    "Do you think this is too shameless?" Yang Bo saw through Zhang Siwei's thoughts and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve without thinking. He asked the officer outside for another, and put the two silver ingots in his hands.  The palm of his hand said: "Ziwei, tell me, of these two ingots of silver, which one is noble and which one is despicable?"

    Zhang Siwei frowned and was speechless.

    "Actually, there is no difference. They can both buy rice and noodles to fill their stomachs, and they can both go to Fenzi Hutong to have fun." Yang Bo laughed and said, "In that case, why do you care about where it comes from?  ?¡±

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

    "So, as long as it can bring benefits to us Shanxi people, what does face mean? What business can't be done?" Yang Bo said with a sigh: "Your body and reputation will be destroyed. Don't waste the rivers."  Eternal flow. Ziwei, don't be too rigid."

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

    It wasn¡¯t until the carriage stopped and the door opened that he came back to his senses and asked Yang Bo: ¡°Uncle, what should I do next?¡±

    "No hurry, let's calm down first. It just so happens that the boy is going to Henan. I have time for you to think about it." Yang Bo smiled, looked at Xiao Wei expectantly and said, "I believe you can choose the right path this time.  .¡±

    After saying that, Lao Yang patted Xiao Wei's thin shoulder with his generous palm and got out of the carriage with a smile.

    ??~~

    The Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

    The voting results of Tingyi, like Tingtui, are only for the emperor¡¯s reference, at least in name.

    "It's just that if the emperor doesn't issue an edict in accordance with this result, the ministers will not obey the edict This false respect for the emperor by the Ming ministers almost reached its peak in the Longqing Dynasty.

    So when the cabinet presented the results of the court meeting to Emperor Longqing, Humong couldn't directly judge the shipping company as the winner. He could only ask Li Chunfang with a helpless face: "Yuan Weng, what do you think? Half support shipping and half support opening glue."  Laihe, what should we do?"

    "Back to Your Majesty, from the results of the court meeting, it can be seen that the controversy is huge." Li Chunfang said to Xini unhurriedly: "It is also the cabinet's fault. It did not do enough work before, so there are such big differences. I have failed the holy grace, and I am guilty.  ah."

    Chen Yiqin quickly followed suit and apologized.

    "If you're all right, don't plead guilty at all times. Solving the problem is the right thing to do!" Long Qing felt disgusted in his heart. He knew that he couldn't punish the guilty, so they kept pleading guilty.  If the father had been around, he would have asked them to give him a hammer.

    "Back to Your Majesty, the ancients said, 'What you hear with your ears is worse than what you see with your eyes, and what you see with your eyes is worse than practicing it'." Chen Yiqin said sternly: "I think the best way to resolve differences is to have the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works send personnel to conduct a joint investigation. Let¡¯s take a look at the condition of the Jiaolai River and see what the risks are to shipping. It won¡¯t be too late to wait until they come back to discuss it.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what I mean too.¡± Li Chunfang nodded in agreement.

    "That'll be done." Emperor Longqing could only nod his head depressedly and let the cabinet do what he wanted.

    ??~~

    When the two of them retreated, Long Qing stood up angrily and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

    Can he not be angry?  The shipping that I had personally approved turned out to be like this after being rubbed by such a minister!

    You really don¡¯t think of buzzing as a wasp!

    The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed his tea bowl and was about to throw it on the ground!

    "Your Majesty, please calm down!" Chen Hong, who was on duty today, quickly reminded: "If you smash this again, it will no longer be suitable for you!"

    "Alas" Long Qing put down the tea bowl depressedly and said with a grimace, "If Shunshun Dangdang opens a sea trade, how can I not even dare to shake a tea bowl?"

    "Yes, that's 10% of the sea trade share. There are always hundreds of thousands of taels, right?" Chen Hong also coveted.  He is a royal eunuch who specializes in spending money for the emperor.  The emperor has money to spend, so he can get kickbacks

    " Destroying people's financial prospects is like killing their parents. Chen Hong already wanted to kill Li Chunfang.

    He suddenly thought that when he went home from duty the day before yesterday, his good friend Shao Fang came over and told him that the time he had been waiting for had arrived.  Please ask him to make the first move in front of the emperor as soon as possible after the court promotion, so that he can take the lead in restoring Gao Xinzheng and lay a solid foundation for becoming the eunuch in charge of the seal.

    It is always right to say good things about Gao Gong and bad things about other ministers in front of the emperor.  Chen Hong mustered up his courage, covered his face and began to sob.

    "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 to plead guilty, but cried even more sadly: "But I just can't help it, I feel so sorry for Long Live the Lord."

    "Alas""" Long Qing heard this and thought to himself, even a slave feels sorry for me.

    Humun¡¯s mood couldn¡¯t help but become more and more gloomy, and he sighed: ¡°That¡¯s right, since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, there has never been a single emperor as useless as me.¡±

    "Although Lord Long Live is benevolent, he is definitely not a coward, otherwise the late emperor would not have chosen you to succeed him." Chen Hong said with tears in his face: "It's just that those ministers who eat the emperor's salary are ungrateful and vent their anger through one nostril. Master Zigao  After leaving, Your Majesty will be alone, and a tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves!"

