Hubu Shangshu Wei Yuanzhi is the person who holds up the cards in the outer court, as long as the people who mix in the officialdom of Zhongjing City, no one will not know.

Jiang'anhou Mansion is the core of Concubine De's mother in the outer court, and it is almost a well-known thing.

But the carriage with the mark of the Marquis of Jiang'an's Mansion came to the yamen of the household department, but it was shouted by the soldiers guarding the door.

There is something intriguing about this.

Xia Jingyun's face was cold, and he was about to have a seizure, when a small official hurriedly ran out of it and scolded sharply: "You don't have long eyes!" This is a guest of Lord Shangshu! Get out of the way! ”

A hint of anger flashed in the doorman's eyes, but he hesitated for a moment and obediently stepped aside.

This scene was also seen by Xia Jingyun and thoughtful.

A smile changed to a smile on the face of the little official, and he bowed his waist, "Dare to ask, but in front of Mr. Xia?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "I took the liberty of visiting and caused trouble to Lord Wei and Your Excellency." ”

"Xia Gongzi is serious, Master Wei is already waiting inside. Please come with me. ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, and walked into the household yamen with Bai Yunbian.

Under the eaves in the yamen, Wei Yuanzhi stood with a smile, saw Xia Jingyun, and smiled, "Gaoyang, farewell to Surabaya Prefecture, your demeanor is even more than in the past!" ”

Xia Jingyun saluted with a smile and said, "Wei Da is a talented person, which makes the younger generations admire!" ”

"Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite!"

Wei Yuanzhi grabbed his arm, "Let's go, go into the house to drink tea and talk!" ”

When he arrived at the room in the back hall and sat down, Xia Jingyun introduced Baiyunbian to Wei Yuanzhi again.

Wei Yuanzhi smiled, "Although the old man has never worked with Ling Zun, Ling Zun's name is already like thunder!" ”

Bai Yunbian was stunned and could hear that this was polite, and said with a smile: "The younger generation has also admired the name of Lord Wei for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Wei Yuanzhi didn't say more, but looked at Xia Jingyun and said with a smile: "As soon as Gao Yang came to Zhongjing, he did a great thing!" ”

"It's just a trivial matter, but I didn't expect it to reach the ears of adults, and I'm ashamed."

"Huh! This is no small matter. ”

Wei Yuanzhi waved his hand, "In Zhongjing City, how many people can pull teeth from the mouth of the Lu family, your hand, it can be said that the whole dynasty is shocked!" ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun and said meaningfully: "This hand is also a help to us, at least let people know that we are not powerless in front of the Lu family, maybe there are people with lofty ideals who are willing to vote!" ”

What Wei Yuanzhi said, of course, was also in Xia Jingyun's plan, he smiled, "I just came out of the palace and talked to my sister about something. It's been a few days since you've been in office, right? Is it still going well? ”

Wei Yuanzhi subconsciously wanted to report good news and not bad news, but immediately remembered what happened just now, and he should give an explanation.

And the person in front of him is Concubine De's brother-in-law, and now it is obvious that he will take over the power of Concubine De's outer court, coupled with what Xia Jingyun did yesterday, he also had no idea of hiding, waved his hand, and asked the servants and guards on the side to retreat, and then sighed in a low voice.

"Gao Yang, in front of you, the old man has nothing to hide, you have just seen some situations, and the current situation is not good."

Xia Jingyun's expression was serious, "I would like to hear the details." ”

"Today's household department, although I, the Shangshu, am the absolute chief official, but in the entire household department, there are three forces."

"Jin Youwen, the left attendant of the household department, is a person of Qin Xiang, who was originally very hopeful of taking over the position of Shangshu, but was intercepted by me halfway, whether from the faction or from the personal emotion, he is naturally full of resistance to me, and it is extremely difficult to cooperate."

"Guan Hexiang, the right servant of the household department, is the former descendant of the Su family, and he is also an old man of the household department, this person is transcendent, he can't talk about how much resistance he has to me, but it is impossible to help me deal with Jin Shilang."

"Therefore, this household is now working on these three parties, and it will take time for me to clarify the key points."

"But don't worry, the old man still has this ability, it's just a little more time."

