C264 The Secretary of State's Predicament
At this moment, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua were standing on both sides of the Dragon Throne. Ye Tian glanced around and then tiptoed to stand in the middle.
Seeing Ye Tian walking out from the crowd, the Emperor who was sitting on the Dragon Throne said, "Minister Ye, the People of Oca will arrive tomorrow. Other than Prince Ivan, there is also Devil Tutor Mage Group."
He looked at Ye Tian, and continued: "Last time, during the morning assembly, we talked about Oca and how Shangjing City would conduct a state visit, and proposed to hold the martial arts competition, what did you say?"
Ye Tian shrugged: "It's just a Devil Tutor Mage Group, so let's compete then." Since this person has issued a written challenge, if I were to back down, wouldn't that cause the might of my Tiangong Empire to decline? "
The Emperor smiled in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you will be responsible for coordinating the Oca Diplomatic Corps's visit."
After saying all that, the emperor turned his head and looked at Minister Yang Qiann, and continued: "Ministry of Rites Administration combined with Imperial Household Department, do a good job with this matter, and do not forget the prestige of my Tiangong Empire."
Hearing the Emperor's words, Yang Qiann's brows twitched as he glanced at Qin Ruhua.
However, Qin Ruhua slightly squinted his eyes, as if he didn't hear the Emperor's words.
Helpless, Yang Qiann could only step forward and say, "This subject accepts the order."
When Yang Qiann said these three words, Qin Ruhua, who was standing at the side, quickly moved his eyelids.
He directly made the Ministry of Rites Administration match up with the Imperial Household Department and was in charge of receiving the Oca Diplomatic Corps. Moreover, the words used by the emperor were very subtle.
The reason why Qin Ruhua's conflict of thoughts was so intense was because the emperor intentionally allowed the hand of Imperial Household Department to be extended into the Internal Affairs Bureau's door.
Previously, when the emperor authorized Ye Tian to set up the Divine Weapon Camp, Lin Chengzhou had deliberately opposed it. It was equivalent to creating an army outside of the control and supervision of the Military Court.
At this moment, Qin Ruhua was also faced with such a situation. At least in regards to receiving Oca Diplomatic Corps, Ministry of Rites Administration was under Ye Tian's control.
If Ye Tian was meticulous and his methods were ruthless, he could use this time to receive Oca Diplomatic Corps and place his own men into the Ministry of Rites Administration to nurture his own faction.
This was what Qin Ruhua was worried about.
But now that the Emperor had spoken, there was no possibility for Jun Wu Yi to continue speaking, and there was no longer any possibility for him to change his words. Qin Ruhua could only accept this decision. After that, he would decide on his next course of action.
At this time, the emperor glanced at the ministers and said once more, "Is there anything else you want to play? "If not, then leave the court."
Ye Tian walked out of the Hall of Diligent Government. Looking at the sun above his head, he felt a little dizzy. Although he had the experience of receiving a report back to the capital last time, a visit from a king was a form of courtesy between countries. No matter how important or how high the staff were, it was obviously not on the same level as a report back to the capital.
Ye Tian knew nothing about the etiquette and details of the state visit.
In addition, from the perspective of time, there was no time to delay. Tomorrow's Oca Diplomatic Corps was about to arrive, that was to say, before tonight, Ye Tian had to properly arrange everything.
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly patted Ye Tian's shoulder.
Ye Tian turned around with a smile and said, "Master Yang."
The Minister of Rites, Yang Qiann, had a worried look on his face as he looked around.
At this time, the other officials who were participating in the morning assembly had long since left the gates of Hall of Diligent Government and went to their respective offices.
Yang Qiann put his hand to his mouth and leaned close to Ye Tian's ear. He whispered, "Manager Ye, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you've seen it yourself. I'm really troubled by Lord Qin's face."
Ye Tian originally had a favorable impression of this Minister of Rites. Previously, when he received the guests back to the capital to report on their duties, Ye Tian had sent Yang Qiann the Dendrobium Ye Clan's Compound Power Oral Liquid.
Ye Tian was very satisfied with their cooperation.
But Ye Tian had read through the ceremonial books carefully at the time, and now that he thought about it, there was no State visit process. Presumably, the State visit must have had other rules, but they were rarely used, so Yang Qiann did not give them to Ye Tian last time.
Looking at Yang Qiann's bitter face, Ye Tian laughed and said, "Lord Yang, you are overthinking things. I have no intention of making things difficult for you."
Seeing that Ye Tian didn't seem to care, Yang Qiann added, "There are a few key points in the state visit. If Manager Ye doesn't know about it, there must be a problem."
At this point, Yang Qiann's voice became even lower and he continued: "But Lord Qin had specifically instructed me not to let you know these few crucial details. The last time I went back to report my post, Sir Qin was already suspecting me. This time, I really do not dare to teach you in private. "
Hearing Yang Qiann's words, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Damn Qin Ruhua, you even specially instructed me to make a fool out of myself."
Looking at Yang Qiann's pained face, Ye Tian could feel it. Although in the morning assembly just now, the emperor had specially arranged for the Ministry of Rites Administration to cooperate with the internal department to handle the welcoming affairs, Ye Tian knew that the so-called cooperation was something worth writing about.
