Being teased about ethics by a mortal enemy, what else could Yan Shifan do besides crushing his teeth and causing his blood pressure to soar? He couldn't talk or beat him.
The main reason is that there is a decorated guard named Xu Miaojing who is guarding the Renshou Palace Gate and the Yinghe Gate. He will definitely help Qin.
It is already approaching dusk, the palace doors are about to be locked, and those who should leave the palace must leave.
To the southeast of Renshou Palace is Wuyi Hall, which is where the ministers live, and the road in the middle leads to Yinghe Gate.
Yan Shifan was walking with anger in his heart. Inadvertently, he saw an old figure standing at the corner of the back wall of Wuyi Hall, and he was looking at him worriedly. Who could this be if he wasn't his father Yan Song?
Could it be that father stood outside all afternoon?
For some reason, Yan Shifan's eyes instantly became moist, and tears almost flowed out.
It turned out that Yan Shifan always disliked his father for being too weak and incompetent, and always fell at a disadvantage when fighting Qin Dewei in front of the emperor. He simply did not look like a top powerful official.
Today I went to Renshou Palace and experienced it for myself, and I realized how difficult and difficult it has been for my father these years. After all, I was young, frivolous and ignorant.
Moreover, he was accused by Qin Dewei of "lying to deceive the emperor" but escaped dozens of imperial cudgels. Could it be because the emperor forgot? It was not because he thought of his father's kindness and deliberately spared him.
Think of Xia Yan who was dismissed from office by lightning, look at Zhai Luan who was about to die, and then recall Huo Tao who refused to rest in peace. His father is still in good health, his position of power is stable, and he has become the de facto chief minister. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
When Yan Shifan was in an agitated mood, he suddenly heard Qin Dewei shouting to his father from a distance: "Old Yan Ge! I'm letting you go today!"
Then he saw Qin Dewei pointing at Xu Miaojing standing by the Yinghe Gate, and continued to say to Yan Song: "Otherwise, if dozens of imperial sticks are struck down, your only son will either die or be disabled!"
Yan Song raised his hands, cupped his fists and bent down to salute Qin Dewei.
The tacit understanding is that since you are so noble, I will not cause trouble regarding your new appointment of Qin Dewei.
Otherwise, the cabinet could reject the decree, call it "execution," and try to force the emperor to change the imperial decree at a huge cost.
Qin Dewei sighed, Yan Song was pretty good as a father.
Seeing his sixty-one-year-old father showing off to the twenty-two-year-old Qin Dewei, Yan Shifan felt even more humiliated and his heart hurt, so he turned around and walked out the door.
These people who came out of Renshou Palace in Xiyuan returned the same way, crossed the sea by boat, and came to the east bank of Taiye Lake.
For safety reasons, Qin Zhongtang did not ride in the same boat with others, especially Yan Shifan and Lu Bing, to avoid falling into the water. He insisted on riding alone.
Commander Lu Binglu had been silent since he came out of Renshou Palace. He couldn't figure out why his direct criticism of Qin Dewei today had no effect at all. Instead, Qin Dewei was asked to exchange Hanlin's bachelor's degree for Dongge's bachelor's degree?
He wanted to communicate with Yan Shifan, but found that Yan Shifan didn't really want to talk to him.
This finally made Commander Lu have some self-doubt. Maybe he said something wrong in Renshou Palace?
After landing, enter the palace through Xihua Gate, then pass through Youshun Gate, go all the way to Fengtian Gate, then turn south and exit through Meridian Gate, basically leaving the palace.
Yan Shifan suddenly stopped and deliberately let Qin Dewei go to the front.
Looking at Qin Dewei's back not far away, Yan Shifan said to Lu Bing with a fierce look: "Do you want to relieve your anger? There is no one around Qin Dewei at this moment, which is extremely rare. How about we sneak up from behind and beat him up?"
Lu Bing couldn't help but be stunned, you still do politics like this? Isn't this too disrespectful?
Yan Shifan said fiercely: "Otherwise, is there any way to make me understand my thoughts now?"
Experience has proven that he will definitely not be able to defeat Qin Dewei in a duel, and will only be beaten unilaterally by Qin Dewei. But with the help of Lu Bing, he has a good chance of winning.
Lu Bing hesitated and said: "This is a palace confinement. It is a serious crime to beat someone, let alone a bachelor."
What are you, Lu Bing, afraid of? Yan Shifan said angrily: "The edict has not yet been issued, and he is not yet a bachelor of the palace!
What does it mean to beat someone with your hands? This is called fighting between two parties! I will risk my life today, and at worst I will be exiled for three thousand miles!"
As the emperor's brother-in-law, Lu Bing still had the courage to fight, but he was surprised by Yan Shifan's determination and even prepared to be exiled for three thousand miles. He asked again: "Have you thought about it?"
Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Dewei received a great gift from my father just now, and then he called my father frivolously. This is an insult to my father!"
