Chapter 1208 Both King Yu and King Jing are not good enough, why don't you inherit the great treasure!
Inside Yuxi Palace.

Hearing Yan Shifan's name came from his old father's mouth, and there was no doubt that he was a sinner, King Yu and King Jing's eyes widened suddenly, showing a look of astonishment.

The targets of Jiajing's questioning were undoubtedly Yan Maoqing and Luo Longwen, who were already Yan Song's adoptive sons and the core of the Yan Party. Once they were taken down, they would be hurt.

But who is Yan Shifan?That's the parent-child, Yan Song and Ouyang Shi are just such a son, if they really disappear, the tree falls and the monkeys are scattered!
Taking a step back, it has always been the sacrifice of the righteous son to protect the parent and child. Could it be that the chief assistant wants to kill the relative righteously?

Jiajing was also obviously taken aback, with some surprise on his brows: "Mr. Yan Ge, why don't you speak more clearly."

"Yes!"

Yan Song bent his waist down, bent his whole back, and said slowly: "The old minister is old and weak, mentally tired, and he can't help but rely on his dog to deal with government affairs. He always wants to discuss with him before making a decision..."

When he first joined the cabinet, the chief assistant said the most, "We will make a decision after I discuss it with Donglou Xiaoer." Gradually, he simply asked Yan Shifan to draft the bill on his behalf.

You must know that the bill is the cabinet's reply on the memorial, and it will be submitted to the emperor for approval after it is drafted. It is the most important manifestation of the power of the cabinet ministers.

When Yan Song handed over this matter to Yan Shifan, he actually handed over part of the elder Ge's power to the past.

Jiajing was well aware of this, and it was natural for someone else to not do it like this and let other courtiers follow suit, but Yan Shifan was indeed smart, and he could always cater to the holy will, which made Jiajing quite satisfied. He received many awards and his status was natural more and more stable.

At this time, Yan Song's evaluation of this proud son was very unbearable: "However, the dog's intelligence cannot understand the holy worries at the top, and can't relieve the people's difficulties at the bottom. It is an embarrassing task!"

"Zhejiang and Nanzhili are important places of taxation for the imperial court. There are so many Japanese pirates there, and the Japanese country does not give up. If Hu Zongxian is transferred away, if it is difficult to suppress, wouldn't it cause a big disaster?"

"The old minister has no way to teach his son, let alone let the dog occupy a high position. It is a debt of grace, a debt of grace!"

Speaking of this, Yan Song took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it up high: "This is my resignation requesting dismissal, I hope Your Majesty will approve!"

King Yu and King Jing held their breaths slightly. If this person resigned from the position of chief assistant, even if he returned home after retirement, there would be a big earthquake in the court.

Jiajing didn't ask Lu Fang to pick it up, but just stared at the past deeply: "Mr. Yan Ge...do you want to put down the pick?"

Yan Song immediately lowered his head: "I dare not."

Jiajing was silent for a while, and said calmly: "Dare you, I won't let you down the pick! You have a little bit, I still know that you know the general situation, take into account the overall situation, and can use talents..."

King Yu's eyes moved slightly, and King Jing's face changed slightly.

If there is only the first half of the sentence, it is basically nonsense, and it is a scene of three words and three concessions. After all, Yan Song has also served the emperor for more than 20 years, so he can't just keep him at all.

But with the evaluation in the second half of the sentence, this chief assistant who is under one man and over ten thousand people may really not be able to leave.

For a prime minister who was writing green poems while Altan Khan led the army to attack Beijing, all the officials panicked, the evaluation of the overall situation is basically a joke, but it seems to be true that he can use talents. That's right.

Yan Song is greedy for power, framing Zhongliang, and his evil deeds are shocking. He is definitely no less than Yan Shifan, but there is one thing, he is always sober. The governance of the country cannot rely solely on people like them, but also on those capable officials.

