Eunuch Qin's expression was very clear. Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Qin Zhongtang all had their own selfish motives, but they were just from different angles.
Your Majesty, please open your eyes and see, he is the only one who is the most loyal, pure, fair and selfless person to the Emperor!
After stepping on Qin Dewei unexpectedly, Eunuch Qin felt refreshed, his thoughts were clear, his body was comfortable, and he found Yan Song again, "I ask again, what does Mr. Yan Ge think of Duan Chaoyong's advice?
If the previous words were just words, just listen to them, but now that the East Palace is involved, Mr. Yange can’t continue to turn a blind eye, right?"
Now Qin Dewei understands why eunuch Qin always clings to Yan Ge.
Because with great power comes greater responsibility. As a cabinet minister, Mr. Yan Ge has an "obligation" to express his stance on such political issues, otherwise he will be blatantly doing nothing.
And a character like Lu Bing, who has little political weight, has no corresponding political responsibilities at all. Of course, he has no political obligations and can completely pretend to be dead.
Moreover, Qin Dewei also discovered that Eunuch Qin cleverly changed a concept. Duan Chao's original intention in using Jinyan was for "immortality", which was what impressed Emperor Jiajing.
However, the eunuch Qin successfully connected Duan Chao's Jinyan with the Eastern Palace Shangshu. Unknowingly, under the subtle influence of everyone, Duan Chaoyong's original intention and motive became "the prince supervising the country".
Didn't you see that just now Emperor Jiajing said, "What is Duan Chaoyong's crime?" But now he doesn't stop criticism at all? This shows that the suspicious emperor has begun to murmur in his heart, let alone ordinary people.
So Yan Song, who had no retreat, sighed helplessly. Even though he was mentally strong, he felt exhausted at this time.
It's like this again! As long as you meet someone named Qin, even the simplest plan will go wrong!
This time it was already very simple. They just took advantage of the opportunity of the East Palace officials to commit suicide, then carried out a general purge and replaced them with their own people.
Moreover, the strong enemy Qin Dewei has expressed his complete lack of interest in the East Palace several times before, so this plan should not be difficult.
But who knew that Qin Dewei would pull Duan Chaoyong out, become a big variable, and even cause some tricks.
After that, the two people named Qin argued and argued with each other, making the situation very complicated, causing themselves to focus on one thing and not the other, and loopholes appeared.
Facing Eunuch Qin's questioning, Mr. Yan Ge first used a tactic to delay the attack and asked: "Eunuch Qin, you always ask me, what do you think of Duan Chaoyong's advice?"
Eunuch Qin said with a smile: "Another cabinet minister just said that we should be self-aware as human beings. Dongchang's responsibilities are not in government affairs, nor in counseling. We should not participate in discussions here!"
Yan Song still maintained his "impeccable" speech style: "Duan Chao's speech is to advise the emperor. Only the emperor can decide how to treat it. We and other ministers only need to listen to the emperor's holy judgment!"
Because of a big loophole, Yan Song was in a very passive state, unable to counterattack at all and could only take a defensive stance.
Just when everyone thought that Eunuch Qin would continue to interrogate Mr. Yan Ge, he suddenly turned to Lu Bing and said: "Just now when Qin Dewei accused Duan Chaoyong of having ulterior motives, you were the only one who really defended Duan Chaoyong. You even once said that you admired Duan Chaoyong.
achievement."
Lu Bing only felt that he was a fool. Compared with Yan Song, what he just said was completely different.
When Eunuch Qin came to find him, it was difficult to open a gap from Yan Song, so he tried on his own side.
Then Eunuch Qin continued to say to Lu Bing: "So you probably agree with Duan Chaoyong's proposal. Do you also look forward to the prince overseeing the country?"
Lu Bing was startled. You, Eunuch Qin, can say whatever you want, but you cannot let the emperor think nonsense! He quickly denied it and said, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Eunuch Qin asked Lu Bing in confusion: "Then it's hard for me to understand. Why do you and Mr. Yan Ge favor Duan Chaoyong together?"
Yan Song almost cursed, "Who is on horseback with Lu Bing?" But thinking of his situation, he could only hold back for the time being and continue to pretend to be low-key.
