Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 068

After Xiao Luo left from the imperial study, he went to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households respectively, and explained the affairs of both sides. For the list of personnel selected in the past few days, Xiao Luo directly made arrangements for them to arrive step by step. Each gets things done.

As for their appointments, Xiao Mingyuan entrusted him with full authority, so naturally there was no need to make other arrangements, and everything could proceed as normal.

For each vacant position, everyone took the position, and Xiao Luo confirmed that Tao Shuo and Wu Jing were selected for the positions of the two most important ministers. It must be running without any problems.

As for Xiao Luo, these are all arranged now, so there is one more thing to do today, which is to go to the mansion that Xiao Mingyuan prepared for him. Perhaps it was Xiao Luan and Xiao Cheng who had been staring at his side all the time, saying that they wanted to separate the mansion, and those people just wanted him to draw a line with Ding Wang's mansion.

Xiao Luo sat in the carriage and told the driver to go straight to the Ninth Prince's mansion that now belongs to him.

Soon, Xiao Luo's carriage arrived at the location of the mansion where he lives now.

"Your Highness, here we are."

Xiao Luo got down from the carriage and looked at the huge mansion in front of him. On the gate, there was a big, big Nine Prince's Mansion written on it.

He went straight in, and all the servants in the mansion had come to greet him.

Everyone knelt down and saluted Xiao Luo in unison, and then an old man standing at the front stepped forward and said respectfully to Xiao Luo: "Your Highness Ninth, this old slave is the steward of this mansion, this old slave The surname is Bai, when His Highness first came, the old slave led His Highness, and was familiar with everything in the mansion."

Xiao Luo did not refuse, "Then there will be Butler Lao Bai."

Butler Bai said respectfully: "Your Highness is serious, these are what old slaves should do."

Xiao Luo walked around the mansion with the butler, looking at this place, it was indeed everything, and all the servants were well arranged, they were all prepared by Xiao Mingyuan for him, so most of these people are Xiao Mingyuan's people.

……

On the other side, in the Prince's Mansion, in the study.

"Uncle, Xiao Luo has already moved into the mansion prepared for him by the royal father. If the royal father does this, how will I, the crown prince, look good?"

"The emperor has completely allowed Xiao Luo to enter the game. The purpose of Xiao Luo's proposal of independent government is for this purpose, and the emperor's doing this is to give him a chance."

Xiao Luan looked depressed, "Uncle, now the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, all the officials over there have been replaced. Under Xiao Luo's management, the two departments are now completely unfamiliar to us. , is very critical among the six departments. Although the remaining Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Industry are all under our control, they are not comparable to those two departments. , the people at the bottom are a little restless, after all, even the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs can be wiped out, so they feel uneasy."

"Now we should be steady, what do Xiao Cheng and Liu Shuo say?" Zhang Xiu asked in a low voice, how could he not know in his heart that the complete reshuffle of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households would have much impact on the Six Departments? , but the matter has come to this point, they have no room to intervene in these two matters, they can only let Xiao Luo completely replace them.

"Right now, they are naturally standing still. We originally wanted to join forces, but there is not even a leeway left for us on the father's side. Even if we are willing to give up some benefits, it will be useless. Xiao Cheng's side , Seeing that we can't get benefits, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, so they only care about their own side."

"No one can be alone in this matter. If Xiao Luo is really strong enough to be unshakable, all the forces in the court will belong to him, whether it is us or Xiao Cheng and the others, then there will be absolutely nothing. The way out of survival, we are all people who have experienced the emperor's ascension to the throne, and His Royal Highness should also know how to deal with the dissidents who once confronted us once the new emperor ascends the throne."

Xiao Luan frowned, "Uncle, then, what should we do?"

"The best way is to let Xiao Luo disappear from this world."

"What does uncle mean, you should kill him anyway?"

"Only in this way can there be no future troubles. He didn't want to come out alone to establish a mansion, and he didn't want to draw a line with Ding Wang's mansion so that Ding Wang's mansion didn't break the agreement with the emperor. Then, there is still a plan for this matter." room." Zhang Xiu said in a calm voice.

"However, uncle, don't forget that we did this before, and ended in failure. Now Xiao Luo is no longer the person who can be manipulated at will. Thinking about it, I regret it. If I had known, At the beginning, I shouldn't have worried so much, a humble prince, even if he is the son of the father, killing him is just to let the father scold him, now it will cause endless troubles."

