prosperous age

Chapter 205 204 What should the name be changed?
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Guangde followed Weng Pu and led the troops to Huairou, which was closer to the front line, and the speed of getting news was naturally faster.

On the way, Wei Guangde was still thinking about what he had considered last night. If Weng Pu insisted on going to Yanqing Prefecture in Huairou, would he apply to stay in the pass instead of going to Yanqing Prefecture on the grounds that he needed to strengthen the defense around Miyun? He continued to inspect the pass of Miyun's defense zone.

The reason is, of course, if it is false, it is true, and if it is true, it is false. It is necessary to prevent the IDA Department from bluffing again and breaking through the Great Wall to threaten the capital again.

Beijing.

A sedan chair carried by four people stopped in front of a big house, an old man tremblingly got off the sedan chair under the attentive service of his servants, and walked into the gate.

The old man had gray hair, wrinkled face, and was very old. He staggered through the lobby and went directly to the backyard to rest.

When passing by a flower hall near the backyard, I heard that the hall was very lively, many people were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing inside, and there were also the charming laughter of a woman from time to time.

The old man just glanced there, then shook his slightly lowered head again, and continued to walk forward, but the voices in the hall still reached his ears.

"Hahaha, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Yifu ran twice, and his words were pleasant to my ear, I wouldn't want to fool them, or anything, I thought it would be a big deal for me to be a prince, why don't I just obediently give me money, hahaha."

"In this world, there is really no money that brother Donglou dare not accept, haha"

"What is this, don't talk about King Yu, even His Royal Highness King Jing still has to rely on Brother Donglou's support everywhere, otherwise he should have left the capital to go to Anlu, no, he should be called Chengtian Mansion now .”

Hearing that the people in the flower hall were getting more and more outrageous, the old man just frowned slightly, and quickened his pace into the backyard.

After sitting down on the armchair in the hall in the backyard, he told a servant: "Go and call the young master, I have something to ask him."

This person is naturally Yan Song and Yan Weizhong. When passing by the flower hall, he heard the conversation inside, and he guessed it, but he never expected that his son would be so courageous, and the people around him would dare to say anything Say.

The current Emperor Jiajing has two sons, King Yu and King Jing, and one of them must be in that position. It’s fine for those people to talk nonsense, but how smart his son is usually, he is also confused.

Well, now he even dares to accept the money from King Yu.

Why does King Yu give money? Does he not know?
He really didn't know about this before, and he asked someone to ask about it later, but there was no result.

It was also because there were no results, so he didn't dare to intervene. If he knew who released it, it would be easy.

Unexpectedly, his son actually reached out for those yellow and white things. Listening to what they said, he made it happen?
Not long after, Yan Shifan walked in with his slightly obese body shaking. Seeing his father leaning on the chair, he hurriedly gave him a wink, and immediately a maid brought a cup of tea.

Yan Shifan took the tea, walked over with a smile on his face, put it on the tea table in front of his father, and whispered, "Father, you use tea."

"You all go down."

Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan, and said to the others in the room.

When everyone left the room, Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said, "Donglou, did you take the money from Prince Yu's Mansion?"

"Ok?"

Yan Shifan had just come from the banquet, and along the way he heard that his father was calling him over when he returned to the house. He didn't say anything, but his expression was not very good, and he knew that what he did would definitely offend his father , I just didn't expect that what my father said was actually this.

Surprised, Yan Shifan smiled and said: "Father, I also think Yuwang's mansion is very pitiful. It has not received a reward for almost three years, so I asked someone to talk to the Ministry of Households."

"Did you do something good?"

Yan Songxu looked at Yan Shifan with cloudy eyes.

"Of course it's a good thing. Help King Yu. Isn't it that those poor people are clamoring for King Yu to succeed him as the crown prince? I think it's not good for Laohe to be unfamiliar with that side, so I just try to help and see if the Ministry of Household Affairs can accommodate me." Down."

Yan Shifan licked his face and said.

"Fart, tell the truth, did you and King Jing make up the matter of withholding the salary and rewards of King Yu's mansion?"

Yan Song's face was already very gloomy at this moment, and his tone was very severe.

"No, my son was never involved in this matter."

Yan Shifan hurriedly explained.

"Then you still dare to intervene in this matter? Have you thought about the consequences?"

When Yan Song heard that his son did not do this, he became even more worried, and shouted harshly, then felt his throat dry, and subconsciously lowered his head and coughed twice.

