Chapter 300 Donations
Emperor Cheng of Ming received Qin Chi''s request for his visit.
I thought about it and saw it.
Qin Chi came over and thanked him, and then said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I heard that you suddenly rewarded me because of the rumors, which made me very frightened. The rumors outside were mostly for the rest of the people''s leisure time, and I didn''t expect to worry Your Majesty."
Emperor Mingcheng looked at Qin Chi.
Of course he knew the situation, but he just wanted to have fun.
Emperor Ming Cheng pointed to the chessboard next to him, "Come on a game."
“Then it’s better to obey your orders than to be respectful.”
Qin Chi straightened his back and sat opposite Emperor Mingcheng''s seat.
When the king and his subjects play chess.
Song Jin also came to the Ministry of Revenue with the donated things.
The official guard at the Ministry of Revenue immediately went in to communicate with him when he heard Song Jin''s intention. I thought that the one who came out to respond would be a minister or a chief officer.
Waited for a while.
A group of officials came out surrounded by the Minister of Revenue.
Song Jin was stunned for a long time.
The Minister of Revenue was full of joy. When he saw Song Jin and the God of Wealth, he said warmly: "It''s the wife of Qin Zhuangyuan''s family, right? I heard that you came to donate to the people who were affected by Taihu Lake, which made me admire him very much. When I heard that you came, I couldn''t sit still and greet him. To show the respect of the Ministry of Revenue for Qin."
Go forward without waiting for Song Jin to speak.
The Minister of Revenue bowed deeply to Song Jin, "I am the official Xia Wei, thank you for your noble righteousness for the people who were affected by Taihu Lake."
"You are polite, so polite."
Song Jin pretended to panic and avoided it.
I dare not accept Xia Wei''s gift.
Song Jin did not expect that he had received such great attention and quickly clarified: "My lord made a mistake. It was not me who donated it, but my family donated it for His Majesty and the masters in the palace."
Xia Wei''s eyelids twitched, "In the palace?"
What was Song Jin saying, and the minister next to him mentioned, "Sir Xia, why don''t you invite Miss Qin in and speak first?"
"Oh, I''m rude. I''m sorry, please come from inside," Xia Wei turned sideways and made an invitation.
Song Jin also pretended to be nervous, "Sir, please, please, please, I''ll follow you."
Before coming here, Song Jin''s words and actions were in line with his country background, and outsiders would not be surprised when they saw him.
There is a prerequisite for donating.
Song Jin entered the Ministry of Revenue and was warmly treated, not only with tea, but also with fruit and snacks.
When the things were moved into the yamen.
Some officials came out to count. In addition to gold and silver, other items were also worth a lot of money. It was much easier for officials from the Ministry of Revenue to exchange them for silver than Song Jin.
What''s more, rewarded.
Most people can’t exchange silver even if they keep it.
After the handover was completed, Song Jin did not wait much.
As if there was a ghost chasing me behind me, I quickly left the yamen.
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue were happy.
"By the way, this is the first time we have seen Qin Qian''s wife."
One person said this, and others agreed.
Suddenly, a voice implicitly said, "It''s very ordinary, and at most pretty. No wonder Qin Qi''an hid her and refused to let her come out. It''s because he couldn''t show off."
The man said this.
The colleagues moved silently away from him.
It’s better to stay away from such a stupid thing, so as not to get tired of them.
Niangzi Qin has an ordinary appearance and they have eyes to see.
But who said that?
Based on what the other party did today, even if the other party is ugly, they would praise her when they are outside. Xia Wei took the list of Song Jin donations, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting he felt, "Ninety taels of gold? His Majesty rewarded him yesterday, and the Qin family left a ingot, but another one hundred taels of silver was added."
A minister next to him said, "The rest should be rewarded by the masters in the palace. The Qin family sent them to the Ministry of Revenue and donated them in the name of the masters."
"What does Qin Qi''an mean? Is it because I donated it, do I look down on these rewards?"
As soon as this said, the man seemed to be shocked and made a mistake, and quickly asked for a revision: "I don''t mean that, I mean..."
"What you say is not important. As a court official, don''t make arbitrary conjectures. If others bring disaster to you, you will take up most of the responsibility." An official on the side reminded him seriously.
The man didn''t dare to say anything at once.
Even the Secretary of Shang Xia Wei glanced at the person who was speechless.
Everyone is a veteran who is lying in the officialdom. Are you still unable to tell whether you are really wrong or false? This stupid thing almost wanted to put "despise the emperor''s kindness" on Qin Chi''s head!
Xia Wei put the order into the sleeve bag and stood up, "I went to the palace to go to the palace, and your Majesty, the Queen and other masters donated to the people of Taihu Lake. You will go outside to promote it. You must let everyone in the capital know that our Majesty is worried about the people suffering from Taihu Lake day and night."
"Sir, you are..."
The official who understood the matter was shocked.
Xia Wei''s eyes were swept away coldly, and no one dared to question it any more, "Just do it as you do, otherwise, the Ministry of Revenue has no money, so what can I use to provide disaster relief? Do you skin it?"
"What the lord said is very true. Now let''s go to promote it."
"I''ll go and arrange it too."
"There will be faster if there are too many people, so the subordinates will ask for help."
“…”
The officials who had just gotten together dispersed almost the same in a blink of an eye.
Xia Wei then slowly walked into the palace.
A man is still the same person, but unlike the past when he was frowning, he is stretching his eyebrows and humming a little tune along the way.
When I arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, I asked to see Emperor Mingcheng.
Emperor Ming Cheng was playing chess with Qin Chi. He held a piece and asked, "Why is he here?"
"Mr. Xia said he had something to report." The **** said with a pleasing face.
Emperor Mingcheng lost a son, "Let him in."
After a while.
Xia Wei came in under the leadership of the eunuch. When he saw Qin Chi sitting with Emperor Mingcheng, he became full of thoughts. It wasn’t that the donation today was made by His Majesty’s private instruction?
If so, wouldn’t he behave like this?
It is easy for civil servants to think more.
Obviously, a simple thing will be analyzed through their brains, and many twists and turns will be analyzed.
Emperor Ming Cheng ignored him.
Qin Chi just wanted to get up and salute Xia Wei.
Emperor Mingcheng said, "Don''t pay attention to him, let''s finish this game first."
"Yes, it''s not an urgent matter, I''m waiting aside." Xia Wei thought about it, and it was indeed not urgent.
Then he stood by and watched the chess.
Qin Chi eventually lost the son of Emperor Mingcheng without any trace.
Emperor Mingcheng was happy, "Yes, Qi''an''s skill in chess is only slightly worse than mine."
“Your Majesty said very well.”
Qin Chi wiped out the non-existent sweat, as if I had tried my best but still lost.
The monarch and ministers are harmonious, very good.
The bystander Xia Wei looked straight and looked at him.
Emperor Ming Cheng took the ginseng tea handed over by the palace maid and drank it, "Aiqing Xia, tell me what''s wrong with coming to see me?"
"The Ministry of Revenue received the donation from His Majesty. I have made a list and come here to ask His Majesty to take a look." Xia Wei took out the donated list from Song Jin from his sleeve with a look of emotion and handed it to Emperor Mingcheng with both hands.
Emperor Mingcheng took it and glanced at it, narrowing his eyes in an instant.
