The emperor's heart alone

After putting down the words, Xu Yunjin was still unhappy, but this was already the most gentle way he could think of, and he couldn't ask him to be more gentle.The concession he can make for Shi Junji is nothing more than that.

In the smiling face of Guangchusi Langzhong, Xu Yunjin left Guangchusi, walked towards Changping Palace, and paused, but chose to return to the General Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

They wore court clothes when they went out, but they were dressed in red clothes when they came back. Many people stared at Xu Yunjin's figure in surprise, while the other part of the people were still busy with their own affairs and did not look up.

Xu Yunjin frowned and went back to his room, followed by Song Qian, who put a stack of ledgers on Xu Yunjin's desk, Xu Yunjin raised his head and asked Song Qian what it was, Song Qian said: "This is the account book from the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the past month. The general ledger of expenses must be submitted to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for inspection every month."

Xu Yunjin flipped through it casually, and said with a sneer, "Using such a ledger to fool me, I really think I'm easy to bully." He went to look at Song Qian again, "You mean that too?"

Song Qian forced a smile: "Boss, you also know that the House of Internal Affairs has always been unclean, and there is inevitably something wrong with the ledger. Look..." Song Qian dared to say such words to Xu Yunjin, and it was also true. Because he knew Xu Yunjin's temperament, instead of covering up to make Xu Yunjin impatient, he might as well say it directly from the beginning, not to mention that Xu Yunjin is also a businessman, and he knows more about the detours than himself.

Wang Er, Xu Yunjin's general manager in the capital, Song Qian recognized. He said that he was not inferior to anyone in the capital who would read the account books. Take a second look, is there anything you don't know?Besides, Song Qian didn't think that Xu Yunjin couldn't see something wrong with the ledger.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the affairs of the court and the royal family, and there is no shortage of oil and water in it. There are even cases where an egg can cost as much as a dozen or twenty taels. I still know how much an egg costs, but now that I have taken a look at the account book, where can I not see the way?

Xu Yunjin threw the ledger on the table, tapped his fingers on the table and remained silent. His initial idea with Shi Junji was to take a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, mainly to facilitate him to control the private treasury in Shi Junji's Changping Palace, so as to deceive others. That's all, it's just that Shi Junji's decree has made himself the head of the House of Internal Affairs.

If he had nothing to do with Shi Junji, Xu Yunjin wouldn't care what the House of Internal Affairs is like. Unfortunately, he and Shi Junji are together now, and the House of Internal Affairs is the inner court. No matter what Xu Yunjin thinks, he thinks it belongs to his family It's family business.When Xu Yunjin saw that it cost more than a dozen taels to buy an egg and a few tens of taels to buy a catty of rice, Xu Yunjin found it dazzling.

It has to be said that businessmen are very narrow-minded in a certain way. They may not make a lot of money, but they use the smallest price in exchange for the highest profit, and Xu Yunjin is the same.The house of internal affairs looks comfortable on the paper, but in private, they don't know how much money the royal family has been greedy for. Xu Yunjin understands the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish. However, they have gone too far, which Xu Yunjin absolutely cannot bear.

Song Qian's heart went up and down with Xu Yunjin's finger tapping. After a long time, he couldn't help but reach out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, not daring to take a breath.Xu Yunjin suddenly looked at Song Qian: "How long have you been in the House of Internal Affairs?"

"More than a year."

"You can't even count as an old man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Xu Yunjin was thoughtful, "With your qualifications, you can't be in your current position. Was it arranged by your father?"

Song Qian nodded: "I'm a low-ranking official, and my ability is very limited. To be able to achieve the current position, my father has indeed contributed a lot."

Xu Yunjin didn't take it seriously, having his father's help came second, the most important thing was Song Qian's own ability, otherwise, Song Qian wouldn't have been promoted so quickly, but what he needed was exactly such a person to help He is capable, tactful, and everyone knows what he can't see the past, and he doesn't know how to publicize it. He knows how to be an official, and he has a family blessing behind him. It is not commonplace, and people are young and energetic, so they will not be stale and static.

Song Qian was quite uncomfortable being looked at by Xu Yunjin's eyes. Fortunately, before Song Qian couldn't help it, Xu Yunjin opened his mouth first: "Ming people don't swear, you and I have met before, and you know me if you think about it. temperament, all I want is your words: follow me, or not follow me?"

Song Qian was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Xu Yunjin meant, but after three seconds, Song Qian understood, is Xu Yunjin planning to attack the Ministry of Internal Affairs?Song Qian didn't answer immediately, it should be said that he was very embarrassed.

The situation formed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the years, Song Qian actually did not really believe that Xu Yunjin would successfully change it, not to mention the pressure from outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just say that inside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is not corrupt?This place is too dirty, even if the emperor handles it himself, it may not be possible to clean up the House of Internal Affairs.Xu Yunjin is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but when all the people below are unwilling to carry out what the head says, the position of the head is good-looking, but he can't do anything.

