This seventy-four-year-old man was born in the Chenghua period, became a Jinshi in the Hongzhi period, and fell silent during the Zhengde period. In this dynasty, it still took twenty years, until Xia Yan was completely overthrown, and finally

Got through it.

Seeing his father's decrepit appearance, Yan Shifan somehow thought of Xia Yan.

At that time, Xia Yan and Yan Song were from the same hometown. Yan Song was particularly flattered by Xia Yan and made careful preparations many times to invite Xia Yan to his house as a guest. However, Xia Yan either refused to agree, or after agreeing, he refused to go because he had something to do at the appointed time, which made Yan Song

All the exotic delicacies prepared were wasted.

The most outrageous time was when he was about to get off work one day. Seeing that he had no excuses, Yan Song dared to invite him, and Xia Yan agreed. After attending the banquet, he just sat down and drank three spoons of wine, one spoon of soup, and licked his lips.

Xia Yan stood up and walked away without saying a word during the whole process.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yan Song has said to people around him more than once, "I have been blamed by Guixi countless times in my life, and the two worst things are two things."

I have been humiliated countless times, but there are two that are most unbearable, and this is one of them.

Naturally, Yan Shifan also held a grudge. At that time, Jiajing gave the "Agarwood Leaf Crown" to Xia Yan, but Xia Yan actually refused to wear it. Yan Song not only wore the crown every time he went to court, but also specially covered it with a light gauze at his suggestion.

, to show solemnity.

As expected, Jiajing became increasingly unhappy with the loyal and upright Xia Yan. In the end, not only did Xia Yan fall, he became the first chief minister to be executed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Yan Shifan was still happily watching the execution, and Yan Song took up the post as a matter of course.

The chief assistant, controls the government.

But Yan Song was old after all, and Yan Shifan also began to worry when he thought about Xia Yan's outcome. If his father fell ill, no matter how clever he was, he would not be able to save the situation.

And that is obviously what many outside courtiers who oppose the strict party want to see most, especially Xu Jie, who seems to be inconspicuous but has also entered the cabinet...

So looking at Yan Song's old appearance at this time, Yan Shifan immediately understood the reason for accepting Tao Shien's invitation, walked lightly and walked in front of him.

Yan Song's ears had already turned back, and it wasn't until Yan Maoqing's pinching strength changed slightly that he opened his eyes: "Here comes the East Tower..."

Yan Shifan stepped forward and pinched his father's legs personally: "Father is tired, so let's have a rest early!"

Yan Song pinched his eyebrows and said, "I am exhausted and getting worse every day. Master Tao Tian just sent me the Return to Yuan Pill..."

Yan Shifan's eyes flashed: "Tao Zhongwen is now fighting against that Li Shizhen and is making allies. He doesn't dare to make any mistakes. You can take it."

Yan Song had a look on his face and murmured: "I really don't want to take the elixir..."

Yan Maoqing quickly lowered his head. Everyone knew the reason behind this, but they didn't dare to say it. Yan Shifan thought about it and said: "We can let Li Shizhen nurse his father back to health. This person must be more powerful than Tao Zhongwen, otherwise he would not be able to force him to do so."

To find that heavenly master is to feel like facing a formidable enemy..."

Yan Song shook his head slightly: "Judging from the situation in the southeast, this person's plan is bigger than Tao Zhongwen's!"

Zhang Jing, Li Tianchong and Hu Zongxian, who knew their shame but became brave, were training troops in the southeast. The expansion of local power made Yan Song slightly uneasy. Thinking of what Zhao Wenhua mentioned before, the miracle doctor might be the backstage of these officials.

Yan Shifan also immediately understood what his father was talking about, and sneered: "Father, do you believe what Zhao Wenhua said? If Li Shizhen wanted to get involved in the court, he would have entered the capital long ago. How could he wait until now?"

Yan Song said slowly: "Your Majesty may not value you if you come early..."

Yan Shifan thought he knew Jiajing very well: "All the Jinyi Weidong Factory came out without inviting anyone to the capital. This has made His Majesty angry. No one dares to do this if they want to win favor... In my opinion, this is

If a person concentrates on cultivation and does not care about worldly fame and fortune, if he can rise to a higher position, he will actually be able to handle it better than Tao Zhongwen."

Thinking of Jiajing's extremely conceited personality, he was indeed not a person under coercion, unless the Tatar army came to Beijing. Yan Song also nodded slightly: "If it is really Xianyun Yehe, His Majesty can't even invite him, how can you invite him?"

Yan Shifan said confidently: "In life, there are always preferences, and people like Xianyun Yehe are no exception. Otherwise, they will hide in the mountains and forests for the rest of their lives and never come out. When the time comes, I will find my own way!"

He was thinking: "Don't Your Majesty want Li Shizhen and Tao Zhongwen to fight? We can also let them fight to cure their father, so that he can live long and live a long life!"

There are all older people who don’t want to live a long life. Yan Song himself was worried that he wouldn’t be able to open his eyes once he closed them. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “Longevity? If we work for another twenty years, some people will hate us to death.

!”

Yan Shifan said coldly: "As long as you sit in this position, how can you not be hated? Let them hate you, but you can't do anything!"

Yan Song waved his hand lightly: "You, if you are too aggressive, you will suffer a loss sooner or later. If you don't like Tao Shi'en, just let Jing Qing go to the banquet. As for the rest... let's just wait and see what happens!"

Jingqing is Yan Maoqing's cousin. The godson who had been unable to get in a word immediately responded: "Yes!"

After talking some more about the important promotion of Yan Party officials, Yan Song showed a tired look, and Yan Shifan stopped disturbing him and stood up to leave.

Back in the other courtyard, just as he was about to spoil the concubine in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth rooms, the housekeeper stepped forward again and handed over the invitation: "Master, this is an invitation from Governor Lu."

Yan Shifan took it with a smile: "Lu Donghu will come to invite me when he returns to Beijing... Huh? Why don't you come to the house to talk about it when you have time today? Why are you in such a hurry?"

He and Lu Bing were called Donglou and Donghu, and they were both sons and daughters. Thinking that the Governor, who was closest to His Majesty, always called him brothers and had a close friendship, Yan Shifan became more and more disdainful of Tao Zhongwen, who was putting on airs, and once again abandoned him and looked at him.

The concubine: "Prepare the sedan chair!"

Entering the main hall of the Lu Mansion, both parties greeted each other and took their seats.

And just after drinking a glass of wine, Lu Bing got straight to the point: "Donglou, this matter has nothing to do with the court, it is only between you and me. I want Tao Zhongwen to die, can you help me?"
