The stone was sandwiched in the song and sent into the palace, Xu Jingchang silently calculated, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Lao Wu, do you think Your Majesty will come over in the morning or in the afternoon? How about we bet on a table of wine? ”

Wu Shan was still buried in sorting out the official documents, and said aggrievedly: "Forget about the banquet, why don't you bet on Qin Huai to listen to the music once?" To tell the truth, my subordinates don't have the heart to work. ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes wildly, "You, you're too unproductive." ”

Wu Shan said bitterly: "What is the official like, the adults also know that I really haven't seen anything in the world." ”

Xu Jingchang snorted: "Okay, look at it, you will be able to see the world soon." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside, and he rushed directly into the General Administration Division, and when he arrived at the duty room, as soon as Xu Jingchang looked up, he found that Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were coming together.

He hurriedly got up to salute, but he was puzzled, he sent a stone to Zhu Di, why did Yao Guangxiao come with him, and he came so quickly?

"Xu Jingchang, today Young Master Yao entered the palace, and the palanquin man broke his foot not far in front of the palace and almost fell the young master. He entered the palace and told me, you sent two more stones into the palace, what the hell is going on? Hurry up and explain it to me. ”

Only then did Xu Jingchang understand what was going on, it turned out that the inferior project almost harmed Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di was angry with Young Master Yao, and he was probably afraid that there would be too many eyes and ears in the palace, so he hurriedly roared over.

"Your Majesty, let the minister say, don't be too anxious. In the name of street damage, I asked the Ministry of Industry to quickly come up with a plan, ask them where the problem is, and how much expenditure is needed, and make a plan. Wait for the Ministry of Industry to come up with the results, and then the minister will tell His Majesty. ”

"No way!" Zhu Di flatly refused, "I hate playing dumb riddles the most, you just say it, don't talk about him left and right." ”

Xu Jingchang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this matter is a bit complicated, and I can't say three or two sentences clearly, it's really better to ask the Ministry of Industry." ”

Zhu Di wanted to ask, but Yao Guangxiao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister will listen to Xu Tongzheng once after pondering, Your Majesty should hurry up and deal with government affairs, this is not a big deal, the old minister stays here and has a good chat with Xu Tongzheng." ”

Zhu Di rolled his eyelids, he really respected Yao Guangxiao, this was his teacher.

"Okay then, the young master will stay here, and I'll go back."

As soon as Zhu Di left, Yao Guangxiao sat down with a smile, and then said: "Xu Tongzheng, since I ate your Xufu's vegetarian food, the rest of the world is too far behind, not even the palace." At noon today, you can prepare another table for Lao Wei. ”

Xu Jingchang was helpless, "Young Master, that vegetarian meal is not easy to do." Last time I had a treat, you did me a favor, this time I have a treat, are you doing me a favor again? ”

Yao Guangxiao said angrily: "Boy, don't be cheap and sell well, just now Lao Wei persuaded His Majesty to dig a pit for you, and if you don't get it, you will have to plant it in the Ministry of Industry." You kid is really welcome, I just offended you, you have to find six departments to settle accounts, and you are too grudgeful. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Young Master, your old man is really insightful, I invited this meal." ”

In the afternoon, Xu Jingchang accompanied Yao Guangxiao to drink tea and eat the oil in his stomach.

Xu Jingchang said casually: "Young Master, it was originally the stone I handed over, but now your old man has found a problem, although it is a coincidence, but it is said that the two of us found it, what do you think?" ”

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help it, "You little scoundrel, why don't you just say that the old man told you to do this?" ”

Xu Jingchang's eyes widened, and he immediately said: "It's like respecting life!" ”

Yao Guangxiao was speechless, he was entangled by Xu Jingchang, but how smart the old monk was, Xu Jingchang pulled himself, which means that this matter is too big for him to bear alone.

I'm afraid it's not just a matter of the Ministry of Industry.

"Can you tell the old man what you have found that you can be sure of succeeding? The old man can advise you, don't make too many enemies, unless you have a way to avoid future troubles. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Then it depends on how they deal with it, and it depends on whether your old man can help or not!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yao Guangxiao was really stunned, watching the courtiers deal with it and looking at his own help, so this kid is full of confidence in himself?

They chatted until late in the evening and were about to go home.

At this time, Zhu Di came in a hurry, and he also had a piece of music in his hand.

