Chapter 6 Privy Secretary(1/2)

"Yes!" Ye Changqing responded.

"Shopkeeper Xiahou!"

"The villain is here!"

"Yao'er was arrested, and Mr. Ye is going to take charge of Hongxinglou. Some of my industries will be unattended for a while, and you will take care of them for the time being. If you have a small shopkeeper here, you won't have to worry too much. The main reason is that it is an emergency, you must clean up for me!"

"yes!"

"Shopkeeper Luo!"

"I am here!"

"It's best to concentrate twenty kung fu in your caravan. The corpse wizard who has licked the blood on the knife is always on standby!"

"yes!"

Liu Yongming also ordered: "Except Hongxinglou, other brothels, restaurants, teahouses, gambling stalls, pawn shops, gold and silver jewelry shops must be open normally, so don't let people see the flaws!"

Everyone responded to the order.

"Shopkeeper Yang!"

Liu Yongming looked at a big shopkeeper named Yang in the farthest.

Manager Yang was respectful.

Liu Yongming thought for a while and said, "It's okay, just do it as usual!"

"Yes!" Manager Yang responded.

Liu Yongming stood up from his seat and said, "You remember what you just told me, go and let me be quiet here and think about what to do next!"

Everyone responded, then left quietly...

…………………………………

The next day.

Outside the Jianfu Gate of Daming Palace.

Liu Yongming was wearing a plain linen gown for scholars and sat at the main entrance of Jianfu Gate.

There were many patches on the long gown, and the fraud looked like a beggar.

If you look at it again, you will look more like a poor scholar.

The imperial guards guarding at the entrance of Jianfu Gate ignored it because the beggar sitting there was not something that an imperial guard could afford.

Liu Yongming was holding a long stick in his hand, and there was a pair of broken bowls in front of him, which obviously looked like he was begging for food.

At this moment, a bunch of people came out of the Ming Palace.

Those people are the officials who have just left the court.

When Liu Yongming saw the officials coming out, he suddenly burst into tears:

"I'm sorry, I'm a motherless child, I'll give you some money! Ten taels and twenty taels are not too little, and ten thousand taels are not too much."

Silver is also hard currency under modern industrial conditions.

In the feudal era, the annual expenditure of a wealthy family was only about fifty taels, which was about sixty thousand yuan.

There is no beggar in this world who will ask for money.

The officials of the court recognized the nonsense sixth prince when they heard the beggar's screams.

They hurriedly hid and scattered to both sides and quickly left Jianfu Gate.

When Liu Yongming saw it, he immediately stood up from the ground and shouted: "Lu Yu! You are so old!"

Liu Yongming shouted and ran towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's face was still covered with the injuries he had been beaten two days ago. When he saw Liu Yongming coming, he felt a little confused, but his arrogance of a scholar still stood there.

Liu Yongming rushed forward, pointed at Lu Yu's chest and shouted: "Pay my money! You pay me my money! You don't pay me my money today and want to get out of here!"

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Sixth Master, you smashed my wall and asked me to pay you money?"

"It's not that thing! You don't have this trick either! It must be you! It's not someone else except you!"

Lu Yu took a look around and found that some people who were not serious about the trouble had stopped to watch the fun.

Lu Yu felt a little uncomfortable on his face, and he said angrily: "Sixth Master, who has offended you again and made you vent your anger to this hall?"

Liu Yongming yelled loudly, regardless of the onlookers' gaze, "Did you ask your father to search my brothel?"

"What?"

Liu Yongming said anxiously: "Hongxinglou!"

"Hongxinglou was seized?"

Lu Yu is a great scholar and cannot lie in his educational concepts, but who can speak out in the officialdom?

But Lu Yu's unaware expressions don't look very similar.

Liu Yongming was about to speak when a small eunuch ran out of Jianfu Gate.

Liu Yongming saw the little eunuch at a glance. He waved his hand and said, "Come on the small table! Come on! Help me judge me! He refused to admit this old boy Lu Yu!"

