Tobe
As one of the most powerful people in the imperial court, Zhao Huaili, the Minister of Household Affairs, failed to become the Second Assistant to the Office of Administration. This was a thorn in his heart that could never be removed.
Of course, this is a later story. After all, he was not the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue when the office was first established.
It is said that after the accident of the previous Minister of Hubu, Ning Weimo, the Prime Minister, meant that the Minister of Hubu was so important that it was natural for him to become the second minister, but he was denied by Xin Yanque, the prince of the prison country.
What makes him feel most humiliated is that not only has he not been able to get the position of second assistant, but now he has not even been able to enter the office.
In fact, he knew what this meant.
According to Zhao Huaili and Zhao Nanli's seniority in the family, he is Zhao Nanli's cousin.
After learning that Zhao Nanli was sent out of Geling by the Forbidden Army a few days ago, Zhao Huaili was even more certain of one thing...
If you don't plan for great things, you will lose your life.
The situation had reached such a point that he had no other choice.
Especially, how long has he been in office?
The previous Minister of Household Affairs was tortured to death by the man named Chen Weiwei because he was involved in the case.
When he was just appointed, Zhao Huaili even made an immediate decision to intentionally cut off contact with everyone on Wang Luoshen's side. It cannot be said that he was not decisive.
He also mentioned this matter to his wife, saying that the reason why he had close contacts with Wang Luoshen and others was because his official career was not smooth and it was difficult to realize his ambitions.
Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and with just a word from His Highness the Prince, he can enter the Office of the Minister of Finance and serve as a secondary assistant.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is almost an extremely human minister. Even if he followed Wang Luoshen all the time, and Wang Luoshen succeeded in something big in the end, his status would probably be what it is now.
His wife was also convinced that he was thinking this way, but she was just a little worried.
She felt that someone like Wang Luoshen, who was determined to retaliate, and Zhao Huaili cut off all contact with this matter, would definitely hold a grudge and would not be able to take revenge in the future.
Zhao Huaili said with a smile at that time that if even Wang Luoshen fell, he would not be afraid of revenge.
The lady added that she was only worried that Wang Luoshen would bite him randomly after he fell. They had been getting close to Wang Luoshen over the years, so there was no guarantee that Wang Luoshen wouldn't have any clues.
In fact, this is what Zhao Huaili is most worried about.
Fortunately, there was still one person in the city whom he could place his hope on, and that was General Lin Ye.
Lin Ye did not follow any rules at all, so Zhao Huaili hoped that Lin Ye could directly kill Wang Luoshen and others without having to go to the stage of interrogation.
As long as Wang Luoshen and the others were eradicated quickly enough, he wouldn't have to be implicated.
However, Lin Ye also restrained himself later, which made Zhao Huaili's worries intensify again.
What's more important is that although he was promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs, he was never able to enter the service office. This worried him too much.
Now everyone can see that as long as they enter the office, no matter how big the storm is in Geling City, their status in the court will still be stable in the future.
He couldn't enter the office, which meant that he was not included in the emperor's plan.
He had to think more about what choice he should make.
As long as the emperor wins, entering the service office is a guarantee. Then his future goal is to spare no effort to enter that place. But what if the emperor loses?
At this moment, Wang Luoshen sent someone and only said a few words to him.
The first sentence is... Sir, please have a clear look at the current situation in Geling today, and then make a decision.
The second sentence is, if Lord Shangshu sees it clearly, then go and see the prince before the ugly hour tonight.
These two sentences made Zhao Huaili even more irritable. He counted the time. Although it was almost dark and there was still some time before the ugly hour, there was not much time left for him to make a choice.
Furthermore, Wang Luoshen asked him to look at today's current situation, but he didn't know what he was looking at.
It didn't take long for him to see the results.
He got the news that Prime Minister Ning Weimo and General Gao Qisheng of the Forbidden Army accompanied the queen out of the city.
Moreover, all the forbidden troops were mobilized. Judging from this posture, they probably did not intend to leave any soldiers in Geling City.
At this time, the situation suddenly changed, making Zhao Huali suddenly nervous.
Before he could come up with any countermeasures, Wang Luoshen sent someone again.
This time, I still told him a few words.
The first sentence is that Yu Zhongen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been instructed by his father-in-law to close all city gates except Nanwu Gate before Chou Shi.
The second sentence is, please take care of it, Lord Shangshu.
There is much more in these two sentences.
Zhao Huaili knew that he could not wait any longer, so he made a decision immediately.
He asked the messenger to go back and tell Wang Luoshen that he would order the closure of the treasury before the ugly time.
In addition, all files and files in the household department are sealed and no one is allowed to access them.
He also told the person who came to report that as long as Yu Zhongen succeeded, he would immediately mobilize soldiers from the Ministry of Revenue to assist Wang Luoshen in the incident.
The man just told him in an understatement that there is no shortage of people like you in the household department with the father-in-law.
This sentence alone strengthened Zhao Huaili's determination.
Since he cannot become an important minister of the new dynasty in the future, he can only follow Wang Luoshen to create a new dynasty.
There are only two worries in his mind now. One is Shangyang Palace, whose attitude is unclear.
When the emperor faced crisis, it was the old master of Shangyang Palace who stood by the emperor.
After just one stop, many people who were wavering at the beginning all chose to follow the old leader.
If Shangyang Palace still chooses to side with Xin Yanque this time, it is immeasurable how the situation will reverse.
Xin Yanque said he was missing, but he was definitely in Geling City. He was probably planning something at this time.
Zhao Huaili's second worry was Lin Ye. Although Lin Ye only had a thousand soldiers in his hands, he was always acting strangely. God knew how many tricks he had hidden.
He made people stare at the time. Until this moment, his heart was still a little shaken.
