I, Jiajing, Emperor Longevity

Chapter 61

Yan Song has controlled the government for more than 80 years. He is over [-] years old, and his family members are in full bloom.

The outsider didn't know that this power was obtained early in the dark, and it took a lifetime of trembling to get it. He felt at ease.

360 days a year, Yan Song must get up early for at least [-] days, rush to the Xiyuan cabinet at the beginning of Chenshi, and wait for Jiajing's summons at any time. up.

There are so many memorials and remonstrances to reprimand Yan Song, but according to statistics, eight characters are used the most: "Blocking the way of speech, not separating the monarch and his ministers!" refers to this phenomenon.

Because of Yan Song's early court, it became the rule of Yan's mansion to get up early.

Maoshi in winter is the time when the rooster raised in the mansion crows three times.

Hearing the rooster crowing everywhere, more than 80 people, as in the past, came out of the living room with carved python robes and were supported by two maidservants. Pulled away.

Yan Song was helped slowly to the side of the big sedan chair. The porter who was on duty that day rushed in from the courtyard gate, went straight to Yan Song, and knelt down on one knee: "Mr. Ge, Eunuch Lu is here!"

Yan Song was already a little deaf, but since he practiced the Quanzhen method, he felt that he had a second spring, and immediately opened his ears: "What are you talking about? Which Lu Gonggong is here?"

The concierge replied immediately: "Master Ge, it's Lu Fang, Eunuch Lu."

"Open the middle door and welcome in!" Yan Song ordered immediately without having time to think about it.

Lu Fang had already appeared in the gate of the courtyard. He, who had already completed the Sunflower Collection, looked more and more feminine. He was smiling, and behind him was an eunuch holding a jar of 40-year-old flower carvings.

Xu Jie also arrived not long after, and it was Lu Fang who sent someone to call when he left Xiyuan.

All the attendants were dispatched, Yan Song was seated at the square table in the dining room next to the large living room, Lu Fang was seated at the top, and Xu Jie was at the bottom.

In fact, Yan Song had already used his breakfast, but Lu Fang and Xu Jie still came with an empty stomach.

Fortunately, there are cooks on duty [-] hours a day in Xiangfu's kitchen, and they are ready to cook anytime, whether it is a formal meal or a casual snack.

In a blink of an eye, the table was filled with delicate hot and cold dishes with four meat and four vegetables. The small steamer with three overlapping drawers was steaming. From the first drawer, you could see six small steamed buns with different shapes and colors:
The white ones are fine noodles, the black ones are fine buckwheat, the yellow ones are glutinous millet, fine grains and coarse grains, meat and vegetarian stuffing, and omnivorous food, which shows that this kindness of old people can preserve health.

In front of each person is a pair of ivory chopsticks, a blue-glazed wine cup from an official kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, and a blue-glazed dish from an official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just last night, none of the three of them expected to have breakfast together here at this time.

At this moment, all three of them knew that this breakfast was like six steamed buns in a drawer, and no one knew whether it was meat or vegetarian until they bit through it.

The jar of 40-year-old wine brought by Lu Fang was placed in front of his table, and there was no attendant, so he just stood up by himself and picked up the jar.

Xu Jie stood up immediately, and Yan Song held onto the edge of the table as if he was about to stand up.

"Mr. Yan Ge, please sit down."

Lu Fang stopped Yan Song, but Xu Jie stood opposite him, holding the jar of wine: "This jar of wine is stored in the first year of Jiajing, the emperor became the emperor in that year, and our family began to follow the emperor in that year. , 42 years in the blink of an eye.”

After finishing speaking, he poured a full glass for Yan Song, but only half a glass for Xu Jie, and then only half a glass for himself, and put down the wine jar.

As the saying goes, the wine is full of tea, and some serious opening remarks have already made the ears of the two elders at the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty hall prick up.

Such unreasonable pouring of wine made the two of them even more heartbroken.

At the same time, he secretly wondered if he had made any big mistakes recently.

Both Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang: "The emperor's past forty years have not been easy, Yan Ge's past twenty years have not been easy, and Xu Ge's entry into the cabinet was late, it has been ten years, it is not easy. As for our family, a servant of the emperor That's all, that's not enough. Although the three of us have different positions, what we drink is the emperor's wine. Whether it is bitter or sweet, sweet or astringent, we don't know if we talk about it. Mr. Xu Ge."

Xu Jie still stood there: "Eunuch Lu, please enlighten me."

Lu Fang: "Our family poured a full glass for Mr. Yan Ge, half a glass for myself, and only half a glass for yours. Do you mind?"

Xu Jie: "Yan Ge is always the first assistant, and he always bears the burden of the court. It is too much for me to drink half a cup with me. But the burden of the palace is all on Lu Gonggong's shoulders. It shouldn't be too much. Pour half a glass."

Lu Fang just wanted to tease him, and after he finished speaking, he picked up his half glass of wine and put it down in front of Xu Jie across the table: "Old Xu Ge said that, our family even drank half a glass I have no qualifications. This half cup is a toast to you. Two and a half cups add up to one cup. Elder Xu Ge and Elder Yan Ge are also tied."

