Step on a branch

Chapter 368 The whole capital is famously "annoying"!
Amidst the discussions, Wang Shangshu didn't dare to delay, and ran back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

In an instant, all the subordinates were mobilized.

The petty officials are also walking like flying, and they don't even care about someone at the door poking their brains and inquiring about news.

If, as Taishi Huang said, there is a problem with Qiyang's mines...

As for other yamen, they can watch the excitement, argue about their relatives, and even ponder whether Marquis Yongning and Duke Dingguo exaggerated Qi Yang's problem in order to raise troops.

For their Ministry of Industry, they have already tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers.

Once the problem is found, Wang Shangshu and the two servants at the top will definitely not be able to get away, and the young people below will also have to accompany a group.

To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Industry can do everything in one pot.

While his subordinates were still sorting out the documents, Wang Shangshu seized the time to quickly flip through the contents he had found.

Maybe it's because he was upset, and his head was confused.

At first glance, he didn't see any clues.

Left servant Liu Yin frowned and said: "You can't see the flowers even if you stare at them. It's really a problem that can be found at a glance. We haven't noticed it all these years."

Wang Shangshu sighed.

The principle is such a principle.

Maybe it was their blind eyes, or maybe their opponents were too cunning, anyway, no one in the yamen has ever noticed anything wrong with the various amounts that have been handed over in the past few years.

But, when we get to the imperial study, should we answer the emperor like this?
"The ministers are guilty, the ministers are blind, so far I don't know what the problem is."

Then they don't need to be punished by the emperor, they can take off their black hats and get out.

"The Yan family is extremely hateful. They have colluded with the Qiyang government, relying on their familiarity with minerals to confuse officials and others. They have ulterior motives."

If this kind of thing happened to other people, Wang Shangshu could say these things in different ways, but it happened to be the Yan family, the empress dowager's relatives.

As soon as they entered, they poured thick black ink on Yan's body indiscriminately...

Wouldn't the emperor not dye some black?
This is really a dilemma!

Liu Yin also understood this, seeing Wang Shangshu sighing, said: "It's really not that Duke Ding and the others deliberately..."

"Impossible," said Guo Huan'an, the servant on the right. It's nonsense, once it is exposed, the platform will collapse."

Wang Shangshu thinks so.

The "side" on the Qing emperor's side is very important.

It's best to be a person, if you call him a treacherous, a monster, or a troublemaker, he can only bear it, because it is difficult for a person to prove his innocence.

When it comes to a certain matter, black and white can still be explained clearly.

If there is no ironclad evidence of private mines or concealment, you can fish in muddy water, but once the water is clear...

"Don't forget, what is the name of the tree on the capital?" Wang Shangshu said.

Having said that, the left and right servants looked at each other.

Yes.

The one on the tree is famous in Beijing as "annoying"!
No one can tell how much news he has held in his hands, how many tails he has pulled.

The situation at Qi Yang's place, perhaps, has long been under his control.

Outside, Taishi Huang sent people to urge him.

Wang Shangshu picked up a stack of documents, motioned for the two servants to follow, and walked outside.

Outside the Ministry of Industry, Huang Taishi and Fan Taibao were waiting.

Around them, surrounded by many officials, you say what I say non-stop.

Some murmured that Yan was wrong.

Some people say that soldiers should not be.

Huang Taishi went in his left ear and out his right ear, he only lowered his head to study with Fan Taibao what was mentioned in the call to arms.

Xie Yu wrote, not only shouted loudly, but also presented the evidence.

Although it is located in the middle of the article, it is definitely not as clear, clear, and regular as the documents that formally discuss this matter, but it can also be seen.

"It took two years for the Xishan Mine to recover from the disaster."

"There are a few more private mines."

"Whether it's true or not, send someone to see it, it's clear, it's not easy to fake it."

Seeing the people from the Ministry of Industry come out, Grand Master Huang raised his head and said, "Let's go, I have to report to the emperor quickly."

"That's right," Fan Taibao sighed, "Soldiers are about to go to war, hey..."

The two elders walked in front, and Wang Shangshu was following. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the faces of the officials next to him, turning green and turning pale...

Yo.

It was exciting to watch the fun just now.

Now as soon as you hear that a war is going to happen, you're going to fight at the foot of the capital, you know you're panicking, right?
It wasn't until the group of them walked away that the discussion became louder again.

"Who can stop the rebels?"

"You treat the Marquis of Yongning and Duke Dingguo as traitors, and the Yan family harms Dazhou, so what?"

"I'm working hard at Feimenguan, and my hometown in Beijing has been raided. If I can't fight with soldiers, will I go back to prison?"

"Do you think it's right for them to raise troops? Then you vote for them!"

"Then do you want to invite Ying now to prevent them from entering Beijing?"

Disputes, one after another.

Dong Shilang listened for a while, with mixed feelings, and returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of War dejectedly.

Feng Zhong just came over, and he has many things to hand over to the Ministry of War when he returns to Beijing this time.

When Dong Shilang saw him, he hurriedly said: "General Feng, you were in Qiyang at that time, you really didn't see anything?"

Feng Zhongdunhou, seeing Dong Shilang like this, he couldn't bear to say those lies.

After thinking about it, I said a few truths that I could say.

"Being able to grasp Qi Yang's situation shows that they have made up their minds before," Feng Zhongdao, "Master Dong also knows that they are forced to take such a path because of the imperial decree, but they certainly don't want me and Marquis Anbei to be between us." It's in the middle. If that's the case, why don't you keep it from us and let us go back to Beijing first..."

Having said that, Dong Shilang also understood.

Old Hou Ye and the others, from beginning to end, did not want to implicate Feng Zhong and An Beihou.

At that time, if there was a hint of it, these two, could they just sit back and watch them stay in Qiyang?
"I can no longer tell what should be and what should not be..." Dong Shilang sat down, covered his face, and shook his head bitterly.

A good victory against Xiliang, why did it come to such a step?
Would he also want to meet the old Hou Ye whom he admired and respected?
In the other room, Eunuch Ji led everyone into the imperial study.

The emperor looked at them suspiciously, especially the thick documents held in the arms of the three from the Ministry of Industry.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Fan Taibao took a step forward, handed over the proclamation to Eunuch Ji, forwarded it to the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, Qin Yin and Lin Fan have raised troops."

The emperor's eyes widened.

True, he had known this moment would come.

Those two joined up with Pingyang, and the next step was to raise troops.

But, when I heard it, my heart was still pounding.

"What's the reason?" asked the emperor.

Deng Guoshi is dead, what reason do they have for raising troops suddenly?
Without waiting for Fan Taibao's answer, the emperor directly looked at the call to action without taking his eyes off it.
