Chapter 644: It takes no effort to get it
Xu Wei's prediction was indeed not wrong, Zhang Cong was here to find Qin Li's relationship with him, and wanted to dredge up and down through Qin Li, so that Zhang Cong's official position could make further progress. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Zhang Cong is not young, he is a very simple person. In officialdom, this kind of running for official position and dredging up relations is generally carried out in secret. But Zhang Cong was so blatant, and he said it generously, from this point of view, this Zhang Cong is really an outlier.
Zhang Cong had already heard and understood that Qin Li was now a celebrity around Jiajing, as long as he had a good relationship with Qin Li and let Qin Li help him move around, he would definitely succeed. Of course, this time Zhang Cong said very clearly to Qin Li, saying that he would definitely do things in a down-to-earth manner for the sake of the Ming court and the people of the Ming Dynasty. As I get older, if I don't have a chance to improve, I'm afraid this life will really be over. Moreover, Zhang Cong also said his lowest thoughts, if the current official position cannot be promoted, he must also bother Qin Li to think of a way to get him out of the Ministry of Rites, he is now disgusting and uncomfortable as long as he sees Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he doesn't want to work with someone like Mao Cheng anymore.
Qin Li felt ridiculous about Zhang Cong's frank admittance and such a bold statement. But there was not the slightest expression on his face. He knows that people like Zhang Cong have not been in the officialdom for a long time, and the things he sees in officialdom may not be so thorough. This reflects Zhang Cong's frankness.
But Zhang Cong, who is so frank, actually touched a little bit of the doorway to promotion. But he's a bit too cute to run for office.
Perhaps it was because he valued Zhang Cong's frankness and cuteness, Qin Li squinted his eyes slightly, thought about it for a while, and then said, "Lord Zhang, this official will not hide it from you, this official can indeed say something in front of the emperor, but whether the specific emperor can listen to it, in other words, whether you have that kind of creation, it depends on your luck."
As soon as Qin Li said this, he immediately overwhelmed Zhang Cong's happiness, and sent Qin Li to kneel, in short, his gratitude to Qin Li was indescribable.
The matter has been settled, but Zhang Congming has no intention of leaving. For a shabby and honest person like Zhang Cong, Qin Li really likes it a little. However, to be friends with someone like Zhang Cong, Qin Li didn't have that idea. Because Zhang Cong is old after all, and many of Zhang Cong's ideas seem to be a little out of place in this era. He's an outlier.
Qin Li is a traversal, and naturally there are many differences between the thinking of people in this era. However, Qin Li is very clear about his situation, and he is also trying his best to adapt to this era. But Zhang Cong is different, to put it more clearly, this kind of person obviously has a tendonous posture, but he is just a little cute.
Qin Li and Zhang Cong chatted casually for a while, and Zhang Cong suddenly looked left and right, his eyes staring at Xu Wei. Xu Wei is such a smart person, he naturally retreated with interest. But Xu Wei was secretly laughing in his heart at this time, hehe! It seems that this Zhang Cong and the boss want to whisper. Hum! You don't want to think about it, it's just that there is something whispering, and Boss Qin doesn't want to tell me later!
In Xu Wei's psychology, Boss Qin did not carry Xu Wei on his back. This is also the reason why Xu Wei followed Qin Li with all his heart, and was dedicated to being Qin Li's staff and assisting Qin Li.
Only then did Zhang Cong put his mind at ease, stood up abruptly, bowed deeply to Qin Li, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Qin, there is one more thing for the lower officials to visit Lord Qin this time. Your Excellency, you know that the emperor and the ministers are in trouble now! In particular, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, actually proposed to let the emperor manage Hongzhi and call the emperor father, and the emperor's own father, Xingwang Zhu Youqi, became the emperor's uncle.
Xia Guan came this time to ask Lord Qin's opinion on this matter. ”
Qin Li's brows furrowed in an instant. Xindao, who said that this Zhang Cong was stunned, this guy is actually not wooden at all. This guy is just a small six-pin principal, and he cares so much about the affairs of the court, and he knows everything that happens in the court! It seems that this guy is a caring person!
What's up? Could it be that this guy's frank and cute performance just now was all pretended?
Obviously not, this old guy is obviously having a problem with Mao Cheng these days, so he cares about Mao Cheng's affairs.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. This Zhang Cong is obviously worried about Mao Cheng. Mao Cheng, you have to be careful. Although Zhang Cong is very inconspicuous, small people can sometimes do big things. Sometimes it can change fate.
