Chapter 326 Fourth-rank Concubine


    Emperor Cheng of Ming read the secret memorial of Secretary Yuan.


    After seeing it, his face remained unchanged.


    No one guessed what he was thinking, but the eunuchs and palace maids who served in front of the emperor in recent days have become more and more cautious.


    Emperor Cheng of Ming put the secret memorial on the imperial case.


    There is not only one secret memorial on the case.


    He saw everything about the Yang family and the Yuan family.


    But he never knew that these people would be so capable. In just a few days, illegal things that surfaced one after another, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and more and more people were involved. Just the battle between the two ministers involved half of the court.


    After Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty observed, he found that there were few innocent people. He didn''t like Qin Qi''an, but after this, he could be called a clear stream.


    So, he drew a memorial for merit from the cabinet in the imperial case, which was the friendship of Taihu''s comments on merit and rewards after disaster relief.


    With a big stroke, he wrote the word "accurate".


    Emperor Ming Cheng said: "There are Qin Qi''an''s wife who contributed to the disaster relief in Taihu Lake. He seems to have not yet asked his wife for a title. This time he will be named a fourth-rank Gongren, so that he will not have to wait for him to work in Dali Temple and ask for another title."


    "Your Majesty is so nice to the ministers below."


    The old **** beside him gave a compliment.


    Emperor Mingcheng finally had a smile on his face, "I am not an emperor who treats his subjects harshly."


    The **** who heard the next to him quickly responded.


    People who often pay attention to the movements in the palace are particularly shocked.


    At the moment when the Yuan and Yang families were in full swing, Emperor Cheng of Ming was as stable as Mount Tai, and he had no intention of getting involved. He was even in the mood to add a title to Qin Qi''an''s wife. In fact, Emperor Cheng of Ming not only gave the Qin family rewards, but other people who went to Taihu Lake also received rewards.


    Just in the eyes of outsiders.


    Qin Chi is already conspicuous and has some troubles, so everyone will notice him first.


    Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the **** of the Sili came to the Qin family with the imperial edict.


    Qin Chi was rewarded with some gold, silver, jewelry, and jade, and the most important thing was to read out the imperial edict of Song Jin and the imperial edict.


    When issuing edicts, certain rituals and etiquettes are usually held to show solemnity and formality. Therefore, after bathing and burning incense, you must also arrange incense tables, etc.


    Song Jin kneeled down with her big belly.


    After taking over the imperial edict and imperial edict, the **** of Sili hurriedly said, "Song Gongren is a two-body person, please get up quickly."


    "Thank you, my father-in-law, for sympathizing with my wife''s inconvenience. Uncle Li comes to give me some joy." Qin Chi helped Song Jin stand up while asking Old Li to give me silver rewards.


    Old Li has been ready long ago.


    He stuffed a big red **** to the **** who announced the eunuch, followed by officials from the Ministry of Rites, and then to the officials and young eunuchs who accompanied him.


    Everyone was very happy to receive the silver reward and congratulated Qin Chi and Song Jin.


    The group said goodbye.


    When leaving, a little **** walked at the end. When passing by Old Man Hong, he seemed to be tripped by something, and staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Old Man Hong helped him in time.


    The little **** thanked Old Man Hong.


    Afterwards, he quickly stepped out of the Qin family.


    Outsiders see this.


    In fact, the little **** took the opportunity to stuff things to Old Man Hong, and his actions were extremely concealed.


    Old Man Hong put away the things without any trace, his expression never changed.


    Wait for the people outside watching the fun.


    The Qin family closed the door and still closed their doors to thank the guests.


    The people outside were still not satisfied with the fun. They walked away and gathered together to talk: "Is this Qin family good again?"


    "That''s right, it''s Your Majesty''s title. Madam Qin is really envious. Her man has been an official for so long, and he is a fourth-rank respected man. My family''s man hasn''t even reached the fifth-rank." An old lady who was watching the fun was so sour.


    A woman next to her glanced at her, "Come on, we won''t have that fate."


    Another well-dressed woman said, then put her hand on the maid''s arm next to her, and walked away with her head raised and her chest out.


    What the neighbors say is that the parties involved are unaware of the information.


    Qin Chi and Song Jin first worshipped the imperial edict.


    Then I went back to the room.


    Song Jin looked at the imperial edict in a rare manner.


    The edict stated “Congratulations”.


    Only the wife of the first and second rank officials are called "Madam", their legitimate mother is called "Madam", the third rank is a gentleman, the fourth rank is a respectful person, the fifth rank is a pleasant person, the sixth rank is a peaceful person, and the seventh rank is a slut.


    Whoever has no seal or no character is called "Miss".


    Qin Chi did not request a seal before, and in addition to not making any achievements, he was also concerned about the government''s review. Now that he has issued an imperial edict, he has directly skipped the review step. What he had worried about before is no longer a problem.


    Yinlong brought a basin of clear water in, "Miss, let''s wash your face first and wash the strange thing on your face."


    "Okay, Aunt Long."


    Song Jin never thought of wearing ugly makeup when she was pregnant.


    The imperial edict came, and if you want to see outsiders, you will hurry up, and that was a last resort.


    Yinlong was serving Song Jin to clean her face.


    Qin Chi looked around, and after she finished washing, she said, "Do you want Mr. Jing to see if these things hurt the fetus?"


    “I’m not afraid of using it for a short time.”


    Song Jin himself knew some pharmacology, and Yin Long was here, "I won''t bother Mr. Jing. I heard that he is studying the prescriptions prescribed by Doctor Zhuo all day long."


    Qin Chi suddenly felt a little relaxed. Seeing her smile on her eyebrows, she couldn''t help but tease, "I haven''t congratulated you yet. She has become a fourth-rank congratulatory person, and her grade is higher than my husband."


    "hehe."


    Song Jin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Isn''t it a blessing for my husband?"


    "This has nothing to do with me. It was Madam Gao Yi who donated the rewards from the palace to the victims of Taihu Lake. His Majesty saw it." Qin Chi said seriously.


    Song Jin was so embarrassed that he was very embarrassed, "What am I? I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."


    "My wife is humble."


    Qin Chi''s idea is different. "In the Taihu disaster relief, if you really want to talk about the contribution, your wife should be the first to be the best. If you don''t talk about selling grain to the government at a low price, you saved countless people, but my wife sold this matter anonymously, and I can''t ask for merit for you. It was just that donation. If my wife hadn''t donated to the Ministry of Revenue, the preparation of materials would not be so smooth."


    Song Jin knew this was the truth.


    But it is always a bit embarrassing to be praised so clearly.


    Qin Chi said again: "It''s just that my wife''s credit is not easy to give her, so she will be given an additional title today."


    Otherwise, there are many donors, and only Song Jin gets the benefits, and others will definitely have opinions.


    Don’t worry about lack of weight but worry about inequality.


    Therefore, when the cabinet planned to give memorials, there was no name from Song Jin.


    Emperor Cheng of Ming also knew this truth.


    This is why Song Jin was granted the title of imperial edict, which is reasonable in the eyes of outsiders. The only more outrageous thing was that Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty appointed Song Jin as a fourth-rank Gongren in advance, rather than Qin Qi''an''s current fifth-rank official position.


    It can also be seen from this point.


    Qin Qi''an is stable in his position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple.


    Today, the owner''s family was happy. Each person received a silver reward of one or two, and then added food to the evening.


    Everyone had enough food and drinks, so they went to rest.
