Is Yan Song going to retire?

Tang Yi had heard this more than once, let alone others. Basically, after the age of seventy, Yan Song said every day that he had passed eighty, and he had not seen him retire.

Will it be true this time? Tang Yi took a closer look, Yan Song was indeed too old, his tall body had become rickety, his face was crawling with age spots, his hair was all white, his bun was only the size of a walnut, and his red scalp could be seen through the sparse silver hair, just like a newborn beast, without hair.

When you are old, the years are not forgiving!

It is also human nature that the people who accompany each other are gone, and they have the intention of retreating.

It's just that Tang Yi doesn't know if the old thing will be willing, and even if someone retreats from the old thing, will Xu Jie, who is eyeing him, agree?

Tang Yi felt that he shouldn't have much to do, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yuan Weng has been in the country for twenty years and has rich experience, Your Majesty can't do without you, and the court can't do without you." ”

Talking about ironing, it's just that Yan Song is old and refined, where will he take it seriously.

"It's the same for everyone in the world to leave, the old man is gone, maybe it will be better, the way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the new generation in the world replaces the old people, and the old man is thirty out of eighty, and he should have retired a long time ago. ”

Yan Song's words revealed infinite loneliness, Tang Yi didn't agree, he didn't agree, he didn't agree, he simply stuffed his head and didn't speak.

Fortunately, after Yan Song sighed twice, the words changed, "Okay, I have long known that you are a cadre, since you served as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, what you have done, the old man is an eye-opener, when it comes to the ability to do things, not to mention the younger generation, looking at the princes of the court, you are also the top, really good!" ”

"Yuan Weng praised it." Tang Yi said humbly: "Xiaguan is ignorant, some things are very inconsiderate, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong, he is really scared!" ”

Yan Song suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, the old man is an official, and he has a little experience, if he doesn't know whether it's right or wrong, he might as well think about it?" ”

"Listen to the teachings!" Tang Yi said respectfully.

"Alas, it's not a teaching, but it's a way to save your life. If a person wants to make a difference, he must first sit firmly in his position and keep his black hat, without his official position, any ambition is an empty talk. Yan Song said with a smile: "It is not the people below who can decide on the black yarn hat, but a few people above, as long as they serve the above well, they can feel at ease." Being an official is nothing more than being a daughter-in-law and hiding it at both ends, and the old man is also a daughter-in-law, but he has the highest seniority. In the family, the biggest is the monarch's father, and only after serving the monarch's father well can he think of the people below, and he would rather wronged his children and grandchildren than wronged his in-laws, do you say this is the reason? ”

"Of course...... No! ”

Tang Yi slandered: "Emperor Lao Tzu is just a person, why with the heart of one person, win the heart of the world, why should he satisfy him in everything, Jiajing spends millions of taels of silver on cultivation every year, if you can use this money in the nine sides, in the southeast, the world will be too peaceful, as the first assistant, as the teacher of a hundred officials, you should represent the people of the world, look at the emperor, and his minions, and fight for the interests of the people, only in this way is the first assistant who barely passes!" ”

Tang Yi suddenly became enlightened, and he finally understood why Yan Song was infamous for eternity and became the first traitor in the Ming Dynasty!

Speaking of which, the old man treats Jiajing with loyalty, obedience, and careful service for decades, just like his ancestors. If it is purely based on loyalty, Yan Song is not only not a traitor, but also a great loyalty!

It's just that the world will not be so shallow, nor will it be so absurd, and the real loyal ministers must be like Yu Qian! Loyal to the people, loyal to the country, loyal to the ancestral law, not one person.

is also greedy for money, in terms of family background, Xu Jie's is still above Yan Song, but why is Xu Jie's evaluation far better than Yan Song, the key is here!

Yan Song forgot his vocation as the first assistant.

Since ancient times, the monarchy and the relative power have never been perfectly integrated, more often than not, they have fought and compromised with each other.

And Yan Song was bent on flattering and made Shoufu the slave of the celebrant eunuch, no wonder the world despised him.

These thoughts flashed in Tang Yi's heart, and they were deeply hidden.

"What Yuan Weng said is that Tang Yi can have today, all of them are given by His Majesty, and the grace of heaven is like a mountain, and it is difficult to repay it!" Tang Yi said with emotion, as if he was really grateful to Jiajing.

Yan Song looked out of the corner of his eye, in Tang Yi's body, he only saw almost religious piety, it seemed that this person was indeed available?

"If you can see this, you will be invincible! People say that the old man has been the first assistant for 20 years by writing green words and slapping horses, and they underestimate the importance of the first assistant! The hundreds of millions of people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, in the final analysis, have to rely on capable people to support them, not to mention anything else, which of the governors in the southeast is not from the old man's door? The old man treats them as if they were national soldiers! ”

But that's not the case with your son!

Tang Yi could see that Yan Song was not lying, most likely he was also deceived by Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan had extorted money over the years, and he had not been stolen from the southeast. Not to mention others, even my father is not immune, before and after, just to deal with the Yan family, it will cost two or three hundred thousand taels of silver every year, and as for Hu Zongxian, the cost is even more.

After Yan Song sighed, he laughed at himself, "Yan Shifan can't do it, don't look at him with his teeth and claws, without the old man, he sits at home, and when someone orders him, he will be finished!" He also boasts that he is the smartest person in the world, and he is far worse than his deeds! ”

Tang Yi was just about to say a few polite words, but Yan Song waved his hand, his face full of seriousness.

