Chapter 646 Jealousy Makes People Distorted
After Emperor Jiajing settled down in the Fengle Station Palace, the ministers who accompanied him all came outside the gate of the Palace to wait for an audience.

This is the same as the morning and evening peace for parents. If the emperor doesn't want to see people, he will send out an order to let the ministers disperse, but the ministers must have the attitude of standing outside and waiting.

Gu Lin, who also came to the pilgrimage, also stood outside the gate and waited, and then he was surprised to find that he seemed to have become a "popular man", and many ministers who were not familiar with him came to chat with him.

This made Gu Lin very flattered. He had been in the place for a long time, and he didn't know that his influence was so great.

Gu Dongqiao was a political envoy in the past, and he was the governor of Huguang after his recovery. He can be called a great official in Xinjiang, but he has never held an important position in the imperial court, especially in the six departments.

Although he has the false title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, his actual duty is only to maintain the mausoleum, and he is not a serious courtier.

In the concept of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, although Gu Lin has high qualifications and high grades, he can only be regarded as a second-rate minister, not to mention compared with a bachelor and a minister, even lower than other ministers.

If you have to compare political rankings, it's probably about the same as Qin Dewei
So how could Gu Dongqiao not be flattered when a group of courtiers took the initiative to chat with him?
Of course, as a talented communicator and former leader of the Nanjing literary circle, Gu Dongqiao's ability to deal with people and things on the scene is completely fine.

Although he was surprised at this time, he was still able to chat and laugh happily with other ministers, which not only made others feel like a spring breeze, but also maintained his own compulsion.

This is the skill that the old man has practiced in Shilin for more than [-] years, and it is absolutely impossible for some young people to learn it.

If we met in private, someone might leak the news to Gu Lin, but this is a public place, and it is not good for anyone to "tip the news" openly.

So I can only chat about other topics awkwardly. Since I am in Huguang, I naturally chat about the customs and anecdotes of Huguang.

In this regard, Gu Lin, who has just stepped down as the governor of Huguang, is very advantageous, so he picked up a topic that literati are interested in and began to say: "Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture has a child prodigy named Zhang Juzheng, who entered school at 12 years old and is well-known far and wide.

The year before last, Zhang Zhang, who was 13 years old, came to participate in the provincial examination. I advised him to go back. Young people should work harder to become a master.But he had to give it a try, and as expected, he failed the exam, but I predict that he might be able to pass the next subject. "

Just as Gu Lin was talking, all of a sudden, the ministers who were talking to him dispersed again, floating around like willow catkins blown away by the spring wind.

In the small circle that was lively just now, only Gu Lin was left alone in an instant, chaotic in the spring breeze.

"Master Gu, you must hold on!" Someone couldn't help but say something before leaving.

What's the matter?Gu Dongqiao was a little confused, as if the excitement just now was an illusion, why did he hold on?
"Aha! It turns out that Senior Gu is here. It's been a long time since Jiajing 13 years ago!"

Qin Dewei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a bachelor of Zuochunfang University, walked over with his head held high, and took the initiative to say hello to Gu Lin.

Everyone present was paying attention to Qin Dewei and Gu Lin. Seeing Qin Dewei's enthusiastic appearance, many people couldn't help feeling secretly.

You have changed, Scholar Qin, and you have also become an idiot!You have actually learned to smile on your face, and you have started to do one thing in front of your face and another in your back!

Qin Dewei saluted again, and continued to greet him: "I haven't seen you in five years, how is the old man? I remember that the old man used to have mild headaches and heart palpitations. Is it getting better now? I found a prescription from Li Taiyi in the capital. Send it back to the old man."

Gu Dongqiao: "."

He could swear that since he met Qin Dewei in the ninth year of Jiajing, he had never seen Qin Dewei treat him so affectionately!The original Qin Dewei never seemed to call himself senior!
Faced with this unprecedented weirdness, the skills of social experts also faltered.

Old man Gu stared at Qin Housheng in a daze, his heart was full of waves. What's going on with this horse riding? Could it be that he is going to break the rules and join the cabinet?Are you still going to be a minister?
At this time, a eunuch came out to rescue Gu Lin who had lost his composure, and delivered an order for the ministers to have an audience.

After going through the etiquette routine of the king in the Xingdian, I started to talk about things directly. After all, I have reached the end point, the first stage of the journey is over, and the rest is business.

Emperor Jiajing visited Chengtianfu in the south, and the action he showed was to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum. The purpose was to inspect the tomb on the spot and decide how his parents would be buried in the end.

Is the mausoleum dedicated to the emperor moved north, or the Palace of the Virgin Mary moved south?Or are they buried separately for the south and the north?
According to Qin Dewei's secret analysis, it is also possible that after the death of his parents, the sensitive Emperor Jiajing felt lonely, so he had the behavior of "seeking roots".

