"Please make it clear to you," Cheng Weigao knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.

Qin Feng sneered: "It seems you still haven't figured it out!"

He stood up, walked around the house for a few times, and said coldly: "Everyone has his own interests. It is never wrong to safeguard his own interests, but this is within certain rules. Cheng Weigao, in order to protect his own interests, you actually threaten me? In fact, the court?"

"I must not dare!" Cheng Weigao's face turned pale, and he raised his head and shouted for grievances.

"Don't dare?" Qin Feng stood in front of him and sneered: "But you have done it. I just mentioned to you that you want to work in Yuejing City, so you immediately told me that you are going to retire and return home. Tell me, what is this not a threat?"

"I, I am old..." Cheng Weigao whispered.

"Are you old?" Qin Feng laughed: "Are you 70 years old or you are sick? You are not 60 years old this year, right? You can still eat two or three hundred chickens' tongues in one meal!"

Cheng Weigao fell and sat on the ground, looking at Qin Feng, making no sound.

Qin Feng leaned over and stared in his eyes: "You know, the court cannot do anything to you, because you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and you are a hero of the Ming Dynasty. If the court treats meritorious officials like you, it will make people in the world feel disappointed."

"I dare not have such thoughts."

"Don't you?" Qin Feng stood up straight: "You're really guessing right, whether it's the court or me, it's really awkward. Cheng Gong, you're very clear about the Ming Dynasty's official system. You have been in Yongping County for more than twenty years. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you have been in Yongping County for more than ten years. In the Ming Dynasty, you've been in charge of the country. In the Ming Dynasty, even Ma Xiangnan Ma Gong cannot compare with you. But even Ma Gong has left Changyang County now."

Qin Feng sneered and said, "Do you think your contribution will be greater than that of Ma Gong?"

"I dare not compare with Ma Gong!" Cheng Weigao whispered.

"When Ma Gong went to Changyang County, he had nothing, and Changyang County had nothing. Now when he left Changyang County, he still had nothing. However, Changyang County was one of the richest county governors in the Ming Dynasty. He dedicated the best time of his life to Changyang County. He was younger than you, but if you two stood together, everyone would think that you were definitely two generations, and he would be an elder." Qin Feng sighed. "It was such a person who had devoted everything to the Ming Dynasty and should have enjoyed his success well. When the court needed him to leave, he said nothing, handed over his work, stepped on the carriage, and went to the capital to take office."

"Not everyone can become a wise minister of Ma Gong, and we don't require all officials to become such a wise minister." Qin Feng looked at Cheng Weigao, "I think it is human nature like you, but how dare you threaten me and the Political Affairs Hall? Do you think I really don't dare to do anything to you? If you get angry, what can I do if I kill you with one knife? Yongping County may panic for a while, but I think no one is willing to give up the peaceful life now and stand up for you, right? After three or five years, who else will remember your Cheng family?"

"I know I am guilty of my crime. I shouldn't think I have made merits and try to bargain with Your Majesty." Cheng Weigao sweated like a slurry.

Qin Feng exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

"I am talking about old feelings, so I gave you a chance. Fortunately, you took it." Qin Feng snorted coldly, "It's not too late to stop the cliff. This is the reason why I came to Youfeng County."

"I thank Your Majesty for being generous and prosperous, and I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Please let Your Majesty observe this."

"If you can't even do this, you won't be alive now!" Qin Feng laughed: "Get up, thank you for your sins, admit your mistakes, and know your mistakes, and you will be able to correct them. I have been here for three days in Fengxian County, so you will accompany me to take a look, and see representative businessmen and local people by the way!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cheng Weigao climbed up, feeling cold all over his body and felt extremely uncomfortable. He just sweated like a slurry, and he was sweating all over his underwear.

Looking at Cheng Weigao's appearance, Qin Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart. This person who was a great and powerful person in Yongping County was frightened to the point of being promoted to the common people. Perhaps he would be even worse than those who promoted to the common people, because the common people's demands were smaller, and perhaps those people had no demands in front of him, because a small clerk might be more practical than him. On the contrary, ministers like Cheng Weigao and such great people in the world wanted too much, so they were even more afraid of themselves.

"Go and change your clothes, just casual clothes. I think the food and drinks outside must be prepared, so let's have a few drinks." Qin Feng and Xi smiled, as if the same person was not the same person who was furious just now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm so rude." Cheng Weigao said embarrassedly.

"No, it's not rude. This means you still have the heart of honor and disgrace. I'm very happy to see this." Qin Feng said with a smile.

