Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 475 Apprehend Shuntian Governor
Wu Youke is not an official after all. Although he is already a senior official of the second rank, what he has always done in the Royal First Hospital is the research and prevention of plague. He is more academic and not familiar with the way of officialdom. Moreover, he has only entered the officialdom for only a few years, so there is no other way for an old fritter like Qiu Maohua who has been in the officialdom for decades.

Moreover, Wu Youke also knew that although this Qiu Maohua was only the Governor of Shuntian, he had close or distant relations with the six senior officials of the cabinet.

Therefore, seeing the prefect of Shuntian, Qiu Maohua, categorically denying him now, he had no choice but to be at a loss for a while.

"Prefect Qiu, you have to understand that the control of the cholera epidemic is not only my Wu Youke's business, but also your Shuntian Mansion's business. There are more and more people infected with the disease. If you don't control it, your Majesty will punish you at that time. It's not just me, Wu, you, the prefect of Qiu, can't escape, so you can't ignore the prefect of Qiu."

Wu Youke was also in a hurry at this time, so he had to bring out His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to threaten Qiu Maohua.

Qiu Maohua bullied Wu You for being too upright and innocent, so he slapped the table and shouted sternly: "When did you leave the matter of the epidemic, Wu Shangshu, you can't spit on others! Your Majesty has already stated a few years ago, All medicinal materials in the world are under the control of the imperial pharmacy and the Ministry of Health, and even the raw medicine shops in various places have to be approved by you before they can operate. You are the largest medicinal material dealer in the world, but you are looking for medicinal materials from a small official who only cares about a few ordinary people , where do you ask the lower officials to find it for you, what kind of imperial pharmacy directly allocated the medicinal materials to my Shuntian Mansion, I think it is also an excuse for you, Wu Shangshu, to enrich your own pocket!"

"You!" Wu Youke didn't expect that Qiu Maohua, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, would directly slander him. He was so angry that he couldn't help pointing at Qiu Maohua. He was speechless for a long time, and only said: "What did the father-in-law in the palace say?" There is a lie, Magistrate Qiu, I don’t know why you refuse to admit that these medicinal materials are here, but since you say so, you can directly impeach me to His Majesty the Emperor!”

"This is just a joke, Wu Shangshu, you are a popular person around His Majesty, how can I impeach you, a small official of Shuntian Prefecture, unless I don't want to wear a black hat on my head."

Qiu Maohua couldn't help but sneered a few words, and said Wu Youke sarcastically.

Wu Youke, as a straight and upright person, naturally couldn't bear Qiu Maohua's slander, so he became even more annoyed: "Prefect Qiu, what exactly do you want? Just tell me, since you said that to me Wu Mou, then I, Wu Mou, will take off my black hat first, since Chen Zuo neglected His Majesty, please Majesty remove Wu Mou, Wu Mou is willing to continue to be a country doctor!"

"Wu Shangshu wants to do this, how dare the subordinates stop him, but please don't mention the subordinates when Wu Shangshu resigned from the official memorial, the subordinates still want to do things for the court for a few more years, if Wu Shangshu let it go , I will remember Wu Shangshu's lifetime kindness."

Qiu Maohua was very happy. Wu Youke, who could be provoked by a few words, wanted to resign and retire, which undoubtedly completely satisfied and relieved his jealousy. He really hoped that Wu Youke would just resign and not do it. .

And Wu Youke, as a pure-hearted doctor, has a natural sense of fraternity, so he has no intention of revenge on Qiu Maohua, but he still couldn't help but snorted angrily. ,

……

However, at this moment, Guo Yunhou's voice came from outside, and Guo Yunhou shouted: "What's going on, why are you two arguing?"

When Qiu Maohua saw that it was Guo Yunhou who was coming, he ran over in a hurry, and at the same time blamed the servant for not notifying Mr. Shang Shu that he was coming.

And Guo Yunhou also pretended to be generous and stroked his beard and said: "Don't blame them, it's my official who told them not to make any noise. I came here to personally hand over the new 30 Tongzhou tax bank from the Ministry of Households to your Shuntian Mansion , according to His Majesty's will, use this as your Shuntian Mansion's fight against the epidemic, and of course more funds will be allocated in the future."

"Your Majesty really loves the people like a son. My subjects in Gyeonggi are really grateful!"

Qiu Maohua knelt down in the direction of the Forbidden City after a few ouches, and kowtowed a few times.

"Hmph, hypocrisy!" Seeing that Guo Yunhou, Minister of the Household Department, had also come, Wu couldn't help but gain some confidence, and said to Guo Yunhou: "Guo Butang, just give me a review. Your Majesty issued an order a few days ago to let Yu The pharmacy used a batch of temporary hoarded medicinal materials to relieve the plague, but the father-in-law of the imperial pharmacy said that these medicinal materials were directly given to the people of Shuntian Mansion, and now that the officials came to ask for them, the governor of Shuntian Mansion, Qiu Maohua, did not back down."

"You are wronged, Guo Butang. You have to let the officials decide. The officials have never seen half a price of medicinal materials entering the Shuntian government office. Where are the medicinal materials from the imperial pharmacy, but this Wu Shangshu went to the court without permission. Not to mention the medicinal materials, but now I come to ask the lower official to ask for it, this is to force the lower official to the road of desperation, the lower official is not a pity to die, but this grievance must be reported!"

As soon as Qiu Maohua said that, he simply knelt down, grabbed the ground with his head, and acted extremely aggrieved.

And Wu saw that he was acting like this, so he couldn't help but feel very angry, and directly shouted angrily: "Qiu Maohua, Guo Butang is here today, don't you pretend to be pitiful here! Did this official swallow the imperial court's medicinal materials and money? Naturally, there will be impeachment by officials of the Kodao and investigation by people from Dongchang, and you are now sitting by and watching a large number of people die from cholera, you are the real culprit!"

"Okay!"

Seeing this, Guo Yunhou, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, simply became a peacemaker.And took Wu Youke's hand: "Youke (Wu Youke's real name is Wu Youxing, and his character is Youke, because everyone is familiar with Wu Youke, so he is called Wu Youke directly here), now is not the time to argue about these things , Now the top priority is how to control the epidemic. You must know that this is the capital city, and His Majesty is in this city. If the plague becomes serious, His Majesty will also be in danger, so you must pay attention to it, but you are arguing and arguing here now. Useless!"

As he said that, Guo Yunhou said: "For the current plan, we can only find a way to re-raise such a batch of medicinal materials and quickly take them out to save the people. It just so happens that I know a medicinal material dealer named Lan Duo. How about taking the 30 taels of silver that I escorted just now to buy a batch of medicinal materials from the merchant in Landuo for emergency use?"

After Guo Yunhou said it, Wu Youke had no choice but to nod in agreement, but he still couldn't help but say: "It's really not enough people to swallow like a snake, even the people's life-saving medicine will be swallowed, let's see if you can play for a few days."

"Wu Shangshu was joking. I'm not a grasshopper, I don't know how to jump, and sooner or later, I will trample you under my feet, and even let you go to prison, because you are not worthy of being in the hall! I bet you , you will be dismissed earlier than the next official!"

As soon as Qiu Maohua, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, finished speaking, Wu Jin rushed in directly with the Dongchang Fanzi: "According to His Majesty's order, Yin Qiu Maohua of Shuntian Prefecture failed to control the epidemic. Why did he dare to harm the people!"
