Chapter Seventy-Three: Asking for Money and Discussing Obstacles (3)
Cai Xianqing had no choice but to return to the duty room honestly, and was ordered not to step out of the door, and after the matter was resolved, he would take action.
Jie Wenwu sat in the study and read the book for a while, his anger had gradually subsided, and he suddenly felt a little remorseful in his heart, so he picked up the two books again, read them carefully two or three times, and sighed depressedly.
"The right move...... Is it too much? With a sad face, he looked at the two henchmen standing on his left and right.
"Cai Xianqing dared to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and he should be punished. But Feng Xiang can't afford to offend, and he should try to alleviate it. ”
"Why don't I go with the book in person and come to the door to apologize."
"No, no," the two henchmen said in unison, "Although Shang Shu apologized, he definitely couldn't trust the adult, and sooner or later he would come to the military department to ask for the truth." Cai Xianqing has resentment in his stomach, and he will inevitably add wine and vinegar to push you to the opposite side of the Liu Party. ”
"How's that good?" Jie Wenwu covered his head and asked helplessly.
"But today's plan, only by summoning Cai Xianqing to come, first consoling with warm words, and then taking out gold, silver, jewelry and other things to appease and stabilize this scene, let him go to the province to see Niu Yuan. One is to do things perfectly, so that people are blameless; Second, the adult has a good personal relationship with Ye Shilang, and Cai Xianqing must take care of this under his orders. ”
"You're still smart," Jie Wenwu moved his fat body, "Hurry up and invite Director Cai over." Remember, tell the officials to put on a smiling face at the back and make an apology. ”
"Understood."
Cai Xianqing stood in front of the door of the study again. At this time, Jie Wenwu had become pleasant, made tea, and ordered the secretary office to set out a circle chair and asked him to sit down opposite.
"It's a lot of offense to be fit," Jie Shangshu said with a smile, "I hope the principal will listen to me." ”
"I'm also at fault, after all, you are my commander, this book should be handed over as soon as possible, and it is better for you to send someone to deliver it." Cai Xianqing leaned over and sat down slowly.
Jie Wenwu hurriedly said: "Alas, why do you say this! Even so, how can I keep Dutu's letter? I should have watched Ye Shilang's performance, but I was so anxious that my words were inappropriate, and I was really guilty of having a fight with you. With that, he picked up the two books from the table, and gave his henchman a look by the way, and the latter went to the back room.
"Having said so much, I will return it to its original owner," Jiewen Wu stretched out the book in front of him, "You still take it and send it to the prime minister." Let's solve the affairs of the ministry behind closed doors, not to mention that Ye Shilang is very compatible with me, and I don't want him to be full of ambitions and spread branches in this section and be misinterpreted by outsiders. The last time I patrolled the border, wasn't it because of this? ”
Cai Xianqing was stunned by his words, and even refuted it unreasonably, so she had to take it in her hand and bow her head slightly: "Jiegong understands the overall situation, and the lower officials admire it." ”
"Come on, give the silver to Master Cai as an apology!" As soon as he clapped his hands, the bookstore that had just entered the room came out with a square box, put it directly on the table and opened it, and there were more than ten white and bright silver pieces inside.
Cai Xianqing was born in an opera, and he was usually not afraid of collecting money, so he glanced at it with joy and said: "The lower officials have not made an inch, how can he be virtuous!" ”
"It's said to be an apology, but in fact, it's just a reward for your hard work." So he pushed him and forced him to take it.
Cai Xianqing went back to the duty room first, secretly took out the silver ingot, and sure enough, it was not light, so he put it in the drawer with peace of mind and went out to do his business.
He walked for a moment, and when he saw that he was about to enter the lobby of Zhongshu Province through a gate, he thought to himself: 'Jiewenwu is really shrewd, racking his brains to gag me. But I really don't know what Tinglong originally wanted, I came here on orders, and it was best not to make so much trouble for him. And if I accept his money, it means that the matter is settled, and it will inevitably be inappropriate to turn it out and say it again......
After considering it, he walked fast under his feet, and went straight to the council hall, and saw that the people around him were coming and going, and it was not good to say much, so he only bowed to Niu Yuan, and then presented two books.
Niu Yuan didn't hear a word from him, it was all regarded as an official document waiting for approval, but as soon as he opened the cover, the official's name appeared in the first line.
"Ye Yongjia......" He muttered the name, and suddenly looked up to see that it was Cai Xianqing.
"Cai ......" He was about to speak, when he noticed the officials beside him, coughed, and ordered: "You and the others go to the apse to find Deputy Hong to participate in the government and approve the official document, I have something important here." ”
Everyone listened to the order, and each rolled up the paperwork and retreated.
When no one was lonely, Niu Yuanfang took out a chair, motioned for Xianqing to sit down, and asked excitedly: "Why did the chief return to Beijing again?" ”
"Ye Shilang asked me to bring these two books to the adult, so the lower official specially drove the horse back."
Niu Yuan hurriedly went to examine the content of the book, and while reading, he continued to ask, "Did you go to the military department?" ”
"The subordinate is from the military department."
Niu Yuan frowned slightly: "Jie Wenwu saw it?" ”
"Lord Jie only read Ye Shilang's notebook, and didn't say anything......"
"That's fine," Niu Yuan exhaled, "I'm most afraid that he will use this to entangle party aid and oppose the new deal." ”
"That Lord Ye's opinion......" After the lesson last time, Cai Xianqing looked at him with less confidence.
"I think it's good," Niu Yuan replied without thinking, "now that this is the time of the day, everyone is too idle, it's time to push them!" ”
The next day, a letter from Du Qing completely ignited the imperial court. When Niu Yuan took this letter to the prince of the prison country, he also deliberately kept an eye on it, and temporarily hid Ye Yongjia's letter.
"Disgusting!" The crown prince scolded angrily, "The imperial court allocated so much money to Shi Yiyi for the war, but he fooled us and his father so much!" The new army has recruited so many people that they can't even fight with muskets, what a system! If you don't want to come up with a way to save the time, Suidi will also fall into the hands of the enemy! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was terrified, and the ministers broke out in a cold sweat, looking at each other, and they didn't know how to deal with this tricky situation; Even Liu Zhennian, who was sitting under the left hand of the crown prince, glanced at Niu Yuan a little nervously, but the latter shook his head at him, telling him to rest assured.
"Speak!" Liu Zhennian suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks," Liu Mian, the secretary of the household department, walked out of the train, stroked his gray beard, and looked straight at Niu Yuan, "The policy of setting up a new army was praised by Niu Yuan at the beginning, and it cost money and effort to waste the treasury. Now that there is something going on at the border, although the Ministry of War is responsible for it, but the specific affairs are all taken over by the prime minister, don't you have to take responsibility? ”
"Liu Shangshu, what you said is strange, when the enemy is coming, shouldn't you think of countermeasures first? What is the reason for being in a hurry to ask people to take the blame! ”
"Then I hope the prime minister will come up with a solution."
"How? Let the princes see it immediately. He stretched out his hand and took out Ye Yongjia's recital from his arms.
