The officials of the state funeral court and the central government should wear plain white linen clothes on the jackets of official uniforms to show respect, the princes and princesses are all filial piety, and the people will withdraw their bright clothes and replace them with plain clothes.

The spirit needs to be guarded by the children of the direct bloodline for three days, and the royal heirs are not rich in the palace, and only the young princess is left in the palace, because she is too young, Mu Jinming is exempted from the princess's vigilance, and the guardians are left with him and Mu Zhao.

Hundreds of officials timely advised the new emperor to cherish the dragon body, not to be overly sad, and other seemingly loyal advice.

Mu Zhao couldn't stand it after kneeling for two whole days, even if his knees were kneeling on the thick mat, he couldn't stand it if he kept a position for a long time, he wanted to see Mu Jinming's jokes, but he couldn't hold on to it first.

If you really want to kneel for three days, his two legs must be wasted, Mu Zhaoxin is unwilling to hinder his body, so he will lose the intention of competing with Mu Jinming, three meals in the morning, noon and evening are not oily, and he is used to eating big fish and meat, and he is a vegetarian eater, and his face is almost green after eating, fortunately, it is summer and winter, and he will not freeze out for a night.

Mu Zhao felt that he should find an excuse to withdraw, it was not that he was not filial and couldn't survive even three days, anyway, his father had always taken a fancy to Mu Jinming, let him be a filial son recited by everyone, it was best to be tired and sick and have a reason to take care of his shortcomings, and it was most important for him to take care of himself.

Mu Zhao sent a message to the courtiers to get himself out, and Mu Zhao had to do it seamlessly, and he couldn't let people spread the infamy of his unfilial piety.

Mu Zhao thought of a tried and tested stupid way to pretend to be sick, fainted on the spot, and the minister of the central government gave another advice, and Shun Shun Lìli could get the name of returning home to recuperate.

Mu Zhao's tricks were obvious at a glance, and Mu Jinming didn't have the time to fight with Mu Zhao on this. borrowed the ladder handed over by the courtiers to follow Mu Zhao's wishes.

Mu Zhao is gone, Mu Jinming is not afraid of grabbing his handle, kneeling in front of the spirit, according to the words of the Xi Dynasty, what is the use of kneeling, if you are not filial in life, why do you have to do these vain things after death. The real filial piety is in the heart, why kneel out, it is nothing more than to block the picky courtiers and block the mouths of the people who take the opportunity to make trouble.

Xi Chao has been living in the palace with Mu Jinming, and accompanying his father until the day of his burial.

In summer, big fish and meat are difficult to eat, Mu Jin Ming doesn't mind the vegetarian soup porridge every day, and occasionally wraps Xi Chaolu's hands, which is extremely comfortable.

The secret guard who rushed to the border to report the good news sent back the news. The congratulatory gifts of the generals of the border gates to congratulate the new emperor on the succession to the throne have been sent quickly, and then they learned the bad news of the death of the first emperor, so they hurriedly dressed up and bowed in the direction of the imperial city. The upper fold is a sign of grief.

Mu Jinming and Xi Chao discussed the situation at the border gates everywhere, and decided to take a look at Zaiding first, Mu Jinming's side deliberately did not move in secret, but Xi Chao's side was not so easy. The relationship between the household departments is intertwined, and even Mu Jinming is a little at a loss. Maintaining a relative balance by relying on strength from time to time can be maintained in the absence of war, and once the problem of food and grass needed for war is exposed.

Hearing that Yan Guo's congratulatory gift was already on the way and Wei Guo's was silent, Xi Chao didn't want to think in the worst direction, Wei Guo was closer to Mu Guo and heard the news the fastest, why was he unmoved, there were too many suspicious places in it, and he couldn't help but transfer some people over. Try to make up for the lack of information.

The rectification of the household department was imminent, and the Xi Dynasty did not allow the household officials to take the money and not do the personnel. Everywhere and the mud to stir up right and wrong, it is really at a critical juncture, there is a business trip, cuò and blame each other, dog bites dog hair.

Xi Chao was still thinking about using Huairou to break the interior of the account opening department step by step, and changed his mind after hearing about Wei Guo's abnormal behavior, no matter what kind of intertwined relationship network he had, all those who were dissatisfied with it were dismissed and returned to their hometowns to eat themselves, and the country's silver grain was not used to feed idlers and raise moths, and they would always spit it out if they ate it.

I don't care if I should use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, what Xi Chao wants to do is to pocket the household by the fastest means. She remembered that Mu Zhao and his faction were attacking the idea of the household department, how could she let those people get their wish.

