Chapter 307 I am guilty!!
"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 failed to react quickly and lost the initiative were all frozen in their expressions, and their pupils trembled several times!
Just to make some money, you are...starting to apologize for your crime?!
Isn't it a bit too much to ask for money in this race? ! !
Chu Dong had a sorrowful expression on his face and did not look away. He treated his colleagues around him as if they were carrots and did not feel any emotion at all.
Jiang Yanchuan's eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly: "What crime has Lord Chu committed?"
"Qu Chunzhi County has been able to stir up trouble here for several years, causing the local people to suffer miserably, without being known to outsiders. The root cause of this is that my Ministry of Personnel has not done a good job in assessing local officials," Chu Dong choked up, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am to blame!"
Although he looked sad, in reality, the abacus beads in his heart were about to fall on everyone's face.
Although it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel to evaluate 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 in a state of severe shortage of staff. How can it take care of every detail and every corner?
Moreover, Qu Chunzhi was quite diligent when he was an official. Although the lives of the people here are not as prosperous as those in the hubs, they can generally be considered to live and work in peace and contentment.
He just personally trained a group of traitors and went fishing to enforce the law, so it is understandable that the people in the Ministry of Personnel failed to notice 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, and almost at the moment when these words fell, they had guessed the next plot trend -
After Emperor Mingze pardoned Chu Dong, Chu Dong reflected on his mistakes and declared that he would learn from them 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. But...
Need money.
Officials from the Ministry of Personnel need money to visit various places.
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel need money to eliminate corruption and recruit new ones.
Every single pile costs money.
The officials present at the scene 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: "..."
Storage building: “???”
Isn't this different from the plot they had planned?!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Yanchuan glanced at the young man beside him and chuckled: "In this case, what else do you have to say, Lord Chu?"
The ministers present: "..."
Got it.
"Your Majesty! Although Lord Chu has failed in his duty, he has been diligent since he took office. I hope Your Majesty can show leniency to him!" Lei Zhixin bent his knees and knelt beside the storage building.
"Your Majesty, Lord Chu is indeed responsible for not guarding your country seriously this time, but over the years, he has always been diligent and honest in his official duties, and has never been greedy for fame and wealth. I have even seen Lord Chu fill his stomach with coarse grains every day..." Chu Jiaxu's words stopped here at the right time, hitting the nail on the head.
"Wuwuwu, Lord Chu, this really shows concern for the country and the people... I believe that if Lord Chu has sufficient manpower and material resources, he will be able to expose 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 compete for money with 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 swayed 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 favorite Uncle Chu was sincerely apologizing this time, and she was really worried that her Uncle Chu would suffer because of this.
[Uncle Wuwuwuchu is a very nice official...]
Everyone was shocked when they heard the cry in the boy's inner voice.
Chu Dong knelt on the ground, hiding the smile in his eyes by lowering his head.
The young fellow cried 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——"
[Wuwuwu, Uncle Chu has always been upright and sticks to his principles. In the original plot, the fourth brother tried several times to insert his own people into the court, but was blocked by Uncle Chu for various reasons! ]
[However, because of this, Uncle Chu ended up with his body thrown into the wilderness. So pitiful Uncle Chu——]
Storage building: "..."
The smile at the corner of his lips suddenly froze, and his expression of wanting to smile but not smile looked very strange.
It took almost all of Chu Dong's strength not to look up the moment he heard the news to confirm the boy's expression.
Abandoned in the wilderness?
who?
Him?!
hiss--
Is it so terrible? ! !
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 Gui, and Cheng Cheng has made the Crown Prince's body very healthy, so the plot should be shifted! ]
Moreover, she would definitely take good care of the health of her handsome father, the Emperor, and would never let the enemy's spies succeed in poisoning him. If that were the case, 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: "Wuwaaa, father, please don't--hmm?"
Jiang Yingcheng's wide-open mouth was pinched shut, and the remaining tears were 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 around calmly: "Storage building."
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 gathered his thoughts and hurriedly delivered his speech according to the original plan.
"After this incident, I will definitely learn from the past and make arrangements immediately..."
Chu Dong talked about all the expensive-sounding measures one by one, and Jiang Yingcheng's heart was in a knot when he heard them.
[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.
Finally arrived smoothly——
[However——]
[The Minister of Personnel——]
[What a fat job——]
[Why is Uncle Chu living in such poverty——]
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up!
【This is so good! 】
Chen Ci's voice suddenly paused. Chu Dong was horrified and unconsciously raised one hand, waving it in vain in the direction of the young man from a distance.
Stop it now!!!
