Yan Song’s counterattack

Yan Shifan was imprisoned and Yan Song was overthrown. In the eyes of many people, Comrade Xu Jie's butt was about to be moved to the throne of chief minister, and the matter had ended successfully.

People who hold this view generally do not understand politics. In this world, everything is negotiable, but as long as interests are involved, they will fall out faster than turning over a book.

The extent of the disagreement and the way it is expressed depend on how much profit there is, whether it is with words or with hands, or with knives and missiles. You know, when you usually go shopping for groceries, you have to quarrel over a few cents, and

In those days when the emperor was not in charge of affairs, the throne of the chief minister was the symbol of the highest power and the greatest benefit. Unless everything was turned upside down, there would be no ghosts in the changes in the world.

Xu Jie knew this, and Yan Song naturally knew it too. Decades of political experience allowed him to quickly recover from shock and begin to gather the strength to fight back. Next, he will use actions to tell his opponents why he can stand in the political arena.

It is no accident that it has survived for twenty years.

Xu Jie, let me show you my true strength. The competition has just begun.

In fact, the reason why Yan Song was able to surpass Yang Tinghe, Guo Xun, Zhang Cong, Xia Yan and others before him and become the most powerful official was not only due to Yan Shifan's intelligence, but also his comrades. Because all along,

Yan Song is not fighting alone.

The name Yan Song does not represent a person, but a force and a community of interests. If I become a doctor, you will become a member of the family; if I become a minister, you will become a doctor. We will make progress and make a fortune together.

Now Xu Jie wants to punish Mr. Yan, what's the point? My wife has just bought jewelry, my son is going to a private school, and I still hope to be promoted. If you, Xu Jie, dare to touch our jobs, I will risk my life for you!

Yan Maoqing, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is one of the above-mentioned people. Since taking refuge with Yan Song, he has done many bad things. It was under his advice that Yang Jisheng was eventually killed. In return, he received a good job in managing the salt administration.

, it was so crazy to make money. Before, Comrade Jiajing only levied a salt tax of 600,000 yuan a year. After he took office, he actually asked for a tax of 1 million. He could not only please the emperor, but also take the opportunity to extort the local government. He was worthy of being a traitor.

.

So when the news of Yan Song's resignation came, he immediately called in Yan's associates to urgently discuss countermeasures. Since Yan Song had retired and returned home, after carefully analyzing the situation, Yan Maoqing decided on the first action plan - to rescue Yan Shifan.

As the think tank of the Yan Party, Yan Shifan plays an irreplaceable role, so the most important thing right now is to fish this man out and let him make an idea, so that everyone can get things done.

But this matter is not easy. Yan Shifan was investigated by the emperor's order and involved serious economic crimes. He lived in the Beijing Model Prison. He could not be solved by fighting and being locked up in the police station and waiting for someone to guarantee.

What's even more troublesome is that this case was assigned by the emperor, and as a rule, it was jointly tried by the three departments of law. The so-called three departments of law refer to the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment. Therefore, if you want to get people, you must deal with these three departments.

No less.

Yan Maoqing is the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment are naturally easy to handle, but Yan Song has fallen and there is no one to speak in the cabinet. How can Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate solve the problem?

This is the general situation faced by Yan Maoqing. It seems really difficult to handle, but the facts tell us that he did it:

After a joint trial by the three judicial departments, Yan Shifan was unanimously found guilty of corruption, and the total amount of money was found to be 800 taels, and he was ordered to be sent to Leizhou to be expelled from the army.

For many years, he was the contractor and chief of the confidential department of the Ministry of Industry. It turned out that he was only worth eight hundred taels, which was really an auspicious number.

Of course, the consequences of the treatment are not unimportant. The so-called Leizhou is today's Leizhou in Guangdong. It was a famous barbaric land at that time. If you go there, you will most likely not be able to come back.

But history tells us that rules are dead, but people are alive. Suspended death can be converted to indefinite, and indefinite can be converted to fixed term. After the fixed period, it can be transferred to medical parole, and the matter will be solved. Yan Shifan is certainly no exception, but his method is relatively simple -

Escape.

