Chapter 701: Assignment of Official Positions
After the aunt in charge returned to her palace, she began to organize the palace maids to make this hairpin.
Lu Li felt a little happy in his heart when he saw the figure of his aunt leaving, and he had already imagined in his mind that when Xiaoman passed the assessment of the Jinshi Academy, he would give this hairpin to her in public at the Jinluan Palace.
Just now, the aunt in charge asked him why he wanted to look like a bud.
Lu Li also hid his careful thoughts in this hairpin, to say that Xiaoman has just embarked on the road to becoming an official now, naturally it cannot be regarded as a completely blooming flower, but just a small bud, but it has accumulated infinite power.
This is what he expects from Su Xiaoman, and Peach Blossom represents Taoyuan County, after all, that is where they first met.
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but rub his hands, although he was already an emperor, such behavior was a bit naΓ―ve, but Lu Li just couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
To say that Su Xiaoman and Du Yue were tortured in the Jinshi Courtyard, three days have passed, the two of them have become emaciated and no longer human, they live a life of purgatory during the day, and at night Lord Lu will always have some special work handed over to them.
It's not to review paperwork or to organize the stacks, but both of them prefer the evening time, and when they come to the night, there are no pesky jinshi to taunt them.
Second, I don't know who the mysterious person is, but he will always bring them meat buns on time at night, but they are not all meat buns, sometimes they will only be replaced with mung bean cakes or purple potato shortbread, such small snacks.
But no matter what it is, these foods can always comfort Su Xiaoman and Du Yue physically and mentally late at night.
The stable has been cleaned very clean by Su Xiaoman at this moment, and if you want to say that some of the old dirt in the stable has been brushed away by Xiaoman with clean water, even if a few words of scolding at this time are said to be a small gazebo, some people will believe it.
Su Xiaoman thought that he would be able to contact some normal work during the day, but he didn't expect Master Lu to still say coldly: "Su Xiaoman, since you have finished cleaning the stable, your job from today onwards is to clean the thatched house." β
Hearing about cleaning the thatched house, Xiaoman has been tempered for the past few days, and he is no longer as excited as when he first came to the Jinshi Academy, so he just silently received the work and went to the thatched house with a broom.
If you want to say that the smell of this thatched house is naturally extremely unpleasant. So Xiaoman took out his silk crawler, folded it into strips, then covered his nose, tied it behind his hair, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the thatched house.
After some cleaning, the thatched house also became new, but Xiaoman was not satisfied, because the smell inside the thatched house has always been a difficult problem to solve.
Just when Xiaoman was distressed, she looked around and found that there were many daisies growing in the middle of the flower beds in the Jinshi Courtyard, to say that the daisies looked cute, and also had a faint fragrance, this fragrance can not only remove the peculiar smell in the thatched house, but also do not make people feel the kitsch of the flowers, it is really too suitable.
So Su Xiaoman found a small bottle, picked a few bunches of daisies and put them in the bottle, and placed one in each thatched house.
Probably because of the hard work of the day and night, after Su Xiaoman finished putting the flowers, he felt a little tired, so he held the broom in his hand, leaned against the door outside the thatched house, and fell asleep deeply.
It just so happened that at this time, Huang Shangshu came to discuss important matters with Master Lu, and when he passed by the garden, he saw Su Xiaoman resting there, and when he saw Su Xiaoman's appearance, Huang Shangshu couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.
Master Lu also pretended to be quite angry and snorted coldly.
"What a lazy bone, why don't you just let her do this little work, and she actually fell asleep."
Huang Shangshu quickly came to the sharp-eyed, naturally at a glance he found a few bunches of daisies on the windowsill outside the thatched house, and he admired Su Xiaoman a little in his heart, but he didn't expect her to receive such a job, not only did not complain, but also tried her best to make the work that was not suitable for her own perfection, such a person, if she became an official of the imperial court, she would definitely be able to complete her job very beautifully.
"Master Lu, why are you still so unfrank after so many years, I see that your eyes are obviously full of smiles, you should like Xiaoman very much."
Suddenly Huang Shangshu was in his mind, and Master Lu blushed slightly, and then coughed twice, hiding his embarrassment.
"What are you talking about, I don't like people like Su Xiaoman, a woman actually wants to enter the court as an official, I don't know how thick the sky is."
After speaking, Lord Lu walked over angrily, Huang Shangshu saw Lord Lu like this, obviously it was duplicity, to say that every time he looked at Su Xiaoman, his eyebrows and eyes contained pity and love for Su Xiaoman and Du Yue.
However, it was also Su Xiaoman and Du Yue's own efforts that they were able to get such appreciation from Lord Lu, and it should be said that Lord Lu had the absolute right to speak when assigning official positions to Jinshi in the future.
Since he has won the favor of Lord Lu, he will definitely not be far off if he wants to come to the official positions assigned by Su Xiaoman and Du Yue in the future.
