Chapter 265 The transmigrators can't hold it anymore
Due to the emergency change in the situation of the public trial meeting, the new important role of Shen Zhixian was added. Qin Dewei had to adjust the plan by working overtime and living out the sense of social animal again.
The key is that no one else can do this work, or dare not do it. Qin Dewei can only do it himself, and he has to finish it with tears in his eyes.
In the eyes of overtime dogs, all new news is probably bad news.
For example, when Qin Dewei was sitting in the county government office writing a plan, a clerk came in and said, "I just saw the newspaper, there is a happy event!"
Qin Dewei raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
The clerk replied: "The imperial court appointed Mr. Feng, the former county magistrate, as the Foreign Minister of the Farming Department of the Ministry of Industry!"
Qin Dewei sighed when he heard this and said to himself: "Where does happiness come from?"
The newspaper office was stunned. Why did Mr. Qin Xiao react like this?
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, officials in the capital are more expensive than local officials, and officials in ministries are more expensive. As for Hanlin Ci officials, they are so expensive that they are not included in this discussion, and they are not included in the usual promotion system.
Expensive means that if you are transferred at the same level, it will be regarded as a promotion. For example, if a seventh-level county magistrate is transferred to a seventh-level censor, it will be a promotion. If the level can be promoted, it will be regarded as an exceptional promotion.
Mr. Feng was originally the magistrate of Jing County in the sixth rank. His promotion to the rank of wailang from the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry was an exceptional promotion. Although the Ministry of Industry was the lowest-status among the six ministries, it was also one of the six ministries.
Therefore, the newspaper clerk cannot understand, given the relationship between Mr. Qin Xiao and Mr. Feng, how could he be so negative about the news of Mr. Feng's promotion?
Of course others don't understand. In half a year, that is, in November of this year, the comet that cannot be changed by the time traveler will come. Then Emperor Jiajing will definitely open up his voice as usual and issue an edict to ask for advice.
Historically, Feng En was reorganized into the "Four Iron Censors" by the comet incident and assigned to Guangdong and Guangxi. Although the specific details are unknown, Qin Dewei speculated that he was used as cannon fodder in political struggles.
In this time and space, if Feng Enren was still in Nanjing, Qin Dewei might still be able to think of a way to suppress Master Feng, who was particularly passionate about temple politics.
But now Feng En is far away from the capital, two thousand miles away, and closer to the temple. After the comet incident, he will be damned if he can't be used as cannon fodder.
So when Qin Dewei heard the news about Mr. Feng's promotion, he couldn't be happy at all. He wondered if this rookie would ask for help from him.
If such a thing really happened, the only choice would be to take Mr. Feng’s mother and son to the capital. Forget about his wife, she probably wouldn’t be able to impress the filial son-like Emperor Jiajing.
Now that I think of the capital, I can't help but miss a person who is round in front and round in the back.
Alas, I don’t have time to think about so many things that may or may not happen in the future because I work overtime. I need to adjust the plan for the day after tomorrow first.
The day after tomorrow, the public trial went smoothly, and the Shen magistrate finally got the opportunity to attend. Fifty county scholars also participated, two of them responsible for one prisoner. Qin Dewei and the plaintiff appeared as witnesses throughout the process.
One person reads the confession, then fifty people jointly decide on the penalty, and another person reads the proposed verdict.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty punished the crime of robbery very severely. Those who were of such a bad nature and succeeded in robbery were basically intended to be executed. After a fair review at the public trial, it was unanimously agreed that Eunuch Pan should not have known about it, but he was guilty of negligence.
Twenty-five documents were compiled by Qin Dewei, who approved it on behalf of the plaintiff, drafted the final general judgment, signed it by all the scholars, and submitted it to the magistrate of Shen County.
At the same time, the scholars in the county collectively drafted an indictment on Eunuch Pan, and after the scholars signed it, they entrusted Shen County Magistrate to submit it to the court.
A month later, the imperial edict arrived in Nanjing. Eunuch Pan was sent to the capital prison for questioning, and the two leading thieves, Zhu Chao and Fan Shiyong, were also sent to the capital.
