"You are much better than your father-in-law, that guy is not very old, he doesn't eat oil and salt, and he doesn't let me be an old man at all." Hu Hu blew his beard and said.

"Boss, you came to the Inspection Division, didn't you just tell your subordinates about this?" Meng Yan's face was scornful, Hu Hu said that Guo was not angry, as his son-in-law, he couldn't also go along with it, right?

"Of course not, but it has something to do with it." Hu said.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Do you have a small printing workshop to your name?" Hu Hu asked.

"There is such a printing workshop, what's the matter, boss, I know that there are rules in the imperial court that officials are not allowed to do business, but this workshop is not under the name of the lower officials?" Meng Yan called Qu Dao.

"Don't be busy complaining, these old men know that the old man wants to ask you for help and help me print a batch of ballots!"

"Boss, you're not joking, my workshop is too small, and the imperial court doesn't have a treasure banknote division, the technology and scale are much larger than mine, you don't look for them, find me a clay workshop, it's not suitable, it's not suitable!" Meng Yan hurriedly shook his hand and refused.

This is obviously something that doesn't make money, and if you don't get it right, it will cause a lot of trouble, of course Meng Yan doesn't want to get it.

"If the old man can go to the treasure banknote division, can he still come to you?" Hu Hu glared.

"Why is that?"

"Confidentiality, the emperor said, this matter cannot be leaked out, if some people know about it, and secretly connect it in private, then this secret ballot can't be real." Hu said.

"Boss, do you mean that you are afraid that people will find out, and use money to bribe officials and bribe voters?" Meng Yan Road.

"Bribery, this word is a good word, that's what the old man means." Hu Hui's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and said.

"You can't come to the next official, right? The Ministry of Rites, the Department of Teaching, and the secret spy, find someone who can do it, and carve a board casually, it's very simple. Meng Yan said.

"You know a lot. But the old man didn't want to find his subordinates to do this this time, and the old man couldn't trust them. ”

"You can't trust your men?"

"Yes, I'm about to retreat, and they don't know that it's their order, so it's more appropriate to find you, and this method was also proposed by your father-in-law."

"Boss, aren't you embarrassing me?"

"Don't you want to do it?"

"I really don't want to do it!" Meng Yan said very seriously.

"Meng boy. Come here with your ears! Hu Hu smiled, and suddenly waved at Meng Yan.

"Mr. Hu, your smile is a little unreassuring, I'm still not there, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"What is not very reassuring, the old man is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is a product of the dynasty. Receiving the double salary, what else can the old man do to you? The old man is in his prime, and he is really angry with the old man! Hu's beard trembled, and his hands trembled.

Meng Yan was stunned for a while, he didn't expect a joke that this Hu Hui's reaction would be so big, couldn't it be that he was stimulated when he was young?

"Sir. You dissipate your anger, I didn't mean that, come on, hurry, make tea for the boss. ”

"It's coming. Boss, take a sip of tea first! Meng Yan took the tea cup from Guo Xiaochao's hand and put it in Hu Hui's hand and said.

"Humph!" Hu Hu took it and glanced up at Guo Xiaochao.

"Why does your old man seem to have seen it before, and his face is familiar?" Hu Hu took a sip of hot tea.

"No, this is the first time you have come to my yamen, how can you see the people I accepted?" Meng Yan waved his hand, "Go to work, don't pestle here, I still have something to say to the boss." ”

Of course, Meng Yan knew that Guo Xiaochao was on an errand in Guo Mansion, and it was normal for Hu Hu to have been to Guo Mansion and had seen Guo Xiaochao.

It's just that these two people are not on the same level, and it is estimated that they will just say a sentence in person, and they will not talk deeply.

This Hu Hu was born with white hair, and then all turned black, with an extraordinary memory and the ability to never forget.

"Little slippery!" Hu Hu scolded secretly, he recognized this young man, obviously he was the young housekeeper of Guo Mansion, but he didn't expect that this Guo Laohu was really willing to cultivate his son-in-law, and sent such a person to him.

"Come here with your ears!"

"Yes, yes, sir, you say, I'll listen." Meng Yan had no choice but to lean his ear over.

"Your father-in-law's idea is to make a fuss about this vote to ensure that Chen Dezun can't stop the head of the cabinet, so you have to do it." Hu said.

"Aren't you cheating on me?" When Meng Yan heard this, his back bones suddenly felt cold.

"It's not me who cheated you, it's your father-in-law, he came up with the idea, so, your help, old man, I am the mastermind!" Hu Hu didn't have a good airway.

"It doesn't matter to you, if something happens, at most the official won't do it, anyway, you're old enough, if you don't do it, you won't do it, but I can't do it, it's just a big official, I can't do it, I can't do it." Meng Yan shook his head and said.

"Really?" Hu Hu didn't expect that Meng Yan didn't give him face at all, so he refused directly.

