Chapter 657
Descending from Chunde Mountain, Emperor Jiajing returned to Qingyun Palace in Zhongxiang City, and all the officials with him drove away.

Yan Shifan was depressed, even a little bit lost, and he was not at all happy after getting an official position in the Ministry of Industry.

Yan Song seldom saw his son with such a downcast expression, so he persuaded him: "Why is this?"

Yan Shifan said very irritably: "Why are things that should belong to me always being intercepted by Qin Dewei repeatedly? And more than once!"

Regarding this issue, Yan Song couldn't explain clearly, and he was always intercepted by Qin Dewei, and he was often suspicious in the dark.

Regarding this, Yan Song could only say helplessly: "You are not the only smart person in the world, Qin Dewei can always think of a place with us, and he moves faster.

In other words, it may not be that he moves fast, but that his consciousness is earlier, so he can always be one step ahead of us. "

Yan Shifan said angrily, "Then what should we do?"

On the contrary, Yan Song said calmly: "There is no need to do anything, Qin Dewei is not really blocking the way."

There are two meanings in this. Firstly, the next step for a bachelor is the first assistant, and Qin Dewei is not a competitor of the first assistant, and it is even impossible to join the cabinet in the short term.

Second, Qin Dewei's expansion of power in this way actually affects the power and prestige of Xia Yan, the chief assistant of the government, not Yan Song, a great scholar.

On the next day, the imperial court held a sacrificial ceremony in the Longfei Hall of Qingyun Palace, offering sacrifices to the Emperor and God, and offering sacrifices to the emperor with Ruizong, and offering sacrifices to the land and mountains and rivers.

All the prose written by Yan Song and Qin Dewei together with students from the county school came in handy here.

After the grand ceremony, Emperor Jiajing went to the Xianling Mausoleum in Chunde Mountain again to pay homage to Emperor Kao. This time Qin Dewei was able to accompany him, and he should make "Rereading the Song of Xianling Mausoleum".

The official ceremonies were basically over here, and after that, the emperor summoned the elders and gentry and announced activities such as exempting local taxes for three years.

At this time, Qin Dewei asked Emperor Jiajing to resign to go to investigate the waterway, and Emperor Jiajing ordered him to return to Beijing within two months.

Qin Dewei took his entourage, first went south along the Han River, and then went east along the Dajiang River, all the way was smooth and smooth.

At the end of March, Zhan Shi, a young man of Zhan Shifu, and Qin Dewei, a scholar of Zuochunfang University and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, finally returned to Nanjing after a year and a half away, and it was still the best season of spring.

On the way, Bachelor Qin still dealt with the government along the way, but when he approached the city of Nanjing, he calmed down and kept a low profile.

For no other reason, Scholar Qin didn't want to go ashore and enter the city with great vigor and attention, nor did he want to be greeted by a large group of gentry at the pier like he was chasing after him.

There are two large piers outside Nanjing City, one is Longjiang Pass outside Yifeng Gate in the north of the city, and the other is outside Jiangdong Gate in the east of the city.

Because Qin Dewei was in a hurry, when he arrived at the pier outside Jiangdongmen, it was already dark, and the outer city gate of Jiangdongmen had been closed, so he could not pass into the city.

But there is a big market outside Jiangdongmen, and the commerce is very developed, so eating, lodging and even entertainment are not a problem.

Qin Dewei and his party found an inn, booked a private courtyard to live in, and then ate at a nearby restaurant.

Qin Dewei had already changed into the clothes of an ordinary scholar. Apart from his handsome appearance, he was ordinary and not particularly eye-catching.

When I entered, I saw two young scholars sitting in the lobby, talking loudly.A round-faced scholar said to another long-faced scholar: "You came at the right time. The New Jinling Poetry Club is having a lot of fun these days."

Qin Dewei didn't pay attention to these two people at first, and was planning to go up the stairs to find an Accord on the second floor.

But after hearing what the round-faced scholar said, Qin Dewei was a little puzzled, so he walked over and asked, "This friend invited me. I only heard that there is Qingxi Poetry Club in Nanjing. What is this New Jinling Poetry Club?" ?”

The round-faced scholar looked up and saw that he was a fellow student who was studying, so he replied: "My friend, are you from other places? The Qingxi Poetry Club you mentioned is from the old imperial calendar, and the current fashion is the New Jinling Poetry Club. The source comes from Qin Zhuangyuan, you should know about Qin Zhuangyuan, right?"

Qin Dewei became even more curious, took advantage of the opportunity to sit down, and first said: "It is fate to meet each other, and today I will be the host."

The round-faced scholar hurriedly introduced himself: "I'm Jiao Wenjie, a student from Jiangning."

Jiangning County student members?Qin Dewei also came from Jiangning County School, but he didn't know him, probably he just entered the school recently.

He casually replied: "Zhang Juzheng is in Jiangling. He just came from Huguang and was about to ask for advice. What's going on with the New Jinling Poetry Club?"

Jiao Wenjie explained: "The new Jinling style in our Nanjing poetry circle was first advocated by Qin Zhuangyuan, and this is also the origin of the name of the New Jinling Poetry Club."

Qin Dewei asked again: "Who initiated this New Jinling Poetry Society? Your Excellency just said, what does it mean that there is a lot of excitement these days?"

Jiao Wenjie smiled wryly for some reason, "Speaking of this poetry club, the situation inside is complicated. Originally, it was advocated by the disciples and grandchildren of Qin Zhuangyuan last year to form a new Jinling Poetry Club."

The corner of Qin Dewei's mouth twitched, what the hell are disciples and grandchildren?

Then Jiao Wenjie continued: "The leaders are Wang Fengyuan, He Liangjun, Gao Changjiang, etc. I don't know if you have heard of it, but anyway, these people are very close to Qin Zhuangyuan.

However, these people had internal strife and fought over who should be the host of the poetry club. The three of them also had their own supporters in the literary world, and they had been arguing all along. "

Qin Dewei was extremely speechless, he didn't expect such a bloody thing to happen, he shook his head and said, "What's there to argue about hosting a mere poetry club?"

Jiao Wenjie was a little dissatisfied with Qin Dewei's contemptuous attitude, and explained with a heavier tone:
"Why is it not worth fighting for? Now that the older generation of the literary world is gradually closing the curtain, whoever can be the host, when Qin Zhuangyuan is not in Nanjing, will be a logical leader in the literary world in the future!"

Qin Dewei couldn't help but asked, "Then who do you support?"

Jiao Wenjie took it for granted: "I must support my classmate Gao Changjiang!"

Qin Dewei didn't know what to say, and then asked: "In your opinion, which of these three has a better chance of winning?"

After careful consideration, Jiao Wenjie analyzed seriously: "It's hard to say, the three of them have their own advantages.

Senior Wang Fengyuan came from Shangyuan. He became famous very early and had a lot of talent. It is said that he was the strongest young talent other than Qin Zhuangyuan. The scholars in Shangyuan County must support him.

Although He Liangjun was from Songjiang, he was born in the family of the Qin family and had an unusual relationship with the Qin family. Naturally, the scholars living in Nanjing also supported him.

Senior Gao Changjiang is said to be a close friend of Qin Zhuangyuan. The disadvantage is that he failed to win the election, but the advantage is that he has strong financial resources. The seniors of Jiangning County School all support him.

There are a lot of literati gatherings in spring, and I guess we will see the outcome in the next few days. I really don’t know who will win in the end. "

Qin Dewei shook his head, and commented: "It's all full of food, and it hurts to be idle."
