Li Qiufeng had previously learned Yan Song's sharp teeth and knew that this person could say black into white and evil into good with his three-inch incorruptible tongue. This kung fu of reversing black and white is almost unmatched in the world. At this time, listening to his long speech, the head of what he said was the Tao, I thought to myself, when this person spoke, he was meticulous, and there was no gap, and he actually said that he was timid and afraid of things, and did not dare to confront the powerful and traitorous ministers, so righteous and awe-inspiring, that even I almost believed what he said. It can be seen that this person is traitorous and loyal, and if he takes the throne in this regard, he will become a big trouble for the court. I am afraid that the disaster will be fierce, and it is still above Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others. It's just that he doesn't know Shou Nanshan's identity, so he dares to be so presumptuous. If he knew that it was Emperor Zhengde who was sitting in front of him, he would not dare to speak like this even if he was afraid of being killed.

Shou Nanshan listened to Yan Song's eloquent conversation, took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said in his mouth: "With Lord Yan's scheming, if he takes refuge in Liu Jin, I am afraid that he will already enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister." Lao Tzu would like to ask you, why didn't you fight back and help Liu Jin do things? If there was a smart person like you to help, I am afraid that Liu Jin would not fall. Maybe if he becomes the emperor, your kid will become the hero of Kaiyuan, and his authority will not be under Li Shanchang, Xu Da and other famous generals when the Ming Dynasty founded. ”

Yan Song was taken aback, waved his hand again and again and said, "Old man, such a rebellious word is absolutely unspeakable. If someone plays a book, I lose my official ministry, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to save the lives of the children in the family. ”

Yan Song said this, paused slightly, and then said: "A gentleman has something to do, and he doesn't do something. Yan certainly values his life, but his loyalty to Daming is more important than his life. It has been more than 100 years since the founding of Taizu. During this period, there was the rebellion of Hu Weiyong and Lanyu, and there was also the crisis of the change of Tumubao. Treacherous eunuchs like Peng Jin and Liu Jin want to subvert the Ming Dynasty, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu are one writer and one martial artist, and their wisdom and martial arts are a hundred times better than that of Peng Jin and Liu Jin, and in the end they end up with a dead and annihilated clan. ”

When Li Qiufeng and Zhang Yong heard Yan Song say this, they both thought in their hearts that the surname Yan was extremely cunning. He saw that it was difficult for Peng Jin and Liu Jin to achieve great things, so he did not rebel and make trouble. If there is someone more powerful than Peng and Liu Erthief in power, Yan Song will wait for the opportunity to watch the situation, but he is afraid that he will wait for the opportunity to move.

I only heard Yan Song continue: "It's just that as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." The eunuch party has full wings, and it is a bloody storm in the court. Yan was only a small editor of the Hanlin Academy at that time, and he refused to rely on traitors such as Peng and Liu, so he had to suffer a catastrophe if he stayed in the capital. It happened that Yan was suffering from a serious illness at that time and had to ask the academic director of the academy to return to his hometown to recuperate. At that time, the talents of the Hanlin Academy withered, and the newly appointed bachelor of the academy was a sworn friend of Pengjin. He was enthusiastic about promoting his fellow party members, and he heard me say that he wanted to return to his hometown to recuperate, which was exactly what he could not ask for. It was Yan who didn't make much effort, so he returned to his hometown in Jiangxi to recuperate. Fortunately, when Liu Jin's power was in power in the next ten years, Yan was not victimized by the eunuchs. ”

Yan Song said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "After the incident of Lord Bai, Yan understood a truth. For the way of officials, the emphasis is on moderation. If you are forced to do so, you must not fight to the death with the enemy. Mr. Fang Caishou said that Yan Mou hid a knife in his smile and a honey-bellied sword, which was also good. It's just that Yan's methods are only to be used when fighting with traitors. Yan only admires those loyal ministers and good generals, how can he be willing to use these despicable means to harm others?"

Shou Nanshan laughed, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, good, it's really a eunuch who can do it." The day when your kid will enter the cabinet to pay respects is not far away. Come, Lao Tzu toasts you, it can be regarded as a celebration in advance. ”

Shou Nanshan picked up the wine glass, raised it to Yan Song, and drank it all. Yan Song dipped the cup on his lips, only took a small sip, and then said to Shou Nanshan: "The old gentleman is conclusive, I don't know what the evidence is?"

