Chapter 315 The Great Court Meeting


    Another visitor came to the house.


    The kitchen prepared a few more dishes to go with the wine.


    Qin Ba went to the warehouse and took out a jar of highland barley wine.


    Qin Chi personally poured a bowl of wine for Dong Xingde, "The highland barley wine from Tianyoude Winery is said to be brewed with water from ancient wells. A sip of it is fragrant, mellow, sweet and refreshing, and it has a really long aftertaste."


    "Heh, you said it before you even drank?"


    Dong Xingde''s mouth is a bit poisonous.


    Qin Chi paused even as he poured the wine, "Is it okay if I drank it before?"


    Dong Xingde didn''t answer this.


    I just picked up the wine and took a sip, then took another sip and savored it carefully. It had the taste that Qin Chi said.


    After a few bowls of wine, Dong Xingde got a little excited and said, "Qin Qi''an, to be honest, I really envy you."


    Qin Chi asked: "Why do you envy me?"


    "I envy you for your officialdom." Dong Xingde''s voice was a little heavy. "You have gone so smoothly. I have been working for more than four years, but I am still sitting on the bench. There is almost no hope."


    "Are you ambitious?"


    Qin Chi suddenly asked, "Have you ever carefully gone to camp? Or are you just sitting in your original position, waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?"


    Dong Xingde''s face froze.


    Qin Chi''s tone was calm, neither impatient nor impatient, "I don''t know much about Brother Dong''s years in the Hanlin Academy, but I know that if you want to move forward, you not only need an opportunity, but you also need to have the will."


    "That heart?"


    Dong Xingde thinks he has that intention.


    But no one gave him a chance to climb up!


    Qin Chi dare not say that he has read countless people.


    Qin Chi knew very well what Dong Xingde''s mentality was.


    Isn''t it just that talent is not appreciated? If you feel that you have won the top prize, you will inevitably show some aloofness when getting along with others. There are also some shortcomings in the matter of human relations.


    But people do have talents and learning.


    After serving as an official in the court for four years, it is difficult to say whether he can still retain his bottom line and original intention. If he continues to be depressed like this, it is difficult to say.


    When they met today, Qin Chi discovered that Dong Xingde''s mentality was unstable.


    Qin Chi thought of the kindness shown by the other party when he first arrived at the Hanlin Academy, so he didn''t mind mentioning a few words: "Scholars like to be noble, but people who get along with you may not like them. Frankly speaking, I just said When I arrived at the Hanlin Academy, I heard other people commenting on Mr. Dong, saying that you are not easy to get along with. "


    He picked up the wine jar and poured another cup for Dong Xingde.


    "I haven''t been with you for a long time. I know that you have a bad temper, but you are very principled in your actions." Qin Chi brought back Dong Xingde''s dark expression with one sentence.


    Dong Xingde knows what outsiders say about him, but that doesn''t mean he likes to be said to his face.


    Qin Chi said calmly: "I regard you as a friend, and I have a heart-to-heart talk with you today. As the saying goes, cultivating one''s self, harmonizing one''s family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world, self-cultivation must first reflect on it. The way of introspection is like tea in a pot, removing the turbidity. Clear, get rid of disease and become healthy.”


    Dong Xingde had a dark look on his face.


    He just said something to ask him to go back and reflect?


    If he had known how to reflect in these years, would he still be depressed and frustrated today?


    "Look at your face. You don''t like it when I mention self-reflection. You think you have a good temper, don''t you? It''s their fault that others don''t give you a chance, and you don''t have the slightest fault on your own?" Qin Chi pulled up a chair and sat next to Dong Xingde.


    He slapped Dong Xingde on the shoulder.


    The intensity is not small.


    Qin Chi sneered and said: "Stop your anger, I suggest you look in the mirror more often and see if you have any magnanimity around you now that you should have. The rules you have learned have not trapped others. On the contrary, they have He trapped himself in it strictly."


    Dong Xingde''s eyes suddenly widened.


