Good morning Daming

Chapter 1074 The Idiot Chapter is Here

Chapter 1074 The Idiot is Back
In autumn, leaves fall in the capital. The autumn wind blows from the north, bringing coolness as well as flocks of migrating birds to the south.

"Dad, dad!"

Dapeng was stumbling around in the yard, with the nervous-looking wet nurse and Huang Yaner following behind him. Li Tian and Chang were on both sides, occasionally extending their hands to support him.

Dapeng seemed to be stumbling, but he walked all the way to the tree without any weakness. He kept shouting "Dad and Mom" as he walked. Chang said, "Hearing this call of Dad and Mom can melt people's hearts. Alas! Children will be hated when they grow up, just like your eldest brother. But no matter how much you hate him, he is still your son."

"Brother had to fight with others last time, so don't be angry," Li Tian advised.

"I know, but he could have hit someone else. That person is a relative of the Yan family. It's not easy for your father to be in charge of the Taichang Temple. His immediate superior is Yan Shifan, the young minister. Your eldest brother felt great when he hit him with that punch, but your father went to the Yan family several times to apologize. Yan Shifan avoided him. Your father has been sighing for a while and tossing and turning at night and can't sleep."

"Mom, my brother has always been calm and composed, why would he suddenly start beating people? Can you tell me why?" Li Tian squatted down and stretched out her hand to Dapeng who was walking towards her, "Good boy, come to me quickly."

"Mom!" Dapeng chuckled and walked towards her step by step.

Chang leaned over, put his hands behind Dapeng's back and said, "It is said that the man was rude."

"But insulting big brother?" Li Tian asked.

"No, it's..." Chang hesitated.

Li Tian looked up sharply, "Is it my husband?"

Chang was a person who spoke her mind. If it was for something else, she would definitely not do so.

Chang sighed, "That person said that the son-in-law persuaded Your Majesty to attack Japan, which was a disaster for the country and the people. He also said that the son-in-law was crazy and would get his comeuppance sooner or later. He also mentioned some treacherous ministers. He said that the son-in-law was handsome and would have done great things if he had been in the early Tang Dynasty when Empress Wu was crowing at dawn."

The Empress Wu's claim to the throne was denounced as a hen crowing at dawn. Later scholars criticized this and made up countless erotic stories about the Empress Wu based on unofficial historical information they got from somewhere.

For example, countless male lovers.

There are two opinions about whether there are any two opinions about being a mistress, but countless mistresses do it just for the sake of being black.

"He said that her husband relied on his handsomeness..." But which woman could let Jiang Qingzhi be her lover? There was only one possibility... It was extremely dirty! Li Tian sneered, "Brother, you hit me just right."

"But they are from the Yan family!" Chang smiled bitterly. "That punch was satisfying. That family said that if there is no explanation, they will ask my brother to be more careful when he goes out."

"Do they think they are right?" Huang Yan'er picked up Dapeng. "That man humiliated my uncle first, and then my uncle beat him. He is wrong no matter what."

"Your father said that more and more people are now against the expedition to Japan. Yan Song and his son are among them, flirting with those scholars and officials. Your father said that a little impatience can ruin a big plan, so we have no choice but to bow our heads and wait for our son-in-law to come back before we discuss everything."

Ruyu stood aside. Huang Yaner couldn't help but want to say something sarcastic when she saw her charming appearance, so she asked, "Ruyu, if the uncle comes back, how will he deal with this matter?"

Chang took a look at Ruyu, who was delicate and gentle, and whispered, "My son-in-law has brought such a person to the backyard, so you better be careful."

Li Tian shook her head, "Don't worry, mother."

Since Ruyu took over the backyard of the Bo Mansion, it didn't take long for her to win over the hearts of the people step by step. Even Huang Yaner had to accept this reality reluctantly after many unsuccessful provocations.

Li Tian watched coldly as this delicate and gentle woman managed the backyard in an orderly manner. Her methods were gentle yet firm, and she did it with ease.

