Chapter 471 Liu Song has a way

At sunset.

The bustle in the inner city of Yingtian City seemed to be tilted and slowly moved towards the outer city.

Zhao Zheng's free clinic stall also became quiet.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

"Go back early and avoid spicy food for a month!"

The last patient left the stall, and Zhao Zheng smiled and waved goodbye to him.

"There's no one left! There's no one left! He's done!"

Seeing that Zhao Zheng had finally finished his work, he finally dared to make some noise in the imperial city.

The sounds of people, footsteps, sedan chairs, and carriages seemed to have been opened.

It's just that these usually annoying noises appear so orderly at this moment.

"The chief of the five yamen bids farewell to Mr. Zhao!"

"The Minister of the Fifth Department of Yamen bids farewell to Mr. Zhao!"

"The officials of the Wufu Yamen bid farewell to Mr. Zhao!"

"kindness!"

As the movement approached, it turned out that those voices were officials who were blocked in the road and did not dare to get off work early, but also did not dare to take detours and lacked a sense of presence.

Facing the officials, big and small, who came forward to say goodbye to him in order, Zhao Zheng also gave them smiles, but he couldn't say as many words.

For these officials, it is naturally impossible for them to have any idea about this difference.

Most of the principals only regretted that their pace was too slow, but they did not dare to run. A small number of ministers and bearers were also following.

Only the officials in the carriage, who constituted a majority, dared to take their time.

He even had time to watch those guys running fast and smoking, mentally jotting them down one by one for later, and occasionally joking with those officials who were also walking slowly.

"Taishun Fu managed the officials of the five ministries to be obedient just for a single case. It really puts us to shame!"

"Yes, I'm just wondering why all the officials under my command today are not as sloppy as in the past."

"Hahaha, that is your own problem with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs. How come I and Shangshu Xie are not careless? The camp of the Ministry of Industry has even moved outside the city. Why don't any of them dare to be careless?"

The previous wave of excitement dissipated.

Lu Shang, the Minister of Hubu, together with the other three ministers, was the last to leave the imperial city.

Facing the wry smiles of Liu Song, the Minister of Personnel, and Teng Defeng, the Minister of War, he and Jie Jin, the Minister of Rites, made a mockery without saying anything.

The two ministers, Liu and Teng, looked at each other and their bitter smiles became even bitterer.

Difficult.

Because for Teng Defeng, now that the Ministry of War has him as Minister, it is basically the same as not having him.

The power of the Ministry of War was originally in the hands of the Wufu Yamen opposite the Wubu Yamen, and in the hands of nobles, that is, it was all in the hands of His Majesty.

But it turns out that he can still take care of things at least, and he is as big as a fist.

But who knows, later on the cabinet came into operation and took away the last fist.

From here on down, the Minister of War becomes the Minister, and the Minister becomes the Minister.

Things have not become less, but the power has become smaller, and the Ministry of War has completely become a civilian.

But compared to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War is better than anything else.

Because more and more official duties of the officials are visible to the naked eye.

Do they have great power? big!

But it can’t stand up to the number of projects popping up all over the world!

When the Nanhe incident occurred, Nanhe could still be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for coordination, but other Chief Secretaries could not.

In addition, the railway project has always needed people, and the cement official roads of other chief secretaries will need people later. The kings will reach out for people when they see it. This does not include the vacancy in Shuchuan that will be proposed at the court meeting tomorrow!

Yes, many problems are actually not problems of the officials and are not under their control.

But people are in their charge.

In the other five departments, and even in the kings and palaces, they would look for people on errands, and looking for people would most likely mean finding them.

But why is it so easy to give to people? If you give to people slowly, to the wrong people, to bad people, it becomes their fault...

In a daze, both Liu and Teng seemed to see tears shining in each other's eyes.

"Ashamed!"

After the tears responded to each other, they turned into a sigh.

"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen."

Zhao Zheng couldn't see with his eyes closed, but he could guess the expressions of these two poor people, but he didn't say much as he did when he faced Tu Jie before.

After all, it seemed like they were the only ones around, but that was not the case in those dark corners.

So even if there are half of the people in front of you, you can only wait passively.

And Lu Shang and the others are actually waiting.

There were five people at the scene, and three of them were not in a hurry, just waiting for the anxious fish to take the bait.

Then, Liu Song and Teng Defeng, who just looked at each other with tears in their eyes, are naturally the fish.

"..."

We had agreed to go together before, but why did you start admiring the air just after you walked out of a door?

Among the two, Teng Defeng, the Minister of War, just had nothing to do, and his anxiety could be relieved a little.

Liu Song, the Minister of Rites, was different.

After the court meeting tomorrow, he will start selecting officials again, but now the Ministry of Personnel still has a ridiculous amount of extra rosters.

So he gritted his teeth and chose to activate the map cannon, focusing on one that no one would even think about having an easy time with!

"Lv Gong, the prince will ask you to pay money from the household department at tomorrow's meeting. Isn't the bank account of the household department in a hurry?"

"Lao Jie, the Sun and Moon Ceremony is not in a rush anyway. Isn't it time for the main forces that were transferred from various ministries to come back?"

"Teng Shangshu, do you want everyone in the Ministry of War to be just clerks from now on? Going to court means getting off work?"

"Master Zhao! Taisun Fu! You happen to have the king's whip, and these three ministers are bullying me! I really don't have anyone in my hands. You know, this hen has to squat for several days to hatch eggs. What’s more, they are human beings, please give them a whip!”

After the map cannon, Liu Song just cried.

This time, not only Lu Shang and the others, but also Zhao Zheng were stunned.

Is it so stressful?

"Ahem, Grandson Fu! In fact, the four of us came to see you specially."

"Sincerity Marquis is already half-retired, and Mr. Liu De is now in the cabinet. We also want to share the prince's worries."

"So after much deliberation, we have no choice but to come to you."

Lu Shang and Lu Shang did not expect this wave of map cannons from Liu Song, the official secretary, so now it is their turn to calm down.

"kindness!"

Teng Defeng on the side was afraid that Zhao Zheng wouldn't feel his nod, so he made a special sound.

"this......"

"But Zhao is just a broken body. Fortunately, thanks to the grace of His Majesty the Crown Prince, he has the title of Taisunfu. How can he be qualified to participate in court affairs?"

"Why don't the ministers go to the former prime minister Li Shan and Li Gong to ask?"

Naturally, Zhao Zheng would not agree directly.

"plum......"

The four of them looked at each other and saw the ugly expressions on each other's faces.

Although Li Shan is still alive and will definitely find a solution, as early as when Hu Yong's incident occurred, he was directly demoted to a white body and kept in captivity by Emperor Zhu Chongba.

How dare they touch this taboo.

Even now, even saying names is taboo.

"Grand Master! Please don't make things difficult for us."

Finally, Liu Song, the official minister, who was anxious about how to spend tomorrow, took the initiative.

Lu Shang's explanation of Jindu seemed to be delayed for a moment. As for Teng Defeng, he saw some clues from the side, so he didn't show it either.

"Taishun Fu! If you have a high opinion, Liu will have a way for you to go to court in a reasonable and legal manner! As long as you nod!"