The little eunuch is named Zhuo Ying, and Liu Yongming calls him a small table.

Zhuo Ying came to Liu Yongming, how could he dare to take on Liu Yongming's words?

Zhuo Ying bowed and said to Liu Yongming: "Sixth Master, the emperor is here to announce you."

Liu Yongming asked curiously: "Father announced me? You are not wrong with the small table, are you?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "How fresh, the prince is begging for food at the entrance of Jianfu Gate, and it is a strange conversation for all ages. Can the emperor treat such things as gamble?"

Liu Yongming ignored Lu Yu's cold words and asked Zhuo Ying: "Did the father say Xuan? Not the one who said he was tied up?"

Zhuo Ying shook her head and said, "It's either tied up or said Xuan."

Liu Yongming breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Did your father know about me begging here?"

Zhuo Ying replied: "I understand, someone has reported it to the emperor. Then I asked the servant to announce you."

Liu Yongming asked carefully: "Are your father very angry now?"

Zhuo Ying recalled and said, "It was because she was angry and had a lot of fire. You might as well go and see you!"

"No!" Liu Yongming said with a breath of anger, "I'll talk about it when I ask for justice from this little old man Lu Yu."

Lu Yu is actually in his forties and under fifty years old. He is in his prime and cannot be considered an old man.

Lu Yu looked at Liu Yongming and smiled and said, "Sixth Master, you really blamed me this time!"

"Who will care about such little things except you, the defender!"

Lu Yuying said: "Song Xian, Minister of War!"

Liu Yongming was stunned and asked himself softly: "How could it be him?"

When Lu Yu heard Liu Yongming's words, he quickly smiled and said, "Sixth Master, it's not me that you really have to admit your bad luck this time! You can't control this matter! Do you think I can leave?"

Lu Yu was so proud that he was about to leave, but Liu Yongming didn't let him go so easily.

Liu Yongming grabbed Lu Yu and asked, "What the hell is Song Xian doing?"

Lu Yu looked around and saw some people watching around him.

Liu Yongming hurriedly shouted at the onlookers: "What are you looking at! Get out of here, let's go to your house for dinner tonight! You can walk away two steps at the small table."

The onlookers heard Liu Yongming shouting and quickly scattered.

Zhuo Ying also took two steps back.

As the crowd dispersed, Lu Yu then spoke in Liu Yongming's ear and said softly: "Sixth Master, I don't know anything else, but it seems that I heard it was to catch a fugitive!"

Liu Yongming said angrily: "He is a minister of the Ministry of War, so he is too broad-minded! The magistrate is in charge of the magistrate, the public security and order are staring at the Military and Masjid, and the Criminal Department is also watching the Ministry of Justice. What is the matter with the Minister of the Ministry of War! Override of authority! This is not override of authority!"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "You can't not know what Song Xian is doing! You'd better eat this turtle! You can afford to be the Minister of Rites in this hall, but you can't afford to be a minister of the Ministry of War!"

Liu Yongming was just an idle prince and did not have any power in the court.

Because of his unreasonable self-setting and his slutty skills, many officials in the court were afraid of him, and they were nicknamed Yan Luo.

But there are still some people in the court who can't afford to offend him, and Song Xian, the Minister of War, is one of them.

There is a Privy Council under the Ministry of War, which is under the jurisdiction of Song Xianzong.

The Privy Council was originally external, and its function was to spy on information from other countries. Later, it also worked part-time counter-espionage work.

In addition to counter-espionage, the emperor also needed to monitor some special people, so he had a great demand for intelligence work.

However, the emperor did not want to set up new functional departments, which caused redundant personnel, so he combined some of the secret intelligence work within the area into the Privy Council.

In any case, the Privy Council was a secret spy organization, and Song Xian was the secret spy leader of the Great Han Kingdom.

Although the officials of the court can report various situations directly to the emperor, there is only one who can report the abnormal actions and privacy of officials to the emperor.

Although Song Xian was just the Minister of War, many people were afraid of his power and did not dare to conflict with him.
