Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 163
But the chief minister of the cabinet is different, not to mention that the chief minister of the cabinet has always admired Chen Shilang.

Even the last time, when Chen Shilang was about to be beheaded by His Majesty, the chief minister of the cabinet dared to plead for mercy.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the chief minister of the cabinet to discuss this matter directly with Chen Shilang, as long as he obediently follows behind,

After Hubu Shangshu thought of this, he went straight back home, completely forgetting about this matter.

He has complete trust in the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and Chen Shilang, and he will definitely be able to solve this matter. I don't know where the trust of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance comes from. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance has solved the serious problem in his heart and left briskly.

The chief minister of the cabinet sighed and went to the Ministry of Industry.

Chen Yi didn't know about these things.

People shine in the Ministry of Industry, making parts and inspecting them with craftsmen.

Chen Yi wiped the sweat off his face, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of water, only to see the Minister of the Ministry of Industry coming in a hurry from outside, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry came directly in front of him.

Chen Yi looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry with a puzzled expression.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said straight to the point: "Clean up and go out with me, Mr. Shoufu is here, and came to see you after roll call, saying that he has something important to discuss. "

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, wondering what the chief minister of the cabinet wanted from him?
Now there seems to be no problem in the court. With such doubts, Chen Yi simply tidied up, and followed the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to meet the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"Master Shoufu, do you have something to do with me?"

After Chen Yi saluted, he asked directly. The relationship between the two is relatively good now. Chen Yi knew that the chief minister of the cabinet had helped him sincerely a few times before.

Chen Yi naturally took this kindness to heart, and it was better to maintain a positive relationship with the grandson Wang, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Chen Yi was naturally very respectful.

The chief minister of the cabinet showed a smile when he saw Chen Yi, and then when they were seated, their faces returned to their previous frowns.

Chen Yi and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry looked at each other. Chen Yi looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry with every bit of knowledge.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry saw such a tangled expression on the face of the chief minister of the cabinet, and knew that something must be serious.

Maybe it's not what I should know, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry coughed lightly, and stood up: "Master Shoufu, the artisan workshop behind here is making parts, and I can't do without people's supervision, so I won't accompany you two. Please come."

The chief minister of the cabinet turned around at that moment, nodded, and did not hold back.

After the Minister of the Ministry of Industry went out, he closed the door intimately, and at the same time told his subordinates not to let other people come to disturb him, and then returned to the craftsman workshop.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry just said that the chief minister of the cabinet recovered from his contemplation, and looked at Chen Yi who was sitting opposite him waiting for him.

The chief minister of the cabinet sighed deeply: "I came to see you today, but I really don't know how to solve it."

Chen Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect the chief minister of the cabinet to be so straightforward, but he didn't show it on his face, but nodded kindly, with a gentle face.

"Master Shoufu, please tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely solve your problems."

Hearing this, the chief minister of the cabinet relaxed his frown a little.

"Actually, it's not my business. After the imperial court was dismissed today, His Majesty called me and the Secretary of the Household Department to the Imperial Study." The chief minister of the cabinet said this, and raised his head to look at Chen Yi who was opposite.

When Chen Yi heard that it was about the empress, he had a guess or two in his heart when he heard that the person called was the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and the Minister of the Household Department.

Chen Yi didn't say anything, but looked at the chief minister of the cabinet encouragingly, while suppressing the doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty told me that Immortal Master Chen from the Alchemy Pavilion asked for an interview yesterday, saying that there are only two medicinal materials left to make this immortal, but after the production is completed, one of them is the thousand-year-old snow lotus, and Immortal Master Chen wants to pick it himself."

Chen Yi frowned when he heard Brother Alchemy.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, the Alchemy Pavilion came out to make a demon again. Not long after this subsided, he couldn't help it, and made a move. Chen Yi really admired the mastery of Chen Xianshi's rhythm.

"What else did he say?" Chen Yi asked directly.

"According to Your Majesty, Master Chen is planning to buy it directly at the foot of the mountain if there is a thousand-year-old snow lotus, so I have silver with me and the Minister of the Household Department, and we need a total of 2 taels of silver."

Chen Yidan stood up directly: "How much does he want, 2 taels?!! It's really a lion's mouth."

The chief minister of the cabinet nodded heavily: "Yes! I have never asked for such a large amount. The key is that there is not so much money in Lonely and Qianzhuang. The Secretary of the Household Department said that there are only 100 taels left in total. "

Chen Yi laughed when he heard the number.

Chen Yi guessed that he had given the Empress 1 taels of silver yesterday.

The Alchemy Pavilion needs a total of 2 taels, and the empress may want to allocate 1 taels of silver from the treasury.

But it never occurred to him that in addition to the 1 taels, there were only 100 taels left in the treasury. If this money was really given, it would really become a joke in the world.

"What did your majesty say?" Chen Yi smiled and asked the chief minister of the cabinet.

The chief minister of the cabinet was a little puzzled, but still replied: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, you have to give it, and it's not as strong as before, just let us go back and say that she is thinking about it."

When Chen Yi heard this, he nodded and knew that the empress would definitely not take money from the treasury and the bank this time.

After all, she still has so much money here, 3909 million taels, which is enough for any amount of money. If she really takes it from the treasury, the empress herself may be embarrassed.

Chen Yi stretched out his hand with some headaches and pinched his temples.

"Your Majesty, Chief Assistant, don't worry. I believe His Majesty has his own decision on this matter. Anyway, this Alchemy Pavilion has been studied for so long. It doesn't make any difference to delay it for a while. Your Majesty should wait."

The chief minister of the cabinet was indeed full of disbelief.

"Chen Shilang, you don't know your majesty. If you had done it before, you might have waited, but now there are only two ingredients missing, and your majesty may not be able to wait. I came here today to discuss with you and see if there is anything else. Method."

Chen Yi thought for a while, then raised his head.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will persuade Your Majesty to let her wait a while. I will leave this matter to me, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. I can assure you that Your Majesty will never mention money again."

The chief minister of the cabinet was not relieved when he heard this, but said anxiously.

"Chen Shilang, don't mess around. We all have lingering fears about the things you persuaded His Majesty before. If you can't make yourself do anything wrong because of this matter, then I really can't take the blame."
