Chapter 793 The last farce at the end of the year
On the next day, news about Duan Chaoyong's edict to prison spread in the official circles of the capital. To everyone, this was a very sudden news.

No one could have imagined before that Duan Chaoyong, an alchemist whose status kept rising and was almost approaching Master Tao, would be imprisoned overnight.

Accompanied by the news of Duan Chaoyong's imprisonment, there are bound to be various credible or unreliable rumors, so that people in the court can vaguely see the outline.

The only ones who understand the specific situation are the parties involved, but there are too few parties involved. After all, the matter did not happen at a large-scale court meeting.

Commander Lu Binglu came to the home of Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, and was relatively silent with his host.If it is said that Duan Chaoyong's imprisonment will hit the hardest, it can be said that it is none other than Guo Xun.

When Duan Chaoyong was able to appear in front of Emperor Jiajing, it was recommended by Guo Xun. Later, Duan Chaoyong won the credit of Emperor Jiajing with alchemy and became a Taoist priest second only to Tao Zhongwen.

Guo Xun has pinned great hopes on Duan Chaoyong, and only waits for the time to mature before he can reap the benefits.

Everything was going well at first, but suddenly the boat capsized.Even after listening to the process from Lu Bing, Guo Xun still couldn't quite understand what happened.

In other words, it is difficult for the parties who have not personally experienced the subtleties in the scene at that time.

Guo Xun asked suspiciously: "Didn't Yan Song and Qin Dewei criticize each other, how did Duan Chaoyong get involved?"

Lu Bing couldn't answer this question, so he could only say: "What can I do now? Can I save Duan Chaoyong?"

Commander Lu didn't have a strong sense of crisis, and he didn't think anything would happen to him, mainly because he felt that it was a pity that Duan Chao lost this pawn.

In fact, Guo Xun also had the same thoughts. Although he recommended Duan Chaoyong to the emperor, what he recommended was the alchemy of cultivating immortals, not other aspects.

It is impossible to dismiss a hereditary founding marquis who kindly recommends an expert to help the emperor cultivate immortality just because of Duan Chaoyong's political ambitions.

After Guo Xun thought about it, he was still reluctant to part with the huge amount of effort he had spent.You know, he has already invested tens of thousands of taels of silver in Duan Chaoyong!
In the end, Lord Guo Hou sighed: "We still need to save! But I beg Mr. Yan Ge to join us!"

Immediately, Guo Xun sent someone to inquire, and when he learned that Mr. Yan Ge would rest tonight, he came to Yan's mansion overnight.

When Guo Xun was in charge of the military and had deep grievances with civil servants, Yan Song was still a marginal figure, so Guohou Lord and Yan Song had no direct conflicts.Now that things are up to now, he can still put down his face and speak up at critical moments.

Although Yan Song and Guo Xun do not have a deep friendship, they have a solid foundation of sympathy. They are both Qin Dewei's "victims" and have a common language.

Seeing that they are both the anti-Qin united front, and Guo Xun has a certain value in wooing, at first Yan Ge sincerely persuaded him with a few words:
"Duan Chaoyong has aroused His Majesty's suspicion, so why should Lord Guo be reluctant? You still need the courage to cut off your tail to survive."

Guo Xun replied preparedly: "The matter didn't have to come to this, the emperor was also furious for a while and couldn't distinguish clearly, Duan Chaoyong still has a lot of life.

First, the emperor has always treated the soldiers leniently and rarely imposed severe punishments. Even if they made small mistakes, they would be more lenient.

In the final analysis, Duan Chaoyong did not have any heinous current crimes. As long as he is forgiven by the emperor, he can easily be forgiven.

Second, some people say that Duan Chao used the scheme of the prince to supervise the country, which is really nonsense!You know, Duan Chaoyong is an alchemist, and only the emperor would trust an alchemist!
So Duan Chao only thought about the prince supervising the country when he was full, which is completely impossible!Could it be that the crown prince supervised the country to bring more benefits to Duan Chaoyong?
The gains and losses in this, the emperor may have been blinded by the traitor for a while, and coupled with the illness, so he was overlooked.

But as long as he can persuade the emperor to figure out the joints, Duan Chaoyong will naturally be pardoned. "

Having said that, Guo Xun stopped.

Yan Songdang also heard the voice, Guo Xun said that the person who can wake up the emperor is not referring to him and who is Yan Song?

Guo Xun lowered his figure today and ran to the Yan Mansion to intercede, isn't that what he is asking for?

Yan Song also fell silent, thinking about the pros and cons.If Duan Chaoyong can still save it, then if the venture capital investment is successful, the benefits will be huge.

Guo Xun persuaded again: "With Qin Dewei's disposition, since he has grasped Duan Chaoyong, he must use this to tease Mr. Yan Ge!
It's not that I'm alarmist. I heard that there were already signs of this during the debate in front of the emperor. Could it be that Mr. Yan Ge is not vigilant? "

This is true. Yan Song spoke very cautiously at the time, but he was forcibly bound to Lu Bing and became a supporter of Duan Chaoyong on the spot.

