The original person does not reject those who use gold and silver to get promoted, but hates those who can't do anything and just use money to clear the way when trouble comes.

Those people are of no use to me at all. If you still want to be promoted, just dream!

Meng Tao didn't know how to express his gratitude to Xie Ji. He thought he would stay in that position for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that it would give him such a big surprise.

You must know that the Prime Minister does not promote people easily, or that every promotion is inexplicable. He only likes to remove those officials who are dissatisfied, but rarely arranges for his own people to be promoted. This has caused many officials to worry as soon as they take the position.

My butt was unstable, and I was always on guard against Xie Ji making mistakes.

Many people have never understood why Xie Ji likes to pull people into trouble so much, but they don't mind other people trying to get in on him. Anyway, there are very few people who can avoid being targeted by Xie Ji in court.

However, the original person knew that his Majesty particularly hated those greedy people, and would rather be lacking than being excessive, and would not just randomly find someone to take those positions, so he allowed those people to fight for power, and sooner or later he would end up in disgrace.

At the same time, the original person also likes to beat down those clowns one by one. Those who should be dismissed from office, and those who should be distributed, few people can stand in the court for more than ten years without falling, unless they are in less important positions, like those who revise documents

Yes, the original person would not deliberately target it.

At the same time, the original person also likes to embarrass those ministers. Two of them are Xie Ji's people. One is Chen Jian, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and the other is Liu Ji, the minister of the Ministry of industry. He will not accept anyone who says he is a member of Xie Ji.

He liked to be in trouble, because he was often scolded by the original body and dared not express it. Xie Ji thought that the original body had a gentle appearance in front of outsiders, and even more dignified appearance in the court.

But behind the scenes, I have a bad temper. As long as I do something that is not in line with my original intention, I will curse. Of course, I am not just scolding, but I am looking for reasons while cursing.

Naturally, there are very few people who can save face in front of everyone, so the person being scolded feels honored to be scolded, because if Xie Ji thinks you are hopeless, he will not scold you, just

I will transfer you away secretly without saying a word.

"Prime Minister, I can't repay the kindness of the Prime Minister. Even if the Prime Minister asks me to pay for it with my life, I will have no regrets." Meng Tao's eyes were firm. How could he be treated like this by the Prime Minister? What's more, the Prime Minister

Never treated him badly.

"To offset it with your life? No need, I want the entire household department to be under my control." Xie Ji had a headache when he thought of the household minister. Even though he was the prime minister, the household minister did not dare to openly disobey him.

But are there still few small tricks done secretly?

I remember that I was punished by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who had Wang Cen’s backing, otherwise I would not have the courage to go against Xie Ji. I was so angry at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance that I poured a cup of tea on him.

On his face, although the incident was impeached in the end, the original person felt relieved.

Xie Ji had a headache when he thought about his reputation as a treacherous minister, and when he thought about the people being exploited like leeks, he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he used to be an ordinary citizen.

Although I am extremely noble now, I still have the idea that everyone is equal in my heart, and this cannot be changed.

What's more, if he wants to change this era, he must start with taxation. Taxation is under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although he is the prime minister, his intervention is limited. What's more, the Minister of Household Affairs cannot deal with him, and it is even less possible to follow Xie Ji's wishes.

manage.

Even if he obtains His Majesty's approval, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance will definitely be a stumbling block behind his back. If the Ministry of Finance is not completely controlled, everything will be in vain.

In his first film, he first promoted Meng Tao to the position of Minister of Household Affairs, and then tried to find a way to remove the Minister of Household Affairs and replace him with Meng Tao. From memory, this Meng Tao is still talented, and he is not as good as those

Just like a person who is on a vegetarian diet, it is better to leave it to him than to train someone you are not familiar with.

As for age, age is not an issue. If he sticks to tradition like those old stubborns, then he may get twice the result with half the effort.

This Meng Tao has the vitality that a young man should have and the courage to adapt, which is exactly the temperament he wants. After all, he has some ideas that are not suitable for this world, and those old stubborns will not accept them.

This Meng Tao, as can be seen from this incident, is not a conservative person, nor does he only follow the rules of the past. This kind of person is more suitable.

Meng Tao heard that Xie Ji wanted to take control of the Household Department. What did the Prime Minister want to do? Aren't nearly half of the people in the Household Department controlled by the Prime Minister?

"The truth is that He Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is already old. At such an age, why don't you entertain your grandchildren at home and enjoy family happiness? You shouldn't work so hard." Xie Ji thought about it and said something. Everyone knows that he and

It makes sense that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance has a grudge.

Boss?? Meng Tao wanted to laugh when he heard this. He Yan was only in his forties and was called boss by the Prime Minister. It seems that He Yan really offended the Prime Minister, but it is not easy to pull him down.

.

After all, he is a minister, not another low-ranking official. Removing a minister will have a certain impact.

However, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is really a bit annoying. He talks about propriety, justice, integrity, ethics and morals all day long, and follows the old system in everything. If there is a slight change, it means disrespecting the laws of the ancestors. What it was like before, it can only be regarded as the same now.

Nothing can change at all.

And he was a bit dependent on his elders, thinking that he was older than Xie Ji, so he pointed out Xie Ji and regarded Xie Ji as a junior. It was because of this that Xie Ji poured tea on his face, and finally caused trouble in the entire court.

.

In the end, His Majesty persuaded us to make peace, and everyone took a step back, and this matter came to an end.

Of course, this turmoil has not yet ended, and is still going on secretly.

Xie Ji thought that even if he did not have to resign his official post to live in retirement, he would still have to be removed from his position as Minister of Household Affairs. He would not do anything in that position. In that case, why not let someone with talent take the position

Woolen cloth?

If you don’t do practical things all day long, you only know how to follow ancient rituals

"Why are you still kneeling down? Why don't you get up quickly and tell me how you did this bandit suppression?" Xie Ji couldn't help but think of his embarrassing side when he mentioned this matter. After all, he was captured by the bandits.

, so embarrassing.

However, rather than being embarrassed, this time taught him a lesson. If he goes out in the future, he will never go out alone. It is really dangerous in ancient times. If there is any accident, he will become a guest of thieves like him.

Here, he also reminds all friends who are time travelers to pay attention to safety when going out, especially in ancient times, it was even more careless.

Xie Ji wanted to hear that he was originally responsible for suppressing the bandits, but he made no contribution at all and let the people below him work hard. Well, does this count as picking up what is already available? Therefore, he gave Meng Tao an official position, maybe he also

The psychology of compensation is probably there.

Meng Tao stood up unceremoniously and began to tell how he suppressed the bandits. The time, place, characters, causes, processes, and results were all explained clearly. Even the middle section where he pretended to be Xie Ji,

The transmission of Xie Ji's orders and the private use of Xie Ji's seal were all clearly explained.

After saying that, he looked at Xie Ji's face and was ready to punish him.

After hearing these words, Xie Ji thought to himself that this was indeed very courageous. If he were the original person, he would definitely mind. After all, he is a very controlling person and naturally does not allow anyone to steal his authority.

Perhaps, following urgent matters, the original person would not argue with Meng Tao, but there was definitely a thorn in his heart.

However, if it were him, Xie Ji, he wouldn't be able to do it. If it were him, Xie Ji, he would definitely do the same thing if he encountered this kind of thing. If Meng Tao doesn't be bolder this time, the consequences may be unimaginable, and he may really

The fold is there.

"Not bad, indeed not bad." Xie Ji praised it without hesitation.

"Prime Minister, your prime minister has put your seal back and has never used it again." Meng Tao thought that there was such a thing as a seal, so he looked at Xie Ji nervously.

"It's okay, Zihou." Zihou is Meng Tao's nickname.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with those thieves?" Meng Tao asked. If those thieves are not dealt with properly, the consequences may be greater.

"Thieves, thieves..." Xie Ji kept saying these two words. There are so many thieves, how to deal with them? It is indeed a problem.

"Let it go for now. We'll deal with it later." He hasn't made a decision yet, after all, it's not easy to deal with.

"What about the Hengyang Order?" Meng Tao asked. He had been unhappy with this man for a long time. Being with him would really lower his aesthetics.

"Hengyang Order, this person is not enough to be the county magistrate. Let's find a reliable person to take his place temporarily." After Xie Ji finished speaking, he thought that he still had a lot of people under his command, and he didn't care about their official positions unless he really wanted to.

There are few arrangements for anything else that interests him. He is the prime minister, and no matter who is the county magistrate, they dare not disobey him.

Therefore, he ignored those who wanted to curry favor with him. One of them, the original person thought, was a bit unrealistic and unavailable, but Xie Ji was somewhat interested.

This person's ancestor was a famous prime minister of the dynasty, and died serving the founding emperor. However, the family was weak, and after seven or eight generations, it was no longer as prosperous as it was back then.

That man was expelled from his family for fawning over Xie Ji, and now he has to make a living by selling calligraphy and painting on the street. The original family didn't value him, so he has been depressed and frustrated.

However, Xie Ji thought that man was quite interesting. He actually dared to risk being expelled from the family to seek refuge with him, and his speech was not like those scholars who could only talk nonsense.

Many scholars today feel ashamed to take refuge in Xie Ji, thinking that taking refuge in Xie Ji means collaborating with treacherous officials. Those scholars are disdainful and even disgusted with Xie Ji's actions.

Therefore, after that man took refuge with Xie Ji, not only did he have a difficult life, he was expelled from his family, and was despised by his classmates and friends. Fortunately, he still had some talent, otherwise he would have to be reduced to begging for a living.
