Chapter 315 Grand Court Meeting
There are guests at home again.
The kitchen made a few more dishes.
Qin Ba went to the warehouse to get a jar of barley wine.
Qin Chi personally poured a bowl of wine for Dong Xingde, "The barley wine from Tianyoude Wine Workshop is said to be made of wine from ancient well water. Drink a sip of fragrant, mellow, sweet and refreshing, and it has a long aftertaste."
"Haha, you said it before you even drink it?"
Dong Xingde''s mouth is a bit poisonous.
Qin Chi paused with the action of pouring wine, "Can I drink it before?"
Dong Xingde didn''t answer this.
Just picked up the wine and took a sip, then savored it carefully, and it tasted the taste that Qin Chi said.
After a few bowls of wine, Dong Xingde was a little accustomed, "Qin Qi''an, I really envy you."
Qin Chi asked, "What do you envy me?"
"I envy you for your pride in the officialdom." Dong Xingde''s voice was a little heavy, "You have been walking too smoothly. I have been on the bench for more than four years, and I still sit on the bench, and I can hardly see hope."
"Do you have ambitions?"
Qin Chi suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to the camp carefully? Or is it sitting in its original position waiting for the pie that fell from the sky?"
Dong Xingde''s face froze.
Qin Chi''s tone was calm, neither anxious nor impatient, "I don''t know much about Brother Dong''s situation in the Hanlin Academy for several years, but I know that if I want to move up, in addition to the opportunity, I also have to have that heart."
"That heart?"
Dong Xingde believes that he has that heart.
But no one gave him a chance to climb up!
Qin Chi dared not say that he saw countless people.
Qin Chi knows very well what Dong Xingde''s mentality is.
Isn’t it just that you are talented but not appreciated? I feel that I have won the top scorer and it is inevitable that when I get along with others, I will show a bit of awesomeness. There are also some shortcomings in human relationships.
But people are indeed talented and knowledgeable.
After four years of becoming an official in the court, he could still retain the bottom line and original intention. It would be hard to say if he continued to be depressed like this.
As soon as I saw him today, Qin Chi discovered that Dong Xingde''s mentality was unstable.
Qin Chi thought of the kindness he gave when he first arrived at the Hanlin Academy, so he didn''t mind saying a few words: "Scholars like aloofness, but those who get along with you may not like it. To be honest, when I first arrived at the Hanlin Academy, I heard other people evaluate Mr. Dong and said that you are not easy to get along with."
He picked up the wine jar and poured a glass for Dong Xingde.
"I haven''t gotten along with you for long. I know that you have a bad temper, but you act with principles." Qin Chi pulled Dong Xingde back with a sentence.
Dong Xingde knows how outsiders say he does not mean that he likes being told to face.
Qin Chi said as steady as Mount Tai: "I regard you as a friend, and I am just focusing on you today. As the saying goes, self-cultivation, family, country and peace, one must first reflect on one''s own self-cultivation. The way to reflect is like tea in a pot, which can remove turbidity and clearness, and eliminate disease and health."
Dong Xingde was so stupid that he heard it.
He just wanted to say something and let him go back and reflect?
If he had known how to reflect over the years, would he still be depressed and unsuccessful?
"Look at your expression, I mentioned that you are not happy to reflect on me. Do you think you have a good temper? Do you? If others don''t give you a chance, it''s just that others are wrong, and you won''t be wrong at all?" Qin Chi took the chair and sat next to Dong Xingde.
He slapped Dong Xingde on the shoulder with a slap.
The strength is not small.
Qin Chi sneered: "I''ll take your anger away. I suggest you look in the mirror more often and see if you have the demeanor that the top scorer should have? The rules you learned have not trapped others, but instead trapped yourself in it in a stern manner."
Dong Xingde''s eyes widened.
This is directly trampling on his sore spot.
He was stunned for a long time, and finally stood up in a state of alcohol and bowed deeply to Qin Chi, "Thank you for your advice today."
"I didn''t mention anything."
Qin Chi refused to admit it and pulled him down, "I can''t stay in the Hanlin Academy, so I spent some time to go to the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple to find an errand."
Dong Xingde has such a bad temper.
Xingbu and Dali Temple are indeed a good place to go.
It is not uncommon for others to go there and have a stern face. Qin Chi didn''t know what he said today changed Dong Xingde''s second half of his life and made him remember it for the rest of his life. Whenever he encounters setbacks, he will recall what Qin Chi said today and then start to reflect. So the top scholar who was once ridiculed, got rid of the predicament and became bigger and bigger.
Besides, Qin Chi was resting at home for several days.
Finally arrived at the Grand Court.
Qin Chi got up early and packed himself up.
Song Jin asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast early.
After breakfast, Qin Chi brought the memorial and the so-called letter of gratitude to go out.
"Bring this." Song Jin stuffed a few pieces of small peach pastry into a purse and put them in Qin Chi''s hand. "I''m afraid it''s not peaceful today, so I may not be able to go to court at noon."
Qin Chi thought that if he brought this, he might not be able to eat it in the hall.
However, he was responsible for his wife''s wishes.
Qin Chi hung the purse that was filled with peach crisps to his waist.
When he came to the palace, when he met his officials, he always smelled the fragrance of peach crisps. They did not suspect that Qin Chi had peach pastry on him, but they suspected that he had eaten peach pastry this morning.
It was the time when we went to court in seriousness that no one would say much.
Everyone''s attention was not on the so-called fragrance of peach crisps, but on a small silk book brought by Qin Chi.
Everyone with good information knows it.
This silk book was thanked by the people of Taihu Lake for Emperor Ming Cheng.
Xia Wei stood in front and turned around and glanced at Qin Chi.
Yuan Shangshu, Yang Gelao and others also looked back at Qin Chi. They were of high position and powerful position, and the positions listed in the hall were much higher than Qin Chi.
And they turned around.
Naturally, the people in front of Qin Chi turned around and looked at Qin Chi.
So, the court meeting has not begun.
Qin Chi was in the spotlight, making his eyelids twitch.
“Go to court!”
“The emperor is here!”
With the eunuch''s sharp voice, Emperor Mingcheng slowly stepped into the throne, his dragon robe shining with golden brilliance and majestic and awe-inspiring.
The court officials were dressed in official robes and knelt down and shouted long live.
After Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty said to be calm, the court officials stood up and retreated to their respective positions and stood solemnly.
The **** Sili shouted loudly: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"
Waited for a long time.
No ministers stood up.
Emperor Mingcheng looked at Qin Chi with an instant look.
Qin Chi understood the truth, stepped forward, bowed his head and saluted, and said in a straight voice: "Your Majesty, the uncle Qin Qi''an was ordered to provide disaster relief. Fortunately, he did not humiliate his orders. The people were grateful for the kindness of heaven and offered silk books to express their innocence."
“Okay, okay, come on!”
Mingcheng Emperor Long was very happy.
Qin Chi raised the silk book over his head.
The **** in front of the imperial court came over, took the silk book with both hands, and then bowed to present the silk book to Emperor Ming Cheng.
Under the instructions of Emperor Cheng of Ming, two eunuchs slowly opened the silk book. After careful review, Emperor Mingcheng showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Qin Aiqing, you did a good job! Very good!"
Qin Chi said modestly: "It is the matter of the meritorious minister who can share your worries."
"What a matter of duty. If everyone thinks like you, why worry about my Daxia Dynasty?" Emperor Mingcheng sighed with a smile.
It’s better not to say this.
Qin Chi''s mouth twitched.
At this moment, he reasonably suspected that Emperor Cheng of Ming was going to punish him. Can''t wait to put him on the fire?
