Chapter XXVIII

After learning that she was the first female official, and she was also the first person to be named an official at the age of twelve, and even more so, she was the first person to become a third-grade official without taking any examiner exams, Nangong Xue felt a little uncomfortable, which was a bit unexpected for her, she really didn't want to bubble up because of this transformation plan, she just wanted to be able to do something for these suffering people silently, but she didn't want to be in the limelight because of this. So Nangong Xue secretly thought in her heart: "Anyway, it will be more convenient to have an official to do things." After receiving the holy decree, Nangong Xue returned to her home under the escort of Wang Jiezhong. Safely sent Nangong Xue home, Wang Jiezhong left Nangong Xue for the time being and returned to the palace.

After seeing Nangong Xue return home, Nangong Feng called her to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Nangong Feng asked with concern: "Xiaoxue, what is the matter with the emperor's summoning of you?" ”

"Back to Daddy, the emperor summoned me for two things," Nangong Xue replied, "One is to ask me for another letter, I only gave a part of it in the morning, the emperor wants to know the whole content, and the reason why I give a part is that I am afraid that the emperor will not be satisfied, so I can modify it until the emperor is satisfied." The second is to make me an official, in fact, he wants me to take the lead and serve the emperor. ”

"I've seen your plan too, it's quite unique. I really can't see that you are either stuffy in the room or bored in the backyard of the study building in the backyard, and you are thinking about this for a long time. Nangong Feng praised.

When Nangong Xue heard this, she thought to herself: "If you can think like this, you don't have to think of an excuse to explain, if you really want to say that I actually designed this plan according to urban planning, you may not believe it, you must think that I am insane." But then again, the librarian of the previous life was not in vain, and he came to my mind and brought all the books in that library to my mind. That's a lot of money. If you don't have this ability, I'm afraid this plan will not be easy to do. ”

Nangong Xue smiled slightly, didn't explain anything more, and replied: "No, it takes a lot of books to do this, and it takes a lot of brains." ”

"Well, you'll be busy in the future. If you are sealed in an official position, you will have to take responsibility. Don't be sloppy. Nangong Feng instructed.

"Yes, the child knows, dad, don't worry, the child is no one else." Nangong Xue patted her small chest and responded.

got Nangong Xue's assurance, Nangong Feng didn't ask too much, he actually knew in his heart what kind of character his child was, and Nangong Xue would not do anything that would not bear fruit. It is precisely because this plan was conceived over many days that this matter is now seventy or eighty percent grasped, and the rest depends on whether other officials in the DPRK and China will follow suit. As soon as it was qiē, it was up to Nangong Xue to make it in the court. "I hope to be able to make a qiē shun lì." Nangong Feng secretly thought in his heart.

……

……

On the morning of the next day, Zhao Xianglin wrote the holy decree and let Wang Jiezhong pass it on to all departments one by one. The canonization decree for Nangong Xue was also conveyed on this day. When Nangong Xue got the holy decree and the official certificate that symbolized the identity card, she was a little dazed for a while, after all, this is ancient times, not modern society, and the holy decree is about to take office as soon as it is reached, this is not a matter of course, the transformation plan in her hand must be implemented perfectly, and she doesn't want to let herself be in the limelight in this matter, this is simply to break the saying, and become a fish and a bear's paw. "It's a time to test me." Nangong Xue secretly cheered herself up in her heart.

Seeing that her daughter was a little dazed, Nangong Feng walked up, gently stroked the tail of Nangong Xue's hair, and encouraged: "No matter what happens in the future, Dad and Grandpa, your two brothers and the whole family will support you unconditionally." Don't worry about doing what you have to do. ”

Hearing that her father supported her so thoroughly, Nangong Xue's heart warmed up. "This is the benefit of having a family, and the support of family members is the greatest encouragement and recognition for oneself at any time." Nangong Xue now finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

After a short rest, Nangong Xue went to Kyoto Mansion accompanied by Wei Yongnian to take up his post. Just before Nangong Xue took office again, the officials up and down the Kyoto Prefecture were full of curiosity and questions about the new twelve-year-old girl, even though the emperor valued this person very much, but the officials inevitably discussed it at the meeting.

"The emperor is really desperate now, and he is working hard to revitalize the country, so he even took a fancy to a twelve-year-old baby to come to our Kyoto Mansion as an inspector." Cheng Yuxing, the waiter of Kyoto Mansion, said a little unconvinced, "Who is this Nangong Xue?" What kind of ability does she have that makes the emperor value it so much. The little twelve-year-old doll came to manage us people. Becoming an official without taking any exams is really unprecedented and unprecedented. ”

"Alas, Master Duan, don't be unconvinced." Huang Haijiang of Kyoto Prefecture Langzhong explained, "I heard that this newly appointed Nangong Xue is not small. ”

As soon as he said this, all the officials looked at Huang Haijiang curiously, Huang Haijiang cleared his throat and continued: "This Nangong Xue is the granddaughter of the prime minister of Nangong, how can I say that our prime minister used to be the emperor's teacher." That's it, and it's enough to support the faΓ§ade, but as for how this doll made an exception to be the inspector of this positive three products, it is estimated that people still have two brushes, otherwise how could the emperor take a fancy to it? ”

"But no matter what you say, you have to compete with the students who took the official exam this year, show your strength, and then become this official, and all of us adults will be convinced, right?" Cheng Yuxing was still a little unconvinced.

