Chapter 716 Change of Power
Hua Hong left surrounded by a crowd of people.
Although Mo Yin Pavilion is the center of power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the year-end banquet and the emergency meeting personally convened by Xu Yinhe, high-level officials like Hua Hong and Lou Ji rarely appear here.
As the prince who has been "supervising the country" in the prime minister's office for more than ten years, Xu Changge knows very well how busy these people are.
There is no need to mention that Lou Ji spends only a handful of time in Di'an throughout the year.
Hua Hong is slightly better, but there is a mountain of affairs, and many cooperation and surveys like the Chamber of Commerce require him to be on site in person.
These two people happened to come to Mo Yin Pavilion to report on their work on the same day, which was one of the few people in the past ten years.
Is it because of the change of heir this time?
Even in some small aristocratic families, such a major event would cause shock both inside and outside the local area, let alone the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Throughout the history of Great Yan, the change of successor to a behemoth like the Xiangguo Mansion was often followed by a large-scale purge of the former's close officials.
However, due to his father's prestige, the shock to the Prime Minister's Mansion should not be too great.
At the very least, no one should die, at least not high-level officials.
But that's about it.
If the person in charge changes to Chang Tian, he will definitely overturn some of the decrees he implemented initially due to different perceptions and judgments.
And this will inevitably affect the distribution of interests among several large institutions under the Prime Minister's Office.
Lou Ji and Hua Hong most likely rushed over to see Changtian because of this.
In this case, we should see other acquaintances waiting on the top floor soon.
Stand there and count your breaths,
Xu Changge also led the three little ones of the Feng family to continue walking up the attic.
The elevated corridor is magnificent, and the echoing footsteps are embellished with deep majesty.
Xu Changge walked in front without saying a word.
The three little ones of the Feng family followed behind him.
The first time she came to such a realm, Feng Ziming seemed a little embarrassed, but her dark eyes couldn't help but look around curiously.
After walking in the deep corridor for a long time,
The girl couldn't help but pull the sloth girl's clothes in front of her and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Xunhua, who was that old man with the white beard just now?"
Feng Xunhua glanced at the girl slowly, tilted her head and thought for a while, then said feebly:
"It should be the president of Tian'an Chamber of Commerce."
".Tian'an Chamber of Commerce?"
Feng Ziming blinked her beautiful eyes and opened her mouth slightly: "Are you the branch president?"
The Prime Minister's Mansion is too far away from her, but the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce is very close.
When we were in Qifeng Mountain, only the president in charge of the city came to visit. The most powerful elder who had always been indifferent not only smiled at him, but even went to meet him personally from a distance of a mile.
The sloth girl seemed indifferent to this, tilted her head and said softly:
"I have seen his portrait as president, Xiao Ximing."
Feng Ziming was a little startled, and then asked timidly:
"Grandpa's portrait of the president?"
"Because... the great elder and him are old acquaintances, so he asked me to remember him."
"Remember him?"
"Because the great elder said he was a traitor who betrayed his master for glory."
"." Feng Ziming.
"." Feng Xianru.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Feng Xianru's heart stopped beating, and he looked at the elder sister behind him little by little, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Feng Xunhua tilted her head, her eyes confused:
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"I you."
Feng Xianru wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
He felt that this old lady should really be allowed to go home.
Feng Xianru took a deep breath and looked tentatively at Qing Yi in front of him, only to see that he was still walking forward steadily.
With this man's level of cultivation, he must have heard what he just said.
Why pretend not to hear?
In this silence that was so solemn that it seemed like substance, several people were speechless.
There is an open-air hanging corridor on the top floor of Moyin Pavilion.
The Xu family of the prime minister's office had already tampered with the history of that year, but as the core of the Feng family's collateral branch, Feng Xianru was told the truth about the Feng family's decline.
Many people died in the original seizure of power, so Feng Xianru knew the dangers involved.
