Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 40

Lu Fang had no choice but to shout again: "Don't close it, come here and tie the veil tightly."

The two eunuchs on duty held the door and couldn't let go, so they could only shout to the outside of the hall against the sound of the wind: "Come here, two people!"

Immediately, two eunuchs staggered in outside the palace gate, and were blown by the strong wind like flying in.

The two eunuchs grabbed the veil one by one and knelt on the ground. Lu Fang freed her hand and ran a few feet in front of Jiajing to shield him from the wind.

Jiajing: "Don't block me."

Lu Fang could only slowly move towards Jiajing, watching him nervously.

The wind was too strong, Jiajing closed his eyes: "In front of the sky, Yan Shifan, you have to answer truthfully."

Yan Shifan knelt there with his back to the wind, opened his eyes wide in panic, and replied loudly: "The emperor is the sky, and I didn't say a single lie."

Strange to say, after Yan Shifan said this, the wind gradually died down, but the sky gradually darkened, it was going to rain.

Jiajing waved his hand slightly.Lu Fang immediately looked at the two eunuchs who were still kneeling and grabbing the veil: "It's none of your business here, call the two people next to the door to go out."

"Yes." The two eunuchs tied up the veil, got up quickly, and retreated.He retreated to the door and greeted the two eunuchs and exited the palace door together.At this moment, there was a burst of lightning, and soon, a muffled thunder rolled over from the distance in the sky.

Jiajing: "Yan Shifan, did you hear the thunder?"

Yan Shifan raised his head high: "The sky is above, the emperor is above, if the minister dares to deceive the emperor, Tianlei will kill the minister immediately!"

Immediately afterwards there was another flash of lightning, followed by an explosion of thunder, which hit the ground, as if it exploded outside the gate of the temple!

The torrential rain followed the thunder, and Jiajing looked through the door in the middle of the abode, looking at the sky-like rain curtain outside the main window on the north wall: "God has entrusted Kyushu and Wanfang to me, and I am The Son of Heaven is the father of the people. Now I am taking the money to buy the land of the people at a low price. If I am such a son of heaven, the heavens will hate me! If I am such a father of the people, all the people will abandon me!"

Yan Shifan's big face was already pale, but it immediately became paler after hearing Jiajing's words.

Yan Song knelt there and gathered his strength, and said sharply, "Yan Shifan, answer!"

Yan Shifan: "Damn me. If someone in Zhejiang uses the brand of the Weaving Bureau to buy the fields of the victims, I will investigate thoroughly immediately."

Lu Fang: "Is there still a need to investigate? Zhejiang went to buy fields under the brand of the Weaving Bureau, and Yang Jinshui had not returned to Hangzhou. When the grain ship left Hangzhou, Zheng Bichang and He Maocai were at the dock. These two people did not report to the cabinet?"

Yan Shifan: "The cabinet has not received the report. If this matter is really the work of Zheng Michang and He Mao, I ask you to execute the two of them in Zhejiang immediately, and I am willing to accept the crime together."

"Good answer. Back to this point, I can't deny it. But I approve you, but the people in the world don't approve of me." Jiajing's eyes swept from Yan Shifan's face to Yan Song again, "I will make the cabinet I handed it all over to you, and you have left such a big deficit! In order to make up for your deficit, I also agreed with you to change rice into mulberry. If you want to put all the deficit on my head now, my position Just let you sit down!"

What is "Ban Jun Ru Hu"?Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son really felt it from their internal organs.Yan Song immediately took off the gauze cap from his head, and Yan Shifan also took off the gauze cap on his head and put them on the ground.

Yan Song raised his head, already crying: "Thousands of mistakes, all are the fault of the minister, and it is the fault of Yan Shifan. As long as the holy name can be clarified, the minister and Yan Shifan will ask the emperor to punish them now."

Jiajing: "Things have come to this point, do you want to put down your gauze hat?"

The torrential rain rang out outside the hall, but there was a deathly silence inside the hall, and the four of them were silent there.

Jiajing slowly looked at Lu Fang: "Let's trust him again for now, and let Yan Shifan investigate the matter. You three are the only ones to listen to what I said today, so don't spread it."

Lu Fang: "Your servant understands."

Yan Song and Yan Shifan were startled when they heard the words, raised their heads and looked at Jiajing tearfully.

Jiajing looked at them: "The cabinet is still in your hands, so what should you do?"

Yan Song and Yan Shifan kowtowed their heads almost at the same time: "Thank you, sir."

The two of them picked up the gauze hat from the ground and put it on again. Yan Shifan stood up quickly, but Yan Song couldn't stand up for a while with his hands on the ground.

Jiajing looked at Yan Shifan: "Help your father up."

