Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 164 Playing intrigue with a group of old foxes
The emperor announced that Cheng Chuli would be the head of corruption investigation this time, and all the officials were very surprised.

But miraculously, no one stood up to speak out against it.

There are probably two reasons for this. The first reason is that the emperor just beheaded a few people.

Before the cut, I told everyone very clearly.It's okay to ask for advice, but you can't give advice for your own selfish desires.Therefore, at this moment, those officials who want to remonstrate with others must first think clearly.

And another reason, which is also the biggest reason, is that people with unlimited expectations are willing to see this result, because they have already reached an agreement with Cheng Chuli, and Cheng Chuli will help them find people.

Therefore, it would be much more convenient for Cheng Chuli to act as the head of corruption investigation and help them find people.In this way, Cheng Chuli might help them get more and more important people out.

Another reason is that only Cheng Chuli served as the head of corruption investigation, and when they sued Cheng Chuli, it was considered a real reason.

Otherwise, Cheng Chuli won't hold any official position, and it doesn't matter at all to do this job. Even if he helps people out, they won't have the confidence to sue him when the time comes.

There are many people who are older than Cheng Chuli, so why can he get people?Even if they have evidence, they can't be justified. Who in this court has not helped to catch people?
All they can sue is that he took money to help him find people.It's always better to let Cheng Chuli have something to do with this matter.Only in this way can he be rectified to death.

Ever since, such a strange phenomenon appeared in the court.Not a single official has spoken out against it.

Cheng Chuli, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng rushed out of the line, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty."

In addition, the emperor will send someone to send Li Ke and Li You's appointments to them.

Li Er was very satisfied with Baiguan's reaction, and felt very proud.He was waiting for this moment to seize the opportunity to announce.

Just when Li Erzheng wanted Wang De to announce that there was something to do and that there was nothing to do to leave the court.

But Cheng Chuli spoke: "Your Majesty, I, the Chief Corruption Investigation Officer, is only trying those corrupt officials. If I have nothing to do, I won't come to court, okay?"

Cheng Chuli suddenly remembered this matter, what the hell, if you become an official, you have to go to court every day, what about the family affairs?

"How is this possible? How can an official not come to court?"

"It's too easy for him to be an official. Does he have privileges?"

The officials immediately started talking there.

Li Er said: "How is this possible? Since you are an official of the court, you must come to the court. What is there to discuss?"

Li Er is angry!I became an official for you, and you still don't want to come to court?

Cheng Chuli said: "Your Majesty, there are too many officials who don't come to the court. Could it be that all the officials of the Tang Dynasty come to the court? If I'm right, there has never been a position of Chief Corruption Investigation Officer before, so, My position has no rank. I am not qualified to come to court."

Cheng Chuli said while blinking at Li Er.

Li Er was a little confused, why is this kid blinking at me?Want to remind me of something?
Cheng Chuli didn't know what it meant!But he just wanted to misunderstand Li Er and promised him not to use it to go to court.

Sure enough, Li Er was fooled.Although he was very puzzled, he still asked: "If you don't come to the court, how will I know about the corrupt officials?"

Cheng Chuli hurriedly said: "I will hand over these matters to Changsun Wuji and Master Wei Zheng."

Does the emperor really have the rhythm to agree?This is not acceptable.

When the officials in the court heard this, they didn't want to do it.Who doesn't know that coming to court is a chore?If you don't want to come, do we want to come?

One by one, they stood up and played loudly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. This precedent cannot be set. Otherwise, everyone will follow suit in the future, and no one will come to court."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Since ancient times, there has never been an official who refused to go to the court. Although there was no position of chief inspector of corruption before, all the chief inspectors were high-ranking officials above the third rank. Although this chief inspector of corruption is temporary, it must be , at least not lower than the third rank. How can a third rank official not come to court?"

At this moment, those officials are more enthusiastic than each other, dancing very happily.All kinds of reasons have been brought out, but they just won't let you Cheng Chuli get what you want.

You Cheng Chuli is an official, and we are also officials, so why do you have privileges.

