The throne in the palace, the emperor descends.

Zhu Youzhu looked condescendingly at the more than thirty people kneeling on the ground, and said with a somewhat cold face: "Do you know why I summoned you into the palace?" ”

"The minister is afraid, the minister doesn't know!" The corners of Li Min's mouth rose slightly, but he pretended to be very nervous on the surface.

Even if you think about it with your toes, you know that Zhu Youzhi summoned them into the palace this time, precisely because their household department supported the refutation on the grounds of indiscriminate salt introduction, which provoked this new monarch to ask for guilt.

It's just that what can be done, and today's household can be said to be united. Even if you are the emperor who is high, you are only incompetent and furious here, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Zhu Youzhu felt the sleek of Li Min and others, but fortunately he had not had much expectation for these benevolent and moral ministers, so he said lightly: "I have always thought that the officials of the six ministries are the most rare to be the officials of several households, not only to be honest and honest, but also to have arithmetic majors, you are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"This is the duty of the ministers, and I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" The corners of Li Min's mouth grinned to the root of his ears, and he immediately expressed his loyalty.

Since this emperor knows the importance of their household department Shangshu profession, as long as the officials of the household department advance and retreat together, then this emperor will be jealous.

After all, if there is no sufficient number of financial management experts, it is really difficult to make the household run smoothly, so they are actually indispensable.

Zhu Youzhu ignored the complacent Li Min, and his eyes fell on the newly appointed right attendant of the household department, Ye Qi, and said, "Ye Aiqing! ”

"The minister is here!" Ye Qi was slightly stunned, and immediately responded.

Zhu Youzhu looked at this pampered and well-pampered white little old man, and said openly: "Lang Tingtui, the right servant of the household, although I don't like Sun Jiamo's old age, I don't like you!" The household department is in charge of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, and it should have both arithmetic professions, and your resume does not involve the household department! ”

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, if he can figure out the preferences of the son of heaven, this is undoubtedly conducive to his career.

Now hearing Zhu Youji's words, I can't help but feel a burst of secret joy in my heart, and today's new Tianzi is clearly an affirmation of their financial management skills.

"Your Majesty, although the minister has never served in the household department, he likes to read on weekdays, and he is involved in arithmetic and financial management, and the minister's art is no worse than that of his colleagues, and the minister will be able to do this job!" Ye Qi knew the oil and water in this position, and even boasted about himself.

Lang Zhong, Wai Lang and the principal who were present silently exchanged glances, His Majesty promoted their household officials so much, and as a result, this new old man demoted them again, which was really unpleasant.

The affairs of the household department involve the knowledge of arithmetic, and it also contains the road of financial management, which can be made up by a few broken books of yours? What a joke!

Zhu Youzhu didn't want to go around flirting with people now, so he said reasonably: "Since Jiuqing Court recommended you, you must indeed be qualified for this position!" It's just that the household department is in charge of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, the court will push the household servant Lang, and it will no longer be voted by foreign officials, but should be elected by the thirteen Lang Zhongchao. Since today's trial production, you and the thirteen divisions of the household department are not disappointed! ”

"The ministers are willing to die for Your Majesty!" The officials of the thirteenth division of the household department had a high bladder, and they had already seen a broad road, so they excitedly expressed their loyalty.

This time, the officials of the 13 departments of the Ministry of Households, except for some officials who left Beijing to do business, all came here by order, and there were as many as 32 people in total.

Unlike the six yamen under the jurisdiction of the four divisions, there are as many as thirteen divisions under the jurisdiction of the household department, and many of the household departments cannot get the prefect of the four products.

Now that His Majesty has opened the opportunity to overtake the three rank household servants from the five ranks, it is simply great news, how can they not feel excited?

I thought that I would be reprimanded by His Majesty when I came in this time, but no one thought that His Majesty would raise their household department so much, and even open up the promotion channel from Langzhong to Shilang, which is simply their reborn parents.

