Rong Lan

Rong Lan's words not only raised her own opinion, but also foreshadowed it without showing strength, and even used it as an excuse to share the emperor's worries, of course Cheng He could not refuse.

He took the brochure from Rong Lan and immediately opened it to read. In fact, the problem of the same state has troubled him and the entire household department for a long time. If the young man in front of him can find a way to solve it as soon as possible, it will save him and the household department. Because of the fire and water, the emperor summoned him for several days to inquire about this matter, and yesterday he was even more angry and decreed that if he couldn't think of a way to take into account the overall situation within three days, he would fine everyone in the household department for one year to make up for the vacancy, and then downgrade each person to a first-class punishment The co-government is incompetent.

Cheng He spread out the brochure for a few glances, and then he read it seriously, and the more he read it, the more serious he looked, and from time to time he showed a surprised look and nodded repeatedly.

In the Shangshu Pavilion, there are six pavilions in six parts, each pavilion has one table for one person, no barriers, which facilitates the transmission of official documents and improves the efficiency of work. Cheng He's reaction can be clearly seen by everyone.

Earlier when Rong Lan came to Shangshu Pavilion, she slept in her own place and never asked about business, so those who raised their eyes to watch were even more curious about what was written in the booklet.

Just listen to Cheng Hedao: "May I ask Mr. Rong how to confirm that the national inventory of silver is enough to buy these grains?"

Rong Lan motioned Cheng He to sit across from her, and then attached Cheng He's ear: "Business can be fake, just go through the motions and let out the wind. The military rations are about to be approved, so just use this. The treasury doesn't need to pay a penny." If Mr. Cheng thinks it is feasible, you and I will go face to face with the emperor in the morning and evening."

Cheng He was puzzled, and whispered back: "Why didn't you play directly in the early court?"

Rong Lan shook her head: "It's better not to let too many people know about the problem until it's resolved. Besides, the distribution of military rations will be delayed in this turnaround, and the support of Li Shangshu from the Ministry of War is also needed. The early court time is too tight to consult with him."

Cheng He nodded, and couldn't help but be amazed at Rong Lan's safe handling of things, "I'll be the one to deal with Li Shangshu, and he still has some friendship with me."

The two whispered for a while, and Cheng He suddenly felt that he had a much closer relationship with the young man in front of him. Unlike superiors and subordinates, they could ignore their age, and began to call each other you and me with Rong Lan.This is probably the subtlety of having a common secret, and of course Rong Lan's calculations are also indispensable.

What Chong Yi left yesterday was the record of the soaring grain price in Chengzuo Tongzhou in January.Rong Lan dug out the various financial forms of Da Zhou that had been collected before, checked them back and forth several times, and finally had the booklet he handed over to Cheng He.As for the friendship between Cheng He and Li Yongke, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he asked Yingyi to investigate, and the results of the investigation were quite satisfactory.

This morning, the Minister of the Household Department, who has been arrogant since he took office and has never been in court, was surprised.

In the early court, there was still endless debate about the candidate for the crown prince. Zhong Yi quietly looked at Rong Lan who was not far away in scarlet clothes in a daze.

Rong Lan had no choice but to kneel because of the trend of the times, Zhong Yi stopped looking at him, stood up, turned around and left.

Zhang De stepped forward and shook the whisk: "Back—towards—!"

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

Rong Lan followed the crowd to kowtow to send him off again, plus the sound of "the emperor is coming" earlier, he has knelt down twice today. Although the game setting of kneeling and fainting is not accurate after his heart starts to hurt, but He only felt that the experience of dizziness and chills at this moment was not as pleasant as fainting.

Rong Lan stood on the spot to resist the dizziness.

Cheng He chatted with Li Yongke for a while, and walked towards him, but saw Rong Lan's face was pale, and he seemed to be unable to stand still, so he persuaded: "Master Rong is not feeling well? Why don't you meet the emperor tomorrow, and you can do it today first." Go home and rest."

Rong Lan calmed down and waved his hands: "My body has always been like this, so you don't need to pay too much attention." He looked at Li Yongke to one side, and started to talk about business: "Master Li, Master Cheng should have explained the general situation to you... "

It was from this day that Cheng He began to work with Rong Lan, and gradually understood why Rong Lan said "my body has always been like this", and why Prime Minister Xu strongly recommended this young man as a householder. Minister of the Ministry, and why the emperor treats him with extra magnanimity.

In the end, Rong Lan didn't go to face Sheng, but entrusted the matter to Cheng He and Li Yongke. He was really too dizzy, and couldn't bear to kneel down to Chong Yi again, besides, he had other things to attend to.

Chong Yi intends to send troops to Beijue. Storing food before sending troops is the top priority. The price of food in Tongzhou, which is adjacent to northern Xinjiang, has suddenly skyrocketed. Simple, I am afraid that Beijue is leading behind the scenes, and those subordinates who secretly obstruct the stabilization of food prices, his hard-working boss, still need to speak well.

The whole thing in Tongzhou is hard work, but it's good to start with the hard work!He just took the opportunity to establish his authority, and he also took this opportunity to get some military rations for Chong Yi, so that Chong Yi could send troops earlier, and he could go back sooner after he was abolished earlier.

In the imperial study room, Cheng He explained to the emperor one by one how to quell the soaring food prices in Tongzhou.

