Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 88
As the sun got hotter and hotter, Chen Yunfu spent more and more time in the East Pavilion and the Prince's Mansion, and basically lingered until nightfall every day before returning home.

Without him, there are ice mirrors in these two places, which are cool.

Especially in the Prince's Mansion, you can mix some iced watermelon with it.

Although his own salary is quite a lot, but there are more than a dozen servant girls in the family eating with so many mouths, what can Chen Yunfu do with that little salary, so he simply depends on Zhu Biao to eat and drink all day long, and make Zhu Biao whole I can't laugh or cry.

"You said that you are also a majestic scholar of the imperial dynasty, and you eat and drink here early in the morning every day, which makes people look at it as a joke."

"As a subordinate official of the Highness, it is really his duty to serve His Highness on the saddle."

"So, you just ate and drank in Gu here confidently?" Zhu Biao was very helpless.

"Your Highness's yearly Juelu is 210 shi, and the lower official only has [-] six shi. This lower official is also worried that His Highness will not run out of money, so I will share it for you."

Chen Yunfu was righteous and confident, but he made Zhu Biao happy.

"Gu's juelu is indeed [-] shi, but when did you get it, at most [-] shi a year is enough, the rest are in the treasury, you should go if you want to eat and drink Find Ru Taisu."

"Him?" Chen Yunfu gnawed the last piece of watermelon and said, "Ru Butang is busy raising rations for the Northern Expedition. I heard that he hasn't returned home for half a month."

You say that Ru is too lazy. In order to allocate military rations for the Northern Expedition, he lived in the household department for ten days and a half a month.

"The Northern Expedition should start after the spring of next year, and he's just too busy working now."

Zhu Biao gave Chen Yunfu some insider information: "This year we won't fight. The army just turned back from Yunnan. No matter how you say it, you have to rest. And if the Northern Expedition happens after autumn, when the army arrives in Mobei, it will be cold in that place. The ground is frozen, which is not conducive to war."

"In this case, Ru Butang, why don't you say something?" Chen Yunfu thought about whether to remind Ru Taisu, and Zhu Biao shook his head: "Remind him what to do, he is idle all day long, do something Tired of living."

Chen Yunfu held back his laughter, but he didn't see that Zhu Biao still had this kind of revenge.

Ru Taisu pushed everything to Zhu Biao, and now Zhu Biao watched Ru Taisu vigorously plan the Northern Expedition.

"Okay, you eat and drink, let's do something serious."

Zhu Biao waved his hand, and several young eunuchs came in and carried out the ice mirror, and replaced it with two cups of hot tea.

The playbook has not been approved yet.

"There aren't many memorials in the past two days. I guess it's hot. Those who usually like to write long essays don't write anymore. The content is much more streamlined."

Chen Yunfu picked it up, and joked at the same time: "Especially the Ministry of Rites, these days the officials haven't seen any memorials related to the Ministry of Rites."

As he was talking, he turned to a book, and Chen Yunfu muttered: "This is really about Cao Cao Cao Cao."

Picking it up to have a look, it was signed by Huang Ting, and Chen Yunfu's eyes shrank slightly.

Open it to have a look, and it was as expected in my heart, so I forwarded the memorial to Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, the memorial of Huang Ting, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, who wants to impeach Li Yuanming, the minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Zhu Biao was drinking tea and reading the mansion newspaper. This was also a habit he had unknowingly learned from Chen Yunfu.

"He impeached Li Yuanming?"

Hearing that Huang Ting wanted to impeach Li Yuanming, Zhu Biao didn't react immediately.

The right minister of the Ministry of Rites impeached the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?What kind of drama is this singing about?

If the impeachment fails, how can Huang Ting hang around in the Ministry of Rites.

Out of curiosity, Zhu Biao still took a few glances at the impeachment memorial, and then looked up at Chen Yunfu.Finding that the latter had already buried his head in the copybook at this moment, he called out.

"Yunfu, do you know what Huang Ting impeached Li's original name?"

Chen Yunfu raised his head and said: "The officer just took a quick look, Huang Shilang seems to be talking about Li Butang's return to his hometown Ding You a few years ago."

