The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 47 What else can he do?

001.

It's just that Jin Qi thought about it, but he couldn't help but remind him, "Now is the time for employing people."

There is already a shortage of people in the central government. If the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are short of people, it will really be chaotic.Lin Xu had to take it easy because the newcomers were not needed yet.

Wu Yiran was at a loss, Jin Qi's words had nothing to do with what they had discussed before.It is rumored that Jin Qi's personality is unpredictable, Wu Yiran didn't think it before, but now he really thinks his mind is extremely difficult to guess.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that no one will die." Lin Xu patted his sleeve lightly, and said in a dispensable tone.

Before Wu Yiran understood what Jin Qi's words meant, he saw that Lin Xu had already answered, and he looked back and forth between the two of them in doubt, becoming more and more bewildered.

"Since there is nothing else to do, the minister will leave first." Lin Xu said.

Jin Qi nodded, agreeing.

Lin Xu left, and Wu Yiran quickly followed.

After Lin Xu left the imperial study room, he didn't go back to the mansion directly. Instead, he went to the Ministry of Households familiarly, looking for the Minister of the Household Department and Wanyu, one of the persons in charge of the inn.

It was mid-afternoon when Lin Xu and the others arrived in the capital, and when he came out after being called to discuss matters in the imperial study, the sun had already set in the west, and it was the hottest time of summer, even in the middle of the afternoon the sun was still scorching hot.

Lin Xu asked Wu resolutely to go back first, and when he was looking for a place to do business in the Shangshu Mansion, Wan Yu, who had just heard the news, was in a hurry to collect his things.

When Lin Xu entered the room, Wan Yu stuffed all the things in his hands into the bookcase beside him. He put away the surprise on his face and pretended to be calm, "Why did the Prime Minister come back so early?"

Lin Xu asked for leave to return to his hometown before, and the leave he asked for was only one month, but because the journey took about [-] days, no one in the court thought he could come back within a month.

Lin Xu has been dedicated to his duties over the years, and he has almost never reported leave. This time he went home to visit his doctor, even if he stayed at home for an extra month, it was normal.

And according to Jin Qi's love for Lin Xu, if Lin Xu asked, Jin Qi would not refuse.

Everyone thought so, but they didn't expect Lin Xu to rush back in only a month and a few days, and suddenly appeared in the palace without making a sound.

"If I come back a few days later, wouldn't you all have to change the whole route?" Lin Xu cut to the chase without talking nonsense with him.

Wan Yu's pupils widened suddenly when he heard this, and he instinctively opened his mouth to explain something, but he was choked back by the chills that followed.

They knew from the very beginning that they would not be able to hide the matter of changing the route without authorization, and they dared to do so after much deliberation.

They originally hoped that once the raw rice was cooked, even Lin Xu wouldn't be able to stop halfway, but they didn't expect Lin Xu to come back early and didn't give them any chance to delay.

"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Wan Yu tried his best to put a smile on his face, "I think the Prime Minister must have misunderstood, the change of the route—"

"I didn't come here to listen to your defense." Lin Xu was indifferent, and there was no anger in what he said, but his unhurried tone made Wan Yu's hands and feet as cold as ice.

Wan Yu kept his mouth shut. Although he was already a third-rank minister, he bowed more than one head in front of Lin Xu.Not only because of Lin Xu's status as the prime minister of the hundred officials, but because of his momentum, he has already lost.

Lin Xu wasn't ready to talk nonsense, he took a look at Wan Yu, whose face had already turned pale, and said, "I don't care how you secretly disagree with each other and make trouble with each other, but have you gone too far recently?"

The forces in the DPRK and China are divided, and the situation is complicated. Everyone is not as friendly as they appear on the surface. Not only Wan Yu and Su Fanyi, but other people secretly wink at each other, which is also a common occurrence.

Wan Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.At this moment, Lin Xu gave him a very bad feeling, and the sight that seemed to see through everything made his back sweat.

