Just when Yang Cong was fighting fiercely with Ji Nang in Xuanfu Town, a change of power was quietly underway in the capital, and Li Shi, the first assistant to the cabinet, was unable to manage the government due to serious illness, and had already asked Jiajing to resign, and the power of the cabinet officially fell into the hands of Xia Yan.

Xia Yan became even more invincible after becoming the first assistant of the cabinet, he was about to show his ambitions and do something big, but Yan Song had already secretly recruited henchmen and was ready to work with him.

At this time, Xianning Marquis Qiu Luan was also trying to find someone to say good things in front of Jiajing, so that he could make a fortune by virtue of his so-called military exploits.

At this time, it was Xia Yan's party in power in the DPRK and China, and it was naturally best to ask someone to find a relationship to lobby Jiajing to find Xia Yan's party for help, but Xia Yan was famous for his clean sleeves and good face, and it seemed difficult to invite him, so Xianning Hou Qiuluan could only retreat and go to Yan Song for help.

Coincidentally, Qiu Xiong, the son of Qiu Luan, Marquis of Xianning, and Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, happened to be studying in Guozijian, so Qiu Luan handed over the responsibility of bribing Yan Song to his son Qiu Xiong.

Qiu Xiong is a typical second ancestor, he studied in Guozijian purely to mix a good background, and to be an official in the future, you must know that although the title is hereditary, the official position is not hereditary, many princes and nobles are playing in the mud at home, and even some princes and nobles can't get an official and a half position even if they inherit the title, so they can only sit at home and eat nothing.

Qiu Luan also tried his best to cultivate this bastard son, at the beginning, he wanted Qiu Xiong to practice martial arts, after all, his family is behind the general, as long as he is successful in martial arts, there is no problem to be a general soldier, as long as the chief soldier makes some merits, it is also very simple to be promoted to the left and right governors of the five armies.

It's a pity that Qiu Xiong, a loser, is like having an epileptic seizure as soon as he practices martial arts, cramping all over his body, and he can't do it at all.

Qiu Luan also knew that there was a chance that this loser thing was pretending, but there was no way, he was such a son, and he couldn't force people to death, so he could only stuff Qiu Xiong into the national prison and go to mix up with a civilian background.

Unexpectedly, he unintentionally inserted willows into the shade, and this time, Qiu Xiong's loser thing really came in handy.

Of course, Qiu Xiong knows Yan Shifan, a classmate, because Yan Shifan is also half a loser, and he is also proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and the two are not less foolish together.

Why is Yan Shifan half a loser?

Because of Yan Shifan's talent, this guy is not only proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, but also proficient in all the Four Books and Five Classics, that is to say, although Yan Shifan often goes to eat, drink and have fun, he has never fallen behind in his studies, and there is still a certain difference between him and Qiu Xiong, who is a pure bastard.

It's a pity that this guy didn't use his intelligence on the right path, he never thought about entering the official career through the imperial examination, and he was thinking about how to figure out people's hearts and how to use his father's power to make money!

At this time, it is no secret that he can buy an official in the capital, because Yan Song wants to pretend to be high, and it is inconvenient to come forward to accept bribes, so many people stuff the silver to Yan Shifan to seek an official position.

Of course Qiu Xiong knew this, so he didn't have any scruples at all, at about the beginning of the afternoon, as soon as the professor of Guozijian announced the end of class, he ran to Yan Shifan and said with a smile: "Brother Deqiu, I don't know if I can be free at night?" ”

Yan Shifan's word is actually called a ball!

I don't know if he used it to laugh at himself, or if it had other implications.

However, he really looks like a ball, short and fat, and Yan Song's fairy-like thin appearance is simply a world apart.

In fact, he already knew that Xianning Hou Qiuluan was looking for a future, but people didn't find his head, and he didn't bother to talk more.

Now that people have come to the door, he is naturally not welcome.

He smiled and said, "Brother Junjie, is there something wrong?" ”

Qiu Xiong nodded again and again: "Yes, Brother Deqiu, the junior brother has something I want to ask you for help, I don't know if Brother Deqiu has the leisure to go to have a glass of water and wine with the younger brother." ”

This guy is really a wine bag and rice bag, and he doesn't have any city government at all.

Yan Shifan secretly despised himself in his heart, but on the surface, he still smiled and said: "Since everyone is a classmate, they should watch and help each other, so there is no need to treat you for a drink, so let's be cheeky to drink you for my brother this time, and invite back for my brother next time." ”

Where did Qiu Xiong have the leisure to talk to others, Yan Shifan nodded, and he led the people to the best restaurant near Guozijian.

The two entered the restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered a table of wine and food, Qiu Xiong couldn't wait to say: "Brother Deqiu, don't hide it, the younger brother came to ask for advice on the order of his father, I don't know how many silver taels are needed for the position of the three-sided general system." ”

Nima, if you talk like this, you won't turn a corner, isn't this kind of thing a good thing, can't you say it tactfully?

Yan Shifan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said modestly: "Oh, Junjie and virtuous brother, what you said is that everyone is classmates, what money is not money, if you can help, it is naturally your duty to be a brother." ”

Qiu Xiong still smiled stupidly: "Brother Deqiu, you can give a real price, and I will go back to my father." ”

Alas, this stupid fork.

Yan Shifan helplessly explained: "Junjie and virtuous brother, I can't hide it, it does cost money to do things in these years, such as the trilateral general system of Lingzun, which is a big official at the level of a feudal official, the cabinet, the six ministries, and even the celebrant have to run, this really can't be done without silver." ”

Qiu Xiong nodded again and again: "The junior brother knows, the junior brother knows, you say, how much silver." ”

Yan Shifan said solemnly: "Brother Junjie, this ugly thing is said in front, it's not for my brother to take your silver, but for my brother to use the silver to help you dredge up the relationship." Generally speaking, the seven-rank magistrate or state judge needs three hundred taels of silver to dredge, the six-rank magistrate or the main matter of the worse needs to get five hundred taels of silver to dredge, and the chief of the yamen such as the household department and the official department is different, and the five-grade magistrate needs two thousand taels of silver to dredge, so this civil official will not talk about it. If you have a military position, you can be cheaper, and the general commander of the guard post needs 300 taels of silver to dredge, the general commander of the capital needs 700 taels of silver to dredge, and the general commander of the real power needs 2,000 taels of silver to dredge. Ling Zun's official at the level of a feudal official is different, because he can also control civil officials below the third grade, so if the civil and military are combined, I estimate that it will take about 50,000 taels to dredge. ”

Oh my God, fifty thousand taels!

Although Qiu Xiong is a wine bag and rice bag, he still knows how much 50,000 taels of silver is, and if he takes it out, even his family will have to break his bones.

He couldn't help but plead: "This, Brother Deqiu, can you see if there is less?" ”

Yan Shifan stared at him for a while, and then sighed: "Alas, you and I are classmates, I have to help with this favor, so let's beg my father to sell his old face and see if he can do it for 10,000 taels of silver." ”

I saved 40,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop!

When Qiu Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Thank you Brother Deqiu, thank you Brother Deqiu." ”

Yan Shifan shook his head and said solemnly: "You and I classmates, it's easy to say anything, but this time I have to wronged my father to beg people everywhere, this matter is not as simple as the friendship of classmates, you have to tell Ling Zun, what do we need Ling Zun's help with in the future, and I hope Ling Zun can remember today's feelings." ”

This means that Xianning Hou Qiuluan chooses to stand on the side and stand on the side of his father Yan Song.

Where did Qiu Xiong know this, he just nodded vigorously and said: "Little brother understands, little brother understands, I must talk to my father about this." ”
