To be honest, Xia Yan is a little crazy and arrogant, but there are no big flaws in other aspects.

He is honest and honest, diligent, and never uses power for personal gain, which can be described as a model among officials, and it stands to reason that such an official should be deeply respected by others, but because he is too arrogant and arrogant, he has inadvertently offended many people, thus making himself isolated in the officialdom.

For example, his attitude towards Yan Song is quite inappropriate, Yan Song has indeed been supported by him, but he is not a dog he raised, and he is also a member of the court and has his own face, but he has been calling people to drink, can people feel comfortable?

At this time, Yan Song is also a cabinet scholar, and he is still a scholar, and he came to ask to see him, so you are pretending, get up and greet you, and give people a little face.

However, Xia Yan just sat there with a grin, without saying anything at all.

Do you think you're great when you become the head of the cabinet?

Yan Song secretly cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be humble, carefully walked into Xia Yan's duty room, and respectfully bowed his hand: "Xiaguan see Lord Shoufu." ”

This guy is quite capable of pretending, no matter who he looks polite in front of anyone, humble and polite, people who don't know still think he is a humble gentleman.

Xia Yan snorted coldly in his heart, and then said unceremoniously: "Why is Lord Yan here?" ”

In the past, when the two of them didn't turn their faces, he still called people "Weizhong" to show their closeness, but now everyone has turned their faces, and he is even more unkind when he speaks.

Yan Songqiang held back the anger in his heart, and pretended to be cautious and said, "Lord Shoufu seems to have a little misunderstanding of Xiaguan." ”

Xia Yan said with a little disdain: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? ”

Yan Song still said cautiously: "The lower official doesn't know that Lord Shoufu has any misunderstanding, but I feel that Lord Shoufu is not as close to Lord Xiaguan as before, as if he treats Lord Xiaguan as an outsider." ”

Still close to you?

I'm still close to you, and you're going to ride on Lao Tzu's head!

Xia Yan said with a slight mockery: "Lord Yan, you are powerful, and you can't afford to climb high." ”

Yan Song hurriedly said humbly: "The adults laughed, the ability of the lower officials today is the result of the cultivation of adults." ”

Do you know that I am the result of my cultivation?

Xia Yan snorted coldly: "Don't dare to be, who doesn't know that your Lord Yan's henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, so why do you need this official to cultivate." ”

Yan Song hurriedly smiled and said: "My lord is joking again, Xia Guan is just taking care of the following people on behalf of the adult, where are these Xia Guan's henchmen, everyone gathers together because of their admiration for adults." ”

The acting official is in charge of the following people?

Who are you fooling!

Xia Yan sneered: "You are in charge of the people below on behalf of the official, so the people below only listen to you, not the official, right?" ”

This guy has a deep grudge.

Yan Song said embarrassedly: "The adult misunderstood that this is the original, please let the lower official explain, okay?" ”

And explain, I want to see how shameless you are.

Xia Yan said disdainfully: "Oh, you still want to explain, then you can explain it and listen to it." ”

When Yan Song heard this, his face turned straight, and he said solemnly: "My lord, you should also know that corruption is rampant in the court now, and there are really not many officials who are like adults, and everyone has made this or that mistake because of the desire for profit, so they are all a little afraid of adults, and the lower officials can only pull down their faces and join them in the same stream, so as to win people's hearts." ”

In this way, are you corrupt or for me?

Xia Yan said in disgust: "If corruption is rampant, you should use heavy codes to stifle it, you are good, and you are in the same stream, is this your way of being an official?" ”

Yan Song said helplessly: "My lord, the so-called law does not blame the public, and the court is like this, what can I do?" Won't you and I be alone? ”

This one.

Xia Yan was a little speechless, and what Yan Song said seemed to make sense, because he felt that he was almost a loner at this moment.

Forget it, this can't be said, so let's talk about something else.

He thought about it, and then said with a little annoyance: "What you said is good, take care of these people on my behalf, I think you want to set up your own door, right?" ”

Yan Song pretended to be aggrieved and wondered: "My lord, where do you start with this?" ”

Where to start?

Xia Yan thought about it carefully, and then said slightly angrily: "Where to start?" Okay, let's talk about Zhu Kun, you obviously know that Zhu Kun was promoted by me, why do you have to oppose him everywhere, causing him to commit suicide in shame and indignation, and making me lose face. ”

Yan Song pretended to be innocent and said: "This, my lord, you don't seem to have told the lower officials that Zhu Kun is your own person, right?" At the beginning, Zhu Kun's ascension to the throne seemed to be mentioned by the emperor in the early dynasty, and the lower officials thought that the emperor signaled you to do this. Moreover, the maritime giants have cooperated with us for many years, and of course I am helping the maritime giants. ”

This!

When Xia Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't tell Yan Song that Zhu Kun was his own person, and it wasn't a day or two for the maritime giants to cooperate with them, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with Yan Song helping the maritime giants.

Is there really some misunderstanding here?

He thought about it for a while, and simply said in general terms: "I won't talk about Zhu Kun's affairs, what about other things, don't you know what you have done during this time?" Every time I need help, not only do you not say anything, but even the people below are silent, everyone is as if I don't exist, is this what you call taking care of the people below on my behalf? ”

Yan Song thought for a while, and then explained: "This, I'm afraid my lord misunderstood, didn't the last Datong Governor Liu Tianhe and Tu Qiao come forward to support the adult, although the final result was unsatisfactory, that is also the emperor's intention, the lower officials did their best, right?" ”

What about Liu Tianhe, the governor of Datong?

Xia Yan thought about it carefully and finally remembered.

At that time, Yan Song and Tu Qiao did come forward to support him, but Jiajing was obviously "favored" to Yangming, and in the end they were still deflated.

Did you really misunderstand Yan Song?

He was a little confused and said, "What about other things, how do you explain other things?" ”

Hehe, it looks like it's pretty much there.

Yan Song couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Alas, my lord, the lower official knows that there are some things that the adult doesn't like to hear, so he has never dared to mention it in front of the adult, but since the adult asked so today, the lower official has the courage to say a few words." My lord, you should know the emperor's temper very well, sometimes we still have to worry about the emperor's thoughts, if the emperor doesn't want to do something, even if more people come forward, there is no way to change it. ”

Is that the case?

Xia Yan subconsciously retorted: "The emperor also has to focus on the society of the country, right, how can we let the emperor come by temperament?" ”

You're looking for death!

Yan Song didn't bother to remind Xia Yan that it was better for this guy to die.

However, before you die, you still have to make good use of it.

He thought for a while, and then said vaguely: "Well, what the lord said is right, but sometimes we can't force the emperor to be anxious, right, so the lower officials have not come forward a few times, and I hope that the lord Haihan." ”

This seems to make some sense, did you really misunderstand him?

When Xia Yan heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
