Idle courtiers

Chapter 305 One condition is missing

Xu Jie: "What is this?"

Zhou Nan: "Returning to Prime Minister En, this is Li Wei, the father of Concubine Li of Prince Yu's Mansion, and Li Gao, the elder brother, who have come forward to report the strict party's private collection of military pay. This matter is small and small, but it is a conspiracy."

Xu and Zou took a breath, and immediately understood that Zhou Nan had found out the direction of Yan Song's funds to support the front line in Fujian, and got the evidence.

They hurriedly lowered their heads to take a closer look.

After a while, Zou Yinglong showed ecstasy: "Teacher, this is ironclad evidence. The students will immediately write a bulletin to impeach Yan's father and son."

The happy look on Xu Jie's face flashed away, and he fell into thought.

Zou Yinglong: "Teacher, if a great opportunity is fleeting, you must seize it."

Xu Jie: "Yunqing, let me think about it as a teacher."

Zou Yinglong: "Teacher, why should we think twice about this?"

Zhou Nan also said: "Benevolence, if you don't take what God gives, you will be blamed. Make up your mind!"

Xu Jie thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid sending a letter based on this report is not enough to make a strict decision. There is still one condition."

Seeing the old man hesitate, Zou Yinglong felt very anxious: "May I ask what more conditions my teacher needs?"

Xu Jie said slowly: "As Zimu said just now, the strict party privately raises military salaries. This matter is small or small, but it is a conspiracy. Whether it is big or small depends entirely on the discretion of the emperor. After all, for Fujian It is a good thing to benefit the country and the people to provide military salaries on the front line. You probably don’t understand His Majesty’s thoughts. He is an impatient person and he is very attached to money. The reason why Yan Song’s family is not degraded is that That's because he has superb financial management skills. This time, Yan Fenyi can raise military salaries for the frontline without spending a penny from the country. Even if His Majesty knows about it, he will probably be Longyan Dayue, how can he punish Yan Shoufu?"

"This..." Zou Yinglong was stunned.

Zhou Nan also frowned. Indeed, Jiajing will be the referee in the end. It all depends on the emperor's free testimony, which is really difficult.In this matter, the Yan Party showed a strong fund-raising ability, and this is what the emperor valued most about Yan Song: "I also ask Enxiang for advice."

Xu Jie: "This letter can only explain where Mr. Yan Ge's money was spent, and where it came from. Find out where the money came from, so I can make a fuss about it."

Zhou Nan couldn't help but nodded, the truth is indeed the truth.The chain of evidence is not complete based on the whistleblowing letter from the Li family and his son alone, and the case cannot be settled.

As for the matter of finding out where the money came from, it is natural that old Xu Ge's disciples and old officials will bother, and it has nothing to do with him, Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Nan's mission has ended at this moment, and the next thing is to wait.

But how long will this have to wait, Ah Jiu's wedding is approaching, and the master's life is hanging by a thread, so I can't afford to wait!

Then, add another fire!Zhou Nan thought to himself.

Zhou Nan: "Master En, you can start to deal with Yan now. After Renshou Palace was flooded, Mr. Yan Ge has gradually lost his trust with His Majesty. Your Majesty heard that Lan Daoxing, Lan Xianzhang, traveled to the capital. As a famous moral person, your benefactor might as well come in front of you."

Hearing this, Xu Jie turned his head and stared at Zhou Nan, his eyes were so bright that he could see through him: "Zimu's plan is great! Yun Qing, after you go down, think about how to write the excerpt, and once the time is right, go to this impeachment of Yan Song's chaotic politics immediately. illegal."

Yes, this method is really wonderful, why didn't my old man think of this?

Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, and especially in his later years, he fanatically pursued longevity.In addition to meditating and practicing Qi in Xiyuan every day, I eat the so-called elixir by the handful.The so-called, there is great terror between life and death.

Taoist practice, pay attention to the four elements of wealth and law.