He is a talented person, but unfortunately he is not a man... Jiang Qingzhi once made a comment like "Ruyu".

Ruyu covered her mouth and smiled, "If Master Bo were here, that person would have no choice but to apologize."

Straight House.

Yan Song and his son were discussing a memorial in low voice.

"Father!"

Zhao Wenhua is here.

"What's the matter?" Yan Song coughed dryly and said to Yan Shifan, "I'll do it according to your wishes."

Yan Shifan wrote a comment and put the memorial aside. Someone would send it to Yongshou Palace later for the Taoist priest to review. If the Taoist priest had no objection, the matter would be handled according to his wishes.

This is the power of the prime minister.

But now it has become Yan Shifan's possession.

Zhao Wenhua glanced at Yan Shifan and said, "The Ministry of War sent a memorial. I took a look and was shocked. My foster father..." He took a few steps forward and said, "After Jiang Qingzhi defeated the Japanese pirates, he actually recruited the pirates."

"Eh!" Yan Song exclaimed, "I thought he would go out to sea to fight and train his navy."

According to Jiang's character, the best way is to kill him with a slap.

Yan Shifan looked up and frowned, "He has become a vegetarian? This is not right."

"Donglou is right." Zhao Wenhua said, "The Ministry of War said in its memorial that Jiang Qingzhi cleaned up the navy."

"Clean up the navy, and the pirates will surrender..." Yan Song murmured.

"Those pirates have now transformed into naval officers and soldiers." Zhao Wenhua said.

"This..." Yan Song was stunned, "He is..."

"This is a chain of events." Yan Shifan put down his brush. "There is a public opinion in the Five Military Command Office that although the navy is not good enough, it is indispensable for going to sea, so we can't act rashly. Jiang Qingzhi acted brazenly because he had the pirates as a backup. This fellow..."

"One thing leads to another, and the opponent is not given a chance to breathe. This reminds me of the Northern Expedition." The old minister narrowed his eyes. "Altan Khan sent his detachment south, determined that Jiang Qingzhi would have to leave the city for a decisive battle. Who would have thought that he was well prepared? At an inconspicuous small pass, Prince Yu and the wolf soldiers gathered together, causing Altan Khan's detachment to suffer heavy losses. This man's move... must have a plan. Those people in the south don't know how powerful he is, and they must have been stunned this time."

"Prime Minister." A eunuch came in, "Your Majesty summons you."

Yan Song stood up and said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty according to Lord Chang Wei's wishes."

This means no mixing.

Yan Shifan nodded and said, "Dad, should we tell His Majesty about Lu Shan being beaten? After all, it's not easy for us to do anything about it."

"It's not a big deal, but you're making a fuss about it." Yan Song frowned, "I know."

Lu Shan was the one beaten by Jiang Qingzhi's brother-in-law Li Dun. His sister was Yan Shifan's favorite concubine. When the concubine heard her brother being beaten, she whispered in his ear. Yan Shifan was extremely smart, but he had the same flaw as Prince Yu, that is, he was lustful. Seeing his favorite woman crying like a pear blossom in the rain, the young cabinet minister immediately threw away his fear of Jiang Qingzhi and asked someone to put pressure on Li Huan.

Li Huan had no choice but to go to Yan's house several times to apologize, but Yan Shifan avoided him.

This is a way of training the eagle, but also a way of expressing one's stance.

After Yan Song left, Zhao Wenhua said, "Dongle, Li Huan must not go too far. Be careful that Jiang Qingzhi will come back and cause trouble."

Yan Shifan rubbed his eyes. "From the purge of the Beijing guards to this trip south, Jiang Qingzhi has taken a different path. At the beginning, he was condemned by thousands of people and despised by tens of thousands of people. What about now?"

Zhao Wenhua said: "The capital is still the target of public criticism."

