"Report!"

Not long after Zhang Feizi's front foot just now, a Praetorian Guard soldier rushed into the imperial study, and before Yingchang could open his mouth to ask, the Praetorian Guard soldier knelt down on one knee to make a report: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Jiang Shangshu and Jia Shangshu are fighting outside the Chengde Gate!" ”

"What?" Ying Chang's eyes couldn't help but stare for a moment.

Fight? These two actually fought?

Ying Chang quickly calmed down, looked at the Praetorian Guard in an unhurried tone and asked, "Why are you fighting?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the villain is not particularly clear, but from what the two Shangshu adults said when they quarreled, it can probably be guessed that they quarreled because of the budget of the Ministry of Industry!" The Praetorian Guard replied with his head bowed.

"I know, let the two of them in!" Ying Chang waved his hand indifferently, unable to detect his true thoughts or emotions about the matter from the surface at all.

"Yes!" The Praetorian Guard waited for a respectful compilation, then got up from the ground, and soon left the imperial study, while Yingchang waited quietly and asked the palace maid to make a cup of tea.

About a stick of incense time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Jiang Haiyou and the Ministry of Household Shangshu Jia Luo finally came to the imperial study, the two of them were more embarrassed than the other, especially Jiang Haiyou, the official hat was crooked, his hair was scattered, his face was blue and purple, and the official uniform on his body was also crooked, and Jia Luo was not much better than him.

These two faces are like frost, their eyes are full of anger, and they almost write the word unconvinced on their faces, how can they have the appearance of important ministers of the court now, it is clear that they are the street ruffians who have just finished fighting, if they take off their official uniforms, no one will know that they are the second grade of the imperial court!

"Chen Jia Luo to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Chenjiang Haiyou greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Even though the two were not convinced by each other, they still didn't dare to be rude in front of Ying Chang, and they knelt on the ground to bow down, while Ying Chang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the two kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, Ying Chang didn't say a word, and Jia Luo and Jiang Haiyou didn't dare to speak.

The atmosphere became so weird, and it suddenly fell into a stalemate, and after a long time, Ying Changfang asked indifferently: "Who made the first move?" ”

Ying Chang didn't let them get up, just let them kneel.

"Yes Chen!"

"It's him!"

Jia Luo and Jiang Haiyou said in unison, Jia Luo directly admitted that it was his first hand, Yingchang heard the reply of the two, and then fell silent, leisurely picked up the fragrant tea that had just been brewed on the imperial case, held the teacup and put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

In fact, tea is not fragrant, it depends on people's mood, tea drinkers are in a good mood, the tea brewed with inferior tea leaves is fragrant, tea drinkers are in a bad mood, no matter how good the tea is brewed, the tea is not fragrant, and the taste is the same.

Of course, tea is not so mysterious, but when the tea drinker is in a bad mood, the heart cannot be calmed, how to taste the deliciousness of tea if the heart is not quiet?

Ying Chang is in a bad mood now, don't look at him as if he is enjoying it, in fact, he is not tasting fragrant tea at all, he is just making a appearance, he is very annoyed now, and the reason for his annoyance is naturally that Jiang Haiyou and Jia Luo are fighting.

Two important ministers of the imperial court actually fought outside the Chengde Gate, and they were not afraid of being seen and spread out, which was simply unseemly.

Ying Chang pretended to take a sip of tea, then gently put down the teacup, looked at Jia Luo and Jiang Haiyou indifferently and asked, "Because of what?" ”

As soon as he heard why he was fighting, Jiang Haiyou suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly looked up at Ying Chang and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister sent the appropriation document to the household department, but was refuted by the household department, saying that there was a mistake in the accounts, and the minister learned that there was a mistake in the accounts, so he immediately mobilized the Ministry of Industry to go up to the left and right waiters, down to the principal, and reviewed them all, and the result was not at fault!" ”

"The minister thought that Jia Shangshu had made a mistake, so he sent the appropriation document and the reviewed accounts to the household department, but was rejected by the household department again, and said that the accounts were wrong, and rejected twice, the minister thought that there was a problem with the officials below, so he personally reviewed it, and the result was the same as the previous two times, and the accounts were not wrong at all!"

"The minister sent someone to send the appropriation document to the household department, but it was rejected again, the minister felt that the household department was looking for fault, so he personally went to the household yamen, but the household officials blocked the door and did not let the minister in, and the left attendant of the household department, Niu Yicao, told the minister that the amount of appropriation exceeded the budget, and the minister was willing to allocate 10 million taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty also knows that the budget of the Ministry of Industry is 170 million taels of silver, which has been approved by Your Majesty and the Prime Minister of the Right Minister. scolded Jia Shangshu for relying on the old and selling the old, and then the minister wanted to enter the palace and find His Majesty to be the master! ”

"Who knew that Jia Shangshu also followed, and he also wanted to find His Majesty to call the shots, saying that the minister scolded him, and asked His Majesty to cure the minister's crime, and the minister reasoned with Jia Shangshu, who knew that Jia Shangshu was angry and beat the minister, and the minister endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but fight back, and His Majesty knew the next thing!"

After Jia Luo listened to Jiang Haiyou's words, he also looked up at Ying Chang and said: "Your Majesty, you should know that when Jiang Shangshu first entered the government seven years ago, he once said that if you want to complete the national water conservancy road project within three years, you need 160 million taels of silver!" ”

"And now that seven years have passed, it has cost 170 million taels of silver, and the minister also knows that the current general salary is 20 yuan more than seven years ago, but it will not add 10 million taels more, right? Moreover, the original national water conservancy road project also included Shangyang County, and now the water conservancy of Shangyang County has been repaired, it stands to reason that the budget should be reduced, how can it not be reduced but increased! ”

"The minister thinks that the Ministry of Industry has lied about the budget, and it is not excluded that there are rich rats in the Ministry of Industry, so I ask Your Majesty to give an order to the Ministry of Industry to investigate and deal with the Ministry of Industry and find out the money rats who lied about the budget!" After Jarrow finished speaking, he knocked his head on the ground.

When Jiang Haiyou heard this, he immediately felt uncomfortable, and immediately didn't care about Ying Chang being here, and turned his head directly to Jia Luo and scolded: "Jia Shangshu is responsible for what he says, what is a rich mouse in the Ministry of Industry, every budget of the Ministry of Industry has been inspected repeatedly, you can't knock a big hat on our Ministry of Industry because of stinginess!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Haiyou turned his head back, looked at Yingchang with an excited expression and said; "Your Majesty, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have recently gotten up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs for the national water conservancy and road projects, for the whole project, which person in the Ministry of Industry is not painstaking, hard-working, if Jia Shangshu has no investigation and no certificate, he will conduct a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that the officials of the Ministry of Industry will be cold, including the ministers!"

As he spoke, Jiang Haiyou's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and tears flashed in his eyes.
