Before Yu Wenkai could figure out where the money came from, Wang Mang gave Deng Fang a look, and Deng Fang directly shouted:

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"

The hundred officials looked at each other one after another, and they couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do, how did he feel that there was no end to this thing, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

However, the hundred officials have not yet been able to react from the various things that happened in the early dynasty today, so they didn't dare to speak at this time.

Then Deng Fang saw that all the officials didn't speak, so he glanced at the emperor and shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty!"

So all the ministers shouted long live and welcomed Wang Mang leaving.

Wang Mang didn't want to go to the toilet this time, he simply didn't want to talk about it anymore, there were too many issues to talk about today, too sensitive, as the so-called too much talk will be lost, there is no need to continue to talk deeply, you can continue to talk at the next court meeting.

The officials left one after another, and several bigwigs in the court were you look at me, I look at you, and finally Zhang Jian looked at Li Hong and said, "Li Hong, what's the matter with you?"

Li Hong once worked under Zhang Jian, although he was promoted to Shangshu, and his grade was the same as Zhang Jian, but as the saying goes, one day is a leader, and a lifetime is a leader, so Zhang Jian can call him by his name, Li Hong looked at Zhang Jian and smiled bitterly, and said: "Boss, I have no choice but to do it!"

But it was not a last resort, the emperor put the knife on his head, what could he do? If he couldn't break his wrist with a strong man, then he could only jump into the river with him!

Yu Wenkai looked at Li Hong with a sad face and said: "God of Wealth, Your Majesty asked me to build the road, but we don't have the money to build the road, so we have your strong support!"

"Do you think I look like I'm rich?" Li Hong said with a bitter face: "My household is just an empty shelf, and there is not a penny of silver in the treasury now." ”

"Yes!" Wang Yongji snorted coldly on the side: "Who told you to repair the city wall, anyway, it's all repair, and it's not bad to build the road." ”

"Lord Wang, I really don't have any selfishness at all. Yu Wenkai looked at Wang Yongji and said: "I just see that the city wall built by your military department is indeed a little slow, and I want to help!"

"Huh. Wang Yongji's face was full of "Do you think I believe it?"

At this time, Zhao Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened his mouth and said, "My lords, our Ministry of Rites has always been a Qingshui Yamen, and this time we have also suffered from your unwarranted disaster!"

"I all complain about Fang Xizhi, this old bastard!" Li Si, the secretary of the Criminal Department, scolded: "If it weren't for this old boy being imprisoned in Jinyiwei, and seeing the methods of my Criminal Department, he wouldn't let him ......."

At this moment, Li Lan walked over and said with a smile: "A few Lord Shangshu, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

The bigwigs looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor was looking for them to do at this time, but when the emperor summoned them, everyone still had different thoughts and hurriedly followed Li Lan to the palace.

When I arrived at the place, I found that there were Zhang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Yu Wenkai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Si, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wang Yongji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Haifeng, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shen Buxian, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Gongsun Yan, the ambassador of the General Administration Department.

What is this for? Could it be that something big is happening?

Everyone looked preoccupied, and then they heard Deng Fang jump open the curtain, Wang Mang walked out, and the nine adults kowtowed one after another: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After a period of unnutritious Wanfu Jin'an, Zhang Jian, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and said, "I don't know what important things Your Majesty has to convene his ministers?"

"Your Excellency, don't be nervous. Wang Mang looked at these ministers with a nervous look, and said with a smile in his heart: "There is such a big thing in the imperial court, and there is even a household department Zuo Shilang who has been arrested, and the officials of the imperial court involved cannot be counted at present, so I have recruited you to ask you to find a way to appease the hearts of the hundred officials." ”

"The ministers will obey the holy order, and after they return, they will come forward to appease the hearts of the people and share the worries of His Majesty. The nine bigwigs expressed their resolute support for the emperor's wise decision-making, resolutely united under the leadership of the emperor-centered court, resolutely eliminated inappropriate remarks, and resolutely put an end to attempts by some people to make trouble with this.

"Yes, with your words, I can rest assured. Wang Mang smiled and nodded, it is not easy to kill a household servant, not to mention that there may be a lot of officials involved in this household servant, so Wang Mang summoned these nine people to help him reduce the fire to the officials who might make trouble.

"It is the duty of the ministers to share the worries of His Majesty. The nine bigwigs continued to express their position.

"Well, I understand your intentions, I came to you today, and there are other things. As soon as Wang Mang opened his mouth, he let the nine bigwigs know that this was the right topic, and immediately looked at Wang Mang calmly, waiting for Wang Mang to speak.

Wang Mang looked around at the crowd, and said after a moment's silence: "As soon as Fang Xizhi goes, who do you think can take over as the left servant of the household department?"

As soon as Wang Mang's words were finished, everyone's eyes looked at Li Hong, and asked in their hearts whether Li Hong had done anything bad, and why did the emperor target them so much.

Fang Xizhi had just been arrested, and the emperor here was anxiously trying to insert people in the household department, needless to say, this was the household department that offended the emperor ruthlessly!

But after thinking about it, the adults had some careful thoughts, Li Hong has been in office for more than ten years, from the right attendant of the household department all the way to the position of the household secretary, and the former household department is Li Hong's teacher, you can talk about ten years to let Li Hong run the household department like an iron bucket, who can not enter.

But the household department is a place where all the yamen in the world have to deal with, if you don't have a good relationship with the household department, you don't want to take out a penny of money from the household department.

Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that everyone present, whose yamen has not been owed money by the household department, and the reason for the arrears is naturally nonsense such as the financial constraints of the imperial court.

If the imperial court's finances were really so tight, how could Fang Xizhi be so rich.

So when this household department was almost cleaned, all the adults started to think, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to install their own people, or people who had a good relationship with themselves, so that it would be easier to do things next time they asked for money, right?

And Li Hong pursed his lips, and finally said stubbornly: "According to the rules, the left waiter is gone, and he will be taken over by the right waiter, and the right waiter Deng Tongshan is good at managing money, and he has been diligent and conscientious since he took office, and he has served His Majesty. ”

"What do you think?" Wang Mang looked at the others.

"Deng Tong is indeed an expert in financial management, he is a left waiter, and the minister has no objections. Zhang Jian, the secretary of the ministry, took the lead in speaking.

Seeing Zhang Jian nodded, several other adults also nodded in agreement, in fact, it is not harmful for Deng Tong to be a left waiter for them, everyone knows that Deng Tong is a strict and clean person, which is completely different from Fang Xizhi, and it is also a matter of course for the right waiter to be promoted to the left waiter.

Besides, it may not be Li Hong's sincere idea to let Deng Tong recognize Zuo Shilang, it is really because Fang Xizhi fell too quickly, and Li Hong can't come up with a suitable person for a while.

"Then who can take over as the right attendant of the Tobe?"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Wang Mang opened his mouth and asked, he had heard of Deng Tongshan's reputation for financial management, and let him serve as the left attendant Wang Mang felt that it was okay, but Wang Mang, the right attendant of the household department, had his own ideas.
