Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Qin Dewei's name was mentioned only once in the three articles about Tu Qiao, the censor of Zuodu, they were actually all aimed at Qin Dewei.
The first point, needless to say, is to raise issues regarding palace affairs. It is obvious that the purpose is to sow discord between Queen Mother Zhang and Qin Dewei.
The second article proposed to discuss the details of the work process of the Assistant Minister and the issue of the office location, which was completely aimed at Qin Dewei's monopoly on Wenyuan Pavilion.
The third option, proposing whether the prince can move to Wuyi Palace, is actually the second alternative, and the root is still aimed at Qin Dewei.
Everyone thought that Qin Zhongtang was going to counterattack in various ways, and they were all ready to watch and learn. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhongtang directly overturned the table and asked to withdraw from the court on the grounds of the prince's health.
Even Tu Zongxian himself was stunned for a moment. He had been working in officialdom for decades and had never encountered such a thing.
These topics were carefully prepared by him and he was angry with Mr. Yan Ge!
Except for the first one, which was just added after I heard that Qin Dewei proposed that Queen Fang take charge of the palace affairs in Xiyuan.
In addition, the second and third items are intertwined, forcing Qin Dewei to either accept the second item or the third item, and there will always be one that suits him.
If you, Qin Dewei, still insist on loyalty, ask the elders to continue to guard Wuyi Hall and serve the emperor nearby.
So according to this theory, loyalty and filial piety do not separate families. Should the crown prince also fulfill his filial piety and move to Xiyuan to serve the emperor nearby?
In this case, the elder Ge and the crown prince would be closer, while Qin Dewei, who occupied Wenyuan Pavilion, would be far away from the crown prince.
If you don't want to do this, you should give up the theory of absolute loyalty, let go of Wenyuan Pavilion, and let other auxiliary ministers return to Wenyuan Pavilion to work.
In Tu Qiao's expectation, such a double insurance plan should block Qin Dewei's room for maneuver, making it difficult for Qin Dewei's best sophistry to work!
But he never expected that Qin Dewei's attitude towards the meeting would be so simple and rude, without paying attention to technical content at all! He would not discuss it directly and just said the meeting was dismissed!
Maybe Qin Zhongtang was born with a sarcastic face, which immediately filled up Tu Zongxian's anger tank.
Don't you, Qin Zhongtang, look down on people too much? Why are you so arrogant with others, but don't even bother to deal with him like Tu Qiao?
But Tu Zongxian did not fight back directly, and did not even look at Qin Dewei, only staring at the chief assistant Zhai Luan.
The meaning is obvious. Qin Zhongtang, who proposed to retire from the court, has usurped the power of your chief minister again!
I don’t know if you, Mr. Zhai, can bear it. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it!
Zhai Luan felt very uncomfortable. When the emperor was awake, you Qin Dewei relied on his favor and was very arrogant. Now that the emperor is unconscious, you Qin Dewei are still so arrogant!
So Zhai Shoufu counterattacked on the spot and said domineeringly to Zhang Chao, the Minister of Rites: "It is up to Zhang Chao to deal with matters concerning the etiquette system!"
Perhaps he had figured out the pattern. Whenever there was a deadlock in the court meeting because of Qin Dewei, Zhang Shangshu was invited to come to the rescue.
Teacher Zhang stood up helplessly and said something fair: "How can we leave before the discussion is over?"
Qin Dewei said sternly: "Today, the health of the East Palace is the most critical. The emperor is no longer hesitant. If there is any problem in the East Palace, the society will be in turmoil!"
So nothing is more important than the body of the East Palace. Who dares to ignore the body of the East Palace?
Besides, these issues today are not urgent or urgent matters, so why is there any need to discuss them now?"
After finishing speaking, Qin Dewei still felt that it was not enough, so he added: "Besides, if there are really urgent matters, we have our own military aircraft to deal with them!"
When it comes to the health of the prince, just like "loyalty", it is also a kind of "political correctness" in an absolute sense. No one can say that this is not important.
Teacher Zhang still said fairly: "Even if I care about Dong Gong's health, I have to discuss matters and let people talk."
Qin Dewei sighed and said casually: "As a newcomer to the court, Tu Zongxian should still focus on study, study more issues and discuss less ideas.
Tu Qiao: "."
Are you, Qin Dewei, finished? A year ago you said you were a newcomer, but a year later you still say you are a newcomer?
Qin Dewei suddenly said again: "General Tu's performance is usually very good. Why did he suddenly start a discussion today and put forward his opinions in detail? Why did he suddenly become interested in the issue of auxiliary affairs?"
This seems like nonsense, but everyone knows that Qin Zhongtang rarely talks nonsense without purpose. Some smart people immediately understood the meaning after thinking about it for a while.
