: Bamboo basket is empty

The Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Heavenly Qi Palace.

At this moment, the morning court had just ended, and two or three people were chatting and walking, each chatting, preparing to go back to their respective government offices to do the job.

I used to not talk about what happened in the morning court today. Now the emperor's mind is unpredictable, so it is better to sweep the snow in front of his own door.

Dugu Ziyan also walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, saw Prince Yu in front of him, walked forward, bowed and said, "Ziyan has seen the prince."

Prince Yu smiled slightly, replied with a tribute, and said, "It turns out it is the prince of Wending Hou. I wonder if Wending Hou is getting better now?"

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied, "Thank you for your concern. My father's health has been much better."

Prince Yu nodded and said, "It's good that way. Marquis Wending is the emperor's loyal minister. Now he has been ill and cannot attend court. It's a pity."

Dugu Ziyan replied with a shallow smile: "Prince, my father also hopes to serve the court and be loyal to the emperor. Unfortunately, he is old and suddenly loses his beloved daughter, so he will be exhausted."

Prince Yu replied: "Yes, once a person gets older, he wants to be smooth in his children. Now he is really sad. You should comfort him more, then prince."

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied, "Thank you, Prince, Ziyan understands."

"Then I will leave first." Prince Yu nodded and turned around and left.

Dugu Ziyan bowed and bowed: "Give me a greeting to the prince."

As he said that, Jiang Peiyuanyi walked out of the hall, looked up, walked forward, bowed and said, "Classic Prince Wending."

Dugu Ziyan, who was about to leave, turned around and looked back, and replied: "Prime Minister Jiang."

At this moment, Su Mingyuan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came over and bowed and said, "I have met the prince, the prince of Wending."

Dugu Ziyan smiled and said, "Mr. Su must have something important to find Prime Minister Jiang, so I won't bother you, so I will leave first."

As he said that, he nodded and returned the favor to Jiang Peiyuan, turned around and left.

Looking at the figure that was gone, Jiang Peiyuan smiled helplessly... Dugu Ziyan really didn't mix everything up and was always so unique.

Su Mingyuan beside him bowed again and said, "Prime Minister Jiang."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Peiyuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Mingyuan and replied: "Mr. Su, it's time to go back to the government office after the court is out. Are you?"

Su Mingyuan bowed again and asked, "Prime Minister Jiang, it's a little difficult for the officials. I would like to ask for advice. I hope the Prime Minister will give you advice."

Jiang Peiyuan smiled and replied, "Oh, Lord Su tell me."

Su Mingyuan said again: "Prime Minister Jiang, this morning, the emperor arranged this job for the minister. The minister was dull and didn't know what to do for a moment, so it would be more appropriate?"

Jiang Peiyuan smiled and replied, "Mr. Su, the emperor must be interested in arranging errands for you. Lord. Su is cautious and careful in doing things."

"Mr. Su, since the errand has come down, you can do it according to the regulations of the court."

“According to the rules, you can never be wrong.”

"No matter who does the job, he will eventually serve the court and share the worries of the emperor. Do you think this is the case?"

Su Mingyuan was stunned and then replied quickly: "Thank you, Prime Minister Jiang, I understand."

Jiang Peiyuan smiled and said, "I have official duties to do, so I will leave first."

As he said that, he turned around and left.

Su Mingyuan, who was standing there, stared blankly at the figure that was leaving, and then looked at the other side, Zhao Yukun, the Minister of Personnel who was already leaving.

At this moment, Su Mingyuan had doubts and thoughts in his eyes... According to the rules, it would never be wrong? Jiang Peiyuan's meaning is to ask me to do things carefully and not let Zhao Yukun catch the handle?

Moyuan, study room.

Qingyu walked in and bowed and replied, "Master, the news from Mu Chen."

Mo Yi took the letter and looked down.

Qingyu hurriedly turned around and retreated, smiling in his eyes... The master finally coaxed the eldest lady. He had to leave more space to be alone for them.

Looking at Qingyu who was leaving hurriedly, Xiao Jinxi was stunned and said, "Mo Yi, what's wrong with Qingyu? He runs so fast every time now."

Mo Yi smiled and said, "Xi'er, don't pay attention to him. Come and take a look at this."

"Sometimes ago, Zhao Yukun took a leave of absence due to illness for a few days. But he never thought that today, Emperor Mingxi actually divided his power on the grounds that the Minister of Personnel was in poor health and should not be too hard."

Xiao Jinxi took the letter in confusion, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, Emperor Mingxi actually gave Su Mingyuan the assistant responsibility of the imperial examination next year."

"It seems that Emperor Mingxi is quite dissatisfied with Zhao Yukun now."

Mo Yi smiled and continued: "The imperial examination affairs are managed by the Ministry of Rites, but the Minister of Personnel has always been responsible for the assistant."

"Although it is the responsibility of the assistant minister, it is also involved in the selection of the imperial examinations. The convenience here is self-evident."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Well, that's right. In the early days of the founding of the Tianqi Dynasty, the Ministry of Personnel was the head of the imperial examination."

"But later, due to excessive concentration of power in the Ministry of Personnel, they began to abuse their power, and the trend of favoritism and fraud was serious."

"After being investigated and punished later, the authority was transferred to the Ministry of Rites."

"But the Ministry of Personnel still bears the responsibility of assistant management. Although it is the responsibility of assistant management, the dragon sons who fought for the throne in the past dynasties have also attached great importance to this point. And people in the officialdom do not dare to underestimate this point."

"But now, Emperor Mingxi has given this assistant authority to Su Mingyuan."

"Does Emperor Mingxi want to praise Concubine Su in this move? Or do you want to whip Zhao Yukun?"

Mo Yi smiled and said, "These Shangshu are all left by Emperor Zongyuan during the dynasty. It seems that Emperor Mingxi is beginning to cultivate his own people."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Well, that's right. At present, this is what it means."

"Zhao Yukun was diligent in pleasing Emperor Mingxi, and he did not hesitate to ask his daughter to inquire about the news about the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion again and again."

"But now, it's a waste of money. It seems that he should be anxious again."

Mo Yi smiled and replied, "That Xier, you have to let Chu Yi look forward to the mansion. Don't let them have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and replied: "That's right. It's the reminder."

Mo Yi said: "If Xier needs manpower, you can ask Qingfeng to arrange it."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and said, "No need yet."

"Zhao Yukun repeatedly hit a wall in the Marquis of Wu'an. I guess he could guess Zhao Zhishan's thoughts. Maybe he would think of other solutions."

Mo Yi nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll follow Xi'er's arrangement."

As he said that, he took Xiao Jinxi's hand and said, "Xi'er, let's go for a meal."

As he said that, he had already led the woman out of the study and continued, "Xi'er, the kitchen has made a lot of food you like today. Let's ignore those things and have a good meal first."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head helplessly and replied: "When I go back today, I will be nagged by Luoer again."

"She always said that the nanny cooked a lot of dishes every day. But we didn't go back to eat, and she couldn't finish it."

Mo Yi smiled and replied, "It's okay, Luo'er can't finish it, just let Wei Mo eat with her."

When Xiao Jinxi heard this, she smiled and replied: "Well, it makes sense. Then I will tell her next time."
