Chen Shoujie thought that speaking this name would calm his son. If he didn't want to, he would make his son go higher. He hurriedly said, "Son, do you know that Mr. Mo's eldest granddaughter is the princess... Son, use his brain. If the prince hadn't agreed to this, who would dare to do this? Besides, even if the prince was indeed in the dark, he could report it out. Could it be that the prince waved the butcher's butcher's knife at his in-laws? Son, you are not young anymore, you have to know the pros and cons... It's hard to predict. What if... If the prince doesn't want the matter to be exposed, have you ever thought about what the prince would do to you and me?"

Chen Qicai's body was shocked. He realized what his father said. If the prince was unwilling to take action against Mo Zhong Nian, he would naturally want to cover up the matter. Then the waiting for his father and son may be two words - silence!

No matter how strong Chen Qicai was, he was no longer energetic. He was stunned for a moment.

Chen Shoujie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued to persuade: "Son, you think, the prince must be unable to live without Mr. Mo's support. Once Mr. Mo fell, the Finance Department lost his backbone. How could the prince break his arm... So, no matter whether this is reported or not, the prince will not attack Mr. Mo. You, it's better to think about it here. Dad can't stay with you for more, and he still has to welcome the prince."

....

Wu Zheng was still very satisfied after inspecting the journey.

The major workshops are in order and production is smooth.

In particular, the craftsmen's improvement of steam equipment and some wonderful ideas surprised Wu Zheng himself.

So, there were basically no twists and turns. Wu Zheng left after he planned to encourage Chen Shoujie for a few words.

But at this time, Chen Qicai suddenly rushed over.

The guards around him quickly blocked him.

Chen Shoujie's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said, "The dog son is young and does not know etiquette. The subordinate official apologizes to the prince."

Wu Zheng was stunned at first, then waved his hand to let his guard retreat, and said with a smile: "I know him, Chen Qicai, right?"

Chen Qicai was also stunned, "The prince still remembers his subordinates?"

"Haha, remember, you kid was doing a good job in the defense war in Hangzhou." Wu Zheng pointed at Chen Qicai and said.

Then he turned to Chen Shoujie who was kneeling and said, "Get up, Lord Chen... What a big deal, there is no need to apologize."

Then he said to Chen Qicai: "What's the matter with you here?"

Chen Shoujie hurriedly replied: "Prince, the dog son just misses the prince's style and wants to come and see him."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "I am not a beautiful woman, so why do you think of me? Forget it, Chen Qicai has seen me. I will do my best in the future. I will rely on your father and son to build a steam locomotive as soon as possible. At that time, I will be promoted to your official position haha!"

As soon as Wu Zheng finished speaking, Chen Qicai shouted: "Prince, my subordinates want to report it..."

Chen Shoujie was shocked and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Beast, are you crazy?!"

Then he turned to Wu Zheng and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're crazy. I hope the prince will be polite... The official will take him back now."

Chen Qicai still shouted: "Prince, my subordinates are crazy about gains and losses... I have real evidence!"

Chen Shoujie was still waiting to speak, but he saw Wu Zheng's face gradually changing, and he didn't dare to speak again for a moment.

Wu Zheng looked at Chen Shoujie for a long time and sighed slightly, "Chen Shoujie, take care of your son well, do well, don't let my king's trust... take your son away."

Chen Shoujie looked up suddenly, and he looked at Wu Zheng in surprise. He saw a deep disappointment in Wu Zheng's eyes. He suddenly realized that Wu Zheng was afraid that he had misunderstood him and thought he was corrupt and was reported by his son.

At this moment, Chen Shoujie felt endless grievances in his heart. He held back and kowtowed to Wu Zheng, "Thank you for your compassion, and the officials will do their best to live up to the prince's trust."

Wu Zheng did think of some problems, but Wu Zheng also believed that what Chen Qicai wanted to report was his father or some illegal things involving his father. Otherwise, Chen Shoujie would not stop him, nor should he stop him.

But as Wu Zheng always believed that when the water was clear, there would be no fish. Wu Zheng believed that Chen Shoujie was a capable minister and a practical minister. Then, there were some flaws that could not be excessive, and they could be tolerated, especially when preparing for the Northern Expedition, which was very complicated.

Therefore, Wu Zhengquan thought he hadn't heard it, but just warned him to do it.

But Chen Qicai was anxious there. He knelt down and shouted: "Prince, this matter is related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition. Please report it in detail..."

Chen Shoujie looked pale and looked at his son blankly, but fell to the ground.

Wu Zheng's face changed again. He realized that this would not be a trivial matter, otherwise Chen Shoujie should be able to realize his tolerance.

"Come on, bring Chen Qicai."

Chen Shoujie shouted urgently: "Prince..."

Wu Zheng ignored him and turned around and left.

Watching Wu Zheng and his group go away, Chen Shoujie beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing: "This young bastard is so stupid... he has poked such a huge hole!"

....

"Tell me." Wu Zheng said coldly to Chen Qicai.

From the bottom of his heart, Wu Zheng began to feel bored with Chen Qicai, which smeared his previous favoritism for him.

It is undeniable that Wu Zheng is not a person who has a clear distinction between good and evil. This is because Wu Zheng is no longer young anymore. His experiences and experience in his previous life made him very clear that there is no real good and evil in this world. Good and evil, right and wrong will be opposed by different positions.

But Wu Zheng firmly believes that being kind to relatives, friends, and one’s own people is definitely not evil.

Chen Qicai disobeyed his father. No matter what his starting point was, in Wu Zheng's view, this was betrayal, that is, evil.

Reporting and reporting over-level reports is a taboo in the officialdom, not Wu Zheng’s bureaucracy, but doing so will cause great problems, causing responsibilities to be confused and at the same time triggering a gap between superiors and subordinates that is difficult to express.

Wu Zheng was originally a leader. If a soldier crossed the level and ran to the commander to report his comrade or his direct superior, the commander could only push down one level after the commander accepted it. In fact, the direct superior of the soldier had to deal with it. But in this way, the suspicion caused by the superior and subordinate and multiple levels would be more than worth the cost.

Therefore, in principle, no dynasty or army is allowed to sue beyond the level.

Only ordinary people are foolish in thinking that they can sue the emperor in one fell swoop. In fact, for thousands of years, I have never heard of such a lawsuit, except for the stories in the Romance or the story in the book.

Chen Qicai obviously did not distinguish the boredom in Wu Zheng's tone.

He said to Wu Zheng with great pride: "Before talking about the matter, my subordinates dared to ask the prince a question."

"Talk." Wu Zheng said with a blank expression.

"The subordinates are from the Ming Society, who believe in what the prince advocates, are loyal to the country and the nation. But what the subordinates do not understand is, when the interests of the country and the nationality are contrary to the interests of oneself or one's own family or relatives, how to choose?"
