Chapter 522: I am blessed without children or grandchildren
The next day, when Zhu Zaijing went to the Wenhua Palace to supervise the country's governance as usual, a decree came from the Xiyuan that shocked all the officials in the capital.
After these officials heard the meaning of this decree, everyone fell into confusion. They never dreamed why Emperor Jiajing would issue such an incredible decree.
At the same time, Yan Shifan, who was taking care of his father at home, was even more ecstatic after hearing Emperor Jiajing's decree, feeling as if he was going to win again.
"Dad! Did you hear that? The emperor is so confused. He actually ordered King Jing to be in charge of the Imperial Guard. This shows that he doesn't trust King Yu and wants to make it more difficult for King Yu."
Yan Shifan was extremely surprised and said to Yan Song who was drying books in the yard.
After Yan Song heard Yan Shifan's words, his attention was still on the slightly damp ancient book in his hand, as if Yan Shifan's excitement had nothing to do with him.
Yan Shifan saw that his father was still packing up the old books that he had put away, and he couldn't help but come closer, squatting in front of Yan Song, and helping to pack them.
But he didn't pack it as carefully as Yan Song. It was obvious that when he packed these old books, he wasn't thinking about it at all, just to show that he was a filial son.
Therefore, he squatted in front of Yan Song, helped Yan Song pack up these old books, opened them, and then bask in the sun.
"Dad, did you hear what I just said?"
After Yan Shifan packed up two old books, he stopped and couldn't help but look up at Yan Song and asked.
Yan Song said blankly: "Oh, what did you just say?"
Seeing his father's behavior, Yan Shifan felt helpless. The old man was getting more and more confused as he got older. He couldn't even remember what he just said.
Yan Shifan said patiently: "The news just came that the emperor issued an order from Xiyuan to put King Jing in charge of the imperial guards. This is a big deal. It shows that the emperor does not trust King Yu. Otherwise, how could he Will King Jing be responsible for Jin Yiwei’s errands?”
Yan Song also raised his head and stopped what he was doing, looked at his son squatting in front of him, and finally said slowly: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
When Yan Shifan heard this, he almost memorized it in one breath. What happened to dad? This is the reaction to such a big thing?
Yan Shifan continued to explain to Yan Song: "This matter is of great concern, Dad. King Jing and King Yu are the same age, both in their twenties, and they also have children now. Logically speaking, he should become a vassal, but why hasn't he always done so? As for the feudal lord, are you still in the capital?”
"Now, the emperor is in seclusion to cultivate immortality, and let Prince Yu go to the Wenhua Palace to supervise the regency of the country. It seems to be to stabilize Prince Yu's status as the crown prince. But now he has ordered Prince Jing to be in charge of the royal guards. Doesn't this mean that the emperor does not trust Prince Yu? , to use another son to spy on another son.”
"And this is our opportunity. If we can help King Jing catch King Yu's pigtails and present these issues to the emperor, then when the emperor ends his retreat, won't the future belong to King Jing?"
Yan Shifan's analysis was clear and logical, and Yan Song listened with interest.
Yan Song smiled and said: "Yes, the future belongs to King Jing, what does it have to do with us?"
Yan Shifan said anxiously: "Father, are you confused? We support King Jing. If he can inherit the throne, wouldn't we be ministers of the Dragon? In the future, won't the position of chief minister of the Ming Dynasty still belong to you?"
When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help laughing again, "Today I will make an exception and teach you a lesson."
Yan Shifan immediately said obediently: "Father, please speak."
Yan Song lowered his head slightly to Yan Shi's ear and said in a low voice: "There are no good people in Lao Zhu's family. They are born with mud legs. It is their nature to be small-bellied and ungrateful!"
After hearing these words, Yan Shifan stared at his only good eye in disbelief and looked at Yan Song in disbelief. He never expected that his father, who had been cautious all his life, would have such treacherous thoughts.
You must know that in the entire Yan family, he is the most rebellious person, and he often regards himself as the smartest person in the world.
As a result, Yan Song now said such a fatal and treasonous statement, which really frightened Yan Shifan.
Yan Shifan was shocked: "Dad! Can you say this?"
Yan Shifan quickly looked around, as if he was worried that other people in the yard could hear them at this time.
Yan Song smiled and sat up again. He carefully opened the old book in his hand and placed it on the stone railing beside him.
Yan Song smiled and said: "You have so much courage and still want to help King Jing ascend to the throne? In my opinion, you are going to lead the Yan family to a dead end!"
When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately became angry again. He felt that his father was playing tricks on him again.
Yan Shifan said angrily: "Dad, why don't you believe me? Who am I worse than? Apart from me not taking the imperial examination, how many people in the Ming Dynasty are as smart as me? I can make the emperor fool around. I I can still help him make money, and I can also help him deal with people. How can I cultivate immortality with peace of mind without him?”
