Generally, the main hall or court hall of a government office can be understood as a conference room.
After Sun Shouting returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs from the next court, a group of subordinate officials followed Lao Sun into the main hall. There were more than ten officials, ranging from the lowest to the fifth rank.
After sitting down, Lao Sun took a sip of tea and then asked someone to notify Han You to come over.
When Young Master Han walked into the main hall, everyone looked at him.
Han You smiled and nodded. He was a reserved, low-key, sunny boy.
In fact, many people in the household department had seen Han You, especially those who went to court. They had seen him once in Taiqian Hall, but some people had seen him twice. In addition to the left minister Situ Yu, there was also the right minister Zhang Tongju.
Han You did not look at the household officials present, fearing that his eyes would linger too much on the faces of Zhang Tongju, the right servant, and Hua Qiong, the deputy minister, and lead to alarm.
These officials are all smart people, and often a look, a word, or even a word can let the other person see through their intentions.
The main hall is very large, with six stools on both sides, except for the main seat on the left and right.
Sun Shouting nodded slightly: "Officials, sit down."
After finishing speaking, Sun Shouting looked at Han You and pointed to the position next to him, which was the first position on his right hand.
Naturally, the person sitting in the first place on the left hand is Situ Yu, the left servant, and the one in the right hand position is usually Zhang Tongju, the right servant.
This seemingly casual behavior is actually normal. Han You's identity is there. After all, he is the emperor's bastard. Sitting on the right hand and in the first place cannot be said to respect Han You, but respect for the emperor.
There were a total of twelve stools, and there were nineteen people present. Those of lower rank could only stand. Sun Shouting waved his hand again: "Please step aside."
The person standing responded and walked out consciously.
Han You kept smiling, scanning his eyes naturally, and finally saw clearly the No. 1 and No. 2 targets, namely Zhang Tongju, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Hua Qiong, the member of the Ministry of household affairs.
Let’s talk about Yuanwai Lang Hua Qiong first. This guy was born in the military. He climbed up by recognizing his father. He looks like the peasant in Landlords. His mouth is full of stubble, and he only needs a cloth to wrap his head.
As for Zhang Tongju, Sun Shouting's brother-in-law, his family has been officials for generations and he was born in the north. He looks like... just like the landlord in Landlords.
Han You really didn't want to keep his eyes on the faces of these two people. The problem is that these two people look like this. One looks like a landlord, and the other looks like a farmer. It's too funny. I don't know who these two things are. How come they got together?
In an instant, Han You understood. No wonder he always lost when playing landlords in his previous life. It turned out that the landlord and another farmer were in the same group!
Hua Qiong was okay. She smiled and nodded at Han You as a greeting, which was quite friendly.
From the bottom of his heart, Han You respects the military. If Hua Qiong only recognizes his father to get ahead, Master Han will try his best to give Hua Qiong a happy ending even if he finds out the final irrefutable evidence. After all, he has also fought for the country and killed enemies for the country. Pass.
In fact, not so.
According to Beimen Yuyong's initial information, this guy first worked as an errand in Zhechong Mansion in Ju County, Beidi, and he was still a Shangfu.
Hua Qiong was in charge of the Shangfu as the captain. Seven years ago, he went out to fight with the border cavalry battalion. He made military exploits and returned to Beijing to receive the merits. Then he became the adoptive father of Zheng Huangtan, the former military supervisor of the dynasty, and started his career from then on. A point of no return.
This is the information that Beimen Yuyong generally knows. After all, he is a military commander. He doesn't know much. But Han You has a father who is a military commander, so he asked Wang Hai to ask Wang Shan. After asking, he found out that this was not the case at all. , are all characters.
Captain Hua Qiong can be said to have been picked up. Zhechong Mansion in Ju County is close to Beiguan, and he occasionally goes out to fight in the pass. His combat power is relatively good compared to the horizontal comparison within the pass.
In the previous dynasty, the emperor was ignorant and many refugees went to the mountains to become bandits. Zhechong Mansion in Ju County began to suppress the bandits. He participated in more than ten large and small bandit suppression campaigns and made many military exploits.
Hua Qiong was very lucky. His Shangguan died, so he was promoted to him. The Shangguan failed again, and he was promoted again. In the past seven years, he had been promoted four times, and finally he was "promoted" to the position of the top captain in Zhechong Mansion.
It is worth mentioning that Hua Qiong may have joined the Beidi family at this time, either the Zhang family or the Zhao family.
Then this guy started to play with characters. He specializes in fighting must-win battles. If there are vagrants, unless they are rioters, he will lead his troops and beat them up. If he encounters a real banditry, which is small-scale, he will go up and beat them up. If the number is okay, he will sit in charge. In the rear, let the people below lead the soldiers to beat them. If there are more people and there are dangers, he will just ignore them and just delay them.