Dharma: It is the teaching method, the method.If you don't know the law, you will practice blindly.

Companion: Fellow practitioners, fellow Taoists; "Book of Rites" says: "Learning alone without friends, one must be ignorant and ignorant."
Wealth: There are certain financial conditions; because in the initial stage of Taoism, one must devote one's mind and time to practice to the greatest extent, and accordingly there is no more time to cure one's life.It is difficult to cultivate the Tao without a certain material foundation.Just look at the monks and lay people.The ancients said: No wealth is not enough to cultivate the Tao.

Place: a place for cultivating Taoism, a dojo.Feng Shui is different in different environments.

Money, the emperor is not short of money.

The land, is it the land of the king in the whole world.

For the emperor, Taoism and fellow Taoists who supported Tongxiu were the most important.Therefore, from the early years of Jiajing, the emperor kept asking local officials to recommend people of great virtue to enter the palace.

There was Shao Yuanjie, the founder of Longhu Mountain, and Chen Shandao, his disciple.

Nowadays, Jiajingxiu's desire for longevity is becoming more and more urgent, but it is a pity that there is no suitable expert to accompany him, so it is a good time to recommend Lan Daoxing into the palace.

Lan Daoxing is a great master of Taoism. Some people say that he is the closest to a god since Sanfeng Taoist.

This person has noble moral character, is familiar with Taoist classics, and is a scholar-type practitioner.

In order to attract believers, other Taoists like to use quack tricks to deceive people.This Taoist Lan didn't, he only talked about metaphysical reasoning with people, convincing them with knowledge.

Because of this, he is very famous in the upper class, and now he is the leader of Taoism.

The most wonderful thing is that this person is deeply influenced by Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind.After coming to Beijing, he often participated in the lectures organized by Xu Jie, and he had a very good personal relationship with Xu Ge, the nominal "Head of Xinxue".

Xu Jie naturally knew that Lan Daoxing was dissatisfied with Yan Song.

Emperor Jiajing believed in the words of the alchemists and Taoists around him. If Lan Daoxing could be placed next to him, it would naturally have a profound impact on the emperor, and it would also play a huge role in the future.

With such an important figure coming out, things will be easy to handle.

How did Zhou Nan come up with such a good idea? He is just a small passer-by, how could he know the emperor's mind and character like the back of his hand? This person is a useful talent!

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zou Yinglong was overjoyed: "Yes, teacher, the students will go down and write. Zimu's plan is very good, I admire, admire!" He has always thought that Zhou Nan is a villain, and he is quite disdainful in his heart.

Looking at it today, Zhou Zimu is really talented, I can't match it!

He bowed deeply to Zhou Nan: "Zimu, I have offended you a lot in the past, so please don't take it to heart."

Zhou Nan hastily replied: "We are both from the Xu family, so you and I should work together for Enxiang." He naturally squeezed into the Xu family's team.

Zou Yinglong nodded: "It should."

Xu Jie: "Yunqing, besides, find out where the Yan Party raised the money as soon as possible, so that we can do our best."

Zou Yinglong: "Yes, the students know."

Seeing that Xu Jie had made up his mind, Zhou Nan heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Master Ge, do you see the arrangement of the subordinates?"

It's also time to ask Lao Xu for a reward. I'm a seventh-rank court official, here I come.

Xu Jie couldn't help but smile in his heart, this Zhou Nan is really keen on official position and fame!In fact, there are not many gentlemen like Yunqing and villains like Yan's father and son in this world, but there are many ordinary people like Zhou Zimu who are full of fireworks.

He was born in poverty and suffered so much, so it is understandable for him to have such a temperament.

He waved his sleeves: "Go down, the old man has learned from his own experience."

This allows Zhou Nan not to worry, even if he takes office.

Zhou Nan was overjoyed and thanked again.

But Zou Yinglong said: "Teacher, wait a minute, Zimu must not become an official in the General Administration Department."
