For an official, strong ability is certainly important.
Being thick-skinned is also a way for an official: the imperial court in the capital had been under the rule of Princess Bai'an for some time, and had a certain understanding of her temperament. They knew that she was a ruthless and hard-hearted person, and no one dared to act rashly; at the local level, especially in the wealthy areas of Huguang, there were a few officials who were stubborn enough not to hand in their resignations, but they said a lot of disrespectful words after drinking, mostly making fun of Princess Bai'an's gender and rich marriage history.
Princess Bai'an did not give them time to beg for mercy. The time they had to wear official hats was the same as the time it took them to travel back and forth between the capital and the local areas - basically, their positions were liquidated within ten days.
Of course, the reason for dismissal would not be secretly talking about the leader, but employees who dare to talk about the leader in public generally cannot have other secrets.
Just like pulling a carrot, he pulls the pigtail and hits it right away.
Within ten days, the officials in Huguang changed several times.
When the ten-day date came and the court was reopened, even the trembling old minister, who looked as if the sky was about to fall, came to the court as if nothing had happened.
Others teased him: "I thought the old man would let me sacrifice my blood to show my loyalty and die to show my loyalty, so that Princess Bai'an would suffer a little bit~"
The old official looked straight ahead and said, "The court has nurtured me, cultivated me, helped me, and protected me for all these years. How can it allow me to be so willful and abandon the people?"
Others: If you loosen your grip on Yuhuan a little, it might seem less utilitarian.
Men, especially men in office, are the best at self-ventilation. It takes at least one or two hundred years for a representative minister of remonstrance to die in the Golden Palace.
Now if I calculate with my fingers, I guess that year has not yet arrived.
If you want to make progress, don't make mistakes.
Under the crisis of being optimized, the civil and military officials of the court have unified their cognition, clarified their direction, and strengthened their beliefs. Let's go all the way north and work until we cry. The Ministry of Rites took the lead in proposing this year's KPI. We fully support the enthronement of Princess Bai'an! We will strive to complete the preparations for the enthronement ceremony in two months! New dragon robes and other things are guaranteed!
Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of War responded: The Two Imperial Guards, Xijiao Camp, and Jingji Divine Soldiers Camp are always ready to be inspected!
With the active response of the six ministries, the plan for Princess Bai'an's coronation ceremony was quickly implemented.
The Ministry of Rites originally wanted to make a big fuss and create a stir to please the new leader, so they made a very long shopping list and ambitiously promoted Princess Bai'an as "the greatest emperor of all time."
The Ministry of Revenue wanted to tear the Ministry of Rites to pieces: Damn it, you are the most sensible person in the world, if you have the ability, just pay all the money!
Oh shit.
After Old Man Hu from the Ministry of Revenue finished cursing with gnashing teeth, he turned around and carried some Hui ink to the gate of the Qiao family, avoiding the father and son of the Qiao family. He first gave Chen Fu a pot of peach blossom wine, and then went to find Xianjin.
She cried, "It's not that we don't have money, it's that all the money has a use. The two islands in the east are restless, we have to be vigilant at all times, and the military expenditure in the west can't be cut... It's such a long list, where can I get the money! Where can I get the money!"
Old Man Hu was crying: "It's just too much money, I can't keep it. I've really run out of options, so I came to you - others may not know, but how can I not know the relationship between you and that person? There are some things that only you can say!"
Old man Hu only hated that he was old and ugly, and had no other way to please this hidden power center. He could only beat his chest and take advantage of his age and seniority: "No matter what! Anyway, I have no money, no money!"
Xianjin was stunned: the imagined business war - shorting the opponent's stock price; the actual business war - watering the opponent's money tree to death!
Imaginary political struggle - I am the mantis stalking the cicada, but the oriole is behind me, and I will kill you by surprise with a sudden counterattack;
The actual political struggle—the crazy old man went crazy on the spot: I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care!
Xianjin scratched his head and thought for a while: "The Grand Princess has gone through a lot of hardships, so she won't accept some extravagant gifts if you don't ask. The rest can't be reduced. If the Ministry of Revenue is really in trouble, I will find a way."
Old man Hu burst into tears, thinking in his heart: The eldest princess is now over 40 years old, so she can work for another 30 or 40 years without any problem. By the time the young princess takes over, he will be exactly 90 years old, which is the right age for innovation!
A gentleman will die for his friend!
Xianjin doesn’t even know that he has a 90-year-old fan.
After seeing off Old Man Hu, he wrote a letter back to Nanzhili. He originally wanted to find the Xuancheng Chamber of Commerce, but after thinking about it, he decided to go the route of Old Xiong.
Lao Xiong was appointed as the head of Nanzhili. Jiangnan has always been prosperous, so a little bleeding is not a big deal.
After Xianjin sent a letter, Xiong Youyou and her son Cui Ayuan came over in grand style.
The mother and son are now waiting in the side room of Marquis Zhongwu.
Everyone got off their horses, Qiao Fangzhi explained the specifications of the New Year's Eve family dinner, Qiao Hui went to the West Hill, Xianjin took off his cloak and went into the house, Xiong Youyou was holding the chubby eldest son Cui Yuan, and was eating sweet potato pancakes with red peat. When she saw Xianjin coming in, she put her eldest son aside, stood up and greeted him: "But I am exhausted! First I took a boat and then a carriage, and after arriving in Beijing, I hurried to take a bath and change clothes at the post station - I have to eat lunch later before leaving."
Xianjin opened his arms and hugged Ayuan, saying repeatedly: "Ouch, ouch - it's too heavy, auntie can't hold me anymore!"
Xiong Youyou slapped Xianjin on the back of his hand: "You can't say you've gained weight or become fat in front of a child! You can't say you're smart! You can't say you're good-looking!"
What kind of nonsense is this.
Xianjin nodded happily: "Okay, okay - our A Yuan is really an ugly little bean sprout."
Only then did Xiong Youyou feel satisfied.
After not seeing each other for three years, they are not unfamiliar with each other. Xiong Youyou looks very good. It is understandable that her uncle is firmly in the powerful position of the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, her husband Cui Heng has a successful career and has been promoted to the position of the prefect of Xuancheng Prefecture, her eldest son is well-behaved and has started school smoothly, and there are no troubles at home. The only troublemaker mother-in-law has been left in Jing County. Now, after handing her eldest son to Aunt Zhang, she is eating the golden candied dates calmly.
