Chapter II: Seizure of Power
In the game he is the chess player, one of his options, no one will disobey it, but now it is not a game, here are living people, they have their own ideas and act on them.
Therefore, Yan Ling must take back his power and control it in his own hands, it is impossible for a family with uneven hearts to go through the next troubled times and survive the ups and downs for more than 200 years.
"Okay, good ......" Yan Zhen's chest bulged and closed, obviously angry: "Look at it, this kid is out of luck, he dares to scold me and don't say anything, and he still wants to cover up the rebellion!" β
"Do you want our Yan family to be implicated by the imperial court because of your actions?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Yan family up and down the house were all one Ling, if this matter was really known by the imperial court, they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and they would commit a major crime of rebellion, and the Nine Clans were not a joke. Suddenly, everyone present looked at Yan Ling's eyes unkindly.
Yan Zhen saw that he put the other party in a greatly disadvantageous realm with his words, and couldn't help but feel proud for a while, raised his head and squinted at Yan Ling, thinking to himself to fight with your uncle, you are still behind!
"I want to ask the fourth uncle, what benefits can we get by handing over these people to the government?" Yan Ling was not in a hurry and asked.
Yan Zhen replied without thinking about it: "Naturally, it is the official and the silver money......" After saying a few words, he suddenly opened his mouth and lost his words.
Yes, what good can it do to report these people to the official?
Rewarding official positions? Don't think about it, if you don't catch the thief head, how can there be an official downgrade, not to mention the money, in Yinxian County for so many years, only officials have eaten, and they have never been seen vomiting.
He was influenced by the Confucianism of the court for a hundred years, and as soon as he heard about the rebellion, he wanted to send it to the government.
Yan Ling was not in a hurry, raised his hand and waved Fang Xuan:
"Do you still remember that in the fourth year of Zhengzheng, the Yellow River burst its banks, and hundreds of people in Shandong and Hebei were displaced; Along the Huai River, there is a great epidemic and drought, and the white bones are exposed. β
In the fifth year of Zheng, the imperial court sent Xuanfu officials to help the poor and rectify the rule of officials. However, the Xuanfu officials colluded with local corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the people together. From time to time, there is a folk song that says: "When the envoy comes, the earth is shaken, and when the envoy goes, the sky is dark, the officials are happy, but the people are crying and crying." β
"In six years, 40 thieves robbed 300 river boats, and the officers and soldiers couldn't catch them!"
"In seven years, there were 36 thieves in Jiqinghua Mountain, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and they couldn't enter the bargain, but they were defeated, and then they faked their hands to salt apprentices, so they could succeed! Even the 'Asu Army', which is known as the elite army, did not listen to the voice of the commander Hei Hedu to fight, and left when he encountered the enemy, without any willingness to fight. β
"Natural and man-made disasters, the army has no combat strength, is this not a sign of the destruction of the country? In this great yuan world, I think it won't be peaceful for a few days! β
As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and Yan Zhen even pointed at him with his finger: "You, you ......" but couldn't say a word.
Yan Ling didn't care, even if this was just the word? The corruption and greed of officials in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty had reached an unimaginable level, and there was nothing that could not be solved with money!
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that this courtyard of the family, you must know that the Yuan Dynasty implemented the armor protection system in the early years, and how strict the care of the Han people was, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty even relied on the local family to resist the attack of the rebel army, which shows how turbulent the rule of the Yuan Dynasty has been!
"At this time, I want to make friends with heroes and righteous people, in order to establish a foundation in troubled times, and also work hard for the Yuan Court, do you want to overturn with this mansion?"
"As for Zhulian...... If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? Or will everyone here report to the official??? β
Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly a little speechless, he really didn't think about it, and he wouldn't think about it, he was just a squire, but he didn't have the habit of looking at the general trend of the world.
As for reporting to the official, not to mention, although he and others are a little dirty, no matter how they are, they are still behind closed doors, and making trouble about this kind of thing is not only a bitter hatred, but also a betrayal of the clan, and it will be despised by others.
He turned his head to look at his brother, Yan Ling's third uncle, and wanted to ask for his help, but the other party was also dumbfounded, not knowing how to reply, and the rest of the people present were already in shock, they had never thought about that aspect, but listening to his words, it was reasonable, as if the troubled times were just around the corner, and people couldn't help but believe it.
Yan Ling saw that everyone present had been shocked by his words, and at this time, it was time to add fuel to the fire, he pointed to the few family members holding sticks, and shouted:
"Don't let anyone go!"
Several family members were already stunned by what he said, but now they are a little timid when they are drunk by him, and the other party is the head of the family, so they all have the idea of retreating. However, they were originally the henchmen of the three rooms and the four rooms, so they still subconsciously looked at the two clan elders.
Yan Ling took a step across, blocked in front of them, his eyes widened angrily, and with a bang, he pulled out a talisman short sword from his waist, put it on their necks, and shouted angrily:
"Do you still recognize me as the head of the family! I said, put - peopleββ! β
The blade of the sword was close to the neck of the leader of the family, and there was already a slight amount of blood oozing out, and the two of the family were trembling, how dare they disobey, and hurriedly ordered several subordinates to untie the ropes of Fang Guozhen and the others.
Yan Zhen and the third uncle couldn't help sighing, but they didn't say anything, although they were shocked by that words in their hearts, but they were also reluctant to give up their power like this.
However, the family rules by patriarchal law, even if it is them, it is impossible to openly order their clansmen not to obey orders on such occasions, you must know that their own source of power is the patriarchal system, Yan Ling is the son of the long house, and there is nothing wrong with the clansmen obeying his orders.
If Yan Ling is cowardly, they can also rely on their authority to intimidate and coerce, and then slowly take power into their own hands, but now it seems that this son is also strategic, and he is not a good person.
They know that after today's event, the majesty of the head of the family will definitely rise greatly, but they don't know if this head of the family is really talented, or if he can only talk about it.
Knowing that they had lost for a while, the two glanced at each other, their minds had already communicated, and they should have been close to each other in the future, but they didn't want the two to just finish breathing, and they heard a voice next to them:
"What the head of the family said is very much, a certain admiration, the second room is in charge of the family's financial power, a certain age is old, quite inadequate, today I will resign, please choose another virtuous."
"Second brother, you-" The two looked up in shock.
