Chapter 216 This hat is so green 39
Several days had passed since the banquet. On the first day, Yuan Xi went to the Ministry of War in person to get acquainted with the officials at the Ministry of War, and had an independent office in the Ministry of War. In the next few days, he didn't show up at the Ministry of War at all, leaving Xiao Xizi to order Mao to prove his presence.
A prince like this has no specific official position when he goes to the Sixth Division, which means he can basically take charge of everything.
But the princes, who are new here, will not touch sensitive things and offend the six officials.
Both parties tacitly gave each other face.
This time Yuan Xi went to the Ministry of War, and the Minister of War arranged two subordinates for Yuan Xi to help him understand the situation of the Ministry of War.
Incidentally, he also wanted to monitor Yuan Xi, to find out what the famous prince's temperament and mind were like, whether he was a tough boy, and whether he would touch sensitive things.
Unexpectedly, except for the first day, no one in the Ministry of War had ever seen Prince Ding again.
"Master Shangshu, Prince Ding is not here today either."
"The official asked Xiao Xizi specifically, but he didn't find out anything."
Wu Zongping was one of the two subordinates assigned to Yuan Xi. He and the other person had been doing nothing for several days.
Since the two of them were assigned to Prince Ding, their original duties have been taken over by someone. The problem now is that Prince Ding is not available, and the Ministry of War cannot arrange affairs for Prince Ding, which indirectly results in the two of them having nothing to do. Hanging around in the Ministry of War every day, it was okay for one or two days, but as time went by, they both felt a sense of crisis.
Everyone is busy, they are just dawdling, and they feel like they will be kicked out of the military department at any time.
Wu Zongping has been restless these past two days. When Xiao Xizi arrived today, he quickly stepped forward to inquire about the news about Prince Ding. The main reason was to know when Prince Ding would be able to visit the Ministry of War, but in the end he only got a comment from Xiao Xizi to see how he felt.
Everyone was numb on the spot.
They immediately roped in another friend to find Master Shangshu. They wanted to return to their original posts and shine for the imperial court.
Don't stop them from contributing to the court.
"Master Shangshu, do you think we can go back to our original posts first?"
"Don't worry, you two will compile a copy of the Ministry of War's previous years' information and put it on Prince Ding's desk for Prince Ding's review."
"I would like to obey your Lordship's instructions."
Wu Zongping left happily, no matter what he was doing, he just had to do something.
Zheng Zichen, the Minister of War, also had a headache. Prince Ding never came, and something was wrong with the way His Majesty looked at him.
He was really unjust. Prince Ding did not come on his own. It was not because someone in the Ministry of War was ostracizing him. Besides, no one in the government or the public knew that Prince Ding was favored. Who in the Ministry of War dared to ostracize Prince Ding.
After leaving the court today, His Majesty invited him to the imperial study and posed a difficult problem to him.
"My dear, I heard that Twelve has not set foot in the Ministry of War for many days. Is this possible?"
"It is indeed true. Prince Ding came to the Ministry of War in person on the first day. From then on, servants of the royal palace came to do it for Prince Ding."
"Absurd. My dear, please think of a way and make sure that Prince Ding works conscientiously in the Ministry of War. I want to hear good news in five days."
Zheng Shangshu was confused and wanted to evade, but unfortunately Emperor Liang did not give him this opportunity. Zheng Shangshu, who was forced to take over this task, cursed in his heart, what can he do about this? He was also asked to go to the palace to invite Prince Ding to come as an errand.
After coming out of the palace yesterday, he actually went to the Prince's Mansion.
At that time, Prince Ding sincerely agreed to him, no problem, okay, we will go tomorrow.
Zheng Shangshu was greatly relieved and walked out of the palace happily.
Unexpectedly, Prince Ding still didn’t come today.
So I was deceived yesterday, right?
Zheng Shangshu was worried. As soon as Wu Zongping left, he called the left and right ministers.
"You two find a way to get Prince Ding to come to the Ministry of War. You don't ask him to stay for a long time. Even if he stays for an hour a day, no, half an hour."
"This is a task assigned by His Majesty. You must complete it well. I will give you three days."
The waiters on the left and right looked at each other.
After walking out of Zheng Shangshu's office, they turned around and called their doctors, giving them one day to come up with a solution.
……
Ever since Emperor Liang arranged for Yuan Xi to go to the Ministry of War for training, people have been paying attention to his every move.
He went to the Ministry of War once, and yesterday the Minister of War personally went to the palace to ask him to be an errand, which could not be hidden from those who were interested in observing.
The prince felt more relieved.
The twelfth brother is really a martial arts fanatic. These are the best medicinal materials presented by the people below, so give them to the twelfth brother.
The Sixth Prince was jealous to the point of separation, and kept saying, "Why? Why?..."
Then the study suffered a major blow and had to be renovated again.
The other princes were also feeling sour. The ninth prince and the tenth prince, who were close to Yuan Xi, went to Prince Ding's Mansion yesterday. They had dinner at Prince Ding's Mansion. They ordered ten dishes each and asked for more if they couldn't finish them. Take away.
Yuan Xi didn't understand what their mentality was.
……
"The weather is really nice today."
Yuan Xi was sitting in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant facing the street, looking at the bustling scenery on the street. He felt very comfortable and had completely forgotten what he had promised Zheng Shangshu yesterday.
Xiao Xizi, who helped Yuan Xi go to the Ministry of War to finish the order, stood behind Yuan Xi, feeling a little sympathy for Zheng Shangshu.
There was a commotion downstairs. Yuan Xi looked out the window and saw a large circle of people on the street opposite the restaurant, three floors inside and three floors outside.
From Yuan Xi's perspective, he could only see the crowds of people, but couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
"Xiao Xizi, go find the waiter and find out what's going on down there?"
"promise."
After a while, Xiao Xizi came back.
"My lord, there is a girl down there who is selling her body to bury her father. I heard from the waiter in the shop that the girl is beautiful, and those people are attracted to her."
Such a cliche plot. You can tell with your toes that this is a trap, and you don’t know which fool the people below are trying to trap? Yuan Xi complained in his mind, feeling that it was a bit noisy down there, so he asked Xiao Xizi to close the window.
I thought that the crowd would disperse after a while, but I didn't expect that the noise was going on for a long time. The matter was not settled yet, and it even got louder and louder, making Yuan Xi a little impatient.
"It's too noisy. Hasn't there been a yamen officer from the City Patrol Department to take care of it for so long?"
"Your Majesty, why don't I go downstairs and tell the shopkeeper that the people outside are making such a fuss will also affect the shopkeeper's business."
"Ah."
After receiving the agreement, Xiao Xizi ran down to find the restaurant owner.
