The news of Huafu's release has spread throughout the country.
Yang Duanhe and other people who were familiar with Huafu immediately went to inquire about the situation.
Recently, there has been a big disturbance in the personnel of major departments in Xianyang. Except for those courtiers involved in Huang's fraud case, basically no courtiers in other major departments have been dismissed.
Huafu was exempted.
It can be said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Many officials are worried.
Hua Fu packed up his belongings and was about to leave the Censor's Mansion when he bumped into Yang Duanhe, Qiang Yu and others who were rushing over.
Hua Fu smiled and said:
"I took the initiative to resign from Your Majesty."
"I am nearly sixty years old, and my legs and feet have long been inconvenient due to my early years of fighting on the battlefield. Even if I want to continue working for His Majesty, I am really unable to do so. Taking advantage of the significant renovation of the court this time, I simply quit."
Yang Duanhe stared at Huafu suspiciously.
He knows Huafu.
Hua Fu is indeed an open-minded person, but it is obviously untenable to say that he does not love power. Not to mention that he still has two sons to take care of. Just say that he was idle by His Majesty and was left out for several years. If he really had the idea
I already quit back then, so why wait until now?
As for being nearly sixty and having inconvenient legs and feet, this is even more nonsense.
Li Si, Yao Jia, Dun Ruo, Zheng Guo and others were not older than Hua Fu. Hua Fu had been recuperating at home for several years, and his body was much stronger than the others.
His reason is totally untenable!
There must be something else hidden.
Yang Duanhe snorted coldly: "I've known you for decades, but I still don't know your temperament? Don't beat around the bush and tell me, what's the reason?!"
Hua Fu's face twitched.
He glanced around, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Censor's Mansion is full of people."
Yang Duanhe frowned.
The Censor's Mansion is full? What's the reason?
Isn't this normal?
And it’s not completed!
The Yushi Mansion is led by the Yushi doctor, and there are thirty censors under him. Last time Huang's fraud case, five censors were involved. Now all five of them have been deposed, but the official positions of these five censors are still there.
If it is vacant, how can it be said that it is full of people?
immediately.
Yang Duanhe was stunned.
He remembered what Hua Fu said. He took the initiative to ask for his resignation from His Majesty. That may be because His Majesty informed him of the situation. There was already a candidate for the vacancy in the Yushi Mansion, but it had not been announced yet. But what does this have to do with Hua Fu?
relation?
Yang Duanhe looked at Huafu carefully.
He knew that Hua Fu was not a man who was good at calculations, but he was not without his own little thoughts. He would never agree to give up his position for no reason, so Hua Fu must have made a compromise with His Majesty.
But who can make Huafu retreat so much?
Qin Luoheng?
Yang Duanhe hesitated and said: "Who do you want to give your position to?"
Hear the words.
Hua Fu's complexion changed slightly.
But he quickly returned to normal, had a laugh, and left straight away. However, Yang Duanhe kept staring at Hua Fu and naturally saw the strange look on Hua Fu's face, which made him more convinced of his thoughts.
Huafu must have reached some kind of agreement with His Majesty.
otherwise.
Hua Fu will never be dismissed from office.
However, Hua Fu remained silent, so he didn't ask too many questions. He chatted with the others for a few words and then returned to their respective offices.
...
The side hall of Yonggong Temple.
Hu Hai yawned, straightened his clothes, looked at Zhao Gao boredly, and said with a low expression: "Zhao Qing, why are you looking for me today?"
Zhao Gao admonished: "Sir, you have been too indulged in pleasure during this period."
Hu Hai said dissatisfied: "I can't get married for more than three months, can't I have my own life? What's more, in the past few months, I haven't stopped practicing calligraphy, and I haven't stopped visiting my father. Where did you start talking about enjoying yourself?
?”
Zhao Gao said with gloomy eyes:
"The young master is newly married, and I dare not dissuade him."
"It's just that the big things are undecided now, and it's far from time to enjoy ourselves."
"In the past few months, the wind and rain in Xianyang have suddenly changed. The ten young masters, who were originally menacing, have been in trouble one after another. Your Majesty is not happy. The eldest son is trapped in the Chu land and will not be able to come back for a short time. In the court, he is the only one who loves you.
still."
"Young master just didn't do enough!"
"Now His Majesty wants to significantly update the court, and the official positions of many courtiers have begun to change. At present, it is only the major official offices. In time, it will definitely affect the three princes and nine ministers. At present, the other princes are weak, but the prince is the only one who is not affected."
"Why do you hesitate to take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
"When I came, I also heard the news that Huafu was dismissed from office. Although I don't know what your Majesty meant, this may be a rumor that your Majesty deliberately spread, that is, to tell the courtiers that the chief officials of various major government agencies have also
It’s time for change.”
"Young Master is weak and weak, so you should seize this opportunity."
"There are only a few people in the Young Master's court such as Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hai and the ministers, but the Wang family that the Young Master married has great influence. Why don't you do a favor at this time and recommend people who are close to the Wang family to Your Majesty?
If Mr. Shi informs this matter, he will definitely win the favor of these officials."
"Besides."
"I also have some close ministers around me."
"My younger brother Zhao Jia has a good temperament, and his son-in-law Yan Le is willing to work hard for the young master. The young master can also recommend one or two. The current situation in the court is unclear. If the young master can help one or two in the court, not only will it be possible
It can make people want to see it in a different light, and it will be of great benefit to the young master in the future."
