Chapter five hundred and seventieth sharing joy

Today, the high-level discussions in front of the imperial court ended completely, and ten cabinet ministers and one Qin Dewei walked out of the Wenhua Hall.

Xia Yan, a bachelor, was in a happy mood and felt that he was the biggest winner today.

In fact, for a small country like Annan thousands of miles away, whether it can be conquered or not is just that matter. The personnel issues involved are the key.

The head coach of the Southern Expedition, Mao Bowen, was highly recommended by himself, and Zeng Mian, the Yunnan branch coach, was also his "final decision"!

What does this mean? This means that although Xia Yan currently does not have the title of chief assistant, he has begun to act as one!

Therefore, this meeting may be a milestone! It marks that Xia Yan surpassed his first assistant Li Shi and became the leading figure in the government.

The only hidden worry is that the resentment between younger brother Yan Song and younger friend Qin Dewei seems irreconcilable.

When things happen again in the future, they may hold each other back and become a hidden danger to the "Xia Yan Group".

It's not easy to be the talker. What if one day, Yan Song and Qin Dewei both come to ask me to help deal with each other?

The cabinet is opposite the Wenhua Hall, and the three bachelors went directly back to the cabinet office...

The six ministers, Zuodu Yushi and Qin Dewei will continue to go out, go west through Zuoshun Gate, and then south through Meridian Gate.

At this time, outside the Meridian Gate, there were still some scattered officials who had nothing to do today, waiting to inquire about the high-level discussions.

Then they saw the Seven Ministers of the Ministry and Qin Dewei walking out of the Meridian Gate together.

In fact, for Qin Dewei, today is also a milestone.

After all, this was my first time to participate in the highest-level decision-making, and it also successfully directly affected personnel appointments.

This is a good start. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. Gradually, others will get used to it.

The specific strategy for conquering Annan is a military secret, and everyone participating in the meeting must keep it secret.

But the expedition decision itself and personnel issues were not so confidential, and they were not afraid of being known, so they spread on the same day.

In the Dali Temple in Xicheng City, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Zeng Mian, was reading files at his desk. They were all cases sent from the Ministry of Punishment for review.

In fact, given Zeng Mian's character, he didn't like this kind of writing work. He yearned more to become a general and prime minister and make contributions.

But there is no way. He has served as the border town patrol officer, but his level as governor is not high enough. He must pass the qualifications. This is the rule of the officialdom.

Suddenly, the minister of Dali Temple and the Shaoqing came in together and congratulated Mr. Zeng: "I heard that the imperial court decided to conquer Annan. Mr. Zeng, the right censor of Qiandu, will assist in military affairs and organize the military preparations in Yunnan! I wish Mr. Zeng every success.

Defeat the enemy as soon as possible!"

This news was a bit sudden. Zeng Mian, who was eager to make a contribution, was surprised and confused, and subconsciously thought of a cheap son.

He has also gained experience over the years. Whenever strange things happen here, 99% of the source is Qin Dewei.

The minister of Dali Temple smiled again and said: "In ancient times, Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, and now Master Zeng goes out to fight on behalf of his son. It is indeed a good story!"

Zeng Mian: ""

What the hell is going on an expedition as a substitute? Suddenly I don’t want to go.

Scholar Qin came out of the palace in a very happy mood. He had gained a lot today and he needed to find someone to share his joy with.

After thinking about it, Bachelor Qin did not go home, but turned around and went to the Hanlin Academy, and went directly to the public house of Zhang Chao, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.

After saluting, Qin Dewei said: "Student, I went out of my way just now to discuss matters with the ministers in front of the imperial court."

Teacher Zhang, who had never attended a high-level meeting before the imperial court, shouted unceremoniously: "If you have anything to say, just let it go!"

Qin Dewei continued: "Anyway, the court has decided that I, the Ming Dynasty, will send troops to conquer Annan!

As for the specific strategy, although I planned it, it is confidential and I cannot tell you, teacher."