Now people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have acquiesced in the existence of Xu Yunjin. Xu Yunjin's cruelty only accounted for a small part of the reason. The most important thing is that Xu Yunjin did not do anything to harm their interests, but if Xu Yunjin really moved the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Song Qian Qian promised that the group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs would oppose the protest first.

If he was on Xu Yunjin's side, he would undoubtedly be isolated by then.

However, now that he is standing here considering which side he is on, he certainly does not think that Xu Yunjin is incapable at all.First of all, Xu Yunjin's sudden and inexplicable appointment as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a big mystery. There was no rumor before, and no matter how dense the members of the Xu family were, Song Qian did not think that the emperor would hand over the Ministry of Internal Affairs to them, so Said, there must be something wrong with this.

Furthermore, Xu Yunjin beat people on the first day he took office, but the emperor not only did not blame Xu Yunjin for his recklessness, but even demoted those who refused to obey the discipline directly from their posts. This is even more strange. It is not difficult to see that the emperor Covering up Xu Yunjin.So why is this?

Third, Xu Yunjin always goes to Changping Palace.In fact, this is not too strange. After all, every head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will always report the situation to the emperor or ask the reason. Usually, he will go to see the emperor once every two or three days. Xu Yunjin is a bit diligent in going every day, but it can also be inferred that Xu Yunjin It was to show up in front of the emperor to gain favor, but Song Qian could see the strange things clearly.His position is actually to assist the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do things. Whether it is the account books or other matters, he needs to report to Xu Yunjin, and Xu Yunjin will make a decision.But since Xu Yunjin entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, people from the house came every day, but most of the affairs were handled by himself, so why did Xu Yunjin go to Changping Palace?And every time I stay for a whole day.

Fourth, he already knew about Guangchusi.Although the Guangchu Division is one of the departments under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is a distance from the General Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the information transmission between the two is actually very convenient and close. Just as Xu Yunjin walked towards the General Mansion , someone over there has already passed on the matter of Guangchusi, and he knows that it is not a rare thing.But here comes the question again, who went to Guangchu Division to inform Xu Yunjin to make court clothes?And why do you want to make new court clothes?

The time was too short, and Song Qian found limited things, but he knew that the young eunuch who went to Guangchu Division to make new official uniforms came from Changping Palace, and who is the master of Changping Palace?It's the emperor!

It seems that all the clues point to the current emperor. Whenever he thinks of Song Qian, he feels trembling all over. He faintly feels that there is the figure of the emperor behind this incident. He doesn't know the identity between Xu Yunjin and the emperor, but behind Xu Yunjin stands the emperor. , this is beyond doubt.

This is where Song Qian's wavering lies, but the water in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too deep. Song Qian doubts whether the emperor can really solve the problem of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If he is on the wrong team...

Xu Yunjin saw Song Qian's hesitation at a glance, and understood Song Qian's hesitation very well.So far, he has not done anything that can represent his own strength. Song Qian believes in himself unreservedly, so he feels something is wrong, so he said with a smile: "You don't trust me It’s also normal, but smart people always make choices that are best for themselves, don’t they? I believe you will make choices that are best for you.”

There was a smile on the corner of Song Qian's mouth, but he had an answer in his heart.

"By the way, I remember that your Song family was very close to the Chu family before." Xu Yunjin said suddenly.

Song Qian froze, Xu Yunjin was right. Before Chu Renhong fell from power, his family and the Chu family were indeed very close. If not for his father's level with Chu Renhong, he would have become a subsidiary of the Chu family long ago. .

"The ending of the Chu family can be regarded as good, and it is very pitiful." Xu Yunjin shook his head regretfully, "But who made the Chu family have to fight against the emperor? Today the world is peaceful, and even the Baihe Sect has disappeared into the hands of the current emperor. Since the Empress Dowager who was in charge of the power back then was also very good, how could such an emperor look at a big moth sitting at his feet without doing anything?"

Seeing Song Qian's tense face, Xu Yunjin said softly, "Song Qian, are you right?"

"...Of course it is right." Song Qian thought of the ending of the Chu family, the queen mother who was seriously ill, and the emperor who had never been merciful to anyone in these years, and finally said, "The emperor is wise and powerful, compared to my founding emperor in Daping. Don't give in too much."

Satisfied, Xu Yunjin smiled and threw the ledger to Song Qian: "I want a real ledger that hasn't been altered. I think you can do it, right?"

Song Qian stooped to pick up the ledger, and said in a deep voice, "I won't let the manager down."

"Very good." Xu Yunjin stood up, walked to Song Qian's side, and whispered in his ear: "Trust me, you won't be disappointed." After finishing speaking, Xu Yunjin moved away from Song Qian's side, "Okay Come on, go down."

Xu Yunjin squinted his eyes, saw Song Qian leaving and walked out of the house, turned his head to Qingpei and said, "Go back to Xu's Mansion."
