Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapters miserable
After personally experiencing the flash of swords and swords in the court, He Ao really had the desire to retreat. Perhaps continuing to serve in other provinces is the best choice at the moment.
First, because there are currently several forces in the court who are constantly wrestling with each other, and the struggle is so fierce that it is easy to get involved in it.
Secondly, his identity is a bit embarrassing. He is both a member of the strict party and a junior teacher of Qin Dewei. Being caught in the middle, it is easy for him to dislike both sides.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, it is better to hide in another place and wait for the situation in the court to stabilize before returning to the capital.
Thinking of this, Teacher He took the new chopsticks from the servant and said to Qin Dewei: "I heard that you are familiar with the officials and households. If you can be appointed as an official, you will be satisfied. If you can be appointed as the governor, it will be even more lucky.
Yes, or Shandong, Huguang and other places can also serve as inspectors."
Qin Dewei took a sip of soup, raised his head and asked in surprise: "Didn't the teacher say last night that he wanted to be the prince's guest? Why did he change his mind again?"
He Ao was even more confused. When he expressed this idea last night, it seemed that Qin Dewei meant that he disagreed. Why did he change his mind again this morning?
Is it possible that you agree again? Qin Dewei is already halfway into the middle hall of the pavilion after all. Don’t always be capricious!
Before Teacher He could figure it out, Qin Dewei said, "I'll recommend Teacher He to the Emperor as a guest of the Crown Prince!"
He Ao was shocked. He never expected Qin Dewei to say such a thing. So what happened to his opposition last night?
The East Palace official position of Prince Guest is the same as Hanlin Ci Minister. It does not belong to foreign court officials and does not need to go through the selection process of the Ministry of Personnel. Instead, it is directly promoted by the emperor.
But how do you let the emperor know a person's name and promote him?
One situation is that the minister is in the heart of the emperor, and when there is a position, the emperor will naturally think of it; the other situation is, of course, that the minister directly recommends it to the emperor, and then the emperor becomes well-known.
But at the same time, ministers who recommended candidates to the emperor often had to bear joint and several responsibilities.
Therefore, if Qin Dewei directly recommended Teacher He to the emperor, it would be equivalent to Teacher He providing a guarantee. This responsibility is very heavy.
He Ao looked at Qin Dewei blankly. His experience in the past two days told him that this matter would not be that simple.
When Teacher He visited Yan Song previously, the procedure suggested by Mr. Yan Ge should be as follows: first, find a peripheral minister to recommend him, He Ao, as a guest of the prince;
Then, when the emperor consulted the ministers around him, Yan Song and Qin Dewei would express their support; in the end, the matter was basically completed.
Even Yan Song would not imagine that a treacherous person like Qin Dewei would be willing to take responsibility and risk political risks to personally recommend people. After all, the East Palace is an unstable factor in the eyes of mature politicians.
But Teacher He heard it, and Qin Dewei personally recommended it to the emperor.
Normally, Teacher He should be moved to tears at this moment, proud to have a student like Qin Dewei who knows how to repay kindness, but in fact, Teacher He only feels a chill.
To be honest, if we compare Yan Song and Qin Dewei, from the perspective of irrational subjective feelings, Yan Song seems to be more worthy of Teacher He's trust.
It seems that Mr. Yan Ge is sincere to him and treats others more sincerely, while Qin Dewei has endless tricks and too many tricks that are intimidating.
After coming out of Qin Dewei's place, He Ao went to Yan Song's place again. It was not because of Teacher He's deep feelings for Mr. Yan Ge, but because he had to go.
He Ao met many outsiders in the Qin Mansion, so it would be impossible to keep the secret secret. Maybe Yan Song would hear about He Ao's visit to Qin Dewei.
Therefore, from a political and moral perspective, He Ao should take the initiative to go to Yan Mansion to explain the situation.
Originally Yan Song had finished his vacation and was going to Xiyuan Wuyi Hall to enter Zhi today, but because He Ao visited again, he postponed it for an hour.
Hearing the news from He Ao, Yan Song was also shocked. Qin Dewei really wanted to place such a big capital and bet?
After He Ao left, Yan Song found Yan Shifan again.
Many times, only his own son can keep up with Qin Dewei's thinking. Although it is often slow or completely different, it is better than nothing.
Yan Shifan thought for a moment and then judged: "It's very simple if you think about it. This is Qin Dewei's conspiracy to steal love!
Qin Dewei personally recommended He Ao this time, and Qin Dewei is He Ao's disciple. So in the eyes of the world from now on, wouldn't He Ao be Qin Dewei's party member?
I'm afraid that by then, He Ao can't help himself and will be forced by public opinion to turn to Qin Dewei, then Qin Dewei will have picked up a third-grade official as a party member, and he still poached it from us!"
Yan Song said doubtfully: "But the official position of the East Palace is very sensitive, and no cautious person will get involved easily. Could it be that Qin Dewei is very optimistic about the East Palace, so he dares to bet on He Ao?"
