Wang Jun's face also became a little ugly.

He understood the reason why Zhan Zishan resigned and begged for his bones.

Because the Li family was wiped out in Taiping, these people just tried it a little bit. At that time, His Majesty showed a tough attitude.

Zhan Zishan saw the matter clearly, so he took the initiative to use his position as Bachelor of Wenhua Palace and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to shoulder the blame for all those who were impeached at that time.

Wang Jun whispered hesitantly: "Then from now on, how...how should we gain a foothold in this court?"

Yu Xin turned to look at Wang Jun, with a strange smile on his face: "As long as you treat Zhang Ergong and others with kindness, you will be fine..."

After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Wang Jun to speak.

Then he smiled sarcastically, shook his head and said, "I think you don't want to come either."

Wang Jun was probably seen through the unspoken thoughts in his heart. Even though he had been an official for many years, his face was still slightly red, and he couldn't help but look away subconsciously.

Wang Jun muttered: "It's time to get down to business."

Yu Xin hummed twice: "Then continue to do what I did today. Although I can't be as high-ranking as Yuan Sutai, wearing a crane and red robe, I won't be noticed by His Majesty."

"You want me to be a flattering minister in front of His Majesty?" Wang Jun turned around sharply and looked at Yu Xin with wide eyes: "Have you forgotten what His Majesty said today? I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the blame next time. ”

Yu Xin was scolded as a flattering minister, but he was not angry.

He just smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Brother Wang, you are really... I mean, from now on, when I become an official in the court, I will just be a nodding quail. It is difficult to violate the holy will and the holy mandate. You and I are just doing the job of being a monk and ringing the bell for a day. Whatever your Majesty wants us to do, we will arrange it and we will never go against your Majesty."

Wang Jun felt that he had probably been dulled by the rough work at the Ministry of Works, and he asked disdainfully and ignorantly: "If you become a yes man, your Majesty will not be angry?"

Yu Xin shook his head repeatedly: "In this world, can everyone really be fair and down-to-earth in their work? You and I both know it is impossible, and His Majesty also knows it. In this case, it is better to keep an obedient person in front of you than to replace him with someone else." Isn’t it better for a person who only knows how to criticize and contradict him all day long?”

"This official..."

Wang Jun sighed softly, but in the end he did not say what was in his heart. He waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, shook his head and walked away.

Yu Xin hummed twice.

Since he entered the officialdom, he has been familiar with the government affairs of the world. He must keep in mind all the people, land, land and dangers in the world. The Ministry of Household is responsible for the money, grain and taxation of the world. He thinks that he has done a good job and always protects the people of the court. Don’t lose money and food.

It’s amazing that people’s minds have changed.

It has been twenty-seven years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Your Majesty's thoughts are changing, and so are those of the people below.

My own thoughts are also changing.

I don’t want to be a mediocre official, but I don’t have the courage to do so.

Turning a blind eye and guarding Ming's money bag, Yu Xin felt that he was worthy of the guidance of sages and the cultivation and promotion of the emperor.

……

"Yuan Sutai's wife was very happy after receiving the royal decree. Now she no longer says that he is away from home all day."

"Yuan Sutai, on the other hand, only wore the red crane robe once to worship his ancestors, and then put on his dirty clothes and worked hard in the fields."

"The news about the sweet potato yield of 30 dan per mu has been spread. Now everyone in Yingtian Mansion is eagerly looking forward to it. They only hope to grow sweet potatoes next year."

"It is also because of this that the common people took the initiative to expose several places in Yingtian Mansion that had not yet completed the restructuring of grain chiefs and tax collectors, and pushed forward."

The autumn breeze is blowing, and the smoke is vast.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, at the Longwan Pier under Yingtian City, Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his pockets, looking sideways at Zhu Yunxi who was wearing an indigo swimsuit next to him, and whispered about the follow-up events caused by the sweet potato incident in the past two days.

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the welcoming team on the pier, which was composed of palace servants, palace maids, military guards and officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Everywhere I looked, there were flags waving and ribbons dancing, and my heart that had been hanging around relaxed a little.

"How have the officials in the DPRK been doing these past two days?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang and asked.

Zhu Gaochi shrugged and curled his lips: "What else can I do? Naturally, I have been talking about Master Yuan's great achievements all day long, and I wish I could replace him and enjoy the glory of that first-class official."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi let out a sigh, frowned, and tilted his head to look at Zhu Yunxi with a slight smile on his face.

