"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Personnel Chu Dong suddenly roared at the top of his lungs, causing Xu Jiu, who had experienced countless storms, to tremble.

"I am guilty!!"

The ministers, who were not as quick as Chu Dong in reacting and had been overtaken by the opportunity, had frozen expressions and their pupils trembled several times!

For a little money, they are... starting to apologize for their crimes? !

Isn't it a bit too tempting to ask for money? ! !

Chu Dong had a sad expression on his face and did not look away. He treated the group of colleagues around him as a bunch of white radishes and did not feel anything inside.

Jiang Yanchuan's eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly, "What crime has Lord Chu committed?"

"County Magistrate Qu Chun was able to stir up trouble here for several years, causing the local people to suffer miserably, without being known to outsiders. This is ultimately due to the fact that my Ministry of Personnel did not do a good job in assessing local officials," Chu Dong choked up, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt on the ground. "I, your humble servant, am to blame!"

Chu Dong had a sad look on his face, but in reality, the abacus beads in his mind were about to shatter into everyone's faces.

Although it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel to assess local officials, Darui has a vast territory. In addition, Emperor Mingze has been conquering many places in recent years and has annexed many territories. The Ministry of Personnel has always been seriously understaffed. How can it take care of every detail and cover every corner?

Moreover, this County Magistrate Qu Chun was quite diligent when he was an official. Although the lives of the people here are not as prosperous as those in the hub areas, they can generally be considered to live and work in peace and contentment.

He simply trained a group of rebels himself and used them as a trap to enforce the law. Therefore, it is understandable that the people in the Ministry of Personnel failed to detect it.

Emperor Mingze was clear about rewards and punishments, and would never punish anyone for something like this.

Chu Dong was well aware of this, so he came up with this plan.

The officials present were all experienced in the officialdom. Almost the moment these words were spoken, they had guessed the direction of the next plot.

After Emperor Mingze pardoned Chu Dong, Chu Dong reflected on his mistakes and declared that he would take this as a warning and strengthen the assessment of local officials in the future. Even if the officials of the Ministry of Personnel had to work harder and harder, they would never let the people of Da Rui live in such dire straits. However...

need money.

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel need money when they visit various places.

Officials in the Ministry of Personnel need money to eliminate corruption and recruit new ones.

Everything requires money.

The officials present hissed in pain: This is truly a huge chess game!

You guys who are asking for money, your methods are really dirty!!

"Well," Jiang Yanchuan nodded, "What Mr. Chu said does make some sense."

The ministers present: "..."

Chu Dong: “???”

Isn't this different from the plot they had planned?!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Yanchuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the little fellow beside him, and chuckled: "In this case, what else do you have to say, Lord Chu?"

The ministers present: "..."

understood.

"Your Majesty! Although Lord Chu has failed in his duties, he has been diligent since he took office. I hope Your Majesty can show leniency to him!" Lei Zhixin bent his knees and knelt next to Chu Dong.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu is indeed responsible for not governing his subordinates strictly this time, but for many years, he has always gotten up at the crowing of the cock and returned home at the darkest hour. He has been diligent and honest in his official duties and has never been greedy for fame and wealth. I have also seen several times that Lord Chu only fills his stomach with coarse grains every day..." Chu Jiaxu's voice stopped here at the right time, getting to the point in one sentence.

"Wow, Lord Chu, this is truly a person who cares about the country and the people... I believe that if Lord Chu has sufficient manpower and material resources, he will be able to expose all the corrupt officials in the world!" Yuan Liangping choked up several times and reached out to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

Everyone was extremely reluctant to fight for money for their "competitors", but they could only cooperate with gritted teeth. The emphasis in their words was all on the word "lack of money", and the implication was very obvious.

However, all these words are no match for the little guy's voice.

"Father~" Jiang Yingcheng tightly grasped the sleeves of her beautiful father and shook back and forth nervously, "Don't blame Uncle Chu——"

No one took the superficial work in officialdom seriously, except Jiang Yingcheng.

She really thought that her beloved Uncle Chu was sincerely apologizing this time, and she was really worried that her Uncle Chu would suffer because of this.

[Wow, Uncle Chu is such a nice official...]

Hearing the cry in the little guy's voice, everyone was stunned.

Chu Dong knelt on the ground, hiding the smile in his eyes by lowering his head.

The little guy was crying sadly in his heart, but the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes.

She was really worried about him.

Chu Dong stood up slightly, ready to put an end to this farce: "Your Majesty——"

[Wow, Uncle Chu was upright and principled all his life. In the original plot, the fourth brother tried to get his own people into the court several times, but was blocked by Uncle Chu for various reasons! ]

[However, because of this, Uncle Chu ended up with his body thrown into the wilderness. Woohoo, poor Uncle Chu——]

Chu Dong: “…”

The smile at the corner of his lips suddenly froze, and his expression of wanting to smile but not smile looked very strange.

Chu Dong almost used up all his strength not to look up the moment he heard the news to confirm the little guy's expression at the moment.

Abandoned in the wilderness?

Who?

him? !

hiss--

Is it so miserable? ! !

The ministers present had no such scruples, and their eyes swept towards the little guy!

[However... Cheng Cheng has locked up both the fourth brother and Concubine Rou, and the prince's body has been kept very healthy by Cheng Cheng, so the plot should be shifted! ]

Moreover, she would definitely pay close attention to the health of her handsome father, the Emperor, and would never let the spies from the enemy country enter the palace and successfully poison him. Otherwise, there would be no plot for her fourth brother to ascend the throne!

After realizing this, Jiang Yingcheng raised his head and started to cry: "Wuuuwaa Father, please don't--hmm?"

Jiang Yingcheng's wide-open mouth was pinched shut, and the rest of his crying was blocked. Jiang Yanchuan's eyes were filled with a little smile, but his voice was somewhat helpless: "Don't give him money?"

Jiang Yingcheng: "..."

Jiang Yingcheng: [Huh?!]

Isn't it a crime?!

Jiang Yanchuan turned back calmly: "Chu Dong."

Chu Dong quickly responded: "I'm here!"

"Go ahead."

Chu Dong understood these two words without a beginning or an end in an instant.

He collected his thoughts and continued his speech as planned.

"After this incident, I will definitely learn from the past and make arrangements immediately..."

Chu Dong talked about a series of measures that sounded very expensive, and Jiang Yingcheng's heart was in a knot.

[Then, let’s give some of this money to Uncle Chu…]

[It's not easy for the Ministry of Personnel...]

Chu Dong let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally, we are going to arrive smoothly——

【but--】

[Minister of Personnel——]

[What a fat job——]

[Why is Uncle Chu living in such poverty?——]

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up!

【This is so nice! 】

Chen Ci's voice suddenly paused, Chu Dong's face was horrified, he unconsciously raised one hand, and waved in vain in the direction of the little fellow from a distance -

Stop it now!!!
