Yan Hong stayed until the afternoon, and when the Jinyi Guard Yamen got off work, he went straight back to Yan's Mansion and reported to Yan Song and Yan Shifan that Lu Bing was going to take him to see the Son of Heaven. Yan Song nodded and said: "This time you go to Xuanda, although it is Yang Bobao's Qincha, but the Heavenly Family also has Lu Bing's advice, so you should always give an explanation to the Heavenly Family." The war between the Ming army and the Tartars, you just have to say it according to the chapter. This is all seen by the Heavenly Family. Some illegal things that Yang Shun did in Xuanda, you can talk about it lightly, you don't need to deliberately conceal it, but you don't have to deliberately exaggerate it. Remember one thing, since Yang Shun has already died in the Xuan War, he is a literati overseer and loyal to the country, then this is a handsome man covering up a hundred ugliness, and it is easy to explain to the heavenly family. It's the days of the royal family that the heavenly family wants you to check, don't just talk about the rich and the poor, but also list a few ideas you think. Otherwise, if you say it and add troubles, it will be no good, and you may be caught by people with ulterior motives to make a fuss. ”

Yan Hong said: "Grandpa said yes. Speaking of the situation of the clan, the child thought about these points roughly, and asked his grandfather for advice. So he explained his train of thought. Yan Song said: "This idea is good. Hong'er, if you have this talent, tomorrow night's reception at the heavenly family, there is no need to worry. Just remember that not all of the ideas you have come up with are really useful, and they don't have to be practical and executable. As long as it is generally reliable, the important thing is to make the heavenly family feel that you are with him, and this is the best response. Yan Hong said: "Thank you grandfather for your teaching." ”

Speaking of which, now Yan Hong has become the first-class celebrity in front of Emperor Jiajing. In just two years, this is the fourth time that the Heavenly Family has summoned him. You must know that Long Live Lord has not been in court for many years, let alone been privately summoned by him. Come to think of it. Yan Hong sometimes couldn't help but sigh. I made all these efforts. I probably added a lot of points to the emperor's impression of Yan Mansion. I just don't know, relying on these, is it enough to redeem the bad luck of the Yan Mansion that I don't know when it will befall my head?

By the afternoon of the next day, Yan Hong went to the Jinyi Guard Yamen as agreed. This time, Lu Bing was no longer in the car, only the coachman beckoned Yan to get in the car. Subsequently, Yan Hong was once again received by the familiar carriage to Lu Bingkai's Zhiweixuan.

Thereupon. Yan Hong, the eldest grandson of Yan Song, the first assistant of the dynasty, appeared in front of Emperor Jiajing for the fourth time. What made Yan Hong's eyes light up a little was that this time he was summoned, and Emperor Jiajing's face seemed to be a little fatter. The snacks and fruits on the table are also slightly richer than the previous ones. Yan Hong couldn't help but think of the complaint that Emperor Jiajing sent him when he was summoned for the first time: Your Uncle Zhu is very poor, and he can't afford to put up those vain scores, and there is nothing to eat. It seems that Emperor Jiajing's pocket this time is a lot bulging than before, and he can be more generous in his hospitality. Come to think of it. Yan Hong couldn't help but secretly feel a little proud.

Triumphant, in front of the emperor. Don't dare to hold it up. Yan Hong was respectful as usual, knelt down and kowtowed, and met the old immortal. After getting up, seeing Emperor Jiajing smiling, he said boldly: "Old immortal, boy, look at the old immortal this time, the spirit seems to be better than last time, I don't know what kind of self-cultivation magic is there." If you can teach the boy one or two, let the boy take it back to honor his grandfather, it will also fulfill the boy's filial piety. ”

This flattery almost made the old eunuch Huang Jin on the side vomit nauseously. Emperor Jiajing listened to it in his ears, but it was very beautiful, and he smiled: "Okay, you are a boy with good words, the old man has a good look, and half of it depends on your filial piety." Come, let's talk about it, how much silver did you bring to the old man this time? ”

