"Prime Minister, how did the prince and Su Jing come to Qingzhou Mansion?"
In the prime minister's house, Hu Weiyong asked Li Shanchang.
This morning's meeting was really too shocking.
How many days have passed since the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Prince Zhu Biao suddenly appeared in Qingzhou Mansion, and no one among the ministers even had time to care about the prince's safety.
Just because Su Jing is in charge of the current plague prevention and control work in Qingzhou Prefecture.
This matter is much more serious than Zhu Biao's case in Qingzhou Mansion.
Plague has been around since ancient times.
The worse the environment, the easier it is to breed.
Therefore, most of those affected by the plague were poor people.
Now that Prince Zhu Biao has been confirmed to be in Qingzhou Mansion and has arrived at the government office, the safety issue is actually okay.
The most important thing is Su Jing's matter.
Everyone in the entire court could feel that Zhu Yuanzhang paid more and more attention to Su Jing.
For most of the courtiers, this was a new threat.
Now, Su Jing can actually control a mansion.
This is not good news.
Of course, there are people like Cui Liang who want to arrest Su Jing purely because of the incompatibility of etiquette and law.
But among those who agree with Cui Liang, there are naturally people who have other thoughts.
"I don't know, but His Majesty must have known about this matter for a long time."
Li Shanchang said calmly, very calmly.
Today in the court, he was also the one who spoke the most calmly.
Hu Weiyong nodded: "Yes, His Majesty must know the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, when Su Jing and His Highness the Crown Prince went to Qingzhou Mansion, it was not because of the plague, but just a chance encounter."
With a simple analysis, Hu Weiyong restored the general appearance of the matter.
"But why did His Highness the Crown Prince and Su Jing go to Qingzhou Mansion?"
Hu Weiyong was confused again.
Li Shanchang shook his head and said: "Weiyong, this is not important. The question now is, Su Jing is in charge of the plague prevention and control in Qingzhou Prefecture. Is he capable of doing this well?"
What Su Jing and Zhu Biao want to do is no longer the most important thing.
"What the Prime Minister said is that this matter is indeed critical."
Hu Weiyong followed Li Shanchang's words and said: "If Su Jing cannot do this well, then His Majesty will definitely punish Su Jing due to the pressure of the ministers."
"Even if His Highness the Crown Prince intercedes, all the things His Majesty has done for Su Jing will probably be of no use. There will no longer be a place for Su Jing in the Ming Dynasty, at least not now."
"But if Su Jing really does it well, then things will be different."
Hu Weiyong didn't finish his words, but Li Shanchang obviously understood what he meant.
As long as Su Jing can do this well, it will be a great achievement.
At that time, it is a matter of course to enter the Ming Dynasty Hall.
With the strong support of Zhu Yuanzhang, it will quickly become a new force.
Used to fight against the Huaixi Group headed by him.
"Wei Yong, do you think Su Jing can do this well?"
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong and asked.
Hu Weiyong was silent for a while and replied: "I don't know, but I hope Mr. Su can give us a surprise. After all, it would be best if we can save the hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture."
Hu Weiyong said it beautifully.
No matter what, it is the people of Qingzhou Prefecture who are suffering now.
Even if you don't think Su Jing can do this, you can't say it casually.
A dignified official in the imperial court, because of his own selfish desires, must ignore the common people?
This is definitely not possible!
It's okay to save face.
Li Shanchang nodded slightly, still very satisfied with Hu Weiyong's answer.
"Wei Yong, if you have this awareness, I will feel relieved."
Li Shanchang asked again: "However, I also want to ask you, do you think Su Jing wants to enter the court?"
Don't ask Qingzhou Prefecture, just ask Su Jing.
As long as Su Jing takes over the court, she will inevitably become Li Shanchang's opponent.
Become an opponent of the entire Huaixi Group.
There may be some personal relationship disputes, but the general direction will not change.
Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Mr. Su, a man of great talent, will definitely enter the court!"
"Oh, tell me what you think."
Li Shanchang asked with a smile. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with this answer.
Hu Weiyong replied: "Prime Minister, you have taught my subordinates before that Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. He will not be evil if he can."
"All my subordinates will keep it in mind. Mr. Su can be so valued by the Prime Minister. Entering the court is nothing more than a trivial matter."
