Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 136, Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Deputy Garrison Commander of Kyoto. Fan Xian has a father, and I have brothers too!
After hearing what Liu Hong said, Emperor Qing fell into deep thought.

Eunuchs are a group of rootless guys whose every move is dependent on the imperial power.

The emperor only needs one word to expose the eunuch's true nature.

It might not be a bad thing if eunuchs were put in charge of the so-called East Factory to check and balance the judicial and law enforcement powers of the Censorate.

It doesn't matter if we fail. At most, we will just have tens of thousands more rootless eunuchs in the palace.

"Liu Hong, go back and sort out your thoughts. I will see if there is anything useful to say."

Emperor Qing spoke slowly.

All the officials who were originally glaring at the scene became as angry as if their own mother had died.

It is already uncomfortable enough to have the Censorate hanging over your head, and now there is this treacherous villain Liu Hong. Please, Your Majesty, set up the East Factory.

Chen Pingping had no expression on his face and remained silent.

Emperor Qing spoke again.

"Dean Chen has made great contributions over the years and has been given the title of Grand Tutor, which is equivalent to the treatment of a Duke."

Chen Pingping, don't blame me. After all, I also want to have a long-term relationship with you as king and subject, and sharing power is inevitable.

Emperor Qing looked cold.

What's more, it's just an old dog! What I give you is yours. You can't take what I don't give you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Chen Pingping bowed his head and nodded, his hand stroking the wheelchair again, as if he couldn't help wanting to take something out.

Emperor Qing acquiesced, the Prime Minister protected himself, the Dean gave in, and all officials kept silent!

Lai Mingchen smiled bitterly and wanted to use his life to persuade the emperor to give up this idea.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xian stood up at this time with a determined look.

"Your Majesty! Setting up the East Factory is a way to destroy the country and create chaos. It must not be implemented."

If the mutual impeachment between Liu Hong and Fan Xian some time ago was largely false propaganda.

And now Fan Xian is sincere and ready to confront Liu Hong.

Damn! Letting eunuchs interfere in government affairs, is this something a minister can do?
Fan Xian didn't want to be an emperor, he just wanted to be an honest and leisurely minister, but he didn't want to have countless eyes staring at him.

Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian with surprise.

I originally thought that the breakup between Liu Hong and Fan Xian was just a play for me, but I didn't expect that it seemed to be true.

It’s just that this child is too much like his mother and doesn’t understand himself at all.

As an emperor, he would still be overjoyed when he encountered something that could strengthen his imperial power.

As for the people and officials, they are like straw, replaced in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the emperor is eternal!

"Fan Xian, I know what you are thinking, so I asked Liu Hong to plan it carefully. The Spring Examination is approaching, and I order you to be the Minister of Rites. Please solve the Spring Examination first."

Emperor Qing spoke in a gentle tone, looking at Fan Xian kneeling on the ground, feeling inexplicably pleased.

Ye Qingmei, did you see that? The son you placed high hopes on finally knelt at my feet.

I didn't force him to do this...

Fan Xian wanted to say something else.

Liu Hong bowed directly and spoke first.

"I will obey your orders and will not disappoint your majesty!"

"Well! Liu Hong, you have to work harder recently. Since the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War has resigned, the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice is vacant. You should take it first and study the laws of Daqing carefully."

"Of course, since you are a soldier, I cannot waste your talent. Follow Ye Chong and learn the fighting methods of the Beijing Army."

Emperor Qing spoke gently, and without paying any money, he once again threw out two powerful positions.

This is why Jian is a lone minister in the emperor's heart and can only rely on imperial power, so the emperor will still vigorously promote and support him.

The Minister of Justice Wei Wei opened his mouth but still said nothing.

The situation in the court is too chaotic now, so he should ask the second prince for his opinion later! As for the sudden death of the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, it is indeed a pity.

Liu Hong was not surprised by the position of Deputy Garrison Commander of Kyoto.

After all, this was the most suitable position of power for him within the third rank that he had been considering constantly.

If Emperor Qing still wanted to suppress the Qin family, he would definitely not let Liu Hong leave the army and just give him an idle official position to keep him.

