In the end, Qin Dewei was kicked out by his father-in-law. He kept waiting obediently in the lobby of the front yard while muttering, "Kill the donkeys, rabbits, dogs, cook the birds, and hide them all."
About half an hour later, Zeng's stepfather came out. After making eye contact and confirming that nothing was wrong, the two of them walked out of the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate together.
Qin Dewei said loudly and fiercely: "There should be no big problem. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate dares to do evil again and downplay my father's achievements in Liaodong, then in order to fulfill my filial piety, I will hold Huo Tao and die together! I heard that he is not in good health!"
Zeng’s father wanted to say something that would burn bridges: It would be the greatest filial piety if you could just calm down.
The clerks and officers on duty at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as the officials passing by, trembled together and pretended not to hear.
Zeng Mian looked around and couldn't help criticizing: "Young people, don't be too arrogant!"
"You are still called a young man if you are not so angry?" Qin Dewei continued to block the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and retorted loudly:
"We in the border town shed blood and sweat to repay the emperor's kindness, and we went through hardships to earn some merit!
It just so happens that there are some idle ministers in the court who have the heart to deliberately suppress meritorious officials for their own selfish purposes!
What I hate the most in my life is this kind of person! So many things in my life have been ruined by this kind of person!"
Zeng Mian was very doubtful, how could such an angry young man, who was blaming the sky and the earth, survive in the capital for half a year?
"By the way, sir, please don't imitate me." When the two of them walked to the Shuanma Stone, Qin Dewei suddenly reminded him in a low voice: "I know who can scold and who cannot.
You have no idea, so don’t follow my example. If it doesn’t work, you should consult me in advance and don’t curse people without permission.”
Zeng Hou's father had nothing to say, so he got on his horse and found that his son had not moved where he was.
Qin Dewei waved his hand: "You go back first. If you have nothing else to do, you can secretly visit Official Xia in the evening."
Zeng Mian asked in surprise: "Then why are you staying here? Are you still blocking the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and cursing people?"
Qin Dewei pointed to the Yamen next door and replied: "I'll go to the Criminal Department next door to have a look and talk to Senior Wang about the affairs of this Beijing camp."
Zeng's father sighed helplessly. It took eight lifetimes of virtue to pick up such a cheap son. I don't know what was going on in his mind all day long.
The three judicial offices are all together, and next to the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the Criminal Department.
Because Wang Tingxiang has two practical jobs: Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Admiral of the 12th Regiment, he is not sure where he will work.
So Qin Dewei went to the gate of the Ministry of Justice and asked the clerk on duty about the situation.
Knowing that Mr. Wang was working inside at this time, he asked the scribe to send a message to see him.
After Qin Dewei entered the court, he asked: "Old senior, as the governor of the Beijing camp, are you in need of mid-level officers?"
Wang Tingxiang asked with great interest: "Do you want to appoint someone? Who is he, who can actually help you to open your mouth?"
Qin Dewei replied: "The household registration is in Tielingwei, Liaodong Town. His family's official is in command of Qian affairs. His name is Li Jing, but he has not yet succeeded to the throne.
Recently, he has accumulated some military merits, so he came to the capital and prepared to go through the formalities of seizing the throne."
Wang Tingxiang shouted: "You are nonsense! The company commanders in the capital camp must be selected from the commanders of the capital guards!"
The idle command officer of the remote guards you mentioned is still unqualified. He is a few levels away from the commander of the Beijing camp, but he still wants to be selected as an officer?"
Qin Dewei continued to request: "It doesn't matter if you don't get selected as an officer. Anyway, can you make an exception to the selection? It doesn't matter if you are gilded in the Beijing camp, anything is fine."
Wang Tingxiang then asked: "Why should we break the rules? Could it be that this person has made great achievements and must be rewarded?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "How do I know this? I only know her!"
Qin Dewei really doesn't know what Li Chengliang's father has done.
Wang Tingxiang asked again: "Is it possible that this person has extraordinary talents and is a pillar?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "How do I know this? I only know her!"
Is Li Chengliang's father talented? Qin Dewei really doesn't know.
Wang Tingxiang was annoyed, "You are not sure whether he has talent, which means you are not very familiar with him, so why did you come here to ask for special selection?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "I'm really not very familiar with her, I only know her!"
Wang Tingxiang immediately guessed something, "Could it be that he has a beautiful daughter, or a sister?"
Qin Dewei sighed again and said nothing more.
The shrewd Wang Tingxiang understood instantly that you, Qin Dewei, wanted to give the other party a huge favor, so that the other party would not be able to refuse your unreasonable demands in the future?
Mr. Wang silently pointed to the door. You, Qin Dewei, had better get out of the house quickly and quickly. Don't use the official imperial weapon as a tool of your unspoken rules!
"Let's not talk about this for now!" Qin Dewei saw that something was not going well, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "We have a wedding this year, and there is no time. I plan to do something next year."
Wang Tingxiang had no control over the noble Hanlin Academy, but he still couldn't help his damn curiosity, "What do you want to do? Compile a book? A book like Xifan Shulue?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I need the capital camp to provide me with craftsmen, open space, materials, handymen, and some inventory, and then I can research firearms."
Wang Tingxiang: ""
This turning point was really a bit abrupt, and Mr. Wang almost ducked.
Mr. Wang has known Qin Dewei since five years ago. Among all the officials in the capital, he is the one who is most familiar with Qin Dewei.
He knew very well that Qin Dewei was not a normal person (no derogatory meaning), but he still never expected that Qin Dewei could be so abnormal!
You, a world-famous scholar and poet, a potential future leader of the literary world, the next Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, don't want to be polite, but go to study firearms?
Wang Tingxiang was very suspicious of Zhuangyuan Gong's professional quality and asked: "Do you know what a firearm is?"
"Of course I know! Our Daming firearms have been stagnant for a hundred years and lagged behind the Western Empire!" Qin Dewei said sadly, and strategically pointed out the trend of future wars developing toward firearms.
Wang Tingxiang was dumbfounded. You, a top scholar, still understand this? "Then where do you want to start?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I heard that Wang Hong seized some Folang machines in Guangdong and proposed to imitate them. In fact, his opinion was correct.
So the first step is to take out Curry's Folang machine and carefully study the imitation. This is currently the easiest way to get started.
When I have my hands free next year, I will give it a try, and I will need more support from my bosses then."
Although Qin Dewei is a liberal arts student, he is also a liberal arts student in the 21st century.
Wang Tingxiang shook his head and said: "If you don't do your Hanlin articles, but you want to do your job here, it is simply willful and random, and you are not afraid of being impeached."
At this point, Wang Tingxiang suddenly realized, "Could this be your self-destruction technique?"
People in history books only start to taint themselves after they have achieved great success. In reality, this man started thinking about tainting himself just six months after entering officialdom. It is really weird!
"I'm serious, whatever you think, sir," Qin Dewei said.
