In a mansion in the eastern city of Jingshi, Li Gao had a gloomy face, and there was an old man sitting next to him, with a solemn face, a thin figure, and a wide crimson official robe covering his body, which seemed a little out of place, but just sitting like this, there was a momentum on his body that made people palpitate, so that the maids on the side almost knocked over the teacups.

However, Li Gao was obviously not afraid of this old man, and after sitting down, he didn't have time to greet him, so he said with a gloomy face.

"What do you mean? Why didn't you tell the old man before, His Royal Highness King Shou would intervene in this matter! It's good now, the old man was scolded in vain, and no one stopped him, you say, what should I do now? ”

But the old man was unhurried, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Wu Qingbo doesn't have to worry, if you don't stop it, you won't stop it! What if it is found out? With the Queen Mother here, who can help you out? ”

Li Gao's face was a little pale, but he still couldn't help but snort coldly, it was obvious that the other party was angry, and he was still indignant!

The old man smiled and said.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, those businessmen are doing business in the capital, paying homage to a dock, and honoring Wu Qingbo, but this brocade guard is making a big fuss, and he has to arrest them, it's just that he has taken a fancy to their family property, Wu Qingbo and rest assured, the old man will deal with the rest of the things! Oh, by the way, this is a thank you gift from the Fan family, and it doesn't let Wu Qing Bobai go on a trip! ”

After saying that, he made a look, and an old man in the housekeeper's uniform at the bottom suddenly understood, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and put them on the table in front of Li Gao.

The latter picked it up and took a look, and immediately smiled, picked up the silver ticket, and said.

"Speaking of which, the silver ticket of this Hang Lung Money Bank is very convenient, but the old man also wants to remind Lord Li that His Royal Highness King Shou is not easy to mess with, this official, who is not greedy? Even if he had the account book in his hand, he wouldn't be able to arrest you all, would he? In the final analysis, he is the emperor's favorite prince, and if he offends him, it will be difficult to mix up in the future! Leave! ”

After that, Li Gao turned around and walked out of the gate, leaving the old man stunned for a long time before he sighed and muttered.

"Reconciliation? Why doesn't the old man want to ......?"

It was only for a moment, and the confusion in the old man's eyes dissipated, replaced by an awe-inspiring momentum, turned around, and commanded the butler lightly.

"Go and invite Lord Yu Shiwen, the left deputy capital, and say that the old man has something to find him!"

At the same time, in the palace of King Shou.

Zhu Changluo sat upright, beside him were Luo Sigong and Liang Yong, and below him were two men with dark faces who looked loyal and honest, but at this moment, these two men were shining with essence in their eyes, and they said something respectfully.

After a while, Zhu Changluo waved his hand, motioned for them to stand back, and turned his head to Luo Sigong and asked.

"Dongcheng Huanghuafang? I don't remember any prominent officials there? Could it be an outhouse? ”

Yes, these two people are Zhu Changluo sent to follow Li Gao in the past, for Li Gao, Zhu Changluo knows, he can't afford to be early, and he is even more bold, and he dares to take any money!

He rashly intervened in this matter, either because of what role he played in it, or because someone promised him heavy benefits, of course, Zhu Changluo felt that it was both, after all, Li Gao's anxiety at that time could not be faked, not to mention that black eating black was his consistent practice of Wu Qingbo.

However, if he is the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhu Changluo thinks it is unlikely.

Not to mention whether Li Gao can support those civil servants, just his straw bag character who has caused countless disasters is not a material for playing politics!

Therefore, Zhu Changluo concluded that there must be someone behind Li Gao's instructions, and this person is very likely to be the person who secretly instigated the courtiers to detain Que......

And Zhu Changluo was in front of Honglu Temple, extremely strong to take people away, Li Gao panicked, he would definitely go back to find that person, and he could follow the vine to find out the identity of that person!

