At this time, in the lobby of the Imperial Servant Bureau, only Bekotov and his five subordinate "Xiao Cavalry School" remained, as well as Hongyi and his personal people: Liang Gong, the eunuch in charge of the second of the five Qiandong Institutes, and Mara, the second-class guard of the Sipin Imperial Palace.

To tell the truth, except for Hongyi and Yuri, the rest of the people can be described as cloudy and foggy about the nonsense just now, but everyone has a common understanding in their hearts: the master will never be idle and do some idle things, because this master will not and cannot be a demon, but he is not an ordinary three-year-old child, and he will never speak and act in a disorderly manner. Therefore, everyone is vigilant for twelve points, waiting for the "master" to open.

Looking around at these own people around him, or according to the current "system", he called his own "minions", Hongyi swept everyone's faces with a gentle gaze, and grinned from time to time, even Liang Gong and Mara who were standing behind him. This can make everyone more sure: the master has something to explain.

Sure enough, after the inspection, Hongyi spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said this opening sentence, and everyone bowed down in unison, and almost kowtowed. Hongyi ignored them and continued: "Today's matter, I actually want to discuss some details with the backbone of your Alba Niulu, but the matter of the joint name of Lord Shicai Du is not ordinary, although it is a temporary idea, but it is also extraordinary, so I must be patient to deal with it before I can discuss it with you." ”

"Lord Belle, how dare the minions accept your title of 'everyone'? How dare they 'deliberate' in front of you? It's all up to the master! Mara, the highest-ranking Mara, hurriedly dodged in front of Hongyi and knelt down on one knee to report it.

"yes. Master, the minions don't dare. Bekotov hurriedly led the rest of the people to kneel on one knee and recite the master, and even Liang Gong, who Hongyi couldn't see, was busy kneeling down.

"Everyone," Hongyi continued to use this very "equal" rhetoric according to his own wishes, "all get up and speak first." Mara and Liang Gong are by my side day and night, and the way of nature is not a person who is a master and a slave who talks about it all day long and is anxious in my heart. In name, he is a master and servant, but in fact, he is in the field. We share weal and sorrow together, and we share prosperity together. ”

Hongyi paused. Finding that none of the people dared to really get up, it was also the right thing, so he continued:

"Especially you, Alba Niulu, have traveled thousands of miles to vote for the Qing Dynasty. and under my command on an errand. To use an old saying. The so-called solidarity. In the language of Orthodoxy. It is a gift from God. In the future, there will be no outsiders, so you can relax a little and don't have to be limited by etiquette. Get up! ”

This time. The master had said all that, and Mara and Bekotov had to take the lead in giving a salute, and then stood up again.

"But we can't break the rules." Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone got up, the master suddenly came to this latter sentence, which made everyone panic, and knelt down again - what's wrong with the little guy This is, just said "informal", and then came to "don't mess with the rules", but what does it mean?

Hongyi was not in a hurry or impatient, and slowly said to the "own people" who knelt on the ground, "I only have two rules: first, just talk about things, don't deceive me." You don't think I'm really a demon, but you should also understand that I'm not an ignorant child who eats milk. In the future, we need to act according to the facts, and we must not make half a false statement. ”

"Huh!" The crowd knelt there and hastened to answer.

"This second one, it's very simple. I will be of great use to you in the future, for you are my right and right hands, my right and right eyes, and my brothers and sisters. However, if you think that you have a close relationship with me, and you have a little bit of bullying against the officials of the current dynasty, ordinary banner people, or ordinary people, or even untouchables of the three religions and nine ranks, don't let me know the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! Hongyi suddenly stared viciously below, and his tone was raised an octave.

"Huh!" Everyone can only answer like this, and they definitely dare not hesitate for a moment.

Hongyi has always had a natural uneasiness and distrust of the people close to him under this system, not because he was afraid that they would be bullied in the future, but because he was worried that they would take advantage of others. Once it reaches that point, under the imperial system of government, which lacks an effective, all-round, bottom-up supervision mechanism, the powerful minions are the most hateful and terrible!

In fact, Hongyi also knows that no matter how ruthless he says and how sincere they are, after a few years, he still can't guarantee that someone will forget all about today's events. There is no way, by himself, even if he is a king, he can't supervise his minions around the clock. All this needs to be ensured by an effective system.

"Okay, just remember. Alas? Why are you still kneeling? Didn't you say let you get up? Rise up, everybody, quickly. Hongyi sang with a red and white face, and wanted to show his absolute authority on these people.

Everyone got up from the ground one after another, and each continued to reminisce about the two extraordinary rules just now according to their own understanding.

"Ivan." Hongyi smiled and took the roll call.

"The minions are here!" The most astute descendant of the Ukrainian aristocracy, Mr. Ivan, was busy answering questions. At this moment, the first one was called, and no one knew whether Lu Dao was evil or auspicious.

"You just asked me how I knew everything about Ukraine, your relative, Khmelnitsky, right?" Hongyi didn't mean to blame, and asked gently.

"Master, the slave is reckless, please punish the master!"

The clever Ivan rolled his eyes, as if he had expected this question, his body was as soft as a loach, and his knees were already on the floor tiles before he finished speaking.

"Get up! You didn't ask rashly at all, and you asked very well! But you're kneeling recklessly, don't you know? What I just said, haven't you even taken it to heart? Now that there are no outsiders, how can there be so many courtesies, wouldn't it be a delay in the right business? Hongyi deliberately pretended to be angry, but gave Ivan a hint with his eyes - you hurry up and get me up!

"Whew, the minion was wrong! The minions don't dare anymore! Ivan also got up with a hippie smile.

"Ivan, if you hadn't asked this question, how could you have made Master Du willing to take the lead for me? So good to ask! Hongyi nodded with satisfaction, "But I haven't given you the answer to your question yet." Don't you want to know the Tao? Or do you really think I'm a demon, or a medieval witch reincarnated? ”

"No, no, how can you be a demon, let alone a witch. I said to Father Sergei that you must be a reincarnated saint who can connect directly with God and lead us in God's ways. Isn't it, Father Sergei? Ivan did not forget to pull on the back of the most loyal Sergei.

"Uh, yes, master. Maybe in a few years, we should put your great achievements on the Orthodox Patriarch and let him give you the title! Sergey, this is from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, two, I don't dare to be a saint. Let's take care of the things in front of you first, maybe you haven't promoted me yet, I've become a heretic in the mouths of those people, and I'll put on the hat of the demon first. If you die in this position, you are really qualified to be a so-called 'saint' of your religion! ”

Hongyi said, as the look in his eyes reminded Sergei. The faithful priest bowed his head in shame. Why? Because a living person cannot be an Orthodox or Catholic "saint"!

The so-called "saint" is the honorific title given by the Orthodox Church to the "deceased" Orthodox Christians, which refers to Orthodox Christians who have been officially recognized as having made outstanding contributions to the country and the Church, and who are holy in character and devout in faith. It is said that the reason why they are so noble is because they have a close relationship with God and have divine powers bestowed by God. The Russian Orthodox Church portrays the saints as the embodiment of devotion to duty, to the Motherland, to the people.

But the premise must be that the saints are dead! Could it be that you cursed me to die early?

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea
