Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 131 Yan Song’s Godson
Just when Wang Daoqiu was pretending to be "smart" in front of Gao Gong and Gao Yi, Yan Song also returned home from his duty under the cabinet.

As soon as he got off the sedan at the door of the house, the porter came over and whispered softly: "Master, the young master came back very early in the afternoon. As soon as he came back, he smashed things in the house. Just now, I heard from the servant in the house that the young master I'm smashing things in your study now, go and have a look!"

"Oh, I see."

Based on Yan Song's understanding of his son, he knew that based on his son Yan Shifan's temper, today he was demoted from the fourth rank of Taichang Temple Shaoqing to the eighth rank of Xingren Sixingren responsible for delivering official documents. It is certain that he would lose his temper and smash things when he comes back. of.So now that the concierge said this, Lao Yansong didn't find it strange at all, he just said "hmm" and walked into the courtyard.

Arriving at the door of his study, Lao Yansong looked up and saw that his study was indeed a mess.The calligraphy and paintings that once used to decorate the study room have now been torn from the walls and thrown to the ground.The precious official kiln porcelain in the study was now broken to pieces.Yan Shifan may have been tired from the beating. At this time, he was sitting on an imperial chair, his chest rising and falling violently, and he was breathing heavily.

Seeing his only son, the hope of the family, in this state, Lao Yansong was also very sad.Shaking his head helplessly, Yan Song stepped in and called out: "Shifan, what are you doing?"

"Ah, father, you are back. Father, today I received an edict and I was demoted to the rank of pedestrian. Does my father know about this?"

Today at Taichang Temple, Yan Shifan received the order that he was transferred to the Pedestrian Department. Yan Shifan was angry and walked away on the spot regardless of the eyes of others.Then as soon as he got home, he started breaking things, first in his own room, and then in Yan Song's house.I was just sitting there with my head down and sulking when I was tired from smashing it!Now when he heard his father Yan Song's voice, he immediately jumped up and asked.

Faced with the angry look on his son's face, Yan Song knew that Yan Shifan was angry at himself as a father, why didn't he stop such an edict.Ignoring Yan Shifan's anger, Yan Song walked inside and said, "Shifan, I won't hide it from you. This morning, His Majesty convened the cabinet to discuss politics. In front of the emperor, I told you about your intention to seek positions in the Literary Selection Department and the Civil Service Examination Department. , and last night because Wang Liangzhen refused to recommend you, you insulted Wang Liangzhen and took the initiative to apologize to His Majesty."

"What, dad, are you confused? How can you take the initiative to plead guilty in front of the emperor for such a thing? Do you want to kill your son and my Yan family?"

When he heard that the reason why he was transferred to the Pedestrian Department was entirely because of his father's "initiative", Yan Shifan was furious, and he first angrily scolded Yan Song for being stupid.Then he started smashing things in the study again, even the long desk that Yan Song used to practice calligraphy was knocked over by him.

Yan Shifan was having a nervous breakdown in the study, but Yan Song didn't care and just looked at him with blank eyes.It wasn't until Yan Shifan got so nervous and tired that he sat down on the ground, panting, that Yan Song said leisurely: "Shifan, in the past few months since I became the chief assistant, I have noticed that you are becoming more and more arrogant." Yes, even now when dad sees you, he seems to see Xia Yan before he was dismissed as prime minister. Take what happened last night as an example. Wang Liangzhen is not only a second-rank minister, but also has great power in the Ministry of Personnel. "

"With your intelligence, Yan Shifan, you should know that people like Wang Liangzhen can only be killed if they are not met, and there is no way to retreat. Our Yan family must not make enemies with them. Dad dares to say that if it were in the past, Xia Yan would still be the one When you were the chief assistant, no matter how resentful you were towards Wang Liangzhen last night, you would still be generous to him. But as soon as you heard Wang Liangzhen’s negative evaluation of you last night, you rushed in and said: You didn’t care about his face, you said something so unpleasant, and you even threatened him.”

"Shifan, think about what happened last night, and how crazy are you now? You are really crazy now, and you don't even have the most basic sense. You and Xia Yan now, What's the difference? My father thought about this for a long time last night, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Who in the past and present has been in a high position but didn't know how to restrain himself? Will he have a good end in the end? So I think I should give you something. A lesson to wake you up. So this morning when the emperor was discussing politics, my father took the initiative to plead guilty to His Majesty. Shifan, the last thing a person in officialdom should have is madness. You can’t imitate that bitch Xia Yan!"

