And these days, Lin Yiqiu naturally takes care of Wei Wanqiu even more meticulously.
No matter what, this is Lin Yiqiu's first child. Even if he has to sacrifice all his wealth, Wei Wanqiu must let Wei Wanqiu give birth to the child safely!
This is the top priority right now!
In recent days, something else has been happening.
Emperor Qian had been thinking about a reward for Lin Yiqiu. Except for gold, silver and jewelry, there seemed to be nothing suitable.
In the end, I could only make a suggestion and let the Ministry of Civil Affairs draft a medium-sized official position for Lin Yiqiu.
This is originally a process of awarding rewards, which is equivalent to the tacit understanding between Emperor Qian and Lin Yiqiu.
That's what I mean. Just understand what I mean.
The Ministry of Personnel also did the same thing. They honestly wrote a memorial and then told Emperor Qian that they could arrange for Lin Yiqiu to be in charge in the Ministry of Rites.
Anyway, they are just idle jobs and don’t have much power, but they have a lot of face!
People from the Ministry of Rites! That’s where the most educated intellectuals gather!
To give Lin Yiqiu such an official position is undoubtedly to praise him for his culture, intelligence, wit, and politeness.
Since ancient times, eunuchs who can be ranked alongside literati are extremely praised by people!
However, when the Ministry of Rites found out, they were unhappy!
If you are a eunuch, you will do meritorious service, and the emperor will like you if he likes you.
How can you still be ranked with us, a group of literati?
If you are in charge, doesn't this mean that the people in the Ministry of Etiquette are no different from eunuchs?
Insult! Chi Guoguo’s insult!
So under the leadership of the Minister of Rites, the matter was brought before Emperor Qian again.
After listening to their complaints, Emperor Qian was extremely angry!
I'm just giving you a face reward. I don't really want Lin Yiqiu to go in for anything, nor do I want him to squeeze you!
It's better now, I don't give you any face! I even went to the palace to make trouble!
So he immediately drafted a decree to punish the minister of etiquette to sit in front of the wall at home and think about his fault, not to go out for a month, and to fine him a month's salary!
As for the other people who made noise, they were each fined half a month's salary.
Under the imperial edict, this matter is considered to have come to an end.
Although Lin Yiqiu has not yet been to the Ministry of Rites, he has undoubtedly become the enemy of the Ministry of Rites at this time!
I guess the Minister of Rites would curse him when he was thinking about his past mistakes at home!
Lin Yiqiu didn't care much about these things.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he goes to the Ministry of Rites or not, it's just an errand, no one cares about him, it's just a nominal reward.
Instead of hanging out with that group of pedantic intellectuals, it is better to do business well in the store and spend time with your wife.
Take the time to go to Cining Palace, tease Tang Zhaoyi, or go see Mu Xinrou, etc. These days are already very happy!
But the happy days must eventually come to an end.
In the afternoon of this day, a young eunuch from the palace stepped into the shop door.
"President Lin, Your Majesty is summoning you urgently!"
The little eunuch said very seriously.
"Urgent call?"
Lin Yiqiu was slightly stunned. Emperor Qian rarely summoned people to the palace in a hurry.
"problem occurs?"
he asked quickly.
The little eunuch just sighed.
"President Lin, you will know when you go there. There is no need to waste time."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After talking to Wei Wanqiu, Lin Yiqiu followed the young eunuch into the palace.
After a long while, Emperor Qian was in the palace.
Lin Yiqiu stepped in, but the little eunuch had already taken the lead to leave.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to do with me?"
Lin Yiqiu asked, cupping his hands.
When Emperor Qian saw him coming, he sighed and waved his hand for him to come forward.
When Lin Yiqiu came closer, Emperor Qian spoke quietly.
"The Minister of Rites is dead."
"Um?"
Lin Yiqiu didn't react.
Emperor Qian anticipated his reaction and sighed softly.
"Just this morning, someone was found hanging himself from a beam at home!"
"I never thought that a high-ranking official of the third rank would die in his own home like this!"
"Your Majesty, does this matter have anything to do with me?"
Lin Yiqiu's face twitched.
He had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
Emperor Qian shrugged helplessly.
"You're right, I guess everyone else thinks so now!"
"You want to join the Ministry of Etiquette as the chief, but the Minister of Rites does not agree. He feels that he does not want to be associated with eunuchs."
"But I was punished by me again, and I couldn't express my anger, so I could only express my determination by committing suicide!"
This statement makes sense, because those pedantic intellectuals are really capable of doing it.
Lin Yiqiu wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty's decree is also the official title you gave me. I haven't done anything!"
"You mean, all this is my responsibility?"
Emperor Qian rolled his eyes.
Lin Yiqiu obediently closed his mouth and stopped talking.
On the contrary, this matter actually has nothing to do with him or Emperor Qian.
To be honest, it is probably the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel. Who told them to ask Lin Yiqiu to take the official position of the Ministry of Rites?
But in the end, the Minister of Rites was still too pedantic.
What about committing suicide at home because of a eunuch?
However, at this time, Emperor Qian changed the topic again.
"It was just my speculation. In fact, this matter may not be that simple."
"Lin Yiqiu, do you know what's coming soon?"
Emperor Qian raised his head and asked.
Lin Yiqiu's head turned quickly, and he came to his senses after a moment.
"Will try!"
"Yes, the day of the examination is coming soon, but the Minister of Rites died at this juncture. Don't you think it's a little strange?"
Qiandi's voice revealed some suspicion.
Lin Yiqiu thought about it and found that there were indeed many doubts.
"Your Majesty, so you suspect that someone assassinated the Minister of Rites because of his ability to take the exam?"
"I can't be sure, but I always feel uneasy. I'll leave it to you to find out. If there is really a conspiracy, be sure to report it to me!"
"The examination is an important matter for our country. It concerns the talents of our country! We can't be careless! Do you understand?"
Emperor Qian said solemnly.
For such an important task, the first person she thought of was Lin Yiqiu. As for the others, she was really worried.
Lin Yiqiu could only lament in his heart, if people are capable, they have to work harder wherever they go.
He had just put down the rebellion and captured the eldest princess. More than half a month later, he was handed another important task.
Forget it, who made me powerful? Who made Qiandi his woman? Who else could I help if I didn't help her?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best."
"Well, go ahead. This is my token. If you encounter any difficulties while investigating the case, you can do it easily."
Emperor Qian asked his maid to take a token and give it to Lin Yiqiu.
Lin Yiqiu took it, thanked him for a while, and then left Emperor Qian's palace.
As soon as he went out, he couldn't stop shaking his head.
"The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, it's best that you are really being conspired to kill."
"Otherwise, I'm going to be a eunuch fine, but I'll be burdened with unwarranted infamy. Is it okay to commit suicide for my sake?"
Lin Yiqiu couldn't understand it at all and left the palace. This chapter has been completed!