After a stick of incense, the two reunited and sat at the wine table. The wine and food were indeed very simple. Cheng Weigao would never go against Qin Feng's intentions. He dared to know that Qin Feng had always had low requirements for food, unlike himself, who never tires of food and fine stew. However, the dishes seemed simple, but they were never easy to make. The luxury that seemed to be ordinary was the real luxury.

Eunuch Le poured the wine in the glass for the two of them, and Cheng Weigao stood up with his hands holding the cup, "Your Majesty, I am going to accompany you, I judge the gentleman's belly by the heart of a villain. Now, I think about it, I am frightened."

Qin Feng smiled and held the cup and clinked him, "Among you and my king and minister, of course, we have to start and end well. Cheng Gong, people have seven emotions, six desires, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, which is not surprising. There are very few saints in this world, and it is precisely because of the rareness that they are called saints. I never oppose everyone's pursuit of a better life and enjoy a better life. Of course, it is within the scope of the law. I am clear about your Cheng family. Although there are more than the rules, there is no such thing as a serious crime. More importantly, you use the places where you can use power to seek personal gain."

Cheng Weigao was ashamed and speechless.

"Do you know why the Ming Dynasty did not allow an official to rule in one place for too long? It was because you were worried about such a problem. Is Yongping County now the Yongping County of the Ming Dynasty or the Yongping County of the Cheng family?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Sweat on Cheng Weigao's face suddenly appeared again. He was about to stand up and apologize, but Qin Feng pressed it and couldn't move immediately.

"An official stays in a place for too long, and does not have a party, and does not have friends, will naturally form a circle of interests. It can be said that the current situation in Yongping County is the negative teaching material for the Political Affairs Hall to formulate this rule." Qin Feng smiled. "This is both for the Ming Dynasty and for you. If this continues, Cheng Gong may be a jail for your future."

"It's because I don't have enough tools and can't see these."

Qin Feng laughed: "Okay, haven't you figured it out now? Tell me, after returning to Shangjing City, do you want to go to the yamen to become an official?"

Cheng Weigao blinked his eyes, and he really didn't expect Qin Feng to ask him like this, could he ask him directly? Or was His Majesty another test of him?

After thinking for a while, when Qin Feng was still smiling at him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, everyone has a strong and upbeat heart. With my ideas, of course, it is best to go to the political affairs hall to do things. But if you think about it again, my abilities and talents are not the only ones who can look at the world. My abilities are the only ones who can manage the land. However, I have been in the local area for many years and have been really tired of these complicated matters, so this time I go back to the capital with Your Majesty, I just want to find a leisurely yamen and enjoy life well. As Your Majesty knows, my family wealth will never be used up in several lifetimes."

Qin Feng laughed: "You are so frank, you have enough experience in the Political Affairs Hall, but I don't hide it from telling you that your talents are indeed not capable of planning the world, so your choice is undoubtedly correct. Go to the Ministry of Rites and become the Left Minister first. Mr. Xiao is older and his spirit is not as good as before. You follow him to study hard for a few years. After Mr. Xiao is raised, he can successfully take charge of the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of Rites is also a member of the Political Affairs Hall."

Cheng Weigao was both surprised and happy. He thought that after this, he was afraid that he would be neglected by the emperor, and he did not want the emperor to hand over the Ministry of Rites to himself. The Ministry of Rites in the Ming Dynasty was not a cold yamen. What Mr. Xiao is doing now is a world-renowned cultural and educational matter. The amount of money allocated to the Ministry of Rites every year is huge. More importantly, institutions such as the Jingshi University and Yuejing Medical College are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty was a warm bench.

"I thank you for your respect. I will never dare to let Your Majesty down." He stood up and bowed deeply.

"Drink, drink." Qin Feng smiled and said, "I said earlier that our monarch and ministers must start and end well. Cheng Gong, who do you hope to take over as your Yong'an County Magistrate? Your recommendation is not only me, but also the Political Affairs Hall will consider it carefully."

"I will let Your Majesty and the Political Affairs Hall choose the county magistrate in Yongping County." Cheng Weigao said without hesitation.

Qin Feng took a chopstick of vegetables and said casually: "If you don't recommend it, I have a candidate here, Chen Ye from Wuling County, what do you think?"

Chen Ye! Cheng Weigao's mind flashed through this person's information, and he was already very happy. When Chai Ziming left, he said that the choice of His Majesty to take over as the county magistrate was His Majesty's real treatment for him. Since it was Chen Ye, he could truly put his heart in his stomach.

"Although Yongping County is also a major agricultural county, what really makes Yongping rich is business. Lord Chen Ye and Chen are the very suitable candidates." He said excitedly.

"Since you have no objection, then that's it!"
