MTL - The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon-Chapter 158 159: The Emperor Gets Angry
Chapter 158 159: The emperor gets angry
"Master, you know that in a place like Jingwei, the imperial court has always turned a blind eye." Cao Dingwen sighed helplessly. He is in charge of money, not spending money. It is really unfair for him to be the first to top the tank when something happens.
"That was before." The right minister suffered a disadvantage at the hands of the emperor last year, and he faintly sensed that the emperor did it on purpose.
What does Jingwei look like, can the emperor not know?
Even if you don’t see the whole picture, at least you know half of it.
The troubles caused by the local officials in the south just gave the emperor a chance. In recent years, the emperor rarely asked about military power, so these people were careless. Now the emperor suddenly made a move, which caught them off guard.
The matter of the military parade has indeed been ordered in advance, but there is only less than one month. Could it be that the Jingwei is a god, and can replace all the equipment in the army with new ones. Who would want to spit out the money they have eaten?
I thought it would be fine to fool the past, but I didn't think that the emperor would not be tolerant, and first pressed Cao Dingwen's money bag on the chopping board. This is a demonstration.
The Right Prime Minister is also worried. Since he turned around due to the snow disaster, he has been quite cautious in doing things in recent months, but now he is not sure whether the officials who follow him are deeply involved.
When these people take advantage of it, they naturally talk good words, but if something happens, they must sell others and get away first.
"Master, what should we do now?" Cao Dingwen frowned.
"Do you still have the account books of the Ministry of Accounts?" asked the Prime Minister on the right.
Cao Dingwen nodded immediately, "Naturally."
This is a life-saving thing. Cao Dingwen took good care of it, remembering every sum of money clearly.
"The top and bottom of Jingwei are rotten. I'm afraid that the emperor woke up early and wanted to deal with them. Now I bring you up, just to ask you to express your opinion." The right minister thought of his daughter's letter. Song Zhaoyi is a very evil person. She pointed out last time, and he successfully turned over.
This time something happened, Song Zhaoyi took the initiative to find her daughter again, asking for advice was just an excuse.
Song Zhaoyi wants to use her daughter to let herself know the attitude of the emperor, is she secretly reminding herself to fight for the emperor?
The right minister was angry and laughed, this Song Zhaoyi really dared to think and do it.
The Right Prime Minister and the Left Prime Minister have been rivals in court for decades. Although they are rivals, they have a tacit understanding, at least on the matter of the new emperor, the two have cooperated tacitly in the past few years.
Now that he wants to change his banner and join the emperor, the right minister is taking a considerable risk.
Cao Dingwen's heart was half cold, "Master, you said that if I dare to express my opinion under such circumstances, wouldn't this be begging for death?"
Even if he doesn't understand soldiers or military affairs, he still knows that the water here is deep, and if he accidentally takes a wrong step, he will be doomed.
The right minister raised his eyes and looked at Cao Dingwen, "Master Cao, the left and right are half-dead, so it's better to fight."
Cao Dingwen was stunned for a moment, and instantly heard a different flavor, "Master Xiang, my minister is dull, please give me more advice."
"I'm not a military officer, how can I give you advice. The truth is that King Zhenbei is a sensible person. Mr. Cao should ask him for advice."
Cao Dingwen's face turned green when he thought of King Zhenbei's temper.
"Master, I'm afraid that I will be kicked out if I can't even enter the gate of Zhenbei Wangfu." Cao Dingwen said helplessly, Zhenbei Wang's dog temper, no one will give face, which of the civil servants in the court has not been scolded by him in these years?
The right minister couldn't understand the meaning of Cao Dingwen's words, he smiled helplessly, "There is no other way for the truth, only Mr. Cao can rely on himself."
Cao Dingwen:...
The Right Prime Minister does things very differently from before. Since his fall last year, he has become more and more cautious.
However, he felt that he had faintly noticed the meaning of Prime Minister Right. He knew that he was the chicken that the emperor used to kill chickens and monkeys. Who is the monkey?
Naturally, there are two phases of left and right.
The right minister has the intention of retreating and softening the emperor.
Cao Dingwen returned to the mansion full of thoughts, gritted his teeth and wrote a letter of worship, which was sent to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. As expected, he was thrown out by the King of Zhenbei.
Summer is coming soon, but he feels like he is in winter.
Cao Dingwen was sent away, and the right minister immediately asked people to find out how many of his officials were involved and how deep the involvement was.
Now that I think about it, when the commander of the Jingwei invited him to drink, luckily he didn't like that the other party didn't go. If he had gone, he would be speechless.
How can Song Zhaoyi repay his love this time?
The Prime Minister on the right had a headache, and after much deliberation, he could only pay it back to Song Nanzhen, but this time Song Nanzhen was recuperating at home...
Thinking of Song Nanzhen recuperating at home, and remembering what happened to the quartermaster before, Prime Minister Right's heart shuddered.
Although everyone knows that Song Nanzhen's injury is strange, but he can refuse such a lucrative official position as a quartermaster, and deliberately avoids the injury. This way of doing things is really exactly the same as Song Zhaoyi in the palace.
First, Song Nanzhen used injuries to avoid business affairs, and now he let him know the emperor's attitude through his daughter's mouth.
The right minister's mood is quite complicated, the Song family father and daughter are not fuel-efficient lamps.
It takes more than courage for a strong man to break his wrist. If he stands on the emperor's side this time, he will inevitably lose a group of followers, which is equivalent to breaking his own arm.
The right hand stood in front of the window, without moving for a long time.
The Jingwei is weak and disorganized. The emperor has the heart to rectify it. Taking this opportunity to send it out, he will definitely not give up until the goal is achieved.
He has to think about it.
**
At this time, Feng Yi was losing his temper in Wangyou Palace.
Song Yunzhao's study suddenly became the scene of a disaster. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone fell to the floor, and the incense burner in the corner was also kicked over. Song Yunzhao didn't persuade him, and when he entered the study, he sent all the palace people away from him.
The study room is like a typhoon passing through, the scene is really a bit tragic, the eyes are in a mess, and it is impossible to look directly at it.
Song Yunzhao didn't say a word of persuasion. She knew that Feng Yi was full of anger. She wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor in front of the courtiers, and even more so in front of the concubines. The anger in her heart could only be vented on her.
When the anger was almost vented, and seeing the emperor sitting there without saying a word, she quietly called Xiangxue and Shi Zhu to clean up the study as quickly as possible.
Xiangxue and Shizhu didn't dare to breathe, they cleaned up the mess on the ground as quickly as possible, and then backed out.
After Song Yunzhao and others went out, they closed the door, then walked up to Feng Yi, dragged the brocade stool and sat beside him, quietly accompanying him.
I don't know how long it took before Feng Yi let out a long breath, held Yun Zhao's hand, almost gritted his teeth and said, "I know that Jingwei is miserable, but I didn't know it was so embarrassing."
