In the historical memory of Qin Dewei, Wei Duke Xu Pengju served as Nanjing garrison minister three times in his life, and was dismissed twice in the middle.
Maybe it was Emperor Jiajing's power play, or maybe it was Emperor Jiajing's whim. Qin Dewei was too lazy to figure out the reason, but he didn't expect that his first dismissal would happen to him by such a coincidence.
If the host encounters such a thing, the gathering can only end hastily in a strange atmosphere.
Before leaving, Qin Dewei deliberately waited for Yan Fuyin, but Yan Fuyin left without saying anything. Qin Dewei really didn't know what was going on in Yan Song's mind.
Now that we have met today and have talked about it for this purpose, the next thing should be very simple.
You, Yan Song, directly set out a condition, and if you are satisfied, you will let him go, and everyone will get both money and goods. You, Yan Song, are also engaged in politics, so why don't you understand?
In fact, Qin Dewei has been a little arrogant recently and is too lazy to understand others, so he doesn't know what Yan Song is thinking.
For example, five hundred years later, a person was fined 2,000 yuan by law enforcement. He refused to pay the fine honestly and had to find various connections to settle the penalty.
The end result is often that the person spends several thousand yuan to settle the punishment through the back door. From an economic point of view, the gain outweighs the loss, but by doing so he feels that he has gained face and can settle the punishment.
Yan Song's mentality at this time was probably similar. Although he knew that his son made the mistake first, he did not want to directly sign a city alliance with Qin Dewei just to get his son out.
You know, Yan Song is a person who cares about his face very much and will not do anything that is shameful.
Therefore, when Yan Fuyin saw Qin Dewei hiding from him earlier, he immediately guessed that Qin Dewei's intention was to wait for a price to sell.
And Yan Fuyin didn't want others to see that he had surrendered to the power of the small county government, so he always wanted to find someone to solve the problem from the top down.
As a third-rank Yin Tianfu Yin, Yan Song was qualified to talk to anyone in Nanjing, including Wei Guogong and the garrison eunuchs. Of course, he also had the ability to find peace with others.
After the gathering, if we ask the scholars about their impressions of the spring gathering in Fangyuan in the 11th year of Jiajing, they would be very impressed.
It's not because of any popular masterpieces or scandals, but because of the various hard advertisements forcibly implanted by Qin Dewei.
Looking back, everyone's mind was filled with memories of Wufeng, Yuanfenghao, Taibailou, Sanbaijiu, and Qilu Yuanyangzhuan. They didn't know whether they went to the Yaji or the market.
As for the dismissal of Wei Guogong Xu Pengju, it actually had little impact on Nanjing's serious officialdom, and literati would not pay too much attention to it. For most civil servants, it really doesn't make much difference no matter which Duke or Duke becomes the garrison minister.
Those who were more affected may only be some military officers, such as Xu Yunqi, a member of Wei Guogong's clan, who was left to guard the right guard and command the Qian affairs, and the Sanshan gatekeeper with the greatest commercial value.
For Qin Dewei, there was no other chore after the gathering, so he continued to attend classes at Wang Yijing's private school in Changqianli outside Jubaomen.
In the past six months, the courses were biased towards exam-oriented education for Spring and Autumn Questions, but from now on, Qin Dewei clearly felt it and began to talk in depth.
After class that afternoon, Qin Dewei left the private school and went home, only to see his brother-in-law Xu Shian waiting outside.
Qin Dewei asked very strangely: "How did you find this place? Do you also want to leave the clan school and study here? Do you want me to introduce you to Mr. Yunchi?"
Xu Shi'an said proudly: "I am a future official of hundreds of households, what do I do if I know this kind of old Dong Heng!"
Qin Dewei shook his head, San'er, don't regret it in the future.
It's not that he deliberately concealed useful information, but that Mr. Wang Yijing was very conservative and he never mentioned that his brother was giving him a face. Qin Dewei could only pretend not to know, let alone tell others.
"I'm looking for you today because my father asked me to come!" Xu Shi'an had no intention of continuing to talk about the teacher, and said worriedly: "Father has been having a very difficult time these past two days."
As mentioned earlier, the Sanshan Gate is the gate with the highest commercial value among the thirteen gates in the inner city wall. In other words, it has the most profit.
Xu Yunqi was able to take on the position of Sanshan Gatekeeper, on the one hand, because he had served in the battle during King Ning's rebellion ten years ago, and on the other hand, he was a member of the garrison minister Xu Wei Gong's family.
Now that Xu Pengju has been dismissed from his post, he has lost the power of the garrison minister and has become an idle prince like a rich man. He has to shut himself up and think about his mistakes. The overall position of the Three Mountain Gatekeepers commanded by Xu is immediately unsafe.
It is difficult for military attachés to find money outside, so who wouldn’t want the fattest city gate?
I didn’t expect that Xu Yunqi made a fortune relying on Sanshanmen, opened a bank, and even managed it jointly with the famous Yuanfeng Hao. If Xu Yunqi could be squeezed out, wouldn’t Sanshanmen belong to him?
Qin Dewei sighed a few times, thinking that Xu Wei Gong's dismissal from the post of garrison minister had nothing to do with him. Unexpectedly, Commander Xu felt a sense of crisis.
It is also a reality that people are too quick to step on the horse. It had only been two days since Mr. Xu Wei was dismissed from his post, and Commander Xu was already feeling the pressure.
Xu Shi'an requested: "What my father means is that you have removed Duke Xu Wei's garrison minister, and you must be responsible to the end! So at least you can help me come up with ideas to solve my father's troubles."
Qin Dewei argued: "What does this have to do with me! He was not careful in his actions, but Wang Ting was the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and knew the inside story, so he impeached him!"
"It's really not you?" Xu Laosan was very doubtful about this. When Wang Tingxiang was carrying out rectification in Nanjing, your brother Qin was the number one minion. How could there be any relationship between you?
Qin Dewei swore: "Absolutely not! I have no enmity with Xu Wei Gong, so why did I do it to him? If it was really me, God would strike with thunder!"
Xu Shi'an sighed: "Then Mr. Xu Wei was so unlucky that he happened to encounter Jiang bandits coming and looting again. No wonder the emperor dismissed him in anger."
Jiang thieves plundered? Qin Dewei felt that this thing was familiar, but he must have heard of it for the first time in his life: "Is there any other inside story?"
After all, Xu Shi'an came from a family of military officers and his surname was Xu, so he was very well informed about Duke Xu Wei. "Recently, there have been dozens of thieves and bandits, and they have looted along the river several times, and the merchants and merchants in the past are panicking.
But the strange thing is that as the garrison minister, Xu Wei Gong never caught any bandits, not even a single one. He was accused of being ineffective and incompetent in suppressing bandits, so this is probably the reason why he was dismissed by the emperor. "
If it were twenty years later, Qin Dewei would have directly guessed that they were Japanese pirates. But now it is only the early Jiajing period. Where did the Japanese pirates come from and run near Nanjing?
But when it comes to dozens of bandits looting along the river near Nanjing, Qin Dewei really knows what's going on.
It's all because this thing is so weird, so weird that it's incredible. So when he was looking for information in his previous life, he was extremely impressed when he saw this thing.
Qin Dewei couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't Mr. Xu Wei ask me for advice earlier? Otherwise, why would he be dismissed from office?"
Xu Laosan urged: "Now it is my father who asks you for advice!"
