Chapter 475

And they were all important positions in the court.

Respectively in the Imperial Academy.

Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Rites!

And the Crown Prince’s Palace!

Four of the six ministries had Jia Hui’s people.

Each was not simple.

For example, after Cai Yong became big in the Imperial Academy.

The students in the future would all be his students, which meant that many civil officials in the future would be students of Jia Hui’s subordinates.

This was a huge and immeasurable political force!

The influence was huge.

And Love Love Like Sima Yi, who entered the Hanlin Academy and the Crown Prince’s Palace.

The court attached great importance to the education of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince’s officials were of the nature of functional officials. Once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the teacher-student relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince’s officials ended, and the Crown Prince’s officials had to be transferred to the monarch-subject relationship with the Emperor according to the rules.

The function of the Crown Prince’s officials was mainly to tutor the Crown Prince in governance and education, so the Crown Prince’s Palace was a place for the Crown Prince to cultivate virtue.

Therefore, when the Emperor chose officials for the Crown Prince, he always chose people who were learned, virtuous, noble, and famous.

Sima Yi was not a virtuous person, but he could pretend.

And he was definitely a learned person with outstanding talent.

So educating the Crown Prince was not a problem at all.

The Crown Prince’s Palace was equivalent to a small court, and the Zhan Shi was in charge of the government of the mansion, office, and bureau to tutor the Crown Prince.

The influence of the Zhan Shi Mansion officials on the Crown Prince was the most direct.

Therefore, their status and role were also very important.

Although their positions were still some distance from high-ranking officials.

They were already the backbone of the court!

Their influence and power could not be underestimated!

It was a huge political force!

Plus Jia Hui’s brother-in-law Wu Wu Wu Youjue, the head of the Internal Guard.

And the two fathers-in-law, Left Censor-in-Chief Sheng Hong and Observation Commissioner Gao Hu, who were censor officials.

Plus the clean political force left to Jia Hui by the former Cabinet Elder Ke Zheng.

Dali Temple Minister Gao Sheng also followed Jia Hui’s lead, admired him very much, and stood on the same front on weekdays.

In addition, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel, although Jia Hui had no one in these two departments.

But Minister of Works Baili Yan, he could be considered to have saved his life.

In addition, in the last month.

Many other low- and middle-level civil and military officials defected to Jia Hui.

This was also a force that could not be underestimated!

It can be said.

Unknowingly.

In every important institution of the court.

What everyone didn't know was.

Quietly.

Jia Hui already had a certain degree of control and influence!

And he also held a certain amount of military power.

Compared to all the princes, including the Crown Prince, he was not inferior at all.

Even surpassed them!

Even Cabinet Elder Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan, Grand Marshal Sang Wei, Grand Tutor Song Yucheng, and Cabinet Elder Yan only surpassed Jia Hui on the surface.

In fact, if Jia Hui really mobilized all his forces.

Jia Hui’s winning percentage was actually greater!

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun, this puppet emperor, was probably not as good.

Only the Retired Emperor, who didn't care much about things, could truly have an advantage over Jia Hui.

Mei Changsu didn't know at all.

What kind of monster-level behemoth the young man in front of him was!

Completely unaware.

That everything he did was under Jia Hui’s control and surveillance.

After learning that the Lan Garden was now in Man Chong’s hands.

Mei Changsu immediately prepared to say goodbye.

He knew that time waited for no one.

With only two years of life left.

He had to race against time.

And especially since the Jiangzuo Alliance in the capital had been destroyed.

All forces and manpower had been wiped out!

Even the Miaoyin Academy, an intelligence and assassination organization as important as eyes and ears, had disappeared cleanly.

Even Ni Huang, Prince Jing, and others had left him one after another!

This made Mei Changsu even more urgent.

He had to spend more time and energy to do things.

Watching Mei Changsu leave.

Jia Hui smiled slightly.

He didn't follow.

Because this time, he intended to let Man Chong show himself.

The Lan Garden was too dilapidated.

It didn't fit Mei Changsu’s shrewd image.

Man Chong was burly, looking Love Love Like a rough man.

This was because when Man Chong was eighteen, he was a Duyou in the county, and later was recruited by Cao Cao, then served as the magistrate of Xu County, in charge of justice, known for strict law enforcement, and later fought many times while ill.

So it was more appropriate to say he was a general.

However, he could also manage government affairs.

He was a person who was both civil and military.

Therefore, this Lan Garden was not inconsistent with his image.

Of course.

This was actually not important.

Mei Changsu didn't really buy the Lan Garden to live in.

Jia Hui didn't buy it for Man Chong to live in either.

Of course.

Now Man Chong had indeed moved in.

That was just incidental.

Mei Changsu took Fei Liu and wanted to find Man Chong.

But was given the cold shoulder by the doorman.

