Chapter 441: Return to the Imperial Court

Jiang Zhan insisted on ordering someone to invite a doctor, Xue Yao's condition didn't look very good, and he didn't want her to be uncomfortable all the time.

For his actions, Xue Yao felt very heartwarming.

She has always been a woman who doesn't like to cause trouble to people, and she will endure anything directly.

After the doctor came over, he immediately helped Xue Yao take the pulse.

"How's Uchiko's body?" Jiang Zhan said with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Mrs. Zun's body is good, the reason why she is uncomfortable this time is that she should be frightened, and she has been too tired recently, so she only needs to rest for a few days and she will be fine!" The doctor touched his beard and said.

"Thank you, doctor!" Hearing this, Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Yao's body is fine, so the doctor didn't prescribe a prescription, after all, she is fine, she is practical, she doesn't need to take medicine, as long as she carefully recuperates for a few days.

So Jiang Zhan and his wife didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, Xue Yao has a system and has hardly been sick.

What's more, the doctors said that she was fine, and they just rested.

At night, when Xue Yao was leaning on his arms, Jiang Zhan suddenly mentioned what the emperor said.

"You decided to go back to the court to help the emperor?" Xue Yao heard his decision from his words.

If Jiang Zhan hadn't thought it through, he would never have been so straightforward and told himself what the emperor told him.

In the past, the emperor had also looked for him, but Jiang Zhan was almost perfunctory in a tactful manner.

Their husband and wife have a consensus, that is, to go to Jiangnan to live a leisurely life.

Now Jiang Zhan suddenly decided to stay, which was completely unexpected by Xue Yao, but she did not object.

After all, no matter what he did, it was all thought out by Zhou Xiang.

"The emperor and I are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends, and now that he is in trouble, I don't want to stand idly by!" What's more, he did it not just for the emperor.

Jiang Zhan cares more about ordinary people.

If the officials of the court and the central government do not reflect on themselves, then the people will be affected by their meat......

Therefore, the corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty must have someone to break the current situation.

The emperor has the intention to rectify it, but most of the officials in the court and the central government protect each other, and it is difficult for him to start.

Jiang Zhan also took into account the people, so his heart would be loosened.

Even though he is only one of the many living beings, as long as the people are stable, he and Xue Yao can travel around the sky.

The rule of the court officials is clear, which is of great benefit to the people and the emperor.

"Since you want to go back to help the emperor, then go!" Xue Yao looked at him and said.

"Yao'er is sorry, I said that I would go to Jiangnan together, I broke my promise!" Jiang Zhan was full of guilt.

At the beginning, he said that when the emperor ascended the throne, he would take Xue Yao to live in her favorite place, but unfortunately he failed to fulfill his promise......

"We'll have a chance in the future!" Xue Yao smiled, she was not angry at all about this matter.

She knew that Jiang Zhan would not stay in the court as an official forever, he, like herself, did not like to be bound by power.

Now he is going back to mediate with the officials of the DPRK and China for the sake of the emperor.

When the emperor has taken all the power in his hands, it is time for Jiang Zhan to retire.

After all, since ancient times, no emperor can trust his courtiers wholeheartedly, especially that minister is extremely capable and can handle a lot of things for him, which he can't do.

Jiang Zhan has not aroused the emperor's vigilance now, but once he performs too well, the emperor will be jealous sooner or later.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in history.

However, Xue Yao hoped that he would not regret every decision he made, so he let him do what he thought.

The next day, Jiang Zhan gave the emperor a direct answer.

When the emperor learned that he was willing to agree to his request and returned to the court to continue his errands, he was very surprised.

In fact, he was ready to be rejected by Jiang Zhan, after all, there were few people who were determined to leave the imperial court, and they would come back.

He mentioned it a few times before, but he didn't respond positively, obviously not wanting to come back.

At the moment, Jiang Zhan suddenly agreed, and it was probably related to the evil things that Shangshu of the Criminal Department had done.

"I promised you before, as long as you are willing to come back, I will let you be the secretary of the Criminal Department, but now I haven't dealt with him yet, you can only wait for the time being!" The emperor wanted to uproot the power of the criminal department Shangshu.

However, after he ordered someone to investigate, he found that more officials were involved than he expected, and those officials were also in important positions and had clever methods.

They were obviously involved in those things, but they washed their hands very cleanly, leaving almost no handles, and the emperor was having a headache because of this.

"The grass people don't care about the official position!" He just wanted to assist the emperor in purging the Qing Dynasty and ruling the Qing Dynasty.

"I know that you don't care about fame and fortune, but the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department can only be yours, for now, you will be the squire of the Criminal Department for the time being, and when I deal with them, the Criminal Department will be handed over to you!" The emperor never thought of using power to keep him.

However, at the moment, there is nothing else he can give Jiang Zhan except power.

"The grass people obey!" The squire of the Criminal Department is only a fourth-grade official, and he is completely incomparable with the second-grade Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Before Jiang Zhan resigned, he was already a second-rank officer, but at that time he served in the military department and trained soldiers for the emperor's management of the military camp.

