Chapter 611: Big Shuffle (Part 2)(2/2)
After Emperor Jiajing pondered for a long time, he spoke again and said: "I just allowed Qin Dewei to resign as your concubine. It seems a bit hasty and it is really unfair to a meritorious minister."
Qin Dewei said quickly: "This is your Majesty's sage wisdom. I am indeed not suitable to assist the East Palace!"
Emperor Jiajing still ignored Qin Dewei and asked his chief assistant: "Is there still a vacancy for the officials in the East Palace?"
Xia Yan looked at the record and replied: "The agreement has just been completed, and there are no vacancies now."
Emperor Jiajing ordered: "Then add another official position."
Xia Shoufu was a little confused, what should I add?
Emperor Jiajing added: "Reinstate the bachelor of Zuo Chunfang in Zhanshi Mansion."
Xia Shoufu was even more confused. Eighty or ninety years ago, the imperial court abolished the creation of left and right Chunfang bachelors.
In the earliest days, cabinet ministers once borrowed the official title of Zuochunfang University Scholar.
Later, cabinet ministers changed their official names to Diange Dashi, such as Wenyuange Dashi, Wuyingdian Dashi, etc., and no longer borrowed Zuo Chunfang Dashi.
However, the official title of Zuochunfang University Scholar was too domineering and could easily be confused with the title of Cabinet University Officer, so it was dropped.
The ministers were speechless. What else is the emperor going to do?
Although everyone was used to Emperor Jiajing having frequent convulsions, the emperor could always have another convulsion at an unexpected angle.
Emperor Jiajing then looked at Qin Dewei and continued to issue an order: "Appoint Qin Dewei and Bachelor of Zuo Chunfang. He will not participate in the lecture affairs of the East Palace and will only be responsible for supervision."
The ministers were immediately in an uproar. Your Majesty was too fond of Qin Dewei. Is it because he was a "Jiajing man"?
Qin Dewei has clearly stated that he wants to go abroad, but His Majesty is reluctant to let him go?
Even the official position of "Grand Scholar of Zuo Chunfang", which had been dead for almost a hundred years, was immediately given to Qin Dewei!
Although this official is only a fifth-rank official, his name is "Grand Scholar"! And because of its historical origin, it can be called an extremely special official position!
But this appointment was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Qin Dewei directly, and he even forgot the etiquette of thanking him.
The East Palace is a big pit. He has already escaped. Why does the emperor have to drag him back? Are you sick?
Qin Dewei hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! How virtuous and capable I am, I will never be worthy of it! I dare not accept my order!"
Emperor Jiajing sneered secretly, although I don't understand why Qin Dewei wants to run away, but it doesn't matter, I can prevent you from running away and see what you are thinking!
