In the next two or three days, many rumors about Qi Yu appeared in official circles.
This time, it is not a rumor, but a heated discussion based on facts.
As we all know, after the Jinke Palace Examination, the emperor only singled out his reputation and did not mention the Imperial Academy. When he was released from office, he directly discarded it to Xingtaipu Temple.
Therefore, everyone in the industry believes that Qi Yu's future career path should not be too broad.
Especially not long ago, Zhang Chengdong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, publicly accused Qi Yu of neglecting his administration, and even said harshly that as long as he was in the Ministry of War, Qi Yu would no longer want to be promoted. This simple sentence is enough to explain the problem.
From the above two points, it is not difficult to see that Qi Yu's future career will basically be a mediocre life.
Yes, he is a low-level official who is disliked by the emperor and disliked by his superiors. How can he use the resources to climb up the ranks?
So, someone arbitrarily made a sarcastic comment: Qi Yu, you can just be an honest fish with peace of mind.
All of a sudden, all kinds of sounds of gloating about the misfortune came and went, that is, the wall fell and everyone pushed it.
What's more, Qi Yu was jokingly called the most disgraced Tanhua Lang since the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty.
However, just when everyone was mocking each other and having fun, a piece of shocking news suddenly came.
What happened?
Said that Qi Yu was summoned by the emperor.
this……
Why did you call him?
have no idea!
Then, what did the emperor say to him?
No one knows this!
Yes, the sleepy Santoku also said that he had forgotten when facing Yinzi, that is, he had no comment.
Therefore, this matter became an unknown mystery.
Even so, some analysis can still be done from the appearance.
It is said that when Qi Yu left the palace, he held a bag of silver rewards tightly in his arms.
Well, looking at it this way, the emperor must have rewarded him.
Since there is a reward, it means that the emperor still recognizes him as a person!
In other words, Qi Yu has regained the favor of the Holy Family.
The reason why it is called "renew" is because he was recognized by his superiors before he was released: This boy is indeed talented!
As a result, things get a little complicated.
Those smart people who take pleasure in satirizing Qi Yu seem a little embarrassed. After doing it for a long time, they have turned into clowns?
I really want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!
Of course, the one who got slapped the most in the face was Zhang Chengdong, the Minister of War. As soon as he finished saying Qi Yu would never stand up again, he was rewarded with money by the emperor.
This slap in the face~~
Bang bang!
Some old foxes who have been immersed in official circles for many years began to sigh: The ancients said that it is better to bully a white-bearded man than to bully a poor young man. The ancients sincerely do not bully me!
What should I do if my judgment is wrong?
Adjusting in time is the right solution!
It’s not too late to make amends!
Therefore, Qi Yu should still be polite in the future. If someone really becomes a hot topic in the future, even if he can't get along with him, he will have one less political enemy.
After this incident, the civil service team was divided into two categories in terms of their attitude towards Qi Yu.
The first category mainly consists of high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Most of them chose to wait and see quietly, waiting for the situation to become completely clear before deciding whether to win over this young man with potential.
The second type of people are mainly low-ranking officials below the sixth rank. They like to work hard to build relationships. While cuddling together to keep warm, they also pave the way for their future career in advance. Those with the same rank and reputation are the best. chosen.
Compared with the first type of officials who are mature and prudent, the second type of people can't hold back their ideas and are eager to try them.
What kind of trial method?
To put it in more artistic terms, action is worse than heartbeat.
Therefore, in the next few days, Liu Quan's hands became weak when receiving gifts.
Now the Qi Yu family is bustling with people!
There were many people here, some they knew, some they didn't know, and even people from the Qintian Prison who were beyond reach. They all sent their servants to bring gifts.
Looking at the various gifts piled up like a hill, Ms. Zhou sighed and said, "Could it be that this is what scholars often call 'gifts'? Isn't it strange that there are so many people?"
Qi Yu was startled when he heard this. Can the word "ritual" be understood in this way?
However, it seems to make sense~~
Liu Quan also took out the small notebook where he recorded the gift list, frowned and sighed: "I don't know any of the people who gave the gifts, and I don't know how to return the gifts."
Yes, here comes the trouble of happiness.
Because Qi Dalang himself couldn't recognize it fully.
So what to do?
Qi Yu thought for a while and said: "It's easy to handle. Madam, go and exchange their gifts appropriately, and then return the gifts. For example, Zhang San's gift should be given back to Li Si, and Li Si's gift should be given back to Zhang San... "
Well, that's a very good idea indeed.
Yes, just do it.
The atmosphere today is very good, and the family members are also very happy.
Yes, is there anything more satisfying and happy than being respected by others?
This is the value and sense of honor that an official should have.
Qi Yu's vanity also overflowed a little, and he was intoxicated in this sense of satisfaction.
Throughout the night, Liu Quan kept chattering, his tone full of pride.
How about being proud?
How is this possible?
In my opinion, Qi Dalang, it is the last word to honor your husband and your wife!
Can it be done?
The answer is yes.
So Qi Yu took advantage of dinner time to express his thoughts.
"I would like to request a seal for you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law..."
Um?
Please seal what?
'lady'!
Zhou was stunned and said: "Amao, what did you say? Do you want us to ask for the royal decree to be your wife?"
Qi Yu said: "Yes, mother, my son has this qualification now."
Mrs. Zhou asked again: "I said... who is this Madam Chi Ming?"
Ahem...
How could Madam be a thing?
Qi Yu slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks and began to explain: "Mom, don't be impatient. Let me explain to you slowly. In this way, I will first explain the meaning of this fateful woman..."
"good!"
Mingfu generally refers to a woman with a title. In nature, it is a status symbol.
The group of married women is relatively broad, and they can be women from official families, women from distinguished families, etc.
In terms of class size, Ming women can be divided into three levels, namely, the first-grade State Lady, the second to fifth-grade Imperial Lady, and the sixth to ninth-grade Imperial Lady.
The rules for applying for a title are relatively simple. Officials can apply to the court for the corresponding rank of beauties for their female dependents according to their own rank.
From a process perspective, the official seal required the official to write the form himself, and then it was reviewed by the Minister of Rites, and finally approved by the emperor.
However, such inconsequential matters as requesting for a title were usually handled directly by the Minister of Rites, without the need to go to the emperor.
Thinking about it, if even a trivial matter of this level had to go through the Emperor's Holy Judgment, he probably wouldn't even have time to play the harem.
Let’s talk about Qi Yu.
Based on his current seventh-grade official title, he can get the corresponding seventh-grade imperial wife for his family.
In terms of status, no matter what grade of wife you are, you can be considered as a married woman.
Social status is also self-evident.
Mrs. Zhou was completely excited: "So, I will also be a person with official status in the future? Oh, this is not bad..."
Hearing this, Liu Quan couldn't help but straighten her chest and said, "Mom, we can be considered real wives from now on."
Yes, Liu Quan is right.
Strictly speaking, only the married woman is qualified to be called the real 'Madam'. The verbal call like before is just an honorific title. The two are completely different.
That night, Qi Yu wrote the application form and prepared to submit it to the Ministry of Etiquette on a certain date to formally apply for the title for his mother and wife.