"Yes." Zhu Biao held back a smile, and then couldn't help laughing out. "Li Yuanming returned to his hometown Ding You a few years ago, and he couldn't hold back his loneliness and gave birth to a child. Huang Ting can find out this kind of thing. Count the days, maybe six or seven years."

Chen Yunfu also wanted to laugh, but he held it back abruptly, and said seriously: "Your Highness, although this matter is a story of old rotten millet, and Li Butang was only a Hanlin scholar at that time, so it should be in the past. , but now that Li Butang is the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if he did such scandalous things in the past that were inconsistent with etiquette and violated the etiquette system, if he is not punished, he may become a joke for scholars."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Zhu Biao nodded approvingly, and said: "But this is not a good thing after all, and it's not good to deal with the court's face with great fanfare. How about this, Ji Xiang, you send someone to invite Li Butang to come."

Jixiang nodded and went out to make arrangements, leaving only Zhu Biao in the room.

"Let him take the blame and resign from office, it's a decent thing."

Zhu Biao gave his own thoughts, and then said: "However, the Ministry of Rites cannot be empty. How about letting Huang Ting take over?"

Chen Yunfu didn't want to express his opinion at first, but Zhu Biao kept watching, so he had no choice but to say: "I think it's inappropriate."

"Why?" There was a smile in Zhu Biao's eyes. He didn't even need to guess that it was Chen Yunfu who was responsible for the downfall of Li Yuanming. Huang Ting was probably launched by Chen Yunfu to charge, but Chen Yunfu didn't Supporting Huang Ting's superior position was beyond Zhu Biao's expectations.

"Huang Ting is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. He impeached his immediate boss Li Yuanming this time. If Huang Ting is pushed to the top right now, the officials of the six ministries and five temples will see it. In the future, they will all follow suit. Stop doing business and just think about internal fighting to get the top position."

"You are very thoughtful."

Zhu Biao praised: "Then transfer Huang Ting out of the Ministry of Rites and serve as Minister of Honglu Temple."

The power of Honglu Temple is equivalent to that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the rank is not high, only the fourth rank, and it is even downgraded to use from the right minister of the Ministry of Rites to the minister of Honglu Temple.

But thinking about it, even Minister of the Ministry of Rites doesn't have much to do all day long, let alone the second-ranked deputy, and being transferred to Honglu Temple Minister is to be the top leader, and the actual power will increase a lot.

Daming's current central departments consist of six ministries and five temples plus thirteen government envoys and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now that they have got one Honglu Temple, this has already invisibly laid a lot of foundation for Chen Yunfu's court .

Just as Chen Yunfu was about to bow his hands to thank him, he heard Zhu Biao mutter: "Ru Taisu likes to talk nonsense, so let's transfer him to the Ministry of Rites to be the Minister of Rites, transfer him to the Ministry of Punishments, and Ge Xun will be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Examination. Shao Zhi, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishments, will serve as the minister of the Ministry of Punishments."

Chen Yunfu blinked vigorously.

Is this giving myself a Honghe Temple and a Ministry of Punishment in one breath?
It seems that Zhu Biao has already begun to plan ahead for his future position.

Big Brother is so generous.

He deliberately opened his mouth to say a few words, but after opening his mouth several times, there was no sound.

"That's it." Zhu Biao smiled: "Yunfu, if you are alone in the court, you will be easily bullied."

If Chen Yunfu could have a minister and a minister standing in front of him that day in the East Pavilion, how could Li Yuanming dare to bully Chen Yunfu so blatantly.

Zhu Biao thought highly of Chen Yunfu in his heart, and what he wanted was to let Chen Yunfu do things with peace of mind and not be hurt by these open and dark arrows in the officialdom, which is why he has such a personnel arrangement today.

Although only the insignificant Ministry of Punishment and Honglu Temple are given, which are far inferior to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and Dali Temple in terms of real power, but are they two central institutions?

At this moment, Chen Yunfu's heart was full of emotion.

Didn't say anything, big brother pays attention!
