Chapter 617: If Something Can Be Done, It Will Be Done

Nan Xi raised her hand to screen the people leaving the palace, turned her head to look at Rong Yu, and smiled slightly: "Xie Jin has made great achievements this time, what reward do you plan to give him?"

Rong Yu stood up, walked to her side and sat down: "Both the Department of Husbandry and the Department of Punishment were left to him."

Nan Xi was slightly surprised: "Isn't it too early?"

Taking charge of two ministries at once, I am afraid that the civil and military officials in the court will not be convinced. After all, Xie Jin is really young, and many ministers who have been in office for decades may not be able to achieve the position of minister.

"If you have meritorious service in this investigation, please go to the Criminal Department first." Rong Yu picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his lips and took a sip. "Most of the officials in the Household Department are Su Ce's people, some are his disciples, and some are from the Su family. In-laws, so in addition to Su Ce, the household department also needs some rectification. "

Nan Xi thought for a moment and understood what he meant: "When I come back, let Xie Jin continue to check, and change one check after another?"

After the previous Minister of Punishment was demoted, the position of Shangshu is still vacant. With Xie Jin's fearless temperament, it would be appropriate for him to take the post of Minister of Punishment.

"Your Majesty is the one who knows me." Rong Yu put down the tea cup and kissed her on the face, "When the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are replaced by reliable young upstarts, and Xie Jin takes over, things will be much easier in the future. There are going to be too many people who are going to trip him up.”

Nan Xi laughed: "In this case, Xie Jin will offend a lot of people."

With the temperament of the ninth master of the Xie family, once he takes over the power of the Ministry of Punishments, it is equivalent to putting a tight spell on the ministers in the court.

This investigation and punishment of the Su family and the Yun family has already done a great job, and the court officials are already wary of him. If he really wants to make drastic changes to the household department, everyone, both civil and military, will be in danger.

"It doesn't matter." Rong Yu reached out and held her in his arms, "Give him the privilege and let him do what he wants. I am still young and can handle any consequences."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "Actually, I thought you would give him the official department."

"Prince Jing is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel." Rong Yu said, "Even if Prince Jing retires in the future, it would be more appropriate for the Ministry of Personnel to be given to Xuanyuan Chen. Half of the officials in the Ministry of Revenue are Su Ce's people, and they need to be vigorously rectified. Xie Jin is smart and capable, and can control those who have experienced the benefits. Prince Jing's management of the civil affairs department is not bad. There are people who seek personal gain with power, but the degree is not serious. It will be easy to turn a blind eye. It’s harmless.”

Nan Xi thought for a moment: "That's true. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion, rewards and punishments of officials, which is very important. Xuanyuan Chen has a gentle and principled temperament, so he can be allowed to take over without drastic measures to clear away the dirt."

However, Xuanyuan Chen does not yet have the courage, achievements, and courage. Compared to Xie Jin, he is like a little sheep in the officialdom. His greatest advantage is that he is cautious in words and deeds, and is smart and sharp.

Such a character will not make mistakes easily, but will only do his or her own thing well and adhere to principles and bottom lines. This is actually enough for a young man who is just starting his official career.

After all, it is enough to have Xie Jin in the court who is bold and not afraid of offending others. If there is another Xie Jin like this, the other ministers will really live in dire straits.

The king does not need his ministers to be frightened. It is good to have pressure, but too much pressure is not good, as it can easily drive people crazy.

"Xuanyuan Chen will train by your side for three to five years, and then it will be better to let him go to the civil service department." Nan Xi said, "Prince Jing is still young, so there is no need to abdicate too early."

Rong Yu's gaze fell on the side of Nan Xi's face: "Before we abdicate, Xie Jin will take over the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Xuanyuan Chen will take over the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household will recommend a few young people to assist them. The Forbidden Army has Chu Hongyi. , the Tutor has Xuanyuan Qi, the Black Obsidian Army has Xuanyuan Yao..."

"Then you can safely pass on the throne and let your son worry about the big things in the country, while the two of us enjoy the leisurely and comfortable fairy years?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "It's worthy of being able to make a wishful thinking so loudly and quickly. He is a thoughtful regent.”

Rong Yu's lips curled up slightly: "Xi'er Shengming."

"Hao'er will not ascend the throne until he is sixteen." Nan Xi said calmly, "After ascending the throne, he will take power directly and does not need anyone to assist him. Whether he is a veteran cabinet minister or a young upstart, he only has the responsibility of assisting, but does not have the power of a regent."

Rong Yu was silent for a moment.

"In history, few ministers who were involved in the power of the regent had a good end." Nan Xi's voice was calm, "Whether it was because the regent took power and he became ambitious, he was obsessed with power, or the young emperor was jealous and had murderous intentions," The word "regent" usually means a bad outcome. Avoid it if you can. It can save Hao'er some trouble and cause less murder. "

After a pause, "A'yu, you can't compare yourself. You know what you want. Besides, we are husband and wife. I trust you. But when the young emperor ascends the throne and the auxiliary ministers have sole power, In the eyes of the ministers, he is a temporary emperor. This kind of power is addictive to ordinary people, and I don't want to take risks. "

She has only one son.

This son can spend more time learning how to govern the country and how to improve his skills, instead of having to face the intrigues of the court and the obstacles he may encounter in the future from the age of ten.

Rong Yu was silent, as if hesitating.

"A'yu." Nan Xi stretched out her hand and pinched his face, "There's nothing wrong with the two of us staying in the palace. If anything happens, I can submit to him. There are so many subordinates around you, so you don't have to worry about everything. Government affairs are very important to you. It’s just a matter of two or three hours a day——”

"Xi'er." Rong Yu grabbed her hand and kissed her one by one gently, "You can make the decision, I will listen to you."

Nan Xi smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as I don't accept the emperor's husband, we will be the same wherever we stay."

Rong Yu was very calm even when being teased: "Xi'er is right. Whether it is the magnificent palace or the carefree mountains, as long as you are there, I will feel at ease."
