Complaints aside, Lu Chen actually didn't have much of a problem with the empress's arrangement.
Anyway, it's not bad for him. It's good to have access to more official documents, which will be more conducive to his dismissal plan.
After all, if you do too much, you will make many mistakes.
The Engineering Department where he currently works is, as the name suggests, the section officer responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, which has the least presence among the six departments.
Now that the empress has just taken charge of the government, the Ministry of Industry has not taken any action yet, so there is no chance to implement his plan to ascend to immortality for the time being.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so absent-minded these past two days.
But the staff department is different.
For such a key department, the government affairs involved must be complicated, and it is very likely that there are hidden chains of interests one after another.
After all, Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel is not just a verbal title.
Therefore, there must be a lot of trouble among the officials!
Hard work means trouble, even a big hole that even the emperor is unwilling to touch.
And trouble and all, for him now, it is simply what he wants!
So, after sending the eunuch away pretending to be grateful and determined to repay his kindness, Lu Chen casually picked up an official document and prepared to see if there was any chance of causing trouble.
But at this moment——
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu!"
The engineering students from the same court room and three other engineering majors all stood up at the same time and came to Lu Chen's desk. Then they raised their hands and complimented Lu Chen with a flattering expression.
"In order for Mr. Lu to be able to take over the three pavilions as soon as possible, and to be the leader of all officials, Your Majesty did not hesitate to break the rules for Mr. Lu. Such painstaking efforts show how much your Majesty attaches great importance to Mr. Lu!"
"Master Lu is a scholar of heaven and earth, and he has your majesty's trust. In the future, he will definitely be able to help your majesty create a prosperous world and be famous for eternity!"
"I also hope that Mr. Lu will never forget the friendship between my colleagues and me, and support us as much as possible after his rise to prominence."
"Mr. Lu, do you still remember? When you first joined the engineering department, your subordinates treated you to dinner~"
"The admiration I have for you, Mr. Lu, is like the endless flow of a surging river! It is also like the overflowing of the Yellow River, which is out of control!"
"..."
Hearing the flattery, Lu Chen, who only wanted to be dismissed from office, not only did not feel the slightest joy, but as if someone had sprinkled salt on the wound, his anger rose up and spread throughout his body in just a moment.
God is a scholar and heavenly being! I have only been in the court for more than a month. I have never done anything serious, and I am not even a Jinshi. How can I be such a pedantic person? !
Resign? I am at the same level as you, okay?
The roaring river? Are you the funny guy invited by Master Xing?
Snapped!
Lu Chen threw away the official document in his hand, and then slapped the table hard.
A crisp loud noise instantly sounded in the engineering corridor room.
"You guys are very idle, aren't you?!"
The cold words instantly made the faces of the people around who were desperately blowing rainbow farts freeze.
Lu Chen said coldly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. No matter what your Majesty does, whether it is reward or punishment, it is a kindness that we and other ministers will never be able to repay in this life! I should be honorable and disgraceful as I serve you." , take it calmly, do not become proud and complacent because of your majesty’s appreciation, and do not feel resentful because of your majesty’s punishment!”
"As long as His Majesty does not remove us from our official positions, we must devote all our energy to the official duties entrusted to us by Your Majesty. Otherwise, it will be slacking off! It will be dereliction of duty!!"
Hearing this increasingly severe reprimand, everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Their flattery is all about the horse's legs...
At the same time, I also felt that Lu Chen was mentally ill? Otherwise, how could it be so different?
They fawn over just to make a good sale. Even if they don't help in the future, at least they won't cause trouble for them. They are somewhat concerned about the friendship they once had from a public house.
But forget it if you don’t accept it. The worst thing is that we just don’t mess with each other in the future. There’s no need to rebuke them with such fierce words, right?
Look at your red face and thick neck, it's as if this vast country is your home, and the world's surname is Lu rather than Jiang.
is it necessary?
For a moment, everyone who reacted felt uneasy and a little resentful in their hearts. They even looked at Lu Chen with an imperceptible anger and resentment in their eyes.
Lu Chen was too lazy to pay attention to them. After scolding him, he buried his head and continued to read the official documents.
For those official documents that are basically useless, just agree to them all without bothering to waste time on them.
However, it was also due to the fact that the Empress was in charge of the dynasty for the first time. Although there were many official documents from the Ministry of Personnel and they were large in magnitude, most of them were quite satisfactory and of little value to him, so he reviewed them very quickly, and he reviewed most of them in less than half a day.
Until he was almost impatient, thinking that today would still be the same as before and he would get nothing...
"Um?"
Holding an ordinary official document, he was suddenly startled.
Then, with some inexplicable surprise, he once again focused his eyes on the content in front of him that had been marked "accurate" by the empress's ink pen, and at the same time, he silently recited it unconsciously.
"After investigation, Yongchuan County Magistrate Xia Yan has a close relationship with the Demon Queen's family, and the account books found in the rebellious minister Zhou Yong's mansion also contain records of bribery. The amount of bribes is as high as more than 200,000 yuan! Now Xia Yan and his family have All of them have been arrested and will be escorted to the capital in a few days. Xie Qian, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, boldly requested an order to have these people punished in the canon, so as to eliminate the corruption left by the Demon Queen's chaotic government and restore peace to the world!"
Putting down the official document, Lu Chen began to think about it.
As a native of Yongchuan, I am naturally no stranger to my former parents.
After all, the last step to join the sect and become a cultivator is to obtain the relevant documents issued by the local county government, and basically the county magistrate in every place will personally organize a farewell party every year to prepare for each session of the sect. The cultivators saw him off.
The predecessor's impression of Xia Yan was actually not very good.
In the memory of his predecessor, among the twelve cultivators of his generation, there was a high-ranking disciple from the capital. Xia Yan specially raised the standard of the banquet. There were many delicacies on the table, which was enough for the high-ranking disciple. Face can even be said to be extremely flattering.
The dignified seventh-grade county magistrate was so flattering to a cultivator. Even though the county was not rich, he used so much money to please a young man.
Therefore, the upright predecessor looked down upon Xia Yan.
But no matter what, Xia Yan entertained him in a serious manner, and he didn't get stuck on his paperwork, which was the worst at the time. He didn't embarrass him because of his background. Instead, he went out of his way to encourage him at the end. .
Therefore, he never said anything bad about Xia Yan. When others mentioned it, he would just say a few good words for him and then end the topic in a hurry.
After he was admitted to Jinshi, he never wrote a letter to Xia Yan, as if he had never met him before.
But now, the official from his hometown who once had some kindness to him is in jail, and the evidence is conclusive, and there is basically no possibility of overturning the case.
There seems to be some room for maneuver in this matter...
Anyway, after you become an immortal, you can do whatever you want. At worst, you will have to sort it out...