Tian Jinyi got this escort job and got the opportunity to go to the capital.
Then there was the reward for Commander Xu who bravely captured twenty-five giant bandits. He was directly promoted to the commander of the left-behind right guard and the commander of the guard. The former commander Li was ordered to resign after being implicated by Eunuch Pan.
It turns out that "Commander Xu" is just an honorific title. After all, Commander Qianshi also carries the word "command", but from now on, Commander Xu is a genuine and genuine third-grade actual commander.
The four west gates of the inner city of Nanjing are all guarded by the left guard. Originally, Commander Xu was only the commander of the Sanshan Gate, but now he is in charge of the four gates.
Also, because of the military merits of King Pingning's rebellion ten years ago, the Enyin One Hundred Households was upgraded to the Thousand Households this time. When Xu Laosan Shi'an reaches the age of sixteen, he can get the official position.
This Xu family has reached a big level. Each family has a real-time commander and a thousand households, which is considered very impressive in a family of military officers.
So of course there was a big banquet and a big celebration, and the Xu Mansion was packed with guests for several days.
As for Qin Dewei's matter, we need to look at it from two levels.
On the first level, Qin Dewei's act of upholding justice and attacking the guarding eunuchs was a matter of political prestige, something invisible and intangible, but it would not be recognized by the court, let alone be regarded as merit.
However, this kind of righteous act was recognized by Grandmaster He Da, the censor of Nanzhili Tixue, and he ordered to commend the student Qin Dewei within the scope of his authority.
Those who know the industry will figure out the meaning. It is estimated that Qin Dewei will be promoted to the junior college students in the annual examination after the spring next year. This award may be to build momentum in advance.
Moreover, the people in Nanjing finally knew that Qin Dewei left the city that day and fled to Jurong County, where the imperial censor of Tixue was based. Then the great master He Ao opened the door with great fanfare and admitted Qin Dewei to take refuge.
Then people in the officialdom remembered that as early as the Zhengde Dynasty, He Ao had received a royal cane for opposing the eunuchs. After so many years, He Ao was still so upright!
This person surnamed He is so lucky that even though he is locked up in the examination hall, there are still people who are giving away his reputation for nothing!
The second level is that in the incident of the arrest of twenty-five giant bandits, Commander Xu and Qin Dewei joined forces. Qin Dewei’s contribution to the painting was clearly written in Commander Xu’s memorial.
Even if you are a scholar, no matter how much you cite your merits, you will never be awarded a title, and generally no young scholar is willing to go to the Imperial College, so there is really nothing to reward from the court except recording your merits and rewarding you with silver.
Qin Dewei looked at the loud gongs and drums in the Xu Mansion and was beaming with joy, but he was only awarded ten taels of silver. Although he was mentally prepared, he could not help but criticize the court for being unkind.
Until one day, Qin Dewei received a letter of thanks from his stepfather.
It turns out that the imperial court issued an edict to commend Zeng's father for his son's merits. He was given the post of county magistrate of the seventh rank, and was given the rank of Chengzhilang and San of the sixth rank. This was an unspoken rule that he would be promoted after three years of service.
Qin Dewei was speechless. He had been busy for a long time, and all his achievements were for his stepfather's promotion? That's okay, it doesn't matter who gets promoted.
After that, the days passed day by day. Because the primary school students were arrested by their teacher Wang Yijing and had to study the Four Books and the Spring and Autumn Annals, there was peace and no major events in Nanjing.
Spring, summer and autumn have passed. From April to October, outstanding student Qin Dewei has been ranked first in the county monthly school examination for seven consecutive months with his strong financial resources.
Originally, Xing Yifeng didn't mind too much about second place, but after there were too many second places, he wanted to hit others. At first, he was really fooled by lard, and he gave Qin Dewei a few words of advice in the Taoist test, but it ended up being a bitter pill.
Then time entered November, the winter of the 11th year of Jiajing. This was a month that even the time traveler Qin Dewei could not grasp.
