In fact, the servants of the Qin Mansion made a mistake. The official who came to the Qin Mansion to convey the message was not from the Yiwu Yamen. Like last time, he was from the General Affairs Department.
Urgent official documents are confidential and cannot be transferred and placed casually, let alone delivered to your home. Moreover, the palace gate was not open at night, so you could not enter the Wenyuan Pavilion Military Aircraft Department, so the original urgent official documents were still in the General Affairs Department.
Qin Dewei and Qin Zhongtang, who were notified, could only go to the General Affairs Department to open and read the urgent documents at this time.
In the General Affairs Department, a special court room was set up for temporary use by officials of the Military Aircraft Department.
The Military Aircraft Department was founded, and many service processes were perfected bit by bit, which involved a lot of Qin Dewei's energy.
Aside from gossip, they said that Qin Zhongtang came to the General Administration Department at night. The officials on duty were very puzzled. They did not expect that Qin Zhongtang came over overnight.
Although this is an urgent official document, it is not a warning that the border has been invaded. Why does it need to be processed overnight?
Qin Dewei said: "If you can understand, the Military Aircraft Department will take care of it for you!"
After receiving the urgent document, Qin Zhongtang first looked at the cover and saw that it was sent from Xuanfu Town, so Qin Zhongtang had a rough idea.
He opened it and read it again, and sure enough, it was Bai Jue, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, who reported to the court that the tribe of the little prince in the north of Xuanfu had begun to move eastward.
The little prince is what the Ming Dynasty has called the Great Khan, the leader of the Beibei clan in recent decades, and Anda, who has risen in recent years, is only one of the 30,000 households on the right wing of the Beibei clan and the leader of the Tumote tribe.
Using the analogy of political status in the Central Plains, Anda's status is actually like that of a prince, but Anda's personal ability is strong and his power gradually expands. On the grassland where force is respected, his prestige exceeds that of the little prince of the clan, just like the coercion of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Emperor Zhou, so he is well known.
The little prince's tribe was stationed in Dashawo, which was located in the north of Xuanfu Town, roughly known as "Bashang" in later generations. It was the area where the Winter Olympics had been held, where there was a grassland road, and further north.
When Qin Dewei was appointed as the Governor of Xuan Da, when he passed by the Xuan Mansion, he reminded Bai Jue, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, that the young prince might have the intention of moving eastward.
There are probably two reasons. One is that the aquatic plants in Dashawo are gradually running out; the other is that the pressure from the Anta forces in the west is increasing, so they moved east to avoid their influence.
In the original history, after the Little Prince's tribe moved eastward to the middle and upper reaches of the Liao River, Dashawo was occupied by Anda's forces, and Anda gained a springboard to threaten the capital.
In the past, Anda's forces mainly threatened Datong and Shanxi. After the little prince moved eastward, Anda occupied the old territory of the little prince, and his troops could attack Xuanfu and Jizhen, the gateway to the capital.
Ten years later in the original historical time and space, that is, the 29th year of Jiajing, Anda's army crossed the border wall from Jizhen, attacked and looted the surrounding areas of the capital, and even disturbed the imperial mausoleum on Tianshou Mountain.
This incident was known as the Gengxu Rebellion in history. Emperor Jiajing regarded it as a great shame and humiliation and had the Minister of War beheaded to express his anger. The earliest reason for the Gengxu Rebellion was actually the young prince's migration eastward.
And in this time and space, if something similar to the "Gengxu Incident" happens again, then most of the people who will be vented of anger will be the military aircraft department responsible for border affairs.
At that time, even if Qin Zhongtang will not be beheaded, he will still go to Leizhou to eat lychees.
So don't just look at Qin Dewei's struggle for power, which seems to be endless fun, as if he can do it alone, but at the same time, we must also see that there is equal responsibility behind the power, and those who do not deserve it will eventually be counterattacked.
The above is the reason why Qin Zhongtang is so concerned about the movements of the little prince's men, and has been urging Bai Jue, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, to strengthen reconnaissance.