This is the first time that Tu Qiao, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, has taken the initiative to put forward opinions on major political issues since he entered the DPRK last year! And the beneficiary is fellow countryman Zhang Bangqi!
When attending court meetings in the past, Tu Zongxian usually followed others and said a few words, rarely expressing his own opinions. On the one hand, he was always ridiculed by Qin Dewei as a newcomer, and on the other hand, he wanted stability.
But Tu Qiao's voice today, after everyone thought about it, suddenly seemed to be a flag-raising. After all, Zhejiang is a province with strong imperial examinations, and it cannot be without a representative voice at the top.
There are smarter people who realize that Qin Zhongtang is treating people wrongly and deliberately destroying the face of Tu Qiao, just like he just disgraced the face of one of the auxiliary ministers, Zhang Bangqi!
I don’t know why, but Qin Zhongtang always deliberately gets into trouble with these Zhejiang Party bosses and attacks them whenever he gets the chance.
Anyway, after Qin Zhongtang's instigation and exaggeration, the good-looking affairs issues have risen to the level of political factions and struggles.
People who want to say a few words to gain presence have also kept their mouths shut. To gain presence, it also depends on the situation. When it comes to factions, be careful!
Teacher Zhang stopped talking and stepped back. He could still distinguish the seriousness of the matter, and he could no longer hinder Qin Dewei at this time.
When others failed to help, Tu Qiao couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to leave the court in person and shouted to Qin Dewei: "What does Qin Zhongtang mean that there will be no discussion today? It's just a joke. If there is no discussion in the court, what kind of court is it?"
Qin Dewei replied: "Of course we should discuss matters, but the East Palace is still in its infancy, so discussions must be moderate and principled!
Otherwise, I still have a backlog of more than 180 ideas in my mind. If I put them all out for discussion today, how long will it last?"
Tu Zongxian sneered subconsciously: "You deliberately gave an extreme example, but what does it mean? I don't believe it. You really have 180 opinions."
Suddenly someone interrupted and said, "Don't be like this, Mr. Tu! If you have something to say, please say it!"
You, Tu Qiao, are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you have never experienced the "Abolition of Disadvantages and Prosperity" campaign chaired by Qin Zhongtang, which mainly targets the six ministries!
In Qin Zhongtang's heart, he may really have one hundred and eighty ideas! Don't provoke Qin Zhongtang's generals!
If Qin Zhongtang throws them all up as issues and Qin Zhongtang cannot be killed, the six departments will be unrest for at least two or three years!
Tu Qiao didn't know if he understood other people's intentions, but when he saw someone trying to dissuade him, he changed his mind and said, "How to discuss affairs in the East Palace before the court, is that why you, Qin Dewei, can decide on your own?"
You said that the East Palace is tired because it is tired? You said that the East Palace should rest when it is time to rest? Do you want to hold the East Palace hostage to order the ministers?
After hearing this, everyone felt that the question had been answered. Their thoughts had been led by Qin Dewei just now.
I have been thinking about the issue of "Donggong's health", but I have ignored the legal issue of "who decides the health of Donggong".
Faced with this question, Qin Dewei was very surprised and asked: "Tu Zongxian should not spit blood on others. How can I decide this alone?"
Tu Qiao retorted: "Among the five auxiliary ministers, you are the only one who asked for the dispersal of the dynasty. What else is it if you are not alone?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "Tu Zongxian is absolutely wrong! It's not like there is no precedent for something like this. I'm just following previous precedents. Isn't that right?"
In the political culture of the Ming Dynasty, ancestral laws and previous precedents seemed to have the magic power of being naturally correct.
Once the court encounters a problem, the first thing it often does is to find out whether there is any precedent and how the precedent was dealt with.
Hearing Qin Dewei say the word "convention", many people immediately racked their brains to recall, which previous dynasty had such an example?
In fact, there is no need for others to think too much, Qin Dewei said it himself, "Emperor Yingzong was young and Jianzuo, when Sanyang was assisting the government. He cared about Emperor Yingzong's young age and frailty, so he revised the rules of court meetings and proceedings!
In the past, the court meeting was held in the morning every day, but during the Yingzong Dynasty, it was changed to every three, six and nine days, which is equivalent to one court meeting every three days!
At the same time, during the court meeting, only three matters are allowed to be reported, and that’s the limit! And these three matters must be reported to the Assistant Minister in advance!”
Tu Qiao: "."
This happened a hundred years ago! How can you, Qin Dewei, a man in his twenties, still pull out the things that happened a hundred years ago?
Qin Dewei, who gradually took the initiative, asked: "Today's governor of the East Palace is also a young man who came to the court at a young age. He is similar to the Yingzong Dynasty, so why not use the Yingzong Dynasty's precedents?