"Okay, the old man is telling you this to tell you that the so-called strict party, there are indeed many sycophants, isn't he the same as the Xu party? A raccoon dog, the second brother don't laugh at the big brother. Under the old man, there are also many cadres and ministers, and the country depends on them to support them. ”

Yan Song said this, lowered his voice and said: "Okay, if you want to stand on your own, be your own system, and not be manipulated by Xu Jie, it is not enough to have a holy family, but also to have your own power, especially in the Six Metropolitan Procuratorates, you must have your own people, and you must have your own people to keep the pass of Tingtui, so that you can compete with Xu Huating, and you must be a chess player, not a chess piece!" Even if it is a majestic car, when it is time to give it up, it must be abandoned. Do you know that His Majesty wrote eight words back then: Xu Jie's villain, never use it! Mix with him, there is no good end! ”

The more Yan Song spoke, the faster he spoke, the more anxious he became, with a pair of old eyes, flashing brilliance, as if he could penetrate people's hearts.

A thousand words are condensed into one sentence, that is, if you Tang Yi want to wrestle with Xu Jie, you have to cooperate with my people, you have to protect my people, use my people, and rely on my people!

Yan Song, this is entrusting the orphan!

Someone wants to ask, does Tang Yi have this weight?

Of course!

Tang Yi has worked hard over the years, and in Jiajing, he can at least rank in the top three, plus his teacher Tang Shunzhi enters the cabinet, the master and apprentice join forces, and then absorb the forces of the Yan Party, which is enough to fight with Xu Jie.

In fact, Lao Yan Song's plan is the same idea as the last time he pushed Tang Shunzhi into the cabinet, but this time it is more direct and undisguised.

Doesn't it mean that you can't use the same trick on the master a second time?

That's a saint warrior, not officialdom.

Why can't the tricks that are easy to use repeatedly, Yan Song has seen through it, Tang Yi and Xu Jie are not all the way, they are united because they have a common enemy.

Now Yan Song took the initiative to retreat and promised to hand over the power to Tang Yi.

No man in the sea can withstand the temptation of power!

Yan Song expected that Tang Yi would definitely see through his thoughts, and Yan Song also dared to say that it was useless to see through it, you kid couldn't run out of my palm.

At this time, Yan Song's self-confidence.

Sure enough, Tang Yi was hopelessly moved, he has a close relationship with Xu Jie at the moment, but the initiative is completely in Xu Jie's hands, he wants to use Tang Yi to deal with the Yan Party, and when the Yan Party falls, Xu Jie will turn his face and be ruthless at any time.

Again, only the power in your own hands is truly your own.

Tang Yi was encouraged by Yan Song, and almost nodded, but at the last moment, he still held back. The benefits of taking over the forces of the Yan Party are not small.

But among the Yan Party, the good and the bad are mixed, who knows if there will be a bunch of hedgehogs, and if there is, Yan Shifan will have the handle of these people in his hands, and when the time comes, listen to himself openly and do things for Yan Shifan secretly, that is "happy to be a father"!

Tang Yi felt that he had to think carefully and weigh it carefully.

"Yuan Weng's lesson, Xia Guan has memorized every word in his heart, and he will definitely figure it out carefully. By the way, the lower officials are here, and His Majesty also sent the imperial pen, which was given to the old lady, please take a look at the old lady. ”

As he spoke, Tang Yicong took out a delicate wooden box and placed it in front of Yan Song, Yan Song trembled his hands, unfolded it and took a look, four thin gold characters: demure and benevolent!

When Yan Song saw these four words, his old eyes were red, how well he wrote, it was the epitome of his old wife's life, when he thought of his wife, Yan Song couldn't help crying bitterly, and couldn't help it.

There was no taste for staying any longer, Tang Yi came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a stomach full of melancholy. got into the carriage and went to the palace to hand in the decree, Jiajing didn't say anything, and sent Tang Yi out.

What kind of trick is this?

On the way back from Tang Yi, he kept thinking about it, Jiajing asked him to go to Yan's mansion to express his condolences, most likely to test Yan Song's understanding and ignorance?

Lao Yan Song may have also seen through Jiajing's meaning, so he said to himself what he wanted to do and entrust Gu.

Thinking of this, Tang Yi's head is messed up, it's really brain-burning, I fully believe that any party will be fooled and become someone's gun!

Yan Song, Xu Jie, Jiajing...... What the hell are they playing again?

Is there any more trouble?

Let the storm come harder!

Tang Yi was in a bad mood, he had just arrived at the mansion, Sun Keyuan was waiting in the gatehouse, and when he saw Tang Yi coming back, he hurriedly ran over.

"Master, Hu Dashuai is here!"

"Huh? Why did Hu Zongxian come? ”

Tang Yi was taken aback, hurriedly ran to the living room, and saw Hu Zongxian walking around anxiously with his hands in his hands. After a few years of hard work, he is much older than he was at the beginning, and the hair on his sideburns is all gray, but his waist is still straight.

Seeing Tang Yi, he ran over in three steps and two steps, grabbing Tang Yi's hand.

"Okay, my brother came to you for help, you must not stand idly by!" (To be continued.) )
