I think the only way to apologize is to resign from Zhan Shi, and I will also resign from my official position in the Hanlin Academy and will no longer hold concurrent posts!"

Everyone was shocked, Qin Dewei, are you telling the truth? There is no joke before you!

Of course, Qin Dewei was very sensible. He wanted to be promoted to the official position of Zhan Shifu in order to upgrade. After all, among the Ci Lin officials, only Shao Zhan Shi was in the fourth rank. If he wanted to be directly promoted to the fourth rank from Ci Lin, he was the only Shao Zhan Shi.

Now that even the third-grade threshold has been crossed, what is the use of retaining the official position of Zhan Shifu? Not to mention that Zhan Shifu is noble, there was never room for development in Zhan Shifu during the Jiajing Dynasty!

The same principle applies to the official positions in the Hanlin Academy. Since Emperor Jiajing hid in Xiyuan to cultivate immortality, Hanlin officials no longer have official positions that allow them to have much contact with the emperor. The identity of a Hanlin official who is only a fifth-grade official is no longer useful. A serious cabinet scholar is just like a bachelor.

Nor can he serve as a Hanlin official at the same time.

Since Lu Bing is looking for trouble, let's resign together.

Emperor Jiajing was puzzled and shouted: "How can I arbitrarily deprive a minister of his official position without committing a serious crime?"

Qin Dewei replied: "Since some people accuse me of not doing my job properly, I might as well change my official position and let me supervise the Ordnance Bureau!"

It would be unreasonable for Zhan Shi to engage in firearms development, but it would be justifiable for the Admiral to supervise the Ordnance Bureau to engage in firearms development!

Emperor Jiajing was speechless. Zhan Shi was a third-rank noble, and the Arms Bureau was a ninth-rank yamen. Your Qin Dewei method of changing is completely unscientific!

Qin Dewei said loudly: "If I am determined to do this, please change Zhan Shi to be the left minister of the Ministry of Industry and supervise the Ordnance Bureau! Firstly, this will show that you have no intention of fighting for power, and secondly, it will resolve the recent doubts of the imperial court about me!"

In Zhan Shi's Mansion, Zhan Shi and the Minister are barely equal, but their qualifications are a bit different. Zhan Shi is the top noble, the Ministry of Industry is at the bottom of the Sixth Ministry, and there is no chance that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry will be included in the cabinet.

But Qin Dewei has achieved so many things that he has become so detached that he doesn’t care about this so-called forcefulness.

However, in the eyes of most people, if such a change is made, it can be regarded as a blow to Qin Dewei, and it can also be regarded as the court's response to Qin Dewei's recent actions.

After all, Qin Dewei was blatantly domineering. If the court was completely indifferent and didn't even make a superficial comment, where would the credibility be?

Wucao! Only Yan Shifan was shocked. If Qin Dewei also served as the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, wouldn't he become his boss? Is this a human affairs?

Moreover, Yan Shifan knew that even though the Ordnance Bureau basically had no sense of presence in the political power structure and was purely a craftsman's office, Qin Dewei still could not be allowed to supervise the Ordnance Bureau.

Because this is Qin Dewei's usual tactic to erode power! First he settles in a completely inconspicuous small place, and then gradually expands his power!

At that time, Qin Dewei first oversaw the Siyi Guan, a marginal yamen with no rank, and then gradually reorganized the Siyi Guan into the Yiwu Yamen!

Yan Shifan, as a person who was sent eight thousand miles away, knows this best! If Qin Dewei is allowed to supervise the Ordnance Bureau, who knows how it will turn out!

Thinking of this, Yan Shifan stared at Lu Bing hatefully, what a pig teammate!

Originally, things were about to end, but why did you, Lu Bing, jump out and do it! In the end, you gave Qin Dewei this excuse!
Chapter completed!
