Zou Yinglong's memorial was like a knife that stabbed Yan Song and his son.

Even if the Yan family and the son want to argue, it will be useless.

Inside the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son knelt on the ground and cried bitterly at Emperor Jiajing in the green gauze curtain.

On the edge of the green gauze curtain, He Liu stood at the Northern Punishment Envoy.

Yan Song said: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to teach my son! I ask the emperor to punish you! Please remember that I have been working hard for the emperor for many years in the world. I have no contribution and I have some hard work. I will spare his life!"

In the green gauze curtain, Emperor Jiajing yawned and asked He Liu: "He Liu, everyone in the Jinyiwei must recite the "Da Ming Law". Embezzle 60,000 taels of silver. What crime should be convicted according to the "Da Ming Law"?"

He Liu replied: "Your Majesty, the crime of beheading you!"

Emperor Jiajing pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Even the Queen of Qiu asked for the killing? But the killing immediately?"

He Liu replied: "Yes, the Emperor. That's how the "Da Ming Law" is written."

When Yan Song heard this, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, tears and snot. He was already in his eighties and his beards were all white. His head was white with tears and snot, and the blood from his forehead looked pitiful.

He Liu cursed in his heart: Now he remembered that he was pretending to be pitiful and begging for mercy? When you father and son framed those loyal ministers and accepted bribes with great greed, they probably wouldn't have thought that they would be today, right?

After all, Yan Song served Emperor Jiajing for decades. Emperor Jiajing still had three parts of the relationship between the monarch and the subject. Seeing Yan Song's appearance, Emperor Jiajing felt compassion in his heart.

Emperor Jiajing asked He Liu: "According to the "Da Ming Law", how much bribes are greedy for more than bribes is a death penalty?"

He Liu replied: "Your Majesty, bribery of 800 taels is a serious crime for bribery of 3,000 miles. bribery of 801 taels is a death sentence for the death sentence of Qiu Hou's death."

Emperor Jiajing said, "Oh. I look at the two large pillars in Chaotian Temple, and dozens of wooden eaves, which are worth 800 taels. Isn't it, He Liu?"

He Liu was shocked when he heard this: The emperor actually wanted to save Yan Shifan's life?

Emperor Jiajing said again: "Hmm? He Liu, reply!"

He Liu had no choice but to answer: "The Holy Ming Tianzong is not better than the Emperor. Those two pillars, as well as dozens of wooden eaves, are indeed only worth 800 taels."

When Yan Song and his son heard this, they were grateful: "Thank you for not killing the emperor!"

Emperor Jiajing said, "Don't thank me for it. I still have committed a serious crime with bribes of 800 taels. I can be exempted from death, but I can't escape the crime of living. I will then be exempted from all official positions in Yan Shifan, three thousand miles away, and I will be moved to Leizhou."

"The criminals received the order to thank you!" Yan Shifan kowtowed.

Yan Song suddenly said to Emperor Jiajing: "Emperor, I have no way to teach my sons. I would like to resign from all official positions and return to my hometown to think about my mistakes."

Yan Song used the method of retreating to advance.

In the Ming Dynasty, people in the officialdom had "three thoughts as an official" and only said it. One is to think about danger: if you know the danger, you can avoid danger. This is called thinking about danger.

One is about thinking about retreating: avoiding the right and wrong nest and retreating to a place where others don’t pay attention to you. This is called thinking about retreating.

One is about thinking about change: when you step down, you will have the opportunity to watch slowly and slowly think about what you should do in the future. This is called thinking about change.

More than ten years ago, Yan Song fought with his ex-天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天. When Xia Yan was at a disadvantage, he used the method of "think

Yan Song was using the enemy's method in the past, and retreated as advance. He thought to himself: Most of the officials from the capital and the officials in the local border are mine. Even if I retreat behind the scenes, I can control the court with a commoner!

Emperor Jiajing in the green gauze curtain thought for a long time and said, "Is Yan Aiqing aged this year?"

Yan Song replied: "I am eighty-two years old."

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "At thirty, at forty, at forty, at fifty, at the destiny of heaven, at sixty, at seventy, at the right ear, at seventy, at the right time, without exceeding the rules. Eighty... Alas, it is hard for Yan Aiqing, and eighty-two are still working hard for the government. I should give you back to your hometown to retire! Yan Aiqing is given the title of Prince and Grand Tutor to return to your hometown to retire. After returning to your hometown, your salary will be provided as usual."

