11. Linde Cut Cake Banquet

Ban Hong, the assistant minister of the party involved, said nothing.

Because Xu Can did have corrupt behavior, he was not able to forcibly speak out for cover-up.

But Gao Yue was here to disrupt the situation. He didn't care about so much, so he went up and said, "If Xu Can is suspected of corruption, it is natural to hand it over to the Censorate. Du Ya can also hand it over to the Huainan Prize, but Du Ya is a veteran and must be properly placed."

The emperor agreed, and Gao Yue took the opportunity to say that Du Ya's position and identity were just right to be transferred to Henan Yin.

Dou Shen thought in his heart that as long as he could ask this person to give up Huainan, he would be the Yin of Henan...

"Your Majesty, the Yangtze River Inspection Court is the primary courtyard for the transportation of salt and iron in the Jianghuai River. The southeast taxes and salt profits are all distributed here. Although Dou Zhonglang had previously implemented the law, the transport ships from the Yangtze River, Huai River, Bian River and other river sections were all borne by Fangzhenzhou and counties along the way, the Yangtze River Inspection Court is still the residence of the Jianghuai Transport Envoy. The function of mobilizing ships and arresting private salt is still important. At that time, Chen Yue believed that the magistrate of the inspection institute should be carefully selected, and the new Huainan Jiedushi needed to go even more important officials." Gao Yue said next, not much different from Dou Shen.

After all, the Yangtze Patrol is within the scope of Huainan Town, and the two are closely related.

Before Dou Shen could speak, Gao Yue took the lead, "This is not the uncle of the Saint Lord, and the Shaanxi-Guo Observation Commander Wu Coo cannot do it."

In the hall all at once, should the Huainan Jiedushi let Dou Yu go or Wu go? This choice was placed in front of the emperor.

Dou Shen's face turned red, but he didn't expect Gao Yue to actually push the emperor's uncle!

"Dou Zhonglang, in your opinion, can my uncle be competent in Huainan Town?" The emperor on the rope bed also thoughtfully pushed the choice to Dou Shen.

Dou Shen stammered, but he didn't have the courage to publicly say that the emperor's uncle was not good. Moreover, Wu Coo had been an observer of Fujian before and had experience in governance in the local area.

At this time, Jia Dan, Dong Jin, and Ban Hong all agreed with Gao Yue's opinion.

In the end, the emperor decided that the Huainan Jiedushi asked Wu to do it, while Du Ya went to the Eastern Capital to be the Yin of Henan, and the Shaanxi-Guo Observation Envoy was handed over to Dou Yu.

As for the position of Zhiyangzi Inspection and the Jianghuai Transportation Commissioner, Pei Yanling did not go to Gao Yue, and Ban Hong strongly opposed it, saying that Pei Yanling had never had any experience in handling finances, so Ban Hong proposed his own candidate - Su Bian, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue and the judge of the Duzhi case.

"Su Bian is a simplified person, and he is indeed a suitable candidate." Jia Dan and Dong Jin also agreed.

No! Dou Shen shouted in his heart that Su Bian is well known to be the person under Ban Hong. If Su Bian is allowed to be the Jianghuai Transportation Commander, he would be defeated!

Dou Shen thought to himself that he didn't bother to talk to Mr. Xiao Pei, but when he thought that he had a choice, that was Zhang Pang, who was the water transport envoy of Beiyanmen at that time, he spoke up and wanted to recommend Zhang Pang.

However, Gao Yue also spoke out, Wang Shao, deputy envoy of the Northwest Land and Water Transportation, was capable and diligent. I recommended him to be the Jianghuai Transportation Commissioner, in charge of the Yangtze River and Baisha patrols.

Dou Shen was so angry that he was crazy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Gao Yue with a calm expression on his hands, thinking to himself, "You bastard who eats dog intestines and slaves and eats dog arrows. If you had known that when you killed Uighurs on the streets of Dongshi, you would have taken the opportunity to kill you!"

Now, the emperor on the rope bed actually laughed and said, "You are all ministers in power, but they will only recommend candidates from your own camp, which is a bit disappointing."

"I am guilty." Dou Shen, Ban Hong and Gao Yuecai said together, saying that he would ask the emperor to make a judgment.

The emperor was not stupid either. He was also unwilling to let any party become bigger, so he developed a balance technique: Zhang Pang was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, the Jianghuai Transportation Commissioner and the Salt and Iron Envoy, and went to the Yangtze Inspection Commissioner with the Censorate to investigate Xu Can's corruption (satisfied Dou Shen's wish); Su Bian was still a doctor in the Warehouse, but was also appointed as the "cannon gun casting envoy" to assist Gao Yue in establishing the cannon bureau and the gun bureau in Qingzhou (satisfied Ban Hong's wish); and Zhang Pang's acting North Water Transport envoy was also appointed Wang Shao, deputy envoy of Northwest Yingtian, which means that Wang Shao was actually responsible for the supply of military funds in several regions such as Northwest, Hedong, Weibei, Xiasuiyin (this satisfies Gao Yue's wish).

For the emperor, satisfying Dou Shen can protect the southeast; while satisfying Ban Hong can stabilize the northwest and south of the mountain; as for satisfying Gao Yue, let alone pacify the Dangxiang as soon as possible.

This time, the question was actually to separate the "scope of interests" of the ruling ministers.

But in fact, whether it is Dou Shen, Gao Yue, or Ban Hong, they are not interested in how much share the cake, but only want to master the knife for cutting the cake.

After getting married, Ban Hong and Dou Shen had a fierce quarrel.

Ban Hong forced Dou Shen to keep his word and quickly handed over all the powers of the three departments to himself.

Dou Shen denies it in every way, saying that the one-year deadline has not yet arrived.

Next, Ban Hong said: "Zhang Pang, the Northern Water Transport Author, was hard to control, so he should not go to the Yangtze River Inspectorate to investigate Xu Can, otherwise he would regret it if he had made an unjust case."

Dou Shenze said that everyone knows that Xu Can, the chief censor of the prosecutor, is your subordinate. Could it be that the Banmen Lang wants to be favored?

The two were incompatible and parted in disagreement.

The Double Ninth Festival soon arrived. Gao Yue gritted his teeth and entered Linde Hall during the day to attend the emperor's reception banquet.

When he got to the curtain, Gao Yue saw that the banquet was very small, or to put it bluntly, he was the only one who was given the banquet.

But there were princesses such as Yiyang and Deyang sitting in the seat. After the emperor sat down, a group of middle-aged officials, Song Ruohua and Song Ruozhao, and some concubines sat in the outer seats.

Looking at Yiyang's expression when he looked at him, then at the emperor, Gao Yue felt a little cold sweat in the back of his neck.

Several middle-aged officials presented the plate to the table in front of Gao Yue. Gao Yue saw that there was a red cheese pastry on the plate, which was very elegant and exquisite.

"Eat cake." The emperor's low voice came, and then Gao Yue raised his eyes and saw that the emperor raised the meat-cut dagger and cut it hard on his plate, and said "cut cake".

Cake, tall...

On all sides of the banquet curtain, the figures of the Zhongguan and the Huailin guards were flashing, and their swords were dragged long.

You should know that Emperor Li Shi is the most suspicious. Now the spies in the Imperial Capital Inspection Division are densely populated in the capital and are specializing in supervising the family of ministers. People dare not hold banquets at all, so they can only meet in secret. Before the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor used both soft and hard work and insisted on coming to Linde Hall. Could it be that he learned about my affair with Princess Lingxu Li Xuanshu?
