"You are Yan Song?" Duan Fei looked carefully at this famous power traitor in history, and saw that he was about forty years old, tall and thin, with a clear face, without the slightest cunning and treacherous appearance as imagined.

Yan Song raised his eyebrows after hearing Duan Fei's words, and replied: "The lower official is Yan Song, how did Lord Duan know the name of the lower official?" ”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "Why does Lord Yan have to see this official?" What else did you say that you would have to wait for a year to wait until the official came back, what is the matter? ”

Yan Song didn't care how Duan Fei knew his name, he replied angrily: "That's just a pretext, Xia Guan is here to recommend himself to Lord Mao Sui today." ”

Duan Fei smiled: "Mao Sui recommended himself? Lord Yan is looking for the wrong person, right? You should ask the emperor to recommend yourself, what's the use of looking for me? Could it be that Lord Yan doesn't want to continue to be an official in the DPRK and China, and plans to join the Jinyi guard? ”

Yan Song said: "No, no, no, the adult misunderstood the lower official, and the lower official came here to ask for his life on behalf of the people of the world." ”

Duan Fei sighed and said, "Lord Yan wants to ask for the life of this official on behalf of the people of the world?" Where does this begin? Lord Yan, please explain. ”

Yan Song felt that Duan Fei's tone was a little ridiculous, and he didn't care, and said solemnly: "Lord Duan has shown his strength in the reform and opening up in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yang and other places, and the results have been remarkable, why don't you promote it and the whole country?" It is for this reason that the lower officials are here, and the lower officials want to ask Lord Duan for their lives on behalf of the people of the world, and ask Lord Duan to propose to the emperor to quickly promote the reform and the whole country, and benefit the people of the world! ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said: "It turned out that for this matter, Lord Yan was so enthusiastic about asking for the lives of the people of the world, but he forgot to consider it for his own official, it is easy to carry out a pilot project in one government and one state, but it is ten times more difficult to promote it, Lord Yan will not want to harm this official, right?" ”

Yan Song hurriedly said: "The lower officials don't dare, it's the lower officials who are not thoughtful, please forgive me, my lord, there are indeed some difficulties in the promotion of reform and the whole country, especially the land reform, which will definitely provoke a great reaction, but the adults also said that it is relatively easy to implement in one prefecture and one state, and the lower officials are not talented, and they are willing to serve the work of the dogs and horses for Lord Duan, and return to their hometown in Jiangxi to promote the benefits of the reform and Jiangxi, and the lower officials implore the adults to support them!" ”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "Do you want to go back to Jiangxi?" It seems that now it is stipulated that you can't go back to your hometown to be an official, right? Lord Yan, are you really thinking about the people, or are you taking the opportunity to be released by an official? This official doesn't know anything about you, so he doesn't dare to entrust you with such a heavy task easily. ”

Yan Song didn't care about Duan Fei's extremely obvious ridicule, he said angrily: "Xia Guan understands the mind of the adult, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, the Xia Guan can wait, as long as Lord Duan remembers that there is such a person as Xia Guan who can be used, Xia Guan has been disturbed for a long time, so he will leave." ”

Yan Song turned around and was about to leave, Duan Fei said: "Lord Yan, go slowly, there is a difficult thing right now, I don't know if Lord Yan dares to stand up and do it......"

Yan Song Huoran turned around, gave Duan Fei a deep bow, and said, "Please show me." ”

Duan Fei said: "Today, Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, suggested to the emperor...... said that the cabinet should be expanded, and the cabinet should be responsible for handling those heavy government affairs, so as to reduce the pressure on the emperor, please Lord Yan analyze it for the official, is this proposal okay? ”

Yan Song was stunned for a moment and then said with surprise on his face: "This matter is promising, Lord Duan, how did the emperor react when he heard this?" ”

Duan Fei said: "The emperor seems to be a little moved, but the official is a little hesitant......"

Yan Song said: "My lord, don't hesitate, strike while the iron is hot, don't rob Guo Xun of this matter, Lord Duan has no Austrian aid in the court, with this proposal, you can not only win the favor of the outer court, but also win the favor of the emperor, this is a clever plan to kill two birds with one arrow, the only thing I am afraid of is the inner court headed by Zhang Rui, why does Lord Duan hesitate?" Isn't it...... Well, I also ask Lord Duan to explain this proposal in detail to the lower officials, and the lower officials will immediately go home and carefully consider it, and write to the emperor tomorrow morning, and the hundred officials in the court will definitely respond to every call, as long as the emperor does not object, this matter can be decided. ”

Duan Fei saw that he was even more excited than himself, and smiled: "Okay, you might as well try, this expansion of the cabinet for the emperor to share the worries of the official still has a rough structure, simply put, it is ......"

Duan Fei probably told Yan Song some of the things he remembered, although it was very simple, and some places were out of place, but Yan Song's eyes lit up when he heard it, this is an excellent opportunity for him, you must know that the outer court has been unable to fight the inner court since Zhu Dijing, Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, if it is according to Duan Fei's suggestion, the new cabinet will completely overwhelm the inner court and become the strongest force under the imperial power, there will be many opportunities to emerge in this battle, and the day when he Yan Song will come out is not far away!

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the outer court can overwhelm the inner court for a short time, half of which is counted on Yan Song's head, in the twenty years of his unauthorized power, Ming Shizong has not been in the court for a few days at all, most of the government is controlled by Yan Song, the new cabinet system is simply a godsend for Yan Song, how can he not grasp the reason?

