Everyone in the Hanlin Academy couldn't figure out where Qin Dewei's pride came from, but they couldn't help but admire Qin Dewei's courage.
Because everyone knows that impeaching a powerful official who is currently on the rise is a very risky matter and is tantamount to swimming against the current.
Moreover, at present, Yan Song is equivalent to the representative of the "new etiquette system". The impeachment of Yan Song can easily be regarded by the emperor as dissatisfaction with the "new etiquette system".
This is the most terrible thing. Aren't you Qin Dewei afraid of being misjudged by the emperor? Tang Zhou, the former left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is still in jail!
But it is said that after Yan Song changed from Yan Shangshu to Yan Ge Lao, he was very proud of himself, as if he had become ten years younger.
Although he also received a lot of strange looks, the overall situation was still good.
Moreover, Mr. Yan Ge believes that these strange looks will gradually fade away as time goes by.
Didn't the Yili sect, who was criticized by thousands of people back then, all end well? Although Huo Tao is still unpopular, he still holds a high position.
In addition, Mr. Yan Ge also understands that the most important thing for him at the moment is to completely end the Great Rites Conference and establish a new ritual system. This is the mission given to him by the emperor...
The four words "proclaiming one's clan and entering the temple" may seem simple, but in fact it is not just a temple ceremony on September 11, but a series of complex rituals before and after.
Before entering the temple, you need to pray to your ancestors, all civil and military officials and wives must go out to enter the temple, restore the ancient ritual of feasting in the Mingtang, and finally pay homage to the Emperor and God. Everything must be carefully prepared.
Emperor Jiajing was very particular about and sensitive to various etiquettes, so he could not ignore them and must handle them well.
That's why Emperor Jiajing asked Yan Song, a bachelor, to concurrently serve as the Minister of Rites, with full authority to mobilize all resources of Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple and other related ritual yamen.
In addition to etiquette matters, the second most important thing for Mr. Yan Ge is to handle the relationship with Xia Yan, the first assistant.
Fortunately, although Xia Yan is unhappy and has lost the closeness he used to have, he still doesn't think he is a threat to Yan Song.
Probably in Xia Yan's mind, he just thought that Yan Song was good at making opinions and his speculation was successful.
Therefore, Yan Song made a clear judgment that as long as he continued to maintain a humble and humble attitude in front of Xia Yan and did not openly fight for power in the cabinet, Xia Yan, who would accept softness rather than toughness, would not be able to be cruel even if he was unhappy.
As long as Xia Shoufu doesn't become ruthless due to his superficial demeanor, he can secretly develop in the cabinet, which is enough for the early stage.
Another thing that made Yan Song feel happy recently was that Master Fan, the minister of Honglu Temple, took the initiative to intervene in the affairs of the Siyi Pavilion and canceled Yan Shifan's mission in Guangdong.
It was the first time for Yan Song that the chief official of the imperial court took the initiative to take care of things without having to say hello himself.
Before, no one was willing to do such a thing because of Qin Dewei's existence.
But now, someone is willing to offend Qin Dewei for him. This is the weight of being a cabinet bachelor!
Yan Song was thinking as he walked into the central hall of Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet office is located.
There was a person from Zhongshushe who was waiting inside. When he saw Mr. Yan Ge coming in, he handed over a memorial.
He also reported: "Mr. Xia Ge ordered this memorial to be distributed to Mr. Yan Ge, and asked Mr. Yan Ge to handle it on his own."
Yan Song was very surprised. Xia Yan was very authoritarian in the cabinet and rarely let other cabinet ministers "take matters into their own hands".
He first took the memorial and opened it to read the signature. After a long list of official titles, he read "Chen Qin Dewei".
After skimming through the text, there were three pages of passionate insults. The person being scolded was none other than myself, Yan Song, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Etiquette!
Yan Ge's blood pressure immediately soared! What did I do wrong that made you, Qin Dewei, write three pages to scold me?
Gu Yan/span> He habitually wants to go to Xia Yan, let Master Xia comment, and then take care of that damn Qin Dewei!
In the past, Yan Song had always done this. When he encountered difficult people or problems, he would go to Xia Yan.
But this time, as soon as Yan Song stood up, he suddenly realized that today is no longer what it used to be, and the old days are gone forever.
Although Xia Yan is in the next room, the physical distance is closer than before, but the psychological distance is further.
Moreover, Yan Song is now also a cabinet bachelor, and he must use bachelor's methods to solve problems!
What is the biggest difference between a bachelor and other ministers? That is the contact with the emperor.
To the north of Wenyuan Pavilion and across the road is Wenhua Hall, where the emperor's daily office is located.
As long as the emperor is in the Wenhua Hall, the cabinet ministers can cross the road at any time to see the emperor on the opposite side. This is a political treatment that no other ministers have!
At this time, Yan Song took the memorial, walked out of the cabinet door, and came to the Wenhua Hall.
Now that Xia Yan is no longer worthy of helping him judge, let Emperor Jiajing judge this!
Emperor Jiajing read the memorial at a glance and asked Yan Song a soul torture: "Why did Qin Dewei accuse you of impeachment?"
Emperor Jiajing also knew that Qin Dewei was a smart man and could never curse people for no reason.
Yan Song said miserably: "The ministers really don't know that they have had no contact with Qin Dewei recently. They are only concentrating on etiquette affairs and do not want to be impeached suddenly."
Although he didn't say it clearly, it was also a crazy hint. Qin Dewei was breaking etiquette by calling me Yan Song!
Emperor Jiajing asked suspiciously: "Is there really no holiday between you and Qin Dewei recently?"
In Emperor Jiajing's impression, although Qin Dewei was young and a bit crazy, he was not really a mad dog, biting people for no apparent reason.
You, Yan Song, had better not be arrogant and arrogant, hide it from me and do whatever you want, and then pretend to be innocent and trick me into helping you.
This emperor is really difficult to serve! Yan Song almost swore to the sky: "I am willing to confront Qin Dewei!"
If it were ordinary people who impeached Yan Song, Emperor Jiajing would not bother to think about it. He must have directly punished the person who was impeached in order to maintain Yan Song's prestige.
The emperor's decision-making resources are precious and should not be wasted casually. Insignificant characters will be simplified.
But Qin Dewei is a special person after all, the emperor's best poetic friend, a living human being with auspiciousness.
Emperor Jiajing remembered that he had not seen Qin Dewei for a long time since the last court visit, and he did not know whether the son had any resentment.
So the emperor issued an edict: "It is said that Qin Dewei will come to see you tomorrow!" Then he ordered Yan Song: "You and Qin Dewei will come to see you tomorrow!"
To be honest, Yan Song felt a little jealous.
The Ming Dynasty paid attention to a smooth flow of speech. There were so many officials in the world who wrote memorials to impeach others, but the emperor never met anyone to question him.
Why did the emperor summon Qin Dewei to ask about the situation in person when he scolded someone for no reason?
If I were not a new celebrity valued by the emperor, would I have been scolded in vain?
Anyway, see you tomorrow! Who wouldn’t slander someone in front of the emperor?