Because of the words of the idiot sister, the elder was likely to be directly killed, but the man in green in front did not speak, and he did not dare to take the initiative to explain.
After walking several dozen meters, Feng Xianru was debating whether to take the initiative or not, when a rough and hoarse male voice came from the end of the corridor:
"I haven't seen these brats from the Feng family for a long time. As a result, these brats came out with this kind of information as soon as they came to Di'an."
Looking along the sound, I saw it was another old man.
He had short gray hair and wore loose, coarse clothes that could not hide his burly figure. However, the most eye-catching thing was the scar that ran diagonally across the entire face of the old man.
Zong Qingsheng.
Commander of the Black Lin Army.
Zong Qingsheng squatted in front of the door of Jiulongxuan in a very inconspicuous manner, squinting at the four people walking towards him, smoking a long pipe, like a giant iron tower bear squatting in the corner.
When Xu Changge approached,
Zong Qingsheng didn't get up either, he just looked at the sloth girl and said:
"What you little girl said makes sense. Regarding that old man Feng Zhoushu, Hua Hong is indeed a traitor. After all, it was the head of the Feng family who saved him in the first place, but he chose to help Miss Qian'er betray his savior. "
Speaking of which,
Zong Qingsheng grinned, and with the ferocious scar on his face, murderous intent swept over him:
"But it's not the right thing to say, girl."
"."
Feng Xianru's breath was stagnant, and the sloth girl was forced to look away.
Xu Changge looked at the old man and didn't answer, but asked calmly:
"Why is Mr. Zong squatting here?"
Zong Qingsheng exhaled a piece of smoke that dispersed in the wind, shook the ink-colored pipe in his hand, glanced at the room behind him, then looked at Xu Changge, and coldly snorted:
"Some people don't understand the first-come, first-served rule. I waited here for three days and finally managed to get Hua Hong out. Lou Ji, that bitch, rushed in directly. Xu Changtian didn't even ask her to come out. You think it's bad luck or not? ?”
If you get cut in line, you can prevent yourself from being cut in line again, so block the door in advance.
Xu Changge was speechless for a moment and said:
"I'm just here to see someone off, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done."
"That's good."
Zong Qingsheng took a deep breath of welding smoke, exhaled it, stared at the Di'an cityscape behind the hollow wooden fence, and asked:
"I feel like I've changed a lot. Is this because I've been relieved of my burden?"
"So." Xu Changge did not deny it.
"Oh."
Zong Qingsheng chuckled and sighed: "If possible, I would like to"
"Lao Zong, speak carefully."
Xu Changge interrupted, his eyes as calm as a lake.
Looking at each other for a moment,
Zong Qingsheng waved his hand impatiently and spoke directly:
"To put it bluntly, I'm not a close official of yours. I hope you're in office just because you can give me more military pay and supplies."
When Xu Changge was in power, his relationship with Hua Hong and Lou Ji was not good, but his relationship with Zong Qingsheng had always been close.
The reason is also very simple.
He wants to take revenge on those sects.
And revenge requires enough weapons to start a war that will destroy the sect.
Xu Changge is an out-and-out hawk.
Even an iron-blooded hawk like Lou Ji thinks he is too radical a hawk.
Zong Qingsheng's request for funding would basically be met by him. If it weren't for the pressure from his father, the entire Prime Minister's Office would have completely entered a wartime economy five years ago.
The wind in the sky is slightly cool,
Xu Changge was silent for a while and shook his head gently.
At this moment, Zong Qingsheng's words were no longer meant for him.
Raising his hand to knock the door of the Xuan room, Xu Changge said to the person inside the door:
"Changtian, someone brought it to you."
Having said that, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xu Yuan's voice came out from inside:
"Brother, please wait a moment, I have something to ask for."
"Bang!"
Zong Qingsheng stood up and threw the cigarette stick in anger:
"Xu Changtian! You just don't see me, right? I've been here for three days! Three days!"
