Chapter 740

The discussions on the two major themes have yielded results, and the court discussion has come to an end.

When walking out of the palace, one of the two kings, Shangshu Wang Yiqi of the Ministry of Hubu, said to Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, "Why is Junchuan so fierce today?"

Today Wang Tingxiang really dared to say that he said that the cabinet ministers were not as capable as Qin Dewei; he also said that it would be better to set up a military aircraft department so that Qin Dewei could bypass the constraints of the cabinet ministers.

Wang Tingxiang stroked his snow-white beard and sighed: "I am sixty and seventy years old, and it will be time to beg for bones in two or three years.

Life is seventy years old, so what should I worry about?Say more things that others dare not say, try your best to create momentum and pave the way for Qin Dewei.

I can see clearly that with the current state of the country, neither Xia Yan nor Yan Song has the ability of Zhongxing, and only Qin Dewei may have this ability. "

Wang Yiqi also sighed. Among other things, he knows the state of the national treasury best. It will definitely start to go short next year, or the year after.

When I first entered the officialdom, I never expected that I would become the Minister of the Ministry of Households in the future.

What's more, he didn't expect that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty would start to lose money in his own hands, and he didn't know how people in the future would think of him!
The direction of Zhang Chao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was opposite to that of the "two kings". He crossed the sea to the west, came to Renshou Palace, and reported the results of today's court meeting to Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing was very concerned about the gift of captives, so he had to report to the emperor in person as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait to write the memorial.

When Zhang Chao walked into the hall, the eunuch Qin, the admiral of the East Factory, was giving daily information to the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing, who was dressed in Taoist robes, waved his hand, signaling the eunuch Qin to pause first, and then asked Zhang Chao, "Has the prisoner presenting ceremony been fully formulated?"

Zhang Chao said: "The ministers and others have studied the laws of the ancestors, inquired about the actual operations of the past dynasties, and combined with the current grand occasion, they have been drawn up."

Emperor Jiajing couldn't wait to ask again: "Where was I captured?"

Zhang Chao quickly replied: "On that day, the cabinet ministers first greeted His Majesty at Fengtian Gate, and then His Majesty went out of Fengtian Gate, and then went to the Wufeng Tower of Meridian Gate. The ministers and others lined up outside the Meridian Gate to congratulate."

Emperor Jiajing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes!"

Then Zhang Chaocai reported the agreed procedures of suing the temple, presenting captives, taking captives, and disposing of them to Emperor Jiajing one by one. By the way, he asked the emperor to order the general Jinyiwei Dahan and the music and dance students of Taichang Temple to prepare in advance.

Emperor Jiajing agreed, and it was rare that he didn't deliberately criticize him.

Then Zhang Chao played again: "As for the hero Qin Dewei, the ministers of the Cabinet discussed and planned to be named Fengzhou Bo. In addition, the parents, three generations, and the descendants of Enyin should be granted according to the usual practice."

The Qin eunuch who was standing aside was listening cheerfully. Emperor Jiajing was happy, and there was nothing wrong with him following along to make fun of it. He would not be suspected of anything.

But when he heard the words "pull seal parents", his face suddenly twitched slightly.

According to the Ming system, after a courtier has served as an official for three years and passed the examination, he can grant favors to his parents.

Leaving aside the special cases of meritorious service, the basic principle is that when the son is an official of any level, the father will be granted the same level of official title, and the mother will be granted the same level of title at the same time.

The purpose is to promote the unity of loyalty and filial piety, so that parents can enjoy the glory with officials, the so-called "showing relatives and making famous".

After hearing this push question, Emperor Jiajing subconsciously said, "Qin Dewei doesn't seem to have a father?"

Eunuch Qin: "."

The "father" that Emperor Jiajing said at this time naturally referred to his biological father, not his stepfather and stepfather. Emperor Jiajing was never ambiguous about the concept of "who is the father".

Since the Jiajing Dynasty, a new practice has been formed. In principle, pushing away parents is pushing away native parents.

It is said that it is to prevent the birth of an official's concubine, because the mother is not a regular wife, and there is no gift, which makes it difficult for officials to fulfill their filial piety.

Immediately, Emperor Jiajing said: "You can posthumously present Qin Dewei's biological father, Zheng Yipin, the Zuo Dudu of the former military governor's mansion!"

The meaning of posthumous gift is to treat it as a dead person.

The eunuch Qin, who was regarded as a living dead, was suddenly a little impulsive, and said: "It seems to be a bit over the line."

Although he didn't understand why the eunuch Qin spoke suddenly, Zhang Chao also said: "Qin Dewei's biological father has been missing for twenty years, and now his life and death are unknown, and he may not have passed away."

According to the etiquette, it is two different things to prosecute a living person and posthumously give a gift to a dead person. If you follow the standard of posthumously posthumously, and build a grave and erect a monument, it will be completely ridiculous if that person reappears alive in the future.

Emperor Jiajing was a little surprised, and didn't quite understand why Zhang Chao was so serious: "How can I push the seal if I can't find Qin Dewei's biological father?"

