Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth good luck trick people
Of course, Ma Er came to the Ningshao Guild Hall not to cause trouble, but to save face for Xu Wenchang on the orders of Qin Dewei.
Although Ma Er doesn't quite understand why Mr. Qin values Xu Wenchang so much, in his eyes, Xu Wenchang's emotional intelligence is not very good, and he can't see any improvement in other aspects.
But since it was given by the master, Ma Er could only do it with his heart.
Of course, there is knowledge in how to handle things. Just now Ma Er was following behind and deliberately came in a little late.
He first waited for Xu Wenchang to be humiliated, and then Ma Er came forward to help Xu Wenchang and gave Manager Wu of the Ningshao Guild Hall a lesson, so that he could receive the greatest gratitude. To be honest, it was all a routine.
But Ma Er didn't expect that for such a simple task, when he was enjoying pretending to be a slap in the face, he actually bumped into Master Qin's other teacher, He Ao.
In this era, when it comes to the teacher-student relationship, there are also three, six or nine levels. The rule is that the top teacher is better than the professional teacher, and the big teacher is better than the small teacher.
As for why this is the case, it is decided based on the size of the benefits. When studying for the imperial examination becomes a utilitarian, the relationship between teachers and students will naturally change accordingly.
Compared with the tutors in the provincial examination and the general examination, the Taoist tutors responsible for recruiting scholars can only be regarded as small tutors, but no matter how small the tutor is, they are still teachers and are still included in human relations.
Therefore, after Ma Er recognized that the other party was He Ao, his master's junior master, he immediately did not dare to make any mistakes. He put away his previous domineering appearance and stood with his hands down like a slave.
Then he asked politely and respectfully: "Why is Mr. He here?"
He Ao ignored Ma Er, walked directly to Xu Wenchang, and said kindly and kindly: "I didn't expect that we in Shanyin would have such young talents. It's just that I neglected to support the underachievers."
Xu Wenchang really didn't know He Ao, so he could only look at him in confusion. Who are you? Are we familiar? You sound like a fellow from Shanyin County?
I encountered obstacles everywhere in my hometown, Shanyin, and couldn't even become a scholar, but no one regarded me as a "talent".
Even when he came to the capital and temporarily stayed in the guild hall, no one took him seriously.
How come in the blink of an eye, this man who seems to be a big shot from the same hometown praises himself as a "talent"?
Maybe this is fate playing tricks on people, right?
Ma Er was worried that Xu Wenchang, who did not have enough emotional intelligence, would be rude, so he stood beside He Ao and introduced him in a low voice: "This is Mr. He, with the word "ao", he is also my master's junior master."
After hearing this name, Xu Wenchang suddenly realized.
He Ao served in the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, and his official career was not bad. He was a well-known figure in his hometown of Shanyin County and even Shaoxing Prefecture.
Xu Wenchang had been trying to get into Shilin. Naturally, he had heard of He Ao's name, so he bowed and said, "It turns out it's the boss who's in front of me. I'm rude!"
He Ao scolded: "Since you recognize us as fellow countrymen, why don't you call me senior?"
Xu Wenchang: ""
I really can’t bear to say this, because seniors and juniors are the terms used by scholars!
The other party is a second-ranked Jinshi, and I am not even a scholar. Strictly speaking, I am not a scholar at all. How can I say this senior?
Looking at Xu Wenchang who looked like a pimple, Ma Er felt that he was so tired, and reminded him in a low voice: "Since Mr. He treats you kindly, you can just call me senior!"
But Xu Wenchang still insisted: "I will wait until I gain fame and honor, and then I will recognize my senior in an upright manner!"
He Ao didn't feel dissatisfied, he stroked his beard and praised: "Young man has great ambition!"
Then He Ao turned to Manager Wu of the Ningshao Guild Hall and angrily said: "You who run the guild hall must help the poor and the poor and help the fellow villagers. How dare you look down on others?"
Manager Wu was very unconvinced. You, Mr. He, have never looked at this person named Xu before. How can you pretend to be a righteous person today?
But there was no way, Manager Wu could only hold it in if he wasn't convinced.
Ma Er acted like a good guy now, "Master He, calm down and stop being like this villain! Brother Xu doesn't plan to live in the guild hall anyway, so we won't get in each other's way from now on!"
Xu Wenchang sighed secretly. At this moment, his mind was very clear.
I have been in my hometown for twenty years and have lived in the guild hall for more than ten days. This Mr. He has never spoken for me once. But he is so friendly today, why are you here?
In this world, there is probably only one person in this world who never judges his status, but only appreciates his own talents. Mr. Qin is probably the only one.
Thinking of this, Xu Wenchang took out a tael of silver from his arms and threw it to Manager Wu of the guild hall, "I don't owe you anything, so everything is settled!"
Seeing that the matter in the guild hall had come to an end, Ma Er asked He Ao again: "When did Mr. He arrive in the capital? Why didn't you tell my master?"
