Chapter 208 Going to the Ministry of Rites to Be an Official

The next day, Chen Xiao obediently arrived at the hall to go to the morning court.

As soon as he entered the hall, countless officials immediately cast various eyes.

Most of them are with fearful eyes.

What happened yesterday afternoon has spread.

More than 200 people died in such a huge Ministry of Revenue!

This is equivalent to killing all the officials of a department.

Yesterday, outside the gate of the Ministry of Revenue, there were countless bodies piled up.

The blood dyed the door of the Ministry of Revenue red, completely rinsing away the corruption that has been corruption over the years with blood!

Countless people are both afraid and happy.

Countless officials are both afraid and... afraid...

Now, the culprit has come to the hall, and naturally, everyone is looking at him in fear!

Of course, many people also cast hatred attention to him.

The reason is also very simple!

Because Chen Xiao killed so many officials of the Ministry of Revenue, he actually cut off the corruption of some officials.

You should know that corruption in the Ministry of Revenue can be divided into internal corruption and external corruption.

For example, some officials of the Ministry of Revenue who were previously in charge of Chen Xiao would embezzle some of the money they gave to external officials when they allocate any public funds.

Although it is not as crazy as the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, it is also a benefit!

Chen Xiao suddenly took all these people off due to corruption, which was equivalent to cutting off the financial resources of many other officials.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for everyone to see him.

Another problem is that Chen Xiao’s killing is absolutely a taboo for many officials.

Everyone is an official, who likes a person who kills hundreds of officials in a day?

What if that day, everyone present is killed?

Therefore, invisibly, Chen Xiao established many enemies and oppositions for himself.

Of course, Chen Xiao himself doesn’t care about this!

He swaggered into the court.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone, I believe you have heard of Chen Xiao's feat yesterday?"

"Uh...haha, I heard that Lord Chen is really amazing. In the afternoon, he actually settled all the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue. I admire him!" A minister of the Ministry of Personnel spoke.

Although it sounds like a compliment, Chen Xiao felt that it was somewhat perfunctory!

Some other officials spoke in such perfunctory manner.

"Mr. Chen is so young, he is really a talent. He is so powerful to solve the case and investigate corruption!"

"That's right, Lord Chen is decisive in killing. He killed hundreds of people in one afternoon, and he doesn't blink!"

"More than that, Lord Chen killed someone himself, it's not the same as without blinking?"

Listening to these words, Chen Xiao just smiled slightly without a smile.

The emperor waved his hand, and everyone was quiet and said, "Chen Xiao has made great contributions to investigating corruption, and I decided to promote him."

"Your Majesty is a wise and wise man, Lord Chen is a talent, a mere sixth rank official, really a talent!" said the Minister of Works.

A Grand Secretary also said: "Mr. Chen is amazing in his talent and ability, and he should indeed be promoted."

The Minister of Rites also smiled and said, "I also think that I should promote Lord Chen!"

The emperor looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Oh? My dear, you think you should be promoted? Then this way, just transfer Chen Xiao to the Ministry of Rites and be the doctor of the master and guest department. How about it?"

The Minister of Rites' face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly looked up and said, "Your Majesty, my Ministry of Rites... is not short of people..."

"It's settled!" said the emperor:

"The doctor of the host and guest department has been empty all the time. Now, there is a prince in the Eagle Kingdom, so Chen Xiao will be the doctor of the host and guest department and receive it."

The Minister of Rites almost sat on the ground and cried when he heard this!

It’s not that I don’t want the Ministry of Rites to have a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, but mainly because I don’t want Chen Xiao to come to the Ministry of Rites.

Yesterday, Chen Xiao killed hundreds of people in the Ministry of Revenue. Did you bring him to the Ministry of Rites today?

What a sin!

Many officials looked at the Minister of Rites at this moment, and were full of ridicule.

Everyone thought to themselves, who told you to praise Chen Xiao just now?

Now, the Minister of Rites dare not say anything. What can he do if the emperor asked Chen Xiao to come to the Ministry of Rites?

He just wanted to cry!

However, for other officials, it was a good thing that Chen Xiao went to the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is a clear yamen, and it is all about etiquette. Overall, the power is really not very good.

Unlike the Ministry of Revenue, it is related to national finance and various people's livelihood!

To put it bluntly, in the officialdom, it really has little impact on other officials.

"In addition, all my dear ministers, this time, the prince of the Eagle Kingdom came to Long Kingdom. Everyone should know the purpose. They came to the letter of state a few months ago and wanted to propose marriage to my daughter."

As soon as the emperor said this, many people immediately looked at Chen Xiao.

Because the prince of the Eagle Kingdom wanted to propose marriage to the Ninth Princess.

Thinking about it again, the emperor actually asked Chen Xiao to receive his rival in love?

What does this mean?

Everyone couldn't help but guess whether it was the emperor who wanted the prince of the Eagle Kingdom to dispel Chen Xiao's idea of ​​marrying Long Jiuling, or was he planning to use Chen Xiao to stop the prince of the Eagle Kingdom from proposing to marry Long Jiuling?

Chen Xiao had no expression on his face.

He didn't care what the other party was, because no matter who it was, he didn't want to compete with him for a woman!

After the morning court, Chen Xiao took the official seal and went directly to the Ministry of Rites!

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Ministry of Rites, all the officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly became nervous.

Chen Xiao arrived at the hall of the Ministry of Rites and met the Minister of Rites and the two ministers, and bowed: "The officials have met three lords!"

How dare the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Right and Right Ministers be negligent?

They quickly bowed and were quite polite to Chen Xiao!

After all, this person destroyed the Ministry of Revenue yesterday. His Majesty is still discussing with the Prime Minister about which officials to go to the Ministry of Revenue.

"Dragon Zhong Chen, from now on, the head and guest office will be handed over to your good officials!" said the Minister of Rites.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, sir, the host and guest office will definitely be managed by the subordinates."

The head of the Ministry of Rites is the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, and the deputy is the Minister of the Right and Right.

There are four departments below, namely the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Ceremony, the Ministry of Food, and the Ministry of Host and Guest Department!

The first three departments are related to various ritual schools, including tribute, rituals, music, sacrifices and other matters.

Chen Xiao’s host and guest office is related to diplomacy.

That is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

In this way, if you go to another country to receive envoys from other countries, it is Chen Xiao who is in charge of him.

Before, when receiving the king of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, the head of the Ministry of Rites was in charge.

At this moment, after Chen Xiao said a few words to the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites asked someone to take Chen Xiao to the host and guest office.

After seeing Chen Xiao leave, the Minister of Rites breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This kid, let's try not to mess with him. If you make any trouble in the Ministry of Rites, it will be trouble."

"Our Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui Yamen, and there is no corruption. The officials are also very idle and will not provoke him!" said the right assistant minister.

...

At this moment, after Chen Xiao arrived at the host and guest office, the huge hall of the clothing department was his office.

Behind a wooden table, a chair is placed.

Chen Xiao walked over and sat down, took a deep breath, thinking that the higher the official, the better the treatment.

After sitting for a while, he planned to learn about the situation of the host and guest departments, so he said:

"Come!"

After the words fell, no one was there for a while.

He shouted again: "Come!"

However, no one came!

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied!
Chapter completed!