Zhang Chao bit the bullet and said: "Qin Dewei was brought up by his uncle since he was a child, and now he is also a branch of his uncle. It is okay to transfer the title to his uncle."

Zhang Shangshu was beating drums in his heart while talking.

Because everyone knows that Emperor Jiajing was a little sensitive about the matter of "accepting an uncle as a father", and "uncle is not a father" was the greatest political correctness of the Jiajing Dynasty.

But Qin Dewei begged again and again to help his uncle, Zhang Shangshu had no choice but to petition Emperor Jiajing.

"Zhang Shangshu, you are bold!" Eunuch Qin interrupted suddenly again, and softly shouted at Zhang Chao, looking a little angry.

Zhang Chao ignored the eunuch Qin, and Emperor Jiajing hadn't spoken yet, why are you eunuch Qin so anxious to show your loyalty?It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Is this what Qin Dewei meant?"

Zhang Chaozuo replied: "Your Majesty's sage is like a candle! In fact, Uncle Qin Dewei lives in Nanjing, and pushing his uncle to proclaim his majesty's power in the south will also help."

Eunuch Qin closed his eyes sadly and said nothing, knowing that today might be very sad, but he didn't expect to be so sad.

If I knew my son had this ability, I would have just waited for riches. Why did I have to cruelly mutilate myself to enter the palace twenty years ago?

Is it all worth it?
In the end, Emperor Jiajing thought twice and made a decision: "Qin Dewei was granted Fengzhou uncle, bestowed a world certificate, and the rest remains the same.

Uncle Qin Dewei was appointed as the governor of the former Nanjing military governor's mansion, his biological mother was Yipin's wife, Enyin's son was the commander of Jinyiwei, and the rest were Jinyiwei Qianhu. "

Uncle is not a biological father, Tui Feng immediately downgraded from the first rank to the second rank.

However, considering how stingy and stingy Emperor Jiajing was, such a reward to the Qin family was considered generous. In order to raise the rank, he was specially appointed according to the official position of military minister.

Emperor Jiajing then casually said to the eunuch Qin: "Go and issue an edict to Qin Dewei's biological mother! In Nanjing, order the eunuch on guard in Nanjing to do it!"

Eunuch Qin: "."

I know that today is already so sad, but I still didn't expect it to be even more sad!

According to the law of etiquette, the rewards and favors for Qin Dewei himself and his wife will be issued after the return of Qin Dewei's class teacher and the ceremony of presenting the prisoners.

However, the rejection of Qin Dewei's uncle and biological mother can be done in advance, which is also a manifestation of filial piety.

The status of the person delivering the decree can often explain the importance the emperor attaches to it.

Emperor Jiajing asked the second eunuch system eunuch Qin eunuch to issue an edict to Qin Dewei's biological mother, in order to give face to the greatest hero of the dynasty.

After all, Qin Dewei's great victory in the fortress was too relieved, and Emperor Jiajing didn't mind giving a little more honor to show the great power of tomorrow to the people of the world.

I don't know why the Qin eunuch was stunned, and Emperor Jiajing looked at the Qin eunuch suspiciously, "Why don't you accept the order?"

The eunuch Qin came back to his senses, and said: "Your Majesty! The rewards for Qin Dewei and the Qin family are really too much. He is only 22 years old, so we should save some discretion for the future. This time, there is no need to reward generously."

Emperor Jiajing frowned and said, "Just let me go, where is there so much nonsense?"

He always felt that eunuch Qin was a little abnormal today, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was probably because eunuch Qin didn't like Qin Dewei, so he felt very uncomfortable.

However, there are many people in the court who dislike Qin Dewei, and there is no less eunuch Qin, everything is under control.

It will take a few days for the official edict to be promulgated, because it will take time from the making of the edict to the preparation of the court dress for the wife.

But the news that the Qin family had received a large reward had already been sent back to the Qin Mansion (Zeng Mansion), and immediately the three gates made a commotion.

After Xu Miaoxuan, the housewife, consulted her mother-in-law Zhou, the servants of the Qin family came out everywhere and almost bought out all the colored lanterns in the western city.

Then it was hung in Wugong Hutong, from the entrance of the Hutong to the inner house, all decorated with lights and festoons, full of joy.

The Gu family in the East Mansion is used to being a businessman. Although they feel that showing off is too high-profile, but considering that among the two sons, the eldest son who stayed in Nanjing won the command of Jinyiwei, and the second son next to him won the Jinyiwei Qianhu, so he didn't say anything.

This time, everyone in the Qin family will be rewarded, and even Wang Meiren's son, who was only a hundred days old, will be a future fifth-rank Jinyiwei Qianhu.

This means that one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and one person stands out, and the whole family shines.It is also the norm in this era that the seal that should be sealed, the gift that should be given, and the shadow that should be given, the whole family will benefit from each other.

Because Qin Dewei and Zeng's stepfather were both out of town, and the master of Qin's family had no adult males in town, Xu Miaojing took a few days off to help arrange and receive them.

