Chapter 1166 The Hu brothers

"You can still shout in such a situation, which shows that you are really anxious."

Li Chen looked at Zhangguan Tong, and after Tanmo said that, he raised his leg and kicked him to the ground with his back.

Looking down at Zhangguan Tong from a high place, Li Chen sneered: "I really want to see who is so powerful. Just by saying his name, we will all die?"

"Liu Sichun, say, who is the sacred place of the Hu family?"

Liu Sichun no longer hesitated and said directly: "Hu Pi, the former Minister of Rites who had just been promoted to the confidential minister of Menxia Province."

As soon as this statement came out, the rice shop inside and outside became quiet instantly.

Everyone closed their mouths and said nothing.

The shopkeeper Tong, who was lying on the ground, looked at Li Chen with pleasure, as if he was looking forward to seeing the expression of fear and regret on Li Chen's face.

However, he did not see Li Chen's reaction at all.

It was like a stone was thrown into a deep abyss. Manager Tong thought it would cause huge waves, but the abyss didn't even have a splash of water.

Menxia Province has four confidential minister positions, and they are second-rank senior officials. In Li Chen's design, this confidential minister position can have real power or a false title. Everything depends on the national conditions at that time and the monarch's control over the power of subordinate ministers.

Now, Hu Pi is the first to be identified after the new policy, which proves that Li Chen intends to use these positions to exchange for the elderly old ministers in the court to retire with peace of mind.

The Minister of Personnel is an extremely important position. At that time, Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji fought fiercely for this position, and no one could compromise. So they took a step back and let Hu Pi, who was a third party, be the Minister of Personnel.

This is not only about Hu Pi's relatively neutral political stance, but also about Hu Pi's older age and he will not be able to be the Minister of Personnel for a long time. He will be able to retire after a while.

Originally, with Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji's battle, Hu Pi should have retreated, but at this critical moment, something went wrong.

"Hu Pi is so old that he still has this trick?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked Chen Tong, "What's going on with the Hu family?"

Liu Sichun may be familiar with the environment, but if it really involves intelligence, he still needs to ask Chen Tong.

The same is true: professional things need to be done by professionals.

Chen Tong answered as if he had known each other: "Hu Pi had three sons and two daughters, the eldest son and the youngest daughter died young, the second son was Hu Ganwei, and the third son was Hu Gandang. They all started a family and started a business. Among them, Hu Ganwei got most of the land of the Hu family, while Hu Gandang had been taking the exam. In the last scientific examination, he got 15 Jinshi and was arranged to be a Tongzheng envoy. The other daughter was married, and there were fewer contacts than the Hu family."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Tong lowered his voice and said, "Hu Ganwei and Hu Gan are brothers. They have some methods. They have a good reputation among the Eastern Palace faction, but these are all the following things and rarely come to the ears of His Highness."

Li Chen understood as soon as he heard it.

A fifteen-year-old Jinshi is indeed considered to be a fame, but such fame is difficult to be an editor at the Hanlin Academy, let alone a real-life department like Tongzheng and Envoy Department, there must be Hu Pi's shadow in it.
