Qin Dewei's counterattack against Huo Tao made many people nervous, and those who had a good relationship with Qin Dewei were sweating.
Because everyone who hangs around in the court knows that there is no small matter before the emperor, so he must be careful in his words and deeds, and Emperor Jiajing is a person who is recognized as difficult to serve.
But Qin Dewei, as a newcomer, dared to attack a Zuodu censor in front of the emperor so straightforwardly and without leaving any room for error.
Qin Dewei himself is not nervous. He is not an ordinary newcomer. Of course he has the ability.
As a new number one scholar who set a historical record, a Jiajing man who is the symbol of the new generation, a man who has just made contributions and worked hard in Liaodong, even if he is guilty of the following, what will happen if he sprays a few words about Huo Tao?
Although Emperor Jiajing was petty, he was not the king of Jie and Zhou. How could he risk his life for this?
At this time, Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the throne in the Wenhua Palace, did not look at Qin Dewei or Huo Tao. Instead, he kept scanning the officials.
What was the emperor thinking? Many people had already guessed it.
The emperor was unwilling to punish Huo Tao, his "old comrade in arms at the Dali Conference," but he needed someone else to come forward and find a way for Huo Tao to step down first.
However, Huo Tao, who is usually headstrong, is very popular and has a great reputation for his great achievements in rituals, so no one came forward to help him for the time being.
Or are they still considering the pros and cons, is it worth stepping in to smooth things over?
Because speaking for Huo Tao, although it catered to the emperor's intention, it also meant offending Xia Yan and the "reputable" Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei was secretly proud. He didn't expect that he would be able to suppress the court in his first attack.
It seems that even if Huo Tao can pass the test this time, he still has to peel off layers of skin.
But this scene could not help but make Emperor Jiajing frown, and even feel a little dissatisfied.
At this moment, Xia Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, suddenly stood up and told the emperor: "I have made a decree, and I promise that the censor will hear what is said.
Therefore, I believe that Huo Tao, the censor of Zuodu, did not make a false accusation against Qin Dewei, but just heard it, and that it is even more nonsense to say that he is rebellious."
Emperor Jiajing's expression immediately softened a bit, and he felt relieved that Xia Yan was sensible.
Everyone thought that someone would eventually come forward, but they didn't expect it to be Xia Yan.
Thinking again of Huo Tao's vicious attack on "Xia Party" Qin Dewei just now, and looking at Xia Yan's complete excuse for Huo Tao.
Gee, this is politics!
Xia Yan would rather betray his teammates like this to cater to the emperor. Maybe the emperor would be so happy that he would backhand him and appoint him to the cabinet?
From a politician's perspective, this step is a masterstroke.
Qin Dewei was also surprised. He once again understood deeply why Master Xia had been favored by the emperor and became a rocket cadre in recent years.
But I'm a little unhappy. It was you, Xia Yan, who caused the problem, which caused Huo Tao to kill Qin Dewei just now!
For the crime of being a minister, the maximum penalty is beheading!
Fortunately, Qin Dewei reacted quickly and forced Huo Tao into the corner with a counterattack. But you Xia Yan let it go with a few words and used it to sell favors?
Although this is a qualified politician's behavior, have you ever considered Qin Dewei's mood and face?
Qin Dewei, who is based in the court, doesn't want to lose face? He said a little unfairly: "Your Majesty! Minister"
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot in June and it was easy to catch a cold. Several people suddenly coughed at the same time, interrupting Qin Dewei's performance.
There was Wang Tingxiang, Teacher Zhang, and some of Master Xia's relatives, friends and gang members.
It can even be said that no minister in the entire Wenhua Palace wants Qin Dewei to speak anymore!
Huh? Qin Dewei glanced to both sides from the corner of his eyes and accidentally discovered that everyone was staring at him.
