The left official of the Ministry of Orders said, "This first cup of wine, I wish the Tianyi Dynasty eternal generations." Emperor Chengfeng raised his glass, "I wish the Tianyi Dynasty eternal and immortal." The officials and messengers shouted in unison, and for a moment, the Chenji Hall was filled with immortal voices. The left officer raised his glass, "This second cup of wine, I wish Your Majesty a long life and a long life." "I wish Your Majesty a long and healthy life and a long life. Emperor Chengfeng said, "This third cup of wine, welcome the envoys, drink this cup full." ”

The civil and military officials turned around, held their glasses and said, "To the envoys." The messengers raised their glasses, "Thank you to Your Majesty and your lordship." Emperor Chengfeng put down the cup, "If I am tired, I will not accompany you, you must have fun." Everyone in the hall stood up, "Greetings to Your Majesty." "After Emperor Chengfeng left, the entire Chenji Hall became lively. There were frequent exchanges between envoys from various countries, both pleasant and unpleasant. This royal banquet is just a symbol, and no one is really full. Under this large public, it is really not easy to eat comfortably.

The six vassal kings, the five major chiefs, and the left officials bowed their hands to each other, and then Shi Shiran went out of the Chenji Palace. When these bigwigs left, the officials of the Tianyi Dynasty also left one after another. Only the stunned envoys of various countries were left. The envoys, who had been arguing somewhat, suddenly fell silent, and no one knew what was going on. Shang Lover ate the delicious food and muttered, "What's the matter, there is not even a person to accompany the guests in this floating city." ”

The celebrant who led the team clasped his fists at the envoys, "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have business to do, and after the rank is eaten, we can take a carriage out of the inner city and return to the outer city to stay." You can also go up to the second floor of the floating tower and enter the Hanhai Book Building to read. I'll be there for you tomorrow after I'm done with my business. The celebrants who accompanied the envoys of various countries walked towards the outside of the Chenji Hall one by one, Xiao Ming looked at Xiyao suspiciously, "What should we do?"

Xi Yao said, "What else can I do, just follow along." General Zhang, I think that after the three of us have dinner, we will go to the Hanhai Library, and the two of us will not accompany us. Zhang Sheng said, "It's okay, you guys go, the three of us know." After taking all the celebrants away, the Chenji Hall had become a mess, and the envoys of various countries who were hostile to each other even rolled up their sleeves and wanted to use force. But seeing the motionless city guards in Chenji Palace, they had to stop fighting.

The celebrant returned to the celebrant, and in the lobby of the celebrant, the chief of the celebrant sat in the first place, and Lin Cheng stood on the right hand. Officials at all levels stood in the lobby with official positions, and Xi Yao and Xiao Ming stood at the end of the line. The chief said, "All the officials of the fourth grade, hand over the red stickers." There were more than twenty of the celebrants, and they placed the red stickers neatly on the table, and then returned to their positions. The chief said, "Take these twenty-four stickers to the secretary's department and give them to the left secretary." An official agreed, put on a red sticker and left.

The chief said, "Lin Cheng, you say." Lin Cheng bowed, "Tomorrow, the Tianyi Dynasty will hold a court meeting, and the content of the court meeting is related to the direction of the dynasty for hundreds of years. These twenty-four red stickers are the priest's request, wanting to give the people below a chance to exercise. All officials below the rank of four ranks, as well as those temporarily recruited, should be responsible for the arrangements of the envoys in the next two days, and there must be no mistakes. ”

The officials collectively promised, "Okay, the official position on the fourth grade will stay, and the rest will disperse." The chief priest waved his hand, "Wait, entertain the two people of Jinghai Kingdom to stay." The officials looked at Xi Yao and Xiao Ming in surprise, and Xiao Ming's legs couldn't help but go limp. The chief said, "Come forward." Xi Yao and Xiao Ming approached, and the chief smiled, "Yes, yes, you are doing very well in the Chenji Palace, can you read?" ”

The chief said, "Get a pen and paper." "Xiyao was made overnight, and the font was extremely neat and beautiful. The chief priest bowed his head again, "But, tomorrow, you will be the secretary of the court meeting?" Xi Yao wondered, "Clerk?" Lin Chengdao, "The secretary is responsible for transcribing the words and deeds of His Majesty and the officials in the court meeting. Xiao Ming was very envious of Xi Yao, but Xi Yao shirked and said, "Thank you for your love, but I already have the task of receiving the envoy of Jinghai Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be difficult to separate." ”

Lin Chengdao, "The envoy who received the Jinghai Kingdom naturally has him, so why do I need you." Xiao Ming's eyes were obviously a little lost, without Xiyao, he was really not sure to do this task well. Xi Yao said, "I am the person who is in the eye of the chief of the medical department, and this time, I came to the chief of ceremonies, but it was an accident." The chief priest pondered, and said, "Unknown man, but I have never heard of him being a strange man who takes in apprentices." Lin Chengdao, "Is there an official or not." Xi Yao asked rhetorically, "What official?"

The chief said with a smile, "Since there is no official, then you can't do anything, you better be a good clerk." Xi Yao was still about to refuse, but Lord Lin Cheng said coldly, "If you refuse, then he doesn't have to do the task of this ceremonial officer." Lin Cheng accurately grasped Xi Yao's weakness, and Xi Yao had to give in. But Xi Yao was unwilling, "There are no other guarantees?" The chief said with a smile, "Little slippery, dare to mention conditions to Lin Cheng, you are the first." ”

Lin Cheng asked, "My lord, what do you see?" said the chief priest, "For the sake of his boldness, promise him." Lin Chengdao, "No matter what your friends do well or not this time, they will stay in the celebrants." Xi Yao said, "What position?" Lin Cheng rolled Xi Yao's eyes, "Litong." Xi Yao subconsciously said, "What is the position of the rite boy?" Xiao Ming's face was already full of joy, although the rite boy of the celebrant division, although it was the lowest level, but I don't know how many people sharpened their heads and drilled into it.

"One step at a time, either agree, or, you better go back to the kitchen. Xi Yao saw Xiao Ming's happiness and said, "Deal, but there is one condition." "Under such conditions, he can still rationally and objectively adjust the conditions, which is probably the reason why the chief of the department values him," he said. "I work at the Ceremonial Division during the day and go back to the Medical Officer's Office at night. Lin Chengdao, "Yes, now, you, go to receive the envoy of the Jinghai Kingdom, and you, pick up your pen and make a record, I want to check whether you are competent." ”

"Alright, everyone, please take a seat." Tomorrow's court meeting will discuss two things, first, about the Liumang Straight, and second, about the prince of the Tianyi Dynasty. These two things are related to the direction of the Tianyi Dynasty in the next hundred years, and they will be discussed now. "No wonder the officials of the various ministries left in a hurry, it turned out that they were to discuss these two important matters in order to prepare for tomorrow's court meeting.
