Hidden in the court

Hu Die looked up in confusion.

"That's right, don't go back to the army, that place is not suitable for you. I have discussed with the old general, there is an important task related to the survival of our dynasty that needs you to do, and you are the only one who has the ability to do it. You will be the first woman to serve as an official. Are you willing to accept my order?"

Hearing this, Hu Die was still a little confused. But she heard that she could still enter the officialdom, and it was related to the survival of the country, and this was enough.

He hurriedly bowed to Nangong Lin and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best until my death."

These words were extremely firm, Nangong Lin felt it and saw the renewed strength in her eyes. This was Hu Die's previous state, and he was happy that she could regroup.

"Okay, let me introduce someone to you."

As he spoke, Su Youde brought up a young woman whose aura was indeed somewhat similar to Hu Die.

"Mu Xi?"

"Are you... General Xiao Hu?"

The two were surprised when they met.

"Oh, do you know each other?"

Nangong Lin was also surprised that they could call each other by name.

Hu Die came back to her senses and coughed twice: "I met him a few times before when I was in the army because of official business."

Hu Die naturally recognized the people, Li Yi, Li Muxi. She had also seen the daughter of Li Chi, the Minister of Justice, when she went to the Ministry of Justice before, so they got to know each other after a few visits.

"I have met General Xiao Hu several times before. Later, I heard that the general was a woman dressed as a man. I admired him even more. Now that I see his true appearance, I can see that he is as good as a man!"

Li Yi's generous praise inevitably made Hu Die blush slightly, but Nangong Lin laughed when he heard it:

"Okay, it's better to know each other. From now on, work will be easier. I'll be frank. I want to set up a Junior Supervisory Office outside the Meridian Gate, next to the six ministries. The purpose of the Junior Supervisory Office is to monitor, gather, and educate those uneducated second-generations in this Bianjing city.

From now on, if anyone is causing trouble in the capital, bullying the people on the street, or walking around in groups of three or five, no matter who they are, they will all be taken to the Junior Supervisor's Office. You can decide how to arrest them, how to teach them, and how long to lock them up. I only have one request, that they reform themselves, or at the very least, they should go home and stay here, and not embarrass themselves.

After we arrest someone, write down their name and family background clearly, and post it outside the Meridian Gate so that all the adults will know clearly. I want to see if these people can keep their dignity...

I have seen the character of both of you, so I am relieved to hand this matter over to you. Go down and prepare."

"Yes!"

The two juniors retreated to prepare, and Nangong Lin and Mr. Hu looked at each other.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Old General, you are too kind. I have been planning this matter for a long time. This is not only to give Ying'er a chance, but also to make plans for the survival of our dynasty, and to open up a path for women all over the world."

The emperor and his ministers all sighed that the world can be divided by people with ulterior motives, but it cannot be ruled by incompetent people. I just regret that these second-generations are not talented, otherwise it would not have come to this.

“I just hope it will be effective.”

The next morning

"I intend to establish a Junior Supervisory Office outside the Meridian Gate, adjacent to the six ministries, to monitor, gather, and educate the officials of the Bianjing court and the children of the noble families.

From now on, anyone who behaves unthriftily and brings disgrace to the family, no matter who they are from, whether male or female, or what age, will be taken to the Junior Supervisory Office for imprisonment. If you can't bear to beat the children, I will do it for you. If you can't teach the children, I will do it for you!

Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"

The officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do. After all, they knew their sons very well. If they were sent to the Junior Supervisory Office, they would be in trouble. Most importantly, they were afraid that something would implicate them. If their sons got into trouble, their careers would be ruined. Who could they turn to for justice?

Nangong Lin looked at the people below and of course knew the dilemma in their hearts, so he snorted coldly and said, "I know what you are thinking, so I tell you, the child is the child, we are us, no matter what he did, as long as you didn't get involved, it won't affect you, and you will be rewarded according to your merits."

The people below thought to themselves that this was just nonsense and remained unmoved.

Nangong Lin looked at the people below who were not willing to listen to him. Just when he was about to lose his temper, he heard an extremely flattering voice: "I think your majesty's move is indeed a policy that benefits the country and the people. I agree with it."

Everyone looked up and saw that it was the Minister of Revenue Jia Qian. Many people immediately started to complain in their hearts.

It's just you who is highlighted. Don't you know what your two sons are like?

In fact, Jia Qian had long wanted to educate his two sons. Judging from the current situation, once he, as a father, stepped down, these two bastards would be in trouble sooner or later. Now that there was a ready-made opportunity, why not do it?

Immediately afterwards, Minister of Justice Li Chi, who knew the inside story, also stood up.

"Your Majesty's move is intended to educate your son to become a talent, clean up the bureaucracy, and benefit your descendants. I second this proposal."

Nangong Lin nodded.

The rest of the people, as long as they were young members of the family and had no major problems, also agreed.

The rest looked at Prime Minister Lowe with pleading eyes.

Lowe glanced at her and cursed in his heart, why are you looking at me? I really want to send my daughter to the jail for discipline.

As he thought this in his mind, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and then he suddenly realized.

"Everyone, if a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. We are all fathers, and we naturally want our children to excel and stand out. At the very least, they should be filial. However, you are all busy with official duties and neglect to discipline your children, right?"

Without waiting for others to answer, Luo Wei continued, "Once the Junior Supervisory Office is established, it will be the place where all of you sons and daughters can turn back from your ways. Moreover, as long as we strictly control the younger generation in the future, won't the purpose of the Junior Supervisory Office also be achieved?"

Luo Wei has made it very clear. Since the young supervisor cannot change, everyone should tell the younger generation to be careful and not get caught.

Having said that, there is nothing more that can be done. However, for those who still refuse to give up, we can only start with the officials of the Junior Supervisory Office.

"May I ask your Majesty, do you have any candidates for the Junior Supervisory Office?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below seemed to see hope again.

"The Junior Supervisory Office shall have one Chief Supervisor, who is of the sixth rank, one Criminal Supervisor, who is of the sixth rank, and two Deputy Supervisors, who are of the seventh rank."

At first glance it doesn’t look high quality, maybe it can be sold for a few cents.

Nangong Lin looked at them and smiled knowingly.

"General Hu's grandson, Princess Changle Hu Die, will be the Supervisor, and the daughter of the Minister of Justice Li Yi will be the Minister of Justice. As for the two Deputy Ministers, in my opinion, the son of the Prince of Jin, Marquis of Jiangning Jijun, and Princess Nangong Bian are the most suitable."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present gasped. It was over. General Hu's granddaughter, the daughter of the Minister of Justice, the son of the Prince of Jin, the princess of the current dynasty, if they were picked out alone, everyone present would have to give face. Now that they were gone, who else would they have to give face to?

The people present felt like there was something stuck in their throats and were unable to speak.