I, Yan Shifan, was not willing to accept my father's humiliation, so I attacked Qin Dewei with hatred. This is out of filial piety and righteousness! I will definitely beat Qin Dewei today to avenge my father!"
Lu Bing: "."
Having said that, sneak attacks and fights from behind suddenly became impassioned and high-spirited. This is how politics is played.
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he walked towards Qin Dewei. Lu Bing had no choice but to follow him first. At worst, it would be a favor. Anyway, he was quite unhappy with Qin Dewei today.
However, he saw Qin Dewei walking in front of him, and suddenly looked up at the sky. Then he did not leave the palace through the Meridian Gate in the south, but walked east towards the Zuoshun Gate.
Inside Zuoshun Gate are Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion. Further east, you can reach the East Palace and Donghua Gate. When Qin Dewei entered Zuoshun Gate, he must have gone to Wenyuan Pavilion, where he works.
Suddenly, Qin Dewei looked at the sky again and started running.
Yan Shifan and Lu Bing were afraid that the sound of running would disturb Qin Dewei, so they did not run at first.
When Qin Dewei started running, Yan Shifan and Lu Bing were caught off guard. Before they could catch up, they watched Qin Dewei disappear in Zuoshunmen.
These two people are neither cabinet ministers nor officials of the East Palace. Without an imperial edict, they are not qualified to enter Zuoshunmen.
So the two of them could only stand outside Zuoshun Gate, looking at each other.
Lu Bing said doubtfully: "Is it possible that Qin Dewei already knows about our plan to attack him?"
Yan Shifan responded: "Impossible! We just had a temporary idea. How could Qin Dewei know about it?"
Lu Bing asked again: "It's getting late and the palace gate will be locked soon. Why does Qin Dewei go to Wenyuan Pavilion for something?"
Yan Shifan said a little irritably: "Don't worry about what he is doing in Wenyuan Pavilion, he will definitely leave the palace soon anyway!
As long as he comes home, he will go through the Meridian Gate and will not go the other way through the Donghua Gate! We will wait outside the Meridian Gate!"
Although Lu Bing was very unhappy with Qin Dewei, he was not as generous as Yan Shifan. He said, "Why don't we just forget about it today?"
Yan Shifan said reluctantly: "Weren't you just worried that the crime of assaulting someone in the palace would be increased by one level? Outside the Meridian Gate is not considered the inner palace, right? Wouldn't it be better?
Besides, there is a Jinyi Guards School on duty outside the Meridian Gate. How can we not listen to you? We are more sure to contain Qin Dewei!"
Yan Shifan is right. Outside the Meridian Gate, there are usually a large number of imperial guards on duty, ready to receive orders and do everything from beating the imperial staff to running errands and delivering messages. Lu Bing and Xu Miaojing both stayed here back then.
post.
Let’s not mention that Qin Dewei, the newly released scholar of Dongge University, returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, and there was a lot of excitement. Yan Shifan and Lu Bing came to the Meridian Gate.
After looking around, Lu Bing called a few close and trustworthy Jinyiwei officers, and then they gathered around Youyemen.
After Qin Dewei came out, he blocked it up and down. Then he handed it over to Young Master Yan. Anyway, Young Master Yan was mentally prepared to be exiled for three thousand miles.
Not long after, as it was approaching the time for the palace door to be locked, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the doorway.
Then he saw Qin Dewei hurriedly walking out of the right door of the Meridian Gate, followed by his entourage Fang Sheren.
Yan Shifan was the first to shout: "Stop!"
He really planned to go all out today, even if he had to risk himself, he still wanted to hit Qin Dewei's prestige!
Qin Dewei is about to become a bachelor of Dongge University. He is far away from Xiyuan's father Yan Ge Lao. Qin Dewei must not let his prestige surpass his father's!
Letting Qin Dewei be beaten by him is the fastest way to achieve results, even if he pays the price of being exiled, it is worth it!
Opportunities must not be missed and never come again. The next opportunity to beat Qin Dewei will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
A foreigner from the Ministry of Industry can exchange money with a bachelor without losing money!
Qin Dewei was startled when he heard the cry and was blocked again. He looked up and asked subconsciously: "What are you doing here?"
Yan Shifan pointed his fingers like a halberd at Qin Dewei and said fiercely: "You insult my father, and you and I are incompatible with each other!"
Qin Dewei was unmoved and said calmly: "What then?"
Yan Shifan slowly rolled up his sleeves and said with a ferocious smile: "Father is humiliated, I will have to repay you with physical pain."
Qin Dewei shouted: "Do you know the consequences?"
Yan Shifan said soberly: "Isn't it just an exile of three thousand miles? I admit it! Even if I don't take action today, I will be exiled by you sooner or later. It's better to fight today and then talk about it!"
Everyone present originally thought that when faced with this situation, Qin Dewei would find an opportunity to escape, or try to say a few soft words, but if that didn't work, he would threaten him with harsh words.
