Chapter 6(1/2)
Shuiyue took Mu Bai to a side hall in the back hall of Weiyang Palace.
Mu Bai looked at it and saw a scarlet official uniform stacked on the table, which was a fifth-grade official.
Shuiyue's cold pond-like eyes looked at Mu Bai:
"Sanlang, the disaster is serious at present, and something happened to Lord Li again. Your Majesty means that you are temporarily in the Ministry of Revenue. If you have a job in the Ministry of Revenue, you will be sentenced to the Ministry of Revenue in Shangshu Province."
Mu Bai didn't expect to become an official in the Daliang court so soon.
However, the empress's current situation does need a helper.
Shuiyue briefly told him about the situation of the Ministry of Revenue:
"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and grain, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the court. In the past, Wei Qian's followers were under control. His Majesty later inserted Lord Li and wanted to take the opportunity to hit Wei Qian."
"But this time the disaster broke out, His Majesty also realized that the water in the Ministry of Revenue was too deep and too muddy, and Lord Li could not disturb him alone."
Mu Bai didn't say anything. He had eaten the Heart-Erosion Pill himself. He didn't know how many days he would live, so he could only cross the river by feeling the stones and take a look.
Mu Bai smiled while wearing official uniform:
"It's the fifth grade right from now on. This is the first time I'm on the Cloud Piercing Arrow!"
You should know that there are thousands of officials in the world who have studied hard for ten years and have been a candidate for high school students after being enrolled in high school.
Those who have no connections or financial resources will be a candidate for the rest of their lives.
But who made Mu Bai’s connections be His Majesty today!
He deserves to be the fate of his career.
This girl Shuiyue is not very big, but she is not very angry:
"A little fifth-rank sesame official, in this important place in the capital, can you kill a large piece of bricks? Are you happy? If you weren't worried that someone would be irresponsible, your Majesty would not want you to be ranked as the third official directly."
"Give me aside, I want to live a few more days." Mu Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly. The three ministers in the court were all big names in the center of the vortex of power!
Mu Bai suddenly thought of something, so he had to prepare early, so he told Shuiyue to do it.
"Miss Shuiyue, please find someone to go to the Imperial Garden to catch a hundred grasshoppers."
"Grasshopper? Locust? What are you doing?"
Shuiyue stared at him as if she had seen a ghost. Now the people in Daliang Kingdom are afraid of locusts when they mention them. This thing is evil!
Mu Bai kept it a secret: "Listen to me, whether you can save Lord Li is all about these grasshoppers."
Can grasshoppers save people?
Shuiyue is skeptical, but since it was Mu Bai's explanation, it should be impossible to make a mistake.
"Then you go in first, I'll find someone to catch him."
"I'm in trouble!"
After putting on his official uniform, Mu Bai tiptoed to the Political Affairs Hall of Weiyang Palace, and the scene was extremely shocking.
The civil and military ministers are separated from each other, and the open space in the middle is much larger than the low-cost scenes of the shabby crew on TV, and it is more than enough to play a 5v5 basketball game.
Mu Bai quickly stood on the side of the civil minister. The atmosphere in the hall was stalemate and no one cared about him.
Mu Bai looked up at Ling Yan Ji sitting in the position of the Nine Five Lord, shocked the gods.
The appearance of the simple costume I saw last time in Kunning Palace was very different. The gold ornaments and jade on her head had completely covered her hair, revealing a face that was intoxicating to all living beings.
Just as Ling Yanji looked at Mu Bai, she felt a little relieved.
She didn't expect that she had experienced many battles and looked down on the world in martial arts, and she would feel safe because of the arrival of a little handsome man.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: When did I become secular?
The leader of the military general is Tong Dingzhuo, the "King of One Character Shoulder".
The head of the civil minister was Wei Qian, the Duke of the Fuguo.
Both of them are three dukes.
The other is Tan Guowei, the Marquis of Huaiyang, who is known as the "barometer of the court". As long as something big happens in the court, his body will get sick on time.
"Marty Tan is sick again today?"
"Hey, routine operation. A few days ago, His Majesty issued an order to set the capital of Changling. Judging from the posture of Marquis of Wei, he would not give up if he didn't kill Li Si."
