Chapter 644 Don't dare to ask, don't dare to say
It wasn't that the emperor deliberately suppressed Qin Dewei, nor was it anyone who wanted to lose Qin Dewei's credit, the main reason was that the reward was too difficult.

Qin Dewei is only 20 years old now, and he is already the third in command of the Hanlin Academy and the third in command of Zhan Shifu.

In order to continue to place Qin Dewei in the five-rank framework, the imperial court even dug out the special official position of Zuochunfang University Scholar from the pile of old papers and gave it to Qin Dewei, how can he be promoted?
If he is promoted again, he should be a servant, which will cause great damage to the entire framework of the court system.

If the reward was just a gimmick, it would be meaningless compared to Qin Dewei's achievements.

Two words, difficult to deal with!Put it on hold for now!
Then Emperor Jiajing decreed that Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was in charge of extinguishing the fire and investigating the fire scene. As for those who participated in the rescue of the driving school before tonight, they were all given wine and food and allowed each to rest.

Then he told everyone to stay for one more day tomorrow and come back to the court in the afternoon to continue discussing related matters.

Emperor Jiajing meant to take a break, otherwise he would not be able to hurry in this state.

Tao Zhongwen didn't live nearby that night, so he rushed over at this time, still calm and calm, as if everything was in the sky.

The ministers were discussing how to accommodate the emperor. There were several alternatives, which were controversial for a while.

Tao Zhongwen said to Emperor Jiajing: "There is Baiyun Pavilion in the north of the city, also known as Lu Zu Pavilion. It is a scenic spot. It is said that it is the place where Lu Zu ascended to immortality. Your Majesty may as well go there."

When Emperor Jiajing, who was superstitious about cultivating immortals, heard the news, he left with Tao Zhongwen, and the rest of the eunuchs and maids followed.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. It seemed that after tonight's fire, Emperor Jiajing's trust in Tao Laodao was greatly increased.

There are also veterans who have a lot of life experience who are a little worried. Some people will become more superstitious after experiencing disasters, and the same is true if the emperor can't handle it.

In the original history, this fire prediction was one of the most important key points in Tao Zhongwen's life, comparable to "two dragons never meet".

As for why Tao Laodao in the original history was able to calculate it, Qin Dewei didn't know, he just copied his homework and exported it to domestic sales.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Qin Dewei, who "got nothing", had no choice but to sigh, "Who is doing all the hard work?"

When he returned to his dormitory, he saw Xu Miaojing recuperating paralyzed on the bed.The lodging place next to the palace was burned down, so Xu Miaojing came here.

At this moment, Qin Dewei has a doubt that has been lingering in his heart for half the night. After slapping Xu Xiaodi awake, he asked, "How did you pass Lu Bing and carry the emperor out?"

In history, it was Lu Bing who recited the emperor.And between Xu Xiaodi and Lu Bing, the emperor must also trust the milk brother Lu Bing more, can this be a butterfly effect?

Xu Miaojing rubbed her eyes, and replied unnaturally: "Lu Bing, he accidentally fell on the stone steps, and the fall was quite heavy. It was an emergency at that time, and I didn't care about Lu Bing, so I went first Save me."

"Did you really fall?" Qin Dewei was in a very complicated mood, and looked at Xiaodi Xu sharply.

Embarrassed, Xu Miaojing looked at her brother-in-law, lowered her head, and whispered, "I tripped."

Qin Dewei was really surprised, and sighed again and again: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you, Xu Miaojing, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also learned to fight for credit by any means."

Xu Miaojing couldn't help but ask back: "Did I do something wrong?"

Looking at the increasingly mature little brother Xu, Qin Dewei couldn't help feeling extremely emotional: "Actually, I am very relieved to see that you still have a kind heart."

Xu Miaojing was stunned, could this kind of behavior be called kindness?Brother-in-law, do you have any misunderstanding about this term?
Qin Dewei laughed lightly and said: "If it was a cruel and inhuman villain, he would have made up for Lu Bing who fell to the ground on the spot! Anyway, it is not surprising that someone died in the sea of ​​fire, how could Lu Bing come out alive?"

Xu Miaojing: "."

For some unknown reason, layers of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xu Xiaodi's back.

Qin Dewei continued to comment: "I'm very relieved that you didn't do that. It shows that you still have a bottom line and are still a good boy. Otherwise, I'm afraid even I will have to be careful of you in the future!"

Xu Miaojing didn't know what to say, so in the eyes of her brother-in-law, she did the right thing, or is she a good person?
Qin Dewei turned to criticize and said: "However, you still have something wrong, you shouldn't be indifferent to Lu Bing."

Xu Miaojing was very puzzled, "What's wrong? What do you mean being indifferent to Lu Bing? Brother-in-law, do you still want me to make up for Lu Bing?"

Qin Dewei ordered: "Tomorrow when you meet His Majesty to thank His Majesty, mention a few more words about Lu Bing, and take the initiative to ask for credit for Lu Bing!

