Wang Shizhen and the One-Eyed Dragon Yan Shifan of "Golden Plum Bottle" (II)

(Continued) Strangely, after Yan Shifan, who had mediocre qualifications, his appearance was not honorable, and he had no diploma, he seemed to have changed into a person, and his spirit was instantly refreshed, like a fish in the water, and in just over ten years, under the promotion of his father, he became the left waiter of the Ministry of Works and the shaoqing of the ShangBao Division, roughly equivalent to the deputy director of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the director of the confidential office.

It is estimated that at this time, Yan Shifan is the most proud of the spring wind, the old father controls the imperial court, is the first assistant, his left hand pipe project, the right hand pipe seal, how much rebates to eat, how to stamp how to cover, simply do not be too sour, greedy is not happy.

We have reason to believe that with Yan Shifan's less prominent IQ, he actually controlled the two fattest and most oily departments in the country, and openly despised the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, saying that today, except for himself and Yang Bo (the right envoy of the Du cha yuan) and Lu Bing, no one else is insignificant. And this group of people who relied on the examination, the smartest group of people in the entire empire, actually did not say a word, and tacitly acknowledged that this was right, which showed that Yan Shifan still had two brushes.

In fact, Yan Shifan did indeed have abilities that ordinary people could not reach. He is fierce by nature, incomparable, very good at drilling camps, to put it bluntly, he is black in heart, he can pull down his face, anyone dares to repair, if someone disobeys, he will try his best to repair him, until the person stops resisting.

After a long time, everyone knows that he Yan Shifan is not easy to provoke, knows that resistance is useless, can only take the initiative to cooperate with him, and slowly he has become a master of solving problems, and Yan Laopa will be more assured to entrust the task to him. In fact, Yan Shifan acted as his father's thug, specializing in solving difficult problems.

Yan Shifan knew very well that even if no one in the world wanted to see him, he only needed to grasp the only key point and get Jiajing's approval, he was the strongest.

The Jiajing Emperor was not interested in managing the country, he only wanted to find the best agent to manage, and he only wanted to cultivate, only wanted to refine Dan, and only wanted to live for another five hundred years.

So as long as you are recognized by the emperor, you are the only person in the world, such a good thing, everyone naturally wants, Xu Jie thinks, Gao Gong thinks, Zhang Ju thinks, everyone with high authority wants.

But they all admitted that they could not do Yan Shifan, because they still retained the little Sven of the reader, and their faces were relatively thin. Including Xu Jie, who was extremely deep in the city government and finally held back for decades, killed Yan Gongzi with his backhand, and also admitted that he could not do Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan clearly knew that Jiajing was the most critical, so he indirectly controlled the emperor.

Because Jiajing likes to play guessing puzzles, from childhood and full of poetry books, so sometimes encounter questions that they don't understand, such as whether this house should be built, how to live forever, whether what the immortals say is true, there is a paragraph that does not understand what the meaning is, need to explain, and so on, these cabinet elders who live in Xiyuan, every day is to collect notes, crack riddles, and then expound their own answers, if Jiajing is satisfied, there will be a good life, if you guess wrong, the answer is not good, it is possible to get out of the egg and leave.

Poor bunch of old men can't go home every day, directly live next door to the emperor, hollow out the problem of thinking, sometimes the note written by the emperor is very strange, the old man can't think of breaking his head, when Yan Laopa really can't stand it, he will find someone to send the note out of the palace quickly and let his son Yan Shifan solve it.

It is said that one night, the Jiajing Emperor finished practicing the Tao, idle, and then looked through the scriptures and history books, and after reading them for a while, he encountered some problems that he did not understand, so he wrote on a note with a red pen and passed it to several cabinet ministers next door, asking them to answer and waiting for a reply.

But Yan Song and Xu Jie and other cabinet ministers on duty racked their brains, thinking about it, and did not fully understand what the emperor meant. Just when everyone was panicking, Yan Song spoke, "Don't worry! He immediately copied a copy of the contents of the note, handed it out through the crack in the palace door, and sent someone to the Xiang Mansion to find his son.

After Yan Shifan read it, he calmed down and immediately pointed out: The emperor means to ask where this sentence comes from and how to explain it, and this phrase is on a certain page of a certain book, how it means, all in detail.

The people who came took the answer and rushed back quickly, handed it to the cabinet department, Yan Song, Xu Jie and others checked the book, and sure enough, according to its explanation, the attached book was presented, and the emperor was very satisfied after reading it.

The books in the world, the vast sea of smoke, those university scholars in the cabinet, all of them are full of poetry and books, can not fully remember, Yan Shifan is just a stupid boy, relying on his father to go through the back door to become a superior official, he can actually see it at a glance, I have to say that Yan Gongzi still has a little ink in his stomach, known as a generation of ghost talents, and it is not a waste of time.
