After Huo Tao, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhang Rong, the British Duke, finished speaking, no one spoke.
The main reason is that others have nothing to say, and it is difficult to say accurately.
Whether Qin Dewei was arrogant and domineering was not important. What was important was whether Emperor Jiajing felt offended.
As the saying goes, the power of God is unpredictable, who can know what Emperor Jiajing was thinking at this time?
The emperor didn't even make a statement, and everyone didn't dare to guess.
Even if he wanted to help Qin Dewei speak to "his own people", he found it difficult to open his mouth at this moment.
Because others’ accusations against Qin Dewei for being arrogant and favored, even our own people feel that they are quite right.
At the same time, some worries arose, because it involved the sensitive mentality of the emperor, which was very difficult to answer.
Even Qin Dewei, who was good at sophistry, would be hard to please. If he accidentally touched any chord in the emperor's heart, he would be doomed...
Anyway, Qin Dewei could only defend himself now. He stood up, looked at Zhang Rong a few more times, and sighed inwardly.
To be honest, for him, Zhang Rong, an unknown opponent in history, is the most annoying person.
Because there is no understanding at all, the traveler's golden finger of information asymmetry is missing by more than half.
But then again, being a British Duke in the Ming Dynasty and still being unknown shows that he is a pure waste, and a mediocre waste without any characteristics.
Is this also another kind of reverse information?
In front of everyone's attention, Qin Dewei told Emperor Jiajing: "No one is perfect, no one is perfect, and I do have some shortcomings of relying on talent and arrogance.
Fortunately, Your Majesty is tolerant and never dislikes his ministers for being arrogant and overstepping the rules. Instead, he is very kind to his ministers!"
After hearing the words "Your Majesty is lenient", the ministers thought about it silently in their hearts, and it seemed that Academician Qin was not speaking ironically.
If Emperor Jiajing can be called "lenient", then Emperor Zhengde can be called "diligent"!
As for Qin Dewei's arrogant claim to be "arrogant because of his talent", does he have any talent?
No one disputes this. No matter how much people hate Qin Dewei, they can't deny Qin Dewei's vast talents, even though he doesn't delve into the classics very much.
This is the feeling I have to admit, it’s so fucked up.
So the ministers couldn't help complaining in their hearts while hearing Qin Dewei continue to play:
"It's a pity that His Majesty's love for talents is nothing but favor in the eyes of these mediocre people. It's pity and laughable at the same time!"
Wucao! Everyone felt regretful when they heard this, and then let Qin Dewei find an angle to make excuses!
Just now Zhang Rong secretly compared Qin Dewei to a favored eunuch and a distinguished relative.
But according to Qin Dewei's sophistry, His Majesty loves him and values his talents, which is not the same thing as doting on eunuchs and relatives!
As for what kind of statement the Emperor Jiajing on the throne likes to hear, it goes without saying. He definitely likes to be praised as a "talent-loving".
Qin Dewei's voice suddenly became louder, and anyone familiar with Qin Dewei could feel that murderous intent was present.
"These mediocre people cannot understand what talent is, nor can they understand His Majesty's desire to seek talents and love talents.
Perhaps in their eyes, they don’t think that His Majesty is a wise king who can be close to talents and be tolerant to talents."
Sure enough, there is murderous intent! Everyone in the Wenhua Palace looked at the British Duke Zhang Rong, the clown turned out to be you!
You, Zhang Rong, have confused the concept! You actually misunderstood His Majesty’s love for talents as an indiscriminate favor!
You equate Emperor Jiajing with Emperor Zhengde who favored eunuchs, and Emperor Hongzhi who indulged his relatives!
Zhang Rong's face instantly turned pale, almost pale.
He just wasn't convinced by Qin Dewei's treatment, so he just flirted with the emperor!
As long as it can arouse the emperor's suspicion of Qin Dewei, it will be considered a success! Why does it seem that he is being suspected now?
Is it possible that the government's family legacy, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, must be cut off in one's own hands?
Zhang Rong looked around in panic, but no one stood up to help Zhang Rong, just like no one helped Qin Dewei just now.
The power of God is really unpredictable, and there are all kinds of heart-wrenching opinions on both sides, so others dare not be careless.
So in the Wenhua Palace, only Qin Dewei continued to beep:
"British Duke Zhang Rong is just speaking for Qiu Luan. He speaks so unscrupulously. In essence, he is a jealous minister.
In fact, this is human nature and is not a big mistake. However, I ask Your Majesty to remember the merits of the Zhang family ancestors and forgive Zhang Rong for his blunder."
Everyone just wants to ask, why can you, Qin Dewei, be so confident even if you beat him up with a rake?
At this moment, a warrior suddenly rushed out and said to the court: "Your Majesty! Qin Dewei deliberately avoided the important and took the easy, trying to fool Your Majesty and get through. Your Majesty must not ignore it!"
When everyone looked, it turned out that it was Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was as young as Zhang Rong, the British Duke. He was only twenty-two years old this year after he was crowned the Duke last year.
It's normal to think about it. It's not surprising that young people are impulsive.
Qin Dewei obviously didn't take honors seriously. As a top honorary like the Duke, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he probably had some sense of loyalty.
Speaking of which, the three major princes in the capital are all quite young nowadays. Except for Zhang Rong, the British prince, Zhu Xizhong, the Cheng prince, Xu Yande, the other Ding prince, is only twenty-four years old.
Otherwise, Wu Dinghou Guo Xun would not have become the first military minister so smoothly in the past few years.
This year, Xianning Hou Qiu Luan will not try to copy Guo Xun's success and become the "big brother who takes the lead."
But Zhu Xizhong said again: "It is a fact that His Majesty loves talents, but it is also a fact that Qin Dewei relied on favor and acted domineeringly! Qin Dewei avoided talking about it!"
It makes sense, no wonder I dare to stand up and speak.
Qin Dewei replied again: "I just said that I have a flaw, which is that I am arrogant because of my talent.
Therefore, when I stand in the world and treat people and things, I rely on my talents and knowledge, not your majesty's favor.
Some mediocre and incompetent people cannot understand the habits of talented people, so they can only make random guesses, just like a night wanderer trying to increase his laughter."
Another "can't understand"! Some people in the palace wanted to laugh. Qin Dewei really felt like he was using his "talent" to bully others.
The young Duke Cheng was a little impatient and tried to use his strategy to incite the crowd.
"Put aside your talent and learning, isn't it true that you, Qin Dewei, have been disrespectful and rude to many of the ministers in the DPRK?
I heard that you, Qin Dewei, never greet the princes with great courtesy, and you never dismount your horse to avoid the road when you meet them on the road. Your words are harsh and domineering like this!"
Qin Dewei casually retorted to Duke Cheng Guo: "Back then, Emperor Taizu Gao made a policy of using small things to control big things to boost morale and encourage humble officials not to be submissive vassals of important ministers!
Although my behavior is disrespectful, I still have great integrity in my heart. You probably still can't understand this kind of integrity."
This sentence is very arrogant about our top Qingliu affairs, you noble man, shut up!
Huo Tao secretly cursed a few times, these young princes are really all pig teammates, they are of no use at all, and they can't blame Qin Dewei for being vain.
Since there was no hope at all, he didn't care. He played again: "As for Qiu Luan's surrender and the fight with Qin Dewei, please ask His Majesty's Holy Judgment."
If you can beep again, you, Qin Dewei, are still fighting in the street and disrupting the peace and order of the capital!