At the same time, people from the Ministry of Industry had already left in batches.
As usual, all city gate agencies in Geling City are inspected monthly by people from the Ministry of Industry.
Yu Zhongen is more determined than Zhao Huaili because he knows some secrets that Zhao Huaili does not know.
The secret is Nian Jingchu.
Nian Jingchu was an unknown person. Originally, he should have made a name for himself in Geling City.
He has extremely high attainments in martial arts and is far superior to ordinary people in thinking.
He is knowledgeable and talented, and he has made good use of his talents. If he had been more lucky, he would have an important position in the court now.
Yu Zhongen and Nian Jingchu were old acquaintances. They grew up together, but because Yu Zhongen's family was better off and Nian Jingchu couldn't afford the filial piety money, he was not even selected as a minor official.
In order to appease his good friend, Yu Zhongen introduced him to Wang Luoshen.
When Wang Luoshen met Nian Jingchu for the first time, he was sure that this person would be of great use in the future.
However, he did not arrange for this person to become an official.
With Wang Luoshen's ability, it would not be a problem for Nian Jingchu to be released as an official with just a casual word.
But this man was too powerful, so Wang Luoshen decided to keep him for his own use.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the previous Minister of Household Affairs, the man who was tortured to death by Chen Weiwei.
This person plays an extremely important role in Wang Luoshen's plan.
What a pity, before it was time to make a big move, he was killed by the barbarian Chen Weiwei.
At that time, Wang Luoshen was really worried. If those secrets were found out by Chen Weiwei, all his plans would suffer a fatal blow, because there were huge secrets hidden in the Ministry of Revenue.
Ever since Nian Jingchu was introduced to Wang Luoshen by Yu Zhongen, Wang Luoshen had started a particularly huge plan.
This plan is similar to the one when the Loufan people infiltrated the army through Dongbo into Guzhu.
Every year, Wang Luoshen arranges for many people to join the Jingzhou household registration, move from other places, and settle in villages outside Geling City.
This matter must be handled by people from the Ministry of Revenue, and it must be concealed.
If the emperor knew that about 20,000 people sneak into Jingzhou from other places every year, he would definitely be wary.
The former Minister of Household Affairs was a crucial move for Wang Luoshen.
Fortunately, Chen Weiwei was a little selfish and knew not to offend Wang Luoshen too much.
So he hastily convicted the people in the household department and then directly exterminated them.
How could Chen Weiwei have imagined that there was such a big secret hidden in the household department.
If he had known, he would have made another choice at that time.
Nowadays, in the counties and counties of Jingzhou, enough people have been quietly moved here by Wang Luoshen. The person who handled this matter for him was Nian Jingchu, who was unsuccessful in officialdom.
The undead army is an army of dead soldiers specially established by Wang Luoshen to guard Nanwu Gate. These five thousand people are pure killing machines.
As long as he can hold on for two hours, Nian Jingchu can lead his team into Geling City.
With the 80,000 forbidden troops gone, and after Nian Jingchu took control of Geling City, the situation would be difficult to change.
Yu Zhongen knew this, but Zhao Huaili did not, so the former was firm and the latter was still a little wavering.
There were problems with many of the files in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but when Chen Weiwei checked them at that time, they were all Jianghu Ke, and he couldn't tell the secrets at all.
Chen Weiwei also wanted to curry favor with Wang Luoshen, so she didn't do her best at all.
Not to mention the counties and counties in Jingzhou, there are also many people who have moved in from Wang Luoshen in Geling City.
But this is the emperor's feet after all, and Wang Luoshen does not dare to be too presumptuous.
If there are too many people, the emperor will be alert.
He was the emperor, a man who used power and tactics to the extreme. How could Wang Luoshen dare to take it lightly?
At this moment, the Wang family mansion.
On the stone tower, Wang Luoshen stood with his hands behind his back.
The streets were brightly lit, and the ranks of the Forbidden Army had not yet completely left the city, but based on the news reported by his men, it was speculated that all the Forbidden Army might leave by this time.
Wang Luoshen knew that Hua Lianhua had gone to the harem, and also knew what Hua Lianhua was planning to do.
As Ning Weimo speculated, employing people is not just about telling people what to do.
Wang Luoshen knows very well how ambitious Hua Lianhua is. If you keep ordering such a person to do things, he will be disgusted and may even backlash.
Since Hua Lianhua thought she was smart enough, and since Queen Zhao thought she could survive in this chaos, Wang Luoshen would naturally take advantage of their thoughts.
Now Hua Lianhua still thinks that he is controlling the situation and that he is causing unprecedented changes in Geling City.
This is good, because only in this way will Hua Lianhua continue to do her best.
As for Queen Zhao...
Wang Luoshen didn't care at all.
Queen Zhao is going to die, Hua Lianhua is going to die, and even Li Ci is going to die.
Relatively speaking, Xu Xinshu, whom he had suspected for a long time, could not die.
When the time comes, announcing Xu Xinshu's royal identity and then allowing his son to marry Xu Xinshu will be of great benefit to the new king's stable status and the court's stabilization of the situation.
"Is Li Ci back?"
Wang Luoshen turned around and asked.
The young man in green clothes leaned over and said, "I'm back. I'm waiting under the stone tower to be summoned by the father-in-law."
Wang Luoshen said: "Tell him there is no need to come up. Now most of the assistant ministers in the office have gone after Ning Weimo. Such an opportunity should not be missed. If he misses it, Li Ci will not have to come back to see me."
The boy in Tsing Yi leaned over: "I'm going to tell Mr. Li right now. He should know how important tonight is to the father-in-law, and also how important tonight is to him."
Wang Luoshen smiled: "It's also very important to you."
