Chapter 117 Why not drown yourself?
Song Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't he a certain young prince?"
"Young prince?" Zhao Huan, who has a strong aura, showed a hint of ridicule on his cold face, "He is the prince's grandfather. He is seventy-two years old this year and the Northern Qi Emperor who has just abdicated."
Song Yu looked stunned: "Is this mother crazy?"
Zhao Qingyi on the side was also dumbfounded and couldn't help but said: "How shameless is the old immortal?"
Zhao Huandao: "So Song Yu, I know the reason why you don't want to go to the Ministry of Rites."
"But I can tell you with certainty that if someone dares to humiliate you, you will fight back hard; if someone makes trouble with you because of Ye Sanniang..."
"Just kill it with one sword!"
"Including some weaklings in the Ministry of Rites."
"I... and daddy are here to support you!"
"Originally, if it was just my father, it wouldn't be easy to arrange for someone to go in suddenly. It's rare that Chen Shangshu will never forget you..."
"Actually, there is another reason. When you go there, you are helping me. Otherwise, I am really afraid that some people will..."
Zhao Huan sighed softly, and then a very stunning smile appeared on his cold and cold face: "We are friends, right?"
Song Yu nodded: "Of course, it is my honor to be the eldest princess's friend."
Zhao Huan said seriously: "You can just call me by my name."
After bidding farewell to the princess's residence, Song Yu was still thinking silently.
From the almost unreasonable favor when they met last time to the words spoken by the eldest princess now, it seems that this weak official who dare not go to the Northern Expedition in the eyes of the outside world is actually not like the legend. Is he a very strong person?
Although the eldest princess was powerful and had a very high status, Song Yu didn't believe that she alone would dare to say such a thing.
There must be official will behind it.
Put a guy like him who is full of charlatanism and dares to kill with a sword at critical moments into the reception team of the Ministry of Etiquette, and then give such a clear explanation.
Why should he go to welcome guests?
This is obviously to let him go to the funeral of some people, right? !
"Is it possible that the official family really decided to have a conflict with Beiqi?"
What really made Song Yu sure was the imperial edict read out by the young eunuch who came with the officials from the Ministry of Rites the next morning!
It is not the kind of relatively casual handwriting, but an imperial edict with legal effect that has been reviewed and stamped by Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province, and finally stamped with a jade seal!
…
…
"The Emperor of Heaven has decreed that Song Yu, the silver-medal manager of the Third Division of the Demon Supervision Department, is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, diligent and benevolent. He has been promoted to Doctor Xuanzheng to welcome the special envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty..."
The moment he received the imperial edict, Song Yu was completely confused.
Are you getting promoted now?
Or in this incredible way? !
Doctor Xuan Zheng, who is in the fifth grade... and Yan Yan, the leader of Jianghu University of Science and Technology of the Demon Supervisor Division who has always wanted to dig a hole for himself, are they on the same level?
He is definitely not as good as Yan Yan in terms of position and power, but how old is he?
Nineteen-year-old genuine fifth grade!
Still a real senior military officer!
Also, what the hell is the position of the special envoy to the Northern Qi delegation?
If he was stuffed into the Ministry of Rites and welcomed as a member of the Northern Qi envoy, it was a secret slap in the face with the knife still hidden in the sheath, then with the appearance of this imperial edict, he was simply taking the knife out of the sheath and doing it openly and openly. Open your mouth left and right.
It's a naked mockery!
Look, the young man favored by Ye Sanniang, the bloodthirsty lady you hate and fear most in Northern Qi, has become a special envoy to welcome you!
The taunting effect is directly maxed out!
Song Yu was wondering, would the people in Beiqi know about this and explode it on the spot?
The key point is that this imperial edict was issued after being reviewed and signed by the three provinces.
In other words, the prime minister Chu Qinghui and his chief assistant who were hiding under the water were also aware of this matter and agreed to it!
"Song Xuanzheng, congratulations!"
The official from the Ministry of Rites who accompanied him to announce the decree was the same one from before, and he was accompanied by a young eunuch from the palace.
He had just read out the imperial edict, and now he was looking at Song Yu with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Song Xuanzheng! Congratulations to Special Envoy Song!"
Song Yu cupped his hands at the two of them. Jiang Lingyun, whose eyes widened and his chin almost dropped to the floor, invited the two to the living room to entertain them. He found an opportunity to call the eunuch out and stuffed him with a hundred taels of silver notes.
The other party accepted it with a smile, and then quietly revealed a piece of news to Song Yu.
"Song Xuanzheng, our family has been taken care of by the general manager since childhood. I have to tell you something."
The old man has peaches and plums all over the world!
Song Yu said politely: "Father-in-law, please speak."
"Xiangong Chu originally disagreed with this matter. He said that there is no precedent for Zhao to be promoted to a fifth-rank official immediately? The officials refuted it, saying that when the country was reorganized, which of those talented and capable people were there? Didn’t you reach the sky in one step? Let’s talk about Mr. Chu, did you rise to the top step by step?”
"The officials also said that Northern Qi has gone too far to bully others. An old and immortal emperor has repeatedly tried to attack my eldest princess. How can any of the weak scholars in the Ministry of Rites stop those wolves and tigers? Song Yu is different from ordinary people. He is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He came from a rough and shabby background, but he became famous in Shilin for his literary talent. If there is no need for such a person, my husband, can you find someone for me?"
This eunuch is very young, in his early twenties, and has a lively personality.
When speaking, his expressions are rich and his movements are slightly exaggerated. He has a small round face and looks quite cute.
Regardless of other considerations, Guan Jia's words are so sensible and touching.
