Noon.
Sili Xiaowei Mansion.
"After a long day of work, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Tang Mao left the check-in room and came to the side apartment.
A historian followed beside him and said, "Mr. Tang, the tea has been brewed. Now is the time when the tea tastes best."
Tang Hao looked satisfied and suddenly said: "That's all I have as a hobby, isn't it a waste?"
Zhi Shi immediately said: "There is only a small amount of money in total. If Mr. Tang said that, the villain would not dare to eat."
Tang Mao smiled and nodded. He smelled the light fragrance of tea when he entered the side room. He immediately perked up and said, "Good tea!"
He quickly walked in, cooked tea, poured the tea, and gently fanned the tea into his nose. Tang Hao suddenly showed an intoxicated expression.
Mr. Shi was watching from the side, smiling flatteringly and not daring to disturb him.
After a while, Tang Hao came back to his senses and took a sip. Immediately, his eyebrows relaxed, his body and mind relaxed, and he said: "As expected of tea from the palace, it is indeed a good tea!"
"Beautiful Tang still misses Duke Tang." Zhi Shi quickly followed.
Tang Ji's title is 'Beauty'.
Tang Mao smiled even more. It was all thanks to his daughter that he became the Sili Colonel. At the same time, he was still thinking in his heart, hoping that his daughter could take another step forward, and he would be the next general by then.
Seeing that Tang Mao was happy, the historian rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Tang, my colleagues have settled down recently. I am grateful for Mr. Tang's kindness and would like to hold a banquet to express my gratitude. I wonder if Mr. Tang is free?"
Tang Mao was sipping tea, feeling content and even more proud.
He and Wang Yun broke up on bad terms that day, but Yang Biao was very talkative and gave Wang Yun a slap on the spot.
'Yang Biao is still good. Tang Mao squinted his eyes and thought about it in his mind.
"Tang Gong, Tang Gong..."
Suddenly, there was a clerk outside the door, and he barged in casually.
Tang Mao's cheerful expression turned into indifference, and he looked coldly ahead, as if looking at the clerk, but also as if he was looking beyond him to the door.
The clerk looked back and said anxiously: "Mr. Tang, there is a noble person coming to the palace."
Tang Mao scolded: "My daughter is the only beauty in the palace, so where can I find such a noble person?"
The nobles are below the queen and above the beauties.
Just as the clerk was about to speak, Zuo Li walked in with a smile.
Tang Hao knew Zuo Li, but he didn't like this little Huangmen, who had a snow-white face, always stared at people with squinted eyes, and gave people a sinister and calculating look.
Tang Hao sat expressionless, making no movements, mentally speculating on the purpose of this little Huangmen's visit.
Zuo Li saw that he was so arrogant, his eyes narrowed deeper, a coldness flashed across his face, and he smiled more and more. He took out a memorial from his arms and said: "Your Majesty asked the villain to send a memorial to Mr. Tang."
Tang Hao was suspicious, so he took it and opened it, his hands trembled immediately, he looked up at Zuo Li, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, this is... no, no, your majesty means, no, no, fake, frame-up, frame-up... …”
Seeing that Tang Mao was speaking incoherently, Zuo Li stared at him with eyes like poisonous snakes and said: "False? How did I hear that those people were saved by Duke Tang? For them, they even had a dispute with the prince. "
Tang Mao stood up quickly and said anxiously: "No, no, that was a misunderstanding. Those people were all cut off, and not a single one was left..."
Zuo Li stared at him for a while, and when Tang Mao could no longer hold on, he said calmly: "Then please ask Mr. Tang to go to the prince to explain."
Tang Mao nodded repeatedly, holding the memorial in his hand, with a frightened face, and said: "What does your Majesty mean?"
Zuo Li lost his smile, just glanced at him, then turned and left.
Tang Hao's heart felt cold, and he subconsciously chased a few steps to the door. When he saw seven or eight imperial guards behind Zuo Li, he opened his mouth and closed it again.
When Zuo Li's back disappeared, Shi Shi, who had just been engaged in it, quietly came over. Looking at Tang Mao's fearful expression, he whispered: "Mr. Tang?"
Tang Hao suddenly woke up, glared at him fiercely, and strode away.
'Go to see Wang Yun, and then go to see your daughter! '
Tang Mao was so uneasy that his left and right legs were confused.
The memorial in his hand was to impeach him for accepting money and valuables from dismissed officials. The time, place, and person were clearly listed, leaving no room for quibbles!
If word of this gets out, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die!
Tang Mao entered the palace and passed by Da Sinong's Mansion. He glanced at it and urged the carriage to go faster.
Inside Da Sinong Mansion.
Liu Dai has a face of vicissitudes and sharp eyes, handling the few remaining affairs of the Da Sinong Mansion.
