Chapter 2 Congratulations
"It's snowing, it's snowing!"

Several young eunuchs who were busy saw the heavy snowflakes flying in the sky, put down their work one after another, and shouted happily.

The entire Ming Dynasty has been looking forward to this snow for too long, not only the common people, but even the high-ranking officials of various ministries are also looking forward to this snow falling sooner, the common people are for their own livelihood next year, and those officials They are also for their own "livelihood".

"What are you shouting, what are you shouting, I tell you not to shout!"

The eunuch Feng Bao, the admiral of the East Factory, suddenly sprang out from the shadows and covered the mouth and nose of one of the eunuchs in a panic.

"No no no."

The little eunuch whose mouth was covered by Feng Bao kept whimpering, unable to make any sound.

"Stop shouting!"

As Feng Bao said, he let go of the hand covering the little eunuch, and stared at the rest of the eunuchs with fierce eyes, while the previous eunuch whose mouth and nose were covered by Feng Bao walked quickly to the side, mouthing Breathe.

Feng Bao's ferocious gaze scanned the rest of the people, and the eunuchs didn't dare to meet their eyes, and all lowered their heads.

"Listen to me, all of you, before I go to announce the good news to the Holy One, don't shout any more! Otherwise, I'll lick his tongue! Did you hear that?"

"Yes."

All the eunuchs present bowed their heads and said yes, Feng Bao's face was full of complacency when he saw this, and then he walked away quickly, leaving only the eunuchs with resentful faces.

……

"Please go in and report, I have something important to discuss with my father."

Yan Shifan cupped his hands at the boy guarding outside his father's room, and said eagerly.

"The master said earlier that no one is allowed to go in and disturb him."

The boy standing at the door looked embarrassed, and could only answer weakly due to the temper of the old man in front of him.

"Get out of the way!"

As Yan Shifan said, he stretched out his big hand and pushed the boy who was blocking the door aside.

"Let him in." A tired voice came from the room.

After receiving the order, the boy hurriedly lowered his head and stepped aside.

Yan Shifan pushed open the door and entered the room. The room was very spacious, but it was almost filled with all kinds of books. At this moment, Yan Song, who had white beard and hair, was wearing presbyopic glasses and holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn Annals" in his hand. 》, laying down on the bed with no image, there is a brazier under the half-hollow bed, and the charcoal inside is burning happily.

"What's the matter, so flustered?"

Seeing his son coming in, Yan Song put down the book in his hand, and propped himself up from the bed, the age spots all over his face were faintly visible under the candlelight.

Yan Shifan knelt down on the ground, suppressed the panic in his heart, and began to tell his father Yan Song the news he had received.

"Father, my boy just got the news that those people in Prince Yu's Mansion are planning to use His Majesty's prayer for snow to make a fuss, and now those Qingliu have already set off to His Majesty's place! Shall we go too?"

"Oh, who are the ones going?" After Yan Song asked, he adjusted a more comfortable posture and picked up the book again.

After Yan Shifan reported all the names of the people who will be going, Yan Song did not respond. He just concentrated on looking at the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand without responding.

"Father!"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan couldn't help urging him.

"These small fish and shrimps can't make any waves. I, Yan Song, have been the chief minister of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years. Is it still rare to be impeached? Don't be so frizzy. If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble." Go, the Ming Dynasty cannot do without me, Yan Song, and Your Majesty cannot do without me, Yan Song! Go back to your room early to rest, I am also tired."

Yan Song waved his hand, as if unwilling to talk anymore.

"Yes, father, the child is leaving." Yan Shifan got up from the ground, gently closed the door, and then bowed and left.

"Ugh."

A faint sigh came from the room.

Coming out of his father Yan Song's room, Yan Shifan's face looked gloomy. He called his attendants, and after a few whispered instructions, the attendants left quickly.

……

In Xiyuan, Jiajing looked at Feng Bao who was prostrating in front of him with flattery on his face, and couldn't help laughing. Not long ago, Feng Bao, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, was the first to come to congratulate him. Flattery, starting with His Majesty as a virtuous person, the people all support and welcome, and end with heartbroken and death.

This behavior made Jiajing think of the dog in his previous life who begged for a bone in order to get a bone from his owner in his previous life. It is understandable for a dog to survive, and some people’s behavior is infinitely more despicable than a dog begging for mercy.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiajing came back to his senses, and observed Lu Fang who had been standing beside him with his expression. This eunuch with power over the government and the public was like a statue, expressionless and motionless.

Jiajing looked at Feng Bao who was kneeling on the ground again, suppressed the disgust in his heart, sensed the movement coming from nearby, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, very good! Your name is Feng Bao, right?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this servant is called Feng Bao!"

Because of being too excited, Feng Bao's voice trembled a little when he replied.

"You are the first one to come here to congratulate me, I will reward you well!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he looked at Lu Fang who was standing beside him like a pine tree, and said, "It's up to you to decide what to reward him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After saluting to Jiajing, Lu Fang nodded slightly in Feng Bao's direction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this servant is willing to do his best for His Majesty!"

As Feng Bao said, he knocked his head heavily on the ground, and there was a series of dull "bang bang" sounds. When he raised his head, his forehead was already bleeding profusely.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here, you go down first."

Jiajing waved his hand impatiently, and issued an order to evict the guest.

"Yes, this servant will leave now."

Feng Baoqiang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, still kept a respectful expression on his face, slowly straightened up, bowed and left, not daring to make any mistakes.

When Feng Bao walked away, Jiajing looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and said in a relaxed tone, "I heard that he is your adopted son? Heh, he is quite clever."

After hearing this, Lu Fang quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Get up, I'm not blaming you, this cleverness seems to be able to do things, and I still have a place to use him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

After listening to Jiajing's words, Lu Fang got up slowly from the ground, returned to her previous position, and began to serve Jiajing wholeheartedly.

……

"Why don't you let us in? We have something important to report!"

Outside the Forbidden City, a group of Qingliu officials were stopped by the forbidden army. Most of them were wearing green official robes, and their rank was around six or seven ranks. You don't have to worry about being punished. At most, you will anger the majesty and end up dismissed from office. This is a great honor for the officials, and they are all proud of it.

At this time, the captain of the Imperial City Imperial Army was very troubled. The group of unreasonable officials in front of him could not be beaten or scolded. Facing their questioning and insulting, the captain chose to remain silent.

"Why didn't you let us in? You delayed the important state affairs, can you take this responsibility? Or are you a lackey of the strict party? Are you with them?"

"Hey, the running dog of the strict party, the treacherous man!"

"Everyone, come with me and kill these treacherous people."

The more people talked, the more excited they became, and some even wanted to do something with a fiery temper, and severely taught the strict party lackey in front of them. They believed that they would push open the door blocking them like a hero, and see the emperor's pros and cons. Keeping their name clearly, they started pushing and shoving.

"It's late at night, who is messing around here?"

A sharp and harsh voice came from behind the imperial guards. Upon hearing this, the imperial guards stepped aside one after another.
