Chapter 1136: The Ministry of Punishment takes office
After returning to the Shangshu Mansion, the Second Young Master has been frowning. Originally, he was just worried about his marriage to Yanran, so he obeyed His Highness Pluto's instructions. But tomorrow he will go to the Ministry of Punishment to take up his post, but he knows nothing about it. He knows
If it hadn't been for His Highness Pluto's recommendation, how would he have had the chance to take up the position in the Ministry of Punishment.
However, since he had already agreed, he couldn't act casually. After all, he couldn't embarrass His Highness Pluto.
Fuzi saw the distress of the second young master and whispered: "Master, why are you so distressed? Our master has been in the court for many years and must know about the Ministry of Punishment. I think you might as well go and ask the master for advice."
The second young master's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought when did Fuzi become so smart. So, regardless of the time, he ran to the main courtyard.
"Master, the second young master is standing in the yard. He said he wants to ask to see you." Nanny Lan said in a low voice.
"Xian'er? Why is he here so late?" Master Shangshu asked in confusion.
Mrs. Shangshu also looked puzzled and said, "Xian'er is rarely so reckless. I believe something really happened. I think you should go and take a look."
Master Shangshu nodded and asked Aunt Lan to invite the second young master in.
The second young master entered the outer room, saw Lord Shangshu, and said impatiently: "Father, Xian'er wants to ask you something about the Ministry of Punishment."
"Xingbu?" Mr. Shangshu was a little surprised. This son has been smart since he was a child, but he has great ideas. Because he is used to freedom, it is not easy for Mr. Shangshu to control him. Especially things in the officialdom, he has never been interested.
What happened today? The sun came out in the west?
"Father? That's right, it's the Ministry of Punishment." The second young master thought his father didn't hear clearly, so he hurriedly explained.
"Why are you suddenly interested in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice?" Lord Shangshu was very curious.
"Father, I know that your relationship with Uncle Baili is a bit tense, but you know my feelings for Yanran, and we will never be separated. Therefore, I will definitely marry Yanran back. But His Highness Pluto said that I am idle all day long.
, Uncle Baili is definitely not willing to marry his daughter to me. So, now there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Punishment for me to take up the post." The second young master said seriously.
Lord Shangshu was a little surprised that Feng Mingye was so broad-minded. In fact, in his heart, Feng Mingye was the one who should inherit the throne. However, His Highness Pluto seemed really not interested in the throne.
And he had angered His Highness Pluto. Logically speaking, His Highness Pluto would not use the Xu family anymore. But what surprised him was that His Highness Pluto actually gave the vacancy in the Criminal Department to Xian'er.
"You have said so much, but you have already agreed?" Master Shangshu asked.
"Yes, I agreed. Because I will take office early tomorrow morning, but I don't know much about the Ministry of Punishment, so I have to come here to ask you for advice." The second young master said.
Master Shangshu smiled helplessly. He knew Xian'er's stubbornness very well. When Ziming ran away from home, he planned to train his son. Unfortunately, he was not interested in this at all.
This is great, in order to get my wife back, I immediately agreed to His Highness Pluto's proposal.
Lord Shangshu said: "His Highness Pluto trusts you, so he asked you to fill this vacancy. You can't give up halfway and waste His Highness Pluto's trust in you."
"Father, the reason why my son is so anxious to come to you is because he doesn't want to betray His Highness Pluto's trust in me." The second young master thought for a while and said.
The second young master really wants to ask the Lord Shangshu for advice, because since he has chosen this path, he must go on seriously.
Master Shangshu admired Feng Mingye's method very much. He used many methods to hope that his son would obey his words and enter the officialdom, but in vain. Unexpectedly, a few words from Master Pluto would make him change his original intention.
So, Lord Shangshu took the second young master to the study, and the two of them chatted in the study for an hour.
Early the next morning, the second young master went to the Ministry of Justice to report.
Feng Mingye entered the palace for the first time. Of course, he did not go to the morning court, but waited for Ye Tianmo in the imperial study room.
Sure enough, after Ye Tianmo finished his morning court and heard the report from Eunuch Nian, he went directly to the Imperial Study Room.
"Brother Emperor, you are finally here." Ye Tianmo said with a smile.
"Isn't that what you meant?" Feng Mingye said while sitting.
"Shall I agree to Lord Shangshu's request for a dictionary or not?" Ye Tianmo asked.
"Do you still need to ask me about such a thing? You have handled the government affairs very well these days. I believe this matter is not difficult for you." Feng Mingye said.
Ye Tianmo didn't expect Feng Mingye to praise him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"I know." Ye Tianmo said helplessly.
"I arranged for Xu Zixian to go to the Ministry of Punishments. You should know what to do, right?" Feng Mingye instructed him.
Ye Tianmo suddenly realized that he knew what choice he should make. He had to agree to Master Shangshu's resignation, and of course he had to start training Xu Zixian at the same time.
"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your advice." Ye Tianmo said.
"Let's talk about Bai Liyu. He is very smart. I heard that his results in this scientific examination are also good. I will leave him to you. You can take care of the arrangements." Feng Mingye said.
"Yes." Ye Tianmo responded.
"What else can you do to trick me into the palace?" Feng Mingye asked.
