Three days later, Fang Yuan took Hu Qi and three hundred brocade guards to the Taihu military base for a post-war military parade and rewards.

Princess Kunxing, who stayed in Canglang Pavilion, officially took over the affairs of the Governor's Mansion after Fang Yuan left. Taking over the affairs of the government, it is a simple sentence, and when Princess Kunxing took over, she found that it was really difficult.

Fang Yuan and Xiao Yuan previously set up six different functional departments of the Governor's Palace, namely the Internal Affairs Division, the Palm Seal Division, the Security Division, the Carriage and Horse Division, the Yeting Division, and the Finance Division, to manage the affairs of the Governor's Palace.

Among these six departments, the one in charge of the overall situation is the Department of Internal Affairs, whose functions are equivalent to those of the palace and the ceremonial supervisor, and the previous director was Xiao Yuan. Now that Princess Kunxing has taken over the Governor's Palace, Xiao Yuan naturally withdrew from the position of director and handed it over to the princess to take over, or arrange a suitable candidate.

The remaining five divisions are equivalent to the simplified version of the twelve eunuchs of the inner court.

The Security Department is the Jinyi Guard of the Inner Courtyard, responsible for the safety of the Governor's Palace, the people in the house, and Fang Yuan's people, and the director of the Security Department is Hu Qi, the same knowledge of the Jinyi Guard;

The court secretary is responsible for all the miscellaneous duties and miscellaneous affairs of the governor's palace, as well as the provision of three meals a day, and the director is the seventh sister-in-law;

The division of carriages and horses is to manage the drivers who go out to drive, as well as the use of carriages and horses, and the director is Yang Lin, who was also a thin horse in Yangzhou with Xiaoyuan;

The Finance Department is in charge of the revenue, expenditure, and treasury management of the Governor's Palace, and the director is the head of the independent accounting team and the confidant of Xiaoyuan, Qiu Lin;

The Seal Division is independent of the other six divisions, under the direct management of Governor Fang Yuan, whose main responsibility is to be in charge of the Governor's Seal, as well as the most important review body, the Independent Accounting Group, and the director is Xiao Yuan.

Except for Hu Qi, who is also the security department, the rest of the five divisions are all Xiao Yuan's henchmen, and they have a deep rejection of Princess Kunxing. This kind of rejection is by no means a face-to-face argument with Princess Kunxing, but is mainly reflected in the soft confrontation on weekdays:

First, whenever the princess asked, no matter whether it was reported or reported, the words were only half ambiguous, which made the princess scratch her head. But if the princess doesn't ask, she will never say a word.

Second, everything is no longer in charge, but all thrown to the princess to make a decision. Regardless of Xiaoyuan or Seventh Sister-in-law, they didn't make any handover with her, let alone how the previous work was operated, and directly threw all the affairs to her. Princess Kunxing has never been in contact with these government affairs, so she can only rely on her intuition to make decisions.

Third, Princess Kunxing's command was wrong, inappropriate, and would cause unforeseen consequences, and no one reminded her, anyway, the princess would do whatever she wanted, and even deliberately guided her in the opposite direction.

Therefore, intentionally or unintentionally by all parties, what was thrown to Princess Kunxing was a stall that no one cared about. In addition, Princess Kunxing was a carefree princess in the palace before, and she did not have any practical management experience. A few days before the princess took over, the entire government affairs were in a mess, whether it was the processing of official documents, the dispatch of carriages and horses, and the allocation of property and property, it was completely disorderly, and the government affairs were almost paralyzed.

Xiao Yuan saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, she just deliberately wanted to make the princess ugly, and then the seventh sister-in-law and the directors of each department complained to Fang Yuan that the princess was muddy and couldn't support the wall, and Fang Yuan was in the army. And she herself doesn't need to come forward in person, just sit behind the scenes and watch the show.

Fang Yuan's dormitory

The princess was reviewing the official documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which had already been reviewed and written by Xiao Yuan, and also commented on suggestions, and some of them were stamped with the governor's seal and given to the princess to read, that is, in the form of walking.

Mama Liang sorted out the accounts of the previous month sent by the Finance Department for her, and the balances of these account books in the previous period and the details of each account were not provided, but only a bare number was provided, which was approved by the princess.

Mama Liang beckoned Qiu Lin and asked, "Why don't you have account details?" ”

Qiu Lin thought for a while and said, "The princess didn't ask for it, so she didn't send it for checking." If the princess needs it, I will send someone at once. ”

After a while, the finance department sent the details, at least two account books, densely filled with numbers.

