"Trash, we are all a bunch of trash, what are we? We are officials!
So this is what you did?
waste!
What's the point of asking you!
ah!
You say it!
What's the use of asking you!
Don't dare to offend this. Don't dare to offend that.
A benefit was received here, a benefit was received there.
You are trying to blame each other, I really want to chop you all with one knife! "
Bai Yehuang had just walked into the Ministry of Personnel today when he heard the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was yelling curses. While cursing, Bai Yezhu also heard the sound of throwing things.
"you."
Bai Yehuang walked in and released his spiritual pressure a little.
Feeling Bai Yechun's spiritual pressure, the Minister of Libu immediately shut up.
"your Highness."
Li Shangshu immediately turned into a dog-legged person, looked at Bai Yechun with a smile, and bowed.
Seeing how Li Shangshu changed so quickly, his appearance was completely different from one second to the next. All these changes gave them some understanding of why he could climb to the position of Minister of Libu.
"Why is Mr. Li so angry?"
Bai Yehuang glanced at these people.
Bai Yehuang has seen these people, and they are all from the Department of Official Affairs.
"It's so early in the morning that I dirty your ears, Princess. In fact, it's not a big deal."
Master Li smiled and said, it seemed that he was just joking and didn't want to tell Bai Yexu about this matter.
Because Li Shangshu received an order not to allow Bai Yezhu to participate in anything, and kept her idle until she became panicked.
But in fact, Li Shangshu still has a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
That's why Li Shangshu thinks that if this matter is really handed over to Bai Yechun'er, it will be solved very well, and there will be no need to worry about such a problem.
Therefore, Li Shangshu showed a slight hesitation and hesitation.
Li Shangshu's hesitation and hesitation were sensitively captured by Bai Yezhu.
"It's wrong for Li Shangshu to say that."
Bai Yexiao smiled, thinking there might be something interesting.
"Now that Xiaguan has joined the Ministry of Personnel, he is now a member of the Ministry of Personnel, and the matters of the Ministry of Personnel are the matters of Xiaguan.
Furthermore, as a Yuanwailang, isn’t it normal to share the worries of Lord Shangshu? "
"this"
Li Shangshu hesitated again and again, turning his eyes and looking a bit cunning.
"If that's the case, then I'll have the guts to talk to His Highness."
Li Shangshu reluctantly spoke.
What’s interesting is that Bai Yehuang calls himself a lower official to Li Shangshu, which is normal, because Bai Yehuang, as a Yuanwailang, was originally Li Shangshu’s subordinate.
But the problem is that Li Shangshu claims to be a lower official to Bai Yexu, which seems very disrespectful.
But no one corrected me, and I thought it was normal.
"Actually, this matter also depends on the hereditary title assessment that takes place every ten years."
As he spoke, Li Shangshu's face showed a trace of sadness.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess also knows that the hereditary title assessment held once every ten years is not an easy thing to do.
But no matter how difficult the job is, as officials of the imperial court, we must do our best to do our job well and share the worries of the Holy One.
But I didn't expect it.
These guys”
Li Shangshu kept pointing his fingers at the officials of the seal inspection department who were kneeling in front of them.
"In this assessment of hereditary titles, a total of one duke, three marquis, and six earl will be abolished.
But none of these guys dared to offend anyone!
I don’t know how much money they charged those gentlemen! This matter has been going on for nearly a month, but there has been no progress at all.
These guys refuse to come up with a list!
When I asked them specifically, they were vague!
Damn it! "
As he spoke, Li Shangshu was so angry that he kicked them again.
One person, one kick, very equal.
When Li Shangshu mentioned this, Bai Yechu basically understood it.
The title verification department is mainly responsible for managing officials' titles, rewards, pensions, and the hereditary inheritance of local officials.
It is easy to understand the seals and rewards. Pensions refer to the amount of pension and memorial silver given by the court after the death of an official, how the deceased is buried, whether and what kind of stone tablet can be erected.
