The Office of the Chief Secretary of Peking!
After Zhou Shu returned here, he lost his temper.
The terrifying appearance frightened everyone.
Only Bao Zhao remained calm and watched quietly.
He didn't need to think too much to know that Zhou Shu failed to mobilize the three guards of Yanshan.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"
"They are all traitors and traitors!"
"Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan and these damned men, how dare they resist and disobey the order?"
Zhou Shu couldn't help but cursed loudly.
He has always been pampered, but today he was insulted in public. When had he ever been humiliated like this!
Zhou Shu directly held a grudge against Tan Yuan and Zhu Neng. He could only kill these two men now!
"Da Sikou!"
"How can you still sit still!"
Zhou Shu couldn't help complaining when he saw Baozhao's expressionless face, drinking tea leisurely.
"These rebellious officials and traitors have no respect for the imperial court and are obviously having different intentions!"
"Da Sikou, you are the interviewer in Peking, aren't you going to do something?"
Bao Zhao was indifferent when he heard the words and just spoke coldly.
"do what?"
"What do you think can be done?"
Zhou Shu was stunned when he heard this and immediately became embarrassed.
"Almost all of the Peiping Dusi and even the Peiping Dusi followed Yan King Zhu Di on his expeditions."
"Even if these frontier generals have not colluded with Yan King Zhu Di, they still have a fighting spirit with Zhu Di. Do you think they will take action against Yan King Zhu Di just based on a piece of transfer order in your hand?"
"And the Three Guards of Yanshan are the royal guards given to King Yan Zhu Di by Emperor Taizu Gao. They are responsible for guarding King Yan's Mansion and protecting the safety of King Yan Zhu Di. Over the years, they have become King Yan Zhu Di's private army!"
"You want to transfer the three guards of Yanshan away from Beiping City with just a transfer order. You are underestimating the King of Yan Zhu Di, and you are overestimating yourself!"
Bao Zhao spoke unhurriedly, without leaving any sympathy for Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu opened his mouth to refute, but he hesitated and couldn't speak.
Because he knew that although Bao Zhao's words were unpleasant, they were all true.
He held the imperial edict and couldn't mobilize even three guards from Yanshan, let alone the garrison of the Peking Dusi!
However, this also reminded Zhou Shu of something.
If you want to completely eradicate King Zhu Di of Yan, you must first deal with those border army generals.
For example, the current commander-in-chief of Peking City, Chen Heng, was a famous general who founded the Ming Dynasty. He followed Emperor Taizu Gao to raise troops in Haozhou, where he served as commander of armor and promoted thousands of households. Later, he followed General Xu Da in the Northern Expedition and made many military exploits.
After that, Chen Heng also went to the fortress with Yan King Zhu Di many times to fight. There must be a deep friendship between the two.
Therefore, Chen Heng must be transferred away. None of these border army generals can be left behind and transferred to guard the border outside the Great Wall!
When he thought of this, Zhou Shu immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down the story of Zhu Di's madness and the three guards of Yanshan resisting the imperial decree, preparing a secret report to the new emperor Zhu Yunwen.
Seeing this scene, Bao Zhao felt even more confused.
Where should he go now?
It was a mistake to cut down the vassal vassal, but the new emperor insisted on his own way!
He, the interview envoy in Peking, was also suspended in disguise because he made repeated objections, which completely angered His Majesty the Emperor.
Today's Baozhao is like a rootless duckweed, not knowing where to go!
He was tired of these intrigues, and even more tired of the behavior of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, and even had the idea of becoming an official.
I wonder what that kid Su Yang is busy with now?
When he thought of this, Bao Zhao couldn't help but move his thoughts and walked to Su Yang's courtyard alone.
As for the young follower Ye Xixian, he couldn't bear the violent blow and was going crazy.
It is said that he locked himself in his room and did not eat or drink for several days.
There was nothing Baozhao could do about it. If he wanted to blame him, it was Ye Xixian who didn't know people well and mistook the faint king for the holy king!