"In the south, Duke of Wei Xu Chengzong bowed to him, and whatever Jiang Qingzhi said was true. After the Minister of Rites was taken down by Jiang Qingzhi, the remaining five ministers all bowed to him. The garrison eunuch Wang Yan also praised Jiang Qingzhi whenever he mentioned him."

Yan Shifan said: "He has taken Nanjing, and then Jiangsu, Songjiang, Nanzhili, Zhejiang... After the sea is opened, Fujian will not be able to escape. Do you know what Jiang Qingzhi's target is for his brutal attack on the outside world?"

"The south... Fujian has many temples. It's Fujian?" Zhao Wenhua took a breath of cold air. "He actually started planning so early?"

"Everything is prepared, and failure is inevitable." Yan Shifan sighed, "We have been operating in the south, especially in Zhejiang and Fujian. This time Jiang Qingzhi's move has easily broken our good situation. We can't retreat any further. If we retreat, we will just have to hide in the capital and watch the world from a well."

"Zhou Wang is incompetent!" Zhao Wenhua gritted his teeth and said, "He actually allowed Jiang Qingzhi to control Zhejiang."

"It's not that he's incompetent. Jiang Qingzhi's methods..." Yan Shifan looked at him, "It would be useless even if you were in Zhejiang."

Zhao Wenhua was used to being submissive to Yan Shifan, and was used to being humiliated like this, "We must fight back."

"So, I'll use Lu Shan's incident to put pressure on Li Huan and let Jiang Qingzhi know that cooperation is beneficial to both sides..." Yan Shifan's eyes became more fierce, "If he keeps being aggressive and keeps trying to take food from our bowl, then don't blame us for joining forces with those people."

……

In Yongshou Palace, Yan Song was talking about this matter, "... that child was a filial child, and he didn't dare to say anything after being beaten, but the ignorant people in his family negotiated with Li Huan after learning about it..."

His words were vague, just a gesture.

——Your Majesty, Jiang Qingzhi has destroyed my Yan Song’s power in the south. I am serving Your Majesty, but I need someone’s help.

Would you like to give me some attitude?

This was the test from Yan Song and his son.

The Taoist said calmly: "Huang Jin."

Huang Jin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the East Factory has a secret report on this matter. Lu Shan got drunk that day and started to insult Chang Wei Bo. Li Dun was there at the time and got angry when he heard Lu Shan insulting his brother-in-law. He went up to argue with him. The two of them couldn't agree on an agreement and started fighting. Lu Shan was defeated."

These words are very pertinent, but they are very different from the information Yan Song received.

——Li Dun attacked rudely, and Lu Shan just defended himself.

This is one-sided bullying.

This was also the reason why Yan Song dared to expose this matter, and he wanted to test the Taoist priest.

After Jiang Qingzhi had been tossing around in the south, the members of Yan's party complained bitterly and wrote to him asking for help.

What can Yan Song do? The Taoist priest is watching! He can't do anything, so he can only appease them one by one and let those people lie low.

But this cannot last forever. If we just take the beatings without fighting back, people’s hearts will be dispersed.

Without their supporters, Yan Song and his son would be alone and powerless. Without waiting for Jiang Qingzhi to take action, the literati would turn against them and pull them down.

Although the scholars and the Yan Party are flirting with each other now, everyone knows that if there is an opportunity, both sides will not show mercy.

There is struggle in cooperation, but fighting does not lead to destruction. This is the current relationship between the Yan Party and Confucianism.

Yan Song lowered his head seemingly respectfully.

The Taoist's voice came.

"Yellow companion."

"His Majesty."

"You say, should we fight?"

"Should!"

Yan Song felt a chill down his spine.

Your Majesty, are you... letting me sit back and watch the Southern Yan Party being suppressed by Jiang Qingzhi?

"Also, Yan Qing."

"Your Majesty." Yan Song looked up and saw that the Taoist priest had an indifferent expression.

"Since this is a family matter, wait for Qingzhi to come back and you two can discuss and resolve it."