However, the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was also given to Liu Hong.

This is quite a big deal!

It seems that Emperor Qing is indeed looking forward to the East Factory!
The matter of the East Factory was decided directly with Liu Hong and Emperor Qing singing the same tune.

Fan Xian stood up in a daze and slowly stood among the court officials.

Suddenly, he remembered what Lin Ruofu had said to him with great meaning. Watch carefully and learn well. Liu Hong's actions and words were all typical of a lone minister.

Today, the establishment of the East Factory alone has offended all the officials in the court.

In the future, either he maintains his prominent power or he slams the table and rebels.

Otherwise, Liu Hong's fate would be miserable...

The grand court meeting was basically over, except that some young and inexperienced officials were stubborn again and reported the flood in Jiangbei Road.

It ended so smoothly.

When Liu Hong stepped out of the hall, he found that Ergouzi's lips were pale. It was obvious that he had heatstroke and dehydration due to being exposed to the sun for a long time.

He made a prompt decision, picked up Er Gouzi, and walked towards the Minister's Mansion.

The officials around him stared at Liu Hong as if he were an alien.

He was a first-class earl, right vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, deputy garrison commander of Kyoto, commander-in-chief of the Qianlong Camp, and founder of the East Factory.

A guy with so many titles actually carried the responsibility of his subordinates who were dismissed from their official positions.

This is disgraceful!
"Liu Hong!"

Seeing Liu Hong's eccentric attitude, Fan Xian suddenly spoke.

Liu Hong paused without looking back, as if waiting for Fan Xian to continue speaking.

"Just because you won this time doesn't mean you can win in the future! I'm not you. I have a group of uncles. I won't be a lone minister."

After Fan Xian finished speaking, he put his arm around Lin Ruofu's shoulders and refuted Liu Hong's behavior with a chuckle.

Although Lin Ruofu was mumbling to himself, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Liu Hong did not reply to Fan Xian, but continued to leave with Er Gouzi on his back.

Fan Xian has a group of uncles, so he can do whatever he wants!

And Liu Hong also has a large number of brothers who are willing to die for him at any time.

"Brother...if you take me away from the palace like this, I'm afraid those eunuchs will tell on me."

Er Gouzi regained some of his spirit and spoke weakly.

Even though he was a sixth-rank warrior, he was not feeling well after being exposed to the sun for several hours, kneeling on the ground motionless and becoming dehydrated.

"It's okay! Those eunuchs hope that they can have a share of the profits from the East Factory I created."

Liu Hong didn't care.

"Brother, I have figured it out now. Those ministers look down on people like us who come from poor backgrounds. I still want to return to the army."

Er Gouzi was silent for a while, then spoke slowly, his voice a little difficult.

He knew what he said.

Liu Hong had worked so hard to pave the way and build up resources for himself to seize a fourth-rank official position, but almost all of them went down the drain.

If an official is dismissed, he can be reinstated in a few months with just a little effort.

After all, it's just offending those mad dogs in the Censorate.

But if Ergouzi himself doesn’t want to be an official, then that’s a difficult problem.

As expected, Liu Hong was silent for a while and then spoke slowly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Er Gouzi felt a slight sore in his nose and turned his head to the side.

There is no need to say so much between brothers!

As soon as they left the palace, Ji Xin and his personal guards saw the weak Ergouzi, and hurriedly took Ergouzi to the carriage to rest.

Fortunately, Liu Hong returned to Beijing this time and took a horse-drawn carriage as usual.

Otherwise, Ergouzi would probably vomit due to the bumpy ride on the warhorse.

Qin Heng, who came with a large group of military officials, saw all this and hesitated for a while.

He took out a gold-inlaid water bag from his bosom and handed it to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was not polite. He took the water bag and gave Ergouzi a few gulps of water.

Sure enough, Er Gouzi's face looked much better.

"Thank you for keeping your promise, but I am reminding you that the Ministry of Justice is the forbidden descendant of the Second Prince, and you have now offended the Second Prince again."

Qin Heng didn't want the water bag.

Instead, it released kindness, and the previous fighting seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
