After the banquet, the court returned to calm again, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Many officials in the court had already taken a clear stand. Generally speaking, it was still Wan Huojing and the others.
One faction has the largest number of people, and most of the people in this faction are already members of the pro-army Duwei Mansion.
The court returned to peace, and Zeng Yi also began to continue his career of experimenting with medicine. The effects of the body-building pill gradually became apparent. Zeng Yi's Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu improved every day. Zeng Yi's self-feeling and defense improved a lot.
However, the peaceful days were broken by something after a few days. The cause was caused by the player. I didn’t know that the crazy poor guy gathered a group of people and actually robbed a county magistrate who was about to take office. He didn’t get any money.
However, due to their actions, a series of things happened.
The county magistrate was once a petty official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, which was in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters. It was a well-paid job. The county magistrate did not live up to the job. He was a small official.
The officials made a lot of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. This guy was also very smart. Recently, the struggle for the right to inherit the throne in the imperial court had intensified. He sensed the dangerous atmosphere in the imperial court now, so he gritted his teeth and took out a large sum of money and bribed an official from the Ministry of Finance.
Officials, transferred themselves out of the capital and went to work in the Jiangnan area.
But halfway through, they were robbed by blind players. Those players naturally had no good end and had already been arrested by the Six Doors police. However, during the investigation, Six Doors also learned about this because of this matter.
The prefect was actually very rich. For a small official in the capital to be so rich, he obviously wasn't following the right path. The local police officers at Liumen didn't think much about it and reported it to the headquarters.
If there was any slight disturbance in the atmosphere in the capital, everyone would know it. The magistrate who died was once an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now he was caught by someone from another faction. In the morning of the next day, he participated in the Household Affairs Bureau.
The memorial from the Ministry was delivered to the emperor's bedside like snowflakes.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Wan Huojing and the others, but it turned out that the person bribed by the county magistrate was a member of Wan Huojing's faction, and he was also someone who had joined the pro-army Duwei Mansion.
Now Wan Huojing and others cannot ignore it. Those officials who have just been recruited, this person must be rescued by the pro-military governor's mansion, otherwise the confidence they have just gathered will be hit again. After all, they followed you, you
You have to ensure people's safety.
When Zeng Yi heard the news, he couldn't help but cursed: "Mader, you are looking for trouble!"
The emperor's attitude was also very subtle. He probably wanted to beat the officials, so he actually ordered the six gates to investigate the matter. Fortunately, there was no county magistrate there, and he was killed by the player on the spot. Otherwise, the guy from the official department would have been exposed.
Zeng Yi took the risk and went to see Wan Huojing and the guy from the official department. After listening to the man's detailed explanation, he frowned and said: "Fortunately, you didn't do anything illegal, you just acted within a reasonable reason."
It’s just that I gave that person the best place within the scope! As long as the Six Doors don’t find out about you accepting bribes, you’ll be safe!”
"I'm just afraid that Liumen will find out. Mr. Ni was once a member of the Imperial Guard, so he should know what these people are capable of!" the official from the Ministry of Personnel said anxiously.
"Don't panic. In fact, this matter is not what it sounds like. In order to weaken the power of the Ministry of Revenue, you just happened to be involved. As long as we prepare in advance, you will have no problem."
"Then, what do you think we should do?"
Zeng Yi smiled: "It's easy to say. If you mess up the situation, no one will do anything to see the other person. Isn't that just hurting each other!"
In fact, Zeng Yi's plan is very simple. As long as the three factions attack each other and the situation becomes chaotic, I believe no one really wants to injure the enemy by one thousand and lose himself by eight hundred.
If one group seizes the excuse to attack the household department, then Zeng Yi will find a way to seize the excuse of other departments and attack him. In this way, the three factions attack each other, and in the end they can only end it.
If you want to seize the handle of other departments, Zeng Yi will definitely have to take action, and there is no more suitable candidate than him. For this reason, Zeng Yi can only take out the little blue pill again and start selling it everywhere.
Within a few days, Zeng Yi hooked up with a Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites, who was also a supporter of the Crown Prince. After hooking up with this guy, Zeng Yi began to collect dirty information about him. With the cooperation of people from the pro-military Duwei Mansion,
, and with cheating martial arts like Soul Transfer**, it is actually not too difficult to collect dirty information about a member of the Ministry of Etiquette.
The Minister of Rites is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He is responsible for the five rites: auspicious, honorable, military, guest, and inauspicious. He manages national school affairs, imperial examinations, and the affairs of the vassal and foreign countries. The Ministry of Rites consists of four divisions: the Rituals and Regulations Department, the Qing Officials Department, and the Jia Li Department.
, military etiquette and management of academic affairs, imperial examination affairs; temple ceremony and official affairs, in charge of auspicious and unlucky etiquette affairs; host and guest official affairs, guest etiquette and reception of foreign guests; fine dining and official affairs, banquet and food
affairs.
And the Minister of Etiquette, Wailang, who was hooked up by Zeng Yi, was the official responsible for hosting and guests, and was in charge of guest etiquette and reception of foreign guests. Originally, Zeng Yi wanted to collect some dirty information about that guy and release it. But he did not expect that this collection would
, unexpectedly revealed a big secret!
This minister of etiquette, Wailang, was in charge of guest etiquette and reception of foreign guests. He mainly dealt with envoys from other countries. After some investigation, Zeng Yi found that this guy secretly worked with envoys from several countries around the Central Plains, such as Tubo and other countries in the Xixia grassland.
The relationship is very good.
You must know that the relationship between the Western Xia grassland, Tubo, Persia and other countries is somewhat hostile to the Central Plains. Even now the two sides are still facing off at the border. He, a court official, secretly maintains a good relationship with the envoys of the hostile country. This is a bit strange.
It's not normal anymore.
Zeng Yi decided to dig deeper to see what secrets there were, so Zeng Yi sent people from the pro-military captain's mansion to keep an eye on the guy for 24 hours. The result surprised Zeng Yi. One night, a man appeared behind the scenes.
The first-class masters in night clothes sneaked to that guy's mansion. Fortunately, the masters from the pro-military captain's mansion hid well, otherwise they would have been discovered by the first-class masters in black clothes.
When they saw the unidentified man in black, the masters of the pro-military captain's mansion were also shocked. When they decided to follow the man in black, the man in black ran out not long after he entered. Later, the masters of the pro-military captain's mansion
After telling Zeng Yi that the man in black was at the residence of Wai Lang, the minister of courtesy, he went to the residence of the Xixia envoy.
"Envoy from Xixia! Damn it, that guy must be a traitor!"
