Chapter 372 Becoming Popular (Part 2)

When the emperor saw the five ministers coming, he wondered, "Five adults are here to see you at the same time. Do you have something important to report?"

The Minister of Personnel was the first to cry with a wronged look, "Your Majesty, I am suffering."

The other ministers followed suit and cried, "Your Majesty, I am suffering too."

"What, what are you doing?"

"Why are you crying?" The emperor was frightened by their actions and quickly stood up and asked, "What happened? Did someone bully you? But you are all second-rank officials, who can bully you? It can't be the prince or the princess, right? Tell me, who is it?"

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, the Minister of Personnel quickly said, "No, no, no, no, no one bullied us, Your Majesty, don't think too much."

"Yes, yes, no one bullied people." The other ministers followed suit.

The emperor was puzzled: "Since no one bullies you, what are you doing..."

The Minister of Personnel said: "We are envious, we envy the Minister of Justice."

"Envy the Minister of Justice?" The emperor was even more puzzled: "You are both second-rank officials. What is there to envy? Envy that he gave birth to ten daughters?"

The five ministers were ashamed.

"Also, if you are envious, why do you say that you are suffering?"

The Minister of Personnel said truthfully: "We envy the emperor for sending a capable person to help the Minister of Justice handle official affairs, and we have no capable person to help us, so we can only complain."

The emperor finally understood what they meant and laughed: "So you are worried that someone will help the Ministry of Justice handle official affairs. This is easy to handle. When the imperial examination is held, we will recruit more talents, and then you will have a lot more free time."

Since the merger of the five countries, there are indeed many more court affairs. If he did not have the prince to help him handle state affairs, he really couldn't get away to go to the five cities to participate in the martial arts competition.

Therefore, when the five ministers complained, he could understand their hard work very well.

The Minister of Personnel quickly said, "Your Majesty, that's not what we meant."

The emperor was puzzled: "Didn't you want more people to help you? Why don't you mean that now?"

"We do want more people to help us, but this person must be someone we designate."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a candidate?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

The emperor was very curious about who could catch the eyes of the five ministers.

The five ministers looked at each other.

The emperor was even more curious: "Who is it that makes you so embarrassed to talk about it?"

"Your Majesty, this person is..."

The Minister of Personnel said embarrassedly: "Mu Nanjin."

"Mu Nanjin?" The emperor looked at him in surprise: "The person you want is Mu Nanjin?"

The Minister of Personnel nodded: "Yes, it's her."

The emperor was puzzled: "Aren't you worried that she will reveal my secrets? Why do you want her?"

"This old minister thought about it all night last night. In addition to accidentally revealing people's private secrets, Mu Nanjin is actually a rare talent."

The emperor was embarrassed: "Are you sure you are praising Mu Nanjin?"

The Minister of Personnel said affirmatively: "Yes."

The emperor: "..."

In fact, he also knew that Mu Nanjin was a talent, but he was surprised that the officials who had always avoided her actually wanted her help.

He asked: "What can Mu Nanjin do in the Ministry of Personnel?"

"To answer your question, the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the transfer, inspection, appointment and removal, assessment, examination, promotion, honors, etc. of officials. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about the inspection can save our Ministry of Personnel a lot of things. In this way, we can find better talents to serve the emperor and get rid of some parasites. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

The emperor nodded: "It's indeed a good idea."

"The Ministry of Personnel can save a lot of manpower and financial resources by eliminating the inspection step, and it can also save assessment and examination. The extra manpower can help share other things."

The Minister of Personnel became more and more excited: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Personnel really needs Mu Nanjin."

The emperor: "..."

Then, the Minister of Revenue said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue also needs Mu Nanjin."

The emperor was speechless: "The person the Minister of Revenue wants is also Mu Nanjin?"

The Ministry of Revenue nodded.

The emperor looked at the other three ministers: "What about you? You don't want Mu Nanjin too?"

The three ministers nodded together.

Emperor: "..."

I never thought that Mu Nanjin would be so popular.

The Minister of Revenue said unhappily: "How can your Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War and Ministry of Works use Mu Nanjin? You should stop joining in the fun."

The Minister of Rites retorted: "Why can't the Ministry of Rites use it? Do you still remember Mu Nanjin's reception of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Great David Kingdom, the Great Chen Kingdom and the Great Liao Kingdom? With her around, envoys from other countries dare not make trouble."

"Now there are no envoys from other countries visiting, so you should stop making trouble."

"Who said there are no envoys visiting? In a few days, the Nine Moon Kingdom and the Nine Regions Kingdom will send envoys to visit our Great Qian Kingdom. If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor."

The other four ministers looked at the emperor.

The emperor nodded: "Indeed."

The Minister of Personnel said, "Why didn't I hear about this?"

"I also received the news yesterday, and then sent someone to inform the Minister of Rites."

The Minister of Personnel looked at the Minister of Works: "Where is the Minister of Works? Why do you want Mu Nanjin?"

The Minister of Works said, "You also know that Mu Nanjin knows a lot of things. Some things are not necessarily about people, but also about things. If she can tell us where the dam is in trouble, we can find someone to repair it in time, and the people can be spared from the disaster and will not suffer from the water disaster. The same is true for the land."

The Minister of Personnel stopped talking.

The Minister of Revenue looked at the Minister of War: "What about you? What do you want Mu Nanjin to do?"

The Minister of War said, "There are too many things she can do, such as helping us select military officers. Now that medium-sized countries are eyeing us, we need her to help select a large number of military officers to guard the border. And she can also inform other countries in advance of raiding us, so we can prepare in advance. I won't say much about other things, she must be useful."

The other four ministers stopped talking.

Emperor: "..."

I didn't expect Mu Nanjin to be so popular.

The Minister of Personnel said: "Since all six ministries need Mu Nanjin, please arrange Mu Nanjin's schedule reasonably."

The emperor sighed: "I want to arrange her duties reasonably, but do you think she will listen to my arrangements every time? Can you control her?"

The ministers looked at each other: "This..."

"Also, she may poke your little secrets every day. Are you sure you can bear it? Are you sure your subordinates will not fight or turn against their colleagues because of her poke some private matters? You also know that her actions are unintentional, and you can't stop her from thinking too much."

The ministers: "..."

Please give me a monthly ticket, muah
