Chapter 799: Zero State
Chapter 799
Zhou Shuren snorted, "That's up to you."
The grandson-in-law he has a crush on will never let go easily.
Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren and Mr. Xiao went to the morning court together. After the morning court, Xiao Qing said: "When I am not in the capital, a lot of things happened in the capital."
Zhou Shuren, "When you come back, the Ministry of Household Affairs has its backbone, and no matter how many things happen, the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be involved."
Thinking of what the emperor said yesterday, Xiao Qing patted Zhou Shuren on the shoulder, "Do it well."
Zhou Shuren felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, "Yes."
Xiao Qing smiled, "I'm waiting for you to come back, these days are regarded as a vacation for you."
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart. He didn't think that leaving the Ministry of Households was a vacation, and the crown prince would not let him paddle. Zhou Shuren looked at the Minister of Rites, and he really expected the Minister of Rites to see him in the Ministry of Rites.
Xiao Qing was soon surrounded by other senior ministers, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites said, "Old Xiao, it doesn't matter whether you are in this household department or not. Your household department master Zhou is very capable."
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was too obvious to sow dissension, and several other Shangshu adults looked sideways.
Xiao Qing didn't care, he wished that Zhou Shuren would come up earlier, he moved his position, "Our household department is busy, I wish there were a few more people to help me share the burden, unlike Master Feng who is holding on to the power of the Ministry of Rites, it's not me Said, you also give some opportunities to the people below, if you don’t know, you think the surname of the Ministry of Rites is Feng.”
The smell of gunpowder was quite strong, Master Feng flicked his sleeves, "Master Xiao, it's better to speak with your head."
Xiao Qing, "Both and each other, brains are good things. Next time Mr. Feng wants to provoke, you'd better use your brains too."
Zhou Shuren smiled in his heart, there is no one to support the Minister of Rites, look, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is fiddling with the official sleeves, as if counting how many patterns there are, Master Li, the Minister of the Ministry of War, looks up at the sky, and the cloudless one does not know what to study.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is chatting with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. These two departments rarely deal with each other. It is quite lively to be able to chat together!
Other officials who went to the court, those with small official positions, had long since disappeared when they saw that things were not good. The grand scholars who did not deal with the six departments watched the fun, and they didn’t need to speak. Once they spoke, they would be bullied.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard,
Every move in this officialdom is knowledge, and he still has some learning, and some learning.
Hanlin Academy, Rong Chuan's two-day vacation has passed, and he returned to the Hanlin Academy today. When he entered the door, the head of the academy treated him with an amiable, grandson-like look, "I saw you for the first time, boy, I just look at your face. It turns out that life experience is not simple, my good boy, now I have to work harder when I return home."
Rong Chuan is used to it, he heard too much of these words yesterday, "Your official must live up to the expectations of the head of the court."
The headmaster rubbed his beard and thought, fortunately, he has always been good to Zhang Rongchuan, ahem, of course, every time Zhang Rongchuan enters the palace, he either eats or takes, and he can't pay attention to it. The word spread, and some people said that Zhang Rongchuan was the reincarnation of Mr. Ning!
When Rong Chuan returned to the house, he was polite to his colleagues again. Originally, because he was the sure son-in-law of the Zhou family, his colleagues were very polite to him, but now it is even more so. He will inherit the marquis in the future, not only the queen is also an aunt , the prince is still a cousin, and with the Ningguo government, the status has indeed changed a lot.
Now his colleagues are not only polite to him, but also flattering in his tone. Fortunately, he can keep his mind steady, otherwise, it would be easy to drift away because of the change of status. Thinking of Uncle Zhou, it was all taught by Uncle Zhou.
The Ministry of Rites, Minister of the Ministry of Rites came back full of anger, Zuo Shilang waited at the door without going to court, "My lord, the crown prince has come to the Ministry of Rites."
Master Feng was stunned, "Didn't the prince go to the household department?"
Zuo Shilang shook his head, "I arrived at the Ministry of Rites early in the morning, and I am looking at the accounting books of the Ministry of Rites for previous years."
Mr. Feng is very steady, look, the fake accounts are done very well, he is not afraid of being discovered, he walked, rubbed his face, and went in to see the prince.
Just two steps away, another carriage stopped. Master Feng looked back, this carriage was familiar, if I remembered correctly, it seemed to be Zhou Shuren's carriage at the gate of the palace, and when he stopped, it was really Zhou Shuren.
Master Feng said indifferently: "Why is Master Zhou coming to the Ministry of Rites?"
Zhou Shuren got out of the carriage, "The crown prince asked the officials to come, as for what's the matter, you can ask His Royal Highness the crown prince."
Mr. Feng's calm heart just now finally panicked. Zhou Shuren could see the problem of salt tax from the numbers. This person is extremely sensitive to numbers. Thinking that the crown prince was looking at the account book of the Ministry of Rites, he twitched his lips, and the truth slapped himself. If I had known it earlier, I would not have sowed dissension today. Not only did it fail to sow discord, but I was also pissed off. Now that I am fine, Zhou Shuren doesn't know how to hold grudges!
Master Feng smiled, "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited Master Zhou, please come in quickly."
He said to Zuo Shilang: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and make some tea, yes, make the tea that the official brought from home and send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhou Shuren stretched out his hand, "My lord, please."
Feng Huai was very upset. Why did the prince come to the Ministry of Rites? Why didn’t he go to the Ministry of Punishment? The second prince had many people in the Ministry of Punishment. He also thought about Zhou Shuren. This week, the Zhou family was getting more and more involved with the prince. Zhou Shuren can also weaken the crown prince's strength. Unexpectedly, the crown prince brought Zhou Shuren to the Ministry of Rites.
The prince saw Zhou Shuren, "I was just talking about Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhou is here."
Zhou Shuren bowed, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
The prince pointed to the chair, "Sit."
Feng Huai was a little slow when he saw the ceremony, and the prince smiled: "Master Feng, please take a seat. I just want to find Mr. Feng. I don't understand something here. Mr. Feng, I just need someone to introduce you."
Although the Ministry of Rites does not have much power, things are quite complicated, and because of the priests and others, the crown prince has not paid much attention to the Ministry of Rites. Of course, the main reason is that there is too much to learn. The Ministry of Etiquette is easy to be overlooked.
The crown prince felt that it was right for his father to let him play the sixth part. Only by getting to know it personally can he be more handy in the future.
Feng Daren said: "His Royal Highness, there is something you don't understand, and I will explain it to His Royal Highness."
The crown prince didn't want to look at Feng Huai, so he smiled, "Master Feng is a minister, he must be busy with a lot of things in charge of the Ministry of Rites, don't trouble your lord, just find a doctor."
Mr. Feng was thinking about who to choose. Among the doctors in the Ministry of Rites, only a few of them leaned towards him. The others who did not lean towards him were all with their backs at home. Mr. Feng looked at Zhou Shuren and said with a smile: "Mr. come over."
Zhou Shuren thought of the Tao family, the surname of Wang Juyue's family. He remembered that there was someone in the Tao family who served in the Ministry of Rites. Mr. Feng glanced at him just now. He had investigated all the people he knew, so he avoided it on purpose.
