Chapter 634: Madness
Yuan Wei died, as a famous favorite of the Son of Heaven, in less than two years, Yuan Wei suddenly became a noble cabinet scholar, Yuan Wei got up fast and fell down faster.
Silently, no one even attended his funeral, it was desolate and cold, and Jiajing didn't say a word, but just made a will that Yuan Wei's son would be buried with no courtesy.
Twenty years of sycophants, the same flattery as the ancestors, just changed to such an end, Yuan Wei is certainly at fault, but Jiajing's ruthlessness is even more shocking and chilling.
Although Yuan Wei died quietly, for the court situation, it was not calm at all, on the contrary, he dropped a shock bomb.
As King Jing went mad and Yuan Wei died violently, King Yu became the heir to the empire, and there was no more objection. Above the court, the competition between the two factions of King Yu and King Jing withdrew from the stage.
The more unique it is, the more difficult it is to deal with himself, Tang Yi was unable to meet King Yu because of the case, but he still wrote a long letter and sent it to Gao Gong, stating his views in detail.
It is recommended that Yuwang Taoguang cultivate obscurity, do not fight in everything, abide by the proportions of his sons, regulate his body, take care of his son, and it is best to have a few more babies, which is useful than how many ministers he has wooed.
You are already the de facto prince, you still fight, you still want to seize the emperor's power?
Gao Gong received Tang Yi's letter, sweating, since the fall of King Jing, many ministers have taken the initiative to contact him, and some people have taken advantage of the excuse of Guozijian's good grades to promote Gao Gong to the imperial court, saying that he is only a scholar of the world, he is a capable minister in the world, and he should reuse Yunyun......
Gao Gong was still a little excited, but after reading Tang Yi's letter, he was completely calm, if it wasn't for the time when you came out, you shouldn't have come out.
After Gao Gong's persuasion, coupled with King Yu's lazy temperament, he simply closed the palace, did not see outsiders, and concentrated on being his otaku.
King Yu and King Jing withdrew, and after the field was cleared, the power of the court became clearer, and the Yan Party and the Xu Party had reached the juncture of the final decisive battle.
Both sides were brewing their next move, the closed door of the Yan Mansion was finally opened, and Yan Song barely recovered from his grief a month after losing his wife, but his eyes were spent, his ears were deaf, his back was more and more curved, and his speech was reversed.
Life is inseparable from people for a moment.
Anyone who sees Yan Song like this will feel desolate, shake his head and sigh, how can he take on the great responsibility of the prime minister of the empire!
Yan Song's godsons and grandsons were all depressed, and they were all like frosted eggplants, and they couldn't lift their spirits at all.
I heard Wan Yu sigh: "Donglou Gong, why did the old man look like this?" We people look distressed! ”
"Yes, yes, Ge Lao is a big tree that shelters from the wind and rain, if Ge Lao has a mistake, what can we do?" Dong Fen whispered, and there were tears in his eyes, and everyone else was worried.
Yan Shifan looked at their demoralized virtues, and he was angry. Lao Tzu is not finished yet, you are in a hurry to cry and mourn, what a bunch of waste, rice bucket!
Yan Shifan walked around on the ground, thought about it again and again, and suddenly let out a strange laugh like a night owl, and the people who listened to it were terrified.
Wan Yu hurriedly asked, "Donglou Gong, do you have an idea?" ”
"Idea? I have already thought of eighteen sets, just see how to use them! Yan Shifan smiled proudly: "Do you know why I let Tang Yi check the matter of the Santai ticket number?" ”
Wan Yu and Cai Yuncheng were in charge of this matter, and they frowned deeply and raised their heads blankly.
"What a fool!" Yan Shifan secretly said in his heart, he smiled proudly, "It's okay to tell you, it's a pity that there is a way to get rich." ”
Although the catastrophe was coming, out of instinct, as soon as I heard that I was making money, I came to the spirit, and I pricked up my ears one by one and listened carefully.
Yan Shifan enjoyed being worshiped by everyone very much, and that feeling was too comfortable, as if he was still a little pavilion elder in the middle of the day, and he tasted it for a while, until everyone couldn't help it, and Yan Shifan laughed and solved the mystery.
You can earn several times the benefits in a year, even the most prosperous silk textile can not do, only through financial means, in order to make the fastest money.
When debating the market division, Tang Yi once put forward the idea of arbitrage of gold and silver differences, but at that time, the sea was not quiet and there were difficulties in operation, so it was shelved.
Many ministers regarded it as a joke, but Yan Shifan didn't see it that way, he felt that this was a godsend.
After going back, Yan Shifan pondered hard, and sent people to Japan to explore the way, after three failures, not to mention, it really let Yan Shifan open up the trade route, he bought a Japanese daimyo, and incorporated two groups of Japanese robbers, and made a caravan of more than a dozen ships.
They were hung under the name of Wang Zhi, but secretly under the control of Yan Shifan, they chose to go to sea in Dengzhou, and each time they carried valuable raw silk, porcelain, and expensive luxury goods, some of which were given to the daimyo of the Japanese kingdom, and some of which were traded locally, all of which were settled in gold, and at the same time sold silver in exchange for gold.
