"Mr. Cui Ge, this time Chen Hao made such a mistake that the Lu family lost a general. Although the Du family is still in power in Huainan here, it is nothing to be afraid of... I wonder how the veteran Ge will treat this young Hanlin?" Prince Xima

Sun Haitang bowed and asked.

Before Cui Yuanshi could express his position, Li Bao could not sit still, so he stood up and said: "What else can I do? This guy is just a fool, so why should you look at him squarely? Even if we want to win over him,

It is difficult for a son to ascend to heaven. The fact that the emperor was able to bypass the four prime ministers and assistants, avoid the six ministries, and directly appoint Chen Hao as the deposed envoy is enough to show that the emperor attaches great importance to this person..."

After Li Bao finished speaking, he sat down in silence with a gloomy face, but Sun Haitang, who had just spoken, was a little unhappy and said: "Master Li, why did I ever say anything to draw Chen Hao here? Why are you so eager to express your position...

…”

"This..." Li Bao was so anxious that he didn't hear Sun Haitang's words clearly and was speechless for a moment. Sometimes Li Bao himself felt that he was a little nervous. Every time he heard information about Chen Hao, he couldn't help but

A natural nervous disorder, causing people to do inappropriate things.

Cui Cong, who had been sitting at the bottom, saw that the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked, so he laughed and said: "What you all said makes sense, and what Li Shilang said is also reasonable. Since Linghu Gui entered the province and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you should be able to

Try to figure out the Holy Spirit's thoughts.

Cui and Lu have been fighting endlessly in the court for a long time. The current emperor is not the former emperor, and the boldness of his methods is beyond our imagination. While paying attention to balance, he also does not forget to build his own team. What is the official position of the Minister of Civil Affairs?

You all know very well that it is an agency for the allocation and dispatch of officials. We have been fighting with the Lu family for many years, and the Holy Emperor still does not allow others to get involved. Now that Linghu Gui holds this important position, it is enough to show the Emperor's heart..."

Everyone couldn't help but nod after hearing this, but Cui Yuanshi, the chief minister, sighed helplessly: "Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have been incompetent, and there will always be times when both sides are wary. In the past, one of the Lu family was more powerful, but my Cui family is a century-old family.

However, as time goes by, the aristocratic family cannot escape decline and tends to decline. In order to maintain balance in the court, the late emperor vigorously supported the Cui family, so it became a sharp weapon in the emperor's hands. After all these years, now

Things have changed and time has passed, but I, the Cui family, have become a thorn in the side of the current emperor..."

"Mr. Cui Ge, there is no need to be sad. Although the emperor intends to suppress him, we are by no means idle people..." An official stood up and flattered him. However, before he could finish his words, Cui Yuanshi roared.

He was swallowed up by the voice: "You bastard! You dare to do such treacherous and unjust words. Do you want to expose me, Mrs. Cui, to disloyalty and unrighteousness?"

Cui Yuanshi, who was over sixty years old, stood up from the table and glared with a stern voice. While looking down at everyone with his tiger eyes, the majesty of a long-time superior was clearly revealed at this moment, making the person who just uttered the arrogance lay on the ground without daring to raise his head.

"Brother, calm down!" Ji Cong comforted him in a panic. He had never seen his brother so angry before.

Cui Yuanshi glanced at Cui Cong, and then snorted coldly: "Although I have family responsibilities, I am also loyal to the emperor. If there is another time, don't blame me for being ruthless." After saying this, he flirted angrily.

Sit down.

After a brief silence, Cui Cong stood up and asked Cui Yuanshi for instructions: "Brother, I think Chen Hao can be used... Even though this son does not belong to us, we can still fight for it. Besides, everyone has this son's ability.

It is obvious to all that if you belong to our account, it will be even more powerful."

"What if that kid doesn't know how to praise him? Should he be eliminated to avoid future troubles?" Li Bao sneered with a fierce look in his eyes at this moment.

Ji Cong took a deep look at Li Bao, and then said with a sneer: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to praise me. As long as you don't become an enemy of my Cui family, it can make uncle and nephew Lu Shang hurt their muscles and bones and have no peace. This wonderful chess piece, Why should we get rid of it? Instead, we need to try our best to make friends with it. Only in this way can this chess piece be handy..."

"Well, that makes sense. Now Lu Shang really hates this guy, but it's time for us to make good use of it!" Cui Yuanshi nodded after hearing Cui Cong's words, feeling that it was very reasonable.

Seeing that Li Bao was about to step forward to refute, Cui Yuanshi said coldly and solemnly: "Master Li, you sent a private letter to Eunuch Liu before, so that Du Zong knew about Chen Hao going south in advance... These old men can just pretend that they don't know. However, if you continue to ignore the distinction between public and private matters during tonight's discussion, and grudges arise again, don't blame me for being merciless..."

Li Bao was just about to lift his right leg. After listening to Cui Yuanshi's words, he suddenly felt that his right leg was weighed down by a thousand kilograms of weight and could not move a step. Li Bao was secretly horrified. He had been so careful, but he still couldn't escape this. The elder of the pavilion looked into his eyes, so he bowed tremblingly and said: "Yes, I understand!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the royal study room of the palace was also abnormal. Li Chen was sitting on the dragon chair in front of the dragon book case, while Bai Minzhong and Linghu Gu were standing next to him, waiting for the call.

