Chapter 1296

Zhang Yong still looked leisurely and at ease, seemingly not paying attention to Master Yan Song. The man knew that Zhang Yong's martial arts was far superior to his own, so he secretly felt lucky, thinking that it was lucky that Master Yan didn't understand martial arts, so he didn't think so.

I have some doubts about Cai Cai. Just now, the old guy stopped the plate with his internal force, but did not take the opportunity to fight back, otherwise I would have to make a fool of myself. Lord Yan doesn't know that I have been defeated by this old guy, so naturally he won't

He looked down upon me. Although he scolded me a few times, they were just perfunctory words to show his face. I could just use the slope to stop fighting with this old guy.

Yan Song had a deep scheming mind and had survived decades of ups and downs in the officialdom. His skills as an official had reached the level of proficiency. He saw Shou Nanshan's vulgar speech, ordinary clothes, and slovenly appearance. However, occasionally his eyes would stare, and his eyes would be shining brightly. His behavior

There was quite an aura of luxury in it. Therefore, Yan Song did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest, and said respectfully: "I'm ashamed, Yan has been in high and low officialdom for many years, but has not achieved much. This makes the old gentleman laugh."

Shou Nanshan shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I see you are shining brightly, it is the time for great fortune. In the future, you will join the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and you will have a bright future."

Yan Song was startled, shook his head hurriedly and said, "Mr. Yan is serious. Yan will never dare to have such an idea."

Shou Nanshan smiled and said: "If you are lucky, even if you don't want to, your career will be bright. You are a character, and I will never make a mistake."

Yan Song saw that Shounanshan respected him so much and didn't know what he was planning, so he pondered for a moment and then said: "Old Mr. Yan Guan has a magnanimous mind and a noble aura. He is definitely not a figure in the world. Yan did not dare to ask for advice.

The origin of the old gentleman is that we are destined to meet here. If the old gentleman can teach Yan a few words about being an official, Yan will be grateful."

Shou Nanshan laughed loudly and was about to speak. However, he saw Shopkeeper Feng holding a lacquer tray with three jugs of wine that had just been boiled and walking over quickly. Shou Nanshan stopped talking until Shopkeeper Feng put the wine jugs in his hands.

After putting it down and leaving with a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "I said you are a character because you have a sword hidden in your smile and a sword hidden in your mouth. If you use it in the officialdom, it will naturally be detrimental to you!"

Everyone did not expect Shou Nanshan to say such a sentence, and everyone was horrified and dumbfounded. Everyone was thinking, Shou Nanshan had praised Yan Song so much just now, so why did he sneer at him in the blink of an eye? Did he mean it just now?

I praise Yan Song, but why do I want to ridicule him just for this moment?

Yan Song was even more embarrassed and annoyed. He heard Shou Nanshan continue to say: "Don't think I'm making fun of you. The officialdom is dangerous, and there are traps at every step. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation that will never be recovered.

.At your age, if everything went smoothly in the officialdom, you would have already become famous in the six departments of the capital. But the word "Yan Song" is not famous. I think the official career will be wasted and there will be many bumps. However, in the past twenty years, first of all,

There was the Liu Jin Rebellion, and later Qian Ning and Jiang Bin took power. After Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne and took up his throne, the dispute over the great etiquette caused a lot of confusion. The officials in the capital were like leeks being cut, falling one crop after another. You kid

If you had been an official in the capital in the past twenty years, you would have been flipped upside down and cooked until the bones and dregs were gone. How could you sit here and drink with me in such a good manner? How could you be here two years ago?

You have been pursuing gains and avoiding disasters for ten years, which shows that your skills as an official and your ability to deal with the world have reached the level of proficiency. If you didn't have the ability to hide a knife in a smile and talk with a sweet heart, you wouldn't be alive today."

When Shou Nanshan said this, he paused for a moment, sighed, and then said: "It's a pity that many good officials don't know the power of it, and they only fight to the death with those rogue officials. As a result, they end up being miserable. It should be noted that with

To fight against treacherous ministers, one must be more cunning and cunning than the treacherous ministers. From the Zhengde Dynasty to the Jiajing Dynasty, a few people who understood this truth all joined the cabinet and became the cabinet elders. Your brother is a capable minister with a high heart.

It is certainly not unusual to enter the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister."

Only then did Yan Song feel relieved, sighed, and said: "The old man's words awakened the man in the dream, which made Yan both grateful and admired. To be honest, for the past twenty years, he has secretly scolded Yan for following the trend.

, there are many despicable colleagues and subordinates. But they never think that Yan is just a petty official and an idle official. If he does not follow the superior's wishes, not only Yan will be unlucky, but all the officials and subordinates under him will have to follow.

