After looking at it for a few times, Wang Tingxiang said: "You must not have been sent by Feng Nanjiang. I guess you came here yourself?"
It was a bit hot in early summer, and Qin Dewei shed a few drops of sweat. This Wang Tingxiang was also a famous minister of the dynasty. He had been in charge of the people and the army for a long time. He was not as easy to fool as the novice Mr. Feng.
Qin Dewei could only answer honestly: "For the sake of Mr. Feng County, I have the right to do everything, so I have to do it." The start must be stable, otherwise it will collapse and be kicked out.
Wang Tingxiang asked: "What is going on? Tell me!"
Qin Dewei did not dare to show off, so he carefully considered his words and said: "A few days ago, Young Situ Hu Gong invited Mr. Feng County to meet. He did not want to accept the invitation, but after hearing the message from the Grand Sima, he had to meet him.
Later, I reluctantly went to the meeting with the county magistrate, and then some trouble arose..."
Qin Dewei briefly explained the situation and concluded: "I see that the young Situ seems to have something unexpected in mind, but County Master Feng is at a loss and does not notice, something will happen. I won't listen to my advice, so I have to ask the senior Sima to make the decision."
Wang Tingxiang asked again: "Why do you want to ask the headquarters to make the decision?"
Qin Dewei boldly said: "If the Chief Sima had not spoken out at the beginning, Feng County Zun would not have gone to see the Minister Hu, nor would he have lost his vigilance towards the Minister Hu. Now that the situation is at this point, how can the Chief Sima not make the decision?"
Wang Tingxiang, who was dumped, said noncommittally: "Then are you blaming the headquarters?"
After thinking about Master Xia, who was far away in the capital and supporting his side, Qin Dewei decided to be more aggressive: "The original message sent by Da Sima may have been just for the purpose of bringing together people, but it did play a role in building momentum for Minister Hu, otherwise Feng County Zun would have resisted righteously."
Thanks."
Wang Tingxiang shouted and asked: "You don't have any solid evidence, so how dare you say that Mr. Hu is up to something unexpected!"
When it comes to this conspiracy theory, Qin Dewei is very good at it. He said with certainty: "Then if Mr. Hu has any ideas but is not comfortable talking about it, he can just ask Da Sima to pass it on!
But Mr. Hu would rather save his own face and beg County Lord Feng for mercy in private. If something goes wrong, he must be a monster! So he must have another plan, otherwise why would he be like this!"
Seeing that Wang Tingxiang did not stop him, Qin Dewei added: "Furthermore, Minister Hu knew that Feng County Zun had a relationship with Da Sima, but he still had unforeseen thoughts about Feng County Zun. Doesn't it mean that Hu Shilang may not take Da Sima seriously?
."
Wang Tingxiang slapped the case and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Qin Dewei thought for a moment and then continued: "Da Sima, do you want to regain your official position and return to Beijing as soon as possible?"
But Wang Tingxiang saw through Qin Dewei's true nature at a glance: "Stop! Don't fool the headquarters with this rhetoric to fool Feng Nanjiang!"
This trick didn't work! Qin Dewei was so surprised that he stopped talking. Anyway, he said everything he needed to say. Let's see how you, Wang Dashima, decide.
Wang Tingxiang has been in officialdom for decades and has experienced many storms. He did not take what Qin Dewei said to heart. To Qin Dewei, this may be a big deal, but to Wang Tingxiang it is really a trivial matter.
Now Wang Tingxiang was even more surprised. A little kid of thirteen years old actually had such a beast-like intuition about potential dangers. He was truly gifted and the seed for an official career.
Wang Tingxiang couldn't help but ask again: "Then what do you think Mr. Hu and the others will do next?"
Qin Dewei replied without hesitation: "How do you know?"
Wang Tingxiang didn't know what he meant, so he complained: "It seems that you are nothing more than that."
Not to be outdone, Qin Dewei said: "I can think of a hundred ways, but who knows which way they will follow? Just like you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days."
Wang Tingxiang couldn't help but complain again: "Looking at how easy your articulation is, can't you convince Feng Nanjiang to be careful and avoid trouble?"