To say that this guy is playing with his character is because Hua Qiong asked his subordinates to brag for him, saying that he was the "God of War" in the army and would win every fight. Of course, those who knew the inside story would understand that this guy was fighting novices.
You can't brag if you don't talk about people. One time Hua Qiong took a few relatives to pretend to be drinking, and they really ran into rioters.
In fact, these rioters were all on the run. They were really hungry and had no choice but to ask Hua Qiongren, who was riding a horse back to the camp after drinking wine, to ask for something to eat. There were not many of them, just over thirty. Hua Qiong There were less than twenty people here, and then they started fighting.
In the end, Hua Qiong, the God of War... was comparable to mortals in the body of a god, and was beaten until he was screaming by a group of ordinary people with sallow faces and skinny muscles.
Regardless of whether they were relatively few people, or whether they were drunk, you must know that the other party was a group of ordinary people who had not eaten for two or three days. They were beaten into such a bear shape, their horses were robbed, and they had no food. After seeing it, he returned to the army as a captain, laughed out loud, and hung him on the pillar of shame of the Northland Army. That was considered a shame on the pillar of shame.
Later, this incident was reported back to Zhechong Prefecture and even to the border army, and Hua Qiong became a joke. It was a big joke. Just in time for the chaos outside the pass, several Zhechong Prefectures joined the army in fighting. This time, Hua Qiong was very lucky. He picked up a leak behind the border army's Xiaoqi camp and captured the leader of a large tribe alive, and finally returned to the capital to receive his reward.
Others may not know this kind of thing, not even Beimen Yuyong, but how could someone like Wang Hai, who was born in the army, not know about it.
Therefore, Han You despised Hua Qiong to the core.
As for the number one target in the main hall, Zhang Tongju, his eyes were calm. He only glanced at Han You slightly, his eyes did not stay too long, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Most of the senior leadership team of the Household Department were here. Sun Shouting put down his tea cup, glanced at everyone, and then spoke loudly.
"A few days ago, Your Majesty summoned me to the palace to discuss the matter of commercial taxation. He praised Commander Han very much. It was the time when the commercial tax system was being reformed. I asked Your Majesty again after I came to court yesterday. His Majesty wanted to transfer Commander Han to the household. With the help of the ministry, I thought hard last night, and I was still hesitant at first, but when I went to court today, His Majesty mentioned the commercial tax issue again, so I just announced it before leaving the office."
After finishing speaking, Sun Shouting still showed a helpless look.
Many Ministry of Household officials suddenly realized this and breathed a sigh of relief.
It can also be seen from this that Lao Sun is an old man. Although he is a minister, he does not support such a large household department by himself. If he does not communicate with the people below, he will let the emperor's own troops come over. It cannot be justified. Not conducive to unity.
Now it's okay, let's just say that it was Boss Zhou who asked him to do it. He was originally unwilling to do so, but today Boss Zhou ordered him to go to court, so he was forced to "take the initiative" to second Han You.
Han You cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have the emperor's mandate. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
They were just being polite, and many officials smiled and responded politely. But at this moment, a very sudden "hum" sounded.
Han You turned his head and looked at Zhang Tongju who was sneering with a half-smile: "This sir..."
Han You lowered his gaze and looked at Zhang Tongju's jade belt, and then said: "I guess this gentleman is Zhang Shilang."
"Yes, Zhang Tongju, the right servant of my official household department."
Zhang Tongju looked at the expressionless Sun Shouting again: "Your Excellency, I feel that this matter is inappropriate. The commercial tax reform is an internal matter within the household department. It is of great concern. It is related to the world's merchants, the national treasury, and the country. The lower official knows, but it is precisely because of this that Commander Han should not be allowed to assist the household department. It is known to the whole world that Yi Dao Wei is good at using the heavy code. The poor reputation can be said to be a disgrace. If people know about this matter, Yidao Wei will be involved. , I’m afraid there will be a lot of discussions, speculations, and doubts.”
"I have considered this matter again and again. Although I am the commander of the Yidao Guards, I have enrolled in the Imperial College a few days ago. The students of the Imperial College cannot be compared with the former Yidao Camp."
"Sir, he has only been in the Imperial College for a few days. Even though he has the status of a prison student, he is still a shameless sword guard. If the outside world knows about it, I am afraid that there will be some criticism of the household department."
"I don't know, I just..."
Before Sun Shouting finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound that startled the old sun.
Han You slapped his hand on the table, pointed at Zhang Tongju and scolded: "Did you let the Hulk use his fingers to do a gastroscopy through his mouth to make a digital examination? I'm trying to make you look bad, Zhang Tongju, I just said I was so busy cleaning up the classroom that I forgot to clean up you, right?"
