Chapter 167
Although Ye Qinghuai knew that Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai had fought fiercely some time ago, she didn't know that Chen Yuansi went to see Gu Shihai.

"Why did Mr. Chen Ge go to see Mr. Gu?" Ye Qinghuai couldn't help asking.

Chen Jinzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know. I heard from the servant that my father couldn't even enter the door of the Gu Mansion, so he was sent back by the servants of the Gu Mansion. As soon as my father came back, he locked himself in the There was no one in the study, and at last when the aunt went to the study to deliver the meals, she found out that my father had drafted a letter of resignation, and he had already passed out while lying on the desk."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said to Ye Qinghuai: "Your Majesty, although I'm just a soft-spoken young minister, I shouldn't talk about state affairs. But my father's thoughts on the court over the years, my minister This son is always in his eyes. His loyalty to the imperial court and His Majesty is definitely something that can be learned from the sun and the moon. If he is really sick and unable to get out of bed, my father must be exhausted. He will die next to the koan."

What he said was very aggrieved, and it can be said that those who heard it were sad and those who heard it wept.

Thinking of Chen Yuansi's pitiful appearance lying on the hospital bed, he completely lost the calm and self-imposing posture in the court, like an ordinary old man in his twilight years.

He is 67 years old after all.Ye Qinghuai sighed silently, feeling a little pity in her heart.

"Old Chen Ge's fist-fighting heart, I understand in my heart. Old Gu Ge has indeed gone too far in this matter, and I will definitely blame him. You can take care of your father with peace of mind. When he wakes up, tell him for me. Don't say anything The official said, he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and I and the courtiers are waiting for him to come back." Ye Qinghuai comforted.

Before leaving, Ye Qinghuai also left an imperial doctor in the Chen residence to treat Chen Yuansi's cold.

As soon as the emperor and his party left, the door of the Chen Mansion was tightly closed.

Chen Jinzhou cleaned up the traces of crying on his face, walked quickly into Chen Yuansi's room, and closed the door.

"Father." Chen Jinzhou walked to the bed and said respectfully.

Chen Yuansi on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, squinted at him, and asked, "Going away?"

"Let's go. I told His Majesty exactly as you taught me." Chen Jinzhou replied.

Chen Yuansi's cold gaze paused on him, then slowly retracted.Looking at the curtain above his head, he sighed, his expression undiminished.

"Father, what should we do next?" Chen Jinzhou asked.

"Wait." Chen Yuansi said.His eyes are clear, and he does not look like a seriously ill person.

Chen Jinzhou froze for a moment, seeing that his father had no intention of continuing, he asked again, "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Gu Shi to come to the door."
-
Speaking of the emperor.

Ye Qinghuai carefully recalled what she saw and heard in the Chen Mansion today on the carriage back to the palace.

According to what Chen Jinzhou said, Chen Yuansi fell ill this time because he was rejected by Gu Shihai.

Contacting the resignation letter he gave to Ye Qinghuai, it seems that he learned about the progress of the Ministry of Criminal Investigation's investigation, and knew that the Ministry of Criminal Justice was going to submit Chen Xueshen's matter to the imperial court, so he hurriedly went to Gu Shihai, intending to send Stop this matter.

In the end, he didn't expect that he didn't even meet Gu Shihai.

With Chen Yuansi's sensitive sense, he must have felt that Gu Shihai's daring to do this was the emperor's tacit approval.

Therefore, he said in his resignation letter that he felt that the emperor was close to the villain, which made him disheartened and wanted to resign.

Chen Yuansi resigned due to illness this time, the real frustration was not with Ye Qinghuai, but with Gu Shihai.

So, as soon as Ye Qinghuai returned to the palace, she passed Gu Shihai into the palace and asked him what was going on.

Gu Shihai didn't feel guilty at all, and replied: "Mr. Chen Ge visited our mansion twice before because of the warehouse case, but this case has too much impact, His Majesty has instructed to thoroughly investigate to the end, I dare not cover it up, so I will I rejected Mr. Chen Ge. Since I can't talk with him, I might as well not see him, so as to avoid embarrassment."

Ye Qinghuai expected that Chen Yuansi's visit to Gu's house was because of the Cangchang case, but she didn't expect Gu Shihai's reply to be so blunt and blunt.

"Anyway, he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the two of you work together in the cabinet. It's too much to see behind closed doors." Ye Qinghuai persuaded.

Gu Shihai didn't answer, but asked: "Your Majesty, it's been half a month since the case file of Cangchang was submitted, so why didn't it be released?"

Ever since Chen Yuansi asked for leave and resigned, Ye Qinghuai became more cautious about this case.

Beidi's army is currently present, and at this time the most taboo is the turmoil in the court.

She originally wanted to wait for the war to come to an end before freeing up her hands to deal with Chen Xueshen's case.Clinker, Chen Yuansi saw her intentions, and launched an attack at this time.

Gu Shihai saw Ye Qinghuai's hesitation, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, although I am not in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, as the second assistant of the cabinet, I also have the position of supervising all the officials. I think that with Yu Jianghui's ability, it is fundamental It is not enough to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Ye Qinghuai was taken aback.

There are six departments in Dajing, and the ministers of several households have the largest number of workers and the largest number of departments.Moreover, the Ministry of Households is in charge of money, food, taxes, and currency, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire country.

Yu Jianghui was promoted by Chen Yuansi after he was promoted to the first assistant. He has been in this position for four years, but it seems that he has never been a secretary of the household department.In the past four years, no matter what the household department had to do, they basically skipped him and directly asked Chen Yuansi for instructions.

It can be said that the whole imperial court witnessed his corpse meal.

However, although the entire court was dissatisfied with him, no one dared to point it out.

Because Chen Yuansi stood behind him.

At this moment, when Gu Shihai raised this matter, Ye Qinghuai immediately felt his aggressiveness.

After Chen Yuansi's resignation was submitted for so long, Gu Shihai finally made a move.

"If Yu Jianghui is not competent, who does Mr. Gu Ge think can be competent?" Ye Qinghuai asked tentatively.

Gu Shihai saluted for a while, and said, "Lin Yuxiu, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This person has the ambition of innovation, so it's a pity to be the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If he is appointed as the Minister of Criminal Justice, he can also show his talents. The cases he was in charge of in the Ministry of Criminal Justice have also been closed a few days ago. Du Zhengen will be executed three days later. I therefore recommend him to be the Minister of the Household Department."

Ye Qinghuai frowned.

Gu Shihai wanted to take this opportunity to push Lin Yuxiu away from his criminal department, and to make Chen Yuansi's household department feel uneasy.

For him, it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

It's just that the Ministry of Accounting is no better than the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In the days when Chen Yuansi was away, Ye Qinghuai had already felt the cumbersome and complicated affairs of the Ministry of Accounting, which were definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If Lin Yuxiu was thrown over hastily, he would not be able to sort it out in a while.

And the battle on the front line will not give him time to catch his breath.

Ye Qinghuai shook her head and said: "His qualifications are still young. The position of Minister of the Household Department is related to the people's livelihood and the country's destiny, and it is not for people to practice."
