"Congratulations to my father for succeeding him as the secretary of the ministry and crowning him as the prince and young master!" , Yan Shifan stepped into the door and said to Yan Song with a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's there to congratulate on this, it's just a name...", Yan Song took a sip of tea casually, "Xu Zan that old guy is gone, you can't let this position stay empty, right?" And it can't be cheap, Xu Jie's servant..."

"Where is Xu Jie's qualifications, how could the emperor give him the position of the secretary of the ministry!" , Yan Shifan said with a smile, "Besides, Xu Jie and we are not of the same mind, he always runs to Peng Yue, but refuses to associate with us..."

"yes, his heart isn't here... Peng Yue's heart is not necessarily with us...", Yan Song said with a sigh.

"Indeed, I also feel... Peng Yue didn't seem to be close to us because he married Mengyun's sister...", Yan Shifan shook his head regretfully, "I feel that he hasn't come to our house many times, and every time he talks about etiquette, he doesn't have anything else to say, I don't believe that he and Xia Yan were like this before..."

"Well, you're right, is Peng Yue willing to be close to us... It's hard to say..."

"So, didn't Sister Mengyun marry for nothing?" , Yan Shifan asked with a frown.

"How can you say that you are married for nothing? At least Mengyun can make Peng Yue maintain a neutral attitude...", Yan Song analyzed with a smile, "Although Peng Yue is not very willing to be close to us now, at least he is not an enemy of us... He was Xia Yan's person before, and if he wants to completely apostatize, I think it will take a while..."

"Dad, it's been a long time..."

"Then wait a little longer... Honestly, just the things we're doing right now. If it had been placed in the past, when Xia Yan was in power, he would have been on the tip of the needle. But do you see Peng Yue moving now? This means that his attitude has changed, can you say? There's no role for Mengyun in this? ”

"I think it's because he was afraid of his father's power, and he made a last resort decision after weighing it...", Yan Shifan muttered unconvinced.

"Yes, what you said makes sense, so I've always been very worried about him... This time there was a shortage of people in the cabinet, and I wanted to bring him in to fill the number, but... After thinking about it, I still gave up on this idea, and I was still just myself. It's safer...", Yan Song said helplessly.

"Dad's approach is very correct, Anzhi Peng Yue will not have his own mind after entering the cabinet?" , Yan Shifan agreed.

"And when Mengyun comes back to visit her family, can you ask her about something? It's always better than sending people to inquire and follow all day, right? ”

"That's true, but I always feel wronged by Mengyun girl..."

"What is there to be wronged about? At that time, when she got married, she was happy as long as she wanted to. That's better than anything else. ”

"But Sister Mengyun doesn't know that we married her in order to... Hmm...", Yan Shifan was about to go on. After being glared at by Yan Song, he immediately kept silent.

"Okay, let's stop talking about it...". Yan Song waved his hand at Yan Shifan, "It's better to think that I'm alone in the cabinet now." How do you deal with yourself? ”

"What? Dad, are you worried about being alone in the cabinet? Will it arouse the emperor's suspicion? Yan Shifan asked with some concern.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, but... To be honest, I don't want anyone else to enter the cabinet now...", Yan Song sighed, as if he was sighing, "This feeling of exclusivity... It's so nice..."

"Dad, since that's the case, then don't worry about this matter first, I think the emperor still trusts you a lot...", Yan Shifan saw that his father seemed to really like this feeling now, so he comforted his father on the side, "Some of these folds, I will help you deal with them privately, and you don't have to worry about being too busy..."

"Well, let's do it first, I think the emperor has no opinion on me to manage the cabinet affairs alone, after all, it was the emperor who proposed it first." , Yan Song seemed to be comforting himself, and found a reason for himself, "Actually, the most important thing to care about now is Zhai Peng's problem, I didn't expect him to win such a big battle..."

"Yes, this is really a bit unexpected...", Yan Shifan's face turned gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "We must think of a way, otherwise when his credit becomes heavier and his position becomes more stable, we will not be able to help him..."

"This is not necessarily, maybe this is an opportunity, hehe...", Yan Song smiled a little terrifyingly, "The higher you climb, the worse you fall, but some people just don't understand this, and they always forget to see if there is anyone behind them to push themselves." ”

"Dad, do you have a way now?"

"Actually, when I suggested to the emperor to fight with the Tartars, I had this idea vaguely, but it was not mature and needed luck, but now it seems... It's a very feasible idea..."

"Dad, what the hell is going on? Don't sell it to the kids..."

"In fact, the emperor has always been more concerned about border defense, to put it bluntly, the emperor has always been looking forward to the northwest being able to settle down, but the situation over the years has made the emperor gradually extinguish this kind of thought...", Yan Song said, and sneered, "But it's different now, Zhai Peng has won a big battle, will the emperor's confidence be enhanced?" If he played to the emperor at this time and asked Zhai Shangshu to pursue the victory and solve the rebellion in one fell swoop, would the emperor agree? ”

"Dad, Zhai Peng was able to win a big victory this time, firstly, he was unprepared by the Tartars, and secondly, it was a matter of timing, you must know that it is impossible to solve the northwest border trouble now... Oh...", Yan Shifan was halfway through his words, and suddenly looked like he suddenly realized, "Dad, you are really a good way!" ”

"I gave the emperor so much hope, if Zhai Peng gave the emperor a big disappointment, tsk... I really don't know how Lord Zhai should deal with himself...", Yan Song said while shaking his head with a smile, "And I have to help Lord Zhai when the time comes, otherwise I'm afraid things won't go so well, haha..."

When Yan Shifan heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, "Dad, this matter... It's better not to leave the handle, otherwise there will be endless trouble..."

"Of course I know that, but... I'm afraid that Zhai Peng is very capable, and when the time comes, he will give the emperor a happy and angry ending, so aren't we working in vain, and even making wedding dresses for others? ”

"This is also...", Yan Shifan nodded, "If you don't use some means, I'm afraid it's really not that easy..."

"Fan'er, in fact, I don't want to be an enemy of Zhai Peng, but not only does he not accept my affection, but he also wants to fight against me...", Yan Song sighed helplessly as he said, "You also know that when he hadn't left Beijing, I personally inscribed a plaque from Shangshu Mansion and sent it to his mansion, and instead of thanking him, he retreated back intact... And he is really ruthless when he is still in office, and many of our people have been dealt with by him... Just think about it makes me angry, this is what you want to do against me! ”

"Dad, he is a military secretary, no matter what, how big can he become?" , Yan Shifan said with some disdain.

"When he becomes the climate and has the ability to stay with us for a long time, then it will be too late." , Yan Song breathed a long sigh of relief, "Do you remember what I just said to you?" Some people who climb to high places always forget to look back to see if someone pushes them from behind. So what we have to do now is to hold this high place and smash all the people who can climb up to him! (To be continued.) )
