Chapter 6 Playing against the first genius in Jiangnan
Shui Yue took Mu Bai to a side hall in the apse of Weiyang Palace.
Mu Bai glanced at it, and there was a scarlet official uniform stacked on the table, which was the fifth grade.
Shui Yue's cold pool-like eyes looked at Mu Bai:
"San Lang, the current disaster is serious, and Lord Li has an accident again. Your Majesty means that you are temporarily serving in the Ministry of Households, and if you are vacant, you will be sentenced to the Ministry of Household Affairs of Shangshu Province. ”
Mu Bai didn't expect to become an official in the Great Liang Dynasty so soon.
However, the current situation of the empress really needs a helper.
Shui Yue gave him a brief description of the situation in the household:
"The household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the imperial court. In the past, it was Wei Qian's henchmen who controlled it, and His Majesty later installed Master Li in the past, wanting to take the opportunity to beat Wei Qian. ”
"But when the disaster broke out this time, His Majesty also realized that the water in the Hubu pool was too deep and muddy, and Lord Li couldn't stir it alone at all."
Mu Bai didn't say anything, he ate the Heart Erosion Pill, and he didn't know how many days he had to live, so he could only cross the river by feeling the stones, and take one step at a time.
Mu Bai said with a smile while wearing his official uniform:
"As soon as it comes up, it is the fifth product, this is sitting on the cloud piercing arrow!"
You must know that there are thousands of people in the world, and after studying hard for ten years, after high school, you can only be a candidate below the sixth grade.
If you don't have connections or financial resources, you will be a candidate for the rest of your life.
But who made Mu Bai's connections His Majesty today!
He should be the life of a career.
Shui Yue, this girl, is not a big person, but her tone is not small:
"The little five-grade sesame official, in this Gyeonggi heavyland, a brick can kill a large piece of the stone, are you still happy? If it weren't for the worry that someone would say irresponsible things, His Majesty would like to let you be directly ranked as the third duke. ”
"Spare me, I want to live a few more days." Mu Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly, the three princes in the middle of the court, but they are all big people in the center of the whirlpool of power!
Mu Bai suddenly thought of one thing, he had to prepare early, so he asked Shui Yue to do it.
"Miss Shuiyue, I'm bothering you to find someone to go to the Imperial Garden to catch a hundred grasshoppers."
"Grasshoppers? Locust? What are you doing? ”
Shui Yue stared at him as if he had seen a ghost, and now the people of the Great Liang Kingdom are afraid when they mention locusts, this thing, evil nature!
Mu Bai sold a pass: "Listen to me, whether you can save Lord Li or not, it all depends on these grasshoppers." ”
Can grasshoppers still save people?
Shui Yue will be suspicious, but since it was Mu Bai's confession, it should not be wrong.
"Then you go in first, I'll find someone to arrest you."
"I'm tired!"
After putting on the official uniform, Mu Bai tiptoed to the political hall of Weiyang Palace, and the scene was extremely shocking.
The ministers of civil and military affairs are separated, and the open space in the middle is much larger than the low-cost scenes of the shabby crew on TV, and it is more than enough to play a 5V5 basketball game.
Mu Bai quickly stood on Wenchen's side, and the atmosphere in the hall was stale, and no one cared about him.
Mu Bai looked up at the Spirit Flame Ji who was sitting in the position of the Ninety-Five, and was shocked.
It was very different from the simple appearance she saw in Kunning Palace last time, and the gold ornaments and jewels on her head had completely covered her hair, revealing a face that had fallen on everyone.
It just so happened that Lingyan Ji's gaze also looked at Mu Bai, and her heart was a little more steady.
She didn't expect that she would have a sense of security because of the arrival of a little handsome man.
I can't help but sigh in my heart: I, when did I become worldly!
Headed by the generals, it is Tong Dingzhuo, the "one word shoulder to shoulder king".
Headed by Wenchen was Wei Qian, the Duke of the Auxiliary State.
Both are the third public.
The other is Tan Guowei, the Marquis of Huaiyang, known as the "weather vane of the court", as long as there is a major event in the court, his body and bones will be sick on time.
"Marquis Tan is sick again today?"
"Hey, routine operation, a few days ago, His Majesty issued an edict to set the capital of Changling, looking at the posture of Marquis Wei, if he doesn't kill Li Si, he won't give up."
It was the two adults in front of Mu Bai who spoke.
It seems that among the hundreds of officials, there are many people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement!
With Mu Bai coming to help, the empress also took a reassuring pill, and then said loudly:
"Cao Qing, you go on."
The empress's majestic voice echoed above the vast hall.
At this time, in the middle of the main hall, a middle-aged man in a purple official uniform held a morning wart.
Zuodu Yushi, Cao Jianren, Zheng Sanpin.