Although Hu Weiyong has a high status now, he is not yet the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no such thing as arrogance and domineering in him.
He is very good at pretending to be a grandson.
"Wei Yong, this is not what I want to hear."
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong, with a different meaning in his words.
Hu Weiyong looked into Li Shanchang's eyes and hesitated for a while before replying: "Prime Minister, I have only a humble opinion. If there is anything wrong, please correct me."
Obviously, Hu Weiyong realized that Li Shanchang was asking him about something core.
Li Shanchang said nothing, just looked at Hu Weiyong and waited silently.
Hu Weiyong said: "Prime Minister, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is that we in Huaixi are the most prosperous, and the eastern Zhejiang faction headed by Uncle Chengyi still has some momentum."
"But since Uncle Cheng Yi resigned, our Huaixi voice has become more and more important in the court."
"It seems like this is a good thing for us to grow stronger, but in fact it's also a hidden danger. From His Majesty's point of view, he definitely doesn't want our family to be the only one."
"This Su Jing is the new opponent His Majesty has arranged for us. As the saying goes, if the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked."
"Only when Su Jing enters the court and establishes a firm foothold can our position be stabilized."
"So, Su Jing must enter the court!"
Hu Weiyong made a precise analysis and finally said what was in his heart.
He glanced at Li Shanchang carefully, feeling a little uneasy inside.
This is a gamble!
What Hu Weiyong said was already speculating on the holy will.
If Li Shanchang backhandedly complained to Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Weiyong would not be able to survive in the Ming Dynasty.
It is possible to figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, but it would be wrong to say it directly.
However, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang have been deeply bound.
Although it was a bet, Hu Weiyong had nothing to lose.
"Mediocre."
Li Shanchang shouted towards Hu Weiyong.
"I am here."
Hu Weiyong replied immediately.
Li Shanchang continued: "The fact that you can say this means that you have really seen it clearly, and I feel relieved. I hope you can always remember what you said today, and you will not forget it when you sit in my position. "
At present, the Huaixi faction in the Ming Dynasty is headed by Li Shanchang, the left prime minister.
Liu Bowen has already retreated, so it’s time for him to retreat as well.
If you hold on to it without leaving it, you are asking for trouble.
"The Prime Minister's words are serious."
Hu Weiyong said: "With your Majesty's trust in the Prime Minister, no one can replace this Prime Minister."
Li Shanchang smiled and said: "Weiyong, you are not talking about what you mean now. You analyzed it so thoroughly just now, so you can't see through this."
Hu Weiyong had a thorough understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Shanchang was relieved.
"As for the Prime Minister, Weiyong has always stood firmly by the Prime Minister's side!"
Hu Weiyong immediately expressed his loyalty. He could endure it before he became the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty Zuo!
…
Ministry of Rites.
Cui Liang's head hurt a little.
What happened with Su Jing made him very surprised.
This majestic Qingzhou Prefecture was directly managed by Su Jing.
Are the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty still there?
It’s just a joke!
Therefore, he is very strong in the court and is also the one who leads the charge.
As the Minister of Rites, this is what he should do.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was very ordinary.
Although he said that Su Jing would be severely punished, that was only under the premise that Su Jing was not in a good position to do things.
In other words, if Su Jing can really prevent the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture.
That……
It’s scary just thinking about it!
Although Su Jing's identity has not yet been disclosed in the court, it is certain that her background is not very good.
After all, all the powerful families and people of the Ming Dynasty are here, and there are only so many awesome people named Su.
If Su Jing really has an extraordinary family background, she can't hide it.
Therefore, Su Jing was of ordinary origin and had no official position.
Just because he taught Prince Zhu Biao, he was able to serve as the magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Etiquette-wise, it doesn't make sense.
But the matter involved the prince again, and Zhu Yuanzhang even let it go.
Even if he, the Minister of Rites, was dissatisfied, he could only hold it in.
"grown ups."
Shijiabao came to Cui Liang, who was also present at today's morning court.
But he didn't say anything. Now he was still thinking about asking Zhu Yuanzhang to downplay his memory, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"What's up?"
Cui Liang glanced at Shijiabao and said impatiently.
Shijiabao said: "Sir, these are the sales accounts from the last issue of Minbao, as well as some statistical data. They are all here."