    This stepped directly on his sore spot.


    He was stunned for a long time, and finally stood up, smelling of alcohol, and bowed deeply to Qin Chi, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your advice today."


    "I didn''t mention anything."


    Qin Chi refused to admit it and pulled him to sit down again, "I can''t stay in the Hanlin Academy any longer, so I will try my best to find a job in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple."


    Dong Xingde has such a bad temper.


    Xingbu and Dali Temple are indeed good places to visit.


    Once you go there, it''s not unusual for others to keep a straight face. Qin Chi didn''t know that what he said today would change the rest of Dong Xingde''s life and make him remember it for a lifetime. Whenever he encounters a setback, he will recall what Qin Chi said today, and then start to reflect. As a result, the number one scholar who was once ridiculed got out of the predicament, and his official career became bigger and bigger.


    Besides, Qin Chi is resting at home for a few days.


    Finally arrived at the Great Court Meeting.


    Qin Chi got up early and tidied himself up.


    Song Jin asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast early.


    After breakfast, Qin Chi took the memorial and the so-called letter of thanks to go out.


    "Take this with you." Song Jin stuffed a few pieces of peach pastry into a purse and put it in Qin Chi''s hand. "I''m afraid it''s not going to be peaceful today. I may not be able to go to court at noon."


    Qin Chi wanted to say that if he brought this with him, he might not be able to eat it in the main hall.


    However, he would accept the lady''s wishes.


    Qin Chi hung the pouch containing peach cakes on his waist.


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    When he came to the palace and met his officials, he always smelled the fragrance of peach cakes. They did not suspect that Qin Chi had peach cakes on him, but they suspected that he had eaten peach cakes this morning.


    It is a serious time to go to court, so no one will say much.


    Everyone''s attention was not on the so-called peach cake fragrance, but on the small volume of silk book Qin Chi brought.


    Everyone who is well informed knows this.


    This silk book was written by the people of Taihu to thank Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.


    Xia Wei stood in front, turned around and glanced at Qin Chi.


    Yuan Shangshu, Yang Gelao and others also looked back at Qin Chi one by one. They had high positions and positions listed in the main hall, which were much higher than Qin Chi''s.


    And they turned back.


    Naturally, everyone in front of Qin Chi turned around and glanced at Qin Chi.


    So, the court meeting has not started yet.


    Qin Chi attracted all the attention, making his eyelids jump.


    "Go to court!"


    "The Emperor has arrived!"


    Following the eunuch''s shrill voice, Emperor Mingcheng slowly stepped into the throne, his dragon robe golden and majestic.


    The courtiers, dressed in official robes, knelt down and shouted long live.


    After Emperor Ming Cheng said he was relieved, the courtiers stood up and retreated to their respective positions to stand solemnly.


    The **** in charge of the ceremony loudly said: "If there is something to do, we will start to report, if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court!"


    Waited for quite a while.


    No minister came forward.


    Emperor Ming Cheng looked at Qin Chi with a vague look.


    Qin Chi understood the idea, stepped forward, bowed his head and saluted, and said in a straight tone: "Your Majesty, the humble minister Qin Qi''an was ordered to provide disaster relief. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his mission. The people are grateful for God''s grace and specially presented a silk book to express their sincerity."


    "Okay, okay, bring it up!"


    Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was very happy.


    Qin Chi raised the silk book above his head.


    The imperial **** came over, took the silk book with both hands, and then bowed and presented the silk book to Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.


    At the instruction of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty, 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 on this errand! Very good!"


    Qin Chi said modestly: "It is the duty of a humble minister to share your Majesty''s worries."


    "It''s a matter of one''s duty. If everyone thinks like you do, why should I, the Great Xia Dynasty, be unhappy?" Emperor Ming Cheng sighed with a smile.


    It would be better not to say this.


    Qin Chi''s mouth twitched.


    At this moment, he had reasonable suspicion that Emperor Ming Cheng wanted to punish him. Are you so eager to put him on the fire?
