Chapter 467 466 Nama’s appointment

Telling King Yu that it was actually for the sake of King An Yu. After all, Jiangnan caused a rebel with tens of thousands of mercenaries, King Yu was also worried, but he was just anxious and had no choice.

In fact, this is the main reason why King Yu supports Yu Dayou so much.

If the Battle of Datong is the foundation and the Battle of Suppressing Zhang Lian's rebels is commanded by Yu Dayou, King Yu will feel more at ease.

After listening to Wei Guangde's report, King Yu rubbed his hands and asked, "The Ministry of War did not say who will be arranged to suppress the thief?"

"No."

Wei Guangde replied.

"It can't be Hu Zongxian personally supervising the army."

King Yu said casually.

"Hu Zongxian should not know the Ministry of War's plan, otherwise he would not report the report. It is recommended to set up a deputy general in Nangan to guard against the Fujian thieves."

Wei Guangde replied immediately.

"Forget it, don't worry about this matter. It's because the Ministry of War is so confident, let's watch it."

King Yu said with some regret that he actually wanted Yu Dayou to make great contributions in the extermination of Zhang Lian's rebels. If he would use it better in the future, he could transfer him to the Nine Borders as a general and station in a town. At least he would not have to worry about the defense of the north.

Just as King Yu and Wei Guangde were talking, Yan Shifan had already analyzed the meaning of Emperor Jiajing's performance this time to Yan Song.

"Dad, why don't you take out Hu Zongxian's memorial and directly recommend Shi Deyu to serve as deputy general of Gannan."

"Do you think Your Majesty will nod?"

"How can we know if we don't try it? The Ministry of War knows to recommend that guy Yu Dayou. What if we don't recommend it?"

The two of them whispered in the room. It was obvious that Yan Song's performance today did not follow Yan Shifan's initial plan, which made him very nervous.

"Father, no matter what his Majesty's attitude is, he has not yet made up his mind to let his father retire. We must take this opportunity to increase Ruzhen's rights as much as possible."

Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and said word by word: "I don't care about that Yu Dayou, a martial artist, it's not worth paying attention to, but if Ruzhen can't control the entire Jiangnan, our Yan family will really have no way out."

"That day, His Majesty was very cautious about that memorial and had no intention of agreeing."

Yan Song looked up at Yan Shifan and said, "I know that it is your idea to add the deputy general of Nangan. I want to attract the attention of Prince Yu's Mansion with this, but I really think that controlling Jiujiang can make those people in Nanjing use it for you?"

"Dad, you have seen the things that the child sent someone to investigate last time. You said that if His Majesty knew about those things, the tricks played by Xu Pengju, Liu Shiyan, and those who used waterways to traffic private salt, how would His Majesty deal with them? The annual income of millions of taels of silver is enough for His Majesty to punish him."

Yan Shifan's eyes showed a ruthless look at this moment, "With this handle in hand, I'm not afraid that they will not listen to us. With Jiangnan, I'm still afraid that Your Majesty will not care about it. Only Your Majesty is afraid, our Yan family will not be in danger."

"I am old after all, and I will still have to go back to Jiangxi to retire."

Yan Song glanced at his son and said, "Even if we can control them for a while, once we return to Jiangxi for the sake of our father, do you think our family can be safe and sound?"

For those warriors, they can do everything, and by that time, you can't imagine what will happen?"

"I will let them know the back-up I keep. If the family makes any mistakes in their hometown, those things will inevitably be sent to His Majesty."

Yan Shifan said fiercely.

"That's a double-edged sword. If you don't use it well, you will push the family into the endless abyss."

Yan Song ignored Yan Shifan's words and shook his head and said, "Instead of threatening them with those things, it is better to let Maoqing continue to make friends with them and continue to provide them with convenience. With these local snakes, as long as they can escape from the capital for their father, they will do their best to protect us for their own benefit."

"But what if the people in the capital are unwilling to let go?"

Yan Shifan immediately retorted: "If you can't control the situation in Jiangnan, then people will be the ones who will be the ones, and I will be the ones."

Yan Shifan said here, and suddenly felt his body cooler. He stopped talking and looked at Yan Song.

At this time, Yan Song's turbid eyes emitted a fierce cold light and looked at him, "Do you think that if you are with the people in Nanjing to assist King Jing, you can really be able to calm down again.

What kind of people in Nanjing are there? Not to mention anything else, can their troops defeat the Jizhen army?"

"Hu Zongxian"

Yan Shifan wanted to argue again, but Yan Song glared back fiercely.

"The people under Ruzhen listened to him and also accepted the money he gave him. The reason was not that he was the governor appointed by the emperor. If he rebelled, those people would kill him, Hu Ruzhen, in the chaos army as soon as possible, and destroy all the evidence.

The warrior you look down on is at the critical moment of life and death, but you can do anything. You underestimate those people too much."

Yan Song said to Yan Shifan, his tone full of regret.

Yan Shifan is very smart, but he just used the wrong place and did something that he did not think about being upright, but liked to use unexpected conspiracies to achieve his goal.

