Chapter 81

Jiajing called four officials to the Danfang and gave them money.

The four of them were very excited and had no choice. The matter had dragged on for a long time, and they had no money to solve it.

They have always been worried that there will be problems. Zhejiang and Fujian, but there are Japanese pirates and pirates, and now they know that Jiajing is going to take out money from the internal money to give them to do things, how can they not be excited!
"I don't have much money here, so take this, it's a good thing to do badly!" Jiajing said and looked at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang immediately took the money and distributed it to them. A total of 28 taels were distributed, and Jiajing had the remaining 2 taels.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will do their best!" A man in the middle kowtowed to Jiajing.

Others also kowtowed with money.

"Go!" Jiajing looked at them and said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers are leaving!" After kowtowing, the four stood up, took three steps back, and then left under the leadership of the eunuch.

At this moment, Zhang Hao came to the front, looking at Jiajing, there were only 2 taels left in front of him.

"Your Majesty, are you gone now?" Zhang Hao said, pointing to the silver note in front of Jiajing.

"Well, no, the court needs money, there are holes everywhere!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with a wry smile and said.

"You you, this is too fast!" Zhang Hao was still surprised, 30 taels, 28 taels were gone in an instant.

"Okay, if it's gone, it's gone. The money is used for errands!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and said.

Zhang Hao nodded.

And after the few of them got the money, Chaotang knew it right away. Of course Yan Song knew it right away. For some reason, he was a little flustered.

"It's a good thing to get the money. It's not easy for the emperor to save money from his inner purse, and tell them to do things well! Don't let the emperor's grace." Yan Song sat there, facing the official who came to report. said.

But he knew very well in his heart that he didn't have much money at all, and half of the money was handed over to the harem, and Jiajing had half of the money left.

And the internal money is only 70 taels of silver every year. This is three-quarters of the year passed. It is impossible for Jiajing to have 28 taels.

Yan Song knew that [-]% of the money came from Zhang Hao. In the future, if Jiajing had more money, he would bypass him and meet directly with the ministers below. At that time, his status would be at stake, and he would even have to ask for more money. Lose your life.

Of course Lu Ben knew that, but he was calm and didn't change his face. He was getting old, and it would be a matter of a year or two to retire. He didn't want to participate in many things unless it was something he really couldn't get used to.

At noon, Yan Song returned to the mansion. After Yan Shifan found out, he went to Yan Song's study.

"Dad, do you know what happened in the morning? The emperor bypassed the cabinet and the Ministry of Household, and directly approved the money for the officials below." Yan Shifan sat down and looked at Yan Song and asked.

Yan Song didn't speak, he just held a teacup and drank tea, while Yan Shifan stared at his father.

"Donglou, although you are smart, you are still too young. If I give you ten years, the old man believes that you will definitely become a pillar, but now, you can't hold your breath!" Yan Song sat there and looked at Yan Shifan. said.

It has not been a few years since he served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Yan Shifan has been too inflated in recent years. Since he got rid of Zhang Wei, Yan Shifan has been a little bit reluctant to make progress, but has become increasingly arrogant.

"Father?" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song in confusion.

"From Qiu Luan to Ding Rukui, then to Zhang Dayan and Ding Qizhong, in less than a month, we lost four people around us, and Zhao Wenhua was also transferred to Nanjing. In five years, we will not be able to return to Beijing. We should reflect carefully. Reflecting on it." Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said.

Yan Shifan sat there at the moment, looked at Yan Song, and was still a little unconvinced. In terms of means and ability, he was not bad.

"You stretched your hand too long. The emperor has warned the old man. Remember, we are servants to the emperor. If the emperor wants us to live, we will live. If he wants us to die, we will die. Resist? It's impossible. ! At least it is not possible now.

Therefore, you must judge the situation and bear the burden of humiliation. Don't think that if you take down Zhang Jing, everything will be fine. You didn't take down Zhang Jing, but the emperor needs him to fall, you know? "Yan Song sat there, watching Yan Shifan teach.

"Father, what are you trying to say? Yes, my son has relaxed a bit during this time, but now that the emperor has bypassed the cabinet, this is no small matter." Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and said anxiously.

"Then calm down and help my father analyze and analyze what the emperor's actions meant, instead of panicking here." Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan.

When Yan Shifan heard what Yan Song said, he calmed down, and the father and son sat there silently.

After about half a stick of incense, Yan Shifan said: "The emperor wants to regain control of the government, not now hiding behind the scenes, but as if he had just ascended the throne. In addition, he just warned his father."

"That's right, it's good to calm down. You were too complacent before." Yan Song nodded and put down the teacup.

Yan Shifan immediately sat upright.

