Chapter 609 Qin Xue at the Turning Point of History
Although Qin Dewei was very calm on the surface, and even thought of rushing to answer for fun, anyone who understands history knows that the two things Tao Zhongwen mentioned are definitely major events in the Jiajing Dynasty.

Speaking of the politics of the Jiajing Dynasty, the period from the second half of the 17th year of Jiajing to the first few months of the 18th year of Jiajing was a very obvious turning point, which can be called the watershed between the early and middle period of the Jiajing Dynasty!

This period of history is not long, but three major events happened in succession.

The first major event was Yan Song's ten-year-long struggle with Xia Yan, which had a full impact on the political situation for the next 30 years.

Of course, in this time and space, because of Qin Dewei's random meddling, the political situation has begun to deviate from the track.

The second major event was the death of Emperor Jiajing's mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, in December of the 17th year of Jiajing, and the southern tour three months later.

This incident dealt a great blow to Emperor Jiajing's spirit, and the later Emperor Jiajing began to enter the fanatical mode of cultivating immortals.

The third major event is that Shao Yuanjie, the national teacher in the early Jiajing Dynasty, was seriously ill and died in February of the 18th year of Jiajing.

Before this period of time in history, Emperor Jiajing was still a very diligent and studious emperor who was eager to prove himself with the great rule of the world, but was impatient and ignorant of the law.

But after this period of time, the disheartened Emperor Jiajing seemed to turn his back [-] degrees, and gradually became obsessed with cultivating immortals, stopped going to court, rarely met with ministers, and became indifferent to the country's sense of responsibility.

Therefore, the "two major events" that Tao Zhongwen Tao Taoist yelled about are not empty words, they are indeed major events, and they can be called major events at the turning point of history.

Of course, Tao Laodao didn't know how meaningful these two things were. He only looked at it from the impact on himself.

In case Shao Guoshi dies of illness, does Tao Zhongwen have a chance to be the new Guoshi?
This is not a fantasy, he Tao Zhongwen is also a master who has entered the palace to do the law, and has shown his face in front of the emperor!
As for why he told Qin Dewei these things, because Qin Dewei predicted three years ago that he, Tao Zhongwen, was destined to be a national teacher.

Tao Zhongwen may be the old god in many people's minds, but Qin Dewei is the old god in Tao Zhongwen's heart. At this critical moment, Tao Zhongwen just wants to hear what Qin Dewei has to say.

"Calm down!" Qin Dewei reprimanded: "I have already emphasized to you what to do! You don't have to think about the emperor, you don't have to find a way to find your existence with the emperor!"

Tao Zhongwen was a bit self-conscious and confused, so he couldn't help but said: "Now there are many fellow Taoists who are trying to find a way out. Including a few disciples of Shao Xianzhang."

Qin Dewei said with certainty: "What you have to do is to continue to follow Shao Guoshi closely! The more he is about to die, the more you must serve Shao Guoshi well!
The emperor is actually a nostalgic person, and Shao Guoshi is a real person who has won the emperor's trust for more than ten years. Asking Shao Guoshi to recommend you before he dies is more effective than anything else! "

Tao Zhongwen asked again: "Although I have a very good friendship with Shao Xianzhang, but Shao Xianzhang has several disciples, why did Shao Xianzhang give up his disciples and recommend me instead?"

Qin Dewei didn't know much about religious history, and he didn't know why Shao Yuanjie recommended Tao Zhongwen to Emperor Jiajing before his death.

But it doesn't affect Qin Dewei's inferring the cause from the result, and making up nonsense. Anyway, it's Tao Laodao's fault if he makes a mistake, and it doesn't affect Qin Dewei's political status.

"Shao Guoshi has been honored and favored for more than ten years, which shows that Shao Guoshi is very aware of the emperor's temperament, so he can maintain the emperor's trust.
When the opportunity is right, you can directly ask Shao Guoshi, are his disciples capable of serving the emperor?Can his disciples afford the consequences of serving badly? "

With Emperor Jiajing's awkward personality, few people can serve him well. If Shao Yuanjie is not afraid of being implicated by his disciples after death, he should know how to be safe.

