I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 400 The debate in the palace

Qin Chi sat in the study and issued several orders overnight.

After that, he took a nap on the couch in the study room for a while, then got up and put on clean official robes to go to court. His steps were steady, and it was hard to tell that he had not rested all night.

Under the protection of the guards, he got on the carriage.

On the way, I saw several soft sedan chairs being carried towards the palace gate. Not all officials went to court in carriages, most of them chose to sit in sedan chairs, and their traveling style was far inferior to Qin Chi's. There are some officials of low rank and average family background who usually walk to go to the Yamen for duty.

The Qin family's carriage passed them.

Several officials gathered together.

Someone joked: "In terms of ostentation, the princes and nobles are not as good as our Lord Qin."

"Are you envious?" an official next to him asked with a smile.

The man shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, I'm not envious. I don't think I'm lucky enough to enjoy Mr. Qin's scenery."

"Huh, isn't that right? If anyone else had happened upon him, the grass on his grave would have grown half as tall as a person."

Who doesn't know that Qin Chi is being targeted, and he will be assassinated if he makes a mistake? This happens every two days. Civil and military officials have become accustomed to it. Qin Chi's assassins were all kinds of assassins, and anyone else would have died countless times.

Qin Chi is still alive and kicking.

All I can say is that this man has a tough life.

One person suddenly said: "I haven't heard of Mr. Qin's assassination for several days this time. Has the killer given up?"

"The ministers discussed state affairs in the palace for a few days. The assassin wanted to assassinate him in the palace, but he didn't have the ability."

“…”

The state affairs discussed at the court meeting were still about the rebels. The main thing is to discuss which official should be sent to negotiate.

There was a stalemate on this issue, and the atmosphere in the hall was very tense. This is a very dangerous chore, and good negotiation is a great achievement. If you are not careful, you may be regarded as a threat by the rebels.

Ninety percent of the civil servants in the imperial court did not want to go.

Everyone lowered their heads and tried to reduce their sense of presence.

Emperor Mingcheng sat on the dragon throne and stared majestically at the civil and military officials of the court. "No one has come forward. Are you willing to go to Jianning?"

The main hall was deathly silent.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty looked at the three pavilion elders and asked, "What candidates do the three beloved ministers have in mind?"

Li Huarong was about to answer.

Mr. Wen Ge was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, these opportunities for meritorious service should be given to young ministers. Therefore, I propose that Lord Qin Qi'an go there..."

"You fart!"

Li Huarong interrupted Mr. Wen Ge, pointed at Mr. Wen Ge and yelled, "You are such a shameless person. Isn't it just because Qin Qian refuted your face that you are so small-minded that you make random suggestions regardless of the overall situation? You don't Do you know that Qin Qi'an is an important minister in the court, or don't you know that he will be at the helm of the entire Ministry of Industry? You have to wonder if Mr. Wen Ge, who is rumored to be a polite and fair person, is just a false name."

Each of these curse words is more serious than the last.

Wen Ge was so angry that he pointed his finger at Li Huarong, his lips trembling from time to time, "You, you are spitting blood."

"It's better than you not being a human being."

Li Huarong sneered back.

Immediately, without waiting for Mr. Wen Ge to defend himself, Li Huarong bowed down and apologized to Emperor Ming Cheng, saying sincerely: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my gaffe. I am really too angry. After all, Mr. Qin is a young minister promoted by your Majesty. Wen Ge is the future pillar of our Great Xia Dynasty. The old man said he was giving him a chance to make meritorious deeds, but in fact he was pushing him to die. Who in the civil and military circles of the dynasty didn't know that he was assassinated by unknown forces every day? That’s it, can he still live without Beijing?”

Can one sentence still survive?

Emperor Mingcheng was also asked.

Everyone knows this, and it’s impossible to survive. Qin Chi lowered his head and lowered his eyelids without speaking.

In fact, no one suggested who should go.

Because whoever is mentioned is offended.

At this time, the clear-minded officials also knew that Mr. Wen Ge was a little biased. According to the convention, this kind of thing is similar to disaster relief. Usually, they are selected among fifth-rank officials. Their status is a little important but not very important. If they are the most powerful, they will be ranked fourth. Looking for product officials. Of course, ambitious officials may take the initiative to take orders and pursue a prosperous road.

No matter what, the important ministers in the court will not be allowed to go.

Qin Chi serves as Minister of Industry.

It is indeed inappropriate to suggest that he go to Jianning.

Qin Chi wondered whether Mr. Wen Ge had someone behind his back to suggest this at the court meeting.

But I didn't expect that Zhang Shilang would stand up and take the initiative to ask for help, "I would like to inform your majesty that I am willing to go and help your majesty solve your problems."

Someone actually took the initiative to stand up?

Everyone looked at the speaker in surprise.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

When they found out it was Mr. Zhang, someone immediately understood.

Zhang Shilang's situation in the court was very embarrassing.

When Jinyiwei investigated the Zhang family, various situations always came up. Not everyone suspected that the Zhang family was trying to avoid doing anything, but the investigation was complete and no clues related to the Zhang family were found. Now that rebels have appeared in Jianning, the Zhang family's case has been temporarily put on hold.

Yes, it was only temporarily put on hold, not withdrawn. Therefore, most officials in the court were not surprised that Zhang Shilang stepped forward to take charge of the matter.

If Mr. Zhang makes a meritorious service this time.

Then, the Zhang family's situation will get better.

Qin Chi stood out of the queue and bowed to Emperor Ming Cheng, "I have something to say, and I beg your Majesty's permission."

"That's right!" Emperor Ming Cheng said.

Qin Chi said honestly: "If I remember correctly, Minister Zhang is still a suspect. Although Your Majesty is kind and has not ordered him to go home and be grounded, he can be allowed to negotiate with the rebels. Who can guarantee that he is loyal to Your Majesty?" Isn't there someone else? Therefore, I object to Zhang Shilang taking on this important role."

"Qin Qi'an, you are going too far!"

Zhang Shilang was so angry that his veins bulged, "I, Zhang Zhilu, have been loyal to His Majesty for decades. How can I, a young boy like you, be able to slander you with just one or two words? I think you are the most suspicious! People kill you every day. Why didn’t I see you dead?”

"I, Qin Qi'an, live an honest life. I am worthy of heaven, and I am not humbled by others." Qin Chi said loudly, with clear and sharp eyes, "On the contrary, you Zhang family, dare to say that you are clean?"

"You, you..."

Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

Others look at the eyes and the nose and the heart.

Pretend you didn't hear the argument between the two.

Emperor Mingcheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair above, did not move. Instead, Jixiang approached Emperor Mingcheng and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something. I heard an old man in the palace say something before. Yes, when the late emperor was still alive, a daughter of the Zhang family was sent to the East Palace..."

Hearing this, Emperor Ming Cheng's pupils shrank fiercely, and his eyes were like daggers shot at Zhang Shilang, "Come here! Take Zhang Shilang to the Xing tribe, and I will also capture the entire Zhang family and put them in prison."

"No! Your Majesty is wronged!"

Zhang Shilang was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed vigorously to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty's loyalty to you is a lesson to heaven and earth. Don't let yourself be deceived by the treacherous minister. Then Qin Qi'an is not a good person... Hmm..."

The guards who came forward to drag him blocked Shilang Zhang's mouth, and then dragged him left and right out of the palace.
