Chapter 518 What Hanlin Should Do
Every time the court pushes the results, it is always a situation where some are happy and some are sad.

Because his father came to Beijing, the one-eyed Yan Jiansheng asked for leave from the Imperial College to serve his father at home.

In the afternoon of that day, Yan Jiansheng was guarding outside the right gate of Chang'an. After the result of the court push came out, he rode his horse and galloped all the way home.

He went into the study again and shouted to his father Yan Song: "There is good news and bad news!"

Yan Song said calmly: "What is there to make a fuss about, how good can it be, and how bad can it be?"

Yan Shifan reported: "The good news is that my father was successfully elected as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and this seems to be done."

Yan Song was not surprised by this, and asked again: "Then what is the bad news you said?"

Yan Shifan didn't know why, but he said angrily, "The bad news is that Wang Yiqi has been elected as Minister of the Household Department! This Wang Yiqi is from Jiangning, and it is said that he is the younger brother of Master Qin Dewei!"

Yan Song was also stunned for a moment, how did this work?The son shouldn't be so stupid that he even got the wrong news, right?
Then he scolded Yan Shifan, "Stop talking nonsense, why is this bad news?"

For Yan Shifan, of course it was bad news!

Originally, if his father became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, his son would become a big dude because of his father's nobility. Maybe he would have the opportunity to seek revenge from Qin Dewei, and the Xia University might also help him.

But now that Qin has an additional protection umbrella that is somewhat stronger than his father's position, it is very difficult for him.

Yan Song taught him a lesson: "I know what you're thinking, but you have to take the overall situation into consideration and let go of your obsessions!"

Yan Shifan argued: "Father, you don't understand, I don't think Qin Dewei is targeting me, he is also hostile to my father!

He is now a sixth grade minister, and he can't imagine what it will be like in ten years and 20 years! "

Yan Song felt that his son was sometimes really unreasonable, why would he always compete with Qin Dewei?

Directly ordered: "I don't want to hear what you think! You must be patient now!"

Yan Shifan was still a little rebellious: "Father, you are not in the capital, I have to be patient, father, you return to the capital to be a minister, and I have to endure, then you are not returning to the capital for nothing!"

But seeing his father's face about to get angry, Yan Shifan changed the subject again and said: "Ting Tui is finally going to play, will the emperor deny it?"

Yan Song said with certainty: "No! First, when you are a king, there is no need to do anything extra when there is no reason for it.

Second, Qin Dewei asked the emperor to be arbitrary before, but the emperor did not obey, so he will not go back on his word. "

Yan Shifan seemed to have caught something, and quickly said: "Doesn't that mean that Qin Dewei first set a trap for the emperor, and he can't repent after trapping the emperor?"

Yan Song couldn't help slapping the table and said: "This matter can also be explained that Qin Dewei is a respectful person, he first asked the emperor for instructions, and learned that the emperor does not want to be arbitrary, and then he dared to jump up and down!
So I say it again, don't mess with these ideas!You should go back to the Imperial Academy to study in peace! "

Indeed, as Yan Song deduced, when the result of this court recommendation was placed in front of Emperor Jiajing, although Emperor Jiajing read it several times, he really had no intention of overturning it.

It doesn't really matter to Emperor Jiajing whether Huo Tao, an old comrade-in-arms of more than ten years, should be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it will not affect the authority of Emperor Jiajing.

Could it be that Xu Zan dared not listen to the emperor when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?Xu Zan's qualifications are very old, 20 years more than Xia Yan's qualifications, and he is from the north, so he can use it.

However, what Emperor Jiajing saw through the court's push list was that Huo Tao hadn't even won the nomination of a Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

What does this mean?Huo Tao, the hero of the past, has become more and more powerless, or gradually outdated, and his usefulness is probably getting smaller and smaller.

After considering it, Emperor Jiajing approved a "approval" in the memorial to the results of the court push.