This brother had just walked halfway, and he didn't know whether he bribed the escort or made his own decision, and ran back like this. Ordinarily, if he is a fugitive, he must find a relatively remote place to hide, at least no one knows him. But Yan Shifan is really

The talented man was so bold that he actually ran back to Jiangxi and lived in a grand place. He went to the streets to buy groceries and traveled around as usual. It was better to return home in rich clothes than to return home in rich clothes.

The number of major corruption offenders was reduced to 800 taels, and they were sent home after being sent to the army. The power of the Yan Party was indeed beyond Xu Jie's imagination, but when he was about to fight back, the emperor suddenly issued an edict. It was this edict that made things happen again.

Lost control.

After all, they have been old friends for many years. To put it bluntly, even a dog has feelings after being raised for more than 20 years, not to mention that Yan Song is much more energetic than a dog. So after driving Yan Song away, Jiajing felt a

Loneliness soon turned into sympathy, and he ordered:

"Yan Song has retired, and his son has also pleaded guilty. If anyone dares to receive the same memorial as Zou Yinglong in the future, he will be executed immediately!"

Now that Xu Jie was finished, he was ready to take advantage of the situation to pursue and drown Yan Shifan with memorials. Jiajing's order just hit his vital point. In an instant, he lost all means of attack and could only sit there and wait.

With the opponent's counterattack.

The reason why Xu Jie is so obsessed with Yan Shifan is because he knows very well that this is a person with too much destructive energy. He can only be kept in a cage and can never be released into the wild. With this person's IQ, if he is not careful, he will

He would be put to death. And the facts confirmed his expectation. Soon after, Yan Shifan took action, which was not only vicious, but also fatal.

After Yan Song retired, he should have returned to his hometown, but he stopped when passing through Nanchang because he was unwilling to fail, and he knew very well that the matter was not over yet.

The development of things proved Yan Song's intuition. The old Jianghu waited in Nanchang for the emperor's order and his extremely clever son.

In the edict, Yan Song saw hope, and in his son, he found a way to turn defeat into victory.

Yan Shifan was still very calm. He told his father that although things had come to this, and although Xu Jie had become the chief assistant and held great power, he was not indestructible. Everything could be started from scratch, as long as one person broke through - Lan Daoxing.

Yan Shifan's head has only one eye, but he has extremely terrifying wisdom. Under countless appearances, he firmly grasps the essence of things. It is not wrong at all, Lan Daoxing is the key to the problem.

The reason why Jiajing drove Yan Song away was because the gods didn't like him, not Lan Daoxing. So as long as it was proved that the person who wrote on the sand table that day was not a god, the problem would be solved; if Xu Jie could be pulled up by the way, it would mean that he was related to him.

The things are inextricably linked, that is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and death is inevitable.

At that time, Yan Song will be re-employed with honor and continue to seek personal gains and work passively, Party Yan will be in power again, and everything will return to the starting point.

At the beginning of the operation, Yan Song first ordered his comrades in the court to send money to Lan Daoxing, hoping that he would fight back and accuse Xu Jie of planning the incident. After the incident was completed, he would be guaranteed to be promoted and make a fortune.

Lan Daoxing refused.

Since softness is not enough, hardness comes. Yan Song bribed the eunuchs in the palace, instigated them to frame Lan Daoxing and put him in prison. What was even worse was that he also communicated with the jailers and tortured Lan Daoxing.

, tortured him in every possible way, forcing him to frame Xu Jie (it doesn’t seem to be a frame-up).

Lan Daoxing still refused. Although he was beaten black and blue, he never uttered a word.

Not eating anything soft or hard, Yan Song was puzzled. In his opinion, Lan Daoxing was just a charlatan and a Taoist priest who boasted. How could he be so tough?

From a Taoist priest to a steel warrior, it is just because of one thing - faith. In this world, faith is the strongest object. Once you insist on it, it is difficult to shake, and money and beauty are extremely weak in front of it.

.

Lan Daoxing is a Taoist priest, but he believes in Wang Xue. He believes that he can find the real light in this legendary figure's study of light. Therefore, whether it is inducement or coercion, money or whips, he will never accept it.

yield.

This is the power of faith, a force that cannot be shaken by any substance. But Yan Song, who is obsessed with profit, will never understand this.

