    The words are unclear and unclear.

    People in the world are often swayed by emotions and unconsciously ignore the other side of things. Cabinet bachelors are also mortals, so naturally they are no exception.

    In Yang Tinghe's eyes, Qin Kan was definitely not a good person. From the first time he met Qin Kan in Donggong Chunfang, he was classified as a "sycophant" by Yang Tinghe. In his opinion, anyone who did not persuade the prince to study hard  Yes, those who play and play with the prince are all sycophants, and they are filthy things that hinder the prince from becoming a wise and holy king.

    Later, when the prince ascended the throne and Qin Kan gradually came to power, Yang Tinghe became more and more sure that his original guess was correct. The inner and outer courts joined forces to kill Qin Kan and the eight tigers in the inner palace. Yang Tinghe was on the outside and saw everything, and Qin Kan turned defeat into victory.  , reversed the situation, led troops to massacre the East Factory, and killed thousands of people with one order without blinking an eye. Yang Tinghe was horrified by what he saw, and he even had a bad look towards Qin Kan from then on. If we talk about the current impression of Qin Kan by the civil service group,  Take Yang Tinghe's attitude as a typical example.

    "You can't scrutinize everything carefully. Once you scrutinize it, you will find that your opinion is completely wrong."  Nothing can be compared. Once you compare, you will find that there is no worst, only worse.

    Qin Kan is bad enough, but there is a bad guy in the palace who is so bad that he is leaking oil.

    As the saying goes, evil people need to be punished by evil people. The premise of this sentence first requires two evil people. Now that one is dead, who can control the remaining one?

    Li Dongyang looked at Yang Tinghe's dumbfounded look and sighed: "Does Jiefu understand now? Regardless of whether Qin Kan is loyal or traitorous, Qin Kan is our barrier to the court. Jiefu might as well think about it again.  Since Qin Kan became an official, he has fought so many people and his methods are so vicious. However, the targets he attacks are either nobles, vassal kings, or eunuchs in the palace. How has he ever attacked a civil official in my court? Even though he has spoken countless words  The official and censor often go to the court to impeach him, and he often scolds him to death. Have you ever seen him attack the official?"

    "Look at Liu Jin, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, how many people have he killed since he came to power? Who of the people he killed was not a civil servant in the DPRK? After the implementation of the so-called 'New Deal', Liu Jin's methods were never more vicious than Qin Kan's.  ? In the past, when Qin Kan was here, how could Liu Jin dare to be so arrogant? Wang Shouren, Liu Jin wanted to kill him, but Qin Kan openly and secretly stopped him, leaving him speechless. Dai Mi was killed with a stick, Liu Jin  The price paid was the life of his godson. Mr. Jie, you guys are too prejudiced against Qin Kan, but I have always felt that Qin Kan was not a bad person. In the past, you couldn't see it. Now that Qin Kan is dead, you should finally wake up.  Bar?"

    Yang Tinghe was stunned for a long time and said nothing. He chewed Li Dongyang's words carefully in his heart and had to admit that Li Dongyang was right. Qin Kan also killed people, but he killed only those who deserved to be killed. Compared with Liu Jin who kills civil servants now.  In terms of arrogance, Qin Kan is simply a living Bodhisattva blessed by thousands of Buddhas and heavenly officials.

    When he thought that Qin Kan was dead, the civil servants lost a barrier to resist Liu Jin's butcher knife. Yang Tinghe could not help but feel eclipsed. He unknowingly changed his mood towards Qin Kan, and even he himself was not aware of it.

    "Qin Kan is not a bad person." Yang Tinghe finally made a very pertinent conclusion. It is very rare for him to say this without sand in his eyes.

    With two wry smiles, Yang Tinghe said, "Why didn't Mr. Xiya convince me earlier?"

    Li Dongyang sighed: "Qin Kan's words and deeds are unique. People in the world do not care about his slander or praise. Everyone in the court regards him as an enemy. I have told you this a long time ago. Can you accept it?"

    Yang Tinghe shook his head, with a look of shame on his face.

    Li Dongyang said deeply: "Qin Kan endured the humiliation and shouldered the burden. The world has misjudged him"

    ***************************************************  *************

    The bronze bell in the Feng Tower of the Imperial Palace rang in vain, ringing again and again, the deep and solemn bell echoing over the capital.

    All the officials in Beijing were confused. The rhythm of the bell clearly meant summoning ministers to court.

    Since he ascended the throne, Emperor Zhengde has taken the initiative to convene ministers for a court meeting. Today is the first time that this is unprecedented. What does this young and absurd emperor want to do?

    The ministers all dressed up at home and walked towards the palace with a slightly hasty pace.

    In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a pterosaur gauze crown and a five-claw golden dragon robe, looked mournful. There was no courtesy between the monarch and his ministers. The first sentence of his opening remarks was that Qin Kan sacrificed his life for the country and died in the battle of Liaohe. Ministers were invited to discuss how to recover.  Feng, how to make a knight.

    Convening ministers for discussion is also a last resort. As long as the title is granted without the approval of the ministers, the emperor's decree cannot leave the central palace. If the ministers do not agree, the imperial edict will be returned by the cabinet and the General Affairs Department, and will be regarded as invalid.

    The power of ministers in the Ming Dynasty was so great.??This is also the reason why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty lived a miserable life. Some emperors were angry with their ministers and simply did not go to court for decades, which was also a way of protesting against the excessive power of their ministers.

    "A knighthood?" All the ministers were stunned.

