Seeing that Qin Dewei was not "excited" at all by the word "biological father", Eunuch Qin did not continue to discuss the issue of whether he was his biological father.
I can only curse secretly, these civil servants care less about family ties than eunuchs!
Anyway, the relationship has been brought closer through this topic, and a certain goal has been achieved. Eunuch Qin looked up at the height of the sun again and urged:
"I think other ministers and ministers will arrive soon. You don't have much time to think about it. Now is your last chance to make a choice on how to do it.
And aren't you vigorously promoting the elimination of disadvantages and the improvement of advantages? I can conclude that if the emperor were still alive, after tasting the benefits in the early stage, he might strongly support you.
But as time goes by, you will find that it will become more and more difficult for you to do things, and the emperor's support for you will become less and less. If you are not lucky, you will definitely give up halfway and waste all your efforts.
If the new emperor takes over the throne at a young age, it will be a different story. When everyone from the queen mother to the emperor relies on you, it will be easier for you to reform the bad government. This is also the best opportunity for you to display your political opinions and ambitions."
Both sides understand that for politicians, sometimes political ambitions and political interests are more important than recognition of participation, and the ability to truly reach political consensus is more effective than recognition of participation.
"Don't think about it! I don't agree with taking action!" Qin Dewei said firmly.
Eunuch Qin said meaningfully: "Why, is it because you don't believe me? Haven't you ever thought about why I dare to say such treasonous words in front of you?
It’s not because I’m confident that you won’t pursue these words, I can make you turn a deaf ear to those rebellious words!”
Although it was not stated explicitly again, the connotation revealed by these few sentences is nothing more than "I am your father, so I dare to say anything."
Qin Dewei did not bother with the issue that Eunuch Qin always wanted to take part in him, and said: "First of all, this is a person who may have made many mistakes, but he is pretty good to me. He even treats me differently in the eyes of others."
virtuous person
I can't do it, and I admit that I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. After all, humans are different from shameless beasts! It's too despicable to use this kind of undermining method to achieve your goal!"
Eunuch Zou, who had been encouraging Qin Dewei just now, didn't know whether it was okay or not and continued to listen.
Qin Dewei added: "Secondly, you keep saying this is a good opportunity for me, but everything has pros and cons, pros and cons, can't you think of the other side of the matter?
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you don’t want others to know, don’t do anything except yourself!
Many people in the palace knew that the emperor was still alive, but if the emperor died immediately after I arrived at the palace, what would others think?
Especially now that we are all our own people inside and outside, and equal authority means responsibility. In this case, if the emperor dies, what will others think?
Can you imagine that I benefited a lot after the emperor's death, which others couldn't think of? There are many smart people in the court who would even take the initiative to help me take the blame and connect me with the emperor's death!
If I am accused of regicide, in the long run, it will be very harmful to my personal situation and reputation, and it will be a reason to overthrow me at any time.
How many people like this in the history books can die a good death? If you don’t have the power to dominate the world and the determination to change the dynasty, don’t bear this kind of infamy!”
Qin Dewei still has some reasons that he did not say. As a time traveler, although he knows that as time goes by, the original history will become more and more unrecognizable, and even the general trend will be changed by the butterfly effect.
However, Qin Dewei still hopes that these changes will come as late as possible. He is accustomed to relying on foresight and always has some small fears about the uncertain future.
Killing the Jiajing Emperor yourself at this time would be equivalent to completely changing the direction of history. Although it seems to be an advantage in the short term, a large part of the foresight advantage will be lost.
How can it be so easy for a person to overcome his unclear fear about the future and do something that goes against his own moral sense?
Hold on, don't wave!
The city's stock affairs department: Tiandian No. 1 is the final rate of Dalengli's big seats.
After listening to Qin Dewei's words, Eunuch Qin suddenly changed his expression. He was no longer the cold attitude just now, but gave Qin Dewei a thumbs up:
"Very good, I'm very pleased! I was also worried that you were eager for quick success and quick gain.
You are ruthless and unscrupulous, but it seems you are not that kind of person."
Qin Dewei: "."
Eunuch Qin sighed: "Although I am really your father, at this time and in this situation, I can't easily trust you! So I just used the words of a tiger and a wolf to find out."
Qin Dewei did not comment. Again, every word Eunuch Qin said could not be easily believed.
Who knows whether what Eunuch Qin just said was true, or whether he changed his story and pretended to be a test when the opportunity came up?
Who knows where Eunuch Qin got the news and obtained benefits by pretending to be his biological father?
He only said sarcastically: "Smug, self-righteous conspiracies are never a long-term solution. Maybe you eunuchs are used to acting secretly and unscrupulously, but after all, it is not the right way! I believe that if a person wants something, he should get it openly!"
Are you upright? Eunuch Qin was a little surprised. What kind of spirit can support you, Qin Dewei, to say these things? Do you civil servants rely on their reputation to get promoted?
