Fu Youwen, a seasoned official, naturally followed suit, speaking in an official tone: "Your Majesty's affairs are naturally the most important. No matter how much time and effort I expend, it is only to fulfill my loyalty to Your Majesty. It is all my due responsibility, and there is no question of whether it is hard work or not."

After saying this.

His gaze turned to Gu Pu who was standing beside him.

With a hint of trying to get rid of him, he said, "Director of the Ministry of War? Are you coming to the Ministry of Revenue to hand over the accounts there? But it's a little late today. Lord Yu and I are still busy with some important matters at the Ministry of Revenue. I'm afraid we won't be able to come for the time being. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Although Gupu had received the grace of promotion from Zhu Yunhuan in the Qianqing Palace, he was already considered half a member of the Ministry of Revenue.

But this matter... he really didn't know how to explain it for the time being. Besides, with Yu Xin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, around, he shouldn't be the first to speak about such a thing.

Taking these into consideration, Gu Pu felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked at Yu Xin.

Yu Xin had a look of ease on his face, and even a hint of secret joy and confidence.

How could he not know that Fu Youwen's statement of expelling him was just an excuse?

His immediate superior just wanted to get rid of Gu Pu, an outsider, and find out from him what exactly happened in the Qianqing Palace.

Fu Youwen became more and more anxious.

Then it would be even more difficult for him to accept Xia Yuanji's imperial edict to confer an official title.

He didn't beat around the bush anymore and said directly, "Master Fu... actually, you'd rather ask me about the matter of the Qianqing Palace behind closed doors, right?"

What I was thinking was revealed.

Fu Youwen couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he cursed inwardly: "This idiot, what's the point of bringing up such a matter in front of outsiders? What has become of me after he said that!?"

As for his expression, he really didn't know how to respond to Yu Xin's words.

Fortunately, Yu Xin didn't embarrass him. Without waiting for her to say anything, she went straight to the point and said, "Actually, Sir Fu, there's no need to be like this. Although Sir Gu is currently the head of the Ministry of War, tomorrow he will be the doctor of the Shaanxi Qingli Division of our Ministry of Revenue."

Fu Youwen was stunned again: "Dr. of the Shaanxi Qingli Division!?"

After a pause, Fu Youwen couldn't help but ask, "What does your majesty mean?"

Yu Xin responded as a matter of course, "Your Majesty's words are true. Otherwise, I would never dare to say anything."

Gu Pu only dared to speak at this time: "This humble official came here with Lord Yu today, also thinking of serving in the Ministry of Revenue in the future. Naturally, I should pay my respects to Lord Fu to avoid being impolite. I also hope that Lord Fu will take good care of me in the future."

The expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him did not seem to be fake. Besides, falsifying the imperial edict is a capital crime. Who would dare to joke about this?

Confirmed this.

Fu Youwen's brows furrowed tightly, and several wrinkles appeared between his brows. Shock and confusion filled his face. "Holy shit! It's only been half a day. What on earth happened to Qianqing?!"

If he remembered correctly, the previous doctor of the Shanxi Qinglisi was implicated in the incident between the King of Qin and the King of Jin last year and had been dismissed long ago, and the position had been vacant ever since.

The two major provincial governorates of Shanxi, where the King of Qin and the King of Jin were enfeoffed, both held a pivotal position. Your Majesty not only abolished the two vassal titles despite the pressure of "violating ancestral teachings", but also replaced the provincial governors, censors, and commanders-in-chief of the two provinces with his own people through covert and overt means.

It can be seen that Your Majesty attaches great importance to these two provincial governments.

Correspondingly, the Langzhong of the Qinglisi of the Ministry of Revenue would never be sloppy - the appointment of a Langzhong of the Qinglisi of Shaanxi has already revealed a lot.

"Congratulations, Lord Gu. However, you and I both work for the court and His Majesty. There is no such thing as favoritism." Fu Youwen spoke absentmindedly in an official tone, but he looked a little dazed.
