Du Xuanmo changed his clothes and was ready to have breakfast, Du Niangzi led Jingwen over, and Du Xuanmo called Jingwen over to ask about her homework.

Du Xuanmo asked a few, Jingwen also answered smoothly, and Du Niangzi nodded with a smile on the side.

"I heard your sister-in-law say that you almost let people abduct you?" Du Xuanmo asked, Shen Shiliu had already scolded those traffickers and the fast catchers on errands in his heart.

Jingwen nodded: "Yes, I almost lost it that morning, and in the afternoon my sister-in-law came back from shopping and said that a little boy was stolen, and the child's mother cried very sadly." Saying that, Jingwen's little face was also a little depressed, if it wasn't for Shen Shimei's desperate chase, it is estimated that she would not be anywhere at this time.

Du Xuanmo knew in his heart what these yamen people thought, just eat and wait for death, those traffickers will watch people put down dishes, and those who wear rich and noble clothes will generally not start, stealing is stealing the children of ordinary people. As long as it is not the children of the powerful families who are lost, and these officials do not care about it, those traffickers will be even more unscrupulous.

"Let's eat first, and be careful on the street later." Du Xuanmo patted Jingwen on the head and asked Jingwen to eat first.

After the family had breakfast, Du Xuanmo went to the study, called Fushun to the study, and asked if there was anything else going on in his absence. Although Shen Shiliu will also talk about family affairs in the letter, in most cases, he still reports good news but not bad news.

Fushun thought about it for a while, and said all the things that were impressive, and finally when he talked about the son of the new guard of the Qianzong family who robbed the people's daughter, Du Xuanmo smiled.

"It's all down, why are the new ones still so domineering?" Du Xuanmo was speechless, he must be a ruthless character who can go from a magistrate to a Beijing position, and he should have been a hegemon in the local area before coming to Beijing, but Kyoto City is different, there are high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, and his own backyard is not in charge, and it is a matter of time before he steps down, Chang Lin is like this, and this new Qian Guobang is estimated to be hanging.

"That's all for now." Fushun finally concluded.

Du Xuanmo nodded: "In the future, you will be the housekeeper in this house, and you will have to worry more about the affairs of the family, and help the young grandmother share some of it." ”

Fushun is overjoyed, he is not a house slave who sells himself, and generally a subordinate like him will not be reused. After coming to the Du family, I have always been taken care of by the main family, and now I can be the housekeeper of the Du family, what a great honor!

"Thank you young master for promotion, the little one must do his best!" Fushun knelt down and kowtowed to Du Xuanmo a few times as he spoke.

Du Xuanmo smiled and let Fushun go down first, most of the things in this house are still Shen Shiliu is worried about, letting Fushun be this housekeeper is nothing more than helping to share some small work, Shen Shimei's temperament can't be idle, even if she is asked to be the shopkeeper, she can't do it.

Although the emperor has not yet issued an order, Liang Xiangye has secretly sent him a message, and the emperor intends to make him a servant of the ministry, and the official position has been promoted again.

Liang Zhengxin on the other side is very satisfied with the emperor's decision, the position of the official is not low, how many people watch, there are a lot of party disputes in the court, and there are many factions, basically holding the idea that my people can't go up in this position, and others had better not go up, I can not improve, but I can't allow others to improve. Therefore, Du Xuanmo made this position, and he could also calm the anger of a group of people, and everyone was safe and sound.

"My lord, why don't you arrange for our own people to go up?" Wei Liao said, it is a pity that such an important position in Beijing was given to Du Xuanmo like this.

Liang Zhengxin laughed directly: "Our own people? Who are we? "He has always taken the path of a pure minister, even if there are people to rely on, he will not form a team, otherwise if something happens, they will all be dragged into the water.

Wei Liao also knew that what he said was a little inappropriate, so he said, "Why has the adult always been interested in this Du Xuan's blue eyes? Looking at the emperor's attitude towards Du Xuanmo now, it is the same as the emperor's attitude towards adults at the beginning. ”

Liang Zhengxin sighed: "The first emperor has gone, I am also old, I have been sitting in this court for many years, but in the end, I still have to lose to the year." "He is now about to be sixty, he is already considered an advanced age, how many years can he be in this court? There are no outstanding children and nephews, and it is good to be able to keep the wealth of three generations, and the descendants have their own blessings, but he also has a bright path for the descendants.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and before he ascended the throne, he admired Du Xuanmo's talent and ability, and now he attaches great importance to such a young and promising official. No matter how capable he Liang Zhengxin is, he can't withstand the years, he has long lost his high-spirited energy, and it is sooner or later to give way.

Wei Liao's face was helpless: "Don't say such a thing, most of the subordinates rely on the Xiangye to take care of them today, even if the emperor thinks that the adult is old, he will not treat the adult harshly." ”

Liang Zhengxin smiled bitterly: "You can have today because you abide by your duty, not Chang Lin Wu Guoyun and the like." "If the following people act recklessly, he will probably punish the crime in turn, so if you want to gain a foothold in this court, it is useless to rely on relationships alone, no matter how hard the relationship is, if you really make a mistake, you will be beheaded.

