The person who came wore a dark cloak, and his handsome face was tucked into his coat and hat, and appeared under the corridor of the study without being passed on by his subordinates.

The night fog was hazy, Bai Jing took a good look at the courtyard, and the little people on duty were gone. She was slightly stunned, looked at him and then looked back at her father, stiffening in place.

Bai Shengben sat in front of the table and said strangely: "Jinghao, who is outside?" ”

Bai Jinghao suddenly came back to his senses, replied "His Royal Highness the Nine Kings", and saluted.

The two have met many times, but it is the first time that they have asked for peace in such a serious way.

Liu Yu's moist and smiling eyes were as calm as water at the moment, and the complexion on his face was even more unfathomable, so he didn't look at her much, and walked in by his side.

Bai Sheng stood up from his throne repeatedly, straightened his robe and saluted: "The lower official has seen the prince, but I don't know if the prince came at night, what do you want to tell the lower official?" ”

He was afraid that his wife would make a fuss, and the Nine Kings and the Prince of Yunxi would take advantage of this to make a fuss, and his heart trembled strongly.

After Liu Yu entered the house, he sat down in front of the bookcase, glanced at the documents of the Ministry of Officials that were still spread out next to him, and said with a smile: "Bai Shangshu is really diligent, all the important documents of the Ministry of Officials have been brought to the house?" ”

Bai Shengzuo's raised hands lowered, and hurriedly explained: "Jiangzhou is turbulent, the officials oppress the people, forcing the people to live in poverty, not long ago the people rose up, the saint just sent someone to clean up, and now he is preparing to redistribute the officials to the past, and the lower officials just take it back for reference." ”

He nodded as he spoke, and emphasized, "Yes, it's for reference." ”

Liu Yu asked seriously: "What are you talking to this king for?" The king stayed away from the court, and never asked about the appointment and dismissal of officials. ”

Bai Sheng was embarrassed, quietly looked at him, and saw that the Nine Kings were talking about not asking, but his hands were already picking through those documents, and his heart was beating a drum. He asked repeatedly: "I wonder why the prince is here?" ”

Liu Yu casually closed the document and said in a casual tone: "Jiangzhou is my important place in the Great Zhou, this matter is not trivial, right?" ”

"Exactly, the Holy One has been worried about this for a long time."

Liu Yu smiled: "Since Bai Shangshu is hesitant to make a decision, this king has a list that can help Shangshu solve this difficulty." ”

He took out a folded post from his sleeve, Bai Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and saw the study door open, and looked at his daughter next to him.

Bai Jinghao also knew the look, and bent his knees to the side, "Father, my daughter will retire first." ”

She stepped back and closed the door, but didn't go far.

The courtyard was silent, and standing under the porch, he could still clearly hear the conversation inside, only to hear that his father, who was usually upright, was talking in fear at the moment: "Lord Wang, these are little-known local officials, how can they be appointed to major positions in Jiangzhou?" ”

In the room, Liu Yu looked at Bai Sheng, who was in awe and panic, and only glanced at the figure under the porch slightly, and said with a smile: "Bai Shangshu has the power in his hands, and it is naturally up to you who you want to recommend." Although these petty officials did not know their names in the past, they were deeply supported by the people in their positions on the ground, and they were all about to leave their posts and be promoted.

Since the Ministry of Officials was originally going to arrange other forbearance positions for them, and Jiangzhou was short of people, why not complement each other and make your Ministry a trouble, isn't it? ”

"Lord Wang, don't you know, the matter of Jiangzhou is very important, unlike the ordinary local officials, who have drafted a fold and asked His Majesty Zhu to approve it. The appointment and dismissal of this personnel must be discussed with His Majesty before he can be compromised, and His Majesty will personally evaluate these people. Bai Sheng's face was full of embarrassment.

Liu Yu looked relaxed, "The ministry sent an official document to summon them to Beijing." ”

This is not a problem for Bai Sheng.

But Jiangzhou is a fat place, it is a good place, and after turmoil, the officials sent now can easily make achievements to win the hearts of the people, this kind of good errand The major families in the capital are vying to plan for their children.

Those noble families who have brothers in the clan who have been trained outside are all thinking of ways to entrust him with Bai Sheng's relationship, and they only need a recommendation to make them remember the good of the Bai family, but now they want to give the opportunity to these local officials with no background?

Bai Sheng was full of displeasure, but he looked at the list in his hand, and suddenly reacted again, how could the Nine Princes, who had never been familiar with government affairs, have such a thing, and he was so clear about the regulations and procedures of the Ministry of Officials?

He looked at the person in front of him in amazement, and said seriously: "Lord Wang, if you have a staff member who needs to be promoted, enter the palace to recommend it to Your Majesty, why do you want to embarrass the official?" Also, this kind of thing is spread out of the official's mansion in the middle of the night......"

"Really? What should Bai Shangshu say about seeing the Six Kings in private in the past? Liu Yufeng asked lightly.

Bai Sheng's expression was choked.

"Bai Shangshu is a smart person, but also a talented person, with a strategy and knowledge of current affairs, unlike those stereotypical officials who don't know how to be funny. The purpose of this king's coming here, you know it well, why bother pretending to be stupid with this king? ”

His eyes sharpened, and he said bluntly and concisely: "Instead of speculating about the intentions of this king, it is better for this king to tell you directly, whether it is the East Palace or the Six Princes' Mansion, it is not your Bai Shangshu's good wood." ”

Bai Sheng's face turned pale, it is a felony for courtiers to form a party without permission, but this kind of atmosphere can never be stopped, he has recently abandoned the East Palace and favored the six kings, but it is not good to be said by the people in front of him so bluntly.

"The prince is strategic, he knows the court situation well, but he is a clumsy official, and he failed to see the prince's hills and ravines earlier."

Liu Yu seemed to run out of patience, threw away the paperwork in his hand, stared at the person standing opposite and asked, "Do you say, do this thing or not?" ”

"Lord, it's better to go to Your Majesty to discuss the affairs of the court, okay?" Bai Sheng replied cautiously.

This is a polite refusal.

Liu Yu stood up with the table, "Not bad." ”

Bai Sheng's face was full of confusion, and his eyes were puzzled.

"He's a firm guy, not one of those slick people."

This compliment? Bai Sheng touched the sweat on his forehead, and felt that the charcoal in the house was too hot.

"The prince is falsely praised, and the lower officials dare not be ashamed."

Liu Yu hooked his lips slightly, and then continued: "Since Bai Shangshu wants to do business with this king, then this king will discuss with you about the official affairs with your mansion." ”

Bai Sheng was even more puzzled in his heart, his family had nothing to do with his Nine Kings, even if he had dealings in the past, it was because he accompanied the Six Kings, what business could he have?

I only listened to Liu Yu's beautiful voice and said slowly in an orderly manner: "I don't know that Bai Shangshu doesn't know that your Bai family owes three lives to the East Palace." If this lawsuit is clear, what should I say? ”

Bai Jinghao, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was so frightened that she almost broke the door, who is this?

Bai Sheng was really puzzled, and asked for advice: "The lower official is dull, please let the prince speak clearly." ”

Liu Yu glanced out of the door and continued: "What has your lady been running around for recently, Shangshu always understands in his heart, right?" ”
