"Since the Minister of Personnel is not feeling well, I have found an easier job for you. Go to Ancheng and be the county magistrate."

When Emperor Wu of Xia said this, it was as if he was talking about the weather.

However, when the Minister of Personnel heard this, his expression changed drastically. He raised his eyes and looked at the Supreme Emperor.

I was like, "Fuck, I've been an official my whole life and finally climbed to this level. And in the blink of an eye, I'm a county magistrate again!"

"Your Majesty...your humble servant..."

Minister of Personnel, no, our county magistrate is going crazy now. A word from the emperor has made half his life's efforts go down the drain.

[Hahaha, surprise or not. Don't feel it's not worth it, old man. You should retire at your age.]

If you do well as a county magistrate, my father will feel guilty and bring you back. The main problem is that you're an official who spends all day flattering and bringing others down. My father doesn't need an official like you.

"Take him away, my dear. If you can manage the local area well in the future, I have a sharp eye. I will never allow officials to think about flattery instead of national affairs all day long."

Emperor Wu of Xia finished speaking and waved his hand. The Minister of Personnel knew that there was no turning back.

After thanking him, he turned and walked out. His steps were weak and staggering, and the moment he walked out, all the officials seemed to have witnessed a living example.

They understood that the emperor was really doing something, and they had no choice but to keep doing practical work every day, otherwise, they would be the next to be demoted.

"Minister of Rites!"

Emperor Wu of Xia called the name of the Minister of Rites.

When he came to his senses, he trembled all over, and it took him a long time to calm down. "I am here."

The Minister of Rites was trembling all over, not knowing what he was afraid of. "Your Majesty, I am working diligently!"

I feel so sad that I can't even cry. My forehead is covered in cold sweat.

Emperor Wu of Xia looked puzzled. "What's wrong with Minister Zhang? Is there cold sweat on your forehead?"

"Your Majesty, this humble servant...it might be because the weather is so hot." The Minister of Rites was terrified.

[Oh my god, my dad is really good at pretending. I was really scared by you. He's a good official. Don't scare him, Dad.]

Emperor Wu of Xia looked at the Minister of Rites, who was speechless. He just didn't trust him. Did he think he was just going to punish people today?

"Oh, by the way, Minister of Rites." Emperor Wu of Xia looked at the Minister of Rites, perhaps forgetting to smile.

The Minister of Rites came up and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am a loyal servant. I feel that I can serve Your Majesty for another thirty or forty years, and I will do my best to serve you until my death."

Emperor Wu of Xia: ???

[I knock, you must be frightened. Don't think I don't know you, huh, you're lazy and neglecting your duties.]

"Leave everything to the Left Vice Minister of Rites. The Right Vice Minister is your relative, and he takes all the credit for every achievement, but lets others take the fall for every mistake. He's so loyal, huh? Step down as soon as possible, and stop acting like you're the boss and demanding everything from everyone."

Emperor Wu of Xia was speechless. This was another guy who was not doing his job properly? He had arrested some corrupt officials before, and now he wanted to arrest these people who were not doing their jobs properly.

"I believe that the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is unreasonable, and the rules of appointing the legitimate heir instead of the eldest son as the heir need to be revised. My two beloved ministers, please write an article to improve this. Submit it to the Imperial Study in three days."

Emperor Wu of Xia said this and looked at the Left Vice Minister of Rites. "By the way, Vice Minister of Rites, you should consult your eldest son about this matter. You may get unexpected results. And the Minister of Rites, you can also go back and consult the head of the family's son."

"ah?"

The Left Vice Minister of Rites was stunned. "Your Majesty, are you sure it's the eldest son?"

"Well! I'll see whose plan is better. I'll decide who will be the Minister of Rites."

As soon as these words came out, everyone trembled. It was unbelievable that the current emperor was so treacherous.

It used to be a stable job, but now it's like a buffet. You have to fight for it! I feel so sad!

"Withdraw from the court!"

After finishing his work, Emperor Wu of Xia took Wanwan with him and left. He left the suspense for the ministers to ponder. These ministers were too idle, so he gave them something to do.

It's really unforgettable. Such a good person was appointed as a prefect just like that.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Dai! Congratulations, Prime Minister Dai! You are the only one among all the civil and military officials in the court who has been promoted."

The Minister of Rites walked over respectfully and asked, "Could you please teach me the ways of being an official?"

"The way to be an official?"

Dai Qingshan bowed respectfully to the dragon throne. "Recently, our emperor must have opened his divine eyes. With just one glance, he can tell loyalty from treachery. Therefore, we, as ministers, should do more for the country, the people, and the emperor. Otherwise, you will become the next Minister of Personnel."

The Minister of Rites tensed up, completely speechless. Dai Qingshan left, and the Minister of Rites stared at the throne, unable to help but grumble inwardly: "Hmph, there's even a divine eye. I just don't believe this emperor is truly a deity. Coincidence, this must be a coincidence!"

Qiankun Palace

"Mom, you have so much free time every day. You can even make such a cute flower bag."

Wanwan grinned and smiled happily every day when she saw these cute snacks and buns.

And every time her mother sees her smile, she feels that her life is very satisfying.

"My dear, you work so hard every day. I'm afraid you'll get tired of the palace food, darling."

The queen pinched Wanwan's cute little face, which was so elastic and tender.

"Mom, why do you all like to pinch my face? Dad likes it, and uncle likes it too."

Xia Wanwan asked.

“Cute.”