    It is a fact that he sacrificed his life for the country, and it is also a fact that Liaohe fought to the death and refused to retreat. Regarding Qin Kan¡¯s actions, everyone in the court, whether they were enemies or friends, felt sincere admiration. This is an era that pays attention to integrity. With integrity, the details of the past  All grudges seem to be forgiven in an instant. Death is like a light going out. It would be a loss of grace to hold on to past grudges.

    Forgiveness is forgiveness, but forgiveness also has a bottom line. The topic of giving Qin Kan a title is obviously beyond the bottom line tolerance of the ministers.

    Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Emperor Taizu and the peace of Emperor Chengzu, the two dynasties have awarded ministers with meritorious services, and no less than dozens of people have been awarded titles. However, these people all contributed to the founding of the country, and there is nothing to say about their titles.  Since Yongle, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been extremely stingy with titles. This is also an unspoken consensus reached between the emperor and his ministers.

    The imperial court doesn¡¯t mind giving you high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and it doesn¡¯t mind giving you gold, silver, and beautiful maids. No matter how much glory and wealth you try, in the end only you will enjoy it, and your descendants will have no share.  But knighthood is different. Titles are passed down from generation to generation. You will be honored for your contribution, but your descendants have neither merit nor virtue. Why should they enjoy the glory of their parents and ancestors?  There are already enough noble descendants in the court who have gained something for nothing, why should we add one more?  What do you think of teaching these ministers who have studied hard since childhood and struggled to get ahead?

    After hearing Zhu Houzhao's decision to pursue the title, all the ministers were shocked and looked indignant.

    In the classroom, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe looked at each other in surprise. Li Dongyang's expression remained unchanged, and Yang Tinghe's lips murmured. Thinking of the conversation he had just had with Li Dongyang, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.

    "Your Majesty can grant Qin Kan the title of Honor, but he cannot grant him a title!" A man named Xiong Qing from the Etiquette Department took the lead in opposing the incident.

    Today, Zhu Houzhao seemed unusually calm, and he was no longer angry in the face of opposition from ministers.

    As soon as Xiong Qing finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao said with an expressionless face: "Xiong Qing has digressed. What I want to discuss with you today is what kind of title to give Qin Kan. I am not discussing with you whether to give him a title. You go back."

    "Your Majesty"

    boom!

    Zhu Houzhao suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard and said angrily: "Go back!"

    The ministers were startled by Zhu Houzhao's rare persistence and anger. His Majesty seemed a bit unfamiliar today.

    Xiong Qing seemed to be at war with Zhu Houzhao. Not only did he not retreat, but he held his neck and said loudly: "The generals will fight to the death, the civil servants will fight to the death, and the minister will not retreat! Qin Kan and the Tatar cavalry fought to the death to fulfill the integrity of the loyal minister, and the minister and his colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty  I feel the same admiration, admiration is admiration, but it is absolutely forbidden to be knighted. Since the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, few people have been knighted. During the civil war, Emperor Yingzong was captured, and the Ora soldiers came to the capital. At the most critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, the country was in danger.  Yu Qian, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Yu Shaobao, mobilized the regiment to train local soldiers and lined up in the nine gates of the capital. After several fierce battles, he finally ordered Oala to retreat. The country was on the verge of collapse, and the building was about to collapse. Such a great contribution to the country, Emperor Daizong only granted the title of Prince Shaobao.  He didn't mention the title or title, but I dare to ask Your Majesty, how does Qin Kan's achievements compare with Shaobao's?"

    Xiong Qing¡¯s words made the ministers nod in agreement. His words also represented the thoughts of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

    It¡¯s one thing to admire Qin Kan¡¯s integrity in fighting to the death, but it¡¯s another thing to pursue a title.

    The title of the Ming Dynasty is not so easy to obtain. It cannot be awarded to those who have made great contributions to opening up new territories and saving the country from crisis. What is Qin Kan's contribution?  He fought the Liaohe River with 5,000 Tatar cavalry. According to Qin Kan's final letter, the battle was clearly defeated. 8,000 honor guard officers and soldiers died with Qin Kan. The imperial court could commend Qin Kan for his integrity and grant him the title of "Right Pillar"  Titles such as "Guo" and "Ronglu Dafu" are enough, but knighthood is totally unreasonable.

    After Xiong Qing finished speaking, many ministers came forward to oppose Qin Kan's ennoblement, even if the person died.

    Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Qin Kan investigated the salt case, established the Holy Word, eliminated traitorous eunuchs, killed Li Gao, married Duoyan, and finally fought the Liaohe River with the Tatars. With so many achievements, why can't he be granted a title? If you don't accept it, give it to me.  Look at all these great achievements!"

    "The whole dynasty is filled with red-eyed and jealous people. How can loyal ministers and meritorious ministers have a way out? Forget it, I will not discuss it with you today. I have made up my mind. Qin Kan has made great contributions and deserves to be knighted. This is what he paid for with his life.  Yes! Liu Jin."

    "The old slave is here."

    "The Chief of Ceremonies drafted the edict, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Qin Kanyun, was civil and military. He was powerful in barbarians, and had a righteous character and good deeds. It is appropriate to commend him and bestow it on him" Zhu Houzhao paused and looked at the angry expressions of the civil and military officials in the court.  Finally he sighed secretly.

    It is impossible to be granted the title of Duke. It is very likely that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will be killed in front of him, and a large number of them will die.

    Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to compromise, and continued unwillingly: "I conferred the title of Marquis of Shanyin, which is hereditary and irreplaceable, and the favor of heaven forever."

    "Your Majesty, wait!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said with a confused look on his face: "As far as I know, Qin Kan has no heirs, so how can he be hereditary?"

    Zhu Houzhao curled up his lips and smiled coldly: "Young ladies, please listen clearly, Qin Kan has a heir!" (To be continued.
