Above the court.
The old emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking tired.
The eunuch standing next to him is no longer Ruian, but the emperor's confidant - Eunuch Pingde!
The emperor lowered his head and sat the Eight Wise Kings.
The Eight Wise Kings looked gloomy.
Eunuch Pingde said loudly: "If you have the foundation to start the memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat from the court."
The Eight Wise Kings have the foundation and are just about to stand up.
Then An Sihai stood up aggressively and shouted: "I have my roots, and I want to join Zhang Yongwu, the general of the country."
Zhang Yongwu trembled with fright.
Holy shit, this old man is targeting me.
Where have I offended you?
You old thing!
Zhang Yongwu stood up hurriedly: "An Sihai, you have lost your mind and you are finding fault with me."
Yan Qi immediately stood up: "What does General Zhang mean? Mr. An is the censor of Zuodu, the head of the censors, and has the right to supervise all officials. Not to mention that censor An can participate in General Zhang's performance, even his status Yang Ke, who is above you, also has the right to participate."
After hearing this, Zhang Yongwu was very unhappy.
Especially the last sentence.
Obviously telling the officials that his status is not as good as Yang Ke.
Yang Ke snickered in his heart and coughed lightly: "Well... General Zhang, Mr. An is the censor of Zuodu. No matter who joins, it is the right thing to do. General Zhang calm down for the time being and stay in a good mood."
"snort!"
Zhang Yongwu snorted and was in a bad mood: "Prime Minister Yang is making sarcastic remarks?"
Yang Ke was even more reluctant: "Is General Zhang questioning me? Where is the mistake in what I said? Please point it out now."
"I'll show you..."
Zhang Yongwu is excited and wants to compete with Yang Ke.
When the Eighth Sage King saw his two dogs starting to fight, he hurriedly stopped them: "How can there be such a noise in the court hall? Get out of here."
"yes!"
Only then did Zhang Yongwu and Yang Ke retreat.
Neither of them likes each other.
Yan Qi smiled slightly when he saw this.
Just now, it was just a small test.
He could see that Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu really didn't get along.
In other words, the Eight Wise Kings suppressed them.
Otherwise, how could these two people urinate into the same pot?
The old emperor had already learned some news from Gao Shangtian, pointed to An Sihai, and said to Mr. Pingde: "Send the book to me.
Come up. "
"yes!"
Eunuch Pingde took the fold from An Sihai and respectfully presented it to the old emperor.
The old emperor slowly opened it.
An Sihai said: "Your Majesty, Wen Long, the fourth-rank military officer, allocated 30,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the name of making winter clothes. In fact, Wenlong only used 10,000 taels to make winter clothes, and the remaining 20,000 taels were used by him. Lining your own pockets.”
"I have conclusive evidence to prove this matter. This is evidence and the investigation is clear."
An Sihai presented the evidence again.
Eunuch Pingde presented the evidence to the old emperor.
After the old emperor verified it, he asked An Sihai: "This matter was done by Wen Zheng. Why did you participate in General Zhang's performance?"
An Sihai said: "This matter was signed by General Zhang himself, and the application for the allocation of 30,000 taels of silver was also filled in by General Zhang. Now, if something goes wrong, who else can we turn to but General Zhang?"
Zhang Yongwu had forgotten about it and was confused.
The military expenditure of 30,000 taels of silver was really a drop in the bucket for him.
In his eyes, this thing is not even a drop in the bucket.
He would treat anyone to dinner casually, and he would charge ten thousand dollars.
For a while, he couldn't remember these things.
However, Zhang Yongwu was itching with hatred.
An Sihai, a dead old man, you went to war for thirty thousand taels of silver and asked me to give you a copy in the court.
Moreover, I just signed, and I didn’t spend the money. Why are you meddling with me?
Are you bored with your time?
Zhang Yongwu immediately stepped forward: "Yushi An, I think this matter is too trivial and should not be defended in court. It should be resolved at my military headquarters, and I will investigate the matter in detail."
Yan Qi stood up: "Does General Zhang want to make a big deal out of a big deal?"
Zhang Yongwu sneered: "It's just a matter of thirty thousand taels of silver, what kind of big deal is it?"
Yan Qi was shocked: "General Zhang is so heroic. Thirty thousand taels of silver is not a big deal? Let me tell you, thirty thousand taels of silver is enough to kill 30,000 soldiers in uniforms. Do you think it is a big deal?"
"Besides, military pay is no small matter, how can you squander it wantonly? You are the leader of the military department. If you don't even take thirty thousand taels of silver in your eyes and follow the example, then how can you do it? Why don't the people below follow the same example? Isn’t it true that there is an evil atmosphere in the military department?"
When the old emperor heard this, his face immediately darkened: "General Zhang, Yan Aiqing is right! Military pay
It’s no big deal, you can’t be so impetuous. If the soldiers really follow the example and follow the example, your responsibility is not small. "
Zhang Yongwu realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the direction: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was in a hurry just now and said the wrong thing."
"Actually, what I mean is that Yushi An is very responsible for investigating the military pay issue, and I admire him very much!"
"It's just that there are still many important matters waiting to be resolved in the imperial court. As for the issue of the thirty thousand military pay, I can just go to the military department to handle it, so there is no need to waste the emperor's time."
"The Emperor is in poor health and has many things to do every day. If he is overworked because of this matter, how can he be so embarrassed?"
The Eighth Sage King had a strong sixth sense and realized that something was wrong. He quickly stood up and blocked Zhang Yongwu's gun.
"Your Majesty, I think General Zhang's words are very reasonable. The imperial court has limited time and has to resolve major issues. It is better to leave the rest of the matters to the people below. Otherwise, what other platforms are there for the Cabinet, the Ministry of Secretariat, and the Military Aircraft Department? What's the use? Is it all just decoration?"
The old emperor did not express his position and looked at Yan Qi.
Yan Qi came out again to give the final word.
"The Eight Wise Kings are right. The time for deliberation is limited. Of course, the best should be selected. However, since Yushi An is participating in the imperial court, it must have a beginning and an end. How can it be an unsolved case?"
"Moreover, I think that if this matter is not handled well and suppressed, wouldn't the officials suspect that Yushi An and General Zhang had made some shady deal in private? This is a violation of Yushi An's Contempt is also an injustice to General Zhang. Your Majesty, please think twice about your choice."
The old emperor had a grand reason and was full of confidence: "Yan Aiqing is right. General Zhang is the pillar of the country, and Yushi An is the official of the Qing Dynasty. If I don't care about this matter, leave it to the people below. Doesn’t it tarnish the noble character of General Zhang and Yushi An?”
"I think this matter should be resolved in the court."
The Eight Sage King's cheeks bulged with anger, and he sat down angrily.
He stared at Yan Qi and felt it in his heart.
No wind, no wave.
Yan Qi is clearly trying to cause trouble.
I'm using An Sihai to cause trouble.
The old emperor stared at Zhang Yongwu: "General Zhang, please investigate this matter immediately."
Although Zhang Yongwu felt very unlucky.
However, this little thing was insignificant to him.
It's just that things are a little troublesome.