Mama Liang turned a few pages and had a headache, so she said, "I will say a penny, and you will give me a penny." ”

Qiu Lin said calmly, "These accounts are checked by Mrs. Yuan personally on weekdays, if the two of them check it, or do it pass it on orally, once the accounts do not match, who is responsible?" At that time, there will definitely be blame for each other, and Princess Lao will work harder. ”

She deliberately didn't cooperate, but she was about to scold, but was stopped by Princess Kunxing, "Okay, Qiulin, you put the account book here, retreat!" ”

After Qiu Lin went, Mama Liang kept complaining, "This little slut is deliberately embarrassing the princess, I will withdraw her to set an example!" ”

Princess Kunxing smiled and said, "Mama Liang, the queen mother manages the harem of 3,000 people, and Mrs. Yuan manages the government affairs of Zhejiang and Fujian. If I can't even manage the 100 people in the Governor's Palace, and I have to withdraw people to demonstrate, that will be the biggest failure. ”

Mama Liang still felt indignant for her and said, "But this is Mrs. Yuan deliberately embarrassing the princess, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" ”

Princess Kunxing said lightly, "It's not been a day or two for Mrs. Yuan to be embarrassed by me, do I still expect her to help me?" If you withdraw without permission, you will fall into the trap of Mrs. Yuan. She will instigate the seventh sister-in-law behind her back, and the directors of various departments will go to make false accusations to the horses. As the wife of the colt, not only can I not share his worries, but I also provoke such a lot of trivial matters for him to judge, what will the colt think of me? Do you think that I can't hold up the wall with mud? ”

Mama Liang complained again, "This person is also a concubine, knowing that the princess is taking over the affairs of the government for the first time, not only did she help her, but she also left the princess alone and went to the Taihu Lake base, what is this called!" ”

Princess Kunxing glanced at her and said unhappily, "Of course, there is an important military matter for the horse to go to the Taihu Lake base!" He was able to withstand the pressure of the seventh sister-in-law and Mrs. Yuan to force me to take over the affairs of the government, and he had done enough for me. As soon as I return home, I will hand over the power of the military and political votes to approve the red! Let me manage the affairs of the Governor's Palace, which is to temper and cultivate me. If he can't hand over an exam paper that satisfies him, what face do he have to fight with Mrs. Yuan? ”

"Mama Liang, although Mrs. Yuan is hateful and damned, I must admit that her vision and ability are indeed stronger than mine now. She can have today, not just by warming the bed of the colt, but by so many years of blood and sweat. The so-called heaven rewards hard work, why can I beat her as soon as I take over the affairs of the government? We should be ashamed to be brave, instead of blindly complaining and passing the buck to others. ”

The princess's maturity and stability made Mama Liang feel deeply ashamed, according to her age and qualifications, she should be to comfort the princess and shelter the princess from the wind and rain, but now she needs the princess to comfort her.

While the two were talking, the maidservant came to report that Wang Chengen's father-in-law of Nanjing City had arrived at Canglang Pavilion, and he came with ten cronies and eunuchs brought from Nanjing City.

Wang Chengen was the one who begged Princess Kunxing to give her Fang Yuan as her right-hand man, she was overjoyed when she heard it, and quickly got up and said, "Mama Liang, my right-hand man is finally here!" ”

"The old slave knocks on the princess!"

Wang Chengen saw Princess Kunxing in the dormitory, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to her, but was stopped by Princess Kunxing, "Princess, now I am no longer in the palace, and I am only the wife of Governor Fang." You and I are relatives, and we don't need to make great courtesies. ”

The princess pulled Wang Chengen to sit down, exchanged a few polite words with him, and then got back to business, "Princess, I just took over the affairs of the Governor's Palace, and I have no clue. The prince was in charge of the inner court and managed tens of thousands of people in the inner court, can you take charge of the internal affairs department of the governor's palace for me? ”

Although Wang Chengen is now nominally the garrison eunuch of Nanjing City, he is in a high position. But it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Nanjing City is just an empty shelf with a big reputation, and Fang Yuan's Zhezhi Governor's Mansion is the core of power in Zhezhi and Fujian. Whoever governs Nanjing City must act according to the eyes of the Governor's Office of Zhejiang, otherwise the decree will not be able to leave the Nanjing Palace. Being the head of the Internal Affairs Department of the Governor's Mansion is far more powerful than the garrison eunuchs in Nanjing City.

And the princess was raised by him, and she had also heard of the battle with Mrs. Fang Yuan's backyard, and now that the princess was isolated in the Governor's Palace, how could he stand by and watch?

Wang Chengen hurriedly threw his hand to the princess again and again, "The old slave is the princess's minister in life, and the princess's ghost in death, and he will do his best." ”

With Wang Chengen's help, Princess Kunxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered Mama Liang to summon all the directors of the Governor's Palace, as well as the male servants and maids, to give a lecture in the main courtyard in the early morning three days later.