Yan Shifan listened to his father's words, rolled his eyes inadvertently, and then carefully said: "Although King Jing and I did not do this, I heard that it may have been done by Sun Yingkui or Han Shiying. Hand, you know that year, the household department changed two ministers in just a few months, and it is hard to determine who gave the order."

"Really? Why did they do that?"

Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and asked.

Yan Shifan hurriedly picked up the tea on the coffee table and handed it over. Yan Song took the tea and took a sip before putting it down.

"Perhaps Prince Yu's Mansion offended them somewhere, so you should be disgusted with them before you leave."

Yan Shifan said casually and perfunctorily.

"Are you sure one of the two of them did this?"

Yan Song is not old-fashioned yet, he is still a little disbelieving.

"How dare a son lie to his father, it's all the truth."

Yan Shifan hurriedly laughed.

In this family, there is nothing more important than Yan Song. The family can have the current aura, and it all depends on the power of the old chief assistant.

Don't look at him being honored as Xiao Ge Lao, but Xiao Ge Lao is not a real cabinet minister, what a fart.

As long as the father becomes an official or something, the power of his family will disappear immediately, and he really can't accomplish those things just by relying on his title of left servant.

Therefore, Yan Shifan treated Yan Song like a good baby, and did not dare to disobey him at all.

Of course, this is only in front of the face, and it depends on the situation behind the scenes.

"You are a smart person, and I have nothing to teach you, but you have to understand, what makes the family have the current situation, can King Jing belittle it casually?"

Yan Song continued.

"What Dad said is that when the son returns home, he will scold people and tell them not to say that again."

Yan Shifan hastily responded.

"Over at King Yu's mansion, you return the money, and you can think about what you want to say. You can't offend it. It's just that those who deserve to be rewarded still have to be rewarded, including King Jing. Even if you are close, you must be honest outside. mind."

Yan Song continued to order, and began to teach his son how to face the second king.

"Yes, yes, I know."

Yan Shifan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Don't be duplicity. We can't figure out what that person is thinking, so don't offend both sides. We should make friends with each other. That person may not want us to get closer to one of the princes."

Yan Song continued.

"I understand this. Our Yan family only recognizes His Majesty, and we don't recognize anyone else, even his own son."

Yan Shifan hastily expressed his opinion again, he and his father are in the same mind, and they have no second thoughts about that one.

"This matter is always weird. It is impossible for His Majesty not to know about it. Otherwise, Lu Wenfu has neglected his duty. His Majesty has not acted. If you dare to intervene, where is the cleverness of the past gone?"

Yan Song cursed, hating iron for being weak.

"Perhaps His Majesty is waiting for King Yu to ask for the vassal."

At this time, Yan Shifan spoke out about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

"If so, would you still reach out for silver?"

Yan Song's lungs exploded suddenly, his eyes glared at him angrily.

Yan Shifan knew that he had said something wrong just now, so naturally he didn't dare to answer.

"Perhaps Your Majesty really doesn't like King Yu, but you have to be respectful when meeting each other. Don't be arrogant when you meet Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin on weekdays. I've been keeping a low profile for decades. Why haven't you learned that?" A tiny bit."

Yan Song was a little tired after going back to the mansion for a long time. Before the border customs urgently reported to Beijing, the Ministry of Defense broke through the Great Wall and entered Yanqing. In a short period of time, the court was in a hurry. He had already stayed in the cabinet for a few days. Dealing with the memorials from various newspapers, I dare not delay for a moment.

"Father, when you come back, has the Ministry of Antiquity withdrew from the Great Wall?"

Yan Shifan saw that his father's temper seemed to be calming down now, so he asked.

Yan Song shook his head, "I'm in, it's not so easy to get out."

"Then what order did the cabinet issue to go out?"

Yan Shifan said suspiciously, even if the old man was exhausted, he would go home and rest only after he had dealt with the affairs of the court due to his temper.

"After discussing for two days, the order to mobilize Xuanda's reinforcements has been issued. Yanqing's side will guard the wall and defend the enemy from outside the Great Wall. It is enough to send Xuanda David to attack and repel the Tartars as soon as possible."

As for Prince Yu's mansion, the people in the mansion are all beaming at this time. The people who went to the household department this morning have already returned, and brought back a few heavy boxes. Everyone knows that they are filled with silver.

