Chapter 447: Worried

Master of Ceremonies.

A six-rank eunuch rushed in: "Godfather, godfather." ”

Chen Hong was bored looking at the excerpts in the Xiyuan ceremonial supervisor's duty room, while Huang Jin was lazily leaning back on the chair and pretending to sleep, just had lunch, the weather was hot, and everyone couldn't lift their spirits.

Hearing the eunuch's panicked scream, Chen Hong's heart sank and he raised his head.

And Huang Jin, who was sleeping on the chair, also opened his misty eyes.

It felt very bad to be disturbed from his nap, Huang Jin's face was ugly, and he was about to scold.

Chen Hong had already thrown a fold out, and was about to hit the eunuch's head. He scolded in a low voice: "Death, didn't you see that your godfather was taking a nap?" He is an old man who works for state affairs, and it is rare to have such a free time, but you come to disturb him. ”

"What's going on?" Huang Jin sat up straight and asked majestically.

The eunuch pounced and knelt on the ground: "Son should die, son should die, disturbed godfather's lunch break." In fact, the son didn't dare to come over to wake up his godfather, really, His Majesty has a decree to ask his godfather to go over the Yuxi Palace to discuss the matter. ”

"Oh." Huang Jin rubbed his eyes, his long nails bounced out a small grain of eye droppings, and his nails made a crisp sound in the room.

Chen Hong took the fold handed over by the eunuch flatteringly, and asked, "Your Majesty invited your godfather over, what was the matter discussed, and who else was passed on?" ”

The eunuch replied: "Back to Godfather and Father-in-law Chen, Your Majesty also invited the eunuch Bi Yunbi Father-in-law, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, and the four cabinet ministers, and now, they have all arrived, just wait for the godfather to pass." It is said that it is a matter of discussing the Huai'an flood. ”

"Oh." Huang Jin's head was still a little numb, and he didn't realize anything.

But Chen Hong is such a clever person, and he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the taste. Immediately stood up and asked in a low voice: "Big water?" The left and right are just to help the victims, so can they invite all the ministers and cabinet members over? Let me ask you, before this, who else did Your Majesty meet, and what folds did you see? ”

When the eunuch heard Chen Hong ask, he remembered something and said busily: "If Father-in-law Chen didn't ask, I would have forgotten." Someone had seen that a six-hundred-mile expedited was sent from Huainan before, but it was strange that this excerpt went directly to His Majesty without going through the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor. ”

Huang Jin suddenly took a breath of cold air and straightened his waist from the chair: "Dense folding? ”

Chen Hong nodded: "Godfather, if you don't go through the cabinet, it must be a secret fold." He turned to the eunuch and said, "Go on." ”

The eunuch said: "As soon as the excerpt arrived at the Banzai Lord, His Majesty summoned all the cabinet members and the prime minister to meet him, saying that he wanted to discuss the disaster relief and was going to send a commissioner to the south to preside over the overall situation. ”

"Let's go down." Chen Hong waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, and said to Huang Jin with a serious face: "Godfather, let's go to Yuxi Palace?" ”

Huang Jin didn't say anything, and asked Chen Hong instead: "Hong'er, who do you think handed over this fold, and what did it say?" ”

Since Huang Jin asked so, Chen Hong had no choice but to reply: "Now, there is only Sun Dan in Huainan who has the power to fold and play, it should be his fold, and he used six hundred miles to expedite, who else can he be?" He went to Huainan this time, nominally to preside over the inspection of Nanzhili's academic administration, but in fact he went to make trouble for Wang Shu. This excerpt ...... According to the son, it is nothing more than using this flood to impeach the king. Godfather doesn't need to worry, it's not a big deal. ”

"No, no, no, it's not Sun Dan, although Sun Monkey is insidious, he can't do anything meaningless like impeaching Wang Shu. If you are about to impeach the excerpt, only two imperial envoys are enough, can you use such a big deal of trouble? Huang Jin sneered: "Sun Monkey is a famous man, self-respecting reputation, and will never do that kind of thing that directly conflicts with people, even if he wants to do it, he is doing it behind his back." Therefore, our family feels that this excerpt is not on him. ”

Huang Jin's words made Chen Hong a little speechless: "So, godfather, who is on this excerpt?" ”

"Xia Yan, it must be him, he is the prime minister of Nanhe, and he has the power to fold." Huang Jin said with certainty: "Besides, Sun Monkey recommended him to be the prime minister, thinking that he would replace Wang Shu." In the future, the three sections of the river will be combined into one, and the governor of the river will be set up in the second grade. The eyes are red, the second-grade master, the power is equivalent to the feudal official, the eyes are red. How could he Xia Yan not be moved, as long as he brought down Wang Shu, he would have a chance. ”

"What the godfather said is that Xia Yan should have done it."

"So, what do you think Xia Yan's secret compromise will say?" Huang Jin patted the armrest of the chair in annoyance: "Damn, it's a pity that the East Factory is not in our hands now." Otherwise, I would have known what the excerpt was talking about. ”

Chen Hong had already guessed the content of Xia Yan's excerpt from eight to ten, but he wouldn't say it to Huang Jin. This matter was revealed by him, and in this way, Sun Dan went south. At this time, it is natural to try to dispel Huang Jin's doubts.

Chen Hong said with a smile: "Godfather, my son is not clairvoyant, how can he know what is said inside." However, according to his son's speculation, Xia Yan's excerpt is nothing more than the impeachment of Lord Wang for abandoning government affairs, and this flood should bear a certain amount of responsibility. This is also the habit of civil officials and speech officials, once there is something in the court, they will hear about it, regardless of 3721, impeachment first. ”

Huang Jin was worried: "Hong'er, I'm afraid that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface." ”

"Please also ask my godfather to make it clear."

