Time travel is not a slave

Chapter 74
"Xie Shangshu is really dedicated. He is in a high position and he is worried about the people of the world. The salt-making map you submitted a few days ago has been verified by the household department, and it is indeed feasible. Just now His Majesty praised your salt-making method. More importantly, after Every mouthful of cheap salt eaten by the common people is due to Xie Shangshu!"

"Where where..."

"Hey ~ Xie Shangshu don't need to be overly humble. With such a meritorious service, the merits are in the present and the benefits will be in the future. This time, if Xie Shangshu cannot enter the cabinet, I will not agree!"

"Yes, Shangshu Xie has made great contributions. We should make a statement for Shangshu Xie in front of His Majesty. I think it's better for me to draw up a brochure and write a joint letter. Please Your Majesty!"

From afar, Shen Shiyi saw Xie Qingshan waving his hands modestly, "Hey, it's just a fluke to develop the method of making salt. Your Majesty is wise and makes his own decisions. Even if you don't reward me, I, as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, will seek for the common people. Isn't happiness what I should do? Everyone, don't exaggerate too much, Xie is ashamed..."

"Xie Shangshu is too self-effacing!"

"It's just... Xie Shangshu's great achievements, selfless devotion to the court is what we should do, then we really have no face to face it..."

...

When the court retreated in the early morning, the ministers of the Household Department and Xie Qingshan's old friends did not leave in a hurry, but they all surrounded Xie Qingshan, boasting and showing off.

That's right, this is a rare time to get the limelight. Once the cheap salt comes out, even comparable to the return of the British Duke, they are naturally proud and have a position to show off at the gate of Chengming Hall.

His Majesty has been dissatisfied with Hubu for a long time because he saw others boasting about his merits in the past, and now it is finally Hubu's turn to show off, and everyone will naturally enjoy the envious eyes of everyone.

In Chengming Hall, people came out from time to time, passing by this group of people who were showing off loudly and talking eloquently, some cupped their hands to express congratulations, some lowered their heads, pretending not to see it, and some were not convinced, feeling that there was some achievement So they boasted endlessly, before they came back victorious, but they were not as proud as such villains.

Shen Shiyi just walked against the retreating civil and military officials and walked towards Chengming Hall.

Along the way, some people who saw Shen Shiyi pretended not to see them, and some who did, glanced sideways and stopped paying attention, and some stopped and pointed at Shen Shiyi with the people around them. talking about something.

Shen Shiyi was dressed in official robes, with a slender figure, delicate features, male and female, all civil and military officials were well-informed. At the beginning of the new year, everyone had heard of a female official in Nekusi. I realized that some people don't care about their affairs and ignore them, some people instinctively hide with a frown, and some people finally see the real person, so they point out from the sidelines.

Unmoved, Shen Shiyi went straight against the flow of people and walked towards Chengming Palace. Not surprisingly, he met Xie Qingshan's and the others' eyes.

When Shen Shiyi went out, Xie Qingshan had already gone to court.It was decades of hard work that allowed Xie Qingshan, a person with no background, to be in a high position and in charge of a department.

Now when he saw Shen Shiyi, his eye sockets shrank a little for a moment and soon returned to normal.If Shen Shiyi had just handed in the salt-making drawings a few days ago, and Shen Shiyi jumped out and corrected him with the drawings, it might have caused a lot of discussion in the court, but now, "his salt-making method" has been successfully verified and appreciated by His Majesty Well, it's done. If Shen Shiyi jumps out at this time, it can be said that there will be nothing in return except accusations.

An important minister and a hairy woman, who should I trust, do I even need to think about it?
Originally, he wanted to act first, and after the blueprint was verified, if it failed, he asked Mother Fang to inquire about the details of the failure.If successful, the access control of the Indus Courtyard will be unlocked.After all, Shen Shiyi is also an official, and she can only be under house arrest for a few days when she comes back from a business trip. Xie Qingshan originally thought that if His Majesty asked about Shen Shiyi, he would have to find a doctor to say that Shen Shiyi was ill and delay for a while.

However, the blueprint has been successfully verified, and the matter has been finalized. Shen Shiyi's appearance here will not change anything.

In an instant, Xie Qingshan even felt that this was God's favor, otherwise, why didn't Shen Shiyi come out a few days ago, but why did he walk out of Wutong courtyard today when the overall situation of the court was settled?
The right time and place are all on his side, the smile on Xie Qingshan's face deepened, and when he looked at his colleagues around him, his eyes were more gentle.He has always been a kind person, and among the chief officials of the six departments, he has the best popularity and reputation.Although His Majesty has been responsible for the poor performance of the household department in recent years, it does not affect the impression of him in the hearts of the ministers as a good man, with difficulties, and dedicated to his errands.

