Emperor Yongchang expressed his joy at Yan Shiqing's unexpected move.
Of course he knew about this, and he even knew who the person behind it was.
Prime Minister Shu Zuo's roots in the court were too deep to be shaken easily.
It's not like he hadn't thought of a way before. Every time he ordered an investigation, it always ended in vain.
If he is serious, he will always suffer in the end. Who lets his life be in someone else's hands?
But things are different now. If Ruyi brought it up on such an occasion, it would be most in line with his wishes.
In the past, if people from Prime Minister Jiang's side raised something, they would eventually get into a quarrel with Prime Minister Shu Zuo, and the quarrel would end in nothing.
Over time, it may have chilled the hearts of those who were loyal. In the end, they just maintained a neutral attitude, and more and more people moved closer to Ning Guo Gongfu.
Now that Ruyi is here, his life can be saved. Under such circumstances, if Ruyi says this again, he must do something.
Even if it is not said that it has the purpose of weakening Prime Minister Shu Zuo, it must at least be done to the Ningguo Duke's government who is standing behind Ruyi.
These people are all reserved for Brother Xuan in the future.
"Back to the emperor, it's absolutely true! Ruyi not only saw him when he went there, but also met him when he came back and passed by. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate."
Campbell had no idea what these people were arguing about. Before Emperor Yongchang could speak, she asked Yan Shiqing openly.
After Yan Shiqing told her about the iron ore mining in Funing Town, he went to see her and said, "Your Majesty Da Chu, Campbell can also testify that Tina is not wrong."
After Yan Shiqing translated Campbell's words, everyone's expressions changed.
This is no longer a matter of digging canals, but also involves minerals.
This time Da Chu was so embarrassed that he was really thrown abroad.xdw8
After hearing Yan Shiqing translate Campbell's words, Emperor Yongchang felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. There was a faint smile in his eyes, but his face was extremely gloomy.
"Is Captain Jiang here?"
As soon as Jiang Yunyi heard the call to him, he took a step forward and said, "I'm here!"
"I order you to investigate this matter immediately. Once you find out that the situation is true, all the people involved in the case will be detained in Beijing. If you encounter resistance, you can kill them first and then report them!"
He said, paused and added: "I will give you a Shangfang sword. Seeing the sword is like seeing me!"
"I obey the decree!"
As Emperor Yongchang finished speaking, Prime Minister Shu Zuo's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he narrowed his eyes when looking at Emperor Yongchang.
Haha, I thought I had the help and dared to confront him!
It seemed that he had lived too long and did not know what it was like to be on the verge of death.
However, with his vows like this, could it be that he really relied on Princess Ruyi's help, other than the heart-eating Gu?
No, it shouldn't be so. He was also ill when Princess Ruyi was here.
That being said, the poison on him is still there.
Thinking of this, he cast his eyes on Yan Shiqing.
The key person right now is Yan Shiqing.
As long as she is Ding Beiyu's child, everything is easy to say!
Yan Shiqing had been paying attention to Shu Zuoxiang out of the corner of her eye. When she saw him looking at her with a thoughtful expression, she knew that he was having bad ideas again.
"Your Majesty, what does Campbell say?"
Seeing that the previous topic had been changed, Yan Shiqing changed the topic back again.
It's a big deal to dig the canal. Today we have to tell the story of Chou Yinmao. Otherwise, after today, we won't know when the next time will be.
Emperor Yongchang's eyes became more and more kind when he looked at Yan Shiqing. Even Concubine Jiang Guifei came quietly and sat in his crotch without knowing when.
"My dear friends, what do you think about digging the canal? Let this envoy help, or..."
Emperor Yongchang directly raised the topic to the civil and military officials standing below.
Although he didn't finish what he said, everyone could tell that he actually intended to let the extra messenger intervene in this matter.
For this time, the group headed by Jiang Yunjing is naturally willing.
They would be happy to see Shu Zuoxiang and others defeated.
Just now, the emperor asked Taiwei Jiang to inspect the iron mines, so he had no scruples and faced Prime Minister Shu Zuo's men head-on.
This time Shu Zuoxiang will definitely cut off his arm, and one of them is his son.
If he still wants to deal with it as he did before, that is absolutely impossible.
Regarding digging canals, no matter what decision he made, he would only speed up the excavation.
I believe that within two or three years, the drought in Dachu will be alleviated, and by then no one will have to worry about drinking water.
Just when Jiang Yunjing and others seconded the proposal, Zuo Xiang's people once again began to refuse with various reasons.
Seeing that the situation in the DPRK had become like this, Wang Qingquan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, glanced at the fourth prince Chu Xihao, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think I can accept the help of this extra messenger. But this help has to have a prerequisite.
, there is no reason for us, the great Chu, to ask others to help us for nothing, right? We, the great Chu, will have to draw up a contract on what price they will pay and how long they will help."
Shu Zuoxiang and others didn't think so. In their opinion, they didn't even understand the language, let alone the writing, of the messenger.
If those people wanted to devour them, what restrictions would those words have?
Don't forget, people say that they have a weapon in their hands, and if something goes down, it can create a big hole.
You know, it's going to the ground. If it gets on someone, wouldn't it be gone even to pieces?
No, absolutely not!
This is clearly inviting the wolf into the house and must be rejected.
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate! This is related to the fate of the country of Chu. The digging of the canal is a matter of our country. There is no reason for extra messengers to interfere."
Emperor Yongchang looked at his poor expression and felt happy, but he couldn't express it. He had to show embarrassment and said: "If we don't ask this foreign envoy to help, how long will it take for the canals in Dachu to be dug?"
?When we signed the treaty of friendship between the two countries with the Hongwu Kingdom last year, I promised the envoys of the Hongwu Kingdom to interconnect the rivers and canals of the two countries within three years. Now half a year has passed, and the progress is really chilling. At this speed, let alone three years,
Even if it takes ten years, I may not be able to dig it out. Could it be that the left prime minister wants me to be a person who breaks my promise, and makes Hongwu Kingdom think that I, the great Chu, have no credibility?"
Shu Zuoxiang did not expect that Emperor Yongchang would put such a big hat on him. He was filled with hatred, but his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground with a thump of his legs.
"I don't dare! Your Majesty, I am very loyal to Da Chu, and I wholeheartedly do it for the good of Da Chu..."
Seeing that Shu Zuoxiang started talking endlessly again, Yan Shiqing impatiently cut off his words.
"Since Mr. Zuo Xiang is so loyal to Da Chu, what do you think should be done? There is no way that Hongwu Kingdom will look down on me, Da Chu!"
Although it is extremely impolite to interrupt someone's speech, Yan Shiqing could not control it so much.
