On the sixteenth day of the first month of the forty-first year of Jiajing, Lu Fang walked into the celebrant with an instruction:
Lv Fang
Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, Yan Maoqing, violated the rules of heaven, and was ordered to immediately surround the mansion of the three people!
Chen Hong has already sent Yan Song and Yan Shifan a note about the origin of Zhang Zhenren's blood meridian to Jiajing, but Jiajing still surrounded the house of Yan Shifan and others who did not go to the congratulatory table, and the unspoken information in it has already shown that the sky of the Yan Party is about to fall!
Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing were banned from staying at home, and the main figures of the Yan Party have been disposed of, and it is time to deal with the leader of the Yan Party, Yan Song.
Yan Song has been sitting firmly in the first assistant for twenty years, and I don't know how many swords, guns, swords, halberds, open guns and hidden arrows have been dealt with, and now it is his turn to become the one who is cleaned up, and see how Yan Song responds and finds a way to survive for himself?
Yan Song
When Xu Jie, the winner of this silent war, walked into Yan's house to announce the decree, Yan Song was still lying on the Taishi chair like a nobody, waiting for Xu Jie's arrival.
Xu Jie took out the recital of the imperial history Zou Yinglong's impeachment of Yan Dang from his arms and handed it to Yan Song, but Yan Song did not open it to watch, but asked Xu Jie his own question:
Has Xu Ge read this recital?
all know that Qingliu and Yan Dang have been incompatible for a long time, Xu Jie and others are always thinking about bringing down Yan Song, Yan Song also knows that behind this music is indispensable to his Xu Jie's operation, and the content of it is clear to him Xu Jie, but Yan Song still asked about Xu Jie, what does this mean?
Look at Xu Jie's answer:
Xu Jie
That's what I just saw!
I don't know about this Xu Jie, and I don't know how your Yan Party fell.
This is Xu Jie's answer, this is Xu Jie's attitude, and what Yan Song wants is Xu Jie's attitude, the purpose is to tell Xu Jie: I, Yan Song, am old, I don't see this.
The purpose is to show weakness to Xu Jie: I am already old, and after the fall, it will no longer have any impact on the situation and the situation!
Old Yan Song took Xu Jie's hand and said:
Yan Song
In the future, everything will be left to Xu Ge to be old.
After the fall of Yan Song, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet was designated by Xu Jie, and in the future, the burden of the Ming Dynasty will depend on Xu Ge Lao! I can retire when I am old, serve the emperor, and protect the Ming Dynasty, it will depend on Xu Ge Lao! In the future, the Ming Dynasty will ask the elder Ge!
When Yan Song hoped that Xu Jie would write a letter to Zhao Zhenji to lend grain to Hu Zongxian, he pointed to the chair of the cabinet chief assistant and said to Xu Jie: The position of the cabinet chief assistant will not be passed on to Yan Shifan, only you, Xu Ge, can do it!
Now I've done what I said, Xu Ge Lao!
Xu Jie obviously wouldn't accept Yan Song's feelings, but he still pretended to be unbearable and said to Yan Song:
Twenty years of prime minister, you have no merit and hard work, the emperor will not forget, and we will not forget.
Yan Song fell, and the chair of the cabinet chief assistant was "fought for" by him, not by you, Yan Song! My position as the cabinet chief assistant was appointed by the emperor, and it was not "allowed" by you!
"The Four Edicts of Yuezhong" and "The Three Sons of Wuwu", I will not forget so many things that you have done in the strict party over the years, Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng will not forget, and King Yu will not forget.
Hearing Xu Jie's answer, he slowly withdrew his hand and said:
Xu Gelao's words made me feel gratified, and I felt even more guilty.
Why do you feel guilty? Killing the "Four Admonitions of Yuezhong" and the "Three Sons of Wuwu" was indeed done by Yan Song, and he did a lot of things to frame Zhongliang, and mentioning these things to Xu Jie's "intercession" at this time really made Yan Song feel guilty.
Why is Yan Song pleased? You Xu Jie disagree, but there is still the emperor and Jiajing behind him. The emperor is the heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and I, Yan Song, have sheltered the emperor from the wind and rain for 20 years, what will he do? If he doesn't protect me, he won't be afraid of the people who will shelter him from the wind and rain in the future?
There are too many people who have fallen in my hands for more than 20 years, you Xu Ge Lao have been my deputy for more than ten years, and you can survive until I fall, Xu Ge Lao, you are a rare and kind person.
The senior realm of scolding lies in this, he is obviously scolding you, and you still think he said it very well.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what to play and talk about fasting.
