Chapter 425: The Dog's Head Scheme
Yan Shifan said in his heart: Instead of believing in this little beast, I should send another henchman and never make such a self-assertion. But he couldn't say this, only said another reason: "Father, if someone else goes, there is neither Hong'er's powerful faction nor his courage, and he can't defeat Liu Cai at all, and those things will naturally not be missed." Besides, the child didn't expect that Liu Laogou was so bold that he would dare to remember our master's black account. In this way, burning him is also cheaper for him. β
Yan Song flicked the sleeves of his robe and glared at Yan Shifan. However, after all, the father-son relationship is deep, and the godson Liu Cai made this account book, and he is indeed sorry for Yan Fu. He just said: "This time, it was the old man who almost blamed Hong'er." Good boy, get up and sit down. Before, my grandfather heard that you were doing things in Jinan, and you were vigorous and resolute, very powerful, but I blamed you for being too unkind to Liu Cai. But now that you look at it, it's still up to you. In the future, when our Yan family deliberates, you will also have a place. You are young, brainy, and aggressive, I'm afraid that your grandfather and your father are not as good as you. β
Yan Hong hurriedly said: "My grandson is young and shallow, and his knowledge is mediocre. Although I learned a few skills of a three-legged cat under the guidance of my grandfather and father, I also relied on my grandfather's Hongfu and the prestige of my Yan Mansion, and made some contributions by mistake, but I didn't dare to be arrogant. In the future, it will all depend on grandpa and daddy to mention more. It's just that the child thinks that there are many adults in my Yan family, and my protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the court, which may be a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. It is true that there are many of us, but there are many of them, and the good and the bad are uneven, just like the gangrene on the human body, and the days go by, but they will hinder the lives of men. If it weren't for the blessing of my Yan family's ancestors in heaven this time, there would have been a slight mistake, and Shandong would have been in turmoil. When the time comes, I'm afraid that my Daming country will be shaken. Social unease. In the future, when it comes to investigation, most of my Yan family will be able to escape the blame. β
"Looking at your rhetoric, most of them have a countermeasure in mind, so you might as well talk about it." Yan Song hated his son for being confused at this time, but he looked at this grandson very pleasantly.
"The child's countermeasures can't be talked about any cleverness, it's just cutting his feet and protecting his head, just four words."
"Cut your feet and keep your head?" A cold light flashed in Yan Shifan's eyes, "You mean to let my Yan family destroy their foundation." Self-severed arm? This insight is really good. He sneered, disdainful, and even more resentful.
Yan Song also said: "Hong'er, above this court, everyone has always talked about recruiting troops and buying horses, accumulating strength, and fighting like this, so that they can respond to every call, according to what you said." Isn't it self-defeating to expel all people from the earth? β
Yan Hong thought to himself: Keep these waste wood bastards. is the way to kill yourself. His intention was that the Yan family began to shrink their defenses, and stop being the first bird in the court, in exchange for survival.
But the father and son of the Yan family are not crossing the crowd, how do they know the fate of their family in a few years? Now from the perspective of the situation, Yan Song's father and son, the holy family of Rilong, coupled with this Yan Hongshi, have made great contributions, pacified the people, held on to the dangerous city, and eradicated the white lotus, repelled Mongolia, and invested countless gold and silver for the treasury. With the accumulation of many great achievements, the momentum of Yanfu is even stronger. It is said that when it is time to recruit troops and buy horses, when he is showing his strength, Yan Hong's so-called cutting his feet to protect his head is naturally difficult for even the old Yan Song to accept.
Yan Hong said again: "Grandpa, according to what my grandson thinks, I can divide my Yan family into two parts, and this one is in the court, but there is no need to move them." These people are in the court, but they don't dare to act wantonly and damage the reputation of our Yan family. When encountering things, they waved their flags and shouted, charged into battle, and took care of themselves. As for those who are facing outward, the children think that they should be screened, and if they are really talented, able to do things, and able to make meritorious contributions, they should naturally be preserved; But if it is like Liu Cai, who relies on the prestige of my Yan family, acts recklessly, and acts unscrupulously, he should be eradicated as soon as possible, so as not to affect his own family in the future. And this matter of selling officials, the child thinks that it is better to stop as soon as possible, this person who buys officials, all expect to return to the capital when he takes office, how can there be no problems? β
Yan Shifan snorted coldly and said, "Child's opinion." Let me ask you, how can a man walk if he has no feet? The governor, the ministers, and the officials who are close to the people are all the feet of my Yan family, and they can not only earn money for my Yan family in the locality, but also communicate news for my Yan family. If they are all cut off, then our Yan family will become deaf and blind, and they will not know anything about local affairs, and it will be difficult to deal with them first, and in turn, this internal matter will not be easy to handle. What's more, it is difficult to distinguish between the magistrate and the Beijing official, the governor can be transferred to the sixth department, and the Beijing official can also be transferred to the outside world, but how do you deal with it? You said that the Beijing officials don't need to move, just move the magistrates, not long ago Zhao Wenhua was still the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is he a Beijing official or a magistrate? How did you make the Son of Heaven angry? As for buying and selling official positions, where should this income be made up for when it is gone? What nonsense! β
Yan Hong turned around and found that what he said was quite stupid, and replied stubbornly: "What the child means is to leave those who have the ability to expel those who blindly serve and welcome those who have nothing else to do and who are dedicated to harming the country and the people. As for the money, as soon as he opens the sea trade, my Yan family only needs to take out the silver taels as the capital, and I am afraid that there will be no money? β
Yan Shifan sneered again: "Ridiculous, stupid! Do you think that this group of people have written 'capable' and 'no strength' on their faces, and let you choose? Do you think that those who have the ability are those who have clean sleeves, and those who do evil are incompetent? Hong'er, I see that you have done a lot of discipline in these recent affairs, how can you mention this idea, but you are like a mountain village man who is used to hearing comments, and he is stupid! It's like saying to the emperor that the country's government affairs are very simple, and it is nothing more than using clean officials and eliminating corrupt officials. Bullshit! Let's talk about it, Liu Cai, the governor of Shandong who was burned to death by you, is he a capable person or a non-capable one? Do you think that if he doesn't have some ability, he can become the governor of Shandong if he only knows that Lu Dao is a sycophant? Do you think that this business of opening private money and selling military rations can be done as long as you are bent on corruption? Stupid, stupid! Let's talk about opening the sea trade, there is no one in these eight words, how much profit can you make when the time comes, you are talking about it, but now you are dreaming of Qingqiu! β
Yan Hong was scolded by his father for a while, and he also realized that he was too idiotic, as if he was poisoned by the time-traveling novels he had read before, he took a list, divided the loyal and traitorous talents, and used them one by one. Where is it so simple to engage in real politics. However, in his heart, he still thinks that it is appropriate to shrink the potential force appropriately. It's just that how to explain this truth, he can't describe it for a while.
