When Xu Qin woke up, his head hurt more than his butt, and he always felt like there was a cauliflower growing on his head.
I still thought that spicy Lao Zhu would blossom at both ends, so I blossomed at both ends first.
"I told you not to drink alcohol. I tried to persuade others, but I didn't hold him." Xu Qin felt thirsty and dry.
"Water..." Xu Qin muttered.
Immediately, a cup of tea was brought over gently and placed directly to his mouth. The temperature was just right and he drank it in large gulps.
After drinking it, my head became even more dizzy, but I finally regained the feeling of my body.
"More..." Xu Qin muttered, and then drank another cup of tea.
After two cups of tea, he finally opened his eyes. It was discovered that Hongshu was taking care of him.
"What time is it?" Xu Qin asked, his thighs hurting when he moved. Apparently it was done by someone else yesterday.
There was no human rights in the Ming Dynasty. After beating yourself with the front foot, you still have to accompany him to drink with the back foot. Is this a royal law? Xu Qin sighed in his heart.
"Young Master, it's already noon." Hong Shu said while taking a hot towel and wiping his face.
"I'm a little hungry when you say that." Xu Qin opened the quilt and planned to get out of bed.
It turned out that he was naked, and the most important thing was that Uncle Chen was late from get off work. Hong Shu turned around with a smile.
"Why are you shy? I haven't seen Uncle Chen say hello to you?" Xu Qin is not shy at all. They are all his own food. Sooner or later, he will have to eat what he is shy about.
"Young Master, you're teasing me again. I'll get you some clothes." Hong Shu opened his long legs and went to get the clothes.
If you didn't dare to move your butt, would I have let you, a little goblin, escape from my grandson's Wuzhishan? Sooner or later, I'll let you taste the power of the Golden Cudgel.
Xu Qin was in a happy mood and planned to lie down from today on and enjoy the glamorous life of the Ming Dynasty.
The main reason is that I ate the four beautiful maids first. It has been so long since I traveled through time, and I only talked nonsense and did not do anything serious.
"Of these four beauties, who will come first? Chisu..." Xu Qin was thinking wildly, but Hongshu had already brought the clothes and helped him put them on with a blushing face.
Xu Qin's butt injury hasn't healed yet, so he has to be careful when dressing. Naturally, he would inevitably see things he shouldn't see during the process. Although Hongshu's face turned red, he was not as afraid to open his eyes as Tian Xiang was.
Tianxiang is cute, but when she is shy, she trembles all over, just like a little rabbit.
After putting on clothes, meals were served from the kitchenette. Xu Fugui was already waiting at the table.
"What are you doing here while I'm eating?" Xu Qin said angrily. He was worried that something would happen now.
"Young Master, aren't you going to order mao at the guest house today? It wouldn't be good if you didn't go on the first day." Xu Fugui asked in confusion.
"What department? Host and guest department? Is that a restaurant or a newly opened brothel? I'm going to order a meal? Is there an oiran?" Xu Qin took a sip of millet porridge and asked.
The little pickles crunch in your mouth, which feels very pleasant, especially after being drunk.
"Young Master, the Ministry of Official Affairs sent someone to tell you today. You are now the host and guest doctor." Xu Fugui said.
"Doctor? I'm still a doctor. When did the medical treatment fall under the jurisdiction of the staff? Besides, I don't fall under the charge of the staff."
Xu Qin didn't take it seriously at all. He was a noble, and according to the Ming Dynasty's grace system, he had to receive a salary with rank throughout his life. You can become an official directly without taking any scientific examination.
Therefore, orthodox officials who have passed the imperial examination look down upon these benevolent descendants the most. While other people lived in poverty for ten years, he reached it as soon as he was born.
"Young Master, the doctor is not a doctor. He is the chief official of the Host and Guest Department. He is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of the reception of ethnic minorities and foreign envoys. He also issues titles and titles to various Tibetan countries."
Xu Fugui said with shining eyes.
Xu Qin suddenly felt that the millet porridge and pickles in his mouth were no longer fragrant. This seemed to happen out of nowhere, but he felt that there was some reason for it.
