Chapter 12
As night fell, the charcoal fire was burning vigorously in Yan's study room, Yan Shifan only felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of the sky, the eyes of father and son met, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, Yan Song took the ginseng tea offered by the maid, rinsed his mouth, and explained: "The current situation in the southeast cannot be separated from Hu Ruzhen, and those people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still need him to take care of them. To suppress the Japanese, those Qingliu dare not do anything!"

"Hu Ruzhen is my student. Whether he likes it or not, in the eyes of His Majesty or those Qingliu, he has already been branded with my Yan Song. If the Japanese pirates in the southeast are all wiped out, the people behind him will have to kill him." Let's do it!"

After Yan Song explained, he handed the ginseng tea back to the maid, looked at his worthless son, and said coldly: "You worthless thing, look at the stupid things you did and the stupid people you used, kneel down!"

Yan Shifan immediately knelt down on the ground, his eyes full of fear.

"Listen carefully. I, Yan Song, have been the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years. I can not only rule and dismiss people, but also employ people. The treasury needs people I use to save money, and the border gates need people I use to save money. Fight! I need people to deal with those who don't deal with the emperor, and the first thing to do is to use people well!"

Yan Song taught his son a lesson in an almost roaring tone. Looking at his son kneeling on the ground trembling, the originally cold eyes gradually softened, and then he said softly: "Get up, the new boy under your hand The student you accepted is pretty good, what's his name? Let's send him to Zhejiang in advance to familiarize himself with the situation, and by the way, relieve Hu Ruzhen's burden."

Yan Shifan got up from the ground, recalling the scene of his father's anger before, he was still a little scared, and replied tremblingly: "I tell my father, my student's name is Gao Hanwen, he has a noble personality and is quite talented. My son will call him to the house tomorrow."

"Well, if there's nothing else, you can go down first."

Yan Song nodded, hunched over, took a book from the bookshelf, put on reading glasses, and began to read it carefully. Yan Shifan didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to bow and leave.

After coming out of his father's room, Yan Shifan realized that his back was covered with cold sweat. After a few breaths, Yan Shifan called the housekeeper, took out the letter raft, and ordered: "Send this letter to Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang Province. "

"Yes, Mr. Xiaoge!" After the steward agreed in a low voice, he quickly left and disappeared into the night.

After asking the housekeeper to deliver the letter, Yan Shifan returned to his house. As soon as he entered the door, the ninth concubine he married earlier greeted him. Her name was Xiu Niang.

"Your husband has worked hard, I am here to undress you."

Xiu Niang was wearing a long blue dress, her exposed neck was as white as suet jade, and she had an aura that made me feel sorry for her, which made people want to hold her in her arms, so that she could be cared for.

Yan Shifan only felt his body lighten, and the shawl that was worn outside to keep warm was removed, and then a gust of fragrant wind penetrated from the nostrils, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

"Husband has been tired all day, let's have something to eat first, these dishes are made by my own hands, I will serve you a meal."

"Okay." Yan Shifan stood there in a daze for a while before responding aloud.

There are not many kinds of dishes on the table, only a few simple side dishes, which are far inferior to what Yan Shifan usually eats in terms of luxury and taste, but for some reason, looking at the few simple and exquisite meals on the table, Yan Shifan But he felt very at ease, took the job from Xiuniang, and started to eat with big mouthfuls.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, there is still in the pot."

"Cough cough."

"Are you choking? Drink some water..."

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Jiajing was kneeling and sitting on the futon, eyes closed, motionless. On the table next to him, there was an incense burner with three burning sandalwood sticks on it.

"The Tao can be said, very Tao, the name can be famous, very famous..."

Jiajing recited softly, with the half-opened "Tao Te Ching" at his feet. Gradually, Jiajing entered a mysterious and mysterious state. He felt that everything around him slowed down, as if time stopped completely.

Jiajing only felt that he was getting lighter and lighter, as if he was flying. At the same time, his perspective continued to extend upwards, from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the entire Forbidden City. During this process, neither flying insects nor hibernating beasts could escape his eyes.

"This is an out-of-body experience!"

Based on the novels he had read in his previous life, Jiajing quickly understood his situation.

"No, I have to go back as soon as possible. The soul can't leave the body for too long." Jiajing thought so, and then forced his perspective back.

After the soul returned to the body, Jiajing refocused his mind and began to try to perceive something that could echo with the mana in his body. Since there was no way of cultivation, Jiajing could only choose the least efficient and safest cultivation method, the breathing method.

With the automatic operation of the mana in Jiajing's body, Jiajing's breathing gradually became more regular. With each breath, the essence of heaven and earth resonated with the mana in his body. Jiajing's complexion became more rosy, and the mana in his body also gained grew slightly.

"Huh, it's really useful!" Jiajing woke up from the state of cultivation, feeling the increase of mana in his body, and couldn't help but look happy.

"However, Caizhen seemed to see something extraordinary when his soul came out of his body just now." Jiajing picked up the teacup on the table, as if thinking about it.

When Jiajing's soul was out of his body before, the perspective accidentally swept across the Ganlu Palace, and he saw his concubines in the harem, the imperial concubine Shen, the Kang concubine Du Ying, and the Su concubine Jiang, gathering together in Shen's room to fight. The guards had long since been screened out, and the spring radiating from them inevitably caused people to daydream, especially Concubine Su. In Jiajing's memory, Concubine Su had a cold personality and didn't like to talk much. I didn't expect that she would be so open when she was fighting in private.

"Hmph, as my concubine, she actually did such a thing, I'll go and educate them!" Jiajing thought righteously, then drank the tea in the cup in one breath, called the guards, and asked Ganlu Palace paced.

When Jiajing came to the gate of Ganquan Palace with his guards, he was recognized by the leading eunuch, and he quickly knelt down on the ground with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you are here! It's a coincidence today, Concubine Kang, Concubine Su is also there, they are embroidering in the imperial concubine's room, no one is allowed to disturb them."

"Oh, is that so? Take me over there to have a look." Jiajing was amused in his heart, but his face was full of curiosity.

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

Under the leadership of the leading eunuch, Jiajing came to the room of the imperial concubine Shen.

"Haha, stop scratching me, I itch."

"Well, do you want to admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat, accept defeat, sister Shen, don't scratch me, sister knows she was wrong."

"I'm going to take off all your clothes and see what you eat to grow so big."

"do not."

Hearing the words of tigers and wolves coming out of the house, Jiajing couldn't help but turn dark, and had to cough lightly to show his existence.

"Cough cough."

"Who is outside?" A vigilant voice came from inside the house.

"It's me!" Jiajing responded angrily.

"It's over, it's over, what should we do?" Then there was a rustling sound from inside the room.

After a while, the door opened, and Shen Shi, Concubine Kang, and Concubine Su all knelt on the ground anxiously, their clothes still had the folds from the previous fight.

"Concubine, I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Get up." Jiajing waved his hand, motioning for everyone to get up.

"Why, don't you invite me to go in and have a look?"

Jiajing glanced over the folds of their dresses, with a playful look on his face.

Sensing Jiajing's gaze, the three women seemed to have thought of something, biting their lips tightly, and couldn't help but blush on their faces, showing shyness.

"Please come in, Your Majesty."

Jiajing laughed loudly: "Since the concubines are so enthusiastic, then I will go in and have a look!"

After finishing speaking, he strode into the door with great strides, and after a while, there was a coquettish cry from inside the room.
