Paper could not contain the fire. With the power of the Yan Party, Jin Yiwei's investigation was quickly leaked. After hearing the news, Yan Shifan was stunned.
What does he have to do with the White Lotus Sect?
But soon the former Xiao Ge elder came to his senses: "Lu Bing actually harmed me, what does he want to do? It's not enough to bring down one Xia Yan, do you want another chief assistant?"
"It's not Lu Bing..."
Yan Song looked ugly and subconsciously looked to the west. The yellow tiles and red walls of Xiyuan and the majestic palace seemed to be just a few feet away, as if they were separated by the Tianhe River.
He had served that man for more than twenty years, but now he was so determined to put him to death, and his tone couldn't help but be filled with sadness: "This must be your Majesty's instruction. You really don't miss the old feelings at all!"
Yan Shifan gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered, and a fierce aura filled the air: "Over the years, we, father and son, have blocked so many things for him and committed so many crimes. Now, for an unfounded crime, he wants to imprison me."
Can we take it? Don’t even think about it!!”
They didn't know that the White Lotus Sect really produced the letter and was seized by the Jinyi Guards, but Yan Shifan's charges in history were really unfounded.
"All roads speak for themselves, and if two people communicate with Japan, things can change unexpectedly." The two people refer to Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen. As for "All roads speak for themselves," that's what people on the road say...
This simply made it clear that there was no point in imposing crimes. In the end, the major crime of "trafficating Japanese pirates and plotting rebellion" was finally determined. It was said that Yan Shifan gathered pirates, communicated with foreign countries, and trained private armed forces.
Evil intentions.
In fact, everyone knew that no matter how evil Yan Shifan was, he would not be able to rebel, let alone collude with Japanese pirates. However, as soon as the charge was laid, he was disconnected from Jiajing, and the verdict was quickly passed.
Even though he was ordered to do so, he couldn't wait for the execution in the autumn, so he immediately wanted to be punished by canon.
Such an absurd form naturally aroused criticism. Later, when Zhang Juzheng was studying "Records of Emperor Shizong", he pointed out that Yan Shifan was guilty of many crimes and that one death would not be enough to cover up the crime. However, the crime should be classified as a "female gang member."
Rather than "anti-thief", many people in later generations also believed that this move was "the rule of the party at the expense of one's daughter, and it is an unethical practice"...
Of course, pursuing procedural justice is a matter for the winner. As a party concerned, Yan Song just wants to save himself and his son's lives: "Your Majesty doesn't miss the old relationship, so we have to find another way to survive first."
Come on, let’s talk about other things…”
Yan Shifan was a little confused for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "The emperor regards us father and son as thorns in the flesh, how can we save our lives?"
Yan Song narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty is disgusted, then we will wait until the new master takes over!"
Yan Shifan frowned: "Prince Jing? This person actually fits your Majesty's words, 'When I was young, I was mean and unkind. If I lift him up, he may not be grateful to our father and son in the future.
What's more, he is the fourth prince after all, and there is still one living in front of him!"
Yan Song said: "To establish a direct heir, King Yu, although he is dull and timid, is disliked by His Majesty. He prefers the expressive King Jing. However, the relationship between the prince and the country cannot be determined by personal likes and dislikes. His Majesty's throne is inherently determined."
Your luck will not make your successor unstable!"
Yan Shifan knew that his knowledge of Jiajing was unparalleled in the court when it came to solving riddles, but when it came to major matters, Yan Song was even better. He suddenly said: "So as long as King Yu does not die early, Your Majesty
After all, the throne will be passed on to him, so won’t we have even less chance?”
Yan Song gently stroked his beard and said slowly: "Your Majesty always keeps secrets in his actions. He is afraid that his thoughts will be seen through by others. King Yu is not aware of this. We can use it to seize the throne."
Take all the credit for it”
Regarding major matters, Yan Shifan had to admit that this old father was powerful, but when it came to implementation, he still had to make the decision. He rolled his eyes and said, "Well, we still support King Jing.
To seize the direct descendants, the momentum must be greater!"
Yan Song was stunned for a moment, then took a breath: "You are quite poisonous!"
Both their father and son are now hated by Jiajing, and the Yan Party cannot be defeated. At this time, they fully support King Jing in seizing the throne, which is to push the Jing Dynasty into the fire pit, and King Jing cannot refuse, invisibly
It helped King Yu a lot.
However, there are huge hidden dangers in fighting for the future with such despicable means. Yan Song expressed concern: "Although this method is good, if King Yu refuses to recognize him in the future, it will be nothing."
Yan Shifan smiled coldly: "I can't help but King Yu refuse to accept the favor of my strict party. I have my own way!"
Yan Song nodded slightly.
In such a desperate situation, one father and son are responsible for the overall situation, and the other is dedicated to execution. Before their eyes, there are opportunities for another village to emerge.
