Qin Dewei is a time traveler from five hundred years in the future. He is not the biological son of Eunuch Qin in soul. It is nonsense to say that he has any innate blood and family affection for Eunuch Qin.
Besides, I didn’t have much close contact with Eunuch Qin in the past, so where was the emotional foundation? How could I be touched when I heard Eunuch Qin reveal his identity?
In fact, Qin Zhongtang really has no desire to recognize another father, otherwise he would not have been so indifferent after Eunuch Qin "revealed the truth".
If common interests arise, we can still cooperate closely. In the face of political needs, it doesn't matter whether he is a biological father or not! It has never been a decisive condition!
But Eunuch Qin, who longed for whatever he lacked, felt that this scene was not what he wanted, and the feeling of having his head shaved and his head shaved was really unpleasant!
Therefore, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Looking at those novels and plays, as long as the protagonist hears clues about his biological father, he will try his best to find evidence and confirm it, and then he will bow down and cry in his arms. It is touching!"
Qin Dewei replied: "You also said that these are novels and plays, why take them seriously."
Eunuch Qin then asked again: "Aren't novels and plays all written by you scholars? Are they not expressing the thoughts of you scholars?"
Qin Dewei replied: "It is true that novels and dramas are written by scholars, but most of them are written by down-and-out scholars! Are the ideas and behaviors of those frustrated scholars comparable to those of a champion minister like me?"
Eunuch Qin: "."
This seems to make sense, but why is it so irritating? Did you say it on purpose?
You know, twenty years ago, he, Qin Fu, was also an unsuccessful scholar!
Qin Dewei said again: "You are not an ordinary person, and I am not an ordinary person. My behavior pattern is obviously different from ordinary people. I hope you can understand."
Eunuch Qin, who felt that he had become famous and had a successful career, began to fantasize about "family happiness" again and subconsciously asked: "Why is it different?"
Qin Dewei explained: "First, with my status as a minister in the central court, one move can affect the whole body and connect many causes and effects.
So to casually identify your father is to make trouble over nothing, which involves huge uncertain risks."
Eunuch Qin couldn't help but retorted: "What does it mean to make trouble out of nothing? Am I just a burden that is holding you back?"
"With your status, it's normal for you to recognize your son casually. Who among the eunuchs wouldn't recognize a bunch of adopted sons? But you can casually recognize your son, but I can't casually recognize your father!"
Eunuch Qin: "."
Qin Dewei asked again: "If you were in my position, do you think it is necessary to take the risk of recognizing another father, especially if you are a eunuch?"
Although he thought it made sense, Eunuch Qin retorted again: "You only saw the risks, not the benefits!"
Qin Dewei replied: "This is the second one. For ordinary people or middle and low-level officials, Admiral Dongchang may be a great help.
But in my position, Dongchang’s political help is very limited, but it will bring risks.”
"How dare you say that?" Eunuch Qin couldn't help but ask, how much do you look down on Dongchang? Is Dongchang useless in your eyes, Qin Dewei?
Qin Dewei added: "The facts are obvious. Even if I don't find my biological father, I will still be a bachelor of Dongge University."
Eunuch Qin: "."
Qin Dewei asked back: "If you were in my position, out of interests, would you have an urgent need to recognize your father?"
Although he thought it made sense, Eunuch Qin still said angrily: "Do you only have interests in your eyes and no family affection at all?"
Qin Dewei was speechless. How can you talk about family ties when your father-in-law enters the palace?
After thinking for a while, he replied: "As the saying goes, the higher the status, the more cautious one is about interpersonal relationships, and the more complicated the friendship issues become.
On the contrary, those people who met when they were humble can be more sincere and pure in friendship.
For example, most of my best friends I have known each other since ten or six years ago, but I have no new friends in the past few years.
The same goes for family ties. Can the relatives who come to recognize a person later in his career compared to the old friends who supported each other when he was in his twilight years?"
Eunuch Qin sighed. Although he felt a little sad, he could understand that Qin Dewei's attitude was not wrong and was just human nature.
In other words, no one is wrong. The fault is that Qin Dewei is a person whose status is no less than his own, which complicates the seemingly simple issue of family recognition.
If Qin Dewei is still a commoner, he can be directly adopted as his "adopted son" through operations, without any risk.
And if Qin Dewei had taken the initiative to recognize his relatives eight years ago or six years ago, before he became successful, the effect would definitely be different from what it is now.
