Daming primary school students

Chapter 902

At this moment, Wang Tingxiang began to regret, and he suddenly realized that maybe he shouldn't talk too much!

Just now when Yan Song drew up the list of Grand Scholars in the palace, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored Qin Dewei, so Wang Ting felt annoyed about this, and couldn't help but speak clearly.

But Wang Tingxiang only cared about the issue from Qin Dewei's standpoint, ignoring the special relationship between Qin Dewei and Zhang Chao for a moment.

As a result, Yan Song used it to create a gimmick of "master-student competition".

If Qin Dewei was present, it would be okay, perhaps the master and apprentice could form a tacit understanding on the spot by relying on mutual trust.

But now that Qin Dewei is three thousand miles away, if there is a problem due to poor communication, it will be bad if the master and apprentice are separated.

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Yan Song took the initiative to propose again: "Then I will make a statement first. I think that Qin Dewei should be ranked second in the list of cabinet ministers who performed to the Holy Mother."

There has never been a precedent in the Ming Dynasty where the cabinet drafted a list of academicians on its own, and it is absolutely impossible in legal terms.

But now the situation is really special, if you still ask the emperor to order everything, then the court will be paralyzed and nothing can be done.

Then Yan Song said to Zhang Chao: "What do you think?"

Zhang Chao couldn't help but wryly smiled a few times, what else could he say?Could it be possible to recommend yourself and say "Qin Dewei can't do it, I'll be the second"?
From top to bottom in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there is no mechanism for recommending oneself to a higher position, and it is not allowed morally.

But if Qin Dewei were to be the second and "steal" the teacher's position, I'm afraid it would also cause moral criticism from outsiders.

Therefore, Zhang Chao could neither agree nor deny the proposal of "Qin Dewei Second", and could only remain speechless.

Yan Song looked at Zhang Bi, who had just joined the cabinet, and asked skillfully, "What do you think of Qin Dewei?"

Zhang Bi is also a veteran poet and has his own views on etiquette and law, so he replied: "The direct purpose of discussing the names of cabinet ministers and class orders here today is to prepare for various grand ceremonies of the New Year!

And Qin Dewei is far away in Zhejiang, so he will definitely not be able to attend the court ceremony, so it is meaningless to study Qin Dewei's squad order!
I think Qin Dewei should be put on hold first, and the other people's shifts can be arranged!Qin Dewei's question will be discussed when he returns to court! "

Zhang Bangqi, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, still expected to see the good show of "the master-student civil war", so he couldn't let it go easily, so he said to Zhang Bi:
"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Why is the class order meaningless? Can Qin Dewei still jump out of the five elements? I think it is very appropriate to clearly rank Qin Dewei as the second cabinet minister."

Zhang Bi might have some respect for Yan Song, the chief assistant, but he was not polite to Zhang Bangqi, who was ranked lower than himself, and shouted: "The issue of squad order is meaningless to Qin Dewei, why bother!
As long as Qin Dewei is willing to wear a first-grade gown, the class order must be the head of all civil servants!
You, Zhang Bangqi, are just a newcomer who got into the cabinet by chance, so what qualifications do you have to draw up the squad order for Qin Dewei here? "

Zhang Bangqi: "."

There was still too much light on Qin Dewei's body, he almost forgot that this guy was still a doctor of Guanglu.

Indeed, as Zhang Bi said, as long as Qin Dewei is willing, the class will be directly the head of civil servants, higher than the highest ranking first-rank chief assistant.

So what is the meaning of etiquette in drawing up the order of Qin Dewei's class?
Yan Shoufu also wanted to understand this, and suddenly felt dull.As long as Qin Dewei doesn't turn over, it's useless to entangle in these little tricks.

Zhang Bi first finished spraying Zhang Bangqi, who was better than himself, and finally said: "Therefore, there is no need to discuss the class order at all, as long as the name is finalized!
The first assistant Jin is a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, and Zhang Chao and Qin Dewei are both the Wuying Palace. There is no order for the time being, so that's fine.

It is not without precedent that two people share the same title in the past dynasties.

Moreover, both the master and the apprentice are the University of Martial Arts Hall, which can be regarded as a great event in this dynasty! "

Zhang Chao looked at Zhang Bi gratefully. It was really difficult for him to speak out on this issue. It was all thanks to Zhang Bi to stand up here today.

And Zhang Bi's proposal can be regarded as temporarily alleviating the problem of Zhang Chao and Qin Dewei's master and apprentice, who is the older and who is the younger.

Both the master and the apprentice should be given the title of University of Martial Arts Hall first, and the rankings are not in particular order. The future issues will be discussed when Qin Dewei returns to the court.

Yan Shoufu no longer had much interest in continuing to entangle on this issue. The idea of ​​using etiquette to deal with Qin Dewei was simply ridiculous, so he said directly: "Just follow what Zhang Bi said!"