Besides, Qin Dewei has always suspected that Emperor Jiajing has a tendency to be a "mabao boy".

University scholar Yan Song suddenly took out a pamphlet, presented it to Emperor Jiajing, and said: "The minister kept researching the ancient law on the way, and re-made the sacrificial ceremony to match the emperor's god. I dare to ask the emperor to read it."

Since he came to the throne, Emperor Jiajing has studied various etiquette systems, and is also very keen on reforming and adjusting the etiquette systems, changing everything from heaven and earth to ancestors.

Anyway, according to the analysis of later generations, it means to use the reform of the ritual system to strengthen the legitimacy of the throne.

So as a lover of etiquette, Emperor Jiajing became interested when he heard what Yan Song said, picked up the pamphlet and flipped through it, and then Longyan was very happy and very satisfied.

Qin Dewei didn't expect Yan Song to hide this trick, and couldn't help but look at Xia Yan, and couldn't help but sigh.

Why did Master Xia become more and more unable to fight against Yan Song in the future, and even lost his life, look at this is the gap, why didn't you, the chief assistant, think of this?

Then Qin Dewei glanced at Mr. Zhang Chao Zhang again, etiquette system is the business scope of you, the Minister of Rites, why didn't you think of this?

As for Qin Dewei himself, etiquette business is really not his specialty.

It is really not something that can be made up at random. It is necessary to quote the scriptures and classics, but also to be familiar with history and be able to quote examples from past dynasties. Anyway, Qin Dewei has never been interested in delving into the study of etiquette and law.

Emperor Jiajing preliminarily agreed to the regulations on the sacrificial ceremony presented by Yan Song, and then Gu Lin, the right deputy capital censor, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and the supervisor of Xianling affairs, came forward to play the matter.

He reported the situation of Xianling Mausoleum and the situation of Chunde Mountain where it is located in detail, so that the emperor and ministers can have a general understanding.

According to the auspicious day calculated by Daoist Tao, Emperor Jiajing scheduled to visit Xianling Mausoleum on Mount Chunde three days later and hold a sacrificial ceremony.

Prior to this, Emperor Jiajing would also take time to summon representatives of the local elders and gentry and hold a banquet for them.

In the next few days, the affairs will be roughly like this. The local government will be mainly responsible for various specific tasks. Emperor Jiajing ordered Yan Song to take overall responsibility, and Gu Lin, who supervised the affairs of Xianling, assisted.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing had been observing Gu Lin all this time, and he felt that this person's demeanor and conversation were not bad. After a few words of encouragement, he suddenly asked: "I heard that you are from the same hometown as Qin Dewei, and you have known each other since your early years?"

Gu Lin felt baffled, so he could only answer truthfully: "Nine years ago, we met in Nanjing."

Emperor Jiajing went on to say: "Someone recommended you as the Minister of Rites and Shao Zhan of the East Palace."

Gu Lin's body trembled immediately, but he still forced himself to be calm, and said humbly: "How can I be a minister, how can I dare to assist the East Palace?"

Emperor Jiajing said again: "But some people say that the ministers of the East Palace should find a young one, not all veterans."

Gu Lin said in a very gracious manner: "The East Palace is about the foundation of the country, and the courtiers have their own opinions. Everything depends on your Majesty's holy order."

Emperor Jiajing didn't say anything, and ordered to disperse the court.

Yan Song greeted Gu Lin and said, "Master Gu, discuss things with me!"

The emperor had ordered just now that Yan Song was in charge of the mausoleum sacrificial ceremony, and Gu Lin, to assist him, had to make preparations within three days. Time was tight and tasks were heavy, so preparations had to start immediately.

The two came to Yan Song's residence, and Yan Shifan also came out to greet Gu Lin.

After taking his seat, Gu Lin took the initiative to ask Yan Song, "Is it you Jiexi who recommended me to the imperial court?"

Gu Lin and Yan Song are very friendly. When Yan Song was raised in Nanjing for a few years, Gu Lin helped out with all his heart.Later, Gu Lin became the governor of Huguang again, and in turn relied on Yan Song's help.

So Gu Lin didn't have too much politeness, so he asked directly.To be honest, Gu Lin was very worried about gains and losses at the moment.

It would be a big leap forward if he could be promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites and also Shao Zhanshi. Whoever is in this position will know how difficult it is for a second rater to become a first rater.

Yan Song nodded slightly, without denying it, and said bluntly: "It is indeed recommended by me, but to tell the truth, I also had no choice."

Gu Lin didn't understand at all, what is a helpless move?

Yan Song explained: "Actually, the other most likely candidate is Qin Dewei. After much deliberation, I can only recommend you to stop Qin Dewei."

Gu Lin: "."

I understand, I understand, I suddenly understand everything!When I was waiting outside the gate of the palace just now, others swarmed to talk to me, it must have something to do with it!
When others see Qin Dewei coming, they swarm away again, it must have something to do with it!