No matter how deep Xu Jie was, he was shocked at this moment: "Eunuch Lu's words are hard for me to accept. If there is any fault of Xu, and what is the emperor's will, please declare it, Eunuch Lu."

After saying that, he left the seat, lifted his robe and was about to kneel down.

"No price!" Lu Fang practiced the Sunflower Collection, and her agility was far superior to theirs who practiced the whole-hearted method. She walked around the table in one step and grabbed Xu Jie before he knelt down: "Our family will say clearly Yes, I came to the emperor this morning and didn't know."

Xu Jie half-bent, turned from startled to stunned, and looked up at Lu Fang.

Suspicion also appeared in Yan Song's eyes, and he looked at Lu Fang across the table.

"Please sit down, sit down and talk."

Lv Fang helped Xu Jie, put Xu Jie on the chair, walked back to the chair without sitting down, and took out the falsified manuscript of "Journey to the West" from her sleeve: "Here is something that is The southeast sent it to the palace in an expedited eight hundred miles last night, but I didn’t dare to submit it to the emperor, please take turns to read it first, and then talk about it.”

As he spoke, he handed the first half of the novel to Yan Song, and the second half to Xu Jie.

The two immediately became serious, took the manuscript with both hands, and then each took out their own reading glasses from their sleeves, and looked at it solemnly.

I don't know how long it took, but the two pairs of presbyopia finally finished the novel.

Yan Song slightly raised his head and looked up and down in a daze, while Xu Jie lowered his head slightly and stared at the two and a half glasses of wine on the table in a daze.

"Let's play." Yan Song withdrew his gaze, and instead of looking at Xu Jie, he only looked at Lu Fang: "Some people are so courageous, they should be executed everywhere!"

Lu Fang turned her gaze to Xu Jie: "Mr. Xu Ge, did you hear what Mr. Yan Ge said?"

Xu Jie slowly raised his head, which was very heavy: "If a literary prison is set off, the southeast will be in chaos! The matter of opening the sea is a major event for Ming Dynasty, and it is also a major event for the emperor, so there should be no trouble."

Lu Fang clapped his hands: "That's a good point! Opening the sea is really important, Mr. Xu Ge, the emperor has read this, if I tell you to go and investigate thoroughly, can you find anything?"

Xu Jie shook his head: "Without evidence, no one can thoroughly investigate. At most, let Wu Chengen take the blame."

Lu Fang: "That's the same sentence. What kind of crime is a year-old student who failed the rankings? If you want to take the blame, you must have enough people to take the blame. Otherwise, how can you stop this evil spirit? The emperor will not let it go."

Yan Song: "..."

Xu Jie: "..."

He didn't answer either, only feeling a chill down his back.

You said, okay, what are you writing indiscriminately!Hasn't Grandpa killed enough?

"Confucianism is the leader of Confucianism, and Confucianism respects the Zhu family... It's cool in the sky, it's time to break the family."

"It is not too much to slander the Holy Majesty and punish the three clans."

Yan Song's attitude was so firm, Lu Fang was naturally satisfied.

Xu Jie had a bitter face: "The Ministry of Punishment will cooperate with Jin Yiwei to search the Second Mansion. It is absolutely impossible to let the rebellious people go unpunished."

Needless to say, Lu Fang stretched out her hand and poured her half glass of wine in front of Xu Jie into Xu Jie's half glass, and Xu Jie's half glass became a full glass.

Lu Fang was facing the direction of Yuxi Palace, and he seemed to feel that the emperor was looking at him: "Speaking of which, our family also expresses our heart. Yan Ge has been drinking a glass of wine for decades, and that is the emperor. This glass of wine. It’s more difficult for Xu Ge, who wants to drink both the emperor’s wine and the officials’ wine, two glasses of wine are not good. Let’s drink the emperor’s wine together. Both elders should drink.”

Xu Jie's embarrassment was hard to describe, his eyes were on the glass of wine in front of him, but he didn't know how to handle it.

Yan Song had half-closed his eyes at this moment, apparently waiting for Xu Jie to pick up the wine glass.

Lu Fang: "Did you two elders think that our glass is empty, so you don't want to drink this glass of wine?"

The two remained silent there.

Lu Fang: "The two court elders are people with great fortunes and five blessings. Our family has no family, and many godsons are fake. The two elders are not for their own wealth, but for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. Don't you want to drink this glass of wine?"

Xu Jie slowly picked up the wine glass with both hands, and raised it towards Yan Song.

Yan Song also raised his wine glass, facing Xu Jie.

Lu Fang's eyes were fixed, and both of them drank their glasses full of wine.

At the same time, Lu Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the mission of the Long Live Lord.

With these words and deeds, Lu Fang used her tactics to the extreme, even politicians of Yan Song and Xu Jie's level can only be led by the nose.

From now on, everyone is drinking the emperor's wine, and don't hook up with Confucianism or Confucianism. Of course, there is no need to hook up.

In the Ming Dynasty, there can only be one sky, and that is the emperor!The sages Confucius and Zhu sages also have to give way.