At this time, an agricultural supervisor came in with a happy face and said loudly: "Congratulations to the great Sinong! Congratulations to the great Sinong!"
Liu Dai had no reaction. After a while, he said, "Tell me something."
The agricultural supervisor's smile did not diminish and he said, "Don't you know yet, the great minister? There is news from the ministerial office that they are going to transfer the great minister to the ministerial office and serve as the minister of the Six Cao Cao!"
Liu Dai sat up straight and said, "Where did you get the news?"
The agricultural supervisor said: "I have a fellow countryman who is serving as an official. He said that the minister had been discussing for a long time, and originally he was appointed to be the Great Sinong. Because there was no need to move the Great Sinong's Mansion into the Hucao, so the Great Sinong was appointed to do the transition first. .”
There was confusion on Liu Dai's vicissitudes of face, and something didn't make sense.
But he still longed to enter Liucao and said, "Is it really true?"
The agricultural supervisor was even happier than Liu Dai and said: "I promise, I promise, it is absolutely true!"
Liu Dai couldn't help but feel excited, his eyes flashed sharply, and then he hesitated.
When the agricultural supervisor saw this, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Master Nong, don't you want to join the minister's desk?"
This man was brought over from Yanzhou and was considered a half-confidant. Liu Dai did not hide it and said, "I'm worried that Wang Yun will stop me."
Regarding the reduction of officials, he adopted a cold confrontation and did not report the reduction situation as Wang Yun requested. Instead, like most people, he pretended to be deaf and mute, refusing to agree or refuse.
If Wang Yun, as Zuopushe, was different from Liu Dai's transfer, then Liu Dai probably wouldn't be able to be transferred!
The agricultural supervisor understood the idea, looked back at the door, and stepped forward to offer advice: "This is easy to handle. Da Sinong might as well go to see Wang Yun and talk to him about layoffs. As for whether to lay off workers or not, Da Sinong can sit back and wait and see which way the wind blows. , act according to the trend.”
The meaning is to express his position first, let things drag on, and then wait and see which direction the wind blows. The important thing now is that Wang Yun cannot be allowed to stop Liu Dai from transferring the Sixth Cao Shangshu!
Liu Dai thought about it and thought it was feasible. He stood up and said, "I will enter the palace and go to the Chancery."
The agricultural supervisor reminded: "Da Si Nong, you'd better write a statement."
Liu Dai understood, sat down, picked up a pen, and wrote more than 300 words at his fingertips.
When Liu Dai left Da Sinong's Mansion with the documents, Tang Mao had already entered the palace.
He was worried and uneasy. He felt that his mouth was dry, his body was cold, and he was full of worries. He had gone the wrong way.
"Lantai Temple?"
Liu Dai was startled and quickly turned around.
The so-called 'Lantai Temple' is the Yushitai.
During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the Yushitai was moved to Lantai, hence the nickname "Lantai Temple". The Yushitai was renamed Da Sikong, ranking among the three nobles, and the Yushitai Zhongcheng, who was an assistant official, became the chief official of the Yushitai.
The Yushitai originally had a very low status. Like the Shangshutai, it was an institution within the palace and was subordinate to the Shaofu. The later development process was the same as that of Shangshutai, with increasing authority and it was known as "Xiantai".
After the Shaofu was deposed, the status of Shangshutai rose rapidly, but Yushitai remained unchanged.
Liu Biao has a good skin, handsome and unrestrained, coupled with an elegant and noble temperament, placed elsewhere, he would look like a hermit and an expert.
He sat in the duty room with a sullen face, breathing extremely slowly and with wide eyes, looking at an official document on the table in front of him.
"The censor Zhongcheng discusses matters at the ministerial desk, and he is above the six ministers..."
"There are thirteen prefecture-level supervisory censors who will make decisions on small matters and report on major matters..."
"Every three years, we will assess the world's officials with the officials and officials. Those who are mediocre will be dismissed, and those who are capable will be promoted..."
Liu Biao's heart was shaken very much, and his eyes seemed to be burning.
With this restructuring, his status will rise several levels, especially the power in his hands, which will be unimaginable!
In an instant, he suppressed his excitement, straightened his face, and focused his eyes on this official document.
Such a restructuring is a big move, and the adjustment within the Yushitai is particularly complex, requiring the establishment and merging of many institutions.
In this regard, there is no way around the chancery.
In other words, there is no way around Wang Yun!
Thinking of this, Liu Biao was stunned and his brain froze.
Not long ago, Wang Yun was impeached by the government and the public. The Yushitai could not just sit idly by and ignore it. He went to Yang Biao specifically and said a few words that were neither salty nor indifferent.
"Have you offended him?"
