Chapter 74: The ruler is the guide of the ministers

The annual leave has been taken.

Qin Shaoyou did not show too much worries. When he returned to Ruchun Restaurant, he still joked with Qin Shou and Deng Jian.

As time goes by, Qin Shou and Deng Jian have their flaws, they are also loyal in the market. At least they do not have the income from the restaurant. Qin Shaoyou can match this from the accounts.

Sitting at home for two days, the end of the year has finally arrived.

The Chinese New Year was very simple at this time, it was just a bustling place in the Confucian Temple. Qin Shaoyou and Deng Jian went there once. There were crowds of people everywhere, including rods, lion dancers, plates, and jars. Pedros along the street were selling food. In this era, men and women were not strictly defended, so many young women appeared, which was also a landscape.

The next day was the day of Yuan Dynasty, which was the day of sacrifice. The Qin family has lived here for generations and is also close to Luoyang City. However, they don’t walk often and are unfamiliar. But even so, on this day, they still have to gather together. An old lady from the Qin family was led by a family that prepared sheep, the family prepared incense and candles, and then worshiped their ancestors.

When Qin Shaoyou was a nerd, he was in a mess in the clan. Now he has become an official and many relatives have come to recognize him. However, he has always been in school, so many tribe members actually deal with Qin Shou. This time, he was led by Qin Shou to visit many elders in the clan.

At night, the three brothers hid in an empty restaurant to have a drink. Qin Shaoyou didn't know how much he drank or scolded him. Until he woke up early the next morning, washed up, straightened his clothes, wearing a new green robe, and a silver turtle tied around his waist, preparing to enter the palace to congratulate him. However, before leaving, he looked at Qin Shou meaningfully and said, "This restaurant is the hard work of my father. Cousin, I'll ask you for it."

Qin Shou smiled and said, "Don't my cousin always stays there? Don't worry... Well, cousin, you have something to say."

Qin Shaoyou pursed his lips and said in silence for a moment: "It's nothing, I'm leaving."

…………

The majestic Wu Zemen gate is wide open, and this palace gate is never allowed to enter or exit. Today, in the atmosphere of this festival, the corner building is decorated with lights and the gate is open, and hundreds of thousands of officials in Luoyang City are entering in one after another.

Qin Shaoyou was in the crowd. When he arrived here, someone greeted him. This person was an old acquaintance of Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou stepped forward and bowed, "You have met Shangshu Wu."

This person is Wu Zetian's nephew, Wu Chengsi, the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Wu Chengsi had a little good impression of Qin Shaoyou, but he just said hello. He thought Qin Shaoyou was too arrogant, and he thought Qin Shaoyou nodded at most. After all, although Wu Chengsi had a high position and was only famous, he was not very good. Qin Shaoyou was a clear stream official, so he always had to pay attention to some influence.

But now Qin Shaoyou came to the front in person and greeted him. This surprised Wu Chengsi and he couldn't help but nod: "I heard that you have done a great job in the Four Sects."

Qin Shaoyou blinked at him and said very well: "Master Wu, learning four subjects is not a big deal."

"Oh?" Wu Chengsi smiled.

This is the case with chatting. He was just nodding to Qin Shaoyou, and he was not familiar with it. In theory, even if Qin Shaoyou stepped forward, he just exchanged a few plain greetings and then everyone parted ways. However, Qin Shaoyou's words easily attracted him to talk deeply. He couldn't help but say, "It's not a big deal that shocked the two capitals?"

Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "It may be calculated now, but it may not be forgotten after today, because today's officials have to do something bigger!"

Wu Chengsi cheered up and came to worship during the New Year. One stop might take a whole day. This is a fatal thing, but after Qin Shaoyou said this, he was looking forward to today: "Is that right? Then I will wait and see."

Qin Shaoyou suddenly lowered his voice: "However, the official has something to ask, can you help me?"

Wu Chengsi said: "What are you helping?"

Qin Shaoyou lowered his voice and quietly said something to Wu Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi frowned and looked at Qin Shaoyou with a smile: "Why do I have to help you?" This is the truth. Wu Chengsi is neither a model worker, and he can only have a relationship with Qin Shaoyou. Why should he help?

