The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Apocalypse Palace.

At this moment, just after the morning court, a group of two or three people were walking while chatting, each chatting about their own affairs, and preparing to go back to their respective mansions to run errands.

Regarding what happened in the early morning today, it is customary not to talk about it.Now that the emperor's mind is unpredictable, the most important thing is to sweep the snow in front of his house.

Dugu Ziyan also walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, saw Prince Yu in front of him, stepped forward, bowed and said: "Ziyan has seen the prince."

Prince Yu smiled slightly, returned the salute, and said, "It turns out to be the son of Marquis Wending. I wonder if Marquis Wending is in better health now?"

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied, "Thank you, Lord, for your concern. My father's health has improved a lot."

Prince Yu nodded and said: "That's good. Marquis Wending is the emperor's minister. Now he has been sick and unable to go to court. It is really a pity."

Duguzi replied with a shallow smile: "My lord, my father also hopes to serve the court and be loyal to the emperor. But he is already old, and he lost his beloved daughter suddenly, so he will be exhausted physically and mentally."

Prince Yu replied: "That's right. Once a person gets old, he wants to make his children smooth. Now he is really sad. Then you should comfort him more."

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied, "Thank you, my lord, Ziyan understands."

"Then the king will leave first." Prince Yu nodded and said, then turned and left.

Duguziyan bowed and saluted: "Respectfully send off the prince."

As he said that, Jiang Peiyuan also came out of the hall, took a look, stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty Wending."

Dugu Ziyan, who was about to leave, turned around to take a look, and also bowed back: "Prime Minister Jiang."

At this moment, Su Mingyuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, came over, bowed and saluted, "I have seen the prince, the son of Marquis Wending."

Duguzi smiled and said, "Master Su must have something important to do with Prime Minister Jiang, so I won't bother you, so I'll leave first."

Saying that, he nodded to Jiang Peiyuan in return, turned and left.

Looking at the figure going away, Jiang Peiyuan smiled helplessly... Dugu Ziyan really does not mix everything, and has always been so unique.

Su Mingyuan on the side bowed again and said, "Prime Minister Jiang."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Peiyuan just looked away, looked at Su Mingyuan and saluted: "Master Su, it's time to go back to the government office after the court. Are you here?"

Su Mingyuan bowed again and asked, "Prime Minister Jiang, it's difficult for me to be an official. I would like to ask my lord for advice. I hope that your lord will give me some advice."

Jiang Peiyuan smiled, and replied: "Oh, Mr. Su, tell me."

Su Mingyuan said again: "Prime Minister Jiang, the emperor arranged this job for the lower official this morning. The lower official is dull and doesn't know what to do for a while, so it would be more appropriate?"

Jiang Peiyuan smiled, and replied: "Master Su, the emperor must be interested in arranging an errand for you. Mr. Su is careful and careful in handling things."

"Master Su, since the errand is settled, you can follow the court's rules and regulations."

"According to the rules, there is always nothing wrong."

"No matter who runs the errand, they will ultimately serve the court and share the emperor's worries. Tell me, isn't that the case?"

Su Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Prime Minister Jiang, I understand."

Jiang Peiyuan smiled and said: "The prime minister still has some business to do, so I'll leave first."

With that said, he turned and left.

Su Mingyuan, who was standing at the same place, stared blankly at the figure going away, and then looked at the other side, it was Zhao Yukun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had already gone away.

At this moment, Su Mingyuan's eyes were full of doubts, but also deep in thought... Following the rules, there is always nothing wrong?What Jiang Peiyuan meant was to tell me to be careful and not let Zhao Yukun get caught?

Ink Garden, study room.

Qing Yu walked in, bowed and said back: "Master, the news from Mu Chen."

Mo Yi took the letter and looked down.

Qing Yu hastily turned around and retreated, with a smirk in her eyes... The master managed to coax the eldest lady well.He could have left more space to be alone, to them.

Seeing Qingyu leaving in a hurry, Xiao Jinxi was taken aback, and said, "Mo Yi, what's wrong with Qingyu? Now she runs so fast every time."

Mo Yi smiled and said, "Xi'er, don't pay attention to him. Come and see this."

"A few days ago, Zhao Yukun took a few days off due to illness. But he never thought that Emperor Mingxi would divide his powers today on the grounds that Minister of the Ministry of Officials is in poor health and should not work too hard."

Xiao Jinxi took the letter paper suspiciously, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, Emperor Mingxi actually gave Su Mingyuan the role of coordinating the imperial examination in the spring of next year."

"It seems that Emperor Ming Xi is quite dissatisfied with Zhao Yukun now."

Mo Yi smiled and continued: "The imperial examination affairs are managed by the Ministry of Rites, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has always been in charge of assisting."

"Although it is the responsibility of the assistant minister, it also participated in the selection of the imperial examination. The convenience in this is self-evident."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. In the early days of the Tianqi Dynasty, the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the imperial examinations."

"But later, due to the excessive concentration of power in the bureaucracy, they began to abuse their power, and there was a serious trend of favoritism and fraud."

"After being investigated and dealt with later, the management was transferred to the Ministry of Rites."

"However, the Ministry of Officials still bears the responsibility of co-coordinator. Although it is the co-coordinator's responsibility, the dragon sons of the past dynasties also valued this very much. And people in the officialdom dare not underestimate this point."

"But now, Emperor Ming Xi has given Su Mingyuan the right to act as an assistant."

"Is Emperor Mingxi doing this to flatter Concubine Su? Or is he trying to flog Zhao Yukun?"

Mo Yi smiled, and said: "These ministers are all left by Emperor Zongyuan's dynasty. It seems that Emperor Mingxi is starting to cultivate himself."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Well, that's right. From the current point of view, that's what it means."

"Back then, Zhao Yukun tried his best to curry favor with Emperor Ming Xi, and he did not hesitate to ask his daughter to inquire about the Marquis of Wu'an's residence time and time again."

"But now, it's nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket. It seems that he should be anxious again."

Mo Yi smiled, and replied: "Then Xi'er, you have to make Chu Yi take care of the mansion. Don't let them take advantage of it."

Xiao Jinxi nodded, and replied: "That's right. It's time to remind."

Mo Yi said: "If Xi'er needs manpower, Qing Feng can arrange it."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and said, "Not yet."

"Zhao Yukun repeatedly hit a wall in the Marquis of Wu'an's residence. Presumably, he can guess what Zhao Zhishan is thinking. Maybe, he will think of other ways."

Mo Yi nodded and replied: "Okay, I will follow Xi'er's arrangement."

As he spoke, he took Xiao Jinxi's hand and said, "Xi'er, let's go eat."

As he spoke, he led the woman out of the study room, and continued, "Xi'er, today the kitchen has made a lot of your favorite food. Let's ignore those things and eat well first."

Xiao Jinxi shook his head helplessly, and replied, "I'll be nagged by Luo Er again when I go back today."

"She always said that Mammy cooks a lot of dishes every day. But we never go back to eat, she can't finish it."

Mo Yi smiled, and replied: "It's okay, Luoer can't finish eating, just let Wei Mo eat with her."

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly when she heard the words, and replied, "Well, it makes sense. Then I'll tell her that next time."
