Chapter 430: Jie Te and Virtue
"Young Master, Young Master"
After receiving the note from Yan Song from the door of Xiyuan, the young man quickly rode to Yan's Mansion. People in the government said that Yan Shifan had not returned yet, so the boy went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and learned from an official that Yan Shifan was here, so he hurried back here.
However, after seeing Yan Shifan so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly with his tongue out loud, he couldn't help but become anxious.
Yan Song is old, and sometimes he lacks energy to deal with some things, and it is inevitable that he is a little unable to do what he wants. Being able to secure the position of chief minister of the cabinet depends largely on Yan Shifan's assistance. Every time Yan Song was on duty in the cabinet, for the sake of safety, he always posted a few servants at the gate of Xiyuan Palace to receive the notes from Yan Song and then quickly pass them to Yan Shifan for answers.
This boy is one of the guards, and he is in charge today.
Now that I see my young master drinking so much that his tongue is almost tied, he is so drunk that he can't help but worry. How can I help Mr. Xiang answer this question when he is so drunk?
"What are you shaking? How can I pick up the note when it's shaking like this?" Yan Shifan even scratched his left and right hands but couldn't get the note in front of him. He couldn't help but reprimanded drunkenly with his tongue out loud.
Uh, I obviously didn’t move while holding the note. You must have been too drunk. However, in the face of Yan Shifan's evil reputation, the boy obviously did not dare to say that.
"Yes, it's the little one who deserves to die. This is the note from the prime minister." The boy said, reaching out and slapping himself in the face, confessing repeatedly, and then stuffed the note into Yan Shifan's hand. .
Hmm.
Yan Shifan took the note in his hand and wanted to open it, but he was too drunk to complete the task of unfolding the folded note.
"Sir, I am in a hurry to get it." The boy added at the right time.
"Ma De, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yan Shifan heard this and was sober from alcohol. He reached out and slapped the boy on the head.
"Yes, yes, it's all a small fault." The boy was slapped on the head, but he admitted his mistake with a smile as if he had won a lottery.
"Okay, okay, go get a basin of hot water and a towel. Go quickly, I'll miss you, watch your skin carefully!" Yan Shifan urged, shaking his head.
The waiter responded and ran out quickly, and soon came over with a basin of boiling hot water. Behind him was the proprietress holding a towel, twisting her waist. Come, the clothes are light and thin, trying to cover up but still revealing.
The prototype of the power-sex deal, it seems that Yan Shifan and the landlady will be able to hook up in a short time.
Zhu Pingan just took a look and came to a conclusion.
The landlady also knew that this was a critical moment. After handing the towel to Yan Shifan, she winked and walked away, causing Yan Shifan to press harder on the ecstatic back of the landlady. I took a few glances.
The officials present here didn't know what Yan Shifan was doing with a large basin of hot water, and they were all curious.
After Yan Shifan withdrew his gaze from the back of the landlady, he immersed the towel in his hand into the basin of hot water. Then he took the towel out of the hot water while the towel was hot, and held the towel with his fat paws. After squeezing twice and squeezing out the hot water from the towel, he wrapped the towel around his head three times in total.
A smell of alcohol emanated from Yan Shifan's body, and Yan Shifan's drunken red face gradually dissipated a bit.
Uh
Is this guy sobering up?
Zhu Pingan was sitting next to Yan Shifan, and he could clearly feel that Yan Shifan's drunkenness had subsided a bit.
After about ten seconds, the heat of the towel subsided slightly. Yan Shifan took off the hot towel wrapped around his head, then immersed it in hot water again, took it out again and wrapped it around his head again.
After going back and forth about three times, Yan Shifan woke up and was no longer drunk.
"Well, Liu San did a good job. Go back to the tent to receive the reward." After Yan Shifan sobered up, he nodded towards the boy who brought the note.
"Thank you, sir." The boy's face was full of joy.
Yan Shifan took the note on the table in his hand, slowly unfolded it, and cast his eyes on the note. He saw only four words on the note:
"Ji Teeth and Virtue"< br>
After reading it, Yan Shifan read it silently.
Although Yan Shifan did not make a sound, Zhu Ping'an looked at the movements of Yan Shifan's lips and understood his lip language, and immediately knew the words on the note.
Leg teeth and virtue?
These four words must be the code words spoken by Emperor Jiajing.
The obvious meaning is whether Xu Jie's age and virtue are suitable. If you understand it literally, it means Emperor Jiajing asked Yan Song, what do you think of the virtue of this old boy Xu Jie.
Is that so?
Zhu Ping'an thought of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" he had read in modern times. There was a similar example in it. It said that Xu Jie received a note from Emperor Jiajing. There are also four similar words: Qing Te and De.
In other words, when Xu Jie saw these four words, he was shocked and broke out in a sweat. His first reaction was, Aiqing, do your age and virtue match? What do you mean? Does this mean that Emperor Jiajing is dissatisfied with me and wants to remove me from office? Then, Xu Jie was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night. When he met Ouyang De on the way to the Yamen office the next day, he suddenly burst out laughing. Only then did Xu Jie understand what Emperor Jiajing meant: Who is older, Aiqing, you or Ouyang De?
Not everyone can understand Emperor Jiajing's code words.
No wonder Yan Song passed the note to Yan Shifan. It is estimated that Yan Song didn't quite understand what Emperor Jiajing meant just after receiving the note.
Yan Song is quite satisfied with Xu Jie recently. Xu Jie has softened recently and often visits him in the palace. He keeps consistent with him on all matters in the court, and he will come to him for advice when he is not sure. The butt is placed very straight. Therefore, when Yan Song received this note from Emperor Jiajing, he was unsure of what Emperor Jiajing meant, so he asked someone to quickly send it to Yan Shifan for an answer.
After Yan Shifan saw the note, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed.
“Ouyang De’s teeth are longer than Xu Jie’s”
After Yan Shifan laughed, he took a writing brush and wrote eight words on the back of the note. He gave it to the boy and asked him to quickly pass it to Xiyuan.
The words written by Yan Shifan did not avoid Zhu Pingan and others. After seeing the eight words written by Yan Shifan, Zhu Pingan could not help but be a little in awe of Yan Shifan. This Yan Shifan was indeed cunning and witty, and he could actually In such a short period of time, Emperor Jiajing's intention was clearly understood.
I know that Emperor Jiajing's code words are also due to those events in the Ming Dynasty, but it is really amazing that Yan Shifan can figure out Emperor Jiajing's true meaning so quickly. You must know that this guy was very drunk just now. After he sobered up with hot water, he raised his pen and answered the secret words of Emperor Jiajing.
As expected, we cannot underestimate the ancients.
This is an extremely dangerous person. Zhu Ping'an secretly increased his vigilance against Yan Shifan in his heart. (End of chapter)
