Qi Tian's exploits in Yunhai City before were obvious to everyone, and he even defeated the Lion Legion twice and recruited An Lushan.

At this moment, in the court, the officials on the eldest princess's side nodded yes, and although the officials on the prince's side did not have any expression, they did not shake their heads in denial.

The prince's gaze swept across the hall, his eyes flashed with a little anger, and his tone unconsciously became a little bigger, "Okay, even if he can be qualified for the duties of the deputy director, but after all, he is only a sixth-level official, how can he be a fourth-level official of the deputy director of the procurement government?"

You must know that even the prince and the eldest princess, and even the emperor do not have the power to be promoted, this is the rule set by Emperor Kaizu. ”

Li Tongwei looked stunned, glanced at the prince unconsciously, and said in his heart, "Prince, don't blame the old minister, in order to win the heir, you won over Gao Yuchen, and let the old man, a dignified director over fifty years old, be oppressed by a hairy deputy director in his thirties, this is your ruthlessness first." ’

"This official proposes to be promoted by skipping ranks!" he shouted.

Suddenly, the entire court was in an uproar.

Skipping the ranks?

Although this law does exist in the Sunny Empire, no one has activated it since the founding of the Great Sunny Empire!

You must know that this kind of difficulty in skipping the rank and promotion is by no means imaginary.

First of all, no leader in charge is willing to let himself quickly have an extra deputy position to share his power, and second, there must be six officials in the Nine Secretaries who are in favor.

You must know that although Jiuqing's level is not as high as that of the three powerful ministers, he is also the minister in charge of one side.

It would be difficult to get seven ministers in charge to agree to the same person's promotion, unless it was possible for an emperor to be in power.

The crown prince faintly had a bad feeling, "Li Tongwei, are you sure you want to do this?"

There was obvious murderous intent in his words, and he didn't even have an official title, just calling him by his name.

Li Tongwei trembled, after all, the prince has controlled the dynasty for many years, and he has an unshakable position in the hearts of all officials, and he was even pulled up by the prince, and it is inevitable that he is a little afraid of the prince in his heart.

The prince saw that Li Tongwei's face was pale, and his body couldn't stop trembling, and he was very satisfied, "Li Tongwei, this prince asks you again, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Is the prince threatening Lord Li?"

Celestia, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

The crown prince looked at the eldest princess, "What, the eldest princess is also in charge of this matter?"

"This palace doesn't dare, the procurement house is an institution directly managed by the prince for many years, and this palace is the prince's sister, how can she win the love of her younger brother. ”

The eldest princess's tone changed, "It's just that the palace feels that it is really a loss of royal demeanor for the court to openly intimidate the court officials." ”

The prince's eyes narrowed, and his tone was not good: "When did this prince intimidate him, it is really that this prince is the king appointed by God, and he will naturally be shocked by the king's anger." ”

The eldest princess was like a silver bell, and she actually laughed.

The prince ignored her, turned his eyes and continued to look at Li Tongwei, "Say, are you sure?"

Although Li Tongwei is afraid of the prince, he is also over fifty years old, and he knows in his heart that it is time to choose a side.

He tried his best to calm the fear in his heart, his eyes looked at the eldest princess in gold, and his expression suddenly straightened, "This official confirms, and proposes to be promoted to Qi Tian by leaping over the ranks!"

As soon as these words came out, the prince's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he understood that Li Tongwei and his purchasing mansion had completely stood in the camp of the eldest princess.

"Okay, good, good!" The prince said "good" three times in a row, and turned his eyes to look at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, "Since Li Tongwei insists on this, let's vote now, you know, in addition to the proposal of the head of the department in charge of this institution, the other five Jiuqing leaders need to agree." ”

As if she had known for a long time, the eldest princess swept her gaze to the officials behind her, and immediately four officials raised their hands, indicating that they agreed to the promotion.

The prince was furious!

He knew in his heart that he was played by Princess Celestia and Qi Tian!

Obviously, these two people had already colluded, otherwise how could the eldest princess know in advance that Li Tongwei was going to be promoted for Qi Tian, and let the four heads of the institutions under her raise their hands without discussion.

But fortunately, in addition to the officials under the eldest princess, as well as the anti-water Li Tongwei, Qi Tian still needs an endorsement before he can be promoted.

"What, is there no one?" the prince sneered, "You know, six of the Nine Qings agree, Qi can only be promoted." ”

"The official agrees. ”

In an instant, the Manchu officials, including the eldest princess and the crown prince, all looked at the owner of the voice.

