Chapter 592 The bookworm transforms and takes office
The news has spread, but the official canonization decree has not yet been sent.
The director of the Ministry of Rites has many responsibilities, including negotiating with foreign countries, sorting out and regulating many conflicts between different ethnic groups internally, cultivating talents, setting up schools, offering sacrifices to good and bad luck, etc...
For example, when Li Taixuan was still there, it was not Dingtiansi's turn to intervene in the negotiations with the Donghai Hai clan.
Under the divine dynasty system, many monks who followed the path of the divine dynasty also grew up under the training of academies in various places. All classics were controlled, distributed, and taught under the Ministry of Rites.
The imperial censors who were trying to find faults among the many eggs in the court and wanted to catch big news all day long so as to improve their own realm were also under the control of the Ministry of Rites.
But as time went by, the Ministry of Rites did not like to see these censors, and did not want to take the blame for these censors. These censors gradually became their own line, another separate department besides the six departments, but
Because its powers are relatively simple, its status is not as good as that of the Six Ministries.
But speaking of it, the Yushitai is better than a separate department from the Ministry of Rites that is in charge of temple ceremonies.
Now the official position conferred by Emperor Ying to Qin Yang is a third-grade right minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. Looking at the rank alone, if it is placed in Da Ying, it can be regarded as a big boss level. He can appear at any time in daily court meetings, unlike the sesame official below.
There was no special summons, and the meeting had nothing to do with them.
What was discussed above, the people below just need to know how to execute it.
At first glance, it seems that he has reached the sky in one step. However, as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, his duties are very simple, and he only has the responsibility of being in charge of temple sacrifices.
In addition, the original Ministry of Etiquette did not set up a separate department for this aspect alone and find some people to specialize in this.
In the past, when Li Taixuan was still there, when necessary, even if there was a shortage of manpower, he could always second some people to places like Qintian Prison, Star Observation Deck, and form a temporary group with people pulled from other departments of the Ministry of Rites.
A department that comes to do things.
When there is nothing wrong, this department is just an empty shell, and there are not even two people working there. Qin Yang is quite familiar with this situation.
Most of the time, there is nothing much to do. Even if there are matters related to temple festivals, the specifications are not handled by the head of the etiquette department personally.
In other words, even if Qin Yang is now in power, just talking about funerals, there will be at most a few dozen people in the entire Great Ying Dynasty. After the death, Qin Yang will need to personally handle the funeral arrangements according to the specifications.
And these dozens of people, who want to die smoothly and enjoy the standard after death, may not be seen again in eighteen hundred years.
So, Qin Yangte understood that Emperor Ying was so generous for Mao this time.
Speaking of which, the rank is quite high and the power is not small. It is not an empty title, and it can fully afford the word "hefty reward".
But, usually nothing happens to him.
It's similar to a false title, but it's not a false title.
Emperor Ying was happy and reassured by this trick, but no one in the court, from the kings of Zhao and Zhou to the wedding dress, could find fault with it.
Even Qin Yang himself was extremely satisfied.
Just talking about this kind of arrangement that satisfies everyone, Qin Yang asked himself that he couldn't do it.
If he were given a position where he would be as busy as a dog every day and would have to go to court every day, he might not be happy with it.
In his current position, he doesn't have to see Emperor Ying's Dharmakaya at all. He can discuss anything in court on weekdays and it's nothing to do with him.
He just needs to get a job, receive a salary, drink tea and bask in the sun.
All the way back to Lidu, the wedding dress was returned to Lidu, and the imperial edict of canonization was also delivered. After asking specifically, there was no need to thank him or anything, so Qin Yang returned to Jedi Manor with peace of mind.
The process of going out this time deviated somewhat from the plan, but generally it was still within control. There were no surprises in the process, and there is nothing special to mention.
Now he finally came back, and got the position he was most satisfied with. Returning to Jedi Manor, he kicked away the golden pig that came to greet him. Qin Yang went to the backyard by himself, took a nice bath, and slept normally.
After sleeping, he got up and looked at everything in the manor.
Generally there is no difference.
Hei Pi is still sleeping, and he doesn't know when he will break out of his cocoon. Calculating, it has only been ten or twenty years since he fell into a deep sleep. It is normal that he has not woken up.
In this world, major transformation itself takes a long time. If a stronger monk can practice in seclusion once at will, it will be a small retreat for 180 years.
It is abnormal for a person like him who is over a hundred years old and has rarely been in seclusion for a long time to be ready to open the door of God.
In the Jedi Manor, the ban on the golden pig seems to have been weakened a lot, and the aura emanating from the pot of peerless treasure soup cooked in the backyard has condensed into mist, gathering together and never dispersing. This is a sign that the power has climbed to a new level.
