Chapter 26

Yu Qing hurriedly asked, "My lord, is there something wrong with the imperial decree?"

Du Shangshu thought for a moment and came to the corner of the main hall, "Look, if I die in the future, no one will know where the sacred decree is."

After all, Dushangshu counted and tapped the wall bricks in the fifth column and the seventh row.I saw the floor tiles against the wall bounce up a little bit, and a dark space appeared with a hard push.

A package was taken out, and Du Shangshu carefully placed it on the table.

"This thing hasn't been seen for a long time." Dushang sighed, looking at the dusty package.

Yu Qing was about to reach out to open the package, but Du Shangshu picked up the package faster than him, leaving him empty.

Yu Qing asked suspiciously, "My lord, what is this?" At the same time, he thought, there is no real problem, right?This reaction is not right.

Seeing that there was no other way, Du Shangshu opened the package and said, "Something happened, and the imperial decree became two copies."

Hearing this, Yu Qing was still a little dazed, but was taken aback when he saw the things.

The yellow cloth, the embroidered dragon, and the red printed corner cover looked fine together, but the imperial decree in front of Yu Qing was split in two, split in the middle.

The break is very irregular, and there is a trace of jumper, which is obviously artificial.

At this time, Yu Qing thought to himself, it's over and abolished, will the torn imperial decree still work?I asked online, it was quite urgent.

Yu Qing took the "two copies" of the imperial edict with trembling hands and looked at it, "Sir, do such imperial edicts still count?"

Du Shangshu shook his head and said, "Who knows about this thing, it stands to reason that the imperial decree will be backed up in the palace for reference, but His Majesty has the final say."

Both Yu Qing and Du Shangshu sighed at the same time, and Yu Qing asked, "Does anyone know?"

Du Shangshu said seriously, "You and I are the only people alive who know this."

Hearing this, Yu Qing was taken aback for a moment, it looked like it must have been torn apart before, and everyone who knew about it was probably dead.

Yu Qing asked cautiously, "My lord, do you know how this was done? It looks like it was man-made."

Du Shangshu coughed lightly and said, "It seems that my grandfather got ripped off in a fit of anger after receiving the imperial decree."

Yu Qing reluctantly put down the imperial decree, "My lord, it's good that God knows this matter, you know me, I don't want to be picked peaches."

Du Shangshu nodded solemnly, wrapped up the imperial decree and put it back to its original place.

"I'm old, and I don't care about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry with the identity problem, so you can do it yourself."

Yu Qing nodded, and then left with An Guangze.

On the way, An Guangze wanted to ask what he said several times, but he didn't.

"Guangze, Mr. Shangshu's house is so deserted, does he have no family?" Yu Qing asked suspiciously.

"Reporting to my lord, no."

Yu Qing nodded and separated from An Guangze at the intersection, and went straight back to his mansion.

"Hey, you still know how to come back." As soon as Yu Qing entered the door, he heard Xi Kaijie's voice, followed by Mao Mao who rushed over.

Yu Qing kicked directly according to the usual practice, Maomao flew into the air again, thinking who am I?where am I?
"Uncle Xi, don't you want to get something? The Ministry of Industry has more than a hundred mouths waiting."

Yu Qing hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Uncle Xi, how is the salt production going?"

Xi Kaijie became excited when he mentioned this, "It was sold this morning, and it was sold out in a short time after the price was low. I have already ordered to speed up the salt production."

"By the way!" Xi Kaijie said with a worried face, "It is estimated that the two salt manufacturers already know about it, and you will probably be besieged at court tomorrow."

"Why? Some of them are also officials?"

Xi Kaijie shook his head, "The two families are at the bottom and no one is in a high position, but they can't help but have money, who doesn't have many friends."

Early the next morning, Yu Qing came to court early.Unexpectedly, as soon as they saw him, some ministers began to point and whisper something.

At first Yu Qing was still a little curious, but unfortunately he was too far away to hear what he was saying, so Yu Qing gave up.

The servant shouted, and everyone walked into the hall to salute. The morning went on as usual, but those who were well-informed felt the oppressive atmosphere.

Sure enough, some people began to stand up, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Su Boxiu nodded and thought, has it started yet?
"Your Majesty, I want to play Yu Qing, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, to oppress the people and use power for personal gain!"

"Hey, this lord is too serious." Before Su Boxiu could speak, Yu Qing stood up by himself, "Did I build a house for myself, or did I not pay for the expropriation?"

"You make salt at such a low price that the people who originally made the salt can't sell it at all. Aren't you oppressing the people and taking profits from them?"

Hearing this, Yu Qing laughed, "My lord, salt making is not very expensive, so it's normal for the price to be low."

"Besides, I didn't take advantage of the people. It was the former Yuyang defender Xi Kaijie's business, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing that the Yu family pushed two, five, and six to clean up, the man couldn't help but said, "No one in the entire imperial capital knows the relationship between the two of you!"

"A good relationship doesn't mean anything! Am I on his family tree, or is he on my family tree?"

Yu Qing and the ministers who jumped out one after another talked to each other, while Su Boxiu sat firmly on the dragon chair and watched the excitement.

Let's make a fuss, make a fuss!If you don't fight, I will be the one who suffers.

At this moment, Yu Qing felt that he had started the mode of verbal war against Confucianism. He spat against several people, although he did not lose, but at this moment he was the only one feeling thirsty.

"Your Majesty!" Yu Qing looked at Su Boxiu and said pitifully, "Can I have a glass of water?"

Su Boxiu nodded with a smile, and his own servant handed him a glass of water, and Yu Qing drank it down in one gulp, feeling like he wanted another glass.

"Give him the water bottle and let him drink." Su Boxiu was delighted to see the scene in front of him, and at the same time, he wanted to see if Yu Qing could stop these people.

"Your Majesty, Yu Qing, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is rude to ask His Majesty for water, which is really against the law of etiquette."

After drinking the water in the glass, Yu Qing asked, "I wonder who this lord is?"

"This old man is Kong Yuheng, the Minister of Rites."

"Master Kong." Yu Qing said while drinking water as if showing off, "The law says that you can't ask for water. I am His Majesty's family. You have enough to drink."

For a while, countless adults joined the battle, but Yu Qing was pointed out by thousands of people and still stood there firmly, looking like a general.

For a while, everyone was indistinguishable, all tired but no one stopped, and if they stopped, they would admit defeat.

Yu Qing couldn't bear it at first, this thing was too wasteful, so he asked, "Okay, okay, my lords. If that's the case, then I want to ask, what do you want?"

The hall fell silent in an instant, several ministers met each other's eyes, and finally a person who never spoke came out from the corner.

All eyes were on that young man for a moment, while Yu Qing was full of doubts, who is this guy?He didn't scold him just now.