King Jing was obviously exhausted, but he still wanted to go against the will of heaven and change his fate.

"You know Maoqing, the private salt transactions with Nanjing are gradually decreasing. Don't stop them all at once, and don't reduce them too much. You won't be able to catch their handles with these methods."

At this time, Yan Song was still persuading Yan Shifan to give up his plan.

"Father, that's a year's income of one million taels of silver. If Your Majesty knew it, it would be impossible not to be moved."

Yan Shifan still wants to persevere.

"If it were a few years ago, maybe it would be possible, but now it is not possible. What Your Majesty wants is stability."

Speaking of this, Yan Song's eyes flashed with regret, "If it were in the early years, His Majesty would have really taken ruthless measures for so much money, but now it won't happen. His Majesty would not have put the country in turmoil for the sake of money.

Since the time when His Majesty fainted, he has been preparing before that.

Everything is too late. From the people to the local officials, they are still focused on the court. When they come out to make trouble at this time, they just think that they are not dying fast enough."

"How is the Ministry of War planning to deal with the Fujian thieves?"

Yan Shifan was silent for a long time and suddenly asked again.

"Liu Xian, the assistant general of Nanjing, was appointed as the general officer, and Yu Dayou was the deputy. The two of them worked with the governor to cooperate in the fight and attack the thieves. They all listened to the two of them as the decision."

The Ministry of War knew about this plan, only a few people, but Yan Song was the chief minister for many years and buried countless open and secret stakes in the six ministries. Many people were also secretly supported by Yan Song to a high position. This is not something that ordinary people can see through.

"Liu Xian, Yu Dayou."

Yan Shifan murmured, "I said why did Nanjing suddenly add a camp officer and transfer Sichuan general Liu Xian to the camp? At that time, Yang Bo was already prepared."

"You are still thinking about maintaining the current situation. What benefits does this do us?"

Yan Song knew after hearing Yan Shifan's words that his son still wanted to maintain the current chaos in Jiangnan.

Yes, it is indeed the most beneficial for them to maintain their current appearance. At least Hu Zongxian's position can be stabilized, and the capital city has no reason to take action against them, at least for the time being.

However, if Yan Shifan is really allowed to secretly help Zhang Lian and his group, they will be doomed if the incident happens.

Emperor Jiajing would never let their Yan family go. No matter how much friendship he had with the emperor before, it would be of no use at this time.

"Don't think about helping Zhang Lian's group of people. They are thieves, not robbers, and the emperor will not indulge them."

Yan Song warned.

"Father, how could I help the thief?"

Yan Shifan said relaxedly, but he was obviously full of confidence.

Yan Song sighed. He understood that even if Yan Shifan gave in front of him now and agreed, he would still have some small actions after he went down.

"No matter what you do, you must not leave a handle, otherwise it will be difficult to die."

Yan Song could only warn Yan Shifan like this, and he didn't expect that his family would fall into decline when he was old.

No matter what, he assisted Emperor Jiajing for many years, and he had no credit for his hard work. He never made any excuses, and he was not just trying to make a good end.

Emperor Jiajing is such a person. The more you defend yourself, the deeper his hatred will be.

If you don’t say anything, let others talk about you, Emperor Jiajing will miss you instead. He has been helping the emperor with everything for so many years. No matter what, the emperor will not let him be without a chance.

As long as the palace doesn't speak, he and his descendants will not have any major problems. Moreover, he has had private transactions with some people. Then they will help them openly and secretly, and this level will be passed.

However, Yan Shifan obviously didn't want to be so sloppy and still wanted to make trouble.

If you are ten years younger, doing this may be a way.

Looking at Yan Shifan's back as he left, Yan Song could only pray in his heart that Yan Shifan would never leave any handles to be discovered when doing things.

At the beginning, because of the benefits of maritime trade, he intervened in Jiangnan affairs at the instigation of Zhao Wenhua. Now, Yan Song feels a little regretful when he thinks about it.

The same is true for Luo Longwen, who kept instilling huge benefits in Yan Shifan's transaction with Japan, and asked him to write a letter to Hu Zongxian on his back, delaying the army's encirclement and suppressing Japanese pirates and indulging Japanese pirates.

What I fear is that after the suppression of Japanese pirates, Emperor Jiajing would re-invigorate a more severe sea ban, thereby preventing them from sending ships to Japan for trade.

The current coastal chaos is their opportunity to win the chestnut from the fire.

At this moment, two third-rank officials were coming together outside the office of Yang Bo, the Minister of War.

"Can Lord Shangshu be there?"

One of them asked the clerk outside the door.

"The Lord Shangshu is here, so the younger ones will go in and report it."

The clerk said to him with a smile on his face, then turned around and headed into the room.

Soon after, the clerk came out, and the face was still the one who said to the two: "Shangshu invite Lord Ge, Lord Zhang to come in."

"Shouzhi, let's go in."

The man called Lord Ge spoke.