Du Xuanmo's holy decree was soon issued, and the position of the servant of the Ministry of Officials was close to the core of power in the Beijing position, and Du Xuanmo would also be at the forefront of the court in the future.

After Du Xuanmo received the holy decree, he followed the eunuch into the palace to thank him, and the emperor was very happy to see Du Xuanmo.

"Du Aiqing, please get up." The emperor asked Du Xuanmo to get up, and then the two of them turned around the imperial garden.

"I can promote you this time, and it is also the recommendation of Lord Liang, otherwise with Du Aiqing's age, it would be early to sit in the position of this waiter." The emperor said Liang Zhengxin directly.

Du Xuanmo didn't answer in a hurry, but thought about it before saying: "Before the first emperor died, he had the intention of entrusting Lord Liang, and Lord Liang was also worried about the emperor. ”

The emperor smiled: "I thought you had a very personal relationship with Lord Liang, so he recommended you." ”

"You're telling the truth, and you didn't deliberately draw a line for fear of my suspicion." After the emperor finished speaking, he was relieved, what the emperor was most afraid of was that the courtiers colluded with each other, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair and became a bare pole.

Du Xuanmo continued: "Lord Liang has been an official for many years, and the first emperor entrusted him with important responsibilities when he was there, and now the saint has also done his best to ascend the throne, and he has never had selfish intentions, and he is also a model for people who are officials of my generation. ”

The emperor nodded: "That's why when he recommends you, I will be so relieved to make a holy decree." I have just ascended the throne, and all the officials below are watching, and I don't want these courtiers to be underestimated. "In the end, the emperor is no different from the head wolf, the capable head wolf can lead the wolf pack, but when the head wolf is not capable, there will naturally be other wolves to replace, although the process is bloody, but wolves, like people, only focus on results.

Du Xuanmo knew that the young emperor was helpless about power, so he was now eager to train the officials he could use, so this time the servant of the ministry was not given in vain, the first thing he did after he was on duty

After coming out of the palace, Du Xuanmo went home first, and the Internal Affairs Office had already sent the new official uniforms.

Du Niangzi looked at her son's new official uniform and smiled, and when she saw Du Xuanmo coming back, she said, "What a glorious lintel!" ”

Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, his mother only saw the scenery on the surface, and there were still many things to worry about behind it. Although the emperor reuses him now, he can't leave no way back, in case the emperor runs out of him one day, he will also offend all the people in the court, and there will be no way to live in the future.

Shen Shiliu came over and saw Du Xuanmo's helplessness, so he said, "Let's rest for a while." ”

Du Niangzi saw enough and was just about to leave, so she turned around and said: "Your cousin has been sick recently, Lang Zhong came to see it, said that he was born weak, and I want to lead people to live in a nunnery outside the city for a few days." ”

Yin Qingqing has been sick since Du Xuanmo came back, and he hasn't seen anyone until now, and Du Xuanmo is not easy to visit a man, so he has been dragging it out.

"Okay, let's take two people to serve." Du Xuanmo responded.

Du Niangzi left, and Shen Shiliu asked, "Is there any difficulty?" It is not in vain to accompany the king and the tiger. ”

Du Xuanmo smiled and nodded: "The emperor may have to clean up the old ministers of the court." Nine times out of ten, this life is going to fall on him.

Du Xuanmo looked at the new official uniform, but the gorgeous clothes looked a little dazzling at this time, some people came up, and some people went down.

In the next few days, Du Xuanmo went to duty, and his sweetheart's officials cleaned up a group of people first, and the governor of Luo'an City bore the brunt.

"Lord Du, please take a seat!" Fu Yin Zhouting is also in his fifties this year, and he has long heard of Du Xuanmo's prestige.

Du Xuanmo had no emotion on his face, and as soon as he sat down, he said: "This time is also a routine, I am a new official, and there are some things that always have to be checked, but it is not aimed at anyone." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Zhou Ting nodded, Du Xuanmo was so young, but the officials crushed people to death, not to mention that the servants of the Ministry were originally in charge of the people below.

Zhou Ting Du Xuanmo also checked, except that he didn't care about the accusation, there was nothing wrong with it, but the inaction of the power was the biggest dereliction of duty, and he still remembered the traffickers stealing children, which had nothing to do with this Zhou Ting.

"Lord Zhou has been watching for many years, and the security of this Luo'an City is only handled by Lord Zhou, but why do I seem to have heard that during the period of Lord Zhou's jurisdiction, the security of this Luo'an City is not satisfactory?" Du Xuanmo said slowly, obviously his expression seemed to be kind, but this smile made Zhou Ting's heart pull cold.

"It's the incompetence of the lower officials!" Zhou Ting accompanied him carefully.

Du Xuanmo directly took out a pile of things, and Zhou Ting took it and looked at it, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

"There are more than a dozen cases that I know alone, an average of three cases a month, but this trafficker has not been caught so far, and he doesn't even have the slightest eyebrows, is this official Zhou tired of doing it?" Du Xuanmo said, he didn't come for nothing today, if you want to shoot bricks, you have to come up with something real!
