Empress work daily

Chapter 42
Qin Sangluo, who was hunched over, slowly raised his head, with a confused look on his face, obviously he didn't understand what Ji Qiang meant, and maybe he didn't hear her words clearly.

Shang Liujia couldn't help worrying that with Qin Sangluo's appearance now, he might no longer be the talented and ambitious former capital water envoy that Mr. Tang said.

"Lord Qin, what His Majesty means is that a big river canal is going to be built. Please serve as an imperial envoy to supervise all water affairs."

The person in front of him looked like a fool, and still didn't respond much.

Ji Qiang stepped back, took out a scroll about water conservancy and water affairs from the bookshelf, and said softly: "These are all Qin Qing's works."

"Compared with the predecessors, what Qin Qing said is not only detailed, but also more accurate."

"The reason why I was able to do the river basin sand table this time is all thanks to Qin Qing's writings."

Qin Sangluo's eyes began to brighten.

Ji Qiang seemed to have expected it, and continued: "I came to Zangshu Pavilion to look up books and historical materials, and I was able to quickly and accurately find what I needed every time. It must be Qin Qing's credit."

Until Tang Chongjian came to her, she thought that the national teacher was secretly guiding her, but now that she thinks about it, it is not.

"How did Your Majesty know that these books were written by sin slaves?"

Qin Sangluo finally spoke, but Ji Qiang was stunned by this opening. The voice obviously belonged to a young man.However, his appearance was already in his sixtieth year. Compared with the two, under the strong impact, Ji Qiang couldn't help turning his back.

"I read it twice and found that one of them has been slightly changed."

"At that time, I had doubts in my heart. Until today, Tang Chongjian recommended you to me and told me where you are. After thinking about it, I understood everything."

Immediately, Qin Sangluo's eyes lit up, his back no longer hunched, and his legs didn't shake anymore. Judging from his standing posture, he was very energetic. If you ignore his white hair and vicissitudes of life, he is a real young man man.

"Qin Qing has been waiting for me for a long time, and I hope Qin Qing will forgive me for being late."

Ji Qiang turned around and bowed to him.

Qin Sangluo panicked, saying "Your Majesty" was full of thousands of words and endless sadness...

Ji Qiang was also moved, resisting the soreness in his heart, and calmly said: "Qin Sangluo, listen to the order."

"The guilty minister Qin Sangluo listened to the decree and kowtowed to my emperor long live."

"From now on, Qin Sang will become Minister of the Ministry of Water, in charge of all water affairs in our dynasty."

The word "Ministry of Water" shocked Qin Sangluo. The Dushui Supervisor, who was in charge of the water affairs in Daliang, was always under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, but now he was pulled out to form a department of his own. , Xing Liubu, it can be seen how much His Majesty attaches importance to water affairs.

In fact, Ji Qiang didn't expect that she would suddenly make such an order. Before coming here, at most, she planned to let Qin Sang resign from office and return to her post. When she saw her suffering face, she felt endless feelings towards her mother's behavior at the first sight. the chill.

Such a decision is to make amends and to atone for her mother.

However, she also deeply understood that Qin Sangluo was worth it.

……

When Ji Qiang returned to Yangyuan Hall, he immediately drafted an order and ordered Shang Liujia to send it to the Ministry of Officials to seal it.

Jiang Yousi seemed to be waiting for this moment. Originally, he recommended Qin Sangluo to His Majesty through Tang Chongjian's mouth. Aspirations can be regarded as keeping the clouds and seeing the moon.

Jiang Yousi, who was about to use the seal, suddenly saw the word "Shuibu" and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

What is the Ministry of Water?

He asked himself to be in charge of the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the assessment, appointment and removal, promotion and transfer of officials of all sizes, but he had never heard of such a functional department as the Ministry of Water.

Your Majesty, this is another "official"?

So should this chapter be covered or not?
Jiang Yousi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked to be under the tutor of the state teacher. Jiang Jian only gave one sentence: All court affairs are subject to His Majesty.

Backed up by the teacher's words, Jiang Yousi stamped his seal without hesitation, and when the six ministries were known, the original plaque on the yamen of the Dushui Supervisor had been replaced with the word "Water Ministry".

However, on the first day Qin Sangluo took office, the whole capital was flooded by raging rumors.

Da Liang's dignified Minister of the Ministry of Water is actually a handicapped person.The specific details of where and how they are missing are all embellished and compiled into jingles, operas, and storytelling, which are spread in streets and alleys, theaters, restaurants, and studies.In this way, the most unspeakable pain in Qin Sangluo's life became the talk of people after dinner.

"I'm so dignified that there is no one in the Liang Dynasty, and I let an eunuch be the minister!"

"That's right, I don't know what His Majesty thinks, after all, you are young..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, speaking falsely about the emperor is a serious crime of beheading."

"What are you afraid of? The law does not punish the public. You didn't hear everyone say that."

"..."

"Eunuchs can be ministers, hey, tell me, how about a servant like me?"

"Don't, what kind of servant should you be? If His Majesty likes you, maybe you can get a noble servant."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qin Sangluo sat in a carriage and walked around the streets and alleys. He could hear such rebellious and foul language everywhere, and his heart that had just surfaced gradually sank.

……

Yangyuan Hall.

After hearing similar remarks, Ji Qiang trembled with anger.

"Where are the soldiers and horses of the five cities? Let them arrest people! See one and arrest one, and those who resist arrest will be executed immediately on the spot!"

Chu Lingxiao showed embarrassment. On the one hand, he knew that these were His Majesty's angry words. On the other hand, there was no one in the yamen of the soldiers and horses in the five cities right now. All the commanders, deputy commanders, and small soldiers and generals were going to reinforce it. The city is defended.

What's even more ridiculous is that those who really had nowhere to go were all "assigned" to the watchtower, and the watchtower, which had been ignored for many years, suddenly became a favorite.

"Where is the Jingzhao Yamen? Rumors are spreading all over the sky, and the second-rank officials of the imperial court have been slandered. Are they also blind?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, only a few arresters led the arresters to the street to drive out people, but they only drove away those who gathered to discuss, but did not arrest people. Those who spread the word were dispersed, and they changed to another street in a blink of an eye, as usual."

"Jing Zhaoyin is also a cunning old man." It was rare for Chu Lingxiao to comment on someone, but this time, he was really angry.

They all know who the instigator is and what impact the other party will have.However, this incident is different from the ransacking of the Changping Houfu's house. No matter what the rumormongers say or do, the Changping Houfu is always corrupt and accepting bribes.

Qin Sang fell to him, it is true that his body is incomplete, and according to the regulations of Daliang, he is indeed not qualified to be an official, let alone Minister of the Ministry of Water.

……

Qin Sangluo rode for a day in a carriage, tired of listening, and had enough, he immediately resigned from office when he returned to the yamen.

Ji Qiang got the resignation document and tore it into pieces without even reading it.Before Qin Sangluo could react, he dragged him towards the Wencheng Pavilion.

The national teacher has already left the customs, and she decided to properly resolve Qin Sangluo's worries today.
