Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 440

Sensing Tang Wu's impatience, the Minister of Rites could only walk back strangely.

Now he didn't dare to criticize, and now he found out that when he came to the border this time, there was no one who could make him criticize, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

Needless to say, Shilang Chen, it was possible originally, but now that he has been driven back, what else can he say?
Zhang Xiwen didn't want to offend him, but in fact he could have been stabbed.

But just like Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Xiwen didn't have any right to speak since he left the imperial capital. He always listened to Chen Shilang, and he did whatever Chen Shilang asked him to do.

Even if Minister of Rites wants to criticize him, he has no chance.

As for these guards, don't even think about it now, the Minister of Rites sighed as he walked.

If only he had known this earlier, he wouldn't be in this situation now. It was too embarrassing to rush around in the middle of the night.

But now he needs to find a way to stay, no matter whether he is by Chen Yi's side or not, he must stay at the border. No one else came back, only he went back in despair.

It must make other ministers laugh to death.

Originally, his status in the Sixth Ministry was not very high, except for the Ministry of Works, they were at the bottom of the Ministry of Rites.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites is the most thankless one, and the Ministry of Industry is at least in the spotlight when it raises troops.

What about their Ministry of Rites?
Every time there is a large-scale event, such as offering sacrifices to heaven, palace banquets, and winter gatherings, they are required by the Ministry of Rites.

But doing well is what they should do, and doing poorly will naturally make them blamed. The most important thing is that the treasury has no money at all, so whenever this is the day when their Ministry of Rites will worry about losing their hair.

Originally, there was a Ministry of Industry that could put them at the bottom, but because of what Chen Yi did.

It directly made the Ministry of Industry the most important one of the imperial court, so the throne at the end of the six works naturally came to their Ministry of Rites. How could the Minister of Rites not be angry? !

Before coming to the border, although Minister of Rites was a little angry, he also knew that Chen Yi could not be blamed for this incident.

At the very least, what Chen Yi did was obvious to all, and it was a major event.

The Ministry of Rites did not intend to embarrass Chen Yi, but along the way, the Minister of Rites did not receive the attention and courtesy he thought, and he felt that they all looked down on their Ministry of Rites.

So he didn't take him seriously, and turned to the top-notch Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Naturally, everything was not pleasing to the eye, and the grievances in his heart grew deeper and deeper, and finally broke out.

But he didn't see it, he didn't give him special treatment, and Chen Yi treated himself the same, and he didn't do anything special.

Everyone is the same, they are all in a hurry, and Chen Yi's mind is also thinking about how to cooperate with the Daliao Kingdom.

Is there anything wrong with it.

Where will you notice whether you are comfortable or uncomfortable on the road, and whether it conforms to any etiquette? !

Chen Yi came here a few times back and forth like this, and even this time was the most comfortable time for him because he was not in a hurry.

There was no mess, and old acquaintances were met.

So it can only be explained that among the six books, there is a reason why Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is now at the bottom.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Chen Yi watched the Minister of Rites and Tang Wu leave together, and felt a little annoyed. He originally planned to have the Minister of Rites as a helper on the side, so that he could relax.

He knew that Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was one level higher than himself, and he originally wanted to respect this person, but he didn't expect that he was an incomprehensible person, so there was nothing he could do about it.

Fortunately, there is still Zhang Xiwen left, this one gets along well with me, so it shouldn't be a hindrance.

Zhang Xiwen has put away the way he was watching the excitement just now, he was simply too surprised.

It's true that I have worked with this Chen Shilang before, and I feel that he is very reliable and capable. You don't have to worry about anything, because Chen Shilang has already thought of it for you.

As long as the task is carried out in place, there will be no major mistakes.

Zhang Xiwen admired Chen Yi from the bottom of his heart. This incident made him realize that Chen Yi paid so much attention to and cared about political affairs, which was beyond Zhang Xiwen's cognition.

He had heard about the character of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites before. There is nothing wrong with people, but they are too particular and picky.

Therefore, many ministers in the DPRK waited to see him. Zhang Xiwen was very excited to follow Chen Yi out of the border this time, and he cherished this opportunity very much.

Even so, Zhang Xiwen couldn't bear the hardships on the march.

He thinks he is not a picky person, and he feels that he is still a person who can endure hardships, so he understands that the same situation happened to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Besides, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is actually treated much better than them.

Zhang Xiwen can only say that he understands the mood of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but he cannot agree with the other party's actions.

This time, I came here to assist Chen Shilang in establishing a business relationship with the Daliao Kingdom. This is almost at the end of the day, and suddenly I don’t care about these things. Not to mention Chen Yi, even I am worried about arriving in the Liao Kingdom.

If Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites would make such an announcement at a critical moment, it would be a shame to throw it outside.

But he didn't expect that Chen Shilang would be so courageous, he immediately persuaded him to leave, and Chen Shilang's guards actually took him away obediently, and he was not afraid of revenge from the Minister of Rites at all.

Zhang Xiwen thought he was very good at judging people, so he had many guesses about the identity of the bodyguard following Chen Shilang.

He thought it was the imperial guards or something else, the aura of these two people was different, but he never expected that the identity of this guard should be more powerful than he had guessed before.

Otherwise, why would he take someone away without hesitation.

In fact, in Zhang Xiwen's opinion, Chen Shilang's actions were a bit too extreme. In fact, if he appeases the Minister of Rites, saves face, and holds the Minister of Rites a little better, the matter will be settled.

It's just that there are many things that everyone has to solve, and Chen Shilang has a lot of things to do, and they are all critical.

There is nothing wrong with doing this, anyway, things have already happened, he needs to be vigilant, he must be measured in doing things in the future, and he must not forget his tasks.

And there is another point, that is, the guards around Chen Shilang cannot be easily offended, they are not ordinary people.

Chen Yi didn't know about this matter, Zhang Xiwen had thought about it so much, he had already forgotten about the Minister of Rites and waited for the response from inside.

Some wonder why it has been so long, and no one has come out to pick them up. Could it be that the timing of my visit is wrong?
So you didn't expect that you would come during this time?

Chen Yi didn't know why, but felt a little uneasy.
