Chapter 214: Opening the sea is auspicious
The atmosphere in the cabinet canteen is strange and anxious.
Chen Yiqin had a temper after all, and couldn't help but say hard: "You guy seems to be in the wrong seat, right?"
"Did you sit in the wrong place?" Gao Gong said with a look of course: "I remember, I was the second assistant two years ago."
"This..." Chen Yiqin was immediately furious and said in a muffled voice: "The rules are not like this."
"How could that happen?" Gao Gong looked at him strangely and said, "In the 11th year of Jiajing, Duke Zhang Wenzhong retired and became prime minister the following year. Ten years later, Xia Guixi was dismissed from his post and lived in vain, and he returned to the prime minister ten years later. What is this rule?"
"This, this..." Chen Yiqin's face turned red and couldn't speak. He couldn't say it, was that the late emperor doing something, right?
"Mr. Chen, sit down quickly." Seeing that Chen Yiqin was about to explode, Li Chunfang didn't care about his gang and smiled at Gao Gong, "Speaking of this, Mr. Gao was above me at that time. I think I would give in, why would you rather invite him to sit down?"
As he said that, he also made a gesture to get up.
Zhao Zhenji also held the table with both hands and prepared to get up as he followed.
Gao Gong looked at Li Chunfang with a smile, and told him with his eyes that he had been stopping him from recovering, and he knew clearly!
Li Chunfang's face gradually turned red, not because she was angry, but because she felt ashamed. The dignified prime minister was so afraid of a newly reinstated cabinet member, which really lost all the face of the prime minister of all generations.
But fear is fear. His legs are a little weak and he can't stand up no matter how hard he is.
At this time, Gao Gong spoke, and only heard him laughing faintly: "Yuan Fu was joking. The lower official was just the second official at the time. Now it is a lucky thing to restore the position of Yuan Fu. He never had the idea of coveting the position of Yuan Fu."
In fact, it is mainly because he has become a heavenly official, and the words of serving as the chief minister are too shocking. At least before he has completely gained a foothold, it is very unwise to plan for the chief minister.
"It's okay, the old man is respected and respected. I am willing to give this position." Li Chunfang said with a strong smile.
"Do you want me to be attacked by those malicious guys?" Gao Gong snorted and sneered: "Hmph, I have been driven away once, and I don't want to lose someone again!"
"Ha, there's nothing to do..." Li Chunfang stopped embarrassedly when she saw this. On the one hand, the key was that he would lose the same hatred of the enemy when he heard Gao Gong say in person that he would not attack him as the chief minister.
The chief minister did not stand up, and Zhao Zhenji, a member of the cabinet who had just entered the cabinet, naturally had to sit down again obediently.
Leaving only one Chen Yiqin is sitting there, either walking or walking.
If you sit down, you will suffer humiliation and become a laughing stock.
Leaving means leaving the cabinet forever.
He even thought of the only death in the ages of hardship. Is this the fucking way to die?
In the end, the dignity of the scholar-officials prevailed. He bowed to Gao Gongyi and sneered: "Gaoge, Gao Jisu, I wish you great success and assist Your Majesty for a thousand years!"
Zhang Juzheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter. The one who lived for a thousand years was the turtle...
Since Gao Gong has achieved his goal, he will not compete for quarrels. He smiled and nodded: "I will accept your auspicious words."
"Hmph!" Seeing that he had a fight with him and had no chance to vent his anger, Chen Yiqin had to leave.
"Mr. Songgu, don't be impulsive." Seeing that Chen Yiqin was about to leave, Li Chunfang was anxious. Without this buffer, wouldn't he be subjected to Gao Gong's close-fitting pressure? Who can withstand this?
He quickly stood up and called him, "If you have something to say, please."
"Stop by Songgu Gong." Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Juzheng, who were sitting at the door, hurriedly got up to pull Chen Yiqin.
Chen Yiqin couldn't help but stop, and the steps could not be lowered. He would be in the cabinet for a day and he would be shameless to come back.
"Old Ge, you'll leave after dinner. The food in the cabinet is still good. I think you've been fat these two years." Since Gao Gong has offended him, he naturally has to drive him out of the cabinet to avoid being disgusted in the future.
Chen Yiqin's old face turned red. He knew Gao Gong was accusing him of just eating but not working.
Li Chunfang also blushed, and he also gained a lot of weight.
"Duke Xinzheng, please say a few words. Duke Songgu is fat." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly advised: "It is not all our responsibility to lose state affairs in recent years."
"Let go!" Chen Yiqin was furious when he heard this, and shook Zhang Juzheng's hand and said, "Zhang Taiyue, you don't have to be sarcastic here! I know you are waiting for you day and night, and finally you have come to your support. Tell you that with your tall beard, this bad character that cannot tolerate people will sooner or later have a stumble with you!"
As he said that, he pulled Zhao Zhenji's hand away and said, "Dazhou, sorry, I've pulled you closer to the fire pit."
Finally, he looked at Li Chunfang again, shook his head, and sighed: "I will resign tomorrow. I can't accompany Yuanfu to the end."
After saying that, he went downstairs without regard to everyone's obstruction.
Of course, we must also sing songs that cannot be avoided:
"Who can't bear to be talented in the face of the dust?
The green mountains have to go back, and the official positions come and come!”
Zhongsi Zhilang and the sherman in the big canteen downstairs watched Chen Yiqin go downstairs in amazement and straight out of the canteen.
"Why, what do you mean by the words? Chen Ge always wants to be crowned?" People whispered:
"Google Master is too fierce. He drove the assistant away as soon as he came back..."
Everyone couldn't help but feel horrified, thinking that as soon as Gao Beizi came back, the cabinet was about to enter a turbulent future.