Therefore, under the command of the Prime Minister of Qing Ci, there are still many people with real talents and real learning. Yan Song has talked about Hu Zongxian several times, and it is a pity that he was not recruited. This is also the reason.

This is what Jiajing valued. As the emperor, no matter how ruthless and ruthless he is, he still values ​​the country. , but it will not be desperate, the chief assistant who is everywhere in Fengyan is indeed rare.

Therefore, Jiajing had no plans to let Yan Song fall.

Of course, keeping Yan Song behind does not mean that the Yan Party can pass the test, and it does not mean that Yan Shifan can pass the test.

Jiajing was wary of the rapid expansion of the Yan Party, and also hated Yan Shifan's practice in the Tianshi Mansion.

These two incidents were really Yan Shifan's fault.

The former is reflected in the marriage with Xu Jie, which was promoted by Yan Shifan. He felt that this seemingly submissive Xu Ge was the future enemy of the Yan family, and he used the marriage to suppress his reputation and restrict his actions.

The latter is because Yan Shifan had seized the identity of a Taoist doctor early on, but he was also involved in it. He really regarded this great man who was revered by the emperor as a doctor who treated him.

In view of this, Jiajing asked: "Old Yan Ge thinks, how should we deal with Yan Shifan?"

Yan Song resolutely said: "If you disturb Shengxiu and disturb the country, you are a dog, and you will never show favoritism. You will be exiled and punished severely!"

Jiajing showed a half-smile expression again, and his moderate voice hovered in the hall: "It's good to be exiled, even Yan Shifan proposed to transfer Hu Zongxian, but it has not been implemented yet. What kind of article did you deal with like this? Daming law? Or... he also mastered the Japanese?"

Yan Song's mouth trembled: "This...Tongwo really didn't..."

Jiajing said: "Isn't it too late for the old godson of Yan Pavilion to use the imperial court's laws to intimidate him?"

Yan Song lowered his body: "Old minister... guilty!"

Looking at the old and tired chief assistant, Jiajing waved his hand with both a hint of empathy and a little disapproval: "Take your son back, the celestial master is not an imperial doctor, what does it look like to be on someone's house! Nonsense !"

As soon as the word nonsense came out, Yan Song's heart finally settled down, knowing that Yan Shifan's test had finally passed.

However, Jiajing did not finish speaking, and turned his eyes to the two princes: "You are also people who have children, remember this lesson, if Yan Shifan can learn more from Yan Ge, he will not be just Xiaoge old, what a pity No matter how crooked he is, he will never be able to stand on his own!"

King Yu and King Jing got up quickly, and Nuonuo should be.

Yan Song's heart ached.

In front of King Yu and King Jing, Jiajing gave this evaluation, which cut off Yan Shifan's future path to the cabinet. It can be seen that this narrow-minded Majesty did not let go of his dislike, but he was not prepared to punish him so severely. The chief assistant's prestige was lost.

Jiajing finally concluded: "Go back and discipline him well, remember the lesson this time, and stop having evil thoughts!"

"Yes!"

Yan Song bowed his head deeply, knowing that this discipline also includes Yan Maoqing and Luo Longwen.

In this turmoil, the two people who were actually involved in the crime of colluding with the Japanese were supposed to be discussed, but they were not mentioned during the whole process.

But everyone present knew clearly that this hurdle of the strict party was passed without any risk.

"Help Wei get up."

Jiajing resumed the intimate address for Yan Song in the past, and when the servant helped Yan Song, who was really exhausted, back to the short pier, he began to test the homework of King Yu and King Jing.

However, compared to the conversation with the courtier, there is a strong sense of strangeness between the father and son, and both sides feel uncomfortable while talking.

Jiajing had just reprimanded Yan Song to teach his son well, seeing that his son was not close, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and slowly closed his eyes.

King Yu, King Jing, and Yan Song hurriedly got up, looked at Lu Fang who had been silent all this time, and after she nodded slightly, they said in unison: "Your minister, leave!" "Old minister, leave!"