    "Don't talk nonsense." Long Qing reprimanded him with deep understanding, and emphasized: "At least I still have Master Chen and Master Zhang"

    "But none of them can do anything! Today I risk my life to say something, Your Majesty, if Master Gao doesn't come out, there will be no peace for you!" Chen Hong kowtowed and choked with blood flowing out: "Because old slave  I found that in the past two years after Master Gao left, Long Live Master has never been happy. I am really worried about the dragon body!"

    "Okay, get up quickly." Long Qing stretched out his feet, kicked Chen Hong gently, and sighed: "Why don't I look forward to Master Gao's return? However, there are too many people in the court who are afraid of him.  He always couldn't push through, and Te Jian refused, so he ended up stuck there"

    "Wanzai is right, but now, there seems to be a good opportunity." Chen Hong glanced at Long Qing and said bravely.

    "Oh?" Humong's expression perked up and he asked, "What's a good opportunity?"

    "In the past, Ting Tui could not pass, mainly because Mr. Xu Ge had too great influence in the court. Those people who had followed him and offended Master Gao would naturally unite to cause trouble in Ting Tui." Chen Hong followed Shao Fang's teachings.  He said slowly:

    "But it's different now. Xu Jie has fallen into disrepute, and the so-called Xu Party can no longer be united. The results of this court meeting are proof, long live!"

    "Hmm." Long Qing touched his neatly trimmed beard and thought seriously for a moment But he still didn't think clearly, so he could only say in a low voice: "You continue."

    "Yes. Why do you say that?" Chen Hong said quietly: "Because the old slave looked at the list of voting for the court meeting and found that sixteen officials from South Zhili, ten from Jiangnan voted for sea transportation, but six from Jiangbei voted  Water transportation. Although Nanzhili is originally in bulk, it is so clear-cut on such a major issue. It can only mean one thing, they are divided!"

    "Really?" Long Qing stretched out his hand and asked Chen Hong to bring him the results of the court meeting. Then he compared the officials' birthplaces one by one and found that they were indeed correct.  Xu Ge Lao's base camp in Nanzhili has indeed been divided into two factions!

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

    "It's from Yangzhou." Chen Hong nodded and said, "Yangzhou is in the north of the Yangtze River and is an important town on the Grand Canal."

    "Hmm." Long Qing stretched out his fingers to scratch out the notes and said, "He brought six officials from Jiangbei to support water transportation. This completely offended the officials from Jiangnan."

    "I heard that even officials from Zhejiang are determined to win the maritime transport, and Qing Yishui has given their support." Chen Hong added with jealousy.

    "Well" Long Qing still understood this.

    The biggest obstacle to Gao Gong¡¯s recovery is the current chief assistant Li Chunfang.  Now that Li Chunfang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials have parted ways over water transportation, there does seem to be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

    "However, these officials have changed a lot." But Long Qing has always been cautious. He thought about it and said: "I'm afraid that it will be Master Gao's turn later and they will wear another pair of trousers."

    "It's not impossible." Chen Hong said softly: "If you want to know how many conflicts they have, it's best to ask someone you trust." After saying that, he quickly clarified: "But the old slave and the foreign official  I don¡¯t have any contacts, so I don¡¯t know if there is anyone who is trustworthy and understands the inside story.¡±

    "Yeah, it's hard to find such a person" Long Qing also became worried.

    Chen Hong almost fell to the ground, thinking that it was very easy to find!  The person who best meets these conditions comes to the palace every now and then. You still want me to learn how to make short films from him

    Fortunately, Emperor Longqing was just slow to react. After a while, he finally slapped his forehead and said, "Why did I forget that boy? He is the one who is involved in the shipping matter. He must be clear! Hurry, let Zhao Hao enter the palace!"

    "Your Majesty, please be patient, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you right now." Chen Hong hurriedly persuaded with a wry smile: "Anyway, Mr. Zhao is going to the palace tomorrow to play a shadow show for the Crown Prince. It won't be too late to ask him then."

    "Well, that's true." Long Qing nodded in agreement and looked at Chen Hong with admiration: "Old Chen, why are you so bright today?"

    "This" Chen Hong suddenly sweated on his forehead, thinking that he had finished his performance.

    Fortunately, this hero also has teachings.  He quickly leaned over and cried: "Although the old slave was wrongly loved by the emperor and was ordered to be the chief of etiquette and pen writing, he has always remembered Taizu's ancestral teaching that 'eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics', so he has kept silent in the past. Today I really can't bear it anymore.  This old slave deserves death, your Majesty, please punish me!"

    "Hey, why should I punish you? It's too late to reward you." Long Qing was not so suspicious. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "It seems that Teng Xiang is not as good as you. What he said today  Come out. If all the ceremonial supervisors are like you, how can I be bullied by those ministers?"

    Chen Hong's face turned red immediately, and he kowtowed heavily in excitement: "As long as it can be of use to Lord Long Live, I am willing to be shattered to pieces!"