I was ready to lie down, but are you pulling me up again?
"Who, who is so fucking unreasonable? Did the official get kicked in the head by a donkey, or is Mr. Jin Zhong just confused? Give me any bullshit doctor, I won't treat you."
Xu Qin slapped the millet porridge on the table and became angry. He was immediately confused.
My heart tells me that if I am a good noble, a rich second generation, and do not bully men and women and visit brothels, what kind of bullshit host-customer service will I be in? Can I use an oiran as a bonus during the Chinese New Year?
Then I thought that something was wrong. Jin Zhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was Zhu Di's confidant, and Jing Nan was defeated by a dragon. It is your duty to be upright and rigorous.
How could he suddenly give himself a position in the Ministry of Etiquette? And the most important thing is that he is a chief officer. Could it be that my father's conscience found out that he gave him a gift?
"Young Master, your official position is only passed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is said that His Majesty personally issued an order to confer it on you. Did you please His Majesty yesterday?"
Xu Fugui said with shining eyes, this is a great joy from heaven. Is this the prelude for the Duke of Wei to return to the Holy Family?
His Majesty personally issued an order for the young prince to become an official. What does this mean? It means that the Duke of Wei is doing well again! The people below were extremely happy.
"It's broken, it's definitely broken..." Xu Qin found that he had stopped drinking.
What did you do after drinking alcohol yesterday? Why don't you have any impression at all? How did I fool Zhu Di into doing such an unreliable thing?
Xu Qin thought with fear that if he had followed the behavior he had in his previous life when he drank too much, the bragging he had done last night might have covered the sky.
"I'm going to have a drink and brag about my skills. Boss Zhu, who is so wise and powerful, shouldn't take me seriously." Xu Qinxin said.
"Fugui, how did I come back yesterday?" Xu Qin asked tentatively.
"Young Master, you came back with your arms around Eunuch Zheng. You two are brothers, and you said you would lead him to dominate the four oceans and become the king of the Qiwuhai."
Xu Fugui reported truthfully.
Xu Qin almost choked to death with a mouthful of millet porridge. His Majesty Qiwuhai has come out. Can Eunuch Zheng understand? If he could understand, I should ask for his WeChat ID.
The Ming Dynasty had just beheaded a pirate king. What did I say about the king's Qibuhai? And I called him brothers. It seems that he also drank too much.
After eating the millet porridge and pickles in the bowl in three mouthfuls, he quickly changed his clothes and entered the palace after wiping himself off.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Bragging that you can definitely be among the best in the Ming Dynasty, but forget about being an official.
Dandy is his favorite, so he quickly went to Boss Zhu to collect his magical power. I'm just bragging, how can you take it seriously?
Riding the carriage all the way to the palace gate, I met Zheng He who was also going back to the palace.
"Eunuch Zheng, walk slowly and wait for me..." Xu Qin took two steps to catch up with Zheng He.
"Young Master, thank you for your map. I will have a clear direction for my future voyages to the West." Zheng He happily said with his hands in hand.
"What, I drew a map for you? Father-in-law, I drank too much yesterday, so maybe I was telling lies. Don't take that map seriously. If I go in the wrong direction, I will be guilty of a big sin."
Xu Qin will never admit that it is true, because the source of this knowledge is difficult to say. The second thing is how much I still remember about high school geography. I am really not sure.
"Young Master, you are humble. I confirmed it with the nautical chart I brought back. It is generally correct. Wait for my next voyage to the West to explore it carefully." Zheng He was very excited.
Can you not be excited? Originally, your eyes were completely dark, but now you roughly know what is ahead. Sailing was of great significance to him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qin said, just don't take it seriously. Southeast Asia is not that big anyway, so there shouldn't be any danger in exploring it.
"His Majesty has decreed today that I should be the doctor who serves as host and guest. Do you know what's going on?"
Xu Qin asked with a grimace.
"My young master has extraordinary insights, which is refreshing and eye-opening for Zheng. This chief officer is none other than you. It was recommended by His Majesty and I."
