Chapter 739 The dog that bites doesn't bark

Chapter 739 Biting dogs don't bark (ask for a monthly ticket!)
To discuss the meritorious service of civil servants and conferring titles, we must start with the system. Of course, all the systems of the Ming Dynasty originated from Emperor Taizu Gao.

At the beginning, Taizu only set three rules on the issue of knighting civil servants. First, civil servants are not allowed to be knighted unless they have made great contributions to the country;

Second, civil servants are not allowed to be named dukes, at most they can only be named earls;
Thirdly, if you are a general and a prime minister during your lifetime, those who can eliminate serious troubles and serve the country loyally, together with the meritorious deeds of the founding of the country, can be granted the posthumous posthumous title.

However, these three articles are not a complete institutional system. They are all generalized, without detailed provisions, and are very lack of enforcement.

For example, what level of credit is considered great merit?For another example, the Ming Dynasty had a civil and military separation system, who could be the prime minister and the general?
Later, in the specific implementation, the issue of the canonization of civil servants was the same as the presentation of captives. It was very random and there were no fixed rules.

Moreover, there are too few examples of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty being knighted. We all know that the three major examples of being knighted for military merit are Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Weining Bo Wang Yue, and Xinjian Bo Wang Yangming.

Everyone's situation is different, and there is no typicality and representativeness at all, so there is no so-called "conventional rule" to follow.

Therefore, Qin Dewei's military achievements this time can only be discussed separately, and he cannot use any previous template to apply.

But when it comes to Qin Dewei, it is a sensitive issue of rewards, but no one dares to talk nonsense at this moment.

After Qin Dewei's great victory in the fortress, even the first assistant Xia Yan and the academician Yan Song were humiliated. Who else would dare to speak casually?

Even if he was "well-intentioned" to help make suggestions, who knows whether Qin Dewei himself is satisfied or not?

Therefore, one thing more is worse than one thing less, and some people even shouted: "Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites can decide it with one word!"

Anyway, you, Zhang Chao, are Qin Dewei's double master, no matter what Qin Dewei thinks about the reward method you have proposed, you dare not express dissatisfaction publicly, so why let others express their opinions?
The elders of the two powerful courts were dumb and didn't want to get involved in this matter, but some time ago, they tried hard to resign three times, but were kept by the emperor's Yin Yin three times. The real fake scholar Zhai Luan who said he was sick at home every day, was the first to speak at this time.

Everyone was a little surprised, you, Zhai Luan, are a "dying man", just a punching bag left by the emperor to Qin Dewei!

When Qin Dewei's class teacher returns to the court, he will immediately let Ni Di Luan know what the sky is shining, why do you dare to speak out?

Seeing that his political life had already entered the countdown, the senior scholar Zhai said impassionedly: "Qin Dewei's supervisor went out of the fortress and beheaded [-] people, which is in line with the great merit that Emperor Gao said, and should be knighted!
That's my opinion, who dares to disagree with me! "

Everyone: "."

There are too many slots to spit out.

Immediately afterwards, someone still shouted: "I object!" Everyone followed the sound, and it turned out that it was Wang Tingxiang again.

Wang Tingxiang looked left and right and said: "Although Qin Dewei's achievements are great, firstly, he did not destroy the country, secondly, he did not severely injure the main force of Alta, and thirdly, he did not relieve the people from hanging upside down, that is to say, there were more beheadings!

As far as I know, his number of beheadings is also opportunistic!
That Bailian rebelled and built a city in Fengzhou Beach, but Qin Dewei attacked unexpectedly, blocked the city gate and set fire to it, the people in the city could only escape from the city gate and then be beheaded, of course the number of heads was large.

Among the few predecessors, they either suppressed countless chaos in Xirong for a long time, or severely damaged the headquarters of the little prince in the North, or quelled a large-scale clan rebellion. Compared with them, Qin Dewei is almost meaningless.