Then, a man with a very rich figure walked to the middle of the court, and repeated with a natural expression: "This official agrees to be promoted to the deputy director of the procurement office. ”

The prince's eyes widened, and he looked at the middle-aged man who was lucky in disbelief, this person was the director of the finance department who had always been loyal to him, Huang Youcai!

"Lord Huang, do you agree with Qi Tian becoming the deputy director of the Procurement Office?"

Huang Youcai's expression was calm, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, yes, this official agrees." ”

He said this very politely and respectfully.

"You... You—" The prince was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Li Tongwei glanced at Huang Youcai and was very surprised in his heart.

When Qi Tian found him last night, he knew that Qi Tian, the other five people in Jiuqing, had already made arrangements.

It's just that he never imagined that in addition to the four directors directly under the direct management of the eldest princess, the other one turned out to be the Minister of Finance who obeyed the prince's words, Huang Youcai!

Huang Youcai is a person he knows very well, he is a person who is left and right, the city government is very deep, and he is a far-sighted person, and he manages the finances for two generations of emperors and princes, and his personal ability and political cultivation are very powerful.

Even Huang Youcai supported Qi Tian, Li Tongwei's heart that was still a little hesitant at the moment immediately let go, and even secretly congratulated himself that his choice was not wrong!

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Li Tongwei's heart, 'Could it be that the future of the Yanyang Empire is really the ruling of the eldest princess?

The prince's face was pale at the moment, and he felt as if he had been deceived by someone closest to him.

"Prince, if you don't give the order yet, what are you waiting for?" the eldest princess gloated in her tone.

The crown prince looked at the eldest princess, his eyes full of resentment.

He now regrets very much that he didn't listen to those ministers' words last night, they have long reminded him to pay attention to Qi Tian and the eldest princess, Qi Tian has been very close to Huang Youcai and Li Tongwei these days.

But he didn't listen to these words, and even thought that the two of them would be extremely loyal to him as always.

Now, the corner of his house has been dug up, and he still gives money to the number of people, what an idiot!

"Since Li Tongwei proposed it, and the other five directors agreed, the prince now issued an order to promote Qi Tian to the deputy director of the procurement government. ”

The prince's words were as if he was gritting his back molars.

-------

Just when the entire empire's power center was competing for Qi Tian's promotion, someone was still too lazy to meet Meng Gu in bed.

"Bell, bell, bell..."

Qi Tian opened his eyes in a daze, "Who!"

He's a little out of bed.

"Boss, the court has issued an order!"

"Huh, order?" Qi Tian hadn't reacted yet.

When he walked out of the room, Lin Guodong looked at him with a look of surprise, "Boss, you're going to be promoted!"

Qi Tian suddenly felt that everything was going well in the court today, and he had been promoted to the deputy director of the procurement office.

"Oh, I see. ”

Lin Guodong saw that Qi Tian was so indifferent, and gave Qi Tian a thumbs up again in his heart.

There is such a thing as being promoted and making a fortune, no one knows that it is not a jump high to receive orders, how can there be such a thing as the boss, as if it is like listening to a trivial matter.

Qi Tian came to the living room and saw the legendary ... Eunuch.

"Congratulations, Lord Qi, you are the first official to be promoted by leapfrogging in the hundreds of years since the founding of the country. A father-in-law with a shrill voice and a lotus finger looked at Qi Tian with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, I don't know what my father-in-law is called?" Qi Tian asked with a smile.

"Lord Qi can call me Grandpa Liu. "Grandpa Liu is very polite.

"Hmm..."

I don't know why, Qi Tian looked at Gonggong Liu's seemingly... With ambiguous eyes, it turned out to be a little disgusting.

"Grandpa Liu, this is the old... Lord Qi gives you a little meaning. Lin Guodong handed over a bulging money bag.

"Lord Qi is too polite, how can this be embarrassing. Although Gonggong Liu said this, the hand that took the money bag did not hesitate.

He inadvertently opened the mouth of the money bag, and when he saw the golden gold coins inside, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he said in his heart, "Lord Qi is in charge of Yunhai City, the richest city in the empire, and he really made an extraordinary move!"

These eunuchs, who have been sent to the palace since childhood, undergo daily etiquette training and serve the emperor and the royal family, in order to make more money.

"Then the old slave will leave, and if Lord Qi has any instructions in the future, he will command him at any time. Gonggong Liu smiled.

