After discussing Li Shizhen's question, Jiajing saw a few books on the table and asked, "Has anyone been here?" ”

"In the afternoon, Elder Xu Ge and Yan Butang came together," Li Fang said softly: "I said that the master has already settled down, so I drove them back." ”

"Hey, it's useless for you to hide it." Jiajing smiled self-deprecatingly: "My forbidden palace seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact, it is windy on all sides," he said, pointing to the palace people standing at the door and behind the pillars: "You look at the clay sculptures standing there, not moving, in fact, your heart and eyes are alive, I don't know which way to hook up with the gods, and I spread my ugly state today, so it has become a secret that everyone knows......"

The emperor seemed to sigh casually, but Li Fang and Chen Hong, who had just come in, were so frightened that their souls flew away, and they all knelt at Jiajing's feet.

Jiajing smiled strangely: "What about them, what are you two doing on your knees?" ”

Chen Hong was still clever, and hurriedly replied: "The slaves and maids and the chief steward are ordered to manage the forbidden area for Your Majesty, if there are really people in the palace who eat inside and outside, it will be a great responsibility for the slaves and maids!" ”

"I don't blame you, I blame people's hearts like water! Even if you are an old man for many years, you think you know the roots, but in fact, you don't know what he has become now. Jiajing sighed and said, "Bring the fold to me." ”

"Master, let's rest today, when you have enough spirits, it's not too late to watch tomorrow." Li Fang comforted.

"Take it, I'm not that squeamish." Jiajing shook his head and said, "At most, you can read it to me." ”

"Listening to what Elder Xu Ge meant, it's not good news......" Li Fang whispered.

"I didn't expect it to be good news!" Jiajing smiled bitterly and said, "If there are too many lice, don't bite, read it quickly." ”

"Yes." Li Fang glanced at Chen Hong, and Chen Hong picked up the fold, read Xu Jie's to Yan Shifan, and read it to the emperor again.

When he heard that "there is no cooking smoke in the village, there are many violent bones in the wilderness, the depression is miserable, the mother abandons the child, the father eats the son, and the father and the elder pass on the ......", Jiajing's face became extremely ugly, and then he thought about the disasters that had occurred in these years, as if there were more than the first thirty years of his imperial power, and the sum ...... 'It seems that something really went wrong!' Jiajing thought crankily.

After a while, Chen Hong finally finished reading, and said with a habitual surname: "May I ask the master, how to reply?" "The celebrant is the emperor's secretary, and this has become an occupational disease.

Jiajing came back to his senses and sighed: "Pufang is in trouble, the sin is bowing, what does it have to do with the people?" ”

This is the emperor's 'sin'! The eunuchs in the main hall knelt down with a sigh of applause when they heard this, and shouted together: "The slave and maid are guilty!" "Even though people don't know what the sin is, they have to shout it because it's the rule.

Jiajing sighed again and said: "The Ministry of Zhaohu immediately issued 600,000 taels of silver, and sent a member of the imperial history to buy grain as soon as possible, and try to transport it to help the people's urgency." At the end of the year, 50,000 taels of silver will be issued to the cattle for sowing in the spring. After a pause, he said: "At the same time, I borrowed 50,000 stones of rice from Taicang to relieve the hungry." ”

"Your Majesty's mercy, the blessing of all the people......" Chen Hongzan said, and said a little worriedly: "But if you take out such a large amount at once, there may be objections from the household department." ”

"It's not too much money to embezzle!" Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "It's distressing to take it out?" What kind of reasoning is this? As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and said, "If Fang Yu has any objections, let him go and find ...... Their little pavilion is old! He asked with an unkind face: "How many products is Xiaoge?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Ge Lao has no quality." Chen Hong also saw that Jiajing was dissatisfied with Yan Shifan, so he hurriedly said casually: "Xiaoge is always everyone's honorific title for Yan Butang. ”

"What is he capable of, and you all respect him?" Jiajing sneered: "Is it because there is a pavilion father?" ”

"It can't be regarded as respect," Chen Hong knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with Yan Shifan, and he was angry with himself, so he had to say casually: "It's just a nickname, which means that he is the son of the elder of the pavilion," said with a smile: "Of course, if the master doesn't like it, the slave and maid will let them change it." ”

"Hurry up!" Jiajing waved his hand and kicked Chen Hong out, but he didn't know whether to let him pass on the decree for disaster relief, or let Yan Shifan change his name.

