As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Hua Manlou gloated and said, "It's all true, but what you said is the general situation, but Liu Shilang's matter is beyond the general situation. It can only be said that he found the wrong person."

Wen Liang was amused after thinking about it for a while: Hua Manlou was right. On the surface, Liu Shilang burned down the palace and it was a slap in the face of Hua Manlou. Now, either the newly promoted boss Xishanhou is slapping him in the face. Either Lao Liu paid some price to reconcile, but the real situation is that His Highness the Crown Prince is holding back an evil fire. I hope Liu Shilang can stand it by then.

"Then the situation is even simpler now." Wen Liang smiled for a while and said: "Let's just let it hang out, maybe the situation will change in a few days, anyway, you just came back."

Hua Manlou took her over and kissed her: "Okay, let's forget about these nonsense!"

It is good to have a smart daughter-in-law. Not only can she help manage Xishan, but she can also make suggestions to fight against the court. If there are more such daughter-in-laws...

Well, if there are a few more, I'm afraid the Xishan Hou Mansion will be full of blood and rain.

In short, Huamanlou decided to follow the good advice and let it hang out for a few days before talking.

……

In the next few days, Huamanlou lived extremely well, as if she was really a normal person, either taking a group of daughters-in-law out of the city to play, or staying at home to draw eyebrows and talk about love, and her life was very leisurely, until now One day, Zhao Ren was released after serving his sentence.

"It's reasonable. It's not that I hung the spiritual tablets of the ancestors on the wall. Since you dare to do something, you must dare to take responsibility..." Hua Manlou gloated at the bear boy and said, "So it can't be because I didn't If you go to save you, you blame me."

Zhao Ren stared at Hua Manlou fiercely, but did not speak.

Hua Manlou's mood was not affected at all, and even got better: "Kneeling in the Taimiao for three days?"

"Otherwise?" Zhao Renhuo said: "I admit to being beaten, but who can bear the punishment of kneeling? I don't even have anyone to chat with, and I can't chat with my ancestors..."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Even if you can chat, you probably can't. Your ancestors will beat you up."

Zhao Ren rolled his eyes, but soon became elated again: "Anyway, I'm able to roam around again!"

Hua Manlou yawned: "All right, all right, go surfing, do whatever you want, just don't disturb my rest, I'm on vacation."

"Take a fucking vacation!" Zhao Ren kicked Hua Manlou, "What about going back to rectify the administration?"

Hua Manlou said with a toothache: "Who made an agreement with you? Brother, in theory, I am engaged in diplomacy and national defense. How do you ask me to rectify the bureaucracy? The rectification of bureaucracy is a matter for the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, okay?"

Zhao Ren's words pulled Hua Manlou out of the holiday mood.

At first, I thought that this brat had already forgotten those bad things in the past, but who would have thought that he would come here to make trouble just after he was free?

Zhao Ren blinked and blinked: "Why are you so excited?"

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "It's not like you don't know what happened a few days ago. Father and those old men have found a lot of things for me to do. How can I have time to play with you?"

Zhao Ren sneered and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Others don't know the inside story, how can I not know? Although they said a lot of things that day, in fact, you have already done almost those things. At most, you just need to go to Tianjin a few more times to mention them. Let’s talk about the direction of research and development, and plan for overseas development. It will be troublesome to ask others to come, and a large number of people will need to go out to collect information, but you don’t even need to leave this house, and you don’t need to go out to sea to build a stronghold. What are you up to?"

Hua Manlou: "..."

Miscalculated, I forgot that there was another person who knew about it that day.

"They seem to be teasing me by arranging most of the things you do well for you, but doing the most difficult sea-opening by yourself." Zhao Ren said with a smile: "If you want me, I will throw all this pile of things to you Just wait for the result, but they... Hey, Mr. Zeng's serious analysis is so funny, you don't even know how hard I endured..."

Hua Manlou also endured a lot of hardship, because this brat was too short on pumping.He took a deep breath and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. Do you think I am omnipotent? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

In fact, this is where Huamanlou struggles the most - he doesn't mind making suggestions behind the scenes, because making suggestions only needs to be verbal, but Emperor Guangxing gave him the decision-making power, which means that he will completely shoulder the responsibility. Da Zhao participated in the important mission of the Great Navigation Era.

If things go well, it’s fine, but if things don’t go well, a large number of people may change their fates or even lose their lives because of his decision at a small scale. At a large scale, this is related to the historical direction of the Celestial Dynasty. What if it gets out of hand? ?

