He was articulate and sincere, which relieved Mu Sheng of a lot of melancholy. Sitting on the horse, she smiled and lowered her head and asked: How is everything at home?

Everything is fine, especially two years ago, when Miss was promoted to Shangqing, even Jingzhao cared a lot about our mansion, and usually we don't even see a single flower.

Hearing that everything was fine at home, Mu Sheng was even more relieved, tightened the reins, and walked towards the city gate.

There were inspections when entering and exiting the city gates. Mu Sheng handed over his identity certificate. The soldier only took one look, then hurriedly bent his body low, almost hanging to the ground, and said respectfully, almost obsequiously: I have seen the above. Mr. Qing, Mr. Shangqing has arrived in Beijing. In the past few days, people from the Ministry of Rites have come to greet you outside the city.

After being promoted to Shangqing, Mu Sheng has been her sheriff in Lin'an all the time. On weekdays, people call her Fujun more often. She is used to it. Now when she sees a soldier guarding the gate salute her with such sincerity, she shows It was because of some unfamiliarity that he couldn't react, and when he heard what he said next, he felt something was wrong, and asked: "So, where are the people from the Ministry of Rites?"

Since she came here every day to wait, why was there no one on the day when she came back?Could something have happened?

The soldier scratched his head innocently, stretched his neck and looked out of the city, said: Exactly, why didn't those adults come today?

Before he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man in a scarlet official robe running from a distance.The man ran out of breath, saw Mu Sheng, hurriedly stopped, gasped for breath, swallowed his saliva hard, cupped his hands and apologized: I've lost my dignity.Zhang Yuangou, the head of the Ministry of Rites of the Xiaguan, pays his respects to Lord Shangqing.

After finishing speaking, he bowed to the ground and made a solemn gift.

courtesy.

Zhang Yuangou straightened up slowly, following this series of words and actions, he also slowed down, no longer panting.

He came suddenly, and it was very rude. The Ministry of Rites should wait outside the city early to welcome the ministers who are released, instead of rushing out a master to deal with them when the ministers enter the city, it is better not to welcome them.So, something must have gone wrong.Since something went wrong in the Ministry of Rites, and Mu Sheng's official position is more than a dozen ranks higher than him, he should take the initiative to be honest about the reason and get forgiveness, otherwise what will happen if he encounters a narrow-minded person who records a crime of neglect in his heart?

Zhang Yuangou just stood there quietly, holding his posture without saying a word.

No wonder this old man is still only a fifth-rank master. It can be seen that this adult is either not good at being a man or not being an official.Mu Sheng said to himself, sending such a person who can't wink, it can be seen that there is a big mess at the Ministry of Rites.

During the journey, she felt that the capital city was exhausted, and the Bo family drove a carriage to pick her up. She couldn't wait to get in the carriage, but because she was not at ease, she still supported the carriage and turned around and asked: Why is Mr. Zhang? Come in a hurry!

Zhang Yuangou immediately looked morally depraved and heartbroken, lowered his head, and said in shame, "Such scandals shouldn't have been announced, but Lord Shangqing's inquiry was caused by an accident with our Lord Shangshu, which involved many adults in the ministry. Now the Ministry of Rites Just because people were panicking, he paused, remembering the identity of the person in front of him, and hurriedly said: Your Majesty has a rule, only in the previous court, and has never affected the Zhengshitang.

While he was talking, his face was flushed, as if he was the one who did the illegal thing that almost involved the Ritual Department of the Political Affairs Hall.

Ministry of Rites?Mu Sheng thought about it, Min Shijie was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites a year ago, and he was the third rank, which can be said to be a prosperous official.The two-year picket that almost overturned the Jiangnan Salt Administration not only proved the filth of the Salt Administration, but also proved Min Shijie's incorruptibility. I feel that Min Shijie is not as calm and upright as he appears.

So, does the matter of the Ministry of Rites have anything to do with him this time?

Mu Sheng was engrossed in his thoughts, and suddenly Zhang Yuangou's voice sounded like he had just woken up from a dream: Look at my memory, I almost forgot!Lord Shangqing, His Majesty ordered you to see me tomorrow!

In a word, it immediately made Mu Sheng feel like being roasted by fire, like being soaked in ice water, unable to tell whether it was cold or hot, happy or sad.

The county guard's debriefing is in the form of a big exam, which is presided over by the Ministry of Officials. There are two exams.The big exam is scheduled for three days later, and after the exam, the emperor will receive him.His Majesty is busy with government affairs, so he will not see each other one by one, usually in batches.

Mu Sheng originally thought that she would be summoned by His Majesty after the final exam, but unexpectedly, the day of the audience came so hastily.

Early the next morning, Mu Sheng washed and changed her clothes, put on Zheng Yipin Shangqing's extraordinarily expensive and gorgeous crown robe, and entered the palace to have an audience.

There was a female official waiting in front of the palace gate, seeing her coming, the female official saluted respectfully.

She looks very familiar. There are countless people serving the emperor, and there are not a few high-ranking female servants who need to be used. Mu Sheng has seen many in the past.

While leading the way, the female officer introduced herself, her words were friendly but not flattering, making one feel like spring breeze.

Mu Sheng immediately thought of the chief officer from yesterday, and then looked at the color of the female officer's clothes, well, it's no wonder that yesterday's officer was of the same grade as this female officer who seemed to be only 25 or six.
