"Yan Song?"

Xie Hong stood up violently, startling Zeng Jian and the scout, and the two looked at Xie Hong a little stunned, completely confused, not knowing why Xie Hong had such a big reaction.

But Xie Hong was indeed taken aback, of course he knew that Yan Song, this person was famous in later generations, and he was listed as one of the top ten annihilators in China, and his counterpart was the Qing official Hai Rui, but the latter's power was far worse than him.

This person should be a figure of the Jiajing Dynasty, right? Could it be that he is in the court now, or is it a person with the same name, Xie Hong thought about it, but he couldn't understand it.

However, when he heard that it was Yan Song, Xie Hong was interested, not because of the celebrity effect, but according to his understanding, if the person who came was really the Yan Song in history, it was really possible that he had come to take refuge.

You must know that Yan Song, the minister of power, was mixed under Jiajing, and Jiajing, the boss, is much more difficult to serve than Zhengde.

Zhengde is playful and not nosy, if you want to protect yourself, as long as you don't violate the river water with him, even if you are in a hurry, he rarely kills; But Jiajing is known for being mean and unkind, although he doesn't take care of things much, but he doesn't like it, but he can't, so he can only push things to others.

In addition, he is also very busy, not busy playing, but busy cultivating and becoming an immortal, and he also wants to participate in political affairs, which is manifested in the form of pulling one faction and fighting another, and then he is in the middle to achieve balance.

Under the guidance of Jiajing, in uninterrupted practice, the scholars continued to carry forward the tradition of infighting, and passed it on to future generations.

Jiajing's political philosophy is good or bad, and I don't talk about him, but under the hands of such an emperor, he has been in power for 20 years, and Yan Song's ability to observe words and emotions and see the wind and steer is beyond doubt.

In addition, this person's character is also guaranteed, he should not have the so-called character bones of the scholars, at least not in his own surname, as for the appearance of the surface, how to do that thing is inaccurate?

Of course, Xie Hong won't trust the other party casually because of this, but at least, this meeting is also a little interesting, isn't it? If it was determined from the beginning that the other party was here to play counter-tricks, there would be no suspense.

"Bring him to me." Xie Hong commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes." The scout bowed his hand and withdrew.

"Virtuous nephew, this Yan Song is your old acquaintance?" Zeng Jian said for a long time in the court, and he thought that he should be familiar with all the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, but he had no impression of Yan Song at all, so he knew that this person should have just entered the Hanlin Academy, and he should be the Jinshi of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi.

"That's not it, the little nephew just sounds familiar with the name." Xie Hong was telling the truth, he only knew a little bit of Yan Song's deeds, and he didn't know anything about the specific situation. He thought for a while, got up and said, "Uncle, the little nephew went to see him outside, and the uncle sat here to check the little nephew." ”

"Virtuous nephew, but it doesn't hurt to go." Zeng Jian bowed slightly.

I don't know if it's a thief with a weak heart, these words, Xie Hong always feels that Zeng Jian's smile is a little meaningful. It is said that Yue'er is elusive every day, Zeng Jian should rarely meet her, and when she does, the little girl may not tell her grandfather about those things, but that little girl is weird, and the strange place is almost not under the virtue, and it is really hard to say what will happen.

Although Zeng Jian should not be angry even if he knew, but Xie Hong still felt some pressure when facing the old man, no wonder the world called the old man Taishan, not Taishan, how could he give people such a lot of pressure!

"My lord, the people brought it." While he was sitting outside and thinking, the scouts had already brought the people in.

"Come in." Xie Hong commanded lightly, then raised his eyes, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned again: "It's you?" ”

"Shu Jishi Yan Song, I've seen Master Xie."

Yan Song was a tall and thin young man, wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, which was neat and tidy. I thought it was because he saw the opportunity quickly, so he didn't suffer much, which was a cut above Xia Ru, but the prince was taken down before reporting his identity.

In addition, from his salutation and attitude, Xie Hong could also see a respectful look, which showed that at least Yan Song knew very well what it meant to be a loss in front of him.

"It turns out that you are Yan Song."

Xie Hong's surprise was not because Yan Song had eyes or knew current affairs, but because he had indeed seen Yan Song, and he was at that feast. Moreover, it is very coincidental that Yan Song quoted the allusion in Zhuangzi, and then was answered by the third father-in-law, so there was a 1-0, not a draw, speaking of which, Xie Hong wanted to thank Yan Song.

"When I saw it, the demeanor of the adult was imprinted in the mind of the lower official, which made the lower official favorite it, and it could not be forgotten for a long time, and now I can see it, the demeanor of the adult is still the same, better than in the past, and the lower official is really happy......" Yan Song was full of sneers, and his mouth was full of words.

Xie Hong immediately determined that the person in front of him was the Yan Song in history, and he was eighty percent here to take refuge in himself, not to engage in some counter-plots.

Going deep into the enemy camp to engage in counter-plots requires not only eloquence, but also courage and corresponding value. At present, Wenchen has a great upper hand, and with their usual arrogance, they should not have thought of using such a scheme, not to mention that those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for such a thing must be the kind of people whose bones are engraved in their bones.

