On the night of November 20, the Song Emperor collapsed in the Funing Palace, and the new emperor Zhao Xi succeeded him.

Cao Bin also officially took up the post of third division soon after.

He can't do it if he doesn't take office, and the third division is a complete mess now.

Last year's war was too costly, and the treasury was seriously empty, and if it hadn't just copied Cai Jing's house, he wouldn't even be able to get the money for the funeral for the old emperor.

According to the rules, the imperial court will also give amnesty to the world, reward hundreds of officials, and improve the imperial tomb.

In addition, the officials in the capital are still in arrears for five months, and now it is the New Year's Day, and everyone is waiting for their wages.

The old emperor kicked his legs and left, and life had to go on.

Cao Bin found that he was completely cheated by the old emperor, where is this entrusted with a heavy responsibility? It's clearly a hot potato handed over to yourself.

Since the early spring of last year, the Great Song Dynasty has not rested for a year, and has fought against Western Xia and Northern Liao one after another, how huge the cost is?

I don't know how Cai Jing persevered in the past two years, and he didn't completely collapse his finances in the successive wars...... It's pretty awesome to think about.

However, for the sake of stability, after the fall of Cai Jing, the imperial court was not massively cleaned up of his team in the Third Division.

If Cao Bin wants to be in charge of the three divisions and not be deceived by these people, he must have his own descendants.

But as far as he knows, there are some people who have taken refuge in Pan Renmei.

As the maternal ancestor of the little emperor and the father of the Empress Dowager Pan, Pan Renmei's power is still very bluffing.

Within a few days, Zhang Dian returned to Bianjing.

Cao Bin didn't even give him time to rest, and directly took him to the Third Division.

In addition to him, Cao Bin also found dozens of accounting masters.

"Colleagues, I have recommended Zhang Zihouquan to know the errands of the various ministries and be responsible for supervising and cleaning up the account rosters of the three departments."

"In the next three months, I hope you will have a good ...... and a good child."

After calling the directors of the three divisions, Cao Bin directly introduced them to them.

When the principals heard Cao Bin's words, they looked at each other for a long time, and the judge of the Du Branch Division said cautiously:

"Master Hou, my third division has its own officials to supervise the accounts, is it a bit illegal to recruit all the curtains from the outside?"

They already knew that Cao Bin recommended the governor of Gouyuan to the Political Affairs Hall, but they didn't expect him to directly withdraw his salary from the bottom of the kettle and replace all the accounting personnel.

Cao Bin glanced at him and said arrogantly:

"The rules of this are the rules, do you have an opinion?"

When the head of the household department heard this, he hurriedly said:

"The lower officials approve of Cao Houye's approach, which can effectively eliminate the influence of some of the three divisions......"

This person is a protégé of Master Pang, and he has already visited Cao Bin alone.

At this time, Wang Fu, the deputy envoy of the Duzhi, coughed and interrupted:

"Judge Du, it's not a big deal to recruit another accountant, just listen to Cao Houye's orders."

Hearing that he was also in favor, no one came out to oppose it.

Cao Bin glanced at Wang Fu, nodded and said:

"Since no one has any other intentions, let's do so."

As he spoke, he smiled at Zhang Dun and said:

"Zihou, it's up to you next."

He already knew that Wang Fu had voted for Pan Renmei, but as long as he didn't go against him, Cao Bin wouldn't do anything to him?

After all, such a huge department as the Third Division, you have me, I have you, and it is not easy to clean up.

Moreover, he does not have the right to directly appoint and dismiss a deputy envoy who is in charge of the first division.

The purpose of Cao Bin's audit is just to grasp the specific situation of the three divisions as soon as possible, show his authority, and then take the opportunity to gather a group of henchmen.

At this stage, he doesn't want to have a conflict with Pan Renmei.

Five days later, Cao Bin cried and mourned in the old emperor's mourning hall, and just returned to the third division, he saw Zhang Dun hurrying over with a few account books.

"Zihou has found a problem?"

Zhang Dian nodded and said:

"Master Hou, I found some problems, but more importantly, I was greatly hindered."

Cao Bin handed Zhang Dan a cup of hot tea, leaned over the chair and said with a smile:

"Zihou doesn't need to worry, it's only been five days."

Zhang Dian said solemnly:

"Hou Ye should not be underestimated, these people take care of each other, and they are widely distributed in the three divisions, and I found that they have a very tacit understanding and deep connection."

Cao Bin nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Okay, I'll get someone to ask."

After a while, the head of the household department arrived.

Hearing Zhang Dan's doubts, he said in a deep voice:

"Master Hou, if it's so difficult to check, it should be Wang Fu's shot!"

"Maybe Zhang Zhiyuan found some flaws in him."

It's only been five days, and I've found a flaw, it seems that this guy has a big problem, but he can hinder Zhang Duan from all sides, and the power is not small.

Cao Bin asked casually:

"What's going on with him? Why is it so awesome? ”

The head of the Household Department was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Cao Bin's way of speaking, and explained:

"Wang Fu turned out to be Cai Jing's confidant."

"After Cai Jing's downfall, most of the original Sansi people gathered under him, and I don't know how much power he has."

Seeing that Cao Bin was thoughtful, the head of the Household Department continued:

"Master Hou, Wang Fu's influence in the Third Division is not small."

"If you are not absolutely sure, don't easily tear your face with him."

"You are now in charge of the Third Division, and you will be able to slowly suppress him in the future."

Although the deputy envoy of the degree branch has a deputy character, he is the main position of the degree branch department, and the official position is second only to Cao Bin, and he is also an important minister of the imperial court.

If you want to find him, you must consult with the court and obtain the consent of the emperor or the government office.

If Pan Renmei supports him, it will not be easy for Cao Bin to deal with it.

Zhang Dian did not expect that as soon as he took office, he would encounter such difficulties.

Therefore, he also persuaded:

"Master Hou, I don't think I can be anxious, it's better to take my time."

Cao Bin groaned for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Ben Hou didn't have time to play slowly with him, and the three divisions didn't allow such a awesome existence."

"Gotta find a way to kick him out......"

The plan can't catch up with the changes, since Wang Fu's power in the third division is so great, he can't turn a blind eye.

As he spoke, Cao Bin called the entourage and commanded:

"Go and call the deputy envoy of Duzhi, and say that I am looking for him for something."

The head of the Household Department was a little helpless when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped:

"How can Master Hou be impatient? In officialdom, it is most taboo to rush for quick success. ”

Cao Bin laughed:

"Don't worry, even that Cai Jingjing is here to move down, not to mention that he is a small deputy envoy of the degree?"

"This is the last chance for him, if he doesn't leave himself, he won't be able to leave if he wants to."

When Wang Fu walked in confused, Cao Bin got straight to the point:

"Deputy Envoy Wang, I won't care about you about your previous affairs."

"How about recommending you to the Privy Council now? That should be exactly what you want, right? ”

Cao Bin said that he recommended him to the Privy Council, but in fact, he asked him to ask for a transfer, otherwise the court would not agree so easily.

Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Cao Bin and said:

"What do you mean? The subordinate admits that he has never been at fault, why should he do this? ”
