Chapter 371 Secretary of the Ministry of Works


    Qin Chi took leave at home and refused visitors.


    The reason for taking leave was that his wife and children were frightened, so he stayed at home to comfort him. In fact, Qin Chi used the holiday time to order people to find a place where the prince and Mr. Yan hide. The other party attacked his wife and children again, which really touched Qin Chi''s bottom line.


    Even with Li Huarong''s hand, he sent the so-called suicide note written by Yang Ge Lao to the imperial case of Emperor Cheng, and asked someone to give the prince a eye medicine in front of Emperor Cheng of Ming, and then sell him a miserable situation.


    "Where did you call this letter?"


    Emperor Ming Cheng asked Li Huarong.


    Li Huarong said truthfully: "I don''t know who handed it over, but someone handed it directly to the doorman. When asked who gave it to the doorman, he couldn''t explain it clearly, just said it was a little beggar."


    Emperor Ming Cheng did not ask again, and he didn''t know if he believed it or didn''t.


    Li Huarong said again: "I can''t judge whether it is true or false, but I can only see that it looks a bit like Yang Zhengkai''s handwriting, and it is unclear whether it is true or false."


    “It was written by him.”


    For decades, Emperor Cheng of Ming was familiar with handwriting. He put down his letter and changed the question, "Yesterday, Qin Qi''an''s wife and children encountered bandits. Today, he asked for leave to stay at home to comfort his wife and children?"


    Li Huarong looked up and glanced at Emperor Mingcheng.


    Seeing that he didn''t seem to be angry, he was not afraid of his vigilance.


    Li Huarong said in a pity tone: "Qin Shaoqing is probably afraid. Your Majesty thinks that he has been assassinated repeatedly, and now he has also suffered malicious revenge with his wife and children."


    Emperor Mingcheng''s face darkened, "Can Li Aijie guess who is taking revenge on him?"


    "I don''t know. I think Qin Shaoqing might have ruined someone''s good deeds or got in the eyes of someone, which makes people unable to wait to get rid of him." Li Huarong''s tone was calm, and he looked up at Emperor Mingcheng again while talking.


    The timing is very particular at this glance.


    It seems that Qin Chi was targeted everywhere, but he was implicated by Emperor Ming Cheng.


    This is invisibly telling Emperor Ming Cheng.


    Qin Chi and the prince had a grudge against him, so he was maliciously retaliated, which indirectly reassured Emperor Ming Cheng.


    At the same time, he reminded Emperor Mingcheng that Qin Chi was a minister he promoted himself, which inevitably touched the interests of some people. Under his nose, if he wants to promote a minister, he still cannot tolerate others, and he cannot even have a guarantee of his life, this is undoubtedly slapping Emperor Mingcheng in the face.


    Emperor Ming Cheng sent Li Huarong away in annoyance.


    He picked up Yang Ge Lao''s suicide note and looked at it.


    "Jixiang, do you think this letter will be related to Qin Qi''an?" Emperor Ming Cheng suddenly spoke.


    Jixiang''s heart skipped a beat, his head lowered, "I don''t know."


    I heard Emperor Mingcheng say again: "His wife came to the capital last night, and today''s letter came to my case. It''s a coincidence in time. Others don''t know, so I can''t know what his wife is. However, he is willing to give up and not take such a great contribution to himself. But can I use such a person with confidence?"


    A person who gives up his own interests is either a fool or has a bigger goal. Qin Qian was able to pass the sixth grade, and was obviously a smart person or a top-notch smart person.


    "I don''t understand this matter. I only know that those who can share your worries are good people. If you make trouble for Your Majesty, I hate them." Jixiang said this.


    This made Emperor Mingcheng laugh.


    The origin of Song Jin''s life experience was naturally investigated by the Jinyiwei. In addition, Emperor Cheng of Ming knew it clearly about donating tens of thousands of stones of grain to the Northwest Army not long ago.


