Chapter 536 Untitled
In the early morning, the eunuch Qin, who was in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the admiral of Dongchang, braved the increasingly cold weather and entered the Qianqing Palace to greet him.

Emperor Jiajing was having breakfast, so he called the Qin eunuch in and stood by to report the incident.

As the governor of the East Factory, the Qin eunuch had to regularly report to the emperor some news about the court, inside and outside the capital.

Sometimes, Dongchang Secret Reports were not as grand as outsiders imagined, and most of them were trivial gossips, which were listened to by the emperor as a pastime.

After all, it is considered peaceful now, there is no rebellion, and there is no such thing as Kowloon seizing the throne, so how can there be so many thrilling confidential information?

The eunuch Qin looked at the booklet in his hand, and then played a report saying: "At the end of September, the Hanlin Qin Dewei was given twenty sticks, and it has been one month since now."

Emperor Jiajing has a habit that no one else knows, but only the factory ministers know.

After beating an official's court stick, or severely punishing an official, Emperor Jiajing liked to spy on the official's reaction afterwards, usually within a month.

So after beating the imperial staff, some people have nothing to do, but some people will be exiled.

Emperor Jiajing said with great interest, "Continue."

Eunuch Qin continued to report with a blank face: "In addition to recuperating, Qin Dewei only did three things.

The first one is to entangle Zhan Rong, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and wants to buy the Zhan's mansion in the east and expand his house.

The second thing is to grab Zhan Rong and not let go, and try to bargain down the price.

The third thing is to urge Zhan Rong to move out as soon as possible, and wants to spend the New Year in his new home. "

Emperor Jiajing: "."

"That's all." Eunuch Qin finished his report.

Emperor Jiajing asked again in disbelief: "Didn't you write any poems?"

Eunuch Qin replied: "According to inquiries, there is no such thing."

After beating the court stick, the eunuch Qin once hinted to Xu Miaojing, "Tell him to pay attention to his words and deeds".

But I didn't expect that Qin Dewei didn't pay attention to his words and deeds, let alone pay attention to his words and deeds.

But at least it can be proved that Qin Hanlin has no resentment at all, nor does he have the intention to show off with the court staff.

But this mediocre performance of "living people" also made Emperor Jiajing lose the joy of manipulating power. What's the point of the lack of feedback in the game?
I always felt that twenty sticks were missing, and even Qin Dewei's emotions were not displayed.

Then Emperor Jiajing asked again: "What about Guo Xun?"

At that time, Guo Xun was forced to resign from all errands. Of course, Emperor Jiajing would also pay attention to Guo Xun's follow-up reaction. Did he have any complaints?

Eunuch Qin looked at the booklet in his hand again, and said to him, "Guo Xun has been thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors for the past few months, and has never seen any outsiders.

But after inquiring, Guo Xun summoned a group of literati and followers, wanting to compile a new storybook. "

Everyone in the capital knows that Marquis Guo Xun of Wuding's hobby is story-telling novels, and he is currently the biggest sponsor of the publication of story-telling novels.

Emperor Jiajing was very sensitive to the content of literature and art, and it was too easy to use the past to satirize the present, so he immediately asked, "What is the story?"

Eunuch Qin replied: "I heard that "The Biography of Mo Xuanqing" will be compiled."

Emperor Jiajing, who was mostly serious, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, this Guo Xun is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Who is Mo Xuanqing?University scholar Gu Dingchen has already popularized science. Before Qin Dewei in this dynasty, he was the youngest number one scholar in history, a person from the Tang Dynasty.

And like Qin Dewei, Mo Xuanqing is also the top pick in 17 years old, so there are too many similarities.

So at this time, Guo Xun suddenly wanted to compile the script of "The Biography of Mo Xuanqing", the purpose is self-evident, it must be to allude to Qin Dewei.

If I can't beat you in the court, I will write your fan art to retaliate against you, which is very characteristic of Ming Dynasty.

