golden scales

When Lu Suyao sat drinking tea with Yao Tao again, she couldn't even believe her choice.

After some thought, she finally chose to find an ally among the female officers.

Yao Tao is the only female official with similar status and similar qualifications to her.

And no matter what, both of them were born under Aunt Liu's family, so they were somewhat in love with each other.

To say that there was a gap before is to put it bluntly just to argue for breath and has nothing to do with politics.Since it is possible to be involved in political disputes right now, we still have to support each other.

"Sister, I don't believe it. Is there no one to talk to my sister?" Lu Suyao was much calmer when facing Yao Tao, not as cautious as Liu Ruoyu.

"It's true that no one came to talk to me about these gossips." Yao Tao couldn't sit still, there were a lot of things in the household department, and her signature was required for important reports, and she had to do the calculations by herself if she felt wrong. , where do you have the time to listen to this?

"I'm really asking for my sister's advice. Why did I get involved in this kind of right and wrong?" Lu Suyao smiled helplessly: "Well, you say to ignore it, but it obviously has nothing to do with me. I don't know that Li Mingrui, and If you say you don't care about it, but you know it, you can't help but think: who is it, what kind of heart is it, what do you want to do with my sister's hand?"

Yao Tao took a sip of her tea, and suddenly said with a smile: "You are more blind than me, Mr. Tongzheng."

"Xiao Tongzheng?" Lu Suyao was taken aback.

"Look, let's see." Yao Tao smiled and said, "I only follow His Highness every day, so I don't understand the people's customs. Why didn't you hand in the book? Most of His Highness's decree was also passed down by you. This is not the general administration around His Highness." What is it?"

Lu Suyao couldn't help but straighten her back.Hearing this, his whole body was numb, but he said: "Don't play around with my little sister like this, how can a national magnate make such a joke."

"Hehe, the one who shaves his head outside is called Daizhao, the one who rings the bell is called doctor, and the one who serves tea and water is a doctor, who really cares?" Yao Tao said something, which meant to persuade Lu Suyao to do that.Don't be afraid to bear that name.

Lu Suyao didn't bother, said: "Even if it's a real envoy, it's not up to gossip, there must be a book."

"Wouldn't having a book make people talk?" Yao Tao picked it up and said again: "My good sister, I just advise you: If we don't have Qiantui to support us, then we are nothing. If you have any thoughts, Rather than thinking about it in private, it is better to talk to the Highness."

Yao Tao stood up.He walked out without saying hello.She remembered the scene when she left the inner palace, and Aunt Liu's warning of "forget us all".Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.Look down again.The official uniform of a fourth-rank civil servant is so eye-catching!

—Private, private!I can only gain a foothold if I abide by His Highness's private identity!

Yao Tao pinched her jaw tightly, reminding herself not to forget it even for a moment.

Lu Suyao echoed Yao Tao's reminder with Liu Ruoyu's, and her eyes suddenly brightened.Regardless of who is behind him and what his intentions are, the most important thing is to inform His Highness.Moreover, His Highness has long ordered the court to ban private transmission of news, and the news of personnel appointments is classified as confidential.Especially not lightly passed.

Since she was hit by a case, it is necessary to bring it to justice!

Lu Suyao collected her mood and went straight to Zhu Cihong's study.Taking advantage of her time, she strolled in as a secretary, paying respects.Said: "Your Highness, I have something to report."

"Say."

"Your Highness. Should the court secrets be handed over to Dongchang or Jinyiwei?" Lu Suyao asked.

"Dongchang." Zhu Cihong was simple and clear: "Jinyiwei is the sword that stabs out, and Dongchang is the heart mirror. What's the matter?"

"Oh, I'm just afraid of mishandling it."

"It's you who reported that someone privately rumored that Li Mingrui was the Minister of Dali Temple?" Zhu Cihong pointed out first.

Lu Suyao's whole body was like being electrified, and suddenly remembered that Ding Ao, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, was at the scene that day, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her body.

——It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Liu is still protecting me.

Lu Suyao thought to herself.

"In fact, you will encounter this matter in the future." Zhu Cihong said: "Don't be too nervous, now that the control of court ladies is relaxed, it is inevitable that outsiders will take advantage of the loopholes."

"Yes..." Lu Suyao lowered her eyes, feeling even more rejoicing in her heart: If Dongchang directly caught her subordinates without knowing anything about it, wouldn't it be worse?

"But since you asked, I have to tell you about it." Zhu Cihong waved to Lu Suyao, pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Suyao stepped forward and sat beside her, as if listening to instructions.

"Relax." Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Let's just treat it as idle talk."

Lu Suyao lowered her head and forced out a smile.

"Do you know the difference between an official and an official?" Zhu Cihong immediately asked again: "Since the Guochao has established the rule of three examinations for officials to be transferred to an official, but now there are only a handful of officials who become officials? On the contrary, Jinshiguan is everywhere. The world? Is it easier to be a Jinshi than to be an official for nine years? What is the reason for this?"

