Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many Dukes and Marquis have been granted the title. Duke Tan of Qin can be said to be a very unique one because he got this title because of his name.

Duke Tan of Qin was not his title. His surname was Qin and his name was Tan Gong. He was a child of the Qin family in Yizhou. When he was eight years old, he was selected to be the attendant of the late emperor.

The late emperor was the crown prince at that time. When he heard his name, he laughed and said that you were well-known and were born as a prince. Then you should be a prince.

The emperor spoke golden words, and the late emperor also cared about his promises. The first thing he did after ascending the throne at the age of seventeen was to fulfill his promises. So after experiencing a child's play and the power of the emperor, the court finally agreed to the title. The 18-year-old Qin Tan Gong became the youngest Duke of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is enviable and a joke.

After Qin Tan Gong left the inner court to join the army. He had superb martial arts and was brave for twenty years, suppressing rebellions, north and south to repel Xiliang, protecting the peace of the Great Zhou, and saving military achievements, making great achievements in the world, becoming the first-class king general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Many people said that such military achievements were granted the title of King, but the title of Gong was wronged.

At this point, Duke Tan of Qin, who is named Duke, only envious and awe-inspiring, no ridicule.

The late emperor was proud of Qin Tan Gong. The late emperor did not like beauty. Since he ascended the throne, he only had one concubine. He was the youngest sister of Qin Tan Gong. The Qin family also became the most prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the late emperor and the empress and princess died unexpectedly, because Qin Tan Gong was in charge, the soldiers and horses in his hands were slashing the mountains and seas. The princes and relatives who were ready to move could only dream until the little emperor was successfully born and raised and ascended the throne.

Of course, there are many rumors that the surname Qin is now, but the other four ministers of the regent are not fond of listening to this, so they asked the Empress Dowager to issue an edict to return to their hometowns to farm. They were not officials except Qin Tan Gong, and they declared that the rumors were unreliable.

When the late emperor was still there, Qin Tan Gong only had the last emperor, and now he only had the emperor and the queen mother. He never violated the emperor's orders at all. Many people believe that if the young emperor issued an edict to let Qin Tan Gong commit suicide and follow the late emperor, Qin Tan Gong would not blink. It is said that the other ministers of life also wanted to confirm this rumor, but the emperor was still young and the country was not stable yet. Xiliang was also eyeing him, so the court should not be joked.

Therefore, Duke Qin Tan has always fulfilled his duties as a minister in charge, went to court diligently, worked hard, and regarded the house as his home... so he arranged it like a home.

Although the folk rumors were a bloodthirsty and cruel general, in fact, everyone who saw Qin Tan Gong thought he was very gentle, but probably because he suffered too much when fighting outside, and had some luxury for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

At this time, when the officials were showing their salutes, Qin Tan Gong nodded, raised his body slightly and returned the salute, saying, "What's going on?"

The next official with a fair and strong face hurriedly brought the stack of memorials in his hand and said, "Everyone said it is here."

Qin Tan Gong nodded, and the official put the memorial on several tables. Qin Tan Gong reached out and picked it up and read it. He didn't hear a word in the room, but Qin Tan's public sound of the memorial.

It seemed that after a long time, Qin Tangong read all the memorials and said, "These things are from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice. If the Secretariat decides, I should ask Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang..."

Another official stood up and said, "But, Liao Neijian wants to send troops to quell the rebellion. You need your decision."

The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether they were camps or imperial guards, were under the control of Duke Tan of Qin.

Qin Tan Gong nodded and nodded, flipped the memorial again, and said, "I have never known this very much... Have you read all these memorials?"

Everyone present responded to the verdict.

Qin Tan said justice: "Chang'an Mansion said the murderer had been caught, and Liao Chengduanshan said the real murderer was still running, so the incident of arresting the suspect started."

Everyone present spoke.

"... Duan Shan's coroner's methods will not go wrong, and the memorial also lists doubts. It is definitely not possible for this scholar Zhong Shisan and the bandits to do it."

