The Golden Age Chapter 488: Do not use Qianlong
Qin Xiao returned to Kushui Alley at night and went straight to Gu's family. Gu's sisters and brothers were all at home. They seemed to know that Qin Xiao hadn't eaten, so they waited for Qin Xiao to come home before eating.
Gu Baiyi also had a drink. The big family had different tables for men and women, but naturally they wouldn't be so particular in Gu's family. Qiuniang was also sitting at the table.
"First to toast you a cup." Gu Baiyi smiled: "Congratulations on your promotion to Dali Temple. Congratulations."
Qiu Niang obviously didn't know the news yet, and she was a little surprised: "Promoted?"
"My sister doesn't know something, I also got the news before I came back, Qin...Haha, Qin Shaoqing was transferred from the Ministry of War to Dali Temple and was directly promoted from a seventh-rank official to a fourth-rank official." Gu Baiyi smiled: "I'm far from Qin Shaoqing now. According to the rules of the court, I should bow and salute every time I see it."
Qiu Niang may not know how high-ranking official Shaoqing of Dali Temple is, but her promotion from the seventh rank to the fourth rank naturally surprised her inexplicably.
Gu Baiyi has been in Kyoto Prefecture for many years, but he is still only an eight-rank clerical man, and has never been promoted. Qin Xiao entered Beijing for a short time, first he went to the Ministry of War and became a seventh-rank official, but his **** hadn't been seated yet. Hot, changed his body, and turned to become the Fourth-Rank Shaoqing, even Qin Xiao himself felt incredible, not to mention Qiuniang.
"Really?" Qiuniang asked with her beautiful eyes wide open, looking at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao touched his head and nodded: "It's true. I just adjusted it today, and I haven't recovered myself."
"You are such a big official, are you too negligent with today's food?" Qiuniang blinked and asked.
Qin Xiao laughed, and said, "Sister Qiu Niang, I'm angry if you say that again. I never thought about being a high official. I only wanted to be a high official when I first entered Beijing. Xiang court reported the Ming Xiling rebellion, thinking that after reporting the news, he would leave Kyoto with other people. Even if he knew that he had entered Kyoto, he would not be able to leave." Looking at Gu Baiyi, he frowned slightly and said, "Brother Gu, I After thinking for a whole afternoon, I never understood what the saint meant. According to the purpose, I was promoted to Shaoqing because of the merits of exposing the ordnance case, but I think this is really unreasonable."
"Oh?" Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "Why don't you think it makes sense?"
"Although it was indeed that I wanted to expose the ordnance case at the beginning, it was Xue Ke Ke who really came forward. If the case is really meritorious, Xue Ke Ke should be given a reward.” Qin Xiao said with a serious face: “But Xue Ke Ke Without punishment or reward, I sent me away from Kyoto, but transferred me to Dali Temple. Taking a step back, even if I really have the power of exposing, it is impossible to rise from the 7th to the 4th grade at once. This is simply incredible. So I have been wondering why the saint would do this."
Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Perhaps the saint thinks that you are courageous, not only courageous, but also strategic. He thinks you are a rare talent, so he will promote and reuse."
"Big Brother Gu said and laughed." Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "When I go to the capital, I will only cause trouble. Those nobles hate me but it is too late. In their eyes, they are just doing things without thinking about the consequences. It’s just green."
Qiu Niang said with a smile: "You don't care what the saint thinks, promotion is not a bad thing. How old you are, you will become a fourth-rank official, I'm afraid it will be a few years later
You can be promoted to a high-ranking official, that's really amazing. "
Gu Baiyi also smiled and said: "If you come, you will be at peace. Why did the saint do this, I don't understand for a while, but you were called into the palace first, and today you have been promoted to several levels. In the eyes, at least everyone will think that the saint is very important to you. The long grace of the saint is majestic, at least no one in Kyoto dared to act rashly against you, this is not a bad thing." Duanbei said: "Come, let's have a toast first. "
The two drank it, and Gu Baiyi said: "There are not many things in Dali Temple, and it is very idle. You will be transferred to Dali Temple, and it will not be too hard in the future."
"Big brother is very true." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "The officials of Dali Temple are extremely scattered from top to bottom. They have stayed there for a long time, and there is really no desire to fight for power. But I I'm afraid I can't stay in Dali Temple for too long."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Baiyi was a little confused.
Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said: "Brother Gu, I know my situation very well. I have never been an official, and I have never thought of becoming a person like them. I only hope to be able to do so soon. It’s not bad to transfer from Kyoto to Captain Han. It’s not bad to transfer to the northern town. In short, I don’t want to stay in Kyoto. There are too many right and wrong places, and the best choice is to stay away from right and wrong. Shaoqing, it is the third and second product, and I am not rare." Looking out the door, he muttered: "Kyoto is not for me."
Gu Baiyi saw that Qin Xiao was on his mind, raised his hand and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and said softly: "Like the previous life?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao sighed: "My happiest day was in Guicheng. At that time, Duwei Han and Meng Tattou were taking care of them, and the brothers in the yamen were all getting along well, although they were just guarding Prison, but I am happy every day. When I come to Kyoto, apart from being happy with you, there are not many happy times."
