Chapter 625 It is useless to think too much
Miss Li played in Wang Lianqing's courtyard all afternoon, and it was interesting watching the five beauties rehearse "The Romance of the West Chamber".I wish I could become Zhang Sheng in person and go up and molested the little matchmaker.

At dusk, Miss Li returned to the courtyard where their siblings lived, but was called over by her elder brother Li Jing.

Li Jing looked at his younger sister, sighed and said, "We have to think about the future."

As far as the current life of their brother and sister is concerned, they are actually doing well, but now Li Jing, the elder brother, is always not at ease.

Three or four years ago, Li Jing came to Jingying from Liaodong, and has been gilding in Jingying in the name of a squadron.

After three years of "performance appraisal" and thanks to the conquest of Annan, Li Jing's official rank was promoted by two ranks from being a commander to becoming a commander.

Of course, in the Beijing camp, even a commander is nothing, especially if he is from another place.

Li Jing's current actual position in the Beijing camp is only the commander-in-chief of a certain regiment of cavalry, which is almost his ceiling.

In the [-]th Regiment Battalion of the Beijing Division, each regiment has military positions such as admirals and battalions, and under the battalions there are coordinating battalions. These are all regarded as high-level military positions in the Beijing Camp.

Further down, there are middle-level military positions such as Dabazong, Qianzong, Xiaobazong, etc., but there is a huge gap between intermediate and high-level, and they are two different levels of people.

Although it is said that the official rank and the military position of the battalion officer do not have to be strictly equal, if you don't get mixed up to the rank of the commander of the second rank, you generally don't want to be a coordinating battalion officer.

So if Li Jing, the field commander, can become a big boss in the Beijing camp, it is basically over and there is no future.

Moreover, Li Jing's status was always the squadron sent by Liaodong to the Beijing camp, and his roots were still in Liaodong. He was really confused about what to do in the future.

At the same time, the relationship between the younger sister Li Shu and Qin Dewei has always been unclear, and it is not a long-term solution to have no name or title.

But Qin Dewei definitely couldn't give his younger sister the status of wife, and made Li Jing, an elder brother, not know what to say to his old family.

Now that my younger sister is also a big girl in her twenties, it is really hard to drag it on like this in a daze.

Thinking of the future of the two of them, Li Jing became more and more troubled, and it was all muddled.

Miss Li was not affected, and said with a smile: "I thought something happened to the eldest brother, so that's all."

Li Jing said dissatisfied: "Life is not a child's play, don't you have any worries about the future?"

"There's nothing to worry about!" Miss Li said indifferently.

Li Jing asked suspiciously: "Do you have a clear idea?"

"No!" Miss Li said indifferently.

The younger sister's completely irresponsible attitude towards her own life made Li Jing very angry, so she wanted to reprimand her.

But Miss Li said confidently: "Don't think too much, just ask Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin will solve it!

People like Mr. Qin like others to be obedient.So just listen to his arrangement honestly, and enjoy yourself relaxing, it’s useless to think too much! "

Li Jing: "."

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether my sister was really stupid, or wise and stupid?
Miss Li turned around and walked out again, "I'll go over there and ask, brother, don't waste your time thinking about it yourself."

When she came to the main room of the main courtyard, she happened to bump into Qin Dewei who had returned from the innocence.

After listening to Miss Li's words, Qin Dewei nodded: "I see, you just let your elder brother wait for the arrangement."

This answer was completely expected by Miss Li, so she responded with a smile: "Then please excuse me, Mr. Qin!"

Xu Miaoxuan, who was next to her, asked a question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time: "Why is the younger sister of the Li family always called Mr. Qin? It sounds like a natural division."

In fact, Miss Li didn't understand either, she glanced at Qin Dewei and said, "He said it sounds interesting, so he called it like that."

Qin Dewei was very concerned about the matter of the Li family brothers and sisters, and went to Jingying East Official Hall the next day to find Wang Tingxiang.

"Senior, I have something to ask of you, see if you can agree." Qin Dewei asked calmly.

Wang Ting, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments and Governor of the Beijing Camp, was no longer familiar with Qin Dewei. Mo Dewei raised his hand emotionally, gestured and responded:

"Whether the old man asks you to say it or not, or whether the old man agrees or not, is that useful? So you can do whatever you want."

Qin Dewei was also polite, "That's it. I think Li Jing is a good person. You can arrange for him to be gilded with a coordinating officer."

Although he claimed to have gotten used to Qin Dewei's speaking style, Wang Tingxiang still wanted to point to the gate and say to Qin Dewei, "You are mellow."

He knew that Li Jing was the elder brother of Qin Dewei's young lover who was good at fighting, and now his official rank had been promoted to commander, and his military position in the Beijing camp was the chief of the cavalry.

