Chapter 747 Study and Practice
After Qin Dewei's self-defense memorial was sent to the palace, the court temporarily returned to calm, and the ministers all wanted to see Emperor Jiajing's reaction first.

The cabinet was unwilling to talk to Qin Dewei, and directly submitted the two self-defense books to the emperor, and everything was handed over to the holy judge.

Emperor Jiajing didn't start reading the memorials until midnight, in the dead of night. Recently, he started this rhythm of work and rest, and at this time, his companion Huang Jin was waiting beside him.

After reading Qin Dewei's first self-defense, Emperor Jiajing directly criticized: "The imperial court rewards meritorious service with a title, and it doesn't want to be left in vain. After the son-in-law grows up, he can turn it around."

According to the system, there are two prerequisites for a son to become a noble. The first is that Wu Xun himself must be at least 16 years old; the second is that the son must be an adult, that is, at least [-] years old.

Qin Dewei did not meet the two conditions. Emperor Jiajing could not fully take care of and pamper him, nor could he not take care of him at all.

Therefore, a rule has been established for the son of the eldest son to come of age, and only the latter of the two conditions must be met.

After reading the second self-defense memorandum, Emperor Jiajing sighed: "There are so few people available to the court."

This sentence has no beginning and no end, and it is difficult to understand when it is heard suddenly. It is not said that there are many talents in the court, but it will not be to the point where no one can use it.

But after a few turns in the mind of the silent eunuch Huang, he finally understood what the emperor meant.

In the past few years, the emperor's daily life has been relatively normal, and he has a wide range of contacts. He can often select ministers who are more pleasing to the eye, and when it is time to employ people, he can directly fill the position.

But in the past two years, the emperor devoted himself to cultivating immortals. Although the reading of the memorials did not fail, there were very few ministers who had direct contact with them. Xia Yan, Yan Song, Qin Dewei and others came back and forth.

Therefore, when it is necessary to add a bachelor's degree today, the emperor found that there were no alternate favorites available, so he felt that there were too few "available people".

In the original history, the first assistant of the Jiajing Dynasty was changed very frequently in the early period, but in the middle and late period, Yan Song worked as the first assistant for nearly 20 years alone. There may be a reason for "too narrow choices".

While Huang Jin was thinking about it secretly, Emperor Jiajing suddenly raised his head and said to Huang Jin: "Tomorrow, you go to the Imperial Academy and ask the courtiers to compose green poems, and bring them back before the palace gates are locked."

In the early morning of the next day, eunuch Huang went to the Imperial Academy by order, and immediately made the entire Imperial Academy jump up.

Since Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, he did not go to court, did not hold sutra feasts, and rarely saw ministers. For ordinary officials, it may not have that much influence, and he should do what he should do.

However, the Hanlin Academy was "deeply harmed". The nature of the Hanlin is a literary attendant. Compared with other officials, the biggest advantage is that it has more opportunities to contact the emperor.

If you can't get in touch with the emperor all year round, what prestige and promotion channels are there for Hanlin?

So Emperor Jiajing suddenly sent his trusted eunuchs to the Hanlin Academy to collect Qing Ci, which is similar to the effect of a single stone stirring up thousands of waves.

People who are a little smarter can also guess a little bit of the emperor's mind, but everyone has different attitudes towards this.

Thinking about the attitude of Gui Youguang, a disciple of the Qin family, towards writing Qing Ci, you can probably understand the mood of most Hanlin.

Eunuch Huang stayed in the Hanlin Academy until the afternoon, and then returned to the palace with dozens of copies of Qingci.

At the Yinghe Gate outside Renshou Palace, Eunuch Huang met Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei. One of them was the emperor's companion since childhood, and the other was the emperor's milk brother, so they were naturally close.

After saying hello, Huang Jin said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Lu went to Datong and gained a lot."

Among the people who came back from Datong this time, apart from Qin Dewei, Lu Bing gained the most.

Escorting a super-luxury lineup of criminals such as Wudinghou Guoxun, former Datong governor Shi Dao, and former Datong general Wang Sheng to go back to Beijing for trial, Lu Bing, a related family, can be regarded as "famous in the first battle" in Jinyiwei.

At least among the existing Jinyi guards, except for the old man who experienced the Zuoshunmen incident, no one has ever been so brave.

Although the courtiers were well aware of what was going on, in fact, it was Governor Qin who used the hands of Lu Bing to carry out a large-scale purge in order to avoid being suspected of being "specialized".

But on the surface, these criminals were brought back under escort by Lu Bing, and the credit must be recognized, and everyone else must give face to the emperor's milk brother.

Feeling that his prestige in Jinyiwei had increased sharply, Lu Bingzheng was proud of himself, and when he heard Eunuch Huang's words, he also responded with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of gains, but the real gains are not in the few prisoners, but in the heart."

In Datong, he saw with his own eyes how Qin Dewei struggled for power, how to eradicate dissidents, and how to form cliques for personal gain. He felt from the bottom of his heart that he had learned a lot.

