Chapter 280 Qin Chi was promoted again

At the right moment, a military officer stepped forward and said in a gruff voice, "Your Majesty, I don't understand the civil officials' twists and turns, but what this kid said is very pitiful. He is the number one scholar appointed by you personally, and someone is jealous of him. Isn't it that they want to make things difficult for you? This matter must be severely punished."

"Yes! If they don't punish him severely, every time Your Majesty appoints an official, they will make trouble for him. Is that reasonable?" Another military officer stood up to support him.

Civil officials have always looked down on military officials.

Military officers also look down on civil officials because they are weak and know a lot of principles but do very little human work.

Civil and military officials have never been in harmony.

Suddenly a military officer stood up to get involved in the matter, which was quite surprising. What was even more surprising was that the military officers started talking one after another, as if they were setting up a stage to satirize the civil officials for being cunning, doing nothing all day long, and yet acting so arrogantly.

Some people began to wonder why a group of rough guys suddenly spoke well of Qin Chi.

Later, I felt something was not right when listening to it.

Good fellow! These military officers were not speaking well of Qin Chi, they were trying to flatter the civil officials in front of the emperor.

Strangely, Emperor Mingcheng did not say a word.

It makes me feel happy to hear it.

Emperor Mingcheng looked at the cabinet ministers standing beside him and asked, "What do you think, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, you should thoroughly investigate this matter. If it is true, you must not tolerate it." Seeing that the others were silent, Lord Yang stepped forward and said.

Then the Minister of Rites also stood up and asked Qin Chi: "Qin Qi'an, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"some."

Qin Chi took out a stack of manuscripts from his sleeve pocket. "These are all left behind when Mao Shidu made mistakes at work. He made every mistake. He didn't want to correct them. I can only re-copy them myself and send them to the emperor. The authenticity can be verified by checking Wenyuan Pavilion."

Everyone understands this.

In fact, it is not difficult to investigate, the handwriting of the articles is different.

It is clear at a glance who did the work.

The eunuch came down, took the manuscript and handed it to Emperor Mingcheng for review.

In fact, Emperor Mingcheng and some ministers knew very well whether Qin Chi lied or not, but some things were one thing to know in private, but could not be said openly.

Qin Chi was very popular in the Imperial College, so Emperor Mingcheng remembered him. After he won the first place in the imperial examination, he was even more impressed. But when he was selected as the first place in the imperial examination, this guy sued Yuan Shangshu.

What a disappointment!

Emperor Ming Cheng deliberately promoted Qin Chi.

I want to suppress his arrogance.

He was waiting for him to make mistakes in his official position and be bullied by others, and then demote him to his original position and reuse him after two or three years. He even talked to his trusted eunuchs about this, just waiting to see what would happen to Qin Chi.

Unexpected.

Qin Chi persisted day after day.

A month passed, and he was still as steady as a rock. He did not go to anyone to complain, but only gave half a pound of pepper to Yan Xianqing.

Emperor Mingcheng has been on the throne for more than 20 years. He is used to seeing ministers who are cunning and play tricks on others. Among these people, Qin Chi is like a white lotus that is not stained by dust, and is particularly clean and conspicuous.

It didn't take long for people who went to the Hanlin Academy to find out the truth.

Mao Shaojie was not popular in the Hanlin Academy, and there were many colleagues who took advantage of his misfortune. No, they were just telling the truth and did not dare to disobey the emperor's order.

Emperor Ming Cheng said angrily: "Mao Shaojie should be dismissed from his post and investigated. He should be dragged out and beaten with 50 canes. There is no need to hold back. It will be done as long as you are able."

The emperor's order came out.

Two imperial guards entered the hall and carried Mao Shaojie out, one on the left and one on the right.

Mao Shaojie was so scared that his face turned pale and he begged for mercy again and again, but no one stood up to plead for him.

After the people were dragged out, the hall finally became quiet again.

Emperor Mingcheng looked at Qin Chi who was still kneeling. "Your Excellency Qin has been wronged this time, but I have also discovered your great talent. It is a bit of a waste for you to stay in the Hanlin Academy. The Ministry of Works is short of staff. You can go to the Ministry of Works and serve as a doctor in the Yuheng Qingli Division."

Another promotion? No one expected Emperor Chengdi to do this.

This method of promotion is completely against the norm.

But in recent years, few people dared to refute the decisions of Emperor Mingcheng. The ministers who dared to challenge him either retired or had grass growing on their graves.

"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace."

Qin Chi kowtowed again, "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty."

After he stepped back, the court meeting continued.

The eunuch who led Qin Chi out looked back at the palace gate and congratulated Qin Chi, "Congratulations, Sir Qin, you have been promoted again today."

"Thank you. Last time I said I would treat you to a drink, but I haven't fulfilled my promise yet." Qin Chi joked with a smile.

Jixiang said cheerfully: "There will be a chance in the future."

A patrolling group of imperial guards came towards them.

They both shut up at the right time.

Wait until the imperial guards pass by.

Jixiang added: "Your Excellency, when you take up your post at the Ministry of Works, you must be careful and cautious, and don't let yourself be bullied again."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

Qin Chi said gratefully, "For the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty, I will do my best to live up to your majesty's expectations."

"Lord Qin is thoughtful. His Majesty will be happy if he knows it." Eunuch Jixiang just wanted to say that Lord Qin was too young. He didn't dare to guess the emperor's thoughts, but he also knew that his majesty had no good intentions.

The Ministry of Works is the territory of Minister Yuan.

Letting Qin Chi work in the Ministry of Industry is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, isn't that like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

At present, Minister Yuan is still reflecting at home, but it does not mean that he has lost control of the Ministry of Works. It would be easy for him to trip up a newly appointed doctor.

Jixiang felt sympathy for Qin Chi.

With Qin Chi's intelligence, how could he not understand?

The Ministry of Works was led by the Minister of Works of the second rank, and the Left and Right Assistant Ministers of Works of the third rank. Then there were four departments under it, and the head of each department was a doctor.

The Yuheng Qinglisi was one of the four departments, abbreviated as Yuhengsi, which was responsible for supervising the collection and smelting work in mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, and the production of military uniforms and weapons.

Qin Chi's position in the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor of the junior fifth rank and as a doctor of the full fifth rank was indeed a promotion.

I went back to the Hanlin Academy.

Qin Chi thanked other colleagues who had helped him one by one, and said that he would treat everyone to a banquet after he received his monthly salary.

Some people learned that he also served as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works.

After Qin Chi left.

The people present had been holding it in for so long, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "Sometimes I don't know whether I should envy Mr. Qin or sympathize with him."

"I want to envy you, but..."

The man's eyelids twitched and he smiled meaningfully.

Those who should understand can understand.

Then everyone laughed and went about their own business.

Lu Bozhou poked Lu Yanji's elbow and asked, "What do you think about this?"

"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided." Lu Yanji also knew the grudge between Qin Chi and the Yuan family. "Your Majesty sent Qi'an to the Ministry of Works. I don't know what his intention is."

The Holy Heart is unpredictable, he cannot guess it.

Lu Bozhou whispered, "Shall we go to Cuihua Hutong later?"

"Okay, call me then."

Lu Yanji also wanted to ask Qin Chi to see if he could help.