A son-emperor with a weak national power, faced with repeated oppression and bullying from his overlord country, not only made his eldest daughter the eldest princess, but also faced huge pressure and refused his marriage proposal three times in a row.
After discovering a talent like Song Yu who had the ability to deal with the Northern Qi envoy, he immediately promoted and re-employed him without hesitation...
To be honest, this is really impeccable.
Some things that had puzzled him before became clearer.
The officials really wanted him to be a sharp blade.
After talking to Song Yu, the eunuch didn't stay too long and left with the officials from the Ministry of Rites.
And he will also report to the Ministry of Rites today.
Before that, he still planned to meet Su Chaoyun first and confirm with this real official confidant.
Making knives is in his basic interests, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But you can't express your feelings wrongly. What if you guess wrong?
As soon as he went out, he saw Yan Yan, the leader of Jianghu University of Science and Technology, walking towards him.
It can be seen that this boss seems to like to work alone.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites came over just now, including the eunuchs to read out the imperial edict, but they did not alert other departments of the Demon Supervision Department.
In the Supervision Section, only Jiang Lingyun and Sun Zhiping witnessed this with their own eyes.
Therefore, Yan Yan still didn't know that the young man in front of him, who was under 20 years old, had been upgraded several levels overnight.
From a seventh-grade Demon Supervisor Department official, he became a real senior military attaché, the same level as him.
The two of them came face to face, and Yan Yan frowned slightly, forming the character "Chuan".
He became angry when he saw this young and handsome face.
"Manager Song, I asked you to go to my place yesterday, why didn't you go?"
"The eldest princess came to see me for something, so she left early." Song Yu said lightly.
"If the eldest princess calls you, you can advance..." Yan Yan was stuck for a moment and looked at Song Yu with a look of disbelief on his face, "The eldest princess?"
Song Yu nodded.
Yan Yan was stunned for a moment.
How could a poor boy like Song Yu, who was born in the countryside... have any chance of intersecting with the eldest princess?
Not just any princess can be called the eldest princess. This is a very honorable title.
Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely to appear on a princess while the emperor is still alive.
Usually after the emperor dies, a new emperor succeeds to the throne. Through this canonization, the respected status of the princess is demonstrated.
Zhao Huan was the daughter of a government official. Although Zhao State had been rebuilt when she was born, the war was still raging.
He grew up in the army since he was a child, and he, Prince Zhao Qi and King Zhao Jun of Yan, followed the official family and wandered around.
The official family also doted on their daughter extremely.
Not long after Zhao Huan was born, he was given the title of "Shengde".
After "establishing the capital" of Lin'an Mansion, she was granted the title of eldest princess as the emperor's daughter, opened a separate government office, built a mansion, and granted the land of Mingzhou.
Real seal!
All taxes on a continent are handled by the eldest princess herself.
This kind of treatment, even for a prince who is named a one-word prince, will only be received after he is named a prince.
And Zhao Huan, the eldest princess, has begun to enjoy it from the day she was canonized.
Therefore, Zhao Huan is also called the brightest pearl of Zhao State!
Yan Yan looked at Song Yu's handsome face with surprise and uncertainty, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: Being good-looking means he is so popular, even the eldest princess is not exempt from this custom.
"Is there anything else, Commander-in-Chief?" Song Yu looked at the livid Yan Yan and asked in a very gentle manner.
"I came to you because I have a task to explain. You were too far away before, but this time I am within the Lin'an Mansion..." Yan Yan took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone as calm and gentle as possible.
What if you know the eldest princess?
This is the Demon Supervisor Department! I'm your boss! Don’t you still have to listen to my orders?
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Yu with a look of helplessness.
"What a coincidence. I just received a decree from the imperial court, asking me to report to the Ministry of Rites and become one of the members to welcome the Northern Qi envoy, so I can't take care of the affairs of the Monster Supervision Department for the time being."
Song Yu did not say anything about the content of the imperial edict, but looked at Yan Yan with a sincere expression: "Why didn't you tell me earlier yesterday? If you had told me earlier, maybe I wouldn't have to go to the Ministry of Rites to face those people from Northern Qi. Oh, look at this. What a fuss!"
Yan Yan: "..."
He really wanted to ask: Who are you, and the imperial court will issue a special order for you to go to the Ministry of Rites?
However, no one dares to lie about this kind of thing. They can only hold back their anger in their hearts. This feeling is not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
He looked at Song Yu with a smile but not a smile: "Since Manager Song is reused by the imperial court, it is a good thing! Then go, don't lose the people of our Demon Supervisor Department!"
Song Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Commander Yan. If the Northern Qi envoy dares to find trouble, I will chop off their heads with one sword and tell them that our Commander Yan said that the people who oversee the Demon Division should not be thrown away!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands at Yan Yan and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Commander Yan, please help yourself."
Yan Yan stood there with a livid face, unable to regain his composure for a long time.
"It's counterintuitive, it's really counterintuitive. What the hell is this? You have no regard for superiors, no distinction between seniority and inferiority, and you don't even talk about junior officials. You have no respect for me! It's simply lawless!"
Sun Zhiping secretly observed in his private room.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, why not indulge myself?
Do you still think Song Yu is an ordinary silver-medal manager of the Demon Supervision Department?
He is now a fifth-grade Doctor Xuanzheng, on the same level as you, Commander Yan!
If he makes a contribution during the Northern Qi envoy's visit this time, he might continue to be promoted to a higher position.
At that time, even if you, Commander-in-Chief Yan, see you, you will still have to bow your head and shout honestly that I have seen Mr. Song!
For some reason, Sun Zhiping suddenly felt a little excited when he thought of that scene.
look forward to!
