My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! -
Chapter 536 - 350 Yiren's Thoughts_2
The Left Prime Minister sighed and said, "The court has indeed been unfair to you. Even if you have grievances, it's understandable. However, I promise that similar things won't happen again in the future..."
He looked at Li Nuo and spoke again, "I won't beat around the bush with you. This time, bringing you back is in hopes that you can apply your talents in Daxia. Whatever you need, feel free to speak, and the court will try to accommodate you. Regarding your official position, I promised you before: you can choose any Standard Fourth Rank position in the court..."
No matter how high the position, it's insubstantial, easy to be promoted, easier to be demoted.
Li Nuo has no desire for promotion.
If he wanted, he could return to Zhao Country and immediately be a leader under one person, above millions, even the position of Prime Minister would be within his reach.
He did not respond directly but said, "Left Prime Minister, you decide."
The Left Prime Minister thought for a moment and said, "How about being the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and also hold the position of Scheeren of the Secretariat? If there's anything, you don't need to report to the Scheeren, just come directly to me."
The Ministry of Justice already handles many matters, the Secretariat is even busier. After handling affairs for half a year, Li Nuo plans to spend time with his family in the upcoming period. Initially, he wanted to refuse the Left Prime Minister, but then the Left Prime Minister suddenly stood still, bowed to him, and said, "I am incapable, have been an official for so many years, and have not yet brought good days to the people of Daxia. Henceforth, I'm entrusting it to you..."
Looking at the gray-haired Prime Minister, so humble and deferential, Li Nuo's lips quivered. Ultimately, he could only say, "Alright, but I may not go to the government office every day."
The Left Prime Minister did not hesitate at all and said, "That's fine, the Secretariat won't assign you any duties, you don't need to come daily, the Ministry of Justice you can arrange according to your discretion."
With such words, Li Nuo had no reason to refuse anymore.
Having done so much for Zhao Country, if he were to return to Daxia and do nothing, he'd undoubtedly be criticized.
Li Nuo has ample experience in maintaining balance.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Then so be it. I will swiftly discuss medical reform matters with the Imperial Hospital, liaise with Sinong Si, and also with the Ministry of War. But whether they will heed my words, that's uncertain..."
The Left Prime Minister thought for a moment, took out seals, stamped them on several blank memorials, handed them to Li Nuo, and said, "Write what you need them to do, no need for review..."
As Prime Minister, overseeing court affairs naturally comes with certain privileges that ordinary officials don't have.
When Li Nuo received the memorials, he touched the Left Prime Minister's hand, and the Vast Qi within him was subtly stirred.
The Left Prime Minister sensed this aura, looked at him in shock, and said, "You've cultivated Vast Qi?"
Li Nuo nodded.
The Left Prime Minister couldn't help but reach out, pat Li Nuo's head, a joyful smile emerged on his aged face, repeatedly saying, "Good, good!"
Looking at this young face, he seemed to see the person from twenty years ago.
At that time, he too had Vast Qi.
What a pity...
After a long time, he finally looked away, patted Li Nuo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about anything, with me here, you can go ahead with confidence..."
Moments later, Li Nuo left the Left Prime Minister's government office and exited the Secretariat.
With the Left Prime Minister's promise, whatever he wanted to do wasn't as smooth as in Zhao Country but was better than before.
This elderly man over sixty at least sincerely cares for the people.
Just as Li Nuo was leaving the palace gates.
Ministry of Personnel.
A middle-aged official walked into the Right Prime Minister's government office, closed the door, and said softly, "Teacher, Li Nuo has returned."
The Right Prime Minister, with his hands behind his back, looked at the portrait of Confucian Saint on the wall and said, "I know."
The middle-aged official continued, "The Left Prime Minister intends to promote him to Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Scheeren of the Secretariat. Should we oppose it?"
Li Nuo, having served less than half a year, was promoted from Standard Fifth Rank to dual positions of Standard Fourth Rank. Even his father back then couldn't compare. Such a promotion speed is unprecedented. If the Ministry of Personnel opposes, his promotion definitely won't pass.
The Right Prime Minister waved his hand and said, "There's no need, what's meant to happen has already happened. Even if he's back, it can't change the outcome."
The middle-aged official's eyes showed a hint of sorrow as he softly said, "If we had transferred him earlier, Dongfang Bo might not have died, and Chen Qi..."
The Right Prime Minister turned and said solemnly, "Including you and me, since we've chosen this path, we must be ready to die at any time. Death isn't fearful; what's fearful is a meaningless death!"
In his eyes were both admiration and lament, he softly said, "I've sensed Vast Qi in him, but alas, he was born too early. The current Daxia has no place for his talents..."
The middle-aged official set aside his sadness and said again, "The people from the Ministry of War say that every major family is trying to send their offspring into the military, and many generals have received their bribes..."
While war is unfortunate for the people, for others, it's also a great opportunity for achievement.
A war will lead to the downfall of countless noble families and also the rise of new ones.
The Right Prime Minister squinted and said softly, "Let them send, the more the better..."
...
After returning to Ningxin Garden, the attitudes of two female physicians towards Li Nuo changed drastically.
Previously, they guarded against Li Nuo like a thief, not letting Li Nuo sleep with Jiaren Anning at night.
Since returning this time, their attitudes towards Li Nuo became very respectful, humbly consulting Li Nuo on medical issues.
