Chapter 689 They Didn't Take Her Seriously
then.
After listening to Bai Mingwei's words, the Minister of Rites weighed it again and decided to make the trip in person in order to save unnecessary trouble.
However, he also knew what Bai Mingwei was thinking. He was a little unhappy in his heart, and his words were a bit strange: "General, you are really young and promising. I admire you!"
Bai Ming smiled and laughed: "Thank you for the praise. I praise you so much. How dare you?"
The Minister of Rites suddenly calmed down and said solemnly: "Since His Majesty asked the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with the general in welcoming the Northern Yan envoy, the Ministry of Rites naturally dare not neglect it."
"General, please rest assured that I will explain the instructions to the Grand Master. If the general needs anything else, I will do my best."
Bai Ming smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, sir."
The Ministry of Etiquette agreed to this matter, so Qin Fengye's plan of borrowing the charter to help her wear small shoes was finally aborted.
Unless Qin Fengye had objections to the Ministry of Rites and wanted to attack the Ministry of Rites, he would not find fault with the charter.
Because there was a problem, it was not that she, the main person in charge, was not doing things well, but that the Ministry of Rites did not clarify the regulations.
Of course, the Ministry of Rites will not fail to understand this truth.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Rites and Qin Fengye report the regulations next, they will be extremely careful; in the future, they will cooperate with them to welcome envoys and redouble their efforts.
The Ministry of Etiquette will never let anyone grab your pigtails.
The most important thing is that Qin Fengye doesn't want to lose a source of money like the Ministry of Rites, and he will definitely not be in trouble with the Ministry of Rites.
In the end, it was she who got the convenience.
Looking at the whole thing.
Qin Fengye just handed a pair of small shoes to Bai Mingwei. Bai Mingwei threw away the shoes without saying anything. Instead, he put the etiquette department in a position where he had to do his best to cooperate.
With the help of the etiquette department, her next affairs will naturally go more smoothly.
After a few more pleasantries, Bai Mingwei and everyone left the Ministry of Rites.
It was agreed that after the meeting tomorrow we would go to decorate the post house together, and everyone was ready to disperse.
Everyone who had been so solemn just now revealed their true colors when it was time to take a break, talking about where to spend time after the break.
The matter of welcoming the Northern Yan envoys had long been forgotten by them. No one was still thinking about whether the regulations could be implemented smoothly at this time.
After a few jokes, someone suggested going out for a drink:
"I heard that Jin Chaozui has launched two new wines, Green Ant Brew and Amber Light. The former is sweet and spicy, while the latter is fragrant. It can be said to be the best wine rarely seen in the world."
"Brother, I have reserved a seat in the elegant room, and I would like to invite all my colleagues to have a taste. Would you like to honor me?"
At this time someone answered:
"Drunk today? It is said that the wine there is expensive but not marketable. If it weren't for the prince's reputation, how could I book a table there? It is my honor to be invited by the prince!"
"I have long heard that this green ant brew and amber light are the best wines in the fairyland. I would rather obey my order and go there shamelessly."
"..."
Everyone accepted the invitation one after another and put their arms around each other, making it very lively.
It seems that Bai Mingwei is very redundant.
In fact, they didn't take Bai Mingwei seriously.
Although they had to admit that Bai Mingwei's move to deal with Qin Fengye and kick the ball to the Ministry of Rites was very good.
But they will not change their view of Bai Mingwei just because of such an incident that will happen at any time in the officialdom.
Some prejudices are difficult to change once they exist.
What's more, there are several factors that cannot be ignored. Just one of them will give them enough reasons not to take Bai Mingwei seriously.
Since Bai Mingwei was a woman, they had to obey Bai Mingwei's orders, which made them unconvinced.
Secondly, they were only temporarily transferred to cooperate. Bai Mingwei was not their top, so they naturally didn't need to pay attention to him.
The third reason was that Bai Mingwei had just arrived and had not established much prestige.
If Bai Mingwei's murderous aura can subdue a hundred thousand lions, it cannot affect these old oil men who have been in officialdom for many years and have long figured out a set of survival rules.
Therefore, they can tap Mao during duty hours, which is an extra face to Bai Mingwei.
If Bai Mingwei is dissatisfied, they can just quit. Anyway, if something goes wrong, Bai Mingwei can only take care of it.
"The past few days have been really tiring. I need to relax and unwind. I can get rid of all my worries by getting drunk. I have to put all the big things later and wait until I have had enough wine and food to talk about it."
A voice sounded again. After speaking, he looked at Bai Mingwei meaningfully, as if blaming Bai Mingwei for making their already busy days worse.
The person who deliberately invited his colleagues to drink in front of Bai Mingwei and deliberately embarrassed Bai Mingwei was Yu Jiao's brother-Yu Jianling.
In the capital where there are many powerful people, the identity of the heir apparent of the Hou family is not unusual. In addition, he has only received a rank of fifth rank, so there is nothing outstanding about him.
But he has an aunt who is the Queen Mother and is a cousin to the current Holy Emperor. This relationship alone gives him the capital to be arrogant.
Because when something happened in Baifu, Yu Jiao chose Baifu, which made Mrs. Dingbeihou very unhappy.
That's why Yu Jianling doesn't like the Bai family members.
This time being assigned to participate in welcoming the envoys, most people think it is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. If you do well, you will naturally be included in the performance evaluation, which will be helpful for promotion.
However, in Yu Jianling's view, it was Bai Mingwei who was looking for an opportunity to send him around and trample him under his feet.
So as soon as the value was released, I couldn't wait to embarrass Bai Ming slightly.
He just wanted to lead these people to live happily in front of Bai Mingwei.