All in all, I don't think Qin Dewei can be called the great meritorious service that his ancestors said, and it would be too much to confer a title this time! "

Zhai Luan reminded: "Could it be that you ignored Wang Junchuan? Qin Dewei also quelled the rebellion in Datong where Zhen and Fu colluded with the clan and the White Lotus Demon Sect, and collaborated with the enemy."

Wang Tingxiang argued: "That is another matter, which needs to be discussed separately. It cannot be confused with military merit!"

Zhai Luan was a little angry, pointed at Wang Tingxiang and said: "You are so unreasonable to argue! Beheading three thousand and two hundred is not considered a great achievement, so what is a great achievement?

What's more, since the Chenghua Dynasty, the imperial court has had unwritten laws and regulations. Civil servants can be knighted by military merit. There are two kinds of military merit. One is great merit, and the other is minor merit.

Uncle Jingyuan is a result of little effort, Uncle Weining is a combination of both, and Uncle Xinjian is a great contribution to quelling the chaos of King Ning!

Even if you don't think that Qin Dewei counted it as a great achievement this time, even if it is based on small achievements, Qin Dewei is enough to be a knight!

The first is to put down the Liaodong Mutiny, the second is to plan to put down Annan, the third is to put down the rebellion of the Datong clan, and the fourth is the great victory of this trip! "

Wang Tingxiang immediately retorted: "But Qin Dewei's previous contributions have already been rewarded, how can he repeat the reward?"

Everyone just felt like watching the scenery, strange things happen every year, especially today!
The person who almost brought Qin Dewei to the sky is now trying his best to praise Qin Dewei's achievements and wants to confer Qin Dewei a knighthood.

Just now for Qin Dewei's sake, he pointed at the Minister of the Ministry of War who had a straight nose, but now he is trying his best to belittle Qin Dewei's achievements.

Probably only in temples can we see such magical scenery.

The situation is actually very obvious, Zhai Luan wants to give Qin Dewei a title, but Wang Tingxiang does not want to let the super clean Qin Dewei be stained with honor, so as not to affect his official career.

After all, civil servants and nobles are two completely different groups, and Qin Dewei has a bright future with civil servants, so it would be a pity to become a noble official.

Moreover, there was another example 20 years ago. After Wang Yangming was rumored to be knighted, he was rejected by a certain chief minister and refused Wang Yangming to enter Beijing.Of course, these are just rumors, not necessarily true.

But Wang Tingxiang's nonsense finally angered Zhai Luan completely, and he couldn't help shouting:
"According to the system of the ancestors, the nobles of the princes and uncles are all determined by their merits! Gein has no official rewards for his previous and previous achievements, and then he will be added to the ranks!

Dare I ask Wang Da Sima, if there is no title, what official can Qin Dewei reward for the beheading of [-] people? "

This question really stumped Wang Tingxiang, and Wang Da Sima really couldn't answer it.

A 22-year-old person has entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion, is also the third in command of the Hanlin Academy, and the second in command of Zhan Shifu in the East Palace. How can he be promoted?

The point is that Qin Dewei's merits are very great. In fact, he beheaded [-] people, and he also captured important people.

If you only want to be promoted to one rank, it's like dismissing beggars, but if you want to be promoted to two or three ranks, it's the end of the civil service system. Could it be possible to arrange for Qin Dewei to have a living grand master?

Listening to Zhai Luan and Wang Ting's heated debate, everyone felt that the truth became clearer as they debated.

Considering all the conditions, it seems that Qin Dewei can only be knighted.

Zhai Luan concluded eloquently: "So it is imperative to confer Qin Dewei a knighthood. Not being knighted is not enough to reward merit. Who else would object?"

Everyone had nothing to say, their words were not as well prepared as Wang Tingxiang, even Wang Tingxiang had never argued with Zhai Luan, let alone others.

Unknowingly, Zhai Luan, a real parallel importer, seemed to have taken over Zhang Chao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and began to preside over Qin Dewei's meritorious deeds.