Right now, there are household officials complaining about the injustice of the chief official.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if he was in a hurry to go to the doctor. A few years ago, the national treasury was tight, and the Ministry of Household Affairs worked hard to increase income and reduce expenditure. Now, Xie Shangshu has presented the salt making method, which can greatly relieve the pressure on the national treasury. Your Majesty is not afraid of Xie Shangshu, the pillar of the country. Why don’t you go to the people to find someone who is a woman? If it was before, we wouldn’t say anything, but now Xie Shangshu has made great contributions to the court, if the court doesn’t give us an explanation, we won’t let it go so easily.”

"Hey~ don't be so arbitrary, she is just a low-ranking official of Neikusi, and we have no objection if His Majesty wants to. I heard that this woman still has this talent, and she is better than the two people in Neikusi. The shop in the county Do you know? It was made by the little girl in front of me."

"It's just a shop, but is it worth a little finger of the Ministry of Accounting? Not to mention that the Ministry of Accounting is now offering the method of making salt..."

"Hey, in front of Chengming Hall, don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone came and went with no scruples, commenting unscrupulously in front of Shen Shiyi.

Shen Shiyi listened to the discussion, ignored it, and went straight to Xie Qingshan, "Uncle and grandfather don't want Shi Yi to go out, but the Emperor ordered him to come to His Majesty today for business, so he slightly offended the guard at the door One or two, please forgive me, uncle and grandpa."

Sensing the astonishment in everyone's eyes, Xie Qingshan stroked his beard and laughed, "Colleagues, let me introduce you. This is my elder sister's granddaughter. Now she has been summoned by His Majesty to enter the inner Kusi to share His Majesty's worries."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Shen Shiyi, "I sent you a nursing home for your safety. After all, Wutong Courtyard is remote."

Everyone was talking about Shen Shiyi just now, and now they heard that Shen Shiyi is the junior of the chief, so they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but judging from the meaning of the two people's words, the two seemed to have some conflicts and misunderstandings. I made a joke and offended people for no reason.

When Shen Shiyi saw Xie Qingshan say this, he went straight to it, "After all, I am from the Shen family, and I have been used to being alone since I was a child. I may not understand the love of my uncle and grandpa. Today I will move out of Xie's other courtyard and report to my uncle here. , save someone from misunderstood that I left without warning, it would be impolite."

In front of everyone, His Highness Cheng Ming is not a place where parents are short-sighted. Xie Qingshan only twirled his beard and followed Shen Shiyi's words, "Okay, Shi Yi has always been ambitious, otherwise he wouldn't have his parents in the hall, and he would be alone in Tianjin as a daughter." Fortunately, now that you have been summoned by His Majesty, and your family is reunited in the capital, you must devote yourself to running errands for His Majesty and taking time to be filial to your parents. Your mother hasn't seen you for more than half a year, right?"

Listen to what Xie Qingshan said.Everyone started to discuss, no matter what happened, no matter what position the grandfather and grandson took, whether there was a misunderstanding or not, it would be unfilial not to pay respects to mother for more than half a year.

Everyone looked at Shen Shiyi with subtle eyes.

Shen Shiyi smiled, "I grew up in front of my grandmother. A few years ago, I performed my filial piety in front of my grandfather's grave for my parents. Now I am honored to be appreciated by His Majesty, and I am summoned to the capital. I am also busy with errands and cannot return home for half a year. Afterwards, I was imprisoned in Wutong Courtyard again, no matter what, with my sisters and brothers in front of my mother, my parents must understand my difficulties. Uncle, grandpa, what do you think?"

Xie Qingshan laughed, "Shi Yi is also an official appointed by the imperial court. We are in front of the Chengming Palace, and we only talk about the official status and not personal matters. Now Shi Yi is sharing the worries of His Majesty. He is busy all year round and is quite effective. He is a role model for us, ah~"

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd.

Under Xie Shangshu's gaze, everyone smiled, it was flattering, but they were somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts. How could they, the serious officials of the court, learn from this low-ranking official of the Neikusi?Still wearing official robes, that nondescript look.

"Lord Shen, Your Majesty has summoned you."

The appearance of Xiaohuangmen broke the embarrassing scene of everyone agreeing.

Shen Shiyi cupped his hands, followed the small yellow gate and walked steadily towards Chengming Hall.

"A female officer from Neikusi actually came to the Chengming Hall, what a rooster and morning, what a shame."

Someone was gloomy.

"The child is naughty, he doesn't know the depth, his temper is irritable, he is very happy and can't be restrained, hey!"

Xie Shangshu's words set the tone for Shen Shiyi's behavior in the hearts of everyone present.With his evaluation of Shen Shiyi as his uncle, when outsiders did not have a deep friendship with Shen Shiyi, they would be disgusted with preconceptions.

Everyone looked at Xie Shangshu and shook their heads as if hating him, as if they had some understanding in their hearts.
