Seventy-six years old, this is not considered a long life in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, more than 90% of people could not live this age.

Relying on the chair of the Grand Master Yan Song looked up slightly at Qian Yuan who was slowly walking. The winter sunlight brought a hint of warmth to the dark study and made the old man's face undoubtedly reveal the old man's spots.

Yan Song's first impression of Qian Yuan was that he was old and was really too old. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was about to be on the right path. Qian Yuan could hardly imagine that this old man could suppress Xu Jie for several years... I remember that Yan Song would not be dismissed from office until four or five years later, and it took several years to die in misery.

"Huating Qian Yuan greeted Yuan Fu." Qian Yuan saluted in an indecisive way.

Yan Song did not open his eyes like in the novel, and his eyes were shining... He just squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the young man in front of him who had been heard for a long time but had met for the first time.

He has a tall figure, a clear voice, his eyebrows are like flying, his temples are like swords, and his gentle and quiet smile contains a sense of confidence that everything seems to be clear.

After a faint sigh, Yan Song murmured: "He looks so handsome."

Qian Yuandu is Sparta... The first sentence of the cabinet chief minister who is below ten thousand people in the Ming Dynasty praised me for being handsome?

Is this so handsome?

"Look closer." Yan Song waved to Qian Yuan and chuckled, "Even if Donglou became a Jinshi in the year, he could only be the Nine Ministers at most, and he would never be included in the Pavilion."

Qian Yuan tugged at the corner of his mouth. Are you always calling his son ugly?

"Everyone who enters the cabinet is handsome." A trace of cunning flashed in Yan Song's eyes, "Your Majesty was not just flattering me to flatter everyone."

Indeed, although he is old, it can be seen that Yan Song is much better than Yan Shifan.

Qian Yuan didn't say anything, just complaining in his heart... You are not only calling your son ugly, but also bringing your wife with you!

"So, being handsome is good." Yan Song supported himself and thought of getting up. "Even if he is a Jinshi of the third grade, being handsome is easier to enter the sixth subjects, and the Censorate is a censor of the Department."

Qian Yuan quickly stepped forward and helped him, "Xie Yuanfu gave advice."

"What did I do with me?...that's your luck."

Yan Song slowly walked to the window and reached out to try to capture the sunshine passing through the window. "The east building is so domineering, I'm leaving..."

Yan Song turned sideways with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Zhancai, how many people can stay in Yan's mansion at that time?"

"Yuan Fu is too worried." Qian Yuan had a gentle smile on his face, "Your Majesty will definitely treat Yuan Fu with kindness, so..."

"You know what I'm talking about." Yan Song interrupted.

Qian Yuan did know what Yan Song was worried about. The Yan Party’s reputation was too bad, too many unethical things were done, and too many officials were driven away... No matter who came to power, it was almost inevitable to use Yan Song and Yan Shifan in exchange for reputation.

Heshen of the Qing Dynasty is a typical example. Killing him can make money and reputation... countless people will rush to do such things.

However, Qian Yuan also analyzed from just a few sentences that Yan Song was still very confident in Emperor Jiajing, and he was worried about the liquidation after King Yu ascended the throne.

I have to say that there are many stupid people in this world, but there are no stupid people who can climb to a high position. Perhaps others are confused by the fire cooking oil in front of you, but at least Yan Song is very sober, and similar ones are Zhao Wenhua.

But Yan Song still miscalculated. He did not expect that Xu Jie hated him so deeply. His only son was beheaded, his grandsons were exiled, and he was sent to the tomb alone to eat in the tomb, and even buried without a coffin.

Qian Yuan looked at the old man with complex emotions mixed in his eyes. Yan Song was a famous treacherous minister who could be compared with Qin Hui in history. Historical books have no other talent, but he only wanted to be charming and stealing power and losing power.

But in the view of time traveler Qian Yuan, it is hard to say, at least Xu Jie is not much better than Yan Song.

Xia Yan's death ultimately falls in political struggle. If it were Xu Jie, the result would be similar.

It is unlikely that bribes will be accepted and sold. The positions in the court that have authority are basically controlled by Emperor Jiajing. The fifth-rank officials are all under the power of the Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Personnel. Li Mo, who served as Minister of Personnel twice, was the flag bearer against Yan Song.

It is difficult for Qian Yuan to judge whether Yan Song is aware of others and make good use of it, but at least Hu Zongxian's rise comes from Yan Song's support. Just this point, Yan Song is not just a mistake but a waste of effort.

In Qian Yuan's view, Yan Song's biggest guilt is that he will occupy the pit and not shit.

Now the Ming Dynasty is full of internal and external troubles. Many officials with a spirit of hard work and ability are waiting for the opportunity. The most typical ones are Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Qian Yuan's uncle Qian Zheng.