The mourning and honor an official receives after his death is closely related to his rank during his lifetime and the situation at that time.
Looking at it this way, the Seal Inspection Department seems to be a relatively leisurely department.
The reality is otherwise.
The seal inspection department is actually a very difficult department to run in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
This difficulty is especially reflected in the aspect of "hereditary".
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the titles are also divided into five titles: Duke, Marquis and Uncle. Excluding the last two titles, the total number of these three titles in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is fully 300.
But in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, one is awarded a title every year.
To be ennobled is to have a fiefdom
But the fiefdom of Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom is limited.
Not only that, if there were too many titles, they would be worthless.
If a title is worthless, it means nothing.
Therefore, every ten years, the imperial court of Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom will clear out some titles.
It's okay to say that viscounts and barons are just minor officials anyway. Through continuous hereditary inheritance, their influence is getting smaller and smaller. If they want to be abolished, it is basically not difficult to abolish them.
But the problem lies in the three titles of Duke, Marquis and Uncle.
These three titles are of considerable power.
You can't just abolish others casually.
Otherwise, if someone mobilizes their forces a little bit, your life should be saved, but the problem is that your official position may not be saved.
Therefore, every ten years when this important event comes, the Sealing Inspection Department will be cleaned.
Those nobles were deposed. It is impossible that your seal inspection department was not guilty at all, right?
If this is the case, you need to find a scapegoat, and one of these scapegoats is definitely not enough, at least three are needed.
In other words, out of the ten people in the Examination Department, three people will definitely be fired, which is equivalent to being "buried" with those nobles.
But who wants to throw away their bright future?
So the seal inspection department started to kick the ball.
As soon as the ball was kicked, Li Shangshu became very unhappy.
In fact, Li Shangshu also knew that they would not find the scapegoat until the last day.
The list will not be given either.
Therefore, Li Shangshu would keep exerting pressure every time at this time.
Anyway, someone must be sacrificed. Besides, it's not death. You can still get a large sum of money and "retire and return home."
But the problem is that these lords this time are not easy to mess with.
Compared with the previous lords, in this decade, all the lords have become very powerful, and there are no families that have lost their support.
If it is abolished, it may not be a simple resignation, and it is very likely that even the life will not be saved.
So this time the seal inspection department united and refused to do anything!
After all, if you do it, you will die!
I don’t want to die!
Likewise, Li Shangshu did not want to get involved in this matter.
I have done a good job as minister, but I don't want my future to be ruined.
This is why Li Shangshu chose to tell Bai Yezhu about this matter with a little selfishness.
Your Highness, don’t you really want to do something?
If that's the case, then it's up to you to do it. Let's see if you want to do it.
If Bai Yehuang takes the initiative to accept the next step, it will be Baiyehuang jumping into this pit of fire, and it will be none of his own business.
If Bai Yehuang doesn't do it, then he won't do it. He has no hope anyway.
However, Li Shangshu felt that Bai Yexiao would definitely not pick up such a hot potato, unless Bai Yexiao was crazy.
In fact, if you look at it this way, if you can abolish the hereditary qualifications of earls and princes at will, then the power of the official department is really boundless.
But this is what the current Demon King did deliberately.
Because the Demon King knows that this matter is not easy to handle.
If you can't take the blame yourself, then let others take the blame.
Anyway, it’s not me who said you were deposed, it was the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs who did it, and it’s none of your business.
"If Mr. Li is willing to believe what the official says, the official is willing to share Mr. Li's worries."
Just when Li Shangshu was thinking that he should find a way to solve this problem by himself, Bai Yexu suddenly spoke.
Bai Yexiang's opening was like a ray of light, shining into everyone's hearts.
Everyone in the seal inspection department felt that they suddenly had hope again, and that they might not be so miserable.
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to take over this matter?"
Li Shangshu persuaded him that he looked very embarrassed on the outside, but in his heart he was already secretly happy, but he still had to work hard on the surface.
"This matter is not trivial, and there are relatives of Her Royal Highness Princess involved. Her Highness the Princess will offend many people."
