But now that so many officials are suffering from heat stroke, it is also a last resort, so he agreed to Zhang Yu's request.

To say that Zhang Yu's method has indeed brought a lot of help to the officials of the six departments, this Lu Li's criminal department is not busy, there are only so many cases in the four seasons, there is no difference between seasons, even if there are a few fewer people, Lu Li and the servants of the criminal department can be busy.

It's just that the worst situation is the Ministry of Officials, to say that six or seven officials have fallen in the Ministry of Officials, and it has become an empty nest department, leaving only Huang Shangshu and Li Shilang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, even if Huang Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is a very capable official, but he is now a light commander.

No one can let him send, how to let him be good, plus even if he can condescend to complete the work of his subordinates, but he can't separate seven or eight people, the workload is still too great for him after all.

In order to avoid his own Shangshu also falling ill, the servant of the Ministry of Officials hurriedly instructed Wei Xiuyuan, and asked him to help select a few reliable candidates in the capital city, and hurry to the Ministry of Officials to be a substitute.

Wei Xiuyuan thought, Su Xiaoman happened to be studying political affairs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, such a good opportunity, how can he be cheap to others, so she immediately found Su Xiaoman, to say that Su Xiaoman was studying hard at home at this time, and naturally felt a little strange when he saw Wei Xiuyuan coming.

"Xiuyuan, why are you okay, you came to me during the day?"

Wei Xiuyuan smiled and told Su Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, would you like to work in the Ministry for a few days?"

Xiao Man was so frightened that he opened his mouth, to know what kind of place this official is, it is a serious six, besides, she once heard Lu Li say that Huang Shangshu, the secretary of the ministry, has the most eccentric temper, and is also very strict with his subordinates, and most of the people who can stay under Huang Shangshu for a month are the elites of the court.

"Xiuyuan, are you serious?"

Wei Xiuyuan was naturally very serious.

"Xiaoman has been too hot recently, many officials have fallen, and there is a great shortage of people in the ministry, so I want me to find a few capable assistants to be substitutes, I think you should have a good contact with the work of the six departments instead of studying like this, which will be more helpful to your imperial examination, how about it?"

"But I heard Lu Li say that Huang Shangshu is very scary, I'm afraid that I can't do it well, what should I do if I am scolded by him?"

Wei Xiuyuan thought about it, Huang Shangshu was indeed a character who was not easy to mess with, so he pondered for a while and squeaked and persuaded him.

"Xiaoman, although Huang Shangshu's temper is a little weird, but you have to admit that all the people who are trained under him are all high-ranking officials in the current court, if you can last a few days under Huang Shangshu, you will definitely be able to learn many useful things, it depends on whether you are willing or not."

Seeing Wei Xiu say this, Su Xiaoman naturally wanted to learn more things, after all, now she is shouldering the dreams of many people, if she relaxes a little, Li Niang will no longer have contact with the road to the imperial examination. In order to realize the idea that the women of Donglan Kingdom can enter the court as officials in the future, Su Xiaoman clenched his fists and looked at Wei Xiuyuan resolutely.

"Well, in that case, then I'll go!"

You must know that the matter of agreeing to women's participation in the imperial examination, the ministry did not express its position at the beginning, but just blindly watched the excitement, and it is not much point for them to argue about women's participation in the imperial examination, if women are talented, they will be hired, if they are not talented, both men and women have to get out.

But Wei Xiuyuan was still afraid that others would see that Xiao Man was a daughter and make irresponsible remarks about her, so he could only ask Xiao Man to put on men's clothes and pretend to be an ordinary candidate.

I only saw this Xiaoman wearing men's clothes, but he also looked presentable, like a handsome young man.

"Xiaoman, I went to the Ministry of Officials, you have to change your name, after all, Xiaoman is too much like a woman's name."

Xiao Man nodded, so he asked in particular.

"Xiuyuan, what do you think my name is better?"

Wei Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said to Su Xiaoman.

"I think your name is Su Xiao, you will follow later, I will hand you over to the servant of the ministry, and then he will introduce you to Huang Shangshu of the ministry."

Hearing that he was about to see Huang Shangshu, Xiao Man was naturally very nervous, and felt that his palms were sweating slightly.

When he came to the door of the ministry, Xiaoman immediately felt that the ministry was different from other departments, to talk about other departments, but they were all neat and orderly, but the ministry was obviously busy, only to see that the desk of the ministry was already full of copywriting, he was holding a fan in one hand and a pen in the other, and kept correcting the copywriting.

Xiaoman calculates the time, and now it is almost the time for the official assessment, and it is also the busiest time for the officials, no wonder this heat stroke has caused the officials to fall after a few officials, and the officials have reached the point where they cannot operate.

