"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao has sent back all the gifts sent from various places every day in the past few days, and all the gold and silver sent by the other five departments have been sent to the place by him in the name of various departments, and Lord Xiao's account has not been touched."

For several days, the guards who followed Xiao He's side came to report to Mu Churan in the same way.

Mu Churan patted his forehead, he didn't expect this Xiao He to be so difficult, he just wanted him to understand the true face of officialdom, don't just say some beautiful things on the surface, I didn't expect him to really do it like he said, and show it to himself.

"Leave him alone!" Mu Churan waved his hand, "Don't report these things to me in the future, if there is no major matter, you don't have to keep staring at Lord Xiao in the future." ”

When the new officials take office, it is common sense for various places to give gifts, Xiao He returned all the gifts, that is, he made it clear that he would not help them in any way, and he would not stand in line with them......

What does this Xiao He want to do......

"Poof-" Xiao He pulled open the thick felt cloth on the file, "A small ritual department, there are so many files!" The thick dust choked on tears, "Tong Shilang! ”

"Xia Guan is here. What does Lord Shangshu command? "This newcomer Shangshu has just been promoted and is going to enter the archives to read the files, the files of the Ministry of Rites are cumbersome, the files of the six departments are all put together, plus there are many events accumulated over the years, almost all large and small events have been recorded, and the files in recent years are all mixed together, does this Shangshu Lord want to read it in person?

"How many years have these files been there?"

"Master Hui, here are the files of the past ten years, and they will be cleaned up every ten years or so, and the previous files will be thrown away. These two shelves are the archives of our Ministry of Rites. Tong Shilang secretly pinched his sweat, "Lord Xiao, do you want to read the file?" ”

"Look...... Xiao He took a few steps forward, "Look is a must, but not now." "There must be a record of the turmoil and rebellion in those years, and there must be something in these files that you need.

"Whew-" Tong Shilang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Inform everyone, within two days, these files will be sorted out, and I will look at them again." Xiao He waved his sleeves and left, leaving only Tong Shilang who was stunned by the news.

……

Xiao He was summoned without warning.

"Master Ma has done a good job these days."

I heard that this Xiao He let his subordinates sort out the files for nearly ten years with great fanfare, shocked the six, and let the other Shangshu adults also start to clean up their own files, and he himself looked through the files all day long.

What is the purpose of his entry into the court as an official?

"When the minister first joined the Ministry of Rites, he didn't know the work of the Ministry of Rites, so he could only look at the previous file and learn about it." Xiao He naturally knew what he was referring to, and explained unhurriedly.

"Haha," Mu Churan still had a faint smile on his face, "Tong Shilang has served in the Ministry of Rites for many years, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him." ”

Mu Churan straightened his expression, "Putting aside the relationship between you and me, there is an important matter for me to summon Lord Xiao today. ”

"The ministers obey the emperor's orders." Xiao He bowed deeply.

"Seeing that spring is about to begin, it's time for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the Yin Kingdom's sacrifice ceremony."

The minister immediately went back and began to prepare. The minister retired first. ”

"Xiao Aiqing is slow, this time the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven will be fully sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, if there is anything wrong, I will punish you without affection!" Mu Churan still had a kind smile on his face, but Xiao He faintly felt that there was something hidden in this Mu Churan's eyes?

With such a big battle and mixed personnel, if you have any plans, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Xiao He walked down the street, planning how to let him go.

"Young Master!" A familiar voice sounded in Xiao He's ears, Xiao He was distracted for a while, but he couldn't come back to his senses.

Seeing that Xiao He ignored him, Tie Xin wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, Tie Xin's hand just wanted to get close to Xiao He, Xiao He subconsciously dodged quickly, grabbed Tie Xin's wrist, Tie Xin didn't dare to fight back, and let Xiao He twist his shoulder.

"Master, it's me." Xiao He relieved himself at this time.

"Iron Heart, why don't you call me. I was almost going to do it to you. Xiao He quickly let go of his hand, "Why don't you dodge?" ”

"Subordinate, I'm afraid of hurting the young master." Tie Xin lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

Xiao He's face darkened, "I naturally know that my martial arts are not as good as yours, so don't talk about it all day long!" ”

Tie Xin smiled innocently and did not make any excuses.

"Let's go, follow me home."

Xiao He took Tie Xin into the secret room in the secret compartment of the room.

"Do you think we should take this opportunity and go straight to it?" Xiao He attaches more importance to Tiexin's opinion, from the bottom of his heart, Xiao He has always relied on Tiexin, if there is no him, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the past five years.

"The subordinates think that this sacrifice to the heavens is still the emperor's desire to test the young master, so it's better not to make a move, although ......" The fist in the iron heart sleeve secretly tightened, such a good opportunity, I really don't want to give up like this, but for the safety of the young master, no, I can't do it.

