When Li Yanzhi and Yan Shifan met for the second time, Yan Shifan's attitude was already very different. This time, he at least treated Li Yanzhi as a person of the same level of intelligence! Even if there is no need to speak, it can be seen from his eyes when he looked at Li Yanzhi.

"I heard you ran to the West Mountain yesterday." Yan Shifan said with a smile: "Did you meet the unruly and arrogant lady of the Lu family?"

Li Yan smiled and refused to answer. Yan Shifan asked him what he was doing in Lu Mansion. Li Yan said directly: "Feng Qi was accidentally caught by the Beizhen Fushi. I was blind-headed and flies. I heard that I could save people there, so I ran to try it. Unexpectedly, I crashed into the Jinyiwei's nest!"

Yan Shifan laughed and asked him if he needed help. Li Yan said straight: "Fortunately, Lord Lu is willing to collect the money, so it's okay."

Li Yanzhi was noticed by Yan Shifan at this time, so Yan Shifan knew about his trip to the West Mountain. As for the secret meeting with Lu Errong last night, Yan Shifan could not notice it because of the power of the Jinyiwei as a cover! Li Yanzhi inferred this from his tone and broke up with the progress of his relationship with the Lu family.

Yan Shifan invited Li Yanzhi to come today, but it was not for this. He took out a secret letter that had been cut off and handed it to Li Yanzhi, but only seven or eight names were left. A few of them Li Yanzhi recognized them and knew that they were all high-ranking officials above the fifth rank, so he guessed that the names of other people he didn't know were mostly similar.

"What is this for?" Li Yan asked directly.

Yan Shifan said: "The court may set up a large-scale official, admiral Zhejiang, Fujian coastal defense affairs, and governor Southeast. As for the candidates, it is likely to be chosen from here." Li Yanzhi's heart was shocked, and Yan Shifan said: "Don't ask me why I have this list! I can't say which of them Xia Yan will appoint, but for me, it is not difficult to find this list."

Li Yanzhi still didn't understand what Yan Shifan gave him this gift, but Yan Shifan smiled and said, "I can't give you the handwriting. You can write down your name and go back and think about it carefully."

He actually took the guests away.

Li Yanzhi knew that he had such a temper, so he said goodbye and went back to the spice shop and wrote down the list. He summoned Feng Qi and Jiang Yifan discussed it. Feng Qi and Jiang Yifan could not see the intention of Yan Shifan's move for a while. Li Yanzhi ordered them to first find out the resumes of the eight officials on this list, and then talk about their temperaments.

On this list, there are four Feng Qi who are familiar with, two know their names, and two have never heard of them. This is because their kung fu has not yet reached their home level. If Yan Song is replaced, most officials above the country's sixth rank can memorize the resumes of the country.

Han Yu said: Be diligent in career! The oil seller said: Only by being skilled. These civil servants of the Ming Dynasty focused all their energy on internal struggles, and few people cared about overseas. Therefore, no matter how smart and capable he reflected in the official struggle, he would be a disgrace to the outside world!

The four officials were of different grades, and they all had official reputations. Feng Qi and Jiang Yifan went to investigate for two days and then found out clearly. After comparing the four officials he already knew, he immediately summarized several common characteristics of these people: competence, toughness, and not fearing power! Of course, these people's ability, toughness and not fearing power are divided into high and low levels. Two of them are suspected of corruption, but they all have the experience of making clear decisions and decisive things!

Li Yanzhi suddenly understood!

The people on the list seemed to have the shadow of Xia Yan! These people all have ideals, and the self-disciplined people are very strict-even strict. Five of them have had very paranoid behaviors! This is why they attract attention!

"If these people were asked to go to Fujian, Zhejiang, things would be bad!" Li Yan said straight: "What the Southeast now needs is an intelligent insight into the two paths of officials and civilians, and can shock the black and white people, with a broad mind and flexible wrists! Instead of some fierce officials like this!"

Feng Qi sighed: "We are wise and resourceful, powerful and brave, broad-minded and flexible - where can we find such a person!"

"Yes, there is one here!" Jiang Yifan pointed at Li Yan and smiled: "He is talking about himself!"

Li Yanzhi was not humble nor admitted it, but said, "It is natural for Xia Yan to choose these people, and these people... maybe they are good people, maybe they have a good intention, but this personality will definitely make things worse!"

"What should I do?" Jiang Yifan said: "Do you have to try to stop it?"

