Although Ye Tianhuai knew that Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai had a strong fight some time ago, he didn't know that Chen Yuansi went to see Gu Shihai.

"What is Elder Chen going to do with Elder Gu Ge?" Ye Qianhuai couldn't help asking.

Chen Jinzhou shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know. Listening to the servant, my father couldn't even enter the door of the Gu Mansion, so he was sent back by the subordinates of the Gu Mansion. As soon as my father came back, he locked himself in the study, and he didn't see anyone, and finally when the eldest mother went to the study to deliver food in the evening, he found that his father had drawn up a resignation, and the person had already fainted on the desk. ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said to Ye: "Your Majesty, although Weichen is just a soft-spoken Shaofu Shaoqing, he should not discuss national affairs in vain. But my father's thoughts about the court over the years, Weichen, the son, is always in his eyes. His loyalty to the court and to His Majesty is definitely a testament to the sun and the moon. If it weren't for the fact that he was too sick to get out of bed, my father would have died of exhaustion and would have died next to the public case. ”

He said very aggrieved, which can be described as sad for those who heard it, and wept for those who listened.

Thinking of Chen Yuansi's pitiful appearance lying on the hospital bed, he completely lost the posture of not being angry and arrogant in the court, like an ordinary old man in his twilight years.

He's sixty-seven years old after all. Ye Tianhuai sighed silently, and a little compassion was born in his heart.

"Chen Ge's old fist's heart, I understand it in my heart. Gu Ge Lao has indeed gone too far in this matter, I must have said him. You take care of your dad with peace of mind. When he woke up, tell him on my behalf that Mo was talking about resignation, he was the head of the cabinet, and I and the courtiers were waiting for him to come back. Ye Qianhuai comforted.

Before leaving, Ye Qianhuai also left a imperial doctor in the Chen Mansion to treat Chen Yuansi's wind and cold.

As soon as the emperor and his party left, the gate of Chen's mansion was tightly closed.

Chen Jinzhou cleaned up the traces of crying on his face, walked into Chen Yuansi's room quickly, and closed the door.

"Father." Chen Jinzhou walked to the side of the bed and said respectfully.

Chen Yuansi, who was on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes, squinted at him, and asked, "Gone?" ”

"Gone. I told Your Majesty what you taught. Chen Jinzhou replied.

Chen Yuansi's cold gaze paused on him, and then slowly retracted it. He looked at the curtain above his head and sighed, his face solemn.

"Dad, what should I do next?" Chen Jinzhou asked.

"Wait." Chen Yuan thought. His eyes were clear, and he did not look like a seriously ill man.

Chen Jinzhou was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that his father didn't mean to say anything further, he asked again, "What are you waiting for?" ”

"Wait for Gu Shihai to come to the door."

——

Speaking of the emperor's side.

Ye Tianhuai carefully recalled what he saw and heard in the Chen Mansion today on the car back to the palace.

According to Chen Jinzhou, Chen Yuansi fell ill this time because he ate a closed door at Gu Shihai's place.

Contacting the resignation letter he gave to Ye Tianhuai, it seemed that he had learned about the progress of the investigation of the Criminal Department, and knew that the Criminal Department was going to submit Chen Xueshen's matter to the Imperial Court, so he hurriedly went to Gu Shihai and wanted to stop the matter.

As a result, I didn't expect to even see Gu Shihai's face.

With Chen Yuansi's sensitive sense of smell, he must have felt that Gu Shihai dared to do this because he had the emperor's tacit approval.

That's why he said in his resignation that he felt that the emperor was close to the villain, which made him disheartened and wanted to resign.

Chen Yuansi resigned from his illness this time, and the real depression was not on Ye Tianhuai, but on Gu Shihai.

So, as soon as Ye Tianhuai returned to the palace, he passed Gu Shihai into the palace and asked him what was going on.

Gu Shihai didn't mean to be weak at all, and replied: "Chen Ge Lao has been to our mansion twice before because of the Cangchang case, but the impact of this case is too great, Your Majesty has instructed to investigate it thoroughly, and the minister did not dare to cover up, so he rejected Chen Ge Lao. Since the minister can't talk to him, it's better not to see him, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

Ye Tianhuai expected that Chen Yuansi would visit Gu Mansion because of the case in Cangchang, but he didn't expect Gu Shihai's reply to be so blunt.

"Anyway, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the two of you work together in the cabinet, so it's a bit too late to see each other behind closed doors." Ye Qianhuai persuaded.

Gu Shihai didn't answer, but asked: "Your Majesty, the case file of the warehouse has been submitted for half a month, why is it still not sent?" ”

Since Chen Yuansi took leave and resigned, Ye Tianhuai has become cautious about this case.

At present, the Beidi army is the most taboo at this time, and the situation is turbulent.

She originally wanted to wait for the war to end, and then free up her hands to deal with Chen Xueshen's case. Clinker, Chen Yuansi saw her thoughts, and actually made trouble at this time.

Gu Shihai saw Ye Qianhuai's hesitation, and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not in charge of the household department and the Ministry of Industry, the minister, as the second assistant of the cabinet, also has the position of supervising and leading hundreds of officials. The minister thought that with Yu Jianghui's ability, he was not enough to serve as the secretary of the household department and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. ”

Ye Qianhuai was stunned for a moment.

There are six departments in Dajing, and the number of ministers in several households is the largest, and the number of departments is also the largest. And the household department is in charge of money, grain, taxes, and currency, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire country.

Yu Jianghui was promoted by Chen Yuansi after he was promoted to the first assistant, and he sat in this position for four years, but it was as if he had never been a household secretary. In the past four years, no matter what happened to the household department, he basically skipped him and asked Chen Yuansi directly.

It can be said that his corpse is obvious to the entire court.

However, although the entire court was dissatisfied with him, no one dared to point it out.

Because behind him stood Chen Yuansi.

At this moment, Gu Shihai brought up this matter, and Ye Tianhuai immediately felt his aggression.

After Chen Yuansi's resignation was handed over for so long, Gu Shihai was finally about to make a move.

"If Yu Jianghui is not competent, who does Gu Ge think is competent?" Ye Qianhuai asked tentatively.

Gu Shihai bowed for a long time and said, "Lin Yuxiu, the waiter of the Criminal Department." This person has the ambition to innovate, and it is a pity to be a servant of the criminal department, if he is appointed to the household department, he can also display his talents. The cases he was in charge of in the Criminal Department had all been closed a few days ago, and Du Zhengen was only three days away from his execution. Therefore, the minister recommended this person to serve as the secretary of the household department. ”

Ye Qianhuai frowned.

Gu Shihai wanted to take this opportunity to push Lin Yuxiu away from his criminal department, and also make Chen Yuansi's household department unpeaceful.

For him, it was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that the household department is not as good as the criminal department, and in the days when Chen Yuansi was away, Ye Tianhuai has already felt that the affairs of the household department are cumbersome and complicated, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can get started.

If Lin Yuxiu was thrown over rashly, he would not be able to sort it out for a while.

And the war at the front will not give him time to respite.

Ye Tianhuai shook his head and said, "He is still young. The position of the head of the household department is related to the people's livelihood and national fortune, and it is not used to train people. ”