If this wasn't the Wenhua Palace, if it wasn't for the fear of disrespecting the emperor, I'm afraid that several ministers who care about the younger generation would have swarmed up and dragged the newcomer Qin Dewei down, gagging him.
Stop talking! Xia Yan's words are what the emperor thinks. If you dare to criticize Xia Yan, it will be tantamount to criticizing the emperor!
The emperor's tendency is so obvious. If you continue to criticize Huo Tao, you are also criticizing the emperor!
Gu/span> It doesn’t matter if the young man suffers a little injustice. If Xia Yan can make the emperor happy, it will not hurt to be a bachelor!
Don’t blame everyone for thinking too much, there have been precedents for similar things!
It was Luo Lun, who was second only to Qin Dewei in terms of the number of imperial examination papers and the number one scholar in the second year of Chenghua. As soon as he became the editor, he scolded the chief assistant at the time and was forced to leave!
Qin Dewei sighed secretly, saluted Emperor Jiajing, and then returned to his desk, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, and said nothing!
This attitude shows that Qin Dewei gave up the opportunity to speak.
Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qin Dewei would be too young and angry and would not let him go.
At this critical moment, I gently let Huo Tao go, not only to please the emperor, but also to express my loyalty to the emperor.
It’s all worth it to get into the cabinet!
Emperor Jiajing suddenly greeted: "Xia Yan!"
Xia Yan was secretly happy. He could judge based on experience, so this was probably a reward for himself.
Then I heard the emperor ask: "Since you and Mr. Fei are from the same hometown and were in the same court, there must be a lot of correspondence between you and me on a daily basis?"
This Mr. Fei is Fei Hong, the shield master introduced by Qin Dewei just now.
Xia Yan didn't know what the emperor meant when he suddenly asked this, so he could only answer truthfully: "It is true."
Emperor Jiajing asked again: "How is Mr. Fei's health?"
They were all top political figures. Emperor Jiajing's imperial question immediately struck Xia Yan like a thunderbolt.
When the cabinet was short of people, the emperor suddenly asked, how is your fellow countryman's health lately?
How else can you answer that? And does the emperor really want to ask about the situation, or is he testing your attitude?
No matter what Xia Yan was thinking, he could only answer: "I heard he's still healthy."
He did not dare to say that Senior Fei was not good at this time, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
Emperor Jiajing glanced at the ministers again and said: "The imperial court has lost important ministers one after another in the past two months. I intend to ask Mr. Fei to return to the court to take charge. Do you have any objections?"
Xia Yan's heart suddenly felt like a knife. What a great opportunity to join the cabinet, but it actually belonged to someone else.
The emperor had probably made up his mind. What else could everyone say? They all went to see Qin Dewei again.
Everyone knows very well that the only person who is qualified to "dissent" is probably Qin Dewei.
After all, the name Fei Hong was first mentioned by Qin Dewei just now.
So Qin Dewei can go up and say, I just thought about it, but Fei Hong is old and frail after all, your majesty, please don't torment him.
Many people are looking forward to Qin Dewei's further performance, risking the risk of contradicting the emperor, and going out to defeat Fei Hong.
But Qin Dewei seemed to be heartbroken and continued to look at his nose and heart without saying a word.
Seeing that Fei Hong's return to the imperial court had become an established fact, everyone was speechless for a long time.
Qin Dewei was suddenly attacked by Huo Tao just now, and he had no choice but to use Fei Hong as a shield.
But I didn’t expect that this name would actually be used by the emperor!
If the former chief assistant Fei Hong comes back, he will definitely still be the chief assistant. In other words, the next chief assistant will theoretically be recommended by Qin Dewei to the emperor?
In the past two months, three people have left the cabinet, and another person is coming. All of them are related to Qin Dewei. The Jiajing man is so horrified!
Xia Yan, who had the biggest psychological gap, was at a loss. What had he done wrong?
He showed his loyalty by betraying his teammates in such a subtle way, why didn't the emperor accept his loyalty?