Then this cabinet office meeting was over, and Wang Tingxiang left Wenyuan Pavilion and returned to Xiyuan Military Aircraft Office to be on duty.

In the afternoon, Wang Tingxiang left the Military Aircraft Department early and waited outside the Meridian Gate for Zhang Chao, a senior scholar.

"Do you have something to say?" After Zhang Chao walked out of the Meridian Gate, he was a little surprised to see Wang Tingxiang coming up to him.

Wang Tingxiang cupped his hands and bowed, "I didn't notice it for a while today, and said something wrong, which almost caused the evil result of the master-student dispute. It is really a sin!"

Zhang Chao sighed, waved his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, I have expected such a day to come!

So I really don't blame you, even if there is no this time, there will be a next time, and problems will definitely arise. "

Wang Tingxiang could understand Zhang Chao's mood very well, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Chao continued: "At the end of the day, it's because my teacher blocked Qin Dewei's way and prevented Qin Dewei from continuing to rise.

If we are on different roads, maybe we can stagger them, but Qin Dewei and I are on the same road.

Although I had a hunch, I didn't expect this day to come so soon.I originally thought that it would not have developed to such a degree before I became an official. "

The order of Zhang Chao's words is very chaotic, but it can also reflect his complicated mood.

Anyone who finds out that they are the one standing in the way probably feels a little hurt, right?

Wang Tingxiang persuaded: "I have reached this age, I want to be a man! Look at me, now I can only count on Qin Dewei to write my tombstone?"

Walking outside the right gate of Chang'an, when the two parted, Zhang Chao said again: "If there is no Qin Dewei, I might still be just an old courtier who has been treated coldly, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?
In fact, I thought about it today, when Qin Dewei returns to the court, maybe I should consider retiring as an official, lest Qin Dewei is not easy to do. "

The next day, all the cabinet ministers went to Wenyuan Pavilion to work. In fact, everyone had no other intentions to work, and just waited for the new palace title to be rewarded.

Although the name of the palace is just a name and cannot change the problem of actual power, but everyone has vanity, and vanity is indispensable for civil officials who are keen on leaving their names in history.

Adding the name of the palace and the title of Gongbao is probably one of the highest vanities of civil servants, and it is also a beautiful stroke to write on the tombstone.

Not everyone is Qin Dewei, with a lot of official titles and countless vanities.

As the chief assistant, Yan Song went to Cisheng Palace on behalf of the cabinet to meet the regent Empress Dowager Zhang.

After receiving the order from Queen Mother Zhang, everyone's new names can be announced to the world, which also symbolizes the official formation of the new cabinet team.

But when Yan Shoufu stepped into the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion again, he was empty-handed.

Everyone, including Wang Tingxiang who ran over to watch the excitement, stared at Yan Shoufu in surprise. It was just a matter of procedure. How could there be any reason to come back empty-handed?What about the queen mother's edict?

Yan Song said expressionlessly: "The Holy Mother felt homesick again, and ordered the cabinet to urge Yousi to release Zhang Yanling from the prison."

Everyone was speechless, they didn't expect the old lady to fall ill again at this moment!

As we all know, Empress Dowager Zhang has two major heart problems. One heart disease is that she lived in the cold palace in the past 20 years and was treated poorly by the palace people; the other heart disease is that her elder brother Zhang Yanling has been locked in the sky prison. put.

After Zhang Zuo, the former chief inspector of ceremonies, was abolished, the first heart disease was almost eliminated, although the Qin eunuch who replaced him seemed not to have the same heart as Queen Mother Zhang.

But the second heart disease, the old lady has been talking about it for a long time, but the ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb, and they didn't hear it.

First of all, when the Zhang family ran rampant in the capital, I don’t know how many families were ruined. These are obvious to all, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive during the interrogation, and the minister who cared about feathers a little bit was unwilling to protect Zhang Yanling.

Secondly, Zhang Yanling was sentenced to death by the emperor, but he has been waiting to be executed.Without the emperor's will or an order equivalent to the emperor's will, it is not easy to release people legally.

Third, at that time, Empress Dowager Zhang had just regented, and her position seemed unstable, and the ministers could not commit the crime of releasing Zhang Yanling in order to please Empress Dowager Zhang.

Before anyone else said anything, Wang Tingxiang said angrily: "What does Zhang Yanling's matter have to do with the granting of the rank of Grand Master to the Dukes and Palaces? Your empress is really confused!"

It's not a day or two since Empress Dowager Zhang has been confused. If she was really that shrewd, she wouldn't have been so confused by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young emperor.

Yan Song ignored Wang Tingxiang, an outsider, and continued: "The Holy Mother has said that the decree of granting the rank of non-commissioned officer to the princes is placed in her.

