"Zhou Fu, Sage Yun, outside of Liuhe, you don't care, as the head of the cabinet, you actually bewitch the people, are you trying to trouble my Great Xia?"

As soon as the emperor asked this question, the ministers were shocked.

Everyone didn't expect that the emperor, who has always been gentle and mediates the relationship between all parties, would face the tough Zhou Fu today.

You must know that Zhou Fu, the head of the cabinet, was not promoted by the emperor, but because of the strength of the Zhou family.

Only the Zhou family can play in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Others in this position will be constrained by all sides.

Could it be that the emperor is going to tear his face and have a showdown?

How should they team up?

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the minister is the head of the cabinet that he dares to play this matter, so that His Majesty can listen to it and understand it, so as not to be prevaricated by the villain and mislead the country."

Zhou Fu did not back down at all.

"You ......"

Emperor Yuan Kang still wanted to scold Zhou Fu twice, but at this time, Zheng Yun, a member of the Imperial History of the Supervision Yuan, suddenly came out of the ranks, bowed to Emperor Yuan Kang and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister has something to say." ”

Seeing that it was Zheng Yun, Emperor Yuan Kangdi knew that this person wanted to play a round for Zhou Fu.

It's good to jump out, and if he jumps out, he will have a reason to replace this person as well.

Take a deep breath and let yourself become calmer.

Only then did he say: "Zheng Qing, say it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Only then did Zheng Yun straighten up and speak: "Although the matter of the gods is illusory, smallpox did happen after Li Xing appeared in the villages, and now the smallpox epidemic has indeed occurred in the villages and towns of Shuntianfu. ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Shuntian Mansion Yin about the specific situation."

Only then did Emperor Yuan Kangdi understand why these people didn't play smallpox before, it turned out that they were digging a pit here.

If I died of smallpox in a daze, they could use this as a reason to investigate Li Xing and implicate the crown prince.

In combination with those messages, the prince will never have a chance to inherit the throne.

It's really calculating.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated that Li Xing was able to solve the smallpox blight.

And Yuan Kangdi also wants to see what is the quality of this Shuntian Mansion Yin whom he personally promoted?

Is it also mixed up with these families?

So Emperor Yuan Kang looked at Yin Huang Wenliang of Shuntian Mansion: "Is it true?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is true, the smallpox virus has appeared in several villages and towns in Shuntianfu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Xing have also been to the villages and towns where the epidemic occurred."

Huang Wenliang felt that at this time, the situation was still unclear.

You can't rush into the team.

So he decided to blur the timeline and narrate the story.

If the Zhou family fails, he can also explain it well, and if the emperor compromises, he can also explain it well.

But he forgot that everyone present was not stupid.

Everyone saw through his cleverness.

I'm starting to dislike this guy from a humble background.

The poor here are not poor, and the poor are either homeless or hooligans in Great Xia.

The hooligans here are not the hooligans as they are now called, but the unemployed and vagrants.

Rather, it refers to those families that have been in the upper echelons and are gradually declining, collectively referred to as the Hanmen.

Compared with the common people, these poor families are at least at the level of landlords.

Naturally, the emperor also saw it, and knew better what was going on in his heart.

It takes a lot of effort for him to deal with those wealthy families, but it doesn't take much effort to deal with such an official from a poor family.

So he didn't get used to him: "Make it clear whether it was the epidemic that came first, or the epidemic that only happened after the prince and Li Xing went." ”

"This ...... This minister is also not clear, and it needs to be investigated. ”

Shuntianfu Yin didn't expect the emperor to ask directly, so he could only prevaricate.

But Emperor Yuan Kang smiled coldly and said angrily: "Huang Wenliang, as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, you dare to prevaricate when there is an epidemic in your jurisdiction, you are dereliction of duty, irresponsible to the people, and you are an official like you, who is a vegetarian eater, and it is also a scourge to the people to keep it." ”

When Emperor Yuan Kangdi said this, he paused, his eyes swept over the ministers, and he found that no one objected to what he said, and no one pleaded for Shuntian Mansion Yin.

Only then did he shout outside: "Someone come, take Shuntianfu Yin away, lock him in the edict prison, and interrogate him well, what is the matter with what he is talking in front of me?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Two Praetorian Guards waiting outside came in and saluted Emperor Yuankang.

Then he dragged Shuntian Mansion Yin Huang Wenliang away.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong."

At the moment when he was taken out, Huang Wenliang was still shouting.