In any case, Lu Bing also rushed into the sea of ​​fire with you. There is no credit but hard work. How can it be ignored?As the only witness, you have to speak for Lu Bing! "

Xu Miaojing was speechless, why do you feel that you are the worst brother-in-law?
"Study carefully! This is to teach you how to behave!" Qin Dewei yawned and fell asleep.

When the sun was high, Qin Dewei woke up from hunger, and Xu Miaojing didn't know where he had gone.

After getting up, Qin Dewei saw Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sitting outside the house, and he didn't know why he came here.

Before saying hello, Wang Tingxiang waved again, and several attendants came forward with food boxes.

Qin Dewei was very surprised and said: "Senior Wang suddenly shows his courtesy for nothing, what's the plan?"

Wang Tingxiang ignored Qin Dewei's ridicule regardless of his superiority or inferiority, and said straight to the point: "I was ordered to investigate the fire scene, and I don't know how to draw conclusions, so I come to ask you for advice."

Qin Dewei sat down, ate and said, "Let it be what it is, what is found in the investigation, it is what it is."

Knowing Qin Dewei so well, there is no need to hide his thoughts at all, Wang Tingxiang said very honestly: "The key is that this is to be reported to the emperor."

The implication is obvious, I just want to ask for advice, how can I fool the emperor and minimize the follow-up toss.

Mainly in the aspect of fooling the emperor, Wang Tingxiang dared to believe that Qin Dewei was the most professional, so he had to humbly ask for advice.

Qin Dewei then asked: "Let's talk about the survey results first."

Wang Tingxiang replied: "First of all, after investigation and visits, no one came in or out after the palace was closed last night, so it must not be an outsider who set the fire.

Secondly, after comparison of the remnants and testimonials by people, it can be confirmed that the place where the fire started first was in the residence of the court lady.”

Qin Dewei interrupted Wang Tingxiang's statement by raising his hand, and asked, "Whose maid is serving there? Is it serving the empress or the emperor?"

Wang Tingxiang recalled it for a while and replied: "It should be a court lady serving the emperor."

Qin Dewei's expression became very strange, and he shook his head subconsciously.

Wang Tingxiang asked in surprise, "What is your expression?"

Qin Dewei has a bold guess that may be very close to the historical truth, but he doesn't want to say it, and he dare not say it.

Maybe it was the court ladies serving Emperor Jiajing who set the fire on purpose?

If you want to find out why, you have to ask Emperor Jiajing why he has a habit of abusing court ladies, Qin Dewei dare not ask anyway.

On the issue of court ladies, Emperor Jiajing has been the only one since ancient times, and they are yellow and violent anyway.

In the more famous "Renyin Palace Change" three years later in history, a large group of court ladies were so ill-treated that they all tried to strangle Emperor Jiajing to death. What is it to set fire to?
Qin Dewei's demeanor of "seeing through everything but not telling it" made Wang Tingxiang scratch his heart like claws.

Qin Dewei took the initiative to stop Wang Tingxiang's inquiry: "Don't ask! Some things are not suitable for a pure person like the old man to know."

Wang Tingxiang: "."

He, an old bureaucrat who is over sixty years old and has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, is actually called "pure" by a [-] years old young man?
So, how violent is Qin Dewei's inner world?

After deliberating for a while, Qin Dewei instructed: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, and the wind is strong, so it is very easy to catch fire.

Among the folks, there are often incidents of fires caused by accidental handling of candles, which often burn down a neighborhood.

So I guess, probably the palace maid threw away unextinguished candles indiscriminately, which caused the palace to catch fire.Besides, there is no other reason, and there was no thunder last night. "

Wang Tingxiang asked: "Is this the way to report? No problem?"

I felt that Qin Dewei's advice was too simple, so simple that it was almost an understatement, which made Wang Tingxiang a little worried.

Although the purpose is to fool the emperor, it can't seem too foolish.

Qin Dewei said with certainty: "It should be fine, maybe His Majesty just wants to downplay it!"

Anyway, in the original history, the official data recorded it like this, and the conclusion was that the maid accidentally threw candles and caused the fire.

Moreover, this conclusion must have been approved by Emperor Jiajing before it can be included in the official records.

Based on this, the Emperor Jiajing must be satisfied with this conclusion.In other words, as long as the court lady was mentioned, Emperor Jiajing probably wanted to downplay the cause of the fire.

If it was really because of abusing the court lady that the court lady set fire, Emperor Jiajing would definitely not be willing to make a public conclusion as "the court lady intentionally set fire".

Otherwise, others would have the mentality of eating melons, randomly guessing about the matter between the emperor and the court ladies, and if there were desperate eunuchs spreading gossip to the outside world, Emperor Jiajing would lose face again.

Qin Dewei went to Baiyun Pavilion in the north of the city with Wang Tingxiang after lunch.At this time, many ministers have gathered here, waiting for the court meeting.

