Chapter 102: Nizi

Although it is between father and son, the position is not completely consistent.

Yan Song owned some things, not Yan Shifan. However, what Yan Song owned was something that Yan Shifan could use. This made Yan Shifan essentially a poor thing in the Ming Dynasty. If he was not from a Jinshi, he would probably never be able to reach the position of the Six Ministers in his lifetime. Even the second-level minister had no points.

If the Ming Dynasty was sorted according to power, even if it was ranked above 200, there would be no name Yan Shifan.

But in fact, Yan Shifan now holds the power given to him by Yan Song. He can mobilize power and participate in political events that are the top-level struggles of the Ming Dynasty. Yan Shifan is obsessed with this feeling and even feels that these are not their fathers, but their own.

I definitely don't want to lose these things.

Yan Song is nearly eighty years old and has not had much time left.

Yan Shifan was a little older than Zhou Mengchen. Now he was only about forty years old, and he still had a lot of time. He was absolutely reluctant to lose the power in his hands because Yan Song was old. Power was like a crow to Yan Shifan. He felt that he could not lose it. Once he lost his power, he felt that life was worse than death. When he thought of the ministers who had bowed their heads in front of him, looking down at him in the future, and even looking at him with contempt, he felt trembling and breathless.

Yan Song followed the emperor's mind and did everything. Naturally, he could win the emperor's favor. However, Yan Shifan could not. If Yan Shifan wanted to have the power of the Ming Dynasty, he could only have extraordinary means and could not take the right path.

Whether it is the emperor or the supreme leader, there is a mysterious sense of sacredness for the people, but for the people around them, there is no such sense of sacredness.

Speaking of which, Yan Shifan is not far from Jiajing. Although there are not many meetings, Yan Shifan has participated in all the government affairs of Yan Song. A considerable number of all the instructions issued by Jiajing were connected by Yan Shifan. Even as Yan Song's health was ineffective, the number became more and more.

No matter how he denies Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan is a smart person. His intelligence complements Jiajing's intelligence, and they are both skillful but unjust.

It is extremely clever in terms of means. However, in principle, or in guidance, there are various deviations.

Yan Shifan's intention to the layout of the court was analyzed thoroughly and ate tightly. He actually saw that Jiajing's political control over the foreign dynasty became increasingly weak. It can be said that it was precisely because Yan Shifan saw this trend that the Beijing Chase took action this year and swept the capital for a while, only Yan Duzun.

Yan Shifan pursues that the Yan family will always maintain wealth and honor, at least Yan Shifan will have this situation in his entire life, rather than returning to the countryside in shame to live a hard life.

So how can Yan Shifan keep his current power forever? Even after Yan Song’s death, will he not change?

Then we must change our previous attitude towards Jiajing and let Jiajing see that there is no Yan family in the world, no Yan party, no Yan Shifan, no Emperor's affairs, the Zhu family, and the Yan family. Only in this way can the Yan family maintain wealth forever.

It can be said that Jiajing's disgust towards Yan Shifan was not without reason. Yan Shifan had never suffered any setbacks in his life. It was too smooth, which made him feel lawless and arrogant.

Yan Shifan said: "Old man is not good. In this way, who will listen to us?"

Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said, "The officialdom is not only about advancing, but also about retreating."

"Si Geng?" Yan Shifan laughed wildly and said with a little crazy point: "Old man, why don't you let me die if you do this. Can't you think about me? What kind of person is Your Majesty? How many people have you offended in the court? When will Your Majesty hate you? What is the fate of our family? Will Xu Jie let you go, or will Zhou Mengchen let you go, have you forgotten Xia Yan or Zeng Xian? Do you also want my family to be like the Xia family?"

Yan Song looked at his son and felt a pain in his heart. He didn't know that his son would become like this now. Doesn't he understand? With his ability, he can control the court. His method of controlling the outside court to coerce Jiajing was simply a way to seek death, and it was absolutely impossible to succeed.

Because the Ming system was doomed to be something that the emperor could be unreasonable.

Furthermore, Yan Song also had self-knowledge. There is a possibility of whether the emperor could be undermined by the Ming Dynasty court, but it was not something Yan Song could do. The reason is very simple. If you want to undermine the emperor, you must be able to unite the forces of the Shilin. But Yan Song knew very well that the things he did were actually not popular. His reputation among the Shilin was not terrible, but it was definitely not nice. The foundation was different, and the things he could do were different. Qingliu's power seemed to be very empty, but it was actually very powerful, which represented the power to manipulate public opinion.

Yan Shifan's approach was very contradictory. Because when he was on behalf of the Yan Party, he actually acted under the power of the emperor. Therefore, Yan Shifan despised Qingliu very much. He was definitely a group of useless literati who could only bark. On the other hand, because of his understanding of the emperor, he also despised the emperor, and felt that if that was the case, I could do it.

Only when he was so arrogant did he want to control the outer court and coerce the inner court.

Yan Song could already hear from Yan Shifan's tone that Yan Shifan's will was unconvincing. Yan Song endured the pain in his heart and said, "I really regret it. I should learn from Xu Jie to bring you to Beijing and leave my son in my hometown."

"Yes." Yan Shifan raised his head and said, "Why don't you regret it? You gave birth to me and killed me at that time. Isn't there no more trouble? Why don't you just go to the palace? This is not your Majesty who can serve you without worries."

Yan Song was furious and his face turned red, but he didn't know if he was angry or breathless. Yan Song never meant to talk to Yan Shifan again, and a word broke out from his teeth: "Get out."

Yan Shifan shook his sleeves and really left.

Yan Song became even more angry and said, "Come back."

Yan Shifan did not come back, so he could only turn his back to Yan Song and said, "Is there anything else?"

Yan Song's tone was a little deeper and said, "No matter what you think, Zhou Mengchen, you can't move now. If you move him, I will move you."

Yan Shifan heard that the old man was serious. He suddenly felt like a big stone was pressed down in his heart. He suddenly didn't dare to talk back. He said, "I understand." Then he left hurriedly.

Yan Song closed his eyes and enjoyed the maid's service. Suddenly, he called a manager. He pointed at the maids and understood the affairs. A few big men came over and covered the maids' mouths and took them down. No one had seen these people in the Yan Mansion since then. A few other maids came over to serve him. Wearing the same clothes, it seemed that nothing had happened.

For Yan Song, this is an ordinary thing, who told them to hear something they shouldn't have heard? He didn't even know that he was in his heart.

Yan Song felt very uncomfortable at this moment, and he said to himself: "I have done too many bad things in my life. Is God destined to have me lose my son and grandson?"

Yan Song naturally knew that Yan Shifan's actions were futile and even allowed the Yan family to perish at an accelerated speed. But he actually had no other way. He naturally understood what kind of person Jiajing was. It was considered light to say that he was mean and ruthless. Yan Song was useful for one day and favored the Yan family one day. Even if the Yan family did something extraordinary, it could be forgiven. However, once the Yan family was useless, all the favors Jiajing would take back the Yan family.

What should the Yan family do then? What should Yan Shifan do?

Yan Song had no choice.

Destiny is just a beginning, end, end, and end. Who can really last forever? No one can? It would be great if Yan Song could protect his glory and favor for the rest of his life. How could he control what happened after his death?

But how can you really not worry about it?
