A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 2 Seizing Power
In the game, he is the chess player, and no one will disobey one of his options, but this is no longer a game, here are real people who have their own ideas and act accordingly.

Therefore, Yan Ling must take back the power and control it in his own hands. It is impossible for a divided family to go through the following troubled times and survive the ups and downs of more than 200 years.

"Okay, okay..." Yan Zhen's chest bulged and contracted, and he was obviously very angry: "Look, this kid is promising. He dares to scold me and wants to cover up his rebellion!"

"Do you want our Yan family to be implicated by the court because of your actions?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Yan family in the room had expressions of confusion. If the court really knew about this matter, they would definitely not be able to afford it. The crime of conspiracy and treason was not a joke.Suddenly, everyone present looked at Yan Ling unkindly.

Yan Zhen saw that he had put the other party at a great disadvantage with just one word, and couldn't help but feel proud. He raised his head and glanced sideways at Yan Ling, thinking that he could fight with your old uncle, but you are still far behind!
"I would like to ask Fourth Uncle, what benefits can we get from handing these people over to the government?" Yan Ling asked calmly.

Yan Zhen replied without thinking: "Of course it's the official title and money..." After saying a few words, he suddenly opened his mouth and said nothing.

Yes, what are the benefits of reporting these people to the official?
Rewards for official positions?There was no need to think about it. It was not like he had caught the leader of the thief. How could he be demoted? As for the money, not to mention the money. In Yin County for so many years, only the officials ate it, but I had never seen them vomit.

However, he had been influenced by the Confucianism of the imperial court for hundreds of years. As soon as he heard about the rebellion, he wanted to hand him over to the government. At this time, he changed his mind from a practical point of view. The Yuan Dynasty was so corrupt, what benefits could be given to them?

Yan Ling, however, remained calm and raised his hand to scold Fang Qiu:
"Do you still remember that in the fourth year of Zhizheng, the Yellow River burst its banks and countless people in Shandong and Hebei were displaced? There was a severe epidemic and drought along the Huaihe River, and bones were exposed in the wild."

"In the fifth year of the Zhengzheng Period, the imperial court sent Xuanfu officials to help the poor and purge officials. However, the Xuanfu officials colluded with local corrupt officials and oppressed the people together. There is a folk song from time to time: 'When the envoys come, the heaven and earth are shaken, and when the envoys leave, the sky is dark. In the dark world, the officials are happy, but the people are crying."

"In six years, forty thieves robbed [-] river boats, but the officers and soldiers were unable to arrest them!"

"In seven years, there were 36 bandits and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Jiqing Huashan Mountain. They could not attack, but they were defeated. Only by relying on others to succeed! Even the powerful 'Asu Army' did not listen to the commander Hei. The sound of Hedu's battle was heard, and he immediately ran away when he encountered the enemy, without the will to fight."

"There are natural and man-made disasters, and the army has no fighting capacity. Isn't this a sign of the country's subjugation? I don't think the world of Yuan Dynasty will be peaceful for a few more days!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Yan Zhen pointed at him: "You, you..." but couldn't say a word.

Yan Ling didn't care, so what if the words were spread?In the late Yuan Dynasty, the corruption and greed of officials had reached unimaginable levels. There was nothing that couldn't be solved with money!
If nothing else, just talk about the servants in the courtyard. You must know that in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the Baojia system was implemented, and the supervision of the Han people was extremely strict. However, by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty even relied on the local aristocratic families to resist the rebels. The attack shows how turbulent the Yuan Dynasty's rule has become!
"At this time, we have to make friends with heroes and righteous people in order to establish a foundation in troubled times, and we are also working hard for Yuanting. Do you want to overthrow this building together?"

"As for the implication... If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who knows? Or will everyone here report it to the official???" Yan Zhen was stunned and was speechless. He really didn't think about it in this regard. , and would not think that he is just a country squire, but he does not have the habit of looking at the general trend of the world.

As for reporting to the official, there was no need to mention that although I and others had some disagreements, no matter what, it was a family matter behind closed doors. If such a thing was brought out, wouldn't it be a bitter hatred between relatives, and it would be a betrayal of the clan, and would be punished. Disdainful.

He turned to look at his brother, Yan Ling's third uncle, wanting to ask for his help. However, the other party was also stunned and didn't know how to reply. The rest of the people present were already in shock. They had never thought about it in that aspect, but when they heard what he said, it was so reasonable and well-founded, as if troubled times were just around the corner, and people couldn't help but believe it.

Yan Ling saw that everyone present had been shocked by his words. This was the time to add fuel to the fire. He pointed at the servants holding sticks and shouted:
"Don't let anyone go!"

Several servants had been stunned by what he said, but now they were a little timid when he shouted at them like this. In addition, the other party was the head of the family, so they all started to think about quitting.However, they were the confidants of San Fang and Quan Fang, so they still subconsciously looked at the two clan elders.

Yan Ling took a step across and stood in front of them. His eyes widened with anger. He pulled out a protective dagger from his waist with a swipe, put it on their necks, and shouted angrily:
"Do you still recognize me as the head of the family? I say, let the person go!"

The blade of the sword was close to the neck of the servant leader, and a slight amount of blood was already oozing out. The servant's arms were fighting, but he dared not to obey. He quickly ordered several subordinates to untie Fang Guozhen and others.

Yan Zhen and the third uncle looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, but they didn't say anything more. Although they were shocked by those words, they were also unwilling to give up their power like this.

However, the family is ruled by a patriarchal system. Even they cannot blatantly order their tribesmen to disobey orders on such occasions. You must know that their own source of power is the patriarchal system. Yan Ling is the eldest son of the eldest family. Will the tribesmen obey his orders? any errors.

If Yan Ling had a cowardly temperament, they could still rely on their own authority to intimidate and coerce, and then slowly take the power into their own hands, but now it seems that this person also has a strategy and is not a good person.

They knew that after today's incident, the master's authority would be greatly increased, but they didn't know whether the master was really talented or just talking.

Knowing that they had lost for a while, the two of them looked at each other and their thoughts were already connected. They should help each other closely next, but they didn't expect that just after they finished breathing, they heard a voice from beside them:
"What the head of the family said is very true. I admire you very much. The second room has always been in charge of the family's finances. I am old and feel that I am unable to do what I want. I will resign today and ask the head of the family to choose another wise man."

"Second brother, you-" The two of them raised their heads in shock.
