Chief Financial Officer
Marquis Yong'an not only disagreed, but was also quite angry, and rarely got angry at Wei Chenrui: "The old man is in very strong health, do you think that grandpa is not in good health and it's time to retire? "

Unexpectedly, Marquis Yong'an would have such a big reaction, Wei Chenrui froze for a moment.

"Let's go, let's go to the Martial Arts Hall to practice and let you see if the old man is in good health!" As he said that, he was about to pull Wei Chenrui away.

After such a pull, Wei Chenrui also reacted, and hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, you misunderstood, I asked you to retire, not because of your poor health!"

"Anyway, I'm also a master of medicine. I can't tell if your body is strong or not."

Only then did Yong Anhou remember that Wei Chenrui's medical skills were better than those of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, and he could indeed see his physical condition, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and the movements of his hands stopped accordingly: "Why is that?"

Wei Chenrui looked at the servant girls around him, and winked at Huixin, Huixin quickly took everyone out, and after making sure no one would eavesdrop, Wei Chenrui said, "Grandpa, you are in good health, But many ministers who are younger than you are not as strong as you."

This is the truth, Yong An Hou loves to hear it, and nodded in agreement, his mood has stabilized.

Seeing this, Wei Chenrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as coaxing people.

"Those ministers are not in good health, and they still insist on the power in their hands and refuse to let go. The younger generation will not be able to take the position. If things go on like this, the country will be in danger."

Marquis Yong An listened and nodded again and again: "Indeed, those people are really not very good, they can't stand it when they get angry a little bit, it's really useless."

Wei Chenrui was overjoyed, knowing that there should be no problem in persuading Marquis Yong'an to agree: "That's right, you think so too, our father and I still have the same opinion."

"They refused to give up their position, so I can only find a way to make them give up. I'm just thinking about my age and I'm retired. It just so happens that your age is above my approximate age."

"Thus, even though your body is quite strong, I have to persuade you to agree to retire. You are my own grandfather. If you refuse to support me, then this retirement will not be possible!"

That's right, if my grandfather doesn't support Chen Rui, how can those ministers agree?
"Okay, the old man agreed to this matter, you don't have to worry about those old things that the old man has befriended, grandpa will convince them!"

With the help of Marquis Yong'an, Wei Chenrui's persuasion will only go more smoothly.

However, this is not a trivial matter after all, but a major matter related to the rise and fall of a family. Not everyone will give face to Yong Anhou. Wei Chenrui can't let Yong Anhou put down his old face and let others trample on him. To some extent, he still needs to make a deal with him , to make the persuasion smoother.

"Grandpa, since you want to help Chen Rui, then Chen Rui has to make a confession with you, so as not to hurt the friendship between you old people."

Yong'an Hou didn't expect this. Hearing Wei Chenrui's words, he knew that he was taking things for granted, so he naturally wouldn't refuse: "Tell me, I'll listen!"

Without hesitation, Wei Chenrui explained the benefits he planned to give to those retirees one by one.

"Mr.?" Yong Anhou's eyes widened in disbelief, "Those guys don't know much Chinese characters, so they are not expected to be gentlemen."

The surprise of Yong'anhou was completely within Wei Chenrui's expectation. They are all people from the same circle. Being able to mix together means that they are similar. Yong'anhou was born in martial arts, and he doesn't have a high level of literacy. Together, the knowledge is not good.

But asking them to be gentlemen is not the same as the current gentlemen, to teach cultural knowledge such as poetry and poetry, Wei Chenrui can only explain in detail to Yong'anhou.

"Chen Rui is naturally aware of their situation, and naturally he will not let them teach people how to read and write."

"Then teach what?" Marquis Yong'an was very puzzled.

Wei Chenrui continued to explain: "Profess the experience of fighting the enemy, how to quickly eliminate the enemy, how to identify the enemy's conspiracy, how to detect spies, etc., are very practical things on the battlefield."

Marquis Yong An understood now: "That's it, this is an easy thing for those old guys, this gentleman can still do it, as for whether they are willing or not, then I can't guarantee, no one can keep some Give something to my family!"