"Your Majesty, it is not in line with the conventions of this dynasty to select the household servants from the thirteen divisions, and this matter should be based on the old system!" Li Min's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately stood up and admonished.

This......

The officials of the Thirteenth Division present all looked up at Li Min, the head of the household department in front of them, although the other party was in a high position, they wanted to step forward and hammer this old thing to death at this moment.

Liang Fang had been standing silently beside the dragon chair, keenly observing the subtle changes in these household officials, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Youji with complicated eyes.

Perhaps because he was brought up by the emperor's grandmother, Zhu Youzhu has always lacked the decisiveness and domineering of the emperor, but was stained with the indecisiveness of a woman.

It is for such a reason that even Emperor Chenghua, who once loved Zhu Youzhi very much, couldn't help but sigh that the crown prince was not the best choice.

Originally, he thought the same, but since Zhu Youji inherited the unification, the performance of this young son of heaven is far beyond imagination. After taking power in person, he did not rush to make drastic moves, but adopted a measured approach to advance and retreat, and was controlling the situation step by step.

The household that was still like a monolith just now, and now it only takes a few words, and now there are cracks.

Zhu Youzhi's wisdom naturally comes from his previous life, although he was suppressed by his background in his previous life, and his whole life was not successful, but as the first player in the school in the high school entrance examination, his intelligence is enough to crush many people.

Cough......

Ye Qi, the right attendant of the household department, realized that Li Min's remarks would lose the "mass base", so he coughed lightly and reminded his friend of the same year.

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect that this Hubu Shangshu still didn't seem to take his majesty seriously, and immediately said undoubtedly: "This is a trial production, Li Shangshu doesn't need to say more!" Gather all of you here today, and you must already know that I am going to test your karma! ”

"We've guessed it a long time ago, ah...... Examination? ”

All the household officials present thought that they had seen through Zhu Youji, but they never expected that it would be an exam, which made everyone dumbfounded unexpectedly.

Zhu Youzhu saw the reaction of these people, and continued to announce: "I have set up a special household hall test in the Huagai Hall today, and all the officials of your household department will answer here, and you must not cheat, and those who have the last results will be dismissed!" ”

Dismissed?

Hearing that the person with the worst score had to be eliminated in this exam, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in horror, this thing was really too sudden.

Li Min knew that he couldn't sit still, so he even gave his henchmen a look.

Chen Hui was the first to jump out and admonish: "Your Majesty, this kind of practice is unconventional, the exam is something that has never been done before, and please take back your Majesty's life!" ”

"I want a talent who takes care of the money bag for Daming, not a person who eats a vegetarian meal! I don't care what you did before, and what connections you used to get into the household department, but now my household department must be filled by talented people in important positions! Zhu Youzhu knew that the thirteen divisions of the household department could not have one heart, and even threw out his own concept of employing people.

Talented people in important positions?

When Gao Kui in Yunnan Shilang heard this, his eyes immediately burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take the test!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to take the test!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take the test, please ask the question!"

……

The officials of the Thirteenth Division, who think highly of themselves, saw the hope of life and saw their own broad road, and even stood up one after another.

Compared with the unreliable thighs of Li Min, the head of the household, they are more willing to choose to believe in the Son of Heaven in front of them, not to mention that Li Min will not be able to give them the life of the household servant.

For a while, the emotion of wanting to fight against the imperial power together disappeared without a trace, and now I just want to grasp this rare opportunity.

This......

Li Min couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw that the development of the situation was completely out of his control.

Zhu Youzhu saw ambition in the eyes of these people, and immediately said lightly: "Very good!" Trees are hard to come by, and I hope you will do your best to face this exam, and this result will be crucial for your future promotion! ”

"The ministers will go all out to repay the king's kindness!" The officials of the Thirteenth Division are now worried about whether Zhu Youzhi can come up with some high-level questions, so they said in unison.
