Just About Anyone Can Become a Minister~

Since the emperor had specifically placed emphasis on the 'respectfully' bit, the minister was extremely confused about what exactly he had to do to bring head priest Tang over.

While commoners had the opinion that head priest Tang was a good man, calm and kind, the ministers of the kingdom all knew that he was the grumpiest and grouchiest old man around. If there was someone the ministers all unanimously wanted to avoid, it was him.

This poor minister was in a bind.

He definitely didn't want to go to the temple and climb up all those stairs, and then be sent back because head priest Tang was in a pissy mood as usual. 

But the heavens were favoring this minister. He was going to narrowly escape, at the cost of an extremely dumb and fat man, a new minister, who sat right behind him.