Duan Fei sent away the excited Yan Song, and after thinking about it, he sent someone to inform Wang Zuo, asking him to pay attention to Yan Song, and send Yan Song's information to him as soon as possible.

The next day, Duan Fei did not participate in the early dynasty, and when the court caused turmoil because of Yan Song's paper, Duan Fei took Yan Song's information and played with it repeatedly.

Yan Song, the word Weizhong, No. Mian'an, etc., born in the sixteenth year of Chenghua (1480), Yuanzhou Prefecture Fenyi County, Hongzhi eleventh year township examination, filial piety Hongzhi eighteen years (1505) will be the second class Jinshi, changed to the Hanlin Academy Shu Jishi, awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit, Xuan Ding Yougui, in his hometown at the foot of the mountain to build the mountain hall secluded and read for 8 years, the book "Shan Tang Collection", and the general compilation of "Zhengde Yuan Yuanfu Zhi", the poetry and writing, the reputation is more and more, the Ming Wuzong Zhengde eleventh year (1516), also reinstated the official, taught in the palace in the study.

Yan Song was born into a Hanshi family. Since he was a child, he learned the sound rhythm, the young man was smart, and many scholars and doctors, including Li Dongyang, the cabinet minister after entering the Hanlin Academy, respected him, Liu Jin was the first assistant to Henan Jiao Fang to squeeze out the Jiangxi people, Yan Song then returned to the country with illness, and lived a poor life in the countryside, Zhengde was also an adjutant in the eleventh year, he criticized the government a lot, cared about the people's suffering, acupuncture current affairs, accused Zhengde of being gullible and misbelieving in the demon monks and demons, etc., and was a clear Qing official who could not be cleared again.

Duan Fei took Yan Song's information in his hand and looked at it again, and couldn't see where this guy's greed and unauthorized power were, but presumably this guy has been in the Hanlin Academy, and he has no chance to embezzle and abuse power at all, or he can't stand the temptation to become a big power traitor after taking a high position, all in all, this Yan Song seems to be a very reliable person now, and there should be no harm to him with him.

"My lord, Master Zhu is here." Jiang Hui, the Taurus pro-guard who came to report to Duan Fei, said with a wink.

Since Shi Bin and a few others were sent to the grassroots level by Duan Fei to exercise, Hua Ming picked four boys who were about the same age as Duan Fei from the brocade guards to serve in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and this Jiang Hui was the most lively one among them.

Now everyone knows that this so-called Master Zhu is Princess Yongfu, she often comes to find Duan Fei, and I don't know what help she has, in short, whenever Master Zhu comes, Lord Duan always looks sad, and everyone likes to see the jokes of the wise and martial Lord Duan.

Hearing that Master Zhu was coming, Duan Fei frowned, put down the information in his hand, and said, "Please let her in." ”

Princess Yongfu walked in with a spring breeze on her face, waved at Duan Fei in a similar manner, and said, "Lord Duan, I have already found out the news you asked me to investigate, how can you reward me?" ”

Duan Fei waved his hand, Jiang Hui and the others hurriedly retreated, and when there were no outsiders in the study, Duan Fei said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has nothing, I really can't think of anything that can enter the eyes of the princess." ”

Princess Yongfu smiled: "Yes, there are many of them, Lord Duan, I heard that you are going to Jiangnan again in the spring, can you take me there?" ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "Abducting the princess out of Beijing, that is a big crime of killing the head, please forgive Weichen for not daring, the princess will either go to ask the emperor for an order, or make another plan." ”

Princess Yongfu pouted and said: "Hmph, I knew you would find an excuse to prevaricate, forget it, the imperial brother himself can't get out of Beijing, how can he have the heart to take care of me, I entered the palace earlier to ask the queen mother for peace, and by the way, I chatted with the imperial sister-in-law, Concubine Shu, guess what did Concubine Niangniang tell me?" ”

Duan Fei asked, "What did she say?" ”

Princess Yongfu said, "She said...... She didn't know why the emperor suddenly snubbed her. ”

Duan Fei waited for a long time to get such an answer, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What is this, this answer is equal to nothing, you little spy doesn't seem to be working." ”

Princess Yongfu said proudly: "Although she didn't tell me anything, but I didn't run for nothing, I overheard the two little palace maids next to her talking, they said that the emperor has never touched the concubine, and the concubine is still perfect." ”

Duan Fei looked at Princess Yongfu with wide eyes, and Princess Yongfu gave him a hot face, and said, "What are you staring at me for?" ”

Duan Fei shook his head, dispelled the idea of ridiculing her, and said, "You overheard what the two palace maids beside Concubine Shu said? Which two palace maids are they? Are the two palace maids brought into the palace by Concubine Shu named Dragonfly and Fluttershy? ”

Princess Yongfu nodded, reminiscing, "It seems to be called Dragonfly and Fluttershy." ”

Duan Fei groaned for a moment, with the shrewdness of Little Dragonfly and Little Fluttershy, it was impossible for someone to overhear such an important matter, it must have been deliberately let the princess hear, they knew that the princess and Duan Fei had a good relationship, and the news would reach Duan Fei's ears sooner or later, I don't know if this was their own idea or Qingqing's idea? He thought for a moment and asked, "Did you notice anything else?" ”
