Those Things in the Ming Dynasty Part 4 Whitewashing the Peace _ Chapter 8 There are only three people in the world
Xu Jie’s team
Xu Jie returned to the capital and began to work in a new unit. His position was as a horse wash in the East Palace and as an attendant of the Hanlin Academy. In short, he was a student in the training course for princelings and prime ministers. Ten years later, he once again entered the center of power in the empire.
But this time he is no longer as proud as he was ten years ago, because along the way, he has paid the price for his arrogance, and he also learned that he was able to stand up because of that Xia Chief Assistant
blessing.
He simply couldn't believe that in the officialdom of the imperial court, there was such a person who did things fairly and regardless of past suspicions. Xu Jie's heart was filled with gratitude, and he decided to bring a gift and go visit this senior.
But when he saw Xia Yan, he realized that he seemed to have made a wrong calculation. Mr.
I waved my hand to interrupt him, and let him leave with a few words:
"I don't have a good impression of you. I called you back to Beijing just to select talents for the country. You don't need to thank me, and you don't need to come again in the future."
Xu Jie took back the gift, but a smile appeared on his face, because he already understood that the old man in front of him, who did good things but did not admit it, although he seemed old-fashioned and serious, was actually a good person.
Xu Jie's judgment was correct. Since entering the imperial court, Xia Shoufu had personally inquired about his work many times and praised him profusely. But he never mentioned all this in front of Xu Jie.
In this way, Xia Shoufu, who was in his sixties, and Xu Hanlin, who was in his thirties, established a unique relationship, a sincere relationship without interests or transactions.
Xia Yan is a man with firm moral principles. Although he is well versed in the principles of officialdom, he is not afraid of the emperor or the powerful. He dares to speak out and does not engage in mountaineering. He is willing to do anything that is beneficial to the country. So he is willing to
Promote those who are capable, even if he doesn't like this person - such as Xu Jie.
In addition, Xia Yan also has another characteristic - he never forms cliques. No matter how many people come to seek refuge, he refuses them. He is a solid official bachelor. But if you think this is a noble character,
That would be a big mistake.
You must know that Mr. Xia Yan is also an old fox in the officialdom. He does not form small groups, but does it for the emperor. The emperor is the most polished commander and only likes people who are more polished than him.
Ordinarily this move is correct, but Xia Yan went too far. He never united with his comrades at work, walked with his head held high every day, and was not afraid of falling. So much so that the ministers made up a jingle like this - "If you don't see Xia Yan, you don't know."
Respect each other”.
If you get into this situation, you are not far from death.
Relatively speaking, Xu Jie's situation is better. He can make some connections and make a few friends, but compared with the top political masters of his generation, his face is not thick enough and his heart is not dark enough. If he loses Xia
With Yan's shelter and only existing resources, there is only a dead end to deal with the terrifying enemies that are about to approach.
But God always seems to be blessing this man. From the day he stepped into the East Palace, a powerful and mysterious political organization has begun to closely watch his every move.
At that time, the East Palace was crowded with elites in the imperial court. Most of them were from the Imperial Academy and were young. They had not been in the officialdom for a long time and were relatively simple. However, the keen Xu Jie was surprised to find that here, it seemed that
A secret political organization is active, and its members have very close ties with each other.
Out of curiosity, he made friends with two of them, one named Zhao Shichun and the other named Tang Shunzhi.
As the top pick in the second year of Jiajing (1523), Xu Jie showed off his qualifications a bit. But if you look at the resumes of these two people, you will find that there is someone outside the world.
Zhao Shichun, a native of Pingliang, passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen. In the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), he came first in the examination and was awarded Huiyuan.
Tang Shunzhi, a native of Wujin, ranked first in the examination in the eighth year of Jiajing (1529) and was named Huiyuan.
The reason why Xu Jie approached them was mainly out of curiosity, because he found that the speech and behavior of this group of people were very strange and different from ordinary people. However, when he cautiously contacted each other, he realized that these two people had the same strong feelings for him.
interest.