For more than 20 years, he Lao Yan Song didn't know how many people he had rectified, and he didn't know how many people had fallen, but you Xu Ge couldn't help but not fall, and stayed up until I fell, so I couldn't find a chance to rectify you. In other words: You Xu Jie's hiding is so deep that even I can't find anything wrong.
"Intercession" was done, "disgusting" was done, and then it was time for the main event.
Why are you here? It can't be schadenfreude, right?
Yan Song asked:
What should I do? Will I go to Jinyi Guard's Prison, or will you, Xu Ge, escort me out of Beijing?
Is the emperor still willing to see me?
Did you make an appointment?
Yan Song asked three questions one after another, the purpose of which was to test Jiajing's attitude from Xu Jie's answer: How to deal with it?
Not really. The emperor called me here to ask me to invite the elder into the palace.
The emperor was still thinking about the old man last night.
The emperor said that the elder can go whenever he wants.
"Please enter the palace", "Remember", "Anytime", the three answers, made Yan Song immediately perceive Jiajing's attitude towards him: life or death, killing and release, Jiajing can't make up his mind about Yan Song's attitude now, and before he makes up his mind, his life and death are in this meeting!
Jiajing
Therefore, of course, Yan Song has to make full preparations for this meeting, and the preparation is: send Liuxinju pickles!
Then please wait a while.
The emperor likes to eat pickles from Liuxinju. Every time a new pickle is released, the old minister has to send a jar to the emperor.
Jiajing likes to eat Liuxinju's pickles, and Yan Song insists on sending a new jar of pickles every year.
Jiajing has eaten for twenty years, and Yan Song has also given it for twenty years!
It will be sent before the downfall, and it will be sent after the downfall.
What does it mean? It symbolizes that before the fall, I Yan Song was loyal to the emperor, and after the fall, I am still loyal to the emperor and my loyalty will not change!
This is not only to tell Xu Jie, but also to tell Jiajing: The heart of the minister remains the same!
Soon after Xu Jie ordered someone to ask the shopkeeper of Liuxinju to bring pickles and deliver them, a voice sounded outside the door:
The small people greeted the elder. On the orders of the elder Ge, they were all delivered.
The news of the imminent fall of the Yan Party has spread throughout the capital at this time, and the shopkeeper of Liuxinju has naturally heard the rumors a long time ago, and the "Pavilion Elder" called at this time is naturally Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao, not Yan Song Yan Ge Lao.
The next series of actions of the shopkeeper of Liuxinju Zhao showed that he did not recognize Yan Song now, but only Xu Jie. It also proves the sentence: The tree is down, and life is varied, it has always been like this!
Then there's the most important thing of the day: the inscription plaque of the Six Hearts!
Yan Song said to the shopkeeper of Liuxinju Zhao:
For more than 20 years, I remember you have said many times that you want to ask me to inscribe a plaque for your storefront. I'll write it to you today.
But how dare Liuxinju ask for it now? There is an inscription on the top of the shop that has fallen down Shoufu, and whether the business is good or not is secondary, and the key is whether the lives of one's own family can be saved, and we have to say something else! I have to refuse, this is the normal feeling of people!
Seeing the behavior of the boss of Liuxinju, Yan Song, who was about to put pen to paper, turned his face and said to Xu Jie with a wry smile:
Old Xu Ge, you've seen it all. Usually, how many people beg the old man for a word but can't get it. Now, the old man's words are given away in vain, and no one dares to ask for them.
In the face of changes in the imperial court, it is normal for a shop owner to know that this is the case, Yan Song said this in front of the incoming Xu Jie, why?
Of course, the purpose is to show Xu Jie, of course there is weakness, but it is more about life!
I can't help but think of what Zheng Michang said:
Be a man and leave a line, and he will see each other in the future. No matter how powerful you are, others will do the same to you when you fall......
Then he said to the shopkeeper Zhao:
Go back, and the old man won't bother you to send pickles in the future. Do business well, the emperor also likes to eat your pickles.
The shopkeeper of Liuxinju Zhao immediately bowed and turned to leave, all in one go, without pausing, without looking back.
This sentence is also said to Xu Jie: In the future, I will never cause harm to you Qingliu again. Yan Song has fallen, but Jiajing's taste has not changed, can you Xu Jie, shelter Jiajing? Will you Xu Jie, become the second Yan Song?
Think for yourself......
Okay, what I said to Xu Jie, that's all I said, and what I said to the Jinyiwei behind me is all here!
Next, it's time for Yan Song to face Jiajing:
Come on, pick a jar of eight-treasure pickles, I want to pay tribute to the emperor.
