Academician Xia’s head hurt, and he felt that he was a fake academician.
Ever since the older generation of the Etiquette Sect faded away, everyone in the court knew that he, Xia Yan, was the most powerful one.
When someone else is a big boss, if they don't respond to everyone's call within the power, that's just keeping their word.
For example, Huo Tao, who has a strong personality, had great respect for Zhang Fujing, the first assistant, and at least would not openly oppose him.
Why is it that it's his turn to be the boss, and he can't even suppress a fifth-grade bachelor's degree student on the periphery?
Moreover, Yan Song acted without permission. Does this mean he doesn't trust his own strength?
The people from Zhongshushe who followed the Xia University scholar stood at the door of the east room and asked respectfully: "Do you have any other instructions from Mr. Ge?"
Master Xia shouted angrily: "Go to Dali Temple and invite Qin Dewei's father!"
Although Qin Dewei didn't use much of his Xia Yan's resources, so his back was very stiff.
But Qin Dewei's father went from being the county magistrate of Liaocheng, to being promoted to patrol magistrate of Liaodong, and then to being promoted to the prime minister of Dali Temple, it was all directly handled by him, Xia Yan!
If you can't hold Qin Dewei in check, how can you hold back Qin Dewei's father? This is the confidence of Academician Xia!
Zhongshu Sheren followed the order and left. Only halfway did he remember, what was Qin Dewei's father's name?
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t remember it. When you get to Dali Temple, you’ll know who it is as soon as you ask.
There were really no major events in the court during the 16th year of Jiajing. One of the hottest topics at the moment was actually the discussion about whether to conquer Annan.
To put it simply, Mo Dengyong, a powerful official in Annan, conspired to usurp the throne and established himself as an independent government for more than ten years. The Li family of the former royal family asked the Ming court for help.
Then the imperial court began to discuss from the end of last year whether to fight Annan or not, and whether someone would advocate war or peace...
Qin Dewei's impression was that they had been discussing this nonsense for a whole year, which shows how boring the court in the 16th year of Jiajing was.
So when Yan Song, the Minister of Rites, surrendered himself to the Qin Mansion, and then Academician Qin was scolded by Academician Xia, and then Academician Qin kicked the door of the room in anger, the popularity smoothly surpassed the discussion of conquering Annan.
The affairs of powerful officials from a small country thousands of miles away are not as fresh and lively as the gossips of the stars of the Ming Dynasty.
As a star Hanlin scholar, Qin Xueshi is indeed too domineering.
He took advantage of other people's sons, forced the Minister of Rites to bow his head, and refused to give in.
To be honest, Huo Tao was only in his thirties and less than forty when he came to prominence through the Great Ceremony. He was considered very young and vigorous. He was also known as domineering and aggressive in the court.
But after comparing with Bachelor Qin, many old people in the court felt that Huo Tao was just a good boy back then.
That night at Yan's Mansion, several guests arrived, all officials from Jiangxi, headed by Zhu Tingsheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
This Zhu Shilang was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi (the subject of Tang Bohu's fraud case), six years earlier than Yan Song and eighteen years earlier than Xia Yan.
Therefore, Zhu Tingsheng and Zhu Shilang can be called the elder brother among Jiangxi officials. Although he is only of the third rank, he has a high seniority.
This time, Minister Zhu came here, entrusted by Xia Yan, to appease Yan Song. Master Xia's status was too great, and it was inconvenient to come to Yan Song directly.
After a few words of greeting, Zhu Shilang took the initiative and said: "Jie Xi, why do you have to lower yourself to the level of Qin Dewei?"
Yan Song smiled bitterly: "The dog was so reckless, how could I watch the dog being sent to Guangdong? So I had to intervene in person.
I just didn't expect that even if I took the initiative to visit Qin Dewei, it would still be useless.
That’s all, just treat it as a training for the dog. As the saying goes, if a Taoist does not suffer hardship, he will become a good person, and the dog will still be young and have a chance to change."