Huang Jin was a little surprised when he heard the words. Judging from the words just now, Lu Bing may have really made progress, and his future is even more promising.

So Eunuch Huang had the idea of ​​further selling, and he took the initiative to ask, "What is your business in Xiyuan? Did you ever need my help?"

After thinking for a while, Lu Bing replied, "I'm here especially for Marquis Guo Xun of Wuding, and I want to ask His Majesty for orders."

Among the three prisoners who were "escorted" by Commander Lu, Governor Shi Dao and Chief Soldier Wang Sheng belonged to the most convincing evidence of crimes, and were the biggest principal culprits in the "Sunshine" injustice case.Therefore, there is no dispute about the guilt at all, and we just wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to complete the trial process, and the canonical punishment will be announced after the crime is judged.

But Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, is quite special. Strictly speaking, Guo Xun's criminal evidence is not sufficient.

Moreover, Guo Xun himself was ordered to go to Datong to arrest Qin Dewei, so he cannot be convicted just because he tried to attack Qin Dewei.

Besides, Guo Xun is in Datong, who can he rely on instead of the local governor and general soldier?There is also a lack of solid evidence to say that Guo Xun colluded with the governor and the general to commit crimes together.

What's more, Guo Xun's status is quite special. His family background is the founding marquis, and he was also a man of the past ten years.

Therefore, the Ministry of Punishment was very troublesome about Guo Xun's situation, and returned Guo Xun to Jinyiwei, asking Jinyiwei to "additional investigation".

The unspoken rule here is that if Guo Xun is guilty, you Jinyiwei will beat him into a trick; if Guo Xun is innocent, you Jinyiwei will just let him go!
Anyway, this kind of dirty work that is unclear, that may bend the law for personal gain or create unjust cases needs to be done by you Jinyiwei. This is the responsibility and meaning of existence of your Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.

As for who decides Guo Xun's guilt or innocence, of course it is the Supreme Ming Dynasty in the palace.

After hearing Lu Bing's intentions, Huang Jin couldn't help feeling some sympathy for Guo Xun.

How glorious Guo Xun was back then, he repeatedly interfered in the government affairs of the court as a military minister, which is unique in the past century, and he even successfully recommended candidates for the Ministry of War.

After meeting Qin Dewei, Guo Xun's good luck came to an abrupt end.

A few years ago, it was nothing more than being deprived of his real position and authority. This year, he finally regained the emperor's credit and was able to serve as a representative of the nobles in Wuyi Palace, but in a blink of an eye, he was mixed up to the level of being in prison again.

But Huang Jin didn't care much about Guo Xun's guilt or innocence. It had little to do with him. What made him sensitive was another situation.

"Master Lu, you came here directly to ask for an order because of Guo Xun's matter? Didn't you report it to Dongchang first?" Huang Jin put away his smile and asked with a serious expression.

Lu Bing replied: "Even if you report to Dongchang, you still have to ask for an order. Why don't I just ask for an order and then report to Dongchang, which is more convenient."

Huang Jin was speechless for a while, who should ask for the order is not a trivial matter, this is the core question, okay?

Having been in the palace for a long time, eunuch Huang certainly understood many routine procedures.For example, how does Guo Xun determine such a major matter? Jin Yiwei should report it to the East Factory first, and then the factory owner will ask the emperor for an order.

One is that it is more convenient for eunuchs to enter and leave the palace to ban the king, and the other is that the emperor is closer to the eunuchs on a daily basis, and often trusts the eunuchs more.This is also the reason why Dongchang has always been superior to Jinyiwei.

But this time Lu Bing bypassed Dongchang and directly asked the emperor for an order, which did not conform to the usual procedures.To put it seriously, it is to compete with Dongchang for power.

Eunuch Huang knew that Lu Bing must possess such "soft power", but it is hard to judge the consequences of Lu Bing doing this now.

He still reminded Lu Bing, "I'm afraid someone will be unhappy."

Lu Bing pretended to be relaxed and replied: "No matter how you do things, there will always be people who are unhappy."

Eunuch Huang didn't know what to say, but with Lu Bing's "soft power", it can be judged that such a day will come sooner or later.

But how can the Qin eunuch of Dongchang fight his way out of a thousand hidden mansions and become the No. [-] eunuch and Lord of Dongchang?
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Fu, the eunuch and admiral of the East Factory, came to Renshou Palace to give a daily report while the emperor was having breakfast.

At the end of the report, Emperor Jiajing casually asked the eunuch Qin: "Yesterday, Lu Bing asked for an order for Guo Xun, did you know?"

Eunuch Qin's heart was turbulent a few times, but he replied calmly: "I really don't know."

Then Emperor Jiajing said nothing, and the Qin eunuch resigned.

After returning to the East Factory, when the eunuch Qin was alone in the public house, the undisguised anger appeared on his face.

Recently, I have been in a bad mood enough to issue a patent to my "ex-wife", but Lu Bing is here to challenge his authority again!

After thinking for a while, Eunuch Qin ordered to his followers: "Let Xu Miaojing get down straight and come over here!"