But at that time, I still wanted to be stable and wait and see the opportunity, but who could have predicted that Qin Dewei would soar to the heights he is today in just a few years?
Qin Dewei continued: "In short, if you are in my position and meet a stranger who suddenly pops up and says that I am your father; and at the same time, you have a person you have known since childhood, accompanying and
Among the stepfathers who have protected you, which one do you feel closer to?"
Eunuch Qin was speechless about this, everything was a fate! Let his biological father be worse than his stepfather!
In the end, Qin Dewei said with great sincerity: "Emotions between people come from getting along with each other. Everything should go as it should, right?"
Eunuch Qin suddenly felt that he owed a lot to his son. He couldn't just talk in vain. Only by making up for it in the future could he regain his family ties.
Qin Zhongtang waved his hand gracefully, "As long as you understand what I'm saying, go ahead and see how you behave in the future."
Eunuch Qin nodded, indicating that he had received it, and subconsciously turned around to leave.
Suddenly he stopped again, feeling that something was very wrong. What kind of ghost had he been obsessed with?
I don’t know since when, but Qin Dewei has been taking advantage of him step by step!
During this period, Qin Dewei had been belittling his own strength, belittling his own attitude, and belittling Dongchang's usefulness, but he was not angry and listened attentively, as if he was being manipulated!
"You bastard!" Eunuch Qin was furious, "How dare you use these tricks on me!"
If I hadn’t been so cautious and careless about taking precautions, I wouldn’t have fallen into the trap so easily!
Qin Dewei laughed: "Calm down! We are all adults and we are all high-level people. Don't get too excited!"
Eunuch Qin got rid of Qin Dewei's magic, regained his senses, and said in a stern tone: "It seems that you still don't understand the situation you are facing!
If the emperor is still alive, you civil servants can only serve the emperor. It doesn't matter if you don't make friends with us eunuchs, because all the power in the palace is in the hands of the emperor!
But if the emperor is unable to hold power stably for the time being, the power in the palace is dispersed, and the situation changes unpredictably, if you outside civil servants cannot grasp it in time, you are destined to be eliminated!
If you civil servants still dare to ignore us eunuchs, and there is no reliable internal response in the palace, and no one to speak for you, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later!
There was no one who was too high then Yu Qian. What will happen after the great changes in the palace? Don't you take a warning?
Now Yan Song knows how to actively contact Zhang Zuo, the Chief of Ceremonies, but you, Qin Dewei, are still cold and indifferent to this?"
What Eunuch Qin said is not unreasonable.
When the palace loses its stable core and becomes very unstable, civil servants outside the palace will be very passive if they cannot grasp the dynamics of the palace in a timely manner or have agents in the palace.
Take the current situation as an example. If Emperor Jiajing wakes up or dies, if Empress Dowager Zhang is angry to death, and if there is any problem with the Crown Prince and a minister outside the palace knows nothing about it, then there will definitely be no consequences.
Keep walking.
Therefore, Eunuch Qin can be regarded as vindicating himself, warning Qin Dewei not to think that the emperor cannot afford it, so he thinks he is invincible and does not need allies! You Qin Dewei also need eunuchs!
Qin Dewei seemed a little surprised and asked: "Mr. Qin, are you telling the contrary?"
Eunuch Qin didn't understand for a moment: "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Qin, you also need to think about your situation. If the emperor is still alive, you Dajue only need to please the emperor, because your power only comes from the emperor, and the emperor will give you all power!
In terms of the system, you eunuchs have no power of your own and can only rely on the emperor. If the emperor cannot stabilize his authority, your power will be like water without a source and will dry up sooner or later!
At this time, shouldn't the top priority be to find a new source of power? What can the old queen mother or the six-year-old prince in the palace provide you now?
Therefore, when the imperial power in the palace declines, if you, Da Yu, still want to maintain your power, you should make friends with civil servants and borrow their power!
Otherwise, you will be denounced by civil servants and fall into unprecedented instability, but there will be no emperor to protect you!
Throughout the history books, how many eunuchs and eunuchs who lost the emperor had a good ending? Didn’t Duke Qin take this as a warning?"
Qin Zhongtang performed the same logic on the spot, proving that under the current situation, the eunuch would not be able to do anything without the support of powerful outsiders!
Eunuch Qin: "."
Is it so difficult for a horse rider to take advantage of someone named Qin?
Qin Dewei concluded: "For the time being, let's keep it simple and pure. Don't insist on the issue of recognizing relatives. And if you have to discuss it, discuss it. If you need cooperation, talk about cooperation. As long as you have common needs, it's easy to talk about it! This is called shelving disputes and working together.
