Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 762 Wang An was deliberately made difficult

When Zhu Han listened to He Fengyu's words, he had already guessed that there must be something he didn't know.

He immediately started asking.

He Fengyu can no longer hide this time.

So, he told Zhu Han exactly what Wang Anrujing was doing.

"Wang An went to the Ministry of Revenue three days ago, but he didn't expect that the current Minister of Revenue would actually throw all the account books from previous years in front of Wang An."

"Tell him to check all these details within three days. If there are any mistakes or omissions in the accounts, let Wang An investigate them. Don't give him any respite."

"Those were some bad debts accumulated over the past few months. Wang An worked day and night for three days to sort out only half of them. As a result, he was reported by the Ministry of Revenue."

"Your Majesty did not charge Wang An because he had just been to the Ministry of Revenue. However, after Wang An returned, he was harassed by the Ministry of Revenue again."

"He hasn't been home for several months. He spends all night in the Ministry of Revenue. With so many account books, I can't imagine when he will be able to arrange everything properly."

He Fengyu couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He was a bit of a figure in Yingtian Prefecture, and it was not uncommon for him to go out drinking and having fun on weekdays.

I heard a lot from those dignitaries. It turned out that these people were arranged everywhere just to deliberately make things difficult for Wang An.
Not only are there account books accumulated over the years, there are also many bad accounts. Even when the treasury is empty, they have already spread all those account books everywhere.

The accounts inside were extremely messy. Asking an official who had just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue to sort out all these account books was simply a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him.

"They are now spreading the word privately that Wang An is Master's subordinate, and that everything that happened at the Ministry of Revenue was arranged by Master."

"That's why they deliberately started to gang up on Wang An. I can't imagine what they want Wang An to do."

"Now he is sorting out so many account books of the Ministry of Revenue by himself. I can't imagine how complicated it is."

Zhu Han listened to He Fengyu's words quietly, his eyes became more and more complicated, and Gao Fei on the side was even more angry.

They have a lot of interactions with Wang An on weekdays.

It is very clear that Wang An is a person who only reports good news and not bad news. He only thinks about contributing his own strength to the Ming Dynasty.

Now that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I am thinking about completing all the tasks assigned to me every moment.
Even though he suffered such a great insult, he did not think of looking for Zhu Han to explain.

Such a good man was being bullied like this, Gao Fei was already getting restless.

"They bullied Wang An on purpose, wanting to show outsiders who the prince had arranged to go there."

"They can humiliate and bully at will. Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. They really can't tell the difference between a big king and a small king."

Gao Fei's words made Zhu Han's heart rise to his throat. He turned to look at Gao Fei.

"Be careful, walls have ears. No matter where you are, you must be careful with your words and actions. You are also my subordinates. If your words and actions reveal anything, then it will be my fault."

Gao Fei quickly lowered his head and stood aside.
He was standing up for Wang An. Nowadays, they couldn't participate in many things in the court.

It was obvious that they bullied Wang An like this and showed that they did not take Zhu Han seriously.

Ge Rong said nothing, his brows were furrowed and his head was lowered, as if he had been lost in thought for a long time.

Zhu Han saw through his clues and looked at Ge Rong.

"What do you think about this matter? You and Wang An are good friends."

"Now that this has happened, how do you think Wang An should deal with it so as not to cause trouble for me?"

Zhu Han didn't take this matter to heart. After all, he was still very confident in Wang An's character.

Now that this has happened, it is possible that someone else is deliberately trying to frame him.

However, Wang An took the initiative to take on all the responsibilities and worked so seriously in the Ministry of Revenue.

Such talents are indeed able to keep their composure, and Zhu Han has an even higher regard for Wang An.

Suddenly questioned by Zhu Han, Ge Rong quickly stood up from his chair.

He watched Zhu Han step forward and bow respectfully.

Facing other people, he also expressed all his thoughts.

In fact, in his opinion, Wang An was able to enter the Ministry of Revenue because of his real talents and knowledge.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have given the order personally, but because there was a close relationship between him and Zhu Han, others wanted to take action against him.

