Chapter 89: Eight Hundred Miles Expedited! Beijing Cabinet: It’s broken, we have become stand-ins!

Capital City, Cabinet.

"First assistant, Yang Yiqing, governor of Shaanxi and general commander of the three sides, came to report that unusual movements in Mongolia have been detected recently. From the end of Hongzhi to the present, the bandits have been invading for consecutive years, and they may invade our country in the autumn -"

The cabinet is dealing with political affairs, and the atmosphere is very normal.

"Transferred to the Ministry of War for research..."

Liu Jian raised his hand before he finished listening, quite absent-mindedly.

Although he had recovered from his illness and returned to the cabinet to coordinate the affairs of the country, but the emperor was gone, he always felt that he could not do his best. Affected by him, Xie Qian and Yang Tinghe, who were left behind in the entire cabinet, were somewhat unmotivated.

"Is there any memorial from Jinling?"

Yang Tinghe knew the reason why Liu Jian was so negative. He had forced the emperor to leave and was about to resign. However, Xie Qian came back and urged him to come back to take charge of the overall situation, at least until Zhu Houzhao came back.

Liu Jian had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to serve as the first assistant.

"Yes, it's just some normal government affairs. Your Majesty is very well-behaved there. He doesn't hold court meetings or deal with political affairs. He concentrates on preparing for the anniversary of Taizu's death. He doesn't do anything excessive."

Cabinet officials obviously knew what several cabinet ministers were concerned about at this time, and immediately reported the situation in Jinling.

"His Majesty is still very well-behaved. I said, Xixian, don't worry...Although His Majesty is playful, he still has the sense of propriety that he should have. As soon as the guests arrive, they will definitely welcome His Majesty. You don't have to do it every day. You have a sad face, as if someone owes you money."

Xie Qian also came back. Known as Xie Kankan, he immediately spoke to comfort him again.

"Can I be happy? It's not His Majesty who you, Mr. Xie, forced away when you were in office..." Liu Jian said angrily: "How about he be the chief minister now?"

"Don't, don't... I have already prepared to take care of myself, and my health is not good. I am really afraid that Your Majesty will run away while I am in charge." Xie Qian quickly raised his hand and thanked Bu Min.

Is there such comfort? Liu Jian's beard twitched and he was speechless.

Only these two people who have been together for decades can joke as much as they want. As a junior, Yang Tinghe can only apologize and cheer up the atmosphere: "Mr. Xie, you are joking. With you here, His Majesty will definitely not be so willful, especially. After His Majesty comes back for the wedding, the cabinet needs your help from mature and prudent ministers to stabilize the overall situation."

"Yes, Mr. Xie, you might as well take office directly."

Liu Jian echoed even more boredly, then looked at the sky and lost interest in going to work: "Let's go, Yu Qiao, come with me for a walk... Jiefu, I'll leave the rest to you."

He was going to skip work.

"Let's go, let's go..." Xie Qian tidied up and prepared to leave.

"Report! Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Expedited report from Jinling eight hundred miles away!"

However, just when the two of them had just packed up and were about to leave, an official suddenly rushed in.

Jinling 800 miles is urgent!
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the cabinet stopped completely.

"Fa, what happened?"

Liu Jian had an ominous premonition. Looking at the urgent envelope in the official's hand, his heart suddenly twitched.

What urgent things can happen in Jinling that are eight hundred miles away? The emperor was assassinated? Or are Japanese pirates invading? Or maybe the situation they least wanted to see happened.

Either way, it's obviously not a good thing.

"Are you sure it's the eight-hundred-mile express from Jinling?"

Xie Qian took the envelope and the relaxed look on his face disappeared. Instead, he looked at the official with great caution.

"Well, Mr. Ge, it's definitely the Eight Hundred Mile Express from Jinling!" The official nodded solemnly.

Xie Qian immediately felt that the letter in his hand was like a hot potato. He subconsciously looked at Liu Jian and found that Liu Jian's face was already ugly.

"Xixian, you...you have to be mentally prepared."

Xie Qian swallowed dryly and couldn't help but tell Liu Jian, and then handed the letter to Yang Tinghe: "Jiefu, open it..."

He also found a chair and sat down again. He picked up the tea with trembling hands, wanting to take a sip of tea to calm down and prepare himself mentally.

He also saw that Liu Jian was not much better. He tried to pick up the tea cup, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't pick it up twice.

The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the cabinet suddenly became a bit solemn. Everyone's eyes were focused on the urgent report in Yang Tinghe's hand.

Yang Tinghe undoubtedly felt the pressure.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing..."

He could only force out a relaxed expression and said in a self-comforting tone: "Isn't Mr. Li over there? He is already here, what else can happen?"

"Yes, Binzhidu is over there, what else can happen."

"We're definitely scaring ourselves."

Xie Qian quickly agreed and glared at Liu Jian: "My chief assistant, you are not like that, right?"

Liu Jian didn't say anything. He finally picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Jiefu, please take it apart and take a look. I can still bear it."

Yang Tinghe opened the letter under the gaze of everyone.

However, after just one glance, he was completely stunned. Then, his hands began to tremble involuntarily... His breathing became even more rapid. He swallowed hard and looked at the people who were waiting for him. ——

He opened his mouth and spoke with difficulty: "Your Majesty——"

The voice was very strange, like a eunuch who had been knocked out of his balls all of a sudden. It became hoarse in an instant. Yang Tinghe noticed that his voice was abnormal, and he couldn't continue after saying only two words.

This reaction directly made Xie Qian and Liu Jian's hearts tremble suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with him? Jiefu, you, you should tell me quickly!"

Xie Qian was scared and didn't want to hear it, but his appetite was completely whetted.

Liu Jian even stopped breathing. He just stared at Yang Tinghe with his eyes, as if he was about to pass away at any time.

"Mr. Xie, please see for yourself..."

Yang Tinghe turned around with difficulty and moved with steps that seemed to be filled with lead. Under the gaze of everyone, he passed the letter to Xie Qian.

"puff!"

The tea in Xie Qian's mouth finally spurted out.

"What? A temporary cabinet!? Your Majesty is going to set up another cabinet in Jinling!"

Xie Qian finally blurted out and announced the news.

Pfft!
Liu Jian rushes to the street! One end slipped off the chair.

But no one paid any attention to him.

Plop, plop... things fell from the hands of other cabinet officials one after another, and the entire cabinet seemed to have been touched in an instant.

"Establish a new cabinet..."

"No, isn't it? Your Majesty, how dare he establish another cabinet!?"

"No way!"

Soon, the other low-level officials finally reacted, their minds started turning again, and they struggled to seek confirmation from Xie Qian and Yang Tinghe.

"Mr. Ge!"

"Mr. Ge fainted again!"

Finally, someone discovered that Liu Jian had fainted again, and there was another panic.

But neither Xie Qian nor Yang Tinghe cared about it anymore.

Yang Tinghe even held the table and reluctantly found a chair to sit down, so as not to expose his weak legs.

But after sitting down, his mind was still buzzing, and the surrounding environment made him feel like he was suddenly out of the loop and couldn't hear anything.

At this time, he only had one thought in his mind: It's over, I'm a substitute!