Wei Chenrui can understand very well that in this day and age, masters and apprentices still have a trick, let alone a gentleman who can't even be regarded as a master and apprentice, and he didn't force it: "It doesn't matter, there are so many generals, there will always be people who can't stay idle." , willing to teach."

"That's fine, let me tell you about those old guys. With the conditions you set out, plus my old face, those old guys will definitely not refuse." Yong Anhou said full of confidence.

Naturally, Wei Chenrui would not pour cold water on Marquis Yong An at this time: "I believe grandpa can do it."

After the matter was settled, Wei Chenrui would not be able to stay in Yong'anhou's mansion any longer, and Yong'anhou was also preparing to set off, and the grandfather and grandson divided into two groups, heading towards their respective goals.

Retirement is a major event after all, and each family is very cautious, and they did not agree to it outright, but have to think about it.

Wei Chenrui was not in a hurry, and he didn't say no outright, which meant that the possibility of agreeing was still very high, and there was no need to push too hard.

The matter here is almost resolved, and the matter over the Criminal Department is also on the agenda.

On the morning of the next day, Wei Chenrui brought up the matter of his transfer from the Ministry of Punishment without any hesitation.

To Wei Chenrui's surprise, most of the courtiers were supportive of Wei Chenrui's transfer. The only point of contention was the issue of who would be the top of these vacancies.

Wei Chenrui didn't intend to arrange anyone to enter the Ministry of Punishment, and she had no one to arrange for, so she didn't intervene, and let the courtiers fight over there.

For a few unimportant officials, Emperor Zhaohe didn't bother to bother, and didn't interrupt, watching with great interest the arguments between those ministers and the ladies who bought vegetables in the vegetable market.

After arguing for an early court without any result, Emperor Zhaohe simply waved his hand: "You all discuss and decide in private, retreat from the court!"

After speaking, he left quickly, followed by Wei Chenrui.

Seeing that the emperor and the empress had left, the ministers snorted at each other and went to the duty with unhappy faces.

Seeing Shangguan's ugly face, the people below all tucked their tails to do things, for fear of being used as a punching bag, and their work efficiency was unprecedentedly high.

Of course, Wei Chenrui didn't know about this. After he came down to court, he went to the harem to pay respects to the elders, then went to the martial arts field, and told the officials about the transfer.

When they arrived at the martial arts arena, Wei Chenrui took advantage of the break and called a few people together: "I called you here today because I have something very important to talk about."

"From today onwards, the few of you will be under the jurisdiction of the hall, and will assist the hall in handling matters related to the imperial examination. This is one of the teachings of the law to the Jinshi. As for other things, it has not yet been determined. Wait for the confirmation I'll tell you later."

"You didn't have grades before, and you don't have any now, but this is only temporary. After all, the reform of the imperial examinations has just started, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. That is to say, what grades you will have in the future, the hall does not know. , It depends on your own efforts."

"As for the salary, it will be distributed according to when you were in the Ministry of Punishment. After a while, you will tell Huixin the specific amount of salary, and she will verify and distribute it."

"By the way, for the reasons that everyone knows, our hall is not on good terms with the household department, and this hall does not want to see the face of the household department, so your salary will not go from the household department, but directly from the hall, and Huixin will be responsible for distributing it temporarily."

After hearing Wei Chenrui's words, Mu Mengfei was still relatively calm, as if he had expected it long ago, but the others were not so calm. They looked at each other, and one of them boldly asked in a low voice: "Then the official is still Official status?"

Wei Chenrui was stumped by this question, she really hadn't thought about it, although it was brought up in the early court today and the ministers agreed, but it still needs a process to implement it.

During this process, these people were indeed a little embarrassed.

What was wrong, Wei Chenrui didn't intend to cover it up for himself, and said frankly: "This matter is not considered carefully by the hall. There are indeed some problems with your current identities. You are not an official, and you are not a citizen."

"However, you don't have to worry. Since you have found a problem, the hall will definitely solve the problem. You were originally officials, and this matter was approved by the ministers of the court. Naturally, you will also be officials in the future."

"However, before the specific official positions are discussed, your identities are still a bit embarrassing. I can only wrong you temporarily. I hope you will understand."

