oppressive bearing, at first glance, he just thought he was an ordinary old man.

However, it is in line with the bearing of Confucianism.

The emperor glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's great that Song Aiqing can think like this." ”

"In this case, after the court today, Xue Shangshu, you will set off for Anyang with Chen Yushi to find out about this corruption case." The emperor instructed lightly, but secretly gave Xue Wenfu a look.

Xue Wenfu nodded secretly, it seems that what he did yesterday did indeed successfully eliminate the emperor's vigilance, at least, in this matter, he trusted himself much more than he trusted Chen He.

Chen He glanced at this-stirring stick with resentment, and reluctantly knelt down with him to thank the emperor.

After descending from the court, the ministers walked through the white jade steps in turn, and Chen He and Huang Zheng deliberately waited for Xue Wenfu.

Xue Wenfu didn't dodge either, his intention couldn't be more obvious when he did this. He didn't think of bending his waist for a "future son of heaven" who had not yet been decided, their Xue family had been hairpins for generations, and they would not be bullied to the head, and they had to knock out their teeth and swallow blood, there was no such convention.

Since you provoked him, you must be prepared to die endlessly.

Chen He looked at him with a smile: "Lord Xue is really fond of fighting, and the matter of Hanyang Mansion is so concerned." ”

Xue Wenfu glanced at him: "It is obvious that the official has said it in front of the Holy Master, this matter is directly related to the Ministry of Industry, I hope Lord Chen will stop quibbling." ”

Chen He trembled angrily, he actually claimed to be his own official, did he want to use his official rank to suppress him? Good, good, worthy of being a second-class official, his bearing is extraordinary.

"Lord Xue is not afraid to investigate, will the matter involve Brother Ling?" Chen He's eyes flashed, and there was a dark look on his face.

Xue Wenfu frowned slightly, and smiled again: "If this is the case, this official can only kill his relatives in righteousness." It's just that Lord Chen, as an official of the imperial court, has to pay attention to evidence when he speaks, so throwing dirty water on the fourth child is slander and slander. "But he didn't look afraid at all.

Chen He was even more angry, but he was helpless, right now, he really couldn't do anything to Xue Wenli, at least, he couldn't pass the prince's level.

"Okay, Lord Xue will wait and see, when the time comes, who will cry first." There was nothing he could do but let go of the cruel words.

Xue Wenfu's expression did not move, and now that he didn't believe Chen He's nonsense at all.

In any case, this time, he would not let Chen He'an withdraw from this turmoil.
