"Or ...... Let's keep it simple? Tao Xingyan said.

"Difficult!" Chen Yiqin shook his head and said: "Whether it is the scripture or the crown prince's canonization, it involves more than a dozen yamen. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Luo Xin, and saw that Luo Xin was looking at him expectantly, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"If we streamline the procedures, we will inevitably offend these dozen yamen."

Luo Xin also knew that the dozen or so yamen had long been waiting for the canonization of the scriptures and the crown prince. More than two million taels of silver, this is a lot of oil and water. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents. If the Ministry of Rites really did this, it would really offend more than a dozen yamen. As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he Luo Xin naturally made these dozen yamen hate.

"So what?" Tao Xingyan spread his hands and said: "Save money, you will be hated by more than a dozen colleagues in the yamen, and our Ministry of Rites will really be alone in the future." If you don't save money, you will be impeached by the imperial envoy, then we will become a stepping stone to the achievement of the imperial envoy. ”

There was silence in the room. Luo Xin's gaze swept over everyone, with a look of anticipation. It's not that he has no way, he and Tao Xingyan, Zhang Xun and others have discussed a way, but he still wants to see if these officials of the Ministry of Rites have people who can come up with a way, or if there are people who can come up with a way and are willing to say it.

That's a vote!

Luo Xin became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he needed some talented, capable, and willing to die for himself. Such a person, Luo Xin will reuse. People who are talented, capable, and unwilling to defect to themselves can only be used and even suppressed. People who are not talented, incapable, and willing to defect can only let them do ordinary things, and cannot introduce the core. Those who are incapable, talented, pretentious, or have other intentions and refuse to defect will sooner or later be driven out of the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, Luo Xin hopes that some, even if it is just one or two talented and capable people, who are willing to vote for themselves.

Chen Yiqin lowered his head, the expression on his face kept changing, to be honest, he had not made up his mind to defect to Luo Xin now. The reason why he was respectful in front of Luo Xin was that he just wanted to get along with Luo Xin, but this did not mean that he wanted to become Luo Xin's subordinate.

This subordinate does not refer to an official position, if you talk about an official position, he is now Luo Xin's subordinate. Rather, it refers to the complete defection to the banner of Luo Xin. In this way, his official position surpassed Luo Xin's in the future, and he was also Luo Xin's subordinate.

The Fuxing Society can only have one voice, and there is only one dragon head, and this is Luo Xin.

Chen Yiqin was a little unwilling, thinking that he and Luo Xin were both Yuwang's teachers at the beginning, and when Luo Xin first became Yuwang's teacher, his official position was not as high as Chen Yiqin's, and his closeness to Yuwang was not as good as Chen Yiqin. Although this is not the same as it used to be. However, Chen Yiqin also fantasized that he would one day be able to enter the cabinet and become a man of the year who dominated the Ming Dynasty, instead of wanting to bow down and be small in front of Luo Xin.

However, now that my heart is turning, I can't help but sigh.

Can you really fight your way out of this cannibalistic officialdom?

Thinking that he was easily put into prison by Xu Jie, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The decision was finally made. Then he looked up and said:

"My lord, the lower official has an idea."

"Huh?" Luo Xin moved: "Brother Chen, you and I have formed a friendship since His Majesty was still King Yu, if you have any ideas, hurry up." ”

When Chen Yiqin saw Luo Xin mention the Yuwang period, he said with a hot heart in his heart:

"We, the Ministry of Rites, only propose the ceremonial procedures and budget, and the decision is not made by our Ministry of Rites, but by the Cabinet. Why don't we make upper, middle and lower three. ”

"How three?"

"It is how much silver is needed for the best ceremonial procedure, and then if it costs sixty percent of silver, what kind of procedure is needed, and what kind of procedure is needed to cost thirty percent of silver."

Speaking of this, Chen Yiqin glanced at Luo Xin and said: "We submit it, how to decide, let the cabinet have a headache." ”

"Wonderful!" Luo Xin stroked his palm and said: "Anyway, our Ministry of Rites is not responsible for decision-making. Brother Chen is talented. ”

Chen Yiqin's face also showed a hint of pride: "Occasional gains." ”

Qin Shuang nodded appreciatively and said, "To make three plans, you are tired." However, although he was affected, he got rid of the troubles and did not let the officials target him. ”

"Hehehe......" everyone laughed.

"Hurry up! Time is tight and the task is heavy, so let's work overtime. Luo Xin said with a smile.

Master Shangshu has spoken, what can a subordinate say? One by one, they all left Luo Xin's duty room and went back to work overtime. When it was time to put on the lights, Luo Xin was still sitting in the duty room, and those officials naturally did not dare to leave.

Besides......

Luo Xin has said, let everyone work overtime, who dares to leave?

Not only did he not dare to leave, but he also had to work non-stop.

Luo Xin didn't stay long, and after half an hour passed from the family on duty, he came out of his duty room. It's not that he has to hurry up to get the plan out, but he knows that the Ministry of Rites is used to being casual, and in this way, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are nervous, don't be like a plate of loose sand. However, things cannot be done, otherwise they will be detached. came to the room where the plan was being made, and said to the officials with an apologetic face:

"Everyone has worked hard, let's disperse, hurry back and have a good rest. Work is work, rest is rest. When you work, you work well, and when you rest, you have a good rest. Blame me today, and everyone will work hard. ”

All the officials stood up and said, "It's not hard! ”

Luo Xin waved his hand and turned to leave. Behind him, those officials were also relieved and packed up and left.

Next.

Before dawn, Luo Xin left home and went to the morning court. It's November now, and the days are much shorter. So Luo Xin came to the palace, and the genius had just seen a little light. All the ministers have arrived. Those officials were all in high spirits, their faces were full of red light, and they didn't know who they planned to impeach today.

Seeing that, Luo Xin had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

However, before he could wait long, Feng Bao came and informed His Majesty that he was unwell and would not go to court today.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong asked to see Emperor Longqing, and the rest of the officials left one after another and returned to their yamen. Luo Xin shook his head and walked towards the Ministry of Rites. He knew very well in his heart that this was Emperor Longqing's displeasure. Originally, he was not interested in the court, but now he has no money to reward the concubines, so he has lost face, so he naturally does not go to the court.

"Alas...... When I meet such an emperor, I am tired! ”

Luo Xin came to the Ministry of Rites, sat in the lobby, picked up the documents on the case and began to read and give instructions.