"Master Cheng, if I don't like what I say, if you are not happy to hear it, it should be a gust of wind," said Zhu Tiantao, the imperial historian of Kyoto Prefecture, "Even if a student passes the examination of the Kyoto Prefecture Inspectorate, can you really admit it?" In other words, maybe you'll be the same as you are now, right? ”

As soon as the ......words came out, Cheng Yuxing rolled his eyes at Zhu Tiantao and said nothing. The atmosphere was a little embarrassed at once, and Huang Haijiang hurriedly interjected to break this embarrassing feeling: "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if it is the Nangong Xue who arrived today, or if you pass the guΓ² level examination in the future to get the official position of our Kyoto Prefecture, we all have to do the basic official etiquette, but now the government and the opposition are not very peaceful, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes." No matter who it is, don't we still have to be our petty officials with our tails between our legs? Colleagues, do you think that's reasonable? ”

All colleagues nodded their heads in agreement with what Huang Haijiang said, although the words were a little rough, but it was not rough. At this time, Nangong Xue also arrived in front of the yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, and after getting out of the carriage, Wei Yongnian instructed: "Xiaoxue, I won't go in, it's not appropriate." You give your official certificate to the guards at the gate, they will let you in, and then you should salute with the adults in Kyoto Prefecture, I have already taught you these in the car, as long as you are cautious and do not make mistakes, no one will find fault with you, and then you should read the emperor's decree to you, after reading it, it is the handover official seal, and after these are done, you can officially serve as an inspector. As for what to do after becoming an official, I believe the master has also told you, in short, it is a sentence, you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you become an official, and be honest and honest. Remember? ”

"Well, I've written down everything that Weber said just now." Nangong Xue nodded and replied, "Uncle Wei, don't worry." I won't let you down. I understand what it will be like to become an official in the court. I'm not going to let people grab my tail. I've got my own measure. ”

"Hmm. It's good that you understand, and I'll be relieved," Wei Yongnian said reassuringly, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll pick you up before sunset." ”

"Okay, I see, hard work Weber." Nangong Xue responded, "Then you should slow down on the road." ”

After speaking, Wei Yongnian waved his hand at Nangong Xue and drove the carriage back. Nangong Xue watched Wei Yongnian leave. After that, Nangong Xue walked to the gate of the Kyoto Mansion, and sure enough, the guards in front of the door stopped Nangong Xue, Nangong Xue took out his official certificate and handed it to the guard according to what Wei Yongnian said before, the guard opened the official certificate and looked at it, and then said respectfully: "It turned out to be the new Kyoto Prefecture Inspector, please Inspector An, you can go in." After speaking, the guards returned the official certificate to Nangong Xue, Nangong Xue nodded after taking the official certificate, and walked into the Kyoto Mansion.

Entering the mansion, although Nangong Xue was calm and calm on the surface, she was still a little excited in her heart, because this was the first time she entered the so-called mansion, even in her previous life, she had never been to any ancient building to visit the official mansion, at that time, in addition to knowing that there were only books left in her eyes, so the first time she came to the so-called mansion, she was still very fresh in her heart. She looked at the government with her spare eyes, and secretly thought in her heart: "This is the legendary government office, it is really worthy of the government of the capital, the office of the ancients is more elaborate than that of the modern city, and even the yamen is built more spacious than the modern one." ”

As soon as Nangong Xue entered the main hall, she saw that the adults had been waiting for a long time. All of them were respectful to her. Nangong Xue used the official etiquette taught by Wei Yongnian to salute all the adults one by one, and every adult also returned the salute to her very politely. After the official salute, the leading adults said: "Minister Kyoto Governor Shi Zhu Kangwen, Minister Kyoto Prefecture Deputy Inspector Wang Yuduo, Minister Kyoto Prefecture Imperial Shi Zhu Tiantao, Minister Kyoto Prefecture Langlang Cheng Yuxing, Minister Kyoto Prefecture Langzhong Huang Haijiang and Kyoto Prefecture officials respectfully invite the emperor to the Holy Ann. Long live my emperor, long live. After speaking, he knelt down and saluted, Nangong Xue took out the emperor's holy decree at this time, and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, emperor, edict said: I feel that Nangong Xue has won my heart after many investigations, although she is young and young, but her way of thinking is extremely admirable, I decided to seal Nangong Xue as the inspector of the Kyoto Prefecture, and the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household Servants, instead of me, to transform the major urban areas of the capital, from today, officials at all levels of Kyoto Prefecture will work together to assist Nangong Xue in the transformation. Wherever Nangong Xue goes, she can act cheaply, like bowing to her relatives. Chin this! ”

After the reading, all the ministers said in unison: "The ministers obey the holy commandment. Long live my emperor, long live. After speaking, Nangong Xue said: "Everyone, please excuse yourself." As soon as the words fell, all the adults stood up one after another, and Zhu Kangwen stepped forward and said, "Someone will bring the Great Seal of the Inspector of the Protectorate." After speaking, several guards came over with a wooden plate covered with yellow silk cloth, Zhu Kangwen lifted the yellow satin cloth covered on the wooden plate, and said: "Lord Inspector of the Protectorate, this is your exclusive seal, before handing over the seal to you, please let the lower official check your official certificate, and after confirming that this seal is correct, it will be handed over to you for safekeeping." ”

"Lord Zhu, this is the official certificate of this official. Please take a look. Nangong Xue said as she handed over her official certificate to Zhu Kangwen. Inspection. Zhu Kangwen took Nangong Xue's official certificate and looked at it, then nodded and returned the official certificate to Nangong Xue, and said, "The official certificate is right, this seal will be handed over to you." Please give me a lot of advice in the future. ”

"Lord Zhu is polite, and the official is just acting on orders. I also hope that Lord Zhu and all of you will give me more advice. Nangong Xue replied humbly.

"Definitely, definitely." Zhu Kangwen responded.
