Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 341 House of Internal Affairs

"Why is Eunuch so polite today? If you don't know, you think Eunuch is blaming this king for something." Feng Yong said with a faint smile.

Li Sheng quickly denied it: "Your Highness is just joking, how can you blame your Highness, it's just because you were transferred from the Clothing Bureau, and Eunuch Wang feels that His Highness doesn't trust the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"My father-in-law also said that no one blames the king. Isn't that just blaming? In fact, it's not that the king doesn't believe you at all. It's just that some departments are originally female officials. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is involved, there will be some mistakes, everyone. You will be punished inexplicably. At that time, the emperor, queen and other masters will not understand that you do not understand and are not skilled. They are all good hands in handling things, and each of them is able to stand alone. If such a capable person suffers unfair injustice, it will be the fault of this king. The emperor has spoken." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "The younger one thinks so too. The prince always thinks about our Ministry of Internal Affairs. The younger one told them, the prince and the queen will put themselves in our shoes, how can they harm us?" What? But they still complained a lot. You know, my lord, just like the prince, when he was not transferred to the Shangyi Bureau, he was just a little eunuch, not even a steward. When he arrived at the Shangyi Bureau, he was considered an acting director. Mr. Yi, the salary, salary, etc. are all different. I haven’t been working for long now and I’ve been knocked back to my original shape. This prince is always a little reluctant.”

"Actually, this matter is also my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to you. In fact, this king has suggested to the emperor before that we need to set up a special procurement agency to be responsible for the trade between neighboring countries and our country. This department, Prince Luo is in charge of stationing abroad, and the capital city is in charge of this king. This king thought, Eunuch Li, you are busy with your affairs, so naturally you can’t run around with me. Eunuch Wang is also a talent, and he is a little eunuch. It's a pity, I was just about to transfer him to follow the king here and there. No, this happened before I asked the prince. In the end, it was the king's fault. The king didn't say it in time. This matter." Feng Yong looked guilty.

In fact, Feng Yong never thought of asking the palace people to be responsible, but thinking about it, Wei Huaqing wouldn't feel at ease. Instead of letting him choose, it's better to choose by herself, and it's easier to deal with.

Li Sheng nodded quickly: "Oh, just tell me, the young one. The prince will not forget us. I didn't expect to keep such a fat job. When the young one goes back, he must talk to Wang Hong and let him stop thinking about it." , the lord is a good master, he will not treat us badly, we just need to follow the lord well, only the lord will follow his lead."

"Your father-in-law is flattering you, but this king just thinks that everyone is his own person. If there is any good thing, everyone should have the same blessings and share the difficulties, don't you think so? You and the prince have never treated the king as an outsider and said everything. Well, this king naturally planned well for the two father-in-laws when necessary. By the way, since the father-in-law has been transferred, who is in charge of the clothing bureau now?" Feng Yong asked with a smile.

Li Sheng smiled and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, this Shangyi Bureau, the newly appointed Si Yi is a direct disciple of the former Master Si Yi, Qin Gentian, known as Nine Aunts, turned out to be the Dianyi officer. This Shangyi Bureau, the last The senior one is Lord Shanggong, who is the fifth grade. The current Lord Shanggong is Fang Qingdai Fang Shanggong, and he will be out of the palace in two years. There are three official positions under Lord Shanggong, namely Siyi, Secretary Ornaments, commanders, and the six ranks are in charge of palace clothes, accessories and ceremonial supplies in the palace. Now the three official positions have been selected. They are the Jiugu Guqin, Qulian and Shangzhi just mentioned. Except Jiugu Auntie, the others are all old and have not been replaced. Under Si Yi and others, there are Dianyi, Dian ornaments, Dian Zhang, Zhang Yi, palm ornaments, and Zhang Zhang. I will not introduce them one by one. Apart from these, there is another A separate department, called Sixiufang, is in charge of doing some female celebrity work for the Shangyi Bureau. There is a Master Sixiu, Zheng Liupin, a Dianxiu, and a Zhangxiu. Unless it is a big job, otherwise, As for those who have already made an order, those who make palace uniforms can just go to the corresponding subordinate Si Yi and the others to hurry up the progress, and they don’t need to go to Lord Shang for every detail.”