Zhao Shichun and Tang Shunzhi accepted him enthusiastically and soon became his friends. As their understanding deepened, Xu Jie was surprised to find that he had many things in common with these two people, from principles of dealing with things to political opinions.
The resemblance was striking. Soon, they turned from friends into comrades.
The so-called comrades refer to people who share the same goals.
But in this harmonious atmosphere, Xu Jie's suspicion grew. His intuition told him that this similarity was by no means accidental, and there must be something hidden behind it.
It wasn't until one day when he heard Tang Shunzhi's words that he finally solved this doubt.
"I am Wang Ji's disciple."
Xu Jie smiled. Nie Bao had mentioned this name to him a long time ago, and he remembered very clearly that Wang Ji was Wang Shouren's direct disciple.
They come from all over the world, but come together because of a common identity - Wang Xuemen.
"Is there anyone else?" Xu Jie finally understood what connected these unrelated people.
"Yes, there are many more people." Tang Shunzhi replied meaningfully.
In this way, Xu Jie became one of them, because they upheld the same belief and followed the teachings of the same person.
This is a special group. What brings them together is not interests, but a common political philosophy.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie, who was a junior, quickly became the leader of the group, often organizing activities for everyone (learning and communicating about psychology). This is a rather strange phenomenon, because in terms of seniority, Tang Shunzhi is the real No. 1
Three generations of direct disciples, but Xu Jie's teacher Nie Bao did not officially become a disciple (self-proclaimed), so Xu Jie's turn was not in the line of seniority.
But no one had any objection to this, because they knew very well that Xu Jie, who was on the rise in his career, was their best choice.
Xu Jie thus had his first team, but his experience is often ignored by people. This is not surprising, because compared with the numerous political gangs at that time, this organization was more practical in terms of manpower and material resources.
It was also inconspicuous, but it turned out that it was this seemingly insignificant group that launched the decisive blow at the last moment of the decisive battle.
There was nothing to do in the East Palace, so Xu Jie stayed in Wang Shouren's theoretical training class for four years, waiting for a new position.
In the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543), Xu Jie was appointed as the Imperial Academy’s Jijiu, which is roughly equivalent to today’s president of the National Academy of Administration. Students here can become officials without taking the civil service examination. Although the quota is limited, as long as they can get through,
His career prospects are pretty good, and when he sees Principal Xu, he naturally has to bow respectfully. This is Xu Jie's second personal network resource.
Speed up, Xu Jie, you don't have much time to prepare for the war.
After serving as principal for two years, Xu Jie got a crucial job - Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, that is, deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Xu Jie should really feel lucky. Without this job, he would most likely lose the qualification to stand on the duel stage, be killed cleanly, or be reduced to an inconspicuous supporting role for the rest of his life.
Scientific research has proven that, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to the 21st century, as far away as the cannibal tribe in the African jungle, and as close as the old aunt’s neighborhood committee at the doorstep, no matter which country or era, the human resources department is the best, let me tell you
Just mention you and ask you to get out, so you have to get out.
Therefore, the bureaucracy in the Ming Dynasty has always been the most difficult yamen. It is said that the words are unpleasant and the face is ugly. A small sixth-grade chief dares to scold the local chief envoy. You dare not talk back. Just give him an honest answer.
If you treat me as a grandson, if grandpa is not happy, he will write a few notes on your child's file and keep you quiet for twenty years.
Xu Jie is the only exception. Since he entered the official department, he has not trained anyone. Whenever a local official comes to see him, as long as he has time, he receives it personally and talks for more than ten minutes.
Many people were frightened and excited. When they returned home, they would tell everyone with runny noses and tears, "Brother, how did Mr. Xu do when I was in the Ministry of Civil Affairs? It was so cool."
