    Mo Fei only returned to Mo Jun's Mansion in the early morning, Gu He muttered when he saw her appearance, not only did he not return home at night, but also changed his clothes, and more importantly, there was a faint hickey on his neck.

    Did that man finally make a move?

    Gu He was not feeling well, and stared at Murphy with resentful eyes along the way.

    Murphy was uncomfortable staring at him, so he hurried back to the room and isolated him from the door.

    The whole person collapsed on the bed like collapse, recalling the madness last night, could not help but blush and heartbeat. Wu Yue was a man with a strong possessiveness. It was almost impossible for him to abide by etiquette and have few desires. Now that he knows her woman's identity, he can still keep his promise, which is enough to show the importance he attaches to himself.

    And does she love him? This question is difficult to answer, at least not annoying, to say love, it seems that it has not yet reached that level. If she is destined to not be able to stand alone in this world, then Wu Yue will be the only one who can make her willing to resign. Wu Yue is the biggest support for her to realize her ambition and self-worth. She has the grace of knowing and saving her, and she can't avoid his feelings for both public and private.

    As for what will happen in the future, it is difficult for her to predict at present.

    Thinking like this, Murphy, who was sore all over, fell asleep in a daze...

    Wu Yue had been in a very happy mood recently. Although his expression was as grim as ever, the coldness around his body had completely dissipated. This change was very obvious, and all the ministers felt that the pressure had dropped dramatically. Things have changed since that day off. It is said that on that day, Fu Tu was left in the palace for the night...

    The eyes of the ministers looking at Murphy became more and more ambiguous. It must be known that Wu Yue has never allowed the minister to stay overnight since he ascended the throne. Even if there is an important event, he is only allowed to return to the government with the documents.

    What's even more imaginative is that the maids who served Wu Yue were all secretive about the events of that day. What did this mean? Represents the unspeakable!

    Despite the speculation of ministers, the new bureaucracy was implemented as scheduled. Referring to the official system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Mo Fei established three provinces and six ministries, subdivided various official positions and clearly defined their functions. The positions of Prime Minister, Taiwei, and Censor were unchanged, and the nine ministers were abolished, and they were divided into three provinces and six departments.

    The prime minister was still succeeded by Luqiu, who was in charge of the dispatch of officials and comprehensively managed government affairs. The Taiwei was an old minister, Chu Lin, and was in charge of the national military. However, because Wu Yue had military power in his hands, the Taiwei had no right to dispatch and was only in charge of military reform and supervision. The censor is Huang Han, who is in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, and is also the highest commander of the intelligence department.

    Secondly, the names of many official positions have been changed. For example, Lang Zhongling was changed to Zhongshuling, and Zhongchang Shi was changed to Shilang.

    In addition to serving as the crown prince, Mo Fei also served as a straight bachelor and a minister of the Ministry of Housing. Considering that the next step was to carry out agricultural reform, Murphy had to figure out the population and land area of ​​Soo first, so he took over the most cumbersome post of Minister of the Household.

    After years of wars, the territory of the Soo Kingdom has expanded, the population has dropped sharply, a large amount of farmland has been abandoned or taken as private property by the powerful, and the household registration in various places has been chaotic.

    As soon as Murphy took office, she checked the dossier of the Ministry of Housing, but after checking some of them, she knew that these records were old and far from reality. In order to settle down inside and outside, the officials did not record the households except for a simple record, which caused confusion in the distribution of land, and the per capita land occupation was unknown.

    Wu Yue also intended to re-count the territory and population of the state of Soo, so he ordered the counties and counties to send the results of the census of their boundaries into the Sangxi before winter.

    Mo Fei is directly responsible for Guxi's household registration. She has dozens of servants and officials, all of whom are scholars specializing in handling documents. Mo Fei thought that with their help, it should not be difficult to sort out the household registration files systematically. At the same time, Wu Yue also sent people to assist Mo Fei to go to various markets in Guxi to investigate and verify the population and land.

    Although it is not difficult, it is work that requires a lot of patience.

    The most important thing Murphy lacks is patience, but when she first took office, she found that the situation was not as smooth as she imagined.

