Chapter 606

Most of the things today are false, only this new candidate for the Ministry of Rites is the most real, and it is also the most concerned!
Everyone originally thought that most of the candidates for the new Minister of Rites were Yan Song's private land.

Yan Song relied on the momentum of the big gift to come to an end, casually mentioning a candidate, the emperor also tacitly approved it, and the matter could be settled like this.

Even Qin Dewei "forced by the general trend" to support Yan Song, who can stop him?

But it was really unexpected that Yan Song suddenly went crazy and self-destructed today, losing the right to nominate, which made everyone unable to understand.

Looking back on this process, it was weird from beginning to end.

But when it comes to the word "weird", many people think of Qin Dewei in unison.

Looking at Xueshi Qin's performance during this time, it's also very weird!
Don't think about it too much, now that Yan Song has given up the nomination of the Minister of Rites, it will be a situation of "Qin loses its deer, and the world chases after it"!

Huo Tao, who had kept a low profile for a long time, felt that this was an excellent opportunity, and immediately went out to play to Emperor Jiajing: "The candidate for the minister should not be delayed for a long time, and can be pushed by the court according to the usual practice!"

Astute people immediately understood what Huo Tao's intentions were.

In the selection system of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty, there was such a procedure as Ting Tui. For example, Wang Yiqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was promoted through Ting Tui.

According to the regulations, Ting Tui is a meeting of officials from outside the court to select candidates, and the participants are ministers above the third rank, Ke Dao's Zhang Kege Shizhong, and Zhang Dao Yushi.

The cabinet scholars should avoid suspicion and not participate in personnel affairs outside the court.Similarly, Hanyuan Cichen also belonged to the inner court servants and did not participate in the promotion of the outer court.

That is to say, if the court push is carried out now, people like Xia Yan, the university scholar, and Qin Dewei, the serving bachelor, will be avoided immediately. They are not officials of the foreign court and are not eligible to participate in the court push!
Huo Tao judged that today Yan Song unexpectedly gave up the right to nominate, and his rival Xia Yan was probably not prepared for this.

Without prior arrangements, it would be difficult for Xia Shoufu to exert influence on the foreign court.

Because those party members in the outer dynasty don't know Xia Shoufu's intentions at present, and they don't have time to communicate with each other!This is an opportunity!
Indeed, as Huo Tao expected, the first assistant Xia Yan felt that he had fallen into a great passivity.

Now there is a vacancy in the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the Outer Dynasty, and there are actually only six ministers among the core seven ministers, and among these six ministers, Xia Yan's spokesperson is only the minister of punishment, Wang Tingxiang!

Moreover, Wang Tingxiang is not complete now, and half of it may still belong to Qin Dewei!
It can be said that since Yan Song and Qin Dewei successively "abandoned" and Mao Bowen was still "unemployed", Xia Shoufu's support in the outer dynasty is now at its weakest.

And Huo Tao and Zhang Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, have always held together to keep warm. Under the current special situation, these two people accounted for one-third of the Liuqing, which is a huge advantage!
Xia Yan will never allow Huo Tao, his long-time rival, to take down the Ministry of Rites, but he has no countermeasures for the time being.

The boss of the chief assistant couldn't help scolding Yan Song and Qin Dewei in his heart, these two bastards, if it weren't for these two people to tear down the stage, why would Huo Tao take advantage of it!

But at the same time, Xia Shoufu had a very contradictory special desire, and Qin Dewei came back to support him!

As long as Qin Dewei is willing to stand on his side, then there will be two heavyweight spokespersons in the Outer Dynasty, Shangshu Wang Yiqi and Shangshu Wang Tingxiang, the full version of the Ministry of Punishment, which is enough to continue to suppress Huo Tao!
While others were waiting to see Xia Shoufu's reaction, Qin Dewei, who seemed to have nothing to do with the matter, stood up to grab the show and played to Emperor Jiajing:
"What Huo Tao said is not advisable! The literary affairs in charge of the Minister of Rites should be taken from scholars of literature in the Hanyuan, so let the ministers recommend it, and Huo Tao doesn't need to worry about it!
What's more, there are so many etiquette affairs, Your Majesty still needs to use someone who is familiar with and trustworthy, so as not to make mistakes! "

Emperor Jiajing was very surprised, he thought that Qin Dewei would directly recommend candidates, and asked himself to be arbitrary!As a result, a more secure plan was proposed so thoughtfully?
The first paragraph is nonsense, but the latter paragraph is the key.

Emperor Jiajing has been keen on ritual affairs since he ascended the throne. From heaven and earth to parents, various rituals have been changed.

So Qin Dewei's hint is, Emperor, you like to revise the etiquette system so much, especially if you have made such a big move recently, can you rest assured if you don't find someone familiar and trustworthy to play with you?

And who are the people that Emperor Jiajing knew well?Of course, it is a group of Hanyuan literature attendants who meet every two days, and this is the biggest advantage of Cichen.

Feeling that what Qin Dewei said was very reasonable, Emperor Jiajing decreed: "This time, the Cilin officials of Xu Hanyuan Fang Bureau will recommend candidates for the Minister of Rites."

Let the officials of the foreign court make a few blind elections, and they may recommend a dissident minister of the Ministry of Rites, so it is better to choose one from the close Ci ministers!
So everyone was still pondering over Huo Tao's court push plan, but suddenly they heard the new plan.

They could only sigh in their hearts, Qin Dewei's reaction was really fast, and he figured out how to fool the emperor's words in such a short period of time!
But it's not right, it's not just a quick response, but a premeditated plan!In other words, Qin Dewei had long foreseen that this would happen today!

In other words, Qin Dewei had long foreseen the situation where Yan Song would lose his nerve and then Qin would lose his strength!
Then that lingering strange feeling flooded everyone's hearts again, they couldn't understand what Qin Dewei had done at all!
At the same time, I also don't understand what Qin Dewei's intention is in proposing such a plan!
Even if you, Qin Dewei, want to push Mr. Zhang to the top position, how can a large group of academic officials listen to you?
Compared with the officials of the foreign dynasty, the Hanlin Ci officials not only had a more noble temperament, but also behaved chaotically.

Everyone regards themselves as a "prime minister", and no one is convinced. It's not so easy to be settled by you, Qin Dewei, so why do you collectively support Zhang Chao's leadership?
The selection of candidates is a matter for the ministers themselves, and the emperor generally will not be on the scene according to the rules.

So after Emperor Jiajing made a plan, he left, and let the dog bite the dog!Anyway, in the end, he had to satisfy the emperor before he could approve it.

After everyone saw off Emperor Jiajing, they immediately entered the battle state.

In fact, according to the new plan proposed by Qin Dewei, that is the internal (election) battle (judgment) among the courtiers. Most courtiers can only watch with a cold eye, or exert pressure through their eyes.

But who doesn't have a heart of "picking up leaks"?In case of a situation where there are several losses, maybe there will be new opportunities?
In the beginning, this opportunity belonged to Xia Yan, but later this opportunity fell into Yan Song's hands, but Yan Song gave up the opportunity inexplicably.

Then Qin Dewei snatched the opportunity back to Hanyuan, so who dares to say that he will not be the next one to get the opportunity?