However, according to my own estimation, based on Xu Jie’s work intensity, it would be very good if he could remember the names of those people. Only a ghost can remember what they said. But in any case, Xu Jie gained a broad mass base and became a
A popular figure in official circles.
Keep working hard, that earth-shattering change is coming soon, there is only one year left.
At this time, Yan Song was also planning closely, and the situation had reached an extremely dangerous point. Xia Yan occupied a high position, and his disguise had been exposed. His plans were obvious, and measures must be taken to get rid of him.
But Yan Song has no confidence, because Xia Yan is much stronger than his predecessor Zhang Cong. He is talented and powerful, and he is never afraid and is good at fighting. He is really too powerful.
However, at this time, someone stood up and told Yan Song that, in fact, Xia Yan was easy to deal with.
This man's name is Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song. This man has a very distinctive appearance - he has a fat head and big ears. He is also blind in one eye and is considered semi-blind. With his appearance, walking on the street will affect the appearance of the city, but
Facts have proved that he is indeed an extremely powerful person.
"Xia Yan is very talented and judgmental. He seems to be tough, but he is hesitant and indecisive. Although he is in a high position, he is not terrible. He is not a great person."
Yan Shifan looked at his father confidently and then said:
"The so-called geniuses in the world, looking at the world today, there are only three of them!"
"The first one is Yang Bo, the censor of the capital, the right minister of the Imperial Procuratorate."
Yang Bo, a native of Puzhou, was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing (1529). His test scores were average. After the college entrance examination, he was assigned to be a county magistrate in a remote place. Compared with his classmates, he looked like a disgraced man. But how can this man be said to have golden scales?
He was a creature in the pond. He turned over when it rained. He had a lot of brushes. Although he was a civil servant, he was also proficient in military affairs. Later, for some reason, he was spotted by Zhai Luan, the then cabinet scholar, and was transferred to the capital.
He was the chief of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and then went to the Military Affairs Department (commonly known as the poorest and busiest) to work as a foreign minister.
Because he was promoted too quickly, many people were dissatisfied, but it turned out that the senior leaders' vision was correct. Yang Bo was indeed a genius. He had a very special ability - photographic memory, which was said to be so great that
He could memorize everything from national affairs to the local topography once he had seen it once. In addition, he could speak several local dialects, which would have earned him a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan today.
Therefore, in addition to doing his daily work well, he also often worked as a secretary for leaders and went out for inspections. His most glorious experience occurred during his days as a secretary.
Once, Academician Zhai was ordered to patrol the border. This was the so-called inspection of the national border and condolences to the officers and soldiers. This was a hard job. There were no helicopters at that time. If the border post was built in a remote area or plateau area, the academician would have to climb a ravine.
Go and have a cup of tea with someone so you can go out and do business.
Fearing that he would never come back, Bachelor Zhai decided to take Yang Bo with him. Facts have proved that this move is very wise. The future is not very bright. Not to mention the wind and rain along the way, when they arrived in Suzhou, they unexpectedly encountered
The path of calamity.
This is really strange. The second most important person in the imperial court (Zhai Luan was ranked second in the cabinet) was robbed by bandits. But in those days, no matter what kind of cadre you were, the bandits were still doing their jobs. In a word, just pay!
What's even more strange is that when seeing this group of robbers, none of Academician Zhai's bodyguards came forward, and Academician Zhai himself was dumbfounded, because this was a group of robbers with political backgrounds - Manfan.
The so-called barbarians refer to local ethnic minorities or uncivilized people in ancient times. These people rely on the mountains and the mountains. When they hear that a high official has arrived, not only are they not afraid of sharing (there is nothing to share in poor places), but they run around telling each other, adhering to the high official's tradition.
The spirit of big robbery, small officials and small robbery, enthusiastically mobilized everyone to rob the road. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you don't rob, it will be useless.
Of course, when they rob the road, they also use courtesy first and then attack. They send people to contact them first. The so-called "invitation reward" is best to give money. If we can't invite you, we will go home and fuck the guy.
