For Hu Fei, he has been living a good life. As for the news from the court, it has some impact on him.

After all, businessmen are quick-witted and have more ideas. If they weren't sure, they wouldn't have participated.

So there have been so many debates in the court during this period, and these businessmen are not so active. They are so polite and polite on the surface, and they agree well, but they just don’t take any practical actions.

Hu Fei knew very well about their operations, but nothing more than being able to offend anyone and drag it on.

Hu Fei naturally had no good idea for such things. The reason was very simple. He could not force the businessmen to make choices, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

Hu Fei has been a businessman for so many years. He knows very well what the businessman thinks. In such a situation, all he can do is wait.

However, Hu Fei also knew that this would not last long, because His Majesty was dealing with the whole thing, and it was His Majesty who told him to do this matter, so it was impossible for him to stop because of these things.

"Sir," his subordinate walked to Hu Fei and said respectfully, "The father-in-law is here."

Regarding Zhang Guoji's arrival, Hu Fei did not show any strange expression on his face.

In fact, Hu Fei has been waiting for Zhang Guoji's arrival because this matter will eventually fall on his immediate boss.

Now that Zhang Guoji has come to the door, it seems that he has already arranged it. Although he doesn't know how it is done, he has already received the news and asked him to wait. Now it seems that he has waited for it.

"Then go out to welcome our father-in-law." Hu Fei stood up and said with a smile on his face.

After saying this, he walked out briskly.

When he arrived at the hall, Hu Fei saw Zhang Guoji sitting at a glance.

He quickly walked up, bowed to Zhang Guoji, with a bright smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "Secretary of the State Council, I don't know if the father-in-law comes to Xiaguan today, what are the instructions?"

"No matter what order is there, the father-in-law sends someone to pass it all over. The subordinates must go there immediately. Why bother with the father-in-law coming here in person!" Hu Fei said very politely, his tone was very sincere, and his attitude was very sincere. He could not tell that he was telling lies at all. He felt that this was his true words.

Zhang Guoji waved his hand, leaned back, and said with a smile: "Although we are superiors and subordinates, we all work in the same yamen, and we do things for His Majesty. There is no need to make these false things. Let's get close to you."

Although this sentence seems to be close, the tone is like official words, but it seems even more alienated.

Hu Fei felt a little helpless.

Our father-in-law really doesn't have the talent to be an official. In this tone, people often feel arrogant and inconsistent with what he said.

If you don’t say these words, it’s no big deal to be arrogant. After all, you are a boss and a father-in-law. Your status is so noble, and no one will say anything when you are arrogant.

Whatever you really say is often only those who are jealous, so it is not a very important thing.

On the contrary, your lofty attitude and approachable words are really hypocritical and particularly offensive.

However, Hu Fei showed no sign of his face, which was not difficult for him at all. He quickly said, "It is really a privilege to be the subordinate of the official. It is impossible to say that no matter what the principal of the country has ordered, the subordinate of the official will do his best to do it and will never disappoint the principal."

Looking at Hu Fei with a sincere face, Zhang Guoji nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that my ability is still good, at least in terms of respect for the wise and the wise, I have done a very good job. As expected, I have shown enough courtesy and respect, and my subordinates have shown their loyalty. Maybe it is not as Mr. Qin said?

Although he had such an idea in his mind, Zhang Guoji still retained his last bit of soberness and did not do so. Instead, he said directly: "It's not that you were asked to do something, I came here because I wanted to ask you something."

"Please speak for your father-in-law." Hu Fei said hurriedly.

"I heard that you have encountered some trouble recently. It seems that things are not going well. Someone in the court is impeaching you?" Zhang Guoji looked at Hu Fei and asked with a smile on his face.

"So this is the matter, don't mention it." Hu Fei said helplessly: "Originally, the Xiaguan wanted to use the audit department to do something for His Majesty, one was to be loyal to His Majesty; the other was to make some contributions. After all, the Xiaguan had just arrived at the Office of the Internal Affairs and did nothing, and he was dissatisfied with it."

"But who thought that they were so opposed to this, and those merchants were afraid of it. Now they were all hiding far away. Before the court reached a conclusion, this matter would not work, and I don't know what would happen in the end. If the court agreed with those people's statements, I probably wouldn't be able to continue as an official."

Speaking of this, Hu Fei sighed, his face full of frowning.

Zhang Guoji looked at Hu Fei and felt very happy. Hu Fei was indeed losing his temper.

This is a good opportunity to win people's hearts over this time. As long as you start, you will definitely be able to take him under your command.

So Zhang Guoji said, "This is your fault."

Hu Fei was stunned, looked up at Zhang Guoji, and said hesitantly: "The official is a little confused, so I would like to ask the father-in-law for advice."

"You also know that you are an official of the Office of the Interior, so your affairs are naturally the affairs of the Office of the Interior. The Office of the Interior is now under my jurisdiction, so this is naturally my affairs. Why don't you discuss such a thing with me in advance? Why don't you come here after something happened?"

When Zhang Guoji saw Hu Fei, he asked with a calm face: "Do you think I am not qualified to be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Hearing Zhang Guoji's words, Hu Fei stood up from the chair and said bitterly: "Best-in-law, you are wronged by me. This is not that I didn't discuss it with you in advance, and I have no choice."

"The Xiaguan first arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was really unsure. What did Xiaguan do before? I believe you know that the father-in-law suddenly came to a high position, and the Xiaguan felt guilty!"

"So I thought about making some achievements first and let everyone take a good look. But whoever thought that things would turn out like this would make the lower official feel even more ashamed.

