Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Fires for New Officials to Take Office

The Ministry of Rites sneered and said, "I don't know who is the retribution of whom!" ”

"Really?" Qin Ming leaned back in his chair and said:

"By the way, did your adult's son send him to the border yesterday? Tsk, Ling Gongzi's fine skin and tender flesh don't know how long it can last at the border, which makes people feel distressed. ”

Shang Shu's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't bother you!" ”

"How can I not bother, I am your subordinate and care about the affairs of the chief, as it should be." Qin Ming said with a smile.

This look, no matter how you look at it, is a disaster.

Shang Shu snorted and said, "Come on, take Qin Ming to the host and guest division to familiarize yourself." Qin Ming, I hope you will take over the affairs of the host and guest department as soon as possible, and don't let the emperor and the official down! ”

"That's natural, and it will definitely not disappoint the emperor. But you, my lord, are going to be disappointed. Qin Ming smiled strangely and got up to leave.

Lord Zhou's eyes narrowed, and his face was dripping.

On the left, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites said: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, now this kid is in our Ministry of Rites, isn't it our share of cleaning up?" No matter how crazy he is, we also have a chance to clean him up! ”

The right squire also said: "Yes, this kid fell into our hands, I'm afraid the eldest princess will also signal us to clean him up." ”

Below, the Ministry of Rites, the Ancestral Department and the Catering Department all nodded, indicating that they would help Lord Shangshu clean up Qin Ming together.

Qin Ming followed the host and guest secretary Wai Lang to the office of the host and guest division, and then entered the hall of the host and guest division and sat down.

He glanced at the host and guest clerk Wailang, although this Wailang from the fifth grade was Qin Ming's deputy, but looking at his expression, he knew that this guy was not convinced by Qin Ming.

Qin Ming didn't care whether he was convinced or not, so he said: "Call all the officials such as the host and guest department and the secretary general." ”

Although the foreigner was not satisfied, he did not wait or disobey the order, so he could only do it.

After a while, more than a dozen officials of the main and guest divisions in the hall were all in place, and Qin Ming sat on top and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first official Langzhong, the host and guest department do not know a little about things, I hope you will help, if there is any neglect, this official, there is no ambiguity!"

The new official has three fires in office, and he must burn them, not to mention that these guys are not convinced of themselves.

They all knew that Qin Ming had a grudge against Lord Zhou, the boss of the Ministry of Rites, which of these officials of the Ministry of Rites dared to show the slightest kindness to Qin Ming?

People are realistic, and they all know that in this Ministry of Rites, Qin Ming will be finished sooner or later, so they are just nodding perfunctorily.

Seeing their attitude, Qin Ming sneered in his heart.

First of all, Shangshu Shilang and these chiefs gave themselves a horse, and now even these officials also give themselves a horse, it seems that it will not be too easy for them to be on duty in this host and guest division.

Qin Ming glanced at everyone and said, "The work that you are responsible for is still the same. Wai Lang, start preparing for the reception of the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, according to the previous specifications.

Principal, pay attention to the approximate time of the envoys of the Xia Kingdom coming to the imperial capital at any time, and strive to receive them as soon as they arrive in the imperial capital. Don't be lazy, let people mistakenly think that I don't know how to count etiquette. ”

The clerk and the principal said casually, a little disdainful.

Qin Ming didn't care either, and said, "Everyone follow the steps, let's all step down!" ”

Everyone retreated, not even doing the etiquette of saluting and leaving, obviously not taking Qin Ming in their eyes.

Qin Ming couldn't bear it anymore, slapped it on the table suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Stop!" ”

More than a dozen officials were stunned, and then they all looked back at Qin Ming suspiciously.

Qin Ming's eyes were cold, and he stood up and said:

"You, as a serving official, are so rude in charge of the ceremonial department in this hall. In your eyes, do you still understand the rules? Do you know etiquette? But is there a difference between superiors and subordinates? ”

Wailang frowned and said, "My lord, you don't have to be so serious! ”

"If you are not convinced, you will go to the squire to impeach this official. But before you go, the official has to teach you what rules and etiquette are! ”

Qin Ming's voice fell, and he shouted: "Someone!" ”

When he boarded, more than a dozen messengers rushed in.

Seeing that Qin Ming was serious, the outsider immediately said angrily:

"Qin Ming, you don't have to inch in, this Ministry of Rites, it is Lord Shangshu who has the final say, you dare to touch us, Lord Shangshu makes you look good."

Qin Ming said with a cold face: "In this host and guest division, it is Lao Tzu Qin Ming who has the final say, if you don't salute Lao Tzu today, Lao Tzu will treat you for the crime of disrespecting the official, and the board will always be beaten."

Also, you don't use Shangshu to press me. This matter is to the emperor, and his old man will only think that I have done the right thing. If you don't believe me, you can try. ”

This subordinate and the principal are afraid, after all, this Qin Ming is the main guest of the emperor's personal seal.

Moreover, he also handed over the matter of negotiation with the envoy to him.

In addition, he really has a way to solve the problem of famine among the victims, and the position of the horse master is basically gone.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed not wise to go against him.

After thinking about it, the principal still felt that he should not offend Qin Ming.

So he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The lower official knows his mistake, please Lord Haihan." ”

Behind him, more than a dozen officials also bowed down and said in unison: "The lower officials know their mistakes, please Lord Haihan." ”

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Remember, this is the Ministry of Rites, if there is no etiquette in the Ministry of Rites, how can there be etiquette in this world?" ”

"Lower officials and others should remember the Church of the Lords." The principal and a dozen officials hurriedly said.

From beginning to end, the staff stood still, even twisting his head to the side, and still seemed to be disdainful.

He is from the fifth grade, a little lower than Qin Ming, and is Qin Ming's deputy.

This foreigner is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, which is also young, and he has a background in his family.

So he was confident that even if he didn't bow his head, Qin Ming wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

At this time, Qin Ming spoke again: "You wait to retreat, let's get busy." ”

More than a dozen officials such as the chief bowed down one after another: "The next official retires!" ”

Wailang was about to leave, but Qin Ming said lightly: "Wailang, did the official let you go?" ”

The staff turned around and sneered: "Don't let me go, then my lord, do you still want to stay with the official to drink tea?" ”

Qin Ming frowned: "You have no superior, you are rude to this official, this official will treat you for a rude crime, come to someone, drag it down, and beat twenty boards!" ”

Wailang was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Ming to dare to punish him.

But the next moment he laughed, because of this host and guest, who would dare to hit him?

In fact, it is true that those poor people are all looking at each other at the moment, and no one dares to come up and beat the outsider.

The outsider laughed and said, "My lord, if you want to beat the official, someone must dare to beat it." Why, with chicken feathers as an arrow, you really take yourself seriously? I don't look at how many pounds and taels I have......"

Qin Ming looked at those poor people and said, "You don't dare to fight? ”

Those poor people all lowered their heads, and they really didn't dare to fight.

Qin Ming walked out from behind the table, rolled up the wide sleeves of his official uniform, and took the wooden stick from a messenger.

Immediately, a pair of eyes looked coldly at the outsider, and said coldly:

"They don't dare, but the officials dare. Today, this official will let you understand what is the majesty of the upper official and what is the etiquette of the lower official! ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Ming raised his stick and slapped it on the ass of the outsider!