Ministry of Rites Administration didn't need to make any suggestions at all, they only needed Ye Tian to give the order directly. However, Ye Tian didn't know a thing. Since he didn't know anything about receiving guests, how could he possibly arrange the right tasks and jobs?
If tomorrow, Yang Qiann really did make a fool of himself and lost face for the empire, then the Emperor's anger would go to the Ministry of Rites Administration. Yang Qiann was right, he would only listen to Manager Ye's wishes.
Moreover, with the protection of an old fox like Qin Ruhua, even if the emperor got angry, Yang Qiann wouldn't lose much.
After a moment of consideration, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at Yang Qiann, saying, "Rest assured, Master Yang. I don't know the key details. I want to give the People of Oca a new set of etiquette, so that they can experience the new style and appearance of Tiangong Empire. "
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Yang Qiann looked very surprised and uncertain.
Honestly speaking, with Yang Qiann's personality, as a Minister of Ceremony for many years, he would never be willing to embarrass himself in front of people from other nations. However, Qin Ruhua had given him direct pressure, so he must make Ye Tian lose face in this reception.
Originally, Yang Qiann wanted to quietly tell Ye Tian about those few key details. As long as there was no major problem, it would be fine to have a little problem.
But when he thought of Qin Ruhua's suspicious eyes, Yang Qiann felt a chill down his spine. In this imperial court, there were only one or two officials who did not have a good ending after being suspected by Qin Ruhua.
Yang Qiann was very clear that Qin Ruhua had the intention to test him in this incident.
If this time Ye Tian still did the entire reception ceremony flawlessly, what Yang Qiann faced would be Qin Ruhua's extremely cruel method.
Therefore, no matter what, Yang Qiann would never dare to privately teach Ye Tian Empire's etiquette again.
However, as the Minister of Rites and Justice, he was about to become the biggest joke in the hands of Ye Tian just as he was about to receive the highest quality State visit, yet Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order seemed to take it very seriously.
Yang Qiann could only stomp his feet, let out a "heh" and left in a hurry.
Seeing Yang Qiann's disappointed look, Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself, "I'm not that anxious yet, but you're already so anxious."
Returning to the Jade Lake West Garden, Ye Tian dove head first into the North Chamber, sat on the chair, and began to seriously think.
At the moment, Qin Ruhua, this old fox, was determined to make him look like an idiot. Looking at Yang Qiann's appearance, he didn't want to get any details about the reception ceremony from his mouth.
Since that's the case, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and said: "Then we should completely abandon the original reception procedures, create a new path, and start a new furnace."
Thinking about this, Ye Tian suddenly had a thought. He raised his head in a daze and continued to talk, "Can you draw lessons from your previous life, when you were receiving etiquette from the state guest, the Three Armies."
Ye Tian's mind was like flint. He quickly thought it over and already had an idea.
Suddenly standing up, Ye Tian walked to the door, opened it and quickly walked out.
Arriving at the Jade Lake West Garden gate, Ye Tian called for Hong Xing and sat in the carriage.
After rushing into the Royal Labor Union gate, Ruan Ji was overseeing the workers in the workshop of the first manufacturing plant to continue making Core Crystal Rifle.
Seeing Ruan Ji, Ye Tian didn't have time to greet him. He just waved his hand and walked straight to the training field in the backyard.
Knowing that Ye Tian had urgent business with Instructor Lin, Ruan Ji merely nodded his head.
At this time, all the officers and soldiers of the Divine Weapon Camp were currently training.
Ye Tian stood at the edge of the training field and shouted at Lin Qiyu from afar. Lin Qiyu ordered everyone to stay put and rest, but turned around and walked towards Ye Tian with long legs.
The training field was very empty. In the middle, a tall figure wearing a dark brown military uniform, with a perfect figure and a pair of long black boots, walked towards Ye Tian with a sonorous and forceful manner like a model.1
Ye Tian stared at Lin Qiyu's body with his eyes wide open. He couldn't help but scan her body a dozen times. After getting enough of the addiction, Lin Qiyu also walked in front of Ye Tian.
First, she revealed a charming smile. Lin Qiyu stood at attention with a "pa" sound. Then, like how Ye Tian taught her, she saluted and said, "Lord, you've come."
Ye Tian gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Qiyu's slender thighs which were reflected under her military uniform. He thought to himself, "This girl, showing such an expression, she must be trying to seduce me, right?"
However, Ye Tian couldn't care less about flirting with Lin Qiyu as he said seriously, "I have a difficult task for you."
At this point, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at the sky, and continued: "It's already time, you still have more than half a day. Tomorrow, Oca Diplomatic Corps and that Lao Wu Zi, Prince Ivan, are coming to Shangjing City for a state visit, I am in charge of receiving the matters. But Ministry of Rites Administration will not help me in any way, so I want to make an entirely different kind of reception. It is different from my original plan and I guarantee that I will be able to give both the military and political courtyards, and Oca Diplomatic Corps s, both of them will be huge surprises. "
Speaking up to here, Ye Tian had a naughty smile on his face.
Looking at Ye Tian's expression, Lin Qiyu's curiosity was piqued. She asked, "Sir, what do I need to do?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Tian pointed at the Divine Weapon Camp warriors who were resting not far away, and said: "Summon the one in your group who performs the best."
Lin Qiyu nodded and then shouted at the soldiers, "Tang Lieh, come here."
