Yan Song smiled and said, "East Building, haven't you found it yet?" Since Hong'er fell off the horse at the beginning of last year, her brain has really opened up, and she is often quite disciplined in big and small things. Not to mention the fact that he went to the birthday banquet in the year to see through the assassin's ambush, and captured Zheng Guoqi in the Andingmen murder case. Just say that this time to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, the song is good! The treasury of the heavenly family is empty, and now the border army wants money, and after the battle, they will be rewarded, and at the end of the year, they will be rewarded with honors, where does this money come from? Although the current opening of the sea is just a picture cake, it is also a thought, and with this thought, the heavenly family will look down on our family. Since he can have such insight in big things, what does it matter if some small places are a little out of line? The heavenly family naturally won't agree to him, and will just treat him as a child and laugh at it. What's the big deal about that, and it's worth your anger? ”

Yan Shifan said: "But for the sake of a woman, I have to go to Shandong as a messenger, this is too child's play, don't annoy the heavenly family." ”

Yan Songha said with a smile: "The weather has been hot recently, but your brain in the East Building is not good. If Hong'er doesn't have a little problem, the heavenly family dares to use him? People who are greedy for money and lustful are better in the eyes of heaven than those who love power and are greedy for power. I asked him to say that he was seeking a decree for a woman, and the heavenly family was willing to reuse him. Donglou, you, understand things, are unmatched, and analyze the emperor's criticism, which is three points better than being a father. However, in the matter of Hong'er today, if you talk about figuring out your intentions, you still lose to your father. As for the woman, what is the count? Our Yan family is still afraid of eating with more people? When the money was set aside from the household department, I wrote a letter to Ying Shina and sent the woman to Jingshi. That's it. Don't talk about this kid, he's really like you. He smiled as he spoke.

Yan Shifan also laughed and said, "Father praised it." Speaking of familiarity. Slow to talk about children, look at the context of the military officials. Who can be like you, Father? It's incomparable, it's incomparable. As soon as these words came out, Yan Song burst into laughter.

Looking at his father's smile, Yan Shifan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's so hard to amuse yourself as a dad. Recently, in the court, although the Yan Mansion is still a large number of households, it covers the sky with one hand. However, Xu Jie's party, while still maintaining the appearance of deference, seems to be hiding some movements. These moves. made Yan Song and Yan Shifan a little uneasy.

Especially a few days ago, the Son of Heaven gave the five-color Zhi to Yan Song and Xu Jie, respectively, and asked them to work together to refine the pill for the Son of Heaven. Yan Song suddenly felt that his holy family was no longer there. In the past, this five-color zhi was only for himself, not Xu Jie's share. Now that he is old and his energy is not as good as before, Xu Jie is younger than himself, but in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Xu Jie can already compete with him. I'm afraid it's time to take its place.

Since that day, Yan Song has become thinner and thinner, and his mood has always been depressed. But Xu Jie was still smiling in front of Yan Song. Respectful and peaceful, I can't find a reason to pinch it. Yan Shifan was anxious, after all, his father was a person who was in his seventies and went up to eighty. If you are really suffocated to death like this, the Yan family will really be difficult to handle. Rao is his unparalleled wisdom and resourcefulness in the world. If you want to make Daddy happy, it will become very difficult. I had to deliberately pretend to be stupid and sell a flaw today. It's worth it to make Daddy happy.

Early the next morning, Yan Hong had breakfast. I thought that a few staff members arranged by my grandfather would come to talk about the opening of the sea today. Unexpectedly, Yan Luo came to report first: "Young Master, I said earlier that the one surnamed Yun and the other surnamed Ye have already entered the mansion and waited." ”

Yan Hong was paying attention to the next message delivered by Ye Zhengfei, and hurriedly ordered him to bring it in, and he went to the small living room in front to wait. After a while, I saw Yun Chuqi and Ye Zhengfei walking in and paying homage. The two men were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, more withered and shabby than they had been when they had been assassinated on the ship, and their faces were unkempt. Yan Hong thought to himself, two bosses, I gave you a lot of silver, how did you make it the same as calling Huazi?

And if you look closely, Ye Zhengfei's face is not very good-looking, and he has a thick white cloth wrapped around his arm, which seems to be injured. Yan Hong's heart couldn't help jumping. But if there is something urgent, they will naturally say it. So I hurriedly sat down and served tea. After a while, the tea and snacks were served, Ye Zhengfei didn't care about the heat, he drank it directly into his mouth, and then grabbed the snack and stuffed it into his mouth. Yun Chuqi couldn't look past it, and stabbed him: "Zhengfei, you have been in the Guozijian anyway, don't forget the rules." ”

Yan Hong smiled: "Don't get in the way, I don't have to talk about so many rules here." The two eldest brothers, could it be that they are short-lived? I asked you to come to Beijing to look for Yanfu, but how did you make such a mess? ”

Yun Chuqi arched his hand and said: "Chengyan Gongzi...... Oh, Brother Xian takes care of it, but the two of me have no friendship with the rest of the Yan family, how can I disturb it rashly? All the money sent by the virtuous brother was left to the academy, and the land and building the house over there were basically completed, so the two of us came to serve the virtuous brother. These days the virtuous brother has not come back, although the two of us are still entangled, can be saved, so I slept in the bridge outside the south gate. The clothes are inevitably dirty, ashamed and ashamed. ”

Yan Hong almost squirted out a sip of tea, you two are the staff of my Yan Mansion Changsun, I call you big brother, I didn't let you go to the beggar gang to be two bags of disciples! He turned to Ye Zhengfei and said, "Brother Ye, I don't know how the letter from Shandong was delivered?" ”

