Chapter 205 [The First Confrontation between the Two Giants]

The fragrance wafts through the nose.

Han Mo didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied, "The minister's impulsive heart has disappeared before, so he is not impulsive now!" ”

"Oh!" Princess Xiu's eyes crossed with different colors, and she stared at Han Mo and said, "It turns out that you are still a gentleman!" ”

Han Mo shook his head and said calmly: "Everyone is flesh and blood, seven emotions and six desires, and they are all inevitable. It's just that the minister invited Her Royal Highness to see the princess this time, and he only thought about one thing in his heart, and he only wanted to do his own thing well, so he had no distractions! ”

Princess Xiu smiled charmingly and said softly: "Life, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, can't ask for it, there are always more troubles in the world than joy." ”

"That's what the princess said!"

Han Mo replied, his eyes inadvertently swept over the two palace maids who were massaging Princess Xiu, this sweep almost shocked him into a cold sweat, he clearly saw that the throats of these two so-called "palace maids" were slightly raised, which had an Adam's apple.

Looking at the "palace maid" dressed in palace maid costume and smeared like a monkey ** on her face, Han Mo almost vomited.

These two "palace maids" turned out to be dressed as men.

"Director Han, why did you come to see this palace?" Princess Xiu did it lazily, stretched her waist, and the two balls of beautiful flesh on her chest were even more amazingly proud, and the grape-like highlights were also convex, which was extremely conspicuous.

Han Mo said calmly: "The minister is here to get the silver!" ”

"Take the silver?"

"Yes!" Han Mo said: "The minister has already calculated, the three years of salary and miscellaneous expenses of the West Flower Hall totaled two thousand three hundred taels, so the minister came to get it back." ”

Princess Xiu was not surprised, but smiled even more flatteringly: "Director Han is here just for this little thing?" ”

"The minister doesn't think it's a trivial matter, it's a matter of loyalty, the food is good, everyone in the West Flower Hall from top to bottom is loyal to the saint, so let everyone eat enough, that is also the duty of the court, and the minister just acts according to the rules of the court." Han Mo stared at Princess Xiu's beautiful face full of mature charm, and said with a hint of a smile.

Princess Xiu smiled coquettishly: "In this way, Director Han is really a competent official, before you, the director of the West Flower Hall was not so dedicated to doing things for their subordinates. ”

Han Mo kept a smile and said: "The minister has been blessed with the grace of the Holy Lord, and if he gets this errand, he will naturally do everything well, only in that way will the minister not live up to the Holy Emperor's grace, nor will he live up to the position of the head of the hall." ”

Princess Xiu's beautiful eyes flowed, and she said softly: "It seems that Director Han is really a loyal minister of our Yan Kingdom. After a pause, he shook his head lightly and said, "It's just that Director Han didn't come at the right time!" ”

"Oh!" Han Mo's face remained unchanged: "The princess's words must have a deep meaning, and please show the princess!" ”

Princess Xiu said quietly: "The salary of the West Flower Hall is indeed from the inner library, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is just ...... It's just that the inner palace has done too many things in the past few years, and the silver in the inner treasury has also been spent like flowing water. Originally, it didn't hurt to spend some silver, after all, there was always an income in the inner treasury. In the eyes of outsiders, officials and businessmen, state and county tribute silver, foreign silver, it seems that there is a lot of silver in the inner treasury, in fact, they don't understand, over the years, the inner treasury is getting tighter and tighter, and the income is beyond the means, although there is still some silver, but the thousands of mouths in the palace always have to eat, not to mention the salaries and silver of those palace maids and eunuchs, just the expenses of those ladies, the inner treasury sometimes can't hold up, but the palace is responsible for the position of the chief of the inner treasury, and can't be ignored, it's really a dilemma...... Hey, sometimes the palace doesn't want the inner library! ”

Han Mo listened to the previous words, just regarded them as nonsense, but this last sentence really made his heart skip a beat, and it was really quite shocking.

He quietly glanced at Princess Xiu's legs, which were wrapped in black, and he couldn't tell if there were any so-called "panties" in them!

"Take care, princess!" Han Mo responded.

