Chapter 91 What he lost was just a pair of legs, but what I almost lost was my face (please order for the first time!)
Zhao Duan walked out of Lihuatang, walked out from the main door alone, and walked into the room of the "Female Prime Minister" car.
"Is the arrangement complete?" Da Bingtuozi was looking up with his eyes closed to rest.
"It's just a few rules." Zhao Duan said with a smile.
"Why do you do this?" Mochou got straight to the point, "I mean, operating on Li Lang."
Zhao Duan said calmly:
"It's just to establish prestige. He has the biggest background, and he takes the initiative to show up. There is no reason not to kill the monkey to scare the chicken."
Mochou stared at him and frowned:
"With your mind, if you want to establish your authority, there is a better way. The worst is, as long as I appear with you, no matter how stupid Li Lang is, he will not insult His Majesty's face in public.
But you deliberately asked me to wait outside, which means that you deliberately sent me away. You were planning to find someone to sacrifice the flag, and Li Lang just happened to bump into it. "
After being told his thoughts, Zhao Duan looked as usual and said with a smile: "So what? Isn't this the purpose of Mr. Yuan and His Majesty, who sent me here? Why should Mo Zhaorong ask knowingly?"
Mochou said calmly: "Say what you think."
Zhao Duan sat lazily on the pillow, sighed softly, and said:
"Aren't things very clear?
Lihuatang brings together the problems of the yamen. Whether Ma Dugong is hindered by favors or leaves a way out, in short, it is not easy to solve them personally. The best way is to send an outsider to rectify it. "
"This outsider must have no connection with the old forces of Zhaoyamen, and must not be afraid of offending people and dare to offend others, and I happen to be the most suitable candidate."
"Because of circumstances and reasons, I took office today, and Duke Ma should have come forward in person, but he made excuses to hide. Why?
Because if he helps me, then in the eyes of everyone, I will be carrying out the will of Duke Ma. Daozi, what I did was the assignment of the Governor, so the arrival of me as an 'outsider' would be meaningless."
"Therefore, Mr. Ma must be separated from me. I can only and only represent His Majesty's will..."
Well, this is also the true purpose of His Majesty sending you here to support me. By standing by my side, you are announcing it to everyone. "
Zhao Duan talked eloquently.
After observing the female officer's face, he continued:
"As for Li Lang, huh... How could His Majesty not know that Princess Yunyang's son is here?
He knew it, but from beginning to end, he never reminded me, not even you, Mo Zhaorong, of this intention. Not clear enough?
It's nothing more than asking me to let go and do things, and even lending my hand to clean up and punish this useless thing. I just hear the sound of the string and know the elegant meaning, and act according to the order. "
After these words were thrown out, Mo Chou's stern face couldn't help but be slightly moved.
As the emperor's personal attendant, she had long heard of Zhao Duan's wit and sophistication in the past two months.
It is clearer that Mr. Yuan can recommend him personally.
This cannot be achieved by just relying on a beautiful face to please the empress.
But what you hear is false, and what you see is true.
At this moment, Zhao Duan was able to guess the intentions of all parties behind the scenes, including the tasks she shouldered, with just a little bit of information.
Even if he is not happy, he has to admit that he is capable.
It's a pity... Talent but no virtue.
No matter how good your mind is and how shrewd your skills are, your character is poor, hypocritical and domineering...
Still a scumbag after all.
Mochou said coldly: "But even if you acquiesce to teach him a lesson, you must have a degree of restraint. Today you will punish him in public and have his legs broken. Even if Princess Yunyang can go to Shenlong Temple to ask for elixir for treatment, but It’s also crossed the line.”
Zhao Duan raised the corner of his mouth and said quietly: "That's why I asked you to wait outside, otherwise wouldn't it be difficult if Zhao Rong was there?"
Mochou's chest heaved as she was choked, and she almost laughed out of anger:
"Then I want to thank you for your consideration?"
"That's not necessary. The word "thank you" is too light. I like a more practical thank you gift." Zhao Duan said shamelessly.
Immediately he sighed softly, with a sincere look on his face: "It's hard for me to do it too. If you just point it out and stop it, the punishment is not severe enough, and the methods are not ruthless enough, then what's the point? How can those Jinyi be convinced? Afraid? You will still think that I bully the weak and fear the strong.
But now, I dare say, at least on the surface, these people don't dare to mess with me anymore, and the results will be immediate. As for the price, it is nothing more than Mr. Li’s legs. "
Zhao Duan looked aggrieved: "What he lost was just a pair of legs, but what I almost lost was my face!"
inside the carriage.
The female prime minister was shocked by this outrageous statement. She opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Duan smiled again and said:
"Besides, Zhao Rong can take the elixir from the palace treasury later and send it over, and I will ask your Majesty to reward it.
I have no right to know. In this case, I will be the villain, and the royal family ties can make up for it a little.
It doesn't matter. In the final analysis, Mr. Li just scolded me. I beat him and got angry. It's not that I had to destroy him. That's not the crime. "
"..." Mochou closed her eyes and took a deep breath to suppress her emotions.
She found that she still greatly underestimated Zhao Duan's shamelessness and insidiousness.
She opened her eyes as if she were looking at a madman: "Are you really not afraid that Princess Yunyang will take revenge on you? Even though she has long been married and is no longer considered a royal family in terms of etiquette and law, the power she can use cannot be underestimated. watch for."
Zhao Duan was silent for a rare moment, then suddenly smiled and said:
"From the moment I pointed my sword at Li Yanfu in order to survive, I have been overwhelmed by debts.