Yan Hong's face changed, and he hurriedly kowtowed again: "If you go back to the old immortal, the kid is incompetent, this time I went to Xuanda, and I didn't bring back the silver to the old immortal." However, some furs, porcelain, and gold and silver utensils are a little thought. It has also been handed over to the father-in-law of the Imperial City. In addition, the red envelopes sent by the local government also have tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets. These are not the right way, if the old fairy wants, the kid will come back and be filial. ”

Emperor Jiajing actually stepped forward, patted Yan Hong's head and said: "That's it, those silver tickets are what you deserve for your hard work, no matter how poor I am the old fairy, I will not pick the silver from between the teeth of your descendant." Speaking of which, the first time you saw me, you offered me a plan to open the sea, and the second time you saw me, you offered millions of taels of silver from the White Lotus Sect bandits to Neku; When he saw me for the third time, he had more than one million taels of life-saving silver that Wang Zhi offered. This time I sent you to Xuanda, which was originally a border court, and for a long time, only the bitter soldiers and Tartars worked hard, and I didn't expect you to dig up a white lotus treasure or Genghis Khan's tomb again. It seems that you really don't have much to make money, so just say a few beautiful words to prevaricate my old man. But do you know that you are fighting such a victory in Xuanda, old man, I have to pay a sum of money to come out to sacrifice the army, this thing is too unusual. ”

Yan Hong felt like he had been struck by lightning under the white and thin palm of Emperor Jiajing, and he was speechless for a while. Emperor Jiajing saw his embarrassment, laughed again, and returned to his seat and sat down: "Brother Lu, sit down, boy, sit down too." The old man is joking with you. Relying on the good things you went out to do a few times ago, now the old man's inner treasury is still sufficient, and he will not be poor for a while. It's just that this time you went to Xuanda, why did you move the head of a Xuanda governor? I heard that he is still the adopted son of your grandfather Yan Song, how can you be a nephew, stepping on your uncle's corpse and wanting to be promoted? ”

Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Old immortal, boy, I have never been able to write or fight, and I can't fight. Just with some loyalty to the heavenly family, I thought about rewarding the front-line officers and soldiers and went to Malian Fort. Who knew that this news was given to the Tartars by the White Lotus Cultists, so the Tartars mobilized tens of thousands of iron horsemen to besiege the Malen Fort. If it weren't for Ma Fang and Yu Dayou working hard to kill the enemy, and outside my uncle Yang Shun and all the officers and soldiers of Xuanda worked hard to break the siege, I was afraid that the old fairy would give the boy a blessing, and the boy would not have shared it. It's a pity that my uncle Yang Shun was shot with a poisoned arrow by a Tartar in the chaos in order to save me, and he was carried back within half a day...... Hey, although my uncle was killed by the Tartars, this is indeed the incompetence of the boy, which caused my uncle to die in front of the battle in order to save me. Please also ask the old gods to punish them. ”

Before Emperor Jiajing could speak, Huang Jinxian came to say: "Yo, it seems that Yang Shun is really loyal to Yan Ge Lao." In order to save the grandson of the Yan Mansion, he actually risked his own life. Where is this uncle and nephew, Yan Gongzi, what do you say? ”

Huang Jin's words are quite vicious. Yan Hong said that Yang Shun died in battle to save him, which was a perfunctory official saying, saying that he put a high hat on Yang Shun, and by the way, he also vaguely said that he actually forced Yang Shun to die. As a result, this sentence was caught by Huang Jin. In the feudal era, the most important thing was the size of the people, and the order of respect and inferiority. Speaking of the battlefield alone, if the younger generation struggles to save the elders, it can be said to be filial piety. The elders are struggling to save the younger generations, which can be said to be the love of licking calves. However, Yang Shun, as Yan Song's adopted son, in order to save Yan Hong, the head of the Yan Mansion who was a generation lower than him, did not even want his own life. This kind of thing has to be speculated in a sinister place, and it can even be said that this is Yan Song's control of his henchmen, forming a relationship similar to that between monarchs and ministers. In this way, Yan Song, the political group, was raised to a level of confrontation with imperial power, which can be described as a taboo among the emperors in the feudal era. Since ancient times, the reason why the collusion between civil and military forces is easy to be suspicious is that it is worried about the integration of civil and military forces and breaking the emperor's monopoly and division of power. Now, if the governor of Xuanda is as loyal to the head of the dynasty as a courtier is to the monarch, then Yan Song is going to rebel?