Princess Xiu smiled softly and continued: "Actually, the East Flower Hall's salary and silver palace have also been deducted for a while, and your West Flower Hall has few people, so the palace is sometimes negligent ......!" ”

"The princess said very much. The princess has a lot of opportunities, and some things can't be remembered, which is also human nature, so the minister came here to remind the princess that there is still this matter. After all, the West Flower Hall is an internal errand, and the people inside are also courtiers who are loyal to the saint, and it doesn't hurt to remember them occasionally, but they can't be treated as if they don't exist, so it always makes everyone feel cold in their hearts! Han Mo said calmly, looking at Princess Xiu's charming eyes without the slightest concession.

Several tall and plump female guards in the room were wearing waist knives, and they all looked at Han Mo deadly, but it was the two feminine male servants who inadvertently glanced at Han Mo a few times, in their eyes, Han Mo was really an ignorant man.

"Han Mo, you don't understand. After the rebellion in Bozhou County was quelled, the saint pulled out a lot of silver from the inner library to reward the heroes, and now the inner library is even more nervous, and the two thousand taels of silver in the West Flower Hall are only afraid that there are some difficulties ......! Princess Xiu seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Han Mo did not hesitate in the slightest because of Princess Xiu's embarrassed expression, and said clearly and clearly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the salary of the West Flower Hall has reached the time when it must be paid, and the West Flower Hall has waited for three years, and there is no time to wait any longer. ”

Princess Xiu's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, stared at Han Mo and said, "Han Mo, I don't like you to talk like this. ”

"Loyalty is contrary to the ear, and it has been known since ancient times." Han Mo said calmly: "The minister came this time, just to get back the silver due to the West Flower Hall, and also to show Her Royal Highness the princess, the establishment of the West Flower Hall is three hundred people, the minister has received the grace of the saint, and he does not dare to slack off, and he will definitely fill the establishment as soon as possible, so I hope that the princess will be able to release the salary of the actual staff to my West Flower Hall on time in the future." ”

"What if I say no?" Princess Xiu sighed faintly, looked at Han Mo and asked.

"Since the West Flower Hall is the yamen institution of the Yan Kingdom, it is an official institution of the state before the Holy Lord has not explicitly ordered it to be abolished." Han Mo said indifferently: "If the inner treasury does not pay the silver, the minister will apply to the cabinet, and the cabinet will negotiate, and the household department will issue the Xihua Hall silver in the future!" ”

When Princess Xiu heard this, a strange color immediately flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Han Mo's words were an understatement, but how could Princess Xiu not know the weight of it.

……

The flower hall receives the salary from the inner treasury, that is, the emperor uses his own silver to raise the flower hall, so that the flower hall ensures absolute independence, and because of this, the cabinet and the family forces cannot be inserted at all.

The power of the family is everywhere in Yan Kingdom, and there is the shadow of the family in almost every corner, and as for Yanjing City, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the shadow of the family is everywhere.

The authority of today's emperor is actually a fart in the eyes of the family, no better than the early days of the founding of the Yan State.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, although King Yan Wu relied on the power of the family to build the country, but after all, he was a generation of eloquent monarchs, and he issued too many measures to suppress the power of the family, just to guard against the threat of the family power to the imperial power, and his measures did suppress the power of the family, so the founding of the country began for decades, and the imperial power was exclusive and controlled the family to the death.

However, the Yan Kingdom started by relying on the family, the foundation of the family is deep-rooted, although the emperor has the intention to strike, but the entire Yan Kingdom is actually a mountain based on the family, and the emperor without peerless talents is difficult to get along with the way to get rid of the family and not let the Yan Kingdom collapse. Although King Yanwu has this talent, after ascending the throne, he is gradually implementing his inner method, but such a ** change is by no means something that can be completed in a short period of time, although he reigned for eleven years, it was only the beginning, and he died without reaching his long-cherished wish.

The successor monarch has no peerless talent of King Wu of Yan, ** reform can not be effectively continued, the power of the family that has been suppressed has been restored, and the internal and external troubles of the Yan country, so that the Yan country began to rely on the power of the family to stabilize the foundation of the country, the external resistance to the enemy country, the internal town banditry, but also let the family with the help of these factors to quickly re-rise, to the time of the first emperor, the power of the family has reached its peak, the establishment of the cabinet system, but also let the power of the family overshadow the imperial power.

