Xiao Guogong only squinted, what does the emperor mean by this? Do you want to agree to King Hao's proposal and promote the Tobe Squire? Oh, that household servant doesn't necessarily have shallow eyelids.

"Your Majesty, the person recommended by the minister this time is well-known in his hometown, and he can be described as a rich party. It's definitely not an eye-catcher. ”

The Emperor seemed interested.

"Oh? In this way, the Hubu Shangshu recommended by Guogong this time took a fancy to his ability to do business and manage money? ”

"Exactly, the emperor, the household servant recommended by King Hao is also a member of the imperial examination, the family was originally poor, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be tempted by wealth, and the minister has learned a lesson this time and selected the most suitable candidate for the household book."

Xiao Guogong glanced at King Hao, he, Xiao Guogong, has cooperated with the emperor to manage the six departments for so many years, on the side of the couch, how can he allow others to snore?

If he leaves it alone at this time, it is strange if he doesn't make a mess between the six ministries, and even the emperor doesn't dare to interfere in the six ministries at will, what can King Hao do?

The Emperor nodded, thoughtful.

"I think what the prince said is very true."

"Brother Huang!"

King Hao was a little anxious, the imperial brother came to him and fought against Xiao Guogong, wasn't it to contain Xiao Guogong? How did it come to the end that the royal brother himself softened first?

"The emperor is wise!" Xiao Guogong had already proudly complimented the emperor. The household department has been solved, but is it still difficult for the military department?

The emperor looked at the reaction of the two, but he was not in a hurry.

"The household department should indeed be handed over to someone with business and financial acumen, and in this regard, I and Guogong have the same opinion."

King Hao was annoyed, thinking that he was really stupid, thinking that the imperial brother had changed this time and saw the true face of the Xiao family clearly, so he would sincerely invite him to the court council.

In the end, he still stood on the side of the Xiao family.

I didn't know that the emperor's words changed.

"Speaking of the ability to do business and manage money, it reminds me of a person."

"Who?"

Now, King Hao and Xiao Guogong can't guess the emperor's thoughts, is it difficult for the emperor to be successful, the proposals of both parties are not approved, and there are other candidates?

"I remember that during the drought in Licheng and when the prince organized donations, I wrote a plaque to the firm with the largest donations."

As soon as the emperor said this, King Hao was very surprised, his eyes rolled, oops, he was narrow-minded.

Why didn't he think of it, since Xiao Guogong could recommend a businessman who had never participated in the scientific examination, why couldn't he?

Xiao Guogong furrowed his brows again, he naturally remembered the kid of the Chu family who only donated one or two more silver than him, and pressed him on the merit tablet.

"Brother Huang, it's a first-class firm!"

Hao Wang immediately reminded him.

"Yes, Yipin Firm, I still remember, the head of this Grade Firm, is the youngest son of the Chu family, what's his name?"

"Chu Wenjin!"

King Hao held back his laughter, he was about to hold back his internal injuries, with the memory of the imperial brother, how could he not remember Chu Wenjin? However, he was happy to accompany the royal brother and act in this play.

"No!"

Xiao Guogong immediately spoke out to stop him.

"Your Majesty, the Chu family is a relative! General Chu already has a heavy army, and his second son, Chu Wenhong, is also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and leads the entire Hanlin Academy.

If you let the third son, Chu Wenjin, skip the level and do the household book, the people of the world will not accept it and say otherwise. Doesn't the Chu family want to be the only one and control the court? ”

King Hao was really amused this time, if he wants to talk about his relatives, if he wants to say that he controls the court, if he Xiao Guogong is called second, who still dares to call him first?

"Xiao Guogong, don't forget, you are also a relative! You also hold a lot of power, and there is another prince who has half of the bloodline of your Xiao family, according to what you say, if you recommend your Xiao family's side branch, wouldn't it be even more of a monopoly and control the court? ”

Xiao Guogong was stunned, Xiao Guifei was dead, but he forgot that he was once a relative and a relative of the throne, so he had today's glory. But how could he admit it.