Wei Chenrui, the princess, said something that made people understand, and they were a little flattered. Where would they have any objections, they hurriedly expressed that they could understand and would not care about it, and Mu Mengfei was one of them.

Everyone had no objections, Wei Chenrui felt relieved, and told these people the reason for these Jinshi training, and said that after the professor is finished, they can try to find loopholes in Zhaoguo's laws and formulate a more reasonable law. law.

The newly revised law can be remembered by the people in history. It is very attractive to these literati, and it is even more attractive to Mu Mengfei, a person who has outstanding ability and hopes to be reused.

Kneeling on the ground excitedly, he kowtowed heavily: "Thank you Your Highness for giving me such an opportunity. I will definitely not accept His Highness's entrustment, and vow to find out all the loopholes in Zhao Kingdom's laws."

Unexpectedly, Mu Mengfei, who had always been calm, would suddenly be so excited. The other three were stunned for a while, then reacted, and knelt and kowtowed together.

Wei Chenrui nodded in satisfaction: "Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you guys to preside over it. Your professor's Jinshi will give you a certain amount of help, and you should use it rationally.

As for finding out all the loopholes in the law, there is no need. That is a fundamentally impossible thing to accomplish. No one is perfect, and the law is made by man, so it can never be perfect without authority. What you can do is Even if loopholes are found and corrected, I hope you will not disappoint our hall. "

They are all smart people, so they naturally understood that what Wei Chenrui said was true, and they kowtowed together again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."

Wei Chenrui still has a lot of things to do. After solving the problems of these people, he went to see the construction progress of the [Technology Development Bureau], and then returned to the academy to start today's study.

When Wei Chenrui arrived, Qian Zhixin was already holding the ledger and waiting in the academy.

At this time, Shao Fu had already come in, and the lecture was about to start, Wei Chenrui was not in a hurry to accept the results, and signaled him to listen carefully to the lecture.

After listening to a class, during the break, Qian Zhixin couldn't wait to find Wei Chenrui holding the account book: "Your Highness, you asked the younger one to calculate the account book, and the younger ones have been calculated. Would you like to see it?"

Wei Chenrui did not accept the account book, but asked, "Did you find any problems in it?"

Qian Zhixin nodded: "There are a few books that are problematic." As he spoke, he found the ones he needed from the pile of ledgers, and opened them to Wei Chenrui, "Look here, The refunds in these few days are much more than before, and the strangest thing is that there are only refunds and no returns.”

Hearing this, Wei Chenrui roughly knew what was going on, but he wasn't too sure, so he leaned forward to check the ledger.As expected, it was the period when the courtiers objected to being a concubine and sent someone to destroy their things.

The time was right, as for the person, Wei Chenrui really couldn't remember, but Huixin had a bill, and the shopkeepers would not dare to mess around with this account.

Knowing the cause of the problem, Wei Chenrui had nothing to worry about. He nodded and said, "Apart from these few books, are there any other problems?"

Qian Zhixin was dumbfounded and didn't understand: "Your Highness, are you going to investigate such a big problem?"

Wei Chenrui smiled: "Look carefully at the time and think about what happened in the capital at that time."

Qian Zhixin frowned, thinking about it carefully, it took him a while to realize: "Oh, I just remembered, at that time, it seemed that the ministers of the court objected to your becoming a concubine, and you destroyed the things in their house in a fit of anger. "

"However, with such a large amount, aren't you worried about the shopkeeper's false report?" Qian Zhixin was a little puzzled.

Wei Chenrui nodded with a smile: "Not bad, I still have some brains."

"The shopkeeper dare not report this matter in a hurry. First of all, there are records in the ledgers of the items bought by the ministers' houses; secondly, when the hall sends people to destroy things, they are also destroyed according to the records. The items are very clear, and the corresponding list has been made, and it is kept by Huixin, and the shopkeeper will not be stupid enough to tamper with such a thing that will be discovered."

Qian Zhixin understood now, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Your Highness is brilliant, I still need to learn a lot from you."

Before Wei Chenrui could say anything, the break was over and Shao Fu was about to start a new round of lectures. Qian Zhixin had no choice but to return to his seat and wait for the next break.