Qin Shaoyou smiled slightly and said, "Whether to help or not depends on the lord. The subordinate officials are just requests. It's getting late, and the subordinate officials have entered the palace."

After saying that, he ignored Wu Chengsi and walked into the corridor with the long dragon.

He was not worried about Wu Chengsi at all because he knew that Wu Chengsi would help. This was not because he had an unscathing friendship with Wu Chengsi. There was only one reason. When a person was curious, he would not be able to help but want to know what would happen below.

The long line went straight to the Vientiane Temple.

The Wanxiang Temple is 300 feet high and 100 meters high, no less than the thirty-story high-rise buildings in later generations, and is also 300 feet in size. It is extremely large in scale. Even Qin Shaoyou was shocked by this magnificent building. As everyone entered the hall, the area created by the cylinders was even more amazing. Not to mention these nearly a thousand officials, I was afraid that more people would come, and they would never be crowded.

There is a jade step facing north and south, with a silver case on it. After the case, Wu Zetian was wearing a crown on his head, wearing a crown robe, looking down at the ministers high above, while Shangguan Wan'er and other female officials stood behind him, each of them graceful.

The voices of the officials echoed in the hall, and then the congratulations were held.

Since it was a congratulation, we naturally could not be hasty. First, several royal princes came forward, then Princess Taiping, and then the prime ministers of the three provinces, one by one, racked their brains and said all kinds of auspicious words.

Qin Shaoyou stood here, and he clearly saw Shangguan Wan'er's eyes wandering around the crowd. When she saw her, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually smiled at herself.

Qin Shaoyou responded to her coldly. At some point, it was finally his turn, the little straight man. He walked step by step to the hall and then bowed. There was no need to kneel three times and nine times in this era. In ordinary times, the emperor and the ministers would sit down each other. As for etiquette, it was nothing more than bowing. After the ceremony, he straightened his back and looked at Wu Zetian in the distance. His voice began to echo in the hall: "The Holy Emperor ruled the world, and today is peaceful, and the beginning of the new year is a happy congratulation."

There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but after the words were finished, many people were stunned.

Because Qin Shaoyou's first half of the sentence is considered congratulations, but the second half has a feeling of not being finished, as if he had not finished a sentence and suddenly stopped.

But why did this guy pause?

Wu Zetian's face was as calm as a pool of autumn water. She didn't say anything, but just listened with her ears.

Qin Shaoyou did say: "Today is the day of Zhengyuan. I am here to congratulate the Holy Emperor on all his blessings, but I can't help but feel a little regretful."

Buzz...

The Wanxiang Temple, which was just now, was suddenly in an uproar.

Damn, this guy is crazy.

Wu Zetian suddenly realized that she looked at Qin Shaoyou from afar, and obviously did not expect that such an episode would appear on this boring day.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing behind her, frowned. She didn't know how many times she thought Qin Shaoyou was a madman, but this time, she felt that Qin Shaoyou was not only crazy, but also had no cure.

Qin Shaoyou's tone was so calm that he said, "The sage said, "The so-called king, minister, minister, father, son, son. Today, the minister congratulated Your Majesty as a minister, and said sincerely. This is because the king is the subject of the minister and the father is the subject of the son, so this is the duty of the minister. The identity of the minister is the subject of the Holy Emperor, but also the son of the father. Therefore, yesterday, the minister worshiped his father. These are nothing more than the duty of loyalty to those who are ministers and filial to those who are sons."

Starting today, two updates every day, this is not a demand for credit, ahem, this is atonement. Tiger's books are open one by one, and the old books are not finished, and the new books are released. To be honest, it is indeed a bit tiring, so it has caused many problems. For example, the new book is not updated well, and the old book is still there, so it is inevitably brought into the new book, which has been criticized by many book friends. It is really ashamed to say, well, let's change your mind, nothing to say. I am very grateful to those book friends who support Tiger, and also to those book friends who correct Tiger. Tiger continues to cheer.
