Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 233 Chapter 230 Chapter [-] Send the gold and silver to Yan Shifan
Yan Shifan lived in a luxurious small single room and played games with small animals, but his friends were not as comfortable as him.Jinyiwei mobilized nearly a hundred captains who were well versed in human anatomy overnight, and they took turns "chatting" with Yan Shifan's friends all night long.

Early the next morning, Lu Bing read the "Tell the Truth" himself, then selected a few high-quality ones and took them to Xiyuan to report to Emperor Jiajing.

When Lu Bing arrived at Wanshou Palace, Wang Daoqiu was also there. Wang Daoqiu's injury was not serious, just a few skin wounds. He applied some gold wound medicine and bandaged it, and that was it.

However, Emperor Jiajing carefully ordered the Wannian Ship and a group of soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, but they were so bold that they wanted Wang Daoqiu to rush into the street.Emperor Jiajing didn't know that it was the soldiers who had low IQ and couldn't open their eyes, so stupid!There are still people in the army who have been planning for a long time.Perhaps those nobles wanted to monopolize overseas profits, so after Wang Daoqiu left Chengguo Duke's mansion, he sent people to follow him secretly and took the opportunity to take action.

Anyway!Emperor Jiajing was recognized in the history of the Ming Dynasty as a man with too many eyes and too much suspicion.When a matter is turned around in his mind, there are various possibilities, many of which are versions.

Therefore, since Wang Daoqiu went to Xiyuan to complain last night, Emperor Jiajing left Wang Daoqiu in Xiyuan to treat his injuries, and sent a team of royal guards to hide near Wang Daoqiu's home in disguise.

As soon as Lu Bing came in and saw Emperor Jiajing and Wang Daoqiu, he told Emperor Jiajing and Wang Daoqiu as a joke how Yan Shifan had committed a crime last night and how he had dealt with it.

Lu Bing thought he was funny and said what he said with a smile on his face, but after hearing this, Emperor Jiajing pulled a straight face and asked Lu Bing seriously: "You mean that according to the confession, Yan Shifan was not actually involved in the crime last night?" At the scene, he went there later. He didn’t even know that the person who was hacked last night was Wang Liangzhen. Did he want to blackmail him afterwards?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's the case. This idea was discussed between Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen, the chief inksmith in our palace, at the Yingbin Building where Yan Shifan entertained all the officials in the East Palace. Moreover, Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen came to the incident. After the scene, they discussed the matter with Mao Jianhua, the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, the main culprit in Wang Liangzhen's assassination. In this regard, both Luo Longwen and Mao Jianhua confessed."

After hearing Lu Bing confirm again that Yan Shifan was guilty, Emperor Jiajing read the confessions sent by Lu Bing again.Finally, he raised his head and asked Wang Daoqiu: "You brat, was Yan Shifan really not there when those people hacked you last night?"

"Absolutely, Your Majesty. Although Yan Shifan is not very wise, in terms of cleverness, there are not many people in the world who can be better than him. Moreover, Yan Shifan has been under the shadow of the chief minister and has been an official for nearly ten years. How can he still do it? I don’t know, what is the crime of assassinating a bachelor of the current cabinet? So if Yan Shifan really instigated what happened last night, then Yan Shifan must have either killed someone and silenced him, destroyed the evidence of the crime, or got involved with Xiruan and ran away. How could he still admit it? You were there at the time?"

Indeed, if this matter was really instigated by Yan Shifan, after Wang Daoqiu escaped and the matter failed, he would never have stayed at the scene stupidly and said stupid things that related himself to this matter.

Emperor Jiajing also had a headache for Yan Shifan, who always thought he was smart. Emperor Jiajing really liked Yan Song.Yan Songrou never stood up to Emperor Jiajing when he was angry and issued random orders. Instead, she would wait for Emperor Jiajing to subside and calm down before trying to persuade him.And when mistakes were made in imperial decrees, they always took the initiative to take responsibility and never put the blame on the emperor.

He knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to protect the emperor's face, and does not hesitate to take the blame for the emperor's reputation. Such a minister is so rare!

Yan Song is good, easy to use and safe to use, Emperor Jiajing likes it.However, Yan Song's unlucky son Yan Shifan was really capable of causing trouble!What's even more terrible is that this Yan Shifan is Yan Song's only son. He is Yan Song's lifeblood and cannot be killed.What a headache!
Faced with this thorny problem, Emperor Jiajing unconsciously looked at Wang Daoqiu again and asked, "You brat, you have many bad ideas. Tell me, what should I do with Yan Shifan?"