"What do you think, Master?"
Zhao Gao bowed very low.
Hu Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "I also want to increase my influence in the court, but only my father can make the decision on the transfer of officials. Even if I recommend him, it will be useless, right?"
Zhao Gao shook his head and said:
"Young Master, what you said is wrong."
"The layout of the court is still unclear. At present, only the eldest son and the tenth son are competing. The other young masters have long been reduced to spectators. Everyone knows this, and your majesty also knows that if the young master recommends some people at this time, there may be unexpected benefits.
.”
"after all......"
"Both the eldest son and the tenth son are not happy with it."
"The number of people recommended by the Young Master is not many, only a few, and the impact on the court is very small. Furthermore, last time the Huang family committed fraud, many officials were deposed and dismissed, and many official positions were vacant. Your Majesty may also have a headache with officials.
It’s your choice.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Young master is helping your majesty to solve his problems."
"I have never advised you to fight head-on, but this moment is not the same. Now the eldest son is far away in the Chu land, and the tenth son has been left out to farm. There is no one in the court who can compare with the master. The master is now
Showing a little ambition is not a bad thing."
"On the contrary, it will make His Majesty look at you."
"Furthermore, the young master only shows a slight edge, but in fact he is still not as good as the eldest young master and the tenth young master. Others still don't take the young master seriously, but with this coming and going, the young master's influence in the court has really improved.
"
"What the young master has to do is to fight against the sun!"
"After accumulating advantages little by little, the Tenth Young Master got into trouble one after another, and the Eldest Young Master's philosophy has always been contrary to His Majesty's. As time goes by, Your Majesty will definitely become more and more disgusted with the Eldest Young Master and the Tenth Young Master. When these two Young Masters make mistakes, Young Master is even more disgusted.
We must be active and do not seek merit, but we must show positivity and care for His Majesty.”
"Don't miss this opportunity!"
Hu Hai slightly raised his forehead.
He said in a deep voice:
"What Zhao Qing said is absolutely true."
"Right now, all the other brothers are unable to succeed, but I am the only one who still retains his favor and trust. If I don't seize this rare blank period, I don't know how long I will have to wait if I want to take a step further in the future."
"Please Zhao Qing teach me."
Zhao Gao took a deep breath and muttered: "I have inquired about the Tenth Young Master in the past few days. He is ordering people to sell wild vegetables in the city, but there are only a few people buying them. The Tenth Young Master is indeed somewhat quick-witted. He is ordering people to sell wild vegetables while introducing them.
How to prepare wild vegetables.”
"I specially ordered someone to buy some and cooked them according to the method he said. The taste of these two kinds of wild vegetables is indeed better than that of Wucai. You can offer these two kinds of wild vegetables, but you have to offer the cooked products."
Hu Hai's face darkened slightly.
Surprised and said:
"Zhao Qing is joking?"
"Aren't you asking me to help Brother Ten?"
Zhao Gao laughed and said:
"It's a 'gang', but it's a 'anti-gang'."
"Young master, you don't know something. Your Majesty has always disliked young masters who are uneducated and incompetent. The tenth master has been living abroad for these years and has learned a lot from heretics. Therefore, your majesty put him in the school and wanted him to take a good look at it.
It’s just that I didn’t get what I wanted.”
"Now Your Majesty doesn't like the Tenth Young Master at all. The more you praise the wild vegetables that the Tenth Young Master grows, the more he admires it. Your Majesty will become more disgusted with what the Tenth Young Master has done. And if the Tenth Young Master wants to win your Majesty's favor again, then
Difficult."
"Besides."
"Your Majesty does not know that the young master knows that Qin Luoheng is the tenth young master, so the young master's praise of the tenth young master is undoubtedly sincere in the eyes of your majesty. Even if your majesty is angry, he will not be angry with the young master, and will even praise him."
"After the Tenth Young Master's name is corrected, the Young Master's affairs will become a good talk. When people spread the word, the Young Master will receive a lot of praise."
Hear the words.
Hu Hai also laughed.
smiled and said:
"Wonderful!"
"What Zhao Qing said is true."
"As I live in the palace, it is naturally impossible for me to know about these wild vegetables, so when I present them, I can mention the names of other officials and say that these wild vegetables are donated by them. I just think these wild vegetables taste good, so I cook them specially.
Dedicate it to your father."
"color!!!"
Zhao Gao smiled brightly and said: "Young master is a great talent, but I didn't expect this. I'm really ashamed."
Hu Hai laughed, looking quite impressed.
He smiled and said:
"Just a little inspiration is nothing."
"You will bring the dishes later, and I will send them to the young master's house for them to cook properly. When it is time to eat, I will personally deliver them to my father."
Zhao Gao bowed and said, "I'm leaving."
Finished.
Zhao Gao slowly retreated.
When he walked outside the palace, the smile on Zhao Gao's face faded, and his eyes became extremely gloomy. He looked back at the solemn Yong Temple, with a hint of disdain on his lips.
Then he strode towards the outside of the palace.
soon.
He sent radishes and cabbage to the palace.
Hu Hai stayed at the Shaofu for a while, then walked briskly towards Xianyang Palace, carrying a rice basket.
the other side.
Zhao Gao left the palace and walked straight to the west of the city.
Finally, he stopped in front of a dilapidated house filled with firewood.
He looked at it with disgust, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in.
