Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh is the literal meaning
Qin Dewei had just returned to the capital and was not very clear about the public opinion in the capital, so he did not understand what Mr. Wang Tingxiang meant.
Two bachelors have just left, what does Qin Dewei have to do with him?
But then he heard Wang Tingxiang say: "You, a young Hanlin who just entered the officialdom, attacked and criticized from thousands of miles away, causing the first and second assistants to become official officials. It is really enough!"
So Qin Dewei finally understood everything. It turned out that everyone in the capital thought he had done it!
But it was obviously Feng Qingcheng who acted without authorization and wrote a memorial to impeach the three traitors. Unexpectedly, he took the blame for Feng Qingcheng!
Qin Dewei felt that he had been wronged, and he didn't know where to explain it. He could only plead: "Senior, please believe me. It was not my instigation, and I didn't know it beforehand!"
Wang Tingxiang sighed and said: "I can reluctantly pretend to believe you, but you go and stand outside the right gate of Chang'an and ask the passing officials to see how many of them believe you?"
Qin Dewei just wanted to curse God. In such an opportune month as June, there would be no snowfall to prove his innocence!
Having nothing to say, Qin Dewei stood up and left.
According to the Ming Dynasty system, any imperial envoy who returns to the capital must first return his seal and complete his job description and inspection before he can do other work.
Qin Dewei was no exception, so he could only honestly write a detailed description of his job, and then went to the Hanlin Academy.
The person in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy today is Dong Qi, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Hanlin bachelor in charge of the academy, who is the role model that Teacher Zhang mentioned for Qin Dewei to learn from.
When Qin Dewei submitted the detailed description of his job description, Bachelor Dong was really a little confused.
He has worked in the Hanlin Academy for thirty years, and has never seen this kind of business of assessing and reviewing the dispatch of quelling rebels.
In other words, there has never been an extremely noble Hanlin official who rolled up his sleeves and rode into the camp alone with unparalleled courage to quell the rebels.
This matter really does not belong to the Hanlin Academy for investigation, but we cannot leave the Hanlin Ci officials to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
So just as Wang Tingxiang expected, Academician Dong reported it to the cabinet of the Hanlin Academy's palace branch.
Then the great scholar Zhai Luan took the initiative to take over the matter, and the chief assistant Li Shi would not fight for it at all.
Speaking of Li Shi, the first assistant, he was a bachelor the second year after Qin Dewei traveled through time, but he had almost no sense of existence.
Historically, he served as a bachelor for seven years, including about three years as a first assistant, but he was unknown in later generations.
Even many people who are interested in Ming history have never heard of this chief minister. This shows how low-key and honest this person is.
How many people know that Yan Song can join the cabinet to replace Li Shi who died of illness?
Li Shi was definitely the only one who could serve as the first assistant in the Jiajing Dynasty and be able to live in peace with the world.
Without further ado, let’s just say that after the great scholar Zhai Luan got the power to inspect Qin Dewei, he openly spoke about it.
He said that young people have been a bit arrogant recently, and as an old-timer, he wants to teach the young people a lesson. So Qin Dewei can't easily pass the inspection. It's useless for anyone to intercede!
In fact, Bachelor Zhai knew very well that it was basically impossible to do anything to Qin Dewei, but even if he could make things difficult for Qin Dewei, it would be a very good way to increase his prestige.
Now the chief assistant, Li Shi, is relatively low-key and weak in character, and if he, a bachelor, were stronger, he could easily control the power of the cabinet!
But other ministers said one after another, Mr. Zhai Ge, please do as you please, no one wants to hinder you.
Of course, if you really achieve successful experience, everyone can watch and learn together.
Then Qin Dewei, the other party that attracted much attention, suddenly fell silent, which made the viewers a little confused. This was completely inconsistent with Qin Dewei's character.
Could it be that Qin Dewei showed weakness like this when he faced Zhai Luan?
Originally, Grand Bachelor Zhai Luan followed the rules and summoned Qin Dewei for an inspection in person, and the location was set to be in the east room outside the Meridian Gate.
But Qin Dewei took leave at home in the name of getting married.
As mentioned earlier, for new scholars, the first year may be the most carefree time in life.
They can stay in the Sixth Ministry for a few months to observe the government, or they can take leave to visit relatives or return to their hometown to get married.
Anyway, before the end of the year, the court is generally tolerant and does not force people to go to work. Of course, if there are people who are particularly motivated to become officials, they can choose officials as soon as possible after being promoted to Jinshi.
Qin Dewei made full use of this unspoken rule. No matter what you call him, Grand Bachelor Zhai Luan, he is hiding at home and cannot come out. He is on vacation!
What others don't know is that Qin Dewei has secretly sent servants to take shifts outside Zhai Luan's mansion to monitor closely.
Although Zhai Luan is not a historical figure with many highlight moments, there are still a few things that are quite impressive in Qin Dewei's memory.
One thing is that in the 18th year of Jiajing's reign, the emperor visited the south, and then he needed to send an important minister of sufficient weight to inspect the nine sides.
At that time, the imperial court recommended Zhai Luan, who had been idle at home for more than a year, and appointed Zhai Luan as Minister of the Ministry of War to inspect the nine sides. Finally, he returned with dozens of carts loaded with them.
So the question arises, why was Zhai Luan still unemployed at home when he was neither at fault nor punished?
A few days passed, and Ma Er, who was on shift, saw an imperial doctor hurriedly enter the Zhai Mansion, and not long after, the Zhai Mansion turned into a mess.
After Qin Dewei got the news, he rushed to the imperial city as soon as possible.
When he checked in at the right gate of Chang'an, he met a servant of the Zhai family, explaining something to the officers and soldiers on duty.
However, it was generally forbidden to spread news inside and outside the palace. It was very difficult for the servants of the Zhai family to send a message to the great scholar Zhai who worked in the cabinet.
Qin Dewei took the initiative and said to the Zhai family servant: "I will take the message for you!"
Then Qin Dewei, relying on his Hanlin status, arrived outside the Meridian Gate unimpeded, and then asked the officers and soldiers on duty at the Meridian Gate to pass a message.
Then he waited in the East Chao Room. At this time, there were other officials in the East Chao Room who came in and out of the inner court.
After everyone saw Qin Dewei, they started chatting with interest. Someone asked: "Master Qin is here today, is he here for inspection? How does Master Qin plan to pass the test?"
Qin Dewei responded calmly: "I just hope Mr. Zhai Ge will show his respect."
Not long after, I saw University Scholar Zhai walking in surrounded by several people from the Middle School.
When Zhai Luan saw Qin Dewei, he felt that his experience package had arrived.
He cleared his throat and was about to say something when Qin Dewei suddenly spoke first: "Mr. Zhai Ge, your mother is dead!"
Zhai Luan was furious when he heard this, it was simply unreasonable!
Everyone else in the court room criticized Qin Dewei one after another. They had never seen such a vicious minister, especially a Hanyuan Ci Minister!
If you dare to curse other people's parents, you may be exempted from punishment if you are beaten to death on the spot!
However, Qin Dewei quickly explained to Zhai Luan: "I passed by your mansion and saw that something was wrong. The servant of your mansion asked me to bring a message to Mr. Ge!"
Everyone: ""
So the "your mother is dead" just now was not a curse, but just a literal meaning?
Does Qin Dewei have magic power? Whoever offends his opponent will be unlucky?
Anyone in the officialdom who encounters such a thing will immediately resign and go home to serve for three years!
There are only two bachelors in the cabinet now, and in the blink of an eye, one is missing!
In order to replace him in the cabinet, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court again!