Yan Song was overjoyed and kowtowed: "I, I will thank you for your kindness!"

Emperor Jiajing walked out of the green curtain and walked to Yan Shifan: "Your father is already eighty-two. Can you make less trouble for him? Let him enjoy his old age, enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family!"

Yan Shifan hurriedly bowed: "I was confused for a moment. I am sorry for the emperor's kindness for his understanding of the minister, and I am sorry for my father's sincere teachings."

Emperor Jiajing said: "Forget it! You have to be a military officer in Leizhou. You must sincerely regret it. If you have the chance in the future, I will use you again!"

He Liu, who was standing beside him, smiled in his heart: The emperor can really tell lies with his eyes closed. The emperor has already become more stern, so how could he really use Yan Shifan again?

Emperor Jiajing said, "Okay, you guys go down."

Yan Shifan and Yan Song stood up and stepped back towards the palace gate.

Emperor Jiajing roared: "Yan Shifan! Your father is eighty-two, don't you know how to support him?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he hurriedly helped Yan Song.

After the Yan family's father and son left, Emperor Jiajing called the chief of the Sili Supervisor Lu Fang into the hall. Emperor Jiajing first asked He Liu: "He Liu, did I hear that Yang Lian has two sons?"

He Liudao: "Your Majesty, Yang Lian's eldest son Yang Yingwei and the second son Yang Yingqi are now living in the mansion of Wang Shizhen, the military military prefecture in Qingzhou, Shandong. According to Wang Juntai, these two children are very hard-working in their studies."

Emperor Jiajing said: "Lu Fang, I will issue an order and give them to the Imperial College for study. After the loyal and good deeds, I will give you good pensions."

Lu Fang said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Jiajing asked again: "If I remember correctly the Zou Yinglong who wrote the letter, he has been in the position of the Censorate of the Censorate for six years. I see, he can still do well to promote him to two levels and become a senator of the Tongzheng Department."

Lu Fang said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Jiajing said: "Okay, Lu Fang, hurry up and go to the Sili Supervisor to draft an order."

After Lu Fang left, Emperor Jiajing sat back into the green gauze curtain.

He asked He Liu: "He Liu, do you think that I have convicted Yan Shifan of exile and spared him a little?"

He Liu bowed: "I dare not deceive the emperor. I believe that it is just that exile is too cheap."

Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "If it were Xu Jie, he would never say that. That's why, you can only be the Jinyiwei - my family slave, but Xu Jie can be the secondary assistant of the cabinet. You still don't understand the court!"

He Liudao: "I am a stupid and straightforward person. I only know how to be loyal to the emperor. It is better for me to not understand the national affairs. If I understand, I will have many fears and cannot be loyal to the emperor with due diligence. The emperor is the most wise monarch from ancient times to the present. I am willing to be a sword in the hands of the emperor. Whoever the emperor asks me to deal with, I will deal with."

Emperor Jiajing laughed: "He Liu, now you have learned to tell lies and flatter me. People from the Imperial Hospital have seen Liu Bing. He has suffered from incurable diseases. He has only been able to live a few months. You can take the time to see him. After all, he has been your boss for twenty years."

After Emperor Jiajing said this, He Liu's heart moved: Could it be that the emperor wants me to take over as commander after Lubing's death? If this is true, the old case in the Tianzi secret room will be revealed!

In the winter of the 41st year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan, the Minister of Works and the Minister of Works, embezzled 800 taels of silver from the Ministry of Commerce, was convicted of the matter and moved to Leizhou.

Yan Shifan, the cabinet assistant, resigned, and Emperor Jiajing gave him the title of Prince Taishi to return to his hometown to support his elderly care, and his salary supply remained unchanged.

After Yan Song retired, Xu Jie, the second assistant in the cabinet, took over as assistant.

Zou Yinglong, the Censor of the Censorate, exposed Yan Shifan's corruption for his meritorious service, and was promoted to two levels, and was transferred to the left to the Senate of the Tongzheng Department.

The Yan Shifan case came to an end. The Yan family father and son lost their official position and Xu Jie served as the assistant. It seemed that this party struggle ended with the victory of the Yuwang Party.

He Liu, who had already become the Northern Punishment Envoy, knew in his heart that the battle between the Yan Party and the Yu Party had just begun!
