Chapter 169: Emperor's Mind Technique

As soon as the court meeting dispersed, the officials left Ouchi separately, and Qian Jingtong, who walked the fastest, had also returned to Yanshoufang's home at this moment.

As soon as Qian Jingtong entered the house, Qian Xiaojing, the head of the Qian family, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him.

"What's the situation?" As soon as they met, Qian Xiaojing couldn't wait to ask.

"Alas!" Qian Jingtong could only shake his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaojing chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Alas, the Holy Lord has already agreed to set up a city department! In a few days, the Political Affairs Hall has approved the regulations of the Ministry of Households, and the Holy Lord will announce it to the world after using the seal!" Qian Jingtong replied.

"How can this be? Can't you even ask the household department to collect taxes?" asked Qian Xiaojing, with white lips.

This was their last compromise, if they really couldn't prevent the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Division, they instigated the ministers to persuade the Holy Lord to absorb the functions of the Municipal Shipping Division from the Household Department, after so many years of infiltration, they, the maritime business group, would have already eroded the key departments in the Yamen from the central to the local Household Department, even Cao Rui's old guy usually did not take their filial piety.

If a new independent yamen is established, then their efforts over the years will be in vain, and it is possible that the northern family forces will take the opportunity of the market to infiltrate the maritime trade in the south, so their losses will be even greater!

But as long as it is still led by the household department, relying on the contacts accumulated before, then it is simply a change of soup and not a change of medicine, what was it in the past, and what it will be in the future.

"This city division is still hanging in the household department, but it's just ......" Qian Jingtong felt a palpitation when he remembered the scene in the court just now, and he hesitated when he spoke.

"What's it? Oops, Jingtong, can you speak smartly!" Qian Xiaojing urged.

"It's just that the saint said that this city division should be in charge of Zou Run, and the first director is still a person with seven sects and five surnames!"

"What? Seven Sects and Five Surnames? They really intervened!" Qian Xiaojing understood the whole story as soon as he heard it, if it weren't for the seven sects and five surnames, these northern family forces, their guarantee plan should not be unsuccessful.

After all, although the establishment of a new yamen means more official positions, and it can also give all parties an opportunity to expand their strength, but it will also add a lot of variables to this, this kind of thing is unwilling to be seen by those bigwigs who are already giants in the court, so Qian Xiaojing still has a lot of confidence in the original plan, but he didn't expect the seven sects and five surnames to interfere!

"Not only did they meddle, but they also used very domineering methods!" At this time, Qian Jingtong also recovered from the shock just now, and then said: "They actually gave full play to their strength at one time this time, nearly half of the civil officials!"

"They ...... on the Golden Temple"

Then Qian Jingtong recounted the scene he had just watched at the court meeting, and even now he is still shocked and puzzled.

"What......? What are they doing here? Isn't this to provoke the suspicion of the saints in vain? Do you want to do this for the sake of some maritime trade in the south?" Qian Xiaojing couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out very much!

The Seven Sects and the Five Surnames are clearly demonstrating to the Holy God this time! What do they want to do?

"Isn't it! The saint was furious at that time, so he demoted Cui Jianyu's old guy to be the director!" Qian Jingtong said.

Qian Xiaojing didn't seem to hear it, and still muttered in a low voice.

Seeing this, Qian Jingtong had no choice but to call out loud: "Family master, what should we do now?"

Zou Run...... Cui Jianyu...... Household ...... City Ship Division...... Seven Sects and Five Surnames ......"

Qian Xiaojing muttered to himself in a low voice, and when Qian Jingtong asked again, he raised his head and said, "Oh no! I must go back to Yangzhou immediately! The matter of Chang'an will be handed over to you, and you will directly use the letter of the highest level in the family to pass it and keep in touch!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Qian Jingtong to ask anything more, and ran straight towards the gate of the Qian Mansion......

In Chang'an City, in the Taiping Fang side by side with Yanshou Fang, the second middle-aged official who rushed out of the palace after Qian Jingtong also returned home at this moment.

"That's how things are! Go back and talk to Brother Wan, this time I really can't help you, it's really shameless!" said the middle-aged man to a fifty-year-old man in front of him with an apologetic face.

"Master Pei's words are serious!, Master Pei asked me to come here to ask you to help, it is the will of heaven that things cannot be done, Lord Pei does not need to mind!" the old man bowed slightly and said.

This person is Wan'an, who came quickly from Yuzhang!

In other words, the grandmaster-level master is not ordinary! The feat that the other Wang family spent ten thousand miles of BMW worth 10,000 gold plus the legs of a foundation building master on the piggyback, Wan An only relied on his legs to achieve the feat, and he was still standing here calmly.