Old Yan Song persuaded his son with earnest words, and Yan Shifan understood Yan Song's words.After all, Yan Shifan is a very smart person. After all, Xia Yan is a living example of people hating dogs before him.So Yan Shifan, who understood Yan Song's words, knew that the reason why his father treated him like this was with good intentions and for his own good, so he felt much better.However, the pride buried deep in his bones still made Yan Shifan unable to accept the job of "Shunfeng Brother".

So he sat there and complained angrily: "Dad, even if my son lost his temper last night, you can't just let me, the son of a dignified minister of the cabinet, go to the Pedestrian Department to be a pedestrian just because of this, right? Dad, I don't care, you I must be given a decent job, otherwise I will not be on duty."

"Shifan! How can you be so petty? The emperor ordered you to go to the People's Department. If you don't go, you will be openly disobeying the order, and it is a serious crime of beheading! And discussing politics this morning, That Yu Maojian and Li Xiang asked the emperor for an order to the Jingcha to eliminate [-] redundant employees in the two capitals. At that time, they went out to oppose the Jingcha for their father. For this reason, Yu Maojian became corrupt and broke the law for his father. The dog Xia Yan also fell into trouble at that time. Take the things that my father and son have fallen into his hands, and the imperial court agrees with Yu Maojian, and takes part in my father and son's corruption and perversion of the law."

"What, those bastards Xia Yan and Yu Maojian visited my father in front of the imperial court this morning? Father, are you okay?" As soon as he received the order to demote him to the Xingren Department at Taichang Temple today, Yan Shifan rolled his sleeves and went home angrily. , he really didn’t know what was going on in the Longevity Palace today.Now when he heard that his father was implicated because of his greed for money, Yan Shifan felt guilty and asked with concern.

Seeing the sincere concern in his son's eyes, Yan Song felt warm in his heart at this time.He patted the back of Yan Shifan's hand and comforted him kindly: "Don't worry, my son. Although Xia Yan and Yu Maojian spoke clearly in front of the emperor about my father and son, your majesty has no intention of becoming a father. Besides, Wang Liangzhen is still here. When the matter came to a standstill, he took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the matter, and His Majesty handed the matter over to Wang Liangzhen."

"What? Father, then Wang Liangzhen will preside over the investigation of my father and son! The son offended him so much last night, will he take personal revenge on my Yan family this time?"

"Don't worry, Shifan, Liangzhen won't. You offended him last night. If this matter only concerns you, then Wang Liangzhen will definitely send you to the vegetable market. But this matter is mainly about your father, then Wang Liangzhen still respects his father. So this time he will not follow Xia Yan and Yu Maojian and deal with Yan Song's official business. Don't worry, Shifan, Wang Liangzhen is still reliable. "

"Father, how can we be credulous when people's hearts are so far apart? Moreover, although Wang Liangzhen is young, his every word and deed has shown the appearance of a treacherous hero. This person cannot be trusted at all. No, I have to summon the disciples and former officials of my Yan family. , let them come up to Yu Maojian, Xia Yan and Wang Liangzhen to mix up the water."

After saying this, Yan Shifan turned around and was about to walk out. At this time, Yan Song hurriedly called out to him and reprimanded him: "Shifan, why are you still like this? What did my father say to you last night?" My words are all in vain. Shifan, as a father, I still say the same thing. Those so-called disciples and former officials of our Yan family will only share the wealth and honor with my Yan family, but will not share the hardships with my Yan family. Don’t expect it. They can be with me and my son in the same boat. Okay, okay, since you are worried about Wang Liangzhen, then prepare 1 taels of banknotes for your father and give them to him when he goes to Xiyuan tomorrow to be on duty. See if he accepts it. .”

"That's good, that's good. I'm going to get the banknote for my father now." Seeing that old Yan Song wanted to test Wang Daoqiu with 1 taels of silver, Yan Shifan also thought this was a good idea, so he agreed with Yan Song with a smile.

And when Yan Song looked at his son with such a playful smile, he felt bitter in his heart.Although his son is extremely smart and can be called a genius, he is just a little clever in a different way, and in the grand scheme of things, it is really a mess.

Feeling sad about his son's incompetence, Yan Song unconsciously thought of the young man who could face the emperor and all the important officials of the court in the golden palace and give guidance to the country.Hi!This is really a waste of shopping, comparing people to death!