What to do with Yan Shifan?This is easy to handle. Isn’t Yan Shifan keen on economics and likes money?Then just give him money.

With this evil idea in mind, Wang Daoqiujiao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, doesn't Yan Shifan love money? Then let's give him a mountain of gold and silver."

After giving Yan Shifan a mountain of gold and silver, would Wang Daoqiu be so kind to Yan Shifan?Emperor Jiajing didn't believe this. He knew that Wang Daoqiu would have something to say.So in response to Wang Daoqiu's antics, Emperor Jiajing did not answer anything, but looked at Wang Daoqiu and continued.After getting no response, Wang Daoqiu could only go on angrily. He said: "Your Majesty, your Royal Bank Mint of the Ming Dynasty mints all the gold and silver into gold coins and silver dollars every day. All the people who work there He is a death row prisoner. Even if he dies, he will be cremated in the mint. His ashes will be scattered and he will not be able to come out alive or dead. So I think it is more appropriate for Yan Shifan to go there."

"Your Majesty, you asked Yan Shifan to be the leader. At least in the mint, Yan Shifan has the final say over those mountains of gold and silver. He can take as much as he wants and put it in his pocket. No one cares. Even if he wants, he can You can even lie down on the Jinshan Silver Mountain to sleep, or stand on it to defecate and pee. So Your Majesty, the Royal Bank Mint is a suitable place for Yan Shifan."

Damn it!I give you a mountain of gold and silver, but don’t give you a place to spend money. This is so cruel!Thinking of the misery of Yan Shifan crying in front of the gold and silver mountains, Emperor Jiajing and Lu Bing both laughed heartlessly.

After laughing, Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "You have a bad mind, so if Yan Shifan falls into your hands this time, it can be regarded as his fate. Okay, let's leave it like this! By the way, Lu Bing, the one involved in the case this time It is said that Luo Longwen, like Yan Shifan, is also a man of men and women, and is not taboo on meat and vegetables. Since Luo Longwen and Yan Shifan have the same aspirations, let him also go to the mint and be Yan Shifan's companion!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing made a decree, and the outcome of this matter was decided.However, the results will be results, but the matter still needs to be reported to all the important officials of the court.After all, last night was in a crowded place like a night market, and there was such a big commotion. It would not be okay if the matter was not explained clearly to the cabinet and the Three Law Departments.

So after discussing with Lu Bing and Wang Daoqiu, Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Fang to inform the cabinet scholars, the ministers of the six ministers, the heads of the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, and the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture to meet him at the Wanshou Palace.

The ministers entered the Longevity Palace and stood in line after saluting. Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Bing to report the case to the ministers in the court and pass the prisoner's oral confession to them.

After listening to Lu Bing's briefing on the case and reading the confessions, Old Yan Song was so ashamed that his whole face turned red, it was so embarrassing.But just such a son has always been the lifeblood of himself and his old wife, so he can't give up!
So as soon as he knew the whole story, Lao Yansong knelt down and begged Emperor Jiajing to spare his son Yan Shifan one more time.

Lao Yansong is 68 years old this year. He has gray hair and a rickety body. He looks like he is in his twilight years. He is crying and kneeling there to plead for his son. Emperor Jiajing is also sad.

He couldn't bear to tease such an old man, so after Yan Song knelt down and begged, Emperor Jiajing told Yan Song the idea that he had just discussed with Wang Daoqiu to let Yan Shifan go to the mint to find another job so as to avoid getting into trouble outside.

Of course, in order not to irritate old Yan Song, Emperor Jiajing used language skills when speaking. He did not say that Yan Shifan would be imprisoned for life after entering.It just means that once you enter the mint, you can't come out again casually.

This made Lao Yansong think that after Yan Shifan entered the mint, he would be like the maids in the palace. He usually lived in the mint and would need approval from his superiors to come out!And isn't the superior of the mint his own protégé, Wang Daoqiu, the general manager of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty?

Wang Daoqiu and Yan Shifan had always had a grudge and disliked each other, but they were still respectful to Yan Song.Yan Song was also confident that as long as he opened his mouth, Wang Daoqiu would not even give Yan Shifan the face to ask for leave and go home.Besides, going to the mint, Yan Shifan was going to be the leader, no one dared to bully him, it was better than going to the army to wash the socks of veterans!
So he knew that his son Yan Shifan had committed a serious crime this time. He could not get away with extortion and perjury. If he took normal legal channels, he would definitely have to go into exile.

So when Emperor Jiajing made the decision to let Yan Shifan go to the mint for renovation and avoid causing trouble outside, Lao Yansong hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, thereby blocking the mouths of other ministers who were dissatisfied.