    Not only Jifang, but Shun''an Commercial Bank is also investigating.


    The back of Shun''an Trading Company is related to the military.


    Because most of the caravans formed by Shun''an are soldiers who have retreated from the army, including the workshops built by Shun''an, they also employ disabled soldiers and families in the army. The owner behind Shun''an Trading Company is said to be Hui merchants, who mainly manages the four treasures of the study, and has formed more than a dozen caravans to go shopping all over the country. According to the investigation by the Jinyiwei, Shun''an Trading Company was backed by the Northwest Army, and behind it was Prince Rui''s Mansion.


    Emperor Cheng of Ming once suspected that Qin Chi was the boss behind Shun''an.


    Later, when he thought about the establishment of Shun''an Trading Company, Qin Chi was only about ten years old at that time, Emperor Cheng of Ming then lost his doubts. Besides, he had a good eye to see what Qin Chi had done since he entered the court to become an official.


    "Auspicious, come and grind the ink for me. I cannot disappoint the heroes."


    When Emperor Cheng of Ming said this, his eyes were extremely deep.


    In the afternoon of that day, an imperial edict arrived at the Qin family in Cuihua Hutong.


    The Qin family hurriedly set up the incense table and then bathed in the incense burn. The family came to the courtyard in front to receive the order.


    The person who came to pass the order was Auspicious.


    Jixiang saw with his own eyes that the imperial edict was written by Emperor Ming Cheng. After stamping the seal of God, he asked him to announce the edict as soon as possible.


    He slowly opened the imperial edict with a solemn face and read out loudly: "The emperor''s edict said!"


    "I only have the way to govern the country with peace and stability, and to enhance the country''s politics. Qin, the young minister of Dali Temple, prays for peace, has both talent and virtue, is clean and strict, and has achieved achievements in his past duties. I am very happy."


    "I am now promoted to the Minister of Works to demonstrate his ability. You should be more loyal and do not let my trust in the country. During the tenure of the Ministry of Works, you should work hard to govern, develop water conservancy, develop farming, and consolidate the foundation of the country. You should encourage you..."


    "You can take office immediately, and don''t delay any further."


    "I''m so proud!"


    The last one fell, and the whole audience was silent.


    After a long time, Qin Chi came back to his senses first, quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness, shouted long live, then raised his hands above his head, and took over the imperial edict from Jixiang. In addition, there are official home deeds specially rewarded by the emperor. After all, if the officials are promoted, there must be a place to live.


    Jixiang helped Qin Chi up with a false impression and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, congratulations."


    "Thank you, father-in-law."


    Qin Chi secretly took the purse stuffed into Song Jin''s hand, and then used the move of shaking hands to stuff it into Jixiang''s palm.


    You can take this money with peace of mind.


    After Jixiang accepted the silver, he hurriedly left with people on the grounds that there was still something going on in the palace.


    Song Jin took the imperial edict and looked at it, then handed it back to Qin Chi.


    The imperial edict needs to be placed in the ancestral hall for worship, but in a big house, the primary thing is to move. In fact, when she came back from Huizhou this time, Song Jin also discovered that the house is not enough to live in.


    "Brother, this is an imperial edict, an imperial edict!"


    Saburo''s face was so excited that his eyes were radiant, and his eyes were shockingly bright. He stared at the imperial edict a little incoherently, "My Sanlang saw the imperial edict with his own eyes today. No, no, I also accepted the imperial edict. Uh, no, no, it was the eldest brother who received the imperial edict. I accompanied him to receive the imperial edict, and I made a fortune, hahaha."


    This kid danced with joy.


    Qin Chi directly stuffed the imperial edict into his arms, "Nah, touch it again, and I will enjoy the blessing of Your Majesty."


    "Is it really OK? Is it OK?"


    Saburo held the imperial edict and dared not move.


    What posture does Qin Chi give him? What posture does he hold the imperial edict? It seems that moving more often is disrespectful to the imperial edict.