I even dared to die to offend the Huaishui Pei family, the prime minister of the dynasty, so why should I be afraid of an old princess who throws herself out? From the moment I set foot on this path, there was no turning back. "
Mo Chou was startled.
At this moment, a ray of summer sunshine filtered through the gap in the car curtain, and happened to shine on Zhao Duan's eyes.
His eyes were dazzlingly bright.
Mochou was silent for a moment, then waved her hand to chase them away: "Go down, I want to return to the palace to resume my duties, and I will report this matter to Your Majesty."
"It's not what I asked for." Zhao Duan smiled and got out of the car.
...Watching the low-key and reserved car drive away, he looked suspicious.
Logically speaking, based on his recent performance, Xu Zhenguan and Yuan Li could both detect that he was different from the rumors and realized that something was fishy.
It was speculated that he was deliberately desecrating himself.
But Mo Zhaorong, who was also a popular person around the emperor, was always steadfastly hostile to him, thinking that he was a hypocritical villain, which was somewhat strange.
"Being known as the 'female prime minister', although it is just a false name rumored, exaggerated too much, and completely incomparable with the real prime minister, but at least it shows that she is not stupid."
"Is her intelligence average? She only achieved her current status because she has followed the empress for so many years and is loyal enough? That's why she didn't notice it? It's possible, but not very likely..."
"Or maybe there is some other secret that I don't know about, which makes him extremely prejudiced against the original owner and cannot be reversed..."
Zhao Duan thought hard for a long time, but he had no answer, so he simply didn't bother to think about it anymore.
She was just a maid in the palace, and he didn't care what the other party thought.
As long as the empress trusts her, no matter what she thinks, just let her be.
"Someone, prepare a car."
Zhao Duan turned around and gave instructions to the subordinates in the duty room.
The news of establishing authority still needs time to spread.
He did not stay in the hall today and was too lazy to socialize with his colleagues. He planned to take some time to make the next arrangements in advance.
He did not forget that his hidden mission was to uncover the "ghosts" hiding in the imperial office.
…
…
"That's what it is."
In the Governor's Hall, Zhou Cang finished narrating the news he heard.
inside the room.
The great eunuch Ma Yan was pacing with his hands behind his hands, his face showing excitement.
Beat Li Lang with a stick... Mo Chou stood up... Sent to prison... Set down three rules...
In less than an hour after Zhao Duan took office, he completed a complete set of combination punches, leaving no one with time to react.
Ma Yan just now thought that if Zhao Duan couldn't handle it, he would intervene to mediate. This would help him but not follow the truth.
But who would have thought that things would progress so quickly.
Moreover, Mo Zhaorong actually accompanied him on the platform, which he had never expected.
After thinking for a moment, I understood His Majesty's thoughts.
After all, he doesn't want to get involved... Therefore, as the governor, it is best for him to remain "invisible" when it comes to dealing with Lihuatang.
"I know," Ma Yan stopped, thought for a moment, and asked:
"What's the wind direction in Lihuatang now?"
Zhou Cang said:
"The effect of establishing authority is very good. Those thorns have become docile, at least for the next few days, they will be temporarily obedient. After Mr. Zhao established the rules, he left the Yamen, and I don't know where he went."
This kid ran quite fast... Ma Yan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the wind chimes under the eaves: "But it's only temporary. Being afraid of power and not being ethical is not a long-term solution."
At the moment, the Lihuatang Jinyi were afraid of Zhao Duan and were temporarily submissive.
But if you want to tame a group of wild horses, a whip alone is not enough.
If Zhao Duan wants to truly include Tang Kou in his team, he must win over the hearts of those people.
"I thought that with Zhao Jisi's skill and wisdom, it might be possible." Zhou Cang thought for a while and said.
Ma Yan glanced at him and smiled:
"Have you just caught a spy from Prince Jing's palace with him once and are you convinced? You know, the knowledge of controlling subordinates and leading troops is very different from using one's power to bully others or playing tricks.
In the past few times, he has made meritorious deeds, mostly based on meticulous observation, looking for opportunities, playing with people's hearts, deceiving, and taking advantage of others... and he is also good at this, but this time it is different.
If you want to make a group of unruly warriors agree in their hearts and return to their hearts, you must not use scheming means. Therefore, many civil servants who are good at power and strategizing are in trouble in the army, just because they cannot win the love and affection of the soldiers. trust.
On the contrary, the most effective way to conquer soldiers is personality charm, but unfortunately, his reputation is notorious...
What's more, the people in Lihuatang are not soldiers who are easy to fool. They are all thieves and thieves. Even I can't make them return home. "
As he said this, Ma Yan also frowned, feeling troubled.
He began to think about how he could help Zhao Du.
But after thinking of several ways, he needed to personally promote it.
But unfortunately, the empress has almost made it clear that she wants him not to interfere with Lihuatang.
At this moment, even with the experience of this "King of Yama", he couldn't think of a good way.
After thinking hard for a moment, Ma Yan rubbed the center of his brows and suddenly thought:
If you can't help him head-on, maybe you can change your mind.
But I'm afraid that if I use too much force, I'll be self-defeating... Ma Yan weighed it a little, and finally said: "Send an order to call the head of the Nine Halls, the Guan Ji Division, to come to the Governor's Hall to discuss matters."
After a brief pause, he added:
"If you are not in the Yamen, you don't have to come."
In this way, the eight major detectives gathered together, but only Zhao Duan was missing.
