Chapter 480 Stop it!
In May, when the south is gradually getting hotter, the north is still so cool.

Logically speaking, after Qin Dewei met his father in Guangning City, Liaodong, even if he had completed the task of visiting relatives, he could consider the return journey.

However, Qin Dewei was overly enthusiastic about the reform pilot work in Liaodong, thinking of "supporting the horse and seeing him off", and guiding the work of Master Zeng, the inspector censor.

So I stayed in Guangning City for a few more days, frantically testing on the verge of being beaten.

At the same time, Qin Dewei also practiced riding and archery with Miss Li.

Although he is known as a scholar, he is a young man after all, and he still has a strong interest in various sports.

Think about it, after 500 years, equestrianism is a noble sport, but now, there are thousands of military horses inside and outside the city of Quang Ninh.

In late May, Qin Dewei felt that stepfather Zeng's patience might be approaching the limit, and he might be beaten if he continued to "guidance", so he offered to leave and return to the capital.

Before leaving, Qin Dewei asked about the marriage.

The stepfather Zeng said: "The elder sister of the Xu family is a good wife and mother, so getting married is naturally very good. But in November, I will return to the capital for inspection after my tenure ends.

You go back and ask the eldest sister of the Xu family, if she is willing to wait for half a year, then wait until I return to the capital to get married.If she wants to get married earlier, don't worry about me.

She has been of great help to you over the years, everything is up to her voluntary, you must not let her down. "

Taking advantage of the scorching heat, Qin Dewei secretly set off from Guangning City one morning, avoiding Miss Li.

Qin Dewei also has a headache about the future of this relationship.

It would be even more troublesome if Li Chengliang's father had earned enough credit half a year later and followed Zeng's stepfather to the capital to go through the formalities of attacking officials, and Li Xiaoniang really followed him.

But that will be half a year later, so don't think about it for now.

At the beginning of June, Qin Dewei returned to the capital.

I asked Xu Miaoxuan's opinion first, she was willing to make the marriage perfect, and the man's parents were present, so he waited for his stepfather to come back before holding the wedding.

I have been waiting for four years, and it is not bad to wait another half a year.

However, Qin Dewei returned to the capital this time. Although it was only two months later, the court felt a little bit different.

Before leaving, the first assistant was Zhang Fujing, and the second assistant was Fang Xianfu; when I came back, they were all gone!
Before leaving, Wang Hung was the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Governor of the Beijing Camp; when he came back, he was gone!
Now there are two people in the cabinet, and Li Shi, who was originally ranked third and a low-key good man, is the chief assistant;
It doesn't matter if Zhai Luan, who is older but less popular, continues to be a bachelor, or is called a second assistant, anyway, there are only two people in the cabinet.

Regarding the number of cabinet members, there is actually no fixed rule.One person can withstand it, and five people are not too many.

Under normal circumstances, three people are better, which is a relatively common and standardized number of people.

But two people are enough, and Emperor Jiajing seems to have no idea of ​​increasing the number for the time being.

So no matter how itchy Master Xia was, he could only itch first.Don't guess what the emperor is thinking, just wait!
In addition, after Wang Hung became an official, the positions in his hands were divided into two. Zhang Zan, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Xuanda, returned to Beijing and became the Minister of the Ministry of War in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

As for the governor's errands in Beijing, Wang Tingxiang was handed over to Wang Tingxiang, so Wang Tingxiang's full title seemed strange.

It is: Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment (sitting in the hall), concurrently Shangshu of the Ministry of War (empty title), and admiral of the [-]th Regiment of the Capital.

But Wang Tingxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was to match the false title of the admiral of the [-]th Regiment, and he did not care about the affairs of the Ministry of War.

He is still in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, but the Beijing Camp has been newly added.

The official system of the Ming Dynasty is like this. There may be many ministers and ministers in a ministry, but most of them are empty titles. The specific job depends on the dispatch.

For a career-oriented official like Mr. Wang Tingxiang, the emperor entrusted the important task of governor-general of the Beijing camp to himself, of course he was very high-spirited.

After Qin Dewei returned to Beijing, he visited the old seniors one by one according to the distance of his relationship, and presented him with souvenirs from Liaodong.

