Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

"Yunhe, we are here to congratulate you. Congratulations, Qin Tuiguan, you have finally made it."

Feng Baochu handed over the congratulatory gift with a happy face.

Qin Yunhe quickly bowed his hands and thanked him: "Congratulations, thank you for coming here, my dear brother."

After Feng Bao's birth, Qin Weilai's smile was not so natural. He bowed stiffly and reluctantly and said, "Congratulations, Brother Qin."

Qin Yunhe was appointed as an official, and the ones who felt the most complicated were probably Qin Weilai and Feng Baochu.

Who would have thought that the first person to receive the job vacancy would be Qin Yunhe?

"Brother Feng, Brother Qin, please come in and sit down."

Although there were some unpleasantness before, there is no reason to turn away someone who comes to congratulate you.

Besides, Qin Yunhe didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Feng Baochu sat down and said with a smile: "Brother Qin is really amazing. It hasn't been long since he got the position."

Qin Weilai said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "As expected, the Ministry of Personnel is close to the water tower. Brother Feng and I heard yesterday that you were appointed to an official position and then we learned that a batch of vacancies had just been released."

Qin Yunhe naturally heard the resentment in Qin Weilai's words, and he must be blaming him for not telling them the news.

Actually, this cannot be blamed on Qin Yunhe. One reason is that they had a bad argument before, and Qin Weilai has not paid much attention to him recently.

Another thing is that Qin Yunhe himself had only known about it for a few days, and he only found out about the specific vacancy in the past two days, so there hasn't been a suitable time to talk about it.

"In fact, I only heard about it a few days ago, and these vacancies were officially released before I was appointed as an official. I haven't found a chance to say it yet..."

Feng Baochu hurriedly said, "Nothing, nothing. All departments have been busy recently, so it's understandable that Brother Yunhe didn't have time to spare. If it wasn't for the holiday, Brother Weilai and I wouldn't have had the time to come and congratulate you."

Feng Baochu turned to Qin Weilai and said, "Brother Weilai, Yunhe may misunderstand what you said. Aren't you happy for Yunhe?"

Qin Weilai also knew that he couldn't provoke Qin Yunhe at this time, so he could only smile and say, "I'm just complaining, not blaming my dear brother Yunhe. I'm naturally happy for Yunhe in my heart."

"That's right. We are all happy for Brother Yun He."

Feng Baochu said again: "I remember that Brother Qin's hometown is Xu Ning Mansion, right?"

"That's right. I'm from Buyeo County in Xu Ning Prefecture. It's only a day's journey away from Xu Ning Prefecture, so it's very convenient to travel. It's a pleasant surprise to be able to work in Xu Ning Prefecture."

"Alas, I still don't know where I will be assigned in the future, and I don't want to go back home, but I will burn incense to pray for any place I can reach within three days.

Brother Yunhe, do you know what vacancies are available this time?"

"In fact, I only found out about the specific vacancies two days ago. There should be a magistrate and a county magistrate in Qingyun County, a county magistrate in Yongnian County, and two prosecutors. They are all in Bashu, which is quite remote..."

After hearing about these job vacancies, Feng Baochu and Qin Weilai fell silent.

Not to mention the two prosecutors, the county magistrate did not quite meet their expectations. Although the county magistrate of Yongnian County was also of the seventh rank, after all, there was a county magistrate above him, and it was a county in the capital, so he was always a superior.

Then only the magistrate of Qingyun County is worth fighting for.

However, there is only one.

However, the most urgent task now is not which official position to strive for, but how to strive for it.

"How about my dear brother, can I ask you which way you took..."

Qin Yunhe sighed inwardly. After all, they asked.

But how should he answer this? No matter how he answers, it will be troublesome.

Qin Weilai saw that he was hesitant and said with a sneer, "Are you looking for the boss again?"

Feng Baochu naturally saw Qin Yunhe's dilemma and said awkwardly, "Forget it. Even if Brother Yunhe told us, we may not be able to get it resolved. Let's not talk about it anymore."

Having said that, the relationship between the three people was obviously not as harmonious as before. They chatted for a few more sentences awkwardly, and then Feng Baochu and Qin Weilai stood up to say goodbye.

Today, Qin Yunhe had originally invited the two leaders and He Wenshuang to have a drink and celebrate. But when Feng Baochu and Qin Weilai came, he intended to keep the two of them for dinner.

However, neither of them was in the mood to eat at the moment, so they said a few perfunctory words and left in a hurry.

After seeing Feng Baochu and Qin Weilai off, it was almost time, so Qin Yunhe went to ask the shopkeeper to order the dishes.

During these days in the Ministry of Rites and Personnel, he had received a lot of care from the two directors and He Wenshuang. Now that Qin Yunhe had been appointed as an official, he invited the three people a day in advance and prepared to set up a table of wine to entertain the three people during his day off.

