"Ministry of Rites? Why did the Ministry of Rites get involved?"

When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he was puzzled and asked.

It turned out that when the struggle between the Crown Prince and King Xuan was in full swing, the six departments in the Dajing Dynasty were almost completely divided between them.

Looking around, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK are either members of the prince's gang or subordinates of King Xuan. It is rare that they can remain invincible and keep the black hat on their heads without taking sides or expressing their opinions.

Like Wu Jingmo's father, Jing Zhaoyin, a small fifth-rank official, had never received much attention in the Dajing Dynasty where dignitaries and celebrities gathered, but they were already struggling to survive.

Therefore, Wu Renzhong has always been tepid, not seeking promotion, but seeking peace without merit or demerit.

However, the overall situation has changed now. Looking at the current six divisions, what is the division of power? New changes are quietly taking place unknowingly, and it is still unknown that such new sect members have been secretly spawned.

Lu Chengfeng and Tian Zifang worked together to carefully examine the ins and outs of the wealth and background of the top six.

Lu Chengfeng counted on his fingers and said:

"Under the prime minister, there are six departments: personnel, household, ritual, military, punishment, and work. Each department has four divisions, a total of twenty-four divisions. Let's talk about the official department first. Wang Shipu, the official secretary of the official department, was also from the princeling lineage before.

An important role. I heard that it was a great move left by the late queen for the prince."

"Well, when I, Tian, ​​was traveling around the world, I heard some unofficial history about officials. It was said that Mr. Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the dynasty, was actually the late empress's childhood sweetheart. It was through the late empress's clever trick that he became an official. Once he entered the dynasty,

I got a good job as a clerk in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is a good government office that no one can get into even if they spend thousands of taels of gold!"

Tian Zifang interrupted urgently.

Thinking of his childhood sweetheart naturally makes people think a lot. How could he not tell such interesting secret anecdotes and quickly share them with his good brother.

After Lu Chengfeng said "Ah" in surprise, he nodded again, lowered his head and pondered, and continued:

"Well, since Wang Shipu entered the court, he has indeed been serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, from being an official to being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Over the years, he has been firmly in charge of the promotion, removal, appointment and removal of civil and military officials, as well as the selection of talents for the imperial examination.

Guankou can be said to be the first among the six ministerial books."

"That's not the case! In this court, all the officials, big and small, who are running for and selling out their posts and getting titles, can't rely on this big Buddha like him? Even if we, Mr. Wu, are as honest and self-disciplined as we are, we still have to look at his face.

Acting? This Wang Shipu is so powerful!"

Tian Zifang didn't seem to have a good face when talking about Mr. Wang.

It seems that the head of the official department has a bad reputation among the people. He is worthy of being the main force of the princelings.

Lu Chengfeng saw this and continued his analysis:

"He belongs to the prince. When the prince was in glory, he was the one who was under Tang Yuanzhi. However, now that the prince is at the end of his life, he, as the old man left by the late empress for the prince, may not be able to pick him off."

If you clarify your relationship, you won’t be able to change your stance for a while!”

Lu Chengfeng murmured in his mouth and nodded to himself, confirming his inference first.

Since ancient times, when serving as an official in the government, the most lucrative positions are related to personnel and finance.

To put it bluntly, those who manage people and those who manage money, wherever they go

They are the two with the most power.

"Then let's talk about the next one, the Minister of Hubu. I have heard that at that time, the Minister of Hubu was in charge of money and food affairs, and his pockets were tighter than anyone else! There are rumors in the capital that Li Fengnian, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu,

He is as eloquent as iron and as cunning as a fox, and he is a good settler! No one can match his shrewdness!"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and remembered the name of Li Fengnian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He himself is a person who is obsessed with pornographic things, so Li Fengnian's name can be said to be very familiar to him!

In fact, Lu Chengfeng had long wanted to pay a visit to the legendary treasury head of the Dajing Dynasty, the most shrewd in the world, to see if he was worthy of his name and learn a thing or two from him.

It's just that I have been struggling with various affairs, and even after coming here for several months, I still haven't been able to achieve my long-cherished wish.

Lu Chengfeng was still thinking blankly when Tian Zifang sighed and said with a naive smile:

"Isn't that right? Li Fengnian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs! This name is really appropriate. My dear, our emperor is looking forward to a bumper harvest in our country every year! We have found someone with such an auspicious name as Li Fengnian to be the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

.There are good signs every year! Hahahahaha..."

"Hahaha, Brother Tian, ​​I think what you said is very reasonable! It turns out that a person's name can affect a person's destiny in this way! From this point of view, I think the name Lu Chengfeng is also quite good!

Look, the speedy son-in-law's ride is so graceful! Hahahahahahaha..."

As soon as Lu Chengfeng started joking, he couldn't keep it straight.

"Your Highness has been very happy recently, and it looks like you are about to have a romantic relationship again? It is true that a talented man has his own beauty! Your Highness has been favored by the beauty Xuanji before, and there is also the girl Qian who saved the beauty and followed you back home. There are also other people in the house.

