Yang Cong is leading the army to fight Altan Khan between Tongzhou and Jizhou, and some people in the capital are not idle.

For example, Yan Song, he was fighting Qiu Luan's idea.

Of course, he didn't want to kill Qiu Luan, with Qiu Luan's crime, he didn't have to die without him, what he looked at was the silver that Qiu Luan had obtained through corruption over the years.

Qiu Luan's greed is famous, even he is a little ashamed, this guy has been greedy in the northwest for so many years, not to mention too much, there must be a million taels of silver.

If he doesn't find a way to get this money, it will definitely be confiscated by the imperial court in the end, which would be a pity.

Some people, like this, have a little money, they want more money, have more money, and want more, there will never be an end, even if they can't spend it in this life, or even in several lifetimes, they still feel that it is not enough.

There are many such people, Yan Song is one of them, this guy is greedy for money, it is said that more than 10 million taels!

What is the concept of 10 million taels, calculated according to every 2600 yuan, that is 6 billion!

This money may not be exaggerated in the future generations, and there are many people with assets of more than six billion in the later generations.

However, it is exaggerated at this time, because there is no exaggerated consumption in later generations.

For example, luxury cars, luxury houses, private jets and so on, at every turn, it is millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, six billions, and it seems that it is not impossible to spend them all.

It's different these years, houses or something, most of them are dozens of taels, and you can build a very good mansion for a few hundred taels, as for luxury cars, private jets or something, that's a thing that doesn't look at all, as for luxury consumption, most of them are antique calligraphy and paintings, or luxury furniture or something, and these things, spend a few thousand taels to buy a piece People will think that you have a problem with your brain, and it doesn't make sense to buy more, so it doesn't cost much.

In other words, in these years, a few hundred thousand taels is almost enough, basically, it can't be spent in a lifetime, but Yan Song is greedy for a few million taels is not enough, and he has to be desperately greedy, and he doesn't know what he thinks in his head.

Perhaps, this problem can be understood by many people who think that they will never have enough money, but it is difficult for ordinary people to figure it out, so I will not delve into it here.

In other words, even if Yan Song is eyeing Qiu Luan's money, how can Qiu Luan give it to him, even if the two don't have a grudge, Qiu Luan is also a dying person, and even his family will be connected, this money is meaningless to give Yan Song, why should Qiu Luan do more?

Of course Yan Song has a way, because he can save the life of Qiu Luan's family, and even, if the time comes, he can even save Qiu Luan's life!

Taking money to buy life, this is the most familiar business of Qiu Luan, he sends money and food to the Tartars, doesn't it mean that he is taking money to sell his life, Yan Song believes that such people who are afraid of death, as long as they have the hope of living, money or something, will definitely be obediently offered.

Sure enough, after he used the cronies he had secretly cultivated to spread the news to the edict, Qiu Luan immediately couldn't wait to give a reply.

If Yan Song can save his family's life, then he will give Yan Song half of the income from corruption, and promise that it will never be less than 500,000 taels.

If Yan Song can save his life, then he will give Yan Song more than ninety percent of the income from corruption, and guarantee that it will never be less than one million taels.

Of course, there are prerequisites for these things, the premise is that the emperor does not order to copy his house, if the emperor copies his house, then Yan Song will not get any benefit even if he helps.

Of course, Yan Song will not help Qiu Luan in vain, so how can he protect Qiu Luan and his family, and even protect his corrupt income?

It takes a timing, a just right timing.

And Yan Song believes that Yang Cong will definitely create this opportunity for him.

Sure enough, only a few days after Yang Cong took office, good news came from Tongzhou, and the Tartars fell into his plan to divide his troops to lure the enemy, and threw himself into the net, but as a result, he was defeated and fled.

The Ming armies on the east and west sides won a complete victory, capturing more than 20,000 Tartar heads, capturing more than 10,000 Tartar cavalry, and countless other war horses and leather armor.

This Yang Cong is really amazing!

When Yan Song received the news, he couldn't be happier.

Because what he was waiting for was this opportunity, as long as Yang Cong won a big victory on the front line, he would be able to take the opportunity to exonerate Hou Qiuluan of Xianning!

As for whether Yang Cong will rise up and suppress him because of this, he is not very worried, this time is different from the past, at this time, he is already the first assistant of the cabinet, and it is not so easy for Yang Cong to pull him down and replace him.

After he received the battle report, he ran to the Qianqing Palace and reported the good news to Jiajing.

When Jiajing heard that Yan Song asked to see him, he was really a little curious, because he was cultivating at this time.

Yan Song, but he is very discerning, when he is cultivating, Yan Song will not bother at all, only when he finishes cultivating, Yan Song will wait for him to appear in a suitable place.

This time, why did this guy come to disturb his cultivation?

Of course, he could vaguely guess that something big should have happened on the front line in Tongzhou, otherwise, Yan Song would definitely not be in such a hurry to ask for a meeting.

Although he had been a little prepared in his heart, he never thought that as soon as he ordered someone to pass on Yan Song's visit, Yan Song ran in and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news, good news, Lord Yang led the army to break the Tartar cavalry, and the siege of Jizhou has been lifted, and the Tartars are fleeing north in a panic at this time." ”

Yes!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Really?

It's only been a few days, and Yang Cong defeated the Tartar and fled, is it possible?

He thought that it would take a long time for Yang Cong to take over the military power and train the army, but when he suddenly heard the news of Yang Cong's victory, he really couldn't react.

This surprise is too big, isn't it?

He was stunned for a while, and then took the fold in Yan Song's hand and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, just as Yan Song said, the Tartar had been defeated by Yang Cong and fled.

All right!

It's just great!

Jiajing was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but Yan Song suddenly asked seriously: "Your Majesty, since the siege of Jizhou has been lifted, shouldn't the matter of Xianning Hou Qiuluan be dealt with?" ”

This chaotic thief almost forgot about him!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, it's time to clean up this soul, if Qingfeng hadn't said that he would block the news, I would have wanted to behead him a long time ago." ”

Perhaps because of the great victory at the front, there was no anger on his face when he said this.

Yan Song glanced at him secretly, and then pretended to be embarrassed: "This, the emperor, after killing Zhongliang in vain, I'm afraid it's not big, right?" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Weizhong, what do you mean by this, shouldn't such rebellious ministers and thieves who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country be killed?" ”

Yan Song hurriedly explained: "Qiu Luan should be killed, but his ancestor Qiu Yue has made a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty, and now that Qiu Yue's bones are not cold, is it a bit too much for us to slaughter his descendants?" ”

This one!

When Jiajing heard this, his face couldn't help but stagnate.

Xianning Marquis Qiu Yue is indeed an outstanding meritor, otherwise he would not have become a hereditary marquis from an ordinary mercenary.

The Xianning Marquis is also quite loyal to him, when he first ascended the throne, he won the support of the Xianning Marquis Qiu Yue, and at that time he also wanted the Xianning Marquis Qiu Yue to supervise the 3,000 battalions, but unfortunately, Qiu Yue died of illness before he took office.

Is it really a bit too much for this Qiu Yue to slaughter his descendants before his bones are cold?

Thinking of Qiu Yue, he really couldn't do this.

He pondered for a while, and then sighed: "Although Qiu Luan's crime is unforgivable, his ancestor Qiu Yue does contribute to the Ming Dynasty, so he will take away his title and let him return to his hometown to retire." ”
