"Seize the day, how can you not be in a hurry?" Chen Pingping's thin face did not have a trace of expression, and the smooth and beardless jaw made the wrinkles on his face appear deeper and deeper, and his old appearance was fully revealed, "You have to remember, I am not much younger than Sean." ”

Fan Xian was silent, sniffed out some kind of gray aura from the old cripple in front of him, forcibly restrained his mind, and reported some secret things on the way out, but he did not reveal that he had a long talk with Sean in the cave all night, and he already knew the specific location of the temple.

"When will the manager enter the palace?" Chen Pingping seemed to be very confident in the woman who was remotely controlled by Qianli.

Fan Xian frowned slightly, thinking about when he would be able to contact the younger brother of the manager, and replied casually: "I am making arrangements with some people, for the Northern Qi Imperial Court, this is not a big deal, it should not be difficult." ”

Chen Pingping nodded, and then said, "You also know that the location of one place was originally reserved for Yan Bingyun. It's just that I didn't expect Yan Ruohai to want to retire at a young age, Yan Bingyun has been working under his father, and he is very familiar with the whole place, so it is a good choice to stay around. It's just a place that is thrown to you, and you use more heart. ”

Fan Xian squinted his eyes and said, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Chen Pingping looked into his eyes with a strange smile: "There are many aspects that you need to pay attention to. In fact, Your Majesty has always hoped that you will give one place again, after all, there are many Beijing officials in the cardinal, if you don't pay attention to them and let them get too close to the princes, there will always be some trouble. ”

Fan Xian's heart froze, and he began to curse secretly the one in the palace, your sons are making a fuss, why should I put out the fire?

Chen Pingping's withered fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair, and the knuckles of his fingers protruded, like the knots of bamboo. Fan Xian looked sideways, listening to the sound of the handrail, only to know that the handrail was hollow, and it was the same as bamboo, and he couldn't help but have a strange association, this most terrifying old man in Qingguo has a solar term like a strong bamboo in the wind?

"This time it was a good job on the north side. Chen Pingping said: "You let Wang Qinian stay there, I know what you want to do, but if Your Majesty doesn't speak, you can't do it for a day." ”

Fan Xian frowned and said, "The eldest princess made a lot of money from that line. You also know that I will take over Neiku after the year, if I don't sweep this line away before taking over, I will take over that mess, and I can't make results, how can I explain to the world?"

Chen Pingping glanced at him. said: "The Cui family came forward for the eldest princess to sell goods to the north, if you put this line in the pot, is there a suitable person to take over?"

Fan Xian thought that he had something to introduce, so he made a look of deafness.

Chen Pingping shook her hand: "I will report this matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty also feels that the eldest princess's hand has been stretched too long over the years, but after all, they are all a family." If he refuses to stop talking, don't do it...... You must know that the courtyard also hopes that you can firmly control the inner library in your hands, firstly, you are the Tisi yourself, and secondly, you must be clear. The fact that the Supervision Yuan is now able to maintain its current status among the three courts and six departments is also inseparable from the inner treasury. ”

Fan Xian asked, "What is this statement?"

Chen Pingping glanced at him and slowly explained in a gloomy voice: "The Supervision Yuan Department supervises the power of hundreds of officials. Therefore, there can be no relationship with these ministries and institutes, and state affairs and hospital affairs have always been extremely separated. The amount of money spent by the Supervisory Yuan in a year is really a large amount, but after so many years, not a penny has been pulled out of the state treasury, so neither the household department nor the side ministry can point fingers at the court, and this is the so-called independence. ”

Fan Xian understood: "The funds of the Supervision Yuan are directly drawn from the profits of the inner treasury. ”

"Not bad. Chen Pingping continued: "This is the iron rule set by your mother back then. In order to tear the courtyard apart from the officials of the world. Therefore, if you want to take charge of this courtyard in the future, you have to plan for the thousands of officials in the courtyard and those peripheral people, and the healthier the inner treasury, the stronger the economic foundation of the Inspectorate, and you can always maintain this independent position. ”

Chen Pingping sneered: "Since the bloodshed thirteen years ago, Your Majesty doesn't know how many times he has made a new policy, the old military department has been changed to the Military Yuan, and now it has been changed to the Privy Council, and the military department has been re-established, this is just a microcosm. These things in name have been changed back and forth, and they seem to have no impact in their bones, but in fact they have kneaded these ministries and departments into a lot of dough, and the reason why the Supervision Yuan has remained the same is because of the so-called independence. ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly: "This is not Your Majesty's words. ”

"So you have to fight!" Chen Pingping stared at his eyes with a cold heart, "In the future, if one day, the palace is going to crush the Supervision Yuan, you must fight! If the Supervision Yuan also becomes a tattered thing like Dali Temple, our Daqing Dynasty ...... I'm afraid it will slowly become the kind of tattered stuff that Da Wei did back then!"

