Everyone retreated, but only Li Yi's mansion stayed. Looking at the famous treacherous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future, Yang Fan felt a little complicated.

At this time, Li Yifu was still very young, in his twenties. Although he was not very handsome, he was also pretty and upright.

How could such a person become a traitor that everyone hates?

From the current perspective, Li Yifu is a very eye-catching subordinate. He reminded him a few times just now, which shows that he has strong reaction and adaptability.

When Li Yi Mansion was a little uneasy when he was seen, Yang Fan slowly said as if he was chatting: "Yi Mansion, can you call you like this?"

Hearing such a title, Li Yifu finally let go of his heart and his face suddenly relaxed.

In the yamen, most colleagues are called by their official positions, and only those close or familiar with each other will call each other's names.

Now Yang Fan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the top leader of the host and guest department, actively showing his closeness, so how can he not be excited?

Li Yifu was grateful and hurriedly held his fist and said, "It is the honor of the minister to call him a nobleman like this." There was no artificiality between words and deeds.

Yang Fan asked: "Then tell me why Doctor Gu wanted to deceive my official with fake accounts? Logically speaking, even if the official signs and prints, if these accounts are found to be fake, the official will only be a crime of not investigating them. After all, these accounts did not occur during the term of office of the official. What is his purpose?"

"In the opinion of the officials, it is mainly because of the budget allocation of the host and guest departments in the fourth quarter..." Li Yifu thought for a while and replied.

Hearing Li Yifu's words, Yang Fan then figured out the reason why Gu Bingcheng did this.

It turns out that after the end of each quarter, each department will submit the accounts for this quarter to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for audit. Only when the review is approved can you apply for the budget for the next quarter.

If Yang Fan does not check the fake accounts with note-prints, once the Ministry of Civil Affairs finds that the budget allocation of the host and guest departments in the fourth quarter will be affected.

The withdrawal of funds was affected. If it was placed in the first three seasons, it would not be a major event, but it was not possible in the fourth quarter.

Because the host and guest departments need to prepare one major event in the fourth quarter of each year, which is the annual grand ceremony.

The Great Dynasty Meeting is also known as the New Year's Day Dynasty Meeting, which is equivalent to wishing the emperor a happy new year.

The New Year's Day ceremony has existed as an important custom of the New Year since the Han Dynasty.

At the court meeting, the emperor wanted to "accept the books of the world and receive the gifts of all nations" and accept congratulations from all officials and ministers.

In the Tang Dynasty, holding a grand court meeting on the New Year was also a routine move, and the grand court meeting was a great ceremony among the five rites.

The people attending the court meeting included civil and military officials in the capital, court envoys from various states, guests from foreign countries, envoys from vassal states, and royal relatives.

On the New Year's Day, soldiers filled the streets, and their troops were listed as the Huangmao Grande Battle Tuen Mun and Chen Yu Temple, and the officials followed.

Then, the emperor ascended the imperial throne, the crown prince offered his birthday, the secretary of the Central Secretariat reported the filings of the states, the minister of the Yellow Gate reported the auspiciousness, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported the tribute to the states, the minister of the Ministry of Rites reported the filings, the grand historian reported the filings, the minister of the minister of the rituals, the minister of the minister of the Central Secretariat reported the filings, and the minister of the Central Secretariat reported the filings, and the minister of the Central Secretariat paid his birthday, and the palace was called for thousands of years.

Then there are various celebrations and performances.

Therefore, as an important occasion to show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor, the great dynasty must be arranged without any mistakes.

This work is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

It turns out that the preparations for the Grand Chancellor should start at the end of the third quarter.

But a month ago, Yang Fan, the Minister of Rites, was airborne directly, and this unexpected move disrupted Zhang Zhongye's deployment.

At that time, Zhang Zhongye wanted to use this big event to make things difficult for the new minister, but Yang Fan was delayed, so he delayed it.

Li Daozong forced the affairs of the host and guest office to Yang Fan to preside over. Of course, Zhang Zhongye was unhappy. He happened to have such a good opportunity, so he would not let it go.

As long as Yang Fan signs and prints the fake account, the Ministry of Civil Affairs fails to pass the review, and even if the account is re-executed, it will take at least one month to go back and forth.

Originally, the preparation for the Grand Chancellery this year was one month later than before, and if the funding was allocated another month.

