Chapter 442: Tricked
After the three of them reached an agreement, they calmed down and waited to see what happened.
The current situation is that the enemy will not move, I will not move, since the emperor is doing this strangely, he may not know what to do.
As long as there is any rash move, it may fall into the emperor's routine.
Sure enough, just after the second day, Wynne arrived.
"Two adults, the emperor asked our family to ask, how is the discussion?"
Cao Nai put on a lukewarm appearance and said: "Father-in-law Huai, you should know that the emperor's tour is the top priority of the imperial court, and it must be treated with caution!" ”
With a smile on his face, Wynne said, "You should be cautious, but ...... You have to hurry up, otherwise Qiqi Ke in Mobei will be in a hurry......"
"Just let her wait!"
At this time, Zhang Yi came over and said: "No matter where the emperor inspects the world, he has to go through such a process, why does Mo Beiwei have to be treated specially?" ”
The two cooperated very tacitly, and the opening was preemptive, leaving Wynne with nothing to say.
Where is Wynne's opponent for the two of them, he was defeated in a confrontation, and said stupidly: "Our family is just here to ask, there is no other meaning." ”
Cao Nai and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, and a victor's smile appeared on their faces.
"This matter is not so simple, in addition to the Ministry of Rites, it also involves the five major yamen of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment, which must be discussed one by one before it can be decided."
Wynne was puzzled: "Why do you need so many yamen?" ”
Cao Nai's face was calm, and he said: "The emperor is on patrol, safety is the top priority, in case there is an anti-thief and rebellious party plotting against him, what should I do if I ambush the emperor on the way out on patrol in advance?" The military department should be prepared in advance to deal with any contingencies, as the so-called preparedness is the case. ”
After hearing this, Huaien scratched his head and said, "The Ministry of War mobilizes soldiers and horses and prepares, our family can understand, but what about the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment?" ”
Zhang Yi chuckled lightly and said, "The emperor went out on patrol, relying on the team, the guards, as well as the accompanying horsemen and miscellaneous servants...... Count at least hundreds of people, and mobilize troops and horses in advance in case of contingencies, such a large expenditure, if the household department does not give an appropriation, you let everyone drink the northwest wind? ”
Wynne forced out a smile and asked again, "Ministry of Works, Ministry of Officials, and Ministry of Punishment...... It shouldn't matter much, right? ”
"Why not?"
Zhang Yi shook his head and continued: "The emperor went to Mobei, whether it depends on whether the implementation of the new policy is smooth, and the imperial court spends money to build workshops, repair roads and bridges...... How well these projects are completed, and whether they have cut corners, all need to be verified by the Ministry of Industry. ”
"As for the role of the officials, it is even more important, whether the official assessment reported by Mobeiwei every year is reasonable, whether there is fraud, what is the feedback of the local people to the officials, whether there are any wrongs or falsehoods, and whether the measures issued by the imperial court are implemented in place, this is a major national event!"
"There is also the Criminal Department, which ...... for local criminal prisons"
"Alright, alright!"
Wynne hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Our family understands, this matter needs to be discussed by the cabinet and the six ministries, but it's just ...... I wonder when the verdict will be reached? ”
Zhang Yi's tone was very unpolite, and he said, "It's hard to say!" ”
"In that case, then...... Let's go back to our lives first. ”
Wynne knew that he would definitely not be able to ask anything today, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
Zhang Yi and Cao Nai arched their hands perfunctorily: "Don't send it!" ”
After a while, Cao Nai asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving?" ”
Zhang Yi came to the door, looked out, turned around and said, "Let's go!" ”
The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and for some reason, there was a faint feeling of being a thief.
Zhang Yi sighed and said, "I'm so difficult, and if the emperor knows about it, I will definitely be dissatisfied......"
Cao Nai glanced at him and said helplessly: "Before you find out the emperor's true intentions, you can only do this, otherwise, when something happens, it will be difficult to control." ”
Zhang Yi asked again: "But I don't know what routine the emperor is playing?" ”
Cao Nai suddenly looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head, and then said: "The most difficult road that the old man has walked in his life is the emperor's routine......"
Early the next morning, Wynne came again.
Cao Nai and Zhang Yi had already prepared and had already made an appointment with Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War to come to the meeting.
This posture seems to be telling Wynne, look, we are already advancing, are you still embarrassed to urge?
Wynne knew, of course, that he just said a few polite words and left.
For several days after that, every time Wynne came over, he saw that the chief officials of the six departments were discussing here.
In fact, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi are also waiting.
They deliberately slowed down the progress, just waiting for the emperor to lose his breath and take the initiative to reveal the intention chart.
Only when the emperor's true thoughts are clear can he prescribe the right medicine.
Otherwise, I accidentally fell into the emperor's routine again.
After seven or eight days like this, Huaien came to show his face every morning, but he didn't say much and ask more, as if he had come to Wenyuan Pavilion to order something.
This situation made Cao Nai and Zhang Yi more and more uncomplacent.
"How do I feel that the situation is wrong......"
Looking at Huai'en's distant back, a thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Yi's heart, and he immediately frowned.
Cao Nai asked, "What did you find?" ”
Zhang Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "The emperor hasn't been to the court for a few days?" ”
Cao Nai thought for a moment and replied, "It's been about three days." ”
The current early dynasty has been changed, and it is divided into the Shuowang dynasty and the Chang dynasty.
Shuowang Dynasty refers to the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and all officials above the fourth grade of the Beijing division must participate, and on such an important occasion, Zhu Qizhen will definitely show up.
However, it is difficult to say about the daily dynasty.
When you're in a good mood, you come to show your face, which you can't see on weekdays.
Three days ago, it was the big court meeting on November 15, and hundreds of officials gathered, and Zhu Qizhen was also present.
Cao Nai remembered clearly that it was because he had been worried that the emperor would ask about the tour at the court meeting, after all, it had been delayed for so long, and there was no explanation so far, so he was a little reluctant to go.
However, Zhu Qizhen did not mention this matter, as if he had forgotten it.
Zhang Yi shook his head and sighed, and said, "It's not good, the emperor wants to be angry!" ”
Cao Nai was puzzled: "What did you say?" ”
Zhang Yi was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "We've been tricked!" ”
Cao Nai was startled, and seemed to have thought of something.
"Could it be that the emperor's decree is deliberately waiting to be rejected by us?"
"As it should be!"
Cao Nai couldn't sit still anymore, got up and said, "Most of them are useless, go and see the driver quickly!" ”
"Let's go!"
The two came to the imperial study, but when they saw the door open, they suddenly had questions in their hearts.
Could it be ...... Guessed wrong?
Zhang Yi asked, "Are you still going?" ”
Cao Nai understood that if the emperor didn't leave, he would come to the door recklessly, and he had to have an explanation.
At least in the matter of going on patrol, it can no longer be delayed, and an explanation must be given.
