Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Sixth Except for the Grand Scholar, It's Me
Qin Dewei initially persuaded Xu Miaoxuan, and when he was about to strike while the iron was hot, Xu Gu, the editor of the same year, ran over and informed that the emperor would hold a sutra feast the day after tomorrow.
This kind of notice is usually sent to the Hanlin Academy, and everyone who works normally in the Hanlin Academy will naturally know about it.
Only people like Qin Dewei who are absent from work need a kind-hearted person to come and notify him alone.
The Sutra Feast is traditionally suspended during the cold winter and scorching heat. Now that we have entered early spring, the Sutra Feast has begun again.
Now Qin Dewei has been promoted to the rank of Bachelor of Science and Technology, has a certain status in the industry, and is ranked high in the class. He is no longer as small and transparent as before.
So it was a pity that he could not miss the feast at will. He could only temporarily give up striking while the iron was hot and go to work to make soy sauce.
The next day, Qin Dewei went to the Hanlin Academy.
No matter what will be said to the emperor at the banquet, all Hanlin officials will review the relevant content in advance to avoid the emperor suddenly asking about it and catching everyone off guard...
Logically speaking, Qin Dewei would have the opportunity to give lectures to the emperor when he reached the rank of bachelor.
But Qin Dewei was too young, so when arranging the lecturer's class, Qin Dewei was excluded. This was the suggestion of Bachelor Zhang Chao Zhang.
In the Hanlin Academy, Bachelor Qin first went to the Zhuangyuan Hall to urge two wage earners, Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji, to seize the time to revise the "Emperor's Precepts".
For a moment, Bachelor Qin felt slightly uneasy about his conscience, feeling like a master's degree tutor who exploited cheap labor.
It can only be said that the sign of a person's success is often living the way he once hated the most.
Then when Qin Dewei was about to find the lecture notes for tomorrow's scripture feast, Academician Wen, the dean of the academy, wanted to summon him.
Qin Dewei thought it was a matter of canceling counterfeit goods, so Shi Shiran came to the main hall.
Academician Wen took a note, waved it at Qin Dewei and said, "Someone is impeaching you!"
Qin Dewei was unprepared and was shocked by this. He subconsciously asked, "Is this happening?"
Bachelor Wen nodded: "It has just been sent to the Hanlin Academy for you to"
Qin Dewei rubbed his hands excitedly, "Oh my, I didn't expect someone to impeach me. I have never had this experience before.
How can I pretend to be impeached all the time? Should I quickly go to court to defend myself, and then go home and accept the crime behind closed doors?"
Scholar Wen was speechless, did you, Qin Dewei, make a mistake? You are being impeached, so why are you looking so cheerful?
"Let me see what has been impeached." Qin Dewei took the folder and opened it eagerly.
In the Ming Dynasty, can a minister who is not impeached still be called a minister?
Qin Dewei looked carefully and found that there were three main charges for impeaching him: "First, living in a state of solitude, living in leisurely activities, shoving the blame when things happen, and not arriving at the Yamen on time!"
Second, being mediocre and inactive, being an official at the banquet, saying nothing, making no progress!
Third, those who have no virtues and conduct, harbor selfish intentions, and do deceitful things are really the signs of a traitor!"
Scholar Wen stared at Qin Dewei closely. He was actually very curious about how people like Qin Dewei would behave after seeing the charges of impeachment.
After reading it, Qin Dewei nodded and said, "Most of the content here is actually quite correct."
Bachelor Wen: ""
He found that he didn't know how to answer the question. Should he agree with Qin Dewei's words or disagree?
Qin Dewei asked again: "Why is there no signature on it? Who impeached it?"
For most impeachment memorials, it may not matter what is being impeached, but who initiates the impeachment is the most critical element.
Scholar Wen then replied: "This is just an abbreviation copied from the palace, not the original."
Qin Dewei wanted to say goodbye and leave to find out the news.
Bachelor Wen quickly stopped Qin Dewei and said, "Do you know that you are the first Hanlin official to be impeached in recent years?"
Hanlin officials had a relatively aloof status, were close to the emperor, did not participate in many practical matters, and rarely had direct conflicts with other courtiers. They were "nurturing and hopeful" officials.
Therefore, it is rare for Hanlin officials to be impeached, and Qin Dewei's case is very rare this time.
In fact, what Bachelor Wen really wants to say is that you, Qin Dewei, can be impeached even if you are a member of the Imperial Academy. Don’t you feel embarrassed!
But Qin Dewei sighed and said: "It seems that apart from the cabinet bachelor, I am the one who was impeached by the attendant Ci Lin. I can't help but feel honored."
Academicians must be from the Hanlin Academy, and the origin of the cabinet also comes from the Hanlin Academy. There is nothing wrong with them all serving as Ci Lin officials!
What kind of brain circuit is this horse riding? Scholar Wen felt a headache, waved his hand and said: "You can defend yourself at the banquet tomorrow!"
You can say whatever you like about the emperor, life or death is up to you, the Hanlin Academy doesn't care!
Back home, since Qin Dewei was impeached, he could only act like he was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, and would not go out again.
Then he sent Ma Er to quietly go out and stay at the gatehouse of Xia Ge's hometown, waiting for Mr. Xia Ge to come out of the palace.
Except for those sent directly to the emperor, memorials usually go through the cabinet, so Xia Yan must know who initiated the impeachment.
In the evening, when Ma Er came back, he reported to Qin Dewei: "Mr.
This makes Qin Dewei feel baffled. It's not that you, Master Xia, are asked to do anything. It's just a simple tip-off. Why is this?
Is the person who impeached me special?
The next day, Qin Dewei got up early in the morning and entered the palace conscientiously, preparing to work in the background of the Wenhua Hall.
At this Sutra banquet, in addition to the Hanlin, all the bachelors and seven ministers were present.
Qin Dewei quietly approached Xia Yan and asked, "Who is it?"
Master Xia frowned, very embarrassed, thinking about his words.
Qin Dewei turned towards Gu Dingchen, another great scholar next to him, and saluted: "Mr. Gu, do you know who is impeaching me?"
Gu Dingchen glanced at Qin Dewei, then at Yan Song, the Minister of Rites, and said with a smile: "A Taichang Temple supervisor named Yan."
Damn it! Qin Dewei had many speculations, but he never expected that Yan Shifan would pop up.
No wonder Xia Yan is so entangled. In Master Xia's eyes, this is internal strife.
At this time, Emperor Jiajing was enthroned in the palace, and Qin Dewei quickly returned to his seat and began to serve as the backdrop for the sutra banquet.
Today's lecturer is Zhang Xueshi, and the banquet is about to end at noon. According to the custom, we can disperse after discussing a few more political matters.
Wen Renhe, a Hanlin scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy, said: "In order to avoid the suspicion of favoritism in the Imperial Academy regarding Qin Dewei's impeachment, I only ask Your Majesty to allow him to defend himself."
This is also the advantage of Hanlin. After ordinary courtiers are impeached by memorials, according to the procedure, they usually go to court to defend themselves. How can they have such an opportunity to defend themselves against the emperor up close and personal?
After standing all morning, everyone who was already starting to feel sleepy suddenly stopped feeling sleepy when they heard this.
Whether they are friends or foes, we all transform into happy people.
Qin Dewei came out of the class and reported to Emperor Jiajing: "The bullets I saw, the three crimes of mediocrity, incompetence, and immorality are mostly correct!"
All the people were astonished, Qin Dewei didn't make any excuses?
If Qin Dewei doesn't quibble in every possible way, what fun would there be?