He was not as big-hearted as Zhao Ren.

"What could go wrong?" Zhao Ren said contemptuously: "Okay, my father and I will tell you what went wrong! Who else can do anything to you? Stop talking, and watch this."

As Zhao Ren spoke, he took out something and handed it to Hua Manlou, who took it and trembled: "You stole the seal of the emperor again?"

"I knew you were going to say that!" Zhao Ren rolled his eyes: "This time it was given by my father!"

Hua Manlou had a look of disbelief: "Are you kidding me?"

Zhao Ren said impatiently: "Let me tell you this, after you all left that day, my father was going to beat me up, and then I argued with him, and then I talked about what happened in Lanzhou Mansion..."

Zhao Ren really didn't lie this time.

The conversation that day continued until midnight. To be honest, Emperor Guangxing was also greatly shocked that day.The topic started from taxation, all the way to ice and charcoal consumption, official corruption, and whether the imperial court's selection of officials was becoming more and more unrealistic-many things that Emperor Guangxing had never heard of, after all, the grassroots were too far away from him, and he knew his background The country's channels are only memorials.

What shocked Emperor Guangxing even more was that Zhao Ren actually proposed a series of seemingly reliable methods, such as opening up channels from officials to officials, and appointing capable officials to replace those who had just taken the imperial examination and were full of knowledge but out of touch with reality. Gradually reform the imperial examinations, increase the proportion of policy theory, reduce the influence of stereotypes, and proceed from reality; clean up the Metropolitan Procuratorate, first ensure that the censors are clean, and then reform the examination method so that the censors have evidence to rely on ...

Although some methods seem outrageous and sometimes have childish parts, Zhao Ren really wants to do something, and he also admits that some of these methods are thought of by himself, and some are inspired by Hua Manlou. So after three days of hesitation, Emperor Guangxing finally agreed to let him try to do something by himself, on the condition that Hua Manlou must be by his side.

But Zhao Ren is not talented, the first thing he chooses is to investigate the officials - the fact that the burning of the palace is true makes the bear child sick.

634. If I Fool You, You Can’t See It

Hua Manlou was knocked down by a backstab from an unexpected place.

What the hell is going on with the investigation of the officials, there are not many people who are suspected of offending, or what?

Moreover, Emperor Guangxing was really big-hearted. The investigation of officials was almost equivalent to handing over the appointment and removal of officials to Zhao Ren-this is the right of personnel affairs!Even though the brat seems to be more reliable now, and really wants to do something, but the personnel rights...

Let's put it this way, there is a saying in the court that "official officials do not enter the cabinet". This statement can be explained in two parts: the official official refers to the minister of the official department, and the official means that he has reached the top of the sky. What kind of cabinet do you want to enter?The most important thing is that because the Minister of the Ministry of Officials controls the power of personnel, they often have many disciples. After entering the cabinet, if they fail to do so, they will dominate the court, and the emperor may be excluded...

Zhang Juzheng: Yes, I did this.

Therefore, Emperor Guangxing's move is really big, and it's a good thing that he is only a son like Zhao Ren, and the bear boy is really not someone who has a deep plan to get the throne early, otherwise, the emperor reckons that he will be the emperor in two years. up.

Li Yuan: Connotation me?

"That's what I think. Let's go through the Metropolitan Procuratorate first, and use your words to ensure the purity of the team." Zhao Ren began to explain his plan to Hua Manlou enthusiastically: "At the same time, collect the people from the court. People’s evidence, and then follow the clues to the place..."

Hua Manlou covered his forehead in pain: "Oh..."

At this moment, Hua Manlou even felt that Emperor Guangxing knew that he would not play like Zhao Ren, so he left him to deal with.

It is right to check the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the idea of ​​ensuring the purity of the team is also remarkable. The question is, who should investigate the Metropolitan Procuratorate?Theoretically speaking, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the officials, so we can't let the officials supervise the Metropolitan Procuratorate instead, right?

It is even more impossible for Dongchang and Xuanwuwei. These two departments have always been impeachment material, and once they are moved, they are very reminiscent of the story of the factory guard murdering Zhongliang. Ah, Wei Zhongxian probably played like this before, but in the end...

Taking a ten thousand step back, I found someone to investigate the capital procuratorate, but this Yamen is the headquarters of Qingliu, most of these people are as smelly and hard as stones in the toilet, who has nothing to do to provoke them?

It is said that after the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then collecting evidence for them to impeach them with something to say, but the officials of Dazhao did not go through the investigation at all.

