Dealing with a group of officials at the night banquet of hundreds of officials is either hypocritical, or a little sincere and warm, but also a little tired.

If this is someone who knew each other before, it's just ridiculous that those officials who have never met before also come to join in the fun, and there are many words of praise or like-mindedness.

An Sui was vague, and those who could refuse were rejected. Forming a gang and forming a faction, she can't do these things.

Finally waited until the end of the night banquet of the hundred officials, An Sui walked out of the main hall, and the cold wind blew gently, and the sleepiness on his body drove away a few points.

An Sui was about to leave, but he heard a middle-thick male voice shouting to him, "Lord An, please stay!" ”

An Sui turned around and saw that it was Qin Ming, the left minister, although he became the left minister after Zheng Dongliu, but his prestige was also famous in the previous dynasty.

An Sui bowed and saluted, "Xiaguan Honglu Temple Zoe An Sui has seen Lord Zuo Xiang. ”

"There is no need to be so humble in front of this official, although you are a female official, but your merits and loyalty and courage are also appreciated by this official, but you have been an envoy for foreign affairs for many years, and it seems that many rules in the court have been forgotten." Qin Ming's voice was not loud, but like Hong Zhong, he revealed a kind of coercion everywhere, just like a parent's demeanor.

"It is true that the lower officials have been out for many years, and they don't know much about many things in the court, and if there is anything inappropriate about the lower officials, they should ask the Zuo Prime Minister for more guidance. After all, Xia Guan is new to the court, and there are many things that have not been perfected. ”

"I heard that the emperor went to Shanglin Yuan a few days ago, but he only brought you with him?" Qin Ming snorted coldly, "The matter of accompanying the chariot should be the duty of the harem concubines, and even the escort of the female official should also be the duty of the female officials of the inner court, not what you should do as a foreign minister." Now that you are also the only female official in the court who can go to the court, you should understand how to write the word 'self-respect'! What is the difference between what you do now and a traitor? ”

There were more and more people who stopped to watch the excitement around, and they all stood not far away, looking like they were watching a good show, and they were pointing a few words from time to time.

An Sui had never been reprimanded in public like this, and his color burned to the back of his ears, and the fist hidden in his sleeve gradually clenched, and when his nails were embedded in his palm, the slight pain made An Sui wake up.

This is the path she chooses herself, who is she to blame?

She held back the embarrassment in her heart, raised her head, and smiled slightly, "What the lord said, the lower officials remember." ”

"Eh, what Lord Qin said, how can Ben Hou think that Lord Qin is jealous of Lord An?"

An Sui raised his head, and Xing Hou walked out of the hall with a wine bottle in his hand.

"Xinghou Jin'an!" Qin Ming frowned and raised his body, "What did Marquis Xing just say this, Xiaguan is teaching Lord An, as a human minister, he should have the virtue of a human minister, and Xiaguan is the left minister, the head of a hundred officials, and he should be the emperor's training official." Did Xing Hou feel that there was something wrong with what Xia Guan said? ”

"Not only is it wrong, it's a big mistake. In Ben Hou's opinion, Lord Qin said it very high-soundingly, but in fact, he was hiding his true heart. ”

"Where did Xing Hou start with this?" Qin Ming is also an important minister in the court, and it is really embarrassing to be stabbed by a young junior in public. But the other party is the Marquis of Xing, whose title is higher than him, and he has always thought that he is reasonable.

Xing Hou walked to An Sui's side and said slowly, "Actually, Lord Qin mentioned that Lord An should not accompany you to Lin Yuan, in fact, it is not because there is anything wrong with Lord An's behavior, but because the person who the emperor summoned to accompany you is not Lord Qin, but a new official whose qualifications cannot be compared with you, Lord Qin. If the person who was summoned to accompany you was Lord Qin, would you refuse? I'm afraid not! ”

"You ......" Qin Ming frowned and said proudly, "As a big husband, if this official is called to accompany him, it will naturally be a great honor." However, Lord An is a female official, but the emperor only took her alone, and there is a difference between men and women, which is really inappropriate. The lower officials are for the sake of the emperor's reputation, not for the sake of personal grudges. ”

Xing Hou seemed to have heard some big joke, "Lord Qin, Lord Qin, you keep saying that it is for the good of the emperor, and you look like a minister who wants to die for the king, but you don't allow others to do their best for the king." Ben Hou asks you, is it more important to distinguish between men and women, or is the distinction between kings and ministers more important? ”

"This ......"

Xing Hou didn't give him a chance to explain, "The first emperor and the emperor re-established the female official system of the previous dynasty, just so that talented people in the country, regardless of gender, can do their best for the country." But you are here to keep mentioning the distinction between men and women, where do you want to put the emperor's wise decision? Where do you want to put the first emperor? It doesn't feel appropriate to let a female official accompany you, are you doubting the emperor's sage? ”

The hats were buttoned down one after another, and Qin Ming was obviously a little overwhelmed. Xing Hou's eyes turned and swept towards the officials who were watching the excitement, "Why, you are also like Lord Qin, questioning the emperor's decision?" Or do you dare to write this matter to the emperor and let the emperor give you an explanation? ”

Those officials hurriedly shook their heads, "The lower officials don't dare!" ”

Immediately after that, he immediately retired and left, Qin Ming was obviously very embarrassed, and in the end he could only hate and say, "The lower officials don't dare!" ”

"Don't you dare, don't you want to leave?" Xing Hou said sharply, "What is the pestle doing here, drinking the northwest wind?" ”

"Yes, the lower official will retire!"

Before Qin Ming left, he didn't forget to raise his eyes and glanced at An Sui with hatred.

Xing Hou waited for Qin Ming to walk away, then turned around and glanced at An Sui, and then laughed loudly, An Sui also seemed to be infected by him, and smiled slightly, "Thank you Hou Ye for breaking the siege." ”

"Eh, don't thank Ben Hou, Ben Hou has also been unhappy with him for a long time, and he has nothing to do with it, relying on the old and selling the old in front of Ben Hou, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Today, I also used your business to train him well, so that he knows how to converge, don't hang around with a little age and bite people indiscriminately! ”

An Sui smiled, "Anyway, thank you Master Hou." ”

"It's okay, are you going to leave the palace? Then hurry back! Benhou has drunk enough wine, and it's time to go back and rest. Xing Hou straightened up, "Let's go!" ”

An Sui bowed behind him and said, "Congratulations to Xing Hou!" ”

The events of the night of the night banquet of the hundred officials soon spread throughout the harem and the previous dynasty, and people began to speculate about the relationship between An Sui and the current saint.

There were also some gossips on the day An Sui went to Qian Mansion, and after that, An Sui shirked Qian Fu's invitation. In the past, some officials still wanted to come to the door to propose marriage, but all of them died down.

If this An Sui is really a little bit with the emperor today, who dares to marry the emperor's woman home, this An Sui has nothing with the current emperor, and the woman who can pass on something to the man next to him is really not in line with the so-called "women's morality", no matter which of the above situations, An Sui has become a woman who is not suitable for marrying home.

And although Qin Ming didn't openly make things difficult for her, he also sneered at her.

It's only been a few months since he entered the court, and he has already offended people, An Sui secretly sighed, sure enough, the previous dynasty and the harem are the same difficult places to deal with. In the harem, he is still the master of ceremonies, and he walks in front of the palace all day long, and everyone in the harem will be more or less afraid. However, in the previous dynasty, this set of rules no longer applied.

Yan Zhe looked at An Sui's preliminary idea of commercial household registration management, and re-established a set of merchant household registration management system based on the Displaced Citizens Law, coupled with the control and grasp of taxation.

Yan Zhe raised his eyes to look at An Sui, feeling a little pity in his heart, he admired An Sui very much, but why did An Sui have to be involved with the emperor. Originally, he was still a little selfish in his heart, and wanted to give her a dowry for his nephew.

Yan Zhegu shook his head and carefully examined the plan in his hand again.

An Sui said to the officials at all levels of the household department, "This is also the preliminary plan that the lower officials have been thinking about for a long time, this plan is not perfect, as far as the lower officials themselves are concerned, there are two drawbacks. One is that the household registration of the Migrant Citizens Law is not actually a real household registration management system, so the plan based on this still has a little bit of zài, how to accurately record the flow of household registration of merchants. The second is that because there are many types of merchants, there must be a standard for different types of merchants, how to measure their income and transactions, which involves the issue of taxation. Xia Guan is also the first time to come into contact with the affairs of the household department, so there are many things that he can't understand. I also hope that you will be able to teach us! ”

The officials of the household department also nodded after reading An Sui's plan, "It is true that the overall idea of this plan is good, but there are also certain drawbacks, in addition to what you just said, there is another point. In the past, commerce was not classified as one of the legitimate livelihoods of the people, so there were not too many merchants engaged in it, and from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the household registration methods of each dynasty were also limited. If the emperor meant that commerce would be included in the legitimate livelihood of the people, once the number of people engaged in commerce increased in the future, the law of displaced people would show its inadequacy. ”

Another official also said, "That's true. If the change in household registration management is too large, it will also be a troublesome matter, and the implementation process of the whole country will not be very large. ”

Suddenly, an official walked in, and An Sui looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Xia Guan thinks there is another way to solve this matter!"

An Sui looked at him, and Lord Liu of the household department got up and said, "Lord An, you may not have seen it before, this is our household department's outsider, Yin Qingcheng Yin. ”

An Sui looked at him carefully, if it weren't for Gongsun Luo, she really couldn't see that there would be such a decadent past in him.

"Lord Yin, I've admired my name for a long time!"

Yin Qingcheng bowed slightly, "Don't dare, but the lower officials have admired Master An for a long time." ”
