Chapter 623: The Ministry of Personnel
Not only Qi Yao, but also several ministers and disciples who came to practice had worried expressions on their faces.
"No, I still have things to deal with." Qin Junyu's tone was flat, in stark contrast to their sighs.
Qin Junyu was explaining the matters of the villa to the ministers, and Nian Susu was waiting on the side, looking at the stones on the ground boredly and kicking them from time to time.
"Junior sister, when will you come back?" A familiar voice came to my ears.
Nian Susu looked up and saw that Tengshe and Luwu had slipped beside her at some point, and Yingzhao was also walking slowly towards them.
In Tianxuan Villa, these are the only people she can talk to.
Perhaps it was because of their first meeting in the back mountain, although they had not had much contact in the past two days, they all had a good impression of this little junior sister. Upon learning that she was going down the mountain with the owner of the manor today, they came to see her off.
Nian Susu smiled and said, "I don't know. Let fate take its course."
She pretended to think deeply and said, "Maybe he will come back tomorrow... or maybe he will never come back."
Tengshe's face instantly fell, and he said bitterly: "Ah... why?"
Ying Zhao said faintly: "I don't want to see you."
“No way!” Teng She’s face became even uglier. He didn’t do anything excessive. At most, he just created an encounter and found topics to chat with his junior sister. How could he make her hate him?
Tengshe was puzzled, while Luwu laughed with glee.
"Junior sister, do you really hate me that much?" Teng She lowered his head sadly. It was the first time in all his years that he was hated by someone, and that person was his favorite junior sister. How could he let it go?
Nian Susu curled his lips awkwardly, "No... Senior Brother Yingzhao was just joking."
Ying Zhao: “I’m telling the truth.”
Years: ...
Qin Junyu appeared behind Nian Susu and said, "Let's go. We have said everything we need to say."
Tengshe no longer had the chance to ask clearly. Nian Susu said goodbye to them happily, and went down the mountain with Qin Junyu without looking back, looking so excited.
Tengshe could clearly feel that she didn't like it here.
After this farewell, perhaps, just as she said, we will never see each other again.
……
In late March, the spring sun was warm, the orioles were singing, the swallows were chirping, and the flowers were blooming. The city of Shengjing was overflowing with thriving vitality.
Royal study room.
The Minister of Rites Yang Liuliang and the Minister of Personnel Qiu Simiao tacitly came to report on the works on the same day. Qin Junyu had been free these days and spent most of his time practicing calligraphy and reading in the imperial study. He heard that one was preparing for the imperial examination and the other for the new policy, so fortunately he met them both.
The two adults were waiting at the door of the imperial study, and Lin Shoude had already gone in to report.
Although they were both ministers of six ministries, the two did not have much contact, because the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel each had their own responsibilities and rarely had business dealings, so they did not know much about each other. But this time it was because of one thing, and they had a conflict that needed Qin Junyu to resolve.
Yang Liuliang was a man of bad temper and straightforwardness. He didn't care about presenting things. When he had a dispute with the Ministry of Personnel, he blatantly gave Qiu Simiao the cold shoulder. Qiu Simiao ignored him when he greeted him and looked down on him.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Lin Shoude invited the two of them in.
Yang Liuliang was furious and walked in first with his sleeves lifted. Qiu Simiao shook his head helplessly and followed closely behind him.
At that time, Qin Junyu was practicing calligraphy. After the two of them exchanged greetings, he looked up and glanced at them. Without stopping, he smiled and said, "You two dear ministers are really in sync. You actually bumped into each other."
Yang Liuliang snorted angrily, breathing out through his nose, "What a bullshit tacit understanding, it's better not to have it!"
"If it weren't for the emperor's sake, I would have beaten up that bastard from the Ministry of Personnel long ago!"
With his hot temper and his tendency to use rough language at every turn, it is hard to believe that he is from the Ministry of Rites, and the boss of that Ministry.
Lin Shoude frowned upon hearing this and warned, "Lord Yang, be careful with your words! Don't offend the Emperor!"
Yang Liuliang couldn't swallow his anger, especially when he saw Qiu Simiao's submissive look, who didn't fight back or talk back when he was beaten or scolded, like a sandbag, he became even angrier.
Qiu Simiao lifted his robe and knelt down, saying sincerely, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
It was Yang Liuliang who cursed, it was Yang Liuliang who was warned, and it was he who knelt down and admitted his mistake.
Yang Liuliang was so shocked by this action that he stepped back repeatedly, staring with his eyes wide open and uttering the word "you" several times in disbelief, but he couldn't make any sense.
This move clearly puts him in an unkind and unjust position!
Although he disdained these nonsense, Qiu Simiao, this old fox, was too good at dealing with people, making him look like an ignorant fool, which made him very angry.
Yang Liuliang lifted his robe, fell to his knees with a plop, and said, "I have been disrespectful in front of your palace. Please punish me, Your Majesty," but there was no guilt on his face.
Qin Junyu stopped writing and looked at the two of them, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes, "Stand up, aren't you here to report? Do you want to kneel down and tell me?"
He put down his pen and sat down. Lin Shoude folded the rice paper he had written on and handed it to the palace servant beside him. The palace servant took it and put it into a large wooden box in the corner, which already contained many of Qin Junyu's "original works". Since he ascended the throne, he seldom had time to practice calligraphy in the imperial study, and this box had not been opened for a long time.
Yang Liuliang and Qiu Simiao were given seats and sat face to face with Qin Junyu. The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Qin Junyu's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally landed on Qiu Simiao, "Master Qiu, please speak first."
Qiu Simiao bowed to Yang Liuliang as if to show his intention, but the latter turned his face away with disdain, his face even darker than Bao Gong's.
"Your Majesty, the new policy was implemented a month ago, from the central government to the local governments, from officials to the common people, from the nobles to the poor, layer by layer, with saddles and steps, and with a good lead, in order to make the system "detailed" and the implementation "dynamic"! The policy will be "in place" and the implementation will "not get stuck"!"
"Let the capable take their place, and let the mediocre step aside!"
"As the saying goes, clear water will naturally cleanse the sand, and good officials will naturally eliminate bad ones!"
……
Qiu Simiao became more and more excited as he spoke. A beautiful scene of a beautiful country with peaceful rivers and seas, a prosperous people and a bright future for Liuli gradually emerged in his mind.
Qin Junyu held his forehead with his hand and said, Qiu Simiao was good in every way except that he looked at things too idealistically. He was a traditional Confucian idealist.
"Lord Qiu! Get to the point." Qin Junyu had no choice but to interrupt him. Otherwise, if he continued talking like that, even an hour would not be enough for him to "realize his grand plan."
Yang Liuliang was already unhappy, and now he was even more disdainful.
Qiu Simiao stopped and realized that he had said too much, and his face turned red. Whenever he talked about a topic that he was interested in or was good at, he would enter a state of "selflessness" that others did not understand and could not enter.
He cleared his throat and said briefly: "During the implementation of the new policy, many local officials were dismissed. Now many positions are vacant, which has resulted in many documents not being approved and the process being unable to proceed, thus affecting the implementation of the new policy. This is a big problem."
