Li Mu took Yu Ruyi, looked at it, and put it aside casually, saying: "Since it is a family heirloom, why do I have to take it out? If I take it, wouldn't I take it away from others?"
"No, no, no, I am sincerely giving it to you!"
Li Mu smiled, picked up the jade Ruyi, handed it back, and said: "I already know your thoughts, but this heirloom, you should take it back. I am not short of money, and I will give and take bribes for it."
The wind is so disgusting!"
Yu Wengui didn't answer and said hurriedly: "Sir, this official has absolutely no such intention!"
"Then take it back too!"
Seeing that Li Mu had lowered his face, Yu Wengui had no choice but to take Yu Ruyi, as if he were mourning his concubine, sighed, and planned to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Hearing Li Mu's voice, Yu Wengui quickly raised his head, as if grasping the last straw, and said: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Well... you must have heard about what happened in the court today, right?"
Yu Wengui hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He was not sure what Li Mu was thinking, but this was the time to show his loyalty and he could no longer think too much. He said, "My lord, I have heard about it."
Li Mu glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"
Yu Wengui said without hesitation: "I am impressed by your courage. I will tell you the truth. I also came from a poor family. After more than ten years in office, I have been repeatedly suppressed by powerful families. I have not been promoted for nearly ten years. I am worried."
I hate it, but I don’t have the courage like a grown-up to dare to say it out loud. Your Majesty’s actions today really bring bad breath to the poor people in the world!”
"I am very pleased that you can think so." Li Mu said: "Although there is a little bit of turmoil between you and me, you have done a good job in the things I have entrusted to you. Therefore, I do not
I will argue with you about your previous mistakes. Just now you said that you have been an official for more than ten years. Does that mean you were already an official when you were in the previous dynasty?"
Yu Wengui said: "I dare not hide it, sir. The lower official and the Yuwen family of the previous dynasty were from the same lineage several generations ago. Otherwise, there would not be such a good Yu Ruyi. It's just that he was not a direct descendant but a concubine, and he didn't get much glory."
.In the previous dynasty, he participated in the imperial examination and became an official in the Ministry of Works. He worked as a chief official for two years. After the Supreme Emperor took control of Chang'an, the Ministry of Works and other unimportant yamen all used the officials of the previous dynasty. After three years of martial virtue, he was promoted to a lower official.
Yuanwailang, until today."
"Do you want to go further?"
Yu Wengui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes burst out with hot light, and his breathing became rapid, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't think so, but..."
"After I was promoted to the position of minister, there was a vacancy in the position of minister. Your Majesty has not made an appointment yet, so he still asked me to take care of it. I am afraid that the new person will not be in line with my wishes and delay the matters at hand. If I come to recommend you, Your Majesty
I will think that you are my confidant, and nine times out of ten I will appoint you as the doctor of the Ministry of Industry."
Yu Wengui knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to encourage you, Sir!"
"What are you doing? Get up."
Yu Wengui couldn't afford it, but Li Mu didn't care about him, so he asked him to kneel down and continued: "Things are not said, but done. I was still young when I came to the Ministry of Industry. In addition to the Department of Industry, the Ministry of Industry
, the others have never met him once, so they don’t know much about it. The Ministry of Industry is about to set up two new prisons, one is the Printing Supervisor, and the other is the Agricultural Equipment Supervisor. His Majesty attaches great importance to it. Moreover, these two prisons operate
Most of our affairs involve confidentiality, so we need people we can trust."
"I don't know much about the people in the Ministry of Works, but you have been working in the Ministry of Works for many years. I think you know exactly who you are and what your details are. I want you to submit a petition to submit all the people who work in the Ministry of Works within three days.
The details of the officials were compiled into a book and presented to me for review. After that, I asked you to submit a report to impeach some people. If you dare to do it and succeed, it will be your benefit. But if you mess up the matter, you can do it yourself.
Being imprisoned has nothing to do with me."
As he spoke, Li Mu slightly emphasized his tone and said, "Do you understand what I said?"
Yu Wengui had been immersed in the officialdom for many years, but he didn't understand what Li Mu meant. He was so shocked that cold sweat dripped down his back and soaked his clothes. Suddenly Yu Wengui felt his mouth was a little dry, licked his lips, and asked with difficulty: "Sir, what did you say?
The lower official can do the work. But how will the lower official know that after the matter is completed, the master will not abandon the official?"
Li Mu smiled when he heard this and said: "Yu Wengui, although I can give you a reassurance first, I am unwilling to do so. You can regard this matter as a big gamble, and you will bet on the rest of your life."
Ronghua, I have given you the opportunity. It is your business whether you dare to do it or not. I will give you three days. If you cannot complete it or dare not do it, after three days, I will do it.
Someone has been replaced."
Yu Wengui stared at the young man in front of him. He couldn't believe that he had such scheming and planning. No matter how he chose the decision before him, it was a very difficult thing for him. Yu Wengui took a deep breath and stood up.
He saluted and said, "Your Excellency, I am waiting for the good news from my subordinates."
"Okay." Li Mu nodded with a smile, called to see the guest off, and the concierge came over to take Yu Wengui to the door.
After watching Yu Wengui leave, Li Mu returned to the back house. There were a lot of green vegetables in the courtyard, and the maids and servants were carrying them back and forth. Li Mu looked along the queue and discovered that there was a vegetable hidden in the rockery in the courtyard.
The maids and servants are transporting green vegetables into the vegetable cellar.
Everyone is working, but there is only one person sitting on the rockery directing everyone, holding preserved fruit in his hand, looking very comfortable.
"Li Zhien, come down here!"
"Yeah!" When Li Zhien heard Li Mu's voice, he was so frightened that the persimmon in his hand almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly caught it, and was afraid that Li Mu would see it, so he quickly carried it behind him. At this time, Li Mu had already come closer and stared at Li Zhien.
Looking at it, he said: "Everyone is working, why are you lazy? What did you just eat? Take it out!"
"No, nothing..." Although Li Zhien can speak Guanzhong dialect, and since he came to Zhuluhou Mansion, his Guanzhong dialect has become more and more fluent. On weekdays, he is no different from a native of Chang'an, but whenever he is nervous,
She regained her Goguryeo flavor, and she sounded like she had a unique sense of "cuteness" that made it hard to get angry. Sometimes it didn't work for others, but in front of Li Mu, it worked every time. Originally, his anger
If it was a seven-point score, after hearing her accent, it suddenly became a three-point score, so that every time it was thunder and rain, Li Zhien was never really punished.
But this time, Li Mu was determined and decided not to let the little girl pass easily. He asked again with a tigerish face: "What are you eating? Why don't you take it out?"
