Chapter 84 Involves Emperor Jiazhen

After Li Mian returned, he made a test and arranged for Li Dingguo and Jin to stop paying homage to each other and keep all the silver profits that should be handed over to various yamen this month.

Test the attitudes of each yamen and the back-ups they can come up with before making next arrangements.

As for the silver profits brought by the prostitute and gambling house in Lu Yangguan's hands, he can't bear it for the time being. Since the private salt has been sold, it will have a greater effect.

It was enough for Li Dingguo and He Jin to test it out. The 40% silver profit had already caused each government office to lose nearly half of its filial piety silver, achieving the effect of killing parents.

Just a few days after Li Dingguo and He Jin stopped filial piety, officials such as Wan An, Lu Guangzu and others left the government office anxiously, went to their respective superiors to explain the situation, and while removing themselves, they also took all the blame.

Pushed it onto Li Mian's head.

There were two people participating in the fight for the prostitute and gambling house business in Caochangyuan. One was the consort Li Mian and the other was Sun Chuanting.

The officials of Wan'an and Lu Guangzu did not dare to offend Sun Chuanting easily. They just wanted to shirk the blame and find someone to take the blame.

Li Mian, who came from a poor family, couldn't be more suitable. Unlike Sun Chuanting, who has a profound background, he seems to be easy to bully based on his family background. If he doesn't bully Li Mian, he would be sorry for his poor family background.

Wan'an did not receive the filial piety money from Caochangyuan, so he did not feel the slightest anxiety in his heart. He got into the pine-green official sedan and headed to Yan Maoqing's official residence.

The pine and green official sedan stopped at the door of a large house with five entrances. Wan An got out of the official sedan and knocked on the side door. When the concierge opened the red lacquered copper-nailed wooden door, he followed the corridor to the flower hall in the front yard.

He sat on the red rosewood official hat chair. After waiting for a short time, he saw an official walking in the door.

This official is none other than Yan Maoqing, the deputy prime minister.

Wan An stood up quickly and complained endlessly: "Li Mian, who just became the consort, doesn't understand the rules. He is just a consort from a poor family. He dared to touch the profits of many yamen in the capital and arranged for people to rob Caochangyuan.

Forty percent of prostitutes and gambling houses have made another

In order to withhold the filial piety money. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy he used to confuse Sun Chuanting into fooling around with him. Only then did Xiaguan, Lu Guangzu and others arrange a cunning hand, so they didn’t dare to really do it.

As a result, this month’s filial piety money may be gone.”

After Wan An said this, he glanced at Yan Maoqing. He originally thought that he would be furious, use his power to force Li Mian, and quickly lead his people to get out of Caochangyuan.

But what Wan An never expected was that Yan Maoqing was sitting on the main seat in front of the mahogany upturned table, with no unhappy look on his face, holding a peacock glaze bowl and drinking tea slowly.

When the tea in his hand was finished, he put down the peacock glaze tureen and said nonchalantly: "You think that by stopping Caochangyuan's filial piety money, the people you offended are this official and other important officials of the yamen. If so,

You are wrong to think about it. If Li Mian still persists in his obsession, the person he will really offend is not me, but His Majesty."

This sentence made Wan An feel confused. It was just a filial piety from Caochangyuan, so how could it involve Emperor Jiazhen.

The aloof Emperor Jiazhen spent his whole day practicing Taoism at the Three Gates and rarely interfered with the affairs of the court. His pure-hearted and ascetic mentality was rare among emperors of all dynasties.

Over the years, Wan'an has rarely seen Emperor Jiazhen handling major affairs of the court. He has always left it to the eunuch and the cabinet ministers to jointly handle the affairs of the court. How could a filial piety from Caochangyuan involve Emperor Jiazhen?

Wan An felt puzzled. He really couldn't figure out the doorway here, so he could only look at Yan Maoqing with eyes seeking knowledge.

Being an official in the court does not depend on how much talent you have, the key lies in whether you know how to guess the holy will.

As long as we can understand Emperor Jiazhen's thoughts and grasp the context of His Majesty's work, we will not be far from achieving success.

Yan Maoqing ignored his look as if he hadn't seen it, obviously not telling him about Emperor Jiazhen's thoughts that involved the court's secrets.

Wan An is not his nephew, so Yan Maoqing will not support him in this regard and tell Wan An his experience as an official over the years.

If it's a nephew or a nephew, there's another issue.

Yan Maoqing made a riddle, without even saying half of the words. He just made the beginning and signaled to Wan An that he could leave.

Wan An stood up from the red rosewood official hat chair, cupped his hands, and left Yan Maoqing's official residence with a lot of questions.

After returning home, I went to Lu Guangzu's house again, trying to get some information about Emperor Jiazhen from Lu Guangzu and other officials.

The result was that he was disappointed. After Lu Guangzu and other officials came back from their respective bosses' mansions, their expressions were just like his, full of doubts.

Apparently most of their respective superiors said the same thing. The silver profit of Caochangyuan involved Emperor Jiazhen, and they signaled to the officials under him to be calm. They only need to wait a few days, and someone will take care of Li Mian.

Officials such as Wan An and Lu Guangzu did not need to take action personally. The self-righteous Li Mian would have been imprisoned in the imperial edict for offending Emperor Jiazhen.

Don't even think about going to Shuntian Mansion Prison, you will only be imprisoned in imperial prison.

Wan An really couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't wait to know how Caochangyuan was involved with Emperor Jiazhen, so he couldn't help but started talking: "What did you say last time? To be honest with my colleagues, my superior said

An incredible thing happened, a mere farmyard actually involved His Majesty."

Several officials in the flower hall were all drinking Xiao Clam Chun in silence, as if they had nothing to say.

However, their mood was the same as Wan An's, they couldn't wait to guess the holy will and grasp the context of Emperor Jiazhen's work. In this way, there was a possibility of rapid promotion.

Found a shortcut to the south.

When you are an official in the imperial court, you have to be on guard against anyone and cannot tell the truth.

Lu Guangzu and other officials heard Wan An's words that broke the calm, and the flower hall fell into a strange atmosphere. Due to the pressure from Caochangyuan, several people briefly formed cliques in the flower hall.

In order to figure out the shortcut to Zhongnan as soon as possible, Lu Guangzu and other officials became more reticent and expressed their thoughts one after another.

Lu Guangzu was the first to respond to Wan An's inquiry: "I went to see the commander, and the meaning revealed from the commander's mouth was almost the same as what you said. Both inside and outside the words, he said that the Caochangyuan incident was involved.

Your Majesty, there is no need for us to take action, someone will naturally take care of Li Mian."
