Chapter 185: The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high
"Dad, I heard that Zhai Luan, Xu Zan, and Zhang Bi jointly impeached you today?" , Yan Shifan hurriedly walked in, but saw that his father was drinking tea there as if nothing had happened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes...", Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan, his expression was unusually calm, "This thing is also worth making a fuss about?" ”
"Ahh Yes...", Yan Shifan saw his father's attitude, and he was not so hairy, "But... Dad, this is not a trivial matter, although the emperor favors you very much, but the three of them are united..."
"What's the fear of that?" , Yan Song smiled slightly, "Since the emperor sent that will, I knew that there would be today..."
It turned out that since Yan Songji met Zhu Houyu last time, Zhu Houyu was "greatly inspired", and became more and more obsessed with the things of cultivation, but he gradually slacked off on the affairs of the court and politics, and personally issued an edict, saying:
I didn't rely on the grace of heaven and earth, the ghosts and gods blessed me, and I was killed by the rebels for a long time, how can I have today? From today onwards, I have devoted myself to fasting, acquiescing in all national political affairs, and ordering Yan Song, a university scholar, to preside over the decision, and to choose what to hear. The university scholars should be cautious, prudent, and impartial.
As soon as this edict came out, it can be said that the ministers were in an uproar: Doesn't this mean that Yan Song has monopolized power? As a result, many ministers played, either admonishing or opposing, but in the end there was no news.
Of course, as soon as this edict came out, the most anxious were Zhai Luan, Xu Zan and Zhang Bi, especially Zhai Luan, who was the first assistant of the upright cabinet, how could he let Yan Song, an old boy, take the lead? It's really shameless...
Zhang Bi and Xu Zan were also uncomfortable, because they both entered the cabinet before Yan Song, and it was not his turn to take his turn... That's good. used to work for the emperor, but now it has become a part-time job for Yan Song...
In addition, Yan Song has been in power since he entered the cabinet. It's really a bad record, and I grab a lot of it. How can such a person with a low moral level stay in the cabinet? It's just pulling down our forced qualifications, and of course, the most important thing is to lower our own status...
So the three of them discussed and decided to jointly impeach Yan Song and expel him from the cabinet.
"Dad, do you already have a way to deal with it?" Yan Shifan saw that Yan Song looked confident, and the heart that was still burning just now had been put back in his stomach at this time.
"Of course I have, I have already read this letter before it was sent to the emperor..."
"Dad, since you saw it, why don't you take the letter off, so that there will be nothing at all?" , Yan Shifan asked suspiciously.
"Hehe... They were all ministers. I deducted this fold, and they can't write another one? They have no other way to put it in the hands of the emperor? Yan Song sneered, as if he thought Yan Shifan's question was a bit stupid. Besides, if I withhold this fold, I will leave someone else with a handle to hold the piece privately. Am I not giving people the opportunity to take advantage of their tongues? ”
"Oh... What Dad said was that the child was negligent...". Yan Shifan smiled awkwardly, "How did Dad deal with it?" ”
"Actually, I was before the emperor's edict. I once said to the emperor that as soon as this edict comes out, the ministers will definitely oppose it, and there will be villains who will falsely accuse me, I will explain the benefits to the emperor clearly, and the emperor will naturally believe it, so so many courtiers impeached me before, and I am safe and sound...", Yan Song stroked his beard and said proudly.
"I see, Daddy's chess is high...", Yan Shifan praised with a smile, but he thought that just taking such a preventive shot is not very useful.
"At the same time as Zhai Luan played this time, I also wrote a letter, and I only refuted it a little in the recital, but most of the content was to ask the emperor for resignation...", Yan Song said this, and glanced at Yan Shifan meaningfully, as if he wanted to test him: Son, do you know what's going on?
Yan Shifan listened to his father's half-clear words, and he also pondered in his heart, but after all, he was smart, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason: Yan Song must have said in the twists and turns how difficult it was for him to work in the cabinet, Zhai Luan and the three of them saw that the emperor favored him, how he was dissatisfied, how they joined forces to bully themselves, and wanted to kick themselves out of the cabinet...
In this way, the emperor's bias is naturally obvious: Yan Song is too pitiful, an old man lets three old men join forces to bully, it's too miserable...
"Daddy is smart...", Yan Shifan looked at his father with admiration, "The emperor is the most jealous of courtiers, and the three cabinet ministers together impeach you alone, which seems to be an advantage on the surface, but in fact it is a disadvantage..."
Yan Song listened, smiled and patted Yan Shifan's shoulder, obviously satisfied with his son's answer: It is worthy of my Yan Song's son!
"Fan'er, today there is a Shandong patrol named Ye Jing who plays the corruption and bribery of his father, what do you say?" , Yan Song lowered his arm, and gave Yan Shifan a "problem".
"This is easy to do..."Shandong is about to hold a township test, it should be supervised by this Ye Jing, when the time comes, Dad will take the opportunity to excerpt some of the words in the volume, as long as the words are right, it is estimated that this Ye Jing will not end well!" After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he raised his chin, as if he was very proud of his method similar to "text prison".
"Hmm... That's a good idea...", Yan Song nodded with satisfaction, "Just do as you say, haha... I'm going to let this Ye Jing be killed by the court staff, who let him write so vividly..."
"By the way, Daddy, I've already thought of the way to make money that you asked me to think about last time...", Yan Shifan was naturally very happy to get his father's praise and praise, so he wanted to perform well, in fact, he did act as Yan Song's think tank and the like.
"Daddy, what do you think of the method of selling officials?" , Yan Shifan's small eyes narrowed, and he looked quite proud, "The money comes quickly, and the wealth is wide..."
Yan Song's face changed when he heard this, "Nonsense! How can this work? Once people know it, this is a great crime, and it cannot be refuted! If you want to get money quickly, why don't you go and rob the treasury? ”
Yan Shifan couldn't help laughing at Yan Song's "black humor", "Dad, don't get excited, it's not selling officials, it's "donating officials"..."
"Is this different from selling officials?"
"Of course, there is a difference, donating officials is recognized by the imperial court! Some small local officials are in office, and the emperor doesn't care much about it, so he will allow some wealthy businessmen to donate officials..."
"So... Isn't all the money in the treasury? ”
"Dad, what the court said is a price, and we set a price. When those who donate officials come to the capital to pay, Daddy can meet them by the way and explain the rules clearly... In this way, the emperor also has more silver to cultivate, so naturally he turns a blind eye, why not do it? ”
"Oh... I see...", Yan Song naturally understood what Yan Shifan meant, in this way, not only made money, but also "controlled" people by the way, which is really a wonderful way, "You kid... Whole people and whole money... It's a bit of a trick, haha..."
"But... Dad, the child thinks that the most important thing now is Zhai Luan...", Yan Shifan said with some concern, "After all, he is the head of the cabinet, and there are some forces in the court, so the child is worried..."
"Don't worry, Zhai Luan... I can't tolerate him, and he even took the initiative to provoke me...", Yan Song's kind-hearted gaze, which usually seemed harmless, suddenly became ruthless, "I've already figured out a way, Zhai Luan's two sons are not on the right path, this is just a handle, so let's start in this place..." )
