Under Qin Zhongtang's slogan of "removing disadvantages and creating advantages" and after personally visiting the front line for forced guidance, various ministries had to take action and began to formulate "various" plans.
Most people are used to a step-by-step life, and are used to a life where the work mainly consists of writing articles and sending and receiving official documents, but they really can't stop Qin Zhongtang's high pressure.
Even Mr. Yan Ge, who had high hopes from some people, seemed to lie down without any movement.
And the key point is that the resignation notices of various yamen officials are still in the hands of Qin Zhongtang. We are in a stage where every day is not working, so what can we do to resist Qin Zhongtang?
The only thing these senior officials who are resigning from office can do is wait for the court's decree at home, and they are not even qualified to file a memorial.
Suppose someone sends a message to the emperor, but the emperor has been very autistic recently and rarely sees outsiders. It is difficult to find anyone who can even send a message to the emperor.
Those who could barely meet the emperor, such as Eunuch Qin of Dongchang, Zhenren Tao, etc., were not easily entrusted.
Therefore, during this period of time, after accidental and inevitable factors were superimposed, Qin Zhongtang seemed to have encountered a delicate situation that no one could control, so he had the ambition to promote "removing disadvantages and creating advantages".
Under high pressure, initial results were achieved. Most of the records submitted by various yamen contained what Qin Zhongtang wanted to see.
After that, these high officials of the fourth rank and above were reinstated one by one.
It is impossible for Qin Dewei to really get rid of everyone, so it is already very good to be able to do this step by step.
This morning, eunuch Qin came to Renshou Palace as usual to pay his respects.
Now that his wife has moved to Xiyuan, he is closer to the emperor again, and his heart is much more stable.
Among the eunuchs, Eunuch Qin was the first to arrive at Renshou Palace every day, and his happiness index was greatly improved.
Of course, Emperor Jiajing is currently in a special stage of mental irritability and may not receive him every day, but Eunuch Qin still comes early every day to wait outside the gate of Renshou Palace.
While waiting outside the palace gate today, Eunuch Qin chatted with Xu Miaojing, who was on duty, and listened to some reports from Xu Miaojing.
After much hesitation, Xu Miaojing suddenly lowered her voice and said to Eunuch Qin: "The emperor has been a little too aggressive in his treatment of the maids recently. God has a good nature. If the factory owner sees the emperor, if there is a suitable opportunity, he might as well tactfully dissuade him."
In fact, "excessive" is a euphemism. Killing a few people was indeed "excessive" to the emperor.
Eunuch Qin's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Xu Miaojing and asked softly: "How could you have such an idea?"
To dissuade the emperor, to put it nicely is called "dissuasion", but in the ears of the emperor, it is tantamount to accusation!
How could he, Eunuch Qin, do such a "stupid thing" that actively offends the emperor?
Throughout history, there are many emperors who are hundreds of times more cruel and unscrupulous. Where did Emperor Jiajing go? He abused his palace maids and killed a few people without affecting the overall situation of the world!
Before Xu Miaojing could answer, Eunuch Qin scolded him again: "If you have the idea of dissuading me, it means you are not suitable to be on duty in the palace!"
Xu Miaojing quickly replied: "This is what my brother-in-law Qin Zhongtang said."
"Why are you so confused?" Eunuch Qin frowned and said, he did not expect that it was Qin Dewei who made the request.
He thought Qin Dewei was already a mature politician, but he didn't expect that he would make such a childish mistake.
Is it appropriate for a minister to interfere with the affairs of the inner palace? Why do you think you are qualified to dissuade the emperor?
Xu Miaojing explained: "My brother-in-law means that without offending the emperor, I don't know if there is any euphemism that I can use."
Eunuch Qin taught him a lesson: "There is no such thing as euphemism, there is only the difference between saying something and not saying it. As long as you speak to the emperor, there is no euphemism!"
Then Eunuch Qin asked: "How did Qin Dewei know what happened in Renshou Palace? Did you tell him?"
Seeing that Xu Miaojing admitted it, Eunuch Qin sighed: "In the future, it's okay for us to know about such things, but it's better not to tell Qin Dewei."
Xu Miaojing had no choice but to humbly accept the instruction.
After the two of them had finished talking, it was getting late. Eunuch Qin expected that he would not be summoned today, but when he was about to leave, he saw the young eunuch Feng Bao emerging from the Renshou Palace and walking quickly outside.
Eunuch Qin stopped Feng Bao and asked, "Why are you in such a panic?"
Feng Bao replied: "I was ordered to call the imperial doctor."
Eunuch Qin asked very sensitively: "Who are you calling the imperial doctor? And why?"
To be treated like an imperial doctor, it must be because something happened to a palace maid, either the emperor or a concubine. I couldn't help but think that Eunuch Qin was insensitive.
Feng Bao replied vaguely: "Concubine Ning, the Queen, was injured, so she asked the imperial doctor to treat her."
Eunuch Qin waved his hand and let Feng Bao go, sighing softly in his heart. This was a bit too much.
Then how could Wang Ningbin, who was perfectly fine, be injured? This is another thing that we don’t dare to think about, and we don’t dare to ask.
That night it was Xu Miaojing's turn to work the night shift. After the imperial city gate was locked, Xu Miaojing continued to guard outside Renshou Palace with a group of bannermen.
If Emperor Jiajing lived in the Qianqing Palace normally, there wouldn't be so many people with authority figures within a few hundred meters around him after nightfall.
The emperor's personal attendants were the maids, the concubines, and the eunuchs on the outside. There were imperial guards guarding the gate until outside the Meridian Gate.
But this is Xiyuan Renshou Palace. The overall layout is much more relaxed than the palace, and it is not as tense as the palace.
Even the Wuyi Hall next to the Renshou Palace has ministers staying overnight, and it is not surprising that there are officers from the Imperial Guard School on duty outside the palace gate patrolling.
Seeing that it was early in the morning, it seemed that another uneventful and uneventful night was about to pass.
Xu Miaojing had begun to feel sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
At this moment, the small door of Renshou Palace suddenly opened from the inside, and a palace maid stood behind the doorway, waving fiercely to Xu Miaojing.
Xu Miaojing was very surprised. He had guarded the gate of Renshou Palace for so long, but he had never seen a palace maid come out to greet anyone.
As I walked over, I heard the palace maid panting and saying hurriedly: "Go and ask for the imperial doctor! Please ask for the eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the ceremonial department!"
Xu Miaojing couldn't understand the meaning of this, so she asked the imperial doctor to understand. It was not uncommon for people in the palace to have headaches, brain fever, three long and two short.
What does it mean to invite eunuch Zhang here in the early morning when no one is around?
Besides, it's against the rules to invite someone like this! You can't have Xu Miaojing running errands for just one word from the palace maid?
So after Xu Miaojing came closer, she clasped her fists in a salute and politely declined: "I'm sorry to obey, but is there an edict from His Majesty?"
The palace maid said nothing more, turned around and hurried back to the palace.
Even Xu Miaojing felt something was wrong at this time and frowned.
Not long after, the palace door opened again, and this time a woman in gorgeous clothes appeared. Xu Miaojing subconsciously guessed whether she was a queen or a concubine.
A female official shouted from the side: "Queen Fang is here, who is the leader outside? Come forward and talk!"
Xu Miaojing was shocked immediately. She didn't expect that the woman she saw was Queen Fang!
It was still dark this early in the morning, so why did Empress Fang completely ignore etiquette and appear in front of outsiders? What happened in Renshou Palace?
I haven't dared to write for a long time, but I finally have to write this paragraph. I will brew up my emotions and try to finish it in one breath tomorrow.
