Chapter 119: Ministry of Works
Cao Wenzhao listened to Zhu Xu's words, thinking about the consequences of the Ministry of Industry issuing a ban, and most of Caoyun would be stopped, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Your Highness, do you really want to do this?" Cao Wenzhao's throat moved, and he said with some difficulty. Once this is really done, the Cao Yun will be in chaos, and the court will definitely not sit idly by, and it will really shake the country's foundation.
There will inevitably be another uproar.
Zhu Xu's smile was a little cold, and he said, "It has been planned a long time ago." ā
Cao Wenzhao was still very worried in his heart, and said: "Your Highness, over there in the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Yingqiu may not be able to do so much alone." ā
Zhu Xu squinted and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Zhou Yingqiu will definitely do better than we expected." ā
Thinking of Zhou Yingqiu's previous means of dealing with His Royal Highness King Hui, Cao Wenzhao's heart was also relieved, and said, "It's Your Highness, I'll go." ā
After Cao Wenzhao left, Zhu Xu sat on the chair, his eyes glowed with cold light, and he said to himself for a long time: "Wei Zhongxian, should I keep you or kill you......
Zhou Yingqiu, who had just returned home from work, entered the study with a condensed face.
Mrs. Zhou got the maid's report, and hurriedly followed, looking at Zhou Yingqiu sitting at the desk, calmly speaking, and said worriedly: "Master, could it be that those people still refuse to let you go?" ā
Zhou Yingqiu raised his head and frowned at his wife, and looked at the table in a daze with a displeased face.
Soon, the maid came in with cold soup, and Mrs. Zhou walked over with it and said, "Master, let's defeat the fire first." ā
Zhou Yingqiu was not unhappy in the Ministry of Industry, with his wrist, the top and bottom were quickly leveled up, and what he was worried about was the 'Yi Decree' that had just come out of the palace.
He also knew about Caoyun, and vaguely saw that His Royal Highness King Hui was involved. But Cao Yun is very important, and since there is no command in the palace, he is also happy to watch the play. It's just that today's decree made him feel a big headache.
He finally made a comeback, and the previous things were not to blame, if he mixed with Cao Yun and joined the party struggle of the Donglin Party, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the whole body.
Zhou Yingqiu didn't have any friends now, so he groaned and told his wife about it.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Master, it seems that the queen is probably angry." You think, before the Criminal Department seized Zhang Guogong's workshop and chamber of commerce, forcing Zhang Guogong to show up. Niangniang did this, most likely to give the Donglin Party a little color. ā
Zhou Yingqiu naturally knew this, but Cao Yun was a powder keg, which had just been calmed down by Zhao Nanxing. If he really wants to do this, he will definitely involve both inside and outside the capital, and it won't take half an hour for the emperor's table to be full of folds to impeach him.
Mrs. Zhou knew Zhou Yingqiu best, she saw that Zhou Yingqiu was hesitating, her heart moved, she approached and whispered: "Master, if you are worried, push this black pot out, let the mother see your ability, and do not have to be afraid of impeachment in the court." ā
Zhou Yingqiu was stunned and said, "How to shirk it?" ā
Mrs. Zhou said: "How confused is the master, there is more than one squire in the Ministry of Industry, there is also a book on it, not to mention, as long as you find a reason to do this, just block their mouths." ā
Zhou Yingqiu's expression moved slightly, he sat there and thought about it, stood up for a long time and said, "Okay, what Madam said is a good way!" Today, I'll let my mother take a good look at my methods! ā
Mrs. Zhou nodded with a smile, feeling a little satisfied, her husband can get the favor of the 'queen mother', and the day of glory and wealth is not far away.
Zhou Yingqiu went out of the house, but did not return to the Ministry of Industry, but quietly went to the east of the city, the official Yingzhen's house.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yingqiu came out and went to Qian Qianyi's mansion again, which was also half an hour smaller.
Then Zhou Yingqiu quietly walked a few places, and in the dark, in a restaurant, he slowly drank a little wine.
Guan Yingzhen was at home, with an angry face written on his face, and he vowed not to give up.
"This official is going to uproot these moths cleanly, Zhao Nanxing, I'll see what other means you have to protect these corrupt officials this time!"
Qian Qianyi walked around the study, his fat face was full of urgency, and he kept sweating.
"What to do, what to do, Zhao Nanxing, Donglin, the queen's mother, prison ......"
It didn't take long for him to grit his teeth, spread out a fold, pick up a brush and write straight.
The lights of thousands of homes are like a long dragon, and people come and go on the street, and the sound is full of joy.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Zhong Yuzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Shunding, who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Labor, were sitting on chairs, both with solemn faces.
