Qin Dewei suddenly stood on a moral high ground and accused Yan Song and Zhai Luan of possibly joining forces again, successfully arousing everyone's memory of the original "Heavenly Sun Zhaozhao".
Zhai Luan was also helpless about this. He knew that although Qin Dewei kept silent about the frame-up after returning to Beijing from Datong, this was not because Qin Dewei was generous, but because he could not gain more benefits by mentioning this matter at that time.
.
If the right time comes, Qin Dewei will definitely take advantage of being framed, and it happened today.
After Qin Dewei scolded Yan Song, he then told Emperor Jiajing: "Zhai Luan asked you to guard Wenyuan Pavilion. Yan Song supports this. If your Majesty also agrees, I will naturally not dare to disobey the holy order."
At that time, as a junior figure, I really have no other choice but to assist Zhai Luan, and both Wenyuan Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Department will respect Zhai Luan!"
Qin Dewei's words were another U-turn. Just now he was reprimanding Yan Song and Zhai Luan, and now he suddenly said that he could support Zhai Luan. Most people still couldn't figure out Qin Dewei's intentions, and they could only keep the clouds in the dark.
Zhai Luan hoped that Qin Dewei's words were true, but unfortunately he also knew that it would not be that simple.
Of course, these words of Qin Zhongtang were not meant for most people to hear. It would be enough for Emperor Jiajing to understand their meaning.
In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, the unpopular Zhai Luan was a transitional figure who would be replaced sooner or later, so he could not be given too much power to avoid being too big to replace him in the future.
Therefore, Qin Dewei's last words just now hinted at the consequences of Zhai Luan's arrival at Wenyuan Pavilion.
At the same time, this is also meant for Yan Song. If you, Yan Song, want to kill Zhai Luan and become the first assistant, you invite Zhai Luan to Wuyi Hall to do it yourself. Don't expect Qin Dewei to help kill Zhai Luan!
Emperor Jiajing was not very patient. After seeing enough, he no longer wanted to dwell on this issue. He finally made the final decision: "Zhai Luan enters the Zhiwuyi Palace!"
Such a new political structure in the inner court has been formally formed, but no one knows how long it will last.
The puppet chief assistant, Zhai Luan, a bachelor of Jinshen Palace, and the powerful second assistant, Yan Song, a bachelor of Wuying Palace, were on duty at Wuyi Hall in Xiyuan and presided over the work of the cabinet;
However, Qin Dewei, a bachelor of Dongge who did not participate in aircraft maintenance, was on duty at Wenyuan Pavilion and presided over the work of the Military Aircraft Department.
Just like the old tradition in the past, the court after the turmoil has ended will generally enter a relatively stable period temporarily.
The last quarter of the 19th year of Jiajing is slowly approaching. Officials of the Ming Dynasty, who have few holidays throughout the year, have begun to look forward to winter leisure and New Year holidays.
Next year is the year of the imperial examination, and there will be a general examination in the spring. Many candidates have come to the capital before the year to prepare for the general examination after the spring.
Especially for those traveling along the canal, they must take advantage of the time when the northern canal is not frozen to reach the capital in a hurry.
Qin Dewei's Nanzhili disciples, Gui Youguang and Wu Chengen are already in the mansion.
The rest, He Liangjun, Wang Fengyuan and others, after three years of making waves in Nanjing, came to the capital again this time to try their luck.
In the Nanzhili Gang who came to the capital with their seniors, the most important focus figure is actually Qin Zhongtang's brother-in-law Jiao Wenjie.
While staying overnight in Tongzhou, He Liangjun asked Jiao Wenjie: "After we enter the city, we will stay in the guild hall temporarily, and then we will look for a rental house. Where will you stay?"
As a close relative of Jiao Wenjie, he could certainly live in the Qin Mansion, so He Liangjun asked this question.
But after Jiao Wenjie thought for a while, he replied: "I'm with you." Wang Fengyuan said: "Have ambition!"
As Qin Zhongtang's brother-in-law, he wanted to live outside. He obviously wanted to avoid suspicion and didn't want others to pay too much attention to his relationship with Qin Zhongtang. In other words, it could also be explained that he didn't want to benefit from favoritism.
Of course, given Qin Zhongtang's overly resounding reputation, being a close relative of Qin Zhongtang brings both opportunities and risks. It may be safer to keep a low profile.
The next day, after the three of them entered the capital through Chongwen Gate, they first sought accommodation at the Jinling Guild Hall, and then headed non-stop to visit the Qin Mansion in Wugong Alley, Xicheng.
Even if Jiao Wenjie wanted to keep a low profile, he still had to follow the basic etiquette of visiting the pier, so he went along with him.
With the three of them arranged, they naturally entered the Qin Mansion smoothly and sat in the outer study. In the same year as the provincial examination, Wu Chengen and Gui Youguang both came out to talk together.
Today, Qin Zhongtang is a very busy man. He is usually away from home during the day. Today, he is arranging winter preparedness matters for border towns at the military aircraft office.