Seeing him bow down and say:
"Your Majesty, Li Si, the head of the household department, had a violent conflict with local officials and wealthy businessmen during the Qingzhou disaster relief period, and killed many people.
These people have not yet been tried by the three divisions and verified by the criminal department. Before he was convicted, Li Si dared to kill without authorization, and it was the court officials who killed him.
As a result, no one in Qingzhou officialdom dared to contribute to the disaster.
Li Si's ruthless methods are the main culprit for the worsening of the locust plague in Qingzhou. The minister is willing to ask Your Majesty to punish Li Si again. ”
Tut-tut!
Mu Bai shook his head when he heard this, Yushi spoke with this virtue, spit out the sword, and begged for his life every word.
No wonder all the officials are afraid of being impeached by the imperial history, and the timid ones will really be frightened by him.
Spirit Flame Ji frowned.
Li Si's difficulties have been mentioned many times in the secret fold. This year's locust plague is really severe, and thousands of miles of fertile fields have been devoured.
In addition, the greed for ink is serious, and it is good that thirty percent of the money and grain allocated by the imperial court can reach the victims.
Not killing is not enough to vent the anger of the people.
The empress must be a calf protector, and said loudly:
"Qingzhou officialdom is greedy, officials and businessmen collude, and the people are prey. It was I who allowed Li Si to use extraordinary means during the extraordinary period. ”
The empress's attitude is very clear, I will tell him what to do; Man, I allowed him to kill.
Although Cao Jianren is a poisonous tongue, he has no brains.
He didn't dare to ram the empress.
At this time, seeing that he stopped talking, Tong Dingzhuo, the head of the generals, walked over, domineering and leaking, wearing armor like a murderous Moro.
He poured his long thick eyebrows, only looked at Cao Jianren twice, and sneered:
"Lord Cao, it's been a toss all morning, ...... What kind of enmity does this Li Si have with you? Killed your whole family? Yes? You're not happy if you don't kill him, are you? ”
That's what Tong Dingzhuo said...... Elegance.
Cao Jianren was so stunned by Tong Dingzhuo that he couldn't raise his head, he didn't dare to answer, and his whole body trembled.
He's just a dog in the lead, and barking fiercely is also the owner's intention!
Subsequently, in the Wenchen camp opposite Tong Dingzhuo, an old man with a deep sense of the city, said with a smile:
"What is the prince talking about, Lord Cao is the imperial history of the left capital, and it is his duty to supervise hundreds of officials. Especially when the disaster is monstrous, he can't indulge some lawless people to do wrong. ”
When Tong Dingzhuo heard this, he squinted his eyes and swept over, and then giggled:
"Marquis Wei, I know you're in a bad mood these days, but you shouldn't be angry with Li Si! Bolt your dog and don't let it out to bite and bite it. ”
Wei Qian's eyes were ruthless: "Lord Wang, pay attention to the wording, Lord Cao is not anyone's dog, he is an official of the imperial court." ”
Tong Dingzhuo glared at the bull's eye: "I'll scold him for being a dog, what can he do with me?" Do you dare to join me? Try it with me! ”
Tong Dingzhuo looks like Lao Tzu is a scoundrel, can you manage it?
Wei Qian is very powerful in playing with power, but he is really not Tong Dingzhuo's opponent.
I had to shut up for the time being.
At this time, Cao Jianren was thinking in his heart, the two great gods are fighting, there is really no need to use me as cannon fodder!
Seeing that the situation had gradually come back, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
"Okay, don't quarrel, Li Si's matter, let's talk about it when he returns to Beijing. The disaster in Qingzhou is flooding, and the top priority is to come up with a strategy to deal with the locusts. Do you have a good plan? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered.
Who can fight the locusts in the sky!
The thing was chirping and gnawing everywhere, and as long as it could be eaten, it was swept away.
Officials are helpless.
They are experts in intrigue, but they are good at dealing with disasters.
At this time, one of the hundred officials came out of the crowd and immediately attracted all the attention.
"Your Majesty, Lu Yuanchi, the servant of the Ministry of Households, has a plan to exterminate the locusts."
Those who dare to boast of this kind of Haikou will be scolded to death in their hearts long ago if they were someone else.
Mu Bai also looked at it, this person was very graceful, and his demeanor was also very elegant, giving people a different feeling.
"Wow! Lu Caizi is about to make a move. ”
"Hehe, the number one talent in Jiangnan, it's not a fiction."
"It's time for the locust plague to end."
The officials around Mu Bai, whispering one by one, all praised this Lu Yuanchi.
However, there was no joy in the empress's eyes.
Because Lu Yuanchi is not an outsider, he is Wei Qian's son-in-law!
The empress looked at Mu Bai with some disappointment.
Originally, this great opportunity was reserved for him to perform.
This little handsome man, why don't you know how to cherish it!
