In the moonlight, by the window.

A middle-aged man with a black beard drank tea, and a young man in a blue shirt sat stiffly.

"I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky, the emperor has noticed you. The decree of the palace will come to your house by to-night. Yan Tanhua, you're going to enter the attendant's room."

The chamber of the attendants?

Of course Yan Song understood what it was.

But he is frightened now, and at the same time, this news makes him have an irrepressible desire, is it ...... His fate is about to change?

He wanted to say something, but the voice got stuck in his throat and he couldn't get out.

"Can't believe it?" Mu Bin raised his eyebrows.

"In the next ...... Xiaguan ...... Believe." Yan Song's lips trembled a little, obviously. Then I probably felt an itchy throat, so I couldn't help coughing three or two times into my fist.

"Why?"

"Because, the dignified commander of the brocade guard will not go to Zaixia's house late at night and deceive such an insignificant person."

Mu Bin was silent for a while.

Outside, the poplar leaves rustle in the wind.

Now in this season, even in the middle of the night, even if there is a breeze, you can't feel the cold.

"No, you're important. Do you know why His Majesty chose you to enter the chamber?"

"I don't know." Yan Song shook his head, "Commander Mu, can you tell me?"

"Because you have something to do with a piece of eucalyptus in the court that His Majesty personally cares about."

"Nope!" Of course, Yan Song didn't have the same concentration as he did when he was eighty years old, he hurriedly stood up and tried his best to state, "The lower officials don't know those people! I haven't even seen a single face! Before the exam, Xia Guan studied all day long, and there was very little interaction between friends, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the DPRK and China! Please command Mu to make a statement to the emperor!"

"Hey." Mu Bin sighed softly, "No one said you were guilty. If you are guilty, why should Your Majesty order you to enter the chamber? Yan Weizhong, the envoy spoke very slowly, just waiting for you to calm down. Sit down."

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, and he realized that he had overreacted a little at this moment. So I felt a lot of remorse in my heart, and at the same time kept telling myself to be calm and calm......

"The eucalyptus that Your Majesty cares about is the Zhan Xiushan eucalyptus you asked about during the day. Don't you really want to know why Zhan Xiushan was arrested?"

Yan Song's teeth clenched, "He...... What have you committed?"

"Your Majesty has a playmate who has accompanied Your Majesty since childhood. Named Mei Huaigu. Mei Huaigu's father is named Mei Kejia. Mei Kejia was a merchant in Zhejiang, and most of the silver he obtained was handed over to His Majesty. Zhan Xiushan and his family are also in business, and they want to plant charges against Mei Huaigu, sow discord between His Majesty and Mei Kejia, and dismantle Mei Keji's business in Zhejiang."

Yan Song slowly recovered his thoughts at this time, he didn't expect that there was such a big involvement behind it, but he felt strange, "No matter how powerful Zhan Xiushan is, he is just a five-grade Hubu Langzhong, no matter how rich the Zhan family is, it is only in Jiangxi. How dare they get involved in the emperor's affairs, is there something strange about this?"

Mu Bin said calmly, "So there is someone else behind him, isn't it? You see you want it, Your Majesty can't think of it? Wouldn't the Jinyi Guards have imagined?"

"Who's behind it?"

"I don't know." ….

"What does that have to do with me?"

"You go and find Xu Chang back, and then go with him to save people."

"Commander Mou! The lower official is just a ......."

"It's a holy decree!"

"What...... What?"

Mu Bin's index finger pointed on the wooden table, "This is the holy decree, this is the capital. You've got the best words."

Yan Song wanted to cry instantly, and he wouldn't doubt it. How could the commander of the Jinyi Guard come with him to fake the holy decree. Besides, he was about to enter the attendant's room, no matter what, Mu Bin would not tell this lie.

But the question is, why him?

Is it because you are from Jiangxi? Zhan Xiushan is also from Jiangxi?

Or is it because Xu Chang came to find him?

"Yan Weizhong, you are a person who has read the books of the sages. The big reason should be

I also know a lot, someone in the court should always mention a word to you...... You say that we are Ming, are we competing with the people for profit?"

Yan Song was hit again, and the unanswerable questions he had encountered in the past few days were simply more than he had in the previous twenty years.

What does it mean for the commander of the Jinyi Guard to ask this question? Tempting?

If it was his friend Sheng Yi, who was full of a sense of justice, he would probably say yes.

But Yan Song... I was already afraid, "If I take it from the people and use it for the people, it will not count."

"It seems that you don't say it yourself, and you don't know anything about the court."

Mu Bin left this emotionless sentence.

Then he left.

All that was left was wisps of heat rising from the milky white cup and a token of a brocade guard placed on the side, which was for his contact.

Yan Song leaned against the door and window, unable to sleep.

Outside the house, Mu Bin boarded a carriage. Yan Song is not easy to show his bottom. Mu Bin was also unsure of his character, so he ...... That's all I can do today.

In fact, there are only two outcomes.

If Yan Song is very dignified, then he should work with him to find a way not to make such a big fuss in the imperial court.

If he is just a man who slaps horses, then he will not be the same as him.

He understands Mao Yuyu's thoughts better.

