It was not that Qin Dewei had never seen Emperor Jiajing get angry before, but this was the first time that Emperor Jiajing got really angry at him for losing his temper like this.
Of course Emperor Jiajing was angry. There is only one topic for discussion today, which is whether he supports the proclaimed emperor and his entry into the temple!
The key point is "support or not", not "proclaim one's clan and enter the temple"!
And Yan Song and Qin Dewei were talking about other things, getting more and more off-topic! It seemed like they were cooperating with each other and trying to get things over together!
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but continue to curse: "You two are colluding, colluding, and joining forces to fool the emperor. Is this how you behave like a minister?"
Qin Dewei was shocked, Your Majesty, how could you taint someone's innocence like this? Who joined forces with Yan Song?
Your Majesty, your words and deeds must be recorded in daily notes and records. What you say must be responsible for history!
The other courtiers found it inconceivable that based on the relationship between Qin Dewei and the Yan family, how could they possibly collude?
The two people's performance just now was obviously blaming each other, so why did they join forces?
It can only be said that the perspective of looking at the problem is different and the subjective feelings are also different.
Emperor Jiajing originally thought that after more than ten years of "repairs", he was now the voice of authority in the court, and today's motion would definitely pass smoothly.
I don’t ask for everyone’s support, just a few people stand up and express their agreement and that’s it. It doesn’t matter if the others don’t speak, they can just act as a backdrop.
But today, the ministers were collectively indifferent, and the only two who were pushed out to speak still blamed each other and refused to take "responsibility." This situation gave a blow to Emperor Jiajing, who thought he had "everything under control."
Emperor Jiajing became very angry on the spot. He vented his emotions and talked a little too much, and he snarled at a certain "Jiajing man":
"I succeeded to the throne from my clan, and those who came with the name Shi should use it as my clan name. Now, Qin Dewei, an ignorant boy like you, is giving it to the imperial examination. Where do you want to put me, and where do you want to make me feel at ease?"
Damn it! The ministers were in an uproar. Is the emperor so angry? He actually spoke so unscrupulously that he gave himself a temple title?
The meaning of the sentence "Whoever comes with the word Shi should be used as a clan name" obviously means: according to the etiquette, the name of the temple must be used by Zhu Houcong, the successor of my branch, after the death of my Tama, the temple name should be Shizong!
Is it okay to discuss your own death?
Temple names are the same as posthumous names. They are given by descendants to ancestors. How can there be any reason to decide a temple name for yourself while you are still alive?
Qin Dewei was also completely confused. What is all this?
No wonder many people have the four words "unpredictable joy and anger" to Jiajing. Today I have a further understanding of it.
When the temple name Sejong is recorded in the history books in the future, will it be said that he proposed it during the lifetime of Emperor Jiajing?
Only Yan Song, who was being held accountable by the emperor together with Qin Dewei, felt jealous and lucky at the same time.
What was jealous was that even if the emperor wanted to scold someone, he would always think of Qin Dewei first! Fortunately, the firepower was concentrated on Qin Dewei first, saving a lot on his own side.
Suddenly, he heard Qin Dewei apologize, and then quickly said: "Your Majesty's teachings are very good, I am enlightened!
I have now woken up to the fact that Yan Song’s suggestion of building a new temple is actually absurd and disrespectful, and he is deceiving the emperor!"
Yan Song was immediately furious. When he was scolded by the emperor, you, Qin Dewei, did not forget to get involved! You are really a traitor!
He then heard Qin Dewei continue to say: "The ancestors and saints gathered together, but only the Emperor Xian and the God Lord were allowed to live in another place. The human relationship was unbearable and the times were not in harmony. How could His Majesty be left without the courtesy of a relative? This shows Yan Song's cruelty!"
Emperor Jiajing originally wanted to scold Yan Song a few times, but unexpectedly, Qin Dewei helped him.
Moreover, the angle of the scolding was very good. He spoke his true feelings and demonstrated his righteousness of "filial piety", so Emperor Jiajing listened to Qin Dewei's scolding.
Finally, Qin Dewei said: "If Yan Song takes care of himself and finds his way back after getting lost, it is still a good thing!"
The ministers just listened and didn't think too much.
But when I heard this, I suddenly felt that the familiar routine was coming again, and the blame was thrown into Yan Song's hands again!
At first, Qin Dewei really seemed to be just helping the emperor to vent his anger. He scolded Yan Song and labeled him as "cruelly abusing the emperor's god and hindering the emperor from fulfilling his filial piety."
What next? Then it’s time for Yan Song to express his stance! And how else can Yan Song express his stance?
Yan Song was slightly stunned. The longest road he had ever walked in his life was Qin Dewei's routine!
"Yan Song! What else do you want to say?" Emperor Jiajing asked calmly from the throne. This might be an opportunity to force the key position of Minister of Rites to support him...
Qin Dewei calmed down again and waited for the historic moment.
Go, Master Yan! As a historical traitor, please start your performance! Keep moving forward, don’t look both ways!
"Professing the clan and entering the temple" is the starting point of your career as a powerful traitor. Otherwise, how could you win the favor of Emperor Jiajing, how could you become a bachelor and become the chief minister?
Villain and traitorous minister, this is your destiny, Yan Song, and your historical mission, don’t run away from it anymore!
Under everyone's gaze, Yan Song kowtowed slowly, then apologized and said: "I didn't think well and thought about building another temple dedicated to the emperor. I won't give up even if I die!"
