Liu Hongyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He is a low-level official, and he has no background, and he has always regarded the party struggle and the struggle for succession as a flood beast, and he did not dare to touch a little, for fear that the benefits would not be reaped, but in the end he would become cannon fodder.

Especially since he is going to be a minister, and his son is not successful, he will not have much success in the future. He just wants his son to be an honest low-level official, live a good life, and just be safe.

But he protected Cai Yaozong, and Zhao Ruxi wrote a letter to Beijing, which made people mistakenly think that he was from the prince's family, I am afraid that it is really not easy for him to be safe.

Thinking about this, he immediately turned his head and ordered his entourage: "Call Master Cai." ”

The retinue hurried to the next door.

And Cai Yaozong, who was next door, knew that Zhao Ruxi came out after entering Liu Hongyu's house, and then left the yamen, he was thinking about what she wanted to do, so he heard Liu Hongyu call him.

He got up and went to the next door, and saw Liu Hongyu with a black face, and scolded with a face: "If you don't agree, don't agree at that time." If you agree and don't let her see the files and accounts, what is this? She handed it to the top, and you and I both had to eat and hang up. ”

Cai Yaozong sneered in his heart.

This Liu Hongyu is really "the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is", he wants to get benefits, but he doesn't want to take risks, and he panics when he sees someone who is a little powerful. In vain, I am very jealous of him.

He shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "If she really wants to be valued by the emperor, she will not be let go, but will stay in the Hanlin Academy in the capital." If you can't enter the Hanlin Academy, you can enter the household department. It can be seen that it scares us. The emperor has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to read the excerpts of the magistrate? The folds we handed over had to be screened by various ministries, and they could not be handed over to the emperor easily. ”

"Besides, we didn't do anything, we didn't say we wouldn't let her take care of things, we didn't say we wouldn't let her see the files and accounts. It's just that she can't find the files and accounts she wants for a while, so if she waits for a day and a half, she will have to sue. Not to mention that the emperor can't ignore it, but her senior brother Wu Huaisi knows about it, and he is embarrassed to ask the emperor for it. ”

"The emperor appointed a little girl to be the champion, which was already criticized. At this time, she came to us, and in less than half a day, she had an awkward relationship with the chief officer and senior officials, and also wrote an excerpt complaint. Being an official is not a playhouse. If she really wants to do this, Yushi is waiting to find her black spot to impeach her. Doesn't that give people a handle? ”

"Don't talk about herself, these people in Wuhuai Temple have to be killed by her."

If it weren't for Zhong Liang's analysis, Liu Hongyu might have been shaken after listening to his words.

But now that he has chosen to take sides, even if Zhao Ruxi has no way to sue, he still intends to abandon the alliance with Cai Yaozong and stand on Zhao Ruxi's side.

He said, "No matter what, we can't let anyone grab the authority." You have people hurry up and put the files and accounts in order. The day after tomorrow, I'll let her receive it the day after tomorrow. ”

Cai Yaozong's face slowly sank.

He looked at Liu Hongyu for a while, and suddenly laughed, his smile was not warm.

He stood up and said, "Since the lord has given the order, the lower officials will obey it. If the lord has no other instructions, the subordinate will take his leave. With that, he arched his hand and walked out.

Back in his room, he sat with a gloomy face for a while before going to Chen Kang.

"Huh? Lord Cai didn't come home for dinner? Chen Kang asked.

Cai Yaozong didn't speak, sat down and picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, poured all the tea into his stomach, and then let out a long breath, wiped his mouth and said: "I was bullied by a little girl, can I eat?" ”

Chen Kang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Lord Liu fell to her side?" ”

Cai Yaozong nodded.

Chen Kang pinched a few locks of his beard with his hands, nodded and said, "It seems that the forces behind her are stronger than I imagined." ”

He glanced at Cai Yaozong and said again: "This Lord Zhao is not an ordinary little girl, she is more powerful than Lord Cai." Otherwise, it's useless to just have a backstage, she has to stand up on her own and be able to convince Lord Liu to fall to her. ”

Cai Yaozong: There is a saying in "......" that I don't know whether to say or not.

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Kang: "Don't forget, we are grasshoppers on a rope." People like her, young, with a high starting point, are arrogant and empty-sighted. She doesn't necessarily look down on you like that. ”

There is enough oil and water on the salt and grain, and the oil and water in it are all shared between him and Chen Kang. Liu Hongyu is an upright official, cherishes feathers, and never touches this matter, which is also the reason why Cai Yaozong was able to quickly cooperate with Chen Kang after he arrived in Nanyang and pulled salt and grain into his bowl early.

"So what are you going to do? Hardtop with her? As long as you can withstand it here, I'll be fine here. "Old God Chen Kang is in the tunnel.

Cai Yaozong was dumbfounded.

Liu Hongyu is his superior after all, and he is not weak and incompetent. Once Liu Hongyu gets serious, he really can't do anything. After all, he had to rely on Liu Hongyu for the final year-end evaluation and recommendation before leaving office.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You ask Wang Yongshou to find out the files of salt and grain four years ago first, and send them to her house tomorrow." Then take advantage of these two days to take a good look at the recent accounts again, and correct any problems in time. ”

Chen Kang said: "Don't worry, I'm more careful than you in those accounts, Lord Zhao is a little girl, and she will never see anything." No matter how good she is, how good is her arithmetic? It's not something that can be solved by arithmetic. ”

For so many years, the reason why he dared to stretch out his hand to salt and grain was because of Wang Yongshou's kung fu in making accounts. Of course, he didn't treat Wang Yongshou badly. Over the years, Wang Yongshou has definitely taken no less than him.

With this sentence, Cai Yaozong put his mind at ease and said, "Cheng, then there will be no problem." ”

"But looking at the files and accounts is only the first step for Lord Zhao, right? She's going to take one of the salt grains from the adults, right? Chen Kang asked.

As soon as he heard this, Cai Yaozong was deflated.

He sighed, "Isn't it? That aunt and grandmother are greedy. ”

He looked at Chen Kang, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of arc: "I don't care, it's a big deal that I don't want this bit of power and money." But Chen Jingcheng is about to lose your rights in this regard. Don't worry about it yourself, do you think those under your command will agree? ”

Chen Kang's face changed slightly.

"So, don't sit on the sidelines and watch the excitement. The two of us are grasshoppers on a rope. Cai Yaozong returned this sentence to Chen Kang.

Chen Kang thought for a moment and asked, "Why don't we make a bet?" Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang? ”
