Three hundred and seventieth chapters of the foundation
It was a sunny day, and Qin Dewei, under the supervision of Xu Miaoxuan, sat in the courtyard and read the Hanlin Academy lecture notes.
Suddenly Xu Miaojing, whom she hadn't seen for many days, appeared at the Moon Gate and called out to the two of them.
Qin Dewei put down his book and said to Xu Miaoxuan with a happy face: "It seems that the time has come to escape from the predicament!"
Xu Miaoxuan said instead: "I would rather stay here than get out of trouble."
Is this dog food? Qin Dewei was very moved.
Then I heard Xu Miaoxuan add: "This will allow you, young man, to calm down and study."
When Xu Miaojing came to him, Qin Dewei took the initiative to ask: "What is the situation now?"
Xu Miaojing knew what Qin Dewei was concerned about, so she replied: "Bi Yun has been dismissed, and now the East Factory has been taken over by Qin Gong, the Royal Horse Supervisor."
Qin Dewei asked in surprise: "Or the Royal Horse Supervisor?"
Theoretically, the Dongchang is a subordinate office of the Si Li Jian, and usually the Si Li Jian and the eunuch are concurrently in charge of it. It feels strange to be in charge of the Dongchang as the Royal Horse Supervisor and Eunuch.
It is probably for the sake of political balance, but this is also in line with Jiajing's character of always wanting to be innovative and pursuing a mentality that is difficult for others to guess.
As long as Bi Yun steps down, he won't be afraid of direct retaliation and can go out for a walk.
Xu Miaoxuan knew that Qin Dewei had a wild temper and could not be controlled, so she could only sigh: "It's a good thing that you can go out to study with Bachelor Zhang again in the future."
Just at this time, Feng Xingke also came over. When he heard the news of liberation, he asked:
"I haven't visited the prison in nearly half a month. Mr. Qin, since you can go out, you might as well take me to the prison."
This request is very reasonable. Why do you ask Qin Dewei to lead the way? Because Qin Dewei has a close relationship with the Minister of Punishment and is familiar with him from working in Tianlao, so he went to Pingtang.
Qin Dewei thought about it and realized that he had not seen Mr. Feng for a while, so he took Feng Xingke to the Prison of the Criminal Department.
The two of them stood outside the iron fence and were talking to Feng En when they saw Jia Yingchun, a doctor from the Criminal Department, come in.
Before anyone could ask questions, Jia Bulang raised his hand to Feng En and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Feng for being released from prison!"
Hearing that Mr. Feng was finally able to save his life and get out of prison alive, Qin Dewei was still very happy even though he had been mentally prepared for it, which meant that his trip to the capital was not in vain.
However, the outcome of Feng En's release from prison has long been decided. He is just waiting for the process. Where he will be demoted after he is released from prison is a question that deserves more attention.
Jia Bulang also knew the key, and without waiting for anyone to ask, he took the initiative and said: "The Ministry of Personnel moved the documents to the Ministry of Punishment, and Mr. Feng moved to the left to Guangning Wei, Liaodong to gain experience."
Qin Dewei was a little surprised by Master Feng's new place. He thought that Master Feng might go to a remote county to be a supervisor or instructor, but he didn't expect that he had military guard experience.
Although he is an official under the military guard, he is a civilian and is selected by the Ministry of Personnel.
After tasting it carefully, Qin Dewei felt that Master Xia had really taken great pains to arrange Feng En.
Generally speaking, officials who were convicted of such imperial cases were banished to remote places, otherwise the emperor would not be able to pass. There are three key words here, one is banishment, the second is garrison, and the third is border.
Feng En's new position is very subtle. It is said to be a "relegation", but it is indeed a relegation. The six dignitaries have been demoted to the military guard. Isn't it miserable enough?
It's true that you can get a job if you call it "Garrison". When I go to experience the department, I also serve in the military guard, so there is nothing wrong with calling it "Garrison".
