"What's wrong with you?! Meicun, you're so grown up, how come you don't have any self-control? Su Zi once said, 'The way to be a general is to control your mind first. You should remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you and don't blink even when a deer appears on your left. Only then can you control advantages and disadvantages and deal with the enemy.' Look at yourself, you're so panicked." Yan Song glanced at Zhao Wenhua and taught him calmly.
"Yes, yes, my godfather is right." Zhao Wenhua nodded repeatedly, admitting his mistake.
"Okay, tell me, what's wrong?" Yan Song nodded slightly and asked.
"Foster father, you will understand after reading this memorial by Yang Ni." Zhao Wenhua said, holding the copy of the memorial in both hands and presenting it to Yan Song.
Yan Song stretched out his bony hand to take the copy of the memorial, unfolded it casually, and fixed his eyes on the copy.
At the beginning, Yan Song was very calm, but as time went on, his calmness gradually disappeared.
Seeing Yang Jisheng's righteous and fearless accusation, as well as the evidence listed on paper, Yan Song, who was the prime minister of the cabinet, couldn't help but feel a sense of panic taking root in his heart.
Of course, he was Yan Song after all. Even though he felt frightened, he looked much calmer than Zhao Wenhua.
"Dad, let me see."
The one-eyed fat man Yan Shifan stepped forward calmly and asked.
"Oh, Donglou boy, come and take a look." Upon hearing this, Yan Song handed the copied memorial in his hand to Yan Shifan as if he was throwing away a hot potato.
Yan Shifan borrowed the manuscript, opened it and read it carefully word by word.
Zhao Wenhua and Yan Song also stared at Yan Shifan, watching him browse the copied memorials.
After reading it from beginning to end, Yan Shifan smiled calmly. He looked up at Yan Song and said with a smile, "Haha, Dad, Yang Jisheng really drafted a good memorial."
Good play?!
Zhao Wenhua's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. He reached out to scratch his ears suspiciously. Did I hear it wrong, or did Brother Donglou say it wrong? Brother Donglou actually said that Yang Jisheng's memorial was a good one? !
Yang Jisheng's memorial was a memorial to impeach my adoptive father. It was a memorial to put my adoptive father to death. How can you say it was a good memorial? !
Zhou Fangzheng, who was standing by, opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this.
"Donglou boy, how can this be a good memorial?" Yan Song was stunned for a moment after hearing what Yan Shifan said, and asked in confusion.
"Haha, Dad, you don't have to worry about Yang Jisheng's memorial. On the contrary, this is a great opportunity." The one-eyed fat man Yan Shifan said with a smile, like a fat version of a fox.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, the wrinkles on Yan Song's face relaxed a little. He had great trust in his son Yan Shifan's talents. He was his rare talent. Ever since he asked Yan Shifan to assist him in handling government affairs, Yan Shifan had never let him down. Now that his son Yan Shifan said not to worry, he must have his reasons, so he could naturally put his mind at ease.
"Brother Donglou, what did you find out?" Zhao Wenhua asked curiously.
"Dad, Brother Meicun, let me first tell you why Yang Jisheng's memorial is not a cause for concern. Haha, first of all, after I read the entire memorial, I have a feeling, I don't know if you feel the same way, I think that in this memorial, Yang Jisheng not only impeached you, Dad, he also impeached our emperor. In the memorial, he impeached the current emperor, haha, do you think he can succeed?" Yan Shifan pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, and explained to Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua.
Yan Song stroked his beard when he heard this. He was so concerned just now that he ignored some minor details. Now after hearing what Yan Shifan said, he began to think about something.
"He impeached the emperor as well?" Zhao Wenhua was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right." Yan Shifan smiled and nodded, unfolded the copy of the memorial in his hand and spread it on the table in front of Yan Song, stretched out his hand and pointed to the chapters of the memorial and said, "Dad, Brother Mei Cun, please look at this part, 'As for earthquakes in various places and changes in the sun and moon, the disasters should all befall the thief Song, but he has been by his side every day without noticing it, and the benevolent warning from the heavens may have been neglected and lonely. Unexpectedly, the emperor is smart and decisive, but he is willing to be deceived by Song. People's words are not believed, and even though the heavens have warned him, he still does not realize it, which has led to this...' In this part, he said that earthquakes, solar and lunar eclipses and other natural disasters should befall his father, and that it was the heavens who wanted to warn the emperor. Haha, but what did he say next? He said that the emperor was willing to be deceived by his father, that the emperor did not listen to people, and that the heavens had warned the emperor, but the emperor did not know how to realize it and was stubborn... Who is the emperor? Isn't he courting his own destruction by saying this?"
Yan Song stroked his beard and nodded. He knew Emperor Jiajing very well. After seeing this sentence, Emperor Jiajing would certainly be furious.
"Hmmmm... Brother Donglou, now that you mention it, it really feels like this. Yang Jisheng is blaming the emperor. He is courting death."
Zhao Wenhua listened to Yan Shifan's story and nodded repeatedly like a praying mantis, with a look of great joy on his face.
"Actually, this one is relatively minor. If you explain it, it can be explained away. But father, brother Mei Cun, please look at this one again. 'The emperor is smart and decisive. Although he knows all the hidden evils of Ni Luan, he has always tolerated Song's obvious evils. If he cannot know, and cannot get rid of it, it is just to save the dignity of the minister, so he tolerates him and waits for him to ruin himself. However, you don't know that Song is like weeds in seedlings and tigers in the city. He is harmful for one day in office. Why can't the emperor bear to give up a traitor and bear the suffering of millions of people? Moreover, you have always suspected that the emperor is suspicious of you and has the intention of separation. If you show mercy to him again, it may cause the disaster of the previous prime minister. All the subjects in the world know that this is absolutely unacceptable.' In this place, Yang Jisheng clearly pointed the finger at the emperor, accusing and lecturing the emperor, and he almost said that the emperor was a criminal protected by your father..."
Yan Shifan smiled slightly, then pointed to a section in the second half of the manuscript of the memorial, nodded vigorously, and said sarcastically.
At this time, a smile appeared on Yan Song's face, and his eyes were full of approval and satisfaction when he looked at Yan Shifan.
"Hmm... Hahaha, Brother Donglou is still a man of great insight. Wenhua, I am not as good as him. Yang Jisheng really didn't disappoint us. He is still as stupid as ever. I really want to knock Yang Jisheng's head open to see what he is thinking. He always makes mistakes and this time he is courting death. Hahaha..."
Zhao Wenhua laughed loudly and bowed to Yan Shifan. He admired Yan Shifan's unique vision and mocked Yang Jisheng from a distance.
There was a burst of laughter in the study, and the tense atmosphere had mostly dissipated.
Zhou Fangzheng, who was sitting in the corner of the study, saw this scene and opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But after thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he closed his mouth. Now was not the time.
