Chapter 207 Oh wow, a little follower disguised as a man
Half an hour later, at Li Mansion.
Li Rongdun had a gloomy face as he watched the imperial physician invited from the palace bandage the wound on his grandson's leg.
Seeing that the imperial physician had stood up, Li Rongdun hurriedly asked, "When will my grandson be able to recover?"
Before the other party could answer, Li Yuhao, who was lying on the bed, had already sat up.
He said to Li Rongdun, "Grandpa, it's just a minor injury."
"My grandson only needs to take a healing pill and apply some muscle-growing powder. He will be able to get out of bed and walk in less than three to five days."
Li Rongdun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked the housekeeper to send the imperial physician away.
The grandfather and grandson started chatting privately in the room.
After learning the whole story, Li Rongdun slammed his hand on the table with a "bang".
He didn't know any martial arts, and the hard mahogany table made his palms numb and painful.
Li Rongdun grabbed a teacup and threw it to the ground, saying viciously, "This Han Erlang cannot be kept!"
"The reason why this person is so valued by the Empress is probably because he took a shortcut."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuhao quickly asked, "Grandpa, what shortcut did he take?"
Li Rongdun sighed and said, "This Han Erlang looks very similar to the deceased Han Zhuo."
"If I hadn't already confirmed that Han Zhuo died at the hands of the Third Prince, I would have even thought that he was Han Zhuo in disguise."
When Li Yuhao heard that it was the Third Prince who took action, his doubts were immediately swept away and he spoke very firmly.
"Grandpa, since this is the Third Prince's doing, Han Zhuo will definitely die!"
"Obviously, this Han Erlang deliberately dressed himself up to look like Han Zhuo in order to seduce the Empress."
Li Rongdun nodded repeatedly: "My son is right. This person is insidious and cunning, with evil intentions. He must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Li Yuhao's eyes turned slightly at this time, and he said to Li Rongdun: "Grandpa, my grandson has been unable to get out of bed these days, and there is no way for him to go to see the empress in such a state."
"Why don't I let my grandson plan for Grandpa and handle the affairs of Han Erlang?"
Li Rongdun looked at Li Yuhao with a smile and said, "My son, have you come up with a good idea?"
Having said that, a hideous and sinister sneer involuntarily appeared on Li Yuhao's face.
He said, "Since Han Erlang has been appointed Minister of Works by the Empress, we should leave him without any troops or generals to deploy."
"If this continues, within a few days, his position as Minister will be unstable, and he will naturally lose the favor of the Empress."
"By then, Grandpa only needs to raise his arm and call, and Han Erlang can be easily dealt with."
After hearing this, Li Rongdun laughed heartily and said, "My son, this is a good plan. In that case, then let's do as my son says."
"First, make your Empress feel disgusted with Han Erlang, and then kill him in one fell swoop."
"This way, we can serve as a warning to the officials of the imperial court!"
After all, Li Rongdun has been active in the officialdom of Xuanyuan State for many years and is extremely efficient in his work.
But after just a few orders, all the officials in the Ministry of Industry went on strike soon.
When Han Zhuo, riding a maroon horse, had just arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Works and was about to dismount.
The two guards at the gate stepped forward quickly.
One of them, puffing out his chest, shouted, "Who are you? Don't you know this is the Ministry of Works?"
Han Zhuo was about to speak when another guard beside him glanced at him and saw a token on his waist.
The guard reacted quickly and gently pushed his partner next to him.
Then, he said to Han Zhuo with a smile, "Is this Shangguan the newly appointed Minister of Works?"
Han Zhuo saw that this person reacted quite quickly and couldn't help but look at him again.
This person was smiling widely. When facing Han Zhuo, he didn't act servile or fawning, but at least he didn't show any fawning or obsequious attitude, so he wasn't unpleasant to look at.
When Han Zhuo looked at this person carefully again, he suddenly discovered.
Oh my, this is a girl!
It's just a woman dressed as a man!
Han Zhuo nodded, took out the token from his waist and threw it to the guard.
She quickly took it with both hands, looked at it respectfully, and immediately exclaimed, "Oh!" "So it really is Minister Han."
When she spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice so that it sounded somewhat neutral.
However, if you look carefully, you can still determine her true gender.
However, for a small person like her, no one would pay attention to her or care about her existence on a normal day.
Therefore, even if she disguised herself as a man and worked at the Ministry of Works, few people would know about it.
Han Zhuo did not expose her identity, nor did he deliberately create a condescending attitude. Instead, he jumped off the horse.
He was a head taller than the two men, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Why is the Ministry of Works closed in broad daylight?"
The guard disguised as a man respectfully handed the token back to Han Zhuo and said.
"To Minister Han, it's because the gentlemen in the Ministry of Works seem to have received some orders and have all asked for leave to go back."
"Some said they were not feeling well, some said relatives were visiting, and some simply went to the brothels in Yihongyuan and Yixiangyuan to have fun."
"In short, no one in the Ministry of Works is working right now."
Although the guard was slightly bent over while speaking, her eyes were fixed on Han Zhuo.
She found that Han Zhuo was not as frustrated and angry as she had imagined. Instead, he had a smile on his face.
Just as she was wondering what was so funny about Han Zhuo, she heard Han Zhuo ask her, "What's your name?"
The guard quickly said, "Minister Han, it is fate that I owe you a debt of gratitude. My surname is also Han, and my name is Han Sijin."
Han Zhuo smiled and put his hand on Han Sijin's shoulder, patted him gently, and said with a smile: "You are good and smart. It's a pity to be guarding the gate here."
"I'm currently short of an assistant, so please take over for a while."
An assistant is similar to a secretary, and his job is to run errands and do odd jobs.
Han Zhuo is the Minister of Works. He is the most powerful person under the Shangshu!
Being his secretary makes you hold your head high and your chest out even more than being a clerk!
Han Sijin was patted by Han Zhuo's thug, and suddenly he felt a burning sensation on his shoulder!
She discovered that this man, who relied on the empress to reach the throne, seemed particularly hot, like a huge furnace.
At the same time, Han Sijin's brows lit up when he heard Han Zhuo's words. He quickly bowed to Han Zhuo and said, "Thank you very much, Minister Han, for your cultivation."
"I will definitely not let Minister Han down."
Han Zhuo smiled and said, "Since you said you would live up to my expectations, let me ask you a question."
"I just took office, and these gentlemen from the Ministry of Industry are giving me a cold shoulder, putting on airs, trying to embarrass me, and trying to squeeze me out all at once. What can you do?"