When Lu Bing heard Huang Jin say this, his face changed slightly, and when he was about to interject, Yan Hongxian said with a straight face: "Mr. Huang is wrong. The reason why Uncle Yang died in a bloody battle was not to save me, an unsuccessful grandson, but to save the Qincha of the Heavenly Family Sect. I think that I, Yan Hong, am just a twenty-one-year-old gentleman, although my official position is a fourth-grade servant and a fifth-grade Shaoqing, how can I get into the eyes of the governor of Xuanda? If it is only based on the friendship of uncle and nephew, Yang Junmen only needs to send a general to rescue. In front of my grandfather and father, he must save me, the nephew who is not a weapon, and he should also strategize and seek stability. The reason why Uncle Yang personally led the standard battalion to fight in front was for the royal order banner given by the Heavenly Family, and for the prestige of the Qincha sent by the Great Son of Tomorrow! The old immortal also knows that although my Ming border army is fierce, compared to the Tartars, it lacks a murderous aura after all. Needless to say, 10,000 against 10,000, most field battles are difficult to win. The reason why Yang Junmen charged forward was to use his own enthusiasm to inspire the morale of the border army, which was better than the Tartars. Similarly, why did Ma Fang personally lead 2,000 cavalry and fight a bloody battle with 5,000 Tartar cavalry? Then why did Yu Dayou lead a battalion of 2,000 cars out of the city to fight with thousands of Tartar cavalry? Why was Ma Lu seriously injured and forced to lie in the car, and the command post department rushed to Malianbao to rescue? This is all because the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and all the civil and military families have the heart to repay their kindness and dare to die, so they give up their lives and forget their deaths and strive to fight with the Tartars. My Uncle Yang was unfortunately poisoned with arrows, which is certainly a loss to the country, but in himself, he must have stained the battlefield with blood for the sake of his heavenly family, and he also felt worthy of the martyrdom of the court members! It's just that this has become the sin of the kid, and when I went back, my grandfather had already scolded me, so the old fairy wanted to punish me severely, and I was also willing. ”

Emperor Jiajing was slapped by Yan Hong's turn of the horse, and he smiled and couldn't close his mouth: "Okay, the Xuanda soldiers are worthy of the elite soldiers of the national dynasty, so brave, then Yang Shun is worthy of being the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not embarrass the old man." But boy, how did the old man hear that Yang Shun's hands and feet were a little unclean when he was in Xuanda? Have you checked this? ”

Yan Hong nodded and said: "The old immortal has seen thousands of miles, my uncle Yang Shun, if he is a virtuous minister with clean sleeves, it is a bullying and nonsense." To tell you the truth, as far as the kid knows, my Uncle Yang has been in the side court for several years, and he has been greedy for more than 100,000 dollars of ink and silver. Sometimes the rewards in the army were intercepted by him, and sometimes even the military salaries and rations were consumed by him. He also shielded private traders and extracted oil and water from them. If it is based on the law alone, it should be dismissed and sent to prison. With a slight sentence here, he has already reduced the amount of property that Yang Shun embezzled several times. The mouth is full of voices, but in fact, he is already releasing water secretly.

Emperor Jiajing's face was covered with a layer of frost: "Since he is such a person, how can Yan Song of your family accept him as a righteous son and entrust him with the important task of Xuanda?" (To be continued......)
