Chapter 64 Six Gates Established

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Qin Heng stepped out, holding up a memorial. In his heart, he really wanted to curse Shen Qingzhou, what a villain.

Yesterday, Shen Qingzhou finally gathered his subordinates and held a meeting. The benefits had already been received in the past few days, so of course Shen Qingzhou had to come out and accept everyone's praise for himself.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Revenue and said in public, "I need to report to the Ministry of Revenue when I go to court today. Go ahead and report. But you said you have never written a memorial and asked me for help."

But you said it in public, which is like putting me under fire. If you don't call my name, I will be quiet. If you call my name, I can still go to court. If I don't express my opinion, won't my brothers become estranged?

The Qin family can control most of the power of the Privy Council. One reason is Qin Ye’s power as the Privy Councilor, and the other is that they also win over these officials.

Now, Shen Qingzhou has become the Deputy Privy Councilor. Many people can see that Shen Qingzhou was pushed forward by Emperor Qing to share power, and there are many people who want to get to the top.

Fortunately, during this period, Shen Qingzhou did not act rashly and was busy with his Six Doors. He thought it was enough to keep it like this, and the North House and the Support Office were the most important departments with real power.

But who could have thought that he actually achieved some results? I don't know where he gathered those people from, but they were all good fighters, and they broke through the bandits' stronghold so quickly. That would have been fine, but he also came up with a donation routine.

Moreover, some of the petty officials in their north office and the supporting office were obviously restless. For them, this kind of tangible benefit was the only real thing.

Qin Heng was named and could only swear that he would also make a report. Shen Qingzhou did it on purpose. Although they knew each other before, it did not mean that he could not threaten him. The Qin family did help him, but that was after he showed his value.

The subsequent drinking from the vast sea was entirely my own credit. Now you are suspected of undermining me, and I have already been considerate enough by not touching you.

"explain."

“I want to report to the Ministry of Revenue, intending to target my Privy Council department for failing to pay salaries on time, causing complaints from colleagues.

Moreover, this matter has a bad influence. It has spread outside Kyoto and many people know about it. This matter is extremely bad and affects the reputation of the officials of our Qing Kingdom.

What will the people think of our Qing Kingdom? Is it so weak that it can't even pay salaries? "Qin Heng was calm. He had already made arrangements in advance. If you are not prepared, you can't blame me.

The Qin family is also a prominent family and is aware of the conflict between Shen Qingzhou and the Fan family, but they just play both sides, it's that simple.

"Is this true?" Emperor Qing said, and this matter finally had to be made public.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the matter against the Privy Council is completely false. This period of time is the time when the salaries of officials from various departments are paid. There are so many people, and our Ministry of Revenue is also very cautious. We dare not make a single mistake in calculation. Even at this time, the salaries have not been fully paid, so how can it be said to be targeted.

What's more, there is a reason why my Ministry of Revenue has not paid the salaries of some officials of the Privy Council. My clerks in the Ministry of Revenue reported that some people in the Privy Council called themselves the Six Gates when chatting. My Ministry of Revenue has never heard of this department. When they received the salary, they said they were from the Guangxi House. My clerks in the Ministry of Revenue were confused and dared not pay the salary. We also plan to investigate it clearly before reporting to His Majesty.

We, the Ministry of Revenue, have made a thorough investigation and finally learned that the Six Gates were originally owned by the Guangxi House. We do not know why they suddenly changed their name, and we are about to report this to Your Majesty."

This is just a war of words, which is of no use. The other party has many reasons. It's not that they don't want to send it. It can't be sent later. However, the counterattack is quite sharp.

"Six Gates, there is such a department in my court? Marquis Shenwu, what do you think?" Emperor Qing said deliberately. "Your Majesty, there are three gates from the main gate of the Privy Council to the Guangxi Office. Every time I have to pass through the Six Gates to get to the office, so there is this funny name. Maybe my brothers have heard me talk too much and think it's interesting, so they call it that too." Shen Qingzhou came out.

"I see. How about I change the name of Guangxi House to Liushenmen and make it independent?" Emperor Qing was about to start knocking.

Strictly speaking, this matter is nothing, but since it has been brought out, it must be criticized, not because of this matter, but because of the Ministry of Personnel.

The Supervisory Office monitors the world for him. During this period, Shen Qingzhou's group of released detectives frightened him. They were all masters. Where did you gather so many people from? Could it be that the Queen's family had a backup plan, which was activated by Shen Qingzhou?

This was before he knew that they were all of the eighth rank. If he had known, he would have been unable to sit still. It can only be said that there are indeed not many decent masters in the martial arts world. That's right, if someone can reach the eighth rank, why would he become a bandit?

"Your Majesty's words are golden. Thank you for your grace." Shen Qingzhou's words shocked the entire court. Brother, this is ironic. Your Majesty should listen to your four words "I am terrified", not this reaction.

You shouldn't be unable to hear it, this is already very obvious, Shen Qingzhou could naturally hear it, but he just wanted to take advantage of the situation to back off.

Moreover, since he had said this to thank His Majesty for the gift, even if Emperor Qing did not mean that, he had to admit the matter. Just like Shen Qingzhou said, his words were golden.

Most people would definitely panic and think that this matter would not count. In fact, many people can do this kind of thing to get rewards, but no one does this. Aren’t you afraid of being retaliated against in the future?

"Okay, Marquis Shenwu is worthy of being a young hero. I will grant you the power of the Six Gates to arrest thieves and criminals, and to deal with disputes in the martial arts world. You can set up your own government office with the original team of Guangxi Fang." Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes and said.

He was a little disappointed. He didn't expect Shen Qingzhou to be such a person without political wisdom. Did he think that it was smart to be so clever and block his words?

He misunderstood Shen Qingzhou. Shen Qingzhou simply felt that he was capable of receiving this reward. He was invincible at the ninth level. Unless Emperor Qing exposed his identity as a grandmaster, he was not afraid of anyone. Would he dare to expose it? If he did, his plan would completely fail.

Si Gu Jian and Ku He both have to kill him first. The emperor being a grandmaster and Hong Sixiang being the grandmaster are not the same concept.

Moreover, he had made great contributions and had just conquered a large territory. If Emperor Qing killed him, how would people in the world view him? The fight between the monarch and his subjects was not entirely based on force.

During this period, he was doing pretty well in Kyoto and it seemed that he had nothing to fear from anyone. Otherwise, he would not have spoken so rudely to Liu Ruyu.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible. The border of Qing Kingdom has cost a lot. We, the officials at all levels, and the disaster in Dingzhou are all short of manpower and money. We really cannot raise the funds to open a government office in Liushenmen." Fan Jian came out.

"Marquis Shenwu, what's the matter?" Emperor Qing had no intention of setting up this department, and had not even mentioned the department's hierarchy. Now, someone came out and handed him a knife.

"Your Majesty, my Six Gates can be responsible for their own profits and losses, reducing the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue. I also know that officials cannot do business, but they can raise funds from the people."

"How dare you, Marquis Shenwu, do you want to force the people to pay their hard-earned money?"

"Minister Fan, you are overthinking. This is absolutely voluntary. If the Ministry of Revenue is interested, you can come and see us at any time."