Yan Song asked calmly: "That's the way it is. As for yourself, what do you think?"

Gu Lin smiled bitterly again and again: "It's still the same sentence, what virtue and ability do I have?"

Qin Dewei had already caused permanent and irreversible trauma in his heart, which made him not even want to go back to Nanjing now!

Suddenly hearing that Yan Song recommended him to compete with Qin Dewei for the official position, Gu Lin's first reaction was fear.

Yan Song frowned, if he had no heart, how could he compete with Qin Dewei?Just like my own son, although he has failed repeatedly, he still has the spirit. This is called tenacity!
Yan Shifan who was drinking tea suddenly put down the teacup and shouted at Gu Lin: "Master Gu, what are you afraid of?
Regarding the appointment of Shao Zhan, you are well-received by everyone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the most respected in the world!Who would want a 21-year-old Shao Zhan to appear in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? "

With Yan Shifan's age and seniority, speaking to Gu Lin in such a tone can be called rude.But who let him have a father who was a bachelor, let alone a father who was a bachelor did not stop him.

Yan Shifan's eloquence is also quite good, and he directly persuaded: "You don't need to have any worries at all! The temple is not about fighting and killing, but about the world.

What can Qin Dewei do to you if you say a thousand things and ten thousand things?Even if you lose this time, does Qin Dewei dare to kill all the seniors from the same village?

You still have nothing to lose, so for you, there is no danger this time, but the possible gains are huge. Why don't you fight once? "

Gu Lin can become the leader of the Nanjing literary world, and he is also a person with means and heart. Just now, it was just because the incident happened suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to persuade him.

But after listening to Yan Shifan's words, he felt very reasonable.You really don't have much risk, why not give it a try?
And the possible benefits are really good. The Minister of Rituals and the Shao Zhan Shi are the top positions, and if they go up, they are the top ministers. Which official does not have such a dream?

So Gu Lin made up his mind, saluted Yan Song decisively and said, "Thank you for the recommendation, Mr. Ge!"

Yan Song is very satisfied with Gu Lin's attitude. Gu Lin's greatest value is actually the status of "Qin Dewei's fellow old senior".

Even if things fail this time, Yan Song will find a way to get Gu Lin into the court, even if he can disgust Qin Dewei a few times, he will still make money.

Coming out of Yan Ge's old residence, Gu Lin felt that his whole body was full of fighting spirit, as if he had returned to the time when he was young.

I thought that I had already touched the ceiling in this life, but I didn't expect that fate would open another channel for me.

"Senior Dongqiao!" Suddenly someone shouted from the opposite side.

Gu Lin followed the voice and saw Qin Dewei sitting on the other side of the road, as if he had been waiting.

Qin Dewei kindly invited: "Will you have a few drinks at my place?"

After understanding the cause and effect, and facing Qin Dewei's strange behavior, Gu Lin didn't panic anymore, and only responded lightly, "I'm a little tired today, I just want to go back to rest early."

Qin Dewei changed his words again and said: "If the old man is unwilling to move, then shall I come to your place?"

Gu Lin still refused: "It's still free, if you have something, just say it here."

Qin Dewei knew very well that if he could persuade Gu Dongqiao to carry forward the style of supporting the younger generation and take the initiative to give in, that would be the best way, and the movement and troubles would be the least.

As long as he is given a chance, coercing and luring him together, it is not impossible to persuade Gu Lin.

But looking at Gu Lin's current attitude, and the fact that he just came out of Yan Song, Qin Dewei fully understood the situation. It seemed that Gu Dongqiao was determined to compete for the position of Shao Zhan.

So Qin Dewei stopped pretending to be enthusiastic, and couldn't help sighing: "You said that you are so old, and you have to block other people's way when you are over sixty, why bother?"

Gu Lin was almost outraged by these words and had a cerebral thrombosis, it is so easy to change the situation!Even if the person surnamed Qin became a master of Lao Shizi, his nature is still that Jinling primary school student!

He Gu Dongqiao was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Hongzhi, 43 years ago, and you Qin Dewei is a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing!
In other words, Gu Dongqiao was 39 years earlier than Qin Dewei, and there was a gap of two or three generations in between. What does it mean to stand in Qin Dewei's way?
It's obvious that you, Qin Dewei, are rising too fast, that's why you feel that others are in the way!
Thinking of this, Gu Lin suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.

Nine years ago, in the ninth year of Jiajing, when he first saw a 12-year-old elementary school student, he would never have imagined that this person would catch up to his official career of more than [-] years in a few years and become a rising competitor!

He suddenly understood why the princes of the Manchu Dynasty had such a distorted attitude towards Qin Dewei. As the saying goes, jealousy distorts people, including himself.

　Ah ah ah.I have no ideas and no inspiration. I can only write a few words in order to update. I can’t make up for it at all. I can only hold back my ideas tomorrow.
