Hour Yongfang, Yan Mansion.

The sound of silk and bamboo on the edge of the lake finally stopped, and Yan Shifan, who was wearing filial piety clothes, walked back and forth in the hall, anxious like an ant on a hot pit. Originally, he was thinking about returning to the cabinet after the end of the filial piety period, but he never thought of such an accident.

This time is different from before, the target of impeachment is no longer his father, but the finger is pointed at him Yan Shifan. But at this critical moment, the Holy One is leaving the music behind.

If you keep holding on to the music, it won't hurt, but the emperor will undoubtedly reveal a signal to the outside world that the emperor wants to take him down Yan Shifan, and at the same time replace Yan Song.

It was only at this time that he came to his senses.

Although his Yan family is in power, and he dominates the fate of many officials, his power comes from the grace of the saints. Once the emperor's holy family is gone, then his Yan family is destined to decline.

Now the emperor wants to take down his father, and even punish him Yan Shifan, if they are not ready to break the net, they don't seem to have too many chips in their hands.

"Young master, the master is back!"

A servant hurried in and told him the news.

Yan Shifan used to hate his father coming back to disturb his drinking and entertainment, but now he was anxious, and walked directly towards his father's house, wanting to know the latest movements in the palace.

If Daddy can bring back the good news, maybe he will bring back the book directly, and the matter will be sunny after the rain.

Yan Song returned from Xiyuan in a sedan chair, which was actually not easy on the way, and today's sun was unusually hot, which made him look sick.

In this era of sixty years old, when even emperors who lived past forty years old were rare, eighty-three-year-old people could be equated with centenarians in later generations.

Yan Song hid on the bamboo chair and rested for a while, then took another sip of tea ginseng, and the whole person regained some of his spirit. I just remembered what happened today, and I immediately felt a sense of loss in my heart.

Although he had guessed that there would be such a day, it came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

"Dad, why did you come back all of a sudden? The emperor is now withholding the impeachment note against our father and son, what does this mean? Yan Shifan walked straight into the study, looked at his father lying on the bamboo chair, and immediately asked.

Yan Song lay on the bamboo chair, raised his eyes to look at his son who came in in a hurry, and immediately corrected, "That note is to impeach you, not your father!" ”

His voice was hoarse, and his words were clear, but he couldn't hide his old age. The years are ruthless, and this old Shousuke, who leans towards the government and the opposition, seems to be only skinny and bones.

Yan Shifan's clever trick was ineffective, but he continued without the slightest embarrassment, "Dad, this impeachment of me is not equivalent to impeaching you, this is obviously the drunkard's intention not to drink!" ”

The housekeeper Yan Nian was standing next to him, knowing that this was true. Although Yan Shifan offended others, he did not form a real conflict of interest with others, and the actual direction of the song was still Yan Song.

"If it weren't for the fact that you didn't know how to inspect and caught so many tricks on people, why would things be like this!" Yan Song handed the teacup to Yan Nian next to him, and reprimanded in a hoarse voice.

Yan Shifan knew that he was wrong, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Dad, what's the use of you talking about this now, you have to think of a way to let the emperor open up to us!" ”

Although the matter was caused by the supervision of Chen Wei's performance, the key to the problem is the emperor's attitude, once the emperor chooses to continue to favor them, then all the problems will be solved.

Yan Song, who was lying on the bamboo chair, sighed lightly, slowly shook his head and said, "This time, the emperor doesn't plan to protect us anymore, and your father's position as the first assistant can be regarded as the end!" ”

"Dad, what's going on?" Yan Shifan sighed secretly in his heart, and immediately asked seriously.

Yan Nian put the ginseng tea away, and looked at Yan Song in surprise. Yan Fu has experienced many winds and waves over the years, but he has never seen the master so depressed, and the dare to love thing is really irreparable.

Yan Song seemed to be even older, his cloudy eyes looked at Yan Shifan, and said earnestly, "After learning the news today, I wanted to go to the emperor to ask for guilt, but the emperor didn't see me, so Huang Jin came out and told me to go home and teach my children and grandchildren." ”

In essence, this is not the first time that the Holy One has refused to see him, but it is usually more tactful. It's just that this time he no longer prevaricated, but directly asked him to "go home", which undoubtedly revealed a very strong signal.

He has served the emperor for more than 20 years, and he directly regards Xiyuan as his home, how can he not know that the emperor has already arisen the intention of replacing him. It's just that with the affection of the monarch and the minister, Jiajing is also difficult to say, and he is also pretending to be confused.

"He is really ruthless and unrighteous, haven't you forgotten your kindness in serving him for more than 20 years?" Yan Shifan was furious in his chest, gritting his teeth and accusing.

Yan Song suddenly changed color, immediately straightened up from the bamboo chair, and reprimanded his son loudly, "Yan Shifan, if you don't want the Yan family to be raided, you will continue to shout like this!" ”

Although he is old, he still understands the reason why the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it. If you don't know how to keep a low profile now, these words will definitely make a big fuss for people, and in the end, you will have to put the whole family into it.

Especially over the years, he has helped the emperor face hundreds of officials, but he is hated by many people.

"Dad, I'm complaining about you, he's so unfair to you like this!" Yan Shifan faced the angry father and immediately explained.

Yan Song's eyes glared at Yan Shifan, and he said solemnly, "I don't have any grievances!" has been the first assistant for twenty consecutive years, and at the age of eighty-three, he can still stay in the position of the first assistant, who else has such an honor as a courtier throughout the ages? ”

In fact, Yan Song made a great sacrifice, but he also gained supreme grace, which cannot be said to be a loss-making business.

Yan Shifan really wanted to return to the cabinet and wanted to get more, so he immediately insisted and said angrily, "Then he can't say hello without saying a word, just take you down!" ”

Yan Song lay on the bamboo chair, sighed and said, "It's your father who is confused!" The emperor has hinted a few times, just thinking that if you return to the cabinet, you can be the first assistant for another two years, so you pretend to be confused and deliberately don't understand the emperor's words! ”

In many cases, he actually understands that he is old and it is time to give up his place. It's just that people inevitably have greed, but they want to stay up until Yan Shifan returns, so as to be in power for another two years.

However, with such a light poke from Zhang Wei, the superintendent of the imperial history, the relationship between the two of them was directly exposed, and he also paid the price for this greed.
