Chapter 426: Yan Song: It turns out that we are all in His Majesty's hands!
On the same day, after being on duty, Yan Song did not leave in a hurry, but asked the sedan chair man who was responsible for carrying the sedan chair to carry the sedan chair back to Yan's mansion according to the previous travel route.
After the sedan chair man left with the empty sedan chair, Yan Song marched towards the Qianqing Palace under the leadership of a eunuch.
Yan Song followed the footsteps of this eunuch and walked around the Forbidden City, and came to the Qianqing Palace without attracting anyone's attention.
Yan Song looked at the Qianqing Palace in front of him, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and immediately stepped on the steps in front of him with the support of a eunuch.
……
In the Qianqing Palace, at this moment, Jiajing was in a state of cultivation, and a little spiritual energy escaped in the entire Qianqing Palace.
And Lu Fang, as usual, waited outside the Qianqing Palace.
After sensing Yan Song's arrival, he saw Jiajing withdraw from his cultivation state, and then slowly got up from the futon and sat back in his place.
After that, I saw Lu Fang stepping into the Qianqing Palace and reporting to Jiajingyu.
"Your Majesty, Yan Ge is old!"
When Jiajing heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and immediately asked Lu Fang.
"Lu Fang, you say, what did Yan Song want to report to me, make it so mysterious, and let you pass on a message to me?"
When Lu Fang heard this, after thinking for a long time, his face showed a tangled look and replied.
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know much about this, Yan Ge Lao only said that this matter is very important, and he can't let others know that he has come to see you!"
After listening to Lu Fang's answer, Jiajing suddenly lost interest, and immediately ordered.
"Alright, let him in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a while, I saw Yan Song step into the Qianqing Palace, and after entering the Qianqing Palace, he knelt on the ground respectfully and said in a deep voice.
"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Jiajing glanced at Yan Song's body, waved his hand quite casually, and commanded.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After getting Jiajing's consent, Yan Song slowly got up from the ground.
Since the moment he entered the Qianqing Palace, Yan Song only felt that the whole person had been a lot more relaxed, and in recent days, the pain that had been tormenting him had been reduced by half, and the whole person had an unprecedented sense of relief.
Just when Yan Song was still intoxicated with this feeling and couldn't extricate himself, Jiajing's voice pulled him back to reality.
"Yan Song, what do you have to report to me, and why are you so sneaky?"
Hearing Jiajing's words, Yan Songxuan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and responded tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to beg you to transfer food in another place!"
Jiajing couldn't help but feel a little surprised by Yan Song's request, raised his eyebrows, and spoke.
"Oh, didn't you say last time that you were going to transfer grain from Jiangxi, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song responded without thinking: "Your Majesty, last time, it was Weichen who didn't think it through, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”
When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add: "Your Majesty, do you know what kind of life the Sangnong over there in Zhejiang is living right now? ”
"At present, they can only rely on the pitiful relief food distributed by the local government to survive!"
"But at the moment, the relief grain stored by the Zhejiang government cannot support the consumption of these mulberry farmers at all, and the grain from Jiangxi will not be able to reach Zhejiang for a while!"
After listening to Yan Song's words, Jiajing also reacted, and immediately asked.
"Yan Song, do you mean that someone will do something in Jiangxi, so that the grain cannot be transported to Zhejiang?"
Yan Song saw that the emperor understood what he meant, and he also nodded yes, and then continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the purpose of the people who bought grain at a high price from those mulberry farmers was to make the rice change for mulberry fall short!"
"Moreover, he must have anticipated the current situation and made all preparations, and because of this, transferring grain from Jiangxi will not work at all!"
"Therefore, we can only try our luck from Fujian."
When Yan Song said this, his face was full of frustration.
Although Yan Song didn't say it explicitly, everyone present knew who the person Yan Song was referring to.