Speaking of "border", it is definitely a border town. Who dares to say that Liaodong is not a border town. But compared to Datong and the three sides, which were frequently invaded by bandits, Liaodong in the early years of Jiajing was considered peaceful.
And compared to other border areas, the distance from the capital to Liaodong is relatively short, and the road is not difficult to walk.
After understanding the secrets here, Qin Dewei had to admire the ability of old bureaucrats to confuse problems.
So far, there are no more problems. Qin Dewei also saluted and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Feng!"
In history, Feng En was dismissed from his official post and demoted eight thousand li, but now he retains his official status and is only demoted 800 li, which is pretty good!
Jia Yingchun reminded: "Master Feng! Quickly notify your relatives and friends today. After you are released from prison tomorrow, you will be escorted directly outside the city and let your relatives and friends wait directly outside Chongwen Gate!"
Qin Dewei sighed after hearing this: "If there were no Master Feng in the capital, there would be a lot less fun."
Feng En asked in surprise: "Looking at your tone, you won't leave?"
Logically speaking, Qin Dewei came to the capital to rescue Feng Encai. After Feng En's matter was over, it was time for Qin Dewei to leave.
Qin Dewei replied: "I am fortunate to be able to study classics and meanings with Zhang Chao Zhang. The opportunity is so rare that I am reluctant to give it up."
When Feng En heard this, he suddenly realized and agreed: "If you are a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, it is indeed necessary to stay for a while to listen to the lectures. It will be of great benefit to you in the imperial examination."
Relegation and relocation are not transfers, and sloppiness is not tolerated.
The Ministry of Punishment took Feng En out of the prison the next day and took him directly outside the city without allowing him to go home to wash and change clothes.
If you want to stop, go to the nearest inn outside the city. As long as you are still in the city, you must look like you are waiting.
As soon as the relatives and friends got the news, they were already prepared and waiting outside the city.
Feng En's mother, Wu Shi, and Feng Xingke both showed up. They planned to accompany Feng En to the east for a while, and then turn south and return to Jiangnan.
So the focus of Feng En's farewell today was on other people. He drank three bowls of wine on the roadside and then said goodbye to each other one by one.
The atmosphere was still sentimental, and everyone was in a heavy mood.
Qin Dewei was the last one, and Feng En said with great emotion: "I have been lucky enough to get to know you for three lifetimes, and it was only because of your planning that I was able to escape from danger and get out of prison.
But now that I have gone to Liaodong and you have returned to the south of the Yangtze River, I don’t know when we will see each other again, and I don’t know when we will be able to repay you."
Qin Dewei pinched his fingers and said, "I've done the math. It will be almost the same in two years. Maybe we can meet again in the capital."
Feng En laughed loudly and said: "You are a lawyer, when did you change your career to fortune telling?"
Others only said that Qin Dewei was deliberately easing Feng En, saying "two years" for such a short period of time.
There are many people who have been guarding the border for more than ten years and never come back. Even if Feng En has a backer in the court, it is impossible to let him back in two years. That would be too disrespectful of the emperor's face.
Qin Dewei warned: "Listen to the next advice, Mr. Feng is going to Guangning, Liaodong, and don't forget the foundation of your life! If you practice diligently, it will be of great use!"
Although Feng En was confused, he didn't know why Qin Dewei suddenly started preaching to him.
But this was a benefactor, so Mr. Feng could only respond meaningfully: "I never dare to forget the sage's classics. Even if I go to the borderlands, I will always practice them!"
Qin Dewei was very surprised and asked: "Who said anything about the meaning of the scriptures? I mean your stick technique. This is the foundation of your life. Don't let it go to waste."
Feng En: ""
Riding on a horse! We have to say goodbye now, but don’t forget the connotation, I!
"Remember, you must practice diligently!" Qin Dewei warned seriously.
Feng En went on the road with doubts. Is Qin Dewei serious? Is he trying to force himself to transform into a military attache?
