Qin Dewei often uses his morality to kidnap others, and he is a proficient person. Unexpectedly, today the situation has changed and he was kidnapped by Huo Tao's morality.
There was not much time to struggle and hesitate. After some thought, Qin Dewei could only choose the lesser of two evils.
In the eyes of everyone, Qin Dewei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this memorial was indeed mainly conceived by me, Feng En only wrote it according to my point of view.
Back then, Feng En and I often talked about the current affairs of the capital and the gains and losses of the ministers."
"No" Mr. Feng wailed, covering his head in pain, "You will die!"
Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect Qin Dewei to be so strong and dare to admit it directly.
If Huo Tao sentenced Feng En, there was at most a half chance that he would follow the emperor's wishes and sentence him to death.
But if it was Qin Dewei, then Huo Tao would definitely dare to sentence him to death without hesitation.
After forcing Qin Dewei to this point, Huo Tao couldn't help but sarcastically said proudly: "Tsk, tsk, he is indeed a righteous man."
Wang Tingxiang and Xia Yan looked at each other. Today's change in the situation caught everyone off guard. They had no plan at all. If it didn't work out, let's go to the palace together to ask for mercy.
Feng En, who was kneeling to the north, turned to the people in the west, almost bursting into tears, and said hurriedly: "I hope you will see clearly, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Dewei!"
Qin Dewei was very moved, but he still felt that Mr. Feng was too much of a bother and was always disturbing him.
Then he turned around and said, "It's none of your business! Get up and move aside! Even if Huo Tao wants to kill me, why should you be afraid? Why are you acting like a child?"
Huo Tao also felt that Feng En was too much in the way, affecting his ability to deal with Qin Dewei, so he ordered the officers and soldiers: "Pull Feng En aside and stay out of the way!"
The other ministers didn't know what to say. If Qin Dewei could be called a warrior just now, he is like a martyr now.
At this time, it no longer matters who led the memorial.
Is it possible that these days, there are really people and things who are willing to die generously for their teachers and friends? It was only during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that such an ancient style existed?
Qin Dewei flicked the dust and said to Huo Tao contemptuously: "I owe you more than just one death in this life, and I can pay you back nine times without any knowledge in this world! Let me see how you want to kill me."
Huo Tao was annoyed when he saw Qin Dewei again. Why should he pretend to be cool when he was about to die?
"Let's face it, what are your intentions?" Huo Tao shouted.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the two core issues are still the two issues, one is the motive and whether someone instigated it, and the other is whether the gift was criticized.
The sensitive and suspicious Emperor Jiajing cared about these things the most, so Huo Tao planned to lure Qin Dewei into talking first, and then find an opportunity to frame him.
As long as you are willing to open your mouth, you will definitely be able to find the fault. Who doesn't know the art of literary inquisition? He, Shilang Huo, is also a top student, okay?
Then Qin Dewei began to ramble on: "The late student was young and ignorant. He didn't read much, and he studied here and there. All he could think about was loyalty and righteousness.
The word "loyalty" naturally means loyalty to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. Because I was born late in life, I am young and ignorant, so I am ignorant. How can I be considered loyal?"
It wasn't until the comet happened last year that Wan Sheng suddenly realized a lot. Although I didn't know if it was right or not, Wan Sheng was young and ignorant, so that's what I thought."
Huo Tao pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find anything that could be used to make trouble in Qin Dewei's words. Isn't this all repeated nonsense?
We are sleepy in spring and tired in autumn. If it were not for this occasion, many people would be drowsy.
I heard the word "young and ignorant" over and over again, and I don't know why Qin Dewei's eloquence suddenly collapsed like this.
Huo Tao said sternly: "You, Qin Dewei, talk a lot about your loyalty. How can you be loyal in this memorial? Do you think you are loyal to the emperor?"
Smart people have all heard that Huo Tao, as the "chief judge", deliberately guided Qin Dewei to talk to the emperor.
This is very dangerous, and if you say a word wrong, something will happen.
Then everyone heard Qin Dewei continue to say: "At that time, Wan Sheng thought, the emperor has not been immoral or guilty recently, so why do the subjects have to ask the emperor to issue an edict to punish themselves?"
Faced with such a sudden change, the ministers wrote resignation letters one after another, and it was just a formality, but in the end nothing changed.
The imperial edict of his sin was made public to the world, and everyone knew that the emperor admitted his mistake, but the ministers submitted resignations and memorials but did not send them out.
Is this fair! Is this reasonable!”
Wucao! Everyone was shocked. This flattery seemed a bit innovative, but only Qin Dewei seemed to be able to do it.
It is common practice for the emperor to issue an edict to punish oneself when the weather changes. There are deep political factors in this.
However, Qin Dewei questioned that the emperor had not committed any misconduct recently, so was it too unreasonable to issue an edict against himself this time?
