The sixth-rank minor official was holding back a frustration, wanting to find trouble with Chu Heng, but didn’t dare.
As he hesitated, Chu Heng somehow had already stood beside him.
"Lord Zhao, is there something? Shall we go in together?" Chu Heng’s voice was too natural, as if entering the Ministry of War was no different from entering the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhao Yixiao was arranged to give Chu Heng a bit of a slap in the face.
As a result, now the person acts as if entering his own yamen.
Zhao Yixiao forced a cough, raised his face, seemingly smiling, but truly in a dilemma: "Lord Chu, you arrived suddenly, the yamen has not yet transitioned, please first hand over the documents to me, I will arrange for someone to set things up over here?"
"Then where should I go now?" Chu Heng asked calmly, seemingly not hearing the underlying trouble Zhao Yixiao was meaning to cause.
Zhao Yixiao squeezed out a polite smile: "My lord, please wait a bit in the tea room next to us."
This kind of tactic to put someone on hold is very mon.
It’s just no one ever dared use it in front of Chu Heng.
In the past, it was fear of offending him.
Now, he was just transferred from the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of War.
Chu Heng experienced this scenario.
Chu Heng showed a semi-smile: "Lord Zhao, I must trouble you then, but I am here today merely to report my presence, after all, a change of yamen requires checking in."
"Then go handle it."
He nodded with a smile, prepared to walk inside with the King of Huainan.
Zhao Yixiao watched as he entered the yamen, instead of the tea room next to it.
He wanted to step up to stop him again, but for some unknown reason, seeing his unyielding and posed back, he refrained.
Hesitating like this, he missed the best opportunity, watching Chu Heng and the King of Huainan walk off.
"I’m really stupid, am I making it hard for him, or hard for myself." Zhao Yixiao ran off to report to Minister Xiang.
Meanwhile.
The King of Huainan chuckled: "Didn’t expect one day to see Lord Chu being troubled."
"It’s just because the transfer was too sudden." Chu Heng responded lightly, like an unaffected person.
The King of Huainan couldn’t help but laugh heartily: "Lord Chu is right, this petty thinking, playing it out is truly embarrassing, with so much energy, it’d be better to face more enemies on the battlefield."
"The Prince is correct, soldiers not training lose their valor, how then can we talk about defending the nation." Chu Heng agreed with a nod.
Upon hearing this, the King of Huainan rarely felt the same way, and began discussing life at the border with Chu Heng, where others believed he wielded military power and lived a good life.
Little did they know, the soldiers lived a life licking blood off the knife edge, without soldiers fighting desperately on the frontline, there would be no rear, no capital’s extravagant days like these.
Chu Heng took the King of Huainan to handle official business first.
His transfer hadn’t even been pletely negotiated, but it’s only procedural minutiae, after all Chu Heng’s transfer is an Imperial Decree.
People of the Ministry of War, even if dissatisfied, dare not attack Chu Heng on this point directly.
"Chu Heng actually has such a good relationship with the King of Huainan?"
There were quite a few officials in the yamen of the Ministry of War today.
Also, there were several officials peting for the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War position, among which Hu family, relatives of the Minister of War, Second Master Hu was most petitive.
Hu Hua also trained in the military camp when he was young, earning some minor military merits, relying on the Hu family to return to the capital, entering the Ministry of War, now at thirty-eight, approaching his forties.
At this age, being able to reach the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War position, is quite mendable.
