Chapter 571: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

As for why the five princes thought of Zhang Yunchao as a person, it was also a coincidence.

A few days ago, when the carriage of the five princes passed through the downtown area, they found that the road in front of them was blocked, and they sent someone to check and found that it was a donkey cart that had scratched with the pedestrian, and the pedestrian stopped the donkey cart and claimed 20 taels of silver, otherwise he refused to let it go. The owner of the donkey cart was a middle-aged man who looked honest and had a bitter face.

The Five Princes were in a hurry to enter the palace at that time, and they wanted to send people to expel them all, but the advisors who followed him persuaded them to be in the middle of the city, and to rudely expel the people, in case anyone was injured, the reputation of the Five Princes would be damaged. He saw that the two pimpies were obviously playing tricks, and proposed that the five princes send someone to preside over justice, so that not only could they not delay any time, but they could also gain a good reputation of being gentle and loving to the people in front of the common people.

The fifth prince thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he sent the counselor down to mediate. Seeing that the prince had sent someone, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention the compensation anymore and ran away, and the road was open to see the lively people disperse, and the five princes rushed into the palace.

The fifth prince has been very busy recently, and he didn't take this matter to heart, and he didn't want someone to send Xie Yi to his mansion the next day - two salted fish and dried vegetables in large bamboo baskets. The people of the Five Princes' Mansion had never seen such a simple thank-you gift, and they thought that someone had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and deliberately came to make trouble, but they saw that there was a gift slip left in the gift, signed by Zhang Yunchao, the prefect of Jiangzhou.

The steward felt that this matter was very strange and reported it, and the fifth prince only then knew that the middle-aged man who was blocked by two splashes that day turned out to be the prefect of Jiangzhou. The dignified prefect is embarrassed to this point, and it doesn't count if he is bullied at will, and even coming to the prince's mansion to give a thank you gift is so shabby, this matter is rumored to be a joke in the Five Princes' Mansion. The fifth prince also remembered such a person as Zhang Yunchao in his busy schedule.

Later, the five princes learned that Liu Jiyong's promotion to the head of the household department was not successful, and they couldn't find anyone to replace him for a while, so they were so anxious that Zhao Yunchao was mentioned.

The fifth prince is not very satisfied with Zhang Yunchao's nature, in his opinion, Zhang Yunchao's temperament is still stubborn and straightforward, such a person is not good for him. The staff persuaded that if they couldn't find a suitable person, the position of the secretary of the household department would become the bag of the six princes. Although Zhang Yunchao is not very easy to use, but the six princes also can't use him, besides, compared to the six princes, Zhang Yunchao must be closer to the five princes, after all, the five princes first helped him out of the siege, and he has the grace to support him, how can you say that there is also a bit of affection?

The fifth prince thought about it and felt that it made sense, anyway, choosing Zhang Yunchao now is just an expedient measure, if he is really difficult to handle in the future, he will be replaced by another person. And it's good to have a bit of a bad personality, he can install more available people in the household.

So there was the scene of early chaos.

Although Zhang Yunchao has no connections in the court, his ability to talk a lot is still very popular, although he is inconspicuous on weekdays, people can't think of such a person, but from Emperor Tiancheng to the Manchu Dynasty, no one can find fault with him.

The six princes originally thought that the five princes would choose another confidant after abandoning Liu Jiyong, but the people that the six princes planned to recommend were carefully selected, and their qualifications were deeper than Liu Jiyong and the other candidates of the five princes, so he thought that he was winning this time, who thought that the five princes would not play cards according to the rules this time, and the original preparations of the six princes would not be used.

Zhang Yunchao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the head of the household department at present, if the sixth prince pushes his own people up, he is worried that his father and courtiers will feel that he is too selfish, and it is better for the fifth prince to take care of the overall situation.

So when Emperor Tiancheng asked everyone's opinions, the ministers couldn't say anything bad about Zhang Yunchao, and the six princes gritted their teeth and remained silent. In the end, the post of head of the household department fell to Zhang Yunchao.

The six princes did not move Liu Jiyong for the time being.

When the five princes and the six princes were not good-looking, but the five princes thought that they had won a game in front of the six princes, so they pretended to be very light on the surface.

After the six princes returned, they convened a staff meeting.

"What do you think of today's events?" The sixth prince has always shown generosity in front of his subordinates, so even if his heart is full of anger, he also makes himself look calm.

After the staff discussed for a while, someone got up and replied: "Your Highness, the Fan family has thrown themselves into the camp of the five princes. ”

The other said, "Yes, Your Highness. The fifth prince temporarily replaced Liu Jiyong and pushed Zhang Yunchao up, he must have known the news that we deliberately released to the Fan family, which is enough to prove the position of the Fan family. ”

Although the sixth prince had already guessed, he still sank in his heart when he really came to this conclusion.

The staff said again: "Moreover, the subordinates guessed that it was Fan Yun's intention to let Zhang Yunchao take the position." ”

The sixth prince was taken aback, "You mean, Zhang Yunchao is actually Fan Yun's person?"

The staff thought for a while, "This subordinate doesn't dare to make a judgment, but Fan Yun's influence in Qingliu is obvious to all, and Zhang Yunchao used to work under Yang Shangshu at the beginning, and the relationship between the Fan family and the Yang family is very close, and it is not unusual for Zhang Yunchao and Fan Yun to be implicated." Otherwise, how could it happen to be him? Although Zhang Yunchao has some talents, he is too inconspicuous on weekdays, and if no one pushes him, he is afraid that he will die of old age in office. When he was in the household department, he once took an IOU to the official's house to collect debts, which offended many people, and if no one secretly protected him, it would be difficult for him to get to this day. ”

The sixth prince squinted, his face was a little cold, "Fan Yun ......"

He Linwan also received a secret report from Zhang Yunchao as the head of the household department.

However, He Linwan glanced at Hu Yao with a smile and said, "Zhang Yunchao is a member of your family?"

Hu Yao was curious: "How did the girl know?"

Zhang Yunchao was a dark chess game laid out by the Jin Dynasty in the early years, except for Li Yu himself and a few henchmen, no one knew his identity, even if he guessed the head of the Fan family, he would not guess Li Yu's head.

He Linwan tapped the densely written secret report in his hand with his finger, and said: "Guess, this kind of twist and turn scheme is the handwriting of your family at first glance." ”

The fox touched his nose and smiled a little awkwardly.

Is the girl turning around the corner and scolding her master for having a lot of eyes?

Hu Yao actually misunderstood that He Lin was late, and He Linwan was very happy when he saw this secret report.

The sixth prince originally revealed Liu Jiyong's news to her because he wanted to find out the bottom of the Fan family, but Li Yu killed two birds with one stone. Not to mention the position of the head of the household department, he also succeeded in getting the six princes to put this account on the head of the Fan family.

Li Yu has never disappointed He Linwan.