At first, you can earn 30,000 or 40,000 taels of gold at a time, and at most there are more than 100,000 taels at a time, these gold are transported to Jiangnan through the Santai ticket number, exchanged for silver, and then go to the Wa Kingdom, and the cycle repeats, in a few years, Yan Shifan got as much as seven or eight million taels, and more than one million taels were given to Jiajing, and hundreds of thousands of taels were scattered to the inner court Zhujue, and the rain and dew were all stationed, and the real big heads were left in the hands of Yan Shifan.
Yan Shifan wanted to keep this secret in his heart all the time, but when it came to life and death, he had to reveal it in order to boost the morale of the army.
Who knew that after he finished speaking, everyone present was like a ghost, their eyes widened and they didn't dare to speak.
"What, are you all stupid?" Yan Shifan roared angrily.
Cai Yuncheng shivered, his facial features shrank together, as if he had eaten bitter melon, and lamented: "Donglou Gong, how can you get through?" ”
The others were also so sad that they almost cried.
In Jiajing's eyes, many gnashing of teeth crimes are not taken seriously, such as greed for ink, he thinks that no official is not greedy, no one is not greedy, the so-called clear stream, not greedy for money but greedy for fame, or even more hateful.
But there are some charges that Jiajing can't bear, and Tongwu is one of them.
Because the raging Japanese invaders broke Jiajing's dream of Zhongxing, and the little Japanese invaders dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing decided that there was an internal ghost.
Therefore, all the crimes of complicit and widowhood are a dead end when they come to Jiajing, and the higher the official position, the faster they will die.
Wan Yu, Dong Fen, and Cai Yuncheng looked at each other with suspicion, and said in their hearts, Isn't Xiao Ge Lao smart, how can he be confused for a while?
The things that are going to be shaken out, do you still want to live?
was collectively doubted by his subordinates, Yan Shifan almost burst into anger, you pig heads, how do you know my methods?
"How about the tongwu, if you have the ability, you will check? Let me tell you, I'm not the only one doing this business, Tang Yi is also doing it, and he has more money than me, Xu Huating is not a vegetarian, and their family even bypassed the market and secretly smuggled silk to the Wa Kingdom? Lift them all up and see if it's as black as a crow in the world? ”
Yan Shifan ignored the stunned crowd and laughed wildly, "How about Zhu Houxi, he also has to point to this money to cultivate, more than one million taels!" He made money by doing business with the Japanese invaders, but let the soldiers of the world resist the Japanese and killed them with rivers of blood and corpses, you say it is ridiculous or not, sarcastic or not? ”
"Yan Shifan!"
Xiao Ge Lao, who was proud, was coldly surprised that an inkstone was smashed by the wind, he subconsciously turned his head, just wiped his forehead, and suddenly blood flowed out.
Yan Shifan looked up suddenly, just in time to see his father's eyes red, pressing the table, supporting his body hard, and his shoulders kept shaking, as if he would fall down at any time. threw an inkstone, which had consumed most of Yan Song's physical strength, and he was left with a big gasp of breath and couldn't say a word.
Wan Yu and the others were startled, and hurriedly ran over to support Yan Song.
"Godfather, you have to take care of your body!"
"Yes, if you have something to say, don't be angry."
……
You say a word, I say a word, keep persuading, but no one cares about Yan Shifan, he is full of violent anger and seduces out. Laughed cruelly.
"Dad, you keep beating your son, even if you beat him to death, it's just right, but if your son wants to say, if I don't plan for you and shelter you from the wind and rain, who can shelter you from the wind and rain? If I hadn't worked hard to maintain it, how would the great power have come about? Who am I doing this for? ”
Yan Shifan's stomach was full of grievances, he howled angrily, Yan Song's beard trembled with anger, and finally gasped, and sneered: "Yan Shifan, you don't know your own weight too much?" You shelter me from the wind and rain, I tell you! In this world, only the emperor can call the wind and rain, and the only one who can shelter from the wind and rain is your father! It's just me! ”
The green tendons on Yan Song's neck protruded, and his voice was urgent and fast, "You idiot, and your minions, you can only provoke the wind and rain, think about it with your head, at this time, you still implicate the emperor, and dare to implicate Tang Yi and Xu Jie, you see that our family is living too comfortably, why don't you take a knife and kill us all one by one!" ”
After the attack, Yan Song sat on the chair, panting heavily, and his old face was purple and terrifying.
Yan Shifan was not convinced, he stiffened his neck and argued: "Why don't you implicate Tang Yi and Xu Jie, how many good things have they done to us?" Usually the two things are gentle and frugal, and they look like humble gentlemen, but how many disgusting things they have done in secret, only they know it? The first hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Xu Jie's family were all obtained in the past 20 years. Tang Yi is even more amazing, the business of the traffic line is all over the north and south of the river, and the oil and water he catches every year is no worse than Lao Xi'er. Also, our Emperor Jiajing is hiding in Xiyuan, bent on cultivating, and this country is not supported by me. Say I'm greedy for ink, I only take what I should take! What is really insatiable is the people of their Zhu family, so many vassal kings, which one is not hundreds of thousands of acres of land, fat and oil, but they still need the court's Yulu to support, and if they are less, they will cry and make trouble. Internal and external troubles, which one is caused by us? It's good, it's not good, tear your face, everyone is done, I want to see, which of them dares to play with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will accompany him to the end! (To be continued.) )