Pei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, not only facing Wan'an, a grandmaster-level master, but also as an official who came to the door at the first time in the Wanjia at a critical moment, Pei Xuan's relationship with the Wanjia was naturally extraordinary, and he naturally had an unattainable understanding of this low-key family in the far south. It is precisely because he knows the strength of Wanjia that he will immediately mobilize the power in his hands as soon as the other party comes to the door to help Wanjia.

Although Wan An said politely just now, Pei Xuan failed to complete the task entrusted by the Wan family, and he was inevitably uneasy in his heart, but fortunately, Wan An, as a generation of grandmasters, could not do anything violent and hurtful, so Pei Xuan's heart was a little more settled.

"Then I don't know what else needs to be served next?" Pei Xuan really didn't know how to call Wan An, it stands to reason that he and Wan Dezhao are called brothers, and it is nothing to call Wan Dezhao's minion by his name, but the other party is a generation of grandmasters! If Wan An had a better temper, like other grandmasters, they would not have bothered to say a word to him.

But if you call it respectfully, what if you meet Wan Dezhao in the future?

Our Master Pei is really entangled! Simply avoid the title, anyway, there are only the two of them in the room, and there is no worry that the other party can't understand.

Wan An naturally couldn't guess the entanglement in the other party's heart, and even if he really knew, Wan An wouldn't care.

"Master Pei, please relax, we still have a chance!" Wan An said calmly when he heard this.

"Oh?" Pei Xuan's face showed a hint of doubt.

"Emperor Xuanzong is worthy of being the emperor who ascended the throne in blood, and the emperor's heart has long been melted into his bones!" Wan An still had that calm expression, and when he saw a lip open and closed, the words came out: "Although the actions of the seven sects and five surnames today made Emperor Xuanzong angry, the decision he made was still in line with what a generation of masters should be. ”

Cui Jianyu angered him, he demoted him to a small director, since this city division is in charge of Zou Run, then Cui Jianyu's grade as the director is naturally not high, but after all, this city department is a key yamen, and pinched the key points of the Southeast Sea merchant families, since it is the two families who are fighting, then Emperor Xuanzong simply let them fight more directly, but he sat behind his back and watched. ”

"And that Zou Run, originally the establishment of this city division will inevitably cause another competition in the court, but the emperor still placed it under the household department, and the grade given is not high, plus Zou Run, the chief official who does not enter the oil and salt, can suppress the impact of the power of this yamen on the entire court to the greatest extent, presumably Zou Run's subordinates selected by that time should all be Jinshi from a poor family. ”

In addition, it is precisely because this newly established yamen involves the attention of many forces that Emperor Xuanzong can also take this opportunity to see the specific distribution of the major forces in the Qing Dynasty and prepare for his next step to suppress the power of the family. ”

"If the dragon has a reverse scale, he will die if he touches it! The seven sects and five surnames came out today, which has aroused a new round of jealousy of Emperor Xuanzong against the wealthy family, and the subsequent suppression is also expected. ”

Wan An's words were calm, and he didn't have much awe for Li Longji, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, but he wiped out the analysis of Li Longji's appearance at the court meeting in a moment, which made Pei Xuan, who was sitting there, gasp.

"I really didn't expect this minion around Wan Dezhao to have such keen insight!" Pei Xuan exclaimed in his heart.

For Li Longji's actions, Pei Xuan, as an experienced official, naturally will not be unaware of it, but even he is not as clear and thorough as Wan An's analysis, this Wan An is not only a genius in martial arts, but also has such a high attainment in politics, Pei Xuan can't help but sigh again at the depth of the family heritage!

Wan An could guess the other party's feelings through Pei Xuan's surprised eyes, and he was also faintly relieved in his heart, there is no way! The Wanjia family does not go out directly, and the influence on the court can only rely on these officials who are close to the Wanjia.

But no matter how close the relationship is, it is not this family after all, and if you want to make them obedient, you can only let them maintain their reverence for the Wan family, rather than relying on some previous favors.

After all, gratitude depends on conscience, and awe is accompanied by fear, not everyone has a conscience, but everyone has fear.

In order to maintain Wanjia's influence on the court, Wan An can only express his appearance!

The effect is also obvious.

"It's precisely because of the chaos in the city that we still have a chance!" Good night ended his deterrence with this sentence.

"Okay, Master Pei, I will stay soon, I will go back to Yuzhang to return to the master, if there is anything else in the future, I will give news to Master Pei!" After speaking, Wan An arched his hand towards Pei Xuan, which was regarded as a farewell.

"Okay! If Brother Wan has any other orders, just say a word!" Pei Xuan hurriedly got up and said to him.

Pei's mansion is not big, and Pei Xuan is not from a big family, so when he was young, he would have to rely on the power of the Wanjia, and now although he is a high-ranking official on the fourth grade, he still has no financial resources to buy a big mansion in this Chang'an City.

This is a cup of tea, Pei Xuan sent Wan An to the door of the mansion, silently looked at Wan An's quickly departing figure, and only turned around and returned to the house after a long time.