Qi Tian nodded, "Then I'll thank Gonggong Liu in advance." ”

When Gonggong Liu left, Qi Tian turned his eyes to Lin Guodong, "Who asked you to give him the money without permission?"

Lin Guodong was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart, 'Did you do something wrong?'

Qi Tian saw Lin Guodong's panicked appearance, and smiled "poof", "I'm kidding you, this time things are doing well, or I will forget about it." ”

Lin Guodong's heart was also put down, "I'm scared, boss, let's discuss, can we stop being so scary in the future?" ”

Qi Tian smiled "haha" and walked towards the door.

As in the past few days, the people are still surrounded by the people in front of the house, but there are fewer than yesterday, and it seems that the power of faith will also fade with time.

When Qi Tian came to the door, he was immediately recognized by the people.

They knelt on the ground and shouted reverently, "Qi Immortals!"

Qi Tian smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Hello people in the Imperial Capital City, I'm Qi Tian! But I'm not an immortal, I just have the ability to communicate with immortals!"

The gods told me in a dream yesterday that you must not be surrounded at the gate of my house and the entrance of the school in the future, which will delay your work and life and cause sin.

If there is anything going on with the old man, he will tell me in a dream, and then tell you, and your prayers and supplications, as long as you are sincere, no matter where you are, the old man will hear it. ”

The people were stunned by these words.

Qi Tian smiled slightly, and did not wait for the reaction of the people, and directly stepped on the wind and fire, and drove towards the procurement mansion.

in the carriage.

"Bingfeng, I find that you get to know me better and better. ”

"Why?"

"I know I didn't like yesterday's carriage. Qi Tian lay on the bed of Fenghuo and said very comfortably.

"I think you misunderstood, I didn't like to drive that carriage yesterday, so I changed the wind today. ”

“...”

When he arrived at the procurement office, Li Tongwei and several other officials were waiting at the door.

"Master Li, why are you waiting here?" Qi Tian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I've long heard that Lord Qi has the habit of working at noon, but it can't be like this tomorrow, after all, the early dynasty really can't be delayed. Li Tongwei said with a smile.

Qi Tian also smiled "haha", "Don't worry, I will be the first to go to the gate of the court tomorrow." ”

Subsequently, Li Tongwei once again carried out bureaucratic style, and at noon he invited Qi Tian to have a big meal with the heads of several major departments of the procurement government.

After the meal, Qi Tian did not go to the procurement mansion, but went to the officer academy.

If there was no Huang Xiaoxue, Qi Tian might have sent someone to inform Li Bofu that he would not come in the future.

But Huang Xiaoxue is now his unmarried wife, so he naturally wants to show enough respect.

Arrived at the Officers' Academy.

Yesterday's martial law was gone, and the students Qi Tian met along the way, everyone cast a reluctant glance at him.

Qi Tianxin said, "It seems that these students all know about their transfer to the Procurement Mansion." ’

When they came to Class 7, all the students sat neatly, and Chen Kaide and Wei Dong even had tears in their eyes.

It's just that there are a few extra people who make Qi Tian a little surprised, it turned out to be Xie Shengli and Li Yi and others.

Qi Tian laughed, "Aren't they all the ones who sneer at themselves the most, and why are they still willing to take their own classes?"

"Instructor Qi, we don't want you to go. Wei Dong suddenly stood up and said.

"Yes, Instructor Qi, don't leave us, okay?" Chen Kaide almost cried.

Qi Tian realized that Huang Xiaoxue's tears had already flowed out of the corners of her eyes, and she was secretly wiping them off the stage.

"I'm just leaving the Military Academy, not leaving the Empire, if you want me, come to the 'Jiao Mei Noodle Restaurant' or the Purchasing House to find me at any time. Qi Tian smiled.

"Is it the 'Jiao Mei Ramen' that is so popular that you can wait in line for a long time to eat a bowl of noodles?"

"Yes, I've heard that the noodle restaurant is so popular that you have to wait in line for a long time!

"My family also asked if they could invest or open a franchise store, but the proprietress said that they didn't need to invest and didn't want to join. ”

"Of course, how can such a hot store be invested. The proprietress of the noodle restaurant is also very beautiful, and it is said that she used to be in the officialdom. ”

When Qi Tian heard this, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

He knew that the past had always been a pain in Li Jiaomei's heart.

"Students, don't talk nonsense, the proprietress of 'Jiao Mei Ramen' is a very simple, very kind regular family, and one of my wives. Qi Tian said with a serious expression.

All of a sudden, the classroom fell silent.
