"No, nothing!"

Xie Lang's pupils trembled, and he would never admit that he had misjudged his thoughts. The dream had had too great of an impact on him, and he couldn't continue like this!

It is normal for children to have some secrets when they grow up. Wen Hemian decided not to dig into the matter and easily revealed it.

The plaster on his hand was almost dry, and the little emperor seemed finally willing to let her go. She didn't plan to delay here any longer.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and it was not comfortable to be outside in the sun. She asked, "Shall I accompany His Majesty back to deal with the memorials?"

Although it is a holiday, Emperor Xie Lang cannot have any free time. There are a pile of memorials on his desk waiting for his review. He will have to review them sooner or later, so it is better to review them now.

Xie Lang was hoping for something to divert his attention, so he walked down the stairs: "Okay."

Wen Hemian shook her hands and then felt a burning sensation slowly spreading up. It wasn't too painful and still within the tolerable range. She went towards the imperial study first, and Xie Lang followed quickly after being stunned for a moment.

Later, he was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear.

Look at His Majesty and Lord Wen, the relationship between teacher and student is so good.

It was a rare day when Xie Lang had no intention of keeping Wen Hemian.

It was not until he saw the back of the tutor completely disappear from his sight that the smile on Xie Lang's face instantly faded, like an overturned ink tray, revealing his unexpected mood.

Half of the young emperor's face was hidden in the shadows. Even Lai Xi, who had served him for many years, was startled: "...Your Majesty?"

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

Not just talking.

As the young boy grew up, his authority grew, and Lai Xi truly felt the weight of these words.

"Go..." Xie Lang frowned deeply, his tone unclear, "Go find me a fire avoidance map."

Lai Xi: “…Huh?”

What the hell? A fire avoidance chart?

Xie Lang glanced at him coldly, and Lai Xi immediately shuddered: "I'll go right away!"

He nearly jumped up, but remembering that he was in the presence of the emperor, he barely suppressed the shock in his eyes and hurried out.

But what I was thinking in my heart was – the harem has been vacant for so many years, is the young emperor finally coming to his senses?

Maybe by then, I, as the chief steward of the imperial court, could play some other role.

Xie Lang was not an inflexible person. After a whole day of calming down, he finally managed to remember that the palace lady had said that what you do in your dreams doesn't mean anything. What you think about during the day you will dream about at night. It's just a coincidence.

He needs to know how to enlighten himself.

These things are not convenient to talk about in front of the Grand Tutor, he can just solve them himself, there is no need to bother anyone.

Xie Lang gave himself a reassurance pill.

It was the first time for Lai Xi to do such a thing. He was very anxious and his efficiency was unprecedentedly high. In a short while, he collected a large number of fire avoidance maps from the palace and hurriedly delivered them all to Xie Lang.

His eyes rolled around as he carefully sized up the young emperor in front of him, and asked, "Your Majesty, is this enough?"

Xie Lang snorted coldly: "Get out."

All his sweet words were of no use. Lai Xi regretfully put away his thoughts, went out obediently and closed the door.

Xie Lang prepared himself mentally. He picked up one of the books at random, took a deep breath and opened it to read. But after a while, his hands began to tremble and he suddenly threw the book away.

He closed his eyes: "What the hell?!"

What a dog slave, I don't know where he found those things to fool him!

The scene he just saw was like a ghost that would linger in his mind even when he closed his eyes. A heat ran along his fingertips all the way to his heart. Xie Lang really could not calm down anymore.

The entire ear and neck were red.

-

It was the next day that Wen Hemian learned that Lai Xi was punished.

I don’t know what this steward did to be punished to wash the toilet. It’s really miserable.

Sometimes Xie Lang still felt something was strange when he looked at her, so he dodged the question whenever Wen Hemian asked him about it. Later on, he simply stopped asking, thinking it was no big deal anyway.

She wandered around the palace and was soon tripped up by the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. Several subordinates dragged her to the government office.

He didn't feel it when he was working in the cabinet before, but now that he is also the Minister of Personnel and has handed over all official duties, Wen Hemian has witnessed with his own eyes what inefficient administration is.

Previously, she had really believed that the Ministry of Personnel was short of staff. However, after taking office, she discovered that the internal division of labor was extremely unclear, all matters were mixed together, and there might even be duplicate reviews. It was extremely chaotic.

Upon asking, I learned that this situation has been going on for a long time.

The previous emperor didn't care about things, the eunuchs were in chaos, Ning Hechu was thinking about seizing power, and the six ministries under him grew wildly in the high-pressure environment. We are thankful that we have been able to survive until now.

Wen Hemian held his forehead with his hand.

She felt more and more that Xie Lang had left her with a mess.

But since she was here, she couldn't just occupy the position and do nothing. Fortunately, she used to study history, so she spent a day rearranging the Ministry of Personnel, which made things look much better.

There are so many people in the Ministry of Personnel, but not all of them are good at handling this kind of affairs. We have to use them reluctantly for now, and we have to select more people in the future.

Every profession has its own expertise. Wen Hemian has already begun thinking about asking Xie Lang to reform the imperial examination system and increase the possibility of targeted selection.

The road ahead is long and still needs to be explored.

Wen Hemian had deep doubts about whether he could retire early.

She had no idea that after she left, the Ministry of Personnel fell into a heated discussion.

"What is she doing? A new official takes office with three major changes. Is she trying to show us off right away? This is something we should be in charge of. Why should we give it to the people below us?"

The person who spoke was Min Rong, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He had been in this position for many years and was originally waiting for the Minister of Personnel to retire so that he could take over. However, he did not expect Wen Hemian to suddenly appear here, and all his plans went down the drain.

He was dissatisfied with Wen Hemian and had been indifferent to him in the past few days. Today, the power in his hands was divided. He reasonably suspected that Wen Hemian was taking the opportunity to retaliate against him!

Min Rong said whatever he wanted to say. When he finished, he realized that the whole room was silent. No one seemed to agree with him. He frowned fiercely: "...Aren't you all dissatisfied?"

"Uh, Lord Min." The Right Assistant Minister continued, his face full of embarrassment, "Don't you think this makes each of us feel a lot more relaxed?"

Damn it, everyone knows that working in the Ministry of Personnel means the most work and the least rest time, and you don’t even have time to eat with your family.

After Wen Hemian made this change, things became more relaxed overall. They still received the same salary and had the same glorious life outside. Who could refuse this?

Anyway, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel who had worked hard for more than ten years could not refuse.

The other officials also echoed: "Yes, yes, Lord Min, didn't you say a few days ago that you had another daughter? How nice it would be to have more time to spend with your wife?"

"Yeah, more money, less work, it's a good deal!"

"Master Min, please be more tolerant."

Min Rong's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he almost fell backwards in anger: "You guys are ashamed of bending over for a few pieces of silver!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one was willing to chase after him.
