Datang Longya

Chapter 926 - The Family Instructions of the Yan Family
There's no way, it's really interesting for everyone to expose each other's faults, and he also forgot about quitting alcohol.

Picking up the wine glass tremblingly, Li Shimin sighed, and said to Wu Yan behind him: "Go to the East Palace and inform the prince, and ask him to deal with my memorial. I'm really out of energy."

Nodding silently, he walked away quickly.

There were not many peanuts left on Leng Feng's plate, seeing Li Shimin's arrangement, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you relieved of Chengqian now?"

Li Shimin said indifferently: "He is already in his 30s. If I hadn't been in power, he should have experienced a lot by now, and he is qualified to be a real emperor."

It was rare for Li Shimin to mention this, Leng Feng thought for a while before saying to him: "Have you ever thought about abdicating to Chengqian like the Supreme Emperor, so that you can live a retired life like Liang Guogong and the others?"

Maybe it was because he drank too much, Li Shimin was not angry, just shook his head, and then stopped talking.

In the end, the peanuts on Leng Feng's plate were completely gone.

Although people have eaten a lot before, there are still more than 100 on the plate!

Now, everyone has more or less one or two pills in front of them, and the person with the most is Wei Zheng.

Maybe he was about to retire soon, Wei Zheng went all out and scolded everyone, and those like Liu Hongji were even more scolded.

Du Ruhui also drank a lot, and when he saw that there were no peanuts on Leng Feng's plate, he sighed: "It seems that these ten thousand gold coins are in Zheng Guogong's pocket!"

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "The old man is about to retire, and the family has no money left, why don't you let the old man win some coffin money?"

The first time they heard Wei Zheng chasing money, everyone laughed.

A banquet lasted all afternoon, and Liu Hongji and Cheng Yaojin, who drank the most, had already been carried back by their family.

Even if the exposing session is over, the drunk ones start to call for the guards to come over to help them, while those who are not completely drunk still laugh at the drunken ones for their low drinking capacity.

Yan Xiangshi also drank a lot, but he didn't have any generals or guards to accompany him, until the end of the show, he sat where he was, not knowing what he was thinking.

After making sure that everyone left safely, Leng Feng returned to the single room on the third floor.

Yan Xiangshi stayed here on purpose, probably because he had something to say to him.

Sure enough, when Leng Feng pushed the door in, Yan Xiangshi had already poured two cups of hot tea.

After receiving a cup of hot tea, Leng Feng asked: "Mr. Yan stayed here on purpose, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Yan Xiangshi took a sip of tea before saying: "Mr. Huguo, you should be clear about the past of this old man. I, who was supposed to be an official, was hired again by His Majesty. In fact, it was because of the influence brought by Yang Shidao and Changsun Wuji. .

When the old man takes office, the court will definitely face a major purge, and those who stay will be officials with no obvious faction.The problem of cronies is a vicious circle that every dynasty will face.Our Datang wants to avoid the past, to be honest, it is very difficult.Your Majesty's approach will work for a while at most, but it won't solve the problem for a long time, what do you think? "

Leng Feng said helplessly: "As long as interests and power are involved, cliques will sprout. There is no way around this. Mr. Yan talked about this, but is there any way?"

Yan Xiangshi smiled and said: "The old man has been studying this issue since he got the sign from His Majesty. Finally, the old man discovered another point. Cliques are not necessarily caused by money and power, and open and secret fighting among officials is also one of the reasons. In the hall, the most famous thing is the civil and military competition."

Leng Feng nodded: "That's right, civil and military struggles will indeed cause many problems, but no, this is the practice of all dynasties, what can you do?"

Yan Xiangshi said: "It's very simple. Since it is unavoidable, we should reduce some disputes as much as possible. The prime minister has always been the head of the civil service. Headed by the King of Hejian and the Duke of Wei, the King of Hejian has already retired, and the Duke of Wei is about to retire. For some time in the future, the generals will definitely respect you as the Duke of the Protectorate.

The leaders of both civil and military sides in the court are the two of us. As long as we live in peace and help each other, we can reduce a lot of civil and military conflicts.Protector, what do you think? "

When Leng Feng looked at Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang was expressionless and extremely calm.

If another person said this, Leng Feng would definitely scoff, but Yan Xiangshi's words would be a different matter.The Yan family has always been just, and there are very few treacherous people.The fact that the Shilin literary world has not changed its status for many years is enough to prove it.

Arching his hands, Leng Feng asked, "I don't know how Mr. Yan plans to coexist peacefully?"

When Yan Xiangshi saw that Leng Feng did not refuse, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's very simple, no matter what the problem is, you must put the truth first and put the overall situation first. This is not difficult to do. "

Leng Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I think this is really embarrassing."

Civil and military struggles are often just for the sake of gaining one's breath. Many times, even the unreasonable side will clamor for days.Having participated in the imperial court for many years, Leng Feng has already seen it clearly, putting reason first and the overall situation as the most important thing, it's easy to say, but hard to do.

"Although it is difficult, I still agree. Mr. Yan, no, Xiang Yan, at least until I retire, I will stand with you on the side of the general situation."

Seeing that Leng Feng agreed, Yan Xiangshi immediately smiled.Although he had known for a long time that the National Defense Guild would agree, but before he actually agreed, he didn't know what to do.

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and a man who looked like a housekeeper came in with a small package.

Taking the package from the housekeeper, Yan Xiangshi handed it to Leng Feng.

"what is this?"

Opening the package with doubts, Leng Feng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time when he saw the words "Yan Family Instructions".

Yan Xiangshi stood up with the support of the housekeeper, and said with a smile: "This is a gift from the old man to the Duke Hu Guo. I have long heard that the Academy of Arts collects books from all over the world, publishes them, and spreads them everywhere. Our Yan family's Although Yan's family precepts are only books used by the disciples, they should still be qualified to be used by the Academy of Arts."

Putting away the package solemnly, Leng Feng got up and cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of the Academy of Arts, Leng Feng thanked Mr. Guo for his kindness."

Yan Xiangshi waved his hand to indicate that it's okay, and walked out with the support of the housekeeper.

Looking at the package on the table, Leng Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

The Yan family's "Yan's Family Instructions", although it is just family instructions, is an important work in the literary world.
