I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 209 each with their own minds

After receiving Li Tian's will, Huang Yan and Zhuge Zheng knew that the matter could not be delayed, so they stood up and resigned.

After leaving the imperial study room, both Zhuge Zheng and Huang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Yan is okay to say.

He couldn't flatter, but he didn't want to be photographed on the horse's leg. He was reprimanded severely by Li Tian, ​​and he wanted to attack those who had just received the money, which made it very difficult for him.

But this was Li Tian's order, and he had to do it again.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhuge Zhengyou moved Li Qing out and diverted Li Tian's attention a little bit, which allowed him to breathe a little bit more and think about how to deal with this matter in order to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

But Zhuge Zheng's mind was a little more complicated.

As a seventh-rank supervisory censor, he originally had the power to supervise all officials.

But impeaching his chief official, his immediate boss, no matter his qualifications or his sophistication, no matter how he looks at it, he is a generation who has forgotten his ancestors.

But he also had to do it.

Although the matter of Lu Zhen's corruption had nothing to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate when he was the Minister of Rites.

But some time ago, because Yu Jie'an was reused by Li Tian, ​​he was transferred to the judicial office chaired by Yang Shiqi.

Lu Zhen took the initiative to hand over the details and wrote the preface for his book "The Essentials for Officials".

Originally, it was a great appreciation to him to be appreciated by a supervisor and write a preface for his book.

But who would have thought that the matter of Lu Zhen's corruption would actually happen at this time.

Although the matter between them is a private matter, there are not a few people who are aware of it by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Once someone catches this matter, why not charge him with colluding with Lu Zhen, plus the fact that he contradicted the emperor in the court and was punished some time ago, when the two things add up, he is really I can't turn over at all.

For him, who is only in his thirties, has just started his official career for a few years, and still has a bright future, he is not stingy with catastrophe.

The reason why he risked his life to expose this matter was to win Li Tian's attention to him.

Fortunately, his revelation this time really made Li Tian furious, and he was completely in Li Tian's eyes.

Next, no matter how Huang Yan's Dongchang investigation goes, no matter whether someone reports on his relationship with Lu Zhen afterwards, he is still in the emperor's heart, so he can rest easy.

Both of them are thinking about each other, but they both seem very relaxed.

Walk and chat.

Huang Yan smiled and cupped his hands at Zhuge Zheng, "I haven't congratulated Zhuge Yushi yet, but the accusation is meritorious. No matter what the result is, Zhuge Yushi has been completely remembered by His Majesty, and his great success is just around the corner!"

Zhuge Zheng received Huang Yan's compliment, he had a handsome face and smiled like a flower.

On the lips, he said very modestly, "It is my duty to monitor the words and deeds of the officials, but Governor Huang is trusted by His Majesty to undertake such a major event, which shows that the Holy Family is prosperous!"

Huang Yan curled his lips secretly when he heard the words, and said to himself, "You didn't see His Majesty's previous reprimand to me, saying that being with the king is like being with a tiger. This statement is sincere and does not deceive me."

"Where is it, our family only knows to serve His Majesty faithfully, and we don't dare to think too much about credit."

Originally, Zhuge Zheng, who was the supervisory censor, looked down on Huang Yan, who was so eloquent and greedy, but Li Tian asked him to investigate the matter with Huang Yan, even for his own official career. Don't temporarily wrong yourself and make friends with Huang Yan.

In fact, not only him, but almost all civil servants who are capable and pretentious, look down on these eunuchs very much.

Although there is no such thing as the eunuch party at this time, privately, the civil servants still don't have a good impression of this kind of people. Even if there are civil servants who make friends with eunuchs, they will definitely be abandoned by the civil servants.

This time Zhuge Zheng was risking his life for his own future, but even so, his attitude towards Huang Yan was very measured. After exchanging a few words with him and discussing the next investigation, he found a From the beginning, leave in a hurry.

Looking at Zhuge Zheng's leaving back, Huang Yan spit secretly with a cold face.

"What, I really think that our family thinks highly of you by complimenting you, and even supervises the censor. Pooh, if you are really an upright and good official, why would you have done it long ago..."

……

After Li Tian dealt with the memorial for a while in the imperial study, he finally finished all the official business.

Seeing that Wang Fu, who was standing by, was about to doze off.

He stretched his muscles and asked Wang Fu,
"Tomorrow should be the time for the opening of the bank!"

When Wang Fu heard that Li Tian actually asked about the matter he was responsible for, he immediately regained his energy.

He said loudly, "Return to Your Majesty, it is tomorrow, and the old slave has already arranged everything properly, and I guarantee everything will be safe."

Li Tian chuckled, thinking that as long as the bank opened, he would have a steady stream of money for his squandering, so he couldn't help but feel happy.

He said happily, "Finally, there is something comforting."

"The Royal Bank is a major event among major events. You must not be careless. I can entrust this matter to you because you are cautious and loyal to me."

"If there are serious consequences caused by your sloppyness, what will happen to you, presumably, you should understand even if I don't tell you!"

Hearing what Li Tian said was so serious, Wang Fu immediately fell to his knees in fright, and kept saying, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"

After sitting for several hours in a row, my back hurts.

As Li Tian walked out, he said to him, "Get up, and accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk, I still have something to ask you."

Wang Fu hurriedly got up and helped him, but Li Tian didn't care, and walked slowly towards the Royal Garden with his support.

As he walked, he asked Wang Fu, "Where is Guo Liuhu now?"

Slightly taken aback, Wang Fu replied gratefully,

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty. Since a while ago, His Majesty planned to make Guo Dachou the second treasurer of the bank, the old slave made his own claim and took Guo Dacroo over. He is temporarily staying in the bank outside the palace."

"Oh, you really have a heart."

I couldn't see what Li Tian meant by this.

Wang Fu said cautiously, "Your Majesty, forgive me. The old slave is only worried that Guo Dakuo, who is over 70 years old, won't be able to withstand the hardships of the prison, so he asked him to help take care of him outside the palace."

Li Tian smiled and said, "Look at you like that, and I didn't say that you are not allowed to do this."

"That's good, let him familiarize himself with the situation first, so that he won't be in a hurry to spoil my important affairs, which is not good."

Hearing what Li Tian said, Wang Fu finally felt relieved, and hurriedly said,
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. After all, Guo Dazhuo is also an old man who has served under the masters of the palace for decades. He will never make any mistakes in managing a bank, let alone his hands."

Nodding his head, he recognized Wang Fu's words.
