Chapter 217: The Means of King Su

The controversy reached an impasse, and due to the inaction of the two adults, Li Liang, the head of the household department, and Cui Can, the right attendant, Fan Biao, the left attendant of the household department, was a little lacking in confidence, even though he had the support of the four divisions under the household department.

In contrast, the opinions of the Ministry of War are quite unanimous at first glance, all of them are to obtain a part of the benefits from the hands of the Ministry of Households, and as for the Ministry of Industry, Meng Kui's attitude seems to be a little hesitant, hoping to fight for some benefits for their Ministry of Industry, but he is embarrassed to speak.

As for the other three, except for the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Society, who came to take a look at the excitement, no one from the other Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department even came.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hongrun had some realization in his heart.

"Let's change places, don't quarrel with my father and the three ministers of Zhongshu to deal with government affairs. …… Go to the King's Wenzhao Pavilion! ”

Dropping a sentence, Zhao Hongrun took the lead and walked outside the hall.

Seeing this, the ministers in the palace turned their heads to look at Wei Tianzi after looking at each other.

To be honest, although Wei Tianzi doesn't care about the distribution of that huge amount of money and goods, but then again, watching these well-dressed ministers of the DPRK and China talk about it for the benefit of the headquarters, isn't this a pastime?

However, since his son Zhao Hongrun has talked about this, even if he has a little regret in his heart, he can't say anything, so he said to Lin Yuyang, the Chinese book order: "Lin Qing, take the stack of music you have reviewed and bring it to me to see." ”

Obviously, this is a hint, implying that the ministers in the palace, he, the emperor of Great Wei, does not want to meddle in the money and things, and asks them to deal with it themselves.

Seeing this, all the ministers in the palace comprehended, and after saluting Wei Tianzi, they withdrew from the vertical arch hall one after another.

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Hongrun returned to the Wenzhao Pavilion where he lived, and came with him this time. And, of course, the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Entering his bedroom, Zhao Hongrun instructed the palace maids in the hall to serve tea, and immediately knelt on the main seat of the front hall without saying a word, and raised his hand to signal these ministers to take their seats.

The ministers looked at each other, and then sat down on either side of the hall.

What is interesting is that the officials of the household department, led by Fan Biao, the left attendant of the household department, reserved seats for their two adults, Li Liang, the secretary of the household, and Cui Can, the right attendant. But Li Liang and Cui Can, however, seemed to ignore this and deliberately sat on the other side.

"That's interesting......

Li Wei, the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you quietly glanced at Fan Biao, who was ugly, and pretended that nothing had happened, and also sat on the other side.

As a result, in the front hall of Wenzhao Pavilion, except for Shangshu Li Liang and the right attendant Cui Can, the household officials sat in one row, and some other ministers sat in another row, faintly with a clear meaning.

And Zhao Hongrun obviously noticed this scene. With a slightly surprised gaze, he glanced back and forth at Li Liang, Cui Can, and Fan Biao.

At this moment, even a fool can see that there is a problem within the household department, and this problem is obviously about political sidelines.

Fan Biao, the left attendant of the household department, had obviously stood on the side of the prince of the East Palace, otherwise, he would not spare any effort to reap a benefit for the East Palace.

As for Shangshu Li Liang and the right attendant Cui Can, combined with the fact that a while ago, King Yongwang Hongyu visited the household almost every day. And assist the household department in raising supplies, so it can be guessed. These two may be on the side of King Yong's Hongyu.

Of course, it is also possible that these two adults simply want to remain neutral, just like the Ministry of Rites, just watching the excitement from the sidelines.

In other words, what Zhao Hongrun wants to target at the moment is Fan Biao, the left waiter of the household department. and the chiefs of the four divisions under the head of the household department, that is, the four shirou who directly lead the "household department", "degree branch", "gold department", and "warehouse department".

Don't think that Shirou's official position is not big, you must know that Shirou is the head of the department and can be understood as the person in charge. Assist Shang Shu and Shilang to manage the principals, officials, and public officials in the official office, and it is not an exaggeration to say that if the four Shilang join forces and secretly make evil, even if it is their top boss, Shangshu and Shilang, they will have to be set aside.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this is unlikely to happen, unless, unless they have a stronger backer, enough to offend their immediate boss.

For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the five adults in the household department, Fan Biao, the left waiter, Yan Zheng, the director of the department, He Yang, the director of the Duzhi division, Cai Lu, the secretary of the gold department, and Kuang Ke, the director of the warehouse.

I have to say that the practices of these people made Zhao Hongrun feel extremely unhappy.

Unite to impeach him Zhao Hongrun against Wei Tian?

What is this?

Could it be that the materials must be handed over to the household department by regulations?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so that Zhao Hongrun's eyes gradually became much colder when he looked at the five ministers: "Fan Biao, Yan Zheng, He Yang, Cai Lu, Kuang Ke...... The five adults have figured out how to distribute the supplies? ”

"Is this a roll call?"

The ministers in the palace were in their hearts.

Thinking about it, even if Zhao Hongrun is angry, he will not seriously attack the officials of the entire household department, because in this way, the operation of the entire household department will be paralyzed and cause incalculable national losses.

