"Do you think this is too shameless?" Yang Bo saw through Zhang Siwei's thoughts, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve indifferently, asked the one outside, and put two silver ingots into his palm and said, "Ziwei, tell me, which of these two silver ingots is noble and which one is inferior?"

Zhang Siwei frowned and couldn't speak.

"Actually, there is no difference. They can buy rice and noodles to fill their stomachs, and they can also enjoy themselves at the Fanzi Hutong." Yang Bo laughed and said, "Since that's the case, why bother how it came about?"

"Yes..." Zhang Siwei nodded, feeling it made sense.

"So, as long as it can bring benefits to our Shanxi people, what is the face? What business can't be done?" Yang Bo sighed in a cry of voice: "Your body and reputation are destroyed. You will not abandon the rivers and rivers forever. Ziwei, don't be too rigid."

Zhang Siwei looked at the two silver ingots in his hand and fell into deep thought.

It was not until the carriage stopped and the door opened that he came to his senses and asked Yang Bo: "Uncle, what should I do next?"

"Don't worry, let's take a break first. That kid is going to Henan. If you have time, let's think about it." Yang Bo smiled and looked at Xiao Wei with expectation: "I believe you can choose the right way this time."

After saying that, Lao Yang patted Xiao Wei's thin shoulder with his broad palm, and then got off the carriage with a smile.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

The court proposal is just like the court's voting results, at least in name, are only for reference by the emperor.

But if the emperor did not issue an order according to this result, the ministers would not obey the order... The false respect of the emperor by the Ming ministers almost reached its peak in the Longqing Dynasty.

So when the cabinet presented the results of the court's discussion to Emperor Longqing, the buzzer could not directly judge the victory of the shipping line. He could only ask Li Chunfang helplessly: "Yuanweng, what do you think? Half of them support the shipping line and half support the opening of the Jiaolai River. What should I do?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, the controversy can be seen from the results of the court's discussion." Li Chunfang said slowly and said: "It's also a big blame for the cabinet. The work I did not do enough before has caused such a big difference. I am betrayed the holy grace and I am guilty."

Chen Yiqin quickly apologized.

"Don't apologize for the crime at any time. Solving the problem is the only way to solve the problem!" Long Qing felt tired. He knew that he would not be punished, so they would keep apologizing. If the father had been there, they would have asked them to ask for a hammer.

"Reply to Your Majesty, the ancients said, 'It is better to see what you hear than what you see, and it is better to see what you see than what you see.'" Chen Yiqin said seriously: "I think the best way to eliminate the differences is to let the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry send personnel to jointly investigate to see if the Jiaolai River is useable and what the risk of shipping is. It is not too late to discuss it when they come back."

"I mean that's the same." Li Chunfang nodded in agreement.

"That's it." Emperor Longqing could only nodded depressedly and let the cabinet do it.

~~

When the two of them left, Long Qing stood up so angry that he stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

How could he not be angry? The shipping he had already approved in person, and finally he had such a minister rubbed it and turned into this!

You really don’t use buzz as a hornet!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He grabbed his tea bowl and was about to sweep it onto the ground!

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Chen Hong, who was on the turn today, quickly reminded: "If you smash this again, you will be completely unworthy of the trap!"

"Oh..." Long Qing put the tea bowl down depressedly and said with a bitter face: "If the sea trade is opened smoothly, can I not even dare to put a tea bowl?"

"Yes, that's 10% of the sea trade share, there's always hundreds of thousands of taels?" Chen Hong also said covetingly. He is an eunuch in the imperial prison, who specializes in spending money for the emperor. Only when the emperor has money to spend, he can get kickbacks...

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, Chen Hong has the heart to kill Li Chunfang.

He suddenly thought that he was going home the day before yesterday, and his good friend Shao Fang came over to tell him that the time for hard work had arrived. He asked him to fire his first shot in front of the emperor as soon as possible after the court post, so as to take over the top of Gao Xinzheng and lay a solid foundation for becoming the eunuch of the seal.

It was right to say good things about Gao Gong in front of the emperor, and to say bad things about the other ministers. Chen Hong mustered up the courage and sobbed in his face.

"Why are you crying?" Long Qing was naturally stunned when he saw this.

"I deserve to die, I can't help myself." Chen Hong quickly knelt down and apologized, but cried even more sadly: "But I just can't help it. I'll feel uncomfortable for the Lord Long Live."

"Oh..." Long Qing said, and thought to himself that even a slave felt pitiful.

The humming mood became even worse and worse, and he sighed: "Yes, since the founding of the country of Ming Dynasty, there has never been a single emperor as cowardly as me."

"Although the emperor is kind, he is definitely not cowardly, otherwise the late emperor would not choose you to succeed the throne." Chen Hong said in tears: "It's just that the ministers who eat the king's fortune are ungrateful and vent their anger. Since Master Gao left, Your Majesty has been alone and alone, and it's so great that the tiger can't hold the wolves!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Long Qingshen scolded him with approval, emphasizing: "At least I still have Master Chen and Master Zhang..."

