Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 54 Pot falls from the sky, bad luck comes at the head.

"Acquainted with the minister?"

Not only Bo Renxi himself was puzzled, but everyone else looked at him, and the emperor glanced at the two of them, and his heart became clear.

Bo Renxi was a Jinshi in the second year of Qianxing. Because of his upright character, he served as a supervisory censor at the Yushitai, and then transferred to a local government to become a magistrate. As everyone knows, he was appointed as the right minister by the emperor the year before last, and also the governor of Jingzhaoyin.

Not everyone is capable of being a parent official in the capital, but Bo Renxi never pretends to those high-ranking officials and noble dudes, so he was given the nickname, Uncle Tie Mian.

And among these dandies, there is a thorn in the head.

It was Zhou Xu.

"Cheng Yuan, did you go to find Hu Chi?"

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from my father. Didn't I hear that he was causing trouble again a month ago? My son was busy with business and didn't have time to visit him. When I was free a few days ago, I wanted to go to the Zhou Mansion. When I met him coming out, I wanted to gossip with him, talking about the resettlement of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, but before the words were implemented, I told him that the adults in the court and the middle school were all thinking about the frontier army's rations, and had no time to take care of these unimportant things."

Song Qianyuan briefly talked about the conversation with Zhou Xu. Of course, Zhou Xu complained that the courtiers were procrastinating, and the corpses were eating vegetarian meals.

"It's him?"

Bo Xiren was very surprised, Tiger Chi was Zhou Xu's nickname, he knew it, and he also knew that this kid got the nickname of Master Hu in the shops in the capital, this guy was a regular customer of Jing Zhaoyin, three Those people can't afford to provoke some trivial matters at both ends of the day, so he can only report to Jing Zhaoyin.

But when he got to the yamen, Bo Xiren couldn't do anything about him, because Zhou Xu didn't do anything against the law, he could only reprimand him if he thought that the food in this family was short of salt, or that the wine in that family was mixed with water. Let him go back, and occasionally see him fighting and being sent to the Yamen with other scoundrels, but he is always a bit unreasonable, which is a headache.

I was still wondering why I didn't come this month, and then I heard the second prince said that this method was his suggestion, wouldn't I be surprised?

"This kid, why does he seem to be enlightened now? How did he come up with such a method?"

"Father, you should look at him with admiration for three days. Brother Xu has changed for the better now. He doesn't make troubles anymore. He rides horses and fights dogs, has fun and has fun, and often reads at home~"

Hearing what his father said, Song Chengyuan thought he had won his favor this time, so he said a few words to him, who knew that the eldest prince and the third prince couldn't help laughing out loud, seeing the emperor looking over, he hurriedly held back He smiled and said: "Father, my son is rude, but this week Xu'er heard that he went to the Imperial College and bullied the teachers. Now that he is here, he can actually read."

"That's right, I met Jijiu the other day, and I heard him say to the students: Zhou Xu and women can't be taught." The third prince Song Chengrui couldn't help laughing, he just looked at Song Qianyuan and said with a smile: "Hehe, second brother, don't you accept me?" What good does it do him to praise him so unconscionably?"

The benefit is naturally received, but how could Song Qianyuan tell the two of them that now that the mansion is open and everyone has their own affairs, it is naturally better for him to make a fortune quietly, and he and the boss and the third child have never been together. Xu has followed the merchant business, so I don't know what to say.

"Hmph, is it funny?"

The emperor opened his mouth lightly, looked at the three princes and reprimanded him: "You laugh at others for being ignorant, but you know that talented people can compare you with just a little bit of research."

"Ah, I don't quite understand the meaning of the emperor?"

"Do you know who came up with the strategy of setting up the Beijing camp and dismissing the soldiers the day before yesterday?"

The emperor glanced at the three of them, but he said that other people can think of such a method if they are stupid, but you are all famous teachers, why can't you think of any of them?

"Ah, your Majesty's method of gathering troops to patrol the streets and gates is also what Zhou Xu said?"

Bo Xiren listened to the staring boss, he was going to tell the emperor about it today, now that the weather is getting colder, those soldiers are scattered on the street with nowhere to go, pointing to the curfew and arresting them in the yamen, but Beijing How can there be so many places in Zhaoyin Yamen, and now the prison is overcrowded, and they can't be driven away.

Some people even spread this method, the sinners who have caused trouble and sued the Yamen these days are all soldiers of the Beijing camp, so they can't let it go.

"Well, then I met that kid at the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion when he was rising from the palace."

The emperor almost said that he met Zhou Xu in the West Market, and he was getting better soon, otherwise these civil servants would have to drag him to remonstrate, but even so, Bai Shizhong still frowned and cupped his hands to remonstrate He said: "Your Majesty, the white dragon fish suit was not taken by a virtuous king. Now that the whole country is in great trouble, hundreds of millions of people are all belonged to His Majesty. There must be a difference!"

"I've remembered what Master Bai said."

Faced with the prime minister's remonstrance, the emperor could only agree with his mouth, and only he knew what he was thinking.

After hearing this, Bo Renxi said: "Your Majesty, today the minister is going to report on this matter. Now that there is trouble in the city, the intruders are almost dismissed from the Beijing camp. This matter should be settled. Now that there is a way to settle down, why not implement?"

"Ren Xi, it was discussed once that day. Although this method is available, the establishment of a new government office involves a lot of things. How can it be settled immediately? The cost of this is determined by the selection of the government office and the selection of the officials. Everything is troublesome."

Bai Shizhong shook his head, thinking that a child is just a child, thinking that the establishment of a new yamen by the imperial court is just a joke.

"Bai Xianggong, but the soldiers in this city can't be ignored~"

Bo Renxi didn't know the difficulties of setting up a new yamen, but the main problems were not these problems, but the discord between the Zhengshitang and the emperor. There were already many redundant officials in the court, and the emperor asked the Zhengshitang to discuss reducing them several times. The official was persuaded by Bai Shizhong, but now he wants to open a new yamen, and the Zhengshitang immediately agreed, what does the emperor think?
"Even if we want to resettle them, I don't think this method is appropriate. The imperial court needs to be fully responsible for establishing this yamen, and all the expenses will be paid out of the treasury. The expenditure of these thousands of people is not low."

The Minister of the Ministry of Households does not agree with this method. Originally, there are four city defense troops in the capital, patrol officers, and Jingzhaoyin Yamen Yamen servants. Wouldn’t it be a waste of money to use such a department? Several ministers disagree. Only Bo Renxi persisted, and several people argued and refused to give in to each other.

The eldest prince had just been reprimanded by the emperor, and he was upset. Seeing that the couple were arguing again because of that fool's words, he turned his eyes and said to the emperor: "Father, since the method proposed by Zhou Xu Come out, why not let him be responsible for this matter, I remember that he will be an adult this year, and he spends all day fighting cocks and walking dogs, why not let him do this?"

"Ah, brother, what are you doing?"

The third prince was taken aback, the boss must have taken the wrong medicine, he is the head of the new yamen, and handing it over to him would not have given the second brother a big boost in disguise, who doesn't know that Zhou Xu and the second prince have been playing together since childhood?
But what the eldest prince said next made him shut up, thinking that the elder brother is still dark enough.

"However, the imperial court doesn't have enough money to set up a new government office, Zhou Xu has to deal with the expenses himself~"

Zhou Xu looked up at the shop that Xue's family had given him, and felt bad luck.

"Changsheng Store, isn't this a coffin shop?"