He Ao then simply said a few words: "In the past two years, I was appointed as the inspector in Guizhou and Ding You returned to his hometown. Now when I come to Beijing, I naturally put business first and then private affairs."
Ma Er suddenly realized that Mr. He had finished the mourning in his hometown and went to Beijing to seek recovery.
But after all, Ma Er was just a servant and didn't know much about Master He. He didn't know much about Master He's situation and didn't know what to talk about.
So I could only give a courtesy invitation and say: "Since I met Mr. He today, I cannot let my master know that I have treated you disrespectfully, so I dare to ask Mr. He to move to the Qin Mansion to be a guest."
He Ao frowned. Although he also wanted to meet Qin Dewei, if he took the initiative to visit a prosperous student as a teacher, if word got out, he would be said to be following the crowd.
Besides, for some reasons, it may not be appropriate to go to Qin Dewei now.
But Ma Er naturally has his own ideas. His master's status is too high now, so he can't treat others casually.
If you really want to "don't be surprised if you give gifts to many people", then this "gift" will be worthless! Mr. Qin's gift must be a scarce product!
Although Mr. He is also a seat teacher, the weight of a junior seat teacher is much lighter than that of a large seat teacher like Mr. Zhang.
Thinking of this, Ma Er suddenly pointed at Xu Wenchang and said: "Master He, there is no need to worry. I understand very well that you want to help fellow countrymen to advance, so you want to take people to the Qin Mansion."
In this way, He Ao went to the Qin Mansion just to support the younger people from his hometown, not because Qin Dewei was in a high position.
This is the step that Ma Er helped He Ao find. Having worked for Qin Dewei for many years, Ma Er has no shortage of flexibility.
Xu Wenchang was speechless. Is this interesting to you?
But He Ao only said: "In order to support the younger people from my hometown, if I want to go, I will make another appointment."
This made Ma Er feel surprised. He Ao didn't seem to be eager to see his master. He had already helped find the steps, but he was still not in a hurry to go to the Qin Mansion?
To be honest, Ma Er has rarely met such people in the past two years. When most people have the opportunity to meet Mr. Qin, who is not eager to meet him?
Moreover, didn’t He Ao come to the capital to seek an official position? How come he has such a ready-made relationship with Mr. Qin and doesn’t want to use it?
If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it. Ma Er had no obligation to do anything. Watching Ma Er leave, He Ao sighed helplessly.
When he returned to his mansion, Ma Er told Master Qin about his encounter with He Ao. Even if He Ao wasn't here for the time being, this was news that Master Qin must know.
Then Ma Er dutifully reminded him: "I just can't figure it out. Master He is asking for an official, so why don't you come to see him quickly?"
Qin Dewei had far more information than Ma Er. After thinking about it for a while, he sighed: "Teacher He has the same difficulties as Teacher He!"
Ma Er said nonchalantly: "As a kid, I don't believe it anymore. How big of a problem can Mr. He be in? Isn't it possible that you can't solve it, Mr. He?"
Qin Dewei scolded: "What do you know! Do you know that Teacher He has been supported by Yan Song in recent years?"
Ma Er: ""
No matter how much he guessed, he never guessed the reason.
Suddenly hearing such news, Ma Er could only sigh with emotion, your circle is really in chaos!
There is a gossip that many people may not have noticed. Qin Dewei’s junior master, He Ao, is actually a peripheral henchman of Mr. Yan Song, Yan Ge.
In the original history, He Ao even suffered severe retaliation from Guo Xia Yan because he got close to Yan Song.
Later, when Xia Yan was beheaded and Yan Song came to power, He Ao became the Minister of Punishment, and the most famous case in his hands was the murder of Yang Jisheng.
In this time and space, eight years ago, He Ao was an official in Nanzhili, and Yan Song was also raising a family in Nanjing, and then they became connected.
At that time, Yan Song was still a close comrade of Xia Yan, and he and Qin Dewei were not political enemies. They all belonged to Xia Yan's gang.
Later, He Ao's official career went smoothly, and he was promoted to the third rank of Guizhou Inspector, and he was considered a high-level official. During this period, Teacher He received a lot of help from Yan Song.
This is also the reason why Qin Dewei has not had much contact with He Ao over the years.
But Qin Dewei wouldn't blame Teacher He. After all, Teacher He's choice to befriend Yan Song seven or eight years ago seemed perfectly fine at the time, and there was no conflict with Qin Dewei.
Who could have imagined that Yan Song would break up with Xia Yan a few years later and become political enemies with Qin Dewei? Besides, who could have thought that Qin Dewei could rise to such a high level in just eight years?
Moreover, one must have a certain character in politics. It is impossible to make repeated jumps in public and change one's backers at will, otherwise the public will regard him as ungrateful.