Develop!”
Eunuch Qin was very depressed. If he recognized the relationship, he would be the father, and the person with the surname Qin across from him would be the son. From now on, he would definitely be the superior, and the person opposite him would be the subordinate. He would be the master, and the person opposite him would be the subordinate.
But the person surnamed Qin across from him pretended to be stupid and refused to recognize his father, so both parties were still equal! This was much different from what I had imagined at the beginning!
Eunuch Qin cautiously suspected that the man surnamed Qin across from him didn't want to be subordinate to others, so he deliberately avoided recognizing his relatives?
What kind of overlord mentality is this!
I really don’t want the son in front of me anymore, he doesn’t look like a son at all!
Needless to say, there are other sons who are foolish and filial, but my son just wants to go out of his way to ride on his father’s head!
Don't think that without you, our old Qin will have no son!
Thinking of this, Eunuch Qin sighed: "I have not recognized my adopted son outside the palace for many years. Now I think I should choose a few people to offer incense to me. Besides, I have reached my age and it is time to think about my posthumous affairs.
."
Wucao! Qin Dewei stopped him and said, "In my opinion, it is best for Mr. Qin not to recognize any adopted son."
Eunuch Qin couldn't help but sneered: "Why, some people don't want to recognize their father, but they prevent others from recognizing their sons? Didn't you just say sarcastically that we eunuchs can recognize our sons at will?"
In the Ming Dynasty, it was not unusual for a great eunuch to recognize his adopted son, but it was rare for an eunuch like Qin to have no adopted son.
To be more specific, there are two types of sons recognized by the eunuch. One is the godson, who is also a eunuch in the palace and is generally used to take over the palace affairs.
The other type is the adopted son, who is awarded an official position outside the palace, can also walk outside the palace, and will inherit the incense of the eunuch in the future.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would give certain rewards to the adopted sons of these eunuchs, such as being given the official position of Imperial Guard.
After saying his determination to recognize his adopted son, Eunuch Qin turned around and left.
Then I heard Qin Dewei say quietly from behind: "Unless you don't want to be the Master of Ceremonies, then I won't dissuade you! Just go and recognize it!"
Eunuch Qin: "."
Damn it, these are all temptations from the devil!
He thought that being the second eunuch like Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies and the Admiral of the East Factory, was the pinnacle of his career. Could he still reach the last half step?
"What did you say?" Eunuch Qin turned around with difficulty, "How many adopted sons I want to adopt have anything to do with the seal of the Chief of Ceremonies?"
Qin Dewei explained: "The great eunuchs basically all have adopted sons, most of whom are from fellow villagers and clansmen, and Zhang Zuo, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, is certainly no exception.
There are many ways to deal with eunuchs who have lost their emperor, but they usually start with family members and children.
Zhang Zuo himself was from Beizhili, and since he was so close to the capital, he must have done a lot of misappropriating industry and occupying fertile farmland! Moreover, most of these adopted sons were minions.
So if you want to deal with Zhang Zuo, you can secretly investigate the issue of his adopted son, and then launch a scientific attack! Without the direct protection of the emperor at this time, it will be even more difficult for Zhang Zuo to deal with it!"
Eunuch Qin said doubtfully: "That's fine, but what does it have to do with whether I recognize my adopted son or not?"
Qin Dewei continued to explain: "At that time, in the melee when Ke Dao attacks the eunuch, there will definitely be no distinction between us and the enemy! Maybe someone will take advantage of the situation and attack you!
That’s why I advise you not to accept an adopted son for the time being, otherwise it is very likely to become a source of leverage. In this emergency period, why bother?
At that time, Zhang Zuo will be criticized because of his adopted son, while you, Eunuch Qin, will be innocent and alone. Isn't the contrast stark?"
Eunuch Qin said suspiciously: "I always feel like you are threatening me? If I accept my adopted son, you will definitely accidentally take my adopted son with you when you launch an attack!"
"There is absolutely no threat!" Qin Dewei said firmly, "I just remind Mr. Qin to pay attention to new situations, be on guard against new problems, and consolidate the results of our cooperation!
Your most reliable collaborator is only me!"
I don’t want to update so late, but what can I do if the power supply bureau has a power outage during the day! And it’s also in time for Cavan, so it will be good if I can write enough words to update!
I just heard that there is a double monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass!!!!!