Yan Song opened his mouth at this time: "Don't fight, but this matter must also be discussed in the long run." Speaking of Jinan alone, most of them will make many people feel half-hearted, but after all, Hong'er is not to blame. If you are an old man, you can only deal with it like this. As for the future, it is necessary to do it when the matter is over, and there is no need to fight for right and wrong at the moment. It's just that Wang Xuan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, can't let him enter Beijing. I don't know how much he knows about Liu Cai, if Liu Cai is completely controlled by him, then I'm afraid he also has some clues about Yan Fu. Under such a three-law division, he is likely to confess, which is quite bad. β
Yan Hong said: "Grandpa, rest assured, Wang Xuan, as the left envoy of the Demon Sect, has a high position and a special identity. The grandson has already given the son of heaven, which shows that this demon trick is not trivial, and it is not trivial to escort him to Beijing, in case there are outlaws who go to rob the prisoner, but it is difficult to ensure that the thief is not lost. Or in Jinan, Ling Chi was executed, and the Ming canonical punishment was. Now he is being detained by two reliable general flags, and no one is allowed to approach them. β
Yan Song smiled and said, "Okay, Hong'er is very knowledgeable in this step. β
Yan Shifan suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, how much are you greedy for Wang Xuan's family property?" β
Yan Hongxin said: You one-eyed dragon, you are really greedy for money, so you know that you must be thinking about this. He hurriedly said: "The child doesn't dare to hide it, this property, the child has hidden nearly one percent from it." β
Yan Shifan knew that the money base was huge, and Yicheng was already not to be underestimated. But in his mind, he finally had such an opportunity, shouldn't he take 30% and talk about it? Immediately reprimanded: "Waste! What is the use of this one? What a waste of this rare opportunity. β
Yan Hong said: "Back to Daddy, half of the child's money went into the treasury, and most of the rest went into the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven, and some of it was used to dot everywhere, so less than one percent of the money left by the family was left." When he turned around, the child presented the booklet and asked his grandfather and father to check it. β
Yan Song said: "Hong'er did a good job. In the East Building, it is difficult to fill the desire, and Bailian is greedy for too much stolen money, but it is not good. For example, today the family is worried about the money, but Hong'er has put a large number of goods into the inner treasury, with this lot of money, he will be able to buy a joy for the heavenly family. Most of the chapters that impeach Hong'er are useless. This time, the old man is in charge of the money that entered the Yan Mansion, and Hong'er left half of it. He is also a concubine, and he should keep more money in his hand to spend. β
Yan Hong was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you grandpa for the reward." "You must know that the amount of the White Lotus Sect's treasure, even if it is less than one percent, even for the Yan Mansion, it is an astronomical amount. Yan Hong was able to get half of this less than one percent, and he was the big guy with the most cash among all the people in Yan Mansion.
Yan Hong kowtowed, and said: "My grandson still has one more thing, and I want to ask my grandfather and father to fulfill it." β
Yan Song said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. β
Yan Hong said: "Yes." The grandson wanted to follow the rite of marrying a wife, let her go through the door, let her wear red clothes, walk through the front door, and hope that her grandfather would be fulfilled. β
As soon as he said this, Yan Song's face twitched a little. This Shoufu master really doesn't understand, why did this grandson, who is still very sensible, make a mistake again in an instant? Scholarly family, the prime minister's mansion, the most pay attention to etiquette and rules. How can this division of wives and concubines be reversed? Doing things like him is tantamount to getting nothing up or down, which is seriously said to be impeached by the imperial history. Not to mention that after turning upside down, can this house be stable?
Yan Shifan said: "Little beast, there are many ghosts. Anyway, if you take a concubine, you will do it according to your heart. However, when you report to Lu Bing tomorrow, explain your thoughts to him, if Lu Wenfu doesn't interfere, you don't have to worry about your father and your grandfather. (To be continued......)