Qin Dewei is more confident than Tao Zhongwen himself, "Only you, Zhenjun Zhongwen of the Apparition Palace, is the best candidate for the next national teacher, no one else can!
If Shao Guoshi is still struggling with this, or has no confidence in your ability, then let Shao Guoshi give you a chance to test the waters! "

Tao Zhongwen asked doubtfully, "What chance?"

Qin Dewei said inscrutablely: "About the beginning of next year, it cannot be said at this time."

In February and March next year, Emperor Jiajing will set off on a southern tour. As for the reason, Qin Dewei dare not say now.

It is now November, and Empress Dowager Jiang will be gone early next month.

In the end, Qin Dewei tried his best to cheer up Tao Laodao: "I am optimistic about you, Zhong Wen's spiritual master!"

Tao Zhongwen said a little annoyed: "Can you stop calling me Zhongwen Zhenjun!"

This title is simply nondescript, and it's so embarrassing. I don't know why Bachelor Qin likes to call people like this so much today.

Back home, Qin Dewei said to his stepfather again: "It's not suitable to run an official position now, we still have to wait until next year."

Stepfather Zeng wanted to ask the reason, but Qin Dewei kept it a secret, which made Stepfather Zeng heartbroken again, lamenting that his father will not be his father, he lives like a son's subordinate, and he is still the kind of subordinate who is not a trusted confidant.

Then Qin Dewei got another piece of news that Emperor Jiajing was still grateful for Yan Song's "achievements" after all, and felt that it would be too much for him not to reward him at all, so he favored Yan Shifan as Shangbao Sicheng.

This shows that the emperor erased all of Yan Shifan's past, so that the Jinyiwei official school blocked outside Yan's mansion has no excuse to arrest people and can only be removed.

There is no other way, the son of the rich and powerful is not so easy to catch, and the time traveler is not omnipotent.

At this time the weather was already very cold, Qin Dewei would only take off all his masks when he returned to the kang in the inner room, and lay down on the kang and sighed.

Xu Miaoxuan asked suspiciously: "When you are proud, why is your husband sighing?"

Qin Dewei said with emotion: "The whole world is turbid and I am alone, and everyone is drunk and I am alone, so I sigh with sorrow."

Xu Miaoxuan is not a political novice either, she still doesn't understand: "Isn't the big ceremony already over?"

Qin Dewei turned over and said sadly: "How do you know that the real winter is coming."

How can optimistic people know that the chaos of the Jiajing Dynasty is about to begin.

The minister thought that the emperor, who was obsessed with great etiquette, was already annoying, but it was all in the past tense anyway.

But after this year, the ministers realized that the emperor who is obsessed with cultivating immortals is even more annoying!
Xu Miaoxuan forcefully pulled Qin Dewei, who was concerned about the country and the people, "Even if winter comes tonight, don't try to escape! According to you, it's not a safe period, so don't be lazy in these few days!"

As the time approached the end of the year, according to the usual practice, all the yamen gradually entered a leisurely and relaxing mode, and they only waited for December to close the yamen for the New Year.

Zhang Chao, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Imperial Academy, finished his mission and returned to the capital from other places.Afraid of accidents, Qin Dewei left the capital and came to Tongzhou to meet him.

Teacher Zhang will stay overnight in Tongzhou that night, so Qin Dewei has time to communicate with Teacher Zhang.

It doesn't mean anything else, but Qin Dewei is really worried and wants to see if Teacher Zhang's thoughts have changed.

After all, Mr. Zhang's idea of ​​becoming a political minister before he left Beijing was a little scary. If it really didn't work, Qin Dewei also planned for the worst.

After seeing the ceremony, Qin Dewei didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, so he took the initiative to ask: "Does the teacher know the news?"

Zhang Chao said with a blank face: "The hospitality I encountered along the way back was ten times more grand than that on the way out, how could I not know?
I have lived for more than [-] years, and I never knew that being an official can still do this. It feels like I have done nothing, and I can even advance several levels. "

Qin Dewei admired sincerely: "That's because Zhang Xueshi has a good student."

Zhang Chao: "."

Qin Dewei encouraged Xueshi Zhang again: "Do it well, the Minister of Rites may not be the end, and the cabinet scholar may not be able to look forward to it."

