Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Divine Decree
"Gonggong Li, are you looking for me in Jinling this time?"
Qin Duan asked in great surprise, you must know that compared to this celebrant eunuch Li Yongzhen, Qin Duan is a small person in front of others, who is qualified to let him come here from the capital thousands of miles away, just to find himself.
"Qin Gongzi's talent, our factory is very appreciative, the factory worker has praised you in front of us more than once, this time the factory man saw the Zhennan Wang's recommendation of your performance, very important, specially let our family to invite the son to Beijing to face the saint, Qin Gongzi, our factory father attaches great importance to you, I have been by the factory for decades, and it is the first time to see the factory man so thirsty." Li Yongzhen looked at Qin Du and said.
Li Yongzhen told the truth, although Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang and Jinyiwei's strength are very strong, there are not many real talents, especially in the outer court, the officials in the court basically obey the cabinet, and there are very few people who belong to Wei Zhongxian's camp, and they are all in a very important position, which makes Wei Zhongxian very anxious to have his own voice in the outer court.
But being an official in the imperial court is not like Dongchang and Jinyiwei, there are no major requirements, as long as it is a healthy person. Being an official in the court is talented and capable, otherwise, those officials born in the literati are not convinced, and they are untenable in the court, so for Wei Zhongxian, what is lacking now is this kind of talented talent.
It's just that the talented literati of the Great Qin Dynasty have a stinky temper, in elegant words, they have backbone, backbone, self-pretentiousness, and can't see ordinary people clearly, let alone eunuchs who are neither male nor female, and they disdain to cooperate with eunuchs, and the more talented people are, the more disdainful they are to be with eunuchs.
This time, the king of Zhennan recommended Qin Du to be the county order that was really lacking, but it alarmed the eldest princess, the crown prince, the Duke of Wei, and the cabinet elders.
Because of the two lyrics of Qin Duan, "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea" can now be said to have spread in the capital, and people can be heard singing these two tunes at any time in the streets and alleys, which have become the most popular lyrics in the Great Qin Dynasty for a hundred years.
Qin Dui's name, along with these two songs, made the dignitaries in the capital, and even the emperor know, so when he saw that the king of Zhennan asked for Qin Dui to seek an official position, it spread quickly in the court.
Many people were shocked, everyone felt that it was a step too late, let the king of Zhennan take the lead, if this great talent was put into the power of the king of Zhennan, the king of Zhennan would be like a tiger, which also made many people in the court uneasy.
Like the eldest princess Zhao Zirou is the most uncomfortable, originally the eldest princess wanted to recruit Qin Duan to be a staff member in her eldest princess's mansion, but there were many things, and this matter was done late, but she didn't expect to let the king of Zhennan take the lead, and the angry eldest princess smashed her favorite porcelain.
Compared with others, Wei Zhongxian did not give up, in Wei Zhongxian's view, the king of Zhennan is just a prince, and he can't give Qin Du's high-ranking officials Houlu, just take this official position, the king of Zhennan has no right to appoint, and he needs to ask the court for approval, and the court will appoint him, if the court does not give face to the king of Zhennan and does not agree to give Qin Dushi the lack of county orders, the king of Zhennan has no choice.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian decided to send Corporal Lixian to Jinling to invite Qin Du to Beijing, preparing to win over Qin Du to work for himself.
For this reason, Wei Zhongxian also specially asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse for a holy decree to summon Qin Dui into the capital to face the saint, because he was afraid that Qin Duan would not give himself face and would not come to the capital.
As long as Qin Duan came to the capital and lived in his own Wei Mansion, at that time, he Qin Dui's body would be marked as a person from Dongchang, and it would be impossible for other factions in the imperial court to accept him anymore, if he wanted to be an official, he could only rely on himself.
Although this is a bit unauthentic, but now Wei Zhongxian, who wants to be crazy about talents, doesn't care about this, for Wei Zhongxian, as long as this Qin Duan can follow him and do things for himself, nothing else matters.
In order to show his sincerity, he specially sent his cronie Li Yongzhen to Jinling with hundreds of Dongchang factory guards to pick up Qin Du to Beijing.
said that it was to pick up Qin Du and escort him all the way, but in fact it was just a disguised escort to Beijing, this was Wei Zhongxian who was afraid that Qin Du would go to Beijing, so he didn't go to his Wei Mansion at the first time, but was pulled away by people from other forces in the court.
"How can he be in Xia, how can he make Wei Gong worry." Qin Duan said flatteredly.
"By the way, patronizing and being happy, forgetting the business, Qin Dui received the holy decree." Li Yongzhen took the holy decree from a young eunuch beside him and said to Qin Duan.
"Grass people Qin Dusk bow down and listen to the holy words!" Qin Du knelt down and said respectfully.
"Zhao Yingwu, the king of Zhennan, bowed to listen to the holy decree!" King Zhennan also knelt down and said.
