Chapter 564

It was getting dark, when Qin Dewei came back from outside, a servant came to inform him that Master Zeng told him to go to the study.

Qin Dewei changed into his home clothes, walked across the passage, and came to the study in the inner courtyard of the West Mansion.

At this moment, Zeng's stepfather was sitting behind the desk, penning his pen and meditating, probably planning to write something.

Seeing Qin Dewei coming in, Empress Zeng put down his pen first, and asked: "How did I hear today that you want to fight with the Marquis of Xianning?"

Qin Dewei said in surprise: "Such a little thing, even you know about it? I thought it would only be spread in noble circles."

The stepfather Zeng also had no choice but to change to a normal son, who dared to fight in the street, he had to be taught a lesson carefully, and it might even be a physical method.

But Qin Dewei is an abnormal person, and if he fails to teach him a lesson, he will be trained instead.

So stepfather Zeng could only ask calmly, "Why did you do this?"

Qin Dewei said nonchalantly: "It's boring these days, let's have some fun."

The 16 years in Jiajing were too boring. Apart from slowly studying hydraulics and steelmaking, and promoting system reforms, I didn't know what to do.

And women's sex, that's it, it's not rare!

Stepfather Zeng didn't believe it at all, and said, "Tell the truth! Don't fool me!"

So Qin Dewei was helpless, "I didn't fool the master, this is the truth! I'm just so bored!

Does it mean that those dandies fight with vindictiveness, do they need any foresight?
I'm only 19 years old, and I'm not an old man like you who is about to turn [-]! "

Great stepfather: "."

Forget it, forget it, it’s nothing for young people to fight, a scholar must be Hongyi.

Before Qin Dewei left, he suddenly asked curiously: "Master, you don't rest at night, what are you going to write?"

Zeng's stepfather said angrily, "Shang Shu defends himself!"

Qin Dewei hastily questioned, and his stepfather said again: "I don't know who reported it, saying that when I was serving as a patrol officer in Liaodong, the Ma family in Jiangdu County transported grain in Liaodong in exchange for salt inspection and cooperation. The situation is suspicious, so the emperor ordered me to defend myself !"

Fog Grass!Qin Dewei was taken aback, and he proposed the reform of the salt law himself. How could Zeng's stepfather be secretly reported?

He hurriedly asked: "Master Zeng, do you really have any interests in connection with the Ma family?"

Stepfather Zeng said without hesitation: "Absolutely not!"

Qin Dewei still believed in stepfather Zeng's personal integrity, and asked again: "Then how do you plan to defend yourself?"

He felt that it was very meaningful for Emperor Jiajing to ask his stepfather to defend himself, and he should not deal with it lightly.

Zeng Mi replied: "At the beginning you proposed to open the Sino-French trial in Liaodong, but you were skeptical at the beginning, and no salt merchants came to import grain.

So I had no choice but to invite my old acquaintance, the salt merchant Ma's family, to come to Liaodong to be the first to be a model, but I didn't receive any benefits from the Ma family. "

Stepfather Zeng said frankly, but was interrupted by Qin Dewei, "The facts are not important, I just want to know, what is your motive?"

Stepfather Zeng was speechless, what does it mean that the facts are not important?
But he still answered truthfully: "I just wanted to promote the official business, so I recruited Ma's family to Liaodong. It was completely out of public interest."

Qin Dewei looked at his stepfather with pity, no wonder your old man was beheaded ten years later in history.

For a suspicious person like Emperor Jiajing, if you use this routine to play it right, whoever will die if you don't die?
The stepfather Zeng couldn't stand being looked at by his cheap son, so he couldn't help but shouted: "What kind of eyes do you have!"

Qin Dewei sighed, "Master, if you plan to defend yourself like this, then I will write a resignation memorial as soon as possible, so as not to be dragged down by you in the future."

Want to hit someone!Zeng Mi's mood suddenly exploded, why is everything he did wrong in the mouth of cheap son?

The facts are like this. I am dedicated to the public and have a clear conscience. What problems can there be in self-defense like this?
No fiction, no fabrication, completely truthful, is this wrong?
Qin Dewei was tired, so he could only help his stepfather to analyze, "You recruited Ma's family to Liaodong because you used your personal relationship, right?
So you are paying private resources for official business.Then you have no benefits at all, and your motivation is very pure, that is, to serve the public wholeheartedly. "

Stepfather Zeng nodded, that was indeed the case.

Qin Dewei shouted deafeningly: "But the emperor won't believe it!"

Zeng Mi asked back: "It's just a report based on the facts, and it's not fabricated! Is it impossible to reason in the world?"

Qin Dewei began to look at his stepfather with pity again: "How naive are you, you still want to reason with the emperor?"

Stepfather Zeng suddenly thought of a political problem——

If it is said that the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles focus on the monarch and his ministers, father and son, then Qin Dewei's above sentence, is it against "the monarch and his ministers" or "father and son"?
Qin Dewei worried that his stepfather would not be able to understand for a while, so he decided to give an example: "Let's talk about an extreme situation, if there is a food shortage in the capital, and hungry people are everywhere.

At this time, a great scholar asked the court to save money, but he dissipated his family wealth and gave away porridge to save thousands of families and Buddhas. What would the censors think? "

Zeng Mi hesitated and said: "This is a hypocrite! If you buy people's hearts without permission, you are suspected of doing something wrong!"

Qin Dewei nodded: "Then what you did in Liaodong is similar in nature?
The current emperor has never believed in his heart that there will be impartiality in the world, and he does not believe that there are really people who will do their best to serve the country!
Such an emperor asked you to defend yourself, but you boasted that you were dedicated to the public. What do you think the emperor thinks? "

Empress Zeng was dumbfounded. If word got out, it would be a basic operation to kill the nine clans by thousands of knives.

After Qin Dewei finished speaking, he silently added something in his heart, this is the root of your thinking that was beheaded ten years later.

Zeng Mi scratched her scalp in distress, "Then how do you defend yourself? I'm not greedy for money or accepting bribes. Is it possible that I'm being forced to fabricate facts to smear myself? Then do I want to lose my reputation?"

Qin Dewei said lightly: "You Shangshu defended yourself that I proposed the restructuring of Liaodong at the beginning, and you, as a stepfather, were worried that my proposal would fail.

So selfishly, my father took the initiative to recruit the Majiabao, so as to promote the reform of the Liaodong Salt Law.

This is the way to reason with the emperor, use the emperor's logic, and use the routine that the emperor can understand to make it right!
Don't fall into self-impressive self-impression, it's useless!If the emperor doesn't believe you, then everything will stop! "

Zeng Mi's heart was bitter again, as if the three views were shattered, was it because he failed to teach his son and was punished instead?

Qin Dewei was afraid that his stepfather would still be unable to turn the corner, so he chased after him and asked: "Have you figured it out? If you don't understand it, don't go to the bookstore. If you really can't, I'll write a copy for you!"

Zeng Mi waved his hand feebly, and sighed, "You'd better fight, fight hard, don't lose when you lose."

A son who goes to fight is always more comfortable than a son who trains his father.