Qin Dewei added: "What I have always relied on is, of course, upright conspiracy, and I have never disdained the use of dirty tricks such as assassination!"
Eunuch Qin sighed: "Just think about it. The choice is yours. No matter which path you choose, I will support you.
So what are you going to do in the end? Doing good deeds without leaving a name is like walking at night in brocade clothes. If your loyalty to the emperor is not known to others, wouldn't it be in vain? "
"Let everything take its course! As a human being, you must be worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of your heart!" Qin Dewei replied.
But the last sentence was too beautiful, and even a bit false, which made Eunuch Qin a little suspicious.
He always felt that Qin Dewei was hiding something from him, so he subconsciously told lies and empty lies!
This made Eunuch Qin feel very unhappy. Qin Dewei was still hiding it and guarding him.
He then added: "Whether you believe it or not, when you get home you can confirm with your parents' house whether your biological father is."
Qin Dewei replied: "No need to ask. In fact, I really have no intention of recognizing my father. The fewer people who know about your intention to be my father, the better."
Eunuch Qin had a complicated mood and said with a forced smile: "I'm very pleased. It seems that you are a very qualified politician, so I'm relieved."
Eunuchs lack family affection, but Qin Dewei does not.
For people who hang out in temples, scenes of loving father and filial piety, touching blood, are not that easy to appear.
As the sun rose, the abnormal situation at Renshou Palace finally attracted more people's attention.
Among the civil and military ministers who entered Wuyi Palace, the first person to discover the problem was Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan.
Cui Marquis had a distant relative who was on duty at the Jinyi Guards. He happened to be on duty outside the Renshou Palace last night. Finding an opportunity, the relative went to the Wuyi Palace and reported the news to Cui Yuan.
After Cui Yuan got the news, he felt that the stakes were too high and he couldn't bear it, so he didn't dare to master it, so he called up Yan Song, the old man in the ruling cabinet who was also in Wuyi Hall.
Mr. Yan Ge asked in shock: "Something happened at Renshou Palace? It's very possible that something happened to the emperor?"
"It seems so, and it's not a trivial matter!" Cui Yuan analyzed: "Someone just said that Qin Dewei arrived earlier and broke in without permission!"
Qin Dewei's behavior is very revealing. If something terrible had not happened, Qin Dewei would not have dared to break into Renshou Palace without permission even if he had great courage.
Hearing that Qin Dewei had taken the lead again, Mr. Yan Ge suddenly lost interest and said casually: "Then let's go visit the emperor!"
At that time, there were five civil and military ministers who entered the Zhiwuyi Hall. In addition to Yan Ge Lao and Jingshan Marquis Cui Yuan, there were also the first assistant Zhai Luan, the Minister of Rites Zhang Chao, and the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Xizhong.
When the ministers of Wuyi Palace walked to the gate of Renshou Palace, they happened to bump into Zhang Zuo, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and Huang Jin, the emperor's companion.
The civil and military ministers and ministers mixed together and entered Renshou Palace together. Then they came to the front yard of Wanchun Palace in the capital, where they saw Qin Dewei and Eunuch Qin who had arrived early.
The latecomers had different ideas and didn't want to talk at all. They wanted to go to the palace and see the emperor with their own eyes before talking.
But Qin Dewei suddenly pointed at Yan Song and shouted: "Mr. Yan Ge! You, the auxiliary ministers who entered the Wuyi Palace, are you?
How do you serve the emperor?"
Yan Song: "."
Is there something wrong with you, Qin Dewei? It’s none of his business if the emperor seeks death!
Qin Dewei sighed sadly: "We, the civil servants who assist the emperor, are part of the state. We are completely different from those eunuchs. We all have the responsibility to advise the emperor! Therefore, we are all guilty for the emperor leaving this disaster!"
Then Mr. Yan Ge finally heard the sound. It turned out that Qin Dewei was hinting that in this emergency, civil servants should unite and fight for power with the eunuchs.
Mr. Yan Ge sneered at this. He, Yan Song, could unite with anyone, but what is the point of uniting with you, Qin Dewei?
The consequence of unity is that even if the civil servants prevail over the eunuchs, doesn't that mean that you, Qin Dewei, will continue to control Chaoyan affairs?
Wouldn’t that mean unity is in vain?
After getting "permission" from the queen, representatives from all walks of life finally saw the appearance of Emperor Jiajing in the main hall, and listened to the imperial doctor explain a few words.
Qin Dewei also followed and looked at the emperor again, thinking in his mind that the situation of Emperor Jiajing seemed different from that in history.
After the palace change in history, Emperor Jiajing was not in a vegetative state. He still responded to the outside world and finally woke up. But in this time and space, he seems to be in a vegetative state. Will he still wake up?
