Chapter 56 Hai Rui must die. Yan Song's other card. Are you willing to practice with me? Embark on the path to immortality?
"This Hai Rui," Jiajing couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, "It seems that before Hai Rui's 'sword' is withdrawn, the first person to be 'chopped' will be that little girl."
"Just wait until tomorrow and see the show..."
In the study room of Yan Mansion.
"Dad, Qingfeng will be able to arrive in Dinghai County tomorrow night." Yan Shifan walked up to Yan Song and said.
Hearing this, Yan Song raised his eyelids and asked, "Have you given all the instructions?"
"I've given the order," Yan Shifan said, opening his mouth, as if he was about to say something, "Father, the emperor is using Qingfeng as bait. It feels like sacrificing her..."
"We sent that girl to the palace for the dragon bed. With such favor, the sixteen-year-old Ming Dynasty Imperial Master was given a noble title. Her status and position can already be regarded as the leader of the Taoist sect."
"The first time she presided over the Luotian Grand Ceremony ended in failure. It would be a fatal blow to her prestige." Yan Shifan frowned and said, "I'm not worried about her.
I want to know what the emperor's attitude towards her is..."
"Dragon couch?" After hearing what Yan Shifan said, Yan Song snorted and laughed, raised his head slightly, and looked at his son Yan Shifan, who had a frown on his face and a worried look, "You have misjudged the emperor."
"From the very beginning, when the Emperor accepted our offer to send Qingfeng into the palace, he had already decided on her use."
"It doesn't matter whether Qingfeng girl can climb onto the dragon bed or not. What matters is that she is a useful person in the hands of the emperor."
"For example, regarding the Southeast incident this time, there is no one more suitable than her to come forward. This is the wisdom of Your Majesty."
"If the Luotian Dajiao is successful, what benefits do you think it will bring to the emperor?" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan.
"Of course I understand what you mean." Hearing his father say this, Yan Shifan sighed.
"I understand." Yan Song nodded with relief. His son was actually very smart, but as the Yan family became more and more powerful, he became more and more rampant.
To the extent that I no longer use my brain out of habit, and now, after several setbacks, I have finally turned over a new leaf.
Yan Song slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The only purpose of the Luotian Grand Ceremony is failure. It has to be a man-made failure, and only then can the Emperor's goal be achieved."
"Because if they fail, they will be held accountable. Once they are held accountable, the Qingliu side will be able to take advantage of the situation and hand over a group of people, land and money. Then everyone will be rewarded according to their merits, and everyone will be happy."
"Next, our people must act at the same time as the Qingliu people. We cannot make any mistakes," Yan Song said, with a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Shifan, "That Hai Rui..."
"Don't worry, father," Yan Shifan's eyes turned cold and he said, "This Hai County Magistrate who serves the country and the people will die with the failure of Luotian Dajiao..."
"Okay, that's good," Yan Song nodded slightly. "The fire in the southeast was originally set by humans, so naturally something must be burned artificially... This Hai Rui is too dangerous..."
"It's better for everyone not to use an uncontrollable sword. As the saying goes, things change over time, and don't laugh at the poor wearing tattered clothes... Who knows, one day, we will end up like Qingliu..."
After listening to his father's words, Yan Shifan fell silent.
"Oh, right," Yan Song suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "The southeast affairs will be left to Ruzhen.
The restoration of the Wei-suo system is itself a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Ruzhen understands the righteousness and will take responsibility.
But the border areas are still lacking someone as reliable as him who can grasp the overall situation."
"Do you have anyone?"
Hearing this, Yan Shifan came back to his senses and nodded, "Hu Zongxian wrote to me and recommended a person to me, but..." As he spoke, his tone became hesitant.
"Ruzhen has praised Tang Shunzhi highly in several of her letters." Yan Song spoke calmly before he could finish his words.
(Note: Tang Shunzhi died in April of the 39th year of the Jiajing reign in history. The story was modified for the needs of the plot.)
"Dad, do you know?" Yan Shifan was stunned, but after meeting his father's gaze, he simply said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. You know this person's character well. He thinks he is noble..."
As he spoke, Yan Shifan became angry.
"They are cut from the same cloth as Hu Zongxian. They eat our food and receive our favors, yet they act like upright people everywhere?" "They never thought about whether they could realize their ambitions if it weren't for our Yan family's protection?"
"Eating while scolding the cook, this is a complete villain, being a whore and still wanting to maintain a chastity archway..."
"Shut up!" Seeing Yan Shifan's words becoming more and more outrageous, Yan Song shouted in a low voice, "The border is the key to our future layout!"
"We need someone like Ruzhen who can take charge of the overall situation and take the overall situation into consideration!"
Yan Song's tone was more resolute than ever before.
"Dad, I just don't understand. It's not like our Yan family is out of work. There are so many people waiting to be hired. Yan Maoqing, Luo Longwen, which one of them is not a capable person?"
"No need to say more," However, no matter what Yan Shifan said, Yan Song just waved his hand and made the decision.
"Just listen to me on this matter. I will transfer Tang Shunzhi to the border in a few days. That's it."
"...You!" Seeing his father's dictatorial look, Yan Shifan was immediately furious. He stood up and said indignantly:
"Dad, you're going to regret this!"
After saying this, the angry Yan Shifan slammed the door and walked out.
He has grown a lot, but in his opinion, some people cannot be used no matter what.
That Hu Zongxian, who was self-righteous, talked about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and concern for the country and the people, and completely forgot who he was a student of.
As for Tang Shunzhi, when he was first recommended to the Yan family, he made all kinds of excuses, and it was only after my father personally stepped in that he was convinced.
This person is indeed reliable and useful. His talents are no less than Hu Zongxian's, but he has the same bad habits.
What will the future of the frontier look like? It will be a bloody battle with the Qingliu. How many people will be purged?
Will people like Hu Zongxian and Tang Shunzhi just sit back and do nothing about this? Dad is really getting old and confused!
Yan Shifan naturally would not understand Yan Song's painstaking efforts.
Hu Zongxian was an able minister and the governor-general of Zhejiang and Zhili, in charge of military power. The war in the southeast was also Yan Song's trump card to save his life.
Now, the frontier is the focus of the future Ming Dynasty, so Yan Song naturally needs to arrange another person with the same role.
By then, one in the south and one in the north will become the Yan family's backer and last resort to protect them from wind and rain at critical moments.
Yan Song had a long-term vision of these principles, but Yan Shifan did not understand them yet. Compared with Yan Song, he lacked a long-term vision after all.
As the night deepens, inside Yuxi Palace.
"Lv Fang." After meditating, Jiajing opened his eyes, looked at Lv Fang who had just finished his busy work, and called out.
Hearing Jiajing's voice, Lu Fang put down the work in his hands and walked over quickly, "Master, what do you want?"
"Well," Jiajing raised his eyes, looked at Lu Fang, and said lightly: "Are you willing to practice with me? On the path to immortality?"
"boom!"
These plain words, at this moment, sounded like a thunderclap in Lu Fang's ears.
It made his head buzz!
Master, are you going to take me to cultivate immortality? !
Happiness came so suddenly that Lu Fang was stunned and even forgot to answer Jiajing's question.
"..."
Everyone, it's Monday, if you have recommendation votes, please give some, don't make the data too ugly, thank you, thank you~~~
