Zhao Junchen's question was just to change the subject. (lingdiankanshu)
But he got an answer that stunned him.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's question, Fang Ru did not answer immediately. Instead, she turned her head and nodded to a maid waiting at the side.
The maid left in a hurry and came back quickly. When she came back, she was holding several thick account books in her hands.
Fang Ru took the account book, placed it in front of Zhao Junchen, and explained: "Master, before you leave Beijing, you asked me to help you take care of the affairs of the household department and internal treasury. Originally, I didn't plan to interfere too much. I thought I could do it. That’s all I have in mind, but the Ministry of Revenue and the Internal Treasury are in charge of the world’s money, which is too important, and there are too many people watching. Master, just after you left, there were people who couldn’t wait to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, so I made my own decision. I pretended to convey your order, sir, and simply asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Internal Treasury to send all the matters to our house for decision. These are the money discrepancies between the Ministry of Revenue and the Internal Treasury in the past two months. Sir, can you take a look at them? What’s inappropriate?”
After hearing Fang Ru's words, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned. He took the account book and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help being even more surprised.
The account books are divided into six parts, which are the money in and out of the accounts department, the inner treasury and the Zhao family in the past few days. Three parts are genuine and the other three are fake accounts after balancing the numbers.
After comparing the true and false account books, Zhao Junchen discovered that although Fang Ru was a fake and powerful person, he actually managed the household department and internal treasury in an orderly manner in the past two months. Not only that, in the past two months, Fang Ru had even taken advantage of Various means helped Zhao Junchen embezzle nearly 70,000 taels of silver from the household department and internal treasury. However, if you just look at the account books, you can never find anything wrong.
After reading the account books carefully, Zhao Junchen looked up at Fang Ru and asked, "Did you make all these accounts?"
Fang Ru seemed to have misunderstood Zhao Junchen's meaning. Her face turned slightly pale and her eyes became more nervous. She asked in a low voice: "Master, you won't blame me for taking too much care, right? Originally, I didn't want to take care of that much." , after all, you just asked me to take care of you before you left Beijing, but I didn’t expect that Master, you just left Beijing the day before. The next day, Li Chengru, the Minister of Household Affairs, wanted to return to power, and later, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhou Shangjing, wanted to return to power. Come to Hubu to add sand. If I don’t do something at that time, everything will be difficult to deal with when you come back, sir. That’s why I make my own decisions..."
Halfway through Fang Ru's words, Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that you did better than I thought, which surprised me a little."
Although he did not blame Fang Ru, Zhao Junchen was actually very surprised. He never expected that during the time he left Beijing, Fang Ru was in charge of the household department and the inner treasury on his behalf, and Also well managed.
Seeing that Zhao Junchen had no intention of blaming him, and instead received praise, Fang Ru felt visibly relaxed, and the smile on his face returned to its usual brightness, and she said softly: "Master, just don't blame me."
Zhao Junchen overcame his surprise and asked: "It's a matter of urgency. I won't blame him. However, Li Chengru is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was fine when I was there. He had His Majesty's backing and support." It’s easy for him, but how do you do it?”
Fang Ru smiled and said: "Sir, you have His Majesty's backing, and I also have your backing, master. You also know what kind of person Li Chengru is, master. In the past, when you were in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, you ate meat, and the other doctors, members and outsiders, can also I have a drink of soup, but if Li Chengru is in charge of the household department, he doesn’t want to eat meat, and no one else wants to drink soup. In this case, who is willing to work with him sincerely? So after I saw that he had plans to seize power , I greeted the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and pretended to pass on your order, sir. All matters of the Ministry of Household Affairs, big and small, will be handed over to our house to decide. As for other things, how they were done in the past and how they are still done now, the doctors of the Ministry of Households The Yuanwailang understood this and quickly dismissed Li Chengru again. Although Li Chengru is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he still has to handle affairs through the hands of those doctors, Yuanwailang. It’s better to be an official than to be in charge. "
Fang Ru is very beautiful, but she tends to be voluptuous and charming. However, when she talks about these things, she is full of energy, a little less enchanting, but a little more shrewd and capable.
Zhao Junchen felt more and more that Fang Ru was not simple, and asked: "What about Zhou Shangjing? As the chief minister of the cabinet, he wants to add sand to the household department. Even if I am in charge of the capital, I am afraid it will not be easy to handle, and you are How to deal with it?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the saying, 'It's easy to find a way to blame'? Although Zhou Shangjing is the chief minister of the cabinet, but the household department has been run by the master for many years, how can it be so easy to mix in the sand? Just make a few wrong accounts, and then press Those who were arranged by Zhou Shangjing were the ones who were demoted, and those who were demoted were demoted. Zhou Shangjing didn't know when the master would return to Beijing, and he didn't dare to make any big moves, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb. .”
When she said this, Fang Ru's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she was obviously very interested in these intrigues and intrigues, almost instinctively.
After listening to Fang Ru's explanation, Zhao Junchen was speechless, and finally understood why Xu Qingyan was so wary of Fang Ru.
This woman is not only extreme by nature, she is also shrewd and resourceful. If she is one of her own, everything will be easy, but if she is an enemy, it will be troublesome.
On the other side, Fang Ru continued to explain to Zhao Junchen about the internal transportation warehouse.
I saw Fang Ru biting her silver teeth lightly, her almond-shaped eyes filled with anger, and said quickly: "However, although I can help you take care of the household department, the internal treasury is different. Although you have been in charge of the internal transportation since years ago, However, most of the people handling matters in the inner transport treasury are eunuchs from the palace. It is difficult for me to show my face, and it will be even harder for those eunuchs to be bribed and used. In addition, as soon as you leave the capital, the eunuchs who used to be in charge of the inner treasury can’t wait to If someone jumps out to make trouble, I can't interfere. Although I have tried my best these days, I can only prevent the inner treasury from causing a big mess. However, now the inner treasury is in chaos. Fortunately, the inner treasury and the inner treasury are in chaos. The household department is different. Even if there is chaos for a while, this authority will not fall into the hands of others. Now that you are back, young master, everything will be easier to handle."
Speaking of this, Fang Ru looked up at Zhao Junchen, her fair and charming face full of murderous intent: "However, this time it reminds us that the inner treasury must be rectified, otherwise you will also It is impossible to drive them like an arm, and as for the eunuchs who used to be in charge of the inner transport warehouse, they cannot be retained. Their influence on the inner warehouse is still there, and no one knows what they will do in the future. If there is such a hidden danger, it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible so that you can feel at ease. Master, didn't you say that you want to liaise with the eunuchs inside and form gangs with outsiders? This is an opportunity to use the opportunity of rectification to get rid of a group of old people and strengthen control over the inner treasury. , and at the same time introducing several other eunuch forces to show their favor, it is to kill two birds with one stone."
On the other side, Xu Qingyan snorted, seemingly dissatisfied that Fang Ru was too lenient, but at the same time he had to admit that this was a good idea, a good idea that he could not have thought of himself.
After Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he also secretly applauded Fang Ru's idea. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a servant of the Zhao family hurriedly came to report: "Master, there is an envoy from the palace."