After thinking about it, Academician Zhai decided to use force to solve the problem, but the guards around him did not carry out his orders. The reason was very simple: there were many people on the other side, really many (hundreds of people blocked the road).
This was the first one, and they had specifically promised that the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt had not arrived yet and would come after dinner.
Trouble is, there are not many people in the local government in this remote place. We have to mobilize troops to rescue him. I'm afraid that by the time they arrive, Bachelor Zhai's head will have been used as a chamber pot.
At the critical moment, face was no longer important. Since he couldn't fight, Scholar Zhai planned to run away, but then Yang Bo stood up:
"As long as I am here, you will be safe!"
Zhai Luan looked at Yang Bo very curiously and stopped.
In fact, in this world, as long as you dare to fool, any miracle is possible. As the saying goes: Nothing can be ignored unless you think of it.
Yang Bo summoned all the guards, asked them to arrange their clothes and get their ceremonial equipment, and then walked out of the barracks majestically. Before Man Fan could react, Yang Bo shouted at them:
"Line up to welcome us!"
This voice confused the robber. How dare the person who was robbed be so arrogant?
The arrogant one was still behind, Yang Bo continued to shout:
"Master Zhai is a cabinet scholar. He led an army here first. You came out to greet us, but only these few people came. Where are the rest of them? If you still dare to be so disrespectful, I will arrest you all!"
When you were robbed, you thought we had too few people? Now the robbers were at a loss as to what to do. While they were hesitating, Yang Bo spoke again:
"For the sake of you coming out to greet me, I'll give you some rewards. Pay attention next time!"
This is the legendary fight and pull. Brother Yang Bo is extremely smart. You must know that robbers also pay attention to auspiciousness and never make an empty trip. It is also meaningful to give them some money.
Scholar Zhai finally returned to the capital safely, and Yang Bo became famous and became a top official in the court.
"The second person is the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the commander-in-chief, Lu Bing."
The strongest royal guard in the Ming Dynasty
In February of the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), Ding Mao.
Night. Four Drums. Jiajing Palace.
Jiajing, who was out on a tour, was sleeping peacefully in his palace. At the same time, a few wisps of black smoke began to rise in the dark corners.
In an instant, the fire broke out. Due to the strong wind and darkness, the fire spread quickly and was difficult to control. The guards were in a hurry and were not familiar with the direction (this was the palace). They could not find the emperor. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, many guards
I have given up hope and am ready to go to the streets to buy white cloth and plan a memorial service.
At this moment, a brother suddenly got his shirt wet and rushed into the sea of fire with no arms. Everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, the man who put out the fire suddenly
The team members rushed out with another person on their backs.
Everyone was sighing that this guy was so stupid, he dared to risk his life for a few dozen taels of silver a year. When they saw the person on his back, everyone unanimously sighed that this life was really worth playing, and it was worth a lot.
Emperor Jiajing was carried out of the sea of fire in this way, which could be said to have narrowly escaped death.
When the guards settled the emperor and the savior washed his face and revealed his true face, everyone completely lost the courage to sigh and immediately dispersed, running as far as they could.
Because this person has a special profession and is not easy to mess with. He is Lu Bing, who was the highest officer of Jinyiweinan Town Fusi at that time.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, spy organizations emerged in endlessly, but there were only two that implemented them throughout, Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
The Jinyiwei has the longest history, but Dongchang has come from behind, because the people in charge of Dongchang are eunuchs. Although their physical strength is often not as good as ordinary people (except for those who have practiced the Sunflower Book) due to the unfortunate stabbing, they can easily become the emperor's confidants, and the Jinyiwei chief
The conductor has no obvious physical defects, so he is naturally a little inferior.
Over time, the status of Jinyiwei became lower and lower, and some unsatisfactory officers would take the initiative to kneel down to the eunuchs of Dongchang. Since Yongle, Dongchang has always had an overwhelming advantage most of the time, and Jinyiwei can only helplessly
Playing a supporting role.