"My master is not at home."

"Can you tell me where he is? Is he at the Ministry of Justice?"

"No, he went to the Prince Cao’s Mansion."

"Cao Wang Fu?"

Mei Changsu frowned, just about to leave.

But he saw a team of government officials appear.

This time, the gatekeeper did not stop them and let them in.

This made Mei Changsu's heart sink!

He had a bad premonition!

[483] Mr. Mei is numb! Intercepted again, Cao Wang is ecstatic, Jia Hui is secretly happy.

Feiliu saw that the officials could enter, but they couldn't.

Immediately, without any sense of the situation, he said angrily, "Why can they enter, but we can't?"

"They are people from the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen."

Looking at this little brat, the gatekeeper said coldly.

Mei Changsu immediately stopped Feiliu, who was about to say something more.

He asked the gatekeeper politely: "I wonder what happened at the residence?"

"Our master bought this Lan Garden, and when the servants were cleaning, they found skeletons in the well."

"So the master told us to report the case."

After hearing this.

Mei Changsu was instantly numb!

The smile on his face froze!

His plan, again, again, and again, was ruined?

How is this supposed to be played?

"Don't panic... stay steady, there's still a turning point!"

"Maybe the people from the Yamen won't find anything."

Mei Changsu comforted himself.

Then Mei Changsu did not choose to leave.

Instead, he watched from the sidelines.

He discovered that the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen had found nearly ten corpses in the well on the spot, all of which had completely rotted.

After the coroner's examination, it was determined that they were all female.

Only then did he leave.

When he left, his face was heavy.

And what he didn't know was.

At this moment, Man Chong had already found Cao Wang.

Along with him was Mao Feng Feng Jie, who worked in the Ministry of Revenue.

"You say you have already investigated Lan Garden, which was used to entertain some court officials who dared not enter brothels openly?"

"Buried in the dry well are some girls who were accidentally killed."

Cao Wang was surprised.

At first, he didn't realize anything.

Until Man Chong nodded: "That's right, Your Highness, this is a roster I collected and organized, involving many key officials in the court, including the Crown Prince's faction's heavy minister—the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lou Lou Lou Zhiqing, is prominently listed."

Cao Wang was instantly extremely excited!

This meant he could topple a heavy minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

Most importantly.

The other party was also the Crown Prince's man!

Previously, the Crown Prince was grounded.

And lost the Sima family's son, and the old Sima was also demoted by one rank.

His strength had already suffered quite a bit.

If he lost a Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue this time.

His strength would inevitably be severely damaged!

After all, this was the Crown Prince's money bag.

Without the money bag, how many people would be willing to follow him?

If operated well.

He could also gain many other benefits.

He had always believed that he was the one who should sit on that throne.

The Crown Prince was simply unworthy.

In this way, he had hope of becoming the new Crown Prince!

So, looking at Man Chong and Mao Feng Feng Jie who came to report the news, he was very satisfied!

These two were clearly coming to defect to him!

And this was a "letter of intent" to tip him off.

"Two officials, don't worry."

"After I ascend to the throne, you will both be my pillars of state!"

Cao Wang said, his face flushed with excitement.

His current strength was weaker than the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.

Now two fifth-rank civil officials had come to defect to him.

It could be said that it increased his strength.

And quite a bit at that.

So he was very satisfied.

He even believed he was the Son of Destiny!

Both Man Chong and Mao Feng Feng Jie, these two great talents, were willing to defect to him!

They had vision!

Man Chong and Mao Feng Feng Jie sneered in their hearts, while on the surface, they smiled respectfully at Cao Wang.

Thus, they began to conspire with the two.

Man Chong was now a person from the Ministry of Justice, so Cao Wang asked him to make the Lou Lou Lou Zhiqing case an ironclad one in the Ministry of Justice.

And then after Lou Lou Lou Zhiqing fell.

Cao Wang's forces would fully support Mao Feng Feng Jie to go further.

Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a bit difficult.

After all, how long had Mao Feng Feng Jie been an official? His qualifications were too shallow.

Basically impossible.

But the vacated position.

Many officials would fill it up level by level.

Now he was a fifth-rank Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Revenue.

Taking another step to become a fifth-rank Director was not a problem.

Because the Six Ministries only had the first-rank Ministers and second-rank Left and Right Vice Ministers.

And there were no vacancies from the second-rank to the fourth-rank.

Only the fifth-rank.

Therefore, a fifth-rank Director was only one step away from the Left and Right Vice Ministers.

Of course.

In reality, it was unlikely to let you be promoted directly Love Love Like this.

They would promote you to become a fourth-rank Reader-in-waiting of the Grand Secretariat, Reader-in-waiting of the Hanlin Academy, or Lecturer-in-waiting of the Hanlin Academy.

Or assign you to a local post.