After listening to Yan Song's narration, Jiajing showed a slight look of blame on his face, withdrew his gaze from Yan Song's body, and immediately said: "Yan Song, you have been doing it for a long time, you are here for this matter!" ”
Yan Song was confused by Jiajing's understated attitude, and said secretly: "What did Your Majesty mean by what he said, was he prepared for a long time, or did he not take this matter to heart at all?" ”
Just as Yan Song was about to admonish, Jiajing's understated voice sounded again: "After coming down later, I will personally write a letter to Tan Lun and ask him to transfer grain from Fujian!" ”
When Yan Song heard Jiajing's words, he subconsciously wanted to remind: "Your Majesty, that Tan Lun is a clear stream ......."
Immediately afterwards, Yan Song seemed to realize something, a look of horror appeared on his face, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he forcibly swallowed the unfinished words back into his stomach.
"No, no, it can be seen from the tone and demeanor of His Majesty when he said those words that His Majesty has long been accustomed to this matter."
"In other words, it's not the first time Your Majesty has written to Tan Lun!"
"Isn't this Tan Lun from Xu Jie's side, why does Your Majesty write to him often?"
"In other words, because of a certain event, or a certain opportunity, His Majesty often writes to Tan Lun!"
Yan Song continued to think along this line of thought, and then, an extremely ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that this Tan Lun is from His Majesty's side, and he is responsible for monitoring Xu Jie's movements!"
Thinking of this, Yan Song suddenly had a 'boom' in his mind, and all the lingering doubts that had been lingering in his mind all disappeared.
"I see, so everything makes sense."
"The one who can directly present the song to the emperor, in addition to Hu Zongxian, there is also a Tan Lun!"
"Tan Lun is in charge of Qingliu's side, and on my side, it's Hu Zongxian!"
"This also explains why Your Majesty is able to know the movements of Xu Jie, me and Xu Jie."
"It turns out that we have always been in the hands of His Majesty!"
After thinking about all this, Yan Song smiled, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or Xu Jie's indiscretion.
Seeing this situation, Jiajing turned his gaze to Yan Song, and said with a smile: "Yan Song, you have been stunned there since just now, without saying a word, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
When Yan Song heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, looked directly at the majestic figure, knelt on the ground respectfully, bowed solemnly three times, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
When Jiajing heard this, he withdrew his gaze from Yan Song's body, and immediately commanded.
"Now that this matter is over, you can leave!"
Seeing that Jiajing had given him an eviction order, Yan Song slowly got up from the ground and responded respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Yan Song left the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing turned around and looked at Lu Fang on the side and called softly.
"Lu Fang, study ink for me, I want to write a letter to Tan Lun and ask him to transfer grain to Zhejiang as soon as possible."
When Lu Fang on the side heard this, he immediately said respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a short time, Lu Fang finished the ink and immediately retreated respectfully to the side.
Seeing this, Jiajing immediately stepped forward and spread out the pen and paper and began to write the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple, with only a short sentence: "Immediately transfer grain from Fujian to Zhejiang without delay!" ”
After Jiajing finished writing the letter, he waited for the ink on the paper to dry before putting it in an envelope and handing it over to Lu Fang on the side.
"Send this letter to Tan Lun as soon as possible, and follow the path of Jinyiwei!"
Seeing this, Lu Fang respectfully took the envelope from Jiajing's hand and responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Jiajing saw that after Lu Fang took the envelope, he didn't move for a long time, and turned to ask.
"Lu Fang, what's wrong?"
When Lu Fang heard this, his face was full of hesitation, and he immediately became bold and asked Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, the slave is very curious, what are you going to do with Xu Jie?"
After listening to Lu Fang's words, Jiajing immediately responded unhurriedly: "Lu Fang, do you remember those things that Zhao Zhenji found before?" ”
When Lu Fang heard this, after thinking about it for a long time, he immediately asked Jiajing tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the Xu family in Songjiang, where Xu Jie, is located, annexed a total of 280,000 mu of land?" ”
When Jiajing heard this, he nodded slightly, and then continued to add: "That's right, this is what I am referring to, he Xu Jie, not only wantonly annexed land, but also has thousands of looms at home, and hired a large number of weavers to produce silk for them, which is quite profitable!" ”
When Jiajing said this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You know, last year, my Ming Dynasty's annual tax was only 32.8 million taels, and the wealth that his Xu family has accumulated over the years is more than 10 million?" ”
After listening to Jiajing's emotion, Lu Fang seemed to have thought of something, and immediately lowered his voice and asked Jiajing tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, ...... then?"