The sound of slight footsteps gradually faded away, and Lu Fang walked to the back, and in a huge copper incense burner, wrapped the handle with a thick veil, and took out a small copper pot.

Then he added a few pieces of sandalwood to the censer and covered the censer. Then Lu Fang took the copper pot and poured a cup of warm water into the purple sand cup.

Holding a water glass in one hand and a small porcelain medicine jar in the other, the inner minister walked up to Jiajing and said in a low voice, "Master, it's time to enter the alchemy."

Jiajing opened his eyes, stretched out his slender fingers, picked out a self-refined elixir from the porcelain pot, put it into his mouth, took the water and swallowed it in one gulp.

After taking the pill, Jiajing felt a little more at ease, and said lightly: "Do you think that Yan Song is disheartened after seeing the big things going wrong, and wants to retreat bravely to protect himself wisely, or is he retreating to advance for the sake of his son?"

Lu Fang frowned slightly.

In fact, when Jiajing asked this question, he already knew the answer.

This great son of heaven, influenced by the great ceremony of the year, really likes to wrestle with others, especially with his courtiers. Others want to go west, but he wants to go east...

Yan Song grasped this kind of mentality. If he wanted to frame a person, he would first praise that person, and then inadvertently framed him. When Jiajing saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, he finally fell into trouble, arousing Longyan's anger, and committed murder.

On the contrary, if Yan Song wants to save people, he will slander them, and even deliberately punish them too severely.

"Waiting for His Majesty's joy and anger, unleashing his majesty and blessing, and stealing the great power of the emperor", this sentence is extremely accurate for Yan Song's evaluation.

Of course, Jiajing may not be completely unaware of it after the incident, and his dissatisfaction with Yan Song will also increase day by day, and finally explodes completely in Lan Daoxing's sentence "there is a treacherous minister today".

Out of her loyalty to Jiajing, Lu Fang hated this behavior, and Yan Maoqing's previous behavior of dismissing beggars made everyone in the supervisor uncomfortable, so she answered very sadly at this moment: "What did Mr. Yan Ge do?" I don't dare to speculate on the idea, but the cause of this matter may be the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau..."

At this time, mentioning the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau brought Yan Song's painstaking efforts to teach his son Wufang to reality.

And it is the reality that Jiajing hates the most.

Compete with me for money!

The "Shangshu of the Household Department" of the Ming Dynasty sharpened his eyes, and snorted: "A dog of a feather, greedy!"

But scolding is scolding, Jiajing knows that it is unrealistic to want officials not to be greedy, the Taizu killed so hard and did not stop, let alone the current Daming.

So he won't withdraw his life childishly, but just murmured: "The treasury has no money, so we have to rely on Yan Shifan and the others to get it. Eight cents go to the treasury, two cents go to them, I admit it, seven cents go to the treasury, and three cents go to them." , I also endured..."

"If they don't even let the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau go, they can't even tolerate Hu Zongxian, and ruin the overall situation in the southeast, I can't tolerate them anymore!"

These self-comforting and ultimatum words were only heard by Lu Fang, who was close to him, at the first time, but the others didn't know it at all.

For example, when King Yu and King Jing came out of Yuxi Palace, they were full of worries. When they recalled their performance just now, they were secretly regretful. When they looked at Yan Song again, they seemed to be political tumblers.

With the help of this person in the next battle for the heir apparent, there is no doubt that his fortune will be greatly increased.

Thinking of his mocking words not long ago, King Jing was ready to make amends, and enthusiastically stepped forward to support him: "Mr. Ge, slow down!"

Yan Song's expression was indifferent, and his hand slowly moved away: "Thank you, Your Highness King Jing, I dare not be an old minister!"

King Jing's face froze, and King Yu hesitated a little when he saw it.

