"Daxing has agreed to open the mutual market. It can start after the two countries sign a contract. But before that, we have to make some preparations. If Prince Gong's people come to interfere and interfere with it, it will inevitably affect the two countries.
Diplomatic relations. The opening of mutual trade at that time will not only not be a win-win situation, but may also be self-defeating."
Without waiting for their answers, Gu Chengyu began to talk about mutual trade. It was the duty of Honglu Temple to welcome envoys from other countries, but he remembered He Jisheng, who was the minister of Honglu Temple.
Although this person was not good in character, he still had some abilities. It was just that Gu Chengyu was afraid that he would get in the way, so he was always hesitant about this candidate.
"It has been several days. I plan to hand over the sign to meet the emperor. What do you think? Would you like to come with me?" Yu Zheng made up his mind today. He will never leave the palace without seeing the emperor.
.
As he was handing over the sign alone, he had little chance of meeting the saint. Naturally, he would have to deal with many officials. If the emperor still didn't see them today, he would be unable to kneel down. Since the beginning of the dynasty, unless the emperor was seriously ill, it would not be possible for him to take such a long time.
Time has passed since the courtiers were seen.
"Exactly! The emperor has not been in court for many days, and the ministers are discussing and having different opinions. If we don't see the emperor again today, we will not leave the palace." Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Punishment, turned his eyes and immediately agreed.
"Seconded!"
"Master Gu, on the order of the emperor, we summon Master Gu!" Xiao Quanzi entered the Wenhua Hall and suddenly interrupted everyone.
Gu Chengyu was a little confused. He had just met the emperor yesterday and reported the recent developments in the court. Why did the emperor want to see him again today?
"Since the emperor can see Gu Siqing, it means that the emperor is now in good health. Mr. Quan, please pass the news to us. We have not seen the emperor for several days. Nowadays, everything in the court is complicated, and it all depends on Gu Siqing.
Your Majesty conveys the Emperor's will, and sometimes we may not understand its meaning."
Yu Zheng turned his attention to Xiao Quanzi. Now that they had met, they were naturally even less likely to give up.
"The emperor has sent you to your Majesty because he has something important to tell you. The emperor's condition has been relapsing in the past few days, and he may need to recuperate for a few days." Xiao Quanzi secretly winked at Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu frowned, something seemed wrong.
.
"Since it is the emperor's summons, let's go!" Gu Chengyu turned around and walked out of the palace, and Xiao Quanzi immediately followed.
"Hmph! Don't you think things are a little strange?" Yu Zheng looked at Gu Chengyu's back and asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
"What do you mean by your words?" Tong Shunmin straightened his sleeves, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.
Everyone else also turned their attention to Yu Zheng, with different expressions.
"Why should everyone pretend to be deaf and dumb? In just a few days, Gu Chengyu has almost become Gu Chengyu's talking point in both the DPRK and China. Take the matter of Daxing sending envoys as an example. We only received the news after the envoys set off, and it was still
He told us personally. The border customs have started to implement the purchase of sons in another court, but we are still kept in the dark. Do you think the court still needs us now? I think everything is decided by him, so we
They have all become decorations. Oh! By the way, talking about this, I have one more thing that I am a bit confused about. This money was allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, so why didn’t the Ministry of Household Affairs declare it in advance? Even the Ministry of War didn’t know that the buyer belonged to the Ministry of War.
thing."
Yu Zheng sneered and turned his attention to Deng Wenshang. Logically speaking, for such a major matter, the Ministry of Revenue should not allocate money quietly, let alone the Ministry of War.
This Deng Wenshang is far worse than the previous Shen Shikang. No, maybe the other party has already taken refuge in Gu Chengyu? Yu Zheng suddenly thought.
"This matter is the emperor's personal order. How can I dare to disobey it? I can only deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but it is my turn to comment on the affairs of the Ministry of War."
Deng Wenshang was a little unhappy when he saw that everyone was turning against him. These people relied on their qualifications to be older than him, so they intentionally or unintentionally despised and excluded him.
In fact, he felt that it was these people who were confused. The emperor had made it clear that he wanted to re-employ Gu Chengyu, but if these people wanted to go against Gu Chengyu, wouldn't that be self-destruction?
He didn't expect to be the chief minister in the first place, but he was too happy to receive someone's money for the treasury, so how could he object? Some time ago, when he was just promoted, he saw the account books and the empty treasury, and he couldn't sleep all night with worry.
It is hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If the court needs silver, where will the money come from the treasury? Wasn't Shen Shikang scolded badly enough by the late emperor a few years ago?
Although Shen Shikang was the uncle of the state, the late emperor would not really do anything to him. But in front of all the civil and military officials, it was still extremely embarrassing to be scolded bloody.
And every time Shen Shikang was reprimanded by the emperor, other officials were also scolded. Therefore, every time he went to court, all the officials were nervous for fear of being implicated.
He didn't want to live such a life. Even though he was an official in the Ministry of Revenue before, he was often looked down upon by his ministers, but now that he has become a minister, no one can stand in his way.
Gu Chengyu had a way to earn money for the court, so why did he stop him? He had a happy-go-lucky temperament, and he was eager to have someone take care of him!
"Master Deng must have become friends with Gu Siqing, right? Otherwise, if you knew about his and the emperor's plans, why didn't you reveal them to us? This is a major matter related to the survival of Dayan. If the mutual market is really opened, Daxing will definitely use it in the future. This matter has frequently disturbed the border, even more rampant than now. We have developed a great country, are we still afraid that he will not be able to build a small country? Mr. Deng has no selfish motives. The six departments of ours should work together to resist external forces, otherwise they will There is no place for us in Japan and Korea."
Yu Zheng looked at Deng Wenshang with a serious expression on his face. At this point, he could only recruit a few more allies. From what it looks like now, is Deng Wenshang ingratiating himself with Gu Chengyu? Even if not, he still wants to take sides.
"It's absolutely true what Lord Yu said! This Gu Siqing is only a third-rank official. The emperor allowed him to enter the cabinet, but he really thinks of himself as a green onion. When the emperor takes back the nbn, I want to see if he can still He can't be as prosperous as he is now! His behavior in the past few days has damaged the interests of many courtiers. How can those people let him go? Let's wait and see!"
Yang Shiqi took advantage of the opportunity and quickly agreed. Looking at Yu Zheng's livid face, a smile flashed in his eyes.
Deng Wenshang coughed lightly, then smiled slightly, then picked up the memorial on the table and read it. These people were all smiling. He didn't want to get involved in the dispute, so it was better to stand aside and watch the show.
These people didn't need him before, so they ignored him. Now that they want to use him, they talk about working together, and all he wants to do is haha!
Seeing that Deng Wenshang did not express his position, the faces of several people darkened. If the six of them were united, Gu Chengyu would definitely be unable to do anything to them, but now that Deng Wenshang was obviously not of the same mind as them, the matter became difficult to handle.