After discussing with Xue Yao, he came up with a set of very useful methods for training soldiers.

When Xue Yao was in modern times, although he had not personally seen the barracks, he still knew how rigorous their training was from many film and television materials.

In ancient times, there was no way to compare with the training of soldiers, especially when some soldiers were training, they still wanted to be lazy.

Once such a person goes to the battlefield, he will not only drag down his companions, but also harm himself.

Therefore, Jiang Zhan sternly rectified the barracks and trained them according to Xue Yao's establishment.

Many soldiers have lived a difficult life at home, but they cannot adapt to the barracks, let alone some who have made mistakes and are used as soldiers' children.

Jiang Zhan trained them for more than half a year, corrected many unwritten rules in the barracks, and made them strict with themselves.

Later, he resigned from the military department and left the matter at hand to someone else.

Now, the emperor asked him to go to the Criminal Department, and Jiang Zhan would not object.

After all, there are also many people who hide bad consciences and harm the people in the Criminal Department.

I heard that many prisoners were in prison, and as long as they could afford the money, they would soon be able to get out of it.

Jiang Zhan really wanted to see how they hid from the world and made people out.

After the emperor gave him the position, Jiang Zhan went directly to the Criminal Department.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Jiang who has resigned, why did he come back after only two or three months?" When Shangshu of the Criminal Department saw him, his eyes were full of displeasure.

He knew in his heart that Jiang Zhan was not a fellow traveler with him.

Now that the other party has become a squire of the Criminal Department, although it is under his jurisdiction, as long as he is there, it is not very convenient to act by himself.

Originally, the entire Criminal Department was firmly controlled by him, but now that there is a person he can't suppress, Shangshu of the Criminal Department will naturally not be happy in his heart.

Jiang Zhan is a close confidant of the emperor, and the things they do in private must not be known to him.

So he couldn't wait to find a way to get the emperor out of the criminal department.

However, he can't do this, after all, the emperor doesn't value himself as much as he used to.

"See Lord Shangshu!" Jiang Zhan did not turn his face directly with him, but did the duty of a subordinate, so that the other party could not make mistakes.

"You go and do things first!" After Shangshu of the Criminal Department found out that he did not accept the recruitment, he suddenly felt bored.

"Yes!" Jiang Zhan went directly to take over the work of the squire of the Criminal Department.

In the evening, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was like a different person, no longer fighting with Jiang Zhan, and took the initiative to invite him out to dinner.

Jiang Zhan felt that he had bad intentions, but he didn't debunk it, but kept perfunctory him.

"I've heard people say that you have good ability and do things neatly, I haven't believed it all the time, but now it seems that I'm narrow-minded, and I'll make a compensatory to you for the previous things!"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department said with a smile, "In the future, we will work together in the Criminal Department, I hope we can share the emperor's worries together!" ”

"Let's not mention the past, what does Jiang Shilang think?" The criminal department Shangshu wanted to go in a different way.

Since he can't touch him directly, he can find a way to help and destroy the emperor's reuse of him.

Once Jiang Zhan loses the emperor's support, he will be nothing in the Criminal Department.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department plans to pull him into the water and earn money with himself.

So he deliberately lowered his figure and offered to get along with Jiang Zhan amicably.

They had to do things together every day, and before they thought of a way to get him away, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department could only reluctantly accept him and lower his vigilance against himself.

He has been an official in the DPRK for many years, and he has long known how to corrode a person's heart.

Jiang Zhan is indeed upright now, but when he enters the imperial court, there are not many who can get out of the mud without staining.

He knew what the other party was thinking, but he still decided to go out with him and take the opportunity to find out what he was doing.

After all, although the emperor wanted to kill him, he had not completely searched for evidence of his crimes, and he couldn't wait to let himself come to the Criminal Department, which was nothing more than to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and punish the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the subordinates and officials involved in it.

However, there was still a little bit of evidence in his heart, and Jiang Zhan could just look for him privately.

After leaving the Criminal Department, Shangshu of the Criminal Department took him and several other officials who had a good relationship with him to a restaurant in the capital to eat.

The restaurant had never done business with them, and even tried to steal their business.

However, the dishes and various fruit wines in their restaurant are all recipes that Xue Yao found from the system, which is unique in the world and cannot be replaced by anyone.

The owner of the restaurant saw that it was hopeless to surpass them, so he simply stopped fighting with them, but invited a descendant of the imperial chef to come to the restaurant to take charge, which can be regarded as retaining some guests.

Jiang Zhan sat quietly with them in the private room and casually ordered a signature dish of the restaurant.

Then he sat and ate in silence, and occasionally when others asked him, Jiang Zhan would say a word or two.

When Shangshu and the other officials of the Criminal Department saw this, they were not very happy.

"Lord Jiang is so highly used by the emperor, I think he will definitely have the opportunity to enter the cabinet in the future!" The cabinet ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all officials from the first rank and above, and their positions are very high.

After all, to be able to become a cabinet minister, you must not only have a background but also real skills.
