Chapter 591
Time passed, and another month passed, and the life of Chief Assistant Li Shi also came to an end.

The most low-key Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty was also the only Chief Assistant who died in office during the Jiajing Dynasty, and there was no lack of mourning after his death.As a gift to Tai Tuo, posthumous posthumous title of Wenkang, everything should be there.

And Xia Yan, a university scholar, was finally promoted to the position of chief assistant in a legitimate way, realized his dream for many years, and climbed to the pinnacle of his life. The Ming Dynasty Bureau also entered the first stage of Xia Yan's era.

Of course, for most courtiers, especially Yan Song, what is more concerned is that the cabinet seems to be entering again!

However, Emperor Jiajing did not immediately appoint new candidates for the cabinet, nor did he issue an edict for ministers to nominate candidates, as if he was waiting for something.

On an ordinary day, a man named Fengfang, who was relegated and dismissed more than ten years ago, suddenly went to the right gate of Chang'an to write a letter.

No one dared to stop this document, and it was quickly sent to Emperor Jiajing, who was then quickly forwarded to the Ministry of Cabinet by Emperor Jiajing.

The content of Fengfang's letter is very simple, it is to request the court to restore the ancient rituals of the Mingtang, and let the emperor enjoy it.

Since it is to be shared, it must be added to the temple and called the ancestor, so that it can be "worthy of God".

Emperor Jiajing didn't care about the ancient ceremony of Mingtang Great Feast, which had never been used since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but if it could become a breakthrough for adding a temple to his relatives and claiming the title of ancestor, then this ancient ceremony would become very important.

The ministers knew that Fengfang's letter was just an introduction, and a new round of ceremony was coming soon.

When Zhang Chao and Zhang Xueshi of the Imperial Academy saw Fengfang's letter, he couldn't help but sighed.

Feng Fang's father is Feng Xi, a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, an old senior of the Hanlin Academy, ten years earlier than Zhang Chao Zhang Xueshi, and also served as Zhang Chao's teacher.

During the Zuoshunmen case in the third year of Jiajing, Zhang Chao, Fengxi, Fengfang and his son all participated in it.

Then Zhang Chao was left on the bench for ten years, Fengxi was demoted to Fujian and served as an army, Fengfang was also demoted from the Ministry of Officials to other places, and was later dismissed from office.

With such an origin, how could Xueshi Zhang not feel sad?
Those close friends who went to cry Zuo Shunmen together and vowed to fight against the emperor to the death, actually wrote such a flattering thing fourteen years later, fate and human nature are too complicated and changeable.

Thinking about the past, thinking about the present, thinking about others, thinking about himself, and the depressing atmosphere of the court today, for a while, Zhang Xueshi's sentimentality flared up.

Coming out of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Xueshi wanted to go home, but he walked to the Palace of Appearance without knowing it.

Qin Dewei was still recuperating in the Guest House of the Appearance Palace. He was lying on a soft bamboo couch, and a few servants were playing fans beside him.

Xu Miaoxuan, Zhang Xueshi's righteous daughter, is not here at the moment, and has gone to Tao Xiangu's side.

Seeing Xueshi Zhang coming without saying hello, Qin Dewei asked in surprise: "What is the teacher doing? Excuse me, I'm injured, so I won't be able to greet you!"

Then Xueshi Zhang told Qin Dewei completely about Fengfang.

Qin Dewei laughed and said, "What's the point? A Fengfang is nothing, and you'll see even better ones soon, teacher."

Zhang Xueshi asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you said yourself?"

Qin Dewei: "."

Zhang Xueshi asked again worriedly: "You really don't plan to learn Fengfang?"

Qin Dewei said angrily: "Teacher, what's the matter with you? Am I guilty of going to Xuefengfang? I hid in the Palace of the Spirits to recuperate, so what else can I do?
Or are you actually jealous, teacher?Then you write a memorial to support Emperor Xian's proclaiming the emperor and entering the temple. It happens that the cabinet is absent. Maybe you will enter the cabinet in one step, teacher. "

Qin Dewei is not completely nonsense, Zhang Xueshi is currently the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a Bachelor of Hanlin, theoretically he does have the qualifications to join the cabinet, and his foundation is much more solid than that of Zhang Cong and Gui E in those days.

But Zhang Xueshi suddenly turned against the case, turned his face and said angrily: "Be more serious! What nonsense!"

Qin Dewei was very surprised, it was just a joke, why is the teacher so angry?
Thinking of something else, Qin Dewei tentatively said cautiously: "Could it be that I am right? Teacher, you really have the heart to flatter the emperor and flatter the emperor to gain fame?"

Flatter and flatter you, an ancestor!Has anyone ever spoken to a teacher like this?Teacher Zhang raised his hand, wanting to beat Qin Dewei.

Originally injured, Qin Dewei, who was lying on the couch, suddenly rolled nimbly, out of Teacher Zhang's attack range.

Injured, can't be seen?
Two maidservants hurried forward, one of them hugging Zhang Xueshi's arm, making Zhang Xueshi unable to use his strength.

Qin Dewei shouted: "Go and invite Madam!" Then he said to Zhang Xueshi: "Teacher, calm down! Getting too angry can easily hurt your body!"

Zhang Xueshi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then he said: "Today I want to tell you that at the next court meeting, I intend to speak to the king and dissuade the Emperor Xian from proclaiming the clan and entering the temple!"

Qin Dewei turned pale with fright, it turned out that Mr. Zhang's Wenqing disease has been committed!

Don't commit it early, don't commit it later, but at this terrible time!will die!
No wonder the teacher was in such an abnormal mood just now, he couldn't afford to joke at all!

Qin Dewei immediately stepped forward and persuaded: "Teacher, think twice! The issue of etiquette is not a matter of life and death, why bother to lose your usefulness!"

Zhang Xueshi replied: "Maybe the etiquette system is a false name, and it may not be worth anything in your eyes, and I don't intend to debate this with you.

But what I also see is that His Majesty's attitude of not listening to others and acting on his own will is definitely not the way to long-term stability.

Therefore, it should be advised, or at least pointed out in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty can reflect on himself. "

Qin Dewei wanted to cry, he had already planned to pass the test, but he didn't expect something wrong with the teacher.

Mr. Zhang, you have only been released from the blacklist for a few years, if you commit Yan Zhijian again, it is not just a matter of being blacklisted!
The officialdom is indeed a risky and uncertain profession, up and down, front, back, left, and all directions, where problems may arise, it is impossible to prevent.

I heard Zhang Chao sigh again: "I have been doing nothing for several years, and I always have to leave something in this world, and do something that I really want to do.

Anyway, I don't have any children or grandchildren, so I don't have to worry about hurting future generations, so why should I worry about it? "

Qin Dewei said affectionately: "Teacher, although you have no descendants, you have students! You should also be responsible to your students!"

He has worked so hard to support Mr. Zhang to his current position. If he goes against the emperor at this time, it will be all in vain!

There is really no need to flatter and flatter, just keep silent!
Zhang Xueshi said to Qin Dewei: "Sorry, I am not a good teacher, I let you down.

However, if the teacher is guilty, it will not implicate the disciples. You may be affected a little, but with your ability, you can still gradually eliminate these influences. "

Qin Dewei is extremely helpless, a tool man is not a tool after all, he is still a person after all.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been ministers who dared to remonstrate directly with Yan Yan. Qin Dewei also admired such courage, but he only didn't want his close people to do such things.