Seeing that Yan Song didn't object, Guo Xun continued to persuade: "Even if Mr. Yan Ge doesn't care about Duan Chaoyong's life or death, he should ask for self-protection, and Qin Dewei can't let Duan Chaoyong be manipulated!"

Yan Song said vaguely: "Understood, I will naturally not sit still."

After Guo Xun left, Yan Shifan turned around from behind the screen and asked Yan Song, "What does father think?"

In fact, Yan Ge always has the same thinking as Lu Bing and Guo Xun in one place, and he doesn't have much sense of crisis, and he doesn't think Duan Chaoyong can implicate himself.

Unnecessary is just unfounded, I really have nothing to do with Duan Chaoyong!
So what Yan Song really considered was whether he could make good use of Duan Chaoyong and grab certain benefits from Duan Chaoyong.

Hearing his son's question, Yan Song replied, "Just thinking about the chances of the emperor pardoning Duan Chaoyong."

Yan Shifan did not continue the discussion with his father, and directly expressed his own experience: "I have been thinking about a question for the past two days, what are the real and irreplaceable benefits of Qin Dewei's Duan Chaoyong?

In other words, the benefits that Qin Dewei can reap from working hard on Duan Chaoyong can be obtained in other ways, so why bother to spend so much effort on Duan Chaoyong? "

After being reminded by his own son, Yan Song also fell into deep thought.

This question is actually a very basic question, but it is this very basic question that is ignored by many people.

Then Yan Shifan said very firmly: "In addition, with Qin Dewei's means, it will not end just by sending Duan Chaoyong to the imperial prison, there must be a follower, so that Duan Chaoyong will not be able to stand up.

There are countless similar examples, which one did Qin Dewei let go in the end?I am the only one who can stand up! "

He felt that what his son said made sense, but Mr. Yan Ge was speechless.

Yan Shifan concluded: "The words Guo Xun said sound very good, but they are completely based on the fact that Qin Dewei has no backers, but this seems unlikely.

So my suggestion to my father is to let Guo Xun go ahead and give it a try. If Qin Dewei's backhand is triggered, let him die!
If Qin Dewei has no backup, then according to what Guo Xun said, it's okay to fish out Duan Chaoyong, and it won't do us much harm. "

Over the years, Yan Song has also been frightened by Qin Dewei, and he fully agrees with his son's two-handed approach.

However, Yan Song still has further ideas: "If Guo Xun is allowed to try, I don't know when we will see the results.

And we are separated by a layer, I am afraid that a lot of important information, such as Qin Dewei's movements, cannot be known at the first time, which will lead to misjudgment. "

After a little thought, Yan Shifan said: "There are ways, and we don't necessarily have to rely on Guo Xun to be the pioneer.

We not only want to wake up the emperor, but also remind the ministers that Qin Dewei will use the Duan Dynasty to eliminate dissidents and fight against dissidents!
If the people in the official circles become panicked, and everyone speaks out and burns money and bones, it will also be a huge public opinion pressure on Qin Dewei.

If Qin Dewei does anything to fight back against public opinion, he will definitely expose his backhand!
At that point, I'll know what to do! "

As for his son's intentions, Yan Song could guess a lot, but he couldn't guess here. He asked strangely: "You also have a backhand? What is it?"

Yan Shifan said confidently: "Father, you don't need to ask too many questions, you will know when the time comes! Let's see how I deal with Qin Dewei!"

Yan Song only felt that his son seemed to be inexplicably excited.

While others were thinking about whether Duan Chaoyong could be brought back to life and used for waste, Qin Dewei and Qin Zhongtang didn't have Duan Chaoyong in his heart at all.

In his mind, Duan Chaoyong is already a dead person, so there is no need to waste his thoughts.

Qin Zhongtang only cares about three things, real power, real power, and real power!
Only by grasping more real power can we do more good deeds, distinguish ourselves from Yan Song and his ilk, and not allow future generations to write biographies of Qin Dewei and Yan Song side by side!

When Qin Zhongtang walked into Wenyuan Pavilion, he always felt that someone was pointing at him. At first, he thought it was an illusion.

Later, I thought about it again, as a celebrity, it is normal to be the focus of attention wherever I go, and it is normal for people to criticize me.

It wasn't until Fang You and Fang Sheren came to report on the work, and after the end, he still hesitated to speak, Qin Dewei realized that he might be "overwhelmed at the top" again!

Under Qin Zhongtang's persecution, Fang Sheren had no choice but to say: "There are rumors in all the yamen outside that Qin Zhongtang, taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness and using Duan Chaoyong as an excuse, plans to set up a big prison and cut off dissidents wantonly! "

Qin Dewei slapped the case angrily: "Who is so boring to spread such gossip? Nothing, rumors stop at wise men!"