Fan Xian understood that the old cripple was worried, and he had more knowledge than him, so he naturally understood the importance of the independence of the so-called supervisory body.

"Therefore, the inner library and the supervision institute are one and the same. Chen Pingping said word by word: "Your father's idea is really naïve! To take charge of the inner treasury, you must have the power in your hands and firmly control this courtyard! And to control this courtyard, you must ensure the blood supply of this courtyard! Don't underestimate the thing of money, this little thing, which can destroy the most tightly controlled organization in the world. ”

Seeing that he talked about his father, Fan Xian, as a son, naturally couldn't talk much, so he had to be taught in silence.

On the same day, Fan Xian went to a place and officially took office, and the yamen of a place was not in the square and gray-black building painted on the outside, but in a courtyard next to the Dali Temple in the east of the city.

He leaned against the wall of the carriage, holding back the smile in his heart, and looked at the sign that he thought was very nondescript:

"The First Branch of the Supervision Yuan of the Great Qing Dynasty"

Fan Xian suddenly had a ridiculous feeling of time flowing, thinking that he had come to another time and space, at the door of the procuratorate of a city famous for its oil fields.

The light car was simple, and he didn't say hello to Mu Tie in advance, and the official documents in the courtyard had not yet been issued. Therefore, the officials of the Supervision Yuan in one place did not know that a new leader would come today, and the people in the gatehouse looked at the carriage at the entrance of the yamen and muttered for a while, thinking that the young man standing outside was laughing like a fool, he was really blind to that beautiful face, and he stood for a long time and didn't come in, what did he do?

At this time, Fan Xian had already led Deng Ziyue and a few henchmen inside, but Fuji Zijing refused to go in, and was still willing to stay away from places like the Supervision Institute in his heart. The porter was an old man who was nearly half a hundred years old this year, and he hurriedly walked out and stopped: "A few adults, what are you doing?"

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, thinking about the first time he rashly broke into the Supervision Yuan. No one stopped him, and that was because no idlers would run to the Supervision Yuan to hang out. His mind turned very fast, looking at this porter to stop him, thinking to himself, is there usually a lot of officials in this place?

Although he didn't wear an official uniform today, Deng Ziyue and the others were still wearing the uniforms of the Supervision Yuan, so the porter didn't know their identities, and his tone was relatively soft.

Fan Xian ignored him and walked straight inside, Deng Ziyue stopped the old man, and several people walked directly into the yamen.

As soon as he entered the yamen, Fan Xian found that this place was really different, not to mention that no one came up to greet him and ask one or two, walked a few rooms, and found that the room was empty. When it was on duty, there was no one. He was a little puzzled, so he found a chair in the side hall and sat down, faintly hearing a commotion from behind the yamen.

There are several officials in the Qi Nian group, and there happens to be one of them who followed Lord Tisi today, this person's surname is Su Wenmao, seeing that the adult's face is uncertain, he hurriedly ran to the signing room to find the official on duty. Unexpectedly, he didn't find it. Su Wenmao also wondered to himself, thinking that he had only been away from one place for a year, why had the whole atmosphere in the yamen become a little weird, fortunately, it was an old man in one place, and he couldn't find anyone, and he could still find tea and hot water, so he quickly made a cup of tea respectfully and brought it to Fan Xian.

Fan Xian was not in a hurry, holding the tea bowl in his hand and sipping gently, like those old ministers in the court, he posed with a calm score.

Deng Ziyue glared at Su Wenmao, meaning, why didn't he find someone to come out for a long time? Su Wenmao stood beside Fan Xian, half-leaning on his body, with a wry smile on his face, how dare he respond, he really didn't expect that under the majesty of Dean Chen, a place in the dignified Supervision Yuan would become the appearance of an ordinary idle yamen.

The porter took a look outside the door and found that these adults were just drinking tea, presumably waiting for someone, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it. So a few people sat in the hall so embarrassed, Fan Xian was a little impatient, stood up, and motioned for a few of them to sit, but he walked to the cabinet next to the hall and began to rummage through the case files that had already been covered with dust, thinking to himself, no one came to stop him, and the discipline in this place was really corrupted.

Suddenly, a few people walked in while talking and laughing, and saw that they were all dressed as officials of the Supervision Yuan, and they were carrying a large bamboo basket with fish chilled in the basket, which looked quite fresh. When these people passed by Fan Xian and his party, they didn't look at it, but one of them caught a glimpse of Su Wenmao, laughed and shouted, "Old Su, why do you have time to come back and sit today?"