Whether Yan Song is a good person or a bad person, Xie Hong is not very sure, but he knows that Yan Song must be a person who can look at style and value himself very much, because the Jiajing Emperor who served him very well in history is such a person.

Moreover, the reason why Yan Song will come to take refuge is also very sufficient, you must know that the scholars and doctors are very angry, and if Yan Song's question was not answered by himself, I am afraid that it will not be easy for his side to score. On one side, of course, is the entire Hallym Temple; On one side are two showmen, well, one of them is still disabled, and if he draws, he loses, and Hanlin Yuan is as disgraced.

But how could a proud scholar think that? Since there is a reason and an object to be angry with, they will not pay so much attention to it, and it is their style to push the responsibility out first.

"Master Yan, why did you come to this official office?" Although there was some speculation, Xie Hong was not interested in Yan Song's flattering words, if he guessed correctly, Yan Song would choose this time, not earlier, there should be some reason.

"Master Xie Mingjian, the lower officials do have something important to report......" Yan Song saw the opportunity quickly, and as soon as he heard Xie Hong's impatience, he immediately changed the conversation and pulled the topic back to the topic, he hesitated and glanced at the scout next to him, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

"It's okay, they are all the official's henchmen here, Master Yan, you just have to say it, even if it doesn't meet the official's wishes, it won't be spread outside." Xie Hong waved his hand, there is no doubt about employing people, and the loyalty of the fans is very high.

In addition, he can't be completely at ease with Yan Song, although he may have a very low surname, but he also has to prevent this person from being a dead soldier sent by a foreign dynasty, he may not want to, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be ashamed and brave, and it is not too mysterious to use his family or something to persecute him, and let him assassinate himself.

"My lord, this time the tide of words against adults came quite suddenly, and the momentum was extremely huge, do you have some doubts in your heart?" Yan Song didn't insist, and directly picked out the intention. Xie Hong thought well, he did take refuge, and he also brought a letter of surrender.

Yan Song was originally from a poor family, and he was also a person from Jiangxi, and he was rarely taken care of by the township party in the DPRK. This is nothing, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are not a few such poor scholars, but the promotion will be slower, and the opportunity will come later.

Now that he has entered Hanlin, his future is guaranteed. If nothing goes wrong, a few decades later, his seniority will be slowly promoted, and then he will be pulled together with other powerful figures through marriages and other relationships, and Daming will have another wealthy family, and many wealthy families have come from this way.

However, the feast that was enough for him to remember for a lifetime changed all this, and since these days, how many nights have he been awakened in his dreams, eager to go back in time, to remind himself at that time, not to come up with that topic, even if it is an allusion used by others, and not to make a question from Zhuangzi.

Just after that feast, his words became extremely sad, and his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy said that the fiasco was his responsibility, and everyone in the world said the same, no one thought about it at all, even if it was a draw, would the Hanlin Academy have no face?

Of course, he couldn't say this rebuttal, and no one would listen to it, and the people in Shilin wouldn't say it so bluntly, people just kept questioning his knowledge. If it weren't for the fact that the examiner was a university scholar, his status was too high, maybe he would have been found a post-account, and then he would have ended up with Tang Bohu's fate back then.

Of course, if someone only questions or someone scolds, Yan Song will not be too worried, and he will not die if he is scolded, what is there to be afraid of? However, doubts spread throughout Shilin, including all the senior officials of the DPRK and China, which made his heart cold.

If you enter Hanlin, your future is guaranteed, that is, if you don't make a mistake and no one is against you, if all the officials don't have a good impression of you, then there is still a future for a fart? Although Yan Song lacks experience, he still sees this kind of thing very clearly.

Although the attitude of the newly appointed Hanlin Scholar Yang Ting and Lord Yang towards him was not bad, from the cold eyes of his colleagues and officials, Yan Song still realized that even if Xie Hong was punished later, he would have no hope, unless...... That's right, the only way is to take refuge in Xie Hong.

Xie Hong has no talents, many people know this, otherwise it would not be one to zero at the feast, the eunuch who gave Xie Hong tips is a strange talent, but compared to the real swords, he is far behind. From the fact that Xie Hong got a Tang Bohu and immediately gained momentum, it can be seen even more clearly.

Yan Song didn't know who was more talented than Tang Bohu, but he knew that Tang Bohu would find the right time than him, his actions were one step slower after all, and he would take refuge after Tang Bohu, even if his talent was higher than Tang Bohu, I am afraid it would be difficult to make achievements, he didn't want this, he wanted more!

However, even if he had the intention of taking refuge, he knew that he did not have enough weight to impress Xie Hong, so that Xie Hong would give him high-ranking officials, not to mention, with the current situation, it is still unknown whether Xie Hong can hold on.

It was precisely because of such and such scruples that Yan Song did not immediately make a move to take refuge, but only had a thought in his heart. There is a saying: hard work pays off, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Soon, he found his chance.
