play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Lin Ming didn't hesitate at all, and immediately answered, "Sir, it is the end of the year, and the Ministry of Personnel needs to be in charge of the performance evaluation of officials at all levels. The emperor summoned the subordinates in order to understand the specific situation. "

At this point, Lin Ming did not wait for Wang Sheng to ask again, and continued to speak, "Sir, please rest assured. Since the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households have had troubles one after another before, the Ministry of Personnel in charge of the lower official is also very critical. It is also a place where things can easily go wrong. My lord told me at the beginning to restrain my officials and others, so I have already been prepared for this."

When Wang Sheng heard what Lin Ming said, he felt a little relieved. In any case, the official department was not involved in a huge monetary transaction like the household department, but what existed in the official department was power. Deployment, if the officials make mistakes and collapse step by step, that will be a truly huge loss.

But Wang Sheng was wary of the Lin family. As his daughter reminded her, the Lin family was not completely dependent on the Wang family. If Lin Ming had other intentions, the situation would only get worse. He had to take more precautions. , once there is a problem, it must be stifled by him.

Lin Ming looked at the person in front of him, called "Your Excellency", and then said: "Today, the emperor summoned the subordinates and asked about all the matters. The subordinates answered the questions. The emperor did not have any suspicion, and all the performance appraisals involved in the staff department were answered. , I have made detailed rectifications and will never let anyone see any flaws. Even if the Yushitai wants to investigate carefully, I guarantee that they will not find any flaws."

Wang Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "If you can handle these things well, I will feel relieved."

Lin Ming responded and said: "My lord, handle the affairs of the official department well. This is what the official needs to do. Firstly, it is for the sake of your lord, and secondly, it is also to ensure that the official himself. Previously, the Yang family and the Su family, then They are all naked lessons, and the subordinates dare not neglect them at all."

Wang Sheng: "It's good that you can understand the importance and grasp everything well."

Lin Ming: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Wang Sheng: "You don't have to be humble. I know your abilities. As you said, trouble has already happened in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you absolutely cannot let anything happen again."

Lin Ming said nothing, just nodded.

Wang Sheng locked his eyes on Lin Ming and turned to ask: "By the way, I heard someone said that you found Qi Yuan two days ago?"

There was a slight flash of strangeness in Lin Ming's eyes. His movements were very fast, and he covered up the trace of panic in almost a flash. However, the person in front of him did not mention Su Yu. It can be seen that he was talking to him at that time. When Qi Yuan was talking, he casually mentioned Su Yu's matter, but Wang Xiang had no idea about it at all.

However, Wang Xianghui asked him this question, which shows that someone on Qi Yuan's side is also paying attention, and has even tried to find out what Qi Yuan said.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan is a smart man and knows that some things should not be leaked to others.

Immediately, Lin Ming replied aloud: "Replying to your lord, I went to see Qi Shangshu and just discussed the performance evaluation of some officials under the Ministry of Punishment. As you know, my lord, among the six ministries, even the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Husbandry The department has been reorganized, but many of the subordinate officials at all levels are you..."

Wang Sheng raised his hand, interrupted Lin Ming's words, and said directly: "You are always careful and considerate of everything. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you should not say anything casually, even in front of me, in my palace. On the other hand, you can only pay attention to it at all times so that no one can take advantage of it."

Lin Ming responded: "Yes, I was negligent. Thank you for reminding me."

Wang Sheng looked at Lin Ming and saw that he was undefended in front of him. He felt a little relieved about Lin Ming's suspicion.

"I guess there are still many things in the Ministry of Personnel that need to be handled by you when you return. I will not waste your time. Go back and handle all the matters in the Ministry of Personnel seriously."

Lin Ming bowed to the person in front of him, "Yes, I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, of course Lin Ming would not stay here for long and immediately left the study room.

When Lin Ming walked out of the study, he couldn't help but look back. Without stopping, he went straight to the outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion, the high and mighty Prime Minister, and the once prosperous Wang family will all become a thing of the past sooner or later.

……

Over here, in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wang Cong walked in after Lin Ming left, looked at his father, and asked, "Father, do you think there is something wrong with this Lin Shangshu?"

Wang Sheng said solemnly: "Just from the contact with him, there is really no problem with him at all. He handles the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel in an orderly manner. He has used the power of the Ministry of Personnel to place our people at all levels. Under his hands, all assessments were carried out without any problems, and they were perfect."

"What my father means is that there is nothing wrong with Lin Ming. It's my sister who is too worried. Let's..."

"You can't say that. It's always right to be more cautious. Often the more flawless it looks like, there may be problems hidden inside."

Wang Cong had a worried look on his face, "Father, do those who pay attention to Lin Ming's movements continue?"

"Of course." Wang Sheng said solemnly: "By the way, I asked you to find out what Qi Yuan said. Did he say anything?"

"No." Wang Cong shook his head, "It is indeed what Lin Ming said, that is, to understand the assessment of some officials."

Wang Sheng frowned slightly. He was troubled now. It seemed that he was really worrying too much.

However, there are things that should be taken precautions.

Wang Cong pondered and made a bold guess, saying: "Is my father still worried? Could it be that Qi Shangshu has some secrets? Should he go and find out more about it elsewhere?"

Wang Sheng: "I'm glad that you can think like this. It means that you don't see things as simple and simple as before. All of them are old foxes who have become masters. No one is an ordinary person, especially Lin Ming. He can He didn't stand up because of relying on me to get to this point. It was just because I was the prime minister of the dynasty and was in charge of six ministries. He was under my command, so he was used by me. But how can a person like him be shallow-minded."

"There is one thing that I need to verify. If not, then there is no need to be suspicious today. But if there is, things will not be simple." Wang Sheng said firmly: "Su Yu died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments. If What did Su Yu say to Qi Yuan before he died, maybe..."

After hearing this, Wang Cong paused in his heart, "Father, this shouldn't be the case. Su Yu's death is a promise given by his father. Is it possible that Qi Yuan will also have a different heart for you, father?"

Wang Sheng: "The matter cannot be discussed in isolation. What if there are spies planted by others in the Ministry of Punishment, and we can use this opportunity to instigate."

Wang Cong: "What does father mean, Yushitai? The Zheng family?"

Wang Sheng's face darkened, "This matter is unknown, so we must take precautions. People must keep an eye on Lin Ming. As for Qi Yuan, we must not neglect it."

Wang Cong: "Yes, I understand. I will give instructions and get all these things done."
