Chapter 1724: An explosion occurred; who is he going to vent his anger on this time?

~8 min read 1,442 words

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, sighing: "How many famous calligraphy and paintings were used as burial objects and buried in ancient tombs? Guess the Emperor in the palace, the emperors of the Great Ming generation after generation, who are elegant or truly like them, can they not miss the burial objects in the ancient tombs?

If you knew that a certain famous calligraphy and painting was in a certain ancient tomb, and you had people in your hands and money in your hands, could you resist not digging the grave and taking the good things out?"

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Sun Daoning's heart jumped violently, "Your mouth, there is never a gate, and you dare to say anything. You mean, the Tian family has long been sharing worries for His Majesty. Is this painting evidence?"

"Otherwise, how to explain that when nominating Tian Chongshan, the Emperor didn't object at all, and even welcomed it. You know, at the beginning, the person the Emperor favored was an official from the Jixia Academy."

Chen Guanlou directly hinted.

Many times, many things in the court don't need evidence, just suspicion is enough!

Xie Changling taking the initiative to nominate a noble who had nothing to do with it to serve as Minister of Works is inherently weird. Someone as clever as Xie wouldn't do a losing business.

Since he decided to protect Sun Daoning, there must be a follow-up move. Tian Chongshan, the Tian family's history of getting rich, is instantly worth pondering.

"What is Chen Guanfu's attitude? Isn't Tian Chongshan recommended to Minister Xie by him?" Sun Daoning had always thought that the person behind Tian Chongshan should be Chen Guanfu.

Only Chen Guanfu could easily mobilize noble personnel and let noble generals cooperate with his actions.

Xie Changling can't!

Xie Changling's influence is in the civil official group, in the aristocratic families of the world, and mainly the families in the south. As for the nobility, he can only negotiate and trade, and cannot talk about influence.

If he says a hundred words to the noble generals, it's not as useful as Chen Guanfu saying one word.

The essence of the Secretariat is the mutual restraint of power!

This configuration is basically reasonable. Fighting each other, cooperating with each other. When facing imperial power, everyone suppresses imperial power together!

Except for this dog-legged Zhao Jichong!

"Chen Guanfu just pushed the boat with the current. Xie Changling needs a Minister of Works that everyone can accept. Choosing from civil officials is easy to be picked by the royalist faction. Therefore, he abandoned the civil officials and simply picked from the nobility. Tian Chongshan is lucky, and it was revealed instantly. After all, the Tian family has a scholarly tradition, and they are indeed very professional in engineering and construction, which other families can't compare to."

The previous Minister of Works and Vice Minister of Works were professional in building gardens and houses. But when it comes to opening mountains and chiseling stones, building defensive projects, casting border cities, building a solid town, and dredging rivers, they are all half-buckets of water and all have to grab their heads. They are far less professional than the Tian family, who has been building military projects for the army all year round.

The gardens and houses built by the Tian family are not beautiful enough, and the aesthetics are not luxurious enough, but they are absolutely durable.

Sun Daoning had a headache, feeling like he was going to grow a brain.

"So, Tian Chongshan is a last resort? Is it a transition?"

"Whether it's a transition depends on Tian Chongshan's ability. If he can sit firmly in the position of Minister of Works, he is the one who deserves it."

The opportunity was given to the Tian family; whether they can grasp it depends on personal ability.

Xie Changling's idea is to find someone who is pleasing to the eye and can be manipulated to occupy a good position. As for who this position will be left to in the future, we will talk about it later.

Therefore, he chose to cooperate with Chen Guanfu.

He couldn't deal with Tian Chongshan, who was of noble origin, but Chen Guanfu could deal with the one surnamed Tian.

Among the nobility, they communicate privately. What Tian Chongshan will do will eventually be decided.

How many interest transactions are involved, Chen Guanlou doesn't know.

He only knows that this time he caught the Jixia Academy off guard, which can be described as everyone being happy.

Sun Daoning thought carefully and nodded in agreement. The Jixia Academy is the biggest enemy; the Jixia Academy must be pressed down firmly and not allowed to move. As for whether the Minister of Works is Tian Chongshan, Li Chongshan, Wang Chongshan, or someone else, as long as it is not an official from the Jixia Academy.

To be a person is to be pragmatic and simple.

The steward came to notify that the wine and food were ready, and they could move to the flower hall for dinner.

Sun Daoning personally took Chen Guanlou's hand and went to the flower hall.

Sun Eldest Master accompanied him, and two secretaries accompanied him.

Everyone chatted about wind, flowers, snow, and moon, chatted about the court situation, chatted about the Secretariat...

In the midst of drinking, an explosion suddenly came from the sky, shocking everyone.

Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion, but some looked north, some east, some west...

For a moment, they couldn't tell which direction the problem was in.

"What happened, what happened?"

"Is it thunder?"

"In such good weather, how could it be thunder!"

"Look, smoke is coming from that side!"

Now they finally knew which direction had the problem—west, rolling thick smoke, rushing straight into the sky. Half the sky was covered by black smoke,

as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had sunk, the end of the world.

Sun Daoning stared at the direction of the smoke, his face shocked, "That side... that side is the Minor Treasury's Directorate of Construction, how could it explode?"

Chen Guanlou hurriedly reminded, "Old Sun, don't think about how it exploded. Hurry up and summon everyone from the Six Shanmen, immediately rush to the crime scene, and control the scene. Don't let other offices grab the lead. It's better not to investigate the case clearly than to watch someone bury the truth."

Sun Daoning immediately came back to his senses, ordering the steward and secretary to take his name card and go directly to the Six Shanmen to summon people.

He himself changed into official clothes and went to the Ministry of Justice for the first time to arrange work. At the same time, he didn't forget to notify the palace, so the palace knew that as soon as the explosion happened, the Ministry of Justice moved for the first time.

When the Six Shanmen moved, the Brocade Uniform Guard was also ready to go, following Yang Deguang to the crime scene.

Now, no one knows the cause of the explosion, doesn't know how many people died, doesn't know how many houses were destroyed, and how many people were injured.

Everything must be prepared.

Gather all the doctors in the city, manage the medicinal materials, and prepare for emergencies.

Chen Guanlou went to the scene alone to take a look; thick smoke was rolling, and the surrounding houses were all plunged into a sea of fire; he could even hear the screams of people in the sea of fire.

Some people were trapped in the sea of fire.

He saved a few people.

Unfortunately, the fire was fierce, borrowing the northwest wind.

Several offices were working together to dig firebreaks, and saving people was arranged behind. The primary task was to prevent the fire from spreading.

The commander of the City Guard looked like he had lost his parents.

Dead, dead!

Such a big disaster happened, the City Guard bore the brunt. From him downwards, many people would lose their heads.

Oh my god!

It's almost the end of the year, almost New Year, why did this happen suddenly? This is forcing people to death!

The City Guard crowd actively fought the fire, not caring about burns. They only sought to make up for their mistakes and seek a glimmer of survival for themselves.

More and more people joined the fire-fighting team.

More and more people were buried in the sea of fire!

Two hours after the explosion, the Emperor arrived at the scene, his face iron-blue!

This time, who is he going to vent his anger on? ===== CHAPTER 1725 =====