It is rumored that Wang Shizhen, the future leader of the literary world, did this and wrote a wonderful book like "Golden Appleberry".

Emperor Jiajing suddenly looked forward to seeing how Guo Xun compiled "The Biography of Mo Xuanqing".

Since the emperor was interested, the eunuch Qin didn't mind saying a few more words: "In order to compile this script, Marquis Wu Ding searched all the Cantonese in the capital, collecting as much as possible about Mo Xuanqing's deeds.

But recently a rumor came out from the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, saying that my dynasty Qin Dewei was the reincarnation of Mo Xuanqing.

First of all, apart from both being 17 years old champions, both of them had the experience of their mothers remarrying, and they both had no biological father since childhood.

Secondly, both of them have been amazing poets since they were young, and they have arrogance.

Mo Xuanqing wrote poems to ridicule others when he was seven years old, and he collected all Tang poems.And Qin Dewei dominated Nanjing with 12 years old poems, and he also likes to mock people.

Third, Mo Xuanqing's last official position was Taizhou Biejia, and Qin Dewei's stepfather's ancestral home was also Taizhou, there seems to be some kind of providence.

Therefore, there are rumors in the Wuding Mansion that Mo Xuanqing in the Tang Dynasty was unwilling to die young and unfulfilled his ambitions, and reincarnated in the Jiajing Dynasty. "

"It's unreasonable!" Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but say something.

The Qin eunuch immediately followed the emperor's tone and said: "Yes, I also feel that this rumor spread by Marquis Wu Ding is extremely absurd!

Could it be that Huangming Jiajing Dynasty couldn't get the number one child prodigy, and had to rely on the reincarnation of the previous generation to come over? "

The Qin eunuch meant that the Jiajing Dynasty's human form of auspiciousness could be left over from other dynasties?
But Emperor Jiajing realized something, and suddenly asked the eunuch Qin: "Are you dissatisfied with Guo Xun?"

The eunuch Qin replied a little bit unfairly: "Guo Xun is greedy, he begged for too much land."

Why eunuch Qin is qualified to complain like this, this involves the power of the imperial horse supervisor.

Yumajian is recognized as the second most powerful eunuch yamen after Silijian, not only because Yumajian is in charge of the imperial guards.

Of course, this part of the power has already been distributed to the eunuch Huang Jin, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and the eunuch of Qin is the eunuch of the palm seal, and is not directly responsible for the imperial guards.

In addition to the forbidden soldiers, many of the "grasslands" belonging to the Yumajian are actually Huangzhuang, which is managed and rented by the Yumajian.

Therefore, in addition to being in charge of forbidden soldiers and military talismans, Yumajian is also a huge economic yamen, in charge of millions of acres of royal land.

Therefore, as the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, the Qin eunuch is qualified to complain about the land issue.

Emperor Jiajing asked back: "You still lack [-] mu of land in the Yumajian?"

The eunuch Qin replied: "This is not the land of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but the land of His Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly and asked, "This year, inside and outside the palace, many people have impeached you, Qin Fu, for conniving at the warriors of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, wantonly occupying fields, and endangering the national economy and the people's livelihood!"

The Qin eunuch responded: "I don't want to disturb your Majesty, so I can relieve you of the horse supervisor's job, and concentrate on supervising the East Factory from now on."

Emperor Jiajing slapped the table and shouted: "What are you talking about, are you angry with me!"

The Qin eunuch took advantage of the situation to call Qu and said: "Yu Majian has 600,000 mu of land in the capital and its surrounding areas. It is true that the amount is huge, but it is the result of decades of accumulation!
Now that I only blame the minister inside and out, I really can't afford it! "

Objectively speaking, the amount of land is too large, and all of them are concentrated around the capital, which greatly affects the taxation and labor of the capital.

That's why the land occupation of the Yumajian has become a focal issue in recent years, and has been criticized by courtiers.