"Young Master, this is a repair strategy handed over by the Ministry of Works. In fact, they already knew that this matter was all a mistake left by Jianwen's fool, and he took the money from the Ministry of Industry to levy food and conscription, just to deal with me. As a result, I didn't even get the project under my nose right, which is really embarrassing. With such ability, how can I be my opponent? Hahaha! ”

Obviously, Zhu Di was very satisfied with the explanation of the Ministry of Industry.

Xu Jingchang blinked, "Your Majesty, how much money did the Ministry of Industry ask for this time?" ”

"One hundred and eighty thousand taels." Zhu Di said with a smile: "I brought their budget notes, it was written very clearly, it was supposed to be handed over in the next few days, and after the reprimand, the hundred officials still tried their best, compared to before, there has been a big change." ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes twice, and handed it to Yao Guangxiao, and the old monk also looked at it, and then said: "There seems to be no loophole, Your Majesty should approve of the Ministry of Industry's statement, and the next step is to let the Ministry of Household allocate money, requisition people, and collect stones." ”

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "What do you mean, is there a story here?" Young Master, what did you talk about for a day? ”

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Xu Jingchang and said in his heart that it was time for you to uncover the puzzle.

Xu Jingchang looked at the time, "It's almost over, Your Majesty, you bring a few guards, and the ministers will lead you to a place." ”

Zhu Di saw that Xu Jingchang was mysterious and secret, and his curiosity also came, so he explained to Jinyi Wei Jigang and asked him to take a few people, together with Xu Jingchang, Yao Guangxiao, and Wu Shan, and go straight to the teahouse.

The second time he came, Xu Jingchang was already familiar with the road, and directly took them to the third floor, wrapped the entire floor, and looked down at the street in front of him.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights were bright and green, and soon I saw the officials of various yamen, and they came one after another.

Wu Shan pointed at the window, his heart pounding, this is not him and Xu Jingchang, His Majesty is here, Young Master Yao is also here, these people can't be a little restrained?

That's not the way to find death!

It's just that Wu Shan soon despaired, because he saw several familiar faces in the crowd.

The last time I saw you, this time it's still you!

You're on the Qinhuai River, aren't you?

The more Wu Shan thought about it, the more angry he became, he was also a courtier, people could come every day, what was wrong with him?

In line with the mentality of getting caught in the rain and desperately trying to tear off other people's umbrellas, Wu Shan stared his eyes like copper bells, and did not let go of any unlucky person who threw himself into the net.

In about half an hour, more than 30 names have been recorded......

Just look, Zhu Di's face continued to deepen in color, becoming like the bottom of a black cauldron, and the monstrous anger almost made him explode.

Not to mention the road construction, just so many officials came to the Qinhuai River to drink flower wine, which made Zhu Di angry.

He remembered that when Zhu Yuanzhang was there, the courtiers were so tired every day that they didn't dare to come to this kind of place.

Jianwen, a good nephew, really corrupted the national code, connived at civil officials, and made the world into a miasma, and the capital was like this, which was really annoying.

"Ji Gang, go find out these people and put them in prison." Zhu Di shouted angrily.

Ji Gang has a majestic figure, a high nose, deep eyes, and a bit of a hawkish look, he immediately agreed, and he was going down.

Xu Jingchang didn't speak, so it was good to catch a shape.

Yao Guangxiao stopped him, "You can't be in danger, you go and investigate first, see how many officials there are, and wait for tomorrow to go to court, and then deal with it." ”

Ji Gang glanced at Zhu Di, Zhu Di forcibly suppressed his anger, he knew that Yao Guangxiao was worried that Jianwenyu's party would be unfavorable to him, so he nodded, "Well, listen to the young master." ”

Ji Gang went, and Zhu Di was already planning to return to the palace, when a sedan chair suddenly passed below.

Wu Shan's face changed.

"Whose is it?" Zhu Di asked.

Wu Shan glanced at Xu Jingchang, Xu Jingchang completely saw that the funeral was not too big, "You just say, can you still bully the king?" ”

"It's Ru Shangshu's."

"Ru Yu? He also came to this kind of place? Zhu Di was surprised, but he didn't expect that this Taoist gentleman had a wide range of hobbies.

After a while, Ji Gang returned.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have already found out, there are as many as fifty people, and almost all the yamen are among them."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "Others don't say it, what about Ru Jin?" He's also here to have fun? ”

"Yes, he also found ......"

"Who's it for?" Zhu Di asked.

"I found one of Qi Tai's concubines." Ji Gang's voice was not high, but the faces of everyone present changed, and even Xu Jingchang was amazed, but he didn't expect Ru Shangshu to be infected with Prime Minister Cao's little hobby.
