Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 249 Leaving Yan Song to make a lot of money, the test is over
Zhao Wenhua was taken aback when he heard the words.

"Brother, do I want to stay in the Ministry of Industry all the time?"

He originally thought that the minister of the Ministry of Industry was a transfer, and his final destination would be the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

After all, the household department with Yan Song is the stronghold of the strict party. Even if the minister of the Ministry of Industry is fat and poor, how can he compare with the household department in charge of money?
Moreover, the status of the Minister of Household Department is much higher than that of the Minister of Industry, which is what Zhao Wenhua wants.

But looking at Yan Shifan's intention now, is he going to stay in the Ministry of Industry forever?
"What's so good about Tobe!"

Yan Shifan snorted coldly: "With my father watching, where are you going to make money?"

"This……"

Zhao Wenhua was taken aback.

"With my father and Guan Peng here, no matter how chaotic the household department is, it won't go anywhere!"

Yan Shifan said disdainfully: "But no matter how good it is, it won't be much better. Even if you go to the household department, we can't make more taels of silver!"

"Instead, the Ministry of Industry..."

At this point, he paused, and continued: "Construction of temples, dredging and embankment, border wall...too many!"

"Which one is not a lot of money?"

He grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said cheerfully: "If it wasn't for the flood in Xingyang this time, my father was sent to relieve the disaster, I really didn't know that the Ministry of Industry could make such money!"

Zhao Wenhua's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is that really the case?"

"nonsense!"

Yan Shifan glanced at him, and said with disdain: "I still need to lie to you?"

"The nanmu main beams used to build the palace in the palace cost 10,000 taels of silver when they were picked from the deep mountains and old forests of Nanzhao and Shu. Now how much is it worth to transport them all the way to the capital?"

"This... quadruple should be about the same..."

Zhao Wenhua murmured to himself, this kind of precious thing is notoriously unlucky, and according to the specifications of the materials used in the palace, there is no need for a little bump, it must be perfect in appearance.

Now that the canal is in disrepair, this thing can only be transported to the capital by land, and it can be doubled twice to guarantee the bottom line!

"But……"

Zhao Wenhua glanced at Yan Shifan with some timidity: "The palace is not being repaired now! We can't ask people to demolish it in the palace, right?"

"roll!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, he shook off the duck at his feet, and limped over to kick him.

What kind of mind can think of going to the palace to dismantle beams and pillars and sell them?It's not enough to cut off the heads of the Nine Clans!
Zhao Wenhua hurriedly swung his legs to avoid: "Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Yan Shifan had a lame leg, so he couldn't run as fast as Zhao Wenhua's two legs. After a few steps, he stopped panting, pointed at Zhao Wenhua and cursed, "If you want to die, kill yourself. Don't step on your horse and implicate me someday!" Already!"

"I know, I know." Zhao Wenhua pleaded for mercy.

If it was put in the period of the first emperor, the work of the Ministry of Industry to repair the palace would definitely be a fat job, but now... let's forget it.

Right now, His Majesty the Emperor has been enthroned for almost a year, but he seems to be more keen on making troubles in the court, and he is very indifferent to enjoying this aspect.

I don't like brocade clothes, I don't like delicacies from mountains and seas, I don't like gorgeous palaces, except for those concubines at the beginning, I didn't accept any women...

It looks like a perfect person, quite impeccable.

But neither Zhao Wenhua nor Yan Shifan was discouraged.

Throughout the history books, many emperors were like this when they first came to the throne. They were talented, ambitious, and wanted to make a career.

But not everyone can persevere, maybe after a few setbacks, they start to get discouraged, maybe after a few temptations, they start to indulge in pleasure...

There are too many variables, how many of them can persist?

Without great perseverance and determination, it is impossible to go to the end.

Of course, most of the emperors have received the best teachings since they were young, so it is not impossible that there are people who can go to the end, really make some achievements, and make Daqian even more brilliant.

But so what?Can he really be wise for a lifetime?
It is not that there are no emperors who have made great achievements in the history. Among them, there are some people who are heroic, turned the tide, helped the building to fall, and truly achieved unprecedented achievements.

But most of these people have fallen into a state of incompetence in their later years.

There are many reasons, such as peace in the world, indulging in past achievements, believing in gods and monsters, pursuing longevity, focusing on enjoyment, and liking to listen to Meiyi's flattering words...

And these latter businesses are within the business scope of those treacherous ministers.