Liu Biao muttered to himself, then closed the official document, carefully locked the drawer, got up and went straight to the chancellor's desk.
He needs to mend his relationship with Wang Yun, otherwise it would be easy for Wang Yun to block Yushitai's reform and block his 'promotion'!
As Tang Mao entered Wang Yun's study, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the chancery.
When Wang Yun sent Tang Hao out with a smile, many people looked surprised.
You know, yesterday Tang Mao had an argument with Wang Yun and walked out.
Before waiting for the officials at the Chancellor's desk to pass on the news, Liu Dai, the senior clerk, came quickly, and then entered Wang Yun's room.
Not long after, Wang Yun escorted Liu Dai out, very politely; while Liu Dai smiled and raised his hands with a respectful look on his face.
Everyone's eyes were still puzzled when they saw Liu Biao, the royal censor, the prime minister, walking over with a smile and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I visited the prime minister yesterday, and I came here specifically to ask the prince for advice today."
Wang Yun suddenly changed his attitude towards Tang Hao and Liu Dai, with doubts in his heart. Seeing Liu Biao coming again, he smiled calmly and said: "Liu Zhongcheng, you're welcome, please."
"Please." Liu Biao smiled and entered Wang Yun's room.
At this moment, the entire Shangshu table was shocked.
From Yang Biao to Xun You, He Yong, Li Ru and others, they all became nervous unconsciously. Some people even stood at the door and quietly looked at Wang Yun's check-in.
Tang Mao alone could find an excuse; when Liu Dai came, he could barely say it was for business; when Liu Biao came again, it couldn't be explained by coincidence!
Wang Yun was in the room.
Liu Biao talked about the present and the past, eloquently and eloquently, quoting classics and current affairs. His words were vague, and he expressed his support for Wang Yun's "reduction of redundant officials".
Wang Yun sat still, with a silent look on his face, but he couldn't help but feel his eyes twitching, his heart heaving like waves, and he actually had the urge to cry!
Tang Mao, Liu Dai, and then Liu Biao, how could Wang Yun still not understand?
Except for His Majesty in the palace, there is no other person who can make these three people change their attitudes at the same time!
These days, he has been impeached numerous times, criticized by both the government and the public, and isolated in the Chancery. Everywhere he looks, he is an 'enemy'!
It can be said that he has been wronged, endured humiliation, and even prepared to go to jail and die.
He never thought that His Majesty in the palace would support him after all!
'Your majesty is wise! '
Wang Yun straightened his face. If Liu Biao hadn't been here, he would have wanted to kneel down and shout.
Liu Biao wanted to make a long speech, but seeing that Wang Yun was distracted, he slowly dropped the topic, stood up and said, "I won't disturb the prince anymore. I'll come back for advice another day."
Attitudes are expressed and goals are achieved.
Wang Yun stood up subconsciously and sent Liu Biao out.
At the door, both of them smiled and exchanged warm greetings.
The office of the Chancellor was already in a state of panic. Many people were trying their best to find out what Tang Mao, Liu Dai and Liu Biao said when they saw Wang Yun at this time.
Yang Biao was on duty. He blinked and smiled, with a strange look on his face, and said to himself: "What's wrong with these people? Are they suddenly so close to Wang Zishi?"
Li Ru, the prisoner, was shocked and frightened. He wanted to go to Wang Yun to ask for details, but it was too eye-catching to go now, so he could only wait until night.
Xun You and others were equally curious, but they held back and did not move.
Wang Yun saw Liu Biao off and stood at the door for a while, then suddenly turned around.
Countless people who were watching his back were startled and shrank back.
In the panic, there were all kinds of collisions and falls, and there were constant noises from tables, chairs, benches, tea cups and tea sets.
Wang Yun ignored it, with a sullen face and eyes, unable to calm down, and returned to the check-in room with his hands behind his back.
His eyes were sore and red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Wang Yun gritted his teeth, rubbed his neck, and said in a low voice.
Wang Yun has not been so excited for many years.
I don't know how long it took, but Wang Yun gradually calmed down and sat silently.
Suddenly, he sat up straight, with a firm expression and scorching eyes. He reached for Xun You's official document, read it carefully, picked it up and approved it: "Yun".
Immediately, Wang Yun closed the official document, stood up and left the duty room.
The door of Wang Yun's duty room can now be said to be the focus of the entire Chancery. As soon as Wang Yun opened it, countless pairs of eyes hid in fear.
When he saw him coming out, he held his breath even more, not daring to take a breath.
Wang Yun turned a blind eye to all this and went straight to Xun You's room.
Xun You was startled. Before Wang Yun could approach, he was already at the door to greet him. He raised his hand and said, "I have seen the prince."