Seeing Wei Xiuyuan coming, the servant of the ministry naturally immediately put down the work in his hand, got out of a pile of books, and ran in front of Wei Xiuyuan.

"Xiuyuan, you're finally here, I'm telling you, I'm almost exhausted, just waiting for you to find someone for me, have you found it for me."

"This!"

Wei Xiuyuan smiled confidently and pointed to Su Xiaoman next to him, this official still glanced at Su Xiaoman, and always felt that it was a little different from what he imagined, what he wanted Wei Xiuyuan to find was some people who could do the work and had a more flexible mind, but Su Xiaoman in front of him looked thin and small, and his eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know if he could do the work of the ministry.

"Xiuyuan, can he do it, what's his name?"

Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly introduced Su Xiaoman to the servant of the ministry.

"His name is Su Xiao, don't look at him short and small, but he is still very clever, plus he is smart and learns things quickly, I believe he can help you Huang Shangshu."

The servant of the ministry sighed, although at the first time, his impression of Su Xiaoman was not particularly good, but now the ministry is really short of manpower, as long as he can help, even if he is a beggar, he can reluctantly accept it.

So the servant nodded.

"Okay, then this Su Xiao is handed over to me, you can go back quickly."

After Wei Xiuyuan left, the servant of the ministry took a good look at Su Xiaoman again, and found that his eyes didn't seem to be as dull as just now, thinking that he was just too nervous just now, so he restrained the aura in his eyes.

At this time, Su Xiaoman kept looking left and right, looking at what the inside of the Ministry of Officials looked like, but before Su Xiaoman could see enough, the servants of the Ministry had already put a bunch of official documents in front of Su Xiaoman.

"Let me tell you, these official documents are all official documents that our officials have to deal with today, and the work for you is also very simple, you divide it into three parts according to your priorities, and the most important thing is, of course, to send it to us immediately, Lord Huang Shangshu, the second is not to send it to me, and the last one will be left with you and handed over to you for approval."

The waiter of the ministry said this, which made Su Xiaoman a little nervous, to say that he was only the first day of work, why did Huang Shangshu hand over such an important work to himself, so Xiaoman hurriedly shook his hand and said to the waiter of the ministry.

"That, that's not good, I'm just a temporary substitute, just let me review the official document, it's too unruly."

The servant of the ministry smiled when he heard the word rules.

"I don't think you know yet, each of these six departments has rules, but only our officials don't talk about rules."

"Hearing the servants of the Ministry say this, it makes Xiaoman a little strange, to say that the six departments of the imperial court are all important central institutions, why is this the only ministry that does not pay attention to the rules, what is the reason."

The servant pondered for a moment, stopping his own speech for a moment.

"You don't know, our Huang Shangshu is a weird person, he is very picky about things, and people who can stay under him for a month are very rare, so our officials are very thin, he has a strange temper, so he never takes the usual path, the people of the Ministry never play those twists and turns, as long as you can do things, then there must be an infinite future, that Ministry of Officials is the most special existence, if you don't know how to do things, blindly flattering, I'm afraid your head will be scolded off by Huang Shangshu."

Hearing the servant of the Ministry describe this Lord Shangshu like this, Xiao Man felt a little scared in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of person this Huang Shangshu was, whether he would embarrass himself, and if he really embarrassed himself, what should he do.

"So, don't think about it so much, doing these jobs is all assigned by Lord Huang Shangshu, he asks you to do it, you have to do it, I believe that the vision of adults is absolutely not wrong, if you can't complete the work he thinks you can complete, you can only pack up your things and get out of the house immediately, do you hear?"

The servant of the ministry said this, Xiaoman naturally did not want to get out of the house immediately after she came, so she cheered up and began to deal with the official documents, to say that Xiaoman handled official business, the speed was not slow, and soon she divided the official documents into three parts, and first handed over the medium ones to the officials and waiters for approval.

The unimportant pile of official documents was left to himself, and the most important official documents were naturally sent to the hands of Huang Shangshu, the servant of the ministry.

At this time, Xiao Man wanted to see with his own eyes what Huang Shangshu looked like and what kind of temper he was, and his heart jumped up.

She walked to the door of Lord Shangshu's room tremblingly with a little official document in her hand, knocked on the door, only to see that at this time, there was a very light and cold voice responding to Xiao Man

"Come in."

Xiao Man walked in and found that the man sitting inside was the official book himself, Xiao Man originally thought that the official department should be a very old and fierce person, but he didn't expect that the man sitting in front of him was a young and somewhat handsome and cold man.