That must have been done by the enemy.

Zhu Han made many friends in the court, and other officials all gave him some face.

He deliberately went to the Ministry of Revenue to embarrass Wang An so blatantly. It must be someone who had intended this.

They even thought that even if they did something to Wang An, Zhu Han would be unable to do anything to them if he caught them.

This is when they started to become unscrupulous.

"Wang An and I were both trained by the prince. Even though our talents as the top scorer in the imperial examinations have been recognized, there are still many people in the court who are trying to cause trouble for us."

"This is actually very simple. As long as you stay true to your original aspiration and do your job as quickly as possible, you can win people over with virtue. If Wang An doesn't tell the prince, he won't cause any trouble for him."

Gao Fei and He Fengyu immediately stopped talking.

After all, neither of them had the same accomplishments as Ge Rong. But now, listening to Ge Rong's words, He Fengyu felt that Wang An was really aggrieved.

Even with Zhu Han as his backer, he is still bullied again and again.

"But Master, even if Wang An is like this, can we really just ignore him? Wouldn't that just encourage others to attack Wang An?"

"I have always believed that this must have been an order from the Prince of Yan. He was not willing to allow Wang An to serve as an official in the court, otherwise the incident with Hu Weiyong would not have happened."

Zhu Han was somewhat certain about what He Fengyu said.

It was no longer a secret that Zhu Di secretly won over officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew this a long time ago, but he just turned a blind eye.

"Wang An's ability to pay attention to such details can only prove how excellent his talent is. Even if others want to defeat him, it is simply impossible."

"Your Majesty will certainly value such talents more in the future. We will wait and see what happens, but you also have to go to the Ministry of Revenue to find out the situation for me."

Zhu Han wanted to see who was in the tide. How could he be so bold as to attack his own people? This was clearly a provocation.
Zhu Han will not take action immediately, but if Wang An is really suppressed all the time, it would be a slap in Zhu Han's face.

He said as he looked towards Gao Fei.

"Put some people in the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible and have the Royal Guards investigate to see who is so bold."

"It would be best if we could find evidence that they are secretly forming cliques for personal gain." Gao Fei nodded repeatedly and quickly began to prepare.

Ge Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up at Zhu Han, there was a slightly complicated look in his eyes.

The interpersonal relationships in Yingtian Prefecture were complicated, and the fact that they were able to achieve such success in the imperial examination this time had actually made things increasingly peaceful.

He finally understood that Zhu Han's failure to assign him an official position was the greatest protection he could receive.

If he had really replaced Wang An, someone would have probably already killed him by now.

That is really, really scary!!!
"By the way, Ge Rong, you are also of marriageable age. I have found a suitable match for you. I wonder if you are satisfied."

Ge Rong was a little at a loss when Zhu Han asked him this question suddenly. He looked at Zhu Han in confusion, his heart in his throat.

"Your Highness, this... you don't have to worry about it. You are busy with things, and the East Sea Chamber of Commerce still has a lot of things to deal with. Why did you suddenly think of arranging a marriage for me?"

Ge Rong was a little flattered, but Zhu Han didn't care. He looked at Ge Rong with a smile on his face.

In the past few days, Ge Rong and Wang An have become very popular in Yingtian Prefecture, and the people call them the two heroes of the imperial examinations.

Many noble ladies were eager to indulge in her.

Therefore, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel both proposed to hold a poetry meeting to gather all these outstanding students together.

To be able to choose a good husband for your daughter.

Ge Rong is now the most popular candidate, and Zhu Han also wants to get his help in the future, which is also a good thing.

"You don't have to be nervous. They are planning to hold a poetry meeting at the beginning of next month. You can go with me. If you like any noble lady, tell me. I will not treat you unfairly."

Ge Rong's face turned a little red after hearing what Zhu Han said.

He had just passed the age of 15 and had made such a great success in the imperial examination, gaining recognition from Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han. His future was bright.

If businessmen want to move up the ladder, they must look for scholars to improve their original position.

