After leaving the emperor and returning to the mansion, Qin Ming felt that his opportunity to do great things had finally come.

In the past, in order to save his life, now his life has been saved, and the position of the colt is 100%.

And now the emperor trusts him very much, appreciates him very much, and arranges an official position for him.

In this way, he can make a big difference.

If he fights with the eldest princess and the second princess, he can start to form his own forces.

Thinking of his monarch system, Qin Ming couldn't help but smile.

This emperor now doesn't want his two daughters to compete for the throne, and what he says is theirs for them.

Hearing this, he wanted to give the throne to one of the two daughters, but not now, and he didn't want to see them fight.

But he didn't know that Qin Ming, his son-in-law, was the biggest contender for the throne.

Who let him have a kingship system, this thing is to help him be a king.

With the Praetorian Guards guarding, the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the house are extremely safe, and Qin Ming is not worried about anyone coming to make trouble.

And Qin Ming also gave part of the 1,000 taels of silver rewarded by the emperor to the old housekeeper, and asked him to purchase some things that the house needed.

Especially the food and supplies, etc., to ensure that from now on, the maids and servants in the house will have a full meal.

With this silver subsidizing the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion, which has been depressed for more than a year, finally has the appearance of a wealthy family again.

The old housekeeper and his subordinates were all excited and tearful, especially the old housekeeper, who cried in front of Qin Ming.

"Young master, since the death of Master Hou, we only have this mansion and some fields left, and we are very depressed. Now, you are finally fighting for your strength, and this Hou Mansion is going to be brilliant again......"

Qin Ming also sighed a little, the title of Qin Ming's father, Marquis Qingwu, in this world, is not hereditary.

So Hou Ye died, and his son was just an ordinary person.

But the family business is still there, but the Hou Mansion can no longer be called the Hou Mansion.

So Qin Ming said: "Old housekeeper, take down the four-character plaque of the Qingwu Marquis Mansion outside the door." ”

The old housekeeper was stunned and took it off? This symbolizes the honor of the Qin family.

"Young Master, this ......"

"Take it down, spend money to get a new plaque, mention, Qin Mansion!"

The old housekeeper had no choice but to do it, while Qin Ming went to sleep.

Early the next morning, a little eunuch came to Qin Ming's house and gave him a set of official uniforms, which were five-grade blue official robes with white bird complements on his chest.

Qin Ming immediately changed into his official uniform with the help of the maid Xiaoyu.

Immediately, several family members carried a sedan chair and sent Qin Ming to the palace to participate in the early dynasty.

As a five-grade official, the early dynasty must be on the list.

Entered the palace and arrived at the Jinluan Palace.

At this moment, the civil and military officials have basically arrived, Qin Ming looked at the position.

He is the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, and he has to stand in the position of a five-grade official.

Ignoring the shocked gazes of all the officials, Qin Ming went directly to the official in the same official uniform as himself and stood next to him, squeezing the six-rank officials who were originally standing here back.

So all the officials in the back could only move their positions, and it seemed a little noisy for a while.

Many people looked at Qin Ming helplessly, this guy made a move as soon as he came.

Of course, more people are still puzzled, this product actually wore a five-grade official uniform to the court, is it an official?

This is a big thing, from an ordinary person to a fifth-grade official in one step, this is very rare, almost nothing.

Even Zhang Chong, a ranger general with military exploits, was only from the fifth grade, and his grade was slightly lower than Qin Ming's positive fifth grade.

Therefore, when he saw Qin Ming wearing a blue and blue official uniform with a white pheasant, Zhang Chong, who was standing in the ranks of military generals, was itching with jealousy.

Similarly, in the ranks of civil officials, the envy of being a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also from the fifth grade, which is also a little lower than Qin Ming, so he is very envious and jealous.

Both of them are not convinced, even if Qin Ming is an official, why is he a fifth-grade official?

Of course, what if you are not convinced?

At the front of the civil officials, the eldest princess standing on the side frowned thoughtfully.

After a short time, the emperor arrived, and hundreds of officials bowed down and shouted long live.

Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair and let Zhong Aiqing calm down, and then asked Zhong Aiqing what he wanted to play.

Suddenly, the ministers opened their mouths one after another, and said what they were going to play, the emperor and peace. The ministers also began to discuss.

About an hour later, the general matter was almost discussed, and Qin Ming felt a little bored when he heard it.

At this moment, Lord Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly came out of the queue and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has received news that the envoys of the Xia Kingdom will enter the imperial capital in a few days, and the ministers must ask Your Majesty for instructions on this reception."

The Emperor nodded: "Well, I have already thought about this matter. The soldiers and horses of the Xia State are weaker than our Chu State, and they have always offered silver and silk every year to maintain good relations between the two countries.

However, this time, I have also heard that the envoy seems to be intent on reducing the annual tribute. If this kind of thing is discussed well, it is easy for the two countries to become hostile, and if they meet again, it will not be very good for both countries.

Therefore, we must be cautious in receiving the envoys of the Xia Kingdom this time, including talking to them about paying tribute. My Chu State can neither retreat, but neither can I make enemies with the Xia State. ”

This matter gave him a headache when he heard this, no wonder the Ministry of Rites Shangshu wanted to say it, obviously he also felt troublesome.

But Qin Ming doesn't care, isn't he just talking about tribute? It's no different from haggling for groceries.

So the emperor said: "After my consideration, this time, I specially sealed Qin Ming as the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites." I decided to leave the matter of receiving the envoys of the Xia State and discussing the matter of paying tribute with the envoys of the Xia State to Qin Ming. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked!

The reception of foreign envoys should be entrusted to the host and guest Shiro, after all, this department is what it does.

But to talk about paying tribute to foreign envoys, which is related to national interests and even war, is also handed over to the new officials who know the five grades?

Is this a joke?

Immediately, Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Rites spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate!" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites also spoke: "Your Majesty, how can such a major matter be handed over to a Langzhong?" ”

At the same time, the right prime minister also spoke: "Minister, I also think this matter is ......."

"That's it!"

The emperor opened his mouth majestically and said, "These days, with my understanding of Qin Aiqing, I absolutely believe that he can do a good job, this is my decision, there is no need to say more!" ”

The Son of Heaven said that no one could change it.

The ministers could only be helpless.

And Qin Ming was out of the ranks, and said calmly: "The minister must live up to his mission!" ”

……

After retreating, the Ministry of Rites.

In the main hall, the Rite Department Shangshu sits above, and the left and right Rite Attendants sit on both sides.

On both sides below sat the four Shilang, including Qin Ming.

The Ministry of Rites' face was gloomy, and his eyes fell on Qin Ming, eager to devour Qin Ming alive.

Yesterday his son was assigned, and today Qin Ming became his subordinate, he thought in his heart, this is really fate.

"I didn't expect it, Qin Langzhong, now, you are under the control of the official." Zhou Shangshu said coldly.

Qin Ming grinned and said, "Yes, Lord Zhou, this hundred should have fruition, and your retribution is me!" ”