"Brother Imperial, you haven't gone to court for a long time." Ye Tianmo said.
"I will never go to court again. My father has already handed over the Nanzhao Kingdom to you." Feng Mingye said.
"You are still the regent." Seeing that Mo's explanation didn't make sense, Ye Tianmo immediately remembered the imperial edict.
Feng Mingye glanced at Ye Tianmo, thinking that Ye Tianmo might have been too busy recently. He stood up and ignored Ye Tianmo, and went straight out of the palace.
Ye Tianmo didn't know what Feng Mingye meant, but the look in Feng Mingye's eyes before leaving told him that he seemed to be in trouble.
So, in the next few days, he was so busy that he had no time to think about Feng Mingye going to court. Ye Tianmo, who was sitting in the imperial study room handling political affairs, regretted bringing up the matter of going to court with Feng Mingye.
.
Feng Mingye took the time to meet Xu Ziming again and said to him: "I have assigned your brother to the Ministry of Punishment. If you stay in the capital, who will take care of your parents in the future?"
Xu Ziming knew that his sisters would always get married, and his third brother only knew how to eat, drink, whore, and gamble, leaving his father and mother to his third brother. He couldn't rest assured at all.
Feng Mingye saw Xu Ziming's confusion and said to him: "The other courtyard in the west of the city is not small, and the house next to it is also my property. Why don't you move to the west of the city."
The villa in the west of the city was very large, and he only occupied one courtyard. What he didn't expect was that the house next to the villa was also the property of His Highness Pluto.
And His Highness Hades actually asked his family to move to another courtyard in order to take care of him.
"I never joke. Zixian is not married yet, so you should consider it for him. Instead of buying another house, it is better to live directly in the west of the city." Feng Mingye thought for a while and said.
Xu Ziming didn't know what to say. He never thought that Feng Mingye would make such a decision. But he had been with His Highness Pluto for five years, but he had never done anything for him.
"Your Highness Pluto, how can my subordinates always receive your favor?" Xu Ziming said.
"I have already made arrangements, and Bai Lichen will take you there when the time comes. This is the land deed for the courtyard in the west of the city. I have passed it to your name. You should keep it." Feng Mingye put the land deed on the table.
superior.
How could Xu Ziming dare to accept it? He hurriedly said: "The prince has already shown mercy by letting his family live in another courtyard. How can he accept the land deed?"
"If you don't want the land deed, don't follow me. Think carefully before making a decision." After Feng Mingye finished speaking, he left the front hall.
How could Xu Ziming leave His Highness Hades? He had no choice but to pick up the land deed and leave the palace.
Lord Shangshu's imperial edict was quickly sent to Shangshu's Mansion, which stated that he agreed to Lord Shangshu's resignation. After Lord Shangshu saw off Eunuch Nian, he arranged for his servants to pack their things and prepare to leave the capital at any time.
"Father, my son has something to discuss with you," Xu Ziming said.
Lord Shangshu has felt much more at ease since he issued the imperial edict. Therefore, he has been in a very good mood these days. Seeing Xu Ziming looking at him seriously, he asked with a smile: "What is it, so serious?"
Xu Ziming thought for a while and then said: "Father, do you want to continue living in the capital?"
Master Shangshu said: "Originally, your mother and I had discussed taking Elder Yin and You'er with us to leave the capital. In fact, I had already planned to go to Yaowang Valley. But I left Xian'er alone.
Your mother will definitely be worried in the capital. But you also know that your father has resigned, and now you have no choice but to leave the capital. Besides, after half a month from the Shangshufu, someone from the government will come to take it back."
"Father, in fact, if you want to stay, it's not that you don't have a place to live. Pluto gave me the other courtyard in the west of the city so that we can have a place to live in the capital. Think about Xian'er too. If he really
You want to marry a girl from the Baili family, how can you not even have a decent house? I have also heard about Aunt Yin. You can go to the Hades Mansion to discuss with Aunt Yin, and His Highness Pluto will not refuse.
You go in." Xu Ziming murmured.
"His Royal Highness Pluto gave you the courtyard in the west of the city?" Master Shangshu asked in shock.
I originally thought that Lord Pluto did not want him to appear in the capital, but what I didn't expect was that he actually gave the villa in the west of the city to Ziming. Of course, His Highness Pluto's favor was not just that, but also Xian'er's official position. How could he react to His Highness Pluto's actions?
Are you getting more and more confused?
"Well, father heard it right, His Highness Pluto did give me the other courtyard, and even gave me the land deed." After Ziming finished speaking, he took the land deed out of his arms and put it in the hands of the Master.
Lord Shangshu opened it and looked at it. When he saw that it was really a land deed, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"You have collected the land deed." Lord Shangshu returned the land deed to Xu Ziming.
He had promised Yin Meier before that the family would leave the capital and go out for a walk. But in just a few days, he was about to change his mind. Will Yin Meier forgive him?
Of course, he didn't want to deceive Yin Meier, but it happened for a reason, and he hoped that Yin Meier could forgive him.
"Father, you can go and discuss this with your mother first," Xu Ziming murmured.
Lord Shangshu nodded, turned around and returned to the house. After Xu Ziming watched Lord Shangshu enter the room, he remembered Feng Mingye's words.