Finally, the half-month assessment time has passed, and all the candidates have passed the assessment of the Jinshi Academy, and now it is the turn of Lord Lu to start worrying.
To say that Lord Lu is naturally very satisfied with Su Xiaoman and Du Yue in his heart, to say that arranging for them to be prefects in other places is more than enough with their abilities, but the difficulty is that their identities are too embarrassing.
One was the first female official of the Eastern Lan Kingdom, and the other was only thirteen years old, so it would be a bit inappropriate to directly appoint them as prefects.
After discussing it with Huang Shangshu a few times, he decided to hand over this matter to Lu Li.
To say that Lu Li looked at the appointment letter at this moment, he was also very embarrassed in his heart, of course he didn't want Xiao Man and Du Yue to go to other places to be prefects, Du Yue would forget it, if this Xiao Man left the capital, let alone meet him from time to time, how could he alleviate his lovesickness.
Just when Lu Li was in a dilemma, he saw a eunuch next to him hurriedly come over and said to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, Lord Li asks to see you." β
To say that after Lu Li ascended the throne, he naturally quickly took Li Ran out of the prison, but although Li Ran was still the prefect of Yuzhou at this time, the position of the prefect still had to be handed over to someone else after all.
Because Li Ran doesn't know a single word, and he doesn't know how to deal with government affairs, if he continues to be in Yuzhou, I'm afraid that Yuzhou will be in chaos.
Li Ran naturally knows this, what he is most concerned about in his heart is the safety of the people of Yuzhou, thinking that he has been away from Yuzhou for so long, Zhang An must be more unscrupulous in Yuzhou to develop his own power.
Thinking of this, he felt very anxious, and after seeing Lu Li, Li Ran said directly to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, I don't know when you plan to send the new prefect to Yuzhou, if you don't solve the matter in Yuzhou, I'm afraid that Zhang An's forces will be forced into Shangjing." β
Lu Li rubbed his temples, he naturally knew that Zhang An was a big problem, but at this time, where would the imperial court have extra manpower, and where could honest officials be sent to Yuzhou.
After listening to Li Ran's words, Master Lu felt that he had some ideas, so he said to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, since Yuzhou happens to lack a prefect, I think it is better to choose one of Su Xiaoman and Du Yue and go to Yuzhou to serve as the prefect, wouldn't it be beautiful." β
Hearing Lord Lu say such a thing, Lu Li hurriedly shook his head.
"No, Xiaoman and Du Yue are both new science and technology scholars, although they are said to be the champions and tanhuas of the first class, but their qualifications are still too little, if they are allowed to go to Yuzhou to deal with Zhang An, I am afraid they will only fall behind, I am not very relieved."
Hearing Lu Li say this, Lord Lu frowned, although what Lu Li said made sense, but Lord Lu still felt that Lu Li's thoughts were too conservative, and he observed Su Xiaoman and Du Yue in the Jinshi Academy for a long time.
I feel that their wisdom is by no means ordinary people, and it should not be difficult to solve the rebellion in Yuzhou.
When Li Ran heard Lord Lu's proposal, he naturally objected to it: "Lord Lu, you see that Yuzhou is in chaos like this, Xiaoman's identity is special, if the people of Yuzhou know that a woman is going to govern them, it will inevitably cause chaos, and when the time comes, won't Zhang An take advantage of the fisherman's interests, and Du Yue will not be able to, how can they listen to a thirteen-year-old child." β
Master Lu sighed. He stepped aside. No more talking. Thinking that he would find better official positions for Su Xiaoman and Du Yue.
Huang Shangshu played with the folding fan in his hand, listened to everyone's words, pondered for a while, and then raised his eyebrows and said to Lu Li.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
To say that Lu Li was already anxious at this time, he hurriedly said to Huang Shangshu.
"Say whatever you want."
"Since it is very inappropriate for either Su Xiaoman and Du Yue to go to Yuzhou, it is better to let the two of them go to Yuzhou together and become the prefect together."
Hearing Huang Shangshu say this, the three people present opened their mouths in surprise, to say that the prefect of Donglan Country has always been one person and one position, when has there been a precedent of two people and one position.
Master Lu immediately shook his head and said, "You are violating the ancestral teachings, it is really inappropriate. β
Huang Shangshu's temperament has always been eccentric, if he wants to talk about things that are out of common sense, he has done a lot of this, and he doesn't care about this one.
What is this, Su Xiaoman is a woman, this Du Yue is a child, they are together, and they are the prefect of Yuzhou, they can not only serve the public, but also have more wisdom, they go together, and the rebellion in Yuzhou should be able to subside soon.
Hearing Huang Shangshu say this, Li Ran scratched his head, and always felt that what Huang Shangshu said had a certain truth, Xiaoman and Du Yue were so smart, if both of them were sitting in Yuzhou, Zhang An would not be able to make any waves.
