Thank you Yi An Bi Wu for the tip!
…
Finally, the half-month question period came.
For ordinary questioning, as long as Yang Ke brings a few people to inspect it together and make a record, it will be done.
However, facing Yan Qi, Yang Ke deliberately humiliated him.
He actually went to great lengths to organize an examination and defense.
All officials from Shangshu Province attended.
Not only that, the Eight Wise Kings were once again moved out by Yang Ke.
Jiang Dongqu was extremely happy.
These days, he is under a lot of pressure.
The Ministry of Industry was riddled with holes by Yan Qi and was in disarray.
He can't control it, and he can't stand it.
But there is no way.
The Eight Wise Kings are here, very good.
The Eighth Sage King is particularly fond of cleanliness, and he will definitely be furious when he sees the mess that Yan Qi has dug into the Ministry of Industry.
If Yan Qi can no longer solve the heating problem, the Eight Wise Kings will definitely punish him for several crimes.
Hehe, if this is really the case, Yan Qi's end will be very miserable.
Clang clang clang.
The gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are blasting.
Eight carriages opened the road.
Hundreds of blue-clad guards accompanied him to protect him.
The Eight Wise Kings appeared on the stage in a huge formation.
Especially the carriage with eight carriages opening the road is very rare.
This thing represents status.
For example, when officials below the third rank travel, they need to drive a horse-drawn carriage.
In other words, one horse is enough.
For officials of third rank or above, the carriage is driven by two horses, that is to say, two horses pull the carriage at the same time.
Ministers and ministers of various ministries, governors and magistrates of various provinces, some ministers, and many officials of third rank or above can do this.
For those of the second rank and above, the carriage is driven by four people and four horses pull the carriage at the same time.
Generals, deputy prime ministers, ordinary princes, people of royal family lineage, etc. can enjoy the honor of the four masters.
A high-ranking official with six carriages.
For example, the Prime Minister, Zuo Du Yushi, Shangzhu State General, Zhenguo General, and ministers with special merits can enjoy this honor.
Yang Ke has the right to drive six carriages, Zhang Yongwu, the general of Zhenguo, also enjoys this honor, and Leng Wanshan, the god of war, is named the general of Shangzhu State, and also has this honor.
The left governor, Shi An Sihai, also had the right to drive six carriages.
However, An Sihai was used to being free-spirited and never wanted to show off.
Besides, how boring is it to raise so many horses at home just to get a front row seat?
Why do we need six horses when one can pull the carriage?
Isn't this the behavior of a fool?
However, the status of the Eight Wise Kings is even more incredible.
The Eight Wise Kings enjoyed the honor of being driven by eight chariots.
This is amazing.
Because when the emperor travels, he only travels in a nine-carriage.
The Eight Wise Kings are only one less powerful than the Emperor. Do you think they are great?
An ordinary prince, a descendant of the royal family in a clan house, is no more than a noble person among the four great masters.
The Eight Wise Kings doubled in size, eight chariots.
From this perspective alone, the status of the Eight Wise Kings is second only to the Emperor, and far higher than Yang Ke, An Sihai, and Zhang Yongwu.
Furthermore, the hundreds of blue-clad guards accompanying him were too impressive.
You know, Lan Yiwei is a master carefully selected from among the masters.
Each of these masters is super powerful.
But now, hundreds of blue-clad guards were dispatched together just to protect the Eight Wise Kings.
Who can compare to this spectacle?
Jiang Dongqu, Yan Qi, and all the adults from the Ministry of Industry all came out to greet him.
Jiang Dongqu stood at the front, watching the eight carriages of the Eight Wise Kings getting closer and closer, looking forward to it, and his tail was about to be raised with joy.
Yan Qi stood aside, neither excited nor nervous.
Xia Ming, minister of the Ministry of Industry, also came out to greet him.
However, he stood further and further back.
The position is particularly blocked, the head is droopy and the brain is droopy, and the body is listless.
Xia Ming seemed a little scared when he heard the name of the Eight Wise Kings.
He raised his feet several times to avoid it, but after much hesitation, he stayed.
Yan Qi noticed this scene and secretly remembered it.
Reminiscent of the meeting half a month ago when the Eighth Sage King turned a blind eye to Xia Ming, Yan Qi could conclude that there was definitely something fishy between the Eighth Sage King and Xia Ming.
