System, help me become the empress

Chapter 110 Return to Beijing
Appointed by the new emperor, Mo Shiqi parachuted to Shu to serve as the chief envoy.The old guys who had been officials in Sichuan for decades, when they saw that their future superior was just a young girl, their attitudes were obviously a little contemptuous.

But what they didn't expect was that Mo Shiqi was also extremely capable.Only three days after he took office, he led troops to arrest seven corrupt officials, and dismissed 14 of them under the pretext of 'inaction as an official'. No scruples.

According to common sense, just after the turmoil in Shu, the new emperor captured a group of remnants of the Shu king.At this time, there were not enough officials in the Shu region, and Mo Shiqi dared to "make a new official take office three fires". It is really hard for ordinary people to imagine the consequences of this approach.

But Mo Shiqi just has this ability. After cutting out more than half of the officials in Shu, he can still ensure that the daily order in Shu will not be disrupted.

In addition, Mo Shiqi vigorously advocated the new policy of the imperial court, actively opened the originally closed Shu land to the outside world, invited "Qian Bao" to set up an agency in Shu, promoted the new law, and provided women with job opportunities.

Everything seems to be going in the best direction.

……

As soon as the time turned, it was already mid-October.

Before Xu Youxi left Shu, he straightened the position of the chief envoy of 'Mo Shiqi', and told her that he would wait for her to make achievements in Shangjing.

On the day Xu Youxi returned to the palace, the soldiers sent by Emperor Chongjiu to greet him all rushed outside the capital.

"Youxi, you have returned to Beijing!"

Emperor Chongjiu waited in person at the gate of the palace for an indefinitely long time, until when he saw Xu Youxi, his eyes almost didn't shine.

"Father, has the court been peaceful recently?" Xu Youxi walked to Emperor Chongjiu and asked.

"Ah, of course it's too peaceful."

Emperor Chongjiu had a guilty conscience, why did he have to accept questions for the early court?As for the things that he had never heard of before going to court, will he be discovered?
"Then..." Xu Youxi planned to ask a few more questions, but he knew nothing about Emperor Chongjiu, so how could he give Xu Youxi the opportunity to expose himself!
"Well, Youxi, I think everything in the court hall is good, but the householder named Du Zhiyi is particularly annoying. I go to the morning court every day diligently and even approve memorials, but it's this dude named Du who doesn't even have a stool. Your father is not allowed to sit!"

Emperor Chongjiu complained very sadly.

"Then Master Du is a bit too much." Xu Youxi nodded cooperatively, "How about punishing him to work more in the future and not increasing his salary?"

"?"

These words seem quite reasonable, but why did Emperor Chongjiu feel that something was wrong?

"Father, you have worked hard these days, do you want to go back and have a good rest?" Xu Youxi asked.

"want!"

Emperor Chongjiu blurted out immediately.

Xu Youxi sent away Emperor Chongjiu with ease, and Zhou Yuxue finally followed His Majesty back with relief.

"Zhou Yuxue, Master Du really won't sit on the stool for the emperor?" Xu Youxi was a little curious.

Zhou Huixue looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Lord Du means that since the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, it is a bit unreasonable for him to continue to sit on the dragon chair."

"Well. Apart from this, has anything happened in the court recently?"

Zhou Huixue pondered for a moment, and replied: "Your Majesty, the 'martial arts test' jointly organized by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites has begun. The Chinese test has already been assessed, and Meng Shangshu personally participated in the preparation and invigilation of the test.

If you don't mention Zhou Yuxue, Xu Youxi will almost forget about it: "Martial arts, what problems did Mr. Meng have?"

"Your Majesty, the content of this martial arts examination has added the candidates' interpretation of the content of the "Great Law" and some recent important policies published in the "Gan Bao"..."

"Good."

After Xu Youxi returned to the imperial study, it took him a whole half a day to read through the remaining unaltered memorials of Emperor Chongjiu.

#
In the first year of Tianyou, October th, early dynasty.

The civil and military officials finally saw Xu Youxi, who had been ill for more than a month, finally healed and went to court again, all faces were filled with joy.