The first one is Teacher Zhang Xueshi, and the second one is Wang Tingxiang.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to have so much trust in this old man. Not only has he been given a heavy responsibility in the Beijing camp, but he has not been dismissed from his post in the Ministry of Punishment. With such a rare encounter, it would be difficult to repay the king's kindness even if his body is broken." Wang Tingxiang said a little bit shyly.

In fact, in the officialdom, it is often a special honor to look at a strange official position, and it is indeed worth boasting that one person holds two ministers at the same time.

Qin Dewei curled his lips while holding the teacup, with a look of disapproval.

Wang Tingxiang asked, "What expression do you have?"

Qin Dewei replied: "My lord, why didn't you become the Minister of the Ministry of War who is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry? What's the point of only the Governor of the Beijing Camp?"

Wang Tingxiang felt that he was underestimated, and said angrily: "The governor of Beijing is also a very important position!"

Qin Dewei added: "What I mean is that Zhang Zan, the Minister of the Ministry of War who is newly in charge of the Ministry of Affairs, is a piece of rubbish. I feel aggrieved for you, my lord."

As far as the ministers Qin Dewei has come into contact with so far, no matter whether they are enemies or friends, most of them still have a little bit of face, but this Zhang Zan belongs to the kind that is completely shameless.

Shameless as a civil servant and governor to curry favor with Marquis Wuding Guo Xun
In history, this Zhang Zan served as Minister of the Ministry of War for seven years, greedy for money and accepting bribes. It was from this person that the affairs of the Jiajing Dynasty began to deteriorate.

Wang Tingxiang heard that Qin Dewei was talking rubbish again, and he didn't want to say more about Zhang Zan, so he changed his words: "After you came back, have you started the job report and inspection?"

Qin Dewei was confused: "Investigate? Who will investigate me?"

Wang Tingxiang laughed angrily: "You have become an imperial envoy, and you will return to Beijing after completing your errand. Of course, you will be inspected according to the system!"

But after he finished laughing, he found that the inspection of Qin Dewei's errand was really confusing in terms of the system.

For example, an ordinary imperial envoy usually has the official title of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.After finishing the errands, of course, he returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to hand over the defense, and reported on his work and accepted the inspection of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

However, because of the emergency situation, Qin Dewei temporarily served as an imperial envoy directly, so who will be in charge of the investigation after the end?

In the Qinggui Imperial Academy, is there such a business of inspecting the work of officials to quell chaos?As for the other yamen, who is qualified to inspect Hanyuan Cichen?

After a little thought, Wang Tingxiang came up with an answer: "It seems that there is only the cabinet."

This is not because of the high status of the cabinet, but because the cabinet and the Imperial Academy are theoretically a system, and the origin of the cabinet is branched from the Imperial Academy, and it is not an outsider in terms of system.

Therefore, the imperial envoy of literature and art like Qin Dewei can only be inspected by the cabinet.It doesn't fit anywhere else, it's too bad a rule.

Thinking of this, Wang Tingxiang suddenly gloated: "It seems that you are going to fall into the old hands of Zhai Ge!"

Now there are only two people in the cabinet, Chief Assistant Li Shi and Grand Scholar Zhai Luan.As far as investigating Qin Dewei's trivial matter, if he can't really eat enough to let the chief assistant come forward, then it can only be Zhai Luan.

As for the grievances between Mr. Zhai Ge and Qin Dewei, it can be summed up in one sentence. Two years ago, Mr. Zhai Ge wooed the Eight Talents of Jiajing to expand his power, but Qin Dewei disturbed it.

Seeing Wang Tingxiang's appearance, Qin Dewei said disdainfully: "What's so scary? It's not certain how long Ge Zhai has been in the cabinet."

Wang Tingxiang suddenly turned pale with shock: "Shut up!"

Qin Dewei understood very well, nodded and said: "Yes, misfortune comes from the mouth, I won't say it!"

Wang Tingxiang felt that what he said was wrong, so he shouted again: "It's not that you shut up, it's that you stop! Two great scholars have just left, so don't bother!"
