Chapter 823 The future without prediction

When everyone came out of Ciqing Palace, it was too late. Today, everyone was really flustered, but they were calm on the surface.

Then everyone parted ways, those who returned to the palace returned to the palace, those who returned to Wuyi Hall returned to Wuyi Hall, and those who returned home went home.

Zhang Chao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, intentionally staggered away from Yan Song and others, and walked with Qin Dewei.After leaving the Meridian Gate, Teacher Zhang asked:
"Why on earth did you propose that Empress Dowager Zhang guard the prince? What is your purpose, what are your plans, and what will happen next? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

Qin Dewei sighed, frowned and said, "Teacher, if you want to ask this, I actually don't know what to do! It's all about taking one step at a time, how do I know how the situation will evolve!"

Teacher Zhang felt strange instead, it was rare to see such an "ignorant" appearance from an unworthy disciple.

Most of the time, Qin Dewei was confident that he had everything under control, and then he made a meticulous arrangement step by step.

And every time the result also proves that Qin Dewei is not bluffing, he is indeed confident.

Teacher Zhang asked again: "How did you say that? If you didn't know what the situation would become, how dare you choose Queen Mother Zhang so decisively?"

Qin Dewei replied helplessly: "Because I really have no choice but to choose a path that is not the worst."

Over the years, Mr. Zhang has become accustomed to relying on Qin Dewei's exhaustive judgment. He was very surprised to hear this sentence, "Don't you know what will happen next?"

Qin Dewei shook his head. The difference between this time and the usual ones is that there is no historical reference at all, and he cannot use the golden finger of foresight to deduce it.

He knew that there would be a palace change, but he didn't expect that the palace change would be a year earlier, and Queen Mother Zhang was still alive;

In history, Emperor Jiajing woke up on the same day without causing a political window, but in this time and space, Emperor Jiajing has no signs of waking up today.

The things we encounter in the past are inevitable in the accident of history, and we can follow the vines if we find out the rules;
But today, we encountered an accident in the inevitability of history. The occurrence is completely random. There are no rules to learn from. How can we predict it?

So he, Qin Dewei, can also be calm on the surface, still acting as if everything is under control, so that people can't see the truth.

After repeated cross-examination, Mr. Zhang determined that Qin Dewei was not just trying to trick him, and that he really didn't have a step-by-step meticulous arrangement, so he felt speechless immediately.

"Do you know that everyone is racking their brains to guess your intention and layout!" Teacher Zhang was inexplicably a little angry.

Qin Dewei couldn't understand, why are you so angry with a good teacher?

Teacher Zhang asked again: "Then you must have an idea, what do you think!"

Qin Dewei also understood that he had to let the teacher know what he thought, otherwise it would be difficult to cooperate in the future.Then he explained in detail: "I think so, first of all, I can't support Queen Fang's regent first.

There are three reasons here. First, Empress Dowager Zhang is superior to Queen Fang and is an elder. For example, Queen Fang's name change is justified, and she supports Queen Fang to suppress Queen Mother Zhang, which violates the principles of ethics.

Moreover, in my Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a queen to be involved in politics, so it is even more difficult to support Queen Fang. To completely break the original etiquette, the emperor must do it!
Second, as long as Queen Fang gets involved in politics, everyone will definitely try their best to collect information about Queen Fang, and they will definitely notice that she is from my hometown, and even we knew each other when we were young.

Under such circumstances, if I blatantly support Empress Fang's regent, I will immediately become the target of public criticism, and others will oppose it with all their strength!

I haven't reached the point of covering the sky with one hand and monopolizing the court, and I can't do such things that are easily besieged.

Third, as the saying goes, the rafters in the early years will rot first, and now it is difficult for anyone to judge the next step. It is very risky for Queen Fang to test the waters and politics first.

Anyway, Empress Fang is also an old fellow villager, and her relationship has great potential in the future, so she can't be allowed to take risks easily, it's better to let Empress Dowager Zhang give it a try first.

For example, if the emperor wakes up in a few days, it will be the Queen Mother Zhang's business to vent his anger, and it will not affect Queen Fang.

After Queen Mother Zhang's experiment is over and the regency model is confirmed to be feasible, and the emperor is still awake, it will not be too late to find a way to support Queen Fang. "

Teacher Zhang listened carefully, digested Qin Dewei's reason for not supporting the disclosure of Empress Fang today, and asked again:
"Then you just said that it is the least bad choice for the Empress Dowager Zhang to guard the prince. What do you mean? Strictly speaking, the Zhang family has a grudge against you!"