In just a short while, 20.00% of the officials stood up and opposed it.

No matter how eloquent and eloquent you Cheng Chuli is.This can't be said that we are doing it for selfish desires, right?
Not to mention, Cheng Chuli's request, no matter when he moved out, would definitely not pass.

They are not emperors, so they are not afraid of Cheng Chuli not being an official at all. For a person like Cheng Chuli, it is better not to be an official!
Li Er smiled, Cheng Chuli, did you see that?It's not that I won't help you, there is no other way.Now, no matter how much you wink at me, it's useless.

Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng are also very proud, you little bastard, you, the chief official, don't come to court, isn't it the two of us who have worked hard?
Although the two of them didn't stand up to object, they definitely disagreed. At this moment, they both looked at Cheng Chuli very proudly.Boy, want to be lazy?There are no doors.

Cheng Chuli didn't care, what he wanted was Li Er's consent.As for these officials, asking them to agree is like playing games.

Cheng Chuli said: "Your Majesty, the spring factory and the match factory are under preparation and construction, and the servants simply cannot do without them. Without my presence to direct them, others cannot do it at all.

If the emperor insists that I come to court.Then these things will be postponed indefinitely.As the so-called tall buildings start from the ground, if there is any mistake at the beginning.After that, the loss will be huge.Therefore, please be extra merciful, Your Majesty. "

In an instant, the hall was silent.

How can this be?Everyone has shares in this spring factory.In factories such as the match factory and the cement factory, besides the five surnames Qiwang who own shares, many other officials also own shares.

Indefinite extension?Doesn't that affect our fortune?

Immediately, an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, there is a reason for the incident. If he does not apply to come to court, he can still agree."

Immediately afterwards, several officials stood up and agreed.

At this time, all the officials stopped cooking.If they hadn't said something against it before, I'm sorry, they all wanted to stand up and say they agreed.

The direction of the wind in the courtroom changed drastically in an instant, which confused Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng.

It seems.No matter what it is, as long as it involves interests, it has to be leaned to the side.

Li Er couldn't laugh or cry, and believed in Cheng Chuli's idea even more.Look at how many factories have just opened.As the emperor, he is like a fish in water in the court.

Wait for Cheng Chuli to set up that industrial zone.Then he, the emperor, can really do whatever he says in the future.

"Okay, since you all said so, and his own situation is special, then I will agree to your request! However, every day you have to explain the matter clearly to your four deputy managers. Otherwise, if something happens I can't forgive you, I can't forgive you."

Cheng Chuli hurriedly said: "Young minister, thank you, Your Majesty."

After the imperial court, Cheng Chuli had just left the palace.The heads and persons in charge of each family invited them to the Good Brothers Restaurant for a feast.

He directly booked the biggest box where the emperor was invited to dinner at the Good Brothers Restaurant.The heads, persons in charge, and elders of each family came.

Just kidding, they can save their family members and take the opportunity to kill Cheng Chuli, can they not care about this?
After being seated, the family heads and persons in charge congratulated Cheng Chuli Rong for his promotion to the head of corruption investigation.

Cheng Chuli said indifferently: "Congratulations? You should all know that I don't like being an official. As for me, I just like money. If it wasn't for making more money, I wouldn't have thought hard about getting this official job." Well, thankless work.

Let me tell you, there is no repentance for the things we discussed before. If I dare to repent, I can kill all these corrupt officials according to my temper. "

The head of the Lu family quickly said: "Never regret it, never regret it, whoever regrets is the grandson. Today we invited the head manager to come over, just to ask, how many people can you get us out of?"

Cheng Chuli was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you mean? Didn't you agree before that how much I get, how much do you want? What? Do you want to go back on your word?"

Forehead?
All the heads and persons in charge were taken aback, the most important thing was that Cheng Chuli's formation was too scary.The head of the corruption investigation has been appointed, how many people are you trying to get?No one knows his strength!

If he gets all the more than 200 officials out, your sister will have more than 2000 million yuan!This is going to hurt people to death.

