Thinking of this, Yan Song only felt that his vest was cold for a while, cold sweat was oozing from his forehead, and he said: "If it weren't for the old gentleman's teachings, I'm afraid that I would still be confused." If you can really get lucky to enter the cabinet, how to deal with things in the future can be auspicious and avoid trouble, please ask the old gentleman to give advice. ”

After Yan Song finished speaking, he actually stood up, reorganized his clothes, and slammed towards Shounan Mountain.

Shou Nanshan smiled, pressed his right hand weakly, and motioned for Yan Song to sit down. After Yan Song sat down, Shou Nanshan smiled and said, "Lord Yan doesn't have to be polite. We met here today, and it was a fate. Lao Tzu saw that Lord Yan had the talent of Wang Zuozhi, and it was a pity not to be a scholar in the imperial court. After Lord Yan entered the cabinet, he couldn't break off his relationship with Lu Bing. There are some things that need to be exchanged with Lu Bing. This matter is extremely important, and Lord Yan must not forget it. ”

Yan Song nodded, and said, "The old gentleman is right, keep it in mind." ”

Shou Nanshan picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and looked up at the window. At this time, there was no longer the slightest playful look on his face, and his eyes were clear, like a large pond water. Yan Song secretly thought in his heart that when this person was young, he must have been a handsome and elegant person.

I only heard Shou Nanshan say in a deep voice: "Lord Yan was born as a Jinshi, and he wants to come to study a lot. There is a record in the Book of Tang, I don't know if Lord Yan has read it. Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, there were two major disasters, one was a feudal town and the other was a eunuch. The Tang Dynasty was finally destroyed by Zhu Wen, which was the result of suffering from these two disasters. Among them, the disaster of eunuchs is particularly terrible. Among the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful were Gao Lishi, Yu Chaoen, Dou Wenchang, Huo Xianming, Qiu Shiliang and several others. But when it comes to the experiences of these people, Qiu Shiliang is the best. Although Gao Lishi, Yu Chaoen, Dou Wenchang, Huo Xianming and other four people were in power, they ended badly in the end. And Qiu Shiliang killed two kings, one concubine and four prime ministers, greedy for more than 20 years, was awarded the Duke of Chu during his lifetime, commanded the left and right gods, knew the internal affairs, and after his death, he was posthumously named the governor of Yangzhou, which is really a great honor. To be a eunuch to do his part, it can be said that there is no one before, and the latecomers are only comparable to Tong Guan, the great eunuch of the Song Dynasty. However, although Tong Guan was crowned king, he eventually died under the knife, far less smart than Qiu Shiliang. ”

Yan Song heard Shou Nanshan suddenly talk about the old things of the Tang Dynasty, and he was puzzled. However, he knew that Shou Nanshan was by no means chatting with him, so he didn't interject, just listened quietly.

Shou Nanshan said: "Although Qiu Shiliang is a eunuch, he is proficient in the way of being an official. This person's career is already very familiar to Lord Yan when he thinks about it, and Lao Tzu doesn't need to say much. It is only said that later Tang Wuzong ascended the throne, reused Li Deyu as the prime minister, abolished the Shence army, and took over the authority of the eunuchs. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Shiliang claimed to be old and sick, and returned to his hometown. Tang Wuzong hated Qiu Shiliang and other eunuchs, and when he saw that he invited him to return to his hometown, he couldn't ask for it, so he allowed him to pay tribute. When Qiu Shiliang left the capital, he once said to the eunuchs who stayed in the capital that the Son of Heaven should not be idle, and he should always guide him to indulge in pleasures. In this way, our generation can achieve the ambition. It is especially important not to let him study, and to get close to the reader. If he reads a book, and sits down with a scholar, and learns the story of the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, he can't help but be afraid. My generation is about to be alienated, and eventually it will be impossible to escape death. Lord Yan, you need to remember this passage. ”

Yan Song heard the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his mouth: "The old gentleman's teachings will never be forgotten." ”

Shou Nanshan said: "Lord Yan, you are a smart person, Lao Tzu didn't teach you to guide the emperor to do bad things." Rather, I want to tell you that if you want to be a peaceful prime minister, you must know the emperor's heart. If you do everything according to the emperor's wishes, you yourself will not be bad. Qiu Shiliang manipulated authority, killed the prince, the imperial concubine and the prime minister, and bluntly spoke about the abolition, that was because the emperor of the Li family since Tang Xuanzong was incompetent and cowardly, which was manipulated by the eunuchs. Today's Jiajing Emperor is self-righteous and extremely smart. If you try to fool him, or even do the things of heaven on his behalf, you are seeking your own death. What you want to learn from Qiu Shiliang is the ability to figure out the emperor's mind. If you can't guess, you might as well find someone who can help you figure out the emperor's heart, so as to ensure that you are not disgusted by the emperor. As long as you do these two things well, it is definitely not difficult to be a cabinet member in peace. ”

