Su Ze sighed silently again after coming out of the palace.
Originally, the crown prince was his only hope, but now this hope has been shattered.
When he heard the origin of the two-year agreement, he was shocked. It seemed that his daughter was really going to get married...
After thinking about it, Su Ze stopped thinking about finding Cheng Sijie again and let nature take its course~
Anyway, it's not like you won't be able to see her after you get married.
After returning home, Su Ze told his wife about the matter. When Mrs. Su heard that it was the prince's plan, it took a while for Mrs. Su to come to her senses.
"Why is the prince so ordinary this time?"
In her impression, the prince has never been worldly, and he has always ignored these worldly things. This time, he actually helped his daughter decide these things!
Su Ze was also confused, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that there was nothing strange about it.
After all, the current situation is actually more gratifying.
How pitiful it would be if the children who have watched them grow up since childhood are still as detached from the world as before.
It is normal to have some human fireworks.
"That girl from the Lu family showed up just in time."
Because of Lu Qingyi's appearance, Cang Muchen became like a normal person.
Such a change is the best for them, for those of them who really care about Cang Muchen.
"That girl is good."
If it weren't for Lu Qingyi, their daughter...
"Now, do we have to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne before getting married, or what?"
The wedding date had been set before, but no further action had been taken until now. Mrs. Su guessed that this was the case.
Su Ze has now received the news, and after talking about it, he didn't hide anything anymore.
"The Ministry of Rites is making preparations."
This accession to the throne is a very important moment for Dayong.
This country has not had an emperor for more than 20 years, and the people seem to be unfamiliar with this title.
"A boy from the Cheng family went to the Ministry of Rites first to participate in the preparations for the enthronement."
This is another piece of news that Su Ze got when he entered the palace this time.
When he heard the news at that time, Su Ze was very surprised. The result of the previous discussion was for Cheng Sijie to go to the Ministry of Husbandry first and become a doctor, but now he went to the Ministry of Rites.
However, he soon wanted to understand that going to the Ministry of Rites was the time when he could gain the most experience.
It must be a great honor to participate in the new emperor's enthronement.
"You make the decision on matters in the court. I, a woman, can only take care of the home."
This is Mrs. Su's consistent principle. She doesn't need Su Ze to worry about things at home. She has never been interested in matters in the court. She is not like other people at all, wanting to get involved in everything.
This kind of relationship is the best between them, but Su Ze is not telling her now for other reasons, "Madam, what do you think the boy from the Cheng family will do if he wants to stay in the Ministry of Etiquette?"
It's not that the Ministry of Rites is not good, it's just that they all agree that the Ministry of Husband is more suitable for him.
In fact, Mrs. Su really doesn't know that much about these things. As long as she does things conscientiously, no matter where she stays.
Even if he wants to stay in the Ministry of Rites, it doesn't matter.
"Master, do you want Mr. Cheng to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Su Ze nodded. The Minister of Hubu will retire in the next two years. I had already recommended Qingyi as the next Minister of Hubu before he was engaged to the Crown Prince. Now there is a position of doctor in Hubu. If that
Let me go and get some experience first, so that when Lu Kunlin gets promoted, he will be able to follow suit."
After all, he was still his future son-in-law, so Su Ze had to consider more issues.
"If the master really wants him to stay in the household department, he can talk to the prince, or go and talk to him himself."
"Yes, but there is no rush now. We have to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne and gets married."
Speaking of this, Su Ze felt a little more comfortable, because the prince was going to ascend the throne, and then there would be a big wedding, so the marriage of their daughter would definitely have to be avoided.
Then it means that even if the daughter wants to get married now, it cannot be done now.
Everything has to wait until everything is completed on the prince's side.
This process is not short, it takes at least half a year.
The new emperor has ascended the throne. This is a big deal. No one in the entire Ministry of Rites dares to relax. It is not a good thing for them to have a new top scholar at this time.
If it were normal times, the new top pick would naturally be the target of competition among all parties. Those things in normal times can be regarded as training, but now they have to prepare for such an important thing, and they don't have so much free time to familiarize him with it.
But this person happened to be arranged by the prince, so they couldn't say anything.
"Master Cheng, please take a look at these information first."
On Cheng Sixie's first day at the Ministry of Rites, officials from the Ministry of Rites gave him some documents to read, but did not arrange anything practical for him to do.
Cang Muchen's purpose of putting Cheng Sijie here was to give him more experience, but it was obvious that what he was doing now could not achieve this goal at all.
But Cheng Sijie also understood in his heart that this was just the beginning and he was encountering such special things. These were quite normal.
He was not anxious or worried at all.
He even acted very calmly. Cheng Sijie really looked at the things they gave him very seriously. He basically never left this place except for eating, drinking and having diarrhea all day long.
He also looked at these things very seriously. Although the things these people gave him seemed to have no effect and were just to pass the time, these things could really make him feel real.