Brothers Yan Shifan and Zhao Wenhua are not talented, and they both feel that they are not treacherous ministers, but it just so happens that due to some special life experiences, the two of them think they know a thing or two about these businesses, and that is the time for them to show their talents. .

As for now... It can only be said that the time for the virtuous minister is too late.

Thinking of this, the two actually felt a little regretful.

"Okay, don't put on such a sad face."

After regretting it, Yan Shifan waved his hands impatiently: "If you can't do the work in the palace, then do it outside!"

There is only such a small place in the palace, and it is still far behind the vast world.

Yan Shifan snapped his fingers and counted the places where he could make money: "Isn't there a few yamen warehouses in the imperial city that have been in disrepair for a long time? There is also a section of the city wall in the south of the capital that is broken? The Weishui River in Gyeonggi will not stop this year? And Longxi The commercial road, the northeast side wall..."

Zhao Wenhua also nodded vigorously, his eyes also became brighter and brighter.

He is worthy of being born to do bad things. Now, listening to the bright future described by Yan Shifan, he also began to actively diverge his thinking and conceive a beautiful blueprint for crime.

"Besides, we are much stronger than those in the Ministry of Industry. They have to honestly apply for money with the Ministry of Households. We have godfather and Shilang Guan here, so the Ministry of Households is no problem at all!"

With the speedy approving channel and no commission, if they don’t make money, who will make money?

"Stupid!"

Yan Shifan limped and wanted to rush up to slap him again: "I finally got rid of my father and found a way to make money, so you still have to go to him, right?"

"How much of the money you earn through his hands can fall into your hands?"

"I……"

Zhao Wenhua hid back in a hurry and begged for mercy: "I understand, I understand!"

Yan Shifan ran for a few steps and stopped angrily, glared at Zhao Wenhua and said, "Go back to the Ministry of Industry and work hard. If you can't make money, then you are a waste!"

"I'm going! I'm going!"

Zhao Wenhua ran out with a smile on his face.

~~
The next day, Ziwei Hall, the main hall study.

As the weather got warmer, Li Qian didn't like to stay in Dongnuange any more, but moved his daily office place back to the transparent main hall Zhengshitang.

At this moment, the window in the Zhengshitang is half open, and from the perspective of Li Gan, he can still see the revival and vitality of all things in the garden outside the window.

The sun is shining brightly, and a breeze is blowing, mixed with the unique astringent and grassy smell of spring, which makes people feel refreshed.

The old eunuch bowed and stood at the bottom of the steps, reporting to Li Qian what happened in the imperial city yesterday.

"After Cai Bian received the news from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he had no other reaction. After handing over the affairs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he went to the Ministry of Rites. It is said that he only stayed for a short while at Cai Party's celebration banquet last night, and then left directly. .”

Li Qian nodded lightly, with a complicated face.

On the one hand, he hopes that Cai Bian will get close to the Cai party, and it is best to truly integrate into the core of the Cai party.

Only in this way, one day when Cai Bian backstabs them, the damage will be even greater.

But on the other hand, Li Qian didn't want Cai Bian to get too close to the people of the Cai Party. If they were assimilated by them and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the Cai Party, then Li Qian would be at a loss.

Shaking his head, to get rid of this contradictory mentality, Li Qian looked at the old eunuch again, motioning for him to continue.

"Su Ling'a also handed over the affairs of the completion department and went directly to the household department."

The old eunuch had a weird expression: "It's just that Guan Peng, the left servant of the household department, was not there yesterday, so he couldn't handle the transfer of the household department at all."

"Can't do it?"

Li Gan was also a little funny, he didn't expect Su Ling'a to be stuck on it.

The transfer of the imperial court is not that simple, let alone a high-ranking official like the minister?

Even if the results of Ting's push came out, he would have to go through a lot of procedures before he could take office.

The handover of the original position, the documents of the official department, the face saint, the middle secretary, the door... and in the new yamen, the boss's seal and documents...

Su Ling'a went to the household department, but now Yan Song is not in the capital, and Guan Peng is in charge of the household affairs.

Without Guan Peng, Su Ling'a couldn't get a job.

"Then where did Guan Peng go?"

When Li Gan said this, he subconsciously thought of the Yan Party's actions and thought of Zhao Wenhua.

"Don't he know that yesterday he was going to transfer another servant?"