It is really unknown whether the Grand Court can be held as scheduled. Even if it can be held in a hurry, there may be mistakes.

As the head of the party, Yang Fan had to take the blame, so the scene of Gu Bingcheng making fake accounts and asking Yang Fan to sign and print them.

Just now, Yang Fan was a little reluctant to Gu Bingcheng, thinking that he was just jealous of him, but unexpectedly he wanted to kill him.

These guys are so hateful that Yang Fan can't tolerate it.

You can't bully people like this. Business has business ways, and officials have official ways, and every industry has a tacit rule.

Today is the first day I took office, so I made a bottomless abyss for him to jump. It would be strange if Yang Fan was in a good mood.

If Yang Fan did not pay attention, and would delay or make mistakes in the dynasty, it would not be possible to make up for it simply by losing the official position.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan snorted coldly and kept the account in his heart and asked, "How much is the warehousing room of the host and guest department?"

Looking at Yang Fan who was in a state of uncertainty, Li Yifu said worriedly: "Oh, there is no surplus left in the warehouse? I still owe it now!"

"Why is this? Why don't you go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask for funds?" Yang Fan looked puzzled.

Li Yifu smiled bitterly and said, "How can you get this good? Besides, it is even more difficult to have the account reviewed now!"

At this time, I really didn't say that it was my master.

When Yang Fan heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, so he stood up and waved, "Let's go, follow me to the Civil Affairs Department..."

Li Yifu was speechless. What you said in the Ministry of Rites is still effective, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs... I really think the Ministry of Civil Affairs is its own family.

Do you really think you will give it to me as soon as you go? But Li Yi Mansion still follows closely.

The six ministries' yamen were concentrated in the imperial city, and there was no need to ride a horse and take a car. The civil servant compound was less than 500 meters to the right, and I walked over.

Li Yifu accelerated two steps to chase Yang Fan, with a little anxious expression and hesitated, "Sir, do you know who the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department is?"

"Why are we looking for the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Aren't we looking for the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Yang Fan asked while walking, not caring.

In Yang Fan's opinion, no matter who he is, we will go directly to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to know what the use of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is?

Besides, the Ministry of Civil Affairs owes the Ministry of Rites’ budget and goes out to ask for money openly. Are you still afraid of not giving it to me?

It really doesn't work. I can only get rid of Li Shimin's skin, so I don't believe that they dare to make things difficult for them after taking the leopard's courage.

"Master Yang, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs generally does not care about specific matters, and the Minister of Civil Affairs is responsible for the matter of withdrawing money..." Li Yifu slapped his head, and it turned out that his boss didn't know the role of the Minister, and he was a little amused and unable to cry.

Boss, can you still not adjust the amount? He came here until now without knowing who to ask for money?

Impulsive!

Yang Fan touched his nose and asked awkwardly: "Who is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

"It's Wei Ting, Lord Wei..." Li Yifu replied with a heavy expression.

"Wei Ting!"

Wei Ting's information flashed through his mind quickly, and Yang Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself and repeat it.

This person is somewhat famous. As the confidant of former crown prince Li Jiancheng, he was not only not punished after Li Shimin became emperor, but was instead valued.

The daughter married Li Shimin's son, Li You, King Qi, and was a royal relative. Even if Li You rebelled, Wei Ting was not implicated.

Why did he come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs now?

Wei Ting is obviously a smart person who can be like a fish in such a complex environment. The smarter the person is, the more scruples he has.

Moreover, Li You and Li Tai rebelled against Wei Ting in the future, and thought it was just for the benefit of their in-laws.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan looked happy: "So it's him, that's easy to deal with!"

Li Yifu was a little confused. Didn’t the boss hear it clearly?

Or do you not know the identity of this minister?

So I had to remind him again: "Uh, Lord Yang, Lord Wei is also the father-in-law of His Highness King Qi, and the chief historian of His Highness King Wei..."

Who doesn’t know what Yang Fan fought against King Qi Li You in the city of Chang’an?

Who doesn’t know that Yang Fan cheated Li Tai for more than one million Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River!

Now facing the father-in-law of the King of Qi, Wei Ting, the chief of the King of Wei's Mansion, is still good at doing things, and Yang Da is very kind of acquaintances.

However, Li Yifu admired Yang Fan's courage to keep his face unchanged.
