Cheng Qianli was summoned to see the conservatory hall, and he had to walk back to the political hall from that side. Important ministers like Cheng Qianli are also relatives of the royal family, and they enjoy the honor of riding horses in the palace, but they are more conscious when they enter the inner court, usually walking. The place where he went under the guidance of the eunuch was a study room used for reviewing the chapters in the greenhouse hall, and when he saw the emperor, he still bowed his head and bowed, and Cheng Qianli was the generation of Xue Chongxun's little wife, but the gift of officials and ministers in the court was the largest.

"Come on, bring a stool for Cheng Xianggong." Xue Chongxun said in a very casual tone.

I saw that Xue Chongxun had changed into cotton clothes, and there was a palace maid next to him who was fanning him with a fan. In this situation, Cheng Qianli even had the illusion that he was still meeting in the palace of the King of Jin, and there were not so many rules in the court.

A eunuch quickly moved a waist round stool, Cheng Qianli said "Thank you", and sat down and waited to be questioned, while thinking in his heart what the emperor would say when summoned.

"Zhang said that he didn't say anything today, but I can see that he wants to recommend you to Hebei Province to preside over military affairs." Xue Chongxun's speed of speech at this time was on the fast side, and he was also straight to the point, without much of the posture of the Son of Heaven, but he seemed more capable and refreshing, "Why did Cheng Xianggong resign in public?" ”

Cheng Qianli owed a debt, and replied in a straight voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Xianggong did say about the recommendation to the minister in private, and the minister also had the idea of going to Hebei to serve the country and make meritorious contributions, but after the concubine met with him yesterday, the minister temporarily changed his mind under an epiphany. ”

Xue Chongxun said: "I know that Mrs. Cheng has seen you, what did you say?" ”

Cheng Qianli said: "She said that Her Majesty let the Cheng family shine on the lintel to revitalize the family, which is already the extreme, and the ministers should take state affairs as the most important and not have selfish thoughts, let alone follow the crowd to do things that are not beneficial to the public." ”

Xue Chongxun heard the shadow of Cheng Ting's little woman in his mind, and he really didn't know what such a woman looked like when she said the truth with a straight face, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "She really said that to you?" ”

"That's what it means." Cheng Qianli's expression remained very natural, even if Xue Chongxun was looking at him. He added: "Concubine Shu's words are like an initiation, which makes the minister suddenly wake up, look back and think about himself, and feel even more embarrassed. The strategy of attacking Yingzhou, the minister is not sure at all, why do you still fight, what is the benefit of the country? If His Majesty is really entrusted with a heavy task, the minister should do his best, but if the minister is not the most appropriate candidate, and he does not want to fight for no profit, it is better to make good arrangements in terms of soldiers, grain and grass, so that the minister in front has no worries. ”

Xue Chongxun's words really made Xue Chongxun very comfortable to listen to...... But of course he won't take it all seriously, and he feels that Cheng Qianli is an old and spicy person among several people in the political hall. He understands who is more important and long-lasting to him between his colleagues in the political hall and the harem, and it is his goal to give priority to ensuring the status of the harem, and his vision can be described as bright and long-term.

However, Xue Chongxun felt that Cheng Ting's city government was not so deep, and it was far worse than her uncle. Cheng Qianli regained his strength from the remote Western Regions under the background of the Cheng family's previous treason, and he has been in the phase for several emperors, and he has not moved for several years, so he naturally has some real skills.

Xue Chongxun also broke it and said indifferently: "Cheng Xianggong is so loyal, I am very relieved. You serve the country with peace of mind, and I remember your merits in my heart. He waved his hand.

Cheng Qianli got up and said goodbye: "The minister respectfully obeys the holy decree." ”

After he left, Xue Chongxun sat silently for a while, and then glanced at his sister who was familiar with the chapter next to the first incense case, and the eunuch Yu Liben who was standing aside. Both of them were people who often walked around Princess Taiping, and he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him all the time...... Princess Taiping did not interfere much in her own governance, but she was the kind of domineering character who wanted to know everything well, and Xue Chongxun did not want to resist.

"Cheng Qianli or Du Xian, who can do the errand well?" Xue Chongxun asked Yu Liben quietly. Yu Liben hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare to talk about it. Xue Chongxun said again: "It's not in the court, you just say a few words casually, I won't blame you." ”

Yu Liben said: "According to the slave maid herself, the strategy proposed by Master Du in the book is self-assured, and he has already thought about what to do; Cheng Xianggong has repeatedly said that Yingzhou is difficult to get, and he has no score in his heart. ”

"Hehe......" Xue Chongxun pointed at Yu Liben and laughed, Yu Liben didn't understand what it meant for a while.

Yu Li was originally an old eunuch in Daming Palace, his hair was gray, but there were no wrinkles on his face, his facial features were still delicate, and he looked like a half-old man who was not old, not difficult to be a woman, if it weren't for Xue Chongxun who was used to seeing it, he would definitely feel very "demonic".