"Oh, then the king understands, so now, if we want to know how the princess's palace clothes are doing, we should go to Lord Si Yi, Aunt Jiu?" Feng Yong was a little ignorant.

Li Sheng shook his head: "No, although the palace clothes are made under Jiugugu, the embroidery part of the princess's palace clothes has not been finished yet, so the princess's palace clothes should still be embroidered at Sixiufang. "

"Then the clothes materials that the empress rewarded will be sent to Jiugugu or directly to Sixiufang?" Feng Yong still didn't understand, wouldn't it be good to do this kind of thing together?must be separated.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "New materials will be sent to Aunt Jiu, who decides on the style and matching of the clothes, and decides on the accessories with Master Si Zhu and others, and then they will be sent to Si Embroidery Workshop. Therefore, The palace clothes in this palace are made so slowly, not because we are negligent as slaves, but because it is really troublesome."

"That's, that's, there are rules in this palace, you always need to be more careful. Besides, there are rules for these tricks and so on, it's normal to be slower." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "But the lord, don't worry, the little one has already understood it. It won't take a few days. It happens that the Shangyi Bureau is relatively free now, so it will be faster. When the young masters enter the palace, the Shangyi Bureau I'm just busy. But it doesn't affect the princess and the prince, because the uniforms of the princess and the prince are not under the control of the Shangyi Bureau."

"Actually, the king and the princess don't like luxury, and ordinary clothes are also custom-made outside. It's nothing, you don't need to trouble the Clothing Bureau, it's just the palace clothes, they are used when entering the palace, and you always need the Clothing Bureau to help you look at them." Yes. By the way, Eunuch Li, which department is in charge of rouge and gouache in the palace?" Feng Yong asked with a smile.

Li Sheng shook his head: "There is no special department for these, they are purchased together by a special department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The prince knows that in fact, all the empresses in the palace use them as tribute, what about the rest of the little masters and maids Yes, those are all handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy together, there is no special management, and the purchases are similar."

"Actually, this king thinks that in the future, there must be special people to manage these things. In fact, for the young master and maids, makeup and appearance are also very important. Rouge powder, face powder after bathing, etc. are also needed. A special person is in charge. Each empress' preferences and usage also need special records. In fact, there are many kinds of substances in the rouge gouache. Be careful." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng nodded: "Your Majesty is right, I just hope that the Emperor can create a special department for it. In fact, for people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, purchasing people are fat jobs, and everyone wants to do it, so, Your Majesty wants to It is a bit difficult to set up several departments to be responsible for each. And the younger one also suggested to the prince to avoid talking about it. Originally, the prince meant well, but the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not necessarily think so. When the time comes, the prince will still be the bad guy, so there will be no problem. alright."

"Of course this king knows about these things, but there are some things that this king can't do if he doesn't say anything. If he doesn't say anything, this errand will become fatter and fatter. Wouldn't it make the emperor suffer? Besides, this king is doing this to protect those who buy things. His Majesty has not found out yet, but when the Emperor finds out, these buyers may not be so relaxed and comfortable. The Emperor hates corruption the most, if the Emperor finds out, these people are still good?" Feng Yong wrinkled Said with a frown.