Wrinkles appeared on Huang Jinchou's forehead: "Wang Shu is known to our family, he likes money, and he has worked in the river for so many years, so it is inevitable that there will be some problems." I'm afraid that someone will find fault......" He paused and asked, "Hong'er, how much silver did Wang Shu send over last month?" ”

Chen Hong replied: "There are about 400,000 taels, and because the godfather didn't care, his son took it upon himself to send 100,000 taels to Concubine Zhang, and the other 300,000 taels were stored in 6 money houses." As he spoke, he took out a large stack of money tickets and handed them over, all of which were large amounts of 1,000 taels of money tickets.

Huang Jin jumped up from his chair in shock: "Last month, the imperial court got 600,000 taels of taxes from Fangshan, all of which were allocated to the Nanhe River for repairing the Suining River embankment. This Wang Shu deducted 400,000 yuan from it with a single word, and he must have kept some of it on hand. That...... The river embankment ......" Huang Jin's face suddenly turned pale.

Chen Hong saw Huang Jin frightened like that, and his heart was happy. Holding back a smile, he pretended to be heavy and nodded: "It seems that the embankment in Suining is tofu scum at all, but I'm afraid it's not as good as tofu dregs." Godfather, this matter is a little bad."

Huang Jin's voice was a little dry: "In the past two years, during the New Year's holidays, Wang Shu and Gan Bida have sent filial piety. The annual ice and charcoal fire are not a small number. If this matter is turned out by someone with a heart, not only our family, but even Concubine Zhang will fall into it. Our family doesn't have much money to count, Hong'er, tell me, in the past two years, how much silver has Wang Shuyi sent over, can there be accounting? ”

Chen Hong: "From the year of Jiajing to the present, more than 2 million taels have been sent over from the Nanhe River. Among them, Concubine Zhang's side has more than 800,000 yuan, and her godfather has more than 1 million, all of which can be checked. ”

"So much, why does our family have so much money now?" Huang Jin is a very greedy person, but when he heard that he had a huge net worth, he didn't feel the slightest joy, but was a little scared. He patted the armrest of the chair: "This Wang Shuzhen is really bold, the imperial court only sends two million taels of river silver every year, and he deducts more than half of it, this person has lost his mind and gone crazy in order to be the governor of the river, he should be killed, and the three clans should be punished." And that Gambida, he must have gained a lot of benefits, if our family sees him, we have to kill him with a cane. ”

Huang Jin was shocked and angry, and unconsciously put his hatred on Wang Shu and Gan Bida's heads, but he didn't want to, ninety percent of the embezzled river silver fell into his hands: "Damn, our family doesn't care much about money, I heard that he has filial piety, but what he thinks about is just a little bit of his heart, and it's not easy to refute his face, so let Chen Hong take it." But they didn't want to do such a hurtful thing. ”

Chen Hong knelt down silently: "Godfather, it's my son's fault, my son sees that his godfather has a hard life every day, as long as he collects money, it will cause a lot of trouble to your old man." ”

Huang Jin stood up, assisted his right-hand man, and sighed: "I don't have to blame you for this matter, it's also that our family didn't make it clear to you at that time." A little bit of the foreign official's heart can be collected, but it doesn't mean that all the money is needed. Well, it doesn't make much sense to talk about that now. Now, now Xia Yan's secret fold has dug up all the things in Nanhe, but there is some trouble, you say, what should we do now? ”

Chen Hong thought for a while and said, "Godfather, Wang Shu and Gan Bida's greed for ink river silver is just Xia Yan's words. Now, for the imperial court, it is not only a time to be held accountable. The most important thing is to provide relief to the victims. According to his son's opinion, the imperial court will definitely send a large official to the south to preside over the overall situation. Although Sun Dan's prestige is extremely high, his grade is not enough, and he cannot command a number of local officials in Nanzhili. Therefore, the greatest possibility is that the imperial court will send a cabinet member. While providing disaster relief, he investigated Wang Shu and Ganbida. ”

Nowadays, Huai'an is unprecedentedly flooded, and according to the rules of the imperial court, at least one cabinet minister is sent to deal with related affairs.

"Reasonable, what you say is very true. So, who exactly will be sent? ”

Chen Hong said: "Among the four major pavilions, Yang Tinghe is the auxiliary, and he definitely can't go." Mao Ji hadn't cleared up the matter with King Jiang Hua at the beginning, and he couldn't go. As for Jiang Mian, he is too old to withstand the toss and can't go. Then, only Yang Yiqing is left. Yang Xiangnai is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, with a strong body and high prestige, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate. ”

"Yes, it's definitely him." Huang Jin had a headache: "The people in the cabinet hate me, and Yang Yiqing can't afford to look down on our family." When he goes to Huainan at this moment, he will definitely do everything possible to set up a condom for our family. No, you can't let him go. ”

"But if he doesn't go, there won't be a suitable candidate." Chen Hong smiled secretly: Don't talk about Yang Yiqing, even if you change someone else, you have to find trouble for Huang Jin.

"Well, that's a problem, otherwise, let's arrange for two deputy envoys to follow him and keep an eye on him. Chen Hong, is there a suitable candidate? Huang Jin asked.

Chen Hong: "There is a suitable person available. ”

"Who?"

"Zhang Xuan."
