But now that Ren Yu was the only noble lord in the palace, the Ren family was delighted but also wary. They feared their plea would fail, and Ren Yu's favor would be affected, which would be a loss for them.
So Su Man was using Ren Yu's position in exchange for Ren Yu's ability to stay out of the matter and help her control the Ren family.
Ren Yuding knew Su Man's thoughts, so when Su Man gave him a position, he used Di Zixiao as an example, fearing that he would be demoted and neglected like Di Zixiao after he was no longer useful.
But after he got the promise that Su Man would never take his position as the noble king, Ren Yu felt relieved. In this way, a balance of mutual restraint was achieved.
But such a balance is short-lived. Once the final judgment comes down, it will inevitably be disrupted. So before that, Suman still needs someone.
This person is Miao Ruicai.
This person also worked in the Ministry of Revenue, but because he had a conflict with the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was not given an important position.
After Su Man's investigation, she decided that this person could be used and could even become an important figure in her efforts to overthrow the Minister of Revenue.
But how can I contact him?
If Miao Ruicai was summoned to the palace directly, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the Minister of Revenue.
If she sent the letter, her every move would be watched by countless people, and even the palace maids around her might not be loyal.
We still have to think of a foolproof plan.
-
The next day, Suman proposed to hold a hunting party at the morning court and sincerely invited all relatives and friends to participate.
The female minister was the first to object, "Your Majesty, this is a time of great turmoil. Organizing a hunting expedition would be a waste of money and manpower. Taxes from all regions have not yet been collected. Such extravagance at this time is simply unwise!"
Su Man slapped the armrest and said, "Without money, what is the Ministry of Revenue doing? After the court session, all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue, from top to bottom, come to the Qinzheng Hall and tell me one by one where the Ministry of Revenue's money has been spent!"
“…”
Although Su Man was furious, no one in the Ministry of Revenue, from top to bottom, had a sense of crisis. They just thought that Su Man was just throwing a tantrum because she had nothing to do.
In this way, after the morning court session, the Ministry of Revenue and its entourage were all kept in the palace.