Whoever is willing to support the release of Zhang Yanling can go to the Cisheng Palace and get back the will of giving the official alone! "

Zhang Bangqi didn't have any ideas, so he couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of Yan Ge?"

Yan Song smiled: "Who doesn't have close relatives? Of course I support the request of the Holy Mother.

Besides, now that the Holy Mother has been regent, but the older brother of the Holy Mother is still imprisoned in the sky prison, it really loses the dignity of the country, what do you think? "

Everyone always felt that Yan Song must have other ideas, but no one could guess.

Zhang Bangqi completely followed Yan Song's lead and replied: "Second!"

Zhang Chao, another great scholar, felt that his brain was not enough, so he thought about it for a while in doubt, but couldn't think clearly.

But he can confirm one thing, from the perspective of "justice", there is absolutely no reason to let Zhang Yanling out!It is already a fluke for Zhang Yanling to survive!

Seeing that Zhang Chao didn't speak, Yan Song turned around and walked out, "I have conveyed the Queen Mother's order, so you can do it yourself. I will go to see the Holy Mother again and accept the order of reward."

Zhang Bangqi followed Yan Song out without hesitation. He had no other choice but to stand on the same front as Yan Song.

Besides, since he joined the cabinet, he has not yet added the official title of the Grand Master of the Palace, and he has been itching. If he agrees to release Zhang Yanling from prison in exchange for the official title, it seems acceptable.

After watching Yan Song and Zhang Bangqi leave, there were only three of us left in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, and they became more bold in speaking.

Wang Tingxiang frowned and said: "The Holy Mother is acting like a scoundrel! For your own private affairs, it is unreasonable to blackmail ministers with court rituals and regulations?"

When Qin Dewei was still in the capital, he privately scolded Empress Dowager Zhang for being at the level of a village woman in politics, but now it seems to be true.

Is it really stupid or really stupid to use the official title of the Imperial Palace scholar as a threat just for a brother with a bad record?
Like Zhang Bangqi, Zhang Bi, a newcomer who does not yet have a Diange University Sergeant, thinks more: "Is it possible that the Holy Mother has stabilized the situation now and wants to use Zhang Yanling to cultivate forces outside the palace?"

But Wang Tingxiang said: "The Holy Mother has never been a concern. Only when she is in the regent position can she have a chance to be stupid. The real worry is Yan Song. Who knows what Yan Song is thinking?"

After Zhang Chao thought twice, he said: "No matter what others are thinking, we must always stick to the facts and stick to our hearts.

In my opinion, Zhang Yanling, who has been proved guilty and interrogated clearly, cannot be released for no reason!Otherwise, it would be a huge breach of law and order! "

Wang Ting was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and it happened to be the time when Zhang Yanling was in prison.

Later, he was deeply involved in Qin Dewei's affairs, so he understood the grievances between Qin Dewei and Zhang Yanling very well.

Then he said worriedly: "It is true that Zhang Yanling cannot be released. If this person is still in prison, he can still be restrained.

If he is released, with the backing and protection of the Queen Mother Regent, and he acts recklessly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for any judicial department to control him, and it will be difficult to control him!

Besides, Zhang Yanling and Qin Dewei had a deep grudge, if he started messing around with the Qin family regardless, it would be a headache. "

Zhang Bi stayed in the ivory tower for a long time, and he was not very clear about some things, "Why can Zhang Yanling mess with the Qin family?"

Wang Tingxiang said a little embarrassedly: "After the Zhang family was ransacked, a small part of the assets flowed into Qin Dewei's hands.

For example, the Zhang family was forced to save a large sum of money on the Yuanfeng account. Later, the Zhang family disappeared after being ransacked, and Qin Dewei suggested that the Zhang family be raided. "

Zhang Bi shook his head helplessly, it seemed that the Qin Party's "justice" was not so pure.

On that day, the Empress Dowager's two decrees spread to both inside and outside the imperial court: Yan Song added Shaobao, a scholar of Jinshendian University, Zhang Bangqi added Prince Shaofu, and a scholar of Dongge University.

As for the other two cabinet ministers, there was no movement at all, and no rewards were issued.These signals made the entire court feel tense again.

Originally, the end of the year has arrived, and everyone is already habitually lying flat, whether they have money or not, they have to celebrate the New Year.

Even the adjustment of the cabinet did not cause much disturbance. The use of official titles is nothing more than a formality, which is not worthy of too much attention.

But they didn't expect that the end of the year, which was thought to be calm, suddenly caused waves again.

All the courtiers who were forced to stand in line were shouting in their hearts, are these people tired?From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the fight is endless!
Too many things have happened in Jiajing in the past 20 years, can't we stop it!
　Today, I am in a state of fragmentation, thinking about where to write. It would be nice to update. Although I have recovered, the elderly at home have fevers one after another. It is really disturbing and helpless. Our place has actually become a demonstration area for herd immunity.
