Chapter 596 New Etiquette System (ask for a monthly pass!)

Under the imperial power system, on a matter of etiquette, after the emperor and the Minister of Rites reached a unified opinion, it was almost unstoppable.

Therefore, after Yan Song directly "turned his back", all the ministers understood that it was imperative to proclaim the emperor and enter the temple.

Some people are relieved, some people are more worried, and some people are extremely angry!
Tang Zhou, the left servant of the household department, came out and impassionedly played to Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty's nature cannot be violated, but the world's human feelings cannot be brushed away either!

It is really groundless to use the false name of feudal feudalism to seize the king's clan to govern the world, and the righteousness is absolutely unacceptable!As for the feast in Mingtang, Taizong should be used! "

Emperor Jiajing was also angered when he heard such pointed words against Maimang, and he absolutely did not allow fierce opposition at this time.

So he suppressed it directly and forcefully, sent Tang Zhou to Jinyiwei Prison for interrogation, and deposed him as a citizen.

Others can't do anything when they see things, so they just play wisely and don't say a word.

Afterwards, Emperor Jiajing asked again: "To present the emperor's great virtues, and extend to my bow, it is appropriate to recommend the title of the emperor."

The others were unprepared for this, only Yan Song played a "Ruizong", and Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied.

When others thought that today was over, they heard Yan Song play again:
"There is no fixed number of ancient rites, and the ancestors are not worthy of being called ancestors. I, Emperor Wen, set the tripod in danger, and I have made great achievements. I should be honored as the ancestor."

People who are not flexible enough to hear this sentence suddenly are still dazed, not knowing what Yan Song's intention is.

Emperor Wen of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Di who seized the throne of his nephew through a collateral line, and his temple name was Taizong and his posthumous title was Wen.
Yan Song's proposal to change the clan to the ancestor must have improved Zhu Di's status.

Emperor Jiajing was also included in the general system by a collateral line. If Zhu Di was promoted, it would be beneficial to strengthen Emperor Jiajing's political status in the ritual system.

Of course, this is all tacit, and it is not easy to say it outright.

After they figured it out, everyone looked at Yan Song in astonishment, and there was only one feeling in their hearts, that Yan Shangshu was completely crazy today!

Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed, this Yan Song is definitely a talent worth using!
Just as the so-called reciprocation, Emperor Jiajing issued an imperial edict and appointed Yan Song as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a pre-engineer.

So in the blink of an eye, Yan Song became the third cabinet minister after Xia Yan and Gu Dingchen.

From the perspective of the short-term turmoil in the court, the new cabinet ministers this time are much smaller than the previous few times.

But people at the time didn't know how far-reaching impact Yan Song's entry into the cabinet would have on Daming.

Another special thing is that Emperor Jiajing did not remove Yan Song from his post as minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Yan Song is still in charge of the Ministry of Rites as a university scholar.

The emperor's intentions were obvious, and Yan Song was then given full authority to present the emperor's various ceremonies such as "recognition of the ancestors and entering the temple", "matching the emperor's god" and so on.

After that, Qin Tianjian calculated an auspicious day, which was September [-]th, which was the day of the last temple ceremony.

After the meeting was over, the first assistant Xia Yan took a deep look at Yan Song, and walked out without saying anything.

Yan Song, the freshly-baked bachelor, hurriedly chased after Xia Shoufu, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Guizhou! Please listen to my explanation!"

Xia Yan said without turning his head: "From now on, you and I will be cabinet ministers together. We will spend a lot of time in Wenyuan Pavilion to listen to your explanations."

Yan Song smiled bitterly, still following behind Xia Shoufu, talking and explaining non-stop.

Xia Yan was very upset in his heart, but he had to maintain his "grace" on the surface. He was extremely tired of this feeling.

After much deliberation, he subconsciously said: "I just hate that I didn't listen to Qin Banqiao's words!"