Qin Duan has no official position, so when receiving the holy decree, he must call himself a grass citizen, when receiving the holy decree, people must kneel on the ground, lean on the ground, lower their heads, and look at the ground with their eyes, so as to show respect for the emperor, Qin Duan has already understood these in history books when he was in college, in fact, he doesn't need to read history books, just watch historical TV series, how the actors in it receive the holy decree, just like them, there is nothing wrong.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I have heard that Qin Dui, the talented son of Kurihara, is smart and intelligent, and has a great talent for governing the country, and he specially ordered Qin Dui to enter Beijing on the same day, and there must be no mistake, Qin this." Li Yongzhen read the sermon with the holy decree.
The first time Qin Duan received the holy decree, it was a little fresh, and he forgot to receive the holy decree for a while.
"Qin Gongzi, Qin Gongzi." Li Yongzhen saw that Qin Duan was still kneeling stupidly, so he opened his mouth and shouted.
"Ah~" Qin Dui came back to his senses.
"It's time to receive the decree." Li Yongzhen reminded.
"The grass people receive the order, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Qin Duan knelt down to receive the holy decree, held the holy decree above his head with both hands, and knelt and shouted.
"Okay, Qin Gongzi, please get up." Li Yongzhen said to Qin Du.
"Thank you Father-in-law Li, for your hard work, so many miles to come all the way to preach the holy decree to me, this makes me really unhappy, this is a little heart, Father-in-law Li, please accept it."
Qin Duan took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels from his arms, stuffed it into Li Yongzhen's hand and said, Qin Duan remembered that after the eunuchs on TV in his previous life announced the holy decree, the people who received the decree would stuff the eunuchs with some silver taels to please these people around the emperor.
Of course, no one gave them silver to proclaim the holy decrees of raiding the house, destroying the door, and giving death.
"Qin Gongzi, you must not be like this, if you let the factory know that our family has received your money, you will not be punished by the factory when you go back, Qin Gongzi, you quickly take back the silver ticket."
Li Yongzhen hurriedly pushed Qin Dui's silver ticket back, joking, this Qin Dui is the person that the factory duke has taken a fancy to, and he is the person that the factory duke must woo, and the factory duke can't wait to give him money, if the factory duke knows that he has received Qin Dui's silver, although he will not be punished by the factory duke, but a scolding is certain, and he will be looked down upon by the factory duke.
"Father-in-law Li, this is a piece of my heart, you must accept it."
Qin Du said, where is the reason to take back the gift that was given, besides, this time I went to the capital with this Gonggong Li, and I had to rely on this Gonggong Li along the way.
Besides, Qin Duan didn't know anything about the situation in the capital, and he didn't know how deep the water in the capital was, and there were still many places in the capital, so he might have to consult this Gonggong Li, so it was very important to have a good relationship with this Gonggong Li.
Qin Duan remembered reading a book that said that eunuchs could not enjoy the pleasure of men and women because they did not have men, so nine of the ten eunuchs loved yellow and white things, that is, gold and silver, as commonly known as silver.
In fact, in the capital, there are still people in Qin Du, that is, Qin Duan's father-in-law Mu Shangde, who has never met a few times, and the official worships the servant of the Ministry of Officials.
It's just that Qin Dui doesn't have a good impression of this father-in-law, of course, Qin Dui, the father-in-law, doesn't have a good impression of Qin Dui, and he thought about how to let his daughter break off the marriage contract with Qin Dui a long time ago, and let his brother-in-law's son marry his daughter.
So when Qin Duan went to the capital, he didn't think about visiting him first, nor did he think about asking him to help him, Qin Duan didn't want to be a son-in-law with no social status.
"Qin Gongzi, you don't have to be polite to me, we have a chance in the future, if you look up to our family, take back the silver ticket." Li Yongzhen said.
It's not that Li Yongzhen doesn't like silver, but he can't accept Qin Dui's silver, before coming to Jinling, the factory duke has repeatedly explained that he wants to treat Qin Dui politely, so that Qin Dui can feel the sincerity of Dongchang, so this silver ticket can't be accepted.
"Okay then."
Qin Duan reluctantly took back the silver ticket, since this Gonggong Li does not accept his own silver ticket, then after going back, let the red sleeves prepare some perfume for this Gonggong Li, anyway, this gift must be given.
There is a saying, "Eat other people's mouth is short, take other people's hands short." As long as this Gonggong Li receives his own gifts, he will do himself some favors or help himself say a few good words, and the worst thing will not be bad for him behind his back.
"Gongzi Qin, when will you be able to go to the capital with us, the emperor and Gonggong Wei are waiting for you." Li Yongzhen asked.
"Father-in-law Li, isn't it about to be the New Year? Kurihara Mu's family is still waiting for me to go home and get married. ”
Qin Duan said with some embarrassment, it's almost the New Year, Qin Duan really doesn't want to go to the capital at this time, it's best to go to the capital after the New Year.
"Gongzi Qin, I'm afraid this won't work, it's not that our family doesn't give Gongzi Qin this face, it's really embarrassing, the emperor is in a hurry to see you, what is more urgent than the emperor's affairs."
Li Yongzhen said that when he came, the factory man had explained that after seeing Qin Dui, he would do his best to bring him to Beijing, so as not to have a long night and dreams, and be intercepted by others first, so in this matter. Li Yongzhen will not agree.
