System, help me be an empress

Chapter 50
In the first year of God Bless, the second day of March.

Hall of Supreme Harmony, early dynasty.

"Dear dears, do you have a suitable candidate for the matter of measuring the land?" Xu Youxi raised this question for the third time in the early court in recent days.

At present, there are mainly two voices in the imperial court, one part supports Fu Youxing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other part supports Lu Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

"I believe that Lu Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, can take on this great task. Lu Jin is not only born as a nobleman, but also has outstanding abilities. He is the best candidate."

"Your Majesty, although Lu Jin's ability is fair, his qualifications are too low, and the matter of land surveying is important, so he should send experienced officials. I feel that Fu Youxing from the Metropolitan Procuratorate is more suitable."

"It's so hard to measure the land. Thinking about how vast the land is, Fu Yushi may not be able to compare with Lu Jin in terms of physical strength, although Fu Yushi has deep qualifications."

"Lu Jin works in the Imperial Academy and has been dealing with paper scriptures all year round. If he can bear the hardships, Mr. Fu, as the envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to visit folk places all the year round, will definitely be able to handle it better."

Not surprisingly, the two waves of people began to fight among themselves again.

You taunt me, I taunt you, the quarrel is exhilarating.

Xu Youxi sat on the dragon chair and watched the commotion, and by the way remembered which faction these people belonged to. When the group of people had finished speaking, the person he had arranged should appear.

Standing behind the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Rong Yingran, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites, sighed silently, stepped forward in two steps, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I recommend Du Zhizhi, the chief secretary of Lancheng County. This man is brave and resourceful, and his character is upright. , is a rare talent who can be of great use.”

As soon as the name "Du Zhiyi" was mentioned, the whole court fell silent instantly.

On the contrary, it's not that no one has heard of this name. The reason for the silence is that the name is too loud.

"I'm not familiar with this name. Since it was recommended by Rong Shilang, why don't you explain it in detail?"

Rong Yingran couldn't help complaining, between the two of us, who has never heard of this person! ! !
Rong Yingran sighed in his heart, and reported sternly: "Du Zhiyi is a Jinshi during the Chongjiu period. He has been an official for more than [-] years. He used to be a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and later became the head of the household department. Judgment, Zhejiang Jiangxi and many other prefects."

"How was Nadu Zhiyi's performance when he was an official?"

"Master Du has been an official for 20 years. In his position, he seeks his own government. He strictly punishes corrupt officials and prohibits bribery for personal gain. During his parents' official career, he has repeatedly vindicated unjust, false and wrong cases. The people are known as 'the blue sky'."

"From Aiqing's words, Du Zhiyi is a rare talent. I remember that the magistrate of Lanzhou County is no more than a mere ninth-rank official. How can such a talented person as Mr. Du be reduced to this?"

"I don't know."

Xu Youxi and Rong Yingran just asked and answered like this, and the monarch and his ministers cooperated tacitly.

"There must be quite a few people in the court who are familiar with Mr. Du's deeds. I don't know which lover can tell me what happened in detail?"

Above the court hall, there was a dead silence.

"Appointment orders are always dispatched by the Ministry of Officials. Does the Minister of the Ministry of Officials know about this?" Wherever Xu Youxi's eyes fell, the officials there buried their heads deeper.

Yu Tan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was suddenly named, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have always admired Lord Du's righteousness, but Lord Du has a strong temper, and he has repeatedly played to anger the Supreme Emperor. I also acted according to orders, so I don't know what to do." Send Master Du to a remote city and county!"

"So that's it." Xu Youxi nodded, "Nowadays when all things are going to be done, and there is a shortage of honest officials like Mr. Du, then arrange for someone to recall Du Zhiyi back to the capital."

"This..." Minister of the Ministry of Officials Yu Tan lowered his head, his expression seemed a little hesitant.

Du Zhiyi's return is a good thing for the people; but for the court officials, it is undoubtedly an extra time bomb, and it will blow up on him at some point.

At this time, many factions in the court tacitly had the same idea in their hearts, and Du Zhiyi must not be allowed to return to Shangjing!

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Du Zhiyi has resigned from the post of Bo of Lancheng County a few days ago. After traveling all the way to Shangjing, he only paid a visit to the new emperor outside the capital to express his respect to His Majesty." Rong Yingran picked the right time to add something more.

Xu Youxi heard about Dayue: "All lovers, take a look, someone like Mr. Du is the one who is truly honored and disgraceful. It really echoed Ouyang Xiu's sentence, "If you live in a high temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away, you worry about its people." Jun', I am very moved!"

"..."

Ha ha.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to see dozens of Jinyi guards personally go out to 'escort' Du Zhiyi back to the capital, Rong Yingran would have believed Xu Youxi's nonsense.

Well, not once or twice anyway.

Xu Youxi stood up excitedly: "Zhou Yuxue, since Mr. Du is in Shangjing at this moment, why don't you send someone to invite him to the hall to face the saint!"

Between people, joys and sorrows are not connected.

As happy as Xu Youxi was, the court officials were as mournful as concubines.

Not long after, the well-dressed Du Zhiyi was invited to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Du Zhiyi appeared to be in his forties, with half black hair and half white hair, a pair of sharp eyes hidden under thick eyebrows, a broad nose, rigid facial features and big ears, even if he didn't say a word, he looked amazing.

"Chen Du Zhiyi kowtows to His Majesty." Du Zhiyi knelt down, pinned his forehead to the ground, and saluted.

"Aiqing, please hurry up, I have heard about your deeds, and you have suffered a lot of grievances after being sent down these years. Just say what you want, and I will definitely do my best to fulfill it!"

"Your Majesty, Du has nothing else to ask for but the country's peace and prosperity." Du Zhiyi's voice was deep and deep, with a unique sense of stability.

"Okay, okay." Xu Youxi was very happy, "I heard that you have entered the household department and once served as the head of the household department. Recently, the former secretary of the household department passed away, and there is a shortage of people to fill the position. I think your qualifications and official achievements are well-deserved. Are you willing to take on this burden?"

"I am willing."

"Okay! Now that there is a Shangshu in charge of the household department, the matter of 'measurement of the land' will be entrusted to Du Shangshu by the way."

……

Looking at this scene, Yu Tan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't help being terrified, and his thoughts were spinning a thousand times.

Among the six ministries, Meng Zhiqian, Shang Shu of the Ministry of War, is His Majesty's confidant, Rong Yingran, the Minister of Rites, has been installed in the Ministry of Rites, Li Shangyun, Minister of the Punishment Department, has assigned power, and Shang Shu of the Household Department has been handpicked by His Majesty, Du Zhiyi, who only recognizes death.

Then His Majesty will use him for the next operation, or will it be Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?

Although the six films have always seemed to be on an equal footing, in fact there is a chain of contempt.The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of officials, and has always been the most face-saving among the six ministries; followed by the Ministry of Households, which is in charge of money, who can not give it a thin face;

It's not that the Ministry of Industry is not important, it's just that it's difficult for this department to make achievements, and the treasury can't provide silver support. In recent years, it has become more like a simple decoration.

No.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials felt that if he continued to wait for death like this, he would be doomed, so he still had to find time to discuss the countermeasures with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