Zhang Chao took a deep breath, and said harshly: "When I was sent out of Beijing, I originally thought of severing the relationship between teachers and students, so I resigned and left!"

Qin Dewei turned pale in shock politely: "Teacher, how could you be like this!"

Zhang Chao continued: "Later, I realized that I can't do that. I must keep my usefulness and the teacher-student relationship."

Qin Dewei was overjoyed, and quickly praised: "It seems that you have really understood it, teacher! That's right, you must keep your useful body, otherwise why wait for the future?"

So for the sake of the teacher-student relationship, let's give up the straight remonstrance, protect yourself first and then talk about other things!

Then I heard Zhang Xueshi say: "What the old man sees through is that a person like you who acts recklessly and recklessly, if he is not restrained, will definitely become a minister who can govern the world.

So I must keep my useful body and teacher-student relationship for you, so that I can restrict you!

Looking at Chaozhong, only the old man has such qualifications, and this is the old man's responsibility!When the old man took you, he buried today's fate. "

After a moment of astonishment, Qin Dewei couldn't help stretching out his thumbs and praised: "Teacher, you have done a great job in mental construction, and you can be called a generation of great Confucianism."

No matter what reason is used as a fig leaf, as long as Mr. Zhang can convince himself.

The next day Qin Dewei accompanied Zhang Chao back to the capital, and then Zhang Xueshi received the imperial edict and moved from the Imperial Academy to the Ministry of Rites to take up his post.

From then on, Zhang Xueshi was Zhang Shangshu, honored as Da Zongbo, or Chunguan.

After the ceremony was completed, the ministers thought that Emperor Jiajing must be full of ambition, work hard, and then have a good year first.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing did not go to court for the entire November, and he did not even appear in front of his ministers. Even the Winter Solstice, one of the biggest court ceremonies, was cancelled!

Now all the ministers understood that something must have happened.

Then came the news that Emperor Jiajing's biological mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, was in a critical condition. Countless Taoist priests prayed for the Empress Dowager Jiang in the palace.

The newcomers who entered the court in recent years may not know it, but the old people know what the Empress Dowager Jiang means to Emperor Jiajing.

During the Great Ceremony that year, Emperor Jiajing, a young man who was a newcomer, fought against the elders and veterans of the court. To a large extent, it was the courage given by the Empress Dowager Jiang, who was the spiritual pillar of Emperor Jiajing.

In the attention of the Manchu Dynasty, on the fourth day of December, Empress Dowager Jiang passed away, ending the legendary life of going from the capital to Anlu and returning to the capital from Anlu.

Emperor Jiajing cried on the ground from the bottom of his heart, and almost fainted. Xia Yan and other cabinet scholars and Zhang Chao and other officials from the Ministry of Rites supported him several times.

A few days later, when Emperor Jiajing's mood stabilized a bit, a condolence ceremony was held in Wenhua Hall, and all civil and military officials entered the hall to comfort Emperor Jiajing.

This is also the first time that Emperor Jiajing has made his public appearance in front of his courtiers in the past twenty days.

Standing in the team, Qin Dewei secretly sighed, fearing that there will be less and less scenes of court meetings between monarchs and ministers in the future.

Anyone who knows history knows that Emperor Jiajing only loved to write small notes for ministers to guess riddles, instead of talking face to face.

In addition to comforting the emperor, the main content of this consolation ceremony was to discuss the affairs of Empress Dowager Jiang.

Emperor Jiajing's first decree was to ask the Ministry of Rites to give the Empress Dowager Jiang a posthumous title.

Emperor Jiajing's second thought was that he suspected that his aunt, Empress Dowager Zhang, had cursed her own mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, with witchcraft, and wanted to abolish Empress Dowager Zhang.

All the ministers immediately exploded, and countless grass-mud horses roared past in their hearts, and the emperor's anger was completely unreasonable.

The ministers who were almost insane swarmed up regardless of loyalty and treachery, and forcibly persuaded the Emperor Jiajing who was also almost insane.