Looking at his departing back, Jiajing said to Li Fang: "Do you understand Yan Shifan's tricks?" ”

Li Fang said softly: "Yan Maoqing's words are in the clouds, and the slaves and maids are stupid, and they can also hear the clouds." ”

"You're pretending to be confused." Jiajing smiled faintly, Li Fang was just about to ask for guilt, but he waved his hand to stop him: "I tell you, this trick used by Yan Shifan is actually not surprising......

The night is even more leaky, the Yanfu flower hall is as bright as day, the enchanting beautiful warbler sings Yanyu, and the half-drunk guest and host are wandering, that is the immortal Yan Maoqing, who is in the banquet to thank Yan Shifan.

Although he originally felt that Yan Shifan was quite unrighteous, Yan Maoqing was still shocked and excited to be able to use the method he taught to get rid of his crimes. Let the family wait at the gate of the palace, and when Yan Shifan arrives at the court, he will invite him to the house for a 'drink'.

Yan Shifan worked hard to plan, so he naturally wanted to collect gratitude and interest, so he happily went. As soon as he arrived in Yanfu, Yan Maoqing respectfully invited him to take a seat, and took the old and young people of Yanfu to kowtow to him.

Yan Shifan naturally accepted it, grinning and saying, "My own brother, what's polite?" Accompanied by Yan Maoqing, they stepped into the flower hall for a drink.

It's called a drink, but it's more sumptuous than an ordinary feast. Interestingly, the sky was gloomy, and the autumn rain was falling, which added to the wine.

Yan Shifan hugged left and right, half leaning and half leaning, drinking and eating, all of which were distributed into his mouth by the maid, as if he was eating at home, without seeing anything outside. Yan Maoqing still maintained three points of reserve, but carefully accompanied the conversation and toast, and Yan Shifan went to him.

"Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women." I only heard Yan Shifan say triumphantly: "Jingqing, what do you say I have to pursue in this life?" ”

Yan Maoqing smiled and said: "Longevity, longevity, play more in this world of flowers." ”

"Bullshit immortality!" Yan Shifan laughed and said: "The emperor has been cultivating diligently for decades, and he has lost all the **, and he has not been close to women for more than ten years, has not eaten meat, and has been blind to the creation of his previous life...... It would be good if you repaired something," he said with a smile: "Not to mention a bamboo basket fetching water, I also repaired my body...... and lowered his voice and said: "You know, when you come out of Yuxi Palace, the emperor will faint." ”

"Ah......" Yan Maoqing said with a pale face in shock: "No...... I didn't mess with it......"

"Look at your little bit of interest." Yan Shifan smiled contemptuously: "It has nothing to do with you, the emperor has been sick in the past few months, fainting, fatigue, and herpes on his body, and he has cultivated to achieve such a result," he gloated as he said: "So, cultivating immortals is a very human thing, we ordinary people, let's hurry up and have fun in time." ”

"Xiao Ge is right!" Yan Maoqing toasted a glass of wine and said: "But I just don't understand, why are you confused today, and tell the emperor to change his surname?" He said with a frightened face: "You don't know, when I started that posture, I thought I was going to spend the night in the edict tonight." ”

"I didn't do anything about it." Yan Shifan sneered: "Move with affection, know with reason." ”

"How?" Yan Maoqing smiled embarrassedly: "I'm stupid, but I'm really curious." ”

"Well, I'll teach you to be a good girl." Yan Shifan also needed someone to listen to him, so he said proudly: "The emperor has feelings for my father...... Since Jiajing 21 years since my father entered the cabinet, he has served the emperor for 20 years, the emperor has been accustomed to my father's speech and behavior, accustomed to his careful service, there is no minister in the world who knows the emperor better than my father, and is more obedient to his heart, so as soon as the anger passes, he will remember my father's benefits and be reluctant to abandon him. ”

