Chapter 123 Nan Rongjie is going to court

In the teahouses of the capital, the sound of idle chatter can be heard one after another.

"Everyone, have you heard? The powerful Zhao family has now fallen. The evil Zhao Yunfei finally got the retribution he deserved!" A middle-aged man discussed in a deep voice after tasting breakfast.

"That's true. This man once trampled on our social order wantonly. His evil deeds are too numerous to list! I heard that even the dog he raised could get an official position!" The man next to him echoed indignantly.

At this time, the waiter at the side could not help but interrupt: "Dear guests, I heard that when the Zhao family was searched, more than 100,000 taels of silver were found! It is hard to imagine how much of the people's money they have embezzled!" After saying that, he quickly refilled the guests with new tea.

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement: "Fortunately, the emperor is wise and brave, and has a keen eye for detail. He has finally eradicated this pest in the court. It is really gratifying!"

The idle chatter in the teahouse in the capital continued, and the tea drinkers talked about it and expressed various opinions on the downfall of the Zhao family.

"With the fall of the Zhao family, the atmosphere in the capital will probably improve a lot." An old man stroked his beard and said with deep emotion.

"What you said is absolutely right, old man. The Zhao family has always oppressed the people. Now they have ended up like this, which can be considered retribution." The middle-aged man said with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"But then again, although the Zhao family has fallen, how are we going to fill those vacant official positions they left behind?" The man on the side raised a practical question.

"You don't have to worry about this. The emperor will naturally select capable people to take over." The old man smiled, looking confident.

At this time, the waiter came over again and interrupted, "Dear guests, I also heard something. It is said that after the Zhao family was raided, a group of officials were taken away, and many officials in the Ministry of Personnel were promoted!"

"Yes, the court is in need of talents now. I believe that anyone with real talent and knowledge will be given important positions." The old man nodded and agreed.

In a private room nearby, Nan Rongjie was sipping tea and listening to the discussions around him. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

Nan Rongjie was not used to these days. For many years, he had been working diligently, doing every detail personally, but suddenly he was told that he could retire and enjoy a leisurely life like an emperor.

However, this kind of life of doing nothing, eating, drinking and having fun every day was too empty and boring for Nan Rongjie.

He put down the teacup in his hand and sighed slightly. Thinking back to his past busy and fulfilling life, Nan Rongjie couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable melancholy.

The court is in need of people now!

He still has the energy to work and can continue to shine!

He can also help his daughter share some of the work!

Thinking of this, Nan Rongjie's eyes lit up, as if he had found a new motivation for life. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the teahouse with his head held high.

Inside the palace.

Nan Rongxi was lying comfortably, enjoying the professional massage service and tasting fresh fruits leisurely. His face was filled with satisfaction and joy.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Nan Rongjie ran in hurriedly, his face full of anxiety and anticipation.

"Ah Xi, Ah Xi!" Nan Rongjie shouted his daughter's name loudly, his tone revealing a strong desire, "I want to continue to serve in the court!"

Nan Rongxi was startled by her father's sudden intrusion and anxious words. She sat up and signaled the handsome man who was massaging her to leave. Then she looked at Nan Rongjie with a puzzled expression on her face: "Dad, haven't you retired? Isn't it good to be the emperor? Why do you suddenly want to return to the court to serve as an official?"

Nan Rongjie walked up to Nan Rongxi, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "I have been living a very empty life these days. I found that I still love the court and love to serve the people. I want to continue to shine in the court."

Nan Rongxi nodded seriously after hearing this. She understood her father's feelings and respected his decision. Since the old man had said this, she was embarrassed to refuse. And now there was a vacant position of the Minister of Personnel in the court, which might be a perfect opportunity.

"Dad," Nan Rongxi said. "How about this, the position of the Minister of Personnel is given to you. The tasks of this position are relatively light, which allows you to continue to serve the court without being too tired. I believe you can be competent for this position and select more outstanding talents for the court."

Nan Rongjie said confidently, "Okay! Ah Xi, don't worry, I will strictly control the selection and employment of people in the future. Situations like the Zhao family will not happen again!"

Nan Rongjie thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, Ah Xi, when do I start attending court?"

Nan Rongxi nodded: "Dad, I'll talk to Youyue and you can start attending court tomorrow!"

Nan Rongjie continued, "As for Ah Yu and Ah Chen, I think we can't let them sit idle, let them do some work too!"

"Dad, you can arrange it however you want, just confirm it with Youyue and Dacongming!"

Nan Rongxi pondered for a moment: [That’s how I was taken to court. My brother and sister are in trouble now. We can’t even lie down! ]

Nan Rongjie: I...

"Okay, I'll go find them now!"

After Nan Rongjie finished speaking, he went to find Nan Rongyu and Nan Rongchen.

Nan Rongyu has been fascinated by fishing since he no longer had to attend court. Every morning, he would get up early and go fishing by the Mojiang River. In the early morning, there was still a thin mist on the river surface. Nan Rongyu sat quietly by the river, holding a fishing rod and staring at the buoy on the river surface intently.

When Nan Rongjie found him, he had caught a big fish and his face was filled with excitement and a satisfied smile.

Nan Rongjie looked at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This kid is more passionate about fishing than about government affairs. However, he also knew that it was time for them to get back into government affairs. "

"Ah Yu," Nan Rongjie called out. "Dad wants to talk to you about something."

Nan Rongyi turned around and saw that it was Nan Rongjie, so he put down his fishing rod and walked over: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"The court needs you now," Nan Rongjie said seriously, "You and Achen need to start participating in court affairs."

Nan Rongyu was stunned after hearing this, then smiled bitterly: "Okay, Dad. I understand."

Nan Rongyu has always listened to Nan Rongjie since he was a child. Since his father has given the order, he has no choice but to wait until the holidays to experience the joy of fishing. Now he finally understands why Nan Rongxi was unwilling to go to court!
