Chapter 1725 - Bear the Burden?
On the edge of the Xishi Execution Ground, a two-story restaurant has an excellent view.
Not only do the people of the capital like to be lively, but so do these idle scholars.
Although the triennial Dabi has come to an end, and many lost people have left the capital, the number of scholars who stay in the capital is still immeasurable.
From the lobby on the second floor, you can see the situation on the street, Yan Shifan and Luo Wenlong are like rats crossing the street, and you can clearly hear the voices of the people below insulting Yan Shifan.
"What a scenery Yan Shifan was back then, I didn't expect it to fall into such a field!" A short and thin man by the window looked at the scene below, but he sighed with emotion.
As soon as the words fell, an obese gentleman who was also standing in front of the window immediately responded: "This is all Yan Shifan's own fault!" The father and son of the Yan family have done a lot of evil, Yan Shifan is poor and extravagant, and today is retribution! β
"Brother Tai Gao Zhi, Yan Shifan is subdued today, and he should be a big white!" The short and thin gentleman seemed to have met a bosom friend, and even gave a bow.
The obese scholar is like a high-ranking person, but he threw out an argument and said: "This matter can be done, Yan Shifan's great treachery and greed can be subdued, thanks to Xu Ge Laoye!" β
"What do you mean by that?" The short and thin scholar suddenly became interested, and asked with a sincere face.
The voices of these two people were not small, and the group of scholars next to them were also interested, but they looked at the obese scholar who seemed to be unfathomable.
The fat scholar met everyone's gaze and said in a low voice: "Three years ago, Elder Xu Ge pushed the official to impeach Yan Song's father and son, and finally succeeded him!" Everyone in the world says that Xu Ge is always fighting for power, but they don't know that Xu Ge Lao and Yan Song's father and son have already had a deep blood feud! β
When the scholars heard this fresh argument, they were also attracted for the first time, and they seemed to be more concerned about such a movement, especially Yan Shifan's prisoner car had already passed downstairs.
The short and thin scholar hurriedly asked, "Brother Tai, what are you talking about?" β
"Those outside say that Xu Ge is greedy for power, so he took action to bring down Yan Song, these are all foolish men and fools, people with no knowledge!" The obese scholar came to a solemn conclusion.
No matter what the scholars thought in their hearts, they naturally wouldn't be in the company of fools and fools at this time, but they shook their heads again and again.
"Do you still remember Xia Yan and Xia Gong's caution?" The obese gentleman threw out a question.
The scholars nodded again and again, although they didn't get to see each other, but many people knew that this was the former former first assistant, and the first first to be cut off by the imperial court since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
"Xia Yan has the grace of Xu Ge Lao, although Xu Ge Lao Xu Jie, although he did not go to pay tribute back then, he secretly set up an immortal card in his own home, and there are still worships to this day, but he never dares to forget this love for a moment!" The fat man's eyes were dazzled, and he said with admiration.
When the scholars heard that there was still this private past, they finally understood that the fat scholar said that Xu Jie and the Yan family had a deep blood feud, and the origin of the daring affair was Xia Yan.
When the short and thin scholar heard this, he immediately sighed and said: "Elder Xu Ge is so grateful to the people who carried him in the past, this is the style of virtuous appearance!" β
"Not bad! But it doesn't stop there, do you remember Yangjiao Mountain ten years ago? The fat man nodded slightly, then asked another question.
Yangjiao Mountain?
When the scholars heard this name, they already felt a sense of strangeness, but the short and thin scholar responded: "This person is my tough guy and loyal minister!" Yang Jiaoshan is our Beizhili person, he offended Yan Song in "Please Punish the Thief and the Minister", was imprisoned in the edict to endure many criminal laws, and was tortured in prison for three years, and finally was beheaded with Zhang Jing and others, how dare we forget? β
When the scholars heard this, they nodded their heads again and again to show that they knew this man.
"Yes, but you also know that Yang Jisheng is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Xu Ge Lao in the Guozi Prison!" The fat gentleman nodded with satisfaction, and threw out another truth.
When the scholars heard this, they seemed to have some understanding, and the short and thin scholars immediately came to a conclusion: "In this way, Xu Ge Lao and the Yan family have a deep enmity in the sea of blood!" β
"Not bad! Xu Ge Lao and the Yan family have a deep enmity in the sea of blood, but they can't be forgotten for a moment! It's just that Yan Song's father and son deceived the saint and said evil words to the saint, so that the emperor only believed Yan Song's words, but he couldn't listen to half of the persuasion of others! Even though Elder Xu Ge hated the evil deeds of Yan's father and son, he was helpless! The fat man said sadly.
When the short and thin scholar heard this, he also said with emotion: "Even though the elder Xu Ge has the intention to get rid of the thief, the Yan family and his son have already bewitched the saint, and they are even more in control of the power of the court, I am afraid that they can only wait for the opportunity!" β
The scholars listened to the analysis of the short and thin scholars, and nodded gently.
"Not bad! Elder Xu Ge was humble to Yan Song, endured humiliation, and finally waited for the opportunity three years ago, so that he was able to bring down Yan Song! The fat man was full of tears, and he seemed to be open-minded and open-minded.
The scholars combed through the pulse of the matter, and they had already seen Xu Jie's figure of enduring humiliation, but in order to bring down Yan Song, he had always been subservient to the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
The fat scholar didn't wait for others to ask, and asked sadly and angrily: "It's just that Elder Xu Ge is not trying to seize power, he wants to pay tribute to Xia Gongjin and the spirits of Yang Jiao Mountain in the sky!" Yan Shifan was greedy for so much gold and silver treasures in the past, and he prostituted himself every day in Jiangxi, and even domestic slaves could have hundreds of millions of family assets, how could Xu Ge still tolerate him? β
"Damn it!"
The scholars thought that Yan Shifan was so greedy, but he still prostituted himself every day, and they gritted their teeth with jealousy and hatred.
The fat scholar exchanged glances with the short and thin scholar, and concluded to the scholars with satisfaction: "In the past, there was Gou Jian who had been lying on salary for ten years and tasted courage, but now Xu Huating endured humiliation and burdened the burden to eliminate traitors for the country!" β
It's just that at this time, a discordant voice sounded: "If I'm not mistaken, Xu Jie and Yan Fu are in-laws!" β
"In order to win the trust of Yan Song's father and son, Xu Ge Lao ...... The next step that came up with this was also ......" The obese man was at the end, and he suddenly choked up.
The short and thin man immediately stopped it, and responded with tears in his eyes: "Don't say it again, my tears are flowing out, Xu Ge Lao is really a true national scholar!" β
Suddenly, Xu Jie's image was infinitely raised.
Xu Jie is no longer a politician competing for power, but a loyal minister who chose to endure humiliation and burden in the position of the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years in order to help the Ming Dynasty get rid of the corrupt official Yan Song, and even did not hesitate to marry Yan Song.
All of this is not for personal gain, but through more than ten years of forbearance, the goal of eliminating traitors for the country was finally achieved, and Yan Shifan, who committed a heinous crime, was guillotined.
"Huh...... In this way, Xu Ge Lao also followed the Yan family's father and son to make the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable, and everything that the Ming Dynasty did for ten years was instructed by Yan Song's father and son? β
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly spoke.
The scholars were looking for prestige, but they saw a polite young man standing at the top of the stairs, his eyes shining with disdain.