Then let the eunuch go to the cabinet to pass the oral order: Huo Tao, the censor of Zuodu, and Prince Shaobao, the shift is after the Minister of the Ministry of officials.

When the eunuch came back, he brought three more memorials and presented them, saying that His Majesty was invited by the cabinet to review the holy order.

Emperor Jiajing flipped through it curiously, and the three memorials said almost the same thing.

The first book, the Ministry of Industry Yu Heng Division played: With the permission of the admiral Wang Tingxiang of the Jingying, Zuo Zanshan also edited and wrote Qin Dewei and Yu Heng Division’s officials. It took nearly two months to manufacture a new type of artillery in Wang Gong’s factory, imitating the model of Folang machine Blessed by the emperor's blessings, it has been successfully tested in the Yumajian Grassland.

Three styles of large, medium and small have been trial-produced, respectively [-] catties, [-] catties and [-] catties.The firing range is hundreds of paces, and the rate of fire is much higher than that of the old guns. After you are proficient, you can fire a cannon in about ten breaths.

In the second book, Wang Tingxiang, the governor of the Beijing camp, said: The new artillery is very suitable for the needs of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers. Please ask the imperial court to allocate more expenses to test the new artillery.

The third book, written by Zuo Zanshan and concurrently edited by Qin Dewei: Please allow the court to grant Xu Chen further research and development of new heavy guns weighing more than [-] jin, and allocate them to craftsmen, materials, and venues as appropriate.

Emperor Jiajing was speechless for a long time after reading it. No wonder the cabinet specially sent it over for him to read. This is too strange.

Since the history of imperial examinations, has there been such a champion?
He had heard the legend of Qin Zhuangyuan's firearms earlier, and the secret agents of the East Factory were not for display, but everyone in the court told it as a joke.

After all, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is normal to be willful and mischievous. Do you still expect a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to be mature and seek the country?

Celebrities often have personality eccentricities, and Qin Zhuangyuan's pursuit of firearms is almost classified as such celebrity eccentricities.

But the whole court never expected that Qin Zhuangyuan, who was not doing his job properly, actually made artillery.

Confucius carried a knife, capable of both literature and martial arts.

The cabinet didn't know if this was considered a merit. Hanlin had made a career in compiling history, compiling books and lecturing, so it was enough to draw up rewards according to the usual practice.

But there is really no precedent for Hanlin making artillery, so I invite His Majesty to order it.

From the heart of Qin Zhuangyuan, the research and development of the new artillery was out of love for Daming, and he never thought about rewards or not.

But Qin Dewei was completely relieved when he learned that the result of the court push had been approved, and everything was officially settled.

The momentum of being a sixth-rank Ci minister has not yet passed, and my uncle has become the Minister of the Household Department again, so I must be more low-key!

So Qin Dewei strolled to the Hanlin Academy again, broke into the scholar's office, and said to Wen Xueshi: "I, Qin Dewei, ask for leave!"

Bachelor Wen raised his eyelids and said coldly, "No!"

Qin Dewei was very surprised, and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior, are you being unreasonable? How can you not let people ask for leave? It was allowed for the first two months, why is it not allowed this time?"

Scholar Wen said emotionally: "Today, an imperial decree came from the palace, ordering the Imperial Academy to revise and record the "Emperor's Precepts" written by our ancestors!"

Qin Dewei still didn't understand that it was a good thing for Hanlin to compile books, and he would be promoted after finishing the course, so it would definitely not be his turn. What does it have to do with his asking for leave?
Wen Xueshi went on to say: "The emperor appointed you, Qin Dewei, as the editor, and you will be given three years to complete it!"

Mist grass?Qin Dewei was taken aback, what's the matter with the emperor?

Our previous application was to continue research and development of heavy artillery, why did the imperial edict come down to compile a book?There is a lot of difference between these two jobs!

The so-called "Emperor Ming Bao Xun" is called "Emperor's Quotations" in popular terms.