Someone nearby said angrily: "To be fair, Qin Dewei is too arrogant and domineering!
Brother Jiexi, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, personally went to the Qin Mansion to plead for mercy, but he still refused to give in and bullied people too much!"
Everyone agreed together: "That's the truth!"
Yan Shifan, who was waiting nearby, said: "In fact, it was originally a matter between my son and Qin Dewei. My father really didn't have to end up personally entangled with Qin Dewei."
Yan Shifan was at least half sincere in what he said. He had always disagreed with his father facing Qin Dewei.
Yan Song snorted coldly: "If it wasn't you, an unfilial son, who caused the trouble, why should I give up this face!"
Zhu Shilang smoothed things over and said: "If the son of a dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites is dismissed casually, then my brother Jiexi will be disgraced.
But Brother Jiexi should really respect his status. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, so why go to the Qin Mansion with your dignity reversed!"
Yan Song Yan Shangshu sighed: "To untie the bell, you still need to tie the bell. I will go to the Qin Mansion again tomorrow night."
Everyone tried to dissuade him: "You can't cross the river!"
At this time, a servant hurriedly walked in and reported: "According to the informant outside the gate of the Qin Mansion, Wang Tingxiang, the Minister of Punishment, went to the Qin Mansion!
But then Wang Tingxiang came out angrily and alone, and Qin Dewei was very rude and did not see him off. It seemed that he was not talking about what he said!"
Upon hearing the news, the room fell into silence, and everyone pondered what it meant.
Could it be that Wang Tingxiang also went to "intercede", but was forcefully rejected by Qin Dewei?
If this is the case, Qin Dewei is really crazy.
Wang Tingxiang, like Yan Song, was also among the top ten civil servants. He was also the governor of the capital, and his position was unusual.
First you have lost Yan Song's face, and tonight you have also lost the face of Wang Tingxiang. How domineering you, Qin Dewei, are?
Everyone talked for a long time and saw that it was getting late at night. When they were about to disperse, the servant came in again to report.
"Just now, Wang Yiqi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, also went to the Qin Mansion! A quarter of an hour later, Wang Yiqi came out with a displeased expression, but Qin Dewei still didn't see him sending it out. He must have said something wrong!"
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar again. The Ministry of Husbandry was recognized as the second most popular among the six departments, and its status was still above the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment!
You, Qin Dewei, are very domineering. The reputation of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Punishment is not enough for you to lose. You also lose the face of the Minister of Hubu?
A young man even read three official books, half of the six books! Even a bachelor can't do this! He wouldn't dare to write a storybook like this!
Wait, when thinking about this, everyone always felt that something was wrong.
They are all bureaucrats who hang out in the capital, and they still have a basic sense of politics. Although they can't think clearly at the moment, they have instinctively sensed that there is a problem.
There was a "crash" sound, and suddenly someone grabbed the tea cup and slammed it on the floor.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Yan Shifan, the son of the master, Yan Shangshu.
Looking at the host, Yan Shangshu, his face was also livid at this time.
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!" Yan Shifan shouted angrily.
He seemed to see Qin Dewei standing in front of him, taunting the father and son crazily!
Don't think that a minister of the Ministry of Rites took the initiative to visit me, Qin Dewei, because he has wronged himself!
There is no such thing as humiliating yourself and humiliating yourself!
As long as I, Qin Dewei, think about it, it won't be a problem to call two more ministers over!
If you, the Minister of Rites, are in the Qin Mansion, how big of a reputation can you have?
Who stipulated that I, Qin Dewei, must give a letter to the Minister of Rites?
Stop being so sentimental!
Everyone looked at Yan Shangshu and then at Yan Shifan, and they remembered the recently popular saying: Born in need of beatings, the five elements lack beatings.
Sure enough, it was just a wrong name, not a wrong name.