But it is not so difficult for Li Jing, a foreign commander, to be a coordinating battalion officer in the Beijing camp.

There is a huge gap between middle-level military positions and high-level military positions. They are simply two classes. Is it so easy to cross classes?

Especially in the capital city where there are a lot of dukes and dukes and nepotism everywhere, a coordinating camp officer may have more than a dozen relatives of dukes and dukes staring at them.

So Wang Tingxiang explained patiently: "It's not that the old man is unwilling to help. Although I, the governor, are responsible for the evaluation of meritorious service, the selection of military positions is actually more up to the Ministry of War.

Generally, the selection of people who are normal and unremarkable, the old man may still have some face, and it will be settled after a few words.

But if you want an out-of-town commander to be a coordinating battalion officer, it is beyond the scope of this old man's ability. This old man really doesn't have such power! "

Qin Dewei looked at Wang Tingxiang and asked, "Is it really impossible?"

Wang Tingxiang replied firmly: "I can't do it!"

Qin Dewei got up and left, muttering in his mouth: "I was planning to push you to become Minister of the Ministry of War"

"Slow down! Slow down!" Wang Tingxiang called to Qin Dewei who had already walked to the door.

Then he hesitated and asked: "The old man is old, and his ears are not very good, as if he heard you just said the words "Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"

Qin Dewei turned around, "I just counted, and Zhang Zan will be the Secretary of the Ministry of War for a long time."

If someone else said these words, Wang Tingxiang might not take them seriously, but this is Qin Dewei!
Wang Tingxiang's old eyes in his [-]s actually burst out with a passion no less than that of a young man, but his movements were natural, and he gently twirled his beard and smiled:

"If the old man can serve as Minister of the Ministry of War and Governor of the Beijing Camp, he will have enough power to select talents beyond the rules. It is no problem to recommend your father as governor."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Governor of the Beijing Camp are always a bit nondescript. Although the six departments are of the same grade, there is also a chain of contempt among them.

But no matter how they are arranged, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry are at the bottom, and the Ministry of War is one level higher than these two.

With the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of the Beijing Camp, plus the Crown Prince and Taibao, it is probably the limit that Wang Tingxiang, who is over sixty years old, can pursue in his life. It belongs to the kind of pursuit that life and death have no regrets.

Qin Dewei looked at Senior Wang with pity: "Sleep more if you have nothing to do, you have everything in your dreams, and it's useless if you think about it too much in reality."

Wang Tingxiang: "."

Since it is useless to think too much, then why did you Qin Dewei mention the Minister of the Ministry of War in the first place?Just for fun?
Mr. Wang silently looked at the governor's pacesetters outside, wanting to imitate the generals in the storybook, and ordered to hit Qin Dewei with the eighty kill stick first.

Qin Dewei felt that if he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, he might not be able to get out of the gate, so he quickly said:

"Old man, you can't blame me. I definitely hope that you can become Minister of the Ministry of War, but don't forget that there is still Mao Bowen who has returned from the Southern Expedition, so it's useless if you think too much."

Mao Bowen is also a second-rank official, a fellow member of the first assistant Xia Yan, and is currently unemployed just like his stepfather.

Wang Tingxiang has more than forty years of experience in the officialdom, and he can understand it without a single point. He pointed at Qin Dewei and said angrily, "You are such a devil!"

Qin Dewei replied: "I have no other meaning. The Minister of the Ministry of War must still be selected according to the normal selection process. But I didn't choose you to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. Do you understand what I mean?

You asked me what to do just now, and I said I have no comment, and you are not happy.If you want to ask me whether I support you or not, I do, and I will tell you clearly."

Qin Dewei's hint is very clear, of course I support you, Senior Wang, but Xia Shoufu should support Mao Bowen.

Then, Senior Wang, will you stand by your old ally Xia Yan from now on, or by me?
After talking with Wang Tingxiang, another question that tested human nature was left, so Qin Dewei hid at home, keeping a low profile and avoiding rumors outside.

The fact that Scholar Qin brought a huge sum of 5000 taels to Da Sima's house to give gifts has been regarded as an anecdote in the past few days, and it has been steadily circulated in the officialdom of the capital.

No one can understand the depth of it, but it does not affect everyone's enthusiasm for spreading. After all, this fact is too curious, and the protagonist is a celebrity superstar like Qin Dewei.

In the eyes of most people, this is regarded as a performance art that satirizes the face.

Probably Qin Xueshi didn't like Zhang Da Sima, so he deliberately came up with this trick to disgust Zhang Da Sima. There were even rumors that the five boxes were actually stones or iron.