Li Chen lowered his head to read the memorial on the case, and his face looked particularly strange under the light. Sometimes he looked happy, sometimes he looked gloomy, sometimes he was relaxed and unusual, sometimes he clenched his fists nervously...

After a while, Li Chen exhaled heavily and couldn't help but said to himself: "I'm really not a worry-free person..."

Although Bai Minzhong and Linghu Gu, who were at the bottom, were both confused by the emperor's actions and words, no one dared to come forward to ask. In the end, they could only look at each other and smile bitterly to express their feelings.

This matter must be recalled slowly. Li Chen summoned Bai Minzhong and Linghu Gu to the palace tonight to discuss the dispatch of troops in the spring of this year and six months later. Although the dispatch of troops should have four prime ministers present at the same time, especially Lu Shang, the Minister of War , but Li Chen has no intention of summoning him. Now Bai Minzhong and Linghu Xu are his personal team, so he needs to discuss things with his own people first.

Finally, after deliberation, the candidates for Chunwei's chief examiner were initially drawn up. There were three candidates for one chief examiner and two deputy examiners, namely Linghu Xu, Cui Cong, and Lu Wan. As for who will be the chief examiner, it has to be decided by the court. Three People must be members of Cui and Lu's two parties, otherwise it may be difficult to pass the court meeting if the balance is lost. This is also what Li Chen hates. As an emperor, he is hampered by others everywhere.

This examiner is a fat man. Except for the Emperor's disciples, all the other students are the examiner's students. This teacher-student nepotism can be said to have identified many talents. After the first batch of students are in place, they will become The grassroots forces of each political party will flourish in the future, and both sides will not forget the affection of teachers and students to win over and support. Therefore, no matter spring or autumn, this is a great opportunity for the political parties to expand their power.

As for the dispatch of troops to regain Hehuang in half a year, a preliminary charter has also been drafted, and it will only need to be seconded by all parties in the morning. After all, being able to reduce taxes is also a great blessing for the people of the world.

Li Chen gave Chen Hao a huge favor this time. Chen Hao asked Zhang Qianyi to send him a memorial, which had been placed in front of the Long Bookcase a few days ago. At that time, Li Chen had hesitated, feeling that Chen Hao would

It's a bit risky, and more importantly, it's a bit unreliable. A dignified Jiedushi, a veteran in the officialdom, but you, a little young man, threatened to confiscate his house, and his words and deeds are ridiculous. Is it possible that Du Zong

It's not made of paper.

However, in the next few days, news came frequently from Huainan, each one more thrilling than the last, and each one more novel than the last. The attack in Shouzhou City was uneventful. At night, the Jiedushi Mansion calmed down the fight between the two sides, and in the end both sides died.

, and also confiscated hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from the Supervisory Army Mansion...

Li Chen saw all this with joy in his heart, and thought to himself that this boy is really good at twisting things, causing trouble all over Huainan. The keen Li Chen would never believe that the death of the Jiedushi and the supervisor

, would have nothing to do with the deposed envoy he personally appointed. But Chen Hao was able to do so, which really made him feel gratified.

Just when Li Chen was holding the lamp, he had discussed various matters with the two prime ministers and was about to retire, when a memorial was delivered to his desk...

The memorial that Li Chen read was not someone else's, but an urgent one sent eight hundred miles away by Chen Hao from Yangzhou. The memorial described various reasons and processes in detail, and linked all the account books with Yue Qingshan and others captured in Shouzhou.

They will also be described one by one, and they will be secretly sent to the capital soon.

Looking at the ledger containing two hundred thousand taels of gold embezzled, Li Chen couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. This supervisory role was originally a supervisory organization established by him to prevent the governors from various vassal towns from abusing their powers. He never thought that he would be colluding with each other.

, there is so much corruption.

However, what Li Chen didn't know was that Chen Hao did not report all the data. What was reported was only the actual silver and gold, but Chen Hao did not report the so-called antiques, calligraphy and paintings, house deeds and property...

Li Chen read the memorial with narrowed eyes, and then said solemnly: "This is the memorial presented by Chen Hanlin. You two dears, please take a look at it too!"

Bai Minzhong and Linghu Guan read it separately, and couldn't help but feel horrified. Especially Bai Minzhong's face was a little gloomy. Although what was written in the memorial could be described as an understatement, how could he not know the dangers involved? As a young man he had chosen, he was extremely concerned about it.

Yes, he saluted and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how can Chen Hanlin hide this from them? I'm afraid that when he returns to Beijing..."

Linghu Fu was also a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, I heard this a few days ago, but I never dared to confirm it, but I never thought that there are all kinds of twists and turns. At such a young age, it is really amazing to have such a character! What Master Ranbai said

It’s not unreasonable, I’m afraid the Lu family won’t let it go…”

Li Chen was silent for a long time, thinking that this kid is too lawless. I only asked you to collect evidence, and I didn't ask you to kill Du Zong. But Li Chen also knew that he was helpless in that kind of environment, and finally looked out the window.
Chapter completed!