"Yunhe, congratulations."

In fact, several people had already congratulated them before, but since they came just to celebrate this time, Manager Han solemnly congratulated them again as soon as they met.

"Thank you, Master Han. Please come in."

When the head of the Ministry of Personnel saw Director Han coming in, he said, "Old Han, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you."

He Wenshuang and Lu, the director of the Ministry of Personnel, had arrived earlier. When they saw Han, the director, come in, they stood up and greeted each other.

"Haha, you guys came early, but you still have to wait for me."

"Why is this tea so sweet? Of course I have to taste it first, hahahaha..."

These people have a lot of contact with each other on a daily basis and are familiar with each other. When they meet, they can't help but joke with each other and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

After a few rounds of drinks, several people, as senior officials, couldn't help but give Qin Yunhe some more advice and suggestions.

"What? To be honest, you are a really good young man."

Manager Han was the oldest, so he spoke first. "Old Lu and I have seen how diligent you are. We are happy for you to get the position. But there is one thing I must remind you of."

Qin Yunhe quickly put on a listening posture: "Yes, Mr. Han, please speak."

"You are too honest. This won't work in the future."

Qin Yun knew that he was honest, but he was confused as to why he was mentioned specifically.

Manager Lu also said: "Isn't it? You are too sincere to others and you don't judge people very well. Qin Weilai and Feng Bao are the two..."

Manager Lu shook his head.

When Qin Yunhe heard the boss mention Qin Weilai and Feng Baochu, he was shocked. What did these two people do to make the boss so disapproving?

He Wenshuang knew that Qin Yunhe was a simple-minded person, but he didn't expect that he really didn't know about this.

"Brother Qin, don't you know that Qin Weilai and Feng Bao are out and about, and it's said that you bribed the two officials to get transferred to the Ministry of Personnel?"

Before, Qin Weilai did think that he was able to go to the Ministry of Personnel by using his connections, but he didn't expect that they would spread his speculation as the truth.

Qin Yunhe felt a chill in his heart and became uneasy. His first reaction was to see if it would have any impact on the two people in charge.

"I really didn't know they would spread it like this. Did it cause trouble to the two leaders?"

The two leaders were only helping him out of kindness, and he would be too ashamed to face them if he got into trouble because of it.

"Oh, it's okay. Except for the new Jinshi who knows nothing, who would take this seriously? It's just an opportunity to work in the Ministry of Personnel. There will be an opportunity sooner or later. It won't affect us."

Han Zhushi also said: "It doesn't have much impact on us, but you can't be so devoted to everyone in the future. Especially when you are in office, there are many officials, superiors and subordinates, gatekeepers in front of the government, hundreds of people have thousands of personalities, you still have to know people and distinguish them."

Qin Yunhe naturally understood the good intentions of Han, and quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your advice, Master. I will keep it in mind."

Manager Lu pulled him and said, "Why are you being so polite to us? Sit down quickly. Old Han, you too, just speak nicely. You're being so serious, it's scary."

When Manager Han heard what Manager Lu said, he felt that his tone was too serious and couldn't help but laugh.

They had to report for work the next day, so they didn't dare to drink too much. Gradually, they lost interest in drinking. During the chat, they inevitably reminded Qin Yunhe about some matters concerning leaving Beijing.

"Have you set a date for leaving Beijing?"

"It's settled. We'll leave Beijing in three days."

"Well, collect the officer's certificate and travel expenses in advance, so you can be more relaxed when you set off."

"Yes. I have already received the official certificate and travel expenses. I am just waiting to set off."

……

"On the way back, it's inevitable that local officials will visit you. This is also an opportunity to make friends with them. Maybe we will work together in the future. Don't be too repulsive."

"Old Han, you are really... How can you be so aloof from others?"

"Since you care about me, I just want to give Yun He some advice."

"Okay, okay, you tell me."

……

Three days may not seem like a short time, but it is actually not a long time.

Now that Qin Yunhe has been appointed to an official position, whether as a junior or as a young man who has been promoted, he naturally has to go to thank Wu Tonghuo and say goodbye.

Wu Tonghuo encouraged Qin Yunhe a few more words, and told him to enforce the law impartially and strictly when he took up the post of magistrate.

Qin Yunhe naturally agreed to all of them before leaving.

I said goodbye to several acquaintances in Beijing one by one, bought gifts for my family and teachers, packed my luggage and hired a carriage, and the day of departure had arrived.

The carriages rolled out of the city gate.

Qin Yunhe looked back at the capital, feeling a lot of emotion: if he had only passed the imperial examination, he would have risen to prominence, but he didn't want to waste several months. Now, he can finally go home.
