After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Hearing this, the confidant said "yes" and immediately took the order and left.

Zhao Yong, who was standing aside, had a look of shock in his eyes and hesitation on his face.

He Zhiyong, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was not only Liu Qing's disciple, but also Liu Qing's most loyal supporter.

In Liu Qing's camp, he is considered a relatively influential official.

"If Master attacks him, I'm afraid it will lead to a counterattack from Liu Qing's gang." Zhao Yong paused and said hesitantly: "If Master wants to vent his anger, it would be better to find a few insignificant officials... right?"

They all dared to covet the position under his buttocks, so should he still treat them with courtesy? !

If he endures it this time, won't everyone be able to lay hands on him in the future?

Qian Youcai's eyes darkened slightly, and he said coldly, "It's just right to use him as a warning to others."

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the rumors in the capital to label Fu Yutang as "having no ethics or morals" and kick the brat out of the court.

Now...

Since the brat has taken the initiative to ask for peace with him, and he also needs to free up his hands to deal with Liu Qing's disciples and regain the emperor's trust, the two of them should just coexist peacefully for the time being.

It’s just a pity that his previous careful arrangements were wasted.

But it’s not a waste.

It didn't work on Fu Yutang, but it could be used on officials in Liu Qing's camp in the same way.

Besides, He Zhiyong is not innocent.

At the beginning, he was the first to say that Fu Yutang forced the old man and spread it. He just took advantage of the situation and secretly sent people to expand the scope of the rumor.

"He deserves this." Qian Youcai smiled coldly, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since they were unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust! This is just an appetizer, the real show has just begun..."

……

Tianxiang Teahouse.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, there was silence in the private room.

Jixue's face was grim and her eyes were slightly cold. She stared at Fu Yutang, as if evaluating the truthfulness of her words.

Fu Yutang looked at him without dodging, her eyes were equally deep, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"Are you scared? Or... have you finally discovered the loophole in your plan?"

Ji Xue stared at her expressionlessly with a sullen face. After a long while, she laughed in disbelief and slowly asked, "Master Fu, can you tell me what the loopholes are in Ji's plan?"

"Well, since Master Ji asked sincerely, I will reluctantly give an answer."

Fu Yutang nodded seriously, speaking in a calm voice, as if chatting about family matters, "Suppose everything goes according to Master Ji's plan - Qian Youcai and I really fight to the point of both being hurt, and in the end I try my best to finally pull Qian Youcai down from the position of Minister of Personnel, does Master Ji really think he can enter the court smoothly?"

"Why not?" Jixue asked back.

"You see, this is the loophole I mentioned." Fu Yutang curled his lips, "You set up this game, and it seems that you are the one in charge, but in fact, the initiative and decision-making power are in my hands.

The only thing you can rely on is this - I have no one.

Since I entered the court, apart from interacting with people from the Ministry of Justice, I have no officials on good terms with, let alone disciples.

Therefore, even if I defeated Qian Youcai and successfully brought down his men, I would not have so many suitable candidates to fill the vacant positions.

So, in your opinion, I will only place people in important positions of power."