From the perspective of future generations and travelers, this East Palace was a big hit, but it was different in the minds of people at the time.
After all, so far in the Ming Dynasty, there has been no precedent for attacking the East Palace. The officials and subordinates of the East Palace are basically equal to the future bosses.
This is very unpredictable, and Yan Shifan is not sure, "I feel that Qin Dewei's thinking generally has two points. The first is to hedge his bets, and he will not relax in the East Palace.
The second is to prepare a retreat or another way out. If the military aircraft department is blocked and fails, then take control of the East Palace."
Yan Song couldn't calm down anymore and repeated: "Is it true that Qin Dewei is optimistic about the East Palace? I heard from He Ao that Qin Dewei has already agreed to Tang Shunzhi."
Even as a political opponent, Yan Song had to admit that Qin Dewei's judgment of the situation was notoriously accurate.
Mr. Yan Ge is not without doubts. The life span of Emperor Jiajing is already close to the average life span of previous emperors. What if Emperor Jiajing really dies in a few years?
Yan Shifan said extremely resolutely: "Whether Qin Dewei is optimistic about the East Palace or not, we can only not be optimistic about it!
Qin Dewei is Shao Zhan, we are not! We must be loyal to the emperor! Please father, don't hesitate any more!
What we have to do now is to wait for the opportunity to seduce the existing East Palace team to make mistakes! This will let the Emperor know who is truly loyal!"
Although Qin Dewei did not go to work, he was not idle either. He wrote a secret book and sent it to the palace.
In fact, Emperor Jiajing has received a lot of secrets in the past two days. Almost everyone who has a silver medal has written secrets and sent them over, including Zhai Luan, who was left out.
In addition, in the official circles of the capital, another rumor began to spread. It was said that Qin Dewei and Qin Zhongtang wanted to recommend He Ao, the junior minister, as a guest of the prince.
This rumor is very surprising. At this time, Qin Zhongtang should be planning a layout for the military aircraft department, and the combination of vertical and horizontal is the best. Why is he in the mood to play another game of chess in the East Palace?
Although they were dubious, everyone did not ignore it because gossip often serves as a guide.
Then another even more crazy rumor spread, saying that Qin Dewei planned to control the officials of the East Palace, then support the East Palace to supervise the country, and then carry out a general purge of the center!
This news is so incredible and shocking that no one knows where it came from.
At this time, Emperor Jiajing, who was practicing Taoism in Renshou Palace, suddenly issued an edict, ordering Xia Yan, Yan Song, and Qin Dewei to appear in court. The second court meeting that was originally planned to be held was temporarily suspended.
After receiving the imperial edict at home, Qin Dewei hurried into the palace and waited outside the gate of Renshou Palace. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Xia Yan and Yan Song also appeared together.
Before the three of them could quarrel with each other, the eunuch inside ushered the three of them in.
Emperor Jiajing was still wearing Taoist robes as usual, sitting high on the golden platform in the front hall, looking at the three ministers who came in.
In fact, Emperor Jiajing has been a little unsure in the past few days as to what these three people are thinking. Sometimes it is difficult to make an accurate judgment through memorials and only through words. Therefore, he called them all over today for face-to-face observation.
.
After the three people saluted, they didn't know why the emperor suddenly summoned them, so they didn't say anything.
Emperor Jiajing suddenly said to Xia and Yan: "Qin Dewei recommended He Ao, the former governor of Guizhou, as a guest of the prince in the secret book. What do you think?"
Of course, Xia Yan, the first assistant, would object. This prince's guest obviously replaced Zhan Shi, and would even be replaced by Zhan Shi in the future. At present, Zhan Shi and Lu Shen were Xia Yan's teachers.
No matter from which angle, Xia Yan could not support any of the prince's guests, especially when He Ao was not one of his own.
So Xia Yan responded first: "It's really not necessary. The affairs of Zhan Shifu are still in good order, so there is no need to add nondescript guests from the prince."
Yan Song replied: "Zhan Shi and Lu Shen cannot be in charge, and there is no leader among the officials in the East Palace. We should temporarily add one to clarify the order."
Emperor Jiajing listened to the two people's opinions and was noncommittal. Then he turned to Qin Dewei, raised his voice and asked: "Qin Dewei, why do you recommend He Ao? He is your tutor?"
Qin Dewei answered without any flaws and in a business-like manner: "Since the imperial court is short of people, it is the right thing for me to recommend talented people."
This was just a small meeting in front of the emperor, and Emperor Jiajing obviously did not want to listen to such a business-related memorial.
He said resolutely: "If the teacher is a guest of the prince, and you are a young man, some people say that you want to specialize in the East Palace for the sake of future plans!"
Qin Dewei replied without hesitation: "If there are any doubts in the court, I would like to resign as Young Master to avoid suspicion."
Xia Yan and Yan Song were surprised when they heard this. Is Qin Dewei talking to the emperor in anger?