At the beginning Qin Dewei tried to dissuade him from promoting Yan Song again and again, but he always felt that Qin Dewei was making trouble out of nothing for his own selfishness.

Now it seems that Qin Dewei is not completely wrong.

Thinking of Qin Dewei, Xia Yan secretly sighed again, if Qin Dewei hadn't gone to heal his injuries, could Yan Song be able to focus on the court meeting?
Unfortunately, history that has already happened cannot be re-assumed.

A series of resolutions of this special meeting quickly spread to every corner of the capital, including Qin Dewei who was still recovering from his injuries in the Palace of Appearance.

But Qin Dewei didn't care about Yan Song, but paid more attention to another trivial matter.

Someone from the Siyi Pavilion went to the Palace of Appearance and reported to Qin Dewei, the admiral of the Siyi Pavilion, "Yan Shifan was dismissed from his assignment in Guangdong, and he should be returning to Beijing."

Qin Dewei asked suspiciously: "Who ordered it? Why doesn't this officer, the admiral Siyi Guan, know?"

The man replied: "It's an order from Master Fan, Minister of Honglu Temple."

Qin Dewei figured it out after a little thought. The Siyi Pavilion is now under the subordinate of Honglu Temple, and the business of Honglu Temple is under the management of the Ministry of Rites.

Now that Yan Song is a cabinet scholar and a real-time minister of the Ministry of Rites, he can be said to be an overshadowing and unambiguous role in the Ministry of Rites system.

With regard to Yan Shifan being exempted from the drudgery, whether it is Yan Song's request to Honglu Temple, or Honglu Temple Qing Master Fan's intention to curry favor with Yan Song, it is no longer important.

The person who ran over to inform Qin Dewei still felt aggrieved, "Scholar Qin, you are the admiral of the Siyi Pavilion, and the affairs of the Siyi Pavilion must be approved by you!

According to the rules, the Minister of Honglu Temple should not directly intervene in the Siyi Pavilion, let alone transfer personnel without telling you! "

The main reason is that this person has heard rumors that when Yan Shifan comes back, he may go to Guangdong instead.
Qin Dewei smiled, patted the man on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Just pretend you haven't been here, and I don't know anything, go back and observe the situation secretly.

Don't worry, because you know the loyalty of the whistleblower, if you don't want to go to Guangdong, the official will not send you there! "

The man was overjoyed, and saluted Qin Dewei again and again, and then left.

Then Qin Dewei, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, got into the sedan chair and came to the Hanlin Academy.

When Qin Dewei was away, Mao Zan was the only rookie champion in the champion hall.

Seeing Senior Qin appearing suddenly, Mao Zan hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "Has Senior Qin ever recovered?"

Qin Dewei replied decisively: "No!"

Mao Zan asked again: "Then why did Senior Qin do it?"

Qin Dewei ordered: "Help me sharpen the ink! I want to write a memorial to impeach Yan Song, a treacherous minister!"

Mao Zan: "."

Senior Qin's brain circuit is really different from ordinary people. Although Yan Song is said to be a treacherous minister, he is also a popular treacherous minister!
I heard that Yan Song prepared various rituals, praised the paintings meticulously, and had the opportunity to meet the emperor every day to answer questions. This is not treated by ordinary people!

There are no secrets in the Imperial Academy. After the news of Qin Dewei's appearance spread, many friends or curious people came to sit in the Zhuangyuan Hall.

Then everyone saw that Qin Dewei wrote a memorial to impeach Yan Song.And there is no substance, the whole text is full of passionate insults.

What is "honest on the surface, but deceitful on the inside", what is "a vegetarian meal in the corpse, greedy for power and misuse the country", what is "spirited and cannot be reused" and so on.

If it wasn't for the name of Yan Song mixed in the text of the memorial, some people would have thought that Qin Dewei was writing his own statement.

After finishing writing, Qin Dewei played the cover of the memorial and proudly said to everyone: "Remember! I, Qin Dewei, was the first person in Ming Dynasty to impeach Yan Song!"
