The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song said lightly: "Yes, the emperor has far-sighted plans. Of course, he must plan ahead and leave a suitable candidate for the crown prince. Although I follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the chief assistant does not have to be a courtier for the emperor, but if the relationship between the emperor and the chief assistant is not close enough, then Even if the chief assistant is assisting the little emperor, he is still sitting on pins and needles. If the crown prince succeeds, the most suitable candidate for the chief assistant is Gao Gong who grew up with him and has been working as a master in the Eastern Palace!"

(History, after Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne, he couldn't wait to support Gao Gong to the top and became the second assistant. In the second year of Longqing, he successfully squeezed out the first assistant Xu Jie and succeeded him as the first assistant.)

After hearing Yan Song's analysis, everyone felt that Gao Gong's life was so good.Such a promotion all the way is faster than sitting and kicking.

Boom!

A loud bang.

It was already summer, and there were many thunderstorms.

A thunderbolt pierced the sky, and a storm was coming.

The hearts of the people also fell to the bottom.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of the building, and the black cloud is overwhelming the city, wanting to destroy it.

"But Gao Gong's messing around with Jingcha now, I think the emperor is also thinking about it." Yan Song sneered: "So, our best strategy at present is to stand still.... This elder has his own opinion! You all just want to Just obey the order, let me arrange, just go and do things."

"But what should we do? Elder Yan Ge should give us a general principle, so we can know what to do?" Yang Bo couldn't help asking.

A loud bang!

In the sky, a tornado rose upside down and rushed towards the field.

Wherever the tornado passed, the big trees with luxuriant branches and leaves fell down and broke.

But only one locust tree, which germinated late and is still bare, stood firm in the storm.

"Did you see that tree?" Yan Song looked indifferent, pointing to the big tree in the distant field: "The storm is coming, and the big tree with luxuriant branches is easy to break. Because you have more leaves and branches. , the larger the attack area you will encounter. The best way for a big tree is to lose all the leaves, leaving only the bare trunk. Don’t be reluctant. After the storm passes, the branches and leaves will grow back, understand?”

Yang Bo, Li Chunfang, Di Renjie and others were secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song would make such an arrangement?

Fallen leaves?Only the trunk?

Doesn't that say?

Let Gao Gong slash and kill, destroying all his wings?

Want to turn 4.5 into a polished commander?

What the hell kind of tactic is this?

They deliberately asked in detail, who would have thought that Yan Song's smile was inscrutable, and thinking of Yan Song's brilliant record of invincibility against the princelings in the past, they could only choose to believe and go back angrily.

Yan Song looked at their dubious and distant backs, and smiled faintly.

Behind him, Shen Shixing came out from the shadows.

It turned out that the old man had already arrived at Yan Song's gate, but he hid himself and did not meet Yang Bo and others.

His relationship with Yan Song is absolutely confidential, even deeper than that of Di Renjie.

Therefore, although Shen Shixing has done many things for Yan Song, he has always been regarded by the government and the opposition as a neutral faction in the cabinet, impartial, and even the prince has wooed him many times.

Chapter 1270 Yan Song’s Plan [7]

Standing beside Yan Song, Shen Shixing looked at the tornado that uprooted the big trees and houses in the distance, and said with emotion: "The black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it. Old Yan Ge, poisonous snakes in his arms, strong men cut off their wrists, it's easy to say, It's hard to do. I think these allies may not be able to sincerely abandon their wings according to what you want, Mr. Ge, maybe some people will defect to the enemy and rebel, and in order to protect themselves, they will defect to the princelings."

He didn't say who it was, but it was one of Yang Bo and Li Chunfang.Di Renjie will not betray Yan Song.

Yan Song seemed to have expected it, and said with a faint smile: "The reason why the emperor deliberately transferred Bao Zheng, who was more impartial and selfless, but gave the crown prince and Gao Gong, the Jingcha's feathered arrow, was to use the princelings to suppress the elders of the cabinet. After several incidents, the power of the prince is getting weaker and weaker, while the power of the old man is getting stronger, the emperor is a little nervous."

Shen Shixing said with emotion: "Indeed, what the emperor did this time is too obvious. A few days before the start of the Beijing inspection, Bao Zheng was transferred for no reason and Gao Gong was replaced. If you lose the emperor's heart, the princelings will make a comeback."

Yan Song smiled slightly: "Actually, this is very good."

"??" Shen Shixing said in surprise, "Ge Lao's power is about to face a wave of cleansing, and the power he has painstakingly cultivated will be greatly weakened. Why do you still say that?"

Yan Song said indifferently: "I didn't tell them this. Even if I did, they probably wouldn't believe it, or wouldn't understand. But after these years of development, the power of the old man in this pavilion has indeed expanded a lot. But the so-called carrot is coming soon. If I don’t wash the mud, I’ll go to the elders who have gone to this pavilion, good and evil are mixed, and there are many villains who follow the wind. Even the allies have many speculators. This time, raising the butcher’s knife high, is an opportunity for me to lose weight.”

"I want to take advantage of this operation to see clearly who is the true loyal supporter and who is a fool."

"Not only do I want Gao Gong to wield the butcher's knife indiscriminately, but we also have to deliberately pretend to be weak and frightened, give in deliberately, sacrifice some important officials, and let Gao Gong chop it off." Yan Song shrugged calmly. .

"High!" Shen Shixing is also an old fox: "Stay firm on the green hills and let the wind blow from east to west."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The storm in the distance seems to be much smaller.

After seeing off Shen Shixing, Yan Song continued to write the second volume of "The Wealth of Nations".

The wind continued to rain heavily outside, and it got dark early.

Until he saw a small red oil-paper umbrella, a man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat came meandering by lighting an oil lamp.

Yan Song smiled.

Because, that's where the jade man came.

The man in the bamboo hat and coir raincoat entered Yan Song's room and took it off lightly. Under the red oiled paper umbrella, he revealed a face full of embarrassment.

Ouyang knows a little.

She brought an exquisite food box, gently placed it on Yan Song's table, and said coquettishly: "I'm so busy with writing, I forgot to eat, right? I brought fresh oil tea and some snacks I made myself." .”
