Why does it sound like a threat? The young and vigorous Wei Guogong in his thirties took the advice as a disservice and snorted coldly: "Tell me, what does it mean to keep a low profile and bide your time?"
Qin Dewei was speechless, are you sure you want to carefully discuss your mess and hide your capabilities and bide your time in front of so many people?
With your political literacy, you are fortunate to have been reincarnated into a good person. If you were a local Duke in Nanjing, if you were in the northern capital, you would be treated like a fool in just a few days!
But Xu Pengju also came to his senses right away. He just said that Yuanfeng Bank was all Qin Dewei's privacy. It doesn't matter, he doesn't care! But if he talks about his own affairs, then he should care about it.
He laughed again, covered up his gaffe, then pointed at Yan Fuyin and said to Qin Dewei: "Also, I heard that you have some misunderstandings with Yan Fuyin's family? Do you want to help you mediate?"
Qin Dewei was speechless again. Lord, please shut up! Do you need to mediate?
Besides, this kind of thing is all a black box operation. How can you do it in front of a bunch of unrelated people? Do you directly perform live gossip for others?
Then Qin Dewei looked at Yan Song with disdain, don't tell me that your famous Yan Song is at this level? If you do this, how can I treat you as an equal?
Yan Song also had troubles to express. Just now, he did give Wei Guogong a few more pieces of land in Jiangbei as a new camp site at the expense of official concessions (actually for what purpose it is unknown).
He asked Wei Guogong to help him by saying a few words, which put a little more pressure on Qin Dewei. But he did not expect that Wei Guogong was so unreliable.
With no other choice, Yan Fuyin could only bite the bullet and speak: "May I ask why the dog is stranded in the county government office and not coming back?"
The other people at the banquet were no longer distracted, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.
Qin Dewei seemed to be more helpless than Yan Fuyin, "If someone else comes to ask, I can only say, what does the matter of the county government have to do with me, this student?"
But there are no outsiders here, and Ming people don’t tell secrets, so I really have no choice. Brother Donglou always makes trouble for me, and even murders his uncle. What can I do?
In order to protect myself, I can only lock up Brother Donglou first and let him calm down and stop being in trouble with me all the time."
Then Qin Dewei thought of something again and quickly comforted him: "But don't worry, Governor! Brother Donglou will not suffer hardship in the county jail, and he will receive preferential treatment."
Am I worried about this? Yan Song advised: "Qin Sheng can come to the government office and inform me, and I will teach him a lesson. After all, you are all young people, so why bother to hurt the harmony."
Qin Dewei had no choice but to increase the pressure again, and said aggrievedly: "But I have already gone to the government office to file a complaint twice."
Yan Song: ""
Qin Dewei drummed twice to complain to him. At that time, he was still upset, so he dismissed it perfunctorily. Unexpectedly, Qin Dewei actually kept talking about it.
There was once a sincere petition placed in front of him, but he didn't cherish it. When he lost it, I regretted it deeply. The most painful thing in the world is this.
If God could give him another chance, he would say one thing to that boy: You should come and complain!
After all, Qin Dewei still wanted to solve the problem, but he couldn't hold Yan Shifan for the rest of his life, so he gave Yan Fuyin a step down:
"Actually, the people below are not good enough. The county government has been following your instructions and engaging in passive confrontation! That's why I gave up and stopped going to complain to you."
In front of others, Yan Fuyin felt that there were many words that he couldn't say, and his thousands of words turned into a long sigh: "He is still a child!"
Qin Dewei also had nothing to say, Yan Song, why are you so ignorant? Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand?
What is the most critical thing in negotiation? It is the exchange of interests! When you are completely unreasonable, if you don’t come up with something, why should you replace someone with someone else?
To put it bluntly, Yan Shifan has caused so much trouble to himself, shouldn't you make some compensation?
Are you polite if you can't provide any benefits and only urge yourself to let him go with empty words?
But having said that, is this an honest mistake on the part of Yan Song, or is it a character issue?
If you really want to take everything into your own hands and don't care about the exchange of interests at all, it's no wonder that in the end, everyone will blame you and the ending will be bleak!
