Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 48 The Most Special Person in the Court
One eye was wide open, but the other eyelid drooped.Not only was he one-eyed, but the fat man also had a lame leg, and his left leg looked thinner than his right.

"Father, you were impeached by that mad dog Wei Zheng today?"

Hearing Yan Song's footsteps entering the door, Yan Shifan, the fat one-eyed man, asked without raising his head.

"There is such a thing, Lord Xiang, but Yan Xiang is not only fine, but was given a money cloth by His Majesty, and got a clear name!" Yan Maoqing replied with a smile on the side.

However, then his voice changed again, and he said helplessly, "It's just that Wei Zheng's tiger beard, which has repeatedly come up to tease Yan Xiang, made him retreat this time. Yan Xiang is too kind."

Yan Song didn't speak, sat back at the table and took a sip from an ordinary white porcelain teacup on the table.

Yan Shifan sneered, and shook his fan a few times: "Jing Qing, you think too much, how can it be so easy to deal with Wei Zheng?"

Jingqing is Yan Maoqing's character.

"During the court meeting a few days ago, he provoked all the people in the court and retreated unscathed, let alone today."

Yan Maoqing said helplessly: "Young Master, didn't Tang Guogong and Yan Xiang help Wei Zheng out of the siege that time?"

"This time he impeached Yan Xianghe and Sir, the military officers can't participate, and Yan Xiang will naturally not help Wei Zheng again, when the time comes..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Shifan became a little impatient. He waved his hand: "If my father doesn't help him, is there no one else to help him? Are you treating He Shen and Qin Hui as a show?"

"Besides, even if no one speaks for Wei Zheng, His Majesty will insist on not punishing him!"

"This..." Yan Maoqing's expression froze.

But Yan Shifan didn't pause, he continued, waving his fan, "Jing Qing, if you were the emperor, and there was such a person in the court, all civil and military officials in the court didn't like him, and if you wanted to get rid of him quickly, would you deal with him?"

Yan Maoqing only thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "How is it possible..."

Isn't this kind of minister the emperor's favorite?
Going against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty means that he will not have any possibility of forming a party for personal gain. It is too late for the emperor to protect him, so how can he deal with him?

"The bad thing is that you were too anxious that day!"

Yan Shifan slumped on the large rosewood chair, folded his fan with a snap, pointed at Yan Maoqing and said, "If you want to deal with Wei Zheng, take your time and do it in private, there are many tricks!"

"But as soon as he was impeached that day, you all jumped out impatiently. Even if the emperor is a fool, he can't see anything wrong!"

"You don't really think him a fool, do you?"

Yan Shifan's words were not polite at all, as if he was reprimanding his subordinates, but Yan Maoqing didn't show the slightest bit of anger on his face, just listened with a wry smile.

On the other side, Yan Song couldn't listen anymore, he put down the teacup and coughed heavily: "East Building."

Yan Shifan opened his mouth, with a hint of displeasure on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Yan Song sighed, and turned his head to face Yan Maoqing's wry smile: "Jing Qing, I didn't say it before, because I thought you could figure it out."

"The previous emperor didn't like government affairs, so you had little experience in dealing with the emperor. It's not your fault. But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and you say such things again, I feel that I must tell you."

Yan Maoqing's face immediately turned a bit solemn, and he lowered his head and said, "I will listen carefully to Prime Minister Yan's lesson."

Yan Song stared at him, and slowly said in a hoarse voice: "No matter at any time, don't go against His Majesty."

"Ah?" Yan Maoqing raised his head in shock, his eyes widened.

Yan Song was not surprised by his reaction, he leaned forward and repeated the words: "No matter at any time, don't go against His Majesty."

Yan Maoqing opened his mouth, with countless questions in his mind.But he still bowed his head deeply, cupped his hands and said: "Strict Prime Minister taught, I will remember it in my heart."

Yan Shifan stood up, with playfulness in his one-eyed eyes, he wheezed and waved his fan: "Jing Qing, it seems that you are still not convinced. But think about it, even if you can achieve what you think today, can Wei Zheng be dismissed from office? "

"Take a step back, Qin Hui, Cai Jing, and even He Shen don't speak up for him, so who can handle Wei Zheng?"

"He is not a petty official, he is a first-rank imperial envoy doctor! The rank is the same as my father, the left minister! If the emperor strongly opposes it, who can dismiss a first-rank official?"

Yan Maoqing was startled.

Yan Shifan continued: "You want to dismiss Wei Zheng, but the emperor refuses to agree. In this way, the court will inevitably fall into a stalemate."

"If someone supports you, the emperor will not lose because of it. But if someone with a very powerful voice supports the emperor, you will definitely lose in a mess!!"

"You think military officers won't participate, but have you forgotten that Tang Guogong Li Yuan is not only a military officer, but also a member of the royal family?"

"If you bully the emperor with power, he will have a reason to stand up! At that time, the internal strife among civil servants will become civil servants bullying the emperor with power. Guess whether those military officials are willing to step in and step on you ?”

"This……"

Yan Maoqing stuttered while speaking, her forehead was dripping with sweat.

If the military officers and the emperor's buttocks sit together, then these civil servants will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Yan Song also sighed helplessly: "Jing Qing, the mistake you made was that you regarded Your Majesty as a minister with the same status as me. Seeing that he has no power in his hands, you didn't pay much attention to Your Majesty."

"But you have to know that even if your majesty has no power, he is still your majesty, the most special person in the court. You can make anyone hate you, but you can't make your majesty hate you."

"Since His Majesty has a good impression of Wei Zheng, we can't target Wei Zheng, otherwise we will arouse His Majesty's disgust. At the court meeting today, I offered not to pursue Wei Zheng's responsibility, which is precisely why."

Yan Maoqing wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "Yes, Prime Minister Yan has deep meaning in every action, I have been educated."

"Okay, when you see Hanzhang, just tell him what my father said." Yan Shifan sat back on the chair sprawled again, shaking his fan loudly.

Hanzhang is a character in Luo Longwen.

"Yes, Young Master, I will definitely tell Mr. Luo and your colleagues as soon as possible." Yan Maoqing immediately agreed.

But as soon as they finished speaking, they heard footsteps coming from the courtyard outside.

Yan Nian, the chief steward of the Yan Mansion, came to the door, bowed his head and said: "My lord, Mr. Luo is here."

"Speaking of Hanzhang, Hanzhang is here." Yan Song chuckled lightly: "Please invite him in."

"Yes." Yan Nian replied, and then the door of the study was opened, and Luo Longwen, dressed in a red official uniform, walked in from the door, with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Yan Xiang, I have seen Yan Xiang, my young master."

"Well, Hanzhang, come and sit down, let's drink tea!" Yan Song waved his hand, and his face changed into a smile again.

"Thank you Yan Xiang."

Luo Longwen sat down at the table and said without even touching the tea: "Yan Xiang, just now I went to the palace with my lord to consecrate, and when I came out, I was still sitting on my shoulders!"