In the afternoon, Xu Miaojing came to Dongchang to meet with eunuch Qin.

Eunuch Qin said, "There is something that I think you need to tell Qin Dewei!"

For this kind of work, Xu Miaojing is quite familiar with it, she just listens with her ears.

The eunuch Qin continued: "Lu Bing and Guo Xun have probably colluded together, and they probably want to help Guo Xun get rid of the crime!"

Although the eunuch Qin didn't have any evidence, who wouldn't know "no need to have it"?
Even if analyzed from a purely logical point of view, if Lu Bing didn't intend to help Guo Xun get rid of the crime so as to gain more benefits, would it be worth the risk of offending Dongchang?

If Guo Xun was punished for official business, and Lu Bing bypassed Dongchang to do his own thing, what practical benefits would he receive?
Xu Miaojing was a little surprised, he knew exactly what the relationship between Guo Xun and brother-in-law was, but he didn't make too much fuss.

For brother-in-law, this should only be a small problem, right?

As for why eunuch Qin reminded her brother-in-law of this matter, Xu Miaojing didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, her brother-in-law was worried about it, so why did she bother.

However, Xu Miaojing was still a little more cautious, on the way back from Dongchang to Xicheng, he deliberately passed the Jinyiwei Government Office.

When he came to the inner prison, he saw several military officers chatting at the entrance of the prison hall.

"Who's inside?" Xu Miaojing asked naturally.

Then someone replied: "Commander Lu is inside."

Xu Miaojing knew it by heart. Recently, no other prisoners were imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, only Guo Xun was imprisoned here.

So when Lu Bing went in, he didn't meet Guo Xun, what could it be?
Originally, Lu Bing might have performed his duties to interrogate Guo Xun, so Xu Miaojing would not think too much about it, but after being "reminded" by the eunuch Qin, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Lu Bing had colluded with Guo Xun.

The main reason is that Xu Miaojing dared not and could not question eunuch Qin, who could only believe what the eunuch Qin said.

After leaving the Jinyiwei Yamen Office, Xu Miaojing quickly came to Wugong Alley, met Qin Dewei in the study, and relayed what the eunuch Qin had said.

Qin Dewei asked: "Has Lu Bing been to Renshou Palace these two days?"

As the "imperial bodyguard" guarding the gate of the palace, Xu Miaojing had an impression of this, nodded and said: "I have indeed been there."

Qin Dewei laughed immediately: "No wonder the eunuch Qin is dissatisfied. Lu Bing is probably trying to bypass Dongchang and go on his own. If Dongchang can't even control Jinyiwei, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?"

Then he said to Xu Miaojing: "What do you think of Lu Bing and Guo Xun?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Miaojing replied: "Since I joined Jinyiwei as an errand, I can observe that although Lu Bing is a kind person on the surface, he is extremely ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others.

I guess this time it might be that Guo Xun was willing to surrender to Lu Bing in order to get rid of the crime.As far as Lu Bing is concerned, if he can accept Guo Xun as his wing, he can immediately strengthen his own power.

After all, Guo Xun was the former No. [-] military minister, and his influence is still there. Moreover, Guo Xun and Lu Bing are both in the martial arts camp, so it is naturally easy to cooperate.

Moreover, the assignments of the two are also very complementary, Guo Xun enters the Zhiwuyi Palace, Lu Bing is in the Jinyiwei Government Office, one inside and one outside, similar to the relationship between Mr. Zhang and your brother-in-law. "

Qin Dewei praised very gratifiedly: "Yes, there is progress! But isn't Lu Bing afraid of offending me? Everyone knows that Guo Xun and I are mortal enemies!"

Xu Miaojing replied again: "It may be that Lu Bing, with his special status, thinks he has the capital to take risks, no matter how much trouble he makes, nothing serious will happen.

Besides, brother-in-law, it is impossible for you to become Lu Bing's henchman, and it is impossible for Lu Bing to completely obey your will. "

Then Xu Miaojing reminded: "Lu Bing is actually okay, and he has no deep hatred with his brother-in-law. But if Guo Xun hits Lu Bing, brother-in-law should not be careless."

Qin Dewei said nonchalantly: "Guo Xun is just a chicken and tile dog full of flaws, I have other plans, so I kept him still.

To be honest, I can make him die without a place to bury him, so why should I be afraid? "

Guo Xun recommended to the emperor Duan Chaoyong, an alchemist who can make immortal weapons, and Duan Chaoyong, for personal purposes, has been fooling the emperor into retreating and avoiding contact with outsiders.

That's a coincidence, Qin Dewei also expected this, Emperor Jiajing had better not care about anything, and don't come out of retreat for the sake of longevity.

Although it is said that Emperor Jiajing did not adopt the suggestion of retreat in the end, people always have dreams. If the butterfly effect occurs, will Emperor Jiajing really retreat?

This is what Qin Dewei said, there is still some use in keeping Guo Xun.

　As we get older, our resistance decreases, and even blowing on the air conditioner can catch a cold. .It would be nice to be able to complete the update after being groggy for two days, so pay attention to it in summer.
