Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 443 Iron Face
Following the sound of a servant reporting that he had arrived home, Xue Lang withdrew his thoughts, jumped out of the carriage first, suppressed all his thoughts, looked up at Her Royal Highness the princess in the carriage, and said with pure joy in his heart: "I will carry you out of the carriage! "

His joy is beyond words, and there is no half of it.Princess Pingyang's eyes softened, and she nodded: "There is Mr. Lao Lang!"

Xue Lang said with a smile: "Holding a daughter-in-law is the right thing to do. If it's all hard work, then I'd like to have hard work for the rest of my life!"

If Princess Pingyang looked at him meaningfully, she asked softly: "Your Majesty's words come from the heart? As a wife, you will take it seriously!"

"Of course!"

Xue Lang didn't think too much, and responded heartily. He patted his chest as he spoke, and assured him: "Don't worry, I exercise every day. There shouldn't be many people who can win martial arts competitions, but they have a lot of strength. Hugging my wife... oh, It means daughter-in-law, wife, there is absolutely no problem in hugging a wife! Come on, come on, trust me!"

Princess Pingyang heard his words "trust me", her eyes trembled, and she stretched out her hand to him.With a bright smile on his face, Xue Lang stretched out his hand to hug him down carefully but firmly——

Thank you for the exercise habit you developed after traveling!Although the force value is so sluggish that it can be ignored, the physical strength and arm strength have made great progress due to the unremitting exercise.At least, the strength to carry Princess Pingyang back to the room is still enough!

Xue Lang directly carried the man back to the room and put him on the couch, he was just panting a little, his arms were a little sore, but he couldn't say he couldn't lift it up, panting and shaking his hands, with a look of begging for praise, he said with a smile: "How is it? Am I safe?"

Princess Pingyang smiled and nodded, raised her hand to touch his face, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said, "Are you on duty today? Come back and hang out with me, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at by your colleagues!"

Xue Lang said with a smile: "It's only natural to love your wife and children. If you want to laugh, you can laugh. There is nothing wrong with you except that you will blush from laughing! However, I only asked for an hour's leave. I have to go back. When I leave my job Come back to accompany you later, take a good rest and wait for me!"

Princess Pingyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, go quickly, don't miss the official business."

Xue Lang nodded, and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her on the lips. The kiss made people blush all over his face. After giving him a coquettish look, he returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs happily and went back to work.

As soon as Xue Lang went out, the smile on Princess Pingyang's face disappeared, she looked at a certain place, meditated silently for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Call the mother to come in."

"Here."

After a while, the nanny came in and said, "The old slave has seen the young lady. Hearing that the lady is pregnant, the old slave couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he knew it, he would burn incense and inform the lady on that day. However, the young lady should inform the lady herself of such a happy event. good!"

Hearing Mammy mentioned her mother, Princess Pingyang nodded with a smile, and said: "Thank you, Madam, I will burn incense for Auntie in the palace and report this matter."

"That's good! Niangziquan knows, so I should comfort you!"

Mammy's face was full of joy and relief, and she didn't hide it.Princess Pingyang smiled calmly, turned her eyes, and asked: "I'm not at home for three days, my son-in-law... don't know where to rest?"

The nanny is old and refined, and she knew what the princess cared about as soon as she heard it. She frowned and said: "My little lady, the son-in-law has been resting in the Duke's mansion for the past three days. As for whether there is anyone serving... I have not been reported. Or... Invite Xue Si and Rong to ask?"

Princess Pingyang said decisively: "No! Since I have given their husband and wife to the son-in-law, I will not interfere again. The son-in-law trusts me and only uses the person I recommended. How can I live up to the trust of the son-in-law! Besides, the husband and wife trust each other, isn't it true? To make the consort sad?"

"Here, the little lady is right, it's the old slave who is confused!"

Mammy apologized quickly.Princess Pingyang waved her hand and was silent.Momo quietly raised her head to look at her, and said, "Is this old slave going to the Duke's Mansion for a while?"

Princess Pingyang took a sip of the tea cup, noncommittal.The mother understood and saluted: "Little lady, take care of yourself, and this old slave will leave."

Princess Pingyang's eyes fluctuated slightly, she closed her eyes, and after two breaths, said: "Wait!"

Mammy just walked to the door, when she heard the sound and turned her head, Princess Pingyang said: "This matter... you don't need to intervene, I will ask my son-in-law."

Mammy was startled, and immediately responded respectfully: "Here, this old slave can save me!"