They all urgently hoped to change the Ming Dynasty's tragic problems through their own efforts, but Yan Song had no choice but to take the position and refused to move. A large number of Yan Party officials surrounded Yan Song and Yan Shifan controlled the government.

Yan Song was a little disappointed after not getting Qian Yuan’s response for a long time. He turned around and sat back on the chair, hesitated for a moment and whispered: “Shujishi.”

In addition to passing the first grade, Shujishi is the best choice and the only way to enter the Hanlin Academy. Yan Song offered a condition that was not bad, but this was not within Qian Yuan's plan.

Qian Yuan raised his eyebrows, "I don't have such talent, but please give me the instructions."

Yan Song looked directly at Qian Yuan with his dark eyes, and after a long time, he whispered: "The fourth son of the East Building must always leave a bloodline."

"Haha." Qian Yuan smiled helplessly, "Yuan Fu is too pessimistic, why is this?"

"To put it bluntly, even if things go by, Yuan Fu respects the younger generation too much..."

"When Yuan Fu retired, Qian might not have won the Jinshi, and even if he passed the Jinshi, he would be only a minor one."

Yan Song quietly listened to Qian Yuan's words, raised his hand tremblingly and waved it, "Zhancai underestimated himself too much."

Qian Yuan's brows couldn't help but frown tightly. He himself didn't believe that he had such ability.

"Success is both Xiao He and failure is both Xiao He." Yan Song said to himself, sighing, "Zhan has just reached twenty this year, right?"

"Yes, after the New Year, the age of twenty is over." Qian Yuan had a vague guess in his mind.

"This matter is decided." Yan Song picked up an inkstone from the table and handed it over, and said, "Gao Suqing is brave enough to do things and has an unparalleled talent. Although he is a little bit narrow, he must be tolerant of talent."

This sentence is easy to understand. Gao Gong is already in his forties this year, and Qian Yuan is just twenty years old. Gao Gong can't tolerate Chen Yiqin and others who are also the lecturer of Prince Yu's mansion, but they can tolerate Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan’s guess was confirmed, but there was another guess. This was Yan Song’s judgment or the information Yan Song got from Emperor Jiajing.

Soon, Qian Yuan concluded that it should be the words of Emperor Jiajing, otherwise Yan Song would not have made such a heavy bet.

Qian Yuan had this feeling when he was facing the saint before. Emperor Jiajing mentioned twice that Qian Yuan was too young in a regretful tone... The hidden meaning of this sentence is very obvious. He can't use it, so he can only leave it to the next emperor.

There are many reasons why Yan Song bet. Emperor Jiajing is old, and in recent years he has gradually become dissatisfied with his body. However, he is also old and may not be able to survive until after Emperor Jiajing. His only son Yan Shifan is too rampant, and his fate in the future is almost predictable. It is good to be dismissed from office and return home.

Of course, Yan Song's choice was not just Qian Yuan. In the past or two years, besides party struggles, his greatest efforts were spent on his grandchildren's marriage.

The wife of the eldest grandson of Enyang, Sun Yanhong, is the great-grandson-in-law of Hu Qian, the Minister of Rites. The second grandson of Enyang, Yanhong, married the daughter of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, and the granddaughter was engaged to Kong Shangxian, the 64th generation of Yansheng Gong.

The eldest grandson Yan Shaoqing and the eldest granddaughter of Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo were engaged, while the second grandson Yan Shaoting and the eldest daughter of the Jinyiwei commander Lu Bing were engaged.

However, Yan Song put his greatest hope on Qian Yuan.

The reason is very simple. Qian Yuan is the only one who can contact King Yu.

For this reason, the meeting gift Yan Song gave today made Qian Yuan stun his tongue.

The light green inkstone is warm and bright, and there are glittering silver stars on the ink pond, which makes people happy at first sight.

"This is Tianyan." Qian Zheng can be regarded as a powerful memory of "Su Dongpo's Tianyan."

Qian Yuan suddenly realized and immediately remembered the famous "Tianshui Iceberg Record" in history, which is as famous as 60,000 words. It is said that Tianyan is among them.

After putting Tianyan in his sleeve, Qian Yuan did not see Qian Zheng's envious look, and only thought in his mind that Yan Song... isn't this meat bun hitting a dog?

Although Qian Yuan tried his best to move around among many forces in the North Korean and Chinese, he did not like this, which did not conform to his personality.

If Xu Jie wants to beat the dog in the future, Qian Yuan’s biggest possibility is to take advantage of the chaos to get some benefits for himself, and then beat Yan Dang to increase his reputation or separate himself from him.

It has to be said that Qian Yuan’s impression on outsiders in the past two years has been too positive. In this era, his reputation as a filial son is very strong and his reputation as a filial son has largely proved a person’s character.