Qin Li thought about it for a while, and saw that Zhang Cong's small eyes were staring at him tightly, waiting for him to say his opinion. Qin Li couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Lord Zhang, you also know that Qin Li is a Zhenguo general and a military attaché. When it comes to etiquette, Qin Li doesn't know anything about it.
The official feels that the emperor is also very reasonable, but no, Mao Cheng and others quote scriptures, it seems to be very reasonable! In this matter, the official really can't see through it! ”
Qin Li showed a sincere face. Zhang Cong, who is honest, naturally can't find anything different. Zhang Cong nodded lightly. He immediately opened his mouth, but suddenly closed it again, obviously wanting to speak and stopping.
"Huh! Master Zhang, this official has long heard that you are proficient in the three rites, familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, and you are a talented person. Lord Zhang, tell me to the official, who do you feel is right and who is wrong between them? Qin Li asked with a smile.
Obviously, Zhang Cong wanted to vomit as soon as possible, Qin Li asked like this, which seemed to fit his thoughts, and said, "Lord Qin, Xia Guan is just a small head of the Ministry of Rites, and he has never seen anything in the world. However, Lord Qin just said that Xia Guan is proficient in the three etiquettes, which is a bit too much. Xia Guan is obviously not proficient, but Xia Guan did read it a few times. So in the matter of the emperor changing his father, the lower officials also have some ideas.
Of course, these thoughts may not be right, and they may not be in line with Lord Qin's mind. Lord Qin has the right to talk nonsense at the time of the official.
Lord Qin, in the eyes of the lower officials, Mao Cheng and other old ministers of the Ministry of Rites are purely messing around. Since ancient times, people have been raised by their parents. Is there anything else to choose from? Can my father change it?
The emperor's father is King Xing, then he will always be King Xing, where is the truth of Emperor Hongzhi. According to the lower officials, this Mao Cheng and the others are purely looking for trouble, and they are rude to stir up three points, they are bullying the emperor when he is young! ”
When Zhang Cong first started to speak, he was obviously a little hesitant and hesitant. But when it came to the future, he was like a river, without any scruples, spitting stars flying all over the sky, and his spirit was flying. After he finished speaking, he stared at Qin Li with a pair of small eyes.
Boom! What Zhang Cong said was in Qin Li's heart, and Qin Li suddenly came to his senses at this time. What's going on? Could it be that he is the person I want to help Jiajing find? If this is the case, then it is really a response to that sentence, there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Qin Li couldn't help nodding and said, "Well, that's a good point, Master Zhang is really full of talent, and he has a deep study of the three rites!" ”
Being praised by Qin Li like this, Zhang Cong suddenly got a little carried away, he said with a smile, "Lord Qin, it seems that Lord Qin has the same opinion as the lower officials, if this is the case, the lower officials will be more relieved." Lord Qin, the lower officials actually wrote some opinions on this matter, and wrote some reasons for the opposition. Lord Qin might as well take a look. ”
Zhang Cong didn't wait for Qin Li to agree, so he excitedly took out a very square folded piece of paper from his sleeve pocket, which seemed to be very cherished by him.
It's no wonder that there are fewer drinks for a thousand confidants, for Zhang Cong, he actually didn't dare to take out such a point of view in front of the old ministers of the court, in that case, wouldn't it be to drown the spittle stars of the old ministers?
The key is that he was drowned by the spitting stars, and Zhang Cong could not get anyone's support or sympathy. In a word, it is difficult to find a bosom friend, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend. Zhang Cong couldn't find anyone with the same opinion as him. But today he finally met Qin Li, and Qin Li praised his theory.
Zhang Cong immediately realized that maybe his opportunity had come, and he was about to run when the time came. Qin Li agrees with his point of view, who is Qin Li? That's the celebrity around the emperor! If Lord Qin really said a few kind words for himself in front of the emperor, especially when he expressed his support for the emperor, then he would definitely be reused.
Zhang Cong knew very well that the current Emperor Jiajing might be in a difficult situation. Jiajing wanted his father to be the emperor, but the Manchu ministers did not have any supporters. At this time, Jiajingyan was not decadent and depressed. What Jiajing lacks most now is his supporters.