Not only Xun You was frightened, but also everyone else became nervous.
What happened today was too weird. No one knew what happened and what Wang Yun was going to do!
Wang Yun entered Xun You's study, handed over the official document with an expressionless face, and said, "I have approved it."
Xun You was stunned. He took it over and opened it to look at it. He was very surprised, but he didn't know how to ask.
"I still hope you will wait until the reduction of redundant officials is completed before doing so."
Wang Yun looked indifferent, his eyes were still very red, but his tone was very calm, and he said: "I'm just suggesting."
After speaking, Wang Yun turned and left.
Xun You opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Tang Mao, Liu Dai, and Liu Biao shocked him enough. Wang Yun not only approved it, but also sent it to him personally, which shocked him even more, and even made him uneasy.
After Wang Yun left for a long time, Xun You woke up and quickly said to the clerk on duty: "You guys watch, I'll be back soon."
"Are you looking for me?" Zhong Yao faced him with a solemn look on his face.
Xun You didn't care about anything else. He pulled him over and drove the others away. Before he could sit down, he whispered: "The prince personally sent it to me."
Zhong Yao nodded, sat down and said, "I saw it."
Xun You followed and sat opposite him, looking anxious and saying, "If you have any ideas, please tell me."
Because of the issue of 'cutting redundant officials', the atmosphere at the Chancellery has become increasingly tense recently.
Zhong Yao was very calm, his face still serious as usual, and said: "Tang Gong is the official of the Sili school and a relative; Liu Dai is one of the nine ministers, the Grand Secretary Nong, from the royal family. Liu Biao is the Yushi Zhongcheng, Yushitai. 伱, Shangshu. tower."
Relatives, royal family, Yushitai, Shangshutai - all living together.
Xun You looked up, with a look of surprise on his face, and murmured to himself: "It turns out that it was His Majesty who took action."
Zhong Yao was not surprised at all, and said: "If Your Majesty doesn't take action, how will the prince come to Taiwan? Is it really necessary to watch the prince being forced down?"
Xun You said thoughtfully, "I'm very curious how your Majesty persuaded Tang Hao, Liu Dai and Liu Biao."
Zhong Yao shook his head and said: "Stop your curiosity. Don't you think there will be big trouble next?"
Xun You was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said with a hint of surprise, "You mean, your Majesty did this for another purpose?"
Zhong Yao said: "After this incident, there is no obstacle to reducing redundant officials. In the Chancery, the princes will keep their word."
Xun You frowned when he heard this.
If Wang Yun overpowers Prime Minister Yang Biao and actually takes charge of the Secretariat, the situation will change again.
Yang Biao was wise and protective, while Wang Yun was headstrong. In comparison, Xun You still felt that Yang Biao was easier to get along with.
Suddenly, Xun You's expression changed with horror, and he almost lost his voice and said: "You mean, His Majesty wants to force something to happen?"
When Zhong Yao saw that Xun You had come to his senses, his expression became more serious and he said, "I guess your majesty is dissatisfied with the changes in Sili, the transfer of taxes, and the stagnation of the salt administration."
Xun You looked at Zhong Yao and had a conjecture in his mind that made him panic, but he hesitated to speak.
Zhong Yao didn't speak, just looked at him.
Xun You calmed down, leaned closer and whispered, "Tell me, does His Majesty intend to change his appearance?"
This time it was Zhong Yao's turn to be shocked. He had never thought about this level before, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was completely possible!
But soon Zhong Yao said: "I shouldn't be able to do it for the time being."
Xun You heard the word 'for now', nodded, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Yang Biao's check-in.
Wang Yun will surely disappoint many people if he survives this disaster.
Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "Don't think so much. You are the official Cao Shangshu, and you are in big trouble."
Xun You didn't care about this and said: "The original subordinate officials of Sangong Mansion will be reduced tomorrow according to the plan."
"So fast?"
Zhong Yao was a little surprised. Shouldn't this kind of reductions be discussed repeatedly and implemented after two or three months of back-and-forth debate?
Xun You looked at him and said: "His Majesty had a chat with me a few days ago. He once said that whether it is the 'new system' of the Chancellor's Office or the reduction of redundant officials, it should be completed by the end of the year as much as possible, and the Yuan Dynasty will be changed next year to go into battle lightly."
Zhong Yao simply ignored the word 'as much as possible'.
It only takes one month until the end of the year!
He finally understood and said: "Your Majesty uses the prince's sword to cut through the mess."
dong dong dong
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.
Xun You coughed lightly and poured tea for Zhong Yao.
A clerk pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw the two of them, he raised his hand and said, "Shang Shu, His Majesty has returned to the capital."
It’s the last day. Please vote for me. If you don’t vote, it will expire.
