Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who had offended Lin Ziyan, also chimed in, "Yes, if Lin Dushi gets promoted, don't forget about us colleagues."

After listening to the two men's words, Lin Ziyan said humbly, "You two adults, there is no need to test me. I, Lin Ziyan, am just a seventh-grade official. Even if I am promoted, I will not be able to occupy the same place as these two adults."

In the past two years, Lin Ziyan had received a lot of praise and awards, but the emperor never said anything about promotion.

Lin Ziyan understood that the emperor wanted to check and balance.

After all, it is well known that the goddess does not want to see him. If his official position is too high, he may be dissatisfied with the goddess or be disadvantageous to the goddess.

But although this position of general manager sounds like it has the power to assist, it is actually just a casual job, doing thankless things, and occasionally having to take the blame.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue gave him sincere words of comfort, "Don't feel sorry for yourself, Lin Du. You are talented, and you are impeccable in your work. You are deeply loved by His Majesty. Maybe one day you will be able to sit on the position of Inspector Zuo Yushi and be equal to me." Where is Qi?"

When the Minister of Household Affairs said this, the right censor passed by and said coldly, "A person who is despised by the goddess still wants a high official and a good salary? Are you dreaming?"

"A person like this who can only dream is worthy of being a frog in a well, keeping company with the mud."

After the right censor finished his sarcasm, he strode away. Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance comforted him calmly, "You censor has such a bad temper. Don't take his words at face value."

The Minister of Civil Affairs agreed, "Yes, don't worry about it."

The right censor is Lin Ziyan's immediate boss. If his boss hears that he wants to be in a higher position and be on an equal footing with the other party, he will not be allowed to trouble him often in the future?

He now understood clearly that these two people came to compliment him on the surface, but in fact they wanted to frame him and make You Yu Shiji hate him.

But Lin Ziyan didn't understand why these two people, who were second-level executives, had to go to such lengths to deal with an inconspicuous official like him?

"Two ministers, thank you for your troubles. I have no intention of replacing the censor, and I won't take the censor's words to heart. I have to go back to deal with some chapters, so I won't accompany you."

He doesn't focus on the position of the censor because his goal has never been the censor, but the position of chief assistant.

Xuezhuyuan study room.

Lin Ziyan looked at the miscellaneous chapters, mostly trivial things.

He carefully reviewed and organized, and when he heard two long and one short knocks on the door, he answered without raising his head, "Come in."

A tall man wearing a blue-grey training uniform walked up to Lin Ziyan and reported, "Master, the officials involved in the bandits in Qinghe County have been identified. Here is the list."

The man presented the list of names to Lin Ziyan. He glanced at it roughly and said, "It's exactly as I guessed. This Qinghe supervisor accepted bribes from bandits and sat idly by, causing the local people to live in dire straits."

"The local county magistrate did nothing, colluded with the supervisory envoy, and officials protected each other. A verdict should have been made long ago."

"However, the others on this list will not be reported. Only one person, Supervisor Qinghe, will be reported."

The subordinate was puzzled, "Why? If only one person is reported to the supervisor, the others who slipped through the net may be alert."

"Su Qing, although this supervisory censor is on the same level as me, the power he holds is much higher than mine."

"Although the things I have done over the years have been appreciated by His Majesty, he has always had scruples and only commended me but not given me rewards."

"If I want to be promoted, what I do must be recognized by the people, so that His Majesty can promote me, and the rest of the list is the stepping stone on my road to promotion."

If he catches them all in one fell swoop, even if he becomes a supervisory censor, he will have no merit to be gained, so he has to leave some fish that have slipped through the net and use them from time to time to attack the emperor's concerns.

"My subordinate understands. Then, as before, secretly reveal the news to You Yushi?"

"Well, you go down and do it."

After his subordinates left, Lin Ziyan had other headaches.

The emperor was unwilling to promote him, and he was afraid that the transfer would not fall on him, so he had to find some helpers and ask the emperor for help.

Who can I turn to?

In this court, there were many people who were against the goddess because of her name. The rest of the people also looked at the emperor's eyes, and there were probably only a few who could speak for him.

Most of those people were neutral. If they helped him, it would be equivalent to going against His Majesty. They were afraid that they would not do such a thankless thing.

Could it be that he wanted to ask Dai Ke for help?

But after all, Dai Ke was not the original Sixth Princess. Even he could detect Dai Ke's change, so the emperor, as a father, must also be able to detect the abnormality.

It would be better for her to have less contact with the emperor.

After thinking over and over again and eliminating all options, there was only one feasible option left in his mind.

With Hua Ruoyun's help, Dai Ke's reading speed today is much faster than before, and it is rare for him to return before nightfall.

In the evening, the two of them got off the carriage together and talked and laughed under the sunset.

The scene outside the mansion quickly spread throughout the entire princess mansion.

The servant on duty in the courtyard said, "Have you heard? Today the princess and Hua Fuzi returned to the mansion together. This scene seems to have been a long time ago. I haven't seen it for a long time."

"Yes, since the princess and the consort got married, the two of them rarely get together to avoid suspicion."

"What a pity. Although Hua Fuzi and Princess were master and apprentice, they were also a good story in the capital. I didn't expect that things in the world are unpredictable!"

"It's just that this prince-in-law usually puts on airs and is not at all considerate of his servants. He relies on the princess's palace and hasn't been promoted in two years. No wonder he is disliked by the princess."

"That's right, our princess is a goddess, so she should be matched with a gentle and kind-hearted person like Hua Fuzi, the kind of prince-in-law... tsk tsk!"

Lin Ziyan, who had just opened the door a crack and was about to go out, heard the chatter of his servants, but his expression did not change much.

He likes to be clean, so Xuezhuyuan has no one to serve him except one boy who was hired before he was the top scholar in high school.

These two people on duty were transferred by Dai Ke after he moved into Xuezhuyuan.

And he didn't like to deal with people very much, and he didn't even say a few words to the servants in the princess's house. In their eyes, this kind of behavior became just pretentious?

In the officialdom, he has heard a lot of criticisms from his superiors. This is the first time that he has heard the comments about him from his subordinates.

However, he is not someone who cannot bear criticism. On the contrary, he likes this kind of evaluation, because he can find his own shortcomings from it, so that he can correct them and encourage them.

He was listening to the gossip with great interest, when suddenly a scolding sound caused the corner of his mouth to rise.

"You are just working as servants in the princess's mansion. Don't you think of yourself as the master of the princess's mansion?"

"The prince-in-law is the male master of the princess's mansion. You are chewing his tongue here because you feel that your life is too long and you want to be reincarnated as soon as possible, right?"

Dai Ke walked up the two-tenth step today. She came back happily, but she heard this group of people scolding her.