After all, Emperor Jiajing was nominally established by the Empress Dowager Zhang. Your abolition of the Empress Dowager Zhang can be regarded as treasonous, your majesty, without the support of any natural or legal principles!
And if Queen Mother Zhang is abolished, what will happen to your own legal system, Your Majesty?
Even Jie Zhou can't do things like this!

The big bosses standing in the front looked at each other, and those who had a good understanding understood that now they had to say something else to distract the emperor's attention, lest the emperor go crazy again.

Just what to say, everyone can't decide.The emperor's mood is unpredictable, and his mood is unstable now, so it is very risky to say anything.

Yan Song, who claimed to know the emperor the most recently, the third university scholar, suddenly came out, playing with a mournful face:

"I heard that the Holy Mother once wrote a volume of "Women's Training" when she was hiding in the palace. Why don't you organize and print it and distribute it to the world!"

Emperor Jiajing felt a little relieved in his heart, and couldn't help saying with red eyes: "Yes! The Virgin Mother gave birth to me and gave birth to me, and I have inherited the benevolent training. It should have been amended as a legacy, and it will be a legacy for all ages."

The rest of the people could only sigh, as expected of Yan Song, who knows how to coax the emperor, and treacherous ministers are also useful for treacherous ministers.

Yan Song was secretly proud, and was about to continue talking.Because there is still a very critical question, who will compile this "Women's Training" by Queen Mother Jiang?
Those who are knowledgeable know that as long as they are in charge of compiling this "Women's Training", they will definitely be promoted after completion. Don't doubt Emperor Jiajing's filial piety to his parents!
And this "Women's Training" is said to only have one volume, which is not too long, and it should be finished soon.

Although others are also interested, they are embarrassed to come out and grab it directly, because it was suggested by Mr. Yan Ge.

According to the rules, let Mr. Yan Ge speak first, unless you have other reasons, but it is already impossible.Can you still say, don't compile the broken book "Women's Training" by Empress Dowager Jiang?
It was too late and then too fast, before the elder Yan Ge had time to speak again, a person rushed out from the back row, rushed to the front of the throne, and played to Emperor Jiajing: "What Yan Song said is not enough, and his consideration is very poor, my minister Qin Dewei A few words must be added!"

Although Yan Song didn't believe that Qin Dewei could conjure flowers, he always had a bad feeling.

Qin Dewei continued to play: "I, Ming Dynasty, published the "Biography of Empress Gao" which recorded the life and words and deeds of Empress Gao in the past, and also published "Internal Training of Empress Wen", which are all treasures of women's virtues in the palace!

Now that the Holy Mother has "Women's Training", it is better to compile it together with "Queen Gao's Biography" and "Queen Wen's Internal Training" and reprint it to set an example for all generations! "

Yan Song: "."

Empress Gao is Empress Ma of Emperor Taizu Gao, and Empress Wen is Empress Xu of Emperor Chengzu Wen. These two are figures with extremely high status in the harem of the Ming Dynasty.

Comparing Empress Dowager Jiang with those two, and compiling related works together, wouldn't that elevate Empress Dowager Jiang to the same status as Empress Gao and Empress Wen?
Thinking of the mourning behind his mother, Emperor Jiajing's eyes turned red again, and he choked up and said, "Let's do it like this, let Qin Dewei organize and compile it, and I will write the preface myself."

Qin Dewei immediately accepted the order!As a high-ranking imperial official, there is nothing wrong with being ordered to compile a book!It's not that I haven't edited it!

Yan Song felt that he was going to explode, and almost snatched the gourd from the warrior in the hall, and then beat Qin Dewei to death.

Mahle Gobi, no personnel involved, grab the No.1 credit!One can be another!
Everyone looked at Yan Song, then at Qin Dewei, and suddenly sympathized with Yan Song.Although this is a traitor, it is really pitiful.

Why did it become like this, it was obviously Mr. Yan Ge who came first
In addition, Qin Dewei's routine is not new. When Qin Dewei compiled "Emperor's Precepts", he stuffed "Presenting the Emperor's Precepts" into it.

Now the compilation of Empress Dowager Jiang's "Women's Training" with Empress Gao and Empress Wen is the same routine as before.

But the most irritating thing is, why didn't they think of such a free promotion opportunity?
　I'm too lazy to take it apart, let's have a piece of hair
