Chapter 210: Zhu Houxi's Treatment
"Huang Ban, you've been in the internal official prison for a long time, and your writing skills haven't fallen behind, right?" , Zhu Houxi suddenly turned his gaze to Huang Jin on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty still remembers that slaves and maids often practice in private...", Huang Jin replied with a smile.
"That's good...", Zhu Houxi smiled, "Later, I will make a comeback for me, summon Xia Yan to return to the court, and succeed him as the first assistant of the cabinet." ”
"Yes...", Huang Jin replied in a low voice, but there was no change in expression.
Peng Yue was in ecstasy, but he didn't dare to show it, of course, there were more exciting things for a while, because Zhu Houxi was about to announce the handling of Yan Song.
But the strange thing is that when Zhu Houxi finished announcing the reward for Xia Yan, he stopped talking about the punishment of Yan Song, and after a while, Peng Yue couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "Your Majesty, you summoned Xia Shoufu back, what about Yan Ge Lao?" ”
"Yan Song?" , Zhu Houxi raised his eyelids and glanced at Peng Yue, "I haven't thought about it yet..."
Didn't think about it? Didn't think about it! In Peng Yue's heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in an instant...
"Now that Xia Yan is back, Yan Song is naturally going to give up his seat...", Zhu Houxi sighed, "Just let him stay in the cabinet and give Xia Yan a hand..."
This is the punishment? That's how it is handled? Peng Yue thought of Zhai Luan, remembered Zhang Bi, remembered Xu Zan...
"Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty thinks twice... Yan Ge Lao privately withheld military salaries, and those who donated officials...", Peng Yue was in a hurry, and even his words seemed a little incoherent.
"Oh... By the way, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot...", Zhu Houxi had an indifferent expression, "Yan Song's crime." It really can't go unpunished... In this way, isn't he greedy for less than 10,000 taels of military silver? Let him pay three times the military salary of Datong. There is also money for donating officials, but he is quite dark. I am also bold, when will I allow those officials to be donated? It's not that high, hehe... The person in charge of the donation crossed him out of the list of officials, and the general sentence of the donation was aggravated, and the assessment was increased, as for Yan Song... No matter how much he sells, let him donate 30,000 taels of silver to the treasury..."
It seems that Zhu Houyu seemed to be a businessman in his previous life, and he was born with the shrewd mind of a businessman. The first thing that came to mind was how to replenish the treasury money...
When Peng Yue heard Zhu Houxi's words, he was naturally dumbfounded, crying and laughing, "Your Majesty, is that all?" ”
"Hmm... That's all for now...", Zhu Houxi yawned again as he spoke, "Zirui, you go back first, I'm a little tired today..."
"Your Majesty...". Peng Yue looked speechless.
"Let's go back first...", Zhu Houxi waved his hand at Peng Yue, "I'm really tired..."
Seeing this, Huang Jin hurriedly stopped in front of Peng Yue. made a gesture of please, and took him out.
Zhu Houxi looked at Peng Yue's departing back and couldn't help but sneer. In fact, he has a plan in his heart, and he knows better than anyone else.
In fact, he had already had the idea of letting Yan Song go to the throne in his heart. It's just that this is just an impulse, and today's complaint by Peng Yue. made Zhu Houxi firm in this idea.
But what Peng Yue did today, Zhu Houyu had to be afraid of his ambition, no matter how big this possibility is, Zhu Houyu always has to guard against this potential horror, he can't let Peng Yue enter the cabinet to take power, just because he is young, he has a longer way of development...
Originally, Zhu Houxi was angry just now, and he also wanted to directly depose Yan Song and let him go back to his hometown, but he always felt that Yan Song still had his value, and he wanted Yan Song to stay in the court and form a confrontational force with Xia Yan.
What the emperor likes is balance, and Zhu Houxi is not an exception, if Yan Song is gone, Xia Yan and Peng Yue will not be overturned in the court? Someone had to find a way to contain them. Moreover, Xia Yan and Yan Song are in the court, and they can also contain Peng Yue, after all, Yan Song is still Peng Yue's father-in-law in name, and Peng Yue can't do anything too out of the ordinary.
Besides, Zhu Houyu really felt a little close to Yan Song in his heart, because he felt that there were too few courtiers who could understand his thoughts like this, and Zhu Houxi was really reluctant to drive him away from the court.
At this moment, Zhu Houxi felt that he was so smart, they were all pawns under his hands, and they could only be used for themselves.
"Huang Gonggong..." Peng Yue followed behind Huang Jin, step by step out of the palace gate, until he walked a long distance, Peng Yue stopped and stopped Huang Jin.
"Master Peng...", Huang Jin also looked a little embarrassed, "A little disappointed, isn't it?" ”
"Uh... It's not just some...", Peng Yue still had a crying and laughing expression.
"If you want our family to say, since Master Peng and Yan Ge Lao are also in-laws, why should they make such an unpleasant fuss, but they hide our family very bitterly...", Huang Jin said with a smile.
"I'm really sorry...", Peng Yue naturally heard the ridicule in Huang Jin's words, and hurriedly bowed to him, "Father-in-law Huang, the stakes are very high, and I'm not sure, forgive me for not making it clear in advance..."
It turned out that Peng Yue had asked Huang Jin to pass the anger in advance, but he couldn't tell him clearly at the time, he just said that he was doing a small favor, the two already had a friendship, and Peng Yue gave him a generous gift, so Huang Jin couldn't shirk it.
"Lord Peng is polite...", Huang Jin smiled, "Our family also understands Lord Peng..."
"Grandpa Huang, when you say that, I feel even more embarrassed..."
"Where is Lord Peng's words... But to be honest, you also know the emperor's temper, if it weren't for Lord Peng, our family wouldn't dare to say more in front of the emperor..."
"This is natural, so I am really grateful and guilty to my father-in-law now..."
"Oh, Master Peng is outside... In fact, our family thought about it at the time, and always felt that the words explained by Master Peng were a little insignificant, but now we have realized the benefits..."
"At that time, I was afraid that my father-in-law would be affected, so I didn't dare to let my father-in-law say something else...", Peng Yue said frankly.
"Master Peng still cares about our family in his heart, and our family is also happy, and saying these few words is nothing...", Huang Jin smiled, but he didn't tell a lie, because he always felt that Peng Yue was still very honest and friendly.
And he naturally has his own strategy, where his own relationship with Zhu Houyu is placed, even if he makes a mistake, Zhu Houyu can't really punish himself. Besides, Huang Jin has always been smiling in front of Zhu Houxi, no matter what happens, Zhu Houxi doesn't ask, he doesn't say it, even if he answers, it is only a shallow sentence, and he will definitely not exceed the rules, so he is rarely criticized by Zhu Houxi.
It's all mixed up in the court, who doesn't have a strategy for self-preservation? Peng Yue also understands this, and he also knows that Huang Jin has his own methods, but he is now full of questions, waiting for Huang Jin to answer... (To be continued.) )