"Yes." Yan Shifan walked up to Yan Song a few steps and helped him.

Yan Shifan supported Yan Song's figure and disappeared outside the gate of the jingshe. Jiajing looked at the rain curtain facing the north window of the passage of the jingshe gate. In the overwhelming rain.

"Have those Jinyiwei people arrived in Zhejiang?" Jiajing suddenly asked Lu Fang again.

Lu Fang quickly walked behind him and said softly, "Master, they left last night."

"Send a few more able ones!" Jiajing was in a very gloomy mood.

Lu Fang: "Yes."

If it was a sunny day, Yan Song's two patriarchs would stop at the stone steps of the main hall of Yuxi Palace as usual. Today, when the heavy rain came, the two eunuchs on duty had already carried their patriarchs to the eaves outside the main hall of Yuxi Palace to wait quietly. Come out with Yan Song.

In the Ming Dynasty, the prince or the old and sick minister had a special order to enjoy the Forbidden City by two people.The so-called two-person lift is just a special chair, the back and sides are sealed with a whole piece of wood, only the front is empty for people to sit on, and it is allowed to add a cover on it in rainy and snowy days, and add a curtain in front. A bamboo pole passes through both sides of the chair and is carried by two people either by hand or on the shoulders.In the 21st year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing moved into Xiyuan, and the Forbidden City Appreciation and Carriage Double Carriage became Xiyuan Shangcheng Double Carriage.

Yan Song served as the first assistant, and he has been enjoying this position from seventy to eighty.Looking at the sky and knowing that it will rain today, the eunuch on duty has already added a cover to the lift, and a curtain before lifting the lift.

Yan Shifan was not qualified to take the car, and another eunuch on duty had already prepared a huge umbrella for him and stood beside the car.

Yan Shifan helped his father and almost walked over from the aisle outside the door of the Vihara to the door of the main hall.It was only five zhang away from the door of the Jingshe along the passage to the door of the main hall. Today, Yan Song, who was supported by Yan Shifan, seemed to have walked for 20 years.In the past 20 years in charge of the cabinet, many winds and rains have gone away.Can the heavy rain today be covered by the curtain and the umbrella covering the side of the car?Yan Song's heart was as dark and gloomy as the weather.

The threshold of the high gate of Yuxi Palace is just under your feet, Yan Shifan tried to push his father over with both hands, but Yan Song stopped at this moment, pushed his hand away, lifted his robe, and slowly stepped forward with one leg In the past, the other leg slowly stepped over.

Yan Shifan had just been enraged by the thunder, and at this time he was hit by his father's cold frost again. He was also discouraged for a while, and simply stood inside the palace gate, watching him stepping out of the threshold.

The eunuch on duty who carried the house did not dare to neglect, one immediately raised the sedan chair pole after lifting the house so that the front chair pole touched the ground so that Yan Songhao could step over the front chair pole, and the other immediately opened the lifter's curtain Hou Yansong sits in and lifts the public opinion.

At this moment, Yan Song didn't even look at the passenger, and at such a young age, he went straight from the stone steps of the main hall to the rain curtain all over the sky!
Several eunuchs were dumbfounded.

At this moment, Yan Shifan could no longer be angry, and immediately crossed the threshold of the main hall, took the umbrella from the eunuch, opened it quickly, and chased after him, covering his father's head with the umbrella.

Yan Song went down the steps and stopped again, not looking at his son behind him, but only at the white rain curtain: "Take the umbrella away."

"Father!" Yan Shifan yelled almost generously, "You have always shielded the emperor from the wind and rain, but my son has been shielding you from the wind and rain all the time! If you want to kill or kill me, I will be alone, if you don't get involved."

Then Yan Song slowly turned his head to look at his son, his face was dripping with water, whether it was rain or tears: "Yan Shifan, let me tell you. There is only one person in the Ming Dynasty who can call the wind and rain, and that is the emperor! Only one person can Shelter from the wind and rain, that’s me, not you! You and the people you use don’t have anyone to shelter me from the wind and rain, they’re all provoking the wind and rain! I’ve been sheltering the wind and rain the emperor called for for 20 years, and no one can do the wind and rain you provoked. Cover for you. A "21 History" only exterminates nine clans, only my Ming Dynasty can exterminate ten clans! Throw away that umbrella in your hand, it can't save you, and it can't save my Yan family either." Said Wan alone let the heavy rain hit his head, face and body, and continued to walk forward with difficulty.

In front of Yan Shifan's eyes, there was only a white curtain of water, and then he let go of his hand, and the umbrella immediately rolled away in the wind and rain, and he himself was hit by the rainstorm, and followed the looming figure of his father.
