Wang Tingxiang thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "Are you trying to make a splash and attract the emperor's attention?
But it's really impossible. No matter how popular you are, you will only be a quasi-jinshi, and you can't compete with the ministers in kindness.
Besides, guessing the list of examiners is not a positive thing, there is no need to do so."
Qin Dewei said domineeringly: "I just said that the person who caused the problem must be dealt with! If I turn myself in, I will beat Zhang Shoufu!"
With forty years of experience in politics, Wang Tingxiang did not see how Qin Dewei could beat Zhang Shoufu. He was just slapping himself in the face.
Qin Dewei asked in turn: "In fact, the favor of Zhang Fujing, the chief assistant, has become erratic now, right?
Moreover, Zhang Fujing is not in good health and has been ill in recent years. It is time for him to come to an end."
Don't ask Qin Dewei how he figured it out, just ask because he is familiar with history!
According to original history, Zhang Fujing took office for the fourth time in the 14th year of Jiajing and never came back.
From then on, the Yili faction began to bow out in the political arena, until Huo Tao died of a sudden illness five years later.
Thinking of this, Qin Dewei suddenly thought, should he be nicer to Huo Tao in the future?
Thinking about Huo Tao's experience of being knocked unconscious by himself twice, and then thinking about the historical ending of Huo Tao's sudden illness and death in his fifties, Qin Dewei suddenly felt a little scared.
He began to suspect that Huo Tao had problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and cerebral thrombosis. If he was angered to death on the spot, his reputation as a generous person would be ruined.
However, Qin Dewei's judgment on the political situation did not surprise Wang Tingxiang. He only said:
"Many people can see Zhang Fujing's situation, otherwise why would Xia Guizhou want to replace him?
But no matter how weak Zhang Fuking is, he is still the chief minister! As long as he does not become an official, he will still be the chief minister!"
Qin Dewei said briefly and concisely: "Then let's push it! In fact, the root cause of the rumors about the examiner list is because of Zhang Shoufu's monopoly!"
Wang Tingxiang: ""
Wang Da Sikou only felt that three big characters appeared out of thin air, dangling in front of his eyes.
These three words are "unnecessary"! This is Qin Dewei's unique skill!
Before and after, Qin Dewei and Wang Tingxiang didn't speak for long, and two more scholars came together to visit the chief minister.
These two scholars are both from Shanxi, because Wang Tingxiang's ancestral home is Shanxi.
"Goodbye for the time being and wait for the opportunity!" Qin Dewei couldn't stick around because it would disturb other people's social interactions, so he had to take the initiative to leave.
When he walked out, he secretly thought, even Wang Tingxiang's home was so lively, how lively would it be in the homes of those bachelors and three ministers?
This atmosphere really feels a bit like the scholars before the imperial examinations in the prosperous Tang Dynasty who went around visiting the powerful.
As Qin Dewei guessed, postponing the palace examination for half a month really gave more time for the game, and there were more ups and downs.
Among literati and poets, the two top-grade Huanxisha poems are very popular, especially among those who have failed in the imperial examination, and those who live in the capital and are not recognized for their talents are even more moved after listening to them.
The reason why it is popular is, on the one hand, because the lyrics are of extremely high quality, and of course their popularity is also high; on the other hand, it is because it is combined with the most popular imperial examination topic at the moment.
The story of Qin Dewei, a poet tycoon in the south of the Yangtze River, who had the strength of the Three Tripods, but was suppressed in the imperial examination, has been circulated as a background.
In other words, it is not a story, but a verifiable real person, and you can find out the direction of the trend with a little inquiry.
But in the eyes of most people, that's it. So what if it creates some public opinion?
If there is nothing substantial, just spreading public opinion is of little use to the powerful.
Sometimes, the world is so unfair.
There are so many talented people who have been suppressed throughout the ages, and there are so many stories that have been circulated, it is not difficult to turn around.
A man as strong as Su Dongpo could also sadly write a sentence like "Ask you about your life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou".
Qin Shiba was actually doing well, at least he was not like Tang Bohu, who was tricked in the examination.
When these rumors reached the ears of a certain boss named Huo, they only elicited a contemptuous smile. In Mr. Huo's view, when a person only has the means of public opinion, it often means that his skills are at the end of his rope.
Fast forward to mid-March, Qin Dewei came out of Xu's house and felt inexplicable, why did Sister Xuan always ignore him recently?
The reaction when touched is the same as that of wood, so what else is there to say about it?
When I returned to my home, I saw Chen Feng and Xu Gu coming back drunk from outside at the gate.
The recent story of Qin Shiba being suppressed can be circulated, and the "Jinling Double Scholars" combination also contributed a lot, and their training was not in vain.
"Brother Qin! I heard something today!" Chen Feng greeted: "The chief assistant and Tianguan are biting each other again!"
Qin Dewei commented: "In the current palace examination, a Sandingjia is equivalent to a Hanlin, and a top ten is almost equivalent to a Shujishi. It is normal for these two elders to compete with each other for ranking."
Xu Gu explained in detail: "An official named Xue Kan, after the completion of the new nine temples, made a statement to the emperor. For the sake of the clan's great plans, he requested that virtuous people be selected from among the vassals and be allowed to live in the capital until the birth of the emperor's heir.
"
Qin Dewei: ""
Is this guy sick? Didn’t this horse rider slap his bow left and right and slap the Emperor Jiajing in the face?
Emperor Jiajing had been on the throne for more than ten years. He only gave birth to a son in the twelfth year of Jiajing the year before last, and he died within two months.
Other than that, nothing has come out so far.
Xue Kan's superficial meaning is to choose a virtuous clan member to pray in the capital and wait for your majesty to give birth to a son.
In fact, the metaphor means that if your majesty really fails to give birth, you can still have a clan member ready to take over in advance.
With Emperor Jiajing's short temper, he could only laugh when he saw this memorial to Qin Dewei.
Xu Gu continued: "There are rumors that before Xue Kan wrote the memorial, Zhang Shoufu learned the contents of the draft. Then he secretly told the emperor in advance that Xia Yan would instruct Xue Kan to write a letter about something.
And Xia Guan is now accusing Zhang Shoufu of deliberately creating such a memorial to frame him!"
Hearing this, Qin Dewei looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas!"
Chen Feng asked: "Why is Brother Qin sighing? Is it because he is worried about the country and the people?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I originally thought that the battle in the court was a matter of foresight, careful layout, exhaustive calculation, and shocking every step.
But I didn’t expect that the real court battle would be such a non-technical frame-up of each other, and in the end the dog would bite the dog.”
When Chen Feng and Xu Gu heard Qin Dewei's words, they felt sad.
Qin Dewei didn't think much about other people's troubles and said to the two of them: "In this case, it feels like the time is almost up. I will surrender to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow!"
Chen and Xu looked at each other, they really didn't know what Qin Dewei was going to do.
Could it be that Jiangdong's little bully is just too smart and wants to demonstrate technically what "what you think is a court battle" is?
