The snow in northern Xinjiang looked like a girl who was meeting her foreign man for the first time. She was too shy and refused to come out. She wanted to reject him but still wanted to welcome him. But when Ning Xing looked around, he saw that it was already a vast expanse of white.

There was a heavy snowfall last night, making the snow in the city even deeper.

In the early morning, not a single pedestrian was seen on the street, and even the patrolling sergeant found a place to hide.

The door to Liu's house opened.

Liu Xiang stood inside the gate, feeling a cold air rushing towards him.

He took a step outside, and the snow suddenly covered his knees.

"Alang, be careful!"

The servants came out with shovels ready to shovel the snow.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Xiang stopped them.

This is……

The steward looked at Liu Xiang.

Liuxiang walked step by step towards the middle of the street.

Phew!

Phew!

Every step is difficult.

Liu Xiang stood in the middle of the street and looked up.

"It's completely white, it's so clean!"

Liu Xiang said with a smile.

But the manager knew that his smile was a bitter smile.

When the Minister of War became vacant, the eldest princess pushed Liu Xiang out.

The news that the emperor and Lin Ya each sent an army to attack northern Xinjiang spread within a small area.

Both the emperor and Lin Ya called their most outstanding counselors and famous generals to conduct the simulation countless times.

Ninety percent!

Both sides came to this conclusion almost unanimously.

Ninety percent, this is almost a certainty.

As a result, the competition for the Secretary of the Ministry of War changed from a three-legged confrontation to a fight between two tigers.

The emperor and Lin Ya were fighting secretly, and Changling seemed a little lonely.

As a chess piece, Liu Xiang's position is the most embarrassing.

Jiang Zheng, the Minister of Hubu, was a member of Lin Ya and knew about this. Therefore, he often ridiculed him in the Hubu.

What are you still doing in my household department?

Go quickly!

Go to the Ministry of War!

The position of Minister of War is waiting for you!

But everyone familiar with the matter is saying that Liuxiang has no chance of doing this.

The army was dispatched.

They quickly cleared the snow from the middle of the street to both sides, and a narrow passage appeared.

Liuxiang followed this passage all the way to Hubu.

He came late today, but he was not the only one, most of the people in the household department were late.

When we entered the duty room, the clerk hadn't finished lighting the charcoal fire, and the room was as cold as an ice cave.

Liu Xiang stamped his feet, "Make a cup of hot tea."

When no one responded, Liu Xiang turned around, and the clerk who had been sweeping the house ran away.

"Does this mean I'm going to collapse?"

The tea got cold before anyone left!

Liu Xiang laughed at himself.

Among yamen such as the Ministry of Finance, the clerk's sense of smell is the most sensitive.

Liuxiang, as the Minister of Household Affairs, has a small staff dedicated to serving him.

This kind of petty officials and he are both honored and humiliated.

But now the petty officials are slacking off, which shows that they want to avoid disaster.

He shook his head, and just as he was about to sit down, a clerk appeared outside the door.

"Shilang Liu."

"What's the matter?"

"Shang Shu invites you to go."

"immediately."

Liu Xiang stood there in deep thought for a while, pondering Jiang Zheng's thoughts.

Later, he went to Jiang Zheng.

Several giants from the Household Department are on duty.

"I see you're tired. Why don't you go home and rest for a while?"

Jiang Zheng was very kind, but there was a chill in his words.

Liu Xiang smiled and said, "Xia Guan is in good health."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. But please take care of yourself!"

When these words spread, everyone knew that Liuxiang's days in the Ministry of Revenue were counting down.

Liu Xiang returned to the check-in room and said he would go out to do errands later.

He walked around the street and finally came to the outside of the eldest princess's mansion.

"The eldest princess, Mr. Liu wants to see you."

Changling was leaning against the window reading a book. Hearing this, he glanced at the maid, then gently opened the window and took a look outside.

Snowflakes are flying, the roof is covered with snow, and it looks particularly enchanting when it is covered in snow.

She got up and went to the front.

Liu Xiang and Wang Ju were talking. When they saw her coming, they saluted.

"I've met the eldest princess."

Changling sat down and said, "It's difficult to travel in this snowy day, but is there something urgent?"

Liu Xiang smiled bitterly, "Over at the Ministry of Revenue, Jiang Zheng is aggressive and wants to force me to leave on my own."

This may seem like a fight below, but its roots lie above the temple.

"Eldest Princess, last time Lin Ya was rejected when wooing us, I thought this was his revenge and a hint." Wang Ju said: "The eldest princess has noble blood, and he dare not take action on the face of it, so the only way is

It’s just squeezing.”

"Squeeze my people out of the court one by one, until I am the only one left."

"yes."

"What's the Emperor's attitude?"

Liu Xiang said: "Chiang Kai-shek's administration is sparse in the court, saying that his ministers are not acting carefully. Your Majesty has no comment."

If you don't act carefully, you won't be reliable.

What the household department needs is carefulness.

Officials who are not reliable in their work will naturally not be retained.

Changling thought of Lin Ya's win over him last time.

First, someone came to praise Changling, saying that Princess Chang was able to assist the government effectively.

These words may seem dry, but they are a kind of suppression of the emperor.

With Changling's help, the emperor gained more power and troops, and then suspicion arose.

As a result, his attitude towards Changling changed drastically, from a close ally to a relationship similar to that between the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his father-in-law.
