"Hmm......" Zhou An's eyes widened suddenly.

Princess Yunjing also froze suddenly, she just wanted to kiss Zhou An on the cheek, but somehow she kissed it...... It's so strange, why do you want to kiss Zhou An?

Princess Yunjing slowly raised her head and moved a little.

Zhou An was still a little stunned, and he still had a ginseng in his hair, which had just fallen on his head.

"Humph!" Princess Yunjing looked at Zhou An and snorted, but the corners of her mouth were upturned, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held back, she raised her hand and pressed Zhou An's nose, and the corners of her mouth curled: "Reward you!" Helped Princess Ben break through, fortunately for you. ”

"No, you're welcome, the minion should do it." Zhou An finally said it smoothly.

"Sne......er" Princess Yunjing didn't hold back for a moment, and laughed, but she immediately looked solemn, and glanced at Zhou An very restrainedly: "Stupid!" ”

"Hey......" Zhou An grinned with a smirk.

"Still don't let go of this princess? Haven't had enough of the cheap? Princess Yunjing said with a cross-eyed eye, this is naturally a joke.

Zhou An hurriedly let go of his hand.

Princess Yunjing stood up in the bathtub, and Zhou An, who was sitting in the bathtub, stayed for a moment, this perspective ......

"Don't look at it." Princess Yunjing slapped Zhou An on the face and pushed it.

"Yes, yes, the minions don't look at it." Zhou An immediately closed his eyes.

"Tsk, so obedient, good!" As Princess Yunjing spoke, she lowered her head and kissed Zhou An on the forehead, and then turned her waist and turned out of the bathtub and went to the screen to get dressed.

After a while, Princess Yunjing was dressed and came out from behind the screen.

Zhou An was still in the bathtub with his eyes closed.

"Hongu is dressed." Princess Cloudview said.

Zhou An opened his eyes.

Princess Yunjing had already walked to the edge of the bathtub, looked Zhou An up and down again, and then suddenly made a move, touched Zhou An's chest, pinched it and smiled: "Why is it so white?" It's so sturdy! ”

Zhou An was stunned.

"Hah, let's go." Princess Cloudview smiled and left.

Zhou An didn't come back to his senses for a long time, this is ...... Molested by a princess?!

I hate it!

Zhou An suddenly hated himself so much, why was he a eunuch? Why? If this is not a eunuch, just in that situation, I have to deal with the princess directly......

******

Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar

On this day, Zhou An got up very early, first went to the Qianwu Palace to ask the empress for peace, and then left the palace in a hurry and came to the Dongchang Yamen.

He hasn't come to the yamen for many days, but today is a little special, because tomorrow is Wu Xukuan's day of forcing the palace, and there will be a "tough battle" to be fought tomorrow, so Zhou An must be prepared today.

In the study.

When Zhou An entered the door with the small pavilion, Tang Hongfei and Li Hubiao had already arrived first.

"Factory father, you can ...... it" Tang Hongfei first handed over a thick stack of documents to Zhou An.

Zhou An sat down behind the table and began to look through it.

Strictly speaking, these are two investigation reports, and the people under investigation are Qi Jingtai, the secretary of the household department, and Zhang Yuwu, the secretary of the military department, both of whom are Wu Xukuan's most important henchmen, one is in charge of the treasury, and the other is in charge of the imperial court's right to transfer troops.

These two people must move one of them.

No matter which one can be removed, it is equivalent to cutting off Wu Xukuan's arm!

Zhou An thought about this at the beginning, Li Guangshan's comeback, at least give him a position in the six books, although the old man is influential, but he can't rely on influence alone to fight against Wu Xukuan, he still has real power.

Among the six departments, the most authoritative is the Ministry of Officials.

Although Wu Xukuan has the power of the world, he is the head of a hundred officials, but he can not directly appoint and dismiss anyone, he only has the right to recommend, the right to appoint and dismiss is in the hands of the ministry, and the right to appoint and remove at a higher level is in the hands of the emperor.

Moreover, the secretary of the ministry is in the cabinet, so it can be said that ...... The official department is the number two person in the traitorous group, and his importance is second only to Wu Xukuan himself.

However, Zhou An didn't want the old man to go to the ministry.

One is that the official department is very difficult to move, and the other is that the old handsome appointment of the official department is not of great help to the empress, because no matter how great the power of the ministry is, it is impossible to be greater than the empress, and the empress herself can appoint and dismiss whoever she wants, and the strips approved by the official department are naturally not as useful as the empress's holy decree.

For Wu Xukuan, the Ministry of Officials is very important, this is the key to his control of hundreds of officials in the world, and the authority of the Ministry of Officials is enough to deter those officials below and force them to support Wu Xukuan even if they don't want to.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, what Wu Xukuan lacks is the support of those petty officials? Of course there is no shortage! For Wu Xukuan, the important thing is the support of the important ministers, those who are third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade.

And at this level of officials, the officials are not able to move if they say they can move.

What's more, even if the empress wants to move the ministers, she doesn't need to use the officials, Dongchang Jinyiwei will naturally do it, what the ministers lack is not the right, nor the evidence, but whether they can move, and how Wu Xukuan will react if she moves.

Therefore, the Ministry of Officials is extremely important, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is inappropriate for Li Guangshan to go to the Ministry of Officials, because it cannot be of much help to the empress.

The household department is different from the military department, the household department controls the money, and the military salary is issued from the household department.

The military department is the highest administrative officer in charge of the military of the whole country, and the Ministry of Officials has the power to appoint, dismiss, and evaluate administrative officials, that is, civilian officials, and the military department has the power to appoint, dismiss, and evaluate military generals.

Li Guangshan must become one of the six Shangshu, either the household department or the military department.

And only from the perspective of Li Guangshan's qualifications, he is the most suitable to serve as the secretary of the military department.

After all, he was born in the military.

However, whether to let him go to the military department or to the household department depends on the situation, in fact, the household department also has great influence on the military department, and it can even be said to be a kind of check and balance, because the military salary is allocated by the household department.

……

Zhou An read it quickly, ten lines at a glance, there is no need to look too carefully, it is generally understood, the household department and the military department must take out one, of course, there must be a proper reason.

These days, the main manpower of the East Factory is used in this matter.

Or investigate corruption.

The investigation went smoothly and the harvest was great...... When it comes to officials at the level of the Six Shangshu, if they are greedy, there will be no situation where they can't find evidence, because they are too greedy, too much, and will involve too many people and too many things, and the more they are involved, the easier it will be to investigate.

For example, Zhang Yuwu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, repaired the ancestral tomb for his hometown, occupied a large area of land, and built a road leading to his ancestral tomb.

After reading it, Zhou An pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Lu Lian Mansion, how is the investigation?" ”

"Factory Boss, you can see it......" Tang Hongfei took out a document from his arms and handed it to Zhou An.

Zhou An opened it and looked at it, and was immediately stunned.

Lu Lian's corruption has been investigated clearly, and he has even found out where Lu Lian hid the corrupt money.

Everything was done by Pan Yuanyu alone.

His method of doing this is also very simple...... He coaxed Lu Lian's wife to bed.