After listening to Shou Nanshan, Yan Song reached out and took out a piece of brocade from his arms, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said to Shou Nanshan: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." The old gentleman's teachings today will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. If you are lucky enough to meet the old gentleman in the future, you should listen to the advice again. It's not early today, and I can't drink anymore, and if I drink it again, I will definitely lose my temper. Please leave the table first, and I hope that the old gentleman will not blame. ”

Shou Nanshan laughed, waved his right hand, and said: "Let's go, after we arrive in the capital, do things carefully, and it will not be in vain for us to meet." Ha ha. ”

Yan Song got up to salute, and then staggered towards the second floor. The man under him was afraid that he would stumble and fall, so he hurriedly reached out to help. Until they reached the second floor, the two turned into the corridor, and they were no longer visible downstairs. I saw Yan Song suddenly stand up straight and walk quickly to his guest room. The man was startled, and then he knew that Yan Song was deliberately pretending to be drunk, so he hurriedly followed. After Yan Song entered the house, he instructed the man to close the door of the house, and then sat on the chair and let out a sigh. The man stood with his hands hanging down to the side, his expression very respectful.

Yan Song said in a deep voice: "Master E, what is the origin of this old man surnamed Shou?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he said cautiously: "Lord Yan, the villain sees that this old guy is rude, most likely a scoundrel, eating and drinking here......"

Yan Song shook his head before he finished speaking. The man's heart sank, so he stopped talking. Yan Song said in a deep voice: "This person's origin is by no means ordinary. Originally, I thought that Dongliao County was a small border county, and there would be nothing going on. Nowadays, it seems that this place is not a good place. We can't stay here longer, lest we have long nights and dreams. You go and clean up, tell the guys to feed the horses tonight, and we will leave Dongliao County early tomorrow morning and rush to Liaoyang Mansion. ”

After Yan Song's master and servant left, Shou Nanshan smiled and said to himself: "He is obviously not drunk, why is he in a hurry to leave?"

Zhang Yong had opened his eyes at this time and sat respectfully on the side. Hearing Shou Nanshan say this, he said in a deep voice: "Because he was afraid, he had to leave under the pretext of drunkenness." ”

Shou Nanshan saw that Li Qiufeng was silent, thoughtful, smiled slightly, and said, "Little brother, do you have anything to say?"

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment before he spoke: "This treacherous and cunning surnamed Yan knows at a glance that he is a traitor. But Shou Lao Fang just talked to him so much, and every sentence was to teach him how to soar. If this person gains power, he will inevitably cause trouble. Although Shou Lao is no longer in the capital, can he bear to watch the Ming Dynasty defeated by Emperor Taizu ruined in the hands of this person?"

Shou Nanshan didn't seem to expect Li Qiufeng to ask this question, first stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "I see." Lao Tzu saw that you were preoccupied, and I thought I was wondering why Lao Tzu would talk to such a villain like this?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't dare to slander the old man in the belly." However, Shou Lao's move did not dare to agree. Even if Emperor Jiajing is not on the right throne and Shou Lao has the intention to retaliate, he does not have to gamble with Jiangshan Sheji. When he was in the capital, Shou Lao had the common people in mind and did not have a showdown with Emperor Jiajing. This time, he went to the outside of the border to find a safe place to live in seclusion. Since Shou Lao no longer wants to compete with Emperor Jiajing for the throne, why should he send such a traitor to the court and let him cause trouble for the people?"

Shou Nanshan still had a smile on his face at the beginning, but listening to Li Qiufeng's words, the smile on his face became less and less, and finally it became a little desolate. When Li Qiufeng saw this situation, his heart sank, so he had to shut up and not say anything. I saw Shou Nanshan shook his head, smiled a little bitterly, and said, "Little brother, you are completely wrong. It is true that Yan Song is a treacherous villain, but he is indeed a capable official. This person's name was known to Lao Tzu back then. At that time, he was an editor at the Hanlin Academy and wrote a good article. It's just that this person is too keen on fame and fortune, and if he is suddenly promoted to the sixth department, this person will have less experience and will inevitably fall into party disputes. It was because of me that I pressed him in the Hanlin Academy, and did not give him practical experience. ”
