Chapter 266 Who is the third party?(2/2)
The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying much, everyone knew it.
The two entered the Ministry of War together. The structure of the Ministry of War was a rectangular shape, with a central axis running through the middle. There were four major departments of the Ministry of War on both sides: the Ministry of War, the Office, the Department of the Army, the Department of War, and a courtyard in the middle, with flowers, trees, ponds and fish, all for the officials to rest. Zhang Huan's Shangshu Room is located at the innermost point, and next to it is the House of the Minister of War. Generally speaking, the House of the Minister of War is just a symbol. The Minister of War does not care about the specific affairs of the Ministry. Most of the time, the Secretary of War works in the Daming Palace, and only listens to reports of major events every month, while the Secretary of the Ministry of War is fully responsible for the specific affairs of the Ministry.
Cui Yu was only the Minister of War. His official identity was the Minister of the Left Prime Minister and his status was high, but the Minister of War had been undermined and he was more inclined to favor the Minister of War who had real power.
The two sat down in Zhang Huan's Shangshu room, Shutong served them with fragrant tea, Cui Yu took a sip of the tea ceremony: "I heard that Pei Jun had signed the matter when Yuan Zai took over as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and now the Ministry of Personnel forwarded it, and it is estimated that there will be an approval document tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Huan hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you for this matter, Cui Xiangguo."
Cui Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I heard that the Empress Dowager intended to make Li Huai, the Prince of Jiyang, the Minister of War, but Pei Xiangguo said that this position had been decided by the Ministry of War, so he was not convenient to intervene. Do you understand the profound meaning of this?"
Zhang Huan sneered secretly, how could he not understand? Li Huai is the eldest son of Li Mao, the former King of Shou, and the direct descendant of the royal family. Cui Xiaofu knew it was impossible to recommend him, but she simply wanted to differentiate her relationship with the royal family. This was the same method as her way of asking Li Qiu to come to Jincheng County to seek an official. Pei Jun followed the flow and undoubtedly added a handful of oil to the fire. Both of them wanted to take advantage of the situation!
"No matter what, I still have to thank the Grand Priest Cui for helping you."
Cui Yu glanced at Zhang Huan deeply and smiled faintly, "Don't thank me, if you want to thank me, thank your father-in-law."
The two chatted for a while, Cui Yu said goodbye and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, Zhang Huan suddenly remembered something and called Cui Yu, "Prime Minister, can Li Zheng come to report his work?"
Cui Yu frowned and thought for a while, "I remember at the end of November, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War had jointly issued a notice, ordering him to come to Beijing to report his work at the end of the year. The registration date was December 25. Two days have passed, but there was no movement. He should have not come to Beijing yet."
"Then can his deputy governor come to the Ministry of War to change the registration?"
"The deputy envoy of the Jiedushi is Sang Ping, and he has no dereliction of duty. Why should he change it?"

Cui Yu left, Zhang Huan fell into deep thought. Li Zheng had killed Sang Ping for stealing food without reporting it. Either he could not justify himself, or he thought there was no need to report it. But no matter what, it was a sign of his possible rebellion, but Pei Jun was indifferent. Could it be that Pei Jun really couldn't control him? It shouldn't be. It is said that the last time Cui Yi went, Li Zheng was already intimidated and was doing everything as Pei Yi said. It was only more than a month later that things were out of control. Even if he killed Sang Ping and completely controlled the army, what about Pei Jun's actions?
He almost ignored it. It was so weird. Could it be that Pei Jun didn't know the news after his subordinates shot and killed the pigeon last time? It was impossible! The pigeon was just a quick message, and there would be a formal and complete report afterwards. It has been seven or eight days, and he should have known it no matter what.
Also, who did the news that Li Zheng was about to rebel in Chang'an? This was obviously forcing Li Zheng to show off.
