Chapter 371 Minister of the Ministry of Industry


    Qin Chi took leave to stay at home and declined visitors.


    The reason for asking for leave was that his wife and children were frightened, and he stayed at home to comfort her. In fact, Qin Chi used his vacation time to order people to find where the late prince and Mr. Yan were hiding. The other party attacked his wife and children again, which seriously touched Qin Chi''s bottom line.


    He even used Li Huarong''s hand to send the so-called suicide note written by Mr. Yang Ge to the court of Emperor Ming Cheng, and asked someone to give the former prince eye drops in front of Emperor Ming Cheng, and then sold him miserably.


    "Where did you get this letter?"


    Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty asked Li Huarong.


    Li Huarong said truthfully: "I don''t know who handed it over. Someone handed it over directly to the concierge. When I asked the concierge who gave it to him, he couldn''t tell clearly. He just said it was a little beggar."


    Emperor Mingcheng didn''t ask again, and he didn''t know whether he believed it or not.


    Li Huarong added: "I can''t tell whether it''s true or false. I can only see some similarities with Yang Zhengkai''s handwriting. I can''t tell whether it''s true or false."


    "He wrote it."


    After decades of being a king and minister, Emperor Ming Cheng was familiar with handwriting. He put down the letter and changed the question, "Yesterday, Qin Qi''an''s wife and children encountered gangsters. Today, he asked for leave and said he wanted to stay at home to appease his wife and children?"


    Li Huarong raised his head and glanced at Emperor Mingcheng quickly.


    He didn''t seem to be angry, but he was still alert at all.


    Li Huarong said in a pitiful tone: "Qin Shaoqing is probably afraid. Your Majesty, think about it. He himself has been assassinated over and over again, and now he, his wife and children are also being viciously retaliated against."


    Emperor Ming Cheng''s face darkened, "Can Li Ai Liao guess who is taking revenge on him?"


    "I don''t know. I think Qin Shaoqing may have ruined someone''s good deeds or hindered someone''s eyes, which made people eager to get rid of him." Li Huarong spoke calmly, and looked up again in the middle of speaking. He glanced at Emperor Ming Cheng.


    The timing of this glance is very particular.


    It seems to be saying that Qin Chi was targeted everywhere and was implicated by Emperor Mingcheng.


    This is invisibly telling Emperor Mingcheng.


    Qin Chi had a grudge against the former prince, so he would be maliciously retaliated against, which indirectly reassured Emperor Ming Cheng.


    At the same time, he reminded Emperor Ming Cheng that Qin Chi was a minister he personally promoted, and it would inevitably touch the interests of some people. Under his eyes, if he wants to promote a minister and be tolerated by others, and even his life is not guaranteed, this is undoubtedly a slap in Emperor Ming Cheng''s face.


    Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty sent Li Huarong away impatiently.


    He picked up Mr. Yang Ge''s suicide note and read it.


    "Jixiang, do you think this letter may be related to Qin Qian?" Emperor Mingcheng suddenly spoke.


    Jixiang''s heart pounded, and his head dropped lower, "I don''t know."


    Only to hear Emperor Mingcheng say again: "His wife came to the capital last night, and today this letter came to my case. The timing is too coincidental. Others don''t know, and I still don''t know the identity of his wife. However, He is willing to take credit for such a big achievement, but can I safely use such a person? "


    A person who gives up his own interests is either a fool, or he has a bigger agenda. And Qin Qi''an was able to reach the sixth level, which is obviously a smart person, and he is still the kind of top smart person.


    "I don''t understand this matter. I only know that those who can relieve Your Majesty''s worries are good people. Those who cause trouble for Your Majesty, I hate them." Ji Xiang said this to please.


    It made Emperor Mingcheng laugh.


    The matter related to Song Jin''s life experience was naturally investigated by the Jin Yiwei. Emperor Ming Cheng also knew clearly about the donation of tens of thousands of stones of food to the Northwest Army not long ago.


    Not only Jifang, Shun''an Trading Company is also in the investigation.


    A quick glance behind Shun''an Trading Company revealed that it was related to the military.


    Because most of the caravans formed by Shun''an were soldiers who had retired from the army, and the workshops built by Shun''an were mostly made up of disabled soldiers and family members of the hired army. The owner behind Shun''an Trading Company is said to be an Huizhou merchant, who is mainly engaged in the Four Treasures of the Study, and has formed more than a dozen caravans to do business across the country. According to Jin Yiwei''s investigation, Shun''an Trading Company was backed by the Northwest Army, and behind it was Prince Rui''s Mansion.


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


    Later, when he thought that Shun''an Trading Company was established and Qin Chi was only about ten years old at the time, Emperor Ming Cheng no longer had any doubts. Besides, he had the eyes to see what Qin Chi had done since he became an official in the court.


    "Jixiang, come and grind the ink for me. I can''t let the hero''s heart bleed."


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


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


    The Qin family hurriedly set up the incense table, then took a bath and burned incense. The family came to the front courtyard to receive the order.


    The person who came to deliver the message was Eunuch Jixiang.


    Jixiang saw with his own eyes that the imperial edict was written by Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty. After stamping the emperor''s seal, he immediately asked him to announce the edict.


    With a solemn face, he slowly opened the imperial edict and read loudly: "The Emperor''s edict!"


    "My only way to achieve peace is to recruit virtuous people in simple ways to support the state affairs. Qin Qi''an, the young minister of Dali Temple, has both talent and virtue, strict conduct, and achievements in his previous posts. I am very happy."


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


    "Today I am promoting you to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry to show your ability. You should be loyal and loyal to support the state affairs and do not betray my trust. During your tenure at the Ministry of Industry, you should work hard to govern, build water conservancy, develop farming, and consolidate the country. It’s up to you to encourage me…”


    "You can take office immediately without any further delay."


    "Appreciate this!"


    When the last one fell, the whole place was silent.


    After a long time, Qin Chi came to his senses first, quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness, shouted long live, raised his hands above his head, and took the imperial edict from Ji Xiang''s hand. In addition, there are official residence deeds specially gifted by the emperor. After all, after you get promoted, you have to have a place to live.


    Ji Xiang helped Qin Chi up weakly and said with a smile: "Master Qin, congratulations."


    "Thank you, father-in-law."


    Qin Chi secretly took the purse that Song Jin put into his hand, and then used the gesture of shaking hands to stuff it into Ji Xiang''s palm.


    This money can be obtained with peace of mind.


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


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


    The imperial decree needs to be enshrined in the ancestral hall, but in a big house, the first thing to do is to move. In fact, when Song Jin came back from Huizhou this time, he also discovered that the current house was not enough.


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


    Sanlang''s face was red with excitement and his eyes were astonishingly bright. He stared at the imperial edict and was a little incoherent. "I, Sanlang, saw the imperial edict with my own eyes today. No, no, I even accepted the edict. Uh-huh, no, no, it was my eldest brother who received the edict. I will accompany you to receive it." That’s it, I’m done now, hahaha.”


    The boy was dancing with joy.


    Qin Chi directly stuffed the imperial edict into his arms, "Hey, let me touch it again and enjoy His Majesty''s blessing."


    "Is it really possible? Is it possible?"


    Sanlang held the imperial edict and did not dare to move.


    He held the imperial edict in whatever posture Qin Chi gave him. It seemed that if he moved more, he would be disrespecting the imperial edict.