Zheng He said excitedly.
When Xu Qin heard this, he really wanted to kick his third leg, but unfortunately he didn't. My heart says, aren’t you trying to kill me?
"Father, I was just drunk and talking big words. How could you take it seriously? I can't do it. When I see His Majesty later, I will say a nice word for me and get rid of this."
Xu Qin regretted very much why he drank too much in front of Zhu Di. He knew that he dared to drink too much when he knew that he had no control over his mouth. It was really fatal.
"My young father-in-law, didn't you say you wanted to see beauties from all over the world? What about the Silla Song and Dance Troupe, the Japanese investigators, and the Siamese ladyboys. The song and dance troupe is easy to understand, but what is the difference between the prosecutor and the ladyboys?"
Zheng He asked seriously, and Xu Qin wanted to hit his head against the palace door. Should I discuss this kind of issue with a eunuch? There are currently no investigators in Japan, and probably not even female teachers.
"Are the envoys bringing beautiful women from all over the world with them?" Xu Qin quickly noticed another question.
"Yes, most of the Korean maids are Korean tribute girls brought by envoys. In addition to being sent to the palace, they are also given to princes and ministers. Japanese envoys occasionally bring them, and Siam will also bring them..."
Zheng He babbled as he walked. Xu Qin's eyes became brighter and brighter, thinking that there was such a good thing. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be completely confused even if I drank too much.
This is a shortcut to collect Oriental beauties. It seems that I can do this job well. After all, I am also the head of the department. If anything happens, let the second-in-command do it. If there is a woman, I will do it.
"Eunuch Zheng, I have decided that as a noble nobleman, I cannot continue to be mediocre. I should share the worries of the Ming Dynasty and share the worries of His Majesty. I will do my best to do this kind of difficult work."
Xu Qin's face changed and he became serious, and he said proudly.
Zheng He was stunned, stopped and looked at Xu Qin. That expression is asking, what's going on?
"Didn't you just say... and now you're saying..." Zheng He was confused.
"Father, I just drank too much and said the wrong thing before I sobered up. Today I am here to thank Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity to share the country's worries." Xu Qin said righteously.
Zheng He nodded. I'll just take what you said as true.
"What kind of officer is a search officer?" Zheng He asked persistently.
Xu Qin coughed and thought to himself that this was very special, the kind of official who specially gave gifts to men. But you, a eunuch, don't need to know.
"Father, how many tributary countries are coming with us this time?" Xu Qin quickly changed the subject. It was really weird to discuss women with a eunuch.
"Seventeen or eight, but there will be more to come. The next thing you need to do is to receive these small countries well and not to lose the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."
Zheng He said.
Xu Qinxin said of course not. The tributary system of the Ming Dynasty was very famous in later generations. People put less emphasis on etiquette and more emphasis on affection. Naturally, I, the Ming Dynasty, will give generous gifts.
For the sake of shame, regardless of their own difficulties, these gangsters got a lot of money at their own expense, especially the Bangzi Country, which was simply shameless, just like beggars.
Obviously the Ming Dynasty asked him to come once every three years, but he was so shameless that he insisted on coming three times a year, and he was so poor that he even lost his face. But it just so happens that these big men in the Ming Dynasty want to be shameless.
It is simply a matter of impoverishing the country, cheating the people, and raising a bunch of white-eyed wolves. That’s all I don’t care about. If I do, I must let them know what the Kingdom of Heaven is.
"Eunuch Zheng, have you brought back any local specialties from this trip? You can't just return with an empty boat." Xu Qin suddenly thought of something and asked.
"That's not true. I did bring back some things when I went out this time. They are all local specialties, but they have been handed over to the Ministry of Revenue." Zheng He said casually.
He only goes out to promote the country's prestige and communicate with other countries. Of course, there is also the unexplained search for Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.
While fighting against pirates and bringing back envoys from small countries, they naturally also brought back a lot of local products. But he was not in business, so he handed it over to the Ministry of Accounts when he came back.
Xu Qin stamped his foot, too bad he was late.
