Chapter 484 483 Yan Song arrives in office
"Your Highness, all the sirs, I just received the news that Mr. Yan has gone to Xiyuan."
The report from the eunuch made everyone in the room feel worried again, but Yan Song's holy family is still there, and his meeting with the emperor will change the situation again.
King Yu frowned, but said nothing.
Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng were also sluggishly thinking about whether Emperor Jiajing would modify the punishment because of Yan Song's relationship.
Only Yin Shidan seemed to feel relaxed at this moment, and actually laughed and said, "It's OK, hahaha."
His laughter naturally made him the focus of the people in the room, and everyone's eyes were gathered on him.
"Your Highness, uncle, you are a good student. You have forgotten that Your Majesty wants Master Yan to retire. Logistics is to submit a memorial to thank him. This time he goes to Xiyuan, he will definitely plead for his son, but there is also the grace of His Majesty for letting him retire.
Tsk tsk his son was punished, but Your Majesty still asked him to return home according to the old rules of returning honor, and even gave him rice."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by him, Yin Shidan then smiled and explained.
"What do you mean, Yan Song did not intend to resist, but just wanted to go to Xiyuan to plead for his son? He has actually accepted the order to retire?"
If you want to be promoted, you can only rely on Yan Song.
However, perhaps Yan Song knew that after today, he would never have a chance. If he was not more docile, he would never be able to plead in person if he left here, so he did everything he should do.
Taking retreat as advance is the only choice Yan Song could make at this time.
"Flat."
Yan Song was a Jinshi in the Hongzhi year and served the three emperors, Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing, so he naturally had a clear understanding of this.
After Emperor Jiajing asked two consecutive questions, he stood up and said in a stern tone: "Xuan Cheng has received his kindness, and he has been accustomed to evil and evil, and he has been bullying the emperor and slandering the emperor for a long time.
Retirement is a punishment for some people, but a relief for some people.
After finding out that many people had contact with the Yan Mansion after taking office, they naturally knew what was going on. These were all from the Yan Mansion, and then they naturally got a small notebook.
Yan Song was actually selling miserable at this time, hoping to use his credit and hard work together to exchange for the sympathy of Emperor Jiajing, so that he could take his son Yan Shifan to go south together.
"I thank Your Majesty for your care. I hope to win Your Majesty over his merits and take charge of the cabinet and neglect the discipline of his ministers."
As long as the person is released from the imperial prison by Emperor Jiajing, even if the matter in the capital is exposed, it will not be brought up again.
The Jinyiwei in Nanchang may have taken Yan Hu down by this time, and his son and grandson were not around. Even Yan Song was willing to do nothing.
Yin Shidan continued: "At least, before Hu Zongxian was lifted from military power, Yan Shifan would never be released. No matter how Yan Song pleaded for mercy, it might be just exempted from death."
If you think about it this way, you can really not have to catch him in one go. Although it will make people unwilling, it will have the least impact on the court.
Stability is above everything else.
People's words are terrifying, but how they choose will naturally be clear.
In the officialdom, many people support Xia Yan and many oppose it, but Xia Yan's beheading still made the opponents dissatisfied.
In fact, Yan Song made arrangements based on the overall situation and fought for some key positions for the smooth progress of his own governance, but these could actually be achieved with the acquiesce of Emperor Jiajing.
It’s okay to say Dali Temple, but the Ministry of Justice can also say something, but the Censorate is a little difficult to deal with.
After all, Zou Yinglong's impeachment almost wrote down all Yan Shifan's crimes. If he continues to pursue the matter, it is not the Yan family's problem, but the emperor.
At this time, Yan Song was also frightened when he heard Emperor Jiajing's words in such eyes and knew that he could not force it.
Officials are not that easy to be.
As for whether someone will copy Zou Yinglong’s memorial and continue to impeach and want to hold him accountable?
The matter of picking up people is targeted at the former family of the prime minister, Yan Song believes that no one will do it.
Indeed, he took Yan Shifan and locked him up in the imperial prison. Even if Yan Song went south to return home, he would not have caused any trouble, and his son was still locked in the prison.
Knowing that even if Yan Song pleaded for mercy in front of Emperor Jiajing, Yan Shifan would not be released, and the ending of the Yan family's fall would not change, so naturally Zhang Juzheng and Wei Guangde were not worried much.
Zhang Juzheng asked with a frown.
This is the reason why the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty dared to challenge the emperor. Xia Yan was not a rebel, but just an official who was greedy for power, but his ability was obvious to all. At least Emperor Jiajing felt many times that the cabinet could not be without Xia Yan.
Most of the opponents were caused by the deprivation of rights by Xia Yan's party, which caused his own interests to be damaged. Naturally, he stood on his opposite side. He might not think that Xia Yan was not capable, but just because Xia Yan touched their interests.
I have been thinking of you for more than twenty years of hard work and diligent in the king's affairs, so I have added advantages, so why should I save you from evil children?"
As the saying goes, "People have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions." In fact, different people have different views on the same issue from different standpoints or angles.
Emperor Jiajing did not read the two memorials, so he naturally knew what was written.
