38

A busy month passed like this, and Zheng Youshun returned to Guiyang.

"Zheng Youshun."

Hearing the king's voice, You Shun sat on the chair and bowed with his hands together, while lowering his head slightly.

"In view of your achievements in Chazhou, I would like to appoint you as Minister of Shangshu and concurrently as Prime Minister. What do you think?"

"If Your Majesty can accept the minister's conditions—"

"……condition?"

"yes.

First, benevolence and righteousness must be the most important thing in governing the people;

Second, don't randomly send troops to make unnecessary conquests;

Third, authority and status must not be granted on the grounds of noble status;

Fourth, do not arbitrarily increase official positions that are not stipulated in the legal provisions;

Fifth, we must strictly enforce the law against those who take advantage of His Majesty's majesty to commit crimes;

Sixth, we must try to block the way of accepting bribes;

Seventh, tax money should not be used to build redundant Taoist temples and palaces;

Eighth, it is necessary to clarify the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and the courteous treatment of his subordinates;

Ninth, we must accept advice widely;

Tenth, after His Majesty gets married, foreign relatives are not allowed to intervene in political affairs..." All ten fingers of You Shun were bent down, "If Your Majesty promises to abide by the above ten rules, I will be willing to accept the position of Shang Shuling. "

"...I promise you alone."

Hearing this slightly trembling voice, You Shun showed a knowing smile.He picked up a pure white feather fan from the lacquered plate held up respectfully by the lower official.The button tied on the handle is made of purple forbidden color and seven other quasi-forbidden colors.It is a certificate that only those who have entrusted the country to the king are allowed to have. "Then, I will accept it. Your Majesty, I would like to accept the Minister's Order and the position of Prime Minister."

Therefore, the work of the official department was reduced a lot, and Jiang You was able to return to the government on time.And Yunji finally finished processing the pile of official documents.On this day, Jiangyou invited Yunji to the treasury.

"Master Jiangyou, what is Master Li Shen thinking? I always feel that Yu Shitai is already paying attention to him." Yunji asked casually while playing the pipa.

Jiang You's face was exhausted: "I can't guess either. Yunji, do you have time tomorrow? In the afternoon we will go to the street to look for Biyou Valley. I heard that he has come to Guiyang."

"I'm afraid not." Yunji shook her head, and then played a brisk tune, "The household department is very busy. Although Huang Shangshu was not informed about the counterfeit coins, he seems to have noticed."

Jiang You relaxed: "No need to apologize." She closed her eyes and listened quietly to Yun Ji's pipa.

Yunji stopped and said, "Master Jiangyou, Yunji will not leave the Hong family. If you get tired, you can rely on me." Plucking the strings again, a soul-stirring "Cangxuan" poured out, resounding through the air. The entire royal city.

In Xiandong Province, Yu Yu showed a gratified smile and muttered to herself: "Ji Hongyun, what a smart child."

Under the door, Wang Ji put down his pen and looked towards the treasury: "Is this the 'Pipa of Blood' resounding across the Jiucai River? Hong Yunji, I just hope you and I don't stand on the opposite side."

You Shun was taken aback by Shang Shuling's executive room, "Although the pipa is used, the person who interpreted "Cang Xuan" in this way should not be alive anymore. Who could it be?"

Hubu, Fengzhu took off her mask and held it in her hand: "Yunji, what are you thinking?"

Inside the treasury, behind a row of bookshelves.Shao Ke listened quietly: "As expected of Hong Yun Ji, the 'Pipa of Blood' is second only to the 'Pipa of Death' that has been handed down secretly from generation to generation in the Hong family. It's a pity that I won't be able to hear it soon. Yun Ji also knows This is why we are now playing unscrupulously." Turning to the bookshelf, he signaled Yun Ji not to stop, and sat gently at the table.

"Yun Ji, I'm very sorry for giving you this shackle. You can choose to be free now." Shao Ke said softly.

The sound of Yunji's piano continued: "I can't leave. If I lose my surname Hong, I will lose the meaning of existence. Hongyunji was born for the Hong family, and died for the Hong family."

"Even if the surname Hong will become an obstacle to your official career?"

"At that time, I will choose the Hong family without hesitation." Yunji was very firm, "My wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets even if I resign now. I only hope that Miss Xiuli can do whatever she wants."

"Lily really picked an excellent Yunji who is too much." Shao Ke sighed softly, his eyes became extremely sharp in an instant: "Then, I order you: keep your official position at all costs. Do you understand? ?”

After Yun Ji played "Cang Xuan", she immediately continued to "Cang Yao Ji", "Yes, Master Shao Ke. I would like to ask, do you plan to control the Hong family in the near future?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. You should think about how to climb up faster. The higher the official position, the better for the Hong family." Shao Ke got up and left.

That night, the sound of the pipa continued.In the royal city, many people stayed up all night, sitting at the table and thinking quietly.

This night, everything quietly changed.A few days later, the cases of fake paintings and counterfeit coins were solved.

Since then, Jiang You has been busy dealing with official documents that are constantly squeezed by the bureaucracy, and it is difficult to stay with Liu Hui.Yun Ji worked silently in the household department, and suddenly became extremely inconspicuous.

Zheng Youshun took office for one month, and at the meeting of prime ministers, he decided to investigate redundant officials, and at the same time rejected the proposal on tea, salt and iron in the peak season.

When Yunji heard the news from Fengzhu, she smiled slightly and refused to comment.It's just that Fengzhu assigned Yunji much less work, as if she was tacitly allowing herself to do something.

After finishing a day's work, Yunji went to the redundant official room that was said to have been tidied up by Xiuli.