Patriarch Lu said: "No, absolutely not? We just want to ask, how many people can you help us get out, Chief Manager?"

Cheng Chuli was not calm anymore, and said: "What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? Let me tell you, I don't like such ordinary small money. I set up this corruption investigation to be the chief executive, just to Do more.

If you don't give me a good time, you know what will happen to the consequences.Still the same sentence, according to what we said before, you can take as much as I can get. "

"No."

The head of the Lu family said: "Master, it's like this, we just want you to let us know the truth, so we can prepare money! Isn't it?"

This kid, he looks like a veteran at such a young age, it's too difficult to deal with.

Cheng Chuli said in a daze: "We still need to prepare in advance? What do you mean, you don't have money? Then what's the point of doing this? There is no need for a trial, and everything can be cut off. I told you, I will Tell them that your family didn't save them, and it has nothing to do with me."

All the Patriarchs suddenly had black lines.No one dared to doubt his words, this kid is addicted to killing.

Patriarch Lu sat up straight and said seriously: "Cheng Chuli, don't get me wrong, we don't mean not to save people. It was our fault that we wanted as much as we wanted. If you fish out all the people, we will absolutely I can’t afford it. So we want to hear from you the truth, how many people do you plan to help us get?”

Cheng Chuli said: "Fill them all out, what do you think? This money has to be earned and spent? Don't ask me how many people I can get. To be honest, I don't know now.

But I dare to tell you that since I have become the head of the corruption investigation, if you don't let me have fun, I will definitely make you vomit blood.How about this, let's talk about it, how many people you want to get, I will try my best to satisfy you. "

Having said that earlier, isn't it easy for everyone to talk?

Patriarch Lu said: "To be honest, it's not that we don't want to recruit people. In fact, he doesn't allow this kind of funds. Our patriarchs have also discussed it. If you can recruit five people for our family, we will be satisfied."

"bump."

Cheng Chuli patted the table: "What are you doing? What are you doing? A family of five, that's only a few dollars. Don't do it, don't do it, absolutely not."

Is this still less?You know, it's not just people with five surnames and seven families, other families are also involved.For example, Wei's family, Dugu's family, etc. are exactly ten together.

In this way, a family of five means fifty people.How much is that for fifty people?
A full 500 million guan!This is definitely a number that makes the scalp tingle just thinking about it.If Li Shimin had these 500 million guns, he would definitely be able to rectify the army and wipe out the Turks within a year.

But what did this kid say?He still doesn't do it?

Now they are not thinking about finding people.That was to kill Cheng Chuli.It was enough to buy Cheng Chuli's life with 500 million coins.

But having said that, the 500 million guan was allocated to each of their families, and it was only 50 guan for one family.Therefore, Cheng Chuli thought that he still had room to maneuver.

Now, just wait and see how the Patriarchs react.

And those patriarchs, their faces are also dark at the moment, they look at me and you.I don't even know what to say.

It is so difficult!Too much money?Their hearts hurt again.

But then again.They were afraid that Cheng Chuli would quit.In this case, the excellent opportunity to kill him will be lost.

Just now Cheng Chuli said that in order to get this little money, he hired a chief corruption investigator to be the chief inspector.

If this business goes wrong, this kid will get angry. With this kid's temper, he really dares to kill all their corrupt officials.Seeing that these Patriarchs did not speak.

Cheng Chuli pretended to understand something, pointed at them little by little and said, "Oh, oh, oh, you are not that..."

Patriarch Lu reacted quickly and immediately interrupted him and said, "Ten, how about ten in our family?"

Cheng Chuli was taken aback for a moment, and began to meditate there.

This kid definitely had a flash of inspiration and realized something, and he must not be made to think of their conspiracy.Otherwise, there is no point in playing.

The head of the Lu family used harassment tactics: "Cheng Chuli, ten is already a lot, we really don't have that much money! There are ten families here, and there are ten people in a family, that's 100 people, which adds up to a full 1000 million. Chief Manager, please be content! There are quite a lot.”

At this time, the people of these families became nervous.