"Your Majesty, everything is a fault of the poor family management. The sins of the world are serious. Please punish your Majesty heavily to atone for your sins."
Wei Guangde suddenly said.
Emperor Jiajing said with some emotion, as if all his claims were considered for Yan Song.
Because of this, Yan Song was gradually rejected by the civil servant group, especially because he was not inferior to Xia Yan in seizing power, so he finally stood opposite to most officials.
Even though they knew that Xia Yan's death had a close relationship with Yan Song and Lu Bing, they figured it out over time. It was Yan and Lu and the other two had made a desperate move, although the order was still Emperor Jiajing.
The Justice Department, that is the Three Justice Departments, which are handled by the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Dali Temple.
"Yan Aiqing has been diligent in government affairs over the years and has been sharing my worries. You have said before that you wanted to return to your hometown to retire. At that time, I really couldn't do without my Aiqing's assistance, which delayed many years.
As for Yan Shifan's friends, in his opinion, he just wanted to take advantage of the situation. If he resigned and took his son south, he would naturally no longer contact them.
The so-called "treats fall and money fall, and as long as they leave their jobs, these people will be almost independent and do their own affairs, which will not arouse the fear of Emperor Jiajing. What's more, most of the senior executives have been replaced in recent years, and many of the people he has used either retired or punished, and are no longer the same as before.
Until now, in the Three Fa Departments, the Yan family can still control the Dali Temple. The Ministry of Justice has been taken down by him in the past, so his connections are still there.
Although there are many subordinates and can do a lot of things, Yan Shifan also has a clear understanding of these people.
After taking Hu Zongxian, Yan Shifan's punishment should be released. Even if they really release the person at this time, they will not cause any storm.
Go home to retire and take care of yourself, and it will be fine if you are in your 80s enjoy your old age.
“That’s right.”
To be honest, they were really afraid that Yan Song would cry in front of Emperor Jiajing and make a comeback.
In a daze, Yan Song withdrew from Yuxi Palace.
In such an environment, if others are willing to vote under his sect as a horseman, they will naturally stand opposite to most people.
However, most people who have real materials choose to take the right path, so they naturally will not have anything to do with the Yan family. It is not that they don’t want to, but that they are concerned about their face and have to spend time in the Shilin.
Hearing Yin Shidan's words, Zhang Juzheng suddenly understood.
The punishment cannot be punished by the scholars and officials.
It is tantamount to letting Yan Song return to Jiangxi easily, and the best solution to the problem is to take down Yan Song and his son, so that they can relieve their worries.
Even if Emperor Jiajing wanted them to leave the court, he would have to resist stubbornly.
Even if Tan Lun took away a group of troops because of the encirclement and suppression of Fujian's rebels, his strength should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Yan Song thought that the Yan Party that the outside world called was actually on the surface, so Emperor Jiajing naturally knew who there was?
He knew that Yan Shifan was selling official positions and titles. Whether it was Wu Peng or Ouyang Bi who entered the Ministry of Personnel, he sometimes hinted at some point, but in his opinion, they were all irrelevant positions, and there was just a deal between them.
Yan Song didn't know these, but Jinyiwei and Dongchang would not ignore them.
Although it was performing, the mood at this moment was real.
Emperor Jiajing wanted to take care of Yan Shifan, but he could only say that his son must have really evil the emperor, so he had to kowtow and apologize.
This is actually just about taking what you want and will not have any impact on the government.
"Then, Yan Shifan would never be able to come out of the imperial prison no matter what."
"The state has the laws of the state, and the crimes of the vassal state shall be decided by the court."
After Yan Song finished speaking, he looked at Yan Song who was crawling on the ground and shook his head gently and said, "What did Shifan do? I have already learned through the memorial and asked the factory guards to verify it. Do you know where the person was found?
Are you really unaware of these things?"
Just because of their political disagreement, they were beheaded by Emperor Jiajing, which made them do what they did.
When others give money, they will give some preferential treatment to allow them to take office in advance if they meet the conditions of fulfillment.
Emperor Jiajing sat on the imperial throne, looked at Yan Song kneeling, and spoke.
When asked about Xia Yan's punishment, he not only lost all the face of the court, but also made many knowledgeable people feel disappointed.
When he got inside, he knelt down and saluted Emperor Jiajing.
My dear is 80 years old. The ordinary people have already enjoyed their old age. But I am still working hard for state affairs. I can't bear it, so I have this decree."
If you want to make a contribution, you can apologize and ask for heavy punishment. I think the emperor should be able to recite a little bit of incense.
But in the Censorate, the Zuodu Censor Pan En is now the man of Xu Jie.
At this time, Emperor Jiajing's voice came into Yan Song's ears, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
In fact, Emperor Jiajing's heart was still a little softened when he entered the door, but when he thought of some concerns, he knew that he had to be honest and at least he could not be ruthless before solving hidden dangers.
In the teachings Xu Jie gave him, Yan Song and Yan Shifan have always been described as a very powerful character. They are greedy for money and power, and in theory they will not give up their rights easily.
As for whether they gave money to the Yan family and whether they would scrape the land and get the money back after taking office, he no longer considered it. He would punish the severe punishment and punish the law, and then break the law.