Li Sheng smiled: "Of course I know. Everything the prince does is for the consideration of everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The prince is now half the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How could we not know? But there are some things that the prince does. People just don’t understand. When the time comes, they will definitely have some resentment towards the prince. In addition, the prince is usually busy with official duties, not only the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the time comes, if the prince is not careful in any way, someone with malicious intentions will take advantage of him. .Besides, this kind of fat job is usually done only by those with some background. If the prince gets into trouble with such a person, wouldn't it be very troublesome? It's better to turn a blind eye and close one eye and feel comfortable. "

"Of course this king knows that Eunuch Li has good intentions, but if this matter is not resolved, it will be the emperor, all the masters in the palace, and even everyone who is a slave to everyone. Today he dares to do it on this little face. Playing tricks, tomorrow he dares to make some moves on the tribute offering. If this continues, it will become more and more serious in the long run. All things, as long as they do not affect the masters, I don't want to take care of them. No one wants to sit around every day How about drinking tea and chatting there, living a leisurely life? But it’s impossible. If this king doesn’t know, the emperor may just punish the one who made a mistake when such a thing happened. But this king knows today and will know it in the future. Said, even without telling the emperor, Eunuch Li thinks, what will the emperor think? The emperor will not think, this king does not want to cause trouble, the emperor will think, whether this king accepts these small tricks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs For the sake of profit, I did some shady things, so I didn't say it. At this time, this king is really, and I can't clean it up.

Eunuch Li, in fact, this king knows that this king said that he is a king side by side, but he has always been just a prince who helps the emperor with trivial matters.This king is not as good as his father in military exploits, nor is he as powerful as Lord Luo in military exploits and comrades-in-arms. This king only has himself, so he doesn't even have any advantages.What this king did was not to make life difficult for some people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but to make life possible for everyone.The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is the place responsible for the internal affairs of the palace. If something goes wrong in this kind of place, can the palace still be peaceful?
Let's take the cosmetics as an example, the ones in the imperial palace are naturally the best. If the cosmetics in the palace are much better than those in the palace, the father-in-law thinks, what will the emperor and all the empresses think?That's why this king can make better jewelry and better clothes for the princess, but let the princess wear plain and old ones.The emperor's must be the best, we must maintain it carefully, we must be more careful, we can't let the minister's, it is better than the emperor, do you think the king is right? "Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng nodded: "I understand, but if this continues, the prince will offend many people. The House of Internal Affairs is not as simple as the prince thinks, nor is it as simple as outsiders see it. Many people think that the House of Internal Affairs is just A group of eunuchs, easy to bully, and lowly, a group of slaves. But the young ones found that the more they are like this, the easier it is to suffer from the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After so many years, the little master who has offended the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has been manipulated in terms of supply Is there still less? Even the young masters dare not take care of the dirty affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let alone you, the prince? The small one is just to let the prince not waste his thoughts in vain.

But it is not unreasonable for the prince to say so.However, the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs requires norms and methods, rather than requiring the prince to report to the emperor again and again.What the prince has done, in the eyes of some people, is a sign of a good official, but in the eyes of the person concerned, it is not necessarily a good thing.They will feel that the prince is meddling with a mouse.Just like you said, you and the princess don't need to bother the clothing bureau. In their view, the prince is just a slightly higher official than them, and they don't regard you as their master.At this time, no matter what you do, right or wrong, as long as it affects their interests, they will regard you as an enemy.The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not fuel-efficient lamps, they have eyeliner everywhere, why should the prince cause trouble for himself in the future by talking too much about himself? "

"Elder-in-law, I know your good intentions, and I also know that the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs cannot be done in a day or two. But in many cases, the reason why the emperor arranged this position for me is because I know that I can't do it. .Even if I don’t do anything, there will be a pair of eyes looking at me, so why not do what I should do? Just like now, my father-in-law can guarantee that these people pass by without eyeliner Can the eunuch guarantee that what the king said to the eunuch now will reach the ears of the emperor in the next second? This is also the reason why the king doesn't like it and there are too many people in the mansion.

It's not that this king is suspicious and doesn't trust the emperor or the Ministry of Internal Affairs.But there are so many people talking, who can guarantee that a word I said unintentionally will not be used by someone with a heart?The majestic palace, the emperor's chassis, are prone to some dark things, not to mention, it is a mere palace?That being the case, all I can say is that if you do something with a clear conscience, to be worthy of yourself and your master, that's it. "Feng Yong smiled wryly.