There are precedents, so how can we say that I, Qin Dewei, drafted it alone? It should be over by now!"
Tu Qiao suddenly had nothing to say. Many issues in the politics of the Ming Dynasty were like this. As long as there were precedents and laws, it seemed to have a certain degree of legitimacy.
For traditional officials like Tu Qiao who lack the ability to innovate, it is almost instinctive to uphold precedent and establish the law.
But when he said this, Qin Zhongtang seemed to have just remembered that there was Queen Mother Zhang on the throne, and turned to the Queen Mother and said:
"The rules are definitely not set by me, Qin Dewei. They are just based on the old laws of our ancestors. Now the situation is similar, so the old laws can be used. Please give me your permission!"
Empress Dowager Zhang really wanted to say "no", but her foundation was weak and she was almost humiliated by the palace officials. She seemed unable to bear the political risk, and she could not find any reason to "no".
"Yes." Empress Dowager Zhang could only agree.
After coming out of the Wenhua Hall, Qin Zhongtang said goodbye to the other ministers and crossed the road alone to the Wenyuan Pavilion on the opposite side, leaving others behind.
Others intuitively felt why Qin Zhongtang didn't fight for the position of auxiliary minister in the first place. Why should he fight for this superior geographical location?
Suddenly someone smiled at Teacher Zhang and said, "Zhang Shangshu is really merciful!"
If Teacher Zhang had not stopped Qin Dewei from digging a big hole, others would not have thought of this when they were discussing the candidate for the Assistant Minister.
What will happen next? Everyone excitedly confirmed the matter of the Assistant Minister in the Wenhua Palace today, and then came out to find that the Assistant Minister had no office near the prince. This is called collective embarrassment! Give Qin Dewei a face directly!
Qin Zhongtang didn't know what others were talking about behind his back. When he turned around and walked to the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, someone suddenly shouted from behind: "Qin Dewei, wait!"
From the sound of the voice, I knew that it was Teacher Zhang who was here to teach me again. Qin Dewei walked helplessly to the corner of the palace wall with Teacher Zhang and asked, "Teacher, do you have any advice?"
Teacher Zhang hesitated and asked: ‘Are you too greedy for power?
Qin Dewei replied: "For example, Han Xing's troops, the more the better, the same applies to me, never too little!
If I am not greedy for power, then wouldn’t I let Yan Song and others take away the power? As Yan Song and others did, what benefit would it bring to the country and the people if I gave them power?
Only I, Qin Dewei, can use power where it should be used most, and no one else can do it!
Only I, Qin Dewei, know what needs improvement. How can I implement it without the power? Who is willing to listen?"
Teacher Zhang really couldn't understand where the attitude of "I am not worthy of my disciples" came from.
In Teacher Zhang's view, it seems that only saints who are born with knowledge can behave like this, but what about Qin Dewei can be related to that of a saint?
Others say that Qin Zhuangyuan is descended from the stars. Doesn’t Teacher Zhang know the details?
Teacher Zhang can only remind you: "Be careful, everything will turn against you! If you reach the point where no one dares to openly oppose you, that is when you are most in danger!"
In front of the deeply bound teacher, Qin Dewei dared to say anything and said very unbalancedly: "Teacher makes sense, but where am I now?"
If it had been more than a thousand years ago, and I had expended so much effort, by now I should have been granted the title of a marquis, prime minister, or a general, a minister.
But in the Ming Dynasty, there were so many constraints that it was impossible to get rid of them, and they could never be cleared away!"
Travelers also have to admit that as the Ming Dynasty developed, the state machinery of feudal imperial power became increasingly strict. In the words of textbooks, it was called a highly complete and mature autocratic monarchy.
It can be said that the creation and development of the Ming Dynasty's political system were basically designed to prevent powerful ministers from usurping the throne, and there was a lot of competition within the system.
Even a large part of Qin Zhongtang's energy is devoted to dealing with the dispute.
Even if they are both powerful officials, there is no comparison with their counterparts more than a thousand years ago. It was common for powerful officials more than a thousand years ago to seek to usurp the throne, but it was almost impossible in the Ming Dynasty.
This is where Qin Dewei feels the most unbalanced. Compared with previous dynasties, the price-performance ratio of the powerful ministers of the Ming Dynasty is really low! Moreover, the word "powerful minister" is a question mark.
Hearing Qin Dewei's "unbalanced" mentality, Teacher Zhang couldn't help but complain: "If you don't follow the trend when you enter the court, you won't be praised and worshiped, you will go to the palace with swords and shoes, and then what? Continue to reform the disadvantages and make advantages, and make wanton reforms?"
Qin Dewei: "."
Teacher, have you also noticed that Wang Mang is a senior time traveler?