Based on twenty years of experience during the Jiajing Dynasty, officials in both the DPRK and the Central Government knew that it would be very easy for the lie to come true if someone said they were resigning out of anger in front of Emperor Jiajing!
Emperor Jiajing is really not used to this kind of problem. If you say you resign out of anger, the emperor will really dare to let you go! The only exception in recent years is probably Zhai Luan, who wanted to resign but couldn't.
While Xia Yan and Yan Song were looking forward to it, Emperor Jiajing just slapped the table and shouted: "Qin Dewei, if you have anything else to say, just say it!"
Qin Dewei continued to answer: "My original intention in recommending my teacher He Ao as a guest of the prince was to have He Ao replace me in the East Palace! Because I really can't stand the position of a young official anymore, and I have long thought of resigning!"
Although he knew that Qin Dewei might be deliberately talking nonsense, Emperor Jiajing still couldn't help but ask: "Why can't you continue?"
Qin Dewei replied: "Because I cannot control the officials of the East Palace. Besides, I regard myself as His Majesty's attendant and have no energy to take care of the affairs of the East Palace.
It just so happens that there is currently no leader or director among the officials in the East Palace, so I, the young minister, have actually become the person with the highest official position.
So I was repeatedly forced by the subordinates of the East Palace officials, and I suffered terribly for this! That's why I said that I wanted to resign from this post of Shao Zhan!"
Everyone has their own understanding of the meaning of Qin Dewei's words.
Emperor Jiajing's expression softened, and he tortured his soul again and said: "You don't even want to be responsible for the affairs of the East Palace, so what do you want to do?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "When I am in court, I feel that I have nowhere to go and I don't know what to do."
Emperor Jiajing scolded: "Can it be that the imperial court cannot tolerate you?"
Qin Dewei hurriedly reported to him: "I originally entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, but now Wenyuan Pavilion has an additional scholar, Zhai Luan, on duty.
He is in charge of maintenance, but I am not in charge of maintenance. Naturally, he has priority over me, so what else can I do in Wenyuan Pavilion?"
Xia Yan and Yan Song were stunned. What happened to Zhai Luan after being squeezed out by Qin Dewei? He has become a bachelor of Dongjuan Peng!
As a result, you, Qin Dewei, even opened your eyes and said, Zhai Luan has priority over you, and it makes it difficult for you to do things?
Just say that during this imperial meeting, the emperor called you Qin Dewei, but did not call Zhai Luan. Doesn't that explain the problem?
Qin Dewei continued: "Originally, I thought, please set up a separate military aircraft department to be unique. At least it can do something, and can share the worries of your majesty. It will not waste the imperial salary by leaving the corpse alone.
Moreover, at the court meeting, the minister's proposal to preside over the Military Aircraft Department clearly received a lot of support, but the court meeting was forcibly suspended again, and finally the matter of the Military Aircraft Department was blocked!
If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Yan Ge, Xia's first assistant, what was the conclusion of the court discussion at that time?"
Emperor Jiajing knew without asking that there was an official school present at the time. As an emperor, of course he knew the general process and content of the court discussion.
If you had to ask, the answer you heard would definitely be: the conclusion at that time was that Qin Dewei was the cabinet bachelor and the leader of the military department. Then Yan Song was refuted and had nothing to say, and Xia Shoufu interrupted the court discussion.
But Emperor Jiajing didn't want to ask. If he really wanted to ask, Xia Yan, the chief minister of Xia who interrupted the court discussion, might have to apologize and ask to resign.
Finally, Qin Dewei concluded: “This won’t work, that won’t work, this can’t be done, that can’t be done, this won’t be done, and that won’t be done!
Therefore, I am doing nothing, wasting my time, and feeling miserable inside. I really don’t know what to do! I don’t even know how to respond to Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to show me a clear way!”
Except for Qin Dewei himself, Emperor Jiajing, Xia Yan, and Yan Song were all speechless.
Just listening to Qin Dewei's dictation just now, I thought that Qin Dewei was a street official who was squeezed out and suppressed everywhere, frustrated, ostracized and isolated.
But what is Qin Dewei like in reality? Who in the court has no idea? You, Qin Dewei, are always miserable, have you ever considered the feelings of others?
Emperor Jiajing fell into deep thought. On the surface, Qin Dewei was selling out misfortune, but in fact he was seeking advice from him, the emperor, for an accurate position.
After all, Qin Dewei is different from Xia Yan and Yan Song, who are traditional and upright officials. They have too many ambiguities.
Record: 1.6/10.
This plot is not designed well, and I can't find a complete idea. This may be the reason why the vicious circle leads to the inability to get up. It seems that I can only finish it quickly and jump out to start a new plot.
But having said that, if you reach a high position, it will be very difficult to write a good court drama, because when the protagonist reaches a high position, you can't get into fights personally, and writing layouts, analysis, and strategies of all parties will be boring.