~~
In the afternoon of that day, she will eat herbs.
As soon as he returned to the cabinet meeting hall, Gao Gong sat in Chen Yiqin's seat and began to perform his duties as a secondary assistant. He was responsible for this stall when he left, and then he worked on it, which was seamlessly connected. It can be seen how stagnant the government has reached in the past two years.
Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji felt wailing when they saw this. Alas, Chen Ge can never come back now.
But then again, the tall bearded man was domineering and his ability was extremely strong. In the afternoon, he completed all the state affairs that Chen Yiqin had accumulated and handed over to the Prime Minister for review.
"So fast?" Li Chunfang put on reading glasses in surprise.
"Otherwise?" Gao Gong looked at Li Chunfang with an expression that people cannot generalize their strength and said, "In the past, Emperor Taizu approved 1,000 memorials per day. We have so many great scholars, but they still have the memorials accumulated like a mountain. No wonder the State Council is getting worse and worse."
"Hey, how can a minister be compared with Taizu..." Li Chunfang was bored and quickly turned his gaze back to the memorial.
According to the rules, the chief minister will make arbitrary decisions on the cabinet affairs and take charge of the votes, and the other cabinet ministers cannot comment. Even if the government is handed over to the cabinet ministers since Jiajing, all the votes will need the chief minister to decide whether it is possible and finally sign it. Therefore, the power of the chief minister is far from comparable to that of the general cabinet officials.
But they also score who are the first and second supporters?
Li Chunfang read several votes and raised several objections, but Gao Gong was forced back without any scrupulousness and hardship. He could not help but follow.
Until he saw the bill on the Ministry of Works, "I inspected the current situation of the Jiaolai Canal under the order" that Li Chunfang finally changed his face.
‘Since Jiaolai River cannot be opened, the Ministry of Revenue will quickly handle the transportation of grain according to the sea.’
In just one sentence, the previous quarrels of the imperial court gave the finale of the canal transportation proposal...
"This is the matter, the court debate last time, how can the cabinet make a decision?" Li Chunfang picked up the handkerchief on the table to wipe the sweat, and could not tell whether it was hot or cold sweat.
"How could it be a decision? Isn't there any investigation results on Zhubutang?" Gao Gong stretched out his thick finger and pointed at the work department's question book on the table and said: "There is a watershed in the Jiaolai River. The sea tides at both ends invade the estuary, bringing huge amounts of silt. And even if the maintenance is not limited to cost, the annual transportation capacity will not exceed 200,000 stones!"
"Is that so little?" Li Chunfang was also surprised.
"Is this a joke?!" Gao Gong suddenly raised his tone and stared at him, "Who made this bad idea? I must remove the turtle grandson!"
"Uh..." Li Chunfang was sure that she was sweating coldly.
"Besides, how to transport grain, it has always been decided by the cabinet. Why should I put it on the court? Isn't it because I'm drunk vinegar and drunkenly - Is it because I'm looking for trouble if I have nothing to do?" Gao Gong stroked his beard and said, "Is it because the grain transported from the sea so terrible? The military and civilians can't eat it?"
Li Chunfang was speechless when asked and wiped her sweat.
Zhao Zhenji had no choice but to say, "Duke Xinzheng cannot be wrong, but the transportation of canals is based on the food and clothing of millions of canal workers, so we cannot only discuss it."
"What a bullshit to do with the food and clothing of millions of canal workers, nonsense!" Gao Gong waved his hand disdainfully: "The people who really want to save their jobs, so hurry up and try to repair the canal and restore the canal!"
"But the problem with the canal is the Yellow River. How to build the canal if the Yellow River is not built properly?" Zhao Zhenji frowned and said, "The river yamen and the canal transport yamen have never been dealt with, and it is very difficult to coordinate. When will the canal transport be restored, is it up to the people of the canal transport to decide?"
"This is simple. Isn't it easy to coordinate if the Prime Minister of the River and the Governor of the Water Transportation family?" Gao Gong waved his hand and said, "I see if I will discuss this matter next time I recommend it."
Zhao Zhenji was blocked and speechless. Although Gao Gong's words were vulgar, every sentence that was said to the point makes people irrefutable.
Li Chunfang's eyes lit up when she heard this. Although the high-end outlet was so thick that it was unpleasant, this method was indeed a good way. In this way, she would not have to be overwhelmed in order to coordinate the canal transportation of the river all day.
"And didn't the shipping of grains be made very clear? When the transportation of grains is restored, they can only transport 100,000 stones a year. I am afraid that it will not repent? What are the intentions of those who oppose this kind of considerate plan?"
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back then..." Li Chunfang whispered: "The cost of shipping is too low. Over time, more and more people oppose the canal. Even if the canal is open, it will be useless."
"If people want to do what they want, then continue shipping. There is no reason why the court will sacrifice the people and raise those borers!" Gao Gong snorted coldly: "For many years, those borers have been entrusted with the self-respecting of the grain. The court cannot move or change it. Once it moves, it will use paralysis of the grain transportation. The grain transportation is threatened by the rebellion, and the court forces the court to make concessions again and again. This time, it is time for them to force them to make some money. At that time, it is better to reform the grain transportation to reduce fees, or learn from others to carry out shipping. No matter how you choose, it is better than just knowing how to suck blood now!"
"Even if there is something unexpected, let's talk about it, don't do anything because of choking!" Gao Gong said, holding the chief assistant's desk with both hands, looking at Li Chunfang and said: "I'm finished, what's the point of Yuan Fu?"
"Yes, it makes sense..." Li Chunfang was furious when she was seen.
"Okay, then please sign!" Gao Gong picked up the brush and almost stuffed it into Li Chunfang's hand.
Chapter completed!