The rest of the words, Lu Fang did not finish speaking, he knew that Jiajing understood what he meant.
When Jiajing heard this, he waved his hand, his face showed a little unswerving, and he immediately withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body, and said, "What's the hurry, the silver won't run away there?" ”
"I'm just asking them to keep it for me for the time being, before that, I still have a few things that Yan Song and Xu Jie need to take the lead in!"
When Lu Fang heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he immediately said respectfully.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
……
Beijing, Yanfu.
"Why hasn't my father come back yet, can't something have happened?"
The more Yan Shifan thought about it, the more he felt flustered, and immediately called the housekeeper and commanded in a deep voice.
"You send someone to go from here to the Forbidden City, and look for me carefully along the way!"
After listening to Yan Shifan's instructions, the housekeeper immediately said respectfully.
"Yes, Little Pavilion Elder!"
After this, the steward gathered all the servants who were in charge of guarding the house.
At this moment, I saw that the side door of Yan's mansion was pushed open, and a very ordinary sedan chair stopped.
Yan Shifan saw that Yan Song's spirit had improved a lot, his face had become ruddy, and his steps had become calm and powerful, and he hurriedly said in surprise: "Father, have you recovered from your illness?" ”
When Yan Song heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a smile: "Yes, it's much better." ”
Then, Yan Song turned his gaze to the housekeeper on the side, and the slave who followed the housekeeper, and asked, "What's wrong, making such a big battle?" ”
When Yan Shifan heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and he immediately spoke: "Father, the child is a little worried when he sees that you have not returned for a long time, so this is ......."
Before Yan Shifan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yan Song: "Idiot, you are looking for it with such fanfare, aren't you clearly telling Xu Jie, I'm not in the mansion?" ”
"Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Yan Song said this, looking at Yan Shifan's eyes, full of hatred for iron and steel.
Seeing this, Yan Shifan lowered his head, looked at the ground, and explained timidly: "Father, the child is also too worried, and he was in a hurry for a while, so he forgot your advice. ”
When Yan Song heard this, most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he immediately spoke: "Okay, this matter is over, use your brains more next time!" ”
Yan Shifan saw that Yan Song was discouraged, and immediately came up, helped Yan Song up the steps of the study, and immediately asked, "Father, how is the matter?" ”
Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan, and then said, "Don't worry, the matter has been resolved, and the grain over there in Zhejiang has also been settled!" ”
After Yan Shifan got this answer from Yan Song's mouth, his face was full of doubt, and he continued to ask.
"But, father, where does the food come from?"
"Right now, it's too late to transfer grain from the imperial court to Zhejiang!"
"And over there in Jiangxi, Xu Jie has already prepared, the child wants to ask his father, where did the grain transferred to Zhejiang come from, it can't be transferred from Fujian, he Tan Lun is from Qingliu!"
Yan Song was a little impatient with Yan Shifan's successive questions, and immediately spoke.
"Why are there so many problems, go and ask the kitchen to prepare something for me to eat!"
When Yan Shifan heard this, his face was full of joy, and he didn't bother to ask Yan Song about the details of this, and immediately responded: "Yes, father, the child will go and tell the kitchen to let them make up for you!" ”
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Song to respond, he took a very fast step and left.
Recently, Yan Song has eaten very little, and Yan Shifan is in his eyes and anxious in his heart.
Although Yan Shifan asked the kitchen to cook in a different way, Yan Song's appetite was still not high, and now, Yan Song said that he was hungry, in Yan Shifan's opinion, this is clearly a sign of his improved physical condition!
It is precisely because of this that Yan Shifan is so excited.
