In the second year of Kangping's reign, Emperor Kangping specially appointed Enke to recruit talents. At the end of March, Enke released the results and the good news was sent to the Qin Mansion. The Qin family cried with joy.
As the main family of Qin Liuxi, they learned the whole story from Qingpingguan about the battle of killing gods. Compared with the outside world, they naturally had the clearest knowledge. They also knew what their children who owed the most had paid for the people of this world.
But the Qin family did not attend to the funeral. Just like the people in Qingpingguan, they knew that she was gone, but preferred to believe that she was just traveling far away and her return date was uncertain.
They just subconsciously wore plain clothes and did not hold wedding banquets or attend banquets in other places. Fortunately, the war left Dafeng in a state of devastation, with many people dying and Sheng Sheng The capital was also filled with gloom and mist, and no dignitaries held happy events.
After all, the saints suffered heavy losses in that battle.
As for the Qin Mansion, Mr. Qin fell on the bed after hearing the news. Even Wang's Aunt Wan and others fell ill. In the past few months, the Qin family had no laughter, only depression. They were in urgent need of some good news. Come and dispel this haze.
Qin Mingyan participated in this Enke competition and won the Jinshi. With the good news that he entered the government, everyone finally had a smile.
Wang said happily to Qin Mingyan: "Go and say congratulations to your eldest sister, she should be very happy."
Qin Mingyan nodded.
He walked out of the main courtyard, and Qin Mingchun followed him, walking side by side with him. The two brothers talked as they walked.
“Second brother, which yamen do you plan to go to?”
Qin Mingyan said: "Even if you win the Jinshi, you still have to wait for the assignment, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go to any yamen this year."
“Why?”
Qin Mingyan sighed helplessly: "Grandpa probably won't survive this year."
Qin Mingchun was startled, lowered his head, tears fell, and said: "In other words, someone is going to die in our family again?"
Qin Mingyan's steps stiffened slightly and his nose felt a little sore. He put his hand on his shoulder and said, "My grandfather is old and suffered a lot when he was in the northwest. In recent years, if it hadn't been for my eldest sister... I'm afraid he would have died early." Just go."
“Woo, I miss you, big sister.” Qin Mingchun’s tears fell like broken beads, and he cried, “Will she never come back again?”
Qin Mingyan's eyes were red. He raised his head, looked at the sky, held back his tears, and said hoarsely: "No."
Such a good person with extraordinary abilities, she will definitely return like a king.
The two came to Xiyuan and happened to see the twin brothers Ping'an walking in black military uniforms. When they saw the two, they hurried forward and greeted them in unison: "Second brother, fifth brother."
"You guys have finished practicing martial arts, why are you here?" Qin Mingyan looked at the twins who were exactly the same and looked like calves, and couldn't help but act like the elder brother.
Since the second uncle's family was sent away by his grandfather, after the eldest brother got married, he only became an official in the name of civil servants and was sent out. Now there are only the eldest and third bedrooms in the house, and he also regards himself as the eldest brother.
The two younger brothers looked at each other and said with a smile: "When we learn that the second brother has won the Jinshi, we will definitely come and inform the elder sister and then come over."
Qin Mingyan's eyes warmed up and he said, "Then let's go in together."
After looking at the portrait, the brothers looked solemn. They each took incense and lit it. They bowed respectfully three times and put the incense in the incense burner. When they looked up again, no matter who it was, there was some sadness in their eyes.
Qin Mingyan stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "Sister, I have been selected as a Jinshi. Don't worry, the Qin family cannot fail as long as we have several brothers." Qin Mingchun also stepped forward and said, "There is also me. "Although I am just a scholar, I will definitely follow the example of my second brother and protect the Qin family together with my second brother."
“There are still us.” The twins stepped forward together and said, “We will also strive for success.”
The sandalwood sticks were very few and far up, blurring the girl in the portrait, but the smile was very real.
Qin Mingyan also didn't expect that he, a young Jinshi, would be summoned by a saint.
When Qi Qian saw His Highness's somewhat reserved young talent, he smiled and said, "When you followed Changkong, you helped me, and our relationship is extraordinary. Now that you have passed the Jinshi examination, you are the Emperor's disciple. We are like each other." We’re familiar, you don’t have to be too formal, just let’s talk more freely.”
Qin Mingyan was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the etiquette must not be discarded."
He had heard about the concept of monarch and minister from Mr. Changkong. The monarch is the monarch and the minister is the minister. If the position is not correct and the relationship is always used as the excuse, no matter how good the relationship is, the relationship will fade and even lead to death. .
Since he is a minister now, he must correct himself.
Qi Qian was a little helpless and said: "That's all. Now that you have passed the Jinshi examination, have you ever thought about which yamen department you want to go to? Or do you still like investigating cases as before?"
Qin Mingyan was a little hesitant. Did you mean to let him choose?
Qi Qian saw that he seemed to have scruples, so he said: "Don't worry, but it doesn't matter. Your eldest sister and I are life and death friends. I will always take care of her family to some extent."
Qin Mingyan noticed his title. Although he was a little moved, it didn't show on his face. He said, "When I return to the emperor, if possible, I would like to go to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. However, my grandfather is old and has a weak body." It’s not very refreshing. He’s mostly lethargic now. The imperial doctor also said that it might happen... If I order the official, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get there for a while.”
Qi Qian understood and said: "You don't have to worry about this. In fact, last year, the evil spirit came to the world, causing chaos in the world. Now is the critical moment to quickly restore vitality, and everything is waiting to be done. I have discussed it with the officials, If an official has a family member bereaved due to a natural disaster, I will take away his love.”
Qin Mingyan was a little surprised.
Qi Qian smiled bitterly and said: "If you go out, you will find how serious the chaos is. This is also a time when a large number of manpower is needed, so we can only deal with urgent matters."
Qin Mingyan knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Student is willing to plead for the people."
"Okay, you go home and wait. When there are any deficiencies in these two parts, the decree will be passed to the Qin family."
“I obey the order.”
Qin Mingyan held up his hands and stepped back. He didn't have the slightest intention to bring back old feelings, and quickly left the Qinzheng Hall.
Qi Qian murmured: "You have a bit of character, and you should be able to support a family."
The order was quickly issued to the Qin family. Qin Mingyan was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and was promoted to the sixth rank. This starting point was considered to be the highest among the Jinshi. All jealous and envious eyes were cast on him, and they all clamored for him to treat him.
Qin Mingyan invited everyone, but the banquet he invited everyone to eat was a white banquet.
Because his grandfather Qin Yuanshan went on a journey on the third day after Qin Mingyan was appointed to an official position, and the whole family mourned.
