Chapter 141
In the bulletin, Ning Youbei presented evidence of Jianghuai officials colluding with each other, reselling grain, and taking bribes, etc., and said that more than 100 officials had been escorted on the way back to Yudu.

Together with these officials, there were also silver taels and valuables confiscated from various mansions, including several 10 taels of silver intercepted from Fang Haichang.

After the homes of these officials were raided, Ning Youbei sold the large items and exchanged them for silver, leaving only the gold and silver, soft and valuable small items.

However, Ning Youbei could not be exempt from distributing [-]% of the confiscated silver to the eight thousand officers and soldiers.

After all, they borrowed other people's soldiers and horses.

It was Ning Youbei who was in charge of ransacking the house, and he didn't want to take advantage of it.If it were someone else, at least [-]% would be lost.

Ning Youbei didn't mention in the secret letter that he ransacked the house and distributed [-]% of the silver. He planned to tell the emperor brother as a joke after returning to Yudu.

……

Looking at Ning Youbei's secret letter and bulletin, the emperor was very pleased.

His beloved younger brother is becoming more and more mature and capable, but his heart is still sincere to him.

Youbei didn't become rampant just because he had the imprint of the Son of Destiny on him, nor did he feel alienated from himself because of it.

The emperor also further strengthened his determination to pass on the throne to Youbei.

……

The emperor ordered Ning Youbei's memorial to be read in the court hall, and asked the ministers: "What do you guys think?"

Wei Guogong's first reaction was: there are so many vacancies in the Jianghuai area, who should be arranged to go there?

The first reaction of Su Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials: Nima, the Ministry of Officials is busy again, where can we find so many suitable officials at once?

Du Haiping, Secretary of the Ministry of War: Prime Minister Fang is completely finished, and he has cast in the wrong direction.

Other ministers: What is the King of Chu doing?How dare he arrest so many officials at once?
……

No matter what the courtiers were thinking, the emperor took the opportunity to say what he had thought about a long time ago.

"I have decided to transfer Lord Huguo back to Yudu to concurrently serve as prime minister, and the son of Lord Huguo will temporarily take over the work of Jianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, and he will be formally appointed after he adapts.

As for the position of governor of Jianghuai, I agree with King Chu's proposal, and the city lord of Yuezhou will take over. "

Duke Wei already knew that the emperor would not allow him to be the prime minister, and that the emperor would not allow him to monopolize the affairs of state, so he had long guessed about the transfer of Lord Protector back to Yudu, but he did not expect that the emperor would also transport salt from Jianghuai The position was given to the Chen family.

The emperor really loves the Chen family!

Wei Guogong originally also took a fancy to the position of Jianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, this is a pocketbook!But the emperor brought it up first, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Wei Guogong motioned to the left servant of the Ministry of officials.

Lord Lin, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, received a hint from Duke Wei, and came out and said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Protector has served as the Governor of Yuhai for many years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements. It is understandable to promote him to the Prime Minister. It is just that the son of the Protector has not held an important position before, so it is not appropriate to let him take over the Jianghuai Salt Transport Envoy."

In fact, what Master Lin said was not wrong.

It's just that the emperor wants to promote Chen's family to fight Wei Guogong, so naturally Chen Qinhua must be reused.

"It is true that the son of the protector of the country has never held an important position before, but he is my cousin. I believe in him, and I am willing to give him a chance to try, isn't it?"

Your Majesty, this is Sarai!

Master Lin still wanted to refute, but he received Wei Guogong's hint, so he didn't say anything.

Duke Wei understood it.

The emperor wants to hold up the Chen family to check and balance with himself!
Either way!

The Duke of Wei came out:
"The entire Dayu Kingdom belongs to His Majesty. Since His Majesty wants to take care of his cousin, the old minister naturally dare not say anything. It's just that the old minister has the cheek to ask His Majesty for a favor.

The old official's son has been working in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and he is the empress's younger brother. Now that there is a vacancy for officials in the Jianghuai area, the old official also wants him to go out to experience.

The City Lord of Huai City and the City Lord of Jiang City have not yet decided on a candidate, so why not let him take up one of the positions? "

Ministers:  …

Older gingers are more spicy!
It was difficult for the emperor to say anything to Wei Guogong on the spot.

If he wanted to give his cousin a chance, could it be that the Empress's own brother couldn't?

The emperor thought about it for a while, and wanted Chen Qinhua to become the Jianghuai salt transport envoy, but he was afraid that he would really have to fight for the position of city lord.

There is the King of Jiangcheng in Jiangcheng, what if Shao Rongchang colludes with him?
But Huai City, King Huai is incompetent, will he monopolize the power?
What about Yuezhou?
Not to mention!
There is no one in Yuezhou to restrict him, and his power is even greater.

The emperor thought for a while, and finally came to a decision, let's be the Lord of Huai City!
Ask Chen Qinhua to watch him more in Huaicheng from now on.

……

After thinking clearly, the emperor said to Wei Guogong:

"Since the Duke has opened his mouth, I have to take care of it no matter what. Why don't you let the son of the Duke of Wei go to Huai City to take the post of city lord."

Duke Wei replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This is a naked transaction!
As a result, the following court hall was very lively...

In order to help their own people to the top, everyone is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers!
……

When the court was over that day, the emperor's brain still hurt.

He never knew that his courtiers were all so eloquent!
What a lotus flower!
It seems that in the future, I can no longer open the back door first, so as not to fall into the trap of others!

Fortunately, there are no people who need to take care of themselves for the time being.Youbei has grown up, and he can stand alone!
……

**
The way back to Yudu was extremely smooth, not at all as thrilling as when Ning Youbei and the others came over.

On this day, the convoy arrived in Zhongdu.

The shortest road from Huaicheng to Yudu must pass through Zhongdu.

Qu Chu and the others entered Zhongdu City, and the prison cars of the brigade also attracted the crowds of the people.But it was like this all the way, and Qu Chu and the others got used to it.

While resting at the inn, I met a caravan, which was going to Luo Mansion.

Listening to their discussions, the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Hua, the largest aristocratic family in Luo Mansion, is coming soon, and the New Year is approaching, so the Hua family decided to hold a lantern festival and a product exchange meeting in Luo Mansion.

This caravan rushed to Luo Mansion after hearing the news.

Luo Mansion is a thousand-year-old capital. It used to be the capital of several dynasties. It is also the most prosperous town among all the towns in the north of Dayu Kingdom except Yudu.

It is comparable to the prosperity and excitement of Jianghuai.

Hearing this news, Qu Chu had no other thoughts, only lamented that it was another year!But Jiaorui (Jiang Rongfang) was moved.

The prosperity of Luo Mansion is no less than that of Jianghuai, and it is far away from Huai City. It is not bad to live in Luo Mansion.

Jiaorui shared her thoughts with Qu Chu.

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"In that case, let me say hello to those businessmen, and you follow their convoy to Luo Mansion. After you settle down in Luo Mansion, if you want, you can report to me that you are safe."

Jiaorui agrees.