"So you made me cry as soon as I went in, it turned out that I wanted the emperor to dissipate his anger." Yan Maoqing suddenly said: "What a reason!" ”

"Not bad!" Yan Shifan nodded and said, "But it's not enough to have feelings, there must be a reason for my father to continue to do it!" He sneered and said, "So I have to let the emperor know that the world is as black as a crow, and he Xu Jie's is not a good bird...... If the emperor doesn't believe it, he will check it, and make sure it is an eye-opener! ”

Yan Maoqing praised: "Good! Since you have changed to Xu Jie, there is no need to do more! ”

"I also used one last trick to make the emperor submit!" Yan Shifan smiled and said: "My Yan family's father and son have been in the government and the opposition for decades, whether in the court or in the locality, the protégés and old officials are all over the world!" It is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'the Zhu family is strict in the world', if you dare to rashly let the first assistant change hands, it will inevitably lead to a large-scale court dispute! Now the whole country is in constant famine and war, and the situation will be chaotic at that time, once the disaster relief and relief are neglected, it will immediately provoke a popular uprising! His Zhu family's country is also in danger! As he spoke, he showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "Do you think he dares to touch our father and son?!" ”

Yan Maoqing was sweating all over when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were so many hints in his words, and he didn't expect that Yan Shifan's scheming and courage would be coerced into the emperor's head!

Yan Shifan enjoyed Yan Maoqing's expression very much, tilted his head and took a sip of wine, and said proudly: "You know how good I am, right?" ”

"You are always wise and correct, follow you and rest assured!" Yan Maoqing hurriedly said: "I must be wholeheartedly and resolutely obedient!" ”

"It's good to know!" Yan Shifan's night owl-like ghost laughed, laughed and smiled, suddenly glanced at Yan Maoqing, and said lightly: "Don't say one thing and do another......

"How can that?" Yan Maoqing said with a dry smile.

"How not?" Yan Shifan sneered: "How did we agree at the beginning? You got money in Jiangnan, it seems that you should be three or seven points, right? ”

Yan Maoqing hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's all nonsense from the people below, they think this is to slap me, but they don't know that they want to kill me." After comprehending Yan Shifan's power, he didn't even dare to quibble, and quickly admitted his mistake: "I have already sent a message to my hometown and asked them to transport all those shadows to Fenyi." ”

Yan Shifan was still very satisfied with his attitude of admitting his mistakes, so he waved his hand generously and said, "Half and half, I can't let you work in vain." ”

Yan Maoqing was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the little pavilion elder!" "In my heart, I just wanted to slap my mouth, and said secretly: 'It was originally three or seven points, but now I have only a quarter, and I have to be grateful to Dade, what kind of account!'

"Get up!" Yan Shifan smiled proudly: "Lao Tzu will not let others suffer," said and suddenly remembered something, threw the wine glass on the ground and said: "It will also make those who dare to shadow me behind my back die without a place to be buried!" ”

Yan Maoqing said awe-inspiringly: "You mean Xu Jie, Xu Huating?" ”

"Not bad!" Yan Shifan nodded hatefully, but he was a little short of breath and said: "But he is a saint and a first-class pillar country, so he has to think about it in the long run......"

"You can cut off his henchmen first!" Yan Maoqing made a suggestion: "For example, that silence is the same year as Lin Run, who impeached me, and there are some hidden forces in Suzhou, this time I am unlucky, eighty percent thanks to him!" ”

"How can I not know?" Yan Shifan sighed indignantly and said, "Don't forget my unlucky beginning, that Shuntianxiang test was his main exam...... I've heard that his search is more than ten times stronger than before, which exposes the fraud case, saying that he is fine, and the ghost doesn't believe it! ”

"Since this silence is against us everywhere!" After being treated as a fool for half a year, Yan Maoqing wanted revenge very much, so he incited: "Then why don't you get rid of him?" As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and made a gesture of cutting off his head.