What's the trick?
It’s also unknown!
Finally, the Eighth Sage King's carriage arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Industry Yamen.
Jiang Dongqu ran out with his body hunched over, wagging his tail like an excited dog.
Plop!
He knelt down directly in front of the eight carriages: "Jiang Dongqu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, respectfully welcomes the Eight Wise Kings to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry."
The car fell.
A guard in blue opened the sedan curtain.
The Eight Wise Kings looked majestic and stood on the carriage.
There was another guard in blue kneeling in front of the sedan as a step.
The Eight Sage King stepped on Lan Yiwei's back and got out of the car steadily.
The Eighth Sage King looked at Jiang Dongqu who was kneeling in front of him, and was about to say: Get up.
Yan Qi took the opportunity to call out loudly: "Welcome the virtuous king, congratulations to the virtuous king."
Later, Tian Heng, Wang Yongjian, and officials from the Engineering Department, the Farming Department, and the Water Conservancy Department called together: "Welcome the virtuous king and congratulate the virtuous king."
When the Eighth Sage King saw Yan Qi and more than a hundred officials bowing, he turned around and waved to them: "Everyone, no courtesy, no courtesy."
Interrupted by Yan Qi, he forgot about Jiang Dongqu who was kneeling on the ground.
Jiang Dongqu was a little anxious.
He was just kneeling.
Who made him want a special performance?
According to the rules, the Eight Wise Kings should help him to get up.
However, the Eight Wise Kings were distracted by Yan Qiyi and ignored him.
What should I do?
Jiang Dongqu was anxious and coughed quickly.
The Eight Wise Kings thought of Jiang Dongqu again.
However, Yan Qi pointed to the sky and said to the Eight Wise Kings: "When the Wise Kings come here, there are swarms of magpies. This is a great good omen."
The Eighth Sage King was so happy that he forgot about Jiang Dongqu again. He looked up at the chirping magpie and said with a smile: "I hope Vice Minister Yan can surprise me."
Yan Qidao: "Everything is due to King Xian's blessing."
The Eight Wise Kings laughed.
Jiang Dongqu is so angry.
Yan Qi, Yan Qi, are you the only one who can do this? Are you the only one who knows how to flatter?
These magpies fly here every day, chirping, and there are their nests on the big tree in front of the Yamen Gate. Who can't see it?
The Eight Wise Kings also came here and showed their joy.
I bother!
These magpies can't be driven away, but they make you laugh out loud.
Jiang Dongqu is so angry.
He knelt for a long time, his kneecaps hurting, and it would be much more uncomfortable if he didn't get up.
Besides, it would be so shameless to kneel here without the Eight Wise Kings coming to help you.
He's coughing again.
Yan Qi waved his hand: "Set off cannons and fireworks to welcome the wise king."
Lin Ruoshan waved his hand.
Fireworks were set off and salutes were fired.
The sound was so loud that it directly overwhelmed Jiang Dongqu's cough.
The Eight Wise Kings were so happy.
Yan Qi's arrangement greatly satisfied his vanity.
The Eighth Sage King was invited into the Ministry of Industry by Yan Qi so easily, completely forgetting that there was Jiang Dongqu kneeling outside, waiting for him to help him.
Jiang Dongqu knelt on the ground, wanting to cry but without tears.
Paralyzed.
What a deal.
I was kneeling here to salute, but the Eight Sages didn't come to help me, and actually ran to Yan Qi to talk and laugh.
Bullshit wise king, you turned a deaf ear to me.
It's a pity that the Eight Wise Kings have already entered the Ministry of Industry, but he is kneeling here. He wants to stand but cannot, and he is extremely melancholy.
Unable to advance or retreat, an uncomfortable B.
The most embarrassing thing is that Tang Hanxiao, Liao Zhan, Zhao Qing, Wan Liang, Qi Ying and other ministers of the Shangshu Province followed closely behind and followed the Eight Sages into the Ministry of Industry.
There are also many ministers and deputy ministers.
Every minister passed in front of Jiang Dongqu.
This creates an illusion.
It was as if Jiang Dongqu was bowing down to every minister.
Jiang Dongqu hates him so much.
Damn it, you are such a bastard, you are all here to take advantage of me.