The eunuch Qin's attitude has always been very hawkish, and he has resisted several times.

However, this year, the eunuch's attitude was ambiguous, and he favored the courtiers, which put a lot of pressure on the eunuch Qin.

At the beginning, in order to seek the position of the East Factory, the eunuch Qin had a big dispute with the Qiandi faction of the Supervisor of Rites, and now he is under pressure from the Supervisor of Rites, which can be regarded as cause and effect.

Emperor Jiajing was noncommittal to the Qin eunuch's words, and said: "I heard from the supervisor of ceremonies that the money handed over to the palace by the magistrate this year is 60,000 taels less than in previous years."

Yuma supervises 600,000 acres of land, and he is not a white man without economic interests, who has to pay money to the palace every year.

The eunuch Qin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I lent the 60,000 taels to Gao Zhong privately. I wanted to wait for Gao Zhong to return it and hand it over to the palace. I didn't want Your Majesty to find out."

Eunuch Gao Zhong Gao is the person in charge of the project in the palace. He is currently presiding over the construction of two new palaces for the Empress Dowager, namely the Cining Palace and the Ciqing Palace.

Lending money to Gao Zhong meant that it was used to repair the queen mother's palace.

Emperor Jiajing scolded again: "Nonsense! How can Gao Zhong not have enough money? Who dares to short the money for construction and ask you to borrow money from the Imperial Horse Supervisor?"

Emperor Jiajing was a person who was very filial to his mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, and he would never be reluctant to spend money on repairing the Compassion Palace for his mother.

The eunuch Qin said: "No one dares to withhold the money for the construction of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but the appropriation of funds from the internal treasury is indeed slow, and the review by the supervisor of ceremonies is too strict, resulting in a delay in progress.

Gao Zhong was also impatient. In order to speed up the construction progress, he asked the Holy Mother to take care of the new palace as soon as possible, so he asked the Yumajian to borrow money.

The minister thought about it for a while, and as a minister, he was the first to worry about the emperor's worries, so he first lent the money from the Yumajian to Gao Zhong, but unexpectedly alarmed His Majesty. "

This means that the supervisor of ceremonies could not do things by himself and delayed the progress of the construction regardless of the overall situation. Instead, the villain sued first.

Emperor Jiajing thought to himself, after all, the root of all problems is the discord between you, Qin Fu, and the chief inspector?
But Emperor Jiajing didn't express his position clearly, he just asked, "Qin Fu, how many years have you been in the Imperial Horse Prison?"

The eunuch Qin replied truthfully: "It has been six or seven years since I became the imperial horse supervisor in March of the ninth year of Jiajing."

Emperor Jiajing continued to ask inexplicably, "How much has the land of the Yumajian increased during the years you have been in the Yumajian?"

The eunuch Qin couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so he continued to answer honestly: "In the past six or seven years, the area has increased by about 200,000 mu."

Emperor Jiajing instructed: "Since there are so many people impeaching you, then the Yumajian will first clear the 200,000 acres that it has occupied in recent years. It can be regarded as an explanation to public opinion, and the impeachment will be temporarily quelled!"

The eunuch Qin took the opportunity to ask for instructions: "The 200,000 mu by the Yongding River that should have been given to Guo Xun is also within the [-] mu. How should we deal with it?"

Emperor Jiajing said impatiently: "Guo Xun gave half of the land, and changed it to another place! In addition, pass an edict to him, grind the sage's scriptures and cultivate his morality, don't be obsessed with any script!"

The eunuch Qin was very satisfied with this result, so the land along the Yongding River in the southwestern suburbs was also included in the clearance.

Specifically how to clear and retreat, slowly find a way to operate.

After breakfast and listening to gossip news from Dongchang, Emperor Jiajing came to the Wenhua Palace.

Today is the first sutra feast since the birth of the second son of the emperor, and it may also be the last sutra feast before the winter solstice.