Xu Pengju suddenly interjected: "Qin Dewei, did you study in my Xu family? You have to share my love, right?"
Qin Dewei was stunned, can you explain this? Besides, even if you express gratitude, it is also because of the command of your clan leader, Mr. Xu.
"You'd better let him go!" Xu Pengju persuaded in a very unprofessional manner: "Do you still need me to invite the clan members to persuade you?"
A person who inherited the dukedom of the country at the age of twenty-one and became the garrison minister of Nanjing is indeed considered to have achieved success at a young age, and is not very good at this kind of mediating and persuading people.
Qin Dewei finally understood. Yan Song must be more willing to make deals with Wei Guogong, and then exert pressure through Wei Guogong, and at the same time cultivate relations with Wei Guogong.
Probably in Yan Song's opinion, his position is too low and he is not worthy of being an exchange partner!
What a snobbery! Seeing the big from the small, you can see the nature of the traitor!
Those who ride horses are so shameless, who do you think has no temper? Qin Dewei lowered his face and said coldly:
"The outcome of the trial and whether the prisoner should be released or not are all matters of the county government. I am just a student, so how can I decide the affairs of the county government? So I ask you two to go to the county government to discuss it!"
Yan Song was very surprised, why did you, Qin Dewei, lose your temper? It seems like this is the first time?
At this time, suddenly a servant stood not far away and reported to Wei Guogong: "An angel carrying a message has arrived outside the garden! The angel went to the house just now, but you were not here, sir, so he came here again!"
After hearing this, Duke Guo of Wei did not dare to delay, so he immediately got up and went downstairs to receive the order.
Everyone began to discuss that such a sudden imperial edict might not be a good thing. Because there was no advance notice from the forerunner, so that Duke Wei could prepare things such as the colorful pavilion and the incense case, so it was very unlikely to be a happy event.
Everyone accompanied Wei Guogong down and came to the gate of the garden. Sure enough, they saw an official holding an imperial edict.
In front of the imperial edict, all living beings are equal, and those who happened to be present knelt down together.
Just listen to the angel reading: "Wang Tingxiang, the imperial censor of Zuodu, said that Nanjing is the fundamental place of the country and has important internal and external defenses. It is not suitable for Wei Guogong Xu Shidian to hold office for a long time.
I also impeach the Duke of Wei, Xu Pengju, for his illegal acts. One is to surrender, the other is to occupy, and the third is to abuse. I remember that Xu Pengju has been a virtuous relative for generations, so I forgive him and order him to change his ways, so that he can be exempted from the duties of the garrison minister."
This decree can be summed up in one sentence: after Wang Tingxiang impeached Xu Pengju, he was removed from the post of Nanjing garrison minister! Xu Pengju was depressed after accepting the decree.
The title of Duke is actually a title without any real power. Only when he is the Minister of Nanjing Defense can he be considered to be in charge of affairs. At least he is in charge of the daily training and use of Nanjing's more than 40 guards and troops, as well as the deployment of battalion operations.
But now that the post of Minister of Defense has been removed, how different is being a Duke of Wei from a wealthy man?
At this moment, everyone suddenly looked at Qin Dewei with strange eyes. Is it you?
Everyone knows that when Wang Tingxiang was still the Minister of War in Nanjing, he had a special relationship with you, Qin Dewei, and rectified many people. Could it be that they are still cooperating secretly now?
I also remembered that Qin Dewei just advised the Duke of Wei to restrain himself and to hide his strength and bide his time.
Yan Song was speechless for a long time. He finally asked Wei Guogong to help put pressure on Qin Dewei, but why did it happen like this?
I originally thought that no one in the civil service system of Nanjing City could suppress Qin Dewei, so I thought of giving Wei Guogong a try, but he was defeated after just one round.
Yan Song couldn't help but recall the ten years when he was recuperating at home just after becoming a Jinshi. Is his fate as bad as ever, or is it that Qin Dewei's fate is too good?
Nanjing is such a big city, and even the garrison minister has been abolished. Who can we turn to to exert pressure and intercede? Go to the garrison eunuch?
