Hearing Chen Hong say this, Zhu Youxiao withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, and said in a casual tone: "Just look at the arrangement, get all the things done as soon as possible, so that you can move over." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid immediately arranged for someone to do it. Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Looking at the back of Chen Hong leaving, Zhu Youxiao shook his head and walked to the outside of the main hall.

Lying on the jade railing, looking at the blue sky in the distance and the sea of clouds slightly tumbling with the wind, Zhu Youxiao felt some relaxation and comfort.

This trip out of the palace made his originally hesitant heart completely settle down, and he also found the direction of the next step.

The road ahead is bumpy, so it's better to find a relatively safe place to stay.

Xiyuan is very deserted now, and after you move over, you can get all the people in there, and then screen out some people who are enough to believe in you to bring them over, so as to ensure the safety of your life.

At the same time, the place in the West Garden is relatively spacious, which is suitable for doing some other things by yourself.

The palace is so big, it may be difficult to tell who is loyal and who is thoughtful. Because there are too many people, the human heart is too complicated.

But it is easier to choose some faithful people. The chamberlains and maids of the inner court have been purged several times, and if there is anything suspicious, there is no need to do it.

So this is a good way to ensure safety, Zhu Youxiao is ready to move to Xiyuan.

As for the queen and the two concubines, they naturally had to be brought over.

Forget the others, just stay here.

After arriving at Xiyuan, I can start planning and implementing new things.

It's just that you still have to think about how to get started.

The news that His Majesty is going to move to Xiyuan naturally cannot be hidden. After the news spread, the attitude of everyone in the court was different.

Like Xu Guangqi, Shen Tingyun and others, they think it's not a big deal, Your Majesty can live wherever he likes, and there is no big construction, so why bother? Besides, Your Majesty didn't waste business, why should they care?

But some people think that it is not good, the place in Xiyuan is not good, once His Majesty lives there, it will remind people of Emperor Jiajing; In addition, His Majesty still has a Taoist priest in the palace, which is even more unsettling. So they felt that His Majesty should not be allowed to move to Xiyuan.

In fact, these two attitudes are not just simple attitudes, but represent two forces in the court, or two trends.

One of the factions was led by Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun, who advocated less interference in the affairs of the emperor's palace for the courtiers, which was not for the courtiers.

The other faction believes that the emperor's affairs are not private, only state affairs, so the courtiers should be in charge of it, and they must be in charge.

This one is actually a remnant of the Donglin Party. In the past, when the Donglin Party was there, some people attacked their view, thinking that they interfered too much in the affairs of the emperor's harem, which was not what a courtier should do.

Although the Donglin Party has been uprooted, this idea still remains in the minds of some officials who have been poisoned by the Donglin Party for a long time.

As for how the outside world disturbed and how the two factions fought, Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all; The inscriptions on this aspect that were sent to the palace were not read at all, and all of them were left in the middle.

For an emperor, the most important thing is not that someone says something, but that someone does something for you.

How many people are dissatisfied with Yan Song, and how many people impeach Yan Song all day long, but what's the use of that?

As long as Yan Song can gather a group of people to do things for the emperor, then he can't do it. For the emperor, Yan Song was a useful courtier. As for whether those people are mouth cannons or not, let them be.

There was a lot of disturbance outside the palace, but inside it was busy moving.

At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside the imperial court had entered a substantial stage of consolidation.

Once this integration is completed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will become the grand steward inside and outside the palace.

The first is the cost of the palace, all of which must be recalculated and purchased.

The second is the industry in the palace, including Huangzhuang and some factories and craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Bureau, which also need to be incorporated into the internal composite system, which is a very large project.

Although it seems that you can just use it, in fact it is not like that.

If you can really get it back and use it, what is the difference between it and before?

What I want is to be different from before, so I will set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If anyone dares to make the Internal Affairs Office the same as before, then he doesn't have to do it.

So in a situation like this, it's a bit more onerous.

However, no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs complained, but they were very excited. Originally, everyone thought that the Internal Affairs Office was a very powerful yamen, but the external perception was that of the emperor's retainers, so things were not easy to handle, and the reputation would not be good.

But when they actually arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they found that this was not the case.

The power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not ordinarily large, and it is beyond their imagination. And if you do a good job in the Internal Affairs Office, when the time comes, whether you are sent to a local area or enter the center of the imperial court, it will be okay. This makes people more motivated.

Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still a newly established yamen, everyone is more familiar with the work process, so they quickly became acquainted.

But on this day, there was something that no one understood, that is, there was suddenly an extra yamen in the Internal Affairs Office.