Today's imperial power, in fact, does not have much deterrent effect on the family, and the royal family can be safely high above the throne for nothing more than two reasons: internal and external.

The internal reason is due to the fact that the royal family still holds two powerful forces.

The first is the Imperial Forest Army, the five major Imperial Forest Army of Yanjing, the soldiers are strong and strong, they can fight well, and they are well-equipped.

The second is the Dark Institution Flower Hall that no family power can penetrate, and from a certain point of view, the Dark Flower Hall is an absolute force that the royal family regards as the pearl in the palm of the hand.

As for the external causes, it is even more simple, the families fight with each other, hinder each other, deceive each other, and cannot be unified, in this case, in order to protect their own interests, they will naturally show awe for this imperial power on the surface.

Even so, the weakening of the imperial power and the strength of the family have become an indisputable fact in the Yan Kingdom.

Both the West Flower Hall and the East Flower Hall are institutions that receive salaries from the Inner Treasury, that is, the emperor's private institutions, which are completely under the orders of the emperor and serve the imperial rule.

Han Mo said that he wanted to show the cabinet and receive the silver from the household department, once it became a fact, then the West Flower Hall would fall from the hands of the emperor to the hands of the cabinet, that is, into the hands of the family, so as to become part of the family's power, such a good thing, the family naturally could not ask for it, and the cabinet would fully support it in the future.

Although the West Flower Hall is now vulnerable, as long as it has support, it will soon be able to grow in a legitimate way.

After all, nominally, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, all the institutions of the Yan Kingdom belong to the emperor's subordinates, in the name, whether it is the flower hall or the household department or even the cabinet, are the emperor's ruling institutions, in this way, the inner library and the household department also belong to the royal institutions, no matter where the West Flower Hall receives the silver, in name, it is the food of the king.

How could Princess Xiu not understand the meaning, so as soon as Han Mo spoke, a different color immediately flashed in her eyes, including anger, surprise, and even a hint of murderous intent.

In her opinion, such an idea is definitely not something that a young official like Han Mo can come up with, and it is a method negotiated by the upper echelons of the Han family, but she just thought wrong, this attention is just that Han Mo learned a little about the situation of complementarity and inner library, and he didn't think much about it.

Princess Xiu quickly laughed, and her voice was like a silver bell, "Is Director Han threatening the palace?" ”

"Don't dare!" Han Mo Zhengse said: "The minister just thinks that if you want to be loyal to the saint, you must live to become a living person, if you starve to death, how can you talk about being loyal to the king and serving the country?" He bent down and saluted, "If the minister has any inappropriate words, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to condemn the crime." The minister's words have been exhausted, please retreat to the princess! ”

"Are you leaving?" Princess Xiu blinked her eyes and said softly.

"After the minister retires, he will wait for the princess in Xihua Hall to send someone to send a silver ......!" Han Mo said lightly: "If the princess is guilty, the minister will wait for the will of the saint to remove the head of the hall in the West Flower Hall!" He bowed deeply, and then slowly retreated, and before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the sexy body of this beautiful woman wrapped in black silk.

After Han Mo retreated, Princess Xiu sighed softly, lay down again, closed her eyes, and seemed to be pondering something.

The manservant next to Princess Xiu said in a strange voice: "Princess, Han Mo is too rude, he is just a dog under the princess, how dare he be so rampant!" ”

Princess Xiu didn't even open her eyes, but said lightly: "Give him a knife!" ”

A red-armored female guard immediately took out a small crooked knife and threw it beside the manservant.

The manservant immediately understood something, fell to his knees, and cried, "Princess, the villain has lost his word...... The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life, the little one will never dare again! ”

"Your tongue is not meant to speak, and since you have said it, there is no need to keep it." Princess Xiu still had a pair of beautiful eyes closed, and her voice was calm: "The person you scolded, you don't even have the qualifications to let him take a look!" ”

The manservant knew that it was useless to ask for any more, so he trembled and took the tongue knife, stretched out his tongue, and pointed the blade to the tongue.

There was a scream, blood splattered, and it was so beautiful!
