The first year of Zhenguan.
Chang 'an City, Lai Public House.
"Father, you want me to be an Imperial Censor?”
A young man's surprised voice echoed throughout the room.
Du He had a look of disbelief. She looked at Du Ruhui, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, and held her forehead to sort out her somewhat troubled thoughts.
He was also called Du He, but not the Du He of the Tang Dynasty. He came from the 21st century and was a university graduate who had just entered society. On his way back, he saw a girl drowning by the lake and jumped down to save her. However, because of a cramp in his foot, he sank to the bottom of the lake.
When he woke up, he had already become Du He. What made his scalp numb was that Du Ruhui was telling him to enter the palace to be a censor.
"Ahem…"
Du Ruhui, who was in his forties, was lying on the bed with a pale face and coughing. He looked at his second son, who was in a daze, and could not help but sigh. It was too much to force his son, who had just turned fourteen, to enter the palace, but now there was no room for retreat.
"Du He, listen carefully."
Du Ruhui endured the pain in his abdomen and exhaled a long breath. He looked at him with a solemn expression and said,"Father doesn't have much time left, so I must seek a future for you. His Majesty has already promised me that you will be an Imperial Censor from now on.”
"We'll go later?"
Du He widened his eyes and said in astonishment,"What can I do if I go?”
"The way of being an official is to meet the sage."
Du Ruhui forced a smile."I have made great contributions to Li Tang and have a relationship with His Majesty. You brat, it's much easier for you to enter the court than when I was in the past. Today, in the morning court, you just need to learn to be silent and watch how the old fox speaks in the court. When your temperament is smoothed out, it won't be difficult for you to rise step by step.”
"Must go?"
Du He asked.
"If you don't go, I'll die with regrets!”
"Go and attend the morning assembly now!" Du Ruhui said hoarsely.”
————
"Does this count as reaching the heavens in one step?"
Du He put on the Xie Zhi crown, a fifth-grade crimson official robe, and black official boots. She sighed and walked toward the Taiji Palace in Chang 'an.
Although it was a leap to the sky, this feeling wasn't very good. Du He muttered softly. Since ancient times, the censor was a job that offended people. Forget it, it was better to follow her father's wishes and remain silent in the court.
"Ding Dong!"
" Censor System bound!"
" New mission: Host Du He is participating in the court for the first time. Host, please choose a candidate to participate in the morning court session. If you successfully participate, you will receive a special gift bag! After failing to participate in the memorial, he lost his official position and left Chang 'an.”
Du He was speechless.
Was this how it was played? Du He couldn't help but roll her eyes. She had agreed to remain silent in the imperial court today. How could she remain silent now?
"I have to."
Du He sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to remain silent, but this punishment hit his Achilles 'heel. His father was lying on the sickbed. If he knew that he was going to lose his official position on the first day, he would die of anger.
"But who?"
Du He tilted her head and pondered.
"You are the second young master of the Lai Kingdom, Du He?”
At this moment, a low voice sounded behind her. Du He turned around and saw a censor wearing a Xie Zhi crown staring at her with a gloomy expression.
The color of the official robe was purple and black. Du He looked at the purple official robe that the middle-aged man in front of her was wearing, which could only be worn by third-grade officials and above. She revealed a kind smile on her face and asked,"You haven't taught me yet?"
"Teach me? Hahaha!"
The censor suddenly flung his sleeves and shook his head as he walked past him. Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head to look at him coldly."I am your superior, Imperial Censor Wei Zheng. You are a lowly official, but you have already asked the superior for instructions. Do you know what crime it is? Today, after I go to court, I will first consult you with His Majesty to let you know that not everyone can be ranked in the court with their father's achievements!”
With that, he strode away.
Du He touched her chin and looked at Wei Zheng's back as he left. She sighed faintly."You're really sleepy. This isn't how you seek death. Since you've said so, who else should I join if not you?”