What a blessing! What a blessing!
After discussing it in detail for a while, Yan Song became exhausted and fell asleep. Yan Shifan came to the backyard, looked up at the sky, and felt the mana beating in the Niwan Palace, and the dim light in his eyes reappeared.
After killing Zhao Wenhua, his feelings about karma became clearer. He could vaguely see threads filling the air, entangled with every living thing, helping to identify the target of karma and deal with it.
Who can do the most damage.
This wonderful feeling of controlling all spirits made him intoxicated, and he suddenly came up with the idea that he should not indulge in romance these days, but should practice spells diligently, maybe there will be a time when he needs to risk his life.
After all, he should be the one who commits the greatest evil in the world!
"Husband, it's early spring and the night is cold. Go back to your room and rest!"
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded from behind, and Qin Feng appeared and put a large cloak on Yan Shifan's shoulders.
Yan Shifan tightened the cloak tightly. After a brief ideological struggle, his ferocious expression slowly faded and he smiled: "Okay!"
No matter how powerful he is in cultivation, can he defeat Li Shizhen, enter the palace, and kill that person directly?
After all, it can’t be done…
In this case, it’s better to just cultivate your ass and enjoy it in time!
…
"The Arhat with the Sky Eye is very powerful, he really managed to subdue the devil!"
Yan Shifan didn't know that everything in his house was clearly conveyed to Li Yan and Jiuye through the wind spell in the night wind.
Watching one thing fall after another, Jiuye sighed sincerely, and finally no longer felt weird.
Serving demons with your body will bring peace to the world. This is a great merit.
No wonder that after the heaven and earth became filthy, the human world still maintained relative peace. It turned out that after the devil came, there were Arhats following closely behind him to prevent him from causing trouble.
Li Yan also watched this scene, his eyes moved slightly, but he was thinking about something else.
Of course, the main thing here is to take down the Yan family and his son, who are constantly fighting for their lives. They are very capable of tormenting them. If they let them go, they might actually be forced to survive and make a comeback.
Looking at the mansion in front of him that was comparable to a royal palace, Li Yan ordered: "Seal this house!"
Following behind were soldiers from Shuntian Prefecture. At this time, they listened to the order but did not dare to act rashly. They all looked at Zhao Fuyin of Shuntian Prefecture.
Shuntian Prefecture Yin is equivalent to Jing Zhaoyin in the Tang Dynasty. He is in charge of major affairs in the capital, and also commands the Fu Cheng, Tui Guan and other yamen subordinate officials. He is the leader of the prefects in the country. It is difficult for ordinary people to be qualified. In order to ensure authority
At first, the Ming Dynasty was highly qualified for this position, and often appointed second-rank officials to serve as Shuntian Prefecture Yin in the third-rank system.
But in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Shuntian Mansion was suspected of being a powerful one, and the royal family suppressed it. The Shuntian Mansion gradually declined, and its power was divided among the six departments. A few people could be defeated due to their extremely strong abilities.
Known as "Heavenly Officials", most of them become doormats, such as this Zhao Fuyin.
He obviously did not want to offend this heavenly master who was favored by His Majesty, but thinking of the cruelty that Yan Shifan would retaliate against, he sealed off his other courtyard. After that, unless Yan Dang was beyond redemption, Shuntian Mansion would be destroyed.
There will never be peace in the government office, so he said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the great master, but I hope you will be informed of the charges, so that I can be a good example to my subordinates!"
Li Yandao: "Customized by Taizu, it is a mansion of the third to fifth grades of the Ming Dynasty. It has five halls and seven frames. The roof is decorated with tiles, beams, pillars, and eaves with blue and green decoration. Is this kind of other courtyard trespassing?"
Not to mention the stunned Zhu Si who was listening not far away, Zhao Fuyin also looked strange and bitter: "This crime... has not been... As the saying goes, things change with time... Some things have changed a long time ago.
In his opinion, the Celestial Master is a Celestial Master after all and does not know about political struggles. Such a crime is really outrageous.
Buying a house in the capital and farming in the countryside have always been the two favorite things of the Zhongmingdingshi family, and the Yan family is no exception. In the city of Beijing alone, where every inch of land is precious, there are six mansions. In addition to the Prime Minister's Mansion,
The other five buildings, known to the outside world as the East Tower Courtyard, are for Yan Shifan's enjoyment.
According to the style of the little pavilion elder, the palace was extremely luxurious, and it had long exceeded the limit of what the minister's palace could accommodate, leaving Taizu's regulations behind.
Indeed, they will not comply with it. Let alone the architectural restrictions, no one pays attention to the "Da Ming Law". In judicial cases, the "Regulations on Punishment" have been compiled in the past dynasties to make the trial standards of the case.
Continuous adjustments.
