Du Gangfeng did not have any hesitation or hesitation, because he was Zhao Shan's minister and had no choice but to rush forward.
Otherwise, someone else will take your place.
Du Gangfeng said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take on the heavy responsibility. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, I will never take a step back. As long as there are corrupt officials, the Yushitai will work hard to detect lawlessness."
Zhao Shan said: "Don't worry, I don't need you to go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire. I will make you a real imperial censor. The censorship platform is independent and belongs directly to me, and no longer accepts the jurisdiction of the prime minister. You serve as deputy prime minister and censorship doctor, Ranked from the first rank.”
call! !
Du Gangfeng's breathing quickened.
Deputy Prime Minister, Imperial Censor!
This combination of official positions means that he, the imperial censor, is no longer a subordinate of the prime minister, and will have great power. To some extent, it has been able to influence the Prime Minister.
Even, the prime minister can be impeached.
Du Gangfeng was excited. He stood up and saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, Du Gangfeng, will never let you down. If the Yushitai fails to complete its mission, I will leave it to your Majesty's disposal."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said, "I believe you."
With Du Gangfeng's statement, Zhao Shan believed that Du Gangfeng would start planning and making arrangements for the summit. After all, Yushitai had taken Shang Fang's sword.
If Du Gangfeng didn't take any measures, he would be in vain as a censor.
Du Gangfeng said: "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Go."
Du Gangfeng bowed to Zhao Shan, turned around and walked out. Instead of returning to the Yushitai office, he went straight home and sat alone in his study.
From time to time, a few chuckles came from the study, and from time to time there were murmurs.
The old housekeeper outside the study heard the sound and was worried that Du Gangfeng had lost his mind and went crazy, so he quickly reported it to Du Gangfeng's wife Li.
Mrs. Li was also a little panicked and went directly to the study.
She walked up to Du Gangfeng, touched his forehead, and relaxed a little when she found that his body temperature was normal. Then she asked, "Husband, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?"
Du Gangfeng's eyes were calm, his head held high, and he said loudly: "I'm better than ever. What can happen?"
Li said: "The housekeeper said that you were snickering and muttering in the study, which was a bit abnormal. There is also something wrong with your husband's current state."
Du Gangfeng stroked his beard, waved his hand and said: "Women, long hair but short of knowledge, what do you know? Now that I'm here, I also have something to tell you clearly, so as not to go wrong next time."
He looked at the butler and told him to close the door.
In the study, only Du Gangfeng and his wife Li were left, and there was no third person.
Du Gangfeng said directly: "Madam, Your Majesty promoted me to serve as deputy prime minister and imperial censor, with an official position of the first rank. Now, I am second only to Prime Minister Zhuge. To some extent, I am not inferior to Prime Minister Zhuge, because The Yushitai is on duty to inspect hundreds of officials."
Li was surprised when she heard it.
At this moment, Mrs. Li was also very happy and said happily: "Congratulations to me on your promotion. I am very lucky. The ancestral graves of our old Du family are smoking."
Du Gangfeng snorted and said in a deep voice: "It is a high promotion, but it is not easy. From the first rank, you are an important minister of the country, and you cannot give people casually. Your Majesty cannot only give benefits without taking responsibility."
Mrs. Li said excitedly: "No matter what responsibilities he has, it is a great good thing that my husband is from the first rank. I must prepare to sacrifice to my ancestors and tell my ancestors that they will all have fun together."
Du Gangfeng rolled his eyes and continued: "Your Majesty asked me to serve as deputy prime minister so that I can deal with corrupt officials."
Mrs. Li was confused and said: "Just clean it up, you are the deputy prime minister anyway."
Du Gangfeng said: "To deal with corrupt officials, many people's interests will be involved, and some people may criticize me. Maybe, there may even be people who are eager to jump over the wall and arrange for someone to assassinate me."
"ah!"
Mr. Li exclaimed in surprise.
She was happy because Du Gangfeng was promoted, but she didn't want to remain a widow.
After Mrs. Li swallowed her saliva, she thought about it carefully and said, "Husband, why don't you tell your majesty that you no longer want to be deputy prime minister, and let your majesty choose someone wiser. I think it would be good to be the wife of a royal censor, but I don't want to Be the prime minister’s wife.”
Du Gangfeng felt happy.
Sure enough, it scared my wife, otherwise it would be bad if her wife wandered and it would affect the overall situation.
Du Gangfeng said quickly: "It is impossible to shirk His Majesty's arrangements. If you don't do it, you will offend His Majesty. In the blink of an eye, you may be demoted and find a reason to be thrown to the ends of the earth to become an official. Do you think it is more terrible to offend His Majesty or to offend a corrupt official? Are dirty officials more terrifying?"
"This, this, this..."
Li Shi completely stuttered.
On one side is the emperor, on the other side is the possibility of assassination by corrupt officials. Both sides are very dangerous and no one can afford to offend them.
Mrs. Li was so distraught that she was about to cry. She said anxiously: "Husband, what should I do?"
Du Gangfeng sighed: "What else can I do? I can only go ahead and get things done for Your Majesty. As long as I complete His Majesty's arrangements, I will be the deputy prime minister. But to accomplish this, I need your wife's support."
Mrs. Li wondered: "I am a woman, what can I do?"
Du Gangfeng explained patiently: "I don't have any fear when working in the officialdom, because I have a clean slate. But at home, it is easy to get into trouble, so you have to check the home to make sure there are no violations of law or discipline, accepting bribes, etc."
"I'm busy outside, and my family is entrusted to Madam, please take good care of me. The future status of the Du family, whether Madam will have a royal decree in the future, and whether our son will receive a reward in the future, all depends on you."
Mrs. Li suddenly became excited.
Unexpectedly, a woman like myself would one day be able to help her husband.
Ms. Li said without hesitation: "Please don't worry, husband, I will take good care of the family and there will never be any mistakes or problems."
Du Gangfeng laughed, took Ms. Li's hand and said with emotion: "A good wife and a good husband will bring few troubles to my family. I, Du Gangfeng, only married a good wife because of the smoke coming from my ancestral grave."
A hint of shyness appeared on Li's face.
Old couples also have spring. The atmosphere and interest have arrived. Du Gangfeng comforted the old wife deeply. In the afternoon, Du Gangfeng did not go to the Yushitai, but stayed at home to arrange and prepare.
It was early the next morning.
Du Gangfeng first went to a coffin shop near Du's house, bought a coffin directly, and dragged it to the Yushitai Office with a carriage.
When Du Gangfeng arrived at the Yushitai, he arranged for the coffin to be placed in the lobby of the government office.
When the news came out, countless people in the Yushitai were shocked. Why is the Censor so crazy?
It turned out to be a big scene.
Du Gangfeng ignored the discussions in the Yushitai and sat calmly beside the coffin. Then he arranged for his followers to pass the order and notify all the officials in the Yushitai to come to the lobby to discuss matters. He wanted to arrange the next anti-corruption task.
