Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth chaotic preparations(2/2)
Qin Dewei accepted the order, then stuffed two ingots of silver into the eunuch who was running errands to deliver the order, and asked quietly: "What on earth is going on? Why did Your Majesty suddenly give a poem?"
The eunuch felt the weight of the silver, and then replied: "It was suggested by Mr. Yan Ge, saying that Scholar Qin has always been fond of literature, and your majesty should give him poems to strengthen his conduct."
Qin Dewei understood instantly that Mr. Yan Ge really had no good intentions!
Returning to the study, he continued to write the "Execution of the Master", and conveniently wrote a famous poem that can be passed down for hundreds of years, to accompany the poem given by the emperor: "We are weak, we have heavy responsibilities, and we are tired for a long time..."
I was only halfway through the essay when I heard a servant running over to report: "A group of Hanlin masters are coming in front! They all say they want to give you poems to strengthen your conduct!"
It was impossible for Qin Dewei to miss him, so he had to get up and go to the front hall, where he saw about ten Hanlin colleagues sitting in the side hall.
Those who can come to the gate of the Qin Mansion are very sincere in their thoughts, and they are also very sincere in presenting poems to support Qin Dewei.
For a while, everyone was blessing Qin Dewei and appreciating each other's works. The hall was very lively.
After that, several friends of the same age came, also coming for the trip.
Only Qin Dewei secretly smiled bitterly. In official circles, one can never just look at superficial phenomena. These Hanlin colleagues and friends of the same age may really have no ill intentions, but there are definitely others who are making trouble.
Originally, the imperial court did not have high hopes for this expedition, and the expectations were not high. It would be enough to stabilize the situation and prevent further deterioration.
But there are people who make trouble like this, and a large number of people come together to make a grand performance. Each poem is more heroic and high-spirited than the other, and the tone of each one is louder than the last.
There are all the words that can be used, such as "conferring a prince", "conquering the stone Yanran", "taking the dragon city", and "killing the barbarian horse".
Maybe it was well-intentioned, but when such words piled up, the atmosphere immediately changed, raising the expectations by several levels. And don't forget, there was also a poem from Emperor Jiajing.
But public opinion will backfire. If the result does not meet the expectations of public opinion, what will be the consequences?
Qin Dewei, who came from a time when public opinion broke out, is of course very clear about this.
But he was leaving tomorrow and had no time to stay in the capital to cool down public opinion.
So I can only hope that everything goes well with my plan and resist possible public backlash.
After sending all the guests away, Qin Dewei returned to the study again and saw Mrs. Li sitting on the desk, waiting for him.
Qin Dewei sighed and advised: "Women are not allowed in the army."
Miss Li said: "I can dress up as a boy, just like the time I accompanied you to Nanjing last time, when I dressed up as a book boy."
Qin Dewei still refused: "That's not appropriate either. There are too many inconvenient places to travel!"
Miss Li was very unconvinced and said: "Why is it inappropriate? I heard that it is normal for a gentleman like you to take a handsome scholar with him when he goes out. No one will care even if he sleeps in the same bed.
"
Qin Dewei: "..."
------Digression-----
There are general ideas for the future, but there are many blind spots in knowledge and lack of details. I may take a day off tomorrow to read the massive amount of information. I can only ask for your understanding, all for the sake of more exciting plots.
In addition, it is better to shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket. It is impossible not to ask. This ranking is too important.