"What about relatives? So what if things are difficult? As Master Li just said, we just want to share your worries and do our responsibilities well.
Since this is our duty, Ye Shu naturally has to do it. "
Bai Yexiang's tone was very firm.
In particular, Bai Yexiao also knew that he and Li Shangshu were just going through a formality.
In fact, this Li Shangshu had long wanted to leave this matter to himself.
"good!"
Li Shangshu suddenly straightened his back.
"What a great place of responsibility, worthy of Your Highness the Princess!
As expected of the royal family of our Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom! What courage!
In that case, I have one thing for you to ask of Your Highness the Princess.
From today on, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the director of the Conferment Verification Department. The ten people in the Conferment Verification Department are at the disposal of Her Highness the Princess! "
Li Shangshu bowed deeply to Bai Yexiu, looking very solemn.
After the stone in his heart fell to the ground, Li Shangshu was already thinking about which brothel he should go to tonight.
"yes."
Bai Yexiao also bowed in return and took a deep breath in his heart.
Bai Yehuang knew that this was a fire pit.
But Bai Yexiao knew that he had to jump into this pit of fire!
if not! I really don’t know if I will have another chance in the future, and I really want to waste my energy in the position of Yuanwailang.
Even if this matter reaches the ears of my father and uncle, and they learn that they have not taken the initiative to take over this matter, it will be a sign of lack of courage!
I am not like the other brothers, who can have several opportunities.
But since I am a girl, I only have one chance. If I miss it, my father and uncle will not give me another chance.
I can only be a vase-like princess.
And on the afternoon when Bai Yexu took office as the director of the seal inspection department, Mr. Ha walked into the imperial study.
In the Imperial Study Room, the Demon Emperor was reviewing the memorial.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Ha bent down and said, "There is news from the Fifth Princess."
"Oh? What news?"
The Demon Emperor didn't seem to care at all and was still reviewing the memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Fifth Princess was appointed by Li Shangshu as the director of the Conferment Verification Department at midnight this morning, responsible for the 'de nobility' matter that occurs once every ten years."
As soon as Eunuch Ha's words came to light, the Demon Emperor's hand that was reviewing the memorial suddenly stopped.
The room fell into silence for a while.
The Demon King put down the brush and the memorial in his hand, raised his head and said, "Who means that?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, it is the Fifth Princess's own wish, at midnight this morning."
Eunuch Ha told the Demon Emperor everything that happened in the Ministry of Rites this morning.
After listening, the imperial study fell into silence, with only the index finger of the Demon Emperor's left hand gently clasping the jade case.
In the past month, the Demon King seemed not to care about his daughter, but in fact, every day someone would report everything about Bai Yexu in the staff department.
His daughter was ostracized and marginalized, which was completely expected by the Demon King.
If your daughter chooses to leave the official department in anger, or she will change her identity or use her uncle to use her power to suppress others.
Then the Demon Emperor will rate Bai Yechun as unqualified.
The consequence of failing to meet the standards is that Bai Yehuang will never be able to step into the officialdom from now on. Bai Yehuang can just be the noblest princess she can be.
This was not only a decision made by the Demon Emperor himself, but also acquiesced to it together with Duan Bo.
But after her daughter was ostracized, she did not lose any temper. Instead, she sat in her position and kept reading the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel to understand the responsibilities of each department of the Ministry of Personnel.
This approach has already made the Demon Emperor extremely satisfied.
However, the Demon King felt that continuing like this was not an option.
He wanted to help his daughter create an event. After all, he wanted to test her daughter, but if he continued like this, he wouldn't even have a chance to test her.
But I didn't expect that my daughter would take the initiative to find such an opportunity that was not an opportunity.
"I understand, go down."
"yes."
Eunuch Ha slowly stepped back.
The Demon Emperor was the only one in the study, and the Demon Emperor couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the painting on the wall, it shows a woman playing with a cat.
"Ye Yan is really carved from the same mold as you."
