Peerless Xuantian Record

Chapter 198
"What? Are you going to Fujian?" Yan Shifan asked curiously when he heard that Tang Junfeng was leaving.

Tang Junfeng said: "My lord, Junfeng must attend to some private matters, please forgive me."

Yan Shifan turned his eyes slightly and said: "Junfeng, my father and Xia Yan are in conflict now, and they are employing people, how can you leave so easily?"

Tang Junfeng clasped his fists and knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, my lord."

Yan Shifan narrowed his one eye slightly and said: "Since this matter is so important to you, then you should go, go and return early."

"Thank you, sir..." Tang Junfeng knelt down and thanked, then got up and left.

Let's not talk about Tang Junfeng going to Fujian, let's say that Yan and his son have been holding grudges ever since they were caught by Xia Yan.But the opportunity was still waiting for him. Two years ago, the minister of the Ministry of War Zeng Mian proposed to Shizong to recover the Hetao area occupied by Mongolia, and Xia Yan strongly agreed with Zeng Mian.Yan Song took advantage of this to make a big fuss, and he took the opportunity to attack Xia Yan and Zeng Mi in front of Shizong, claiming that they used their power for their own sake, which is a great achievement.The two sides were at a stalemate in front of Shizong. At this time, the harem caught fire and the queen died accidentally, which made Shizong, who was already in a state of disarray, even more disturbed.Yan Song secretly recruited another group of ministers in the court, forming a faction headed by him, openly confronting Xia Yan.

When the two factions were at a stalemate, the Mongolian army unexpectedly raided Yan'an, Ningxia and other places, and the government and the public were shocked. The two factions centered on Xia Yan and Yan Song also fell into a stalemate on the issue of whether to fight or not. I can't think of a better way to deal with Xia Yan, and I have been thinking of a good way to deal with Xia Yan these days.

After Tang Junfeng left, Yan Shifan came to Yan Song's study, and seeing his father frowning in thought, he asked, "Father, what bothered you so much?"

Yan Song sighed: "Alas...for my father, I am thinking hard about a good strategy to deal with Xia Yan."

Yan Shifan said with a sly smile, "How difficult is it to bring down Xia Yan?"

Yan Song said happily: "Do you have a way?"

Yan Shifan said: "To deal with Xia Yan, having someone is the key."

Yan Song asked doubtfully, "Zeng Mi?"

"That's right, removing Zeng Mi is like cutting off Xia Yan's left and right arm." Yan Shifan said.

Yan Song was puzzled, "But removing Zeng Mian will not deal a fatal blow to Xia Yan."

Yan Shifan smiled and said: "Father, Xia Yan has always supported Zeng Mian. If you find a way to get the emperor to punish Zeng Mian, what do you think you would think of Xia Yan if you were the emperor?"

Yan Song hesitated and said, "If I were the emperor, I wouldn't use this person again."

Yan Shifan said with a smile: "Hehe, you know more about father's affairs than I do, and I just have some opinions about it."

Yan Song narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Hehe, Shifan, you can see more clearly than Dad."

Yan Shifan said humbly: "Father, don't say that, as the saying goes, those who are in the dark are confused by the authorities, and those who are on the sidelines are clear."

"Haha...that's fine." Yan Song raised his head and smiled, and then said fiercely: "Xia Yan, this time I want you to never turn over again."

On the second day, above the court
Sejong sat on the dragon chair, resting his forehead with one hand, and said listlessly: "Do you have something important to announce?"

Zeng Mian stepped forward and said: "Long live the report, I hope that the matter of the Mongolian army's invasion will be decided as soon as possible."

"Presumptuous..." Yan Song said loudly from the side: "Bold Zeng, are you forcing the emperor? This is a crime of disrespect."

Zeng Mi clasped her fists and said, "Zeng Mi didn't dare, Zeng Mi was just worried that things would change later."

Yan Song scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense, this matter is all because of you."

Xia Yan said from the side: "Master Yan, don't spout blood."

Seeing these people quarreling again, Shizong couldn't help frowning and said, "How long can you let Zhen An live?"

Zeng Mi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Sejong Longyan said angrily: "Bold Zeng, do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"