At this time, civil servants, internal eunuchs, and people from various forces have gathered together, and they can basically "resolve the aftermath" together.
The palace incident happened suddenly and unimaginably, so although most of the people were veterans of the palace, they were all a little confused and spoke very little.
Another important reason is that it is really impossible to determine the future state of the emperor. The emperor may wake up suddenly in the next second, or he may die suddenly.
If you express the wrong attitude or say the wrong thing, it will be very embarrassing.
Zhang Zuoxian, the Supervisor of Ceremonies and Xueyin, said: "The Emperor has no hesitation in the Holy Body. For the current plan, we must first ask the Prince to supervise the country!"
Since the emperor is unconscious, he must ask the prince to supervise the country. This is correct from any point of view.
Huang Jin, the eldest companion of Emperor Jiajing, was probably the person most worried about the future. He couldn't help but say: "Who is responsible for taking care of the prince's daily life in the palace?"
The prince is only six or seven years old now, so he definitely needs someone to monitor him.
Qin Dewei suddenly said angrily: "We haven't decided on the emperor's affairs yet. How about discussing the prince first? Isn't it the way to be a minister?"
Everyone glanced at Qin Dewei, who was all unconscious over there. It's too much for you, Qin Dewei, to still flatter him. Who are you showing it to?
Zhang Zuo said casually: "The emperor has his own imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. I will take turns to guard him to prevent villains from taking advantage of the opportunity to do evil! At the moment, we urgently need to stabilize the society. Why is it not the way to be a minister?"
Yan Song asked: "Then who should take care of the prince's daily life?"
Zhang Zuo then replied: "The affairs of the inner palace will naturally be handled by our internal eunuchs. We will select a few older and kinder people in the palace to take turns guarding the prince day and night."
Qin Dewei openly mocked: "Listening to Mr. Zhang's words, I seem to have seen how the emperor Wang Zhen appeared!"
Teacher Zhang, the Minister of Rites, reminded: "The one who was asked to make the emperor was Liu Jin!"
Qin Dewei replied: "It will bring disaster to the country and the people in the same way!"
For civil servants, of course they do not want eunuchs to control the prince purely! The result can only be another situation where eunuchs are in power!
Nowadays, based on the status and ethical relationship in the palace, the only people who are qualified to monitor the prince and preside over the harem, apart from the eunuchs, are Empress Fang and Empress Dowager Zhang.
But there were many inappropriate things about Empress Fang. After all, Empress Fang’s first identity was the emperor’s wife.
Now that the emperor is still alive, the queen does not serve the emperor, but goes to look after the prince and deal with officials from other dynasties, which is obviously against etiquette and law.
If Empress Fang is excluded, then in terms of etiquette, the only candidate left is Empress Dowager Zhang.
This is also the most tangled place for Yan Zhi and others. Now Empress Dowager Zhang is nominally supported in the palace, but her actual relationship with Emperor Jiajing is very bad.
Of Empress Dowager Zhang's two brothers, one was sent to Nanjing to die of illness before being taken away, and the other was imprisoned in a sky jail for eight years. The illustrious Zhang family was also confiscated.
Empress Dowager Zhang lives in Ciqing Palace, which is actually similar to Leng Palace, and the treatment is very poor!
Let Empress Dowager Zhang take care of the prince's daily life and preside over the harem, and even interact with officials from foreign dynasties.
So what would Emperor Jiajing think if he woke up?
Yan Song's heart is constantly at war between heaven and man. Should he take the gamble?
If the emperor remains awake and supports Empress Dowager Zhang to monitor the prince, it may have a surprising effect!
The greatest advantage of Queen Mother Zhang is that the Zhang family and Qin Dewei also had a deep grudge! It was Qin Dewei who helped the emperor rob the Zhang family in order to please the emperor and solve the problem of funding for the southern tour!
Then, if the inside and outside are coordinated, the combination of the Queen Mother and the chief assistant (killing Zhai Luan is easy) may be an opportunity to overwhelm Qin Dewei!
If a person dies, his egg will fall into the sky, and he will not die for tens of millions of years! If the current situation continues, there is no hope of defeating Qin Dewei. It is better to make a dangerous move and take a big gamble!
If you win, you will be in power; if you lose, you will go home and retire!
Mr. Yan Ge made up his final determination, took great courage, took the biggest risk in his life, and was ready to express his opinion and support Queen Mother Zhang!
Suddenly, I heard Qin Dewei, a scholar from Dongge who was standing next to him according to his class, speak first: "I thought Empress Zhang from Ciqing Palace could monitor the prince!
"Wucao! Mr. Yan Ge almost vomited blood. He couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't need to bear it anymore. The emperor was gone. He didn't care about the court ceremony. He punched Qin Zhongtang beside him!
Qin Dewei was unprepared and received a punch on the head, which knocked his official hat off the ground. He was stunned for a moment.