"Don't do it, you can find someone else, you have a lot of talents, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone to help, right?"

"Most of the old man's men are pen sticks, to say that their brains are not worse than yours, but their courage is far worse."

"If you are cowardly and dare to be a spy, don't tease me."

"It's because you're timid that you'll be cautious and thoughtful, if you're someone like you who only knows how to fight and kill, then your identity will be exposed?"

"Boss, it's not interesting for you to say that, I was framed by someone and hit by mistake, otherwise I would still be eating and drinking in the sweat tent that I don't spend." Meng Yan Road.

"Your father-in-law agreed to this, you say you don't do it." Hu Hu moved Guo Nu out.

"Bring it?" Meng Yan doesn't eat this set, he still believes in three points for other officials, but this Hu Hu is still suspicious for three points.

"What?"

"We command the warrant of Lord Guo!" Meng Yan said with a natural look.

"Warrant, no."

"If you don't have a warrant, you won't be accompanied."

"Hey, you kid, I haven't seen you like this, and you still want to bomb the old man away, don't you?" Hu Hu was anxious.

The nobles and civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty were polite when they saw themselves, that is, Wang Zhen, on the surface, he was also amiable and obedient to a "boss", these juniors, either as students or as juniors, they are all quite respectful of themselves, except for political enemies!

"This Mr. Hu, this is the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, not in our house, you want to drink tea and chat, you can, I'll find someone to accompany you, find a quiet teahouse on the street, order a private room, Tiannan Haibei, how can you talk?"

"If this cabinet is really controlled by Wang Zhen, I'm afraid the reforms that you and your father-in-law want to implement in Jinyiwei won't be so easy, right?"

"Master Hu, you always find someone else, unless you have a warrant from Lord Guo, otherwise, I won't do it." Meng Yan Road.

"It's okay if you don't do it, old man, I'll meet the emperor in person, and say that the secret ballot is your father-in-law's idea, you can think about it, if you let the emperor know, you know what the consequences are, right?" Hu Hui made a killer move.

He didn't expect that this Meng Yan was also a master who didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't give face at all.

Meng Yan thought about it for a while, this really can't let the emperor know, it's not a big deal, but civil officials and military ministers will inevitably leave a bad impression in the emperor's heart, and this is what he is most afraid of.

"Okay, Master Hu, what do you always want me to do?"

Seeing Meng Yan's softness, Hu Hu smiled: "Even if you are a smart kid and know each other, in fact, this idea was also given to me by your father-in-law." ”

"Are you asking me to help you cheat in front of the emperor?" Meng Yan was taken aback after listening to Hu Hui's idea.

"It's not called cheating, it's about not letting some people's plots succeed."

"It's not called cheating, you asked me to replace the votes, that didn't interfere with the results of the election, and then that Chen Xun couldn't be the first assistant of the cabinet, so who would be the first assistant of the cabinet?" Meng Yan asked.

"That's not what you care about, your task is to print a batch of ballots, and then give them to the old man, and then cooperate with me to replace the ballots tomorrow when the Fengtian Temple is in court, this is all your job." Hu said.

"I'm not on duty at the Fengtian Temple tomorrow." Meng Yan Road.

"You don't have to worry about this, the old man will arrange it, and someone will transfer the shift with you." Hu said.

"Who?"

"Ask so much what to do, you will know when the time comes, when you change shifts, come to the room for a trip, I will be in the ......" Hu Hu whispered.

is really worthy of being an old comrade who has worked on the secret front, Hu Hu has imagined all the details.

"Don't worry, no fourth person knows what you are doing except for you and me and your father-in-law." Hu said.

Meng Yan nodded, but exchanging votes is not a simple job, it is a rather technical job.

"Mr. Hu, would this Wang Zhen have thought that we would drop the ballots?" Meng Yan asked.

"Probably not."

"It's better to be cautious, I have an idea, I don't know if Master Hu can adopt it?" Meng Yan Road.

"You say."

"So how do we replace the ballots?"

"It looks like we're cocooning ourselves, but in fact, we can make a fuss about the ballot box......"

"Okay, however, the box with the problem should be done, and the box without the problem should also be done, and when the thing is done, the box with the problem must be replaced, so as not to give the other party any chance to doubt!" Hu Hu nodded.

"Then let's go our separate ways." Since Meng Yan has taken over this errand, he naturally has to go all out to do his best.

Although it was only half a day, it was not difficult for him to print a batch of ballots and make a few voting boxes.

Meng Yan felt a little ridiculous, the first time the Ming Dynasty democratically voted for the first assistant of the cabinet, he actually used cheating methods.

And he planned and implemented it from beginning to end, but now some people are still in the dark and don't know.

I want Hu Hu to know that it was his bad idea for Guo Nu, and if he was tricked, I am afraid that his face will be even more ugly. (To be continued......)
