Chapter 363: Transformation of Strength
Qi Jiguang really did not disappoint Peng Yue, he flipped through the book that Peng Yue gave him day and night, and finally found the way to win in it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Based on the "Secret War" volume in this book, he created and evolved a wonderful formation: the Mandarin Duck Formation.
This formation is equivalent to a hand-to-hand combat method, the combat power is extremely terrifying, and it can evolve a variety of formations according to the terrain, such as the Five Elements Formation and the Three Talents Formation, which is almost flawless.
Qi Jiguang let his soldiers practice diligently according to this method, and finally formed the Qi family army that made the Japanese invaders feared in history, and they will soon be truly tested, because the Japanese will not be idle, according to the intelligence, there will be a number of Japanese soldiers ashore to rob, and this hard-trained Qi family army is quietly waiting for their arrival...
At this time, it was not only Qi Jiajun who was waiting, but also Xu Jie, who was far away in the capital, he waited even harder, and after waiting for a long time, he felt as if he had almost waited.
Yan Song is not a robot, he can also make mistakes, he also has careless times, and serving the emperor is a very demanding thing, and there is no room for mistakes.
Therefore, Yan Song, who is getting older and will inevitably make some small mistakes, is gradually disgusted by Zhu Houxi. He himself has a bad record, although since Yang Jisheng, few ministers dare to impeach him, but his affairs are there, and it is impossible for Zhu Houxi not to know.
Although Zhu Houyu doesn't care much about some subsections, Yan Song always makes mistakes in some subsections, which will inevitably upset Zhu Houxi, after all, he is corrupt and bribed, no matter how he says it, it is not a good thing, and he will not get Zhu Houxi's appreciation and support.
Even sometimes when I get along with Zhu Houxi, I will inadvertently say something that makes Zhu Houxi angry. After all, they get along well, although Yan Song has always been cautious in his heart, but the tiger also has a nap, so Yan Song provoked Zhu Houxi to get angry a few times, Zhu Houxi gradually became a little impatient, and the "friendship" gradually faded, as the saying goes, "A companion is like a tiger", this sentence is not a joke.
How so? Since they are not the same person, there will always be a conflict of interest between them, so it is generally difficult for the relationship between the monarch and the minister to have good results. For example, Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan at the beginning, they were also beautiful for a while, and they may have been regarded as "friends" by Zhu Houxi, but in the end, it is still difficult to avoid a tragic ending. The reason is simple, because they were unequal from the beginning.
Among them, the three things Yan Song did made Zhu Houyu feel angry, and to a certain extent, Zhu Houxi's evaluation of Yan Song was greatly discounted in his heart.
The first thing is that Yan Song was greedy for a sum of money that should not be greedy: Yan Song recommended his right-hand man Yan Maoqing to collect salt taxes and transport them back to the capital for 3.3 million taels, of which 2.3 million taels were filled with the state treasury and 1 million taels were given to Zhu Houxi's private treasury.
But later Zhu Houxi learned from Jin Yiwei that Yan Maoqing actually collected 5.3 million taels of salt tax this time, of which 2 million taels were concealed by Yan Maoqing, and were divided into three batches, one batch was transported back to his hometown, one batch was transported back to Yan Song's hometown, and one batch was transported to the capital for related use.
Zhu Houxi naturally couldn't tolerate this kind of thing, because he always felt that Yan Song was very good at being a man, and he was very grateful that Yan Song would take out one million taels to his private treasury, but he didn't expect Yan Laozhi to take the lion's head silently, and he didn't let himself know.
Zhu Houxi is a smart and stingy person, Yan Lao is greedy and greedy, but if he is greedy for himself, he can't bear it, so Yan Song's corruption has become a hurdle in Zhu Houxi's heart that he can't get over anymore.
Because Yan Maoqing misappropriated one million taels of it to Zhu Houxi for personal use, this kind of thing cannot be publicized, so Zhu Houyu found another reason to teach Yan Maoqing a lesson, and wanted to remove his official, thanks to Yan Song's maneuvering, so that Yan Maoqing was not deposed, but Zhu Houxi looked at Yan Song more and more uncomfortable.
The second thing is that Yan Song recommended a person who should not be recommended: after Wu Peng, the secretary of the ministry, became a minister, Yan Song recommended his relative Ouyang Bijin to take over. didn't know that Zhu Houxi was very disgusted with this person, and after seeing the list, he even threw the list to the ground angrily. But Yan Song still insisted that Ouyang Bijin take over, and in the end, Zhu Houxi agreed because of Yan Song's affection, but he was very awkward in his heart.
You must know that Zhu Houyu liked Yan Song at the beginning, just because he was obedient in everything, not like Xia Yan, he always worked against himself, but now it is different, Yan Song's wings are hard, he has his own ideas, and he dares to argue with himself, which must be intolerable to Zhu Houxi.
The third thing is that Yan Song said something that should not be said: it turned out that one day there was a fire in the Yongshou Palace where Zhu Houxi lived, and the emperor had nowhere to live, but Yan Song casually said that he invited the emperor to live in the South Palace.
You must know that Nangong was the place where Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was placed under house arrest by his younger brother back then, the feng shui is not good, and the accommodation conditions are not good, Zhu Houxi is naturally unhappy when he hears it, this is too unlucky, right?
You must know that Yan Song was very good at figuring out Zhu Houxi's thoughts and pleasing Zhu Houyu before, but what Yan Song did was undoubtedly far from what he did back then, and Zhu Houyi would naturally have conflicts with this previous "friend".
Why did Yan Song make such mistakes one after another? One of the reasons is that he has been in the top position for a long time, and he is used to the days when he is above 10,000 people under one person and is touted by people, and he will inevitably be arrogant in his heart.
The second reason is that Yan Song is also old, he is close to his old age, although he has a smart son to help him, but he can't follow him all the time, and Yan Shifan is also happy and drunk all day long, and he is also arrogant in his heart, and he gradually doesn't care about his father's affairs, so it is normal for Yan Song to make mistakes.
At the same time, the relationship between Xu Jie and Zhu Houyu is getting closer and closer, and he will do many things that make Zhu Houyu happy, and his position in Zhu Houyi's heart is also in an upward trend, which is the process that every minister who competes for favor and power will go through, "The back waves of the Yangtze River shoot the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach" Maybe this is what it means, right?
For example, after the fire in Yongshou Palace, Yan Song said stupid things, but Xu Jie was very smart, he first said that the emperor must not live in the South Palace, and then said that the remaining materials for the construction of the three major palaces were sufficient, and the Yongshou Palace could be repaired within three months, which made Zhu Houxi very happy.
Yan Song was also aware of this situation, so he also took the opportunity of inviting Xu Jie to dinner, and took the whole family to show weakness to Xu Jie, suggesting that Xu Jie should stop fighting with him.
Xu Jie accepted it on the surface, but he kept sneering in his heart: When you killed those loyal ministers and righteous people, how could you ever have the word mercy in your heart?
However, Xu Jie knew that Yan Song's power was still very large, and it would not be easy to eradicate it in one fell swoop, so he and Yan Song had been in a state of stalemate now, just quietly waiting for an opportunity to break out.
At this moment, Peng Yue sent a letter to Xu Jie, the content of the letter was very simple, but Xu Jie found a way to win from it, because Peng Yue's idea was too clear... (To be continued.) )