Seeing Hua Manlou's expressionless face, Zhao Ren asked in confusion, "What am I wrong about?"

"Have you ever heard that the world is as black as crows?" Hua Manlou sighed, "If you haven't heard of it, let me tell you this: my old father-in-law always advocated the use of capable people instead of clean officials, you know why? What?"

Zhao Renning raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean..."

Hua Manlou didn't let him continue to guess: "As far as your first step is concerned, it is estimated that at least [-]% of the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be knocked down by you, and most of the people left behind will be those who are smelly and hard. Believe it or not, you can believe it or not.”

Zhao Ren's eyes widened: "How is that possible!"

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is a very painful reality, so the ancestors have already summed up the court's gameplay: no loss in the big festivals, it doesn't matter in the small festivals.If you really want to play according to the thinking of the group of Qingliu who don't leave sand in their eyes in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Da Zhao can be played to the end.

Hua Manlou did not explain these principles to Zhao Ren, he just gave a simple example: "Let me tell you this, according to the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the first person in the court should be dragged into the army and killed." The one who took the lead is me, because I am the number one smuggler in Dazhao, this matter is tantamount to digging up the foundation of Dazhao, which is an unforgivable crime."

As soon as Zhao Ren said this, he immediately understood, and he said depressedly: "Then what do you think? I finally persuaded the emperor, so I can't just go back without doing anything, right? Why don't we start with the imperial examination and solve the root cause? question?"

Hua Manlou covered her face sadly: "Let me tell you, I understand that you want to make some achievements, but you don't have to stare at the court all the time, right? Many things are very meaningful, such as trying to grow corn and potatoes. No? Why do you have to gnaw on the hard bone of Chaotang?"

Originally, Huamanlou wanted to tinker with these things. After all, these two things are very important, and they are very capable of cultivating foreign workers—find a group of experienced old farmers, and divide several experimental fields for trial planting. He will say when the results will be produced. Forget it, anyway, if you don't fiddle with it for two or three years, it won't be finished.

What's more, this time I brought back not only corn and potatoes, but also peppers. Huamanlou has been craving hot pot for a long time!

What is the three delicacies pot?

People from Sichuan say that eating Sanxian Hotpot is like kissing through a mask... Cough, anyway, I really don’t like Huamanlou, who is neither spicy nor happy.

But Zhao Ren spread his hands: "Can we do it at the same time! Besides, the court's problem will have to be resolved sooner or later. Right now, the father is in charge, so what if we just gnaw at this hard bone?"

"Dogs like to chew on bones, but I like to eat meat." After Hua Manlou said something that seemed to be a curse, he rubbed his aching forehead and said, "Wait for me to rub it."

Judging from this posture, Zhao Ren is imperative, so Hua Manlou can only find a way to bring things back to a controllable range, such as finding a relatively simple thing to do, or something that can be blamed. Give someone else something to go...

Shaking the pot?

Hua Manlou had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of a coquettish operation: Thinking back to that year, during Pingwo, a certain Shi Lezhi and Nie Shangshu were withdrawn as a shield, but he was having a good time at sea, if Song Jie hadn't been sent to meet him , Lao Nie died in Ningbo a long time ago.

As soon as I thought about it, Huamanlou suddenly became enlightened: So it seems that such a terrible thing can also be dumped on a certain servant?Isn't this a coincidence!

"Hehehe..." Hua Manlou laughed sinisterly.

Zhao Ren couldn't help but shuddered seeing Hua Manlou's penetrating state: "Are you okay? I'm not forcing you. If you feel a little stressed, we can wait a month or two..."

Hua Manlou glared at him, and then said, "So no matter what we do, we have to make troubles anyway? It's okay, I have a solution."

Zhao Renxin said happily: "What way?"

"My daughter-in-law told me that someone recently wanted to invite me to a deal with me," Hua Manlou said calmly, "It's probably because he wants me to give up pursuing some things, so in this way..."

Zhao Ren said in astonishment: "What deal? Are you in a bad head?"

Hua Manlou sneered: "The operation is too complicated to show. Anyway, just wait."

"Are you... fooling me?"

"Don't worry, if I fool you, you won't be able to see it."

(rua!)

635. How many honest people are there in the court?

In recent days, there have been many guests in Liu Chao's house, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it is the same today.

It's just that the atmosphere in the front hall of Liu's Mansion is always a little bit wrong, there is no noise full of guests at all, but it is always surrounded by low air pressure, so that when the butler of Liu's Mansion tiptoes into the front hall, his footsteps can't help but relax .