Xia Jingyun snorted, of course he didn't question Wei Yuanzhi's ability, but he was puzzled: "People from the Su family? Doesn't it mean that because of the feud between Qin Xiang and Su Lao Xianggong, the Su family's power above the court has been greatly reduced? ”

"It's true that there has been a big drop in power. But it didn't fall completely. ”

Wei Yuanzhi said: "Old Prime Minister Su originally sued for peace with death, although it seems desolate and miserable, but it can be regarded as the army of Qin Xiang, Old Prime Minister Su has put his posture so low, if he is still chasing after some old things at the beginning, he wants to liquidate all the forces of the Su family, who will not die in the government and the opposition, can he guarantee that he will sit in that position for a lifetime?" Even so, after he dies, will others not liquidate him? Therefore, the death of Su Lao Xianggong preserved the remaining strength of the Su family at that time, and Qin Xiang almost did not dare to target it from the surface, and people like Guan Shilang settled down from then on. Although he can't make steady progress, at least he can live safely. ”

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I have to say that Old Prime Minister Su is worthy of being called the prime minister candidate who can compete for the top three in the three hundred years of Great Xia." ”

If you knew that he was still alive, I am afraid that you would have to boast to the heavens.

Xia Jingyun muttered in his heart, pretending to nod his head abruptly: "I see." ”

Immediately, he smiled, "It's all here today, why don't you invite the two adults to meet each other?" ”

Wei Yuanzhi was silent for a moment, and his smile was meaningful, "The old man knows that you young people have high spirits and you have great skills, but these things cannot be solved in a few words." ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head and said mysteriously: "It's nothing to see each other, maybe I'm a bystander, and I can figure out something when I see each other, and then provide some ideas for adults!" ”

"Okay!" Wei Yuanzhi didn't say much, and called a subordinate to ask him to invite two waiters.

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "After a while, they will inevitably be contemptuous in their words and gestures, so you don't have to be arrogant." ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, turned his head to look at the white clouds beside him, "Did Bai Gongzi hear it?" Master Wei ordered you! ”

Baiyunbian:

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Don't worry, I'm good-tempered!" ”

But unexpectedly, Xia Jingyun was not angry, but Wei Yuanzhi, who reminded Xia Jingyun, was the first to get angry.

Because, the subordinate came back and said that both squires had rejected his call.

Guan Shilang is okay, he has some excuses and euphemisms, but the Jin Shilang under Qin Xiang's hand is much more direct, just two words: no time.

In front of Xia Jingyun and the two juniors of Baiyunbian, Wei Yuanzhi couldn't help but blush, and got up angrily to ask for an explanation.

Xia Jingyun hurriedly grabbed it, and comforted him for a while.

The two foxes, one big and one small, acted out a play with each other's hearts, and only Bai Yunbian believed it was true and looked nervous on the side.

"Gao Yang, you have also seen it, this is the situation of the old man in the household department at the moment."

Wei Yuanzhi sighed and said slowly: "Niangniang is not obvious in the foreign court now, if she can completely control the household department, whether it is the collection of money and grain or the transfer of taxes, there are fair and righteous interests that can be occupied, and at the same time, it can also reverse the situation of rampant corruption in the household department, which can be regarded as doing her best for the country, being loyal to Your Majesty, and showing the virtue of Niangniang." You can rest assured, Niangniang is so loving, the old man will do his best to open up the situation as soon as possible to help Niangniang! ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Lord Wei has been in the sea for a long time, this little thing is naturally easy to catch, and my sister and juniors trust you very much." ”

He leaned slightly to Wei Yuanzhi, "If, I mean, if that Guan Shilang can work together with you, how long will it take for you to completely master the household department?" ”

Wei Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and stroked his beard confidently, "If he falls to us, then Jin Youwen can still jump, it means that the old man is really incompetent!" If it can be done, within half a month, the old man will be able to hold this household firmly! ”

"That's fine!" Xia Jingyun stood up, "You listen to the letter tomorrow!" ”

Wei Yuanzhi was stunned, "Tomorrow? ”

Xia Jingyun hesitated, a little embarrassed, "If you are really in a hurry, it is not impossible today." ”

Wei Yuanzhi:
