Chapter Seventy-One: The One-Eyed Dragon's Ambition

Yan Hu is also used to being domineering at home, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, so he lost his mind for a while. Yan Shifan scolded with a bastard, and he also realized that the occasion for what he said was wrong, but unfortunately he couldn't get back what he said, so where would he dare to defend himself.

Yan Shifan scolded angrily: "After drinking a few more cups of yellow soup, you dare to talk nonsense? Are you not afraid of losing your identity and losing the face of Yan Fu? Go back to the back house and sober up! ”

Yan Hu hurriedly answered, lowered his head and walked away quickly.

That Lu Bing didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just watched coldly as the father and son of the Yan family took turns to ask questions. But Yan Hu said this meaty sentence, and after being driven back by his father, no one spoke on the field for a while. Although the interrogator is silent, the interrogator has nothing to say.

Seeing that the trial was deadlocked, Yan Hong decided to break the ice by himself to ease the embarrassing atmosphere. So he spoke: "Grandfather, father, according to the child, these thugs are not the murderers who tried to kill me. ”

Yan Shifan squinted at him with one eye and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Yan Hong said: "These murderers dare to enter the house to assassinate Shoufu, not only are they bold, but they are also strong in martial arts. Imagine, when the child was running a horse in the suburbs, there were only a few relatives around him. If these gang make you want to harm me, with their martial arts, directly kill me, I am also more than lucky, why do you want to remove the horseshoe nail and engage in these lucky deeds? Therefore it must have been theirs in the child's sight. My Yan Mansion has always been strict in handling things, and this gang of murderers deserves death, but we will not give them some charges of nothingness. The big thief should also take it, and the small thief should not try to get by. ”

As soon as he said this, Yan Song and Yan Shifan couldn't help but nod. Yan Shifan said: "What about your opinion? ”

Yan Hong said: "In the humble opinion of a child, my Yan Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, in charge of national affairs, sharing worries for the Son of Heaven, and seeking benefits for all the people." As for adjudicating cases, it is not our strength. Since these thieves refused to eat and toast in Yan's mansion and preferred to go to Jinyiwei to suffer, it was better to kill them first before handing them over to Lu Shibo for disposal. How to torture and extract confessions, presumably Lu Shibo has his own means. On our side, we just need to come up with a charter. This is called every man doing his duty and each according to his strengths. ”

Yan Shifan listened, and was about to say something, but Lu Bing, who had been silent, opened his mouth:

"Yes, according to the sins of these thieves, a thousand knives deserve it. It's just that today is a good day for the old lady, and this is also the old mansion, and the punishment is not very good, if you don't pay attention to killing a few, it will cheapen them. It is better to put them in prison and interrogate them slowly. ”

As soon as he saw Lu Bing open his mouth, Yan Song also nodded and said, "Then since this is the case, everything is arranged by Governor Lu." ”

Lu Bingdao: "Obey the orders of the elder of the Yan Pavilion. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, take away all these bold murderers." So a group of Jinyi officials escorted Mo, Hong, and other assassins out of Yan's mansion. Na Rou Niang was still unconscious, and asked two people to carry her away. Yan Hong couldn't help but secretly admire Bao Chan's strength, but he was also a little worried, such a fierce royal sister, if she was really forcibly allowed to be in my room by the old lady, would she be able to eat her in the future? Are the late mother and Shen'er bullied by her?

Although the prisoner was escorted away, Lu Bing sat in the hall surrounded by four attendants beside him and never left.

At this moment, the captured prisoners and the Jinyi Guard Brigade, including the Yan Mansion Family, have all retreated. The people sitting in this hall can be said to be the henchmen or allies of the Yan family. Everyone understands that the so-called interrogation of the Assassin is nothing more than a formality.

The point is not what the assassins want to say, but what the Yan family wants them to say.

Seeing that the outsiders had retreated, Yan Shifan sneered and said:

"Now that there are no outsiders here, I have something to say. This time, Governor Lu is afraid that he will have to put more effort into it. When the first assistant was assassinated, it was not trivial. I am afraid that this matter has already been stormy in the city at this time, and the eyes of all parties are focused on this matter, so it must be handled well. ”

Lu Bingdao: "I don't know what the old man of the small pavilion thinks? ”

Yan Shifan blinked proudly, stretched out a finger and shook it: "These live mouths that we hold today are our first opportunity." They want to assassinate my Lord Yanfu, but we want to borrow them to move the stumbling block! Since Hongji was born in Zeng Mill's personal army, he came to assassinate my father, and it was naturally arranged at the instigation of the remnants of Zeng Mill's family. Then of course, Zeng Mill's evil seed has nothing to do with this matter, and it must be arrested and held accountable. And these people are assigned to Chenggu, Shaanxi, and the officials in Shaanxi are inseparable. If there is no one to guard and steal inside, how dare the thief be so arrogant? ”

Lu Bing didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and he didn't move his fingers, just glanced at Yan Shifan, with a posture of "you continue".

Yan Shifan's thick lips rolled, and the more he spoke, the more proud he became:

"Such a shocking case, if there is no collusion between the DPRK and China, how can it be planned and moved? These thieves were able to enter the Beijing Division, where did they get the way to open the evidence? Who in Beijing answered for them? Who's behind this? According to my thoughts, today's birthday banquet, the officials in Beijing who did not come to congratulate my mother on her birthday are probably inextricably linked! ”

In the last sentence, Yan Shifan's originally low voice suddenly rose to the top, and his face trembled, looking a little hideous.