As we all know, the precautions against Northern invaders generally include "preventing autumn" and "preventing winter", which means that the probability of Northern invaders being invaded is greatest in these two seasons.
However, it may be easier to "prevent winter" this year. The most arrogant Anda force in the northern barbarians has been destroyed, and they probably have no intention of another southern invasion.
It wasn't until it got dark that Qin Zhongtang dragged his tired body back home and sat in the study to meet with his disciples and old friends.
During the break before the dinner, He Liangjun asked: "Teacher, can we win this time?"
Qin Dewei was speechless, "Everything in the examination room has a certain number! How can I know whether you can win or not?"
In fact, Qin Zhongtang originally wanted to say "it depends on hard work and talent", but after thinking about his own experience in the imperial examination, he changed it to "everything is determined".
He Liangjun laughed "hehe" a few times and said very meaningfully: "Teacher, as a bachelor of Dongge University, do you still know whether we can win?"
The subtext is actually, teacher, do you want us to win? As long as you want, we will naturally win.
Qin Zhongtang immediately lowered his face and yelled loudly: "In the national recruitment ceremony, justice must be the first priority!
Since you are my disciples, naturally you should strictly discipline yourself and make progress with your talents and articles! How can you pursue other heretics diligently?"
All the disciples lamented one after another, no wonder it is said that living in the transference qi and nourishing the transference body, Teacher Qin seems to have become much more righteous since he was on duty at the center, and he actually started to deny himself in the past.
The main reason is that Qin Zhongtang, who has understood everything, can only bear the secrets by himself. He understands very well that for the sake of political security, it is best not to cheat in this subject!
The two silly sons of Zhai Shoufu's family both "enlightened" and passed the provincial examination this year, which probably means that Yan Song is already making plans.
When these two silly sons both win Jinshi next year, it will be the time when Yan Song launches a general attack on Zhai, the chief minister, in order to seize the throne of chief minister.
If Chief Assistant Zhai is overthrown on charges of fraud, and Qin Zhongtang is also suspected of fraud, Yan Song will definitely take the opportunity to drag Qin Zhongtang into trouble!
Even though Qin Zhongtang was the emperor's favorite, under the same suspicion of fraud, the emperor could not punish Zhai Luan and let Qin Zhongtang go, because he would not be able to answer the public opinion.
So in this exam, it's best to be honest and just watch the dog bite the dog instead of wading into muddy waters.
While the teachers and students of Qin Mansion were having a dinner, Xu Miaojing also came over to visit her sister and joined the dinner by the way.
Qin Dewei casually asked Xu Miaojing: "How is Lu Bing these days?"
Xu Miaojing replied: "There is nothing special. He is just concentrating on building his Tiqi. I heard that he has reported to the emperor that the ruins of Qingshou Temple will be used as a camp, and he has initially recruited two to three hundred warriors."
Qin Dewei declined to comment after hearing this, but Xu Miaojing asked again: "When exactly did you say the time was? Or what on earth are you waiting for?"
Qin Dewei asked, "Is this what Eunuch Qin asked you to ask?"
Xu Miaojing nodded first, and then added: "This is what I want to know too."
Qin Dewei sighed: "I know what some people are waiting for, but it is not easy for a minister to say it."
Xu Miaojing was helpless by this pretense, and said again: "The factory boss told me that I must ask the answer, otherwise I will not go back to the East Factory!"
Qin Dewei had no choice but to call Xu Miaojing in front of him and whispered a few words so that no one else could hear.
Xu Miaojing was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect this kind of answer.
After asking the answer, Xu Miaojing went home to rest. The next morning, she came to Dongchang with the answer and met Eunuch Qin.
Originally, Xu Miaojing thought that Eunuch Qin had gone to Renshou Palace to report daily information as usual and had to wait for more than an hour.
As a result, he found that Eunuch Qin was sitting in the courtroom and had not gone anywhere this morning.
When Xu Miaojing was in the court, several Dongchang stalls were reporting matters to Eunuch Qin.
Xu Miaojing was not an "outsider" either. After listening for a while, she suddenly realized that it turned out that Lu Bing formed Tiqi and poached many elite soldiers from these stall owners to force them over.
So these big stall owners came together in the morning, complained to the factory owner, and asked the factory owner to make the decision.
Eunuch Qin listened to the complaint expressionlessly, and after catching a glimpse of Xu Miaojing, he casually waved his hands to the stalls and said, "You guys go down first, I have my own ideas!"
After everyone else had left, Eunuch Qin lowered his face and shouted to Xu Miaojing: "When will the so-called timing wait? Are you playing tricks on me?"
Xu Miaojing quickly replied: "I went to ask my brother-in-law last night, and looking at the recent situation, it seems that the time has come!"
Eunuch Qin frowned and said, "Be clear! What is the timing?"
Xu Miaojing didn't have the courage to say it directly, so she only asked Eunuch Qin: "Why didn't the factory owner go to Xiyuan this morning?"