He has always been in contact with Qingliu. For example, Gao Gong, who lectured in the palace, has a hostile relationship with Yan Song under normal circumstances, but now seeing this great opportunity, he finally gritted his teeth and stepped forward to support him: "Ge is always the mainstay, Xiao Wang Jingzhi, as it should be!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yu..."

This time Yan Song didn't break free, instead he whispered to King Yu and walked forward.

"Damn old man, actually prepared to support that waste?"

King Jing's facial features were distorted, and with a flick of his long sleeves, he got into the royal sedan chair in shock and anger.

"In order to seize the heir, even a dog official like Yan Song has to work hard to win over, these two imperial brothers are really disappointing..."

They didn't know that in a palace deep in Xiyuan, there were two pairs of eyes staring at this place.

It was a special room, surrounded by red copper lamp holders in the shape of cranes. The slender beaks of the cranes were candle holders, and a candle as thick as an arm was inserted. The candle light flickered and the smoke curled up.

Two illusory figures hang in the center, through a scene of water mirror, watching King Yu and King Jing vying for each other, shaking their heads greatly.

The only ones who can call them younger brothers are Princess Chang'an and Prince Zhuang Jing.

Compared with the casualness of the past, Xiaoqian's demeanor at this time is a bit more dignified, and Prince Zhuang Jing is even more dazed, with sharp eyes, which means that all the "spirit lock rings" on her body have been lifted.

Xiaoqian has already remembered everything. In the palace, she doesn't have many people she likes, and she is very merciless in her evaluation of these two imperial brothers: "King Yu shrinks back, and King Jing shows off, they are far inferior to you. But there is still a struggle for the heir, and the court is in turmoil... Today, the underworld is chaotic, and the rewards and punishments are unfair. Rather than expecting a fair reincarnation, it is better to fight for the return of the sun, you really don't think about it anymore?"

Prince Zhuang Jing knew that this girl hoped that he would be resurrected and be crowned prince again, and now that she looked down on King Yu and King Jing, she even thought so.

But he is not willing to do this: "Returning Yang to be the prince is really not what I want. The resurrection of the prince who has been dead for many years will also cause turmoil in the world!"

Xiaoqian said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Compared with these two becoming crown princes, what is your resurrection?"

Prince Zhuang Jing smiled wryly, and said simply: "I grew up in the palace, but it was difficult to see my father. I only heard people around me say that real dragons cannot see real dragons. At that time, I thought, if I am not the prince, I should How wonderful..."

Xiaoqian followed Li Yan, experienced many sufferings in the world, and felt that the elder brother of the crown prince was in the midst of blessings and did not know his blessings: "The heir of a country is so honorable, how many people can't desire it, but you don't want to... you know All living beings are suffering, and when I change my identity and experience other troubles, I am afraid that I will miss the crown prince very much!"

Prince Zhuang Jing really didn't understand it, but he had a new goal, and said with a smile: "Then I will be more greedy. After reincarnation, how about worshiping my sister to practice?"

Xiaoqian shook her head: "I can't see the future of my cultivation path, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you..."

There are no such things as ghosts and immortals in this world, so naturally there are no related exercises. Xiaoqian is lucky. Li Yan taught the "Taiyuan Suppressing Law" of the Water Margin World, gathering the yin energy of Yuehua and turning it into mana, Become a ghost with Taoism.

But that's all. It's almost impossible to take this road to practice and become a fairy.

Prince Zhuang Jing said worriedly: "Then what will happen to you?"

Xiaoqian said: "It's a reincarnation, and after paying off the sins of this world, I will be a human..."

Prince Zhuang Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what kind of person do you want to be?"

"It is my greatest wish to return to that person's side..."

Xiaoqian sighed in her heart, and said slowly: "I don't expect too much, I only hope that you will be the prince, minister and general, and assist you to achieve great things!"

Prince Zhuang Jing shrank his head. Thinking of the words of the brothers and sisters chatting in detail during this period of time, his eyes rolled and he said: "I think you are more suitable than me. After reincarnation, you will be the prince. !"