Chong Yi looked at the thin booklet he handed over, and recognized Rong Lan's handwriting at a glance. Rong Lan is the only one who writes with a charcoal pen instead of a brush in this world, and there are inexplicable symbols between the lines, so I don't know Rong Lan. I learned calligraphy from Mr. What since I was a child.

"Where is Rong Lan? Why are you here?" Chong Yi didn't wait for Cheng He to reply, then handed the brochure to Zhang De, and said to Prime Minister Xu Zhongbo: "Teacher, let's take a look at this too."

Before Cheng He and Li Yongke came, Xu Zhongbo was admonishing Zhongyi not to send troops to Beijue on the grounds of insufficient food and pay in the imperial study. He took the booklet and looked at it for a while, his eyes were surprised, and he understood why the emperor asked him to read this.

Yesterday he said, "Only Rong Lan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can do this matter." Of course, "this matter" refers to the matter of grain prices in the same state, but he didn't expect Rong Lan to come up with a solution not only in one day, And it can kill two birds with one stone, and solve the military ration problem together.

Xu Zhongbo looked at the thin book in his hand in surprise, and Cheng He replied to Chongyi: "Go back to the emperor, there are some important local documents that will be delivered at noon, Mr. Rong is afraid of delay, so he rushes back to Shangshuge to deal with them. Order the minister to perform with the emperor on his behalf."

Cheng He didn't lie, these were Rong Lan's original words, and the official documents were true, and the delivery at noon was true, but it didn't matter if those official documents were delayed by a day, and Rong Lan didn't show up, so let him come forward to put the matter in Tongzhou to a good start and end , I have an explanation to the emperor, he is well aware of the favor Rong Lan gave him, and he naturally wrote it down.

It has to be said that Rong Lan's methods of swaying people's feelings and sophistication are also considered clever, and the real purpose of doing things has always been hidden under reasonable facts, so that when he explained the truth later, no one believed him.Still the same sentence, you can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself.

Zhong Yi nodded, and looked at Li Yongke, Minister of the Ministry of War, beside Cheng He.

Li Yongke stepped forward knowingly: "Your Majesty, I can get half a month's delay in the distribution of military rations. Tongzhou is not far from the border guards' station, and the food and grass will be transported there first for emergency without delaying the journey. The opinions of the two adults, Rong and Cheng, I think it is feasible. .”

Chong Yi was originally worried that Rong Lan's officials were not important, and he might not be able to deal with the important officials of the court who have been struggling in the officialdom for many years. At this moment, when he saw it, he couldn't help but lamented Rong Lan's cunning in his heart. Apart from suggesting a method, Rong Lan couldn't do anything else. Doing nothing, persuading the Ministry of War to give way, Cheng He came forward to deal with Li Yongke, and came to face Sheng Chengzuo without showing his face, and gave all the credit to others.

He thought of Rong Lan standing in the crowd in the early dynasty wearing a crimson official uniform, with a clear and cold face, and he felt palpitated. He only felt that maybe one day he would be plotted by this harmless little fox who secretly scratched people. .

Chong Yi's emotion at this time was full of sweetness and doting, but he didn't know that today's emotion became a prophecy, and that calculation was a tragedy that he could never let go of in his life.

Besides, Rong Lan, he plotted against others every day, and was plotted against by others today.

He walked on the way out of the palace in a nonchalant manner, wondering if Yingyi would be able to collect what he wanted, and if he couldn't, he'd better invite Chong Yi's people to come out.

A little maid suddenly appeared in front of her eyes: "Master Rong, the empress dowager wants to see you."

Then, he knelt down for the third time in one day.

In the Empress Dowager's Yishou Palace, Rong Lan knelt in the middle: "Shangshu Ronglan of the Minister's Department, please see the empress dowager! My empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

The empress dowager retreated from the palace, and walked up to him condescendingly: "Raise your head."

Rong Lan looked up honestly.

The queen mother looked at him for a while, then clicked her tongue twice: "That's right, especially the pair of eyes that resemble your mother very much. Back then, the late emperor killed Miao Nan because of the gaze of these eyes. I didn't expect it! The woman he wanted turned out to be a woman defeated in battle. Later, the war king of Miaonan who took refuge in the Great Zhou had to go, and hid for 20 years."

The queen mother looked at Rong Lan, and Rong Lan also looked at the queen mother, making complaints while looking at her.

Chong Yi and him are really destined!Chong Yi's empress mother, who is not easy to mess with at first sight, is the same as his game mother. From his man's point of view, he was a gorgeous beauty when he was young. It seems that he almost became Chong Yi's younger brother.This surprised him greatly, but he had no curiosity to understand the grievances and hatreds of the older generation among the characters in the game.

What Rong Lan was thinking at the moment was, um!It's better to be a big brother like Rong Xuan, his game dad is awesome!

Rong Lan was just complaining about Gao Chaochao, but she heard the queen mother say again: "Walking around, the Ai family has been fighting for a woman for a lifetime, but her son and my son have become a pair of mandarin ducks. You block the knife for Yi'er, and Yi'er I stood up for you, you have a good understanding with each other! Regardless of your identity or not, Aijia originally wanted to kill you to get rid of you, but Aijia is not a narrow-minded woman. You have some talents, and Da Zhou needs you Such a young official assisting the emperor, the Ai family is even more unwilling to be hostile to his son, since Yi'er risked his life to save you, the Ai family will not attack you again. But..."
