travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 74 Big Tiger
Facing Zhao Fei who trusted him so much, Wang Yi was in a daze for a moment.

Everyone knows that drunk people tend to speak wrong words and big things, and the same goes for people in a trance. Wang Yi, who was in a trance, knelt down in front of Zhao Fei, looking as if he was dying.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Fei was also a little surprised by Wang Yi's behavior, why does he look so much like a martyr rushing to the execution ground?
Wang Yi cleared his throat, and said: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, I have no way to repay you, I will definitely help His Majesty thoroughly investigate the villains, and return the court to a bright future."

"I am very pleased that you have such a heart. The imperial court needs an official like you so that the common people can be happy." Zhao Fei looked at Wang Yi with a look of relief and said, "If you work hard, the imperial court will not treat you badly. Will never forget you."

"Thank you Lord Long En!" Wang Yi kowtowed.

Now that the titles of monarch and ministers have been determined, Wang Yi revisited Zhao Fei as his newly appointed imperial envoy.

The so-called three fires when a new official takes office, Wang Yi naturally has to show something when he takes office, otherwise the emperor has given him such a big benefit, and it would be too difficult for him to show nothing.

"Your Majesty must know that the reason why the Beijing officials are making trouble is because the Ministry of Households owes the Beijing officials their salaries, but the reason why the Beijing officials dare to make trouble is because someone is making trouble inside." Wang Yilang said: "And they can openly encourage the officials. People who fight against the imperial court are naturally not ordinary people, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead, the humble minister will definitely live up to the emperor's grace and find out who is behind the scenes. "

Facing such an active Wang Yi, what else can Zhao Fei say other than encouragement?

When Wang Yi left with the Jinyiwei and Lingxin that Zhao Fei had allocated to him, Zhao Fei looked at Chu Xuan and said, "It seems that I really did not find the wrong person this time. Wang Yi is not only a capable person, but also a loyal minister." !"

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Facing Chu Xuan's compliment this time, Zhao Fei felt for the first time that it was too correct, and I was indeed very wise.

Sitting quietly for a while, Zhao Fei looked up at Chu Xuan and said, "What do you think about this incident?"

"It should be as Wang Yi said, someone is making trouble behind the scenes." Chu Xuandao: "It's just like what I said before, it's definitely not easy for someone who dares to go against the imperial court. Wang Yi alone may not be able to do what he wants. After all, this Wang Yi's official position is too small."

"He dared to do it just because he was a small official. If he succeeded, he would have a promotion. If he failed, the worst would be to return to his military prison as the head of the prison. How dare he not work hard?" Zhao Fei Said in a deep voice: "The officials of the imperial court cannot be used, although they may be able to find out who did it in the first place, but they are senior officials and old, so they must not dare or want to mess around. It's like playing chess, the chariot can't move, and I can only use this pawn to go on a rampage."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Fei sneered and said, "Besides, whoever said that Wang Yi's official position is too small, with me as his backer, even if he is the prime minister of the court, the six ministers should respect him."

"Your Majesty is holy!" Chu Xuan could only knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Chu Xuan, who was always by Zhao Fei's side, could clearly feel Zhao Fei's changes. The former Zhao Fei might be a little serious, but he was still human, but now But Zhao Fei was getting closer and closer to an emperor, a qualified emperor, and Chu Xuan could feel the deep chill in his casual eyes.

"Chu Xuan, you assign people to help Wang Yi investigate the case with all your strength. This time is not only a blow to those good-hearted people in Chang'an City, but also a battle to make your Jinyiwei famous." Zhao Fei squinted at Chu Xuan and said. "It depends on whether you Jinyiwei is a dragon or a phoenix."

"Yes, I will live up to His Majesty's expectations." Chu Xuan nodded seriously. Even if Zhao Fei didn't say anything, he would work hard. He couldn't show his prestige every day, and he was Zhao Fei's follower in the eyes of outsiders.

Although being the emperor's follower is far more popular than being the boss of a department, a good man has ambitions everywhere, and Chu Xuan also hopes that one day he will be able to guard one side and become famous all over the world.

Zhao Fei had basically understood the affairs of the Beijing officials, so he took Chu Xuan through the back door and entered the household department yamen.

Zhao Zilong and a group of adults from the household department were sitting on their seats with headaches on their faces, thinking of a way out, when they suddenly saw Zhao Fei walking in, they immediately rolled off their seats and knelt respectfully on the ground.

"My minister Zhao Zilong pays homage to my emperor, long live my emperor!"

The officials of the household department were wondering about their boss's behavior when they heard Zhao Zilong's voice, they were so frightened that they rolled down from their seats and kowtowed to Zhao Fei one after another.

Zhao Fei strode across the Hubu lobby, sat on the seat of the Hubu hall official, looked around at a group of Hubu ministers, and said, "My lords, let's get back together!"

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Zhao Zilong took the lead to stand up, and then the officials of the household department stood in the lobby of the household department one by one, waiting for Zhao Fei's lecture.

