Late at night.

Cabinet Signature Room.

The elders of the cabinet of Jingtai Dynasty, together with the six Shangshu, were arguing fiercely, not knowing that there was a fire gradually rising in the Ten Kings' Mansion in the west of the city.

Chen Xunfu, the new first assistant to the cabinet, took office for one day, and the second assistant has been in office for so many years, and this time he took office relatively suddenly, and the first test also came suddenly.

He sat down at the top and said:

"In Kaifeng Prefecture, the rain is rising, the crops are flooded, the people are short of food, and there is no levy for grain and grass."

"Henan supervised the imperial history Luo Cheng also played, Rongyang arrived in the Kaifeng area, the flat land and water were one zhang high, and the houses collapsed. The old wife and children, the road of the house. ”

"The flooding of the Yellow River is really harmful to the people along the river, and all of you colleagues are important ministers of the imperial court, so let's discuss how to deal with it."

Compared with his predecessor Wang Zhi, although Chen Xun is not as qualified, his prestige is not low.

After he finished speaking, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, said: "The Yellow River has been diverted again? Didn't it just repair it in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, and at that time, the household department allocated more than 2 million taels of silver, where was it used? ”

This kind of remark was brought up by Yu Qian in front of so many important ministers of the court.

But after these days of purging and renewal, now the ministers of the Jingtai Dynasty have many officials who dare to speak and do, and the new cabinet is one of them.

He should focus on Yu Qian and said: "The Ministry of Industry has always been responsible for repairing the river embankment, and the Ministry of Industry should also be responsible for the thirteenth year of orthodoxy. ”

Da Sikong is the elegant name for the Ministry of Industry today, and when Shang Shi mentions it in this tone, not only does he not have a sense of respect, but it sounds very harsh.

Jiang Yuan, the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has long been a member of the cabinet, and has been an official in the court for many years, but now he is being questioned by a junior and how to be convinced.

He said: "Who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, who should be asked, how can the Ministry know all about this kind of thing? ”

This is really an offending word, but Shang Yu reluctantly sneered: "Da Sikong is the chief of the Ministry of Industry, but I don't know that since Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, repairing the river embankment is a big deal?" ”

"I don't know about such a big thing, how did you do this Ministry of Works, the court spends money to support you, are you eating dry rice!"

Jiang Yuan got up angrily and reprimanded angrily: "Business! In terms of seniority, it's not your turn to be a junior who has just entered the cabinet for less than a year, and the junior will insult me in the palace! ”

"Apologies! I ask you to apologize to the Ministry! ”

"What you are insulting now is not the reputation of one person in the Ministry of Works, but the reputation of my entire Ministry of Works!"

"In the long run, everyone will follow suit, and as soon as there is a past, they will be held accountable, and many ministers of the Ministry of Industry will be held accountable, so how can they deal with themselves?"

On the side, Hu Hu also felt that this move was very inappropriate.

After all, Jiang Yuan is a veteran minister, so it is reasonable, and it should not be you a fledgling businessman who was promoted to the cabinet to teach a lesson.

If it's all messed up like this, won't it be messed up?

Hu Hu prides himself on being the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although he sometimes has to support the emperor unconditionally, but he is still sloppy in the ethics of the imperial court.

What's more, Shang Shi was able to enter the cabinet because of the relationship between Chen Xun, the current head of the cabinet, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and he has nothing to do with him.

Even the emperor didn't want to see the ministers in unison.

Thinking of this, Hu Hu looked at Shang Zhen and said: "The thirteenth year of the Orthodox flood is the responsibility of the former Ministry of Industry Shang Shushi, and it is normal for the tall man to not know." ”

"Merchants, you can step down."

Shang Zhen looked at the minister of rites in front of him and sneered: "Normal, if this is normal, there will be nothing abnormal in the sky!" ”

Yu Qian frowned, he liked Shang Chen's strength of not being afraid of power, but he didn't come to quarrel today, it was really good for him to get into trouble with Gao Gu.

Shang Zhen is a good seedling, and it shouldn't be folded so early.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian stared at Shang Chen tightly, thinking that after the matter was agreed, he should find a time to talk to him and persuade him to restrain his heart, not to be so sharp.

If it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later!

Of course, with Yu Qian's current attention, it is easy for people to gossip about a single person, and it is said that it is a party for personal gain.

Yu Qian is not unaware that now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are many people who impeach him.

But as for why there is no rumor about it in the Qianqing Palace, it can only be related to the current Jingtai Emperor.

Yu Qian is not afraid of this, he is just anxious about this good seedling, if Daming loses this seedling in the future, it will be a great loss.

Even if he knew that he was going to be accused of forming a party for personal gain, he still had to talk to a businessman.

Yu Qian then stepped forward to stop the quarrel between the two, and said: "Your Majesty asked us to come here to discuss how to control the floods of the Yellow River and relieve the victims, not to let you quarrel and make trouble!" ”

"If you want to quarrel, after this matter is agreed, go out and make a noise about him, no one cares about you!"

Since Chen Xun became the first assistant, his heart has also been retracted a lot, involving his protégé, in the past, he had to come forward to say a word, but now it is until now, he is watching coldly.

Seeing that Yu Qian had made a comeback, he said with a kind face: "Shang, what Hu Butang said is right, after all, Lord Gao has been an official in the court for many years, even if he does something wrong, he shouldn't be so confrontational." ”

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and he was about to refute.

What did you do as the head of the cabinet, you can't do it, don't do it!

It's better not to say this talk, how to pull the shelf?

However, before he could speak, Chen Xun turned his gaze and continued: "Lord Gao, you are the great master of the imperial court, so don't be like these juniors!" ”

Good guy, one sentence blocked Takaya to his mouth and scolded back.

Good words and words are all over the place!

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to snort coldly and stop talking, and Shang Yuan had to give his teacher this face, and he also stood back with a sneer on his face.

After discussing for a long time, seeing that the sky was getting dark, everyone was on the right track, but before they could discuss a few serious words, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The Emperor is coming!

Everyone was surprised, and then they all turned around and shouted long live.

Zhu Di walked in with a smile, helped Chen Xun up, and sat down in the first place instead, asking, "How did you Aiqing discuss?" ”

"After I finished reading the recital, I thought about taking a look."

Hearing this, the six ministers of these imperial courts all looked at each other.

Zhu Di had been eavesdropping outside for a while just now, and he didn't continue to ask questions now, but suddenly said: "I just heard from you that this is a problem that has fallen in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy?" ”

"What's going on?"

Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the Kaifeng Mansion, the flood in Henan this time is the diversion of the Yellow River. ”

"In the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, the Yellow River embankment was repaired once by the decree of the demon queen Sun clan. The matter was presided over by the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Shi Pu..."

"Shi Pu, I know him!" Zhu Di smiled in his heart.

It can really be said that the road is narrow, when I went to visit the orphans of the four guards of the government army, Zhu Di was really angry, so the descendants of the veterans of Jingnan who treated me like this, let them live in that kind of place.

At that time, in order to calm people's hearts and also to govern benevolently, Zhu Di let Shi Pu go, and now that this thing has happened again, how can I tolerate him?

So, he said coldly: "I ordered Tiqi to leave Beijing immediately, arrest Shi Pu and return to Beijing, and interrogate about the repair of the Yellow River in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy!" ”

"I'm going to ask him how he can tell the victims of the Yellow River floods!"