Shou Nanshan raised his eyebrows and said to Yan Song: "With your kid's mental skills, you must have seen that Lao Tzu's origin is extraordinary. Lao Tzu doesn't have to hide it, he did live in the capital before, and he still heard a little about the officialdom in the capital. Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne as a vassal king, and there was a great ceremonial dispute at the beginning of his accession to the throne. In fact, it is fake that he is fighting for the title of emperor for Lao Xing, and it is true that he took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and support his own forces to control the court. I think he became the emperor as a corner of the vassal king, the cabinet of the capital, the six ministries, the governor's office of the five armies, and the twenty-four yamen in the palace are all the old ministers of the former emperor Zhengde of the previous dynasty. If Emperor Jiajing wants to sit firmly in the world, he has to think of ways to get rid of all these old ministers. He took advantage of the great ceremonial dispute to denounce all the bigwigs in the cabinet, and even scolded the ministers with a cane outside Zuo Shunmen, killing 16 people on the spot, forcing the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee not to resist. It has been ten years since opportunists such as Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao entered the cabinet and replaced Yang Tinghe and others. ”

Yan Song listened to Shou Nanshan's eloquent talk, and said so clearly about the great etiquette dispute that has caused a sensation in the world since Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, secretly thinking that I really didn't read it wrong, this person must have a great background. Looking at his appearance, most of the time he was a general who held military power, and he traveled all over the world after Zhishi. This person was well-informed, and knew that I had been summoned to the capital by the emperor, so he guessed that I would enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister. If there is such a discussion in the government and the opposition, after the emperor's ears and eyes hear about it, they will inevitably turn to the imperial front. At that time, there will be a lot of praise from the government and the opposition, which will naturally be of great benefit to me.

I only heard Shou Nanshan continue: "Emperor Jiajing is an extremely smart person, and Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao are just speculators, if you talk about talent, not to mention compared with Yang Tinghe, Liu Kang and others, even if you are an official of the six departments of the imperial court, in terms of talent, you are much stronger than Zhang and Gui." In the past ten years, Emperor Jiajing used Zhang Xuan, Gui Cao and others to clear the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and the court and the palace were replaced with courtiers loyal to Emperor Jiajing, and Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao became an obstacle for Emperor Jiajing to govern the world. Now the palace is controlled by Lu Bing, Emperor Jiajing's favorite, and Emperor Jiajing doesn't need to worry about it. What he is worried about is nothing more than the lack of a reliable and talented minister like Lu Bing in the court. Since the beginning of last year, Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao have been repeatedly reprimanded by the emperor, and the time for their downfall is not far off. At this delicate time, if Lord Yan can seize the opportunity, get the favor of the emperor, and be able to rise to the top and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, it will naturally not be a difficult thing. ”

When Yan Song was in Nanjing, he was always worried about the political situation in the capital. Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao were the most relied on courtiers of Emperor Jiajing. Although Yan Song intends to go to the capital as an official, in his heart, if he can go to the capital to serve as the secretary of any of the six departments, he will already be satisfied. In time, entering the cabinet as one of the six books will naturally be a matter of course and icing on the cake. But he never dared to think that he could replace Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao and directly enter the cabinet to become a cabinet scholar. At this moment, listening to Shou Nanshan's analysis, I was surprised and delighted. I secretly thought that I read the Di Bao in Nanjing last year, and I did see Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao being reprimanded by the emperor. But it was all trivial things, and the emperor did not punish him. Compared with other ministers who were demoted and dismissed at every turn, and even received a court rod and were sent to prison, the affairs of Zhang and Gui were naturally not taken to Yan Song's heart. After Yishou Nanshan finished speaking, Yan Song pondered for a moment before he spoke: "The emperor did accuse Zhang and Gui, but they were all trivial matters, and he did not condemn them. Based on this, the old gentleman said that the two adults lost power, but I am afraid that it is a bit exaggerated. ”

Shou Nanshan smiled and said, "Lord Yan, the big and small things in the court, I think you are more concerned than Lao Tzu." Let's not talk about those rumors, the palace report issued by the imperial court is naturally well-founded. Lord Yan might as well think about it, Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao have made a lot of mistakes in the past few years, but when did the emperor accuse the two of them? And since last year, the emperor has reprimanded the two of them several times, all of which are trivial matters. This is clearly telling the world that the emperor has to get along with Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao even for such trivial matters, and if the two of them do something wrong, it will not be as simple as saying it in the palace newspaper. ”

When Shou Nanshan said this, he made a decapitation gesture with his right hand, and said with a sneer: "The knife has been hanging on the necks of Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao. The two of them stretched out their heads with a knife, and they shrank their heads with a knife. In the imperial court, the trend of replacing the old with the new is unstoppable. Lord Yan's opportunity is right in front of him, as for whether he can take advantage of the momentum to soar, it depends on Lord Yan's creation!"