Yan is in trouble. Yan can't ruin the jobs of hundreds or thousands of people just for the sake of one person's reputation, can't he?"

Shou Nanshan chuckled, but did not answer. He only heard Yan Song continue to say: "When Yan first entered the officialdom, it was in the 18th year of Hongzhi. Thanks to the emperor's grace, Yan was able to work as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. At that time, he was in charge of the academy.

The bachelor is Bai Shiying, Lord Bai. Lord Bai is honest and virtuous, hates evil as much as hatred, and is a great and good official. Unfortunately, the eunuch Peng Jin has already matured and is thinking about fighting for power and profit. He controls the twenty-four yamen in the palace, and uses Dongchang as his hawk.

, externally contacted some treacherous ministers in the imperial court, and collaborated with each other. Master Bai saw through Peng Jin's conspiracy, and together with more than a dozen bachelors and editors from the Hanlin Academy, as well as more than 20 assistant ministers from the six departments of the imperial court, he jointly submitted a memorial to expose Peng Jin's wolfish ambitions.

He asked the emperor to punish Peng Jin for his crime. As a result, Peng Jin had been prepared for it, but instead reported to Lord Bai that he had formed a clique for personal gain, framed internal officials, and had disobedient intentions. The memorials from both sides were submitted to the emperor. The emperor met with Lord Bai and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to compile the report.

More than 30 people, including the six ministers, chief ministers and others, jointly submitted the memorial. They became suspicious. When they saw Peng Jin’s memorial, it became clear that Mr. Bai had formed a clique for personal gain and had evil intentions. As a result, the emperor was furious and exiled Mr. Bai to the border and signed the memorial.

All the bachelors, editors, ministers and ministers of the Six Ministries of the Hanlin Academy were dismissed from office and questioned. Peng Jin took the opportunity to join forces with the censor and the officials of the Six Ministries who had been bribed by him, and beat all the officials who were against him on weekdays into Lord Bai.

One party. Thousands of people were implicated in this case, and the righteous men of the Hanlin Academy and loyal ministers in the court were all wiped out. Forty or fifty officials died because of this case."

When Yan Song said this, he glanced at Shou Nanshan and then said: "At that time, all the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy were very angry and wanted to write notes to avenge Master Bai. Only Yan thought that this matter was absolutely impossible and wanted Na Peng to control it.

He joined the twenty-four yamen in the palace and appointed himself the governor of the East Factory. Eunuch Bingbi was his best friend. Even if everyone wrote the report, the emperor would not see it. Moreover, the major case was not resolved, and the emperor still suspected that there were cliques and cliques in the court.

Jin's murder weapon has not yet been withdrawn. At this time, he went on to plead guilty for Master Bai, which further solidified his charge of "gathering accomplices with evil intentions." I'm afraid that Master Bai will not be saved, but a large number of people will suffer the same fate.

"Yan only said a few words, and then some of his colleagues accused Yan of being greedy for life and fearing death, and being a despicable and shameless villain. Some even got so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat Yan. They remembered the news about the Tumu Fort Incident.

When the news reached the capital, a group of civil servants beat Ma Shun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, to death in the main hall. It can be seen that if everyone shares the same hatred, it is not difficult to kill a man with martial arts skills, even if the civil servants are powerless.

Yan was a civil servant, so naturally he couldn't compare with Ma Shun. So when he saw everyone in this state, he had no choice but to keep silent and go home sick.

"As expected, these bachelors of the Hanlin Academy were framed by Peng Jin after they were compiled by editors. Almost all of them were classified as bachelor Bai's party, and were dismissed from the court. A dozen of them were thrown into prison and suffered

Endless torture. Although Peng Jin later fell from power, his godson Liu Jin was even more powerful than him. Not only did he wield power in the court, but he was also more rebellious and almost overturned the Ming Dynasty. If it hadn't been for Master Bai's case

As a result, there are no righteous people in the court, and if Liu Jin wants to gain power, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

When Yan Song said this, Shou Nanshan chuckled and said: "I think Lord Yan realized that the affairs of the court were no longer feasible, so he immediately reported illness and went home to wait for the weather to change and wait for the weather. Is that right?"

Yan Song said seriously: "What the old man said is right. At that time, Peng Jin had already matured, and his followers were in power both inside and outside the court. Some officials knew that they could not do anything, so they were determined to die and still wanted to get rid of them.

Losing Peng Jin to join the party is like throwing an egg at a stone. In the end, although Peng Jin was overthrown, a more powerful Liu Jin came to power. If everyone can be more strategic and not confront Peng Jin, but temporarily tolerate it,

If we look for his flaws and then give him a fatal blow, how can there be any disaster like Liu Jin's later?!"
