Chapter 704 Gift Letter
"Thanks to Zi Hou for exposing the case of Zhao Daying for killing Liang Liang and taking advantage of it, which helped me make up for the lax review. Otherwise, I would have no face to face the Holy Emperor and the people of the world."
“Back then, the Northern Barbarians and Khan invaders harassed Beijing. City, the world was in shock. In order to stabilize the country and wipe out the barbarians, His Majesty issued "rewards" and generous rewards to encourage the soldiers and civilians to serve. At that time, the northern barbarians were in great danger. I also set an example and encouraged the soldiers and civilians to serve to drive out the northern barbarians. Zhao Daying got caught because he neglected the review. I didn't expect that Zhao Daying, as an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty, had been favored by the emperor in his life, and he should have been responsible for defending his family and the country, but he was so greedy for profit that he killed the good and took the credit. Fortunately, Zihou saved me from this mistake. I don’t know if I can’t protect you at night, but I don’t know how many other people have suffered. Zhao Daying's murderous hand. Tell me, should I thank you?"
Yan Song looked at Zhu Ping'an seriously and said slowly, saying that he was willing to take credit for Zhao Daying's murder. I was deeply saddened by the incident, and expressed my appreciation and gratitude to Zhu Ping'an for impeaching Zhao Daying.
Zhu Ping'an was a little surprised when Yan Song said he wanted to say thank you, but now after hearing the reason why Yan Song said thank you, he understood clearly.
Why does this scene seem so familiar? It seems to be a scene from a popular modern anti-corruption drama.
"How can Ping An deserve the thanks of the chief minister? When Ping An learned that Zhao Daying had killed a good man and took credit for his crimes, he was so indignant that he wrote a letter to impeach the Zhao thief. Later he learned that Zhao Daying was the chief minister. After Master Fu nominated him for the reward, Ping An couldn't help but worry, fearing that he would be blamed by Chief Fu, but unexpectedly The first assistant is so understanding of righteousness and selflessness, he has the heart of a villain, and he hopes that the first assistant will atone for his sins."
Even though he understood what was going on, Zhu Pingan did not dare at all in the face of Yan Song's thanks. Tuoda, with an expression of surprise, fear and emotion on his face, stood up and left his seat.
"What crime did Zihou commit? It doesn't matter if I nominated him for a reward. Those I nominated were not outside the law. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. Let alone a thousand households I nominated for a reward. Even if it is As long as my son breaks the law, he should be punished accordingly." Yan Song waved his hand and said righteously.
Zhu Ping'an naturally showed that he was moved by Yan Song's selflessness.
"Zihou, Wenhua, you two remember this. From now on, whoever violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be brought to justice. You too, if you dare to violate the laws, don't blame me for being unkind. "
Yan Song's eyes were sharp, shining with sharp light, and with the majesty of a superior, he swept across Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Wenhua.
Just being glanced at by Yan Song made the goosebumps on Zhu Pingan's back rise again.
Yan Song is worthy of being a big tiger who has been in a high position for many years. Just one look in his eyes can put so much pressure on people. Zhu Ping'an is even more afraid of Yan Song and has made up his mind to be careful in front of Yan Song in the future. No matter how cautious you are, you must not be smart and know the flow of history, but underestimate the ancients and get carried away. Otherwise, you will only fall when the time comes.
Yan Song was powerful, had many party members, and was favored by Emperor Jiajing. At this time, Yan Song was at the peak of his career, so it was not the time to compete.
Yan Song is like a majestic mountain. He is just an ant at the foot of the mountain. If he wants to shake the mountain, he should do it slowly.
Have you not seen that Xu Jie, the old man in officialdom who will bring down Yan Song in the future, as a cabinet minister, is still submissive and submissive to Yan Song? How can I dare to show off in front of Yan Song?
So Zhu Ping'an stood up in a hurry, his words and deeds became more and more respectful, and he bowed his head and thanked Yan Song: "Ping'an will remember the teachings of the first assistant. He must know the law and abide by the law, be loyal and diligent, and live up to the teachings of the first assistant."
"Don't worry, foster father, Wenhua doesn't dare." Zhao Wenhua also stood up and said he didn't dare.
