Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 342 Newcomer to the household department, reported by Fang Chen

The sky was slightly bright, and the sound of a rooster woke Li Fangchen from his sleep, leaving him in a state of dissociation.

Xuan Yi arranged for the maid to change his clothes and wash his face, and at the same time the cook in the mansion brought him a breakfast.

White rice porridge, served with a small dish of pickles, is a joy to eat.

Three or two mouthfuls were poured into the stomach, and I couldn't help belching.

Delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies?
Man only loves radish and cabbage!

After tidying up his robes and seeing nothing wrong, he got into the carriage and set off for the palace.

Wearing a boa robe, not an official uniform.

Don't look at the fourth-rank household servant Li Shimin arranged for him, the official robe is a bit nondescript.

After all, he is also a first-rank King of Qin, who would dare to underestimate him?
Entering the court, this time he did not stand at the head of the generals, but inserted into the ranks of civilian officials.

"Your Highness, you should go to the front, why are you here?"

Seeing Li Fangchen standing alone in the Hubu team, Hubu Shangshu Wang Gui's face turned pale and frightening.

It's like a cat popping out of a pile of mice, who can accept it.

"Isn't this king the servant of your household department? Why can't you be here?" Li Fangchen's mouth was full of amusement.

Hubu Shangshu Wang Gui had a look of melancholy on his face, and finally even pushed Li Fangchen out of the queue.

Li Fangchen shook his head boredly, walked forward, and finally stood beside the crown prince.

"Morning, Brother Prince!" He yawned as he spoke.

Li Chengqian nodded, and then bowed to worship with all the officials.

Li Shimin entered the palace, and all the officials came to remonstrate, but the king of Qin stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to do.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, held back his anger, regarded it as nothing, and didn't say much.

When the next court came, Li Fangchen staggered and prepared to leave again to report to the household department.

"Second brother wait a minute."

Li Chengqian's voice sounded from behind, and Li Fangchen stopped walking.

"Second brother, brother"

Facing Li Chengqian's yelling and feeling a little nervous, not knowing how to express himself, Li Fangchen smiled and said, "Brother Prince, is it possible that your tongue is tied up? Why can't you speak?"

Li Chengqian's body froze, and he gave Li Fangchen a blank look, but the tense atmosphere just now seldom eased.

There is nothing wrong with joking between two brothers.

Pulling Li Fangchen aside, Li Chengqian asked, "Second Brother, do you intend to?"

His eyes flickered, just looking at his appearance, Li Fangchen guessed what he wanted to ask, waved his hand and said, "I said, brother prince, if I want it, why wait until now? Don't you understand?"

"But father."

"Father is Father, and I am me. Could it be that if Father asked me to do it, I have to do it?"

The words were a little frivolous, but King Qin had such a temperament.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "For Datang, I think you are more suitable than me."

Li Fangchen was slightly annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why is it more suitable than you?"

Li Chengqian's face was slightly guilty, knowing that this was Li Fangchen comforting himself, he smiled bitterly and said: "I am not as good as you in Wentao and Wulu, and you have been giving in all this time, how could brother Yu not know. Now the emperor has a heart, and brother Yu knows his own virtue." If you don’t deserve it, let me and my second brother save you and me from fighting with each other.”

Li Fangchen's face was slightly distorted, and his expression was strange, with an indescribable disgust.

"I said, Brother Prince, did you take medicine before leaving the East Palace? Or did you bump your head when you returned to the East Palace last night?"

Li Chengqian obviously did not expect that Li Fangchen would have such a reaction.

"Second brother, me."

"If you really have a question, go directly to the emperor, and tell the old man for me by the way, I will give this position to whoever you like, and I won't do it!"

Afterwards, Li Chengqian, who was obviously a little dull, was left behind, and Li Fangchen left.

Li Chengqian looked around in a daze, and didn't know what to say. Could it be that he really has a villainous heart?
"Father. Are you going to ask Father?"

Maybe the second brother is right, if you have any questions, just ask them.

At the same time, thinking of his second younger brother referring to his father as an "old man" before leaving, he couldn't help but laugh.

Today's royal father can indeed be called an old man, and he agreed with this title with a smirk.

Li Fangchen really wanted to go back to the mansion directly to sleep, but since he had an official position, he had to do official work.

Tobe?let's go!
Detour for a long time, to the outside of the Ministry.

Several officials came in and out and looked very busy. Seeing Li Fangchen coming here, greeted "His Royal Highness King Qin."

Li Fangchen nodded to indicate that he knew, and then stepped into the household department.

The first time I came here, I really hadn’t seen the “prosperity” of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

To put it bluntly, they are all old objects that have been in disrepair for a long time, and there are several feet of dust on the door.

Entering the main hall, the officials of the household department were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed when they saw King Qin.

Li Fangchen waved his hand and said, "My colleagues, we will work together in the future, and I hope you will take care of me."

"No way, Your Highness is joking."

It sounds simple, but who dares to really not take King Qin seriously, treat him like a colleague, and even if King Qin had his head chopped off, he would deserve it.

"Your Highness, this way please!"

Wang Gui, Minister of the Household Department, hurried forward and greeted Li Fangchen to take a seat in the inner hall.

"Wang Shangshu, don't be polite between you and me. I don't know what this king needs to do?"

When you arrive at the household department, you have to follow the rules of the household department. Since you have been named a servant, then Li Fangchen has to be a real servant.

be lazy?Don't worry now, after he understands the office procedures of the household department, there will be plenty of time for him to be lazy.

"Your Highness, please drink tea." Wang Gui first poured a cup of tea for Li Fangchen, and then explained: "Your Majesty arranged you to the Ministry of Households. I'm afraid there are other meanings. I don't know what your Highness thinks?"

Li Fangchen shook his head, "Whatever you do, I will do whatever you want. Everyone is eating a bowl of rice. Wang Shangshu, please don't let me be the target of public criticism."

"How can it be! Your Highness, wait a moment, the old minister will return as soon as he goes."

Wang Gui's mind turned quickly, is King Qin a big trouble?
Bah, whoever thinks that way is a fool.

He can guarantee that the most intelligent person in the world is the prince in front of him, and that the state policy is all "fairy books" for others to study!
Wang Gui even had a plan in mind, as long as he cooperates well with His Highness, everything will no longer be a problem.

The bewildered look shown in front of King Qin before seemed more like a cover-up, covering up his true thoughts.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of money and politics to determine household registration, which is all delicate work, and I dare not be sloppy in the slightest.

Li Fangchen waited in the inner hall for a while, and saw Wang Gui coming with a stack of books.

"Wang Shangshu, is this what this king is going to do?"

Looking at the book, Li Fangchen was obviously curious, and didn't know what it was for.

Wang Gui took a breath, for an elderly person, if he does a little heavy work, his body will be exhausted.

"Your Highness, this is the account book of the Ministry of Accounts in recent years, and every expense is recorded in it. Please check it out, Your Highness."

Li Fangchen rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Wang Shangshu, are you planning to drive this king away in advance?"

Wang Gui pretended to be very surprised and asked, "What does your Highness mean?"

"Corruption investigation? How many of these officials are clean? I'm afraid that half of them will lose their heads!"

Wang Gui gritted his teeth, "The old minister knows! But the old minister must investigate!"