Unexpectedly, Qin Dewei took the initiative to approach Yan Shifan and turned his left face towards Yan Shifan: "Then what are you waiting for? Come and beat me! If you think I have insulted Yan Ge enough, I can just curse a few more words!"
Yan Shifan: "."
When it comes to being suspicious, Yan Shifan is not much worse than Qin Dewei. At this time, when he suddenly saw Qin Dewei uncharacteristically taking the initiative to ask for a fight, Yan Shifan immediately felt unsure.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters!
Qin Dewei frowned, "What? I give you face, but you don't even dare to hit me?"
Yan Shifan was thinking about how to respond so that he could be tough, passive, and decent at the same time.
Suddenly, Qin Dewei stretched out his hand and slapped Yan Shifan on the left side of his face. The unsuspecting Yan Shifan was hit so hard that he spun around half a circle, and his left cheek was burning.
Yan Shifan immediately became anxious. How could you, Qin Dewei, take action first? You didn't even look at who the people around you were!
He called over Lu Bing and other helpers, first held down Qin Dewei, and then fought back himself!
However, Qin Dewei had no intention of retreating and shouted: "As an angel, I have been ordered to leave the palace. Who dares to stop me!"
Fang Sheren, who had been standing behind Qin Dewei, also raised the jade scroll and the rolled-up imperial decree made of special silk with both hands, and said loudly: "If you intercept the imperial edict, kill without mercy!"
Outside the Meridian Gate, no one dares to falsely preach the imperial edict, so what Qin Dewei said must be true.
After hearing this, Lu Bing and the other Jinyiwei officials took a few steps back without realizing it.
The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are also very special personal soldiers, so they have an attitude towards the emperor and the emperor's imperial edicts.
Yan Shifan covered his face and asked subconsciously: "Gaoming? What imperial order?"
Qin Dewei replied proudly: "It is the decree to make Zhai Luan the chief assistant!"
Yan Shifan: "."
There must be something wrong with your mind, Qin Dewei! Why do you think of the imperial edict that has been accumulated for a while now?
So now Qin Dewei is no longer Qin Dewei, but an angel who represents the emperor's will!
While Yan Shifan was stunned, Qin Zhongtang suddenly kicked Yan Shifan to the ground, followed by a violent output of punches and kicks.
Just as Yan Shifan was about to fight back, he heard Qin Dewei shout, "Who dares to intercept the angel and hinder the imperial edict?" So he did not dare to take action again and could only hold his head and be beaten.
Amid the screams, Yan Shifan rolled and crawled from the right door to the main entrance of the Meridian Gate.
He was about to cross the corridor and be beaten to the other side of the Meridian Gate. Moreover, Qin Zhongtang had already untied his gold waistband and held it in his hand like a whip. It seemed that he was about to be beaten instead.
No one of the onlookers in royal robes dared to stop him. After all, someone had just shouted, "Anyone who intercepts the imperial edict will be killed without mercy."
In the end, it was Qin Zhongtang's close confidant Fang Sheren who couldn't bear it anymore. He persuaded Qin Zhongtang behind him: "Don't fight, don't fight. If you fight again, someone will die. Zhongtang, please spare him."
The panting Qin Dewei tied up his golden waist again, and then sighed to Fang Sheren: "I beat him for his own good! Otherwise, if the interception of the imperial edict becomes a fact, he will not only be exiled for three thousand miles?"
Then he ordered Fang Sheren: "Send someone to Xiyuan tomorrow to send a message to Mr. Yan Ge, saying that I have once again spared the only son of their Yan family! Let Mr. Yan Ge issue my new appointment edict as soon as possible!"
After secretly hearing this, Yan Shifan, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, couldn't help but choke up. Life is really too difficult.
Why on earth is this! I’m even planning to pay the price of being exiled for three thousand miles, why can’t I do it!
In addition, what he couldn't figure out was why Qin Dewei hurriedly took Zhai Luan's imperial edict to issue it at this time!
Is this just a coincidence? Why is Qin Dewei always so lucky?
Qin Zhongtang looked at Lu Bing again and said, "I saw clearly just now that there were several official schools occupying the surrounding area surrounding me.
Please Sir Lu, please do some hard work and send their whole family to Yazhou. I don’t want anyone outside the Meridian Gate who dares to be disrespectful to the great scholar."
These are relatively close people, and they were just following orders just now. Lu Bing couldn't bear it and wanted to say something about it.
But Qin Dewei didn't listen at all and said with a sneer: "If you can't bear it, Mr. Lu, then I will send them on their way myself."
Then Qin Dewei ignored Lu Bing and started arranging the work of delivering the order while it was still not completely dark.
There are established routines for this kind of thing. The officers on duty outside the Meridian Gate are all well-trained, so there is no need to think twice.
First, more than 20 people were selected from other official schools as a guard of honor. Then they moved the caiyu out of the West Palace room and placed the imperial edict in the caiyu.
At the same time, Qin Dewei ordered an official school to set off first and rush to Zhai Luan's residence to report the news in advance so that Zhai Luan could be prepared to receive the order.