Xi Chao did not wait for the official day of the errand, entered the household department one day in advance, and ordered someone to open the room where the account books were stored to check one by one, find out the vouchers of the officials borrowing the silver taels from the household department, and count the remaining in the treasury to make a count.

Second, Japan was the day of the previous dynasty, and the tide did not go, so he deliberately came to the household early to sit and wait.

"The master's guards asked when they would go back?" Hongrui has been so busy these days that her feet don't touch the ground, ignoring the matter of the guards, and she just received the message today.

"Why did you run wild?" Xi Chao knows everything about what the guards are doing outside, and he hasn't seen much of his achievements in just two months.

"It's really boring to squat in the minister's mansion, urging Hongming to pass the word to the master." Hongrui couldn't see the master's expression, and didn't dare to laugh unscrupulously.

"The simpler things are, the easier it is to go wrong, and how can you take on heavy responsibilities if you lack patience." The reason why the Xi Dynasty sent guards to keep an eye after all the forbidden troops were withdrawn was to exercise their temperament, and secondly, to monitor the movements of the courtiers.

"Sue them to learn hard, if you really want to mess things up, you don't have to think about going back." Xi Chao put aside his cruel words, hoping that his personal defense ability would be greatly improved.

"Yes." Hongrui went to deliver the message, and when she returned, she saw that the officials of the household department had arrived.

The household official entered the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a person sitting in the courtyard drinking tea leisurely, slightly stunned, and said in his heart, who is this, walked up to take a look, and instantly his scalp tightened, how could the winged king be here!

The officials of the household department were all startled by the sudden arrival of the wing king, and they had not seen him in the court, so how did they come to the household department in a grand manner? For a while, countless questions filled my mind.

The number of rituals that should be observed by the gods can not be abolished, and I came forward to see that the Wing King was not busy entering the house to do his own thing, but standing together with his colleagues, and the Heart Dao Wing King must not be idle and boring to enjoy the flowers, they have to wait for the household servant to come to know the end.

The household department has a book of one person, three products, two waiters are four products, and there are four, one is the household department, the second is the degree branch, the third is the gold department, the fourth is the warehouse department, the household inspector is two, the director is four, the degree branch is two directors, the gold department is the director of three people, the warehouse is the director of the three people, and the people are almost here.

Xi Chao put down the teacup in his hand and said to the officials of the household department: "This king is the first emperor before his death, and he issued an order to temporarily take the post of the head of the household department. ”

The officials of the household department suddenly realized that they all greeted the new household department secretary in order of official rank, and they were sarcastic. The first emperor was sick and confused, and he put the Wing King in the position of the head of the household, and one Ministry of Industry was not enough for the Wing King to toss. meddling in the affairs of the household department, to see what tricks the Wing King, who had lost the favor of the emperor, could play.

There are many people who are not optimistic about the Wing King, although they have also inquired about the Ministry of Industry, but most of those who are just hearsay feel that they do not count, and they are suspected of exaggeration, and they don't believe that a girl who is not very knowledgeable can do great things.

The officials of the household department had the mentality of watching a good show, respectful on their faces, and all kinds of calculations were surging inside. At the beginning, the three princes had some means, but in the end, they still didn't take the household department for their own use, and a winged king who relied on the support of the first emperor could be stronger than the three princes? Jokes, when you say it, you will laugh off your big teeth.

Xi Chao saw the mentality in the eyes of the household officials. There is no time to consider them as generously as they do with the officials of the Ministry of Works, and sometimes they prescribe what medicine they want, and some people will not take it seriously if they are blindly tolerant.

Xi Chao single-handedly showed his purpose, "This king has always liked smart people. Not much nonsense. There are two ways to wait, one is to throw away those careful thoughts that should not be done in a down-to-earth manner, whether you want to be promoted or make a fortune depends on your own appearance, it should be your things that can't run, and it shouldn't be useless if you don't think about it. ”

"This king doesn't like others to play big knives in front of this king, and when the class door gets an axe and smashes his own feet, don't blame this king for not reminding him in advance!" Xi Chao didn't bother to look at the faces of the household officials, "The second way, if you want to go to the new lord and seek another way, this king can ask for it by himself." ”

Before the words fell, the officials were in an uproar. The winged king's tone was so loud that he clearly wanted to remove them. The former road seems to be ordinary but there is a lot of luck in it, which means that the people of the Ministry of Industry are willing to pat the winged king's ass and climb the winged king's power, the officials of the household department have always been stronger and arrogant than the other five officials, the waist pole is hard, who calls the officials are issued by the household department, annoyed the household officials are waiting to go home to eat chaff or drink the northwest wind, with your great ability to have no silver in your hands and still short of breath, just a procrastination trick for various reasons to prevaricate, drag you to the point of being unable to shout, obediently when the grandson admitted.

