Qin Dewei originally thought of moving to the Apparition Palace the next day. But there were so many people visiting that it was difficult to get out, so he could only stay at home.
In fact, due to political sensitivity, no officials came in person. Instead, they sent their staff and their children as representatives.
The main reason is that everyone knows very well that the matter is not over yet. Everyone has no idea about the future direction, so they want to find out the trend from the people in the limelight.
However, it was not convenient for Qin Dewei to meet guests in large numbers. Except for a few close people, all other visitors were blocked at the gate.
At this time, Zeng's father-in-law was already on an expedition to the south, and there was no one in the house who could help with the reception of the guests.
So Gui Youguang, who was detained by Teacher Qin to further study Qingci, was taken out and responsible for guarding the gate to receive...
Then one day later, Qin Dewei hurriedly went to Xianling Palace to live in seclusion to recuperate.
Even so, it is not completely pure. There are still powerful people who can harass Qin Dewei, such as Wu Chun, the son-in-law of Xia Yan, a great scholar.
Wu Chung had no friendship with Qin Dewei, so it was obvious that he was here for Xia Yan this time.
Now that Master Xia's status is equivalent to that of acting chief minister, important matters in the court cannot be avoided. He cannot always pretend to be deaf and dumb when the emperor discusses rituals.
Wu Chung said to Qin Dewei very seriously: "Xia Ge Lao asked me to send a message that the emperor seems to be determined. How should we courtiers seek dignity?"
As a qualified politician, Qin Dewei certainly understands the hint in this sentence.
To put it bluntly, the emperor insists on messing around like this. We ministers are no longer as angry as more than 200 people cried collectively in the past. In the end, we probably won’t be able to stop it, but how can we kneel gracefully without losing dignity?
Qin Dewei can only say that those who can get to the position of chief assistant must have some skills.
In terms of the general direction, Master Xia's judgment was very accurate and he was very clear-headed. He had already predicted that he would not be able to stop Emperor Jiajing this time.
Therefore, Academician Xia simply stopped asking how to stop the emperor, and only asked how to save the face of his "quasi-chief assistant".
Qin Dewei thought for a while and made a conscientious suggestion: "Actually, the key node in the future of this matter lies with Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. I have two strategies.
The best thing to do is to let Yan Song quote scriptures to support the entry of the clan into the temple when discussing the matter again, thus first suffering the infamy and accusations.
At this time, the Emperor and the Minister of Rites reached an agreement, and Mr. Xia Ge had no choice but to comply."
In this way, in the eyes of others, it was Yan Song who disrupted the imperial court, and Academician Xia was innocent, and the price paid was Yan Song's reputation.
Wu Chun just wrote it down silently without expressing his position, and then asked: "What should I do next?"
Qin Dewei continued to suggest: "The next best thing is for Mr. Xia Ge to be speechless to His Majesty, but to ask Yan Song to speak first.
After that, the Minister of Rites, Yan Shangshu, still objected to the emperor's entry into the temple. It would be best to have a few more people cooperate with him.
This will definitely offend His Majesty, and then Mr. Xia Ge will come out to protect Yan Song and others.
In order to save these loyal people, Mr. Xia Ge had no choice but to accept His Majesty's unreasonable request."
The advantage of doing this is that Xia Yan intervenes and plays a red face, but the price paid is Yan Song's future, and it is basically impossible to join the cabinet.
Both options have their own pros and cons. This is Qin Dewei's last chance for Xia Yan.
After Wu Chung heard Qin Dewei's opinion, he left in a hurry. He was just an errand messenger and had no decision-making power.
Not only Qin Dewei's side, but also many people from Yan Song's house were there.
After all, in the eyes of most people, Yan Song and Qin Dewei performed similarly this time, and one cannot be unfair to the other.
Gu Wei/span>And like Qin Dewei, Yan Song also refused to see outsiders, and everyone understood this very well.
At this time, if Qin Dewei and Yan Song were too ostentatious, it would be like putting eye drops on the emperor.
Only the most trusted people like Zhao Wenhua could see Yan Song who was punished to "close up and reflect on his mistakes."
At this time, Zhao Wenhua felt a little panicked, because the situation did not develop as expected.
The original expectation of "selling oneself for glory" did not come true at all, and the adoptive father, Yan Shangshu, did the opposite. There was an awkward feeling that "you can't sell even if you sell yourself".
In other words, I originally wanted to be a villain, but accidentally became a positive character.
Yan Song himself was very calm and scolded Zhao Wenhua: "Why are you panicking? The situation is still under control!"
Zhao Wenhua curled his lips. Who knows if the adoptive father is bragging or telling the truth?
Yan Song was helpless, this adopted son still looked at the problem too superficially and had no dialectics at all.
Hasn't he ever thought about whether a decent and honest person sells his body for a higher price, or a person who usually has no independent opinion sells his body for a higher price?
At this time, Wu Chun, the son-in-law of Mr. Xia Ge, also came to see Yan Song.
Mr. Xia Ge's message to Qin Dewei was quite polite, with a tone of consultation, but to Yan Song, it was just an order.
I only heard Wu Chun say: "When there is another court meeting, if Mr. Xia Ge is the first to express his position, there will be no room for maneuver at all, so it is not easy to take the lead in saying anything, but he will name the eldest uncle to speak.
Then I ask you, Uncle Zong, to argue with His Majesty and do not give in easily!"
Yan Song listened with an expressionless face. His hands were hidden in his sleeves and clenched tightly into fists. His nails were embedded in his palms and he was not aware of the pain.
Wu Chung added: "Of course, Uncle Zong, there is no need to worry, Mr. Xia Ge will try his best to excuse you, and finally give in to the emperor together.
At that time, the emperor will get what he wants, and he will not be harsh on the great uncle."
Yan Song nodded and said, "I understand."
He didn't ask, what would he do if he angered the emperor and Xia Yan failed to exonerate him?
After Wu Chung left, Zhao Wenhua became anxious again, "Father, how can you agree? This is clearly Xia Yan using you as a pawn. You have no benefit except gaining a useless reputation!"
Yan Song asked with a sarcastic look: "What if I don't agree? He is a bachelor who is about to become the chief minister, and I am the Minister of Rites who was promoted by him.
He is the overall situation, and according to official ethics, I should listen to him for the sake of the overall situation."
Zhao Wenhua said dissatisfied: "Father, do you really think so?"
Yan Song waved his hand: "Stay back! It's not your turn to judge what I think!"
Before Zhao Wenhua left, he thought of something again and asked: "Don't you consider Qin Dewei's influence?"
Yan Song judged and said: "Qin Dewei has already used the imperial staff to recuperate and withdraw from the game. He is not stupid enough to wade into muddy waters again. There is no need to consider him for the time being."
Zhao Wenhua said hesitantly: "With Qin Dewei's character, he would not be so honest."
Yan Song said confidently: "I couldn't see Qin Dewei's thoughts clearly at first, and I didn't know what he was thinking, so I still wanted to test and exploit him, but now I understand.
If Qin Dewei really wanted to make a profit from discussing rituals, the last court meeting would not have ended with the imperial cane, which is enough to show that he does not want to participate in discussing rituals."