Lan Daoxing held on, and so did Xu Jie. Yan Song missed a single hit and began to wait again. He believed that as time went by, the emperor would gradually think of him, sympathize with him, and then cooperate with the strict party forces in the DPRK.

, he will definitely be able to make a comeback.

This is a good plan, and in fact it is very possible. The previous edict has partially proved this. What is puzzling is Xu Jie's attitude. Yan Song's large-scale invasion, from beginning to end,

He didn't react at all, let alone use the power in his hands to launch a counterattack, although it was very easy for him.

Politicians are the most stoic animals on the planet. They never act rashly and will launch the final attack only when victory is certain. After the incident between Yan Shifan and Lan Daoxing, Xu Jie has clearly seen Yan Song's true strength.

He knew that although he was the chief minister, Yan Song still had considerable influence on the emperor, and the Yan Party still had strong power in the court.

So now we can only wait, waiting for the opponent's next flaw, and it will definitely appear again.

Therefore, Xu Jie not only paid no attention to Yan Song's attacks, but also often wrote to greet Yan Song in Nanchang, wishing him good health and a few more years of life. He knew clearly that Yan Shifan fled home without permission, and never sent anyone to investigate.

, just treat it as if you don’t know.

What's more, after Xu Jie became the first assistant, his son once said to him, Dad, you have suffered so many grievances and now you have finally come forward, you should seek revenge from Yan Song.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie became furious and cursed:

"Without Mr. Yan, how would I be where I am today? How can you think like this?"

This is true for his son, and even more so for others. Over time, these words reached Yan Song's ears, and he was deeply touched.

He used to keep a low profile when he was the second assistant, but now he has the power and does not add insult to injury. Xu Jie's actions made Yan and his son feel that Xu Shoufu is a kind person. Especially Yan Shifan, it is well known that he came back as a deserter.

, if you want to punish him, there are ready-made tools, but Xu Jie has done nothing about it, so this man who prides himself on being the smartest in the world also sighed sincerely:

"Master Xu, don't cheat on me!"

Yan Shifan is a very smart person, so he is also a little too arrogant. In the past ten years, he has never taken Xu Jie seriously, treating him as a janitor or something like that, bullying him wantonly, and being unreasonable. However,

Xu Jie has endured it. Now Xu Shoufu is still the same as before, with no plans or actions for revenge. It seems that he is ready to continue to endure it.

Yan Shifan was relieved. He seemed to have forgotten his status as a deserter, and openly built a luxurious villa in Jiangxi, preparing to become a local rich man and enjoy the fruits of the corruption of the previous ten years.

However, Yan Shifan, who was too crazy, didn't know that Mr. Xu, who never cheated others, was digging a hole now, a bigger hole than last time. Because the so-called revenge is never a hot dish, but a cold dish.

Yan Shifan didn't understand Xu Jie, but Xu Jie knew Yan Shifan. He knew very well that although this one-eyed genius was extremely smart, he also had a fatal flaw.

It is estimated that because of his physical disability, Yan Shifan has some kind of psychological problem. To put it simply, he is a bit abnormal. Looking at his life, it is not easy to only do bad things and not do good things. Moreover, he is extravagant and lustful, and does things regardless of the occasion.

Depending on the location, you can do whatever you want.

For example, when his mother died, he should have been at home to observe filial piety and help his father with work, but he just hid at home every day and had sex with women, completely ignoring what his father told him. Comrade Yan Song was already over eighty, dizzy and confused.

He couldn't understand, couldn't write Qingci, and was scolded by the emperor several times, which led to his downfall after class.

So from a political point of view, Yan Shifan is a talented staff member, but a poor politician. He doesn't know how to hide and suppress his desires. In this regard, he is very different from his father. He is a deserter.

Whether it was building a villa or building a villa, Xu Jie didn't care, because he believed that the flaw he was waiting for would definitely appear in this person.

Success is also the world's Fan, and failure is the world's Fan. It's fate.

A murder caused by a brick

In Xu Jie's opinion, it is better to let Yan Shifan out than to lock him in a cage. Let him fly and break out, and one day he will cause trouble.

As expected, trouble soon came, but the perpetrator was not Yan Shifan, but another old acquaintance - Luo Longwen.