"Back to my lord, Mrs. Zhou said that Lord Zhou went out to meet friends and has not returned yet."
An errand officer ran in and said to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yuzheng frowned, looked at Wang Shunding and said, "Wang Shilang, what do you think of this matter?" ā
Wang Shunding was upright, and he was also angry at this moment, and stood up and said: "My lord, the Chu Party cadres have burned the fire to our Ministry of Industry, and I am afraid that the excerpt has already entered the cabinet. ā
Zhong Yuzheng has always been pure and inactive, in this big dye vat officialdom, he tried his best to protect himself, but at this moment, he couldn't help it, nodded with a calm expression, and said: "I don't know much about the things listed by Guan Yingzhen and others, I'm afraid that not only some people from my Ministry of Industry are involved, but there are also people from Caoyun Yamen who have been bought by Guan Yingzhen!" ā
Wang Shunding saw that Zhong Yuzheng didn't mention what to do, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, now that the Chu Party is directly pointing at our Ministry of Industry, if we don't deal with it, I'm afraid that the East Factory will intervene." ā
Liu Shimin is different from others, although he has some tacit understanding with the Donglin Party, but he is more loyal to the emperor, if the Ministry of Industry really neglects his duties, pretending not to hear anything, and can't see, he may really intervene directly to investigate the dereliction of duty of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhong Yu was groaning for a long time, looked up at Wang Shunding and said, "Then what do you think?" ā
Wang Shunding is upright, but he is not stupid, if he really wants to be reckless, he will go to check Caoyun, and he must be torn apart. He looked at Zhong Yuzheng and said, "My lord, if you let Lord Zhou investigate, Lord Zhou is keen and alert, or there is a way." ā
Zhong Yuzheng thought about it, looked up at him, and said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Zhou Shilang." ā
Wang Shunding agreed, walked out of the room, looked up at the sky with a cold gaze, and said to himself: "This official will borrow Zhou Yingqiu's hand to touch the melon along the vine and see how much this luck is!" ā
Zhou Yingqiu finished drinking a little wine and walked into the mansion with staggering steps.
"Master, you're back, why did you drink so much?" Mrs. Zhou helped Zhou Yingqiu with a look of concern.
Although Zhou Yingqiu drank a lot, his consciousness was very clear, and he smiled with a red smile, "Is there a document from the yamen?" ā
Mrs. Zhou was even more surprised, and said: "How does the master know, the Ministry of Industry Yamen sent people to look for you several times but did not find it, and the documents came directly not long ago." ā
Zhou Yingqiu came to the study, half lying on the chair, looking at the documents of the Ministry of Industry, squinting drunkenly, and said: "Madam, don't you know, my Lord Shangshu likes to be a shopkeeper, and it seems that he doesn't care about anything, but in fact, the Ministry of Industry is very close, and he does not allow the slightest mistake not to be in his hands." That Lord Wang, who seems to be upright, does not smile, but his means are also surprisingly powerful, he is in the Ministry of Industry, but in fact, he has no real power, but this time, uh...... It's up to them! ā
Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Yingqiu drunk, helped him and said, "Master, you drank too much, or go to sleep, and wake up tomorrow." ā
"Awake?" Zhou Yingqiu staggered to his feet and said with a smile: "You ask the housekeeper to draw up a leave of absence and send it to the Ministry of Industry, and you will say that I am sick." Don't wake me up tomorrow at the top of the day, and no one else will come. ā
Mrs. Zhou didn't know what was going on with Zhou Yingqiu, but she also knew that she couldn't ask anything at this time, so she helped him into the bedroom while agreeing.
Early the next morning, Wang Shunding came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
"Is Zhou Shilang here?" He asked the official as he put down his hat.
The official stood at the door and said, "Lord Hui, Lord Zhou is sick, and I just asked my family to send a leave of absence." ā
Wang Shunding paused, turned his head to look at him and said, "Sick? What is the disease? ā
"It is said that it is an occasional wind chill and needs to stay in bed for a few days." Ya Gong said.
Wang Shunding's face sank, where could he guess Zhou Yingqiu's thoughts, it was nothing more than knowing that there was nowhere to push, so he called himself sick and avoided.
Wang Shunding's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Come on, pass the word, just say that I and Master Zhong are sick, and all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry will be handed over to Zhou Shilang." ā
The official was stunned for a moment and said, "It's my lord." ā
"Wait," Wang Shunding held the official who was about to leave, and said in a deep voice: "Spread the news, and be sure to let everyone in the capital know." ā
The official looked at Wang Shunding and was stunned, and said, "It's my lord." ā
