Chapter 554 Zhou Xian's Driver
"Why are you gathering everyone together again? At this time, won't this give the Jinyiwei something to hold against you?"
"We serve as officials in the court, but specifically we are responsible for managing various places, so we have gathered together to discuss how to better manage the people for our Sun Moon Dynasty. What are your concerns?"
"Yes, the Royal Guards have no evidence, so what if they arrest one of us? But it's just a temporary solution. Can they arrest all of us without any evidence?"
"Do you still want the dynasty?"
"Hahahaha!"
Almost half a year had passed since Zhao Zheng proposed the reform.
Among them, the small group of Qinglisi whose interests were most threatened, after experiencing several disintegrations, saw that nothing happened.
It was seen that Zhao Zheng had stayed in the Ministry of Works from beginning to end, as if he had completely forgotten that he was still responsible for leading the reform.
Naturally, his courage grew again.
"By the way, have you heard? Something seemed to have happened in the Ministry of Industry yesterday!"
"What happened? Did that Saint Zhao come up with some magical thing again?"
"No, as far as I know, the Ministry of Industry has been busy with something for the past six months. I don't know what it was, but it must have failed yesterday."
"I seem to have heard that something serious happened in the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works, which is personally supervised by Saint Zhao, yesterday. A group of people ran out in a hurry, as if their lives would be in danger if they continued to stay in there."
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then we can still learn from Saint Zhao!"
For all the groups, at this stage, the atmosphere was very good and everyone had smiles on their faces.
In addition, there are people like Zhou Xian, the Minister of Revenue and Guanghu Qingli Si, who were marginalized because of their previous fence-sitting and defection.
"A copy of the book on Saint Zhao?"
"My kid went to ask Saint Zhao for advice yesterday, but when he came back he told me that Saint Zhao seemed to be in a particularly good mood yesterday and even gave him a small class and taught him a lot of things?"
"There must be something wrong!"
But Zhou Xian didn't make a fuss. He had been marginalized now, and no matter what he said, he would be targeted by others.
In this case, it is better to sit back and wait.
No! Sitting still is not stable enough!
Seeing how all his former colleagues were focusing their attention on rebelling against Tian Gang and criticizing Zhao Zheng for taking human lives lightly and not doing his job properly.
Zhou Xian, who was sitting in the corner, began to move slowly.
Slowly walk out the door.
During this time, naturally someone noticed him.
However, facing Zhou Xian today, even though he is in charge of the relatively prosperous Guanghu, he chose to ignore it because he was sitting on the fence.
So what if he is responsible for a wealthy region.
The less power you have, the less money you put in your pocket.
Then we are no longer on the same path.
So Zhou Xian just left the room peacefully.
However, when he reached the gate of the courtyard where the gathering was held and was about to go home, he ran into the leader of his subordinates.
"What's wrong? You're in a hurry!"
Zhou Xian naturally has a different status outside and inside.
Zhou Xian frowned at the panic of his leader.
"Sir! It's not good!"
"Master Zhao! No, Saint Zhao is on his way to the east of the Imperial City!"
"what!"
Zhou Xian, who was frowning, suddenly broke out in cold sweat when he heard what his leader said.
Ever since Zhao Zheng came to the court that day and gained the power to lead the reform, his main target was the group of Qingli Sishi.
All of them placed many spies on the road from Zhao Mansion to the east of the imperial city, where the Ministry of Revenue was located.
So as to prepare in advance.
To this day, Zhao Zheng has not taken any action.
However, due to the residual influence left by the previous heads of the Zhao family, those spies were still retained, and at most their number was reduced to a certain extent.
But now, it’s here!
Zhou Xian looked back at the courtyard behind him, and while he was sweating coldly, he also felt a little relieved in his heart.
I'm glad that I had the nerve to wipe out all the obvious activities in advance.
Although it hurts to think about it now, but until this moment, everything is worth it!
On the way back to the yamen in a hurried carriage, he finally met the leader of his colleagues.
The gratitude became even deeper.
I also thought about it a lot.
"Think about it, over the past six months, although I have less money in my hands, the expenses in the mansion have also been a little tighter."
"But just because the news that the boy in my family became a student of Sage Zhao spread back, the people in the jurisdiction no longer made trouble because of various things, and even went to the governor to praise me."
"Let my subordinates manage the household registration and land tax, the finance department calculates the finances, the gold department collects taxes, and even the warehouse department stores and transports goods. Let them all go smoothly! A lot of trouble will be saved!"
"The people under my rule support me, and the tax revenue I pay is reduced, which makes my superiors satisfied. The rest of the people can only look down on me with envy but dare not offend me too deeply!"
"No matter how you look at it, it seems like a good deal."
"Moreover, based on my current achievements, the six ministers are now all managed by the old minister, and the position of minister is vacant."
"Although I'm thinking too much about the position of Shangshu, by then, most of the time, the position will be filled by Shilang, and then I..."
The more Zhou Xian thought about it, the brighter his future seemed.
But beyond that, he was still a little nervous.
I was worried about what I had done before. Although I had cut it off now, what if Zhao Zheng would not let me go...
"Do you think that Saint Zhao will hold on to my past mistakes?"
There was a trusted person in charge in the carriage, but Zhou Xian became more and more nervous the more he thought about it, so he chose to consult a person that was completely unexpected by his boss.
On the other side of the curtain, the coachman.
"Master?"
The coachman was immediately flattered.
"It's okay, just tell me."
"No matter what you say, the master won't blame you. And the more you talk, the more faults you point out of the master! The master can even reward you!"
The coachman was naturally Zhou Xian's own man, but compared to the boss, he was more of a servant.
However, at this moment, Zhou Xian felt that the coachman was more suitable to answer this question and could give him comfort.
"Then I will say..."
He saw that his master did not seem to be faking it, and the changes in recent days were seen by everyone, not to mention that the topic was still about Zhao Zheng.
The driver finally opened up.
"Master, I think you are overthinking it."
"What?" Zhou Xian didn't expect that the first sentence uttered by his driver was completely contrary to his nervousness.
"How should I put it? The feeling that the Zhao Mansion Saint and other saints give to ordinary people like us is different. That feeling is just like, just like the Zhao Mansion Saint, that's right!"
"Even the saints of the Zhao Mansion never consider themselves saints! Of course, they are not as concerned about their official positions as the master is!"