There is only one exception.
It seems to be God's deliberate arrangement. In this turbulent era, Lu Bing appears. In the hands of this terrible person, Jin Yiwei will become the most terrifying weapon of struggle.
But what is even more interesting is that Lu Bing, the guard in uniform who has been a powerful figure in the world for more than ten years and is famous and frightening, is actually not a bad person.
Lu Bing was born in an extraordinary family. His family has been officials for generations. Please pay attention to the word "generation". This is where the power lies. How long does this "generation" last?
Generally speaking, it has to last a hundred years, right?
One hundred years? That’s the starting price, starting from six hundred years! And there’s no discount!
It is said that his family has been officials since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Countless people fought and killed in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song, Meng and Yuan Dynasties, but it seems to have little to do with his family. Although there were times when the family fell into decline and suffered for a period of time.
But basically he can always find a job, and his level of tenacity is beyond the reach of Feng Dao, the super old man from the fifth generation.
In the Ming Dynasty, this family was even more prosperous. Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, took over his ancestor's position and became a member of the palace honor guard. Soon after, he was selected by a vassal king and became his personal attendant.
It should be said that in the Ming Dynasty, there was not much of a future for following the vassal kings. Either they followed the rebellion and were hacked to death (the only one who succeeded was Mr. Zhu Di), or they stayed in a small place and suffocated to death. But this vassal king was an exception - Xingxian
king.
Everyone knows that his son is Jiajing, but although Lu Song is lucky, his wife is even better luck - she was called into the palace to be a wet nurse. Why is she said to be lucky?
Because the child she fed was none other than Jiajing.
But brother Lu Bing was still young at the time and could not be left to the kindergarten, so Lu Bing had to follow his mother into the palace, where his mother was breastfeeding while he played.
A few years later, he was still playing there, but with a friend next to him.
Mr. Lu Bing spent his childhood like this. The friend he played with later went to Beijing and became the emperor, and Lu Bing always followed him and protected him.
To briefly summarize, Lu Bing and the emperor grew up eating the same milk and playing the same games. In today's terms, they were naked friends.
So you can rule out the possibility of speculation. The main reason why this brother came to serve as a firefighter is that the person inside is his friend.
This is the situation of Lu Bing's family. The seventh and eighth generations of his ancestors were either bureaucrats or landlords. To catch up with the times of division, he would probably have to be dragged around the streets for two or three months.
It is said that rich families often have prodigal children. However, Lu Bing, who grew up in this environment, is an unusual one.
Man, it's so unusual.
Sometimes you will meet such a person in life, who studies better than you, is better at sports than you, has a richer family than you, and is more handsome than you... Well, I won't list them. In a word, they are no better than you.
I'll piss you off too.
Lu Bing roughly falls into this category. The young man is very handsome and has a good physique. What is even more special is that he has a unique walking posture - "walking like a crane."
What a talent. As long as you go home and read Teacher Zhao's Animal World and see how the crane walks, you will understand that Mr. Lu Bing is really extraordinary. If you were an ordinary person, you would be exhausted.
Being rich and powerful, with outstanding appearance and "elegant" posture, it is difficult for you not to be arrogant, but this brother has another characteristic - modesty and prudence.
To the surprise of many people, Lu Bing, who was born into a noble family, is a very low-key person. He is also very polite to the people around him. He does not have the airs of a high-ranking official. What is even more surprising is that this brother's official position is actually his own.
Passed the exam.
There were two types of imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, one of which was the civil examination. People across the country competed for hundreds of places, which was extremely difficult. However, there was another examination that was more difficult than this, and that was the martial arts examination.
The literary test is like walking on a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, so the martial arts test is roughly like walking on a tightrope. The test also depends on luck, psychological quality, nutritional level, examiner's preferences and so on. If you fall, it doesn't matter.