"Brother, is the chapter here written 'quasi-playing' first and then stamped with the jade seal?" The princess of the river asked. Xue Chongxun said patiently: "I have probably read all the chapters on the incense case, and I have approved them all. But you can also take a second look, and if there is anything missing, please tell me. ”

After a while, he said to Yu Liben again: "You go and send someone to ask Yu Wenxiao to come and see me." ”

Yu Li was supposed to go out to run errands, but Xue Chongxun immediately stood up from the soft collapse and walked out the back door, followed by several close attendants around him. When he walked to the corridor, he suddenly turned to Sanniang and said, "Come here, I have something to say to you." Then he glanced at the other palace maids and eunuchs, who also stood there in amusement and did not follow.

"What does Lang Jun command?" Sanniang asked coldly. Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "I don't know which palace those people are transferred from, I don't want to talk to him alone when Yuwenxiao comes for a while, so I just leave them alone." Sanniang was silent after hearing this.

Xue Chongxun and Sanniang walked around in the courtyard, and waited for a long time before they heard someone report that Yuwenxiao had come to see them, so they sent a decree to let Yuwenxiao come to the courtyard to talk.

Coming out of the back door of the study, this place can barely be regarded as a place for Xue Chongxun's living and living, and there is a bath and bathhouse in the courtyard, and Yu Wenxiao looked a little restrained when he came in. He was about to kneel down, Xue Chongxun stretched out his hand and held it: "Excuse me, how is Yuwen Gong lately?" ”

Yu Wenxiao's old farmer with a ravines showed an ugly smile on his face: "The inner factory yamen in the corner of Zichen Hall has nothing to do on weekdays, and the old minister occasionally doesn't come and no one cares, and he often grows vegetables at home. ”

Hearing the words "planting vegetables", Xue Chongxun's mind reflexively appeared full of vegetables in the yard, and he laughed unconsciously: "There is no movement over there in the garden?" ”

Yuwen Xiao smiled: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the bright and dark ministers inside have already set up good people, and those Li family princes are doing everything at every moment for twelve hours a day. The truth is that the Li family's anger is exhausted, and those people are having fun every day, not to mention doing some serious things, and even books are rarely read. The abolished emperor (Li Chengning) even slept with his mother, which was extremely absurd, and the old minister handed over the secret music the month before last to say that the matter was ......"

When Xue Chongxun heard this kind of unsightly thing, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and hurriedly interrupted Yu Wenxiao: "There is no need to mention this matter, let them do it." If I really want to cure him, I can find a way to do it, and that's it. I'm coming to you today for another reason. ”

Yuwen Xiao hurriedly said: "Please ask Your Majesty to order, the old minister is in a panic." ”

Yu Wenxiao is not a person with a formal career in the end, and it is true that he is not as decent and well-behaved as those ministers who are upright when he says something, but Xue Chongxun doesn't care. He thought for a while and said: "It's still your business to manage the internal factory, and you can't just be limited to small places such as Yuanfang, you have to expand the scale and plan the system, so as to find out the movements of the local officials who are in charge of the military and political power in various states and provinces...... Including the ministers of the DPRK and China. All the officials who stayed in the country of the prince of the original Jin Dynasty were incorporated into the inner factory, and you selected a few loyal and talented people to come to the yamen on this side of the Zichen Palace to assist you in the layout. I will ask Zhang Xiao, the eunuch of Penglai Palace, to go to the inner factory, and let him go directly to the inner palace to play to me. ”

"The fifteen provinces in the world have to send people? What a big net this has to be cast, it takes a lot of money......" Yuwen Ji was surprised.

"You don't have to worry about the funds, and you don't need to pay to the Zuoku (Nanya National Treasury), and you can directly withdraw the royal funds from the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you must take care of the accounts and account to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can let the officials who used to be in charge of the finances of the pro-kingdom be under you. Xue Chongxun paused and lowered his voice, "It will take time for you to find a way to come up with a set of systems, so first move some people to spy on Du Xian." ”

Yu Wenxiao was a little surprised when he heard Du Xian's name, and was about to speak, but Xue Chongxun immediately said: "Don't act rashly, just put a few pairs of eyes, understand?" ”

"Yes." Yu Wenxiao didn't ask much in the end, although he didn't mix much in the officialdom, but he was a person who had experienced the rivers and lakes, and he knew that there were some things that should not be asked, so don't ask.

Xue Chongxun suddenly sighed, looked up at the eaves and thought for a while, then turned to Yuwen Xiao, who was bent over and standing behind him, and said: "Do this matter well, when Zhang Xiao is on duty, you can let him report the progress to me at any time, he is a eunuch who can enter and exit Penglai Palace." ”

Yuwen Xiao hurriedly said: "The minister will definitely do his best." ”

Xue Chongxun paced alone for a while, sorting out the matter again in his mind. Yu Wenxiao is more expert in the organization of gangs and factions on the rivers and lakes, and he has seen more or less the formal official system in the government, and with the assistance of his staff, he should be able to come up with a system, whether it can be strictly perfected is not sure, but Xue Chongxun thinks that he can at least get a framework to come out. It is not very difficult to ask for people and money to support the emperor's grain.

No one else should know about Yu Wenxiao now, but it won't be long before he meets the light. Because of the large number of people involved in such a large-scale affair, it is impossible to be airtight, and he still has to receive money from the Internal Affairs Bureau, the first person to know about this matter should be the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the Princess Taiping, Nan Ya may not know for the time being.
