Chapter 185: Deliberations
Only separated by a screen, Yan Hanyu sat on the chair behind him and heard clearly.
Serving as the secretary of the military department?
The book of the military department!
In the previous Qi Dynasty, the king of Qi rebelled, wasn't it because of his close relationship with Lu Yingda, the secretary of the military department, that he plotted to usurp the throne?
What was Lu Yingda's final end? All the official titles appointed by Master Lu, as well as the gifts of the three generations of ancestors and the official titles of his wife, were all cut and destroyed. The whole family was exiled to Yazhou together, and they were sent by stagecoaches to various places, even if there was an amnesty, it was not among the pardons.
The emperor can't tolerate his grandfather, or can't he tolerate the entire Yan family?
The situation in the DPRK and China is changeable, and now Lu Yingda, as the prime minister and an important minister in the DPRK, was demoted to the secretary of the military department at the end of this year, and then it was what happened in the second year of Yongxi, and he was reprimanded again, the official title was cut, and the whole family of Yongxi was exiled for three years.
Did Lu Yingda really conspire with King Qi to rebel? Or was there something else going on?
Their Yan family is the direct descendant of the Yan family of Langya Linyi, and the first emperor favored his grandfather, not only because his grandfather was brilliant, but also because of the loyalty of several generations of Yan family, their Yan family is the direct clan of Langya Yan, which has been passed down.
Thinking about it before and after, Yan Hanyu only felt that all this was a bureau, a bureau for the emperor to check and balance the court.
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Yan Hanyu's mind, she was thinking, if her grandfather did the post of secretary of the military department, the situation was greatly changed, and her grandfather had real power, would this be a different situation? Will the fate of relatives be reversed?
It's just that if the emperor really wants to deal with their Yan family, will the Yan family be able to bear the later ending?
"Why didn't grandfather die and come back to life?"
How can you know the consequences if you don't give it a try? Although the ending may be tragic, it is better than the death of relatives one by one.
It was the doorman of the Yan family who was discussing with Master Taifu, and when he heard the clear and soft voice behind the screen, he turned his head to look, but saw a girl with deep eyes standing next to the wooden screen carved from yellow rosewood.
It was too difficult for the doorman not to pay attention to her eyes, those eyes were too eye-catching, and if you only looked at her face, she was just a younger, more beautiful sister-in-law, but her eyes were as deep as a valley, and she didn't look like a daughter raised in the boudoir.
"It's Hanyu here. Master Yan didn't show any dissatisfaction with her sudden appearance.
"Grandfather. ”
The eldest daughter born with jade, named Hanyu.
The guest knew his identity, stood up and waved his hand repeatedly, "Miss." ”
"Sir is courteous. "The doormen who can sit in my grandfather's study are all people trusted by my grandfather, Yan Hanyu naturally can't lose the courtesy, and the etiquette of returning the gift is comprehensive.
Hanyu overheard that his grandfather was discussing matters here, and heard that the emperor intended to let his grandfather serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War. Yan Hanyu continued, "The saint is cautious and does not lose time at every turn. Hanyu thinks that her grandfather should not miss this opportunity. ”
"And what is the sentence of living in the place of death?"
Hearing her grandfather ask her, Yan Hanyu sighed secretly and said loudly, "Grandfather is the minister trusted by the first emperor, and the first emperor has long gone, this is the new emperor's country, changing the lord of the world is changing the entire court, washing the old and replacing the new, this is what every emperor will do." Since the emperor ascended the throne, his grandfather was gradually removed from the governor's position as a political governor, moved to the post of Taifu, and held a first-class position, and had no real power for many years. Now the emperor is unusual, giving his grandfather the opportunity to serve as the secretary of the military department, but there is a danger of falling into the dust. What my grandfather thought in his heart was nothing more than for the family to be cautious, but in the final analysis, if the emperor really wanted to suppress our Yan family, there would definitely be a follow-up move. If my grandfather is too cautious and does not dare to let go of it, this will give the emperor a chance. Therefore, Han Yucai said that he was born in the place of death. ”
Yan Maohua sat in the top position and was silent.
After hearing these words, the doorman said with emotion, "The eldest lady is very courageous, and she is really a woman." ”
Yan Maohua groaned, "You go back first, and then discuss this matter." But his eyes were on the guest.
"Yes. The doorman stood.
"Sir, please wait. Yan Hanyu stepped forward, "What Hanyu said today is really because of his grandfather, he can't bear to see his grandfather worry about the family, Hanyu is willing to share his worries for his grandfather, but I said that after all, I am a lady in the house, and I can't walk in front of people, and I hope that Mr. will forget what I said today when he goes out of this door." ”
"Yes, yes, don't worry, the villain will not mention it when he comes out of this door. The doorman replied again and again.
When the guest left, only Yan Maohua and Yan Hanyu were left in the study, seeing his grandfather squinting and pondering, Yan Hanyu stood aside and did not speak.
"What have you done in Suzhou in the past three years besides studying medicine?" Yan Maohua suddenly opened his eyes and asked her.
"Suzhou is too far away from Bianjing, it is really a quiet place, and Hanyu can't do anything else except read books. ”
"What books did you read?"
"Medical books, I also read history books and military books. ”
"What do you mean by the phrase "just put it to death and live after?"
"Those who cannot be defeated will defend, and those who can be victorious will attack. The rules are insufficient, but the offense is more than enough. Those who are good are hidden under the nine earths, and those who are good at attacking are moving above the nine heavens. Therefore, it can protect itself and win all. Yan Hanyu said this, paused, and continued, "However, the relationship between my grandfather and the emperor is that of a king and a minister, and you can't be an enemy." But from the perspective of the monarch and ministers, the emperor wants to change to the old ministers of the court and re-use his henchmen, but his grandfather has made no mistakes since he became an official, and the emperor can't find out what is wrong. My grandfather had always insisted on self-preservation, which was the right thing, but it was not a long-term solution. Hanyu said very simply, but listened to his grandfather's teachings. ”
"Hanyu, what you said is correct. Yan Maohua stood up, put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "The affairs of the court are changing rapidly, and it is enough for you to say this." It's just that you still want to get to this point?" After all, Master Yan is a scheming man, and his granddaughter came to him twice in three days, not just to recuperate his body.
"The third uncle and grandfather separated from us, the second uncle is mediocre, the third uncle is deep, and the fourth uncle is uninhibited, no one in this family can help grandfather, Hanyu is willing to be that person and help grandfather. Hanyu still doesn't understand many things, and hopes that his grandfather can teach him more. ”
Grandfather promised her to enter his study at any time last time, apparently because he didn't want her to stand outside and get cold, but in fact, he still obeyed her wishes and allowed her to listen to politics. Today, her grandfather asked her face to face, and Hanyu naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to show her heart.
"I'll come later, sit in the back and don't come out, I'll ask you what you think afterwards. ”
Yan Hanyu smiled and said suddenly, "I almost forgot my grandfather's medicinal diet, grandfather, wait a minute, I will ask someone to warm up my grandfather's medicinal diet and bring it to my grandfather." ”
Yan Maohua looked at her series of movements, smiled and shook her head, after all, she is still a little girl! )