The changes that naturally occur after reaching a certain state.
It seems that during this period, the Golden Pig has been cruel and has tortured itself countless times.
"Boss, you're back." The golden pig came over shamelessly. Yesterday, it kicked it, but it didn't react at all. It is now stuck in Qinyang, and it is impossible to leave even if it is beaten to death.
After staying in Qin Yang, I have never been targeted by the world again, and I can still remove the seal bit by bit. Although it takes strength, it doesn't matter.
I finally saw hope, and I felt better even if I didn’t cry.
"Add the ingredients yourself, I won't care about you. I'm busy recently, just don't cause any trouble for me." Qin Yang rolled his eyes at the golden pig and entered the study alone.
I'm too lazy to say anything to this guy, I have other things to be busy with later.
Entering the study room, a book beetle with a faint golden halo flew out of an ancient book on the bookshelf.
The book beetle landed on the back of his hand, its wings trembling slightly, exuding joy.
Qin Yang randomly pulled out a book from the bookshelf. After opening it, it was completely blank and the content was gone. When he picked up a jade slip again, the content inside also completely disappeared.
After checking, all the classics left in the study, no matter what they were written as, had been completely devoured by book beetles.
Here are not only the classics that Qin Yang collected from the outside world, but also some lost classics that he found after many years of wandering. After the book beetles devoured these, he finally completed his transformation again.
Qin Yang touched the book beetle and took out a piece of miscellaneous jade made of very poor material. The jade seemed to have been corroded and penetrated by the death and yin energy, and became very rubbish.
This jade pendant was given to him by Old Man Wei back then.
It is said that it was left behind by the last master of the Thieving Sect, and it contains the inheritance of the Thieving Heaven Technique. However, this thing cannot be cultivated at all, and the real method cannot be seen.
According to Old Man Wei, if you want to see the magic door, you must first steal the opportunity before you can see it.
This sentence has a somewhat paradoxical meaning. At that time, Qin Yang thought that he had to practice it first before he could see the Dharma.
He didn't care what it actually was. Whether he could cultivate the Heaven Stealing Technique or not, and whether he could find the Zhu Daoting in the future, all depended on his needs, not Old Man Wei's opinion.
If he could find it, and he himself felt that this was indeed the most suitable and best, he would not be rebellious like a child and insist on doing the opposite.
But similarly, if he could really master the Heaven-Stealing Technique and found the Zhudao Court, after considering the choice, he felt that practicing this method would do more harm than good. The disadvantages were unacceptable, and he would give up this major without hesitation.
Dharma door.
The final choice has nothing to do with Old Man Wei's opinion.
Compared to the Zhu Daoting, Qin Yang himself is quite concerned about the Seven Killing Scriptures of the Big Dipper, the Star Fighting Formation, and the Humanoid Map Cannon. Together with his unlimited mana, he is simply the Master among the Masters.
His thoughts drifted back, Qin Yang fumbled for the jade pendant in his hand and handed it to Shu Zhi.
I tried it once before, but the book beetle had no reaction to this jade pendant. It should be because the book beetle itself is too weak.
This time, the book beetle's tentacles touched the jade pendant and turned into a light golden light, which disappeared into the jade pendant.
Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, I guessed it right.
No matter how it changes, if the jade pendant itself really records something, then to the bookworm, the jade pendant is just a tool to carry delicious food, and the content inside and the jade pendant itself can be regarded as two different things.
As long as the book beetle thinks it can digest it, or in other words, can possess it, the content inside is just the difference between a big bone in sauce and a roasted whole lamb.
Anyway, I can’t understand the content itself.
Qin Yang held the jade pendant in his hand and waited quietly for three hours.
Three hours later, the jade pendant turned into powder and scattered between his fingers. The beetle fluttered its little wings and landed in his palm.
The original pair of antennae were forked like antlers, and the original six-petal mouthparts also had a piercing-sucking mouthpart that resembled a mosquito.
The book beetle didn't understand what it had devoured, but it also changed a little bit.
Qin Yang pointed at the book beetle to see what the book beetle had devoured.
Soon, he found the things he had just devoured, countless messy words, and runes with unknown meanings, as if he was evolving something, and it had not yet completed its evolution.
Qin Yang looked at it and didn't understand what it was. He could only confirm that the content was indeed peeled off and swallowed by the book beetle using a method that a monk could not use. The original arrangement lost its effect and the content began to evolve and recover automatically.
The original look.
It will take some time for the evolution to be completed.
After thinking about it, since book beetles have evolved to this point, is there another thing that I can try?