This makes everyone have some differences, and it seems that there is no such yamen in the first place. What's going on?

So when the yamen was put up a sign, many people came to see it.

Audit Division.

The name is a little weird, but it gives people a sense of intimateness and unfriendliness. Therefore, everyone is cautious about this yamen, and no one knows what this audit department yamen does, is it used for internal audit?

Isn't there already an inspection department? What else does an audit department do?

Soon people began to come and go in and out of the audit department, and onlookers realized that these were all unfamiliar faces. No one knows where these people came from.

Seeing Zhang Guoji, the grandfather of the country, coming out of it, everyone all smiled and surrounded him, wanting to ask for something to come out.

In terms of official affairs, the national abbot is the foreman minister in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is ranked first. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has set up a new yamen, and it is impossible for the abbot not to know about it.

From the perspective of personal affairs, Zhang Guoji is His Majesty's father-in-law, and His Majesty will definitely discuss this kind of matter of setting up a new yamen, and at least give him a message. So the kokujo should know.

"Guozhang, where are all these people from? I've never seen it before. ”

"Master Guo, this audit division ......"

"Guojo ......"

However, Zhang Guoji seemed to disappoint them, and he didn't mean to tell them about this at all, just waved his hand and stood there quietly watching, as if these had nothing to do with him.

It's just that Zhang Guoji clearly knows in his heart that the Audit Department will become the core yamen of the Internal Affairs Office in the future, but it has nothing to do with him. Because all the people up and down this yamen came out of the palace.

Even if it didn't come out of the palace, it was brought by the chief official of this yamen. As for who this chief official is, Zhang Guoji really knows.

This person came out of the British government, it seems that his name is Hu Fei, and he used to be a businessman.

For this Hu Fei, Zhang Guoji is very disdainful.

This person first relied on nepotism, which made Zhang Guoji very ashamed. As for himself, Zhang Guoji would not think so.

Although he was the father of the queen. But he believes that it is his own ability to be reused; And this Hu Fei is completely dependent on relationships.

The second is the arrogance of the reader. Zhang Guoji not only looked down on the nobles and relatives, but he also looked down on these businessmen, especially businessmen like Hu Fei.

But this Hu Fei has been reused, and it seems that the British public has made great efforts. Although the person who came here was Hu Fei, this person was a British duke.

It seemed that the time was almost up, and someone finally walked in outside, a thin middle-aged man.

Everyone felt that the person who came had some faces, and they had never seen them before, so they hesitated a little and didn't meet them.

Zhang Guoji's face suddenly became a little ugly, he recognized this person, this person was Hu Fei.

"You're waiting for me?" Hu Fei looked at this group of people, arched his hand with a smile, and then said to Zhang Guoji: "See the lord, the lord is waiting for me here, but what do you have to order?" ”

"I heard that you are here today, this official came to take a look, and at the same time I have a few words to tell you." Zhang Guoji looked at Hu Fei expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "You are a businessman, and it is your blessing and honor to be reused by Your Majesty and recruited into the Internal Affairs Mansion." ”

"So you have to be careful in everything you do, and you can't do some messy things. The official will watch you anytime and anywhere, and once something goes wrong, the palace will definitely not spare you. ”

"Of course, if you do something meritorious, the official will also report it to His Majesty to show you merit. As long as you do things well, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will still have a place for you. But you have to learn to do your duty, you know? ”

Hu Fei's face did not change at all, and he arched his hand with a smile and said, "Lord Xie reminded you, the lower officials know." ”

The faces of the people present have changed slightly, and it can be said that they have different thoughts, but they can't see what everyone thinks.

It seems that Zhang Guoji's subordinate Ma Wei is playing well, it can be said that he is a combination of grace and power, but it is full of loopholes. This has made many people think differently.

As for the Hu Fei in front of him, he also let everyone know another thing. This person can come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is with His Majesty's consent. And he's still a businessman, so there's something interesting.

Either Hu Fei is particularly capable, or this person is particularly rooted, so he can sit in this position.

Or maybe he has both ability and roots, that's why he is so indifferent. In the face of Guozhang's words, this person's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and the smile that seemed to have not heard anything, made everyone notice a trace of unusualness.

When Zhang Guoji left, Hu Fei arched his hand to everyone and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you." It's just that my audit department has just been established, and there are internal and external disputes, so I won't keep you any longer. After the official has straightened everything out, I will get close to you. ”

Although Hu Fei's words were polite, he was actually driving people away.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, this Hu Fei didn't look like a person who couldn't do things, but what does this attitude mean?