"The imperial court has not yet responded to the Xiling rebellion." Gu Baiyi said: "In my opinion, it is impossible for the imperial court to use troops against Xiling within a short period of time, let alone recover Xiling. Brother Qin, many things are gone. No return, although the life in the past is good, it is difficult to go back to the past. In addition, you are now a Fourth-Rank Shaoqing, and it is even more difficult to leave Kyoto."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I really want to leave Kyoto, but there is no way." He lowered his voice and said: "I think about it. There is a way that may not be impossible."
"What way?"
"Since the saint has decreed me to be promoted to Dali Temple, if I take the initiative to resign, the palace will definitely not allow it, and it will even annoy the saint." Qin Xiao said: "But if I can be directly dismissed from the palace At that time, I will take the initiative to ask to go to the border to serve, and the saint may not refuse to agree."
Qiu Niang heard the words and sighed: "Everyone else is thinking about getting promoted and getting rich, but you are thinking about dismissing the government from office. I don't know what you think."
Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Sister Qiu, Tsing Yi Tang provoked you, and provoked me. Only one Jiang Qianxing died. This is definitely not a matter of letting go."
"What do you want to do?" Qiuniang Huarong paled, and hurriedly said: "You don't want to provoke them anymore. You are now Shaoqing, a member of the fourth rank, and Baiyi said, they dare not look for you again. Trouble, don't do stupid things again."
"Don't worry, what I did was not stupid." Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "When I was in Turtle City, I liked to be nosy. They are better off. Tsing Yi Tang is doing evil in Kyoto, and how many innocent people have been victimized because of the noble people behind Tsing Yi Tang. The Kyoto Department of Justice turned a blind eye. Today I know at Dali Temple that Tsing Yi Tang has been rampant in Kyoto for many years, but the government is actually the case. There is no criminal file of Tsing Yi Tang, no wonder those people are arrogant and domineering in Kyoto."
Gu Baiyi nodded slightly: "Tsing Yi Tang and Taiping Hui are indeed two major cancers in Kyoto."
"So eradicating Tsing Yi Tang and letting them disband completely is a good thing for the people." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "If I was in the Ministry of War, I really don't have the right to investigate Tsing Yi Tang, but I am now transferred to Dali Temple. , It happened to have a chance."
"Do you want to use Dali Temple to deal with Tsing Yi Tang?" Gu Baiyi immediately understood, and said solemnly: "It's just that you should understand that even the Blood Hades of the Criminal Ministry is not willing to have a grudge with Tsing Yi Tang, so how dare Dali Temple fight with Tsing Yi Tang? Is Tsing Yi Tang an enemy? Su Yu is very old and prudent, and he is extremely cautious in doing things. The North Korean officials gave Su Yu a nickname in private, called Su Blind, which means that no matter what happens, he will treat him as if he hasn’t seen anything. He is even ordinary. I don’t want to get involved in the case, let alone Tsing Yi Tang?"
"Since I am Shaoqing, I naturally have a way to investigate Tsing Yi Tang." Qin Xiao said indifferently: "If Tsing Yi Tang can be really eliminated, it will not only benefit the people, but it will definitely make the nobles behind Tsing Yi Tang very I'm not happy, maybe because of this, I will be dismissed from office. If this is true, that would be great."
Gu Baiyi was thoughtful and did not speak.
"If the nobleman does not listen to me, I will try my best to make Tsing Yi Tang desperate." Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with cold light: "If that nobleman wants to shelter Tsing Yi Tang, speak in the ear of the saint to prevent me from continuing to deal with Tsing Yi Tang. , It’s better to be dismissed from office. Otherwise, I will stop Dali Temple from handling the case and I will have reason to resign."
Gu Baiyi looked at Qin Xiao and sighed: "So, you have already thought about it?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Don't be afraid of Brother Gu, since I was transferred to the Ministry of War, I have been thinking about how to get out of Kyoto. Now that I have the opportunity, I won't miss it." He hesitated for a while, and said, "But Tsing Yi Tang's strength in Kyoto is not weak, and there are noble people behind him. It is not easy to deal with them. It is impossible to deal with them without helpers. I see that the officials of Dali Temple are all wine bags and rice bags, and they will never help me get rid of them. Tsing Yi Tang, so...!" He stopped talking, but didn't say anything.
"Do you want me to help you?" Gu Baiyi naturally understood Qin Xiao's mind immediately.
Qin Xiao hesitated for a while before saying: "I did think that if Brother Gu was around to help, I would be more confident in dealing with Tsing Yi Tang, so I even thought about transferring Big Brother Gu to Dali Temple as an errand, but fine After thinking about it, it's still wrong."
"Are you afraid of hurting me?" Gu Baiyi smiled: "If you really make up your mind to get rid of this evil for the people of Kyoto, I will naturally try to help. But if you really want me to When I call to Dali Temple, I always have to be promoted to a higher level. For many years I have always been an eight-rank clerk. My salary is too low. If I can be promoted to a higher level, my salary will be higher. For the few ounces of silver, I naturally try my best. Help."