"It's okay, let's not do it this time, as long as we are alive, there will definitely be a chance." Xiao He patted Tie Xin's shoulder, "Trust me." ”

……

"The process of the Yin Kingdom's Heavenly Worship Ceremony is like this: the Son of Heaven of the Yin Kingdom needs to fast and bathe for three days, and after the end of the ceremony, the Son of Heaven will go to the altar to inspect and check that everything is correct, and then return to the Zhai Palace......"

Xiao He held his head with his hand, and Tong Shilang chattered to him opposite Xiao He about the process of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Xiao He's head is already one head or two big now. "Child-sama,"

"The festival starts in the early morning, Yang Ming Si stands in the middle of the altar, and the six ministers accompany the emperor to the altar, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites rings the bell of the sacrifice...... "Tong Shilang is still immersed in his own affairs.

"Child-sama!" Xiao He couldn't bear it anymore and roared out loudly.

"One last bit!" The old man with gray temples in front of him seemed to be retaliating against Xiao He for letting him sort out the file, chattering endlessly about the process of sacrificing to the sky.

"The goddess welcomes the gods with a dance, the officials sing and sing hymns in unison, the sacrificial children put the sacrifices at the mouth of the furnace and burn them, and the Son of Heaven sits at the head of the altar and reports to the heavens about the merits and demerits, praying for the blessing of the gods and praying for good weather this year."

It's finally over. Deliberately, it must be deliberate, this Tong can write down the process, but he wants to say it in detail little by little.

……

"Six Shangshu, left and right, emperor, princess, queen mother, civil and military officials...... Oh, why are there so many people, plus the accompanying concubines and palace maids and eunuchs, I am alone, how can I arrange it well? Xiao He anxiously knocked on his head.

"Young Master, is it still for the sake of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony?" Tie Xin handed over a cup of tea very intimately.

"It's so troublesome, I really understand how you felt when you were with so many dossiers before." Xiao He always felt that this emperor didn't just want to test him, he simply wanted to embarrass him!

"Young master, you can rest first, and leave the rest to your subordinates." Tie Xin looked at Xiao Hechou's strength, and he really couldn't bear it.

"Okay, okay, you get some rest early, too."

This Mu Churan is just fixing me, okay, look at how I go back!

……

"Your Majesty, all the matters of the ceremony have been prepared, and after the fourth day is an auspicious day, I hope that the emperor will enter the palace to bathe and fast on these three days, and do not delay the time." Xiao He followed Mu Churan closely.

Let you fix me, since the next court, I have been following Mu Churan, Xiao He's resentful eyes, as if he wanted to inflict all the verbosity that Tong Shilang had added to her, on Mu Churan's body.

Mu Churan was forced by Xiao He to have nowhere to escape, and the ceremonies of sacrificing to the heavens over the years, because he was busy with government affairs, almost all omitted the part of fasting, and the previous Ministry of Rites Shangshu did not overemphasize this matter, after all, it was still a national affair.

"I know, Aiqing can step down."

"All the items in the palace have been arranged for the emperor, and I have sent a notice to all the prefectures and departments in the name of the Ministry of Rites, and there will be no reports in these three days, and the emperor can enter the palace with peace of mind and do not have to worry about the government." Xiao He still didn't let go of Mu Churan, kept staring at him and followed him.

Mu Churan really couldn't help it, "Xiao Aiqing! "I really can't keep smiling at the person in front of me.

"Xiao Aiqing, I will move to the palace as soon as possible. You don't have to follow me to remind you all the time. Mu Churan waved his sleeves and walked away quickly.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Xiao He's legs are not as long as Mu Churan's, so he can only run to catch up" The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is very important, and the minister is also for the future of the Yin Kingdom! ”

Mu Churan saw Xiao He chasing after him, and in a hurry, he quickly used his light skills to escape.

He, the emperor, was so depressed that he was chased and fled by his own courtiers.

……

Mu Churan couldn't bear Xiao He's persecution, and finally entered the palace honestly. It's okay to be vegetarian, but there are big fish and meat on weekdays, and eating a vegetarian at this time can be regarded as changing the taste, and the most unbearable thing for him is to bathe every day.

A dignified man, soaking in hot water every day, really makes him a little unbearable.

"Your Majesty, every day, we bathe three times, ......once in the morning, afternoon and evening," Xiao He's voice sounded behind Mu Churan.

Mu Churan's heart "chuckled", Xiao He actually caught up with this ......

Xiao He squatted down, stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, "Oops! How can this water be so cold? What if the emperor is frozen and sick! Come on......"
