The next day, Chen Xiao obediently arrived at the main hall of the early dynasty.

As soon as they entered the main hall, countless officials immediately cast all kinds of eyes.

Most of them, with fear in their eyes.

Word of yesterday afternoon's events has spread.

More than 200 people died in a huge household!

This is equivalent to killing all the officials of a ministry.

Yesterday, outside the gate of that household, there were mountains of corpses, piled up in countless places.

The blood stained the door of the household red, and the corruption of these years was completely washed away with blood and water!

Hundreds of people were scared and happy at the same time.

Countless officials, both scared and ...... Afraid......

Now, this culprit has come to the main hall, and naturally, everyone is looking at him in fear!

Of course, there are also many people who cast hateful eyes on him.

The reason is very simple!

Because, Chen Xiao killed so many officials in the household department, and it was true that he also cut off the corruption of some officials.

You must know that household corruption can be divided into internal corruption and external corruption.

For example, some household officials in Chen Xiao's possession would embezzle some money with external officials when they allocated any public funds to external officials.

Although no household official is so frustrated, it can be regarded as a benefit!

Chen Xiao cleaned up all these people because of corruption, which is equivalent to cutting off the financial channels of many other officials.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for everyone to look at him unpleasantly.

There is another problem, that is, Chen Xiao's killing is absolutely taboo for many officials.

Everyone is an official, who treats a person who kills hundreds of officials in a day?

What if that day kills everyone present?

Therefore, invisibly, Chen Xiao has set up many enemies and antagonists for himself.

Of course, Chen Xiao himself doesn't care about this!

swaggered up to the court.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone, presumably, have all heard of Chen Xiao's feat yesterday?" ”

"Uh...... Haha, I heard that Lord Chen is really amazing, in the afternoon, he actually calculated all the accounts of the household department, admiration and admiration! One of the servants spoke.

Although it sounds like a compliment, it can ...... Chen Xiao felt that it was somewhat perfunctory!

In the same perfunctory, there were some other officials who spoke one after another.

"Lord Chen is so young, he is really talented, solving cases and investigating corruption, so powerful, admirable!"

"That's it, Lord Chen killed decisively, in one afternoon, killed hundreds of people, that really didn't blink an eye!"

"What's more, Lord Chen kills people by himself, and it's not the same as not blinking?"

Listening to these words, Chen Xiao just smiled without smiling.

The emperor waved his hand, and after everyone was quiet, he said: "Chen Xiao has made great contributions to investigating and dealing with corruption, and I have decided to promote him." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, Lord Chen is a talent, a mere six-grade official, and he is really talented!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu spoke.

A university scholar also said: "Chen Da is amazingly talented and not bad, and he really deserves to be promoted." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also smiled and said, "This official also thinks that Lord Chen should be promoted!" ”

The emperor looked at the Ministry of Rites and said, "Oh? Aiqing, do you think it should be promoted? So let's do it, how about transferring Chen Xiao, entering the Ministry of Rites, and being the host and guest? ”

The face of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, my Ministry of Rites ...... There is no shortage of people ......"

"That's it!" The Emperor said:

"The host and guest Si Lang have been empty, and now, it just so happens that the Eagle Country is going to have a prince, so Chen Xiao will be the host and guest Si Lang Zhong and receive it."

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, he almost sat on the ground and cried!

It's not that I don't want the Ministry of Rites to have a host and guest Shilang, but the main thing is that I don't want Chen Xiao to come to the Ministry of Rites.

Yesterday, Chen Xiaocai killed hundreds of people in the household department, and you got him to the Ministry of Rites today?

Iniquity!

Many officials looked at the Ministry of Rites at this moment, and they were full of ridicule.

I thought to myself, who told you to praise Chen Xiao just now?

Now, the Ministry of Rites didn't dare to say anything, the emperor asked Chen Xiao to come to the Ministry of Rites, what could he do?

He just wanted to cry!

However, for other officials, it is a good thing that Chen Xiao went to the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui Yamen, which is in charge of etiquette-related things, and in general, the rights are really not big.

Unlike the Ministry of Households, related to national finances and various things for people's livelihood!

To put it bluntly, in officialdom, it really has little impact on other officials.

"In addition, Zhong Aiqing, this time, the prince of the Eagle Kingdom came to the Dragon Kingdom, the purpose, everyone should also know, as early as a few months ago, he came to the national letter and wanted to propose marriage to my daughter."

As soon as the emperor said this, many people immediately looked at Chen Xiao.

Because, the prince of the Eagle Kingdom wants to propose marriage to the ninth princess.

Thinking about it again, the emperor actually let Chen Xiao receive his rival in love?

This is...... What do you mean?

Everyone couldn't help but guess, did the emperor want the prince of the Eagle Kingdom to dispel Chen Xiao's idea of marrying Long Jiuling, or did he plan to use Chen Xiao to prevent the prince of the Eagle Kingdom from proposing to marry Long Jiuling?

Chen Xiao's face was expressionless.

He doesn't care what kind of prince the other party is, because no matter who it is, don't want to rob a woman with him!

After the early dynasty, Chen Xiao took the official seal and went directly to the Ministry of Rites!

As soon as they stepped into the door of the Ministry of Rites, all the officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly became nervous.

Chen Xiao went all the way to the hall of the Ministry of Rites, and after seeing the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the two waiters, he arched his hand: "Xiaguan has seen three adults!" ”

Where do the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the left and right attendants dare to slacken.

hurriedly gave up their hands one after another, and was quite polite to Chen Xiao!

After all, this person only collapsed the household department yesterday, and His Majesty is still discussing with the prime minister which officials to shoot and go to the household department.

"Chen Langzhong, in the future, the host and guest department will be handed over to you as a good official!" The Ministry of Rites said.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the host and guest division will inevitably be properly managed by the lower officials." ”

The chief official of the Ministry of Rites is Shangshu, and the adjutant is the left and right attendants.

There are four divisions below, namely the Ministry of Rites, the Ancestral Department, the Catering Department, and the Host and Guest Division!

The first three divisions, related to various ceremonial schools, tributes, ceremonies, music, sacrifices, and other things.

Chen Xiao's host and guest division is related to diplomacy.

That is, the equivalent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

In this way, when he goes to other countries and receives envoys from other countries, he is Chen Xiaoguan.

Before, the reception of the king of the southern Xinjiang country was the main and guest department of the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, after Chen Xiao and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said a few words, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asked Chen Xiao to take Chen Xiao to the host and guest division.

After seeing Chen Xiao leave, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This kid, let's try not to mess with it, if there is a moth in the Ministry of Rites, it will be troublesome." ”

"Our Ministry of Rites is the Qingshui Yamen, there is no corruption, and the officials are very idle, so they won't provoke him!" The right squire said.

……

At this moment, after Chen Xiao arrived at the main and guest division, the huge hall of the clothing department was his office space.

Behind a wooden table, a chair rests.

Chen Xiao walked over and sat down, took a deep breath, and thought to himself that the higher this official, the better the treatment.

After sitting for a while, he was going to find out about the situation of the host and guest, so he said:

"Someone!"

The voice fell, and there was no one for a while.

He shouted again: "Someone! ”

However, still no one came!

At this time, Chen Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied!
