- Qin Kan's suggestion was very good. The Yang family and his son were so moved that they jumped up.
"Absolutely not! The fourth rank of the left counselor of the General Affairs Department, a editor who just came out of the Hanlin Academy, how can he be so virtuous and capable? He can't do it, he can't do it" Before his son could say anything, Yang Tinghe flatly denied it.
Qin Kan really wanted to use his father-in-law Du Hong as a reference. Compared with Yang Zhuangyuan, Du Hong was called "How virtuous and capable." Without blushing.
Yang Shen's face was filled with joy. He knew the importance of the left counselor of the General Affairs Department, and he was about to pretend to refuse a few words and then agree. However, his father's categorical denial was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, from the outside to the inside. Cool to the core.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two father and son, Qin Kan couldn't help but chuckle: "Mr. Yang, please don't say more. Your son's reputation as the number one scholar is not earned by his shadow, but by his own ability. It took eight years of hard work in the Hanlin Academy before he officially became an official, and he is already considered a modest gentleman. To be honest, your son has not benefited from you. On the contrary, it is Mr. Yang's status as a cabinet bachelor that has hindered Brother Yang's future"
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed sadly, looking at Yang Shen with a more apologetic look.
Qin Kan then smiled and said: "Mr. Yang must know that last month, the memorial letter of Liu Weiming, the left counselor of the General Affairs Department, was submitted to the cabinet, and His Majesty also agreed. The day when Liu Weiming will resign is approaching, and the new candidate has not yet been decided. Brother Yang has enough knowledge and qualifications to hold this position. Although it is not in line with the rules to be promoted to the fourth-rank counselor suddenly, our government appoints talents in an eclectic way. Brother Yang is not the only one who is suddenly appointed to a high position? As the saying goes, do not avoid relatives in internal promotions. , Mr. Yang has been worried about the officials talking about impeachment in recent years and has deliberately ignored Brother Yang. Doesn't this mean he is inferior? If any official is dissatisfied, ask him to give birth to a son who is the number one scholar. "
Yang Tinghe was very moved by Qin Kan's words. He stroked his long beard and closed his eyes in deep thought.
Yang Shen kept looking at Qin Kan, with gratitude in his eyes.
Qin Kan also cast a look of sympathy at Yang Shen, and told him with his eyes, yes, my father-in-law used such shameless words to become the censor of Zuodu because of me. I originally introduced him to the ceremony. Supervise work. The old man won't do it
He hesitated for a while. Yang Tinghe finally figured it out.
Yes, I gave birth to a son who was the number one scholar, and the son who was the number one scholar honestly worked hard in the Hanlin Academy for eight years, and turned from a young talented man in his prime into a middle-aged eccentric. Why not become a leftist senator now? why not? Count through the dynasties. Which top scholar lived in such a miserable state?
I made a decision in my heart. Yang Tinghe smoothed his long beard and said with a smile: "So, everything is troublesome to Mr. Qin. I hold an important position, but it is really inconvenient for me to come forward. I am ashamed."
Yang Shen stood up in silence without any unnecessary nonsense. After adjusting his clothes, he gave Qin Kan a very formal Confucian bow.
Qin Kan hurriedly returned the gift and said with a smile: "Brother Yang's talent as the number one scholar cannot be buried. As far as the Duke is concerned, I am also selecting talents for the country, and Brother Yang can be of great use."
The purpose of the Yang family's visit today was achieved. The three of them laughed and chatted in the front hall, focusing on the gossip of the court and the secrets of the palace. After sitting for half an hour, the Yang family's father and son stood up to leave, and Qin Kan sent each other off with a smile. .
The father and son had just crossed the gate of the Qin Mansion with one foot. Qin Kan suddenly said from behind: "Brother Yang received the gift of a dog today, which can be regarded as a formal apprenticeship. Tomorrow, a cultivator from the Duke's Mansion will be sent to the Yang Mansion. I also hope that Yang will be a master." Brother, don¡¯t give up. If Quanzi fails to get the top prize in the future, don¡¯t blame me for turning against you"
Plop!
The father and son staggered in unison, and fell down outside the gate of the Qin Mansion in an unstoppable posture, like a hungry doga tiger descending the mountain.
"The number one scholar is the number one scholar. Even when he attacks the streets, he is so amazing and uninhibited" Qin Kan looked at Yang Shen's naked figure with envy and jealousy. Thinking of his son who already had the potential to kill and set fire, Qin Kan sighed with regret. .
*************************************************** ******************
Ten days have passed quickly, and the capital has become lively recently.
Many family members of officials from other places came to the capital in groups. Carriages with airtight curtains drove into the capital. The carriages were filled with the female family members of officials from other places who had not yet left the cabinet.
Emperor Zhengde¡¯s first concubine selection began fourteen years after he ascended the throne.
Early in the morning, the chief eunuch of the Jingshi Room stood in front of the Cheng'an Gate at the south gate of the palace, patiently waiting with a smile on his face for the girls from all directions to be chosen from good families.