After the failure of the last court meeting, the political atmosphere in the capital was still sensitive, and He Ao did not want to keep a high profile, so he waited until evening to quietly visit Yan Ge's old residence.
At this time, a small meeting was being held in the study room of the Yan Mansion. This was not unusual. After the court meeting reached a deadlock and the pause button was pressed, many mansions were probably holding small meetings in the past two days.
After all, a deadlock cannot last forever, and all chess players must find ways to break the deadlock.
The people sitting in Yan's study were all Mr. Yan Ge's closest confidants, including his son Yan Shifan, his wife's brother Ouyang Bijin, and his adopted son Zhao Wenhua. None of them were outsiders.
In meetings in Yan's mansion, Yan Shifan is always the one who talks the most, and tonight is no exception.
"This game of chess has been brought to a dead end by Qin Dewei." Yan Shifan frowned and said, "So we have to find another breakthrough point and attack Qin Dewei from other places."
Zhao Wenhua, who has been promoted to the right councilor of the General Administration Department, said in a dilemma: "Qin Dewei has been consciously staying at home most of the time recently and has not done anything. What breakthrough point can he find?"
As the saying goes, if you don't do something, there will be no flaws.
Yan Shifan said with great certainty: "Of course we can find a breakthrough point. If Qin Dewei thinks that there are no mistakes or omissions if he can't retreat, then he is totally wrong! It's just that you can't see it with your eyes."
Zhao Wenhua stopped talking. If Yan Shifan was really that powerful, you wouldn't have to hide at home and scold Fang Qiu.
Naturally, Yan Shifan didn't know what Zhao Wenhua was thinking, so he said directly: "You can think about it, if something goes wrong in Zhan Shi's house, will Qin Dewei be implicated?"
Ouyang Bijin responded: "Then Qin Dewei has always left Zhan Shifu's affairs alone, how can he be implicated?"
Yan Shifan replied: "No matter how good Qin Dewei is, his official position is still Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu and the bachelor of Zuo Chunfang!"
As long as he hangs on to this official position and sends people to incite, how can he not be implicated in the affairs of Zhan Shifu?"
Only Yan Song could keep up with his son's train of thought and said, "The emperor has already said that he has a sacred intention to retreat behind closed doors for a year or two and let the prince supervise the country. Who can say for sure?"
God's will is unpredictable, and everyone is trying to figure out Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, but who dares to say that he can guess it accurately?
Yan Shifan was still so confident in his judgment and said: "The emperor is afraid that his life span will not last forever, wants to meditate, and has the intention of letting the prince supervise the country. It can be assumed to be true."
Even Yan Song couldn't understand this sentence: "What does it mean to assume it is true?"
Yan Shifan replied: "This means that you can first confirm that it is true and then assume that the emperor really meant it!
But there is a premise: the prince's supervision must be decided by the emperor and given to the East Palace on his own initiative!
If the East Palace takes the initiative to fight for it, it will be another matter, and the emperor will become suspicious! The breakthrough point I mentioned is right here!"
When the East Palace team was first formed, because Qin Dewei was very inactive, most of the candidates were nominated by Xia Yan, Gu Dingchen, and Yan Song.
Therefore, Yan Song also had his own eyes and ears in Zhan Shi's Mansion, and he also knew a little bit about the internal trends in Zhan Shi's Mansion. There were indeed people who were ready to take action.
At this time, a servant came and presented a name post, which belonged to He Ao, the former Inspector General of Guizhou.
After Yan Song thought about it, he ordered: "Please come in!"
Yan Shifan said a little dissatisfied: "We are discussing important matters in secret, why do we meet a useless outsider?"
Yan Song only said: "This person is Qin Dewei's master."
Yan Shifan was also surprised when he heard this, "How can such a person be close to his father?"
When He Ao and Yan Song met in Nanjing, Yan Shifan had already been driven back to the capital, so naturally he didn't know the inside story.
He Ao stood in the front hall of Yan's Mansion, waiting for the reception and feeling filled with emotions.
A young scholar who was admitted casually because of favors, except for his appearance and poetic talents, actually only took seven or eight years to become a giant in the imperial court, and his influence was even stronger than that of his patron, Yan Song.
Two years ago, He Ao didn't regret it too much. After all, Yan Song was already a bachelor of the cabinet, and Qin Dewei was only a fifth-rank Ci minister at that time.
After all, politics requires loyalty, and it is impossible for Teacher He to "treacherously" betray Yan Song, his old supporter, for the sake of his student Qin Dewei.
But who would have thought that Qin Dewei's power is now as powerful as Yan Song, or even slightly greater than that of Yan Song. And He Ao, Qin Dewei's master, is still on Yan Dang's ship.
This is called fate playing tricks on people!
Every time he thinks about this, Teacher He feels sad and heartbroken. If he had known that Qin Dewei was as cool as he is today, why would he have hugged Yan Song's thigh in the first place?