Only Zhai Luan said to the crowd: "I have drawn up a title title, please listen carefully!
Since it is the great victory at Fengzhoutan, and the location is in ancient Fengzhou, then follow the old rules of Weiningbo and Xinjianbo, and use the place where the meritorious service was made as the title of title!
Therefore, the title can be called Uncle Fengzhou, and the title is Doctor Fengzhou Bert Jin Guanglu, the minister of Fengtian Yiwei who pushed his sincerity and declared his strength to defend the text!Who is against? "

"Fengtian Yiwei promotes sincerity, proclaims strength and uprightness" is a customary title, as long as the Duke of Duke has this kind of title as the prefix of the title, it means that the civil and military titles are different.

In fact, this title is quite speechless. In front of it, "Fengtian Yiwei pushes sincerity, declares strength and keeps upright" is the name of civil servants, and later Fengzhou Bo became the name of nobles, and then came a special doctor Guanglu, grafted It sounds a bit nondescript.

There is no way out, Daming has always been messy about ennobling civil servants, judging from Emperor Gao's guiding intentions, he doesn't want to confer titles on civil servants.

Even so, others still have nothing to say.Until then, everyone discovered that the person who was the most prepared today was Zhai Luan.
There is no omniscient person in this world, and most people may not be able to fully understand the old regulations and the rules and regulations in the pile of old papers.

Besides, this is to give merit to others, and most people are not interested in searching for chapters and excerpts for others.

Therefore, Zhai Luan quoted scriptures, knew the knighthood system like the back of his hand, and explained the old rules in eloquence. Obviously, he secretly put a lot of effort into it.

Di Luan looked around, "Since there is no objection, then please ask the Ministry of Rites to present the performance to the emperor in this way."

Everyone couldn't help but be in a trance. It is extremely rare for civil servants to be knighted by military merits. Whenever it happens, it is regarded as a momentary classic.

It seems that this year, everyone will be able to see another civil servant who was knighted alive.

For the top civil servants who can participate in this meeting, their attitudes towards knighthood are actually very contradictory.

I want it, I don’t want it, and I don’t know if I should.After being knighted, is he considered a civil servant or a noble?Or is it uncivilized?

This kind of chaotic mentality can also be reflected from the side, the chaos and dislocation of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

When everyone thought it was over, Zhai Luan suddenly spoke again, obviously the matter was not over yet.

"If you give Qin Dewei a title, it's not just about adding a title. There are still a series of follow-up questions. I still need to wait for my discussion to be clear, so I can tell His Majesty!"

Someone asked, "What else?"

Zhai Luan first raised a question: "After Qin Dewei was ennobled, should he stand in the Western class or the Eastern class at the court meeting?"

Everyone was speechless. How long has it been since the emperor Xiyuan subconsciously cultivated?Also consider the shift position, isn't it a bit redundant?

Of course, this idea is very politically incorrect, and everyone can only think about it, but cannot say it out loud.

At the court meeting, the class of civil servants is in the east, and the class of military officials and nobles is in the west. This is the origin of the term Dongban and Xiban.

So the essence of the question is, Qin Dewei was originally from the Eastern Class. If he is knighted, should he go to the Western Class to stand with the military minister Xungui?
Regarding this question, everyone said a few words in one go, each with their own reasons.

Perhaps besides Zhai Luan, the most prepared Wang Tingxiang said: "After Wang Yue of the Chenghua Dynasty was granted the title of Weining Bo, he did not want to accept Spain as a military official, but still entered the court as the Zuodu censor, so follow the old example of Wang Yue. That's it!"

Di Luan said without raising his eyelids: "After Wang Yue was ennobled, he was in charge of the former military governor's mansion. General Pei Yinshou was in charge of the army abroad. He was a military official for a long time. Could it be that Qin Dewei followed the same old practice?"

Wang Tingxiang was choked again, let a number one scholar serve as a military minister, thanks to your ability to speak!
At this time, someone said: "Even if Qin Dewei was granted the title of title, his other official positions have not changed. In fact, he is still a civil servant. He is mainly on duty at Wenyuan Pavilion. Naturally, he must be regarded as a civil servant."