Liu Chao raised his head, glanced at the housekeeper and spit out two words: "How?"

The housekeeper lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Go back to the master, that Huamanlou has agreed to the appointment."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall heaved a sigh of relief, and smiles covered some people's faces in an instant.

But Liu Chao snorted: "Guo Chao is the only one who dares to ask me to invite you three times in a row without going to the appointment. Hmph, he's not very old, but he's not too airy."

Liu Shilang is qualified to say this.

Lao Liu is 50 years old this year. He is not young for ordinary people, but he is young for officials above the fourth rank in the court, and he has also sat on the second in command of the official department. If there is an accident, he will be able to seamlessly connect after Ma Tianlu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, retires, so he has the capital to be proud.

But unexpectedly, there was an accident.

Arrogance and arrogance are generally the same thing at a certain time. Liu Shilang, who was in a high position, was arrogant and arrogant, and suddenly found that he had been cheated by a fat man who had never looked down upon him. I don't think there is any major problem, because the evidence of the relationship has long been wiped out, even if King Yiduan was captured, there is no need to sell him.

But who would have thought that King Yiduan was disheartened by Huamanlou's meteorite technique? He not only helped to regain the West Sea, but also confessed everyone. This...

What's even more painful is that Liu Chao was two days late when he received the news of King Yiduan's defeat - he was going to reward the army on behalf of the imperial court, and when he received the news, his group of pig teammates had already sent people to Lanzhou government.

In Liu Chao's eyes, Hua Manlou is almost the same person as him, with top-notch scheming and big plans, so even if Hua Manlou really got the evidence, he will contact him secretly to discuss a deal after returning to Beijing , instead of directly revealing the matter, this is the way to maximize the benefits-Hua Manlou's refusal to seize the palace at the beginning is proof in Liu Shilang's eyes.

What the pig teammates did was basically telling Huamanlou, 'Look, there is a trick here, come and hit it', which made things that could be done at a small price complicated by them, so Liu Chao Directly send someone to set fire to the palace—isn't it better to make amends afterwards than to be manipulated by others?

So there was nothing wrong with Wen Liang's speculation, Liu Shilang just wanted to make a deal, so as not to tear himself apart with Hua Manlou.

You can't get any benefits from pinching, so why pinch?

"Let's all go back, I will take care of the rest." Old Liu waved his hand irritably, dismissed the pig teammates, and then told the butler: "Prepare the car and go to the banquet!"

……

As a human being in two lifetimes, this is Huamanlou's first visit to a brothel, and even with the permission of his daughter-in-law, he feels a sense of accomplishment.

Everyone has nothing to do with gambling and drugs, so who is not a normal man curious about this place?

Well, just pure curiosity, no other ideas.

"Tsk tsk, TV dramas are really deceiving..." Hua Manlou looked around, and at the same time tsk tsk in amazement and admiration.

Many people are really deceived by the rough TV series. The high-end brothels are actually more similar to private clubs. The girls have their own embroidery houses, and each has their own strengths: some focus on poetry and songs, and some focus on blowjobs. Playing and singing, as well as playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, if the taste is more tricky, there are also girls holding horsewhips. It is said that when they got married on the grassland, there were girls holding horsewhip chasing men cough cough...

So the conclusion is, 'Grandpa, let's play', that thing is called a kiln, and it has no gameplay at all, it only provides one kind of service, and its nature is equivalent to the 'handsome guy, play or not' in some alleys in Huamanlou's previous life...

"Pfft..." Hua Manlou couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of something.

Seeing this, a soft and sticky young lady who was accompanying her asked softly, "Why is Lord Hou laughing?"

Hua Manlou waved his hand: "Oh, I just remembered a funny thing."

The thing is this: in the political and economic class of the previous life, the teacher said that everyone should think of a slogan for a travel program, which needs to have a clear theme and outstanding artistic conception, which can not only respect others, but also highlight themselves.The content should be slightly sexy, not exaggerated, and it is best for people to remember it after listening to it once.

Then at that time, a man of god stood up and said, "Master, come and play?"

So, you will never understand the brain circuits of some gods, just like Hua Manlou can distract himself and think of a joke when he is surrounded by two young ladies...

So the younger sister immediately became unhappy: "Master Hou is too much. He is still thinking about other things even though he is accompanied by his family and sister. Isn't it a sign to smash the family if it is spread?"
