Qian Ning knelt on one knee in the Second Hall of Fusi, Beizhen, holding his breath and looking respectful.
Ten years later, Qian Ning finally waited until the day when he was summoned again by the commander. His mood was very complicated, a little resentful, and a little bit excited about not living up to expectations.
Ten years ago, after the Ningping Rebellion was settled, Qin Kan fulfilled his promise and promoted Qian Ning from a member of a hundred households in Jinyi to a thousand households in Nancheng, the capital of Jinyiwei. At that time, Qian Ning was overjoyed, and he felt that he had ushered in a breakthrough in his career. During the rising period, prosperity, wealth, high officials and noble titles are beckoning to him, and it seems that he can get them at his fingertips.
However, the reality is cold and cruel. After Qian Ning became a member of a thousand households, his official career seemed to have come to an end. In the past ten years, Qian Ning worked hard to fight for Jinyiwei through life and death. During this period, Qian Ning successively made many contributions, and the documents requesting credit were passed through Nan The reports from the Zhenfu Division and the Jinyiwei Experience Division came to an abrupt end when they reached the desk of the commander Qin Kan. Qin Kan had no other words to express except a verbal praise that was lighter than boiled water.
Once, twice, three times What Qian Ning got in exchange was always a verbal commendation from the supreme leader of Jinyiwei. The people in Nanzhen Fusi and Experience Department were not fools. Seeing Mr. Qin's attitude, everyone naturally had their own thoughts. From then on, No one in Nanzhen Fusi asked for merit for Qian Ning, and Qian Ning's official career stopped at the thousand households in Jinyiwei, and he never made any progress from then on. He was in charge of this thousand households for ten years.
Qin Kan never felt that he was a gentleman. He was too defensive against outsiders. Whether he was a golden-collar vice-president in his previous life or a powerful minister under one person in this life, he was always surrounded by malicious people. The living environment in the officialdom was worse than in the workplace. , trusting outsiders too much will only lead to death. This is also the reason why he has been suppressing Qian Ning for ten years.
In the Second Hall of Fusi in Beizhen, Qin Kan held a tea cup in one hand and blew the tea carelessly. A pair of sharp eyes stared at Qian Ning's face without sadness or joy through the hazy mist.
He is very aware of the resentment in Qian Ning's heart, but he doesn't care. Over the years, are there still few people who hate him in the world? But he is still living well. As long as the people and things that are not good for him are under his control, he doesn't have to worry.
"Qian Ning" Qin Kan broke the silence and spoke slowly.
Qian Ning's body trembled slightly. His expression became more and more respectful: "My subordinate is here."
"You have worked hard these years. It is supposed to reward merits and punish demerits. With your merits, you should have been promoted, promoted, promoted, promoted, promoted, or even given a job. However, I have been holding you down. It was not my intention. . After all, the position of Jin Yiwei is fixed. Besides merit, qualifications are also indispensable. I deliberately suppressed you to stay in the position of Qianhu in Nancheng for ten years, and it is also because of my painstaking efforts. Don¡¯t blame me ¡¡±
Qian Ning¡¯s mouth twitched, obviously not a good expression. Qin Kan saw it and understood in his heart. After all, what he just said made even him want to vomit.
"My father-in-law is dedicated to cultivating his subordinates, but it is too late for my subordinates to be grateful, so how can I feel resentful? But I hope that my father-in-law will be loyal to my subordinates and allow my subordinates to lead horses and pedal for him and serve him. This is a subordinate." Blessings that will come from cultivating in the next ten lives.¡±
It was a beautiful reply. Qin Kan might have believed it if his IQ was below seventy, but now he just wants to vomit.
Glancing at Qian Ning helplessly, Qin Kan could only quickly pass on this false greeting, otherwise he was really worried that he would develop a feeling of sympathy for Qian Ning.
"I have something to entrust to you. If you handle it well, I will personally order you to be promoted to the rank of Imperial Guard."
Qian Ning was shocked, and his eyes suddenly showed an undisguised desire for power. Then he quickly lowered his head, his voice still calm: "Please give me an order, I am willing to go through fire and water."
"The Xuanfu has recently produced a talented man named Jiang Bin. Today he has chosen a beautiful and fragrant concubine for your majesty" Qin Kan showed a playful smile on his face: "It seems that General Jiang will be very successful in his career." It¡¯s so close, it¡¯s really enviable and enviable.¡±
Qian Ning thought for a moment and had to lower his head and asked: "May I ask what you mean"
"Oh, if it is convenient, I will create an opportunity for you to sleep with that beautiful and fragrant concubine. Naturally, she will not be able to enter the leopard room. What do you think?" Qin Kan looked at Qian Ning with a pleasant look.
"Ah? Thisthis" Qian Ning was shocked, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.
"I have seen that woman. Her beauty is radiant, her body is soft and fragrant, and she is a beauty. As the saying goes, if you die under peonies, you will be charming even if you are a ghost. You are really envious of others for sleeping with her for one night. It is a blessing. ¡¡±
"Master Master, please spare my life!" Qian Ning said nothing, kowtowing like garlic.
No matter how stupid you are, you know the crime of sleeping with the emperor's woman-to-be. Qian Ning's face was filled with despair, and there was no "happy" expression at all.