Eunuch Qin did not hide anything and replied: "There is news from the palace that the emperor's dragon body is not in good health, so he did not want to see me!"
In fact, anyone who is familiar with Emperor Jiajing will know that Emperor Jiajing will definitely fall ill several times during the winter and spring seasons. This happens every year, and he has long been used to it.
Xu Miaojing took advantage of the situation and replied: "This is because the opportunity is approaching."
Eunuch Qin was stunned, what kind of opportunity is this?
His main purpose is to attack Lu Bing and restore Dongchang's majesty without arousing the emperor's suspicion, but what does the emperor's illness have to do with suppressing Lu Bing?
Qin Dewei's original words to Xu Miaojing were: As long as the emperor gets sick, the opportunity will naturally appear, and wait for another big event!
Xu Miaojing, who was already quite familiar with her brother-in-law, couldn't think of why the answer was like this.
Eunuch Qin thought for a while, gritted his teeth and ordered Xu Miaojing: "Now that the matter is over, I will trust Qin Dewei again!
If you misunderstand me, I will try my best to help Yan Song from now on, don’t say it’s unforeseen!”
Commander Lu Binglu, who was being watched by Eunuch Qin, was in high spirits. Surrounded by dozens of police officers, he inspected the construction site of the Tiqi camp today.
With a base and the Tiqi organization as its minions, in the future we can throw off the shackles of Dongchang and Jinyiwei and become an independent force.
This business essentially relies on those with big fists to have the final say. As long as they are strong enough, they can overwhelm the old yamen and become the most powerful spy organization!
The above is the experience of the seniors. Yongle Chaodong Factory surpassed Jinyiwei, and Chenghua Chaoxi Factory surpassed Dongchang. This is the way.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, the Tiqi formed by themselves should also become the trendsetter of the times!
Anyway, in the eyes of the emperor, it doesn't matter what organization acts as a minion, as long as it can get things done!
When thinking about the future, Commander Lu actually did a lot of reflection.
I may have been too hasty in getting involved in politics before, and I was not strong enough. To get involved in politics too early was simply to depend on the weather.
So after suffering a political setback, I had absolutely no power to fight back. I didn't even have the ability to fight back. I could only watch Qin continue to be arrogant and domineering!
Therefore, it is not too late to participate in politics after you have become powerful enough. Just like Emperor Gao's strategy - build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king.
Having removed the burden of failure, Commander Lu felt relaxed all over and his steps became brisk.
"The progress is a bit slow! Could it be that you are lazy!" Commander Lu scolded the leader of the craftsmen with dissatisfaction, "Or do you dare to underestimate my Tiqi camp and refuse to build it with all your heart?"
The leader of the craftsmen replied: "The construction of the capital's government offices is under the direct control of the Camping and Repair Department of the Ministry of Industry. However, Master Wailang Yan, a member of the Camping and Repair Department, has been unable to take charge of the affairs recently, and the weather is getting colder, so it has been slow."
Lu Bing: "."
Qin Dewei was indeed a cunning and insidious person. He deliberately forced Yan Shifan to recuperate at home in order to slow down the construction progress of his Tiqi base!
It is true that Yan Shifan completely controlled the Camping and Maintenance Department in order to make money and did not delegate any power to others. This resulted in the absence of Yan Shifan and no one in the Camping and Maintenance Department took charge.
Thinking of this, Lu Bing turned around and walked out. At the same time, he ordered his entourage: "Get your horses ready and go to Yan's Mansion! Visit Yan Donglou!"
When Lu Bing arrived at Yan's Mansion, he was led to the study, but found that he was not the only guest in the study.
Yan Shifan was sitting on a soft couch, with several concubines waiting on him.
He pointed to another guest and introduced to Lu Bing: "This is Luo Hongxian, the number one scholar in the eighth year of Jiajing. We are a great talent in Jiangxi. He is currently in Zhan Shifu."
After Luo Hongxian left, Yan Shifan said to Lu Bing: "You came just in time! I was about to reveal to you that a large number of people in Zhan Shifu have ulterior motives, including Luo Hongxian!"
Lu Bing was dumbfounded. You, Yan Shifan, had called Luo Hongxian brothers just now. How come you reported Luo Hongxian to him in the blink of an eye?
Don't talk about Qin Dewei's character from now on. Your character, Yan Shifan, is worse than Qin Dewei in this operation.
Yan Shifan said impassionedly: "In the face of righteousness, there is no need to care about feelings! Now His Majesty is just a little uneasy, and these people actually want to support the crown prince's fortune!"
Commander Lu Binglu was an absolute "royalist" on the political spectrum. Without Emperor Jiajing, Commander Lu would be nothing.
Therefore, Yan Shifan's words successfully attracted Commander Lu and said angrily: "What on earth do these restless people want to do, and how dare they do such arrogant things!"
This major stage has come to an end. After writing the end of this major stage, it will be equivalent to a new beginning. Help me think about what else was missed in the old stage. Sometimes there are so many aspects involved that I have forgotten it.