Stop it? How to stop it? Not to mention that Li Yanzhi is just a juren who is preparing to take the imperial examination in Beijing. Even if he is the top scorer, he is not qualified to point fingers in front of the prime minister of the dynasty! Not to mention stopping the other party!

To stop this, unless it is...

Change to a prime minister!

The three of them thought of this almost at the same time! They looked at each other and immediately knew the meaning of the list Yan Shifan gave to Li Yanzhi!

"He wants to throw you into the group!" Jiang Yifan said.

For Yan Song and his son, the present is a low point. At this time, uniting all the forces that can be united and gathering all the people who can help is what they want to do! Li Yanzhi has money in his hands and plans in his stomach. Even Yan Shifan has admitted that he is a personal figure. Such a person is of course very useful to the Yan father and son!

Yan Shifan's method of winning over Li Yanzhi was really clever - Yan Shifan didn't say anything at all, and just used a list to ask Li Yanzhi to understand that letting Xia Yan reign would seriously hinder each other's major affairs!

In the face of interests, kindness is no longer important, loyalty and treason are even more vain! If Li Yanzhi still wants to stick to his position in front of Yan Shifan, there seems to be no other way out except supporting a new prime minister to defeat Xia Yan! And among the civil and military officials in the court, Yan Song is undoubtedly the one who has the most chance to replace Xia Yan!

"Actually, Yan Song is very good." Seeing Li Yanzhi's embarrassment, Jiang Yifan said: "This old guy doesn't know anything else, he is the strongest with the clique. And he is easy to talk to, and what's even better is that his son is willing to collect money and do things..."

The maritime merchants have money, and Yan Song is willing to collect money, so things will be easier to handle!

"No!" Feng Qi said, "Don't forget that Xia Yan is Xu Huating's kindness!"

The relationship between Xu Jie and Li Yanzhi is unknown to outsiders, but the disciples who enter the house understand very well! And what is the relationship between Xu Jie and Xia Yan? In a word: Xu Jie can return to Beijing by Xia Yan’s promotion! For those who are in the officialdom, those who are willing to take the lead in adversity are close friends, and those who promote themselves in the midst of despair are their kind fathers!

Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Li Yanzhi, there is a subtle relationship between the three old, Zhong and Qing. From a certain level, they are the family! It would be natural if they form a party!

But now there is a strange situation that prevents the three of them from forming a party!

When Xu Jie returned to Beijing and knew that he could reenter the center, Xia Yan, who had once sinned, brought a gift to thank him and apologized to his relatives who had offended Xia Yan. However, Xia Yan turned back his gift and did not accept his gratitude, because Xia Yan was a "lonely minister" and recommended Xu Jie to "reward outside and not avoid revenge". He was doing business and had no selfish intentions!

Xu Jie's temper is similar. Although Li Yanzhi secretly helped Xu Fan a lot and bought a lot of industries for the Xu family, he avoided his worries, but Li Yan did not take the initiative to meet him until Beijing, but instead seemed very cold and avoided suspicion.

In short, these three people have similar ideas, but it is difficult to get together with each other! Especially on some major issues, there are even considerable conflicts! Especially when there are almost selflessness between Xia Yan and Xu Jie, it is difficult to become a party. However, Xu Jie and Li Yanzhi have public and private affairs, so they can get close in secret.

"I think it's time for me to go and meet Master Xu..."

Late at night, Xu Jie was sorting out documents from the Ministry of Personnel, and suddenly heard that Li Yanzhi was visiting.

"Is it a gentleman's way to visit at night? I won't see you!"

After a while, a small commotion suddenly broke out in the yard, and Li Yanzhi actually broke in!

How could the mansion of the Left Minister of Personnel in the dynasty be easily trespassed? The butler of the Xu family was panicked, but Li Yanzhi just broke in and rushed straight to the study!

Xu Jie looked up at him. It was not seen for many years. Li Yanzhi grew from a child to a young man. He completely changed his appearance. At this time, the lights were dimmed again, but Xu Jie only looked up and looked at him. He seemed to recognize him as Li Yanzhi. He snorted and continued to lower his head to sort out the documents. The butler knew that Li Yanzhi was. Seeing that the master had no words, he retreated.

"Sir Xu." Li Yan bowed directly.

"What are you doing?" Xu Jie slapped the copywriting heavily and said reproachingly: "If you don't study hard and prepare for the exam, you will come to my minister's mansion in the middle of the night. Don't you want fame or fame anymore, right?"

He scolded fiercely, but Li Yanzhi felt an inexplicable intimacy. Sometimes only those who really care about you would curse people like this!

Without saying anything, he handed over the list - of course his own handwriting.