Even when kneeling down and shouting 'Long live Your Majesty', he seemed much more sincere.

Ah.

"All my loves, you have something to say."

As soon as Xu Youxi said this, all the civil and military officials under the ground immediately began to try.

"Yu Shangshu, how is the progress of the Jingcha Year?"

"..."

Yu Tan, who originally planned to hide his presence, was named again.

He didn't mean to dislike the new emperor at all, the main reason was that he suddenly missed the Supreme Emperor a little bit.

"Your Majesty, the Jingcha is coming to an end, and it will come to an end at the end of the month."

"Shangshu Yu is really capable. He has organized the 'Jingcha' of the imperial court in an orderly manner this year. Cracking down on corruption and dismissing incompetent officials has greatly improved the atmosphere of the court! Very good!" Xu Youxi praised without changing his expression.

"..."

Yu Tan was about to cry: Is there any way to make His Majesty shut up?
"I think lovers should look up to Shangshu Yu and be strict with themselves and others!"

"Your Majesty thinks highly of me. I just acted according to the law and didn't make much outstanding contribution." Yu Tan had a bitter face, his eyes dull.

"Look, everybody, Yu Shangshu is so outstanding, and he is still modest!"

Several junior officials who had just entered the imperial court, when they heard the new emperor's praise, also looked at Yu Shangshu enviously.Although they don't know what outstanding deeds Yu Shangshu has done, it must be different to be praised by His Majesty.

"..."

Yu sighed silently.How should he let people know that he is worthy of the praise he gave to His Majesty?

Yu Tan is different from others. After being repeatedly praised by the emperor, most people tend to gradually become arrogant and indulgent, and may even cause harm to one side.Yu Tan is very calm, if you praise him, he can refute himself a hundred in his heart.

As a result, the more Xu Youxi praised Yu Tan, the more cautious Yu Tan became in doing things, fearing that His Majesty was playing some tricks with him.

This time, the rest of the court officials also began to speak out.

Some were discussing the case of bandits in Hangzhou, others were reporting the reason for the King of Shu's rebellion, and some were praising some local officials for leading the people to do practical things and actively digging drainage channels.

Xu Youxi nodded while listening, and took a few more glances at the official roster in front of him, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by the name 'He Jiangyi'.

Isn't this He Muqing's father?
Xu Youxi began to quietly observe He Jiangyi's position, only to find out after a long time that the other party happened to be on leave and didn't come.

"If all the lovers have nothing to do, then retreat from the court." Xu Youxi tried to retreat several times, but in the end these people all seemed to be silent for dozens of days.Usually more than an hour is enough to go to court early, but today's time is probably more than doubled!

"Okay, if there is a project that needs funding from the imperial court, first go to the Ministry of Households to discuss it. If the amount is huge, then come to me through Du Shang's letter." Xu Youxi threw the job to Du Zhiyi.

The officials who just shouted that they hoped that the imperial court would build bridges, build roads and build temples decisively shut up.

What is it called, pay tribute to Du?
But anyone who is not a fool knows that His Majesty is much more eloquent than Du Zhiyi!
"I'm tired, let's retreat today."

Xu Youxi stopped asking the officials for their opinions, left the words and ran away.

It was early today, and Xu Youxi didn't even have time to correct the memorial, so he changed into casual clothes and left the palace.

"Li Si?"

Originally, Xu Youxi planned to leave the palace to find He Muqing, but unexpectedly, the other party recognized her first.

Xu Youxi heard the sound and looked, and there was a middle-aged man with a generous figure standing beside He Muqing. The two of them had at least to % similar appearance, especially when they laughed, their eyebrows and eyes were almost the same.

"Father, this is Li Si, my classmate and friend of the Imperial College! Li Si, this is my father." He Muqing ran over and introduced him enthusiastically.

When He Jiangyi saw Xu Youxi, his expression froze for a moment, and the word 'Your Majesty' almost blurted out.