Since being confused by Zhu Yuanzhang's question on the spot, Cui Liang has been very strict with the sales of civilian newspapers.
Everything you need to know!
But a similar situation cannot happen again.
"Well, I understand. If nothing happens, you can go down."
Cui Guangming nodded.
Shijiabao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Sir, are you worried about the matter of Su Jing in Qingzhou Prefecture?"
Cui Liang opened his eyes, looked at Shijiabao and said, "Shijiazhuang, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it."
"No, no, sir, I don't dare to do that."
Shijiabao hurriedly said: "Sir, I just feel that there is no need to worry about Su Jing's matter."
Um?
Cui Liang frowned and said, "Shi Lang, what do you mean?"
He really doesn't understand the meaning of Shijiabao. After all, Shijiabao is also the Minister of Rites, so he doesn't understand the etiquette matters.
Shijiabao immediately explained: "Sir, the epidemic in Qingzhou Prefecture is a foregone conclusion. If Su Jing cannot solve it, your Majesty will naturally punish him."
"If he solves it, it will be a great achievement and the people of Qingzhou Prefecture will have great merits. Even if it is not allowed by etiquette and law, then who will care?"
"So, no matter what the matter is, it actually has nothing to do with our Ministry of Etiquette, and there is no need for you to worry."
Shijiabao said it straightforwardly, but the truth is indeed the truth.
The etiquette that Cui Liang was obsessed with was no longer that important in this matter.
Even those who support Cui Liang today, few have the same idea as Cui Liang.
Above the court, it is not about fighting and killing.
Cui Liang fell silent after listening to Shijiabao's words.
"You are right, there is no need to worry about this matter, just wait for the result."
Cui Liang raised his head and looked at Shijiabao, his eyes a little more brilliant.
I was a little too persistent and failed to see the current situation clearly.
"It's just a bystander's idea. The adults must have known about it, but they just didn't think of it for a while."
Shi Jiabao said with a smile, he is good at flattering.
Cui Liang asked: "Then based on what the Minister of the World has seen, can Su Jing be able to solve the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture?"
The plague is the most important thing that needs to be solved at the moment.
The result of the treatment is not only related to Su Jing's fate, but also the fate of countless people in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Shi Jiabao thought carefully and recalled everything he knew about Su Jing.
Actually not much.
Although Su Jing had been rumored in the court before, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate concealment, very little information was actually exposed.
Only recently did some information leak out.
"I think this Mr. Su might really be able to handle it."
Shijiabao looked at Cui Liang and replied.
"Why? According to rumors, Su Jing is not very old. He is just a businessman and has never held any official position. The Qingzhou Prefecture is so vast, and the plague has been a problem since ancient times. Why does the Shishi Lang think that Su Jing Jing can handle it."
Cui Liang continued to ask and told what he knew.
Why can Su Jing solve the plague problem in Qingzhou Prefecture?
Shijiabao smiled and said, "Sir, you can't look at this matter like this."
"Oh, what should I think of that?"
Cui Liang asked curiously.
Shi Jiabao said: "Your Majesty must know the news about Su Jing that you just mentioned, and he knows more than us, but what did Your Majesty say?"
"This matter has already begun, let Su Jing continue to do it! What does this mean? It means that His Majesty does not think that Su Jing will definitely screw up. This matter is possible in His Majesty's mind."
"Looking at His Royal Highness, Jia Shaozu, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, can decisively give up his prefectural power to Su Jing. Needless to say, it must be the order of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Our Highness the Crown Prince is not a mediocre person. Everyone in the court does not admit that His Highness the Crown Prince will become a good emperor in the future. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's kindness and love for the people are not only known to the officials, but also to the common people."
"How can Su Jing, whom the prince trusts so much, have no ability at all? Not to mention that he has been the prince's teacher for the past six months. His Royal Highness knows his abilities best."
"Isn't it natural that the people His Highness the Crown Prince trusts can handle this plague?"
Shijiabao's rational analysis does not look at Su Jing, but from the perspective of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, the father and son, the current and future controllers of the Ming Dynasty.
It really gave me a thorough look at things.
This is completely different from the previous family treasure that held the golden elixir and was reluctant to throw it away!
Cui Liang listened to Shi Jiabao's analysis and nodded: "Jia Bao, it seems that the position of Minister of Rites will still be yours in the future!"