"King Hao said cautiously, the old man has worked hard all his life, all for the sake of Yunxiao Country, which can prosper forever."

The emperor played with the walnuts in his hand, getting harder and harder, and the two walnuts creaked because of the friction.

For the eternal prosperity of the Sky Country, hum, this old thing can say it.

colluded with foreign enemies and forced him, the emperor and the future prince, all for the eternal prosperity of his Xiao family.

"Your Majesty, in terms of financial resources, the people recommended by the ministers are by no means under Chu Wenjin."

Didn't the emperor choose the Hubu Shangshu according to this criterion? Then he crushed Chu Wenjin in this regard, he has been in business for more than 20 years, can he compare to a fledgling Chu Wenjin?

"Then did he donate money to Li Cheng?" The emperor does not play his cards according to common sense.

"He was not in the capital, naturally, and did not participate in the fundraising."

Xiao Guogong suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, could it be that the emperor had already made up his mind and just waited for him to take the bait?

"As far as I know, there are also some businessmen from all over the country who send grain and goods to Licheng. It's all about benevolence. Profit-seeking, harmony, and attainment are both beneficial to the world, and naturally not at the same level. ”

King Hao hugged his fists and saluted the emperor:

"What the imperial brother said is really a wise saying, the younger brother heard about Chu Wenjin, often gave alms, and also provided quilts to those homeless people a few days ago. Let them be able to wait until the weather warms up and wait for the imperial court to help.

This kind of love for the people is exactly what all officials of our DPRK should learn from. ”

Xiao Guogong despised those who were pretending the most, and it was a waste of life to show kindness to a group of ants.

"Hmph, King Hao and the Chu family are now in-laws, so they naturally help the Chu family speak, so how old is Chu Wenjin? As far as the old man knows, he is only seventeen years old, how can he take on this important responsibility and manage the household department? ”

"Xiao Guogong, don't forget, the imperial brother and the Chu family are also in-laws, Xiao Guogong, are you talking about the imperial brother using power for personal gain?"

Xiao Guogong clenched his fists, yes, how could this Chu family become the emperor's in-laws and King Hao's in-laws under his nose?

In the past, he was too light on the enemy, and he didn't take a martial artist in his eyes. Who would have thought that the children born by a martial artist would be like a fine one.

Thinking about his children of Xiao Guogong again, he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

But if he also has a few children who are so competitive, he needs to do everything himself?

But no matter how unwilling he is, he can't be charged with slandering the emperor by King Hao.

"The emperor is clear, the minister doesn't mean this, the minister is just for the sake of the household."

"Guogong is right, Chu Wenjin is indeed too young and lacks experience."

Before Xiao Guogong could be happy, the emperor came to a conclusion:

"In this way, let the household servant first be promoted to the household secretary, and Chu Wenjin will be appointed as the household secretary and assist the household secretary director."

"The emperor is wise! The younger brother of Chu Wenjin, Xie Zhu Longen. ”

King Hao immediately received the decree of thanksgiving.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiao Guogong has to say again, the emperor has already waved his hand.

"Ahem, I'm tired, you, if you still want me to live for a few more years, you will come to bother me a few times, as for the book of the military department, let's discuss it later, I look at the squire of the military department, I can still deal with it for the time being."

After the emperor finished speaking, he had already stretched out his hand towards Gonggong Fu.

"Help me in, I've been in vain these past few days, and I'm going to get some sleep. For the matter of passing the decree to Chu Wenjin, you can arrange it later. ”

"Yes, the emperor is careful."

Duke Fu dutifully carried the emperor into the inner room.

Xiao Guogong was unwilling, and he couldn't break into the emperor's bedroom, so he could only retire with King Hao. There was indeed anger surging in his heart, why didn't he notice it for a while, and fell into the emperor's words!
