The king behind the empress

Chapter 213

Faced with Li Zhe's face-to-face sarcasm, Qian Min, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but look even more gloomy, "Why, you think you're about to become the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, so you dare to come here and show your teeth to this old man?"

"Even when Du Xing was around, he didn't dare to shout in front of this old man. What are you?"

Qian Min spoke mercilessly, "Don't say you are not Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, even if you are, so what?"

"I want to challenge the old man, let's talk about it after you join the cabinet."

After finishing speaking, Qian Min ignored Li Zhe at all and walked away.

Li Zhe, who was directly humiliated, looked a little gloomy, but he was not too angry. The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household Affairs were at odds with each other for various reasons. Now that Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Du Xing, had fallen, some people in the Ministry of Punishment were unavoidably panicked.

Therefore, he deliberately came here to mock Qian Min, just to tell the people in the criminal department that he dared to confront Qian Min, so as to stabilize the people in the criminal department, so as long as he showed his attitude, he didn't really care whether he was scolded or not.

However, although he said he didn't care, the act of being pointed and scolded by Qian Min still made him feel a little uncomfortable. He looked at Qian Min's back and thought bitterly in his heart: "Duxing has fallen, you think Will Mo Zizai let you go?"

"Just wait, old dog, the day when your home will be ransacked is not far away. When that day comes, I'll see if you can still be so tyrannical."

On the other hand, Qian Min, who had scolded Li Zheyi, felt much more at ease, but comfort is comfort, and there is still a way to think about it.

After all, if everyone can come to the capital to sell grain, except for people from Jiangnan, then the aristocratic families in Jiangnan will definitely put pressure on him, so this matter has to be resolved.

Qian Min pondered for a while, and soon there was a solution. Since the Jiangnan grain merchants could not sell, it would be better not to come in the name of the Jiangnan grain merchants. There are so many states and counties around the canal, and only need to name them. It’s not enough to come to the capital to sell food under the banner.

Thinking about it, with his own status, no one dared not give himself face.

Thinking of this, Qian Min immediately made a decision in his heart. He decided to let Jiangnan transport grain to the capital as quickly as possible after returning. After all, the grain price is so high now, the sooner he arrives, the more he can earn.

……

After Mo Zizai returned to the palace, he immediately had someone find Song Hui.

"Grassman Song Hui, I have seen the prince."

Song Hui had transformed from a former broker in the capital to Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Looking at his appearance in official uniform, he really had the aura of an official.

Hearing Song Hui's self-proclaim, Mo Zizai couldn't help laughing, "You are already a Yuanwailang from the household department, and you are no longer a grassroots person."

"Crap... I'm used to it, and I won't be able to change it for a while."

Song Hui sneered and explained something.

"It's okay, just get used to it later."

Mo Zizai waved his hand and signaled Song Hui to sit down and talk, and then thought of what Song Hui did yesterday, he couldn't help laughing, "I asked you to be a member of the household department, but you are really ruthless. Let a few officials of the same level as you carry you to the post."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Song Hui's heart couldn't help but slightly lifted, but he saw that Mo Zizai's face seemed lifeless, and then he said with a smile: "This official is just taking advantage of the lord's power to pretend to be a tiger, and let the lord laugh at me." .”

After he took office yesterday, because he was promoted from a businessman, some officials in the household department looked down on him. Although because he was promoted by Mo Zizai, those people dared not speak ill of him, but behind It's okay to do some little things.

For example, transfer away the subordinates who should belong to him, assign him some novices who don't understand anything, and when the files are handed over, deliberately put away the archive directory, and give him a few large boxes of messy materials, let him Organize yourself and so on this series of small means.

Although these small tricks can't hurt people, they are extremely disgusting. If Song Hui can't solve these things properly, then he, Yuanwailang, won't have to do anything else in the future, just wait and sort out the information every day.

Therefore, when faced with these methods, Song Hui played a big game directly. He hung his seal on the beam of the house, patted his ass and left.

Hang the seal to resign, the master is quitting, you can play by yourself.

Song Hui's departure immediately made those who made things difficult for him panic in the household department. If Song Hui was an ordinary official, let alone hang the seal, no one would pay attention to you if you put your head on it.

But Song Hui is not, he was handpicked by Mo Zizai himself, you can look down on him, you can exclude him, you can isolate him, but you can't force him to resign.

Mo Zizai stuffed people into the household with his front feet, and you forced them away with his back feet. What do you mean? Do you look down on Mo Zizai? You still feel that it is not appropriate to put your head on your neck. You want to change it ?

Therefore, realizing the seriousness of the matter, the officials of the household department immediately put aside their identities and went to Song Hui's home, intending to invite Song Hui back to the household department.

In the end, Song Hui was even worse, pretending to be asleep in the bedroom, you shouting casually outside, if you can wake me up, you win.

Through the window of the bedroom, several household officials could clearly see Song Hui sleeping inside, but Song Hui lying on the bed seemed to be deaf. There was no movement from Song Hui.

Faced with this situation, even a fool would know that Song Hui was torturing them on purpose.

Therefore, when the yelling was fruitless, an official of the household department made a crooked move. He first called a sedan chair, and then let the bearers swarm up, entangled Song Hui's servants, and they broke into Song Hui's house. Hui's room, including the person and the quilt, were carried away, directly stuffed into the sedan chair, and the person was carried back to the household department abruptly.

After this incident, although Song Hui returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs again, no one dared to neglect him. Even if he looked down on Song Hui in his heart, he had to be respectful on the surface. Otherwise, if he resigned again, who would be punished? Got it.

"It is also a skill to understand the situation."

Mo Zizai has no objection to Song Hui's behavior. After all, his backer is himself, and it's normal to take advantage of his own situation. If you're not here, you can tell Jia Fu."

"Your Majesty understands."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Song Hui knew that Mo Zizai's thigh was holding him firmly, so he couldn't help feeling a little relaxed, and asked, "My lord, I don't know why you are looking for me."

"Do you know about the people in the capital rushing to buy food?"

"The officer knows."

Song Hui nodded and said, "Does the prince want to stabilize the price of grain? If so, you only need to sell the grain in the grain store, and the matter should be resolved."

"On the contrary."

Mo Zizai shook his head, and said in a stern tone, "This king wants you to drive up the price of grain, and the higher the price, the better."