This day Xu Miaojing finished seeing off the guests, and before leaving, she encouraged Xu Miaoxuan, "Eldest sister, you are short of having a son to inherit the earl, work hard!"

Xu Miaoxuan felt that the little brother was not encouraging, but blocking his heart.

The Anda army broke through the side wall and invaded the hinterland of Shanxi in June, and then Qin Dewei was ordered to rush to Datong when he was in danger.It's already July now to deal with the aftermath after the great victory.

Ten days later, the joy of the Qin Mansion in the capital city spread to Nanjing.

This year is the year of the rural examination, and August is the time for the Nanzhili rural examination, so this is the time when the city of Nanjing has the most scholars.

Qin Dewei's long-time friend Gao Changjiang will definitely take the provincial examination again this year, but he has reduced his socializing among scholars in the past two years, and instead runs diligently to the Qin Mansion in Wuding Bridge, spending time with Qin Dewei's uncle Qin Xiang.

Anyway, there is no Qin Dewei's woman in the Qin Mansion anymore, and Gao Changjiang would not invite people to gossip if he ran more diligently.

But Gao Changjiang is not without competitors, and there is another person who runs as hard as him, that is Gao Changjiang's former younger brother and the current son-in-law of the second room of the Qin family, Jiao Wenjie.

The two often meet each other in the Qin Mansion, and they feel very subtle about each other, and today they ran into each other at the gate of the Qin Mansion by coincidence.

Both of them were regular customers, so they were led directly to the garden.

At this time, the weather was getting cooler and gradually suitable for outdoor activities. Qin Xiang watched his six-year-old eldest grandson Qin Guozuo playing in the garden.

In order to learn from Zhan Ruoshui as a teacher, Li Chunfang, who was on a study tour in Nanjing for the past two years and was called by Qin Dewei to be the first teacher for his eldest son, happened to be there too.

Qin Xiang looked at the eldest grandson, and chatted with Li Chunfang: "Mr. Li, how is Da Lang's talent for reading?"

Li Chunfang replied very appropriately: "The son of the number one scholar, how could he be inferior?"

Qin Xiang sighed again: "All the blessings I have accumulated in my life have been given to my nephew. I am afraid that I will have no sons, so I will count on Dalang to honor my ancestors."

Looking up and seeing Gao Changjiang and Jiao Wenjie coming hand in hand, Li Chunfang pointed at them and said with a smile: "Who said the old proprietor has no sons? Although the old proprietor appears childless, he has two sons who are more like sons!"

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Li can talk! It smells like licorice!"

Then Qin Xiang asked again: "I will try next year, Mr. Li, are you not going to the capital?"

Li Chunfang shook her head and said: "If you win the Jinshi, you will lose your freedom immediately. If you fail the ranking, you will feel depressed. So I just don't take the exam and travel for a few more years."

Qin Xiang said with sincere admiration: "Among scholars, there are very few scholars who are as open-minded and indifferent as you are!"

Suddenly, Menzi ran over frantically and reported to Qin Xiang: "Second Old Master! The Nanjing Inner Garrison sent someone to send the news!"

Everyone was puzzled and didn't know what the guard eunuch had to say.

The doorman took a breath, and continued: "It is said that the master went out to fight against the barbarians in Datong and made great achievements in the world, the emperor wants to confer the title of master!

Then he said that you, the second old man, were also honored, and you were appointed as the second-rank governor, and Dalang Enyin was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and you will officially come to the door to announce your order in a few days!

So the Inner Garrison Mansion sent a message to let our family prepare for the angel in advance! "

After hearing the news, the hosts and guests in the Qin residence were all stunned, even more shocked than when they heard Qin Dewei won the first prize five years ago.

They had indeed heard the news of Qin Dewei leaving the town to announce the university, but they didn't take it seriously, they just regarded it as a normal official transfer, but they didn't expect such an earth-shattering result.

No matter how unbelievable it is, the number one scholar in the middle school is still in the category of scholars.

Gao Changjiang thought about Qin Dewei's "glorious history" in studies and imperial examinations, and said a little suspiciously: "Brother Qin, did you take credit for it? It's like being the number one in the county monthly examination for a year in a row?"

Qin Xiang patted Gao Changjiang and warned, "Speak carefully! It's enough for your own people to understand, don't go out and say that!"

Li Chunfang quickly said: "Yes, you can say whatever you want behind closed doors, but don't say it when you go out!"

Jiao Wenjie: "."

The imperial court is not a fool, do you people close to you just don't believe that the respected and beloved Qin scholar, brother Qin, can be a general and a prime minister?
In any case, having a reward is a good thing.All the people congratulated Qin Xiang together, since then he also has an official status, and he is still a second-rank official.

Qin Xiang turned his gaze to Qin Guozuo again, and said with a bit of distress: "Is it better for Dalang to be a Jinshi in the future, or wait until he is 16 years old and becomes the commander of Jinyiwei?"

 Continue to ask for the last monthly pass!In addition, the plot concept of the next stage has not yet been perfected, so I dare not start it lightly, let me wait for another two days.
