Chapter six hundred and seventy third important ministers and famous places
It was a clear morning with a nice wind and a beautiful sun, which was very suitable for traveling. If we don’t go out, once midsummer arrives, this year’s spring outing season in the capital will be completely over.
Qin Zhongtang stood in the hall of his house with his head held high, arranging his clothes and waiting for his servant to bring his horse.
Brother Xu Shian, who was temporarily living in the Qin Mansion, yawned and came out, stood at the foot of the steps and asked: "Would you like to play together today? I heard that this season, many ladies and ladies will go to Haidian, the western suburbs!"
Qin Dewei glanced at Xu Laosan, revealed his ivory waistband that symbolized his status, and said contemptuously: "Now I am different from idlers like you. The center has to live without me for a day, so I have to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to enter Zhizhi every day.
Do you want to play with you during your free time?"
Xu Shi'an retorted: "I heard someone say that if you don't provide maintenance in your position, you will be just like my housekeeper!
No matter what content the ghostwriter writes, doesn't he always follow the instructions of the master of the family? Is it possible that a retainer can still make his own decisions?
So it seems like you are guarding Wenyuan Pavilion, and you can be called Uncle Qin, the royal concierge!"
It had been a long, long time since anyone had dared to stab someone in the face like this. Qin Dewei turned red with anger and argued: "The Cao Zhao can't be regarded as a ghostwriter... Can the Cao Zhao... the matter of Wenyuan Pavilion be regarded as a ghostwriter?"
There are words that are difficult to understand one after another, such as "Zheng Zhi is not a concierge", "Zhongtang" and so on.
Xu Laosan was confused. The two of them had been hurting each other a lot. How could Qin Zhongtang be defeated by just saying "Uncle Qin, the concierge"?
Then two horses came, one of which belonged to Qin Dewei and the other to Mrs. Li.
Miss Li, dressed in red, warmly invited: "Mr. Qin! Let's go horse riding in the countryside together today!"
Although Qin Dewei was moved, he still let out a long sigh, "Since entering the palace, I have been working very hard, and it is difficult to enjoy the joy of forest and spring!"
Mrs. Li didn't know how serious she was, so she just asked: "Go, or not?"
Qin Dewei thought for a while and replied: "It will take a few days! It will only take a few days to go to Wenyuan Pavilion, so it is not good to miss work at will."
Once you are familiar with the situation, you may be able to squeeze out half a day to indulge, but it is still not easy to find a full day. After all, Wenyuan Pavilion has to operate every day, and it can't do it without me."
Xu Laosan curled his lips. He was really a fake brother of Zhihu. He would rather squeeze in time to go out with his little lover than agree to go out with him.
After appeasing his lover and brother, Qin Dewei was about to walk out when suddenly the concierge Zhang San hurriedly came to the vestibule with someone.
Zhang San, like Wang Da, Ma Er, and Zhao Si, are all old men who have followed Qin Dewei for many years. Now they are performing their respective duties, serving as chief guard, attendant, concierge, and steward respectively. They all have a bright future.
Therefore, Zhang San is not an ignorant person. He just brought people over without informing him. It was obvious that something happened.
Sure enough, they were getting closer. Zhang San reported to Qin Dewei: "This is the entourage of Mr. Sang, the General Secretary. He said he came to report something urgent."
Mr. Sang, the General Secretary, was the original senior censor Sanqiao. He came from Jiangdu County like Zeng's father, and he was a Jinshi in the same year. Qin Dewei had to call him Uncle Shi when he met him.
At first, Yushi Sang offended Huo Tao, the Yushi of the Left Capital, for Qin Dewei's sake. Later, Qin Dewei found a way to transfer him to the General Affairs Department as the Left Councilor, which was considered a key position.
Anyone who knows the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty knows that the Department of General Affairs is responsible for collecting memorials and petitions.
After the attendant of Mr. Sang saluted, he quickly reported: "My master checked the memorials this morning and found that there were more than a dozen letters impeaching and criticizing Mr. Qin, so he specially asked me to call the police!"
After suddenly hearing this information, Qin Dewei did not panic and asked curiously: "What's going on?"
The attendant then replied: "Most of the memorials were written by Yu Shi and Gui Shizhong. Some said that Mr. Qin was frivolous and acted inappropriately, so he was not suitable to enter Wenyuan Pavilion.
Some say that Mr. Qin is a young man who suddenly becomes rich and does not know the importance, so how can he be on duty at the center? Others say that he is constantly promoted to high positions with favor and selects key people based on distance, which is not a blessing to the country."
Next to him, Xu Laosan nodded frequently and commented: "It all makes sense. It seems that besides me, there are many people who know Brother Qin very well."