Of course, today's criminal department is more horizontal than that of the household department, and there is no way to grasp the shortcomings of the criminal department as before, a big hat is buttoned down to control whether you are guilty or not, and the prison of the criminal department is open to you, and how can you take half a step out of the prison of the criminal department without drinking a cup of tea unique to the criminal department.

The Ministry of Household is like a mouse to the Criminal Department, and when it sees a cat, it can hide and hide, and it does not dare to provoke at all, unless it is a suspicion of longevity, the Criminal Department is now the boss among the six departments, no one can reach it, the Ministry of Household ranks second, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is proud to rely on a group of officials to work together to create a better future.

The topic turned back, how could the household officials do what the Winged King wished, and they gave each other glances and were ready to fight back, and they must let the Winged King know the stakes.

"The Wing King is forcibly deposing officials, can there be an emperor's decree or an edict?" It is a big joke to want them to be obedient without evidence, don't read too much of the script, don't have enough brains, and whimsically think that you have this power.

Xi Chao glanced at the speaker unhurriedly, his fingertips lightly tapped the edge of the table and made a muffled sound, and as soon as he raised his hand, Hongrui put a long sword in his master's hand.

The woman in red took out the sword and put it in the hand of the Winged King, and the official who was fortunate enough to see the scene of the emperor giving the sword twisted his eyebrows and secretly said that it was not good, it seems that the Winged King came prepared, carelessly.

"The imperial sword is like seeing the king." Xi Chao stroked the sword body and looked at the household official standing with a smile.

No, the household officials had to kneel down and bow down, the meaning of this sword is too heavy, almost the same as the holy decree, no, even the new emperor is difficult to fight, everyone's faces are not easy to look at, how can they forget that the wing king has this sharp weapon in his hand.

"Choose now, and give you time to think about it." Xi Chao smiled playfully, "This king counts to ten, and says your decision, and those who don't choose it will be regarded as the second way." ”

This is obviously too much coercion and deception! For the first time in their lives for decades, many officials were toyed with and applauded by a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up, their hearts were flying, their faces were ruthless, and they could no longer pretend to be humble and gentlemanly.

Xi Chao said that he started, knocked on the edge of the table and counted while taking care of himself, and looked coldly at the anxious and forbearant expression of the household official, no wonder people often have many faces, and this face became really interesting.

"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten." Xi Chao's voice stopped and looked at the household official, "Now tell me your decision." ”

The household official's eyes kept talking, and he would stop and take a deep breath, and the squire spoke first, "The Wing King is not afraid of the emperor's displeasure if he does this?" "I was unwilling and unwilling to fall into the girl's film, and made sarcastic remarks.

"The household is under the supervision of the king. This king can still be the master of the household. Xi Chao responded indifferently to the ridicule of the officials.

"The Winged King has no right to depose officials without permission." There are officials who rely on the old and sell the old, and they stalk their necks and look angrily at the Wing King who is sitting on the head.

"Oh, you're going to defy the law!" Xi Chao changed his hand and held the sword, and said to the kneeling household official without frowning. "This king doesn't mind the blood staining of the imperial sword, who will be the first person to sacrifice the sword, in order to comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky." The voice is light and long, and it sounds calm and unwavering, but in fact it contains a cold and incomparable murderous intent.

The household officials couldn't help but shudder, the expression on the calm face of the Guanyi King didn't look like a joke, and those officials who deliberately retorted about the Yiwang overstepping their authority closed their mouths, and cold sweat soaked their backs. I can't stir up the slightest idea of denigration.

"Don't talk nonsense, this king has always admired refreshing people, which way to choose or not. Wooer et al. "Xi Chao is impatient and old-fashioned, and he has always said less wasteful words, and it is undoubtedly self-defeating to break with this kind of person.

The officials below looked at each other, and it seemed that they couldn't be good today. The Winged King's move is forcing people to comply. Hateful! Gritted his teeth and made up his mind to embarrass the Wing King.

"The second article of the lower official election." There was one person who opened his mouth one after another, and some people answered, and they all chose the second way, and they intended to see the jokes of the Wing King, and all of them left the Wing King to be the commander of the light pole, and then he was arrogant.

