There is an elegantly decorated, but luxurious house near Rendian in Yanglou Street, Bianliang City, which is the family residence of Chu Ji of the Inquisitor's Court and the Zhiyuan, at this time, Chu Luo and Chu Qian, who are younger brothers, have come here with their respective relatives, and under Chu Ji's warm greeting, the family gathers in the backyard.

Today is not so much the day when the Chu family celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival, but the time when the three brothers of the Chu family take this opportunity to gather as a family and contact their feelings, so in the backyard, Chu Ji did not make any moves, but lightly instructed the servants in the house to prepare holiday supplies and prepare a wine banquet, but he chatted with the two brothers.

The female relatives on the side also seem to understand this truth, Yingying Yanyan, a group of people sat together and talked about family life, and several Chu family juniors have become the objects of their teasing and teasing, especially Chu Jue, who is less than four years old, has a fat round face and doesn't know how many times he has been bullied, and his face is full of cherry red lip prints.

The female dependents and children were joking and having fun over there, but the three Chu brothers talked about the temple.

"Junrui, what has Ye Xiangke done recently?" Wearing a slight purple brocade suit, his appearance is somewhat similar to Chu Luo and Chu Qian, but he is older than the two, and his demeanor is more calm, and between his gestures, Chu Ji, who has the majesty of a superior person, asked with a smile.

In February, Ye Qingchen wrote to Song Renzong, believing that the third division is the most important financial organ in the country, responsible for state funds and all other expenditures, but the source of funds for the three divisions must rely on the common supply of the country's 17 roads, which requires capable officials to deal with it specifically, and in recent years, Jinghu and other roads have too much money and food for the imperial court, and if this drawback is not reformed in time, the country's financial losses will become greater and greater.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen suggested that some talented officials should be selected to serve as transit envoys and deputy envoys from various routes, handle the money and property provided to the imperial court, and divide their political achievements into six grades.

Since the emperor gave the order, as a member of the Inquisitor's Court, Chu Ji was naturally really busy for this matter, and the officials from all walks of life who were named also complained, Ye Qingchen's implication was not that he was not capable enough? If you leave such a stain on your resume, then how can you let the emperor be promoted in the future.

Some officials with real talent and real learning will naturally not worry, but there are also some officials who are weak-minded, but they dare not oppose it openly, that is only to take the route of saving the country on the curve, and can sit in the position of various transfer envoys, and connections are naturally indispensable, so the inquisitor in charge of the assessment is naturally greeted by the court up and down.

What kind of person's favor should be given, and what person's favor can be refused, Chu Ji naturally divided it clearly, and it took more than a month to finally get this matter done, but he still complained about Ye Qingchen in his heart, after all, he made the idea, and he was the one who took the credit, and the matter of offending people was pushed to the Inquisition's Court, even if he knew that Ye Qingchen's suggestion was completely out of justice, Chu Ji couldn't help but complain a few words.

And Chu Luo is the chief official of the Salt and Iron Division Tea Case under the jurisdiction of the Third Division Yamen, and he is also nominally an official under Ye Qingchen, but in fact, he is several levels behind, and he usually does not have the opportunity to contact Ye Qingchen at all, so Chu Ji will ask Chu Luo in a joking tone if he knows Ye Qingchen's situation.

"Since the last time, several other ministers in the political hall have rarely complained about Ye Xiang, I heard that Chen Xianggong also privately complained that Ye Xiang did not greet him in advance, making him very passive, at this time, even if Ye Xiang is not moved by foreign affairs, he will not do anything." Of course, Chu Luo couldn't have known, and smiled as he talked about the news he had heard from elsewhere.

"Big brother, listening to the people below, even several of Ye Xiang's protégés have a lot of complaints about this matter, and it's not true or false." It's all his own family, and it won't be spread out anyway, Chu Qian also talked about hearsay with interest.

"They naturally have a slight resignation, it is rare to have such an opportunity, I don't know how many people are staring at the position of the various transfer envoys, but Ye Xiang did not take care of them, but let the Inquisitor Court take charge of this matter, can you not complain in your heart?" Chu Luo laughed, the transfer envoy, control the financial power all the way, who is not tempted, if it is not for his own qualifications, I am afraid that he will have to let the eldest brother do activities for himself.

"Ye Xiang is upright, and he can't hold half a grain of sand in his eyes, so he naturally won't have selfish thoughts." Chu Ji smiled and admired.

"Ye Xiang has been in the position of the third envoy for more than two years, and it's time to change people, right?" Chu Luo said cautiously, looking at Chu Ji gently.

Out of the balance of power, such as the Zhongshu Province, the Third Division, the Privy Council and other department governors who hold the power of the central government, it is basically impossible for them to be in power for a long time, even if the emperor trusts them no matter how much they trust, they will have to be changed once in a few years, and Ye Qingchen's action this time has touched the nerves of many people, although no one said it explicitly, but the people in the court who have a keen sense of smell have also received the news, and many officials have written to the emperor to let the emperor move Ye Qingchen's position, the reason is very simple, he has been in power for a long time, and he is afraid of change, so he should abdicate and avoid suspicion.

Of course, it's not that Chu Luo is interested in this position, even if Ye Qingchen really retires, according to seniority, how can it not be his turn, Chu Luo is still very self-aware about this, just want to know, if Ye Qingchen really retires, who is expected to take over as the third envoy.

"Perhaps." Chu Ji smiled and did not answer directly.

"But I don't know who can take over this important task." Chu Luo was in high spirits when he heard this, and his eyes stared at Chu Ji without blinking, hoping to get an answer from him.

"It depends on what the officials and the ministers mean." Chu Ji said with a smile.

"What can the official family mean, it is naturally humbly admonished." Knowing that Chu Ji was afraid that he would know, he couldn't help but make friends and revealed the rumors, so he didn't tell himself clearly, and Chu Luo had no choice but to say with regret on his face.

"My lord, there are a few officials visiting outside the door." After a moment of absence, a servant stepped forward and respectfully presented the visitor's name thorn.

"It's the Dragon Boat Festival, it's rare to take a day off, and it doesn't let people stop for a while." After taking the famous thorn, he found that there were a few people who couldn't be seen by himself, Chu Ji shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and said: "Junrui, to it, you talk first, I'll go back." ”
