Chapter 1001 The Stage of Entering the Body
After hearing Zhou Fangzheng’s sworn answer, Yan Shifan couldn’t help but spit on the ground and scolded Yang Jisheng from the air, “Yang Jisheng, this self-righteous idiot, My head was kicked by a donkey. No, I have to tell the old man about this."
Yan Shifan turned around and walked out. Let's go. After taking two steps, he said to Zhou Fangzheng behind him without looking back, "Master Zhou, please come with me."
"Yes, Master Yan."
Zhou Fangzheng bowed respectfully and responded, his body bowed to the end, his back bent like a cooked shrimp. Even though he was only facing Yan Shifan's back, Zhou Fangzheng was not respectful.
Yan Shifan was in front, Zhou Fangzheng was behind, and they soon arrived in front of Yan's study.
Yan Song just helped Emperor Jiajing successfully complete the fasting ceremony yesterday. Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied with the fasting ceremony, and because of Yan Song's advanced age, he was particularly considerate of Yan Song and gave him a day off. , let Yan Song have a good rest at home.
Yan Song is in the study at the moment.
When Zhou Fangzheng followed Yan Shifan to the door of the study, he was very excited. He knew that this was his chance to make a career.
He warned himself more than once in his heart that he must seize this opportunity.
This is the second time he has met Yan Song at close range, but it can also be said to be the first time, because the last time he went to Yan's house, although Yan Song also met him, he only said a word, and it cannot be regarded as a formal meeting in the strict sense. Goodbye.
This time is different. This time I came with a certificate of advancement and a certificate. This time I must seize the opportunity and perform well in front of Mr. Yan Ge. As long as you get into the eyes of Mr. Yan Ge, your steady rise to success and rapid success will no longer be a dream.
With this excitement, Zhou Fang looked up at the study door like a pilgrim.
The study is ajar.
There was a screen blocking the view, so I couldn't see clearly inside, but there were vague sounds coming from inside.
"Father, I accidentally heard the news. I heard that "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan, a master of the Northern Song Dynasty, is now treasured in the home of the late Prime Minister Wang Ao."
The voice of a person in the study reached Zhou Fangzheng In his ears, Zhou Fangzheng's ears twitched when he heard the words, and he keenly caught the words "adopted father" and ""Along the River During Qingming Festival"". Foster father? Is this person inside Zhao Wenhua, the general envoy? Or Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda? Zhou Fangzheng knew that there were rumors that Yan Song had multiple godsons. The most famous ones were Zhao Wenhua, Yang Shun, and of course Qiu Luan, the Marquis of Xianning. However, Qiu Luan had already been executed. At this time, the most likely ones were Zhao Wenhua or Yang Shun. .
Also, Qingming Festival Along the River? !
Isn’t it said that "Along the River During Qingming Festival" has been lost? Unexpectedly, it was secretly hidden by the old prime minister Wang Ao. If he could obtain "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and then present it to Mr. Yange, wouldn't it be another great achievement? However, Zhou Fangzheng himself also knew that he could only think about this contribution. Although Wang Xiang was deceased, the Wang family was still a master of hairpins and wats. They neither lacked money nor power. How could he, who was moneyless and powerless, It's something that even small officials can covet.
“Dong Dong.”
Yan Shifan's knock on the door interrupted Zhou Fangzheng's reverie and also interrupted the conversation in the study.
"Who is it?" An old and rich voice came from the study, it was Yan Song's inquiry.
"Dad, it's me." Yan Shifan replied outside the door.
"Donglou kid, come in." Yan Song's voice came from the study.
Yan Shifan responded and took Zhou Fangzheng into the study.
"Don't you have to go to the Yamen in the east building? Why are you back?" Yan Shifan looked up from behind the screen, and Yan Song asked.
After Yan Song asked, he noticed that there was someone behind Yan Shifan.
“Who is this?”
Yan Song no longer remembers Zhou Fangzheng.
"Dad, this is Zhou Fangzheng from the Department of Science and Technology. I was going to go to the Yamen, but I happened to meet Mr. Zhou coming to visit. Mr. Zhou told me some news, and I think I must tell dad. "When Yan Shifan answered, he introduced Zhou Fangzheng.
"My lower official, Zhou Fangzheng, has met Mr. Ge."
Zhou Fangzheng lifted his robe, knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed firmly to Yan Song, and when his head touched the ground, he said " "Bang" sound.
“Oh, I remember, I saw you last month.” Yan Song saw Zhou Fangzheng kowtow like this, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Fangzheng also kowtowed like this last month. .
“It’s an honor to be a lower official.” Zhou Fang replied happily with his head on the ground.
“Don’t be formal, get up and find a seat by yourself.” Yan Song nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Ge." Zhou Fangzheng got up from the ground with tears in his eyes.
After Zhao Wenhua greeted Yan Shifan, he glanced at Zhou Fangzheng and twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain.
"Donglou, what news did you just tell me?" Yan Song asked Yan Shifan.
"Dad, someone is impeaching you again. I just heard the news from Mr. Zhou, so I came here." Yan Shifan replied.
“Someone is impeaching my adoptive father again?! There are still people who don’t know whether to live or die!” Zhao Wenhua took action.
"Wenhua, sit down. How old are you to be so frivolous?" Yan Song heard that someone was impeaching him. His face did not change, he sat as firm as a pine tree, glanced at the frustrated Zhao Wenhua, and said lightly.
After controlling the government for so many years, Yan Song has lost count of how many times he has been impeached, but each time he did not go through it smoothly.
Facing impeachment, Yan Song has long been accustomed to it.
“My child, isn’t this a complaint for my adoptive father? For decades, my adoptive father has worked hard and devoted himself to our great Ming Dynasty, so that these people can enjoy the prosperous world. Without my adoptive father, where would they be? Today is a good day, but they are not grateful. Instead, they retaliate and impeach the foster father!" Zhao Wenhua said indignantly as he sat down.
Yan Song stopped caring about Zhao Wenhua, looked up at Yan Shifan, and asked calmly, "Who is this time?"
"Yang Jisheng." Yan Shifan replied.
“Who?” After Yan Song heard that it was Yang Jisheng, his expression changed and he asked again.
"Dad, you heard that right, it is Yang Jisheng, a member of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War who you always promoted." Yan Shifan answered again.
“This white-eyed wolf!” Zhao Wenhua jumped up again and cursed Yang Jisheng, “When Yang Jisheng failed to impeach Qiu Luan and was demoted to barbarian barbarism, it was his adoptive father who praised him in front of the Holy Emperor. After saying that, he was able to be transferred back to the Central Plains by the Holy Emperor. Then his adoptive father made an unusual promotion and made him He has been promoted several levels in a row, from a small county magistrate to the head of the Nanjing Household Department, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and now a member of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. His adoptive father treated him with great kindness, but this white-eyed wolf did not know how to repay kindness, but repaid him with hatred. That’s not true.” (End of this chapter)