    Although the reform of the official system was successfully passed, most of the officials were extremely dissatisfied with Murphy, and even at a young age, he was ranked second-rank, and once he stayed overnight, he asked King Soo to obey him. The rumours of Futu Yi Semei are rampant. Although the male style is prevalent in this era, male pets are still just the status of inferior works that cannot be on the stage, and they are quite despised by the world.

    Therefore, the measures carried out by Murphy were mostly violated by the ministers. She now has no cronies or support in the DPRK and China, and several high-ranking ministers she is close to also have their own positions, which is difficult to match.

    Therefore, after officially entering the Ministry of Housing, Murphy's Zhili deployment regarded him as a courtier, complimented on the face, but was extremely neglectful in his actions. A file is called to them, and it can be dragged to the sea. If Mo Fei questioned, he would put the responsibility on the subordinate who did the actual census.

    Although Murphy was a little angry in her heart, she was calm on the surface. She organized all the files and no longer distributed them to others. She took the job by herself. This is a huge project, not to mention one person, even dozens of people, it will take a long time, not to mention Murphy has to count the area of ​​each household, which is extremely cumbersome.

    Many people secretly ridiculed her for being overly self-sufficient, and the ministers all waited to see her ashamedly asking Wu Yue for help.

    However, Murphy turned a deaf ear to this, and went into the library every day to sort out and transcribe, and listed them according to regions and surnames. Every time he worked until late at night, except for eating and going to the toilet, he hardly left the desk.

    After dozens of days, this situation finally reached Wu Yue's ears.

    With a "bang", Wu Yue smashed an inkstone on the ground and said angrily, "Those people are so bold! How dare they be so frivolous!"

    As soon as Murphy entered the hall, he saw the ink spilled on the ground and the servant who was kneeling and trembling on the ground.

    She asked, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

    Seeing her, Wu Yue's expression softened a little, and he said, "Why didn't you tell Gu?"

    "tell what?"

    "The grievances you suffered in the Ministry of Households."

    "Your Majesty has thought too much, but I have not been wronged."

    Wu Yue pursed his lips, loudly reprimanded the surrounding servants, and came over and pulled out Murphy: "You don't have to hide from the orphan, the orphan will call the shots for you, killing a dozen small officials is just a sentence."

    Mo Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must not do this, your killing decree may chill the hearts of many people."

    "Hold their hearts?" Wu Yue said coldly, "If they dare to commit crimes, they should be punished. You leave this matter to Gu, and Gu will get justice for you."

    His people also dare to bully him, it's really too long!

    "Your Majesty, please don't do this." Murphy stopped, "Now that the relationship between the minister and His Majesty has already been questioned, and letting His Majesty stand for the minister, won't the rumors intensify?"

    Wu Yue's eyes were cold and he gritted his teeth: "Whoever dares to talk too much will die!"

    "The killing is too heavy, other than the crime of sitting on the court and causing chaos in the court, what effect does it have?"

    Wu Yue looked at her for a long time, then said annoyed to himself, "I shouldn't have agreed with you to stay in the court."

    "Your Majesty, is this contempt for the minister?" Mo Fei said firmly, "The minister is not a person who retreats in the face of difficulties. If there is a slight obstacle to retreat, or to take advantage of His Majesty's power, then how can the minister convince the public in the future?"

    "You are not someone else, you are a lonely woman!" Wu Yue roared.

    "Fu Tu is even more of His Majesty's minister." Mo Fei said calmly, "The minister has his own plans. Your Majesty doesn't need to be too concerned, you just need to watch from the sidelines. If Your Majesty takes action for the minister, then everything the minister has done will be in vain."

    Wu Yue couldn't, and could only promise to wait and see what happened. At the end, he grabbed Murphy's waist and whispered, "Stay here tonight."

    Mo Fei took Wu Yue's hand off without hesitation, and said lightly, "Your Majesty should know that the minister has been busy with his affairs recently, and he can't wait to spend it together with the time to sleep. Your Majesty should spare the minister for the time being."

    Saying that, he bowed and left, leaving Wu Yue alone to smash the table and stare.

    Murphy still insisted on daily official duties, never sleepless, never speaking, and fell asleep on the desk several times because of exhaustion. When Wu Yue saw this, he was deeply distressed. It took a lot of effort to hold back the violent killing intent and did not come forward to deal with those officials.

