Chapter 257: The Art of Weighing Up
Emperor Jianheng looked at Yan Weizhang, who was trembling in front of him, his face was a little gray, but he was forced to support himself, how pitiful he was. After all, he has done a lot of things for him, and he still has to give the sweetness he deserves, so that he can really feel at ease.
"Six plays, Yan Houzhao has made great achievements over the years, I also feel that it is indeed a material that can be made, people say that the father and son soldiers will go into battle, pass on my will, let Yan Houzhao from now on, also enter the cabinet, your father and son are of the same heart, and the cabinet has Gu Zhengde, Tan Wuzhen, I can also have a good year. ”
Yan Weizhang, who was originally reprimanded by entering the hall and despaired, saw that his son had no hope of entering the cabinet, and was full of defeat, suddenly heard the news and did not react, when he looked up and saw the emperor's serious and relieved expression, he was grateful to Dade and kowtowed: "The minister bows to thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”
Seeing Yan Weizhang walking out slowly, Emperor Jianheng turned the rosary in his hand quite meaningfully, and then raised the sleeve of the wide robe in his left hand, looking at the gorgeous and delicate embroidery on it, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he said a sentence that seemed ordinary, but full of deep meaning.
"Now I have all these new clothes, old clothes, and I have no shortage of clothes this year. ”
……
When he came out this time, Yan Houzhao looked at his old father from afar, and immediately ran up with anticipation, carefully held on, and then glanced around, and said in a low voice: "How is my father, how does Your Majesty deal with Gu Zhengde's matter this time?"
Listening to Yan Houzhao's questions one after another, Yan Weizhang didn't have the slightest intention of answering, looking at the old man beside him who hurriedly walked out and was silent, Yan Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it again, he obviously summoned him to go, but he failed to face the saint, what happened?
Seeing that he walked out of the Qianqing Palace and came to the silent and unmanned Yongdao, Yan Houzhao, who was full of thoughts about entering the pavilion, finally couldn't wait: "Father, what is going on, you have something to say." ”
As soon as he came out of Emperor Jianheng's method of beating and pulling, Yan Weizhang only felt that he was like being in the middle of the two heavens of ice and fire, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"That's it!"
Yan Weizhang raised his hand and shook off Yan Houzhao's hand, which shocked Yan Houzhao, but what his father said next still made him feel relieved and overjoyed.
"Your Majesty has granted you permission to enter the Cabinet. ”
Seeing the joy in the corners of his son's eyes, Yan Weizhang said coldly: "It's just that before you, Tan Wuzhen will also enter the cabinet, and in order, you are still in the cabinet after Tan Wuzhen." ”
Because during the dialogue between the monarchs and ministers of Fang Cai, Emperor Jianheng clearly proposed Tan Wuzhen first and asked him to propose Tan Wuzhen's matter, and the emperor allowed the six-part concert to invite Yan Houzhao into the cabinet.
Even in this short period of time, the seniority of the two is very different.
As soon as the words fell, Yan Houzhao could hardly believe his ears, how could the person who had just been kicked out come back at such a fast speed? And Shengsheng took his position, kicking him to the last position?
"Why—"
"It is for my father's sake to ask His Majesty. ”
As soon as Yan Weizhang's words came out, Yan Houzhao almost felt that his father was joking with him. Father knocked on Tan Wuzhen, who was driven away, to invite him back to the cabinet and pressed him down?
Seeing his son's unbelievable appearance, Yan Weizhang paused in the middle, and said in frustration and helplessness: "Do you know that as soon as his father went today, His Majesty took out Xie Yun's impeachment of Wu Jiang, Wu Jiang eradicated dissidents and forced out official anger, the evidence is conclusive, there is no way to deny it, if the father is not like this, how can this matter be settled, does it make everyone in the world suspect his father and His Majesty?"
Yan Houzhao's face changed when he heard this, and then he remembered something and said: "It's okay for others, why Tan Wuzhen, my father knows that he is Zhang-"
"That's what Your Majesty meant!"
Yan Weizhang was already bored, but he was worried about his surroundings and lowered his voice a lot.
When he heard this, Yan Houzhao instantly understood something and stopped asking.
Worried that there were many people in the palace, the father and son walked down silently again, and the sound of snowflakes whistling did not stop until the end of the road, and Yan Houzhao, who had been tightly frowning, suddenly pondered something in his eyes, and gradually eased up.
Feeling that his hand was being pulled, Yan Weizhang turned his head over, but saw Yan Houzhao, who had been silent, suddenly crossed a clear smile, and then said softly: "My son understands, our Yan family has become a sharp weapon in the hands of His Majesty, the reason why His Majesty uses Tan Wuzhen is because Tan Wuzhen has the ability to control water, it seems that His Majesty is dissatisfied with Wu Jiang this time, but he let his son enter the cabinet, it can be seen that His Majesty is also quite satisfied with our contribution this time." ”
Yan Weizhang, who heard this, frowned slightly, couldn't help but pause, and quietly listened to this son's words.
"Father, this is a good thing, as long as our Yan family does a good job of this sharp weapon for Your Majesty, and solves all the things that your Majesty wants to solve but can't solve in person, if this continues, Your Majesty is bound to be inseparable from us, once we can't do without, who can easily replace and shake it?"
In the end, Yan Houzhao couldn't hide his deep meaning and said: "Father, you should be happy." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yan Weizhang's originally worried eyes gradually cleared up, and he gradually became happy.
He didn't even think of it!
Indeed, even if you are the Son of Heaven, there are too many ancestral rules and shackles of Shengming, as long as their Yan family can help Your Majesty achieve your wishes and become Your Majesty's pleaser, people like Gu Zhengde and Tan Wuzhen are all self-proclaimed upright, they are unwilling to do it, they Yan family can do it, just like this time to clear Zhang Huaizong's party, as long as His Majesty needs it, their Yan family will not give up.
In this way, Your Majesty will be as stable as Mount Tai in one day, and when His Royal Highness the Ninth takes the throne, what opponents does their Yan family have?
Okay, okay.
Almost instantly clearing the haze, Yan Weizhang excitedly squeezed Yan Houzhao's hand, although he didn't say anything, he was in the middle of wanting to speak.
He really gave birth to a good son.
In the blink of an eye, the father and son changed their depression and defeat, and once again straightened their backs and walked out of the palace.
It's a pity that Yan Houzhao only saw one layer of the cabinet with Tan Wuzhen, and did not see the other layer.
Tan Wuzhen is indeed a capable minister of water control, but he is also a student of Zhang Huaizong.
Now in the cabinet, Yan Weizhang, as the first assistant, suppressed Gu Zhengde's first assistant, Tan Wuzhen, who was the third in the ranks, but also suppressed Yan Houzhao, who was the eldest.
Yan Weizhang and Yan Houzhao are father and son, and Gu Zhengde and Tan Wuzhen are like-minded friends.
When you think about it, this is not another kind of checks and balances.
