Beijing, Four Seasons Villa.
At night, the villa is bustling with people.
It has been more than two months and almost three months since Han You left for Nandi. Compared with when he left, the villa has an endless stream of people. Beimen Yuyong has also begun to limit the number of visitors. The villa has launched a reservation service. No one wants to come. If you can come just to play, you must make a reservation in advance, which is called to ensure the tourists' experience.
Don't mention it, dignitaries and dignitaries just do this. What are we playing? It's just a winding path. There are too many people and it's like going to a big gathering. It's a loss!
At this time, Lao Ba, who was wearing a black robe, was walking on the bluestone road with Eunuch Suan.
Tomorrow, Lao Ba will announce the candidates for the three provinces.
Zhongshu Sheng Zhongshu Ling, the former Minister of Rites Qian Ji.
Zhao Tai, the minister in charge of the provincial affairs department, was the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel.
Shangshu Ling, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Zhenghuai.
Regarding this kind of important personnel transfer, the palace usually releases some rumors first to see the outside world's reaction, and this is also the case.
The reaction from the outside world was not what Lao Ba expected, and there was no one who wanted to obstruct it. After all, there was Zhao Tai from the Zhao family here.
In fact, the outside world has already guessed the list of candidates, and they are quite satisfied with this arrangement.
A carrot and a hole, three ministers have become ministers, and someone must take the position of minister.
The person who succeeded the Minister of Rites was Wu Dingbi, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and Chen Yongzhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishments, was promoted to the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
The person who took over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was Wan Zhongnian, the magistrate of Jinyu Dao in the West. It is worth mentioning that this guy was also the husband of King Yan's sister, that is, Feng Bai's uncle.
In addition to Wan Zhongnian's strong ability and excellent political achievements, the palace also wanted to provide peace of mind to Prince Yan's palace in the West in disguise.
As for the person who succeeded Zhou Zheng as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it was an unpopular one. Xu Wenjin, the minister of Taipu Temple, was also the good old man of Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who bought one and got one free.
Although it was a shock, people from all parties in Beijing did not take it seriously. They all knew that the Ministry of Industry was a government agency with no real power, no money, and no future.
The thing is, everyone's reaction to Huang Youwei, Minister of the Ministry of War, is a bit strange.
Although Taipu Temple does not have real power, at least it will not offend others, will not be scolded, and will not take the blame. Huang Youwei is obviously a strong contender to be the next Minister of the Ministry of War. If his son becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he will take the blame in the future. If there are too many blames, it will definitely affect him. As a result, Huang Youwei has been quiet until now. He seems to have no objection to the good old man becoming the chief scapegoat of the Zhou Dynasty.
Strolling on the bluestone road, Lao Ba held his hands behind his back. He was not worried about the person who would be at the helm of the three-province system tomorrow. What he was worried about was the first political order that he would issue as emperor after the three-province system.
"Have you read the excerpt of the Ministry of Punishment's Gonglu?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, I read it."
The emperor has one head and two eyes, so there are so many excerpts every day that it is impossible to read every one of them word for word. Many of them are not very important, or the same thing, and are disturbing, so I just selectively ignore it and let Mr. Suan read it.
"There hasn't been much turmoil in the capital, but the various factions are afraid that the government's orders are not in compliance."
Mr. Suan said it very implicitly. First of all, there is no storm in Beijing. It doesn't mean there is no storm. It's just that I don't know when the storm will start. Maybe it won't be a storm but a storm.
Secondly, there are the various provinces. The decree has not yet been extended to all provinces across the country. It is just two provinces close to the center of Beijing. One is in the south, one is in the north, and one is in the west. These three are not Taoist at all.
The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Personnel sent people to the three state capitals. On the surface, everyone nodded happily and said yes. Everything should be aligned with the capital and the imperial court. In private, they just said, "Fuck you, sir," to ensure the interests of the people. Well, then who will protect the interests of us officials, aristocratic families, and gentry? Since ancient times, we have only sucked the blood of the people. Now, let the people suck our blood. Isn’t this fucking perverse? Isn’t this fucking person eating bamboo and pulling a basket? Are you rebelling against Tiangang? This is not because my boyfriend is paralyzed by a leakage of electricity. How could he follow the government order?
This is the case with government decrees. It is impossible for a bowl of water to be balanced. There will always be some tilt. Since the tilt is on the side of the people, those who exploit the people will certainly not abide by it. They have become accustomed to the "comfort zone".
"I remember Han You once told me that the fat guy named Beimen Yuyong is his most trusted adviser. I wonder if he can share my worries tonight."
