Chapter 166 Resignation
After Lin Yuxiu resigned, Ye Qinghuai carefully read the dossier of the Cangchang case.

The dossier compiled by Lin Yuxiu was well detailed, objective and fair, and read very fluently. Ye Qinghuai finished it quickly.

Then, she fell into deep thought.

Although these cases have been clarified, the main criminal and the motives behind the crimes are all clear, like an impeccable and complete story.

But Ye Qinghuai vaguely felt that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

This seemingly clear-cut tree has tangled roots buried in the unknown underground, and these hidden parts are the key to its survival.

Ye Qinghuai didn't know how deep this root was buried, and didn't know if she had the ability to uproot it.

And, whether she can afford to uproot her.

She has always acted decisively, regardless of the consequences, but in front of this ancient tree, she also hesitated.

This matter needs to be considered in the long run.Ye Qing said heartily.But in any case, the rations of the warehouse must be replenished, which is a major event related to the frontline battle situation.

She decided to test Chen Yuansi tomorrow morning.
-
However, Ye Qinghuai failed to test Chen Yuansi.

He called sick leave.

Not only that, but what surprised Ye Qinghuai even more was that she received a thick resignation letter from the cabinet handed over after she came down to court, and the person who made the invitation was Chen Yuansi.

In his resignation letter, the chief minister of the cabinet expressed his regret for not raising his son well and managing his subordinates well, and then made a summary of his hard work in the Dajing court for 40 years, and finally said I am on the verge of death, have the disease of paying salary, fear of losing the grace of God, and am willing to make way for the sage.

Ye Qinghuai frowned when he saw half of it.

This old man, it's a good move to retreat.

Although the full text is a humble statement, it first listed the efforts I have made for the court over the years, and then said that it was because the emperor had a new favorite, so I had to Let Xian.In the end, he shared his hands and handed over the mess to the emperor, and quit.

It was as if the emperor was a foolish ruler who loved his villains far away from virtuous ministers, while he was the loyal and good man who had worked hard for the court but suffered injustice.

Ye Qinghuai read the whole article, closed the booklet abruptly, slammed it heavily on the case, and said angrily: "Oh, it's really interesting. I don't believe it. The court of Dajing left you, Chen Yuansi, so why don't you turn around? "

After Ye Qinghuai finished scolding, he still picked up his pen and wrote a few words of comfort at the end of his resignation letter, such as "Is Mr. Ge's health important?" "We can't do without you" Persuade him to change his mind.

After finishing the approval, Ye Qinghuai checked it again to ensure that her wording was considerate enough and avoided making conclusions and promises.

Then, she sat on a chair and looked at the resignation letter and thought about it.

Why did Chen Yuansi hand in his resignation at this time?He was clearly arguing with He Qingchang at the cabinet meeting two days ago about the cost of adding gun barrels to the front line, so why did he suddenly resign today?

There must be some opportunity.

After Ye Qinghuai thought about it, there was only one thing that could touch Chen Yuansi's sensitive nerve.

That was Lin Yuxiu's audience.

There are no impenetrable walls in the palace.It seems that he already knew that Lin Yuxiu came here yesterday, and he also knew what he was here for.

He knew that with Lin Yuxiu's personality and the importance the emperor attached to this case, this matter would definitely not go well.

This is probably the reason why he said he was ill today.

But if you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. Avoidance is not a long-term solution after all.

So he simply resigned from office to let Ye Qinghuai know his importance to the court, so that Ye Qinghuai would have some scruples and dare not easily send Chen Xueshen down.

This is the same reason that Gu Shihai mobilized the Zhongzhou Army to move to Shengjing when Wang Lisong was about to enter the capital to face Shengjing.

It was secretly threatening the emperor not to act rashly.
-
Facts have proved that Chen Yuansi did have enough cards to dare to do so.

The imperial court without Chen Yuansi was full of poverty, lack of money, food and people.

Yu Jianghui, the Minister of the Household Department, is like a decoration. He doesn't know what to ask.

Not only does he know nothing when he asks a question, but the entire household department does.

Ye Qinghuai originally wanted to remove him, but after thinking about it, even if he was removed, there would be no one to replace him, so she had no choice but to give up.

After a stalemate for half a month, it was a holiday every ten days.

Ye Qinghuai got up early in the morning, took Zhou Shouyi and several imperial physicians, followed by a team of guards, and marched towards the Chen residence in a mighty manner.

The Chen residence has not changed much from when she came here years ago.

It's just that it's not Chen Yuansi who entertains guests this time, but his second son Chen Jinzhou.

Chen Jinzhou, like his father, has a pair of goldfish eyes. He has heavy bags under his eyes. He looks haggard and stooped. At the age of 40, he looks like a 60-year-old man.

Regarding Ye Qinghuai's visit to his sick father, he first expressed his gratitude, and then said that his father was too sick to get out of bed, and his elder brother was locked up in the ancestral hall by his father for deep reflection, so it was his turn The second son came to receive such distinguished guests as the emperor.

Then there was a lot of trepidation.

Ye Qinghuai also chatted warmly with him: "My lord is actually my humerus. His illness not only makes the whole court at a loss, but even I am so anxious that I am about to fall ill. So this time I will treat the most important thing in the palace. Several capable imperial physicians have been brought out, no matter how expensive and rare medicinal materials are used, they must cure Chen Ge's illness."

What she said was actually somewhat true.

After several recent tosses, Ye Qinghuai had to admit that under the current situation of internal and external difficulties, Dajing's court really couldn't turn around without Chen Yuansi.

Therefore, Ye Qinghuai had no choice but to come and visit with a smile on her face. She even thought about the warehouse case and Chen Xueshen. Although it is not possible to say let it go, it can be put on hold for now.As long as Chen Yuansi doesn't give up, everything will be easy to talk about.

But what she didn't expect was that Chen Yuansi was really sick.

After seeing it, several imperial physicians said that Mr. Chen Ge was indeed infected with wind and cold, and his high fever persisted. In addition, he became sick from overwork and needed to recuperate.

Even Zhou Shouyi just shook his head silently when facing Ye Qinghuai's questioning gaze.

This is very troublesome.

If Chen Yuansi continued to ask for leave, not to mention the fortifications on the front line, even food and grass would be a problem.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether Chen Xue will be punished or not, but a question of whether Dajing, the country, still exists.

"Why did Chen Ge always fall ill suddenly?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

This time, without waiting for the imperial physician to reply, Chen Jinzhou said first: "Your Majesty does not know, my father went to Gu Ge's old mansion that day, and he came back with a bad complexion. At night, he developed a high fever, and he has been ill all of a sudden."