With a wave of his hand, a golden book that looked like it was made of gold appeared on the table in front of him. The golden book had four sides and was closed upside down by the locks extending from the back of the book.
This is the Book of Ten Thousand Laws that was taken away from the Secret Treasury of the Xuanjing Department back then. It records the essence of many classics collected by the Dayin Dynasty.
Of course, no one knows whether it is true or not. It was just the Dharmakaya of the former emperor that he boasted about.
Qin Yang tried many methods, but couldn't open it. Later, he gave up trying completely and kept letting the dust fall to the bottom of the box.
Just wait for the book beetle to grow up and try again. If it doesn't work, it will have no value and you can only exchange it for something valuable.
Putting the book beetle on the Book of Ten Thousand Dharmas, the book beetle circled around the golden book and slowly turned into a pale golden halo, flying rapidly.
After a while, the book beetle was seen lying on a small, undetectable scratch on the edge of the gold book. Its sucking mouthparts slowly merged with the scratch. The book beetle itself also turned into golden light and disappeared completely.
In the golden book.
Qin Yang laughed and put away the gold book.
I'm afraid I won't have to feed book beetles for a long time.
I don’t know if the book beetle can evolve to the point where it can eat the classic treasure book after eating this golden book, and become a living classic treasure book.
In other words, does this golden book itself contain classics?
He has no way of knowing now.
In a good mood, Qin Yang calculated the time and decided it was time to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to show up. He couldn't fish without checking in once.
Today is my first time to go to work, so I put on court clothes to show my solemnity.
After finishing the order, Qin Yang sat in a jade chariot and headed straight away from the capital.
After entering the city, he first went to the Ministry of Personnel. He had to go to the Ministry of Personnel to receive his official seal. Emperor Ying did not have time to issue the seal to him personally. He was busy dealing with the follow-up of the Kuishan incident recently.
After the wedding dress has entered Lidu, she is also in charge of the subsequent matters. After all, everyone knows that in the entire Great Ying Dynasty, she is currently the only one who can get along with the cold and powerful Kuishan Mountain Ghost.
talk.
All the way to the official department, Qin Yang was poured cold water on him.
The Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel was away, and the Shilang Zuo who was on duty told Qin Yang that he did not have enough authority to issue the official seal to Qin Yang. He had to wait for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to go to court and handle it himself.
Qin Yang was kind-hearted and easy to talk to, so he waited here quietly.
I waited until noon, but I still hadn’t seen the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, who was said to control the promotion and dismissal of officials in the divine dynasty.
Qin Yang scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
what is this?
Should I wear small shoes and show off my power, or should I make things look bad for him?
He had never offended this Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After thinking about it, he did not expect that he had any grudges against this Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Since there is no personal grudge, it is naturally due to other reasons.
It is said that this official minister supports the King of Zhou. Is this a signal from the King of Zhou?
No, he's just a nominal right-hand minister, and given the current situation, he only has a high official position.
This is not like the way King Zhou behaves. Besides, at this time, if he had a grudge against himself, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the wedding dress? Offending the wedding dress would do him no good.
After thinking about it, Qin Yang smiled playfully, turned around and left the staff.
…
At the end of the court meeting, all the ministers left the palace.
The Minister of Hubu, with a smile on his face, caught up with the Minister of War in two steps.
"Master Zou, please stay."
Zou Hongshen frowned slightly and wanted to walk away, but he didn't want to offend anyone.
He used to be a member of the old prince, and he was not beaten to death for his negligence in the north. It was all because of the old prince's maneuvering. However, the old prince has become cold now, and the Ministry of War has almost become a decoration.
He didn't want to easily get involved in the affairs of King Zhou and King Zhao, but he couldn't show it too much. The Minister of Hubu supported King Zhao, and maybe he was here to test his attitude this time.
"Master Yun, do you have any advice?"
"I don't take it as advice. It's just that His Majesty just said something about the Shangui Empress Temple. The Ministry of Revenue needs to allocate funds, and the Ministry of War also needs to contribute to prevent trouble. Therefore, I want to discuss these matters with Mr. Zou first."
"Oh, so that's it." Zou Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was official business, it didn't matter.
The two left Miyagi together.
When the two left, the Minister of Libu happened to turn a corner. He saw the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of War walking away together, talking and laughing, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It broke, when did it happen? King Zhao had already taken action first.
As soon as he thought of this, the Minister of Civil Affairs hurriedly left the palace and went straight to the Zhou Palace.
After the Minister of Civil Affairs left, the man who came to inform him finally got rid of the little trouble he encountered and arrived outside the palace.
After asking the guards, they found out that they had already left, and the person who came to report was a little surprised.
He was the only way back to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so why didn't he meet him?