The nanny turned around, Princess Pingyang called people from all over the place to question, and the listeners reported on the situation in the mansion during the three days she was not in the mansion.

After Xue Lang sent people back to work, everyone he met along the way was smiling, and he was in a good mood.However, this emotion will disappear when I am working, it is really the problem of my subordinates——

Something doesn't feel right!I read it a few days ago, it doesn't seem to be written like this.

Xue Lang contemplated for a while, and said: "Changjian, help me report the stack of texts on the right side of the second station on the left shelf."

"Here!"

Xue Lang pulled out three copies of the text according to his memory, and compared them... Sure enough, they seemed to be written the same, but the meaning had completely changed.This is playing word games with him!

As a Shangguan, Xue Lang, in the two departments he is in charge of, requires the use of simple numbers for expressions and calculations when numbers are used, and also requires the use of punctuation marks in sentences, so that he, a Shangguan, can read and understand.

Three parts of the text were written by three people, and all made some specious mistakes.All three of them were brought together by Cangbe.The four divisions under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Finance originally belonged to Zuo Shilang, and Cangbu and Duzhi belonged to You Shilang.After the former servant was transferred, Xue Lang went to the post, Pei Ju made adjustments according to their respective directors, and the gold department and warehouse department belonged to Xue Lang.

Considering that Wang Xian was in charge of the warehouse department for a period of time, he must be on guard against others, and Xue Lang has always been very cautious about official affairs.

After pondering for a while, Xue Lang said: "Changjian, you go and tell the two divisions of Jinbu and Cangbu. After a moment, all the principals will gather at my place for a meeting. I have something to notify."

"Here."

Changjian went out to inform.A moment later, all the people in charge gathered in Xue Lang's office. Fortunately, at this time, the office was in the main hall, which was spacious enough.

When everyone arrived, Xue Lang first took the three copies of the text to Wen Minzhi, a doctor in the warehouse department, and Xue Lang specially underlined the places that needed Wen Minzhi's attention.Wen Minzhi changed his color when he saw it, and quickly saluted: "It's my subordinate's negligence, I didn't check it carefully, please punish me!"

Xue Lang said: "I don't care if your negligence is real or fake, these three documents will definitely pass through your hands when they are sent to me, making such a mistake... What do you want me to think? That's right, Ben The level of the official language is indeed not very good, the fact is so, I am not afraid of ridicule, if I say it face to face, I don’t necessarily care about you, use such shady methods... Although I am not talented, I am also the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs! , Wen Minzhi will be lowered by two grades in this year's assessment, we will check it out, if the performance improves at the end of the year, he will be promoted to one grade!"

"Here!"

Wen Minzhi was miserable: "This matter...although the subordinate did not notice the crime, but the minister's handling, the subordinate officials refused to accept!"

Xue Lang reprimanded directly: "I don't care whether you accept it or not. You are responsible for the things that are handed over to me. Of course, I will only punish you. As for whose fault it is to hand over to you, that is your fault." I don't care about who made a mistake or how, I will only find you who is connected with me! Do you understand?"

Xue Lang scolded with a straight face, quite dignified.Wen Minzhi opened his mouth, and finally only sighed, and replied: "Here! This subordinate should reflect on himself!"

Xue Lang ignored him, and directly said to the crowd: "After this incident, I hope that you will learn your lesson and do your best. If such incidents happen again, you should follow this example!"

"Here!"

After speaking, Xue Lang waved his hand and let the crowd disperse.Everyone exited the hall, some remained silent, some whispered——

"Xue Shilang is so ruthless. One year's evaluation of relationship promotion and merit evaluation directly lowered Wen Langzhong by two ranks. Even if he did a good job at the end of the year, he would still be demoted by one rank. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort for a year!"

"I think Xue Shilang's handling is very good. He is stern and clear. Didn't you see that a colleague was awarded an award last month? When working under Shangfeng like Xue Shilang, as long as he is willing to put his heart into it, he will naturally know. If someone wants to fool If you pass the test, you will naturally be unable to escape Xue Shilang's eyes, and you will be ruthless!"

"...Only the Cangbu people were punished this time, but Xue Shilang is targeting the Cangbu, intending to establish his authority and cleanse him?"

As soon as this guess came out, the person who was discussing with him stopped talking, looked at him with weird eyes, and cupped his hands to avoid——

Although he is a descendant of a famous family, his family is in decline and the family is poor. It is all supported by his work in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but those people have rich family resources to support them, so they have the leisure to talk about their rise to the top.

Xue Shilang is a person who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes!