Teacher Zhang couldn't help but said: "Then why are you coming to the Hanlin Academy? You should go to Wenyuan Pavilion to work."

Qin Dewei sighed: "Teacher, don't be so extreme. I just want to share the joy with the teacher and give him some advice!"

Academician Zhang said in disbelief: "What can you tell me?"

Qin Dewei replied: "We must pay attention to the fact that a division has a name and is used to punish the people and punish crimes. So what is the name?

So, sir, why don’t you quickly take the initiative to draft a memorandum and submit it to His Majesty before others do!”

Academician Zhang clenched his fists. Damn it, his hands were itchy. He really wanted to write.

Qin Dewei took out some pieces of paper, handed them over and said, "I wrote a draft in advance and listed the ten major sins for Annan Mo.

Teacher, just copy it, hurry up and don’t fall behind others.”

Bachelor Zhang: ""

Qin Dewei studied the ink, then put the pen tube into Teacher Zhang's hand, and asked diligently: "Teacher, please copy carefully, I have to leave beforehand."

After leaving Academician Zhang's apartment, Qin Dewei returned to his No. 1 Scholar Hall.

Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji, who were seconded to compile the "Emperor Ming Bao Xun", were writing hard and working hard.

Qin Dewei ordered: "Give me your recently revised draft, and I will take it home for proofreading and copying."

Then he added: "Also to share my joy, I may have to go back to Nanjing!

So for the next three months, you will edit it yourself first, and then deal with the backlog of drafts when I come back."

Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji looked at each other. Could it be that Qin Dewei wanted to take leave and return to his hometown again?

These days, when ministers become official, they are called "begging for bones." What does it mean?

That is to say, entering the officialdom means handing over your body and mind to the emperor's family.

Therefore, except for the special exception of Zhongjinshi, it is really rare for a serving official to take leave multiple times for a long period of time.

You, Qin Dewei, went back to Nanjing last year, and you want to go back again this year, which is a bit excessive.

Qin Dewei smiled and said: "Who said I would take leave to visit relatives? It's just that I can't say it now. You will know it then!"

Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji were both people with good Jinshi rankings and could be selected as Shujishi. They were definitely not stupid, and they immediately guessed what was going on.

I want to go back to Nanjing. Is there anything I can’t say yet?

Combining the time of the rural examination and Qin Dewei's official status as a bachelor's degree student, it seems that the only one pointed to is the southern Zhili rural examination!

Wucao! Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji looked at each other again, almost unable to believe their guesses.

Among those who were in the same year as the previous subject, apart from Sandingjia, the two who did best were the two editors of the Hanlin Academy!

But Qin Dewei has already planned to take the Southern Zhili Provincial Examination. How big is the difference between people?

The northern and southern Zhili provinces are very special and have different systems from other provinces.

As the name suggests, Zhili is directly under the imperial court, and the provincial examinations of the second Zhili are also regarded as affairs directly under the imperial court, not local examinations.

In the 16th year of Jiajing, there was no saying that people from Southern Zhili had to evade and could not serve as examiners in Southern Zhili.

It is similar to the situation where people from Southern Zhili can serve as officials in Nanjing City, because they are officials from the capital, not local officials from Southern Zhili.

Therefore, Qin Dewei is the examiner of Nanzhili. From his official position to his place of origin, there is no problem with his qualifications.

The only rule that hindered Qin Dewei was that "young newcomers are not allowed to serve as examiners." But if the emperor didn't care, this rule would be just a decoration.

According to the historical trajectory, a few years later, a Hanlin from Changzhou presided over the Southern Zhili Township Examination and admitted dozens of Changzhou scholars, which immediately aroused public outrage.

Then the Ming Dynasty officially stipulated that people from Southern Zhili were prohibited from serving as examiners of the Southern Zhili Township Examination.

Qin Dewei, who lived in the 16th year of Jiajing, could still take advantage of this loophole!
