Chapter 259
Then I won’t stop you
Author: Xi Yueshi
In the evening, the study room of Tianqi Palace.
Jiang Peiyuan in the hall lowered his head and waited quietly, feeling the cold air behind Long's case, with contempt in his eyes.
After a long time, Emperor Mingxi suppressed the anger in his eyes and asked: "Pei Yuan, do you know what they found?"
Jiang Peiyuan still shook his head and replied: "Back to the emperor, I don't know yet. However, I have sent people down to investigate in detail, and there will be news soon."
Emperor Mingxi shouted angrily: "Okay, go check it out right away. I want to see who it is? He has such ability without telling me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Peiyuan bowed his head and responded, with a cold flash in his eyes.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, there is no smoke without fire. I'm afraid there is a reason for the other party's behavior. Can the court arrange for officials to go down and conduct a thorough investigation?"
After hearing this, Emperor Mingxi fell into deep thought after the Long case. After a long time, he said: "Okay, I will immediately issue an order to have Zhao Yukun go down and conduct a thorough investigation."
Jiang Peiyuan bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the examination and discipline of officials across the country. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it is indeed appropriate for Mr. Zhao to go. However, Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao may have to wait for a few more days before he has to go on errands."
Emperor Mingxi was instantly confused: "Pei Yuan, why do you say that?"
Jiang Peiyuan said awkwardly: "Back to the emperor, when I just entered the palace, I saw from a distance that Mr. Zhao was injured in front of the palace gate, and the fall was quite serious."
Emperor Mingxi exclaimed instantly: "What?"
Then he slapped the dragon case and cursed angrily: "Useless thing! If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can!"
Jiang Peiyuan continued: "Your Majesty, as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is reasonable for Mr. Zhao to be responsible for this matter. However, if he waits for his injury to improve before going, I am afraid it will delay this matter."
"But now the cold winter is coming, and I have many things to deal with, and I can't get away to deal with this matter."
"Your Majesty, do you want to rearrange the arrangements for others?"
Emperor Mingxi nodded and said: "What Pei Yuan said is reasonable. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
While the two were talking, Eunuch Li Yue hurriedly walked in, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the guard at the palace gate handed this in. It was said that Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, requested it."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingxi said angrily: "Zhao Yukun did not fall to death!"
Li Yue trembled instantly and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, I heard that Mr. Zhao fell down in front of the palace gate and was in a very embarrassed state."
"But I also heard that because he had something important to report to the emperor, he asked a doctor to treat his injury directly next to the palace gate."
"He also asked someone to come in with a letter. He said that he was asking for the emperor's permission to enter the palace with his injuries to face the saint."
Emperor Mingxi was confused for a moment and shouted angrily: "Since you are injured, just go back to your home to recuperate, why bother!"
"Yes, I will go and deliver the message immediately." Eunuch Li Yue hurriedly accepted the order.
At this moment, Jiang Peiyuan said: "Your Majesty, I just saw that Mr. Zhao was seriously injured, and I advised him to return home for treatment first."
"But Mr. Zhao, you still want to go to the palace to see him."
"Is it possible that what he wants to report is really important, so he did this!"
Emperor Mingxi just suppressed the anger in his heart: "That's all, let him come in."
Li Yue just walked to the palace gate. Hearing this, he turned around quickly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will go right away."
With that said, he hurriedly left the imperial study room.
After a moment, Emperor Mingxi continued: "Pei Yuan, since it is a matter of supervising the Water Supervision, let Shen Siyuan handle it."
"This..." Jiang Peiyuan looked confused for a moment.
Emperor Mingxi asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Shen Siyuan?"
Jiang Peiyuan bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, when the Yunbai River broke its embankment in Yunzhou, Shen Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was responsible for his negligence."
"The post-disaster reconstruction of Yunzhou is not over yet. If Shen Siyuan is asked to take the lead in taking charge of this matter at this time, will it not be enough of a deterrent?"
Emperor Mingxi fell silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What Pei Yuan said is true."
After a long time, Emperor Mingxi said again: "Then let Su Mingyuan take charge. However, Su Mingyuan is not familiar with the affairs of supervising the water supervision, so let Shen Siyuan assist him. Pei Yuan, what do you think?"
Jiang Peiyuan bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes as he lowered his head... Zhao Yukun! Shen Siyuan! Emperor Mingxi, this is your idea!
But he said: "Master Su is originally affiliated with the Ministry of Personnel and is ranked as the Left Assistant Minister. It is reasonable for him to handle this matter on behalf of the Ministry of Personnel and Mr. Shen to assist in the matter."
"Your Majesty, I will prepare the relevant documents tonight and hand them over to Mr. Su tomorrow so that Mr. Su can investigate the matter as soon as possible."
"Yes." Emperor Mingxi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Pei Yuan."
Jiang Peiyuan immediately bowed and replied: "It is the duty of a minister to share the emperor's worries. Don't worry, the emperor, Pei Yuan will definitely find out the secret investigation as soon as possible. The minister will retire first."
Emperor Mingxi nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."
Jiang Peiyuan bowed, turned and left.
At this moment, Li Yue hurriedly walked in, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is already outside the palace."
Emperor Mingxi's voice turned cold and he said: "Let him come in."
Outside the Imperial Study Room.
As soon as Jiang Peiyuan walked out of the palace, he saw Zhao Yukun waiting in front of him from a distance.
He walked forward and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Yukun quickly bowed and saluted: "Prime Minister Jiang."
Jiang Peiyuan nodded and smiled, and said: "Master Zhao, since the emperor has agreed to your meeting, go quickly."
After saying that, he turned around and left, with a flash of anger in his eyes... Zhao Yukun, since you are so determined not to give up, I won't stop you.
Inside the royal study.
Seeing the injured Zhao Yukun, Emperor Mingxi after the Long Case looked unhappy and shouted angrily: "Zhao Yukun, why are you in such a hurry to enter the palace?"
Zhao Yukun hurriedly bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, I have received the news. I heard that someone is secretly investigating the embezzlement of repair funds from various water supervisors in the Yunbai River."
Hearing this, Emperor Mingxi was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yukun, this is what you want to say when you enter the palace to meet the saint at this time?"
Seeing Emperor Mingxi with a strange expression, Zhao Yukun was stunned for a moment, his heart was trembling, and he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, no, that's right."
"Oh." Emperor Mingxi said solemnly: "Since you are so anxious to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, you should tell me who is secretly investigating?"
Zhao Yukun suddenly looked troubled: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this, I still have to investigate in detail."
At this moment, Emperor Mingxi had anger in his eyes, and he shouted instantly: "Since you don't know, you are still in such a hurry to enter the palace!"
"Li Yue, here is my message. Zhao Yukun, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is seriously injured and should not work hard. From now on, he will recuperate in the mansion until he recovers. He is not allowed to enter the palace unless he is summoned."
With that said, he stood up and turned around to leave.
Li Yue quickly bowed and replied: "I obey the order!"
Zhao Yukun in the palace was stunned and fell to the ground instantly!