Qin Dewei continued to answer: "In any case, someone will definitely propose that Queen Mother Zhang take care of the crown prince in order to gain wealth and honor. Then it's better for me to say it first and grab the first one. Anyway, there are no other candidates.

And after I take the lead in making the initiative, I can also get some extra benefits.For example, if you can occupy the moral high ground, if Queen Mother Zhang retaliates against me, you need to weigh a little more, otherwise, wouldn't it be revenge?
The second advantage is that you can take the opportunity to establish a clear distinction between public and private in front of the people of the world, and you will never abandon the public because of private interests!

Everyone knows that I have enmity with the Zhang family, and everyone knows that Queen Fang and I are from the same hometown, but I still take the lead in advocating that Queen Mother Zhang be a temporary regent. Isn't it a clear display of my public heart? "

Zhang Chao couldn't help but sighed worryingly and said, "Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire? After all, Queen Mother Zhang is definitely not your ally, so what should she do if she wants to take revenge on you?"

Speaking of this, Qin Dewei finally showed his confidence in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, "Actually, the selection of Empress Dowager Zhang was indeed a forced and helpless choice. The emperor had such a big change, and I was caught off guard!

There is no prior arrangement, so we can only try our best to find the safest possible position!It's not that I haven't considered the security issues of the Empress Dowager Zhang's involvement in politics, but I don't think there is much danger, or the risks are controllable.

First, Empress Dowager Zhang will not gain absolute power, but more of a virtual regent.My Ming Dynasty does not have a harem regency mechanism, and now she has no foundation inside and outside, so how can she control power?
Second, I think Empress Dowager Zhang has a limited lifespan, and I'm afraid she won't be able to last long. Even if she wants to slowly cultivate power, it will be too late. "

Zhang Chao discovered a brilliant point: "How dare you say that you didn't predict? Didn't you just predict the life of Queen Mother Zhang?"

Qin Dewei is also hard to explain. From his observations after traveling, the butterfly effect is the least obvious phenomenon. Natural phenomena, such as earthquakes and droughts, will still happen.

Secondly, the less obvious butterfly effect is the natural lifespan. Through his observation and calculation of the normal death time of celebrities, compared with the original history, the deviation is at most about half a year.

Calculated in this way, Empress Dowager Zhang's lifespan is only half a year to a year, and she can afford it!

Qin Dewei couldn't explain the origin of the prophecy, so he said casually: "Today I watched the face of the Empress Dowager, and my life is not many."

Teacher Zhang stopped asking, after all, Jiajing men have their own magic!
As one of Qin Dewei's closest friends, Teacher Zhang has heard many miraculous prophecies and has long been used to it.In other words, this is the Qin Dewei he is familiar with!

It's just that Teacher Zhang suddenly thought of another question, and asked worriedly: "If the emperor wakes up, how should you explain it to the emperor?"

Qin Dewei said with a sad face: "Actually, I let Empress Dowager Zhang go out of the mountain for the safety of the emperor!

The emperor is already unconscious and has lost the ability to protect himself. I am out of reach outside the palace, and I am worried!
Now Empress Dowager Zhang is the last thing that wants to happen to the emperor. As long as the emperor is still alive, it is difficult for the empress to compete with Empress Dowager Zhang in terms of etiquette. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely try her best to protect the emperor from villains in the palace!

That's why I still support the Empress Dowager Zhang on the premise of knowing that I have an enmity with the Zhang family!As long as the emperor in a coma can be safe, I am personally wronged, and it is nothing to be retaliated against! "

Teacher Zhang:"."

Let you tell the pros and cons. Is this what you call a "safe position"?
This disciple is really talented. He encountered a big event in a hurry without any precautions. He could think of so many things and weigh so many pros and cons in a short period of time!
In this way, supporting Queen Mother Zhang with verbal bluff is indeed the least bad choice.

Before leaving, Qin Zhongtang said to the teacher: "In addition, I have my own way to enhance self-protection ability. Teacher, don't worry about my safety!"

After separating from Teacher Zhang, Qin Dewei returned home and went directly to the courtyard next to the ancestral hall.

Tao Xiuxuan, who was sitting in the Ming Hall, saw Qin Dewei coming in, put down the ancient book in his hand, frowned and said, "What's the matter with you? If you still say that you're going to prison for me, then don't open your mouth."

Qin Dewei skillfully sat on the futon next to him, sighed and said, "Xiangu, I'm very confused now, I don't know where this body will go."

Tao Xiuxuan replied: "I'm sorry, the poor Taoist practice is the way of double cultivation of life and life, not a small art of divination and fortune-telling, so I can't help Mr. Qin guide the maze."