Miss Xiaodie took care of her thoughtfully and thoughtfully, and recently she has found the purple-clothed fairy that she had longed to have a glimpse of! It is really gratifying, gratifying! Hahahaha..."

Tian Zifang followed Lu Chengfeng's words and laughed heartily.

It was originally a joke between brothers talking about women and romance, but it accidentally hit the most sensitive and uncomfortable corner of Lu Chengfeng's heart.

Lu Chengfeng's expression suddenly changed and he was speechless for a moment.

Tian Zifang, an idiot, had been talking and laughing to himself for a long time, and then he realized that Lu Chengfeng's reaction was not quite right.

He put a big palm on Lu Chengfeng's furry head, still laughing and teasing, and joked:

"Your Highness, is he lovesick? As he talks, his soul is following the beautiful figure of some girl! Hahahaha! How come someone in my field is not as lucky as you? He is already thirty.

, there is no girl who has taken a liking to me and is willing to follow me for the rest of her life! Your Highness, how about you please let me have your luck? Hehe..."

Lu Chengfeng didn't wait for Tian Zifang's big palm to rub against his fluffy hair, and he easily dodged it, trying his best to hide his unnatural expression.

As the final situation on Bai Yu's side was not yet clear, he could only try his best to restrain himself and not talk about his upcoming marriage to Princess Gu Lun of the Northern Kingdom.

Looking at the innocent smile on Tian Zifang's face, Lu Chengfeng knew that he must still be kept in the dark, probably because Wu Jingmo had been studying hard behind closed doors to thank guests recently, so Tian Zifang always accompanied him

The people on the left and right didn't go out for a walk anymore, so the news was blocked and they didn't know anything about it.

Thinking of this, in order to avoid telling Tian Zifang that his stupidity would accidentally be leaked to Wu Jingmo, thus disturbing his eldest brother's all-out offensive for the Spring Trial, Lu Chengfeng decided to keep his mouth shut.

.

So, he took a few deep breaths to calm down his mind, and then he pretended to be relaxed, catching Tian Zifang's words with a calm face, waving his eyebrows in an inappropriate way, and said with a smile:

"That's right! Young Master, I, Yushu Linfeng, is a charming and suave person who is known as the dream of 900,000 girls in Dajing Kingdom! Don't you envy me? Hahaha, when will you go to Tianxiang Tower with me? What will you do when you get there?

I understand everything! Hahahahaha..."

As soon as Tian Zifang heard the words Tianxianglou, his face turned red from the corner of his eyes to the tip of his eyebrows to the root of his neck. He lowered his head, his eyes were intense but dodged, and he waved his hands repeatedly:

"Forget it, forget it, that's not the place for a rich and humble pauper like me! I won't go and embarrass His Highness."

When Lu Chengfeng saw his embarrassment, he laughed happily, touched his palm mysteriously in Tian Zifang's ear, and asked:

"Brother Tian, ​​I understand, I understand, hahahaha..."

The embarrassment on Tian Zifang's face became even worse. He seemed to be suddenly provoked by Lu Chengfeng's laughter. He glared angrily and said:

"Your Highness, don't think wrongly! Of course I, Tian, ​​am a normal man! Just go! Who is afraid of who?"

"That's right, Brother Tian, ​​you are working in the government now anyway, so you don't have to clean yourself up properly. You see, you can be regarded as a government official in the eyes of the people. You are still wearing the uniform even after taking off the armor of the government soldiers.

You who are dressed in coarse linen, look, you are still wearing this patched sweatshirt! You look so poor, if I were a girl, I would despise you!"

Lu Chengfeng gently picked up a small patch on Tian Zifang's shoulder with the tips of two fingers and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Tian Zifang's eyes were wet and he said emotionally:

"I won't change. These are the clothes my Xiao Yuan mended for me! I won't change any girl you give me!"

The words are simple, but every word is true.

When Lu Chengfeng saw the tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but lament in his heart, secretly feeling sorry for their brother-sister relationship.

To be honest, Tian Xiaoyuan died unjustly in his Xifu after all. After Lu Chengfeng became the crown prince, he felt ashamed. He was speechless for a moment, so he had to secretly think about helping Tian Zifang find a good girl and start a family as soon as possible.

Slowly wash away the grief of the deceased sister.

Tian Zifang is a man with a sincere heart, a chivalrous heart, and Lu Chengfeng understands him best.

Once the tears burst out, it would be difficult to hold them back for a while. Seeing that tears were about to burst out of his eyes, Lu Chengfeng quickly brought the topic back to the right track, returned to the topic, and asked:

"Brother Tian, ​​have you heard about the background of Li Fengnian, the Minister of Household Affairs? How can he keep a close eye on the money and food of our Dajing country?"

When Tian Zifang heard this, he sniffed, held back his tears, returned to his usual tough attitude, and answered seriously:
Chapter completed!