Sighing deeply, Zhao Fei said coldly: "My lords, I happen to have nothing to do today, so I wanted to come out to see the people's livelihood, but I didn't want to see the bustle of your household department, so for the outside things, you Is there anything you want to say?"

As soon as Zhao Fei opened his mouth, the faces of all the officials in the yamen of the household department turned pale. Sure enough, they were afraid of something. The adults couldn't help but secretly scolded those Beijing officials outside. If you say you're making trouble, you're going to make trouble. It's not easy to go. Why do you have to come to the yamen of my household department? Isn't this deliberately embarrassing us?

These officials didn't know that Zhao Fei came back with Zhao Zilong. Zhao Zilong knew about it, but he didn't say it. The so-called misfortune came from his mouth. Ming is the official way.

Faced with Zhao Fei's questioning, Zhao Zilong knew it was time for him to speak, so he knelt down on the ground and said with a shameful face: "I am guilty of a crime, I have owed the emperor's favor, and I am deeply ashamed for not controlling my subordinates strictly. Your Majesty, please punish me."

"Your Majesty, please punish me if I have owed the Emperor's favor!" The officials of the Ministry of Households fell to their knees, crying and calling for Zhao Fei to punish them.

Faced with such kindness from his subordinates, Zhao Fei was ashamed. He remembered that when he was a wage earner, if the leader dared to scold him once, he would dare to scold him ten times. Of course, it must be in private.

However, although cursing is private, Zhao Fei will never cry and let the leader criticize him and punish him for salary. More importantly, don't say that he didn't make a mistake. Even if he made a mistake, he will definitely find various reasons to divert his attention. , Where are the ancient workers so conscientious, it is not their own fault, and they also call for punishment from the leaders.

They are all good officials!
Since you begged me to punish you so much, it would be a bit unreasonable if I didn't punish you. In this case, Zhao Fei looked at the officials of the household department with some regrets and said: "You are all excellent officials of our court, how can I be willing to punish you? But the officials outside the gate are also my subjects, and I cannot take sides, Zhao Zilong."

"My minister is here." Zhao Zilong was listening to Zhao Fei's work report, and when Zhao Fei drank it, he was startled, and looked at Zhao Fei inexplicably.

Zhao Fei cleared his throat and said, "Zhao Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Household Department and the first person in charge of the Household Department. This time, the Household Department defaulted on the salaries of some officials. You are duty-bound and must take certain responsibilities."

"My minister is willing to accept the crime!" Zhao Zilong looked at Zhao Fei sincerely.

"I'll fine you a year's salary!" Zhao Fei said lightly, "You are an honorable man, and you have your own property in your family. You don't even care about this salary, but this is just one of them. You must pay it within three days. Let me settle the external affairs, when the imperial court is employing troops, I don't want the imperial court's rear to become unstable because of your household department."

"Thank you for your favor." Zhao Zilong felt a little bit bitter, the so-called mosquito is meat no matter how small it is, not to mention that as a high-ranking member of the imperial court, his salary is nothing more than a mosquito's leg, but a pig's head!

But no matter how heartbroken he was, he couldn't show it. Although he was listening to Zhao Fei's speech on the surface, he was thinking about who to take the top of the tank this time.

The emperor wanted an explanation, and the explanation was naturally that all these were personal actions and had nothing to do with the court.

How to explain?

Naturally, an official from the household department was found to be dismissed directly, saying that it was because of this person that this incident of salary arrears was caused.

As for whether everyone believes it or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the court believes it, as long as the world believes it.

The voices of hundreds of Beijing officials are too insignificant in front of the entire imperial court and the people of the world!

After telling the officials of the household department not to spread the matter of his appearance in the household department, Zhao Fei took Chu Xuan back to the palace directly.

Although I wanted to eat some tofu, but helplessly, there was a rumor in the palace that the empress was ill. Although Yehua wanted it very much, Jiahua always came first.

But when Zhao Fei returned to the palace, he had already received two other pieces of news.

The first one is that Zhao Zilong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, made a memorial to explain why the salaries of some Beijing officials were not distributed. It was because the officials who distributed the salaries of the officials in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs used these salaries to put loan sharks. At the same time, it shows that it must be resolved within three days.

According to Jin Yiwei's report, after Zhao Zilong personally suppressed the offender Lang Guan and apologized to the officials who made trouble in the Household Yamen, the troublesome Beijing officials have gradually dispersed.

And the second is Wang Yi's return.

Looking at the memorial that Wang Yi asked Jin Yiwei to bring to him, Zhao Fei's eyes slowly narrowed, and a trace of air-conditioning made Chu Xuan who was standing by the side feel the cold wind piercing his bones.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Chu Xuan regretted why he didn't take a look at it before giving it to Zhao Fei. After all, this thing came to him first.

"Look." Zhao Fei casually handed the memorial to Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan opened it pretending not to care, then widened his eyes and exclaimed, "This..."

"Hehe," Zhao Fei sneered and said, "Surprise!"

"This...my...this..." Faced with this memorial, Chu Xuan didn't know what to say for a while.

But Zhao Fei said coldly: "This is really a big tiger!"
