The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

If the first assistant does not fall, the second assistant will always be the deputy.

Sure enough, Xu Jie's attack was very effective, Zhang Bi's expression changed, and he fell silent.

Xu Jie was even more persuasive and persuasive: "In the cabinet, Yan Song has always been domineering, and he never put you and Xu Zan in his eyes. Now the emperor has made it clear that he wants to break Yan Song's monopoly on the cabinet and break the monopoly of the cabinet. Why don't you do that?" When did you switch to the prince?"

Zhang Bi's heart moved, and he showed a very interested look: "How to say?"

Xu Jie said: "As long as you support the crown prince tomorrow and help us overthrow Yan Song, Yan Song will gradually lose power, and we can support you this time as the first assistant!"

A strange look flashed in Zhang Bi's eyes, but he didn't immediately agree to Xu Jie, and said slowly, "Yan Song has controlled the state affairs for many years, with a deep foundation, how can he be defeated so easily?"

Xu Jie thought that his heart was moved, he laughed and said: "No matter how powerful Yan Song is, the power in his hands is also given by the emperor...Now the emperor wants to support the prince to check and balance him, how could he have the slightest chance?"

Zhang Bi nodded: "You are right! Then the old man will not be polite."

He narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Thinking that Yan Song controlled the cabinet and the government, and tricked me many times, I really have a bitter hatred for him. With such a good opportunity for revenge, it would be a fool not to take action!"

Xu Jie was overjoyed, and said in his heart that with the support of Zhang Bi from the cabinet and Shen Shixing from the Ministry of Rites, there is absolutely no way for Yan Song to escape this time!

When I think about tomorrow, I will stand proudly in front of Yan Song with my toes high and proud, try my best to ridicule Yan Song, sarcasm Yan Song, and avenge the previous revenge, I am so happy.

The blood feud of his mentor Xia Yan, his own personal vendetta, new and old grievances are intertwined, making it difficult for Xu Jie, a calm old fox, to restrain his anger.

However, he still doesn't know that Zhang Bi is actually a member of Yan Song just like Shen Shixing!

……

Just when the princelings were mobilizing and selling votes everywhere, Yan Song didn't go to anyone's house to canvass votes, but returned to Yan's mansion.

In the back hall of the Yan Mansion, a stunning beauty came out, who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Yuanyuan?

With a plain face and bright hands, Chen Yuanyuan gently took Yan Song's arm, and welcomed Yan Song in.

Chen Yuanyuan held a cup of fragrant tea and put it in Yan Song's hands, her beautiful eyes were full of worry: "Yuanyuan begs not to perform on stage again."

Yan Song was taken aback.

"why?"

..

Chapter 418 Taking advantage of the situation [1]

Yan Song looked at Chen Yuanyuan: "Didn't you always pursue the stage and want to promote Kunqu opera? Why don't you want to perform?"

Tears dripped down Chen Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes: "Because Yuanyuan made the master offend the crown prince, and it was very embarrassing, Yuanyuan is willing to give up the Liyuan from now on, and only concentrate on serving~ good master! It's good to be the master's woman quietly."

Yan Song caressed Chen Yuanyuan's hair and said, "What a Yuanyuan, you don't need to worry about me. On the contrary, the master would like to thank you for giving me a chance to punish the prince and Xu Jie."

"But..." Chen Yuanyuan said sadly: "As far as the little girl knows, the emperor is not on the side of the master this time. The situation of the master is very dangerous."

Yan Song laughed loudly: "How do you know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse? How do you know it's a disaster when you win a horse? Don't look at the prince and Xu Jie desperately colluding with cliques and forming cliques for personal gain. Tomorrow, we will see who wins and who loses."

Seeing Yan Song's confidence, Chen Yuanyuan lifted her spirits, and said with a smile: "The little girl goes down and spoons for the master, and sit and watch how the master wins the crown prince and Xu Jie!"

Yan Song smiled slightly, sent Chen Yuanyuan away, and returned to the study.

In the study room, someone was already waiting for him.

Counselor, Feng Ji.

Feng Ji is responsible for handling Yan Song's court politics and is Yan Song's right-hand man.

"My lord, all parties in the court have replied one after another."

"Do they agree to our terms?" Yan Song said casually.

"The leaders of the Donglin Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party all responded to the news, and they all agreed to the Lord's conditions." Feng Ji looked a little puzzled, and hesitated to speak: "The Jin Party is sent by Qiao Gui. Bo also readily agreed."

"Just promise." Yan Song chuckled.

"My lord, I don't understand." Feng Ji smiled wryly: "What kind of conditions did the lord write in his handwritten letter to them? Why did they all readily agree?"

Yan Song said in a long way: "Fengji, the best strategy in the world is not to force others to do things they don't want to do. There are always variables in such a strategy. The best strategy is to take advantage of the situation and follow the trend, so that people feel It’s just to help you, but it can’t offend anyone! It can even make them settle! Of course, no one will refuse such a request.”

The more he said that, the more confused Feng Ji became.

It turned out that on the way back from the palace, Yan Song wrote a personal letter to the Donglin Party, the Qi Party, the Chu Party, and the Jin Party in one go. There were only a few sentences, but they were extremely mysterious.

Not long after, these party leaders who were full of resentment towards Yan Song sent back news one after another, agreeing to Yan Song's conditions.

Feng Ji couldn't imagine what Yan Song wrote to make so many potential political enemies agree to cooperate with him.

Yan Song didn't say anything, just smiled and went back to sleep.

The prince heard from Xu Jie that he was so excited that he could not sleep because of the news that Zhang Bi and Shen Shixing had won a big victory on his behalf.

"Haha~~ Yan Song, just wait!"

In the middle of the night, there was loud laughter in the prince's mansion.

……

……

The next day, at three quarters of the hour.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty lined up outside the Jinshui River in Xiyuan, waiting for the court meeting in the upper hall.

Zhang Bi and Xu Zan arrive.
