Chapter one hundred and forty third vote

Li Mu took Yu Ruyi and glanced at him, put it next to him, and said, "Since it is a family treasure, why should I take it out? If I take it, wouldn't it be a good thing to take it away?"

"No, no, no, it's the official who sincerely wants to give it to you!"

Li Mu smiled, picked up Yu Ruyi, handed it back, and said, "I already know your feelings, but you should take it back if you are a family heirloom. I am not short of money, and I hate this bribery and accept bribes!"

Yu Wengui refused to answer and said hurriedly: "Sir, I have no intention of this!"

"Take it back!"

Seeing that Li Mu had given up his face, Yu Wengui had to take over Yu Ruyi, and Ru lost her parents. He sighed and planned to say goodbye.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Yu Wengui quickly raised his head, as if he had grabbed the last straw, and said, "What are the instructions of sir?"

"Well... I guess you have heard of what happened in the court today, right?"

Yu Wengui hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He was not sure what Li Mu was thinking, but at this time it was time to show his loyalty, so he could no longer think about it and said, "Sir, I heard about it."

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "How do you feel?"

Yu Wengui said without hesitation: "The lower officials are impressed by the courage of the master. They are not to be hiding. The lower officials are also from poor families. After more than ten years of officialdom, they have been repeatedly suppressed by aristocratic families. They have not been promoted for nearly ten years. The lower officials hate him, but they do not have the courage to say it out. Your Majesty's actions today are really angering for the poor families in the world!"

"I am very pleased that you can think so." Li Mu said: "Although there is a little bit of dirty between you and me, you have done a good job of what I have assigned you. Therefore, I will not care about your previous small mistakes. You just said that you have been in the officialdom for more than ten years. So, have you already entered the officialdom when you were in the previous dynasty?"

Yuwengui said: "I dare not hide it from the Lord. The lower officials and the Yuwen family in the previous dynasty were from the same lineage as the previous dynasty, otherwise there would not be such a good Yu Ruyi. It was just that they were not a legitimate but a illegitimate child, and they did not benefit much. During the previous dynasty, they participated in the imperial examination and entered the officialdom in the Ministry of Works. They worked as the head of the Ministry of Works for two years. After the Supreme Emperor entered Chang'an, the unimportant yamen such as the Ministry of Works continued to use officials of the previous dynasty. In the third year of Wude, the lower officials were promoted to Yuanwailang, and until today."

"Do you want to go further?"

Yu Wengui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a hot light burst out from his eyes, his breathing became rapid, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, why don't you think about it, just..."

"After I was promoted to Assistant Minister, the position of Doctor was vacant. Your Majesty had not appointed me for the time being, so I still asked me to take charge of it. I was afraid that the newcomer would not be in line with my wishes and delay the matter at hand. If I come to recommend you, Your Majesty would think you are my confidant, and he would most likely appoint you as Doctor of the Ministry of Works."

Yu Wengui knelt on the ground and said, "I wish to be the minister!"

"What's this for? Get up."

Yuwen Rule couldn't afford it, and Li Mu didn't care about him, so he let him kneel down and continued, "Things are not told, but done. When this Hou came to the Ministry of Works, he was still short-lived. Except for the Ministry of Works, no one else had seen them once, and he couldn't talk about anything. The Ministry of Works will soon establish two new prisons, one as the sealing supervisor and the other as the agricultural instrument supervisor. Your Majesty attaches great importance to them. Moreover, the affairs of these two prisons involve confidentiality and must be trustworthy."

"I don't know the people in the Ministry of Works, but you have been in the Ministry of Works for many years. I believe you know exactly who is in the Ministry of Works. I want you to have a letter of submission and edit the details of all the officials in the Ministry of Works into a book within three days and give them to me for review. After that, my husband told you to impeach some people. If you dare to do it and do it, your benefits will be indispensable. But if you mess up the matter and get imprisoned by yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

As he said that, Li Mu slightly heaviered his tone and said, "Do you understand what I said?"

Yu Wengui was immersed in the officialdom for many years, but he didn't understand what Li Mu meant. He was so shocked that he was sweating profusely behind his back and was already soaked in his clothes. Suddenly, Yu Wengui felt a little dry, licked his lips, and asked hard, "Sir, the officials can do what you said. But how do you know that after you succeed, the officials will not abandon the officials?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Yuwengui, although I can give you a reassurance first, I am unwilling to do this. You can regard this as a big gamble. What you bet on is the glory of your second half of your life. I have given you the opportunity. Whether you dare to do it is your business. I don't need to waste it. I will give you three days. If you can't finish it or don't dare to do it, I will change it in three days."

Yu Wengui stared at the young man in front of him, and couldn't believe that he was so scheming and concise. No matter how he chose this decision, it would be a very difficult thing for him. Yu Wengui took a deep breath, stood up and saluted, and said, "Sir, good news for the officials."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded with a smile, called to see the guests off, and his own doorman came over and brought Yuwengui to the door.

Seeing Yuwengui leave, Li Mu returned to the back house. There were a lot of green vegetables in the courtyard. The maids and servants were transporting them back and forth. Li Mu looked over the queue and found that there was a vegetable cellar hidden in the rockery in the courtyard. The maids and servants transported the green vegetables into the vegetable cellar.

Everyone was working, only one person was sitting on the rockery and directing everyone, holding dried fruit in his hands, looking very comfortable.

"Li Zhien, come down for me!"

"Ah!" Li Zhien heard Li Mu's voice and was so scared that the persimmon cake in his hand almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly caught it. He was afraid that Li Mu would see it, so he quickly carried it behind his back. At this time, Li Mu had already come closer, stared at Li Zhien, and said, "Everyone is working, why are you lazy? What did you just eat? Take it out!"

"No, nothing..." Although Li Zhien can speak Guanzhong dialect, and since he came to Zhulu Marquis' Mansion, Guanzhong dialect has become more and more casual, and it is no different from the locals in Chang'an on weekdays, she regains the Goguryeo flavor when she is nervous, and it sounds like a unique "cute" feeling that makes people not angry. Sometimes it doesn't work, but in front of Li Mu, he can succeed repeatedly. Originally, if his anger was seven points, after hearing her accent, it suddenly became three points, so that every time it was thunder and raining, Li Zhien never really received punishment.
