Chapter 353 My Mirror!

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, also known as the Golden Palace in the folks, is where the emperor and all officials hold their morning courts. All those who can appear in the Hall of Supreme Harmony are important officials in the court.

Those young officials in Xuanyang, especially those who have just passed the imperial examination, all regard being able to attend court meetings as their lifelong goal.

Bai Yuan was led by Eunuch Chang and finally arrived at this place where Xuan Yang had the highest power.

"Your humble servant Bai Yuan pays respect to His Majesty."

Bai Yuan knelt on one knee, and there was no sign that a time traveler could not kneel.

You refuse to kneel when you see the emperor. Do you really think you have nine lives?
He is always good at adapting to local customs.

Because he was the general of Lingzhou and a full-fledged military officer, he only had to kneel on one knee. This was also a rule set by Emperor Taizu who advocated martial ethics.

Even though the military officer group has been gradually suppressed by the civil officials thousands of years later, no one dares to change this ancestral system.

"Get up."

A majestic voice sounded.

Bai Yuan then slowly stood up.

He glanced at the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne, that was the current emperor of Xuanyang.

The emperor is the emperor, without any prefix.

For example, the word "Taizu" in Emperor Taizu's name was a temple name given after his death.

Even though this emperor is now certain to be given the temple name Emperor Wen, if anyone dares to speak ill of Emperor Wen in public, exterminating ten of his clans would be considered merciful.

Emperor Xuanyang looked to be no more than forty years old, with a fair complexion and no beard, a dignified look, and an air of nobility.

I heard that he is a grandmaster who has broken through the Mingxin Pass. Even the Li royal family cannot produce powerful masters in every generation.

Apart from the emperor, the court officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were divided into two factions.

One row is for civil officials and the other row is for military officers.

The number of civil servants is obviously much larger than that of military officers.

Standing at the front of the civil servants was an old man with a straight back. It went without saying that he was the Taifu, who was ranked first among the civil servants.

Originally, the person at the front of the line of military officers should have been Taibao Yan Shaoan, but now Yan Shaoan was monopolizing Lingzhou, so he had to be replaced by Minister of War Xu Dingchun.

In fact, according to the etiquette system, there should be another person who is ranked alongside Taifu and Taibao, and that is Taishi, the head of the Three Dukes.

It’s just that in Xuanyang, the position of Grand Master is just a nominal one, and no living person has that chance at all, so the current Grand Master is Du Qinghui who died in battle a long time ago.

Emperor Xuanyang looked at Bai Yuan, who was standing in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with interest.

"Lord Bai, you have made outstanding contributions in resisting the Demon Sect. You can tell me what reward you want."

Hearing this, all the court officials were shocked.

The highlight of today is finally here.

Bai Yuan is a genius listed on the Hidden Dragon List, and the Hidden Dragon List was founded by the current emperor himself, so as long as Bai Yuan’s request is not too excessive, almost all of it will be agreed.

Otherwise, if the fourth Hidden Dragon behaved like this, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Emperor, and the prestige of the Hidden Dragon List would be greatly reduced in the future.

Every position among Beijing officials is of vital importance, and often leads to fierce disputes among all parties.

Not to mention that Bai Yuan is most likely a third-rank official, which will have a significant impact on all parties in the court.

Under the gazes of everyone, Bai Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty for an official position to serve my country with all my heart."

The court officials in the hall narrowed their eyes unconsciously.

Emperor Li Chengyuan of Xuanyang leaned forward slightly and said, "My dear minister, please tell me about it."

He was not surprised at all that Bai Yuan asked for an official position.

Li Chengyuan has always prided himself on being a wise ruler with lofty ambitions.

He was determined to weaken the sect's influence in Xuanyang, so he created the Hidden Dragon List and competed with sects all over the world for martial arts seeds.

The reason why Bai Yuan's official position remained undecided for a long time was actually because Li Chengyuan wanted to hear Bai Yuan's own thoughts.

If you want to compete with those ten-thousand-year-old great sects for talents, you still need to have the broad mind of respecting the wise and humble. Otherwise, the situation where the young officials of Xuanyang are inferior to the previous generation will only get worse.

Bai Yuan's eyes were firm: "I beg Your Majesty to allow me to enter the Censorate to protect Xuanyang Qingming!"

What?
Metropolitan Procuratorate!
All the court officials looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking they had heard wrongly.

When Li Chengyuan heard that Bai Yuan actually took the initiative to go to the Censorate, he couldn't help but become more curious.

Although he is an emperor, he is also well versed in the ways of officialdom. Which good official would go to the Censorate?

"Why do you want to go to the Censorate?"

Bai Yuan looked earnest and spoke passionately: "Lord Du has shown me great kindness. I wish to carry on Lord Du's legacy and keep the world peaceful and clear!"

Li Chengyuan's smile faded and his expression became sad.

"Du Qing"

There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and Du Qinghui's sincere advice was still ringing in his ears.

He hasn't heard the truth for a long time since Du Qinghui died in battle.

As the emperor, he had of course heard that Du Qinghui had a fondness for Bai Yuan in Lingzhou, and that Bai Yuan had even personally built a cenotaph for Du Qinghui.

My mirror!

Li Chengyuan immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I will appoint you as the Left Vice-Censor of the Censorate, but don't let me and Lord Du down."

Bai Yuan knelt again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The corners of the mouths of the court officials twitched.

Inherit Du Qinghui's legacy?
They are all thousand-year-old bastards, who still believes this?

The meeting dispersed.

Emperor Li Chengyuan began his busy day.

The court officials walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in groups of three or four, casting glances at Bai Yuan from time to time.

Originally, according to the attitude of the Emperor today, Bai Yuan would probably agree even if he asked for a bigger gift.

But I didn't expect Bai Yuan to get such an unimportant position.

The Censorate is a place where family members who are not very successful usually go, and there is really no official career to be found there.

This is the first time I've seen someone go to the Censorate on his own initiative.

Bai Yuan was walking alone on the way out of the palace with a calm expression.

Inheriting Old Man Du's will was of course just an excuse. After all, taking the initiative to go to the Censorate was such a strange thing, so one had to find a suitable reason, and Old Man Du was the best shield.

I think based on my friendship with Old Man Du, Old Man Du probably wouldn't blame me if he knew about it in the underworld.

Maybe Old Man Du has already been reincarnated, and he would not say anything at all then.

Guo Yingru, the old assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, walked up to Bai Yuan and looked at him with a complicated expression.

He had been in the Ministry of Personnel for decades, and Bai Yuan was the first person he could not see through.

The matter of selecting the Censorate is really difficult to evaluate.

For those poor disciples, the Censorate is naturally a first-rate place to go, but for a genius like Bai Yuan who is already listed on the Hidden Dragon List, it is simply the worst choice.

Originally, a number of important officials in the civil service group speculated that Bai Yuan would ask for the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

If this were true, the old man standing behind the Grand Tutor would rush out without hesitation and shout, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."

But no one expected that Bai Yuan would take the initiative to become the censor of the Censorate.

This left no room for the old men to express their emotions which had been brewing for a long time.

A party dispute that was already undercurrent was resolved in this way.

It was really unexpected.