Not only for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, but also for my own head!
After reading the report from the Xuanfu, Qin Dewei thought for a moment and then began to write a secret.
That's right, it's a secret only for the emperor himself to see. Probably because some things need to be kept secret and not suitable for public discussion. The main content is the response plan after the little prince moves eastward.
And because it concerned his own head, Qin Dewei had never written a memorial so seriously.
Usually other things, although most of them are important, will not endanger lives if they are messed up.
When daybreak came, the official machinery of the Ming Dynasty began to operate again.
The original official document sent from the Xuanfu last night was sent to Renshou Palace together with Qin Zhongtang. It will be seen when Emperor Jiajing wakes up and has his meal.
Qin Dewei went to Wenyuan Pavilion to take care of things normally. Although he didn't sleep much all night, Qin Dewei was still young after all. After an hour's nap in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, most of his energy was restored.
Then when Qin Zhongtang was drinking tea from a teacup, Fang You, a fellow from Fangshe, walked in. After reporting the corresponding official duties, he talked about another matter:
"Someone came from Xiyuan just now and heard that someone suggested to His Majesty that Guo Xun should be reinstated as the chief military officer of the Beijing camp."
Of course Fang Sheren knew about the grievances between Guo Xun and Qin Zhongtang, so he thought it was necessary to let Qin Zhongtang know about this rumor.
Moreover, many people know that when Guo Xun was the arrogant chief military officer of the Beijing camp, he was brought down by Qin Dewei. This time, Guo Xun's treatment when he returned from Datong in a prison car was also arranged by Qin Dewei.
When Qin Zhongtang was promoted to Banbu Pavilion Elder, if Guo Xun returned to be the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, wouldn't it be a slap in Qin Zhongtang's face?
Qin Dewei asked doubtfully: "Is there someone to recommend? Who is this person? Mr. Yan Ge?"
After much deliberation, the only person qualified to recommend the chief military officer of the Beijing camp to the emperor was Yan Song. Yange was old. At least in a short period of time, Qin Dewei could not think of a second candidate.
Thinking of this, Qin Dewei said indignantly: "Some people hold high positions, but they don't know how to do something practical for the country and the people! They spend their days fighting for power and profit, and calculating people's hearts!"
Fang Sheren did not comment on this, so as not to cause Qin Zhongtang to misunderstand and feel ridiculed.
After a while, Fang You asked cautiously: "As for the issuance of the imperial edict to Mr. Zhai Ge, on what day do you plan to arrange it in the middle hall?"
Is there such a thing? Qin Dewei was stunned, patted his forehead again, and laughed at himself: "I am so wrapped up in the documents that I actually forgot about this matter!"
No wonder I’ve been feeling like I’ve forgotten something in the past two days, but it turns out it’s this!
But what makes Qin Zhongtang strange is why no one around him reminds him? Do others think this matter is not important? Is this the information island phenomenon of the superiors? It is really worthy of vigilance!
How to deal with your boss, especially a boss like Qin Zhongtang, is a matter of knowledge. Fang Sheren did not care whether Qin Zhongtang’s forgetfulness was true or not, and said frankly:
"Last night, Mr. Zhai Ge's son came to visit me with my banknotes. I don't know what to do. Please give me some advice."
The first is that Mr. Zhai Ge is in a hurry, and the second is that he clearly says that he has received the money.
Qin Dewei didn't care about Fang You's collection of money, but replied without hesitation: "We must issue the imperial edict as soon as possible, otherwise it will be laziness and delay!
It’s a pity that there are other important things happening today. When I get free time, I will go to Zhaige’s hometown to deliver the imperial edict! You should write it down first and remember to remind me!”
To Fang Sheren's ears, he felt that the "big things" and "little things" mentioned by Qin Zhongtang were too metaphysical.
It also means a big event, which means that the appointment of a chief minister is a trivial matter? I really want to know what other big event is there today that can be bigger than the appointment of a chief minister.
