Chapter 722
"..."
Zhan Hui picked up his teacup in his right hand, but did not drink it directly. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the closed door.
Although these sounds were mostly laughter, clinking glasses, and toasting, he knew very well why these people were so happy: it was nothing more than surviving a disaster.
Fu Youwen took a sip of tea and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhan Hui retracted his gaze, turned back, raised an eyebrow and said, "Nothing, I just feel that... With Your Majesty's temper, can you really let these people go completely? Are you really willing to let them live comfortably like this?"
Fu Youwen didn't think it was a big deal. He curled his lips and spread his hands: "This is not a matter of willingness or unwillingness. Our Majesty is very capable and sees everything very clearly."
"If it's too clear, there will be too many guilty people. When there are too many guilty people, it will be difficult to deal with them. As the saying goes, 'The law cannot punish the masses.' Your Majesty is clear-headed, so he probably knows that this is the only choice!"
Zhan Hui obviously did not comment on Fu Youwen's words.
Fu Youwen asked, "Don't you think so?"
Zhan Hui smiled lightly: "I always feel that it won't be that simple. His Majesty is never willing to suffer any loss. I feel that he may be holding back something bad."
"What's going on?" Fu Youwen frowned in confusion. Then his eyes lit up slightly, and he was obviously curious. He asked with interest, "What did you think of? Or did you see some clues and evidence?"
Unexpectedly.
Zhan Hui just smiled and shook his head.
Without keeping any secrets, he admitted truthfully, "No, no, there's no evidence, no basis for speculation, that's all, it's just my intuition."
Fu Youwen, who had been so excited, sighed unhappily and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I thought you had come up with something new."
I took off my pants.
You're just showing me this?
Zhan Hui shrugged nonchalantly, and said in a low, half-joking tone, "Isn't this the character of our current young emperor? He's full of evil intentions, and you've seen such mean and evil people before."
Fu Youwen snorted lightly, but did not refute these words. However, he did not take Zhan Hui's unfounded speculation to heart: Not to mention that this time it involves so-called corruption, generally speaking, even if it is a big thing like the people gathering together to rebel and targeting the imperial power, it cannot be dealt with arbitrarily because there are too many people.
Just now.
There was another soft knock on the door behind Zhan Hui.
The two men immediately coughed lightly, restrained their other expressions, and said seriously: "Come in." The person who came was the trusted servant who had just come to deliver the message.
Zhan Hui's heart suddenly began to tighten again. He asked, "What new news have you received? Is there...an imperial decree to kill?"
The servant bowed and replied, "My lord, it's not some imperial decree to kill...it's something happening at the Ministry of Works."
The Ministry of Works, one of the Six Ministries.
Responsible for various industrial engineering construction, weaving, water conservancy affairs, etc.
Its status and influence.
It has always been at the bottom among the six departments.
Of course, that was all in the past. Ever since the matter of cheap fabrics became public, Qin Kui, the Minister of Works, seized the opportunity and loudly cried out for the current emperor in the court.
The status of the Ministry of Industry has been rising steadily.
Although Qin Kui, the Minister of Works, had offended many court officials and became a lone minister in the court, he gradually became a minister that His Majesty valued very much, and often went in and out of the Qianqing Palace to have private conversations with His Majesty.
Even some people think that.
He is the one stirring up trouble behind His Majesty.
It was precisely because of this that more and more eyes were staring at him and the Ministry of Works, both in the court and the country. Even people like Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, who knew a lot about Zhu Yunhuan's true face, became particularly careful.
