Madam is right

Chapter 422 002. Dereliction of Duty, Ineffective Supervision

Zhao Yin didn't speak, just looked at Shao Deming who came forward.

Shao Deming said: "My Majesty, Yangzhou is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and there has been no major disaster for a long time. Although this is a natural disaster, the heavy rain is inevitable after all. Prior to this, Yangzhou has not seen such a disaster for many years. Wei Chen thought that there was a reason for this."

After hearing Shao Deming's words, Zhao Jue suddenly remembered something, lowered his head slightly and frowned.

He seemed to know what Shao Deming was going to say next.

After hearing this, Zhao Yin didn't show any expression on his face, he just asked: "Then according to the Prime Minister's intention, what is the reason?"

Shao Deming suddenly bowed to Emperor Chengyuan again, and officials who knew Shao Deming knew that he was going to trip up the high-ranking officials in the court.

Sure enough, Shao Deming opened his mouth and said: "Back to the emperor, Yangzhou has not experienced any major disasters in the past 30 years, but this time, not only the gods are at fault, but even the flood control dam has problems. I want to boldly ask His Royal Highness here. At that time, His Royal Highness was in charge of supervising the construction of Qiao'an Dam and Yangzhou Dam, but after only three years, it has reached the point where Qiao'an Dam burst and Yangzhou Dam was in danger. Responsibility for incompetence?"

Shao Deming spoke convincingly, but Zhao Yin seemed to hear for the first time that Zhao Jue was the person who supervised the construction, and asked, "Oh? Was it the crown prince who supervised the construction of the bridge, Anba and Yangzhou dams?"

This matter was also discussed in this Jinluan Hall at the beginning, and Zhao Jue replied: "Father, it is the son-in-law."

Without waiting for Zhao Yin to speak, Shao Deming said to Zhao Jue: "So, His Highness the Crown Prince admits that he has neglected his duties and failed to supervise well?"

Zhao Jue didn't look at Shao Deming, but bowed halfway to Zhao Yin, and said sincerely: "Although I can't say that I have no responsibility for the accidents in Fanqiao Anba and Yangzhouba, but when I supervised the construction, there was absolutely no responsibility." Slack in the slightest, and never neglect your duties, father is clearly aware!"

As if he was afraid that Zhao Yin would believe Zhao Jue's words, Shao Deming immediately said: "Your Majesty, in the sixth year of Chengyuan, Master Ding, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, went to Yangling to supervise the construction of Jin'an Dam. It is also in the Jiangnan area, and it has been more than ten years now. , Jin’an Dam is still intact. In comparison, Qiao’an Dam and Yangzhou Dam are too fragile! Perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of doing this, but if His Highness the Crown Prince has not supervised it in place, it is inevitable that there will be some jerry-building. In this way, the Crown Prince What would your Highness say?"

Shao Deming now has a righteous and upright look. If he hadn't known him for a long time, Mo Changjian would almost have believed his look of worrying about the country and the people.

Emperor Chengyuan didn't speak, so Shao Deming continued to say to Zhao Jue: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, when he supervised the construction, did His Highness personally go to the site to check?"

Zhao Jue's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Naturally."

Shao Deming was not surprised by this answer, because he knew that Zhao Jue had been to the dam construction site.

Did you just let Zhao Jue go?
If so, he is not Shao Deming.

Apparently, the old fox had already asked about what happened back then. He hooked the corner of his mouth and continued to ask: "Then dare to ask His Royal Highness, how often does His Highness go to the dam construction site?"

"Once every half month."

Zhao Jue already knew that Shao Deming had really made enough arrangements this time, preparing to make him doomed forever.