    After more than a month like this, the people who originally read the joke were silent, and those lower officials also began to feel ashamed. They were paid monthly, but they had nothing to do. Although they had the advice of other ministers, their consciences were still uneasy. Murphy worked tirelessly without complaining or blaming. She responded to everyone's doubts with her own style of behavior.

    If Fu Tu was really arrogant and arrogant, then why didn't King Soo come out to protect him now?

    If the courtiers of the world's Meizhu are as pragmatic and humble as a floating map, what's the harm in having more?

    A servant finally couldn't stand the censure of his conscience, and took the initiative to ask to share the affairs.

    Murphy didn't say much, but calmly distributed part of the affairs to him, and introduced his sorting method in detail, so that he could refer to the records.

    The official nodded to be taught, but his eyes secretly looked at Murphy in front of him. Sitting beautifully, with a focused expression, he was indeed a handsome gentleman. No wonder King Soo loved him so much. Almost no one, inside or outside, can match.

    The official was convinced.

    With the first one, there will be a second one, and a third one. After that, many servants have joined the tedious work. Even if there is someone else's scolding, they can no longer do their job properly. They can't afford to lose this man...

    How did they know that this move actually saved their own lives, and if they slack off for a few days, their lives would be hard to save.

    In the courtyard, Murphy had just boiled a pot of tea when he saw the Prince Luo Chen coming.

    Murphy stood up to salute.

    Luo Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, as my teacher, this is your first time here to study!"

    "Don't be surprised, Your Highness, I have been busy with business recently, and I really have no time to spare." Murphy poured a cup of tea for him and replied lightly.

    "I know that there are groups of rats jumping up and down, making things difficult for Mr. everywhere." Luo Chen smiled.

    "It's not difficult, it's just dissatisfaction." Murphy didn't care.

    "Even so, it's not their turn to bully your husband." Luo Chen said angrily, "I originally thought that my father would stand up for my husband, but I didn't want to be silent."

    Futu was his savior. After he disappeared, he felt guilty for a long time, until he learned that he was still alive. For Fu Tu, he was both grateful and respectful, and he couldn't bear the slights others treated him.

    Murphy said: "How can Your Majesty stand up for your ministers? Don't worry, Your Majesty, and don't spoil your interest in reading because of these little things. Why don't you let your ministers tell you about the customs of the barbarian realm?"

    "So good." He was curious about Murphy's ascetic journey for a long time.

    According to the regulations, Murphy, as the prince's grandfather, gave a lecture to the prince every three days. Murphy's teaching method is different from others. She will not follow the script, but based on what she has seen and heard, she will tell the prince about the customs of various places and important events in the court. Different from the boring translation of reading texts, this kind of teaching is obviously more attractive to Luo Chen, and sometimes he even discusses some political affairs with him, listening to his opinions and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages. In his spare time, he would also tell him some fables, which often made Luo Chen laugh.

    Luo Chen was deeply impressed by one lecture, and after that, he was full of expectations for Murphy's lectures.

    When the sun was about to set, a servant came over and saluted, "His Royal Highness, my lord, the teaching time has passed."

    Luo Chen was still not finished: "Is the time over?"

    Murphy stood up and said, "My minister will come again next time to give a lecture to His Highness."

    "Well, don't forget it, sir."

    Mo Fei nodded, and was about to turn around when the servant said, "My lord, your Majesty, please go to Chongxi Palace."

    Murphy had a headache, and Wu Yue told her what else could happen to her, but she was just dissatisfied with her desires. Before because of her busy affairs, she endured it. Now that she finally has some leisure, he can't stand loneliness anymore.

    Mo Fei thought for a while, then suddenly leaned over to Luo Chen and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, can you do me a favor?"

    Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and he also said in a low voice, "Do you want me to help you leave the palace?"

    "Smart!" Murphy gave a thumbs up.

    Although Luo Chen didn't know the meaning of the thumb, he knew that he was complimenting him, so a bright smile appeared on his face immediately...

    On the same day, Wu Yue, who had been let go by Murphy, was depressingly guarding the empty boudoir, and decided that he must be severely punished next time!
