Chapter 200: Forbearance and Waiting

Peng Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, and leaned back in the chair a little dejectedly, with indescribable troubles in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning, when he heard that Zhu Houxi was going to allocate money to "do a big job" in the northwest, he was happy in his heart: he finally woke up, was finally willing to spend money, and was finally willing to consider the suffering people on the northwest border!

But when he later learned the full content of Zhu Houxi's order, he was surprised and frightened: what did he want to do? How can the northwestern turmoil be resolved in one fell swoop? Wasn't that fight enough? The Tartars are good at mobile warfare, so it's good if they don't come to plunder, but you want to take the initiative to provoke them, do you think this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty?

He felt that Zhu Houxi's resolution was a bit absurd and incredible. When he heard that this was Yan Song's strong plea, the sense of surprise in his heart was even more self-evident: Could it be that the history books of later generations were written wrongly, and this Yan Song actually wanted to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly, and also had the ideal ambition of doing his best and dying?

But after careful analysis, he realized what a terrible trap this was, it turned out that this was Yan Song's plan a long time ago! He finally understood that when Zhu Houxi summoned himself and Yan Song to discuss the dispatch of troops in the northwest, Yan Song would persuade Zhu Houxi to contribute money and efforts so firmly.

Now think about Yan Song's eyes, that smile, it's really terrifying, why didn't you think of it in the first place? At that time, he was only thinking about how to make Zhu Houxi, the confused emperor, take a compromise approach to solve the war in the northwest, but he didn't expect to fall into Yan Song's trap!

Thinking about it, how could Yan Song do so much to help Zhai Peng? He and Zhai Peng were already at odds, and Zhai Peng also showed his attitude to Yan Song several times.

For example, last time I and Yan Shifan. went to Zhai Peng's house as a guest together, because Yan Shifan praised the couplet that Zhai Peng wrote in the living room. The next day, Zhai Peng replaced the couplet written in the living room. With such an obvious expression, can the Yan father and son not detect it?

I really don't know when Zhai Peng received this military order. What would it be like, excitement, or desire to cry without tears? Maybe completely quelling the chaos in the northwest is also a difficult task for him, right?

At this moment, he suddenly felt so powerless, and there was no way to stop many things. Not to mention that he can't ask Zhu Houxi to retract his erroneous fate, even some ministers, he can't protect them.

These days. In the matter, Wang Xian, Shen Liangcai, Chen Kai, Shanxi Governor Tong Hanchen, Fujian Governor He Weibo and others successively impeached Yan Song for corruption, selling official positions and other things, but in the end they were all convicted, or executed, demoted, or exiled.

I also tried to go to the rescue, but not only did I not succeed. Instead, he blamed Yan Song.

I remember the last time I went to Yan Song's mansion, I learned that Zhao Wenhua, who was originally the political envoy of the General Political Department, had intercepted all the excerpts related to Yan Song that were directly presented to the emperor in advance.

That was the time. In order to help others intercede, he happened to run into the matter of Li Rujin in the matter of the official department and the impeachment of Yan's father and son.

He vaguely felt. That was what Yan Song deliberately let himself see. One of his purposes was to demonstrate to himself, and he wanted to tell himself indirectly. How powerful he is, he wants to make a "right choice".

The second purpose is to test my attitude. Because Li Rujin was Xia Yan's person before, he wanted to see how he dealt with this "old comrade-in-arms".

It was at that time that Peng Yue knew how cunning Yan Song was and how uneasy he was about himself. He also knows that it is far from enough to give himself a "cheap daughter-in-law".

In fact, he was quite hesitant at the time, because Li Rujin was quite famous, and he didn't want him to end up too miserable. But Peng Yue later figured it out, he knew that if he said a few good words, he would not be able to save Li Rujin at all, but would make Yan Song even more suspicious of himself.

So he laughed and said that Li Rujin was beyond his strength, and said to Yan Song that he must have the ambition to become famous and appreciated in one fell swoop, so he dared to do this, he wanted to show that he had nothing to do with these things, in fact, he really had nothing to do with these things.

Later, Yan Song gave himself face, but said that he wanted to send him to Jinling to serve, but Peng Yue felt very humiliated and helpless.

It was at that moment that he decided that he had to take action immediately to get rid of Yan Song, and he could no longer be a disaster for the government. He has to be patient, he has to find a way, he has to accumulate strength, he has to succeed in one fell swoop, because he can only have one chance. Maybe if you don't succeed once, you won't have a chance again.

He began to contact Xia Yan more frequently and secretly, because he knew that there were some things that he couldn't do by himself and that he had to need Xia Yan's help, and Xia Yan was also very few capable people who could fight against Yan Song.

Xia Yan has also been working hard, and he has never broken off contact with the imperial court. He was also reflecting on the ******** he had made before, and he began to learn to be compromised again, and he practiced writing green words harder, just to please Zhu Houxi.

In the congratulatory gifts he gave to Zhu Houyu when he was looking for an opportunity, his words were also more humble, just to prevent Zhu Houyu from forgetting, and he was a person, just to let Zhu Houyu know that he had realized his mistake.

Peng Yue tried everything he could, wanting to pave the way for Xia Yan to return to the government, to squeeze out Yan Song, and to seek justice for those wronged ministers.

But Yan Song's enemy is really cunning, whenever Peng Yue looks at her somewhat old Long Zhong's back, he always feels that he is terrifying. He seems to have seen through Zhu Houxi's mind, knows what to do and what not to do, and he is good at scheming, there is no bottom line, it is really not easy to find a handle from him that can make Zhu Houxi angry.

For example, Zhu Houxi also knew about Yan Song's corruption and bribery, and the amount was even very alarming, but he didn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all, and he kept turning a blind eye to those impeachment pieces, so that the ministers had to think carefully before impeaching Yan Song.

It seems that now Zhu Houxi really just cares about whether the ministers under his command are obedient or not, and he doesn't care about some of their details. As for what is the matter of details, he has his own set of criteria.

In fact, now he has a lot of evidence of Yan Song's crimes, but Peng Yue vaguely feels that these criminal evidences are not very useful. In fact, what he lacks is an opportunity, a key major event that can give Yan Song a blow, just to find this breaking point, or Zhu Houxi's pain point, then he can't worry about bringing down Yan Song.

Although Yan Song was cautious in everything, Peng Yue believed that he would be able to find this point. Judging from Yan Song's methods of dealing with dissident forces in the DPRK and China, this old man has gradually lost control of the power in his hands, which is Zhu Houxi's taboo, and Peng Yue also believes that Zhu Houyu sees everything in his eyes. Maybe he doesn't understand it now, but after a while he will.

Wait slowly, be patient enough, there will be such an opportunity after all, Peng Yue unconsciously clenched his hands... (To be continued.) )