"That's not what you're asking!"

After speaking urgently, Zhu Gaochi's eyes kept turning, and then stopped: "They, don't they mean that one day is like a hundred days, and a hundred days are like one day. I heard that Zhai Shan feels that the current three-year Beijing inspection is not enough to cover all the hundred days. Regarding the performance of official ethics, we should learn from the official selection and assessment system of Jiaozhi Road, but now there are some rumors, and many people are paying attention.

Furthermore, Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, seemed to feel that the clan received too much salary, and intended to file a petition to reduce the clan's expenses. Also, due to the military affairs of the Nine Borders, he wanted to make some changes to the Kaizhong system. However, it was also a rumor that had not been released. Put it into practice.

On the other hand, Wang Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, seemed to have heard about the rumors from the Ministry of Revenue. For some reason, he yelled at Yu Xin in the yamen. Then he issued a memorial, admonishing that Grandpa should give Zhang Ergong an official position in the Ministry of Industry. Errand."

On the river outside the pier, there are currently only one merchant ship following Ying Tianfu's order, moored or towed on the river, never approaching the berthing area of ​​the pier. There are also fishing boats scattered on the river like snowflakes.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at them twice before saying with a smile: "I am a little surprised that they are like this."

"Huh?" Zhu Gaochi was a little confused.

"The direction of the imperial court has begun to change." Zhu Yunxi's face was tense, not daring to slack off: "Do you think they are all worried about state affairs, and even do not hesitate to offend the clan?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Isn't it? Because of the rumors in the household department, Brother Bing and the others almost rushed to the household department to find Yu Xin to settle accounts and ask him whose household department it was. ”

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment and searched the pier, but could not find Zhu Shangbing and the others.

Then he turned around and said, "Are they gone?"

Zhu Gaochi curled his lips and cupped his hands in his pockets: "If I really went there, would I still be able to leave the palace now? But I would have to be beaten severely by grandpa, and the inevitable meal would be fried shredded pork on a bamboo board."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is what I worry about.

The trend of officials in the DPRK and China has changed. They are more cautious in doing things and put their official positions first.

Regardless of whether the Ministry of Revenue is pushing ahead with the clan’s salary reduction, at least if the rumors come out, they are working for the country. Does the clan dare to say another word?

It can be said that you can move forward and retreat freely.

However, Wang Jun, a serious Confucian disciple, was able to lose face and directly petitioned the old man to get Zhang Ergong and others to the Ministry of Industry, which was a bit unexpected.

Just...

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi, who had been frowning, and said in a low voice: "Are you worried that if Zhang Ergong and others are sent to the Ministry of Industry, they will be placed under Wang Jun's rule and it will be difficult to do things in the future? ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I have this worry."

Zhu Gaochi took his hands out of his pockets, stretched out his hand to support his chin, and asked curiously: "You haven't read the memorial in the past two days?"

Zhu Yunxi said doubtfully: "The wedding is approaching, and today is the day when Duke Xinguo and Marquis Xiping enter the capital. They have been busy with this matter, so how can they have time to read the memorial."

August 15th is just around the corner, and my wedding is about to begin.

Whether it is the Duke of Xinguo's Mansion or the Marquis of Xiping's Mansion, it is not only the woman's family, but also the close relationship between the clan.

After he was busy supervising the sweet potato harvest in Linyuan, Zhu Yunxi was urged by the old man to concentrate on organizing the wedding and welcoming the two families to Beijing.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and nodded: "Then you don't have time. After Wang Jun gave the memorial that day, Zhang Ergong also went to the memorial, saying that he had no talent and was a vulgar person. He only knew how to make the steam engine better and didn't dare to The chief of the workmanship department.

After my grandfather read it, he laughed for a while and scolded Zhang Ergong for being a poor man who didn't understand officialdom. But I thought, Wang Jun's face would probably turn green when he heard Zhang Ergong's memorial."

Not green.

What has happened to this idiot Zhang Ergong?

Zhu Yunxi felt better for no reason.

Just at this time.

Zhu Shangbing, who had been leaving the city since he left the city, and jumping up and down with a bunch of cousins, suddenly appeared in Zhu Yunxi's sight.

I saw him leading a group of cousins ​​from the clan, running along the edge of the pier.

"It's the boat ride from Xipinghou Mansion!"