The two of them had just not met for many years, and they still had a connection. Therefore, Li Yanzhi was very familiar with Xu Jie. He only took a look and said in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Li Yanzhi didn't play with Xu Jie, and said, "The important matters of Southeast Sea Defense will probably be selected from these people, right?"

As the Minister of Personnel, Xu Jie was in charge of the personnel work of officials across the country. Although he didn't know exactly this, he also heard about it. He raised his eyebrows and burned the note on the spot, pointing at Li Yan and said straight: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, why have you gone on the evil path! Where did you get this list? What did you do?"

"I didn't go through the evil path!" Li Yanzhi said: "I'm not using this to invite fame and fortune. It's just a matter of the Southeast. Mr. Xu may not know it carefully, but he should also know better than Mr. Xia. What will happen if he chooses someone from here? Mr. Xu should be able to see him!"

Xu Jie snorted, "This is not what you should care about now!"

"I know!" Li Yanzhi followed and said, "So I hope Master Xu can manage it! As long as Master Xu, you nod, I will go out of the city immediately and go to Xishan to study with peace of mind!"

Xu Jie closed his eyes for a moment, finally shook his head and said, "Georg Xia will not be influenced by anyone! It is difficult for me to see him, let alone ask him to change his mind! What's more... Now that chaos in the southeast is gradually arose, I also need a dose of strong medicine to clean up..."

"How can this be done!" Li Yan said straight: "If you are too tough, you will be broken! I am afraid that if you have a strong medicine, the disease will not be cured, and the Southeast will be disabled first! To treat the Southeast, you need to use a flexible person!"

"Flexible wrists?" Xu Jie sneered: "There are many people who are gentle and charming today, but if you want to send those people, the southeast will only be more chaotic! The people will only be more miserable!"

Li Yan said straight: "But now that these pedantic scholars are sent, they will definitely not be able to cut off the root of the disease. They just use strong medicine to press the pressure. The next time they attack again, they may be outbreaking and uncontrollable! In the southeast, the method of combining hardness and softness must be used!"

Xu Jie asked what is the method of combining hardness and softness.

Li Yan said bluntly: "Killing chickens to warn monkeys, chasing naughty people overseas, and rectifying coastal defense is a tough one; opening sea bans, establishing border tariffs, and moving the people in the mainland to the border is a soft one. If the business road is smooth, there will be fewer thieves, and if the foreign immigrants, the food load will be lighter. The current situation is God is forcing us to expand, but we go against the will of heaven, retreating and banning the sea, not allowing the people to move on their own, and even legislated laws to kill the people who go out to the sea. What a fierce medicine? This is poison!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but scolded: "Huangkouru! Discussing big things! You just said these nonsense, and any of them can make you not enter the imperial examination for life! You will never turn over! If you don't take the position or do your own thing, boy! Go back quickly, cover your head and take a nap, and cut off all these delusions!"

Li Yanzhi said, "Sir Xu, you have entered the official career for your own safety? For your own official title?"

When Xu Jie heard this, his face turned dark, but he said, "If you know that it is impossible, it is the realm of a saint! You and I are not saints. If you can do it where you can do it, it will be very difficult!"

Li Yan said straight: "Geor Xia is known as the prime minister! If he bravely promotes this policy, can't he take a step?"

Xu Jie sneered: "Of course!"

Li Yan said straight: "If this is the case, then he is a corpse-positioned meal! Why not make it another person!"

Xu Jie's face changed slightly and he said, "What are you thinking about again!"

Li Yan said straight: "I hope that both the government, the government, the people, can do their best, instead of not thinking it is difficult or impossible, so I won't do it!"

Xu Jie was silent. After all, he was a person who was truly willing to do things and was doing things in the Ming Dynasty! Indulging Xu Fan in business and acquiescing Li Yanzhi to help him manage his own finances does not affect his heart to maintain his country and the people!

After a long time, Xu Jie suddenly said, "Do you dare to meet Mr. Xia? This incident may affect your ability to try!"

Li Yanzhi came before he didn't expect Xu Jie to make such a suggestion! After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, I'll go!"

"I'm not sure," Xu Jie waved his hand to write to Xia Yan, saying that he knew that a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam was deeply aware of the Japanese in Fujian. He asked Xia Yan if he was willing to make an exception and summoned him. He said, "If Xia Ge is willing to see you, it will probably not be long. There are some things you have to consider! If I can say something here, I will say something that I can't say when I get to him! Otherwise, I'm afraid that your life will be difficult!" (To be continued.