Soon Bao Zhao arrived at the door of the small courtyard and knocked gently on the door.
The little girl opened the door and stuck out her little head. When she saw that the person coming was Luo Zhao, her face suddenly lit up with joy.
"Sir is here, please take a seat!"
"Ms. sir, the old gentleman is here, come out quickly!"
Su Yang was drawing drawings and preparing to let the blacksmith build a stove.
The weather is cool after late autumn, and then the temperature drops sharply.
So Su Yang is now preparing supplies for the winter.
After all, my daughter-in-law is weak and the winter will only be more difficult. Su Yang wants her to have a warm winter.
"Old sir, I haven't seen you for a few days."
Su Yang smiled and saluted Bao Zhao.
For a pure and good minister like Bao Zhao, regardless of his official position as Minister of Punishment, Bao Zhao's pure heart of serving the country and the people is worthy of Su Yang's respect and courtesy.
Bao Zhao waved his hand and said with a sincere smile: "I have nothing to do today, so I came here to see you."
"The old gentleman is interested!" Su Yang felt warm in his heart and quickly poured him a cup of tea.
Bao Zhao drank tea while thinking about what to say.
But after thinking about it for a long time, there was no good topic.
Firstly, he didn't want to mention the bad things like King Zhu Di of Yan and the imperial court's reduction of vassals. Secondly, he had no shame to persuade Su Yang to study hard and serve as an official in the court to benefit the country.
Bao Zhao now understood clearly that the Jinling Court was now a place where right and wrong were fought, and it would not be a good thing if Su Yang really went there.
But apart from these, there seemed to be nothing to talk about, and he clearly didn't understand anything else.
While he was thinking about it, Bao Zhao accidentally noticed the little girl doing a question and couldn't help but take a curious look.
"Hey, what kind of text is this?"
"This is the writing invented by my husband. It is very convenient for counting!"
Zhu Wanqiu smiled sweetly, her tone full of pride.
Su Yang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he noticed Bao Zhao's embarrassment and simply brought the topic to calculations.
Under Su Yang's patient explanation, Bao Zhao gradually understood the meaning of each number, and his eyes gradually burst into light.
"Su Yang!"
"This number is really amazing!"
"If the Ministry of Household Affairs uses this calculation method, their efficiency will be greatly improved!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Zhao looked at Su Yang expectantly.
As a high-ranking member of the court, Bao Zhao certainly knew the difficulties faced by the household department.
Especially at the end of each year, other department and temple supervisors start to finish the work and prepare to let themselves go out to have fun, but the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs start to get busy nervously.
Because the Ministry of Household Affairs must calculate the balance for the year and make plans for money and food expenditures in the coming year, which is referred to as the year-end plan.
Therefore, taking advantage of the last few days of the new year, officials from the Ministry of Revenue worked almost all night long to calculate the expenditure and income for this year.
The purpose is to avoid delaying the national economy and people's livelihood after the spring of next year.
However, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money, grain, and taxation. Every transaction must be verified and confirmed before it can be reported to His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, calculation and verification are extremely troublesome, which causes the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to complain endlessly.
If the calculation method invented by Su Yang is extended to the household department, the efficiency of the household department will be greatly improved!
But the question is, will Su Yang agree?
Bao Zhao did not forget that Su Yang was very hostile to the court.
But what he didn't expect was that Su Yang agreed directly.
"Yes, sir!"
"You can use your own name to promote the household removal department."
Su Yang put forward a condition that was not a condition, which greatly comforted Bao Zhao.
But Bao Zhao was still unwilling to give up and couldn't help but speak again.
"Su Yang, you have a great talent. How about I recommend you to be an official in the Household Department?"
The Hubu is different from other temple supervisors in that there are not so many intrigues.
But Su Yang still shook his head decisively and refused.
"Old sir, this kid will never become an official in this life!"
As soon as these words came out, Bao Zhao looked sad and sighed.