Around the time of Shen, a eunuch came out to pass a message to the courtiers to see him.

Emperor Jiajing was on the temporary golden platform throne, and Xu Miaojing, the official guard in brocade clothes, had already started to stand under the throne, becoming one of the people closest to the emperor.

After the officials danced and worshiped, Emperor Jiajing took the initiative to ask Wang Tingxiang for the result.

Wang Tingxiang then reported the investigation situation of "the fire started in the residence of the palace lady", and according to Qin Dewei's intention, he said that it might be that the palace lady accidentally threw candles and caught fire.

If it wasn't for his superstitious belief in Qin Dewei, Wang Tingxiang would never have dared to report so casually.

After the Emperor Jiajing was silent for a moment, he said lightly: "This is probably the case, so let's take this as a conclusion, and there is no need to go into it."

Others didn't care about it, they just regarded it as an ordinary report, an ordinary accidental fire, and at most they were surprised that the emperor was so magnanimous once in a while.

Only Wang Tingxiang was secretly shocked that Qin Dewei's grasp of the emperor's psychology was so accurate!
What was even more frightening was that he had no idea what the emperor was thinking, and what Qin Dewei was thinking.

For a while, I felt that my officialdom for more than [-] years had been for nothing.

Then continue to discuss matters after the fire, such as burning a large number of ritual objects and treasures, and order to distribute them to the government along the way to try their best to repurchase them.

Another example is to discuss whether to reward the official school that put out the fire last night, during which Xu Miaojing took the initiative to perform for Lu Bing.

"Lu Bing and I entered the sea of ​​fire together, and we both have the heart to die. Although the final success lies with the minister, Lu Bing's character is still commendable. I implore your majesty to treat your relatives kindly!"

Emperor Jiajing pushed the boat along the way, and promoted his milk brother Lu Bing to be a commander, but Lu Bing's face was not very good-looking.

Qin Dewei, who stood at the end of the group of prime ministers and ministers, stretched his neck and almost raised his hand to signal, but he still didn't get what he wanted.

"Departure tomorrow!" After the Emperor Jiajing instructed his ministers, he withdrew from the court.

Continue to go south from Weihui Mansion, and soon arrive at the Yellow River. At this time, the Yellow River has no bridges, and the brigade began to cross the river one by one.

Emperor Jiajing stood on the imperial boat, staring at the surface of the Yellow River, not knowing what to think.

The famous poet Qin Xueshi, who was also accompanying Yuzhou, squeezed over and presented a poem on behalf of him.

What is "more than a thousand miles away from Shenjing, the road passes through the river and drives six fish", and what "in the past, Jiang obeyed the first edict, and today the yellow robe caresses four people" are all tailor-made for Emperor Jiajing.

After crossing the river, it is still the farmland of the Great Plains, with endless spring wheat fields in sight.

Emperor Jiajing casually said a few words about farming on the imperial chariot, and the famous poet Qin Xueshi squeezed over again and presented a poem on behalf of him.

What "covers the growth of horses and seedlings by the side of the road, blows the ears of wheat by the side of the road", and "stacks the clouds against the wind and piles up the green mist towards the sun", absolutely fits the scene and embodies the emperor's sentiment.

There were also spring plowing elders kneeling along the road to greet them, and Emperor Jiajing got out of the car to persuade the farmers symbolically, and waved his hands.

The famous poet Qin Xueshi squeezed over again and presented a poem on behalf of him, which said, "I wish to fill my people's stomachs if I come true, and I must receive the spiritual anointing from the emperor."

Staying in the palace at night, while chatting with ministers, Emperor Jiajing suddenly felt sad because of the death of his parents.

The famous poet Qin Xueshi squeezed over again and presented a few surrogate poems, such as "Although the altar has the help of ministers and neighbors, the temples are more peaceful than the mother's heart", and "I have felt sad for several times during the long distance, and the way is sad for father and son. "True", can definitely express the meaning of missing relatives.

Emperor Jiajing: "."

Although I am a literary youth and very interested in literature and art, you, Qin Dewei, have contributed dozens of ghostwritten poems in two or three days. Isn't this a bit too much?
He has to write a poem when he gets in and out of the car when he eats, sleeps, and Zhu Houcong is not an emperor who is determined to publish tens of thousands of poems in his lifetime!
At this time, there was a memorial from the capital on the imperial case. The second in command of Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shi (Zheng Sipin), Cui Mi, who had just taken office, suddenly became seriously ill and asked to resign because of his advanced age.

All the ministers sighed in unison, how many days?Fate?
 Looking at the geographical distribution of readers in the background, I was surprised that the number one was actually Guangdong, accounting for 11.00%!Oops, this book blackmailed so many Cantonese, and so many Cantonese readers.The second and third are Jiangsu and Hunan, both of which are [-]%, and the fourth is Zhejiang with [-]%.Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not surprising, but Hunan is something I did not expect. I have never written about Hunan.It seems that the next book will be about Guangdong and Hunan.