This is the best way to get to know the Ministry of Rites.
Even though he knew what the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites were, he didn't know exactly what it had done over the years, and what he saw now was the best explanation.
Therefore, Cheng Sijie read the whole process very seriously, as if this was the most beautiful article in the world.
In fact, these things did not look as boring as expected. Cheng Sijie even saw some interest in them. Although the people in the Ministry of Rites were very busy, when they saw him looking at these things so seriously,
Each of them is still full of doubts.
You can actually look at these things so seriously. Are all top picks like this?
Isn’t this really interesting to think about?
They originally thought that the person who was released directly by the Crown Prince would be very arrogant, and if they didn't arrange things for him, he would directly attack them, but they never expected that this would be the result.
"This new top pick is a bit surprising."
"Isn't it just an accident? I actually looked at all these things for a whole day, and I looked at them so seriously. Maybe the top pick is just a book."
"Haha, this is possible."
Several people whispered in their spare time, somewhat disdainful of Cheng Sijie's behavior.
In fact, it's interesting to say that if Cheng Sijie made a fuss here today, they would definitely say that he was relying on the prince's influence. He is not making a fuss now, and they think others are rigid and easy to bully.
"Anyway, if he is willing to see it, we will show it to him more. In this way, even if the prince is scolded in the future, we will not be responsible. It is for him to see it. After all, everyone knows that when you first go to a place, you must first understand it.
Yes, if you don’t even understand this, how can you do things?”
This statement attracted the approval of everyone present, "Yes, that's the truth. We are all helping him."
Cheng Sijie didn't know what they said, but even if Cheng Sijie heard it, he didn't care at all. Cheng Sijie knew all these things now.
Before coming, the Crown Prince had asked everyone to tell him what the people in the Ministry of Rites were like.
The next day, when he went to the Ministry of Rites, the situation was still the same.
There was already a thick stack of things on his desk. Cheng Sixie took one over and started reading without saying anything.
And it was still as enjoyable as the first day.
Whether it’s the second day or the third day after that.
For three consecutive days, Cheng Sixie did the same thing in the Ministry of Rites.
Just when everyone in the Ministry of Rites thought that Cheng Sijie had no abilities, Cheng Sijie directly approached the Minister of Rites.
"I have met Mr. Fang."
Cheng Sixie stood in front of Mr. Fang and bowed respectfully.
Master Fang looked at the young man standing in front of him, obviously not expecting that he would find him at this time.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry. I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to have a good chat with Mr. Cheng. The addition of you, the top scholar in the new subject, to our Etiquette Department really makes our Etiquette Department even more powerful!"
Mr. Fang has been in the officialdom for many years and his conduct is impeccable.
Although he was shocked when he saw Cheng Sijie now, it didn't show on his face at all.
Even if he knew what Cheng Sijie was here to see him for, he still pretended not to know anything.
When Cheng Sixie came here, he had already expected that he would have such an attitude, and now he was not surprised at all, "I understand, this is the reason why I came to see you, sir."
Master Fang was stunned when he heard this, "What...what doubts do you have?"
Normally, Cheng Sijie should have shaken his head and denied it at this time, but he just didn't follow the factory's instructions and told Mr. Fang the answer he least wanted to hear.
"Your Excellency, I have learned that I really have many doubts. I wonder if I can ask you to clear up my doubts."
Cheng Sixie bowed respectfully again, which made Master Fang's temples jump. Cheng Sixie in front of him still looked humble, but for some reason, Master Fang felt a little guilty when he saw this situation.
"Master Cheng, you see, I still have a lot of things on my hands here. The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and the wedding of the emperor and empress will follow soon. Can Master Cheng wait a little longer?"
He couldn't answer such a question. Otherwise, if Cheng Sijie said that he wanted to participate or directly said what he wanted to do, how could he refuse?
"I understand."
Cheng Sijie's words did not put Master Fang in trouble at all. He extended his hand towards Master Fang and said, "Since you are busy, I just happened to tell you something else."
Mr. Fang now spoke a little less fluently, "There is... another thing?"
"How about we talk about it some other time?"
This time, Cheng Sixie didn't give Mr. Fang the answer he wanted, "Sir, don't worry, I can do this very quickly, it only takes two sentences."
Mr. Fang wanted to say something more, but Cheng Sixie had already spoken directly, "Xiaguan has been in the Ministry of Rites for three days and learned countless things about the Ministry of Rites. This is all thanks to the information and documents that you have carefully prepared for me. I am truly grateful.
My lords, I will leave the Ministry of Etiquette with this gratitude and always remember your lords."
"You have to leave the Ministry of Etiquette!"
Master Fang immediately panicked.
If he didn't expect Cheng Sijie to come to him before, then what Cheng Sijie said now shocked him.
"Master Cheng, what do you mean?"