After that, Qin Zhongtang browsed through the documents in Wenyuan Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Department, and after sorting out the important matters, he stood up and walked out, and told Fang Sheren: "Go to the Criminal Department in the West City!"
Fang Sheren: "."
Didn't Lord Zhongtang just visit the Ministry of Punishment yesterday? How come he has to visit the Ministry of Punishment again today? And a bigger thing than appointing the chief assistant is to visit the Ministry of Punishment?
For the sake of the reputation of Master Zhongtang, Fang You felt that he had to be honest once again.
He blocked Qin Dewei's way and hinted: "Zhongtang suddenly visited the Ministry of Justice for two consecutive days. In the eyes of others, I am afraid that it will cause criticism at home and abroad. After all, people's words are terrible!"
Mao Bowen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, was a henchman left by Xia Yan. Qin Dewei went to the Ministry of Punishment to look for Mao Bowen every day. It was as if Sima Zhao’s intentions were known to everyone! He was so ostentatious, weren’t he afraid of being gossiped about by others?
Qin Dewei simply said: "I act with a clear conscience. When have you ever been afraid of what others say?"
Fang You had nothing to say. Anyone with a discerning eye could see why Qin Zhongtang was looking for Mao Bowen. It was either to win over or to coerce and induce. The purpose was not to expand his power. How could he have a clear conscience?
And although forming gangs is common, in the final analysis it is an unspoken rule. How can it be made too obvious?
But Fang Sheren couldn't stop him forcefully, and if he couldn't be persuaded, he could only follow him conscientiously.
Qin Dewei left the right gate of Chang'an, went to the west of Ma, and soon arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment.
Today, Qin Zhongtang was even more arrogant than yesterday. He didn't even get off his horse, but rode directly towards the gate.
There is an important prison in the Ministry of Punishment, so the gate of the Ministry of Punishment is very tightly guarded. Immediately, clerks and officers and soldiers stopped Qin Dewei.
Qin Zhongtang raised his riding whip unceremoniously and whipped the people who blocked him.
Qin Dewei had just arrived yesterday. Who didn't know the people guarding the gate? Now that the whip was coming, they could only dodge.
A clerk hid far away and shouted to Qin Dewei: "You are not allowed to trespass in the important area of the Ministry of Justice! Please get off your horse and speak to Qin Zhongtang!"
Qin Dewei, who was sitting on the horse, shouted: "I want to see Mr. Mao and tell you, Mr. Mao, to come out!"
Fang Sheren, who was following as a follower, covered his face in pain. Qin Zhongtang was so domineering and unsightly today.
If anyone else had dared to break into the Punishment Department like this, they would have been treated as a criminal in Jietian Prison and beheaded on the spot!
Could it be that everything went wrong yesterday, and then today I heard rumors that Guo Xun was recommended to be the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp again, so I became impatient and angry?
Even as a member of Qin Zhongtang, Fang Sheren believes that a person cannot be so domineering!
Not long after, a scribe came back to the gate from inside and shouted to Qin Dewei: "The great commander said, Qin Zhongtang will not be seen today!"
This reply was completely expected by everyone. Based on Qin Zhongtang's arrogant, rude and overly bullying manner at the gate, anyone who wanted to show off his face would not receive Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei whipped him in the air again and shouted: "Go and report again. I have official business with Master Mao. How dare he not see me?"
Others present didn't understand. If you want to form a gang, how can you be so aggressive as a bully? If you really want to have official business, you won't be like this, just taking out people's anger!
But when they wanted to think about it, they all dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and no one came out to stop Qin Dewei.
At this time, someone suddenly came to the gate of the Ministry of Justice and shouted righteously: "Qin Zhongtang is so rude and hurts the dignity of the court! Put down your whip!"
Everyone looked up according to the sound, and whether they knew him or not, they all recognized that this was Yan Shifan, the only son of Mr. Yan Ge. For no other reason, the characteristics were too obvious.