The selection of concubines in the Ming Dynasty was different from that of previous dynasties. In order to prevent the concubines from being disturbed by the party, the emperor in principle had to select concubines from poor and good families. It was absolutely forbidden for the female relatives of powerful courtiers to enter the palace. The criteria for selecting concubines were very complicated and cumbersome. , apart from looking at his eyesIn addition to external conditions such as nose, lips, hair, ears, forehead, eyebrows, voice, etc., one must also pay attention to moral conduct. Everything is judged based on the "Women's Training" compiled by Empress Ma in the first year of Hongwu. Those who fail will be returned. , The emperor's grace is so great, we will unconditionally provide you with free shipping and travel expenses for returns.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty has been a country for more than 100 years, and the rules have changed slightly. The selection of concubines is no longer limited to poor women from good families, but is mainly based on the wives of minor officials. In any case, ladies raised by officials do have a competitive advantage. , regardless of poetry, calligraphy, painting or gentle temperament, they are much better than poor women. This is an inevitable trend.
What makes men most envious and jealous is that the age limit for concubines to be selected is between thirteen and nineteen years old. Standing in a row in front of the palace are all fresh and lovely little lolita, which makes people secretly secretive. While calling the emperor a beast, I also yearn for the lolita to let go of that beast. Come at me if you have any questions
The eunuch in charge of the Jingshifang is named Ma Chun. He has been leading the Jingsifang since the third year of Hongzhi. As the name suggests, the Jingsifang is of course in charge of the emperor¡¯s sexual affairs. That is, every time the emperor and his concubines are having the most fun, they play the role of the person outside the window. A character who tries to remind the emperor not to get too excited. When the emperor is having fun, he often has to shout "It's time for the emperor to wake up"
Ma Chun¡¯s ability to live peacefully until the 14th year of Zhengde is probably related to the feng shui of his ancestral tomb
Therefore, this kind of people are usually the least favored by the emperor. Ma Chun, who has been the chief minister of the Jingshifang for nearly thirty years and has not moved his position, is a typical example.
¡¡¡¡
Emperor Zhengde chose his concubine for the first time in the fourteenth year after he ascended the throne. It was a major event in the world, and it was also a grand event in the ceremony room. Standing outside the palace gate, Ma Chun couldn't help but burst into tears.
How many years has it been, how many years have you not seen so many orioles and swallows flying in confusion?
In front of Cheng'an Gate, countless carriages stopped in the square. The coachmen opened the curtains, and hundreds of charming and graceful women got out of the carriages. They gathered in small groups, chirping like a group of sparrows, unprepared by the wind and waves. The simplicity and happiness of worldly things make this cold and cruel Ming Palace seem to have a sense of sunshine.
At a quarter of the hour, Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, Qin Kan, Duke of Ning, and Jiang Bin, the guerrilla general of the Xuanfu, arrived in front of Cheng'an Gate on time wearing official robes. Ma Chun narrowed his eyes, and then greeted him warmly with a smile on his face. Come up.
Three envoys and deputy envoys for concubine selection, a eunuch in the respect room, and countless eunuchs and female officials formed the jury for today's concubine selection.
Ma Chun had a delicate heart and was very polite to Mao Cheng, Qin Kan and Jiang Bin. The four of them gathered together to chat for a while. Mao Cheng looked at the sky, then nodded and smiled at Qin Kan, indicating that the selection of the concubine would officially begin, but He was cold and indifferent to Jiang Bin, not even paying attention to him from the corner of his eye.
These days, the idea of ??the noble and the lowly is deeply ingrained. Qin Kan was a scholar, a hereditary noble, and a powerful minister. If Mao Cheng did not want to be killed by bandits on his way home after becoming an official, he would I have to be polite to Mr. Qin, but I am not so polite to Jiang Bin. In the eyes of the dignified Minister of Rites, how can there be room for so much messy wild garlic?
Jiang Bin doesn't care if Mao Cheng is polite to him. He is a military commander of the Xuanfu, and military commanders do not follow the usual path.
The path Jiang Bin chose was not to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, but to take another shortcut.
He bet his chips on a woman.
Qin Kan had seen that woman, and she was indeed stunning. Later, he sent someone to check, and found out that the woman's surname was Wang, and she was the daughter of Wang Jianzhi of Shunde Mansion. Her identity was indeed true, and she was indeed qualified to be selected into the palace. However, the Jinyiwei spies still I found out more about this Wang family.
It is not yet known whether the daughter is innocent or not. This will naturally be checked by the female officials in the palace. However, the Wang family is very famous in Shunde Mansion. When she was six years old, she ordered the nursing home to beat the old servant of the family to death for trivial matters. When she went to the private school at home, she also In a quarrel, she smashed the head of the invited teacher with an inkstone. The teacher was so angry that she summoned her classmates to seek justice from her father. However, Wang behaved like a coward and falsely accused the teacher of wanting to be frivolous to her, which made the teacher's reputation even worse. Destroyed, after returning home, he used ropes to build beams, following the old path of Qin Gongye's predecessor
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I really don¡¯t know what kind of bad luck Jiang Bin had, that he discovered such a stunning and vicious woman.
¡¡¡¡
An inconspicuous carriage parked leisurely in front of Cheng'an Gate. Mrs. Wang stepped out of the carriage, still looking soft and frail, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, and like an easily frightened little child. Rabbit bit her lower lip and looked around timidly at the chattering women around her. Her helpless eyes showed a bit of shyness and helplessness. Her appearance on the stage immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Qin Kan looked at her expressionlessly. If he hadn't sent someone to inquire about her details, he would have been drunk to death under her helpless eyes. It is certain that Zhu Houzhao, a guy who has never seen the world, If you see her, you will definitely fall in love at first sight, and then all the civil and military officials in the court will wait quietly for the harem to be in chaos and blood will flow like a river.
"She must not be allowed to meet Zhu Houzhao!"
Qin Kan quietly clenched his fists and made a decision secretly.