"The emperor has always been in control of the government, but it is controlled by the cabinet. It is right to warn Dad. You were too complacent before, and you actually reached out to the Jinyiwei next to the emperor. Can the emperor tolerate it?" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said.

"Yes, father, my son is wrong." Yan Shifan lowered his head and nodded.

"We must understand this kind of warning. If we still don't understand it, and continue to do things that disobey the emperor's order, then what awaits our father and son is the old way of Zhang Wei!" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said.

"Yes, what should we do now?" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and asked.

"What do you think?" Yan Song asked Yan Shifan back.

Yan Shifan continued to think for a while and said, "Let the ministers come forward. If the emperor does this, other ministers will definitely be dissatisfied. They don't want the emperor to stand up again."

"Well, the emperor can hide behind our father and son. If there is anything in the court, the old man will do it, and let the old man recite the name, then we will hide behind those ministers now.

Let them jump out. The emperor wants to clean up them, which is more beneficial to our father and son. After cleaning up those who are disobedient, we can arrange for obedient ones! "Yan Song then nodded and said.

"Yes, Dad, the child understands." Yan Shifan nodded, already knowing what to do.

"Reflect on yourself, don't be arrogant, arrogance will bring disaster!" Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan and reminded again.

"Yes, Dad, the child will definitely save three times a day!" Yan Shifan nodded firmly and said.

Then I thought of the matter that the Ministry of Rites came to my house this morning: "By the way, Dad, the Ministry of Rites came to my house this morning and registered our two girls. I heard that it was the emperor's decree. What does the emperor want?"

"I don't know, tomorrow morning, after the old man enters the palace, he will ask about this!" Yan Song shook his head and said.

In this matter, he really didn't know what Jiajing wanted to do?

At this moment, in Xu Jie's mansion, Xu Jie's daughter, Xu Shiyun, was also registered. However, Xu Jie's wife Liang, but she was not worried, and was registered by the Ministry of Rites. If she was sent to the palace, then I suffered for my daughter.

The couple is just such a girl, if they were sent to the palace, wouldn't it be like pushing into the fire pit?

"Master, why is this? This girl is hiding in the yard now, and she is so angry that she has not eaten at noon!" Mrs Liang looked at Xu Jie worriedly and said.

"I don't know, I don't know, there is no news yet! Besides, this dead girl, before so many matchmakers came to the house to ask for a kiss, she just didn't agree, because she had some talent, she wanted to choose her own, now it's good Now, if I send it to the palace, I won't have time to cry." Xu Jie also said angrily.

However, I knew in my heart that it would not be sent to the palace, and I wondered if it was King Yu.

Could it be that the emperor saw that King Yu was weaker and wanted to find a relative to support him, but it didn't make sense. The royal family of Daming was worried that the relative was too strong.

"You're the Minister of Rites, so I can't find out about this?" Mr. Liang said anxiously.

"Where did I go to find out, the emperor's decree was sent directly to the Ministry of Rites, and it was sent this morning. Except for the emperor, no one knew what it meant." Xu Jie said helplessly looking at Liang Shi.

"This, what if it is sent to the palace?" Mr. Liang sat there anxiously.

"Okay, tell that girl, it's probably not going to be sent to the palace, but this winter, you have to obey your parents' arrangement. You can get married when you should, but you can't pick and choose." Xu Jie looked at Liang and said.

"Really?" After hearing this, Mrs Liang looked at Xu Jie in surprise and asked.

"Really! The emperor wants to choose a girl to enter the palace, and he will not choose a fifth-rank or higher. The biggest possibility is to choose a concubine for King Yu." Xu Jie said.

"Ah, this Prince Yu chooses a concubine? This? Is there any hope for our girl?" As soon as Mrs. Liang heard it, she stared at Xu Jie and asked.

"You, confused, you think the princess is so easy to do, and you know that among the emperor's heirs, Prince Yu is the largest. In the future, you may think that the position of the harem master is so easy to do, and the emperor has changed a few queens. ?
How many concubines have died in the harem, just our daughter, go to the harem, her arrogance and pride are hard to live for a year! When Xu Jie heard this, he scolded his wife angrily.

When Mr. Liang heard this, it also made sense, so he sighed and became worried again.

"Okay, don't worry too much. If King Yu chooses a concubine, he won't choose our daughter. King Yu is only 13 years old, and our daughter is seventeen. So much older, can the emperor choose her?" Xu Jie Looking at his wife helplessly, he said.

"That's good, that's good, this dead girl, go and clean her up, I can't stop worrying about her every day!" Liang Shi was relieved at this moment, and then she thought of Xu Shiyun, and wanted to clean up her.