Qin Dewei scolded: "What do you, a small family of a thousand people, know?"
Then he looked around and said smugly: "This is clearly the way in which Yanguan organized an organized attack on the prime minister and ministers. I don't want Qin Zhongtang to have to endure such suffering today.
It seems that I, Qin Zhongtang, have a certain prominent position in the court as an important official and famous official."
Xu Laosan: ""
Although this "satisfaction" seems weird, I have to admit that Qin Zhongtang's fallacy seems to have some truth.
Even if an ordinary official wants to be besieged like this, he doesn't deserve it. Generally, he is only given the treatment of a second-rank official or above who is in full service.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, smooth communication means "political correctness". The ancestral motto of Emperor Taizu Gao encouraged the censors and officials to control the big with the small.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for officials to besiege ministers. Even the chief minister often suffers from this.
In turn, the ministers and ministers tried to find ways to control the officials, and the result became more and more intense. In the later period, the officials became a sharp tool in party struggle.
Qin Dewei, who had just been promoted to an important minister, stroked his newly grown beard and struck a pose that made me think twice.
Everyone became quiet and did not dare to disturb Qin Zhongtang's thinking.
No matter who encounters this kind of thing, he needs to think twice. First, think about who is behind the scenes, secondly, what is the purpose of the other party, and thirdly, think about how to resolve it on your own side.
He also heard Qin Dewei thinking and saying: "According to the court rules, after a famous court official like me is impeached by many people, he should first stop working and go home to deal with the crime?
In that case, I don’t have to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to enter the imperial examination today! Otherwise, others will laugh at me for my lack of experience and my lack of experience as an important minister."
Everyone was speechless. Mr. Qin, did you think twice before thinking about this?
But then Xu Laosan and Mrs. Li raised their hands at the same time and said in unison: "Then you can go on an outing with me!"
It's not that they are ignorant, it's mainly because Qin Dewei is calm and composed, so they feel that being impeached is not a big deal. This is the confidence in Qin Dewei accumulated over the years.
Besides, even if Qin Dewei loses the middle hall, he will still be Bachelor Qin, and the sky will not fall.
Qin Dewei looked left and right, walked decisively to Mrs. Li, and said intimately: "Let's get on the horse! Let's go to Yongding River Village and I'll show you something good!"
Miss Li was smiling and very proud. If she couldn't compete with a man like Xu Laosan, then she would start to doubt her own feminine charm.
Mr. Sang's entourage from the General Administration Department quickly shouted: "Mr. Qin, wait! According to the rules, you have to write a letter of apology!"
There are two stipulated steps after a big shot is impeached, one is to thank guests behind closed doors, and the other is to apologize in public, both of which are indispensable.
Qin Dewei turned his head and shouted to the outer study room next to the hall: "Lao Gui! Write an apology note for me, and then let Uncle Sang's family take it away!"
Gui Youguang, who had volunteered to stay in the Qin Mansion as a retainer in the 16th year of Jiajing's rural examination in Nanzhili, walked out of the study room slowly.
Then he saluted Qin Zhongtang and said: "Thanks to the teacher's wrongful love, I am deeply impressed by the student's love. Recently, I have gradually become unable to bear the teacher's kindness, and I have become homesick day by day. Now I want to say goodbye and go back."
Qin Dewei couldn't help being shocked: "What? Do you really want to leave?"
Gui Youguang bravely gritted his teeth and replied, "That's what I really mean!"
Qin Dewei was a little anxious, took a few steps forward and asked, "Why is this? Why are you unhappy?"
If you Gui Youguang leaves, who will write Qingci in the future?
Gui Youguang fell to his knees and kowtowed: "Teacher! I don't want to write Qing Ci!"
Then Qin Dewei pressed Gui Youguang's shoulder and said diligently: "Let's go! Today, as my teacher, I will accompany you to the West Courtyard Alley to relax, or to the East Jiaofangsi Headquarters Alley!
If you dislike being bored in the city, you can ask a few beauties to accompany you to Haidian! All the fine wine and food will be sent to you!"
Then Qin Dewei winked at Xu Shian again, please help!
Xu Laosan and Brother Qin have had a tacit understanding for many years. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Gui Youguang, forcefully pulled him up, and then dragged him out, "Let's go, Lao Xu, I will accompany you. I won't come back until you have fun!"
"
Looking at the three people disappearing at the door, Miss Li was left speechless and dumbfounded. She really couldn't compete with a man!
Mr. Sang's family was also extremely speechless. It was rumored in the world that Qin Dewei's ideas were so clear that ordinary people could not match them. Today, when we saw him, he certainly lived up to his reputation.
A matter as big as being besieged by Yan Guan is not as important as a member of the family wanting to leave?
