Qin Kan¡¯s ideas are usually very useful and rarely miscalculated, but they are usually not very kind.
Qin Kan has not changed his true colors after many years in the court. Qin Kan does not have much concept of right and wrong in his bones. Everything is just to achieve his goal. The difference between him and thousands of ministers in the court is that he will never be as disgusting as the ministers. Benevolence, righteousness and morality were always on his lips, so he became an alien in the eyes of ministers, and was eventually not allowed in the court.
Qin Kan doesn't care, he has his own persistence. On the other hand, even if he is accepted by all the ministers, he is not willing to join the ranks of these real hypocrites. He may be a bit mentally hysterical and always feels that he will soil himself.
A truly dirty person will never notice that he is dirty.

Today, many ministers gathered at Yang Tinghe's house in the inner city of the capital. The newly appointed cabinet scholar Liang Chu, the Minister of Household Affairs Han Wen and the Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng were also among them. It can be said that important ministers gathered together, which was equivalent to a small court meeting.
Yang Tinghe, who was sitting in the main seat, had an expressionless face, stroking his long beard and saying nothing, but Liang Chu stood in the hall and spoke impassionedly, waving hand gestures all the time, looking full of momentum.
"Your Majesty must not be allowed to continue to act nonsense!" Liang Chu emphasized that he had repeated this sentence countless times.
Liang Chu and Yang Tinghe were both born in the East Palace. They can be said to be Zhu Houzhao's old team when he was the Prince of the East Palace. Liang Chu, who once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, was originally careful and low-key in his life. However, once he was promoted to a cabinet scholar, he wanted to keep a low profile on some things. None of them worked. He was still in his position and seeking his own government. After entering the capital, he realized that the little prince of the East Palace had still made no progress and was still messing around.
"Nowadays, rumors are spreading among the people in the court. Your Majesty's confused imperial decree has become the biggest joke of our Ming Dynasty! Colleagues, this is a shame for my courtiers! What a shame!" Liang Chu almost roared.
Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, sighed and said with a wry smile: "With all due respect, Mr. Liang entered the capital from Nanjing not long ago, and he really doesn't know your Majesty's nature. We have experienced such jokes and humiliation many times, but His Majesty is such a naughty boy. If you do what you want without caring about the consequences, what can we do?"
Liang Chuyin said with a sullen old face: "My Ming Dynasty has been very stingy with titles since Yongle. The previous emperors have intentionally or unintentionally reduced their titles to prevent the nobles from becoming arrogant. Emperor Xiaozong was so wise. He found an excuse and even killed the queen's younger brother. The title of Shouning Marquis was reduced to Shouning Bo. Sir, having too many honors is not a good thing for our Ming Dynasty. However, Your Majesty treats the title as a rotten cabbage for free, giving it to whoever you want. If this continues, our Ming Dynasty will suffer. There are so many princes in the principality, where can we put our ministers who govern the world?"
Han Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with a sullen face: "That Qin Kan is also shameless. He knew clearly that His Majesty's imperial edict was invalid without the approval of the cabinet and the General Secretary. He still hid the imperial edict and refused to return it. He wanted to make Jin a Duke. He was really shameless. What is it?"
Liang Chu said seriously: "We can't let them succeed! Tomorrow, at the court meeting, we will gather our colleagues in the court and ask your majesty to take back your order and force Qin Kan to return the imperial edict. If your majesty does not agree, we will not hesitate to die to remonstrate with him!"
Liang Chu looked around at everyone and sneered: "Today's world is ruled by monarchs and ministers. Your Majesty cannot do whatever he wants. We are waiting for these courtiers to threaten them with death. I don't believe that Your Majesty will offend the world for a mere Qin Kan."
Everyone present nodded in response, but Yang Tinghe did not interrupt.
Han Wen glanced at him curiously and said, "Brother Jiefu, why are you silent?"
Yang Tinghe came back to his senses and forced a smile: "What you all said is absolutely true, I have no objection."
At this moment, Yang Tinghe's mind was no longer on the matter of Jin's title of Duke.
He is a bachelor of the cabinet. Although he has no right to interfere with the actions of the factory guards, he still heard the news yesterday.
For some reason, the Jin Yiwei of the capital sent countless spies to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province in disguise. This news made Yang Tinghe unable to help but feel frightened. What is there in Nanchang? In addition to the local government, there is also a prince with a very sensitive identity, Prince Ning.
Normally, even if the Jin Yiwei went to Prince Ning, it would have nothing to do with Yang Tinghe, but Yang Tinghe felt very guilty. This is because over the years he has privately accepted regular bribes of more than a hundred thousand taels from Prince Ning. Last winter from Tan Jing, in addition to accepting Prince Ning¡¯s silver and various jewelry, he also accepted a pair of stunning twins from Nanchang. Sisters, these two sisters are naturally charming, but fortunately they are still virgins. They have served Yang Tinghe attentively for half a year, making Yang Tinghe almost fascinated.
But yesterday, when the Jinyiwei spies rushed to Nanchang, they seemed to have poured cold water on Yang Tinghe's head, making him completely wake up from his delirium.
Prince Ning there is a problem!
This was Yang Tinghe¡¯s immediate thought, and then he felt extremely excited."The content of the edict, but I feel that this edict comes from a bad person, and it is probably related to Qin Kan's promotion to the nobility" Zhang Sheng said solemnly, stroking his beard.
Everyone nodded. They had long noticed Zhu Houzhao's malice, but they just kept it in their hearts and didn't say anything.
After just a cup of tea, the old housekeeper of Yang Mansion hurried into the front hall again, sweating on his forehead and said: "Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, your servants are also waiting for you at the door. They said The imperial edict has also come from the palace, waiting for you to return home to receive it."
Zhang Sheng was surprised: "Do I have a share?"
"¡¡right."
"This, this is nonsense! What on earth does Your Majesty want to do! Does he regard the imperial edict as a notice to calm the people and post it everywhere?" Zhang Sheng was furious.
Yang Tinghe said dejectedly: "It is better for Mr. Zhang to return home quickly and see what His Majesty wants to do. His Majesty is getting older and what he wants to do is becoming more and more elusive for us"
Zhang Sheng was so angry that his beard curled up and he hurried back home.
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly weird. Yang Tinghe and Han Wen looked at each other, and the ominous premonition in their hearts became deeper and deeper.
Not long after, the figure of Yang Mansion¡¯s old housekeeper appeared in front of the hall again.
Han Wen¡¯s face suddenly turned ugly: ¡°It¡¯s my turn to accept the order this time, right?¡±
The old housekeeper smiled awkwardly: "Yes."
"You idiot!" Han Wen didn't care so much, roared angrily, and then hurriedly left and returned home.