If you can't drown, get up and take the exam again.
But this method will not work in the martial arts test, because it requires copying real guys fighting. The content of the test is rich and colorful. In addition to horse fighting and infantry fighting, bow and arrow shooting skills are also tested. The copied materials included in these games are
It's useless. If you don't know how to do it, don't come on stage as soon as possible, or you might be destroyed.
But the most unfortunate thing is that even if you survive the physical fitness test and the martial arts display, at the last moment, there is still a wicked level - policy analysis.
The so-called policy analysis means giving you a question and asking you to write the answer, such as the military situation around our country, etc.
This is what makes people difficult. People in this field are basically from military families. To put it bluntly, they are professional military illiterates. Most of them are old and rough. If you can write down your name clearly, it is worthy of praise.
Do you still expect these people to write policy papers?
Of course, there are many masters, and Lu Bing is one of them. This dear friend took part in the examination in the eighth year of Jiajing (1529). Not only did he have great kung fu, he was also very talented in literature, and he won the first place in one fell swoop.
Such an elite talent and the emperor's iron brother naturally did not need to be assigned to a place. After the exam, Lu Bing was awarded a special position - Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei. From then on, he became a member of this mysterious organization.
After that, he worked hard and actively, rising all the way up. In the 18th year of Jiajing (1539), after this man fished the emperor out of the fire, he finally moved up to the next level and became a special agent among special agents - the Great Special Agent (Commander of the Jinyi Guards).
.
Facts have proved that Commander Lu is really an extraordinary person. Generally speaking, the main job of a spy is to snoop around, make snitches, frame up cases, etc. However, the first thing Commander Lu did after taking office was actually
Leave subordinates stunned - redress an injustice.
There are two major Jinyiwei subordinate town Fusi, namely Nanzhen Fusi and Beizhen Fusi. Nanzhen Fusi manages the regular affairs of Jinyiwei, while Beizhen Fusi only manages one prison - the famous "Edict Prison"
, also known as "Jinyi Prison".
"Edict Prison" is commonly known as hell on earth. Once you squat in it, it will be difficult to get out if you don't leave some souvenirs on your body. In the early days, it was mainly for high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Later, the threshold was lowered, and people like Zhang, Li, Si, Wang and Er Mazi could also come here.
A tour.
The quality of the people in charge of the prison is indeed not high. They are always doing things like extortion. Regardless of whether they are guilty or not, they beat them as soon as they are put in. They ask for money after the beating. If they have no money, they continue to beat them. The situation is extremely miserable. I guess
When Dou E got here, she didn't even feel that she was unjust. Moreover, these people were very serious in their attitude, and they could handle the case of injustice seamlessly. They had all the documents and no flaws at all. There was no way to correct them.
Therefore, all the commanders of the Jinyi Guards in the past knew about it and did not care about it, so Lu Bing came to take charge.
One day, he suddenly summoned the investigators to a meeting. When the gang of brothers who committed unjust cases arrived, Lu Bing first entertained the guests, greeted them, and then very politely presented a few cases and asked them to talk about the circumstances of the cases.
Naturally, these old fritters don't tell the truth, they talk nonsense, come and go, and say nothing.
Lu Bing was not angry at all. He just called a subordinate and gave him this order:
"Go out and close the door. No one is allowed out without my order!"
Then he sat down contentedly and looked at his earth-colored subordinates leisurely.
The meaning has been made clear. If we don't explain the problem clearly today, everyone will not leave. Anyway, I live here and let's see who can endure it.
These brothers were really clueless, and when they saw this posture, they quickly confessed honestly.
The matter was solved, but there was one thing they still couldn't figure out. The case file was made airtight, and it was more than enough to deceive superiors and conceal it. How could it be seen through?
In fact, Lu Bing did not read the case file, he just went to the imperial prison.
The prison was full of flies and the stench was overwhelming. Except for the prisoners, the guards were unwilling to stay there any longer, but Lu Bing left.