But Zhai Luan said again: "With the current atmosphere, there is nothing more noble than the cabinet ministers, and the most honorable among the cabinet ministers is the chief assistant.

After Qin Dewei was ennobled, his status and rank were higher than those of the cabinet ministers, how should he rank them?Is it possible that the first assistant should be ranked after Qin Dewei? "

In Daming, civil servants were generally of lower grade than Xungui, and even if they were the chief assistants of great scholars, they would generally be added to the first rank when they were alive.

So if Qin Dewei became a civil servant, his rank must be higher than that of other great scholars, which seems to be another problem.

Zhai Luan, who was in control of the situation, was quite high-spirited, "So in my opinion, after Qin Dewei is ennobled, he should not be in the cabinet, and he can be transferred to other official positions!"

Hearing this, everyone can only think of four words, that is, "Seeing in a poor way".

Zhai Luan beeped a lot in front of him, but the ultimate goal was still this!Let the knighted Qin Dewei leave Wenyuan Pavilion!
As long as Qin Dewei is not in Wenyuan Pavilion, the emperor forcibly "detains" Zhai University in Wenyuan Pavilion, and can sleep peacefully for the time being.

Zhai Luan glanced around, and asked again: "Anyone object?"

After being quiet for a long time, Zhang Chao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly said, "Who said that after Qin Dewei was ennobled, he must leave Wenyuan Pavilion? What kind of reasoning is this?"

Zhai Luan asked aggressively: "Is it reasonable for an earl to be in charge of Wenyuan Pavilion?"

Zhang Chao snorted coldly: "It's not without precedent. Xu Youzhen, Minister of the Military Department of the Tianshun Dynasty and a scholar of the Imperial Academy, was conferred the title of Martial Arts Master, and after winning the title, he still entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion with the title of Diange Grand Scholar!

The predecessors can do it, so why can't Qin Dewei continue to enter Zhiwenyuan Pavilion after he was ennobled?Can't we just cite the old example? "

Zhai Luan: "."

I worked hard to collect and analyze the three most famous cases of civil servants' military merits and knighthoods in recent years, and I didn't expect there to be exceptions!
Countless painstaking efforts were instantly reduced to dust!
There was a sound of fog and grass in the hearts of the rest of the people!It's been a long time since 80 years, thanks to you, Zhang Shangshu, you can still remember what happened 80 years ago!

Why can Xu Youzhen be named martial arts uncle?That's because he made great contributions in the "Change of Seizing the Gate", supported Emperor Yingzong's restoration, and then killed Yu Qian!
Of course, whether it is justice is another matter, but this Xu Youzhen is indeed considered a civil servant and knighted
No matter how shameless Xu Youzhen was, it was not easy to publicly deny Xu Youzhen in their hearts. After all, Emperor Yingzong was still the ancestor of the present, and there were many people and things that could not be criticized.

So I can only be convinced by Zhang Chao's capital letters, and even this "precedent" can be found and brought out, and I can't accept it.

Just now some people thought that Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, as the nominal host, would do nothing, just sit and watch Zhai Luan jump up and down.

Who would have thought that if a biting dog doesn't bark, Zhang Shangshu would be Wang Zha as soon as he made a move. At the critical moment, he directly overturned the conclusion that Zhai Luan most wanted to draw.

When the court encounters rare events, it generally likes to cite old cases. Since there are precedents, how to deal with them is not a problem.

Xu Youzhen can even step on a horse, why can't Qin Dewei?
Coupled with the emperor's appreciation and favor for Qin Dewei, there is a high probability that in the future it will be "Bo Fengzhou, enter Zhiwenyuan Pavilion, or not arrange maintenance".

 It's the end of the month, it's time to clear the monthly pass!You can see how much data I have analyzed for this chapter! !
  In addition, I would like to thank the leader of Xiaojuervortex. . .I think this is the second time, right?I'm still working on adding more things, just need to find the status.