Yan Shifan's expression became even more depressed, and he shook his head and said, "He has an iron hoop around his neck, which he can't cut." ”

Yan Maoqing was surprised, if Xu Jie, as Yan Song's successor, could not be removed, but which onion was silence? Why can't you move?

Seeing the question on his face, Yan Shifan couldn't help but say: "In fact, with the strength of my Yan family, except for the emperor's relatives and relatives, the rest of the people are killed and killed, and they do whatever they want...... It's just that it's in the way of one person's face, and it's inconvenient to do it. ”

Thinking about it according to this clue, Yan Maoqing suddenly realized, and clapped his hands and said: "No wonder, it turns out that he is supporting him in the back!" As he spoke, he bent his right hand and made a 'six' gesture.

"Not bad!" Yan Shifan nodded and said: "It's Lu Bing, that gray grandson doesn't know what to eat and can't digest, with the dignity of the Taibao, he actually handed it over, he has to recognize a senior brother with him, and treat that stinky boy as a dog's head gold!" How did you fuel his arrogance and make him have the courage to oppose us!

Yan Maoqing was silent, he knew that although Yan Song was powerful, he couldn't help but envelop Lu Bing. Otherwise, it will not only be troublesome when it harms people, but will not get a lot of convenience; will even be made a joke by Jinyiwei...... For example, burying some blades, dragon robes or something in the backyard of Yan Song's house, so that he can't eat and walk around.

Thinking about this joint, Yan Maoqing was discouraged for a while, Yan Shifan's face was also stunned, and he said with hatred on his lips: "Don't worry, I have a way, let's not do it, make sure someone cleans him up for me!" ”

Yan Maoqing thought that he was talking angrily, so he echoed a few words, and then turned the page over and only talked about Fengyue...... The sandalwood in Yuxi Palace is curling, and Emperor Jiajing has not slept yet.

"It turns out that this method he used......" Li Fang suddenly said: "This is kidnapping my Daming!" ”

Jiajing nodded slowly and said, "I won't tell you, now I am in a dilemma, not to check, not to check," said with a long sigh and said: "When Shen Mo told me about the 'Yangtze River and Yellow River Theory', were you there?" ”

"Present, that high-level argument is really out of the ordinary, and the slave still remembers it vividly." Li Fang said with a smile.

"Heh, let's hear it." Jiajing Road.

"Yes," Li Fang cleared his throat and said, "At that time, Lord Shen said: 'My Chinese civilization is fed by rivers, the rivers are the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River is the Yellow River. The water of the Yangtze River is clear, the water of the Yellow River is turbid, the Yangtze River is flowing, and the Yellow River is also flowing. The water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the river, and the water of the Yellow River also irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides. It cannot be used because the water is clear, nor can it be wasted because of the turbidity of the water, which has been the case since ancient times. ”

"Your surname is good, it seems that this high theory is really popular." Jiajing rubbed the Baihui acupoint and said: "The ancient proverb: 'The sage is clear out of the Yellow River', but when did the Yellow River clear?" That's why I can't distinguish loyalty from purity ......"

Li Fang didn't dare to answer this, so he could only listen to the emperor and say to himself: "The Yellow River is flooding, and the people of the country are going to be flooded, is it okay if the Yangtze River floods?" No, it's going to kill people too! As he spoke, his face was distorted and said: "So whether you are the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, as long as you dare to disobey the rules, I have to learn from Dayu to govern it!" ”

Then he ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, you will take these bad debts to see Yan Song, see what he says, and ask him if he cares." ”

"Yes." Li Fang said softly.

"Call Chen Hong in again." Jiajing waved his hand.

After a while, Chen Hong came, and Jiajing also ordered him: "You also go to see Xu Jie early in the morning and ask him to check on me, who is the one who leaked the exam questions and expanded-pay attention, it is expanded, not for you to investigate the initiator!" ”

"Yes." Chen Hong also replied respectfully.