The old eunuch then replied: "Your Majesty, Guan Shilang, Luo Tongzheng, Yan Tingwei, the two ministers from Menxia Province, and Taichangqing all went to Taichang Temple yesterday."

Taichang Temple...

Li Qian nodded thoughtfully, looked at the old eunuch: "Going to find Zhao Wenhua?"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The old eunuch answered smoothly, as if he had been waiting here for a long time: "However, some Taichang Temple officials said that the situation at that time seemed a little unpleasant."

"It is said that Mr. Zhao was throwing happy money and pieces of silver with his colleagues in Taichang Temple at that time..."

"Happy money?"

Li Gan's eyes widened subconsciously, and he looked at the old eunuch with some surprise: "He gave out wedding money in Taichang Temple?"

"Indeed." The old eunuch nodded.

Li Gan was even more puzzled. He knew the custom of throwing happy money, but he didn't expect that a minister would openly throw happy money in the yamen of the imperial city in order to celebrate his promotion.

This is a bit insane, right?After working for hundreds of years, it seems that there have not been many officials who are so ostentatious.

Thinking of this, Li Qian's heart moved, and he began to look through the documents on the table. These are all new memorials that arrived today, and he hasn't had time to read them yet.

Li Gan picked out the memorials from Yushitai and officials, and opened them again. As expected, many of them impeached Zhao Wenhua for acting insolently.

Others said that such lunatics should not be allowed to steal high positions, and that they must be severely punished...

If Li Qianzhen followed these censors to write chapters and approve, then Zhao Wenhua would probably become the minister with the shortest term in Dagan's history.

He took office yesterday and was dismissed today.

But of course he won't.

Although Li Gan doesn't like Zhao Wenhua's behavior, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Now he and Yan Dang are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation. If there is no conflict of interest, he can't suddenly tear himself apart with them.

Li Gan thought for a while, and then turned to look at the old eunuch: "Go on."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch responded and continued: "It is said that Guan Shilang was very dissatisfied with Mr. Zhao's behavior at that time, and the two sides separated."

Li Qian nodded thoughtfully: "Please tell me what you have found out carefully, try to be as truthful as possible, and don't miss anything."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch tried hard to recall: "The people below inquired about it from the officials of Taichang Temple..."

Although his description is not very complete, but the part of subjective feelings is removed, and the whole is quite objective.

"Zhao Wenhua is so flamboyant..."

Li Qian frowned.

According to the old eunuch's description, Guan Peng was already quite angry at that time, and several other strict party officials were also somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Wenhua.

But Zhao Wenhua didn't even give an explanation or explanation, and ignored these "old seniors".

You know, the day before yesterday, he was still a fourth-rank official, the kind he would salute when he met Guan Peng.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to change their minds after being suddenly promoted, and they would have to call themselves subordinates to Guan Peng and others, and stay humble.

But Zhao Wenhua was a bit crazy to ignore Guan Peng and the others so directly that day...

Li Gan frowned slightly, hoping that Yan Song could restrain his godson well, otherwise he would spoil him once or twice, but there would never be a third time.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Su has gone to the Ministry of Households today and completed the final transfer."

The old eunuch quietly glanced at His Majesty the Emperor who was in deep thought: "The three servants have all taken up their posts now."

"Yeah." Li Gan nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

Li Gan was not very satisfied with the performance of these three servants.

He hoped that the only thing that didn't go well was the beginning, and it would gradually get better...

The fierce fights and tense court pushes only took place in the court hall, which seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world, only the results and aftermath reverberated in the capital.

But at this time, the focus of most people in the capital is not here, because the replacement of the assistant minister is too far away for them. The clouds belonging to the sky are hidden behind the clouds and mountains, and sometimes they can't even see them, let alone Reachable.

The focus of everyone's attention is still what happened around them.

For example, the first round of today's test is over, and the candidates are about to appear.

The outside of the tribute courtyard was surrounded by family members of the candidates who were waiting, and many of them felt psychological shadows. While waiting for the candidates, they looked around in fear, fearing that another team of tiger guards would block the street.

Fortunately, everyone's worries were not realized, and everything went well in this trial.

As the dragon gate was opened, the examinees walked out of the tribute courtyard with tired faces, got into their cars and sedan chairs and left.

Take a day off, enter the exam again for three days, then go out for another day, and continue the exam for three days.

After three rounds like this, the Dagan Jinke Examination has come to an end.

The next step is for the examiners to mark the papers, rank them, and post the apricot list.