Zhang Xiu sighed, and said: "Who can predict the unknown, no one knows, King Ding will take a fancy to him, now is not the time to regret here, you have to think about business."

"Uncle, I also want to get rid of Xiao Luo quickly, but right now, how to do it, he can easily exist with one enemy a hundred, and now his own strength is somewhat unfathomable, even if he came out of Prince Ding's Mansion , independent government, but this is still in the imperial capital, in the imperial city, if there are too many killers and dead men appearing, it will definitely attract the attention of the imperial army, and the dark eyes of the father, in case... "

"Your majesty, there is no need to worry too much, because your majesty must be clear that if you give Xiao Luo these things, then the fight between you will continue in the future. What we have to do is to think of a perfect plan to kill Xiao Luo once and for all. Solve it. However, what His Highness said is correct, if there is too much movement in the imperial capital, it will indeed be bad, and Xiao Luo himself is quite difficult, but Don't forget, Your Highness, there is also Xiao Cheng. , They are waiting and watching, but they also know very well that if Xiao Luo is not eliminated, they will not be able to relax."

"What does uncle mean to let Xiao Cheng and the others choose a group of masters?"

"That's right, in private, both of us have the power to cultivate our subordinates secretly, but in terms of strength, Liu Shuo is in command of the army, he himself is a rare master, and the people he makes under his subordinates are indeed stronger. One thing we cannot deny is that in dealing with Xiao Luo, we cannot be the only ones to contribute."

Xiao Luan naturally understood, "Then, uncle, I will send someone to find Xiao Cheng right now, and discuss this matter with him."

"Don't worry right now, Xiao Luo has just moved into the new mansion, and the situation in Prince Ding's mansion is still not fully determined. If we act rashly, we will show our feet. Let's watch first. Tomorrow, His Highness will enter the imperial study. , just discuss it with Xiao Cheng after leaving, and it is not appropriate to make too much noise right now."

"Yeah." Xiao Luan nodded.

……

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Liu Shuo looked at Xiao Cheng, took a sip of the clear tea on the tea table in front of him, and said, "It's really strange that the prince didn't move at all."

Xiao Cheng thought about it, and asked: "Uncle, before, they were willing to cede some benefits so that our people could intervene in the six departments, but it's a pity that when it comes to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, the father's side is simply not There is no room left, what we and they envisioned before cannot continue, Xiao Luo these days in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and now the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households is a completely new existence, not at all It has nothing to do with the prime minister Zhang Xiu, and privately, I have also noticed that the other four ministries, regarding the rectification of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the people under them are a little bit shaky."

"That's why I feel a little puzzled. After all, Xiao Luo is now living in the mansion arranged by the emperor. The situation of the sixth department is not very good. Once the situation of the sixth department is out of control, the prince will suffer a lot. Thinking, they can still be so patient!"

"Uncle, what do you think they will do?" Xiao Cheng asked forcefully.

"Your Highness thinks, what should I do if I want to solve the trouble?"

"The best way to solve it completely is of course to let Xiao Luo die." After Xiao Cheng said this, he immediately understood, "Uncle, do you think they are planning this, but uncle should also know , the present Xiao Luo is not the Xiao Luo of the past, moreover, now that he is in the imperial capital, and Xiao Luo is attracting much attention, if something really happens, it will be very difficult to end."

"Difficult to end doesn't mean it can't end. As long as Xiao Luo dies, all the troubles that existed before can disappear with it."

"Uncle, you said this, but there is no movement from the prince. Before, we wanted to cooperate with each other, but in the current situation, we can't get any benefits, and we have to take care of our own rear, so for the time being If you stand still, then..."

"If I'm not mistaken, after the court tomorrow morning, you have been to the imperial study, and after you leave, the crown prince will definitely look for you." Liu Shuo said seriously: "The reason why we joined forces earlier is because His Highness and the crown prince both knew that we should deal with the imperial court. Xiao Luo is not something you have to do alone, and it is impossible for one person to easily solve Xiao Luo, so it is still the case now, if they want to do something, they will definitely come to His Highness."

"Then, uncle, if this is the case, are we going to send someone to do it? If we can solve Xiao Luo, it will make a big problem disappear completely. In the future, we will compete with the crown prince. It must be difficult for them to return to my command in a short time, and taking advantage of their loss of troops, maybe we can completely suppress them, and I can replace Xiao Luan."

"Your Highness is right. You don't need to be too anxious right now. What you should be most worried about is the prince and the others, not us. Just wait for them to come looking for you."

"Ah."
