At this time, I heard Emperor Jiajing say: "Since it is all a misunderstanding, then everyone can be forgiven!"
Some people who are not smart are still wondering. Yan Shifan insists on "misunderstanding", which seems to be purely arrogant and very childish. Why does it still have an effect?
Because this statement actually captured the mind of Emperor Jiajing.
Since it was all a misunderstanding, Qin Dewei's forced intrusion and beating were naturally excusable and understandable;
Naturally, the Ministry of Justice and Mao Bowen did not intentionally delay military aircraft or hinder official duties. Since no serious consequences were caused, it was justifiable.
After all, Emperor Jiajing didn't care about who was right and wrong, and he didn't want to punish Qin Dewei for beating someone, let alone remove the Minister of Punishment, so it was best that it was a misunderstanding, and at worst, each of them would be fined three drinks.
Qin Dewei could not go against Emperor Jiajing's wishes, so he could only sigh and said: "Then you, Yan Shifan, should tell you about your lies and deception!"
Yan Shifan was also a bachelor, so he responded to Qin Dewei: "The emperor just rewarded forty imperial staffs, just take them!"
Qin Dewei said: "No, no, I'm not talking about this. The crime just now was just now, but now you have a new crime of lying to deceive the emperor."
Yan Shifan: "."
Then he heard Qin Dewei say to Emperor Jiajing: "Yan Shifan initially said that after being beaten by the minister, he was too afraid to impeach him, and then he was exposed by the minister. This was a lie to deceive the emperor, so your majesty has a reward of forty imperial staffs.
Just now, in his desperation, he first accused the minister of being too self-absorbed, which caused the problem; then when he heard that the minister said that he was on official duty at the time, he quickly changed his tune and said that everything was a misunderstanding.
I don’t know which one is the truth? Two completely different statements, one of which is always a lie!
What is particularly hateful is that I lied to you once and then did it again immediately, which is intolerable!"
When everyone heard this, they felt cold sweat for Yan Shifan. Emperor Jiajing might not care who was right or wrong, but he definitely cared about who lied in front of the emperor.
If he was really recognized by Emperor Jiajing, Yan Shifan would have to shed his skin even if he died, and it would be difficult for him to move out of Yan Pavilion.
Yan Shifan could not tolerate Qin Dewei to continue talking, so he quickly interrupted: "Your Majesty, it is clear! Qin Dewei is good at imposing authority, and causing others to misunderstand is actually the same thing!
It was Qin Dewei who was good at doing power and blessing first, and then others misunderstood it, so it is not inconsistent!"
Qin Dewei continued: "Then I understand. According to Qin Yan Shifan's statement, I was on official duty at the time and went to work in the Ministry of Punishment, so I am suspected of being a prestige?"
Yan Shifan said very vigilantly: "This has nothing to do with whether you go to the Ministry of Punishment for official duties! There is no need to confuse it!
Not only the Ministry of Punishment, you also went to the Ministry of Works and extorted 20,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Works under a clever pretext. Isn’t it true that you are good at bullying?
If you use Guo Xunzhuang's farmland to test firearms at will, isn't it because you are good at imposing authority?"
Qin Dewei then said to Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty, I just had a question that I still haven't been able to figure out, which is why others always misunderstand me? Just after Yan Shifan reminded me, I suddenly realized it!"
Many people want to interject here and say, why do others always have "misunderstandings" about you, Qin Dewei, and you don't know why?
When did you, Qin Dewei, sincerely let others guess your thoughts? If others could guess your thoughts, would there still be misunderstandings?
Qin Dewei didn't care what others thought. As long as the emperor didn't interrupt him, he continued: "The root of the misunderstanding is that I am different from many ministers and have completely different starting points, so misunderstandings often occur!"
Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but ask: "What is different between you and others?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I do things, but many people don't do things. This is different!"
Emperor Jiajing scolded: "Absurd! Who among the ministers in the DPRK does not do anything? Are you, Qin Dewei, the only one responsible for official duties?"
Qin Dewei continued: "What I mean by doing things is to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, lead the frontier, and be ahead of the times!
It is not about following the rules, sticking to the rules, and following the old-fashioned things, it is like a donkey working in circles, and it keeps going in circles for decades!
The former is to share your Majesty's worries, while the latter is just a waste of salary!"
Emperor Jiajing said subconsciously: "You are not ashamed to speak loudly!"
But after talking about it, I felt that Qin Dewei was not completely boasting. He seemed to be one step ahead of others in many things. The accumulated achievements were really quite a lot, and they all made the emperor worry-free.
Sometimes, facts speak louder than words, and no one can deny it.
When he said this, Qin Dewei suddenly pointed at Yan Shifan: "There are even many people who don't do anything at all. They spend their whole day thinking about fighting for power and profit, and their starting point is completely different from the minister!
These people can't understand what I'm thinking. In their eyes, my courageous behavior is all about prestige. With their big hearts, they can only understand it this way!
They are often despised by their ministers. Whenever they are scolded until they are speechless, they will use the word "misunderstanding" as an excuse!
In fact, there is no misunderstanding, it’s just a lack of understanding!”
Yan Shifan, who was named again, lost his guard and said angrily: "Although you, Qin Dewei, have made more contributions, but you are a minister in the same court as us, what's the difference?
You went to the Ministry of Industry to set up a trap to seize power, you went to the Ministry of Punishments to test Mao Bowen's intentions, and you bombed Guo Xun's manor to retaliate and warn Guo Xun!
Are you, Qin Dewei, the only one who is an innocent gentleman, while everyone else is a despicable villain?"
Emperor Jiajing suddenly became energetic. He was used to old foxes and little foxes walking around without saying anything. It was quite interesting to suddenly hear such straightforward and down-to-earth language.
Qin Dewei turned his head and reprimanded Yan Shifan directly: "I went to the Ministry of Industry to ask for human resources to develop huge cannons for city defense. In your eyes, Yan Shifan, you are good at creating power!
I went to the Ministry of Punishment to make use of the prisoners and form a peripheral barrier for the Xuanfu and Jizhen, so as to completely ensure the safety of the capital. I had already made suggestions to Your Majesty in Mi Shu! But in the eyes of you, Yan Shifan, you can only be good at exerting authority!
I was testing firearms in Zhuangtian, actually to test the gunpowder formula. Now I have a more powerful formula, making my Ming firearms even more powerful! But in the eyes of you, Yan Shifan, I am still only good at making power!
People like you have no idea how I think about things, and you have no idea what I'm doing.
You only know power and benefit, so you only see others in terms of power and benefit!"
Yan Shifan: "."
Qin Dewei secretly changed the meaning of the word and redefined it as "good at doing power and good fortune"!
Everyone thought deeply and finally realized the gap or difference between the Yan family and Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei was doing groundbreaking practical work while taking advantage of the opportunity to stuff personal goods into people's lives, while the Yan family's father and son only knew how to torture people, but could not do much practical work.
Although I am not good at it, I still ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket!!!