"Well, sit down and talk. I'm at ease with you two." Upon seeing this, Yan Song nodded with satisfaction and gently asked the two of them to sit down and talk.
Zhu Pingan and Zhao Wenhua naturally thanked them profusely.
After sitting down again, Yan Song encouraged Zhu Ping'an a few more words, then stood up and looked at the four treasures of the study on the table, took a brush in his hand, dipped it in ink, and said: "Zihou is newly married, Yan'er, I don’t have it yet Congratulatory gift, when I first joined the cabinet, I wrote a poem, so I would like to give it to you as a wedding gift."
"How can peace be so generous as to receive such a generous gift from the chief minister?" On the safe side, I was very touched.
Yan Song chuckled and joked: "I don't want to give up the gift, so I gave it in poetry."
After finishing speaking, Yan Song picked up the pen and put down the ink, and the pen moved like a dragon and a snake, In an instant a poem appeared on the page:
"The Zhishe in Wuyi Hall and the Shao Shi Xiang Gong Yun"
Lamps and candles flicker all night in the forbidden house, and the foggy windows and cloud pavilions are close to the houses. The auspicious smoke enters the fragrant floating garden, and the cold shadow peeks through the curtain as the moon comes to an end.
Gouling first heard the red phoenix blowing, and Gucheng first visited Chisongshu. I haven't told the world about my return yet, but the words of heaven are personally inherited by Yan and I.
Zhu Ping'an read this poem by Yan Song in modern times. There were two versions of the title at that time, one was "Wu Yi Dian Zhi She and Shao Shi Xiang Gong Yun" and the other was "Wu Yi" "Dian Zhishe and Shao Shi Xia Gongyun", now it seems that it should be the first version.
This is the first time Zhu Pingan has seen Yan Song write. I have to say that when Yan Song lowers his head and concentrates on writing, he has a very charming personality, as if a master is splashing ink in front of him, and his whole body exudes a sense of awe. Righteousness, just like the words he writes, are powerful, full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and breathe through the back of the paper.
Are words like the person they are?
Looking at the calligraphy written by Yan Song full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and then thinking about the bloody debts in Yan Songqing's history, Zhu Ping'an felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
“The words of my adoptive father are like the purple air coming from the east, vigorous and vigorous, making people look up to them more and more.” Zhao Wenhua watched Yan Song’s poems from the sidelines, full of praise, and highly praised Yan Song’s calligraphy.
Yan Song smiled and said nothing, then looked at Zhu Pingan.
"Ping'an thinks that calligraphy has entered the hall, and today coincides with the first master's masterpiece. Only then do we know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky. He is the frog at the bottom of Ping'an's well. He sits in the well and looks at the sky." Zhu Ping'an also highly praised Yan Song's calligraphy.
"Zihou is in his youth, so don't try to flatter him." Yan Song glanced at Zhu Ping'an with a smile and shook his head slightly.
Zhu Ping'an understood this well and knew that he had to get to the point and scratch Yan Song's itch.
So, Zhu Ping'an shook his head and defended seriously, "The first assistant mistakenly blamed Ping'an. I appreciate calligraphy and appreciate its three flavors. The first is the beauty of form, the second is the beauty of spirit, and the third is the beauty of emotion. Beauty of form. The beauty is the stipple layout; the beauty is the spirit and charm; the beauty of emotion is not to mention the state. The physical beauty and spiritual beauty of calligraphy, just in terms of the state of Haoran's righteousness that appears on the paper, are far beyond Ping An's ability."
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's defense, Yan Song appreciated the calligraphy of Zhu Ping'an. The three flavors made Yan Song's eyes light up, and the last four words "Haoran Zhengqi" made Yan Song stroke his beard.
As the saying goes, words are like people.
The awe-inspiring righteousness in calligraphy has always been something Yan Song prides himself on. He has always firmly believed that he is:
A loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor and loves the people.
A person who is kind, righteous, courteous and wise.
A husband who is loyal to his wife.
A father who dotes on his children.
It is precisely because of this that I, Yan Song, have cultivated Haoran's righteousness and can write such Haoran's righteous calligraphy. (End of this chapter)
