He suddenly felt a little regretful about taking over the hot potato of the Prime Minister. Didn't he know that the previous Prime Minister took office because the affairs of the Ministry of Finance were not clear and he did not want to get himself involved in the whirlpool?
The affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs seem to be a departmental issue, but in fact, the Ministry of Household Affairs is related to six other departments, including the imperial government's government allocations, the food and grass allocations for frontier soldiers, and the salaries of court officials...
Each one seems insignificant, but in fact they are inextricably related.
The Ministry of Revenue is in financial difficulty and corruption is serious. Wherever it is just the people in the Ministry of Revenue who are corrupt, I am afraid that all the officials in the entire court are corrupt.
Three years as prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
He had served as a local official and naturally knew how serious local corruption was.
However, local corruption is for bribing superior officials, exploiting people at all levels, from top to bottom, with interconnected interests, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.
As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. At this time, no matter what kind of awkward hatred these interest groups have, they can put it aside at this moment. Because at that time, they had a common enemy - Gong Tianze.
When he became prime minister at a young age, there were already a group of people who disliked him, and he had already blocked the way of many people.
But now, he wanted to search the account books of the Ministry of Accounts, which really angered a group of lions.
Even if Gong Tianze is a tiger, he can only fight alone. How can he defeat a group of lions?
Despite all the precautions, in the end, someone took advantage of the loopholes.
"I thought I was really going to die at that time, but I was fine. I was just worried that I would harm my family. You were just born at that time!"
Gong Tianze looked at Gong Yueyue and said.
"You were still little at that time, just such a small ball!"
Gong Tianze gestured as he spoke. His long and messy hair blocked his face. Gong Yueyue couldn't see Gong Tianze's face clearly, but she could tell that he must be smiling.
"What happened next?"
Gong Yueyue asked.
"Later -"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, forming a continuous sheet, blurring the vision.
A killer said: "Stop talking nonsense and send him on his way!"
The four killers gradually approached.
A generation of young and dignified prime ministers are about to die here.
God is really going to destroy us, and no one can stop it!
At this critical moment, a person suddenly appeared.
In just a few blows, it was the killers who fell in the rain.
It was so thrilling, Gong Tianze never thought that he could save his life at such a moment.
"It's you!"
Gong Tianze looked at the visitor in surprise.
"Hero, you saved Gong's life again!"
Anyone who is saved by the same person twice in a short period of time will be grateful.
Gong Tianze is no different. Jianghu people value loyalty, and scholars value repaying kindness. It was natural for the two of them to meet and exchange names. Later, they just let nature take its course and got to know each other. They were invited to the house to drink and eat meat, which was very pleasant.
If the story ended here, it couldn't be more perfect.
But if that were the case, Gong Tianze wouldn't be locked up here.
You come and go, even if you were defensive, you should let go. The two of them often admired the moon, drank wine, and composed poems. Gong Tianze had already regarded Yinqi as his confidant.
It's just that people's hearts are separated from each other, and they know people but not their hearts. Who knew he would have such a vicious heart?
Gong Tianze said: "It's my fault that I don't recognize people well and I lured the wolf into the house."
It turns out that the main courtyard caught fire, so reconstruction and repairs were inevitable. Yin Qi said: "Brother Gong, I have a friend who is very good at construction. If you don't mind, brother, I will definitely invite him to come and build an excellent residence for Brother Gong.
"
Whether the residence is excellent or not is not very important to a passionate young man like Gong Tianze who is devoted to the people. However, he could not help Yin Qi's face, so he nodded in agreement and left all matters to Yin Qi.
Qi Lai handles it.
Gong Tianze turned to Gong Yueyue and said: "The study has been completed. It is a separate house. It looks quite unique and has all kinds of clever features. I am indeed very satisfied."
"I just didn't expect that this place would become my prison!"
As he spoke, Gong Tianze smiled bitterly. His voice was hoarse. After talking for so long, he almost lost his voice completely.
Gong Yueyue can imagine the scene when the study was built——
"Brother Yin, this building is really unique!"
Gong Tianze looked at the completed study building with curiosity and admiration.
Yin Qi smiled while carefully introducing the wonders and tricks of the small building.
"Hey, I actually built a basement. This is one of the many times I've done it."
Gong Tianze sighed with a bit of surprise.
Yinqi's mouth grinned even wider, like a poisonous snake, opening its mouth wide and spitting out the letter, revealing two pointed fangs.
"Haha, why is it unnecessary?"
Yin Qi said meaningfully.
"Okay, Brother Yin just wants to ask, does Brother Gong still like it here?"
The venomous snake's fangs were exposed, and even drops of venom came out. But Gong Tianze didn't notice it at all, and nodded happily: "Haha, thank you Brother Yin, Gong is very satisfied!"
As he spoke, he bent down and bowed.
At this critical moment, Yinqi opened the mechanism, and Gong Tianze fell into this secret basement.
But Gong Yueyue still didn't understand why Yinqi did this. If he wanted to replace him, why bother to sacrifice the near and far, why not just kill the person directly?
Gong Tianze shook his head and said, "Maybe you want the account book in my hand!"
"Account book? Is it the account book of the Accounts Department?"
Gong Yueyue asked.
Even in such an environment, he can still be rational and clear-headed, calm and dignified, which shows how strong-willed he is.
The two fathers and daughters recognized each other, strange yet familiar, but gradually became speechless.
In such a dark underground secret room, even the concept of time gradually disappeared.
…………
Royal Palace.
The queen gave birth to a little princess. Although it was a pity that she was not a prince, after all, it was her first child and she was a legitimate child, so she would be the eldest princess.
Therefore, many dignitaries were invited to the full moon banquet.
It stands to reason that the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, but none of the female relatives of the Gong family can attend. Those born from concubines will definitely not be able to come. The first wife's eldest son was divorced from his biological mother, so naturally he cannot be regarded as the eldest son. As for Lin Jiaojiao's daughter, she is just
Children with bigger butts can also attend. So Lin Jiaojiao should have been able to attend, but Gong Tianze said that she was "unwell and might spread the disease to the princess" as an excuse, so naturally she couldn't attend.
In fact, who can't understand that although this banquet is a full moon banquet for the public, some people have already said in private that this is the queen and the emperor looking at the princess for Zhao Changyuan.
There are rumors that the emperor is more optimistic about the head of Heqing County. But hasn't this been decided yet? Since it hasn't been decided yet, then everything is possible.
And even if he can't become the main concubine, the prince still has two side concubines, who are also good as side concubines. (To be continued)