"...There must be a lot of people assassinating the murderers so carefully... It is natural that Liao Neijian searches for a large number of people...."

"... Li Guangyuan of Chang'an Prefecture did not stop the market and tried to threaten it, and his intentions could be punished."

"... And Lin Yue actually took the students to coerce things in the name of petition..."

"...Liu Neijian was inappropriate, but the situation was urgent at that time, and they were short of staff and it was understandable that they had no time to interrogate the accomplices and suspects..."

"...It is obvious that someone will control this civil chaos later... It should be strictly investigated."

Duke Qin Tan raised his hand, and everyone's discussion disappeared. Seeing him flipping the memorial again, he said, "I'll think about it again... Please come to Song, Minister of Justice."

Everyone responded by bowing and retreated. It was probably because although the arrangement was gorgeous, the room was too small. After everyone walked out, they couldn't help but breathe and stretched their bodies.

"This Chang'an Mansion is too bold..."

"You must never be indulged, otherwise it will be a perfect practice for all parties to follow the example."

While whispering, the few people walked along the corridor. Two officials hurried over and stopped when they saw them and asked, "Sir, have you seen the cabinet's documents? I just sent them. Prince Wang wants to see them."

An official here smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I just sent it to Mr. Qin."

The official looked unwilling when he heard this and said, "That is from our Secretariat. The prime minister should take a look and report to His Majesty's court discussion."

Several officials here said, "Then you go and ask Mr. Qin for it." After that, he continued to joke and walked past the two of them.

The two officials stood there and looked blue and white, and were hesitating whether to go forward. Footsteps came from behind. They hurriedly looked back and saw a thin man about forty-something walking towards him with his hands in his arms.

The man was wearing a big red official robe, but he seemed to be incompatible with his clothes, floating and unable to hold on. His face was fair, but his eyes were always looking around unconsciously, adding a bit of snooping. He didn't look like an official, but a slick old official.

Yes, he was a postman... Even though he was wearing a red robe, he seemed to be unable to change his background. Every time the two officials saw this, they thought that it was not only them, but the entire court would think so.

They were still stunned, and the person who came smiled and greeted him actively: "Brother Huace, Brother Shunzhi." He was like a familiar old friend.

The two officials hurriedly saluted: "Mr. Song."

The Minister of Justice, Song Yuan and Song, was not the one they could call brothers and fellow Taoists.

"Why are you so sad? If you have something to say, I might help me?" Song Yuan smiled, and he was as loyal as a street idle man.

The two officials hesitated and said, "Our Secretariat's memorial was sent to Mr. Qin. I don't know if I have finished reading it."

Song Yuan laughed and said, "That's such a small matter... I'm going to see the prince, I'll ask for you." He patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Wait for me to send them to you."

The two officials hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare, don't dare, just ask us to call us."

Song Yuan had already said, "Don't be polite for some trivial matters." He walked forward with his hands in his arms.

Watching Song Yuan walk away, the two officials stood up straight and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looking at each other.

One of them said: "No wonder people say that there are three fears when they meet on the road, Qin Tan Gong's dog, the laughter of the King of Hell, and the brothers of the dung beetle said... Strangely, it is obviously passionate and kind, how can it make people frightened?"

Another said: "About him call him a brother when he is happy, and he also call him a brother when he is unhappy. In his eyes, brother is just something, not a human."

.....

Song Yuan stepped into Qin Tan Gong’s duty room. He put down his hands and raised his shoulders. The already thin man suddenly shrank again.

"Master, little..." He stepped in and saluted respectfully, but was interrupted by Duke Qin Tan before he could finish his words.

"Zijing, you are the Minister of State now. You should look like the Minister of State. Don't use this title of small ones anymore."

Song Yuan stood up straight, looked at Qin Tan Gong sitting in front of him, and responded solemnly, but the next moment he lowered his body and smiled: "The youngest in front of outsiders, of course, know that in front of the prince, the youngest will always be the youngest in front of the adults."

Qin Tan Gong only lowered his head and looked at the memorial. He had no disgust or joy for his flattery and said, "Do you have a grudge against me?"
