Chapter 686 The court needs talents like you
"Just now I asked you to go to the Ministry of Personnel to investigate first, but you were unwilling. Now, we have to snatch food from other people's mouths, so tell me what we should do!" Jiang Youzhen spread her hands helplessly. Wasn't it because this person didn't believe her?
Would he still be willing to give it to Li Yaojun? Although the emperor was using Li Yaojun as a cover, Li Yaojun certainly didn't know.
Is he willing to let others share his credit? Even if he showed the gold medal, there would be some wrangling.
"The main task assigned to me by the Emperor is to protect your safety. Assisting you in investigating the case is just a side job. If the case goes well, you will get the lion's share of the credit. Even if it doesn't go well, I won't lose anything, as long as you don't die."
Qin Yandong seemed calm and composed, as if he didn't care.
Jiang Youzhen turned to look at him and clicked his tongue twice.
"Sir Qin! You don't have a high level of ideological awareness! Rebellion is the root cause of national chaos. As long as you are an official appointed by the court, it is your duty. How can you think about your achievements?
Catching the rebels is our common goal, and restoring peace to the people and the court is our duty as ministers and the people of Dayun Dynasty."
Qin Yandong nearly vomited blood. He spoke in a high-sounding manner, but in fact, it was all for the credit.
No wonder my father said that intellectuals are the most difficult to deal with. Once they open their mouths, you have no power to refute.
"It's a pity that you don't join the Inspectorate." Qin Yandong sneered.
Jiang Youzhen looked sideways, very surprised, "Your Excellency, don't you know that the Emperor has appointed me as the Censor of the Inspectorate?"
Qin Yandong gritted his teeth and said after a moment: "Your Majesty, you really know how to use people well."
"You are so kind! You are so kind! Your Majesty is indeed a man of great insight!"
Qin Yandong was so angry that he laughed, "You are so selfless, then when we award merits later, you can just refuse the reward."
Jiang Youzhen immediately looked at him as if he was a fool. "Sir, only when you are in a high position can you better serve the people. I am not only doing this for myself, but also for the millions of people in our Dayun Dynasty!"
Qin Yandong took a deep breath. He usually didn't bother with those civil servants. He also looked down upon those people who were always giving orders but had no ability to take action.
But today, Jiang Youzhen did make him look at him with new eyes, but he was also shocked by Jiang Youzhen's shamelessness.
No wonder my father said that the skins of intellectuals are thicker than city walls, they are all two-skinned.
Thinking of how his father would be cursed by the civil servants every time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he finally understood his father's difficulties.
Imagine how majestic the Duke of Qin was back then? My father practiced martial arts to guard the border, following in his grandfather's footsteps and becoming a feared general.
Unexpectedly, my grandfather suddenly fell ill and did not recover after years of recuperation, so he had to return to Beijing to recuperate. After he was relieved of his military power, the emperor did not let my father guard the border.
Helplessly, my father could only take the job of Left Governor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was a civil servant position and went against his original idea.
"You have a good awareness. The court needs talents like you!" Qin Yandong said with a wry smile.
No matter whether he was being sarcastic or not, Jiang Youzhen accepted it all with a smile.
"Thank you for your praise, sir. I will work harder in the future."
While the two were arguing, the Ministry of Personnel arrived.
"Please come in first, sir!" Jiang Youzhen smiled brightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Qin Yandong gave a heartbreaking smile, then put on the hood of his cloak and climbed down from the carriage.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen got off the carriage, he showed the gold medal and the guards saluted immediately.
"Don't make a sound, take us to your Ministry of Personnel's Record Office."
The guard didn't dare to say much and hurriedly led the way.
"Which official is on duty at the Ministry of Personnel tonight?" Jiang Youzhen asked.
"My Lord, it is the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Zeng Shunzeng, and the bookkeeper, Lord Chen Jianchen, who are currently in the Bookkeeping Hall."
The head of the Ministry of Personnel is a sixth-rank official. Since he is on duty, he must have the key to the warehouse.
Jiang Youzhen hesitated when she heard Chen Jian's name. She had dealt with Chen Jian too many times before. Although he was very attentive to her later, it was easy for such a person to be bribed.
Too familiar, what if the other party recognizes me?
The guard was puzzled, but he felt it was a threat. In the dead of night, two adults in cloaks were acting mysteriously. Could it be that one of the officials had committed a crime?
But these had nothing to do with him, a small guard. After calming himself down, the guard quickened his pace.
“Boom boom boom!” “Boom boom boom!”
"Who is it?" After a long time, a voice came from inside. Jiang Youzhen recognized it was Chen Jian's.
"Master Chen, two masters are here to review the files."
Chen Jian was getting dressed slowly, and when he heard this, he became furious.
"What time is it? Are you here to read the files now?"
He muttered, but fearing something important might happen, he had already gotten out of bed.
Coming here at this time, I'm afraid it's not a small matter. Although he is greedy, he has been able to live in peace for these years, naturally because he knows how to read the eyes and act accordingly.
As he was slipping on his slippers, he suddenly thought of the major events that had happened in the court recently. He immediately woke up from his sleepiness and became much more awake.
"Get out of the way!" Qin Yandong had no patience for that. He stepped forward and started to knock him.
"Open the door, the Dali Temple is investigating a case!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Please wait a moment, sir!" Chen Jian didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and he went forward tremblingly to open the door.
Qin Yandong stepped in first and pushed Chen Jian aside.
He shouted, "Why did you take so long to open the door? Can you afford to delay something important?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm just a little confused. What do you want me to do?"
While Chen Jian was tidying up his clothes, he looked at the two people who came in.
Looking at the two people's strange attire, he became even more confused.
Oh my! So arrogant! So majestic!
Jiang Youzhen finally understood why the court had a bad impression of the Dali Temple. Look at its style, it's so impressive.
"Where is the person in charge of the Ministry of Personnel on duty? Call him over!" Qin Yandong sat at the top seat as soon as he came in.
Jiang Youzhen wisely took out the gold medal. Chen Jian was so frightened when he saw it that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"Your subordinate..."
"Ask you where your boss has gone!" Qin Yandong interrupted impatiently.
"Yes, in the inner room. I'll go and call her right away."
Jiang Youzhen watched the other party crawling into the inner room, and suddenly felt that this attitude saved a lot of trouble and saved a lot of words. The reputation of the Dali Temple was really useful, and he was terrified.
But was the person in charge asleep? He didn't even wake up after such a big commotion?
I only heard a few mutterings from the inner room, and then footsteps were heard soon.
"I'm Zeng Shun, the director of the Ministry of Personnel. May I know who you two are?" Zeng Shun's clothes were a little messy and it seemed that he was in a hurry.
There was also confusion on his face, until Jiang Youzhen showed the gold medal, he also fell to the ground.
This gold medal is useful, but it often makes the opponent kneel down, which is a waste of time.