When these words were spoken, several people in the hall were shocked. When Yan Hong heard this, his heart was lying in more than one groove.

This one-eyed dragon Lao Tzu is too ruthless. People who didn't come to celebrate their birthdays in person today won't let go? You must know that among the people who did not come today, there are civil officials such as Xu Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Du, and the big guys such as the imperial history of the left and right of the Imperial Palace, if you count their disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s, the officials in the six departments, the thirteen supervising imperial history, and the six departments are medium, I am afraid that there are more than sixty or seventy people; Among the generals, Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, and his younger brother Zhu Xixiao were only courteous.

All this is counted, are you going to wipe out all the Manchurians?

When the other people heard Yan Shifan say this, they gradually understood what he wanted to do. Although Yan Shifan's words were arrogant, it was relatively clear who his sword was pointing at.

The second assistant Xu Jie is the largest group leader outside of Yan Song's family, but he has not openly opposed Yan Song at present. Moreover, Xu Jiehu has many people, lush branches and leaves, and has a solid foundation, even if these assassins bite him, they must not be brought down. So Yan Shifan didn't plan to kill Xu Jie by really relying on this.

His real purpose is Wu Shan of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Chun of the Ministry of Households, and the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Wu Shan is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, although he is not like the Ministry of Officials, who can be in charge of the promotion and demotion of hundreds of officials, but he is responsible for the national imperial examination, culture and education, and the local government schools, state schools, county schools, health schools and even Guozijian are all under the management of the Ministry of Rites. That is to say, these political bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, although they will be divided into factions and set up mountains after embarking on their official careers, but before they embark on their official careers, they are all within the scope of the management of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is naturally easy to support their own power among future officials. Not to mention the officials who were born in Jinshi, the body and ministry licenses were issued by the Ministry of Rites rather than the Ministry of Officials, so the Ministry of Rites was regarded as a first-class noble yamen.

The household department is the money bag of the imperial court, and its importance is self-evident. Now Yan Song has taken the Ministry of Labor, which spends money, in his hands, and if he reaches a unity with the Ministry of Households, he will simply directly control the lifeblood of the imperial court.

As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was responsible for criticizing the government and impeaching officials, it was a famous mad dog concentration camp in the Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of life-playing imperial histories are concentrated there, and their eyes are bigger than eggs all day long, staring at hundreds of officials to find faults, and when they find stubble, they strip off their arms and scold, scolding you for being born as a Buddha and Nirvana as a Buddha, scolding you for being disgraced at best, and ruining your reputation at worst. Over the years, from vassal kings to local officials, who has not been impeached by them? Therefore, if anyone can completely control the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then in the event of a political struggle, they can simply drown the opponent directly by overwhelming the number of bullets, or at least they can toss the opponent to exhaustion.

The two Shangshu of rites and households have always been close to Xu Jie, but they are not against the Yan family. I'm afraid that Yan Shifan will deal with these two Shangshu this time. As for the imperial history of the left and right capitals of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, it is to beat rabbits with grass. As long as one of these three places can cause substantial results, the Yan family's power in the imperial court will be further advanced, and those who may threaten the Yan family will take a step back.

After seeing Xiao Ge Lao's plan, some of the strict henchmen bowed their heads in contemplation, and some exchanged their heads. After a while, they also began to express their high opinions. Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, took the lead and echoed:

"What Xiao Ge Lao said is exactly. According to Wenhua, today's matter is inseparable from Wu Shan and Fang Blunt. And that Wu Lao'er holds himself as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, no one in his eyes, opening his mouth is the system of the national dynasty, and closing his mouth is the ancestral etiquette, and he has repeatedly embarrassed the old man, and he is also quite disrespectful to the saint. Before, some courtiers were dissatisfied with the will of the saint, and wrote to King Jing to go out to become a vassal, which was the head he picked, and this old man couldn't stay. ”

Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although he is an official in terms of rank, is the top boss of Yan Shifan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry. But in fact, he is just a lackey attached to Yan Ge Lao, and he is just an echo worm who only looks forward to Yan Shifan's horse. As one of Yan Song's godsons, although Zhao Wenhua is an official in the sixth department, in Yan Hong's ontological memory, in addition to coming to Yan's mansion to give gifts and pat Yan Song on the back for many months as an adult, the only impression of him is that what Yan Shifan supports, he will always support; What Yan Shifan opposes, he will always oppose, and the others have no impression at all.

Today, for the first time, Yan Hong heard something interesting from Zhao Shangshu's mouth.

At that time, Emperor Jiajing only had two sons still alive, one was King Yu and the other was King Jing. Neither of these sons was born to a younger son, and King Yu was a little older.

It stands to reason that Emperor Jiajing is not young, and for the future stability of the empire, he should choose one of his two sons as the crown prince, just in case he has an heir to take charge of the empire when he has braids. However, Emperor Jiajing was reluctant to establish a prince. Not only that, but he also raised his two sons in Beijing, so as to form a situation where the two kings stood side by side, and deliberately kept the heir in suspense.

Although this made the spectators very happy, it greatly displeased the courtiers. For this reason, those ministers who are loyal and virtuous have repeatedly asked the emperor to establish a prince. Some people even directly asked Emperor Jiajing to let his youngest son King Jing leave the capital and return to the fiefdom. They wanted to use this method to confirm the status of King Yu's heir in disguise. Emperor Jiajing ignored them, but this positive promotion still made the Yan Mansion quite dissatisfied.

What Zhao Wenhua advocated was to take the opportunity to get rid of Wu Shan, the leader of these ministers, in order to pull out the potential threat that hindered Yan Song's faction.