Just like the emperor's records, every emperor has a copy, which compiles the emperor's remarks on political affairs by category.

Qin Dewei silently counted, from Emperor Taizu Gao to Emperor Wu Zongyi, there are a total of eight people, probably not dozens of volumes added up, there are always four to 500,000 words.

Now it all depends on handwriting with artificial brushes. In the next three years, this will be the job content of Hanlin?
But the emperor only said to let himself do this, but he didn't say not to let himself do other things?

Scholar Wen didn't know what mood he was in. It was too difficult to recruit newcomers this year, so he said: "You should do something that Hanlin should do!"

A number one scholar in the Hanlin Academy does not cherish the time in the Hanlin Academy, hardly sees anyone in the Imperial Academy, and takes leave every day to run outside.

Building artillery for a while, and tossing and pushing in series up and down for a while, what kind of Ci minister is this?

Did you know that someone other than Qin Shiba and Qin Riwan called you Qin Dapao?

Qin Dewei withdrew from Xueshi Wen, went to the next room to look for Zhang Chao and Zhang Xueshi, and asked:

"I just learned that my student, I was ordered to revise the "Emperor's Precepts". Do you have any advice from the teacher?"

Zhang Xueshi snorted coldly, "I can't teach you!"

Qin Dewei saluted respectfully: "Okay, since the teacher has nothing to teach, then I will leave first."

"Come back!" Zhang Xueshi shouted: "You have never done such an errand as compiling a book, and it involves ancestors and ancestors, so you must be careful! Just do what the Hanlin should do seriously and down-to-earth!"

Qin Dewei said carelessly: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy the emperor! Even if I don't know how to compile books, I understand the emperor!"

I'll keep a low profile first, and wait until the time comes before I'll do business. Anyway, the emperor gave me three years! "

The word "low-key" sounds particularly harsh to Mr. Zhang's ears.

If you can't ask for leave, it doesn't mean you can't miss work and leave early.

Qin Dewei gave an order to Kong Mu of the Hanlin Academy to find the old version of "The Precepts of the Emperor Ming" and move one set to the Zhuangyuan Hall, and then he left.

We have an appointment tonight, go to Uncle Wang's house to drink some wine, and celebrate Uncle Wang's promotion to the core of the imperial court.

The Minister of the Household Department, ranked second among the six departments, is in charge of the country's money, food and expenditure!
So Qin Dewei thought about the opening of the Beijing branch of Yuanfeng, and he could start thinking about it.

To be able to connect business between Beijing and Nanjing is a big historic step for the financial industry.

That is, the situation in Beijing is far more complicated than that in Nanjing, so we must be cautious, and all aspects of the conditions must be prepared and mature.

Qin Dewei and Wang Yiqi are really not outsiders, they went straight into the study, saluted Master Wang and said: "Congratulations, Great Situ!"

Uncle Wang helped him up quickly, and said with emotion: "Money and grain affairs have always been difficult, and the government affairs of the Ministry of Households are complicated. Suddenly, I feel like I have a huge burden on my shoulders."

Qin Dewei said casually: "When I'm free, I'll go to the household department and sit down for a while, and help you clear things up."

Uncle Wang was speechless, he felt that it was a mistake to take the initiative to bring up the work.

Qin Dewei sighed: "It's because of you, my uncle, that I have gone too far, and I am about to be thrown into the cold palace.

Today, the emperor suddenly appointed me to revise the previous "Emperor Ming Bao Xun", and gave me three years. "

Wang Yiqi: "."

Isn't this what Hanlin should do?According to the usual practice, he would be promoted after compiling a book, and he would have to grab a good job if he broke his head. How could he be left in the cold?
Perhaps the communication with Nephew Qin is still too little, and he needs to adapt to his speaking style.

"You don't understand, the emperor was afraid that I would be promoted too quickly, so he purposely imprisoned me for three years!" Qin Dewei said, "But it doesn't matter, I am not helpless, it depends on whether I want to use it or not."