He carefully interrogated many prisoners in the prison, patiently listened to their statements of grievances, and then recorded them one by one for careful interrogation.
The grievances were revealed.
From this point of view, Lu Bing seems to be a good person.
But at the same time, he also has another side - a dark side.
Because he was promoted so quickly, when Lu Bing became the highest officer of Jinyiwei, many of his subordinates were his former leaders. Naturally they were very dissatisfied with this young boy and never obeyed him. Lu Bing knew this very well.
But he never gets angry and respects his seniors very much.
But all this was an illusion. When these old comrades were drunk with the ecstasy soup, Lu Bing took action and remained calm.
Soon, those veterans who disobeyed the leadership were transferred away or ordered to retire. In a hurry, many people were at a loss and had nothing to do. Lu Bing's plan to seize work and seize power was completed.
It is said that things can be done but words cannot be said.
"The third person is me." Yan Shifan finally said.
It should be said that he did not brag.
Yan Shifan looks inconspicuous. He does not have the quick wit of Yang Bo, nor the depth of Lu Bing. He is very arrogant and domineering in his dealings with others, and has never been liked by people. But he is most likely the most powerful of the three.
.
Because although his advantage is simple, it is very practical-smart.
He is really an extremely smart person. It is said that when he talks to someone, he knows what they are going to say next when they say the first sentence. Moreover, he is very accurate in judging people. No matter whether you are cunning, cunning or naive, you can't escape him.
s eyes.
In addition, he has a unique skill that the other two can only dream of, which is writing green poetry.
Yan Song couldn't write Qing Ci well. Although he worked hard, he really couldn't write well. In desperation, he found his son to write for him. The result was unexpected. The Qing Ci he sent was praised by Comrade Jiajing. It should be said that Yan Song
Being favored is largely thanks to this shooter.
However, the reason why the world-famous genius Yan Shifan was promoted was entirely due to his father. This is not surprising. It seems normal for such a special talent to be specialized.
So with the help of his father, Yan Shifan became the left minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Shaoqing of Shangbao Division, which was roughly equivalent to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction and the director of the Confidential Office.
It is estimated that these two positions were the most popular in the imperial court at that time. They worked on projects every day, dealt with contractors, and received kickbacks. In addition, he also managed confidential seals, and they hit it off with Father Yan. His son informed him of the news.
, I ask for bribes and accept bribes, and I am extremely greedy.
Therefore, in Yan Shifan's view, although the world is big, there are only three people: Yang Bo, Lu Bing and himself, and Xia Yan is insignificant.
Although he said this, Yan Song responded to his son with a sneer:
"Xia Yan is the chief assistant. He has a high position and great authority. He can rise and fall with just a raise of his hand. What can you do to him if you just talk nonsense?"
Yan Shifan smiled confidently:
"Although Xia Yan is powerful, he is not invincible. As long as one condition is met, this person will die within three years!"
Yan Song finally became excited, and he curiously waited for Yan Shifan's condition.
"Among the three, if you get the second one, you will definitely be able to defeat Xia Yan!"
Yan Song was discouraged.
"I have dated Yang Bo several times, but this person does not want to join us."
This is true. Brother Yang Bo has a strategic mind and likes to stay at the Ministry of War drawing maps on weekdays. Naturally, he would not take a trip into this muddy water.
"What about Lu Bing?" Yan Shifan was still full of hope.
"Don't you know, he belongs to Xia Yan." Yan Song replied with a wry smile.
This is true. Brother Lu Bing was born into a noble family since he was a child. He still has some political ideals. He admires the honest and upright Xia Yan very much. Although he is indeed greedy for money, he also looks down on Yan Song, who has a poor reputation. He nods when they meet. Just say hello, we will never interact with each other until death.
So Yan Song and his son are back to the starting point, but what is gratifying is that as long as Yan Shifan's head does not suddenly get flooded, one of the three will still stand by them.