Su Wenmao's face was full of embarrassment, but he saw Fan Xian's gesture in the corner, so he had to smile and say: "Today, a tisi is reporting in the courtyard, and a few of us are fine, so let's take a few brothers to go shopping." "All the way north, the Qi Nian team knew Fan Xian's methods, and under the prestige, they didn't dare to remind half a word.

The man clapped his palms and shouted to the rest of the people to carry the basket of fish in first, and said to Su Wenmao with envy on his face: "Old Su, you are now soaring, follow that little master, you will not be able to go sideways in the future?"

Su Wenmao pondered the wording, and replied with a small meaning: "Lord Tisi is strict, I don't dare to rely on his old man's name to come outside." ”

The man laughed and said, "Don't talk about that, anyway, these good things won't be in our turn, let's take a walk......" He beckoned Deng Ziyue's colleagues at the same time, "Since you're here, don't go first, how long will it take to open in the yard, everyone knows it, it's okay to go in with me and rub two handfuls first." ”

Deng Ziyue snorted coldly and turned his face to the side. Seeing that he didn't give face, the man also showed embarrassment on his face, and he hated and thought in his heart, didn't he just hug Fan Tisi's thigh?

At this moment, Fan Xian walked out and asked with a gentle face: "This big brother, I saw that you packed a basket before, and you are going to eat this at noon?" ”

The light in the yamen was dim, and the man didn't see Fan Xian's face clearly, only knew that it was a young man, and said with a smile: "Then I can't bear to eat, I'll distribute it home after a while." ”

"Oh, it seems to be a very valuable fish, otherwise it wouldn't be in ice. Fan Xian said.

"That's!" the man also glanced at Deng Ziyue, with a proud look on his face, "The Yunmeng fish that was rushed from the south for eight hundred miles, caught up in the big lake, is very delicious, and it will go bad if you don't need to be chilled, in this Kyoto city, even if it is those superb ministers, it is not easy to eat." That is to say, the military department has this ability, and it is also a loss that we are a dignified supervision institute, otherwise where would there be such a good mouth. ”

"It turned out that it was sent by the military department. Fan Xian smiled slightly, knowing that the various ministries and departments in Kyoto would definitely work hard to please one place, but he didn't expect to work so hard.

The man arched his hand and said, "Don't talk about it, since you are waiting for Lord Tisi to end the meeting, then sit down for a while, I will go first and carry my own fish, and then come out to talk to a few people." ”

Fan Xian said: "Don't panic, we still have something to visit Master Mu, but we haven't found anyone, and I asked this brother to do me a favor." ”

The man glanced at him, smiled and said, "What a big deal I should have, I'll go and report it, you wait." ”

――――――

The man walked to the backyard with a smile, and as soon as he left the sight of Fan Xian and the others, his face immediately changed, and he trotted all the way into a room behind the yamen, kicking the door open!

There were a few people in the room who were sitting on the table rubbing the mahjong child happily, and they were startled by him so disturbed, and they couldn't help but scold loudly. Mu Tie, who was sitting on the main seat, looked even more unkind, and a verdant mahjong child turned into a hidden weapon and threw it over, scolding: "Run to mourn, you! Several fish have also made you greedy like this." ”

The man trembled and said, "Master Mu, there is a young man here. ”

Mu Tie frowned, and said to himself: "What kind of person, if it's familiar, bring it over, I can't bear to hold this good hand." ”

"Not familiar. The man said in a trembling voice: "But Su Wenmao also followed, I guess it...... Could it be...... That young master is here?"

Mu Tie was startled, slapped the case, pointed at his nose and scolded, "You...... You have to be responsible when you speak!" He stood up in fright and circled around the spot a few times, and asked anxiously, "Is it really Lord Tisi?"

"I guess so. The man's face was full of grievances: "In front of him, I don't dare to recognize him, pretend not to know, hurry up and inform the adults, if it is really Vantis, you have to pay attention to it." ”

Mu Tie's face was full of panic, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to scatter the card table, rearrange it into an office, and trotted all the way to the front hall of the yamen with the man, running all the way and saying: "Feng'er, take note of your merits, go back and ask your aunt to introduce you to good family affairs...... Damn, this Lord Tisi has come here, thanks to your clever response...... It's really worthy of being part of our Qinming Supervision Yuan! This intelligence camouflage work has been left behind, very good, very good!"

The secret agent, known as Feng'er, wiped the ice water in his hand on the shirt behind his buttocks, and said, "It's Lord Mu who has a good leadership and a good leadership." ”