As for the matter of dedicating the emperor's ancestral temple, I dare not discuss it today! Let me think again!"
Because they had been trained together just now, Qin Dewei, who was very close to Yan Song, was extremely shocked! He was stunned!
Faced with the current high pressure, Yan Song actually still refused to clearly express his support for "proclaiming his ancestry and entering the temple"!
Is this still Yan Song? Is this still the traitorous official in history who flattered the emperor without any bottom line?
Qin Dewei, a time traveler, felt a little confused. It shouldn't be like this. Yan Song should obviously support "proclaiming his clan and entering the temple". What went wrong?
No matter what others thought, Emperor Jiajing was completely angered and shouted unreasonably: "Yan Song has no courtesy! Dismissal!"
"Your Majesty!" Academician Xia Yan hurriedly came out, "Yan Song's crime is not that serious! His intention was not bad, it was an honest mistake."
Several more important ministers agreed and came forward to advise.
Emperor Jiajing's face was gloomy and uncertain, but after a moment he changed his tune and said: "I will fine you one year's salary, be demoted to one rank, and order you to spend one month in isolation!"
Qin Dewei looked at Yan Song in a daze. For a moment, he couldn't tell the difference between loyalty and treachery. Could it be that Yan Song was forced by him to take the loyal and straight route?
If this is the butterfly effect, then it may be the biggest change in the course of history so far.
Wait! Qin Dewei thought of another question. Even when he looked at Yan Song, he felt that he looked pretty, but what about others?
What is even more worrying is, what do others think of me? Compared with Yan Song, am I close to a traitor?
The most terrible thing is, does Emperor Jiajing think that he is more suitable to be a traitor than Yan Song?
This horse-riding person, between myself and Yan Song, who has the upper hand today?
At this time, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Palace was extremely tense. The ministers were afraid of irritating the emperor and did not dare to speak. Qin Dewei also did not dare to speak.
He had never expected that the situation would turn out like this.
Emperor Jiajing was also a little reluctant to step down, feeling that the day might not end well. He did not dare to continue questioning without new preparations.
If the crowd's emotions are intensified and a few people who are not afraid of death emerge and try their best to remonstrate on the spot, then it will be difficult for him as the emperor to handle it.
Or would it be better to wait until the first assistant Li Shi dies of illness and the cabinet is really vacant, and then start again?
When everyone was in trouble, the second-ranking figure in the eunuch system, the eunuch Bingbi and the admiral of Dongchang Qin Fushi, stepped out from the shadows in a corner.
And he said fiercely to Emperor Jiajing: "I have just been in charge of the palace, and I have found Qin Dewei guilty of three major crimes! I am here to impeach him!"
Everyone: ""
Well, although this interruption is very abrupt, it is better than nothing.
After receiving permission from Emperor Jiajing, the Qin eunuch continued: "First, Qin Dewei repeatedly talks nonsense and has no merit. This is to disrupt the court proceedings!
Secondly, Qin Dewei acted without permission and said something without permission. This is the crime of being arrogant!
Thirdly, Qin Dewei once stole a glance and looked up at you, which was outrageous and rude!"
Damn it! Qin Dewei couldn't help but be extremely horrified. Could it be that this eunuch Qin had the entire audience focused on just staring at him? Could it be that he was Yan Song's ally today?
The ministers were also speechless. Eunuch Qin, you are just picking on a bone, almost making something out of nothing.
If you work harder at making it up, you may be able to catch up to the level of "unfounded".
After hearing this, Emperor Jiajing made a little judgment and guessed that Eunuch Qin probably had two purposes.
The first is to help himself vent his anger. Qin Dewei's performance today really made him very dissatisfied. Just now he only cared about Yan Song and temporarily let go of Qin Dewei.
The second is to use Qin Dewei, a famous person, to kill chickens and monkeys and give the ministers a warning.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing glanced at Qin Dewei.
After confirming his eyes, this person looked really unpleasant today, so Emperor Jiajing issued an edict: "Put Qin Dewei out with a forty imperial staff as a warning to others!"
As a Taoist, what matters is the understanding of one thought! The obsession in the heart cannot be resolved without fighting.
Qin Dewei: ""
Eunuch Qin urged: "Qin Dewei, why don't you come forward to thank me?"
The ministers looked at each other, but no one had the nerve to come out and ask for mercy.
They all also understood that this was the emperor using Qin Dewei to vent his anger and resentment that things did not go well today.
As the saying goes, when Yu the Great controlled floods, it was better to dredge them up than to block them. It was good and good.
Everyone was in awe as they watched the Imperial Guard Officer escorting Bachelor Qin out of the palace.
At first, I really didn’t expect that the duo of Yan Shangshu and Qin Xueshi would end up hurting both sides and being severely damaged.
The fate of people in the temple is indeed unpredictable.
What makes all the ministers even more worried is that today is not the end. Emperor Jiajing is a stubborn person who will not give up until he reaches his goal, and will never give up easily.
It can be said that Yan Song and Qin Dewei were able to block Emperor Jiajing's indecent request by mistake today. What about next time?
Forget it, let’s not think about it so much for now, and hurry up to the Meridian Gate to watch the execution. If you get there late, you won’t get a good seat.
No, this was to supervise the execution and protect his colleagues from being brutally beaten to death by factory guards.
Although the forty strokes are not as many as the eighty strokes, they are not as pleasant either.