Ye Zhengfei shook his head and said: "With the trust of the virtuous brother, it is really faceless. The letter was not delivered, but wounded. ”

Yun Chuqi couldn't help complaining: "Brother Xian, you are bold, but you are inevitably frizzy when you do things. After all, we have suffered a loss, but we must learn a lesson. ”

Ye Zhengfei said: "How can you blame me for this? Dashao only called to Feihu Mountain to send a letter to his good friend, but he didn't say that he would be cut with a knife when he went there! It all shows that the gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, and that martial arts are originally above me, how can I not be scheming? ”

Yan Hong was confused, so he asked them to speak carefully. It turned out that Ye Zhengfei had only been active in Henan and Hebei, but he was not very familiar with Shandong. When he arrived in Shandong, he made several inquiries and learned the approximate location of Feihu Mountain, so he rushed to it. When I was about to arrive, I met a few men. Ye Zhengfei asked them again. The man who was the leader claimed to be He Dayong, the second leader of Flying Tiger Mountain, and asked Ye Zhengfei, what did he do to Flying Tiger Mountain?

Ye Zhengfei is bold and does not do things meticulously. In addition, according to Yan Hong, this is a beautiful thing to send a letter to his lover, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, so he said that he was ordered by Yan Gongzi to write to Miss Sun. He Dayong immediately patted his chest and said that since he had this beautiful thing, he was a guest of the cottage. asked Ye Zhengfei to go with him.

Where did Ye Zhengfei expect that there was fraud? And he gladly followed. I didn't want He Dayong to lead the way to the halfway, and suddenly attacked with a knife, but fortunately, Ye Zhengfei's martial arts were quite foundational, and his body was agile, so he dodged and was not hacked to death with a knife. The two gambled and fought by the other party, after all, the other party's skills were superior. Ye Zhengfei was afraid that the letter would fall into the hands of the other party, so he was busy and tore up the letter and ate it. He only cared about eating letters, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, and under the shroud of the opponent's sword, he accidentally stumbled and fell into the mountain stream.

The other party only thought that he could not escape death, went down to the water's edge to take a look, and did not chase after him. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhengfei's life was not deserved. He was originally a native of Hunan and Chu, and he was proficient in water, but he took the opportunity to float down the river and escaped with his life. Although he survived, he messed up the matter after all. But at this time, Yan Hong didn't know where Lu Dao went, so Ye Zhengfei had to go back to find Yun Chuqi first, deal with the affairs of the academy, and then come to Yan Mansion to defect.

Yan Hong listened to what they said, and said in his heart: Most of this matter is something wrong. He asked, "This He Dayong is the leader of Flying Tiger Mountain, but why did he attack Brother Ye?" ”

Ye Zhengfei said: "When He Dayong pulled out a knife at me, he scolded in his mouth, saying that he was a dog and a cub who wanted to rob his wife......" Speaking of this, Yun Chuqi stomped on him hard, and Ye Zhengfei stopped.

Yan Hongxin said that this letter could not be delivered, and it is no wonder that Sun Yuerong did not know the news and married someone else. It's just that He Dayong said this, but how did Sun Yuerong finally marry that Lei Zhanbiao? Seeing that Ye Zhengfei was injured, he didn't want to be harsh, so he comforted him with a few words of kindness, and asked about the injury. Zhengfei said: "The injury is nothing to hinder, and most of them have healed now." Virtuous brothers don't have to worry about it. ”

Yan Hong had something on his mind, and he didn't have the heart to talk to them in detail, so he asked Yan Luo to arrange for them to rest and prepare the bedroom. He was in the study, waiting for the staff arranged by the Yan Mansion.

A short time later, several staff members came to pay a visit. These are all old masters in Shaoxing, the so-called "Breaking the County Order, Destroying the Door Mansion Yin, and Shaoxing's Master Saiyan King". Shaoxing's staff were first-class and hard-working figures at that time, and the people employed by the Yan family were all among the best, and their knowledge was unparalleled. They are not ordinary Confucian scholars who are bored to study, they are no strangers to the practice of Jiangnan, the situation of opening the sea, and there are ruthless people who have really gone to sea to do trade.

Compared with Xu Wenchang, although they are far beyond the match in terms of wisdom, these people have more first-hand information in terms of specific information related to maritime affairs and trade exchanges. Including the collusion between coastal officials and businessmen, these people are more familiar with each other than Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao. They explained the situation on the southeast coast, which really benefited Yan Hong.

In addition, there are also the correspondence books about the Japanese and the sea ban in the court over the years, and they have also been found for Yan Hong to watch. It involves a lot of unclear backgrounds, unclear meanings, and even places where traditional Chinese characters are not recognized, and there are their own masters to guide them. In this, there are also the folded books about the Japanese Kou that Yan Song had taken back then. Yan Hongxin said, grandpa's story back then is a must-see.

Yan Song's view of this excerpt is the same as that of some scholars and doctors in the country. He believes that it is "the rise of the Japanese Kou, because the people of Fujian and Zhejiang went to the sea to make profits, gathered the disciples and prospered, and then started a wild conspiracy." It has been reported that there are less than 1,000 true widows, all of whom are guided by gangs of bandits in the coastal waters of Zhangwen and Wenzhou, just like the guide of the northern captives. In other words, because someone went to do maritime trade with foreign countries, it caused the Japanese to become a wolf. If you look at it from this aspect, Yan Hong's idea of opening the sea is contrary to his grandfather. (To be continued......)