"Although He Zheng's matter is over, it doesn't mean it's over. Even if the emperor doesn't investigate now, as long as this

This matter has not been forgotten, and it may be revealed at any time. "Lin Xu looked coldly at Wan Yu, who was already in a cold sweat.

Wan Yu is in charge of the treasury of the Ministry of Households, and he knows the flow of money between the DPRK and China the most.

Even if He Zheng and others can tamper with the qualifications of the mine veins, the consumption of workers' fees outside the accounts must be handled by the Ministry of Accounts. If this matter is to be exposed to Jin Qi, Wan Yu cannot get rid of it.

Wan Yu's body trembled when he heard the words, and he almost knelt down on his knees. The heads of He Zheng and the others were still hanging outside the hall, and now they have been eaten by vultures until only the skull remains...

"You didn't do things so carelessly before, when did you become so bold and reckless?" Lin Xu just looked at Wan Yu quietly.

Wan Yu clenched his hands into fists, he looked down at his toes without saying a word.

Now his mind has gone blank, and he doesn't know what to say. What does Lin Xu mean by asking him here?How much does he already know?If Lin Xuruo knew, how much did Jin Qi know?

"You have been an official in the court for so many years, you should know what the bottom line is." Lin Xu's voice was cold, neither angry nor happy.

Wanyu's Adam's apple slid up and down, swallowing hard.If Jin Qi knew about this matter, it would not be an exaggeration to give him a full-fledged copycat or even kill the Nine Clans.

"The post route from the border gate to the capital cannot be changed. The situation at the border gate is unstable now, and war may start at any time. If you change the route without authorization and delay the military report, you should know how serious the consequences will be." Lin Xu said again.

After finishing speaking, Lin Xu didn't stop, turned around and walked towards the door.That's all he said, and it's up to Wan Yue himself.

With Wan Yu, he was already kind, and it was not easy for Lin Xu to understand, so he never intended to kill them all. As long as these people did not touch the bottom line, he would always turn a blind eye to them.

"Master Prime Minister..."

Before Lin Xu turned the corner, Wan Yu had already chased him out.

Lin Xu looked back, Wan Yu's face was ashen, he opened his mouth several times to try to say something but couldn't make a sound, and finally he just bowed in Lin Xu's direction.

Lin Xu turned around and went out of the palace to meet the setting sun.He was already tired from running all the way.

Wan Yu entered the court later than him, and he was the one who watched step by step to gain a firm foothold in the court.

At the beginning, neither he nor Su Fanyi had such a temperament. At that time, Wan Yu was just like Wu Yiran today, with clean and bright eyes, full of ambition and passion.

In the next few years, he gradually gained a firm foothold in the court, and his personality and conduct also changed a lot, becoming smooth and clear.This is nothing at all, Chaozhong is a place that eats people without spit out bones, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold.

But since when did Wan Yue get involved in those shady things?Now he is only helping to cheat, if this continues, in two years he will be just another He Zheng.

Lin Xu returned home, and he didn't mention this matter after that, but there was a change at the post station very quickly. The route that was modified without authorization was changed back at some point, and the money spent due to the modification of the route without authorization was also silently filled in. , as if the whole thing never happened.

When Jin Qi learned about this, it was already after the route had been modified, he didn't say anything, he just raised his eyebrows and accepted the information submitted by the dark guard.

Since Lin Xu didn't say anything, he believed him and gave Wan Yu another chance.

The matter of the post station is not a trivial matter, Wan Yu acted like this, everyone speculated, but after looking for Wan Yu a few times and avoiding him, everyone restrained a lot.

For Wan Yu to be like this, something must have happened, and no one would be stupid enough to break it at a time like this.

Everyone in the DPRK tacitly did not mention it, but this matter returned to the original plan in silence.The one who was most excited was Wu Yiran, who looked at Lin Xu with admiration for a long time afterwards.

Lin Xu didn't hit or get close to Wu Yiran's admiration.

The other newcomers who entered the court with Wu Yiran have gradually changed over the past few months, either alienated, fawning or hostile