Mr. Fang didn't dare to fight anymore now. The person the prince sent in person only stayed in the Ministry of Rites for three days and then left. The prince found out about this, and he, the Minister of Rites, must bear the brunt of the punishment.
Cheng Sixie's expression remained unchanged, "In the past three days, I have read all the documents, and I have also seen the efforts of all the adults. I still feel that there is a gap between what I thought and I feel that I will definitely not be competent in the future.
So it’s best to leave now when the opportunity is right.”
Using retreat as an opportunity to advance is quite useful.
Because everything they are doing now is based on the fact that he will not have any complaints with the prince, that's why they are afraid of doing so many things.
But now that Cheng Sixie has directly said that he wants to leave, he will definitely make trouble in front of the Crown Prince. Then the Crown Prince will know that they are deliberately making things difficult as long as he hears what he did in the Ministry of Rites.
by that time……
Master Fang trembled unconsciously, and his eyes changed when he looked at Cheng Sixie.
"Mr. Cheng, are you not happy in the Ministry of Etiquette? If you encounter anything unhappy, Mr. Cheng can talk to me."
People absolutely cannot leave now.
In other words, even if I want to leave, it can't be at this time.
"Sir Fang, I have spoken harshly. The people in the Ministry of Etiquette are all very good. It is the reason why I am demoted. Please forgive me."
After Cheng Sixie finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. Master Fang quickly grabbed him and said, "Master Cheng, stay."
Mr. Fang was really frightened by his attitude, "Now our Etiquette Department is in the midst of employing people. If Mr. Cheng leaves, we will not be able to handle the affairs of the Etiquette Department at all. It is better for Mr. Cheng to stay."
Cheng Sijie turned his head and looked at him, "I'm afraid Mr. Fang has misunderstood. Most of the documents I read before were from five or ten years ago. These documents should not be able to serve as a reference for what the gift is going to do now."
, I can’t use it when Prince Dharma ascends the throne, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you.”
"No, no, no, I can help. I can definitely help."
Mr. Fang said that he could not let Cheng Sixie leave the Ministry of Rites at this time, so he simply did not let go of his arm.
Almost at the same moment, Mr. Fang listed many things that Cheng Sixie could do. When Cheng Sixie listened to these words, he also understood in his heart how helpful these things would be to him after being done.
As for Mr. Fang's attitude, it is not within the scope of Cheng Sijie's consideration.
His goal is to gain experience. As long as he achieves this goal, it doesn't mean anything to him how people like the Ministry of Rites look at him or say anything about him behind his back.
Cheng Sixie's move soon became famous in the Ministry of Rites.
Although Mr. Fang tacitly allowed them to talk about this matter, he also warned them that they could not say anything in front of their faces at any time.
You can be weird, but you can't let people know it in front of you.
When a new day came, Cheng Sijie came to the Ministry of Rites again. Everyone in the Ministry of Rites looked at him differently. However, when those people noticed that Cheng Sijie was looking at him, they hurriedly avoided it.
Seeing such a scene, Cheng Sijie couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
They were all clearly officials of the imperial court, but these people acted like common people, thinking that they could make him feel aggrieved by using these means.
Little does he know that these people are just waiting for him to cause trouble in the Ministry of Rites. At that time, they can let Cheng Sixie leave in front of the Crown Prince. If Cheng Sixie is recalled by the Crown Prince, he will completely miss the opportunity to come to the Ministry of Rites in the future.
.
These people in the Ministry of Rites are all very shrewd. After all, Cheng Sijie is the number one scholar in the new department. Such people have a very high starting point and can be promoted very quickly.
If Cheng Sijie is really allowed to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Rites, it means that someone else's official position cannot be replaced by him.
But if they were the only ones in the Ministry of Rites, they would be the ones who got promoted.
Cheng Sixie's arrival undoubtedly touches the interests of others!
That's why they used that method to do it, but they didn't expect that Cheng Sijie would not follow what they had set at all, but would instead come up with a brand new possibility.
"Good morning, gentlemen, are there any documents you want to read today?"
Seeing them evading, the uneasy factor in Cheng Sijie's heart came out. Looking at them one by one, Cheng Sijie naturally took the initiative to ask them for documents and materials.
The other adults felt really aggrieved and panicked when they heard Cheng Sixie's words, but on the surface they acted very normal.
"Sir Cheng, you are joking. You are the top scholar in a new subject. How can I keep you reading the information? There are some things that really need you to handle today."
"That's right, Mr. Cheng is a talented person. Those documents are just for Mr. Cheng to familiarize himself with the procedures of the Ministry of Etiquette, so that he can do things more smoothly in the future."
"Master Cheng, here, I'm here to help you."
Throughout the morning, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had begun to take Cheng Sixie to do the things they were in charge of. Whether it was something they deliberately made things difficult for them or something that was really useful, Cheng Sixie followed the instructions throughout the process.
, I did it without any complaints or opinions from others.
It's just that Cheng Sijie's super ability is really worrying!