Fang Sheren said again: "What's even more frightening is that many people actually believed it."

Without saying a word, Qin Dewei got up and walked outside.

Fang Sheren chased after him and asked, "Where does Qin Zhongtang want? If you want to lecture, wait until I gather everyone!"

Fang You thought that Qin Zhongtang would summon all the ministers in the cabinet, but he heard Qin Zhongtang say: "When the rumors are the most powerful, go to the Ministry of Industry to scare people!"

Fang Sheren: "."

Knowing that Qin Zhongtang is a ruthless person, he never thought that he would be even more ruthless to himself, even using his own rumors!

It only took a quarter of an hour for Qin Dewei to appear at the Ministry of Industry outside the southeast of the imperial city, and sat opposite to Gan Weilin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

This is Qin Dewei's first visit to the Ministry of Industry after he was added as the "Ministry of Industry's Left Servant".

Taking advantage of the tea time, Gan Shangshu habitually secretly sent someone to call Yan Shifan, otherwise he would have no idea if he faced Qin Dewei alone.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Dewei began to ask for money from the dignitaries of the Military Weapons Bureau. It is estimated that the scale will be tripled, and he will also recruit Yan Shifan to be his assistant.

Gan Shangshu felt that Qin Dewei was here to talk nonsense, how could he agree to such an unreasonable request!

As for why Qin Dewei dared to come over suddenly and make such an unreasonable request, Gan Shangshu also "knows a thing or two", isn't it the new situation of the struggle!
Qin Zhongtang put down the teacup, "Didn't Da Sikong hear the recent rumors? You must know that rumors are far ahead prophecies, and Da Sikong is not afraid of the prophecies coming true?"

Although the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is slightly lower than the other ministries, it is still one of the six ministers. Gan Weilin couldn't bear it and said:
"It's already the end of the year! You treacherous ministers are starting to fight again! Can you stop for a few days and let the emperors of the court have a good year with peace of mind!"

Qin Dewei was stunned, these words were completely beyond his expectation, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Just at this time, seeing Yan Shifan coming in, Qin Dewei said to Yan Shifan: "I don't know if you heard, Gan Shangshu actually insulted your father as a traitor!"

Yan Shifan: "."

But I can't go into details about this matter. Gan Shangshu just said "you treacherous officials" by mistake in a moment of anger. It's hard to go into details about who "you" includes.

Qin Dewei suddenly said to Yan Shifan again: "I just discovered a problem, your Ministry of Industry is not afraid of rumors!

It can even be said that they don't care about rumors at all!For example, Mr. Yan Ge was already suspected of colluding with Duan Chaoyong in Yuqian, don't you, as a son of man, dare not care about rumors? "

Yan Shifan took over Gan Shangshu's stage, and said to Qin Dewei: "So what, are you making a fuss because of some rumors?"

Qin Dewei made a very decisive judgment: "The Zhongtang can only be understood as that the rumors may have spread from you!

Dare to spread such rumors that slander the minister, wait for the emperor to punish him! "

For things like political rumors, it all depends on free evidence. Whether there is evidence is not important.

Yan Shifan laughed a few times: "Even if I, Yan Shifan, said it, so what?

Isn't this a rumor?You, Qin Dewei, really don't know how to use Duan Chao to eliminate dissidents? "

Qin Zhongtang sneered and said, "You don't know how powerful you are! I've shown mercy!

It has been found out that Duan Chao used false claims to be able to refine weapons, deliberately offered fake fairy weapons, and deceived the emperor that using fairy weapons can lead to longevity!
Do you think Duan Chaoyong deserves to die?If you are implicated by Duan Chaoyong"

As soon as Qin Dewei finished speaking, he saw Yan Shifan's stature shortened and quickly lowered down.

Originally, Qin Zhongtang thought that Yan Shifan was going to use the old routine to pretend to be dizzy, but unexpectedly Yan Shifan knelt down and saluted directly: "Qin Zhongtang is in charge of the military bureau, and I wish to do my best!"

Qin Dewei: "."

After all the calculations, Yan Shifan still can't fix it!What is going on in this person's mind!
In terms of superiority and inferiority, with Qin Zhongtang's status, he deserves Yan Shifan's salute.But from the perspective of fighting father, Yan Shifan generally does not salute ministers!

Yan Shifan sneered secretly in his heart, he would be shameless, let's see what else Qin Dewei can do!
Anyway, after he was beaten in public at the Meridian Gate, he was a big joke!In front of Qin Dewei, he was already ashamed!
It doesn't matter if you continue to be shameless now!My quasi-chief assistant son has already knelt down, you Qin Dewei still have the face to continue to clean up me?Do you, Qin Dewei, still want the reputation of Shilin?
He, Yan Shifan, knew that Qin Dewei must have a backhand, this is how he dealt with Qin Dewei's backhand!
And Qin Zhongtang found out very rarely that he had nothing to do for a while.