"I took off my official uniform before leaving." That is, she chose the second Lu Xi Dynasty and didn't put on a good face again, she was not so generous that she let people wear official uniforms to go out to make trouble, "The excerpt of resignation is also waived." ”

"You ......" The two veteran waiters blushed with anger and had no good reason to refute. That is, the official uniform of resignation can no longer be worn, but now it is unseemly to take off the official uniform and walk out of the household yamen, not to mention that it will be mistaken for a mistake. The pre-planned Anti-Pollution Wing King was completely lost, and he didn't think about the Wing King's deep calculations.

"Can I wait until I go home and change out of my official uniform?" Someone can't pull down this face, except for the official uniform, there is a white undershirt left, if you go out, you will become the focus of onlookers, where will the whole old face be placed, and you will lose the dead.

"The official uniform is one of them." Xi Chao deliberately embarrassed the old faces of these disrespectful officials, "Before leaving, settle the bottom account." ”

"What's the bottom account?" Everyone is confused, where did the bottom account come from?

"If the Winged King is talking about Curry's accounts, they are all recorded." The squire had to reply, he didn't want to be charged with contempt of the imperial power.

"The household department holds the treasury money and grain, that is, the treasury should belong to the emperor, and some people stretch their hands too long and take things that should not be taken." Xi Chao motioned to Hongrui to read the account, and none of the officials present wanted to run.

"It would be a bit unkind to take the money from the treasury and invest it in another master." Xi Chao swept his cold eyes, and there was a limit to what he wanted to eat.

As the sound of Hongrui's reconciliation sounded, the officials kneeling on the ground were like ashes, where is this to make the account, it is clear that they have taken the handle of filling their pockets and asking for their lives!

"If the money is returned to the treasury, the matter will be settled." The Xi Dynasty will not let go of a person who embezzles it privately, every penny of silver is the blood and sweat of the people, how can it be allowed to be squandered by others at will.

There is no need for King Yi to say the consequences on the contrary, the officials present all know how miserable the consequences will be, the dismissal and investigation are all light, and the lives of the family are all tied to the waist of their pants.

"You can wait for an hour to return it, and you can go home and change your clothes." Xi Chao generously left a thin face for everyone.

What can the officials say, they have to beat the teeth and swallow the blood, the hand of the Wing King plays, and counts all of them, there are eyes without beads, there are eyes without beads! What's the use of saying this now, no amount of words can save the evidence of the crime, where does the Winged King get the evidence?

Xi Chao ordered Hongrui to lead people to follow the officials to collect money from house to house, and those who refused to hand it over were directly sent to the criminal department to wait for the fate.

None of the household officials are fools, and if this matter is stabbed in front of the emperor, the emperor will inevitably punish him strictly and never tolerate it in order to achieve the effect of deterring the dynasty.

They don't want to be the chickens to be slaughtered to make an example of the monkeys, this time it can be regarded as completely planted. planted in the hands of a girl, maybe someone would believe it, and one by one with a bitter face and a depressed head went out of the yamen of the household department and rushed home.

The Xi Dynasty did not block the news from being revealed, but for a moment, the Chinese military officials once again realized the fierce and righteous threat of the Wing King, which made the often arrogant household officials dumb and speechless, and one by one the gourds that looked like saws were led by the nose of the Wing King.

It is not inconvenient for the officials of the Great Prince's faction to gather in one place to discuss countermeasures, these household officials who were taken by the Wing King and forcibly resigned are left with the Great Prince, and the current situation is not to think that these people are cumbersome, the main thing is to find a way to take the household department over, the household department can now be said to be poor and white, the officials have resigned, and the one-winged king alone is a good time to recapture the household department.

The lifeblood of the country is in hand, and the new emperor has to weigh the weight if he wants to move the big prince's faction, so as to choke the throat of the new emperor so that he does not dare to act rashly, and take the household department as the base point, spread and install his own people in the court, so as to achieve the situation that the entire court is under control, and then forcing the new emperor to abdicate will be a sure good situation.

For this reason, the officials of the Great Prince's faction communicated with each other, secretly passed on the news, wrote their ideas concisely on paper, and gathered all of them into the hands of the Great Prince, so as to achieve the thoroughness of the plan without the slightest mistake or omission, and wait for the Wing King to take the opportunity to take action when he chooses people.

The new emperor's current foundation is still shallow, and he needs the support of the courtiers, even if he has the support of the prime minister, how can he last for a long time, people are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and the new emperor should be taught a lesson. (To be continued......)