Eunuch Suan lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, with your military strategy, this matter will be solved easily."
"Yeah."
Lao Ba turned his head and asked for no reason: "By the way, Wen Wu, have you ever heard the sound of other people farting?"
Mr. Suan was stunned for a moment: "I've heard of it."
"What sound?"
"Just...a pop."
"Yes, but you are different." Lao Ba said seriously: "Other people fart with a pop sound, but do you know what your fart sounds like?"
"What sound?"
"Your Majesty, with your civil and military strategy, this matter will be solved easily."
Wenwu: "..."
"Talk fucking shit all day long."
Lao Ba muttered and continued walking forward.
This guy's qualities are like this. When he is unhappy, he will kill everyone, mainly in civil and military fields.
It can be seen that Lao Ba has nothing to do, otherwise he would not be able to leave the palace and come to Four Seasons Villa wearing a black robe.
In fact, he just went out of the palace to relax and didn't have high expectations for Beimen Yuyong.
This is not the first time that Lao Ba has come here since Han You left Beijing. He has been here three times before, all to relax, and he also got a badge. There is no need to make an appointment when he comes, he can come in directly without causing any unnecessary trouble.
However, Lao Ba had explained before that he didn't need anyone to greet him, he could just go around by himself, but the expenses would have to be recorded in Beimen Yuyong's account.
This guy is quite a thief. He will charge it to Han You's account. Han You has to take care of what he wants. He will charge it to Beimen Yuyong's account so as not to delay his dividends.
Since Han You left, Lao Ba has also found the right way to open the Villa, which is shameless at all. He also mortgaged all the abandoned palaces, shops and other money-losing properties to the Villa, and still sold them according to the "market price". "Price" mortgage.
Even though Beimen Yuyong had been fighting with Han You all day long, he had to be scared when he saw Lao Ba. He really took advantage of Lao Ba in being in charge of the villa.
The most lively place in the villa is definitely the football field, and Lao Ba's favorite place to go is the football field. Most of the people there are farmers, and there are also some dignitaries, but not many.
Taking Eunuch Suan all the way to the outside of the stadium, Lao Ba's already bad mood became even more gloomy.
Zhou Yan, the big-crotch crusher on the court, is leading a group of royal guards to compete with the loyal and patriotic pair of the Ma family. The score is currently zero to zero.
Not to mention whether Zhou Yan raised it well or not, in the eyes of a father, it is first of all wrong for his son not to do his job properly. Secondly, Zhou Yan kicked him dirty. A bunch of arrogant barbarians, no matter what, they are all from physical blows to mental shocks.
That's all. The main reason is that there is no father and son on the court, let alone a prince. The Ma family banker also put aside his scolding. From the moment Lao Ba walked to the side of the court, he had seven or eight extra brothers-in-law.
But Lao Ba doesn't care about this kind of thing. Anyway, the old and young women in the palace do have a lot of second-hand and third-hand goods.
He casually found a place to sit down, and Lao Ba didn't ask Wen Wu to call Zhou Yan. He thought that if he listened for a while, he would have more reasons to beat Zhou Yan to vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lao Ba sat down, he suddenly saw a tall woman dribbling and rushing all the way. She hit three Majia dealers one after another. Then she volleyed with a long leg and the ball went in. There were cheers from the long side. Voice.
Lao Ba looked at her intently and said uncertainly: "Why does that woman look familiar?"
"It seems...like the daughter of Mr. Zhao Tai and Zhao's family."
"Yes, it's called Niu Dan, right?"
"Dan Niu."
"Oh, Egg Cow."
Lao Ba didn't take it seriously. After watching the ball for a while, he started to get worried again.
"Due to the incident at Nanguan, all the grain and grass were mobilized, but it was a disaster for the men of the Northern Army. The Ministry of Household Affairs has no money for food again, alas."
Eunuch Suan couldn't answer the question. There was no fighting at Nanguan Pass, but the foreign enemies on the other side of Beibianguan were ready to make a move. As a result, all the food and grass for the court were prepared for Nanbianguan, but they owed some money to Beibianguan.
"Go, find that fat guy, and let's see if there's anything we can take advantage of."
"Your Majesty, there is no advantage left in the Villa."
Eunuch Suan was quite benevolent, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he whispered: "All the money in the villa has been spent due to the mortgage."
"Look, let's just say that fat guy is not as good as Han You. If Han You is here, not to mention the 200,000 guan that Beibianguan owes, it is 2 million guan. Han You can also get it. If there are dates and no dates, he will hit three poles. Call the fat guy."
Mr. Suan was too lazy to say a word and asked someone to go.