Lu Bing was speechless. He couldn't tell the real reason. He wanted to make up false reasons but didn't have the quick wit.
Seeing Lu Bing being forced into silence by Eunuch Qin, Qin Dewei felt very uncomfortable, as if his toy had been taken away.
Obviously Lu Bing belonged to him, Qin Dewei, at first, but Eunuch Qin’s target was Yan Song!
Eunuch Qin, who had the upper hand, sneered and said: "As the saying goes, if there is no profit, you can't afford it early, and people's hearts cannot escape the shackles of fame and power!
I don’t believe it anymore, you Yan Song and Lu Bingzhen are really public-spirited, that’s why they teamed up to protect Duan Chaoyong!”
Just like a proof question, Eunuch Qin finished the final argument.
In fact, these last few words were said by the Qin eunuch to Emperor Jiajing. Duan Chaoyong's intentions are very suspicious. From the cabinet to the guards, everyone supports Duan Chaoyong. It's up to you, the emperor.
As a loyal admiral of Dongchang, he faithfully fulfilled his obligations and sniffed out and pointed out the evildoers for the emperor.
Qin Dewei, who had been suppressed for so long today, had to admire him. Eunuch Qin clearly had black materials for the Duan Dynasty, but he never used them.
He always relies on his true skills to frame and frame his enemies. Are you planning to use the dark materials at a more critical moment?
According to the suspicious character of Emperor Jiajing, he would not be polite if he found any doubts, especially when Duan Chaoyong was suspected of being the "Prince Supervising the Country".
But Emperor Jiajing, who had always been impulsive, hesitated now. The main reason was that Duan Chao used seemingly superb immortal skills to refine immortal weapons for worship, and he seemed to have the magic of immortality.
Talents are so rare that Emperor Jiajing was reluctant to part with them.
Eunuch Qin frowned. If the snake survives, there will be endless troubles. Do you want to throw out the black materials used by Duan Chao here?
But this timing is not very good. It would be too deliberate to bring out the black material at this time, as if it had been deliberately hidden to watch the joke.
Qin Dewei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came out of the queue and finally got ahead of eunuch Qin, and said to Emperor Jiajing:
"Just now, His Majesty Yuyin said, what crime did Duan Chaoyong have? I also want to say something right at this time. How can Zhenren Tao, who has little contact with the courtiers, be guilty? He was criticized by Mr. Lu just now for nothing!"
Among the people present, except for Lu Bing, who was not a shrewd person, all their expressions suddenly changed.
It's true that a biting dog never barks. Qin Dewei didn't bark much today, but when he suddenly bites people, he is the most vicious!
Just these two sentences have several meanings!
The first meaning is that the real purpose of Yan Song, Lu Bing and others in praising Duan Chaoyong is not to look at your majesty’s face, but perhaps to want Duan Chaoyong to replace Tao Zhongwen as the national advisor!
Otherwise, if there is no profit, it will not be early. What other benefits can impress Yan Song, who is at the quasi-chief and assistant level?
The second meaning is that Lu Bing suddenly mentioned Tao Zhongwen just now, which is a subconscious manifestation of the above psychological state!
The third meaning is that Tao Zhongwen is not keen on politics, but Duan Chaoyong is keen on politics. Do you really hope that the Taoist priests who accompany you to cultivate immortality will gain political power? Do you really encourage such a restless Taoist priest like Duan Chaoyong?
The fourth meaning is, comparing Tao Zhongwen and Duan Chaoyong, who is the best choice for your Majesty to keep? Are you really so relieved about Duan Chaoyong?
Your Majesty, what crime did Duan Chaoyong have? But couldn't Tao Zhongwen be worthy of it?
Emperor Jiajing suddenly pointed at the Qin eunuch and issued a difficult decree: "Send Duan Chaoyong to prison for interrogation!"
Lu Bing was not asked to handle it directly, but Eunuch Qin was asked to handle it. This speaks volumes about his attitude.
Although Eunuch Qin got the result he wanted, he felt a little unhappy. He had worked hard for a whole game, but in the end his limelight was stolen by others! Little bastard!