Qin Kan was a little disappointed with Qian Ning¡¯s reactionWang, this guy seems to be hard to fool
"You really don't want to have a romantic relationship? It'll be great" Qin Kan asked without giving up.
Qian Ning's eyes were red, and then he shook his head vigorously as if he was on drugs. Why don't you feel better if you die after being addicted?
Qin Kan sighed heavily, there are not enough fools these days
"Since you don't want to sleep with her, then come up with a way to prevent the beauty selected by General Jiang from entering the palace as a concubine?"
Qian Ning said: "I forgive you for being presumptuous, but between Jiang Bin and the father-in-law"
Qin Kan's face suddenly turned cold: "You don't need to know this."
"Yes, my subordinate made a mistake." Qian Ning lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, but the expression on his face showed a look of surprise.
Qin Kan looked at his expression coldly, knowing that he had misunderstood that he and Jiang Bin were competing for favor because of the choice of concubine. After all, once the selected concubine became Zhu Houzhao's pillow, it would be very useful.
Qin Kan didn't defend himself. He couldn't tell Qian Ning that just because he felt that the woman was not good-looking, becoming a concubine in the future would not only bring trouble to the palace, but also bring harm to the world. Concubine Wan Guifei during the Xianzong period was a good negative example. The vicious woman tormented Emperor Xianzong's harem to pieces, killing Xianzong until only Hongzhi was left, and he only survived under the desperate protection of countless demoted concubines and maids in the cold palace.
What's more, Qin Kan couldn't bear the thought of Zhu Houzhao being sucked into a scumbag by that charming woman.
It is undeniable that Mr. Qin has made many scumbag friends in the officialdom in his life, but he still does not want to see his friends become scumbags in the true sense.
Qian Ning thought about it for a long time, and gradually a ferocious look appeared on his face. He lowered his head and said quietly: "If you are relieved, please leave this matter to your subordinates. Within half a month, I can ensure that the woman cannot enter the palace." .¡±
Qin Kan stared at him for a long time and smiled: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Thank you for your trust, sir. If you can't do it, I will come and see you."
"Actually, sleeping with her is the simplest and most effective way. Would you like to think about it again?"
Qin Kan didn't want to worry about what method Qian Ning used to prevent the woman from entering the palace. It wasn't that he really trusted Qian Ning, but that Qin Kan had made a decision in his heart. If Qian Ning succeeded, Jiang Bin's plan would be ruined. If he couldn't do it, he just used this as an excuse to kill Qian Ning. Anyway, Jiang Bin and Qian Ning were not good people in Qin Kan's heart. No matter who was unlucky, he would like to see it.
After trusting Qian Ning to hand over the matter, Qin Kan returned to the house. As for Qian Ning's troubles outside, he didn't bother to care. Now Qin Kan is a powerful minister. A powerful minister cannot do everything personally. What he wants to see is the result.
The children at home are the big headache for Qin Kan, and this kind of thing can't be left to others, he can only be taught patiently by himself. He can't expect to be a general or a prime minister in the next year. He can only hope that there will be two less dandy boys on the streets of the capital to bully the male bully. Girl, leave some thin face and smile for Mr. Qin.
Qin Kang, the eldest son, was taught to read the Four Books and Five Classics in the study room at home. He had not learned a few lines of the Analects of Confucius for a long time. When an unknown evil fire rose in Qin Kan's heart, the maid came to report that a distinguished guest came to the door.
The distinguished guest¡¯s surname is Yang and his given name is Tinghe. He is now an out-and-out member of the Qin Party, ranking first as a bachelor in the cabinet.
Along with him was Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen. Speaking of which, the cemetery that the ancestors of the old Yang family chose for themselves before they died was indeed a geomantic treasure. Many talents came from their descendants. The name of Yang Shen was as early as ten years ago. Now he is famous all over the world.
Yang Shen¡¯s fame is not due to his father Yang Tinghe, but to himself. He was able to compose poems at the age of eleven and write articles at the age of twelve. He was known as a "child prodigy" in Sichuan. In the sixth year of Zhengde's reign, he went to Beijing for the scientific examination. Yang Shen lived up to expectations and was admitted as the first place in the Xinwei Ke palace examination, a veritable number one scholar.
Now Yang Shen is working hard to gain qualifications in the Hanlin Academy. It can be predicted that his future will be bright.
Qin Kan's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Yang Shen. He completely ignored Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, and walked straight to Yang Shen after entering the front hall.
¡°It¡¯s really a great honor for the number one scholar to come to my humble residence. Qin is honored¡±
Yang Shen was frightened by Mr. Qin's excessive enthusiasm. His hands were tightly held by Qin Kan. He couldn't break away or salute, and his face turned red.
"Are you busy?" Qin Kan asked coldly.
"Ah? Well I'm not busy." Yang Shen said extremely cautiously.
Qin Kan laughed and said, "As long as you're not busy, please come over. Please come over."
The young master is Qin Kang, the eldest son of the Qin family. If nothing else happens, he will be the next generation of Duke Ning, and he is also the son that Mr. Qin is most worried about.
Qin Kang walked into the front hall with a cool face, and Qin Kan became furious when he saw his appearance.
"You bastard, do you know who this gentleman is?"
Qin Kang glanced at Yang Shen from the corner of his eye and said: "Although I don't know this person, I can kill him under the horse in five years"
