After today's class, Chen Xiao talked to the fifth prince alone and said that since he was his assistant, he would have to listen to Chen Xiao's arrangements at that time.

Of course the fifth prince is happy.

As long as you are an important foreign person, make friends with yourself, you will have another way in the future.

So, he was very happy about this.

But I didn't know that this time, not only would he not help him get a friend who established diplomatic relations, but he would also let him be on the road to taking the blame for it...

After Chen Xiao returned to the head office of the Ministry of Revenue's Ministry of Revenue in the afternoon, the head office of the Ministry of Rites came to find him.

The head of the host and guest department is in charge of foreign guests. This time, His Majesty personally handed over the entertainment of the king of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom to Chen Xiao.

Then, the main person in charge will become Chen Xiao.

When the head of the host and guest department saw Chen Xiaohou, he said, "Master Chen, the king of the southern border country is expected to come to our Long Kingdom tomorrow. Look, what are you planning?"

"Plan? Well... Is it a reception from Sifang Pavilion? Then we will hold a banquet in Sifang Pavilion. Let's wait in Sifang Pavilion. In addition, there is no need to make the food too good!" Chen Xiao said.

The head of the host and guest department was stunned: "No... go out of the city to welcome him? Ordinary envoys must go out of the city to welcome him, let alone the king!"

"No, it's so hot, who wants to pick it up? Just wait for him to come by himself." Chen Xiao said.

"Don't comply with the rules..." said the head of the host and guest department.

"I will do whatever I say!" Chen Xiao is unquestionable!

The head of the host and guest department had to nod: "That's good..."

"By the way, Director Chen, that... your Ministry of Revenue will also allocate some money to our host and guest office and Sifang Pavilion to serve as expenses for receiving envoys."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao said, "This... is not my responsibility. Go and ask the Minister of Revenue or the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for it!"

"Aren't you the supervisor in charge of this reception..." The head of the host and guest department laughed.

Chen Xiao was speechless: "Okay, I'll go!"

So he went to the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue. When he arrived at the place, he saw the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and two ministers working in the lobby.

So he stepped forward and said, "Sir Shangshu, Your Majesty asked me to receive the king of the Southern Kingdom, so please allocate some silver."

The Minister of Revenue was stunned and said, "Money? No, no, the Ministry of Revenue has been in financial difficulties recently, and there is not much money. This money, as the head of the Ministry of Finance, you have to think of a solution yourself!"

"No money?" Chen Xiao smiled: "Last time, did I take back so many accounts?"

"These money is not enough for the imperial court's expenses. That... the money for receiving envoys is probably really difficult to pay from the Ministry of Revenue.

Director Chen, as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, you have to help consider the money issues." Shangshu said,

The right assistant minister said: "That's right, Master Chen, your restaurant makes so much money in a day, and pay for the envoys to receive the envoys by yourself. How big a thing is it!"

Chen Xiao asked: "It means, don't you give me money?"

"It's not that I won't give it, it's really not!" said the Minister of Revenue.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and ask His Majesty if he wants it. He can give me the task, so he can't help but give me money!"

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave!

The Minister of Revenue was stunned and a little anxious.

When receiving envoys, the Ministry of Revenue should give money, this is the regulation.

If Chen Xiao ran to the emperor and said that the Minister of Revenue would not give him money, then he, the Minister of Revenue, would not be criticized?

So, he quickly spoke: "Wait a minute, Master Chen, Your Majesty is busy with all your affairs. You go to His Majesty for a mere money. Is this what a minister should do?"

Chen Xiao said: "What should I do? Don't ask someone for it if I don't have money?"

The Minister of Revenue was speechless and said, "I will give you...two hundred taels!"

Chen Xiao turned around and left, and the Minister of Revenue was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Look for Your Majesty!" Chen Xiao didn't look back.

The Minister of Revenue hurriedly said, "Isn't this giving you money?"

Chen Xiao turned around: "Two hundred taels are not enough to hold a few banquets!"

"It's five hundred taels, no more!" said the Minister of Revenue.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and was about to turn around and leave. The Minister of Revenue hurriedly added some: "One thousand taels, this is the standard!"

Chen Xiao was satisfied and stepped forward and said, "Sir, please make a note!"

The Minister of Revenue looked at Chen Xiao and wrote a note helplessly, giving it to a minor official.

Soon, the clerk came with a silver note.

The Minister of Revenue looked at the silver notes in his hand and handed them to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took it, but the Minister of Revenue did not let go.

Chen Xiao was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

The Minister of Revenue said: "How can you do this kind of thing? You take this money... so... not transparent? Think carefully, if this money comes to your hands, is there something missing? Should there be something else in this process?"

Chen Xiao sneered: "You fucking want to take the kickback and just say it, what language do you play with me?"

The Minister of Revenue looked ugly and said, "Master Chen, why do you have to say such things? I don't want to be enemies with you, or even be friends!"

"Being friends with you is just helping you with corruption?"

Chen Xiao pulled the silver note and said, "You are dreaming!"

Then, turn around and leave!

The Minister of Revenue's face turned gloomy and said, "This kid... won't get in..."

The right assistant minister said: "He doesn't want to be greedy, nor does he let us be greedy and ignorant!"

"Hmph, such people are unbearable in the officialdom!" The Minister of Revenue sneered.

Chen Xiao ignored them and left with the money.

When I returned to the main hall, I sent the main hall to the host and guest department to drink tea bored.

If the Minister of Revenue from the beginning was targeting him, then today, Chen Xiao's complete rejection was against the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue has expressed that he wants to be greedy for this thousand tael, but Chen Xiao is unwilling to do so. Isn’t this, obviously, an opposition?

Of course, Chen Xiao is not afraid.

This day just passed like this.

The next day, Chen Xiao still went to the palace to learn teaching. At noon, he left the palace with the excited fifth prince and arrived at Sifang Pavilion.

There was nothing here, so Chen Xiao gave Sifang Pavilion some money to prepare some wine and food.

At this time, the head of the Ministry of Rites came and told Chen Xiao that the king of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom had arrived outside the city and was waiting to greet him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao sat in the main seat in the hall of Sifang Pavilion and said:

"I said I wouldn't go to greet me, but I just didn't go to greet me. Either let him come in by himself, or let him return the same way!"

The head and the head of the host and guest had no choice but to leave.

The fifth prince said to Chen Xiao: "That...will this be bad? Since it is a foreign envoy, it is better for us to pay attention to it, right? Only in this way can we establish a good relationship!"

Chen Xiao said: "No, you can't spoil it."

The fifth prince was speechless. He wanted to establish good relations with foreign countries, so he wanted to greet him by himself.

But if Chen Xiao doesn't let him go, he can't do anything!

So after waiting for a long time, a group of people walked in outside the Sifang Pavilion.

The leader is an old man wearing a golden robe and embroidered with a flying dragon.

As soon as he entered the hall, he looked at Chen Xiao sitting on it and said with a cold face:

"Your country is really rude. I came to send an envoy, but no one greeted me!"

Chen Xiao did not get up and sat down and said, "What the king said, if you know who I am, you would not want me to pick you up. I am also thinking about you!"

"Oh? Who are you!" the king was puzzled.

Chen Xiao said: "Haha, Chen Xiao!"

The king was stunned for a moment, his face changed and he said, "You? Are you? You are the one who killed my son?"

The fifth prince was stunned, what the hell?

At this time, Chen Xiao pointed to the fifth prince and said, "There is him, he said your son should be killed!"