It turns out that Yan Shifan came to the Punishment Department today for Mao Bowen.
Yesterday Zhao Wenhua came to win over Mao Bowen, but the effect was not great, so today Yan Shifan came to lobby in person.
But he didn't expect that Qin Dewei would be arrogant and domineering at the gate of the Ministry of Justice. As for what Qin Dewei was here to do, it must be for Mao Bowen to save others by himself.
Yan Shifan thought again, if Qin Dewei could be taken away, wouldn't there be one less competitor today?
Qin Dewei was also surprised. Is it a surprise to meet Yan Shifan when he came to the Ministry of Justice? But he snorted coldly and said: "I have official business with Mao Bowen, what does it have to do with you?"
Yan Shifan seemed to have heard some joke: "The operation of our Ming Dynasty's official business is different from that of previous dynasties. It relies more on the circulation of documents. It is extremely rare to come to the door for face-to-face discussions. So if you come to see Da Si Kou, what urgent official business can you have?"
Yan Shifan's statement is indeed correct. If the number of official documents of all dynasties was evaluated, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be in the top three.
In the Ming Dynasty, from the imperial court to local officials, governance relied heavily on the circulation of official documents, and there were very few face-to-face discussions between different yamen.
For example, it was almost impossible for the magistrate to visit the magistrate and discuss official matters face to face in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
There are very few people like Qin Dewei who openly visit other yamen, so people in Fangshe worry that "people's words are to be feared".
Qin Dewei, who was retorted by Yan Shifan, gritted his teeth and said arrogantly: "In any case, it has nothing to do with you Yan Shifan! How dare you, Yan Shifan, deliberately stop me here?"
There were already many people watching the excitement inside and outside the gate. Yan Shifan looked around and felt that it was a good opportunity to increase his reputation.
So Yan Shifan replied righteously: "The affairs of the world are under the control of everyone! You, Qin Dewei, are being domineering and rude here, and you are whipping others. Naturally, I can't stand it! Even though you are the most important person in the middle hall, I, Yan Shifan, have nothing to fear!"
Qin Zhongtang raised his whip and started to hit him. Yan Shifan refused to dodge, so he hit Qin Zhongtang with his shoulder.
Even Qin Zhongtang himself was stunned. You, Yan Shifan, didn't hide?
Yan Shifan covered the burning scar on his shoulder and reprimanded loudly: "The Qin Dynasty is unjust! Indiscriminately hurting innocent people! How dare you commit murder in broad daylight!"
It's a bitter trick to take a beating, but if we have solid evidence of Qin Dewei's murder, it's worth it!
Qin Dewei didn't seem to listen to what Yan Shifan said at all, and said without any fluctuation: "Since you don't hide, then slap me a few more times!"
As he spoke, he raised the whip again and struck Yan Shifan hard, but Yan Shifan still took the blow without dodging.
But Qin Zhongtang was really not polite and raised his whip high again, which shocked Yan Shifan!
Wucao! This guy named Qin actually knows how to beat people endlessly in public! He doesn’t care about the impact at all!
It's not a loss if you get beaten once, but if you get beaten continuously and end up being beaten to death, it will be a big loss!
Then Yan Shifan rushed behind his servant and shouted to Qin Dewei: "Put down your whip!"
Fang Sheren, who followed Qin Dewei, secretly sighed, there was no way it could end now! Not to mention that if word got out, Qin Dewei's popularity would be completely ruined!
Qin Dewei couldn't defeat Yan Shifan, so he was no longer interested in staying at the gate of the Criminal Department, turned his horse's head, and walked away.
However, Yan Shifan said happily to his confidants: "It can be seen from today that Qin Dewei is now carried away and has a high self-esteem, so there is nothing to worry about!"
The followers were speechless. Today they have seen someone who is still so happy after being whipped twice.
5.8, isn’t there still more than 30,000 words left? It’s such a big deal, so I’ll speed up tomorrow.
