...
The eyes of the Minister of Civil Affairs gradually became gloomy. He looked at Zhao Wujiang on the side, and murderous intent gradually arose in his heart.
But now that the emperor's decree has been issued, he knows that it is impossible for him to win the position of chief officer.
If Zhang Tuizhi cares so much, there is a high probability that Chen Anbang's mansion may have evidence that is enough to destroy him. Now I can't compete for the position of the official responsible for the seizure, but I can get what I want through Zhao Wujiang... Official The Minister's mind was surging. He suppressed the murderous intention in his heart towards Zhao Wujiang, clasped his fist towards Zhao Wujiang and said:
"My official words have offended many people. I hope Mr. Zhao will not bear them in mind."
All the officials around him were stunned when they heard this. When did the Minister of Civil Affairs become so easy to talk to?
Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers and said with a smile:
"I also hope that Lin Shangshu will not bear this in mind. Just now I was impulsive and said some things that I didn't mean..."
Many officials reacted and spoke out to smooth things over.
"Two adults are tolerant and humble, and they are worth learning from us..."
"This thief, Chen Anbang, has committed a heinous crime. The two adults just spoke so frankly because they wanted to punish this thief as soon as possible and ransack his house to show the public that they are righteous."
"It makes sense..."
"To seek the benefit of the country and drive out evil spirits, our hearts are hot and eager. Although our words may conflict, our hearts are good!"
"..."
Zhao Wujiang took over the imperial edict from the eunuch in front of the palace, and the originally shocked comments around him gradually turned into compliments and flattery.
"Zhao is extremely popular and has a strong sense of integrity. It is perfect to serve as the chief officer!"
"That's natural. If the emperor can choose Mr. Zhao, it must be because Mr. Zhao is outstanding..."
"Searching Chen Anbang's mansion is also a way to eliminate evil spirits. Mr. Zhao has contributed a lot to it. He will surely prosper in the future."
"..."
The ministers were talking a lot, and the eunuch in front of the palace waved his whip again, passing the order of the empress to disperse the morning court.
After receiving the order, many officials rushed out of the palace, and many came to congratulate Zhao Wujiang, hoping to become familiar with him in front of him.
Zhang Tuizhi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, also came over and wanted to have a detailed discussion with Zhao Wujiang. In his opinion, there was nothing in this world that could not be traded. He would definitely be able to give Zhao Wujiang the conditions that Zhao Wujiang was interested in, and come to exchange for Zhao Wujiang's house. The secret of existence.
Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, turned into a smiling tiger and kept chatting with Zhao Wujiang, giving no chance to Zhang Tuizhi.
Just like that, Zhao Wujiang walked out of the hall surrounded by a bunch of people.
The palace road was long, and several people stopped and walked.
Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, promised Zhao Wujiang that if any evidence of other officials' violations of the law was found in the Minister of War's mansion, they could be exchanged with him, Lin Ruhai.
He, Lin Ruhai, could make Zhao Wujiang climb several steps up the ranks of the sixth-rank secretary-general and sit in the position of a high official in the court.
At the same time, he also deliberately warned Zhao Wujiang that with Zhao Wujiang's current status, many secrets could not be swallowed, but he, Lin Ruhai, was not afraid. He, Lin Ruhai, could digest these secrets and give Zhao Wujiang safe, gentle and stable benefits.
Lin Ruhai's win-win statement definitely moved Zhao Wujiang. Although he knew that Lin Ruhai was not a good official, there was no problem with Lin Ruhai's warning.
Even if Zhao Wujiang discovers some great secret, he can't reveal it by himself for the time being. That would directly expose him to the light of day and become a thorn in the side of the forces behind the undercurrents in the DPRK. And he can accomplish some things through Lin Ruhai. Things that are inconvenient to accomplish.
Lin Ruhai was like Liu Zhe, a veteran of the three dynasties. More importantly, Lin Ruhai was like a big tree among hundreds of officials, involved in the promotion and transfer of officials, and the root system in the court extended all the way down, which was extremely intricate, dense and strong.
In today's Daxia Court, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Ruhai is one of the few beings like Liu Zhe and Dugu Yihe who can single-handedly fight against many surging undercurrents.
It's just that he is too keen on power and does not have the freedom of Taoism like Liu Zhe and Dugu Yihe.
