The news that Xiao Yu suddenly launched a counterattack against Da Rong spread wildly in Daqi, and everyone suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

That's Xiao Yu, that's His Royal Highness King Chen, since the prince wants to fight, there must be a certain degree of certainty.

Now that the yamen has been opened, the cabinet is suddenly in a mess, making all kinds of decisions every day for the war on the border, and then being obstructed by various reasons.

For example, in the current matter of requisitioning grain, three of the six members of the cabinet oppose the transfer of grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Last year's Dragon Boat Festival flood, ten percent of the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang flooded sixty percent, the original grain storage was very tight, at this time the spring seedlings have not been planted, the people have no food in their hands, if there is a peach blossom flood, the people still want to live?

At that time, the prince of the border pass will still be fine, and there will be chaos inside."

"Joke, last year's Dragon Boat Festival Flood, eighteen embankments broke ten, how many things are there in your Ministry of Industry, Your Highness will not investigate it, do you really expose this matter?

Besides, in the second half of last year, the cabinet approved a large sum of money for you to build aqueducts and embankments, if there can be an accident in this year's Peach Blossom Flood, what kind of face should your Ministry of Industry have to face the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

"We're just thinking about the people, and besides, even if there is no flood, what if there is a drought? You haven't forgotten the drought of the previous year! At that time, it will be the household department that will be anxious, but I will not be alone."

"What is for the people, not for your hometown!"

「……」

Listening to the other people's endless arguing, Xie Yuncang couldn't help but pinch his brows, revealing a somewhat irritated expression.

"Elder Ge, what do you think about this?"

Xie Yuncang raised his head and found that the person who asked him was Fang Congwen, in terms of seniority, he was the last to enter the cabinet, and he was also the last, but Fang Congwen had a good relationship with the old lady of the Xie family, strictly speaking, he was still his elder.

Xie Yuncang naturally wouldn't hold it up in front of him, but now he was talking about things related to the lives of the people in the world, and Xie Yuncang didn't have so much heart to care about the relationship etiquette.

"Compile everyone's opinions into a book, and I will report them to Your Highness."

Hearing this, the crowd stopped arguing and looked at him in amazement.

Xie Yuncang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, was originally responsible for decision-making, and when he heard this, he actually planned to be a mouthpiece?

Then they heard Xie Yuncang say, "Everyone writes down their opinions, remember to sign them, and this pavilion will personally take it to the East Palace to meet His Highness."

One of the people who was arguing in the middle couldn't help but say, "Elder Xie Ge, if you go with everyone's ideas like this, aren't you afraid that Your Highness will be held accountable?"

Xie Yuncang raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, "Don't you do it if you're afraid?" Since I am the one who is there and I am the one who is held accountable, what are you afraid of?"

After saying this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "I have listened to the words of my colleagues just now, what you said is very reasonable, I think Your Highness will feel the same way, please don't hide it, write down any ideas!"

Fang Congwen quickly understood what Xie Yuncang meant, and although he was a little surprised in his heart, he was also a little excited at the same time.

After the court was dispersed, he asked Xie Yuncang to go shopping in the calligraphy and painting street together.

Xie Yuncang looked at him, "Lord Fang, now that the affairs of the court are so tense, you and I, as members of the cabinet, still have the leisure to hang out, will this seem a little right?"

Fang Congwen smiled, "This is called relaxation, one day is as tight as one day, you have been so tense, how long can you last?"

Think about your father, look at me again, although I am not as much as him, but I have also entered the cabinet, even if it is many years late, and the most important thing is that I am still alive!"

Xie Yuncang couldn't help frowning when he heard him talk about his father, and he used such a tone, revealing a little emotion that was rarely shown in front of people.

Fang Congwen laughed and patted Xie Yuncang's shoulder, "That's it! How old are you, frowning all day long, looking at it makes people feel worried, let's go, today

Whatever good things you like, I'll pay for them."

At the same time that Xie Yuncang raised his eyebrows, he immediately added, "But it can't exceed one hundred taels, this is my private money, it's just so much."

Xie Yuncang couldn't help but be amused by him, and sure enough, he was in a much better mood, "Then I have to pick it at this price."

The place where the two of them spoke was next to His Majesty Dan outside the inner yamen, and this conversation naturally couldn't hide from the ears of those who cared.

The prince stood beside the carp pond, looked at the koi that were still swimming at the bottom of the water in such a cold weather, and said lightly, "Got it."

"That...... The excerpt presented by Elder Xie Ge ......"

The prince glanced at the little eunuch below, and then threw the fish food in his hand directly into the water, "Tomorrow, let him come to the East Palace to see me."

At this time, Xie Yuncang had indeed followed Fang Congwen to the calligraphy and painting street with the richest holy name in the capital.

When I saw that one of the calligraphy and painting shops had hung up a few bucket squares written in his early years, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Fang Congwen seemed to be very interested, and pointed out a few words to two of them.

Walking all the way, I also asked a few pictures, but both of them thought that the price was too much, and after most of the day, they didn't get anything, but they were tired of walking a pair of feet, and they had to sit down in the teahouse on the side of the road to rest.

"Lord Fang, you shouldn't have deliberately taken the opportunity to ask me to come out and walk around and work my muscles, right?"

Fang Congwen laughed, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the person opposite, "In this cold day, it's always a good thing to sweat when you walk out!" Your daughter is a doctor, you don't even understand this little bit of health preservation, do you?"

Xie Yuncang just chuckled, then took a sip of tea, and sure enough, he felt comfortable all over, so he just smiled lightly and didn't speak.

After a while, Fang Congwen said a few words about calligraphy and painting, and then he spoke: "How sure do you think the prince can be this time?"

Xie Yuncang's gaze shifted from the menu made of bamboo slips to Fang Congwen's face on the other side, and after a while, he sighed and shook his head gently, "To be honest, before this, my nephew and I have been demonstrating on the sand table many times, and I really don't know why the prince made such a choice."

Fang Congwen twisted his fingers, as if he was hesitating to say something.

Xie Yuncang acted as if he didn't see it, so he ordered a plate of braised peanuts and a stack of bad goose paws, and then handed the bamboo slip to the person opposite, "Look at what you want to eat, you didn't buy the calligraphy and paintings you said you gave me, it's always okay to invite me to drink this tea."

Fang Congwen shook his head when he saw it and said, "You are a person who really doesn't know how to enjoy at all, where is there a cup of tea with this salty point."

"I'm sorry, I don't like desserts."

Fang Congwen shook his head again, and then ordered a table of good-looking and sweet refreshments.

After the two of them each ate what they ordered, Fang Congwen said, "Lord Wang, this is giving the capital a chance!"

Xie Yuncang paused for a moment as he ate peanuts, and then responded angrily.

Fang Congwen smiled, "Your father was so difficult to speak back then, but I couldn't imagine that I would give birth to you with such a refreshing temperament."

Xie Yuncang raised his eyes and glanced at the person opposite, and then sighed heavily, "This is not a good choice for juniors, but a helpless choice, just this step...... In the end, I still came out, and I hope that my father is in the spirit of heaven, and don't blame me for acting recklessly."

"Not reckless, not reckless, isn't this all for the world?" Fang Congwen laughed more and more.