He will not be easily fooled, not because he spares his life, but because he can't see Jinyiwei fall into the hands of such a person, otherwise the first emperor's years of hard work will be in vain.

Besides, today's saints are not ruthless people, and there seem to be restrictions on Mao's language, and things are not to the extent of giving up completely.

So the best direction for Mu Bin in this matter is that being messed up is just Yan Song's messing up, and it has nothing to do with him.

People always seem to be more receptive to the least harmful approach to themselves.

……

……

And the next day the decree came.

Jiangxi Jinshi Yan Song Yan Weizhong edict into the attendant room.

If it weren't for Mu Bin's late-night visit, Yan Song would have been ecstatic, but now .......

And before he officially entered the palace to face the saint, he still had to go and get Xu Chang back. This is the decree of God.

When the time comes, lest the emperor ask and say that he has not done it.

Xu Chang was surprised that Master Yan had a change of heart.

Yan Song didn't know what to say, but said, "After all, it's a family, and I still have to find a way to save my cousin."

Xu Chang burst into tears of gratitude, covering his face and crying bitterly. ….

But Yan Song really knelt in front of the emperor, but he had mixed feelings.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, in addition to him, there is Xie Pi, the son of Xie Ge Lao.

He should have been able to enter the attendant room because of Zhan Xiushan's eucalyptus. Should I say it or not, this is what he bought in exchange for his life.

But what about Xie Pi, if he sleeps comfortably at home for a few days, he will have the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao made a slight assignment according to their personalities, "Xie Yizhong followed Jin Gui, and Wang Xian took Yan Weizhong. You two look good and study hard. The errands in the squire's room are not very difficult, but they are extremely complicated, so try not to make mistakes."

"Your Ministers obey."

Zhu Houzhao didn't immediately leave Yan Song as a solo, this is too attention-grabbing, Yan Song just came, so it's still not good.

In the afternoon, when he looked through the documents in the attendant's room, he pointed out that one of them was not satisfied, and deliberately made a mistake, "Who drafted this?"

Jin, Wang, Xie, and Yan all began to feel nervous.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the minister's plan."

Zhu Houzhao gave Liu Jin a look, and he himself seemed to turn around and leave with emotion.

Liu Jin stuffed the document into Yan Song's hand and urged, "Why don't you hurry over?!" What's the use of being stupid on your knees?"

It's not easy to say that Yan Ge is old, in just a few days, that heart is always scared to different people, and he regrets being involved in this court!

When the weather was good, Zhu Houzhao found a place to rest in the lakeside pavilion for the afternoon, and by the way, let the people around him stay farther away.

Only Yan Song bent over, not daring to move in front of him.

"You should know everything, do you have anything to ask me?"

Yan Song lifted his robe and knelt down, "Weichen doesn't dare."

"Don't dare to ask, that's what Xili Lake Tu does. If I do something wrong, I will blame people. I don't know how I am, so I don't care about you. Ask."

Yan Song was under a lot of pressure, mainly because of the emperor in front of him...... The prestige is too great.

Say he's forgiving...... But when it is time to use the knife, he will not be soft, saying that he is harsh...... But the people are always in their hearts.

The Ming Dynasty is already the tenth emperor today, but I didn't expect to have a person who can chase the ancestors.

It is the way he is summoned under the pretext, the calmness and steadiness between the interlude with the courtiers, and the calmness and steadiness between words and deeds, which can already be seen that this emperor does have a momentum of controlling everything.

"Then the minister was bold. Weichen doesn't understand, why did His Majesty choose Weichen for a big eucalyptus like Zhan's? After all, half a month ago, the minister was just a lifter."

"At the beginning, Sheng Yi wanted to correct Qi Sanyou's name. You tell him that Qi Sanyou's name is crooked, and even if it is correct, it will be white."

Yan Song was terrified, he didn't expect the emperor to even know about that incident!

This emperor really made him feel too unfathomable!

"Weichen lost his words, please forgive your majesty!"

"Your sins have already been healed. But I think you understand the court. That's why I picked you. And it's just a few clowns jumping off the beam, so what kind of eucalyptus is it?"

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and slapped off the flour on the dim sum on his hands, "Xu Youming is locked up in the same place as Zhan Xiushan. After you enter the chamber, you can also go to the place where the brocade guards are. In a few days, you will take Xu Chang to pick Xu Youming out, in front of Zhan Xiushan."

Yan Song roughly understood, "And then ...... Let the people who want to save go to Wechen again?"

"Remember to ask for silver. 200,000 taels, not a single cent less."

"Your Majesty, my father once taught his ministers that being an official is a king, a people, and a society, and you must not be a few taels of silver."

Hearing Yan Ge say such things, Zhu Houzhao felt a little peculiar. But this kind of drama is something that anyone has to play.

"Yes, you're high. Thou art not for money. But who said the silver was for you? Take it and give it to me."

「…… Wechen understood."

Zhu Houzhao squatted down again, "Although I grew up in the Deep Palace, I still know a lot about the methods of collecting money in the officialdom. If I were you, I would ask for 250,000 taels. 200,000 to hand in, 50,000 taels to keep for yourself."

Yan Song was shocked, "Your Majesty! Wechen will never dare to call Your Majesty!"

But the emperor did not speak, but smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go down."
