After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

"Lin Shuchen."

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I appoint you as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works and Water Resources. On a chosen day, follow the Minister of Works to Zeshui County to provide disaster relief."

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

"Shi Ce."

"Wei Chen is here."

"I order you to be the head of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Treasury."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

"Xie Boyuan!"

"Wei Chen is here."

At this time, Bai Yuan began to panic. He had just heard that the positions of the top two scholars were not high. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be good enough for him to be promoted to the next level.

But unexpectedly, the emperor's words left him dumbfounded.

"I appoint you as the Minister of Personnel, in charge of all personnel transfers in the court."

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him, "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you!"

"Yes." The emperor smiled slightly, "Please stand up. The positions of the other 27 ministers will be decided by the crown prince. If there is nothing else, we will adjourn the court."

"I will send you off to the emperor respectfully."

At this moment, Prime Minister Liu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Prime Minister, please speak."

"I think it is inappropriate for Minister Xie to be promoted to a high position at such a young age. It is difficult for him to gain the trust of the ministers in the court."

"Your Majesty, I also feel that this resolution is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

But the emperor seemed exceptionally calm, as if he had already anticipated these people's opposition.

"I am truly pleased that you, my dear ministers, have the courage to give me advice. However, the appointment of Minister Xie is the result of careful consideration between me and the Crown Prince."

"Xie Baiyuan is young and promising, and has devoted himself to the court. If you are worried, you can set up a one-year probation period. If Xie Baiyuan is not competent for this position, I will personally dismiss him. How do you think?"

The emperor has already made concessions, so naturally the ministers dare not go any further.

"Your Majesty is wise. This is a very appropriate move."

"Well, if nothing else, I'll leave."

After the court session, the ministers talked about each other behind his back.

"He was promoted to the position of Minister of Personnel at such a young age? This is the first time since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"That's right. Who is this Minister Xie? Did he give His Majesty some kind of drug that makes him ecstasy?"

"She has the support of the eldest princess. If you have the ability, you can ask your son to steal her away. Maybe he can become a minister."

"Humph! How can the Wu family use such a despicable trick? Lord Xu, why don't you offer your little daughter to the prince? From now on, the Xu family may rise to prominence."

"Hey! Why are you like this?" Believe it or not, Lord Xu actually had such an idea. He would go back in the next few days to persuade his daughter to hang around in front of the prince more often.

"Please don't be impatient, my Lords. Let's wait and see what happens. I don't believe that a 20-year-old calf can make any contribution to the court."

"Yes."

Bai Yuan walked slowly behind, and the rumors from the ministers did not cause much ripples in his heart.

He recalled what his mother had said a few days ago, as if she had already known that he would hold a high position.

A few days later, Eunuch Huang arrived at the Xie family with the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Xie Boyuan is a man of extraordinary talent, well-read, and a role model for the court. I hereby appoint Xie Boyuan as the Minister of Personnel."

"Give Xie Baiyuan 10,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver. And give his mother Yun Zhihan, his younger sister, and his younger brother 10,000 taels of silver each to show the beauty of his family tradition. I decree this."

"I thank your majesty for his grace!"

"Thank you, Minister, please accept the order."

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang."

"It's okay. I just came here to pass on the emperor's order. Congratulations to Minister Xie. You are the youngest minister since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Eunuch Huang, you are too kind." Bai Yuan took out a bag of gold and silver ingots and put them in his hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Huang. Come in and have a cup of tea?"

"Oh." Huang Desheng took out his purse with a smile and declined, "Forget it today. I still have to go to the next house to announce the imperial decree. Let's do it next time."

"Eunuch Huang, take care."

After everyone left, the happiest person was Xie Baijin. He didn't expect that the emperor was so good to them. Not only did his eldest brother become rich, but he could also get a share of the pie.

Yun Zhihan saw through her thoughts at a glance, squinted his eyes and said, "Do you know what your current status is?"

"What, what do you mean?" Bai Jin had a bad feeling.

"Don't forget, you are a girl now. Give 10,000 taels of silver to Yunyan."

"Why?" Bai Jin wanted to cry but had no tears. She had finally saved some private money, but she had to give it to her cousin? Her mother was too partial.

Yunyan also felt it was inappropriate and declined, "Aunt, Yunyan doesn't need so much money, so let my cousin keep it."

"Mother, listen, since my cousin has said so, please show some mercy." Mother is more domineering than the emperor.

"Okay, since Yan'er said so, let's do it this way for now."

"Thank you, Mom." Bai Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He was able to keep his own little treasury. He still had to prepare for escape in the future.

Yun Zhihan knew what her daughter was thinking, but she was also afraid that the child would lose patience and take action prematurely, so she had to prepare countermeasures.

"Yuan'er, follow mother back to the house."

"Yes!"

After returning to the house, Bai Yuan couldn't wait to get his mother to praise him.

Yun Zhihan naturally cooperated as well.

"Yuan'er is now the pride of the Xie family. You have done a great job."

"It is because of what my mother and father taught me since I was young that I have achieved what I have today."

Yun Zhihan nodded and reminded, "Yuan'er, your promotion to a high position today is a gift and appreciation from His Majesty. But serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, so you must not let your guard down for even a moment."

"My son understands."

"The rise of the Xie family is bound to cause changes in the court. The crown prince is about to ascend the throne. Now is the best time for you to display your talents."

"Please tell me clearly, mother!" Bai Yuan couldn't guess what his mother was thinking.

"It is your important task to help the Crown Prince eliminate the evil of Prince Fenyang. But at the same time, you cannot offend all the ministers in the court. One person cannot get an official position and take money at the same time."

"Mom, what you mean is..." Bo Yuan paused, "Your son wants to give away his money?"

Yun Zhihan nodded with satisfaction, "You can't have the ambition of King Fenyang, but you must have his wisdom."

"Thank you for your advice, Yuan'er will do it right away."

"Okay, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me."

Bai Yuan suddenly had an idea. "Mom, I want to hold a banquet at Yunsheng Restaurant. Can you arrange it?"

Bringing these ministers together is the best way to observe their attitudes, especially when they have a few drinks, as it is easy for them to speak the truth after drinking.

"Don't worry, Yuan'er, mother will make sure everything is ready."

"Thank you ma'am."

After Bai Yuan went out, he distributed the silver he had obtained, and used part of it to help the victims.

All the gold will be given to the eldest princess, just like mother said, to make her feel safe. The last part is for the banquet, mother can't lose money.