Lu Suyao waited for a while, and seeing that the crown prince really asked about the school, she answered, "Mostly because Jinshi is well-educated, and serving as a court official can better maintain the court's order."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said: "Cheng Zu also thought so. But according to me, it is because the requirements of officials and officials are different. Officials only need to be honest, capable, and diligent, and they are enough to be a follow-up official. However, officials are different. They Not only must have these three, but also must have a long-term vision.

"For example, there are two county magistrates. One of them just did a good job in the "County City Planning Document" and was excellent in the evaluation. The other not only led his subordinates to do the task at hand, but also got an excellent evaluation. The focus of the people's livelihood is the foundation of the people's livelihood, and making the best use of the situation will benefit the future.

"For these two people, the former is a capable official and is worthy of praise; the latter has touched the 'official way' and can become a real official." After Zhu Cihong gave examples, he said: "This is why Jinshi is valued. How many scums have been killed, but more Jinshi have the ambition of "benefiting the world and helping the people" in their hearts, and they know that they have to make some political achievements during their term of office, otherwise they will be ashamed of the heaven and earth, their relatives and teachers... Although many people have gone astray."

"I understand," Lu Suyao said rather lonely, "I can only be regarded as an official."

"This is also my problem." Zhu Cihong said, and Lu Suyao almost jumped up in fright.

"I've always liked to speak out, and I don't ask others for opinions on many things. You work hard under my management, and it's really not easy to show your foresight." Zhu Cihong is very clear that he is a dictatorial leader, which requires the ability of a secretary extremely high.What's more, Lu Suyao has a deep sense of superiority and inferiority, and it is impossible to think independently about the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Telling you this today is also to show you a way. First, learn to 'view the overall situation'." Zhu Cihong said: "Your position is the closest to the peak of Ming Dynasty among all the duties. If you don't look at the overall situation from this, it would be a waste .This time, Li Mingrui's job is to teach you how to be an official, just put your heart into it."

"Yes..." Lu Suyao was still a little confused.

Zhu Cihong is indeed not a good teacher.He said it was teaching, but he picked out a bunch of documents from the desk and pushed them to the front, letting Lu Suyao take them to read.

Lu Suyao left Zhu Cihong's study with a pile of open books and newspapers in her arms in a daze, returned to her office, sat down and read them slowly.

These texts come from all over the country, each of which has passed through the hands of Lu Suyao.More than [-]% of them were read by Lu Suyao in person, and the remaining [-]% ​​were written and submitted by her secretaries because the subject was humble.

——It doesn't matter at all!

Lu Suyao slapped the desk heavily, feeling a little impatient.

—Look again!

Lu Suyao bent down on the table again, and patiently classified these texts one by one according to their content, and finally divided them into seven major categories.

First, to impeach Wang Zhixin, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, for corruption and perverting the law.

Second, to impeach Wu Weiye, the magistrate of Huaiqing Prefecture, for being incompetent and incompetent, with low test scores.

Third, Li Mingrui, the procuratorate of Shandong Province, suggested that the three legal divisions of the Ming Dynasty should do their own work.

Fifth, accuse the left-behind officials of Nandu of accumulating prostitutes, being extravagant and unbearable for official duties.

Sixth, the impeachment of Jiang Dejing is not lawful and willful and reckless, which is a waste of public money.

Seventh, discuss the moral character of Huang Daozhou as a model in the world, please use it as an official, internally enough to be a counselor, and externally enough to be a governor.

——Do these seven things have anything to do with each other?Which one is implicated in me?

Lu Suyao's eyes tightened, but she still didn't have a clue.

"Sister Lu, please have some tea." An abrupt voice broke in, although it was sweet, it startled Lu Suyao.

On this one-third of an acre of land, even a female officer who really has a sisterhood with Lu Suyao has to politely call her "aunt".Unless she achieved Yao Tao's position, how dare she call her a sister.

Lu Suyao looked up at this court lady who dared to challenge her authority, but was choked up.

She had met this woman twice, and she was recommended by the eunuch Ding Ao, the admiral of the East Factory, and said she was very reliable.Because this backing is too big, who knows which eunuch's opponent it is?So Lu Suyao never entrusted her to do anything, but let her do it just to see where she could help.

So she came for a month, but the two of them didn't even have a word.

——Does it mean that she came here at this time?

Lu Suyao looked at the female officer hesitantly, put on a blunt smile, and said, "Thank you, Miss Yingyue."

Yingyue smiled so that her eyes were like crescent moons, revealing a burst of joy.Consciously or unintentionally, she cast her eyes on Lu Suyao's writing desk, immediately making Lu Suyao's face covered with frost.

Lu Suyao was about to reprimand her for being rude, but the female officer laughed and said, "So my sister is worrying about Qian Qianyi's affairs. No wonder I see my sister frowning these days."

Lu Suyao was taken aback, and looked at the six piles of divided texts again, but there was an open book on the top of each pile, but there was not a single word about Qian Qianyi.

——This is really a wave of ups and downs, does Qian Qianyi have anything to do with this place!

Lu Suyao was so dazed that she even forgot what she said to reprimand Yingyue.
