Yan Heng did not decisively promise Liu Jin that he wanted Toad Palace to be the first assistant, nor did he refuse Liu Jin's invitation to him to fight for the Ming Dynasty together, and he did not even reprimand him for being a eunuch who also has the ambition to govern the country.

Now, the only option Yan Heng has is silence.

Only silence will not make this future power-leaning eunuch hold a grudge, and he will not have too much to do with this great eunuch who is facing the end of Ling Chi's execution.

In Yan Heng's opinion, Liu Jin may remember himself and become interested in himself at this moment because of his words in front of Wang Shu, but with the ups and downs of the next few decades, it is difficult to guarantee that he will remember himself again.

People are always forgetful, maybe Liu Jin will even forget his current youth and frivolity.

Not to mention himself and Xiao Yan Song, two small characters who are not known to the world now.

Therefore, Yan Heng felt that he was not deliberately close or deliberately estranged, and Liu Jin would also forget his own, and when the time came, he might be among the scholars and doctors because of Xiao Yan Song's development, but Liu Jin would not have anything to do with it.

Yan Heng said goodbye to Liu Jin on the grounds that his father was in prison and urgently needed to enter the city to deal with it, but Liu Jin did not stop him, nor did he say that he would help Yan Heng save his father with the power of Dongchang.

After all, he, Liu Jin, is still only a small eunuch, and he does not have enough power to deal with the civil official group, especially to interfere in the internal affairs of Shilin, and he also wants to see what means Yan Heng has to save his father.

However, Liu Jin saw the ragged appearance of the two brothers Yan Heng and Yan Song, and he couldn't stand it, so he still took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Yan Heng, telling him to go into the city to change his clothes, so as not to lose the face of the scholar.

Yan Heng naturally smiled happily, if you have money, you don't want to be a gentleman, but he didn't expect that the one who really regarded himself as a scholar and had to take care of his reading face was the eunuch who was most despised by scholars in the world.

Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, and it can make the future great eunuch Liu Jin pay the silver for himself, if this is passed on to the future Zhengde years, I am afraid that it will surprise people to the extreme.

Captain Jinyi, who became Liu Jin's confidant, asked Liu Jin puzzled:

"Why does my father-in-law take such good care of these two children, even if it is called Yan Heng, he is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is difficult to say whether he can be a jinshi in the future, let alone what he will do."

"It's called playing idle chess, burning the cold stove, understand?"

Liu Jin said sharply, and then explained:

"This is mixed in the officialdom, if you want to climb up, if you want to do something earth-shattering, you don't just rely on charcoal in the snow or icing on the cake;

Sometimes we have to cast the net first and then collect the fish, especially for small people like you and me, now if you want to make friends with those high-ranking officials in the court, these people will not look at us squarely;

But the whole world is in charge of the readers, and if we want to achieve great things, we must use them, and now we can only find these scholars who are not yet famous but have the potential to be extremely popular ministers in the future, and it is better to give more favors than to create hatred, understand? ”

This brocade-clothed lieutenant didn't expect his father-in-law to think so far, but just said with a smile:

"The little ones understand, no wonder Liang's father-in-law (Dongchang Admiral) asked his father-in-law to visit the folk prodigy, it turned out to have such a meaning."

"This is not only the meaning of Liang Gonggong, but also the meaning of His Majesty today, the elders of the pavilion do not take Your Majesty seriously, but they don't know that Your Majesty's thoughts are far away, but among these prodigies who visited Jiangxi, in my opinion, even Xia Yan (Jiajing Dynasty Shoufu) in Guixi is not as good as this one named Yan Heng."

Liu Jin said and asked: "Did the conversation between Yan Heng and Wang Shu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, be deported to Beijing that day?" ”

"I have been deported to Beijing, but I am afraid that it has now been placed in front of His Majesty's case."

……

The county seat of Fenyi County.

Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song both looked at everything in front of them with excitement on their faces, for Yan Heng, this was the first time he had seen Daming's town, although it was a small county town, it was far more real than Hengdian Film and Television City.

For Xiao Yan Song, this is the first time he has come to the county seat, and he grew up in the countryside, and everything he sees at this moment is fresh.

In Xiao Yan Song's small hands, what is compared is the city wall of Fenyi County, which is made of blue bricks.

The walls appear to have been newly built, and there are still traces of mud and water left by the pouring at the base of the walls.

Although the soldiers guarding the city gate were quite burly, they searched more carefully and maintained order very well.

It can be seen that the county magistrate here is relatively capable of doing things, and sometimes the infrastructure of a place can show an official's ability to govern.

Yan Heng can conclude that the county magistrate in this city is definitely not a corrupt official who only knows how to make money, as long as he is not a corrupt official, it is easy to do.

However, his father is a showman, and he is guilty of contradicting the great grandmaster, and it is useless whether the county order is good or not, and we have to see if the master is a good official.

Yan Heng didn't care to appreciate the structure of the Ming Dynasty city for a moment, and he had to rush into the city before the city gate was closed.

After entering the county seat, because it was already dark, Yan Heng did not take Xiao Yan Song to visit the night market, but went directly to the inn first.

Now the two brothers Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song are not short of money at all, so they naturally found an inn that looks very high-end and safe, and they also chose an upper room to live in.

Yan Heng, who came to the county for the first time, was also a little clueless for a while, and he didn't know where to start to save his father.

After all, even if he wants to deal with the government now, he can't find anyone who knows the government.

Yan Heng knew that he could now go directly to Ouyang Jin, who was working as a pawn in the county yahufang, and he would help guide him, but Yan Heng was sure that this Ouyang Jin would definitely take the opportunity to extort his money.

Therefore, Yan Heng decided not to go to Ouyang Jin first, but to see if there was any other way first.

In Yan Heng's view, there is a key point in any complex problem, and these key points are the clues to solve the problem.

In other words, even if you want to make a point, the most important thing is to make a point.

Regardless of whether he can get it or not, but think about what to do first, Yan Heng found that he didn't even know who the envoy of Jiangxi was now, and he didn't even know who the county magistrate of Fenyi County was.

Yan Heng searched the database directly, but this search found that today's Jiangxi student official turned out to be Yang Yiqing!

The county order of Fenyi County is actually a bear embroidery!

Yan Heng didn't need to search the database to know that Yang Yiqing was the first assistant in the Jiajing period, and he was also the feudal official who overthrew Liu Jin during the Zhengde period, and he was both civil and military.

But Yan Heng didn't expect that Yang Yiqing would actually be a student in Jiangxi at this time.

Since he is a famous first auxiliary official in the future, in Yan Heng's opinion, this Yang Yiqing should not be too bad, nor too careful, although he may not be a clean official, but he should also be a good official.

After database search, Xiong Xiu was later the governor of Liangguang and the right capital of the imperial history, and after his death, he was also given the position of the secretary of the criminal department, and also won the reputation of "Qing Festival in the court", it can be seen that this person is also a good official who is honest and honest.

Since they are all good officials, it is a good thing for Yan Heng.

The reason why the people like good officials is because the cost of obtaining political services is low, and they do not have to bear the redundant cost of going up and down.

And now the same is true for Yan Heng, he found that he could also make these two officials willingly release their father without having to send too much money.