Among them, corruption is the most obvious. If the penalty is determined according to the "Da Ming Law", corruption will be punished by exile if it is twenty taels of silver, and beheading if it is forty taels. If it exceeds 60 taels, it will not only be beheaded, but also skinned and stuffed with grass, that is, the skin will be peeled off.
, stuffed with straw, dried into specimens, and hung in the court to warn others...
If such a sentence were to be imposed now, more than 90% of the officials in the Ming Dynasty would have to be dried and hung in the wind at the entrance of the government office.
By the same token, if a mansion is sealed just because it violates the regulations, then except for a few low-key mansions, all other merchants' homes will be sealed, and the capital will be in chaos?
However, the next moment, Zhao Fuyin's expression changed drastically, because Li Yan's tone became serious: "The land has a royal aura, and the mansion is expanded, occupied, and plundered. Such interests are actually trivial in Zhao Fuyin's eyes?"
After the words fell, without waiting for the other party to ask, Li Yan raised his palm and made a move slowly.
Since the dragon mother had absorbed the dragon energy before and returned after asking for it, and had the experience of contact, it seemed logical to summon him again at this time.
As a result, in the eyes of Zhao Fuyin, Zhu Si and even all the officials present, an illusory golden dragon shadow first overflowed from the underground of the East Tower and then began to surround the mansion, hanging down.
Wisps of light shimmered with golden light of wealth and glory.
Everyone stared blankly, their scalps numb.
Seize the dragon energy and replenish yourself...
This mansion is reversed! It’s reversed!
Li Yan also had emotion in his eyes.
This is not an illusion or a slander, but an inevitable law of the development of the dynasty.
Yan Shifan's five east towers and courtyards indeed occupied the dragon's energy.
In fact, not only Xiao Ge Lao, but anyone who expands his residence in the capital represents the weakening of the imperial power and has usurped the dragon's energy to a certain extent.
From the perspective of the Zhu family royal family, Taizu's system is the guarantee of imperial power. The strict hierarchy must be maintained so that the emperor and the royal family can stand high and overlook their subjects.
From the perspective of all the people, if everything must be followed, the imperial rule is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and extremely stable. It will inevitably become a pool of stagnant water and the entire society will have no vitality.
This is a measure of control. It cannot be too free and casual, nor can it be harsh and harsh. Unfortunately, in the real world, people often go to extremes and it is difficult to balance.
Not to mention the perspective of looking at the changes in the dynasty, just looking at the changes in the dragon's energy at this moment, Zhao Fuyin started to tremble: "Bold...Bold..."
"Quickly adjust the troops and horses of the five cities!"
When Zhu Si witnessed this scene, he was also shocked. While sending a message to Lu Bing, he quickly sent people to the Military and Horse Division to mobilize troops.
When more soldiers appeared and surrounded the other courtyard, Zhao Fuyin suddenly got excited and shouted with all his strength: "Seal! Let me seal this treasonous house quickly!"
After the seal was affixed, the manifested dragon energy seemed to be free, and suddenly headed towards the Forbidden City. Zhao Fu Yin was relieved and bowed to Li Yan: "Thank you, Master, I was deceived by this female thief."
It’s so hard!”
Li Yan said in a calm tone: "Let's go to the next courtyard. The five buildings have been sealed, and there is Yan Mansion!"
"yes!"
Zhao Fuyin's body trembled and he gritted his teeth. He would never have dared to do so before, but now he quickly made up his mind and followed him step by step towards the next mansion.
Feng Ni Zhai!
Close Yanfu!
"Li Shizhen has sealed all my other courtyards, and now he wants to lead people to seal Yan's Mansion?"
When the shocking news reached the inner house, Yan Shifan rushed out angrily, with a ferocious look in his eyes, eager to fight.
But his reason was not completely overwhelmed by the evil thoughts. After all, he did not attack the stone with an egg and looked at Yan Song: "Dad, you are the chief minister of the cabinet. You will always take the lead. Li Shizhen will never dare to be presumptuous!"
"The chief assistant is no bigger than the dragon, and no bigger than the country. This crime... is too terrible!"
Yan Song slowly sat down on the chair, his face quickly turned gloomy: "I have long been worried that we can't counterattack the tactics used by the Heavenly Master, and now it turns out that he has invaded the dragon's energy and directly copied it.
Family, it’s ridiculous that our grand plan to seize the heir has no room for execution!”
With the strength of the Yan Party, it was originally impossible for the house to be ransacked without any charges. But now, although there is no conviction, the house is sealed based on the theory of dragon energy. What difference does it make in the eyes of outsiders?
Yan Shifan was unwilling to give up and kept pacing: "There must be a way! There must be a way!"
Yan Song was silent for a long time, stood up again, and tried to cheer up: "Let's go out, confess our sins, and give everything I have managed over the years to get a chance of survival!"