Qin Dewei said again: "You don't know, a lot of things happened today, which really made me feel a little uneasy."

"So?" Tao Xiuxuan sat up straight and moved a little away.

But Qin Dewei continued to get closer: "So only when you are here can I get a moment of peace of mind. I don't ask for advice, I just ask Xiangu to untangle my heart."

Tao Xiuxuan picked up the ancient book again, pretended to read it again, and responded, "Poverty Taoist has no such ability."

Qin Dewei said with special emotion: "I am a scholar and a minister of the third department. I don't know how many people's interests are involved in me. They all ask for me inside and outside, and they all consider my gains and losses.

There is only Xiangu, who only has the Dao in her heart, and has nothing else to ask for except dual cultivation. She is simple and pure, and makes me feel at peace. She is truly a unique existence. "

Picking up and putting down the ancient book in Tao Xiangu's hand, she seemed to ask indifferently, "What's wrong with you today? You have come to me to disturb you?"

Qin Dewei said dejectedly: "something happened in the palace, the emperor is unconscious and there is no sign of waking up so far, the imperial physician is helpless about it.

If Emperor Jiajing is like this, a man from Jiajing like me is like a rootless weed, where should I go? "

Tao Xiuxuan suddenly realized, no wonder Qin Dewei looked depressed, presumably such a big thing happened, and it hit him hard.

But Tao Xiangu is not good at comforting people, after thinking for a while, she explained to Qin Dewei:

"When things like fame and fortune locks are going smoothly, I just feel that the ones who are entangled are others, and I am the chosen one. Once I get out of control, I am deeply trapped in it."

Qin Dewei held Tao Xiuxuan's hand, and said with a wry smile: "My heart is very confused, full of fear for the future, as if I am about to die, and now only Xiangu can save me."

In Tao Xiangu's impression, Qin Dewei has a high position and authority, and has always been strong and confident. He has never seen him so helpless.

Qin Dewei gradually approached Tao Xiuxuan, and said in a soft voice sincerely: "I beg the fairy to teach me the magic of immortality!"

Forget it, Tao Xiuxuan closed his eyes, his face flushed slightly.

If it's just for a moment of happiness for him, not for the Dao of Longevity, then he wouldn't force him to build a foundation for a hundred days.

Qin Dewei slowly grasped both of Tao Xiangu's hands, "I heard that Xiangu has a fairy magic in her hand, which can maintain the life of a corpse for a long time, so that she won't die completely because she can't drink or eat?
I beg Xiangu to teach me this fairy method, and it will surely relieve the predicament in my heart! "

Tao Xiuxuan opened his eyes, and looked coldly at the man who was already face to face at close range.How did you Qin Dewei manage to use the most gentle words and say the most utilitarian things?
Qin Dewei was still holding on to Tao Xiangu's hand, "Xianggu! I want to learn medicine! What do you think, just say something!"

Tao Xiuxuan had a lot of sayings, but he didn't know whether to say them or not.She pulled her hand back with all her strength, and pushed Qin Dewei further away.

Then he said angrily: "Why do you want to learn this!"

Qin Dewei said as a matter of course: "Of course I want to heal the emperor with my own hands, otherwise what else can I do?"

Tao Xiuxuan felt that his mood was unstable again, and now he might be the one who needs to be relieved!Forcibly pressing down the fluctuating emotions, he asked back: "Did grandfather tell you?"

Qin Dewei nodded and said, "If Master Tao didn't mention it, I wouldn't know about it."

I've never seen a man like this!Tao Xiuxuan stood up and was about to go back to the back room: "The secret method is not to be passed on to the outside world! Mr. Qin, please go back!"

Qin Dewei quickly grabbed Tao Xiangu's Taoist robe: "I learned this for the sake of Xiangu! Otherwise, if others know that Xiangu has a good prescription, I'm afraid they will let Xiangu enter the palace to save the emperor's life!
People in the palace are complicated, how could I be willing to let Xiangu go to the place surrounded by tigers and wolves, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it make me regret it for the rest of my life?Why don't you teach it to me, and let me take the risk instead of Xiangu! "

Tao Xiangu: "."

How do you, Qin Dewei, always say the most utilitarian things under the banner of "for your own good"?
Tao Xiuxuan looked outside again, and said unhappily, "It's late at night today, you should go first!"

Qin Dewei said anxiously: "The emperor is still in a coma in the palace. He hasn't eaten for a day. It's really too late. So it's not too late. Let's talk at night by candlelight! This way we can use it tomorrow!"