Zhang Cong was excited, he stretched out his hands and handed the paper to Qin Li. Qin Li took it and watched it immediately, but saw that it was written: The court said that the emperor became the heir of the great sect, and it was appropriate to call Emperor Xiaozong the imperial examination, and renamed King Xing as the emperor's uncle Xingwang, and Princess Xing Jiang as the emperor's uncle and mother Xing Princess, but he only held on to the story of King Tao of Handing and King Song Pu, and said that the latter was the son of the latter, and he was not allowed to talk about his personal relatives.
than those who have words, it is said that the court is appropriate. I am afraid that the rubber pillar is drumming and not suitable for the times, the party is different and not reasonable, and the ministers dare not think so.
Husband, how can there be a country without parents in the world! The ministers established the Qing Dynasty, and they were indignant and heartbroken, and they had to distinguish what was going on for the emperor. "Records" said: 'Etiquette does not come from the sky, nor does it come out of the earth, but only human affection. Therefore, the saint is favored by the courtesy, so the relatives are separated, the suspicion is decided, the similarities and differences are not different, and the right and wrong are also clear. ’
Emperor Wu has been filial piety for 17 years, and his ministers read the ancestral precept and said: Where there is no prince in the court, he will be a brother and a brother.
Emperor Wu has no heirs, and if he is subordinate to him, the emperor will have the world. The real Emperor Jugao personally gave the recipient also. Therefore, the testament said: Prince Xing should be established. At the beginning, after the beginning of the filial piety, compared with those who were pre-established as heirs in the palace, their public and private realities were relatively different.
Although it was full of literary language, Qin Li still understood it carefully and carefully. Qin Li's tiger eyes couldn't help but brighten up a lot. It's well written, it's really good, Zhang Cong is really talented and learned, if such an article is really confronted by those old ministers in the court, I'm afraid it will make all the old ministers think a lot.
Seeing Qin Li's joy, Zhang Cong became even more proud and excited. He smiled and said, "Lord Qin, if this article is not too profound and inappropriate, there is another article here in Xiaguan, please take a look at it." ”
Qin Li took a folded very delicate and careful letter stack from Zhang Cong's hand. This one was obviously written by Zhang Cong more carefully, and he also gave a special name called "Big Gift or Question"
Qin Li read it quickly, and he was even more overjoyed, this one is obviously sharper, and the research is more accurate. Qin Li secretly thought, Zhang Cong is definitely a talented person with a heart and a heart. If such a person is really used by the emperor, maybe he can really help Jiajing get through the difficulties.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but be even more impressed by Zhang Cong.
Zhang Cong was obviously a little lost at this time, he smiled on his face, and said, "Lord Qin, the lower official will leave here, if the two articles of the lower official continue to be spoken, then please bother the lord to forward it to the emperor."
Zhang Cong thanked Lord Qin! ”
Zhang Cong was obviously a little excited when he spoke, and he was even begging Qin Li. It may be that he has a lot of confidence, as long as Emperor Jiajing can see it, maybe his matter will be done.
He is a small head of the Zhengliupin Rite Department, of course, he can also go directly to the book. But the emperor who worked so hard to write on him couldn't see it. He first had to be read by Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. It was then forwarded to the Cabinet, which forwarded it to the Emperor.
Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood with the ministers, and he was actually the leader of these old diehards. Naturally, he would not present these two letters directly to the emperor. But he is the most likely to be deducted.
In fact, how could Zhang Cong's two letters get into Yang Tinghe's hands? Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the initiator of the emperor's change of father, and he would not have sent these two letters to the cabinet at all. On the contrary, it was torn up in front of Zhang Cong, and then scolded Zhang Cong with the greatest possibility.
No matter how well the two letters are written, no matter how convincing they are, no matter how they can refute the ministers, they can't reach the emperor's hand, and they are also a piece of waste paper, and there is no use for fart.
But Qin Li is for Zhang Cong to be able to handle this matter well, Qin Li is a person who goes directly to heaven.
Zhang Cong finally couldn't help it, and finally sincerely kowtowed to Qin Li three times before saying goodbye to Qin Li. Go home and wait for Qin Li's good news.
Zhang Cong was happy, and Qin Li was even happier at this time. What is called luck, this is called luck. It's hard to find such a person, but he took the initiative to send it to the door! Wait for the rabbit, there is really such a thing happening.
What promised Jiajing was to find the talent to refute the old ministers within three days, and today was the first day. This matter has to wait for three days, if it weren't for that, how would Jiajing know about my Qin Li's hard work!
Qin Li thought so.
Just as Qin Li was holding these two letters as if he had obtained a treasure, the porter hurriedly ran in, followed by Qin Li's father-in-law, Yang Tinghe, the head of the court. (To be continued.) )