Qin Dewei made a metaphor that he thought was very vivid: "I wonder if Da Sima has heard of the story of Journey to the West? There is a play called Three Strikes of White Bone Demons. Now County Master Feng is like the Tang Monk, and below him is the monkey monkey who says nothing.
!”
Wang Tingxiang wanted to argue with Qin Dewei for some reason: "So according to what you said, nothing has happened now, and you don't know what will happen next. So if you come to the headquarters now, what can you ask the headquarters to do?
"
"Of course there is one most important thing." Qin Dewei suddenly said in embarrassment: "I wonder where the Ministry of War is most convenient. Can you send me a letter of appointment as a scribe?"
Calligraphers are not even minor officials. They are scribes with pens and pens hired by various yamen or officials on their own. They are definitely not staffed. In the words of five hundred years later, they are temporary workers in various public institutions.
Of course, the degree of freedom is also high. Being a calligrapher does not affect the qualifications for the imperial examination, just like being a temporary worker can take the civil service examination.
Wang Tingxiang was stunned: "What do you want this for?"
This is probably the smallest thing among the things that come to Wang Tingxiang from all over the world.
Qin Dewei answered honestly: "Because I have offended too many people and have no reputation to protect me, I am afraid of being arrested and retaliated.
If you have the identity of a clerk in the Ministry of War, you will have an extra layer of talisman to protect you from being easily captured by other yamen."
Wang Tingxiang: "..."
You, a primary school student, are actually very self-aware and know that you have offended too many people?
"So you went to great lengths to see the Benbu Tang today, and the real purpose is just to get a name as a calligrapher?" Wang Tingxiang was a little doubtful about life.
This is pretty much what it feels like to find a billionaire just to borrow a penny.
Qin Dewei explained (argued): "I must protect myself, so that I can better help Mr. Feng County!
There must be some elders in the capital who have asked Da Sima to take care of County Lord Feng, and I am actually waiting to help Da Sima."
Wang Tingxiang didn't know why, but wanted to make things difficult and said: "But calligraphy requires someone who is proficient in a certain thing, so what are you good at? If you are reciting poems and writing lyrics, please go out of the gate of the Ministry of War, turn left, and go to the Ministry of Rites next door.
."
Qin Dewei thought about it carefully and said, "I am familiar with the world and the situation of all the countries in the world, so I can be the scribe of the joint library!"
The Huitongkan is affiliated to the Ministry of War. It is the place where envoys from the feudal country are received. Of course, it also has the function of understanding the overseas situation.
Wang Tingxiang smiled and said nothing, and you, a primary school student, continued to play.
He, Wang Tingxiang, is said to be well-read and has learned a lot. He dare not say how much he knows about overseas countries. You, a thirteen-year-old kid, dare to say that you know it well?
This is the accumulation of knowledge, not poetry that can make a living by relying on talent!
Qin Dewei could not show off his erudition: "Twenty thousand miles away from the Ming Dynasty to the west, there is a Western land called Europa. There are hundreds of countries, the big ones are like a province, and the small ones are like a county. A few decades ago, there was the navigator Columbus.
....."
"The Headquarters agrees to use you as the clerk of the Huitong Library!" Wang Tingxiang listened for a long time and reluctantly accepted the reality. What he made up was too similar: "Write down what you know in your heart and hand it over to the Huitong Library.
!Especially the fact that the Western countries traveled thousands of miles across the sea to plunder land!"
Qin Dewei made another request: "If possible, it should be faster. And if you are not on duty, just write when you have time at home."
Wang Tingxiang was a good man and said, "Go to the military department hall before tomorrow evening to get the fire seal wooden tablet!"
Qin Dewei saluted again and then left.
Wang Tingxiang suddenly asked again: "With your intelligence, wouldn't you have thought of asking the headquarters to strike first? How much effort would this save? Are you young men in a hurry?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I have been reading Spring and Autumn Annals recently, and I have read Zheng Bo's Duan Yu Yan, so I have some thoughts."
