Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Dispute Between the Court

Cao Yu walked out of the team with the board in his hand and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the floods spread all over the 12 southern provinces, among which the north and south of the lake were the most severely affected. The floods are flooding the fields, and the people are starving. If it is left unchecked, how can the people not cause a plague if they starve to death on the streets and expose their corpses to the wilderness? According to the minister's opinion, disaster relief is epidemic prevention, and he begged the emperor to order the opening of the warehouse to release grain to save the people from fire and water. ”

Zheng Renqian, who was invited at the front of the team, turned his face into the color of pig liver, a small outsider, daring to challenge his authority as prime minister? But he saw that the emperor nodded again and again, obviously Cao Yu was talking about his heart.

Zheng Renqian's eyes rolled and he spoke again, "Your Majesty, the two provinces in the north and south of the lake have been flooded for many years, and the minister thinks that this flood is not surprising, and the local government will definitely deal with this matter." ”

"Zheng Renqian, the people begging for food have flocked to the capital, are you blind or deaf!" Zhao Zheng looked at each other coldly, and his body was imposing, "The governors of the north and south provinces of the lake sent reinforcements half a month ago, and Prime Minister Zheng opened his eyes and said nonsense, is he worthy of the black gauze hat on his head?" ”

"Your Majesty, what Weichen saw was only the beggars in the capital, not the exiled victims, what the prince said still needs to be verified." Zheng Renqian returned to his usual serious appearance, and did not blush at all when he spoke without conscience.

Didn't he really know that the north and south of the lake were badly affected? He knows. It's just that since he sat on the position of prime minister, what he has done successfully is to use his power to make money, and then dedicate the silver to the crown prince to protect his position as prime minister. If the warehouse is really opened to release grain, I am afraid that the warehouse can only release the northwest wind, and not half a grain of grain.

The court is divided into two factions, like the two sides on the chessboard.

Zuo Qiansi's ministry is Zheng Renqian's subordinate, and now there is Cao Yu, a "traitor", Ma Juren wants to wait for the next court, and there is Cao Yu's good fruit to eat, so he might as well show it.

So he walked out with the board, "Your Majesty, Cao Yuanwailang has not been in office for a long time, and his qualifications are still shallow. In the opinion of the minister, Lord Zheng is right, there is no need to be afraid of floods. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

As soon as Ma Juren's words came out, many *** people stood up to support Zheng Renqian.

Seeing that the emperor was about to make a decision, Cao Yu suddenly knelt on his knees, and kowtowed to the board with his hand, "Your Majesty, I guess you don't want to be a faint monarch who is scolded by the people, and the minister begs to open a warehouse and release grain!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zheng Renqian roared, "You are threatening the emperor, come and take down Cao Yuanwailang!" ”

After speaking, a group of soldiers rushed in, picked up Cao Yu and was about to go out.

"Stop."

The emperor on the dragon chair shouted back from the soldiers, "I think that what Cao Aiqing said is not bad, although he is a newcomer, he has unique opinions. Prime Minister Zheng, open the warehouse and release grain. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zheng Renqian agreed, but his eyes when he looked at Cao Yu were full of fierceness.

Cao Yu pushed back into the team and did not say anything again until the end of the early dynasty.

When he went down, Zhao Zheng stopped Cao Yu, "I didn't expect you kid to be quite good at using your strength." ”

Cao Yu didn't smile, "The prince praises falsely, and the wisdom of the minister is less than one-ten-thousandth of the prince's." ”

"Hahaha, that's good!"

Zhao Zheng then glanced at Zhang Ze who was following behind him, waved his hand and said, "Master Zhang, you have regressed." ”

"The prince taught me a lesson."

Zhang Ze and Cao Yu bowed until Zhao Zheng walked away.

Then Cao Yu also went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Ze stared at his upright back, and the mystery in his heart became thicker and thicker, he felt that Cao Yu now was no longer the Cao Yu who talked to him in the county school and had no scheming.

Ma Juren walked back and forth in the house, he couldn't figure out why he suddenly moved to the left, he glared at Cheng Kun, who was standing on the side and hunched over, and sat back on the chair.

His eyes were fixed on the few books on the table, and he reached out and picked up a book that had been pressed on the folds that had been spread out.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Qiansi picked up the fold, squinted at the contents inside, his hands tightly grasped both sides of the fold, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Cheng Kun looked at Zuo Qiansi's appearance, a fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he raised his sleeves in a panic, wiped his sweat secretly, and stood in place uneasily, he only felt that his legs were weak.

"Cheng Kun! You're just an idiot! Zuo Qiansi strode up to Cheng Kun with the fold and smashed it on Cheng Kun's face.

Cheng Kun's body couldn't stop shaking, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Thinking about the left is all the fault of contemptible people, and I beg to lift people to dissipate their anger." He curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

Zuo Qiansi stared at the person kneeling on the ground with angry eyes, he kicked the corner on Cheng Kun's shoulder, Cheng Kun's body fell to the ground unsteadily, and immediately climbed back, his head tightly pressed against the palm of his hand.

"Degassing? How do you make me angry! He bent down and grabbed Cheng Kun's collar, Cheng Kun raised his face, his eyes full of fear, "Contemptible, contemptible, contemptible know that it is wrong." ”

Zuo Qiansi grabbed the back of his neck hard, "Mistaken? I think you want to send my Zuo family to death! ”

"No, no, I don't dare."

"Don't you dare?" He picked up the piece of music from the ground and threw it in front of Cheng Kun, "You give me a good look at what you wrote on this long broken song!" ”

"Full of nonsense, nonsense! Fortunately, Cao Li prepared a fold for me in advance, otherwise I would have to lose my head if I handed it in! ”

After Cheng Kun, who was crawling on the ground, listened, his body trembled even more, he grabbed Zuo Qiansi's trouser leg and was kicked away by Ma Zuo Qiansi.

Then Cao Yu also went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Ze stared at his upright back, and the mystery in his heart became thicker and thicker, he felt that Cao Yu now was no longer the Cao Yu who talked to him in the county school and had no scheming.