And in the back hall of the palace, King Yu Zhu Zaixi was rubbing his hands excitedly. Finally, the predicament of the palace was relieved. Tens of thousands of taels of silver went into the treasury, and he could live a good life again.

Before, because he could only receive a little prince's salary intermittently for two consecutive years, it was not enough for the luxurious life he was used to.

As a last resort, the prince can only suppress it, try to reduce unnecessary expenses and save a little money, except for the expenses of the princess and the little highness, the expenditure of the palace has been suppressed to the extreme.

"Fortunately, it's finally here."

King Yu was in a good mood at the moment, sitting on the upper chair with a smile and said to Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhen.

"Yeah, it's finally getting better."

Chen Yiqin answered the words with a smile, and Yin Shizhen also said with emotion: "If I knew it, I would have done it earlier, and it wouldn't have dragged on for such a long time."

Only Gao Gong on one side frowned and thought for a while while being happy.

But at this time, everyone was in a good mood. King Yu had already ordered someone to hold a banquet, and the palace hadn't been organized like this for a long time.

"Your Highness, please also prepare two thousand and five hundred taels of silver. When Guangde returns to Beijing on this business trip, we will send the silver back."

Gao Gong spoke to Yu Wang at this time.

"Didn't you borrow 2000 taels of silver?"

King Yu felt a little awkward when he heard Gao Gong say to return Wei Guangde two thousand five hundred taels of silver.

I had just been extorted 2000 taels by Yan Shifan, why would I want to extort 500 taels from Wei Guangde? Only Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhen on one side thought about it, and then nodded imperceptibly.

"Borrowing money will naturally have to be repaid, and there should be interest."

Gao Gong said, but after noticing that King Yu seemed to be opening his mouth to speak, he immediately added: "Although we didn't talk about the interest with Guangde when we borrowed the money, I think Guangde didn't expect to be sent a foreigner at that time. , it will delay for an unknown amount of time."

When he said that Wei Guangde was sent abroad, Gao Gong's tone of voice became a little bit more serious. Obviously, there was a deep meaning in his words, and he was reminding King Yu.

King Yu is not stupid, although sometimes he seems a bit indecisive, but he still understands Gao Gong's meaning.

"Okay, I'll give you 500 taels back."

King Yu didn't insist anymore, as long as he could receive the annual salary and yearly gift in the future, he would not be short of those hundreds of taels of silver, and it was not a bad business to pay a new star in the court.

"Speaking of which, this Wei Guangde does not know what kind of blessing he has cultivated, and is so valued by His Majesty."

Chen Yiqin sighed and shook his head with a smile.

"Yeah, he is only 17 years old, not as young as the weak crown. I thought he would have to be [-] to be appointed. I really didn't expect it."

Yin Shizhen also sighed with emotion, at this age, he was still reading books at home and studying at home, unlike that guy, who has already become an official in the court, and he still has a bright future.

"I heard that Chen Deyan's errands to Shanghe were messed up this time, and I don't know what will happen when he comes back."

Chen Yiqin said regretfully at this time.

"Maybe it will be released. After all, it is overdue due to illness. Alas, it is also a pity for a champion."

Yin Shizheng answered.

"I heard that he was supposed to be promoted to go to Taichang Temple for a tour. It's a pity, but anyway, he is indeed overdue for the canonization of King Kangshun, and he should be treated according to the system."

When King Yu heard them mention Chen Jin, he became a little interested, so he said.

"The seat is vacant, but he doesn't have the luck to take that seat, and he doesn't know who will be cheaper? Tell me, will Wei Guangde take the opportunity at that time?"

Gao Gong suddenly interjected at this moment.

"It's not good, it's not good, with the temper of the previous one, anything is possible."

Both King Yu and Chen Yiqin were startled by Gao Gong's guess, and it was Yin Shizhen who shook his head when he answered.

"If that's the case, I can't turn back and I have to consider changing my name to my kid. 'Shangde is like a valley, Dabai is like humiliation, Guangde is not enough, Jiande is like stealing, quality is like good', you say I should give my kid Is it better to change to 'Shangde' or 'Jiande'?"

Chen Yiqin suddenly said with a smile.

Before Wei Guangde was suddenly promoted by Emperor Jiajing, he was appointed an official without leaving the hall, but others were envious, especially the former Shuji scholars of the Imperial Academy.

Then, it is natural to guess how Wei Guangde and He De will be valued by the present, and then naturally there will be various guesses.