In fact, this question is very naive, but Qin Dewei said it himself just now. After all, he is young and ignorant. People who are less than fifteen years old still have an innocent heart.
Huo Tao could only be stunned. He guided Qin Dewei to talk about the emperor, but now he did not dare to comment and could only continue to hold it in.
Others did not dare to respond, but Qin Dewei dared to say: "I was young and ignorant, and with the idea of being loyal, I thought I could accuse my ministers of their sins to avoid changes in the sky!
It's impossible for the emperor to blame himself even if he has no moral misconduct, but the ministers have no expression, right? Doesn't the change of heaven have nothing to do with the ministers' fault?
Therefore, we focused on selecting three ministers who can represent hundreds of officials, the first assistant Zhang Fuking, the second assistant Fang Xianfu, and the chief minister of the outer dynasty, Wang Hong, to list their crimes and deal with the change of heaven!"
Huo Tao: ""
So, the motive for writing such a memorial was that an innocent young man, who was young and ignorant, took the injustice on behalf of the emperor and dragged the ministers into the water with him?
Based on everyone's understanding of Emperor Jiajing's character, the Emperor must have appreciated the tone of "You are all at fault and I cannot be the only one to self-examine."
No one spoke for a while. Qin Dewei didn't want to be left alone, so he added: "You were not in the court, Mr. Huo, otherwise you would have been included in the court, and you would have been one of the four traitors."
For some reason, Qin Dewei felt like he was switching modes again.
Huo Tao was speechless and had nothing to say. His mentality was a bit broken. He had endured it for so long just to wait for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow!
Obviously this opportunity has arisen. As long as Qin Dewei's crimes are nailed, no matter whether Qin Dewei dies or not, the game is over!
But after interrogating for a long time, I still seemed helpless!
When Feng En was interrogated, Qin Dewei was beeping until he had nothing to say. When he was interrogating Qin Dewei himself, he was still beeping until he was speechless!
Wouldn’t it be in vain for those who step on horses to tolerate it?
No, there is still a chance!
Huo Tao cheered up and shouted again: "The memorials are very disparaging to the ministers who discuss rituals, and you even want to impeach me. I think you really mean to criticize the great rituals!"
When everyone heard this sentence, they all felt a little bit angry, so this sentence really fell short of the standard.
Qin Dewei looked at Huo Tao in surprise, "Master Huo, are you stupid?"
Huo Tao said angrily: "You bastard! The officers and soldiers on both sides obeyed orders, but Qin Dewei made rude remarks and slapped him!"
Qin Dewei shouted: "With all the officials here, how can you beat the scholars at will? Could it be that Mr. Huo wants to imitate the Jin Yiwei who ordered him to prison?"
Wang Tingxiang felt that Qin Dewei was a little too much, so he stepped forward and asked: "Then please explain why you said something rude!"
Qin Dewei replied nonchalantly: "Master Huo stayed in Liaocheng and caused some disgraceful things. He should know the situation at Wansheng's family.
My late-born surname was Qin, and my stepfather’s surname was Zeng, right? But I didn’t change my surname to Zeng, I still kept my biological father’s surname.
Therefore, Mr. Huo said that I will criticize the gift, which makes Wan Sheng really not sure how to evaluate Mr. Huo."
Immediately, some people couldn't help but laugh a few times. This horse riding could be the reason. It felt like the happy atmosphere was back.
Unexpectedly, Qin Dewei actually resolved the suspicion of "criticism of the gift" in this way.
The problem with the great gift is that Emperor Jiajing refused to adopt the name of Emperor Xiaozong and insisted on recognizing his biological father.
Qin Dewei did not change his gender following his stepfather who had already become an official. He insisted on his original surname, which was actually somewhat similar to the behavior of Emperor Jiajing.
They all do things of the same nature, how can they criticize the gift?
Therefore, only Qin Dewei can use this reason, and other ordinary people cannot use it.
Qin Dewei said to Huo Tao again: "Forgive me for talking too much, Mr. Huo, just forget that you are not familiar with the law. After all, you said that you don't need to be familiar with the law in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
But if you don’t know how to deal with human affairs, then you are still not suitable for the staff department, so you might as well resign.”
Wow!
In front of everyone's stunned eyes, the desk was overturned!
I saw Huo Shilang's face like a heavy jujube, his fists like a casserole, and his steps like a shooting star, rushing straight towards Qin Dewei!
Huo Tao and Qin Dewei were originally the closest, but after the desk was opened, there was no obstacle anymore!
The incident happened suddenly, and those who were qualified to stop Huo Tao had no time to catch up!
Qin Dewei had no help around him, and even if there were officers and soldiers nearby, he would never dare to stop the Minister of Civil Affairs.
It seems like I'm really going to get beaten this time!