"But they are not responsible! I will say something today if I risk my life, Master Gao will not come out, and you will never be calm!" Chen Hong kowtowed and choked with blood and said: "Because I discovered that Master Long Live has never been happy in the past two years after Master Gao left. I am really worried about the dragon body!"

"Okay, get up quickly." Long Qing stretched out his feet, kicked Chen Hong gently, and sighed: "I am not looking forward to Master Gao coming back? However, I am afraid that there are too many people in the court, so Tingtui can't pass, and he refused, so he got stuck there..."

"Long live, it's right, but now, there seems to be a good opportunity." Chen Hong glanced at Longqing and said with courage.

"Oh?" asked with a buzzing expression, "What's the best opportunity?"

"The court could not push it before, mainly because Mr. Xu had too much influence in the court. Those people had offended Master Gao with him, so they would naturally unite to make trouble in the court." Chen Hong said slowly as Shao Fang taught:

"But it's different now. Xu Jie has become stinky. The so-called Xu Party can no longer unite. The result of this court discussion is a clear proof, long live!"

"Well." Long Qing touched the neatly trimmed jaws and thought carefully for a moment... but he still couldn't figure it out clearly, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "You keep going."

"Yes. Why do you say that?" Chen Hong said quietly: "Because the old slave looked at the list of voting in the court and found that the sixteen officials from Nanzhili, ten people from Jiangnan, had voted for the shipping, while the six people from Jiangbei had voted for the shipping. Although the Nanzhili was originally bulk, it was so clear on such a major issue. It can only explain one problem, they were divided!"

"Is that true?" Long Qing stretched out his hand and asked Chen Hong to bring the results of the court discussion for him. Then, compared the officials' hometowns one by one, he found that it was indeed correct. Xu Ge Lao's base camp, Nanzhili, has indeed been divided into two factions!

"It seems that Mr. Li is from Nanzhi too, right?" Long Qing suddenly asked.

"Original from Yangzhou." Chen Hong nodded and said, "Yangzhou is in Jiangbei and is an important town on the Grand Canal."

"Well." Long Qing stretched out his finger and paddled around the memorial book, "He brought six officials from Jiangbei to support the canal transportation. This completely offended officials from Jiangnan."

"I heard that even Zhejiang officials are determined to win the shipping situation, and Qingyishui has submitted support." Chen Hong said with added qigong.

"Well..." Long Qing still understood this.

The biggest obstacle to Gao Gong's recovery is the current chief assistant Li Chunfang. Now, for the sake of the canal transportation, Li Chunfang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials parted ways, and it seems that there is a chance to take advantage of the situation.

"However, these officials have changed a lot." But Long Qing was always cautious. After thinking about it, he said, "I'm afraid that it will be Master Gao's turn to turn around, so they will wear another pair of pants."

"It's not impossible." Chen Hong whispered: "If you want to know how many conflicts they have, it's better to ask someone who is trustworthy." As he said that, he quickly left behind, "But the old slave has no contact with the foreign official, I don't know if there are people who are both trustworthy and understand the inside story."

"Yes, it's hard to find such people..." Long Qing also became worried.

Chen Hong almost fell to the ground, thinking that he was very good at finding it! The person who meets this condition most often comes to the palace every now and then. Do you want me to learn how to make a small movie with him?

Fortunately, Emperor Longqing only reacted slowly. After a while, he finally slapped his forehead and said, "Why did I forget that kid? He is the one who is doing the shipping matter. It must be clear! Hurry up, tell me that Zhao Hao has entered the palace!"

"Your Majesty is a little restless. How many pairs of eyes are staring at this moment?" Chen Hong hurriedly smiled bitterly and advised: "Your Majesty Zhao will enter the palace tomorrow and play a movie for the prince. It's not too late to ask him at that time."

"Well, that's right." Long Qingshen nodded with agreement, looked at Chen Hong with admiration: "Old Chen, why are you so smart today?"

"This..." Chen Hong was sweating all over his head, thinking that he was broken and had performed.

Fortunately, this hero also had a lesson. He quickly leaned over and cried, "Although the old slave was wrongly loved by the emperor and ordered to be the supervisor of the rituals, he always remembered the Taizu's teachings that "eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics", so he has been silent in the past. Today I can't help it. I deserve to die. I ask Your Majesty to punish you!"

"Oh, why should I punish you? It's too late to reward you?" Long Qing was not so suspicious, and patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "It seems that Teng Xiang is not as good as you. He said this today. If everyone in the Silijian was like you, how could I be bullied by those ministers?"

Chen Hong's old face turned red and he kowtowed excitedly: "As long as it can be useful to Master Long Live, I will be willing to break into pieces!"