Zhang Zan himself was still a little uneasy. He looked around for advice from acquaintances, thinking that by working together, he might be able to find the problem.

But without exception, no one can give any reliable answer.

This rumor naturally also entered into the daily information of Dongchang, but the eunuch Qin, the factory owner, understood that the current emperor may not be in the mood to listen to Dongchang's daily information as gossip like in the past.

Today, the Qin eunuch went to Qianqing Palace early in the morning, but he was in vain. Emperor Jiajing went to the Xuanji Palace last night to have a feast, and stayed here temporarily.

Standing outside the Xuanji Palace, the Qin eunuch who was waiting for the result of his request sighed secretly, with a worried expression on his face.

Maybe the ministers of the foreign dynasty have not noticed the change, but the emperor's cronies like the eunuch Qin have discovered that since the death of Empress Dowager Jiang, the emperor is really different from usual.

Although the original emperor also practiced immortality, his focus was still on government affairs, and he could be called diligent.A trusted eunuch like Qin eunuch often sees the emperor about twice a day.

But now the emperor is suddenly so obsessed with Zhaijiao that even the Qin eunuch may not be able to see him every day.

It turned out that every morning, the eunuch of Qin would meet with the emperor and tell the emperor the daily information of Dongchang as a joke.

But now, the emperor who often lives in fasting basically doesn't listen to these things.

Of course, the eunuch Qin's request to see the emperor today was not to tell jokes, but to have other important matters. Otherwise, he would disturb the emperor's cultivation of immortality for no reason, and it would be tantamount to asking for trouble instead of gain.

While the eunuch Qin was thinking wildly, he sent a message from the Xuanji Palace to let the eunuch Qin have an audience.

Emperor Jiajing was sitting on a high platform meditating, the eunuch Qin didn't dare to look at it, and lowered his head to report the affairs of the southern patrol.

"It is planned to have [-] guards in Jinyi, [-] in the banner school, and [-] other pro-army officers and soldiers. As for the allocation of silver taels."

Hearing this, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and fell into deep thought, and the eunuch Qin also stopped.

Although there was no communication, Emperor Jiajing knew what the problem was, and the eunuch Qin knew what the problem was.

Two words, no money!Four words, there is no money in the inner bank!
In the past few years, the Taimiao was newly built, and two empress dowager palaces were built. The treasury and silver consumption was already huge, and after the death of the Empress Dowager Jiang at the end of last year, it cost countless silver taels.

And this year has just started the spring, and all kinds of tax money have not been confiscated and released to the internal treasury, and it is at a critical juncture.

Although there are local supplies for the southern tour team along the way, the emperor has to pay for subsidies, otherwise, depending on the economic level of the states and counties along the way, how can they have the financial resources to carry out such a huge supply in a hurry.

Moreover, the emperor planned to send important officials to visit the nine borders with silver taels during the southern tour, to boost morale and stabilize the frontier with rewards, which was another big expense.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing was also a little worried, even the treasury Taicang silver was also very tight, and it was not necessary to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Qin eunuch took the opportunity to solve the problem and said: "Zhang Yanling has been imprisoned for several years, but His Majesty is kind, and has never copied the Zhang family. Now that the expenses are insufficient, it is better"

Emperor Jiajing raised his hand to stop the Qin eunuch from continuing.

This matter was mentioned by more than one surnamed Qin, but Emperor Jiajing still couldn't let go of his face, afraid of being pointed out that he was greedy for the Zhang family's wealth.

But now at the point of extreme lack of money, Emperor Jiajing is really tempted by the Zhang family's property.

But the emperor's dignity does not allow him to backtrack, so think again.

Eunuch Qin didn't dare to continue persuading him at this point, and it would be too much to say.

Then the Qin eunuch took out the booklet and played to Emperor Jiajing: "Please read the recent Dongchang information, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing only asked, "Is there something important?"

After so many years, the eunuch Qin probably also knew the standard of "big things" in Emperor Jiajing's mind, so he replied simply: "It's not a big thing."

Then Emperor Jiajing didn't bother to pay attention, and asked the Qin eunuch to step down.

He also asked the Qin eunuch to spread an edict to the outside world, to hold a court meeting on February [-]th, convene ministers above the third rank and Hanlin officials, and finally finalize all matters related to the southern tour.

The eunuch Qin reluctantly withdrew from the Xuanji Palace. Now not only did he meet the emperor less often, even if he could meet the emperor, the communication and interaction were much less than in the past.

If you could interact with a hundred sentences in the past, now you can interact with ten sentences!
Fortunately, he was not the only one like this, everyone else was like this, otherwise he, eunuch Qin, would really not be able to sleep.