Emperor Jiajing didn't need to think about it. Today, the Hanlins must have offered congratulatory forms face to face.

Before Emperor Jiajing was enthroned, the ministers who participated in the banquet had already arranged their positions.

A certain number one scholar with the surname of Qin also mixed in the crowd like a fake, attracting the attention of many other ministers.

Someone asked, "Qin Banqiao, is your injury healed? I didn't hear that you were on vacation after your injury."

Qin Dewei replied: "I haven't fully recovered yet, but the emperor asked me before, why didn't I come to the banquet?
Therefore, this sutra feast, I have to come here with injuries, and dare not bother the emperor to inquire again. "

There is only one level difference between Cai Ang, a fifth-rank attendant lecturer, and Qin Dewei, a sixth-rank Zuo Zanshan who also studied writing, so the distance is very close.

This made Xueshi Cai angry when he looked at Qin Dewei. He has been in the Imperial Academy for 20 years.

After all the hard work and hard work to this day, the official rank is actually only one step ahead of Qin Dewei!
Hearing Qin Dewei's answer, Cai Xueshi couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I'm afraid I heard that the prince was born, and I was reluctant to give up this pleasing opportunity, so I would rather come here with my wounds, and I would like to express my congratulations, right?"

Qin Dewei bowed his hands to Cai Ang, and replied very politely: "Unlike Senior Cai, I am a person who likes to do practical things, and never wants to rely on congratulations to speculate!"

This remark is a bit yin and yang, insinuating that Xueshi Cai only writes essays about Ma Songsheng.

Cai Xueshi said unhappily: "Then you dare to say that you will not present a congratulatory form today?"

Qin Dewei nodded: "Dare!"

Cai Xueshi: "."

He didn't expect Qin Dewei to dare to say no to the congratulatory table, is this a disease of the brain?

Today everyone will offer congratulations, you want to be a maverick?
Zhang Chao Zhang coughed again and again, trying to stop Qin Dewei from being unrestrained, but he still didn't stop him.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing came out, and the ministers stopped arguing (fighting) and chatting (mouthing), and had an audience together.

Emperor Jiajing was still in a good mood. After all, the pressure of not being able to give birth to a son was too great, and now he was finally relieved.

So it was rare to have a pleasant face, and after a few words with the ministers, I started to go through the process.

Congratulatory forms were presented one after another, some of them had a look at them, and some of them had to read them once.

Cai Ang Cai's eulogy articles were still so gorgeous, and Emperor Jiajing rewarded him with silver taels of brocade on the spot.

If nothing unexpected happened, Xueshi Cai won the first place today.

Hanlin is a place that pays attention to seniority, and Qin Dewei is a "newcomer" who only came in last year, and he is basically the last few to show his face on this kind of occasion.

At this time, it was drawing to a close, and Emperor Jiajing was a little tired.

When Qin Dewei came out, everyone's eyes were focused instantly, because just now Qin Dewei said angrily that he would not go with the crowd to congratulate him today.

If Qin Dewei broke his promise, did not dare to stand alone, and honestly went on the congratulatory list, it would be considered a slap in the face.

Qin Dewei took out a stack of manuscripts and presented them, which surprised everyone including Emperor Jiajing.

Generally, the style of documents given to the emperor by courtiers is commonly known as "zhezi". As the name suggests, you can guess what it looks like. Anyway, it should definitely not be in the form of a stack of manuscripts.

Emperor Jiajing was quite curious, and quickly raised his eyes to look, and the first thing he saw was the five characters in the title.

Fog Grass!Emperor Jiajing couldn't help standing up, holding the manuscript and flipping through it.

The officials below were baffled. Seeing that the emperor was standing up, they could only fall to their knees.

But he was still very puzzled in his heart, Qin Dewei was really dishonest, what did he offer?
 The thinking is scattered, write what comes to mind, leave a puzzle for everyone to guess, what did Qin Dewei offer?