Ge Rong and Wang An had already become their targets long ago.

"Whatever the prince says is what it is. If the prince is willing to worry about these things for me, then father will be very happy."

Zhu Han was very satisfied, so he arranged for He Fengyu and Ge Rong to take care of all other matters as soon as possible.

A few days ago, he asked He Fengyu to go to other restaurants in Yingtian Prefecture to gather information.

He thought of establishing an intelligence organization in Yingtian Prefecture to gather information about the entire Ming Dynasty and take control of all the officials' affairs.

A single move can affect the entire body and can become a sharp sword in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

Zhu Han arranged for all of them to leave and went to the most famous Zuihua Pavilion in Yingtian Prefecture alone.

The shopkeeper in Zuihua Pavilion was a woman named Yueru.

Although she was a woman, she was able to succeed in business in Yingtian Prefecture and even joined Zhu Han's East China Chamber of Commerce.

On weekdays, the two of them had some interactions. When Yueru saw Zhu Han coming, she quickly arranged a room for Zhu Han in Yage.

"Your Highness, the store has brewed a batch of wine these days, and it will be served to you right away. Your Highness, please listen to some songs today."

Yueru was very respectful to Zhu Han, and when he heard his words, Zhu Han nodded slightly.

Soon, Yueru called out all the talented girls in Zuihua Pavilion.

In front of Zhu Han, everyone started to show their talents, including listening to music, singing, and dancing.

Zhu Han sat in a chair and admired quietly.

These people were all carefully selected by Yueru.

She is pretty and has a hot body, which makes her very useful in dealing with officials and students in Yingtian Prefecture.

Zuihua Pavilion sells art but not bodies. They come here to drink, sing, play chess and drink tea, just for entertainment.

The girls are both talented and able to get a lot of information from these people.

This was what Zhu Han saw in the first place, and that's why he was willing to help Yueru.

"Let them all go first. These girls are really good. Their wages should be increased several times, right?"

Zhu Han said this as he picked up the wine beside him and took a sip.

Yueru was sitting beside Zhu Han, and she smiled faintly when she heard this.

"Your Highness, you are joking. These women were already fallen into prostitution. I rescued them and gave them a chance to live."

"Anyway, as long as you can support yourself, it's enough to work whether you get paid or not. In fact, the girls don't care."

Yueru looked at Zhu Han respectfully.

"Your Highness has not been to Zuihua Pavilion for almost half a year. If you have any instructions today, don't worry. As long as your Highness is rich, Yueru will definitely arrange it properly."

Zhu Han looked at Yueru and laughed.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, the delicate girl he rescued has grown into a straightforward person, which makes Zhu Han look at him with admiration.

"You are really good at managing the dialogue now. It can be seen that you have done your best to train these women."

"I will never treat you unfairly. As long as you work for me, the business in Yingtian Prefecture will naturally be yours."

Yueru looked at Zhu Han seriously, her eyes full of gratitude.

He also had a lot of heartfelt emotions, wanting to tell how he almost got sucked into a brothel.
Zhu Han felt sorry for him and redeemed him. When he learned that he could make wine and had business talent, he helped him open Zuihua Pavilion.

If it weren't for Zhu Han's money, there would be no Zuihua Pavilion today, so Yueru could be completely open-hearted to Zhu Han.

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. Yueru never works for you for the money, but only to repay your kindness."

"Each of these girls has unique skills. Usually, there are powerful martial arts masters from the palace who teach them martial arts. Don't be fooled by their delicate figures, but each of them is a martial arts expert."

Zhu Han didn't take Yueru's words to heart. He looked at Yueru seriously and took out a list.

"You are right. This time I came to see you because I really want to see how strong you girls are."

"The officials on this list are all those who have a say in the court of Yingtian Prefecture. Keep a close eye on them. If they can come to Zuihua Pavilion, they will all serve you wholeheartedly."

"See if you can get some information from them. Be careful not to reveal your secrets, and ensure your own safety."

Yueru took Zhu Han's list with both hands and took a look at it. All the trusted ministers in the court were on the list.