"After the matter is done, the officials will definitely ask the father-in-law to report the good news. But now that things are like this, how dare the official find the father-in-law? If the matter is involved in the father-in-law, the official will be punished and died."

Listening to Hu Fei's explanation, Zhang Guoji's expression slightly eased. He looked at Hu Fei and said with a smile: "In this way, you can't blame you for this matter. You just arrived at the Office of the Internal Affairs and did not understand the situation."

"Since I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I should do everything in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you should give me the information as soon as possible. It seems that you are a newcomer to the officialdom and have no experience, so I will teach you." Zhang Guoji said with a smile.

In Zhang Guoji's opinion, Hu Fei is really a novice in the officialdom and a newcomer. He can do business on weekdays, but he really can't be an official. Obviously, he reads little books by sages. I don't know how a person like him came to the Interior Office.

But it doesn't matter, such people are easy to control. Look, will you immediately join your own command?

So Zhang Guoji began to explain to Hu Fei the way of being an official in the officialdom. This statement lasted half an hour, and it could be said that he was talking endlessly, such as teaching him how to get along with his boss and how to be the same as his colleagues. The classics say that it is so clear.

Hu Fei listened very seriously on the side and praised him from time to time. The expressions on his face were very well coordinated, and voices expressing various mentalities, such as marveling, marveling, or even stunning.

This flattery made Zhang Guoji very satisfied.

At the end, Zhang Guoji took a sip of tea and was still a little unfulfilled.

"Although you have just entered the officialdom, you can see that you are quite talented. In the future, I will come to teach you more, and you will understand what to do in your heart." Zhang Guoji looked at Hu Fei, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"I am grateful to the father-in-law for his teachings. I will ask the father-in-law for his advice in the future." Hu Fei quickly stood up and bowed and said. His tone was very sincere and sincere.

"Okay, let me leave this matter." Zhang Guoji said with a smile: "I'll go into the palace and ask His Majesty what his attitude is."

As he said that, Zhang Guoji glanced at Hu Fei and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to say good things to you."

"Then I will thank the father-in-law first." Hu Fei said quickly.

When Hu Fei respectfully sent Zhang Guoji out, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

He raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks hard. He had been laughing for too long and his smile was frozen.

Hu Fei walked to the table and picked up the teapot, poured tea into his stomach. He said too much, and he was really dry-mouthed.

After drinking the water, Hu Fei smiled bitterly.

What's this called?

Who would have thought that this father-in-law actually had the problem of being a good teacher?

If I really work as an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get the favor of my superiors, I will definitely wake up in my dreams with a smile.

Besides, this person is still the father-in-law, and this is a thigh shining with golden light, so I must have hugged him without hesitation.

But this is not the case. I came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do my own business, and I cannot get too close to the father-in-law.

The key problem is that I don’t dare to get too close. After all, this father-in-law doesn’t look so close to four or six.

I can't compare with my father-in-law. The other person's daughter is the queen. No matter how hard it is, there will be nothing in the end. But I am different. If I follow my father-in-law, if something really happens, I will not be able to escape.

Many people will consider that the other party is the father-in-law, but they will not care about themselves. So Hu Fei had no choice but to keep a distance from the father-in-law.

But seeing this is what it is now, it is probably impossible to do it. Thinking of this, Hu Fei could only smile helplessly.

But I had to sigh in my heart how important it is to have a good daughter. Look at this father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is not a fool, he is definitely not suitable to be in charge of a government office like the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But he is in this position, what can you do?

However, Hu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. With the father-in-law participating, this matter was done.

After leaving Hu Fei, Zhang Guoji was in a good mood. He did not return to his own office, but went directly to Xiyuan.

He got a token a few days ago and could go to the palace to see his daughter at any time. From this point of view, you can see how much His Majesty loves the Pearl.

After unobstructed all the way to Xiyuan, Zhang Guoji found that the scenery and atmosphere here were completely different from those in the palace, and they all looked comfortable.

When I saw my daughter, I was not in the palace, but in the pavilion by the lake. The breeze blows gently and the plants and trees smell fragrant. Looking at the rippling water on the lake surface makes people feel happy.

Walking to Queen Zhang, Zhang Guoji bowed and said, "I will meet the Queen."

Seeing his father saluting like this, Queen Zhang quickly stood up and said coquettishly: "Father, what are you doing? Okay, come and chat with her daughter."

Zhang Guoji also walked over with a smile. The father and daughter sat in the pavilion, drinking tea, chatting, and talking about some family affairs.

Queen Zhang listened very seriously. Although she lived a good life in the palace and the emperor loved her very much, she was still young after all, and she just got married and still missed her family very much.

Just like a wanderer who is studying away from home, Queen Zhang is very happy now listening to her father saying these things.

On the other side of Xiyuan, Zhu Youxiao was lying on a rocking chair, covered with a palm-leaf fan on his face, and squinted his eyes while resting.

Accompanied by the warm wind and the warm sunshine, this feeling is really too lazy.

Chen Hong walked to his side carefully and said in a low and respectful voice: "The emperor, the father-in-law has entered the palace."

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, but waved his hand gently to signal that he knew.

He bent and retreated aside, and Chen Hong stopped talking.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that this father-in-law would come so quickly. It seems that he is really impatient.

But this is also a good thing, at least I can finish the work soon.

The chat between Zhang Guoji and the Queen continued. After chatting about homework, Zhang Guoji turned the topic to the royal business.

"Daughter, has your Majesty told you what to do?"
To be continued...