However, what made him strange was that most of the dignitaries in Beijing lived in Chongjiaofang, but the two of them said that they followed Li Gao to Huanghuafang in Dongcheng, where few ministers lived, and more businessmen in Beijing, could it be that he guessed wrong?

Unexpectedly, he just asked, but Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and said.

"Your Highness, it's not an outer house! In that Huanghuafang, there is indeed a mansion that belongs to a court official! ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

Zhu Changluo suddenly became interested, you know, that Huanghuafang is a place where businessmen gather, ordinary courtiers and doctors, few are willing to mess with these businessmen, but at this moment, listening to Luo Sigong's tone, this person who lives in Huanghuafang is still a court official?

"Li Sancai!"

Luo Sigong's face was solemn and he said softly.

Even he didn't expect that in the end, such a big man would be involved.

As soon as these words came out, even Liang Yong on the side gasped and asked in a lost voice.

"Lord Li of the Governor Caoyun and Governor of Fengyang?"

Zhu Changluo's face was also solemn, and his heart sank.

This Li Sancai is not a small person, his full official name is the head of the household department and the governor of the left deputy capital, Cao Yun and the governor of Fengyang!

You know, since Emperor Chengzu created the title system in order to improve the status of the cabinet, this method has become a norm in the Ming Dynasty, but not everyone can add the title casually, generally speaking, this kind of title usually appears on two kinds of people.

One is the cabinet minister, although the cabinet has the right to slaughter the auxiliary, but there is no name of the minister, everyone sharpened their heads and wanted to be a cabinet scholar, in fact, it is just the official title of the fifth grade, so Emperor Chengzu in order to improve the right to speak of the ministers, so that they concurrently serve as the six books of the second grade, but it is empty of its name and no real power, simply put, it is to enjoy the treatment of the second grade, but can not meddle in the ministry affairs, and the title is only for the purpose of raising the rank.

Today, this has almost become a common practice, and the cabinet ministers who enter the cabinet must have a higher title, take Wang Xijue as an example, his official name is the official department of Shangshu Zhongji Temple University Scholar, that is, commonly known as the first assistant, and now the second assistant Chen Yuma, the full official name is the Hubu Shangshu Jianji Temple University Scholar!

Their official department and household department are the titles!

And in another case, it is like Li Sancai, a feudal official who guards one side!

In the official system of the Ming Dynasty, there was no such official position as governor and governor, because its power and responsibility were too large, which was not conducive to the centralization of power, and it was held in the hands of one person for a long time, which was not conducive to the control of the imperial court.

However, after trying it for a period of time, it was found that these two were indispensable official positions, but Taizu's custom could not be changed, so later generations came up with a workaround.

Li Sancai's official position in the household department Shangshu and the left deputy capital Yushi is the official name, in layman's terms, it is his establishment, and the governor Caoyun and governor Fengyang is sent, that is, he is responsible for the matter.

In this way, the imperial court can use this to control the power in his hands, and to transfer to official positions, it is necessary to go through a set of complicated procedures for the official department, but to change the dispatch, it is a matter of the imperial court, which not only ensures local stability, but also maintains the authority of the imperial court to the greatest extent.

But what frightened Zhu Changluo was not this, but the title of the head of Li Sancai, although he knew that this head of the household department was a fictitious title, and it was added in order to make Li Sancai manage the affairs of Caoyun justifiably.

But what he knows better is that Governor Caoyun will generally only add the title of Household Servant, not Household Shangshu, and Governor Caoyun and Governor Fengyang, the power of these two will be in one person, even if he is not an official in Beijing, his status is comparable to that of the six Shangshu-like bosses.

And once such a person is transferred to Beijing, he must be one of the six Shangshu, and because he himself is a Hubu Shangshu, it is very likely that he will directly skip the four lower-ranked Shangshu of the Rite and Punishment Military Industry, and directly jump to the second of the six and become a genuine Hubu Shangshu!

I really didn't expect that in the end, I actually found him, and for a while, Zhu Changluo also felt extremely tricky......

This Li Sancai is not very active!