The two adults in front of Mu Bai were talking.
It seems that among the officials, there are many people who don’t mind watching the fun!
With Mu Bai coming to the scene to help, the empress also took a reassurance and then said loudly:
"Cao Qing, you continue."
The empress's majestic voice echoed over the dome-like hall.
At this time, in the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a purple official uniform was holding a court tablet.
Zuodu Censor, Cao Jianren, the third rank.
Seeing him bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Minister of Revenue Li Si, during the disaster relief in Qingzhou, had a fierce conflict with local officials and wealthy businessmen, killing many people.
These people have not been tried by the Third Department and the Ministry of Justice has reviewed the case. Before they were convicted, Li Si dared to commit suicide without authorization, and the one who killed the imperial court was the official.
As a result, no one in the Qingzhou officialdom dared to contribute to the disaster.
Li Si's ruthless measures are the culprit for the deterioration of the locust plague in Qingzhou. I am willing to ask Your Majesty to punish Li Si more."
Tsk tsk tsk!
Mu Bai shook his head when he heard this. The censor said this kind of virtue, spitting his sword and asking for his life every word.
No wonder all officials are afraid of being impeached by the censor. Those who are timid will be frightened by him.
Lingyan Ji's eyebrows condensed.
Li Si's difficulties have been mentioned many times in the secret letter. This year's locust plague is really powerful, and the fertile land has been eaten up for thousands of miles.
In addition, the greed for the most part is very good, and 30% of the money and food allocated by the court can be used by the victims.
Not killing is not enough to vent public anger.
The empress must be a protector, she said loudly:
"The greed and ingenious officialdom in Qingzhou became popular, and the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the people were influenced by fish and meat. I allowed Li Si to use extraordinary means."
The empress's attitude is very clear. I will tell him to do the matter; I will allow him to kill the person.
Although Cao Jianren has a stingy tongue, he has no brains at least.
He dared not collide with the empress.
At this time, seeing that he stopped talking, Tong Dingzhuo, the head of the general, came over, and was domineering, wearing armor like a slaughtered Shimoro.
He had thick eyebrows upside down, looked at Cao Jianren with only two eyes, and sneered:
"Mr. Cao, it's been a whole morning. Sigh... What's the grudge between Li Si and you? Have you killed your whole family? Ah? You won't feel happy if you don't kill him, right?"
Tong Dingzhuo's words are so...elegant.
Cao Jianren was so angry that he couldn't raise his head, so he didn't dare to respond, and his whole body was trembling.
He is just a dog leading the way, and barking fiercely is what his master means!
Then, in front of Tong Dingzhuo, an extremely cunning old man said with a smile:
"What is the prince saying? As the left censor, it is his duty to supervise all officials. Especially at the time of disaster, he cannot indulge some people who cannot do anything wrong."
When Tong Dingzhuo heard this, he glanced at him and then chuckled:
"Marty Wei, I know you are in a bad mood these days, but you shouldn't be angry with Li Si! Tie your dog, don't let it go and bite it."
Wei Qian's eyes were ruthless: "Prince pays attention to the wording. Lord Cao is not someone's dog, he is the imperial official."
Tong Dingzhuo stared at the bull's eyes: "I just called him a dog. What can he do to me? Do you dare to participate in me? Try participating in me!"
Tong Dingzhuo acts like he is acting like a scoundrel, can you control it?
Wei Qian is very powerful, but he is really not a match for Tong Dingzhuo when he plays tricks on his own.
I had to shut up for the time being.
At this time, Cao Jianren was thinking in his heart that there is really no need to treat me as cannon fodder for the two great gods!
Seeing that the situation had gradually recovered, the corner of the empress curled her mouth slightly bent.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. Let's talk about Li Si's affairs after he returns to Beijing. The disaster in Qingzhou is rampant, and the most urgent thing is to come up with a strategy to deal with locusts. Do you have any good ideas?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone whispered.
Who can beat the locusts in the sky?
The thing was chewing everywhere, and as long as it could be eaten, it was wiped out.
All officials are helpless.
To be continued...
