"What do you think of this disaster relief plan?"

Chu Yanwu looked at Master Cen and asked calmly.

"It's wonderful! If this strategy can be implemented, the loss of this disaster relief can be reduced by at least 50%, and more people can survive!"

Master Cen was extremely excited, "Your Majesty, the person who wrote this disaster relief plan is a great talent! The court needs to reuse him!"

After hearing these words, the other two old men became a little curious and stepped forward to look at the booklet.

Soon, they were all shocked by what was inside.

It's just that neither of them said anything important like Master Cen. Instead, they stood quietly aside and fell silent.

Who should be reused and what should be selected are not all based on talent.

It still depends on whether it can be controlled!

"Prime Minister Zhou, what do you think of Chen Daban?"

The two of them were silent, but Chu Yanwu took the initiative to ask.

"Replying to Your Majesty is indeed a good idea."

Prime Minister Zhou Tianfu cupped his hands and replied perfunctorily.

Such an attitude made Chu Yanwu frown, and turned to look at the last person, Chen Jin, the Grand Superintendent of Ceremonies of the Great Chu Division!

"His Majesty has the final say in everything."

Chen Jin smiled flatteringly.

Such behavior made Master Cen couldn't help but snort coldly. As a clear figure in the court, what he disliked the most was the appearance of this sycophantic villain, who had no character or integrity!

Chu Yanwu chuckled lightly, "This disaster relief plan was given to me by Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Shu?"

Master Cen frowned, "Your Majesty, is it really written by Concubine Shu? Please forgive me for being disrespectful. There are many things in this booklet, such as hygiene, coordination... I'm afraid Concubine Shu has never heard of it, so how can she write it? come out?"

"So, do you think someone else wrote this disaster relief plan?"

Chu Yanwu picked up the tea on the dragon table and took a sip.

"good!"

Mr. Cen nodded, "There are a lot of things in it. Unless someone comes from a poor background and has had the experience of starting up, I'm afraid it would be difficult to write about it."

Chu Yanwu smiled and said, "I think so too, and I still have a candidate in mind."

"who is it?"

"The little eunuch beside Concubine Shu, Xiao Chen."

"Who?! Xiao Chen!!"

Master Cen almost pulled off his beard when he heard the name.

Several people in the hall were a little surprised by Master Cen's reaction.

Chen Jin asked with a smile: "Master Cen, do you recognize this little eunuch? Given your status, this is surprising."

Do you recognize it?

More than just recognizing it, he still often takes out those eternal absolutes to study the last time he and Xiao Chen faced each other.

The more you look at it, the more amazing it becomes!

It took a while for Mr. Cen to exhale, but he ignored the flattering gelding. Instead, he looked at Chu Yanwu seriously, "Your Majesty! I can be sure that this disaster relief plan must have come from Xiao Chen's hand!"

"Oh? Why?"

Chu Yanwu smiled and became interested.

Master Cen glanced at Zhou Tianfu and Chen Jin, his old face became a little hot, "Your Majesty, there is something that I have been hiding from you..."

He put himself in a couplet at Diechi Palace, but lost to a young eunuch.

Wuyan told the story about going to give a lecture to the princess.

At the end of the sentence, Master Cen coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to recommend him to teach the princess, but I just thought of his status and was afraid of tarnishing the royal family, so I didn't mention it again."

After the words fell to the ground, there was silence in the Yangxin Hall.

Chu Yanwu squinted his eyes, and after a long time he chuckled inexplicably, "I didn't expect there to be such a talented person in this harem. Chen Jin, this was your oversight."

Plop!

Chen Jin directly knelt on the ground and said with great respect: "The old slave is guilty! He failed to discover talents in time. Your Majesty, rest assured that when the old slave returns, he will definitely reuse Xiao Chen!"

"Um……"

Chu Yanwu nodded, and just as he was about to continue saying something, a personal eunuch hurriedly walked in and sent a secret letter.

Under the somewhat puzzled eyes of several people in the palace, Chu Yanwu opened the secret letter and took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Haha, Chen Jin, you don't need to worry about it. The little eunuch is now the head of the sect's mansion and is also responsible for investigation and punishment. Zhao Jieyu’s affair case.”

Zhao Jieyu’s affair case?

Hearing these words, the three people below were shocked.

Although His Majesty's tone sounds light now, they all know how serious this matter is!

This is a serious crime that requires the whole family to be executed!

Chen Jin lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his cloudy eyes. He cared about more things. The eunuchs in the harem were all nominally under his control, but when a young eunuch joined the clan mansion, he didn't get anything. information……

The meaning of this is unusual.

"Okay, Xiao Chen's matter will be discussed later... Prime Minister."

Chu Yanwu's eyes fell on Zhou Tianfu.

"The old minister is here."

"This disaster relief issue will be left to you..."

Chu Yanwu had just finished speaking when Master Cen stood up and took the initiative to ask for help: "Your Majesty, let me help you with the disaster relief work."

Buzz!

After saying this, the expressions of several people in the palace changed.

Zhou Tianfu also had a smile on Gujing Wubo's face, "Does Master Cen not believe that I can handle this matter?"

"Huh, asking you to come to provide disaster relief is a waste of this good disaster relief strategy!"

Master Cen had a straight face and retorted directly without giving any face.

The Zhou family father and son control the court and have power over everything!

If this disaster relief task is left to them, I am afraid that the entire Zhou family officials will have to eat a lot, and the only thing left for the people will be Guanyin soil!

As the leader of the elite in the court, Master Cen has always been at odds with Zhou Tianfu.

Zhou Tianfu was not angry, but instead smiled and cupped his hands at Chu Yanwu, "Your Majesty, since Lord Cen wants to provide disaster relief, let him handle it."

"enough!"

Chu Yanwu patted Long An and glared at Mr. Cen, "As a high priest and in charge of the world's cultural context, is disaster relief your job? Prime Minister, I will allocate three million taels of silver to you from the treasury. Disaster relief!”

"As for the grand sacrificial wine, the Qi National Congress will send a special envoy over in a while, and I will leave this matter to you!"

Upon hearing the appointment, Master Cen was filled with dissatisfaction.

However, he also knew that since Chu Yanwu had made a decision, he would not change it, so he could only bow his hand and said, "Old minister, I obey!"

"Both of you, please step aside. You can stay, Daban."

Chu Yanwu waved his hands to the two of them impatiently.

Master Cen and Zhou Tianfu bowed and retreated slowly.

When the two left, Chu Yanwu's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly, "This old guy is getting more and more presumptuous!"

Chen Jin naturally understood who he was talking about, and immediately stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Cen is still loyal to Your Majesty."

"Of course I know he is loyal, but what does loyalty mean?"

Chu Yanwu's face was as dark as water, "As for those Qingliu and Yanguan under him, they are all useless! Let him go to disaster relief? Does he have the ability? And your Dongchang and Jinyiwei are also controlled by the Zhou family ! Is this great Chu my great Chu, or his Zhou family’s great Chu?!”

Chen Jin quickly knelt down and said in fear, "This slave is guilty!"

Chu Yanwu waved his dragon robe, his eyes full of majesty. He needed a knife, a knife that could deal with the Zhou family!

It's a pity that this old guy Chen Jin is loyal, but he is a dull knife!

He needs young, sharp knives!

Suddenly, a name came to mind.

Chu Yanwu lowered his eyes and said, "Chen Jin, please pay more attention to Xiao Chen. If this case is handled well, bring him to see me."