Therefore, the smartest way is to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, select a few typical examples, and ruthlessly rectify them to deter the rest of the officials in the household department.

"Lord He Yang, you are the Silang of the Du Branch, if the money and goods are handed over to the household department, it should be in your hands first, since this is the case, this king will ask you first...... What do you think is the best way to distribute it? ”

He Yang, the division of the Duzhi Division, probably didn't expect Zhao Hongrun to name him first, his expression stiffened, and he said hesitantly: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials don't know. ”

"I don't know?" Zhao Hongrun snorted lightly and said lightly: "I don't know, you will unite to impeach this king to your father?" …… What's the matter, can you see that this king is young and easy to deceive? ”

"This ......" He Yang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness King Su has misunderstood, Xia Guan and the others are just ...... Just ......"

At this time, the palace maids had already served tea, seeing this, Zhao Hongrun took the tea, took a sip, and asked lightly: "Just what?" ”

may have seen that He Yang was intimidated by Zhao Hongrun's status and vomited, so Fan Biao, the left waiter, hurriedly said for him: "His Royal Highness King Su, in fact, ......"

However, as soon as Fan Biao spoke, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun.

"Fan Shilang, Lord He asked by this king!" Glancing at Fan Biao, who was ugly, Zhao Hongrun interrupted unceremoniously: "Later, there is an opportunity for Lord Fan to speak, but for now, please shut up Lord Fan...... Can it be done? ”

『……』

The ministers in the palace looked at each other, thinking that they didn't expect Zhao Hongrun's attitude to be so unkind, and Fan Biao, who was the party concerned, turned even red.

You must know that he is the left servant of the central court, except for Shangshu Li Liang in the household department, he has the highest official position, even if he looks at the court, he is also a first-class important minister, but the Royal Highness of King Su in front of him bluntly told him to shut up, which is simply incredible!

Seeing that Fan Biao's face turned red and he didn't say a word, the expression on Zhao Hongrun's face became a little gloomy, and he said coldly: "If Lord Fan is dissatisfied with negotiating with this king, then it doesn't matter, this king sent someone to inform the three generals Bailiba, Sima An, and Xu Yin, and let these three generals come to negotiate with you, how about it?!" ”

Hearing Zhao Hongrun's words, even Li Liang and Cui Can's faces changed slightly, not to mention the household officials of Fan Biao's group.

Let the three generals, Bailiba, Sima An, and Xu Yin, come and talk to their households?

Is that still there?

You must know that one is not good, and it is not impossible for the three generals to demolish their household compound in a fit of anger.

Moreover, if the three generals saw that none of them were pleasing to the eye during the negotiations, and privately sent a few of their soldiers to infiltrate the beams, looking for an opportunity to intercept them on the way back to their homes and beat them violently, who would they complain about?

You must know that in previous years, due to the problem of military spending, the officials of the household department were not threatened by the military people, and even secretly taught a lesson.

This is one of the reasons why household officials have always felt that the military people are quite unreasonable.

"Say, do you want to talk to this king, or do you want to talk to those three generals?" Looking at Fan Biao, Zhao Hongrun unceremoniously asked in an almost questioning tone.

Fan Biao was slightly afraid when he heard this, you must know that if he was intercepted by the military soldiers on the way back to his house in the evening, dragged to a deserted alley and beaten violently, not only would not even the criminal department be willing to ask, but even the prince of the East Palace would not be willing to stand up for him.

After all, the "Sixth Battalion of the Garrison" has its own qualifications to be arrogant and unreasonable.

"Also...... It's better to talk to His Royal Highness King Su. ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was about to shout, Fan Biao's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly obeyed.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun said lightly: "Since this is the case, please trouble Lord Fan to shut up for the time being, and when this king asks the adult, the adult will speak again...... Can it be done?! ”

Fan Biao glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and nodded silently: "Xiaguan...... Yes, sir. ”

『……』

Many of the court-level adults in the hall could see it clearly, and their expressions were different.

Li Man, the secretary of the military department, and Xu Guan, the left attendant, naturally sneered again and again, with a look of schadenfreude.

You must know that at this time last year, they had already suffered the losses of His Royal Highness King Su, and knew that this Highness was powerful, and now they saw that someone had followed in their footsteps, so they were happy to watch the good show.

However, those officials in the household department were a little uneasy when they saw this, because they began to realize that Fan Biao, the left attendant who took the lead this time, had no status at all in front of His Royal Highness King Su.

"His Royal Highness King Su has a good swing with this stick!"

The Ministry of Rites, who was purely watching the show, saw that those household officials showed uneasiness one by one after seeing Fan Biao being unceremoniously scolded by Zhao Hongrun, and secretly laughed in his heart.

And Li Liang, the head of the household, and Cui Can, the right attendant, obviously also saw this sign.

『…… In order to curry favor with the East Palace, Fan Biao stretched out his hand into the pocket of His Royal Highness King Su, not only will his claws be chopped off, but I am afraid that my household will also suffer because of this......

After glancing at each other, Li Liang and Cui Can sighed secretly. (To be continued.) )