Yan Song listened to his son's angry words and said calmly: "That's the opportunity he gave you, not you to help him. If he wants to be helped, everyone in the world doesn't know how many people want to squeeze him out. I took my head off and went to help him.”
"Look at Xu Jie, he has been cautious all his life. At the beginning, he was also impulsive. He often said things that made the emperor unhappy, and he was demoted from the capital because of this. But he was able to come back and become a Cabinet Bachelor. Do you think you are as smart as him? ”
Yan Song's words also made Yan Shifan unhappy. What he despised the most was a sinister villain like Xu Jie, who acted one way on the surface but another behind the scenes. He also called himself a gentleman and had a bunch of fools who followed him. It was simply I don’t know if these people are mentally ill.
Moreover, Xu Jie was belittled by King Yu last year as "a follower of the elder".
Can such a wretched person be as smart as him?
Yan Shifan was dissatisfied and said: "Isn't Xu Jie a villain who is good at maneuvering? Isn't he able to reach his current position because the emperor was worried that you would dominate the cabinet, so he let him come up? Moreover, he has had many problems in recent years. What kind of achievement? Aren’t you just serving tea and serving water like a little wife under your power?”
Yan Song sighed. Sometimes he really didn't know whether Yan Shifan was really smart or fake. He didn't follow his own city and vision at all. Instead, he learned to be arrogant and domineering, and he often took pride in being clever. It was simply Just don’t know whether to live or die!
If he hadn't been getting older over the years, and there was no reliable person around him who could give careful advice, and there were no other sons who could serve him and enjoy the family life, he would have been tempted to send Yan Shifan back to his hometown in Jiangxi to take care of the family business.
Yan Song said: "Okay, let's not talk about these things. Help me dry these books. Maybe I will have to retire and return to my hometown after a while, and I will have to take these books home."
When Yan Shifan heard this, he couldn't help but snorted, "You should just follow these books. As a son, I have been busy and worried about this family, but you still don't appreciate it. ”
"Now that Zhao Wenhua, the white-eyed wolf, has openly defected to King Yu, and Xu Jie and the others are also laughing at our jokes, you can still have the leisure to post books at home. I really don't know what your plans are for the future?"
Yan Song chuckled and said: "I just want to live my old age peacefully and not follow in Xia Shoufu's footsteps."
After Yan Shifan heard this, he stopped talking. He felt that his father was getting timid as he got older. The words just now may have been said by him because he was really stupid.
Otherwise this would be completely unexplainable.
Yan Shifan said: "Okay, okay, I will help you post the books. When you grow old, these books will be with you. When you wait for a hundred years, I will take these books to the ground with you. This will make it a success." Right? ”
Yan Song smiled and said: "I hope there will be such a day."
Yan Shifan was unhappy and helped Yan Song post these old books. When he didn't post a few of them, he couldn't help but find an excuse to leave Yan Song. Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan who was about to leave again. He also knew that he could no longer stop Yan Shifan now, and he could only leave everything to fate.
So Yan Song didn't speak at this moment. He just turned around quietly and watched Yan Shifan's back disappear from his eyes.
After Yan Shifan completely disappeared, Yan Song reluctantly looked back and muttered softly, "That's it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I will enjoy the blessings without children and grandchildren."
At the same time, at Prince Jing’s Mansion.
King Jing Zhu Zaizhen couldn't help but look at Huang Jin, the eunuch and eunuch who came to announce the decree, at a loss.
Zhu Zaizhen still couldn't believe that Emperor Jiajing would issue such a decree and actually let him be in charge of the Jinyi Guard.
Zhu Zaizhen said: "Father, is this decree true?"
Huang Jin smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? This servant came from the emperor. How can this decree be false? You will go to the Jinyiwei Yamen in a moment, and the servant will help you."
Zhu Zaizhen said oh, and accepted the result somewhat unrealistically. He sat slightly on the chair and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. I'm going to change my clothes."
Zhu Zaizhen didn't wait for Huang Jin to reply. He immediately stood up again and asked Liu Dezhu to continue to accompany Huang Jin here, while he headed towards the back house.

Zhu Zaizhen went straight to Princess Jing's courtyard. At this time, he felt that the only person he could discuss with was the nominal princess.
When they arrived at Princess Jing's small courtyard, Princess Jing was also sitting in the courtyard holding her son Zhu Yizhong and basking in the sun.
When the maids serving Princess Jing saw their prince approaching, they also quickly saluted: "May you be safe, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zaizhen said to the maid: "You all go down first, as long as I accompany the princess."
The maid glanced at Princess Jing, who also nodded slightly, and then all the maids retreated.
After all the maids had retreated, Zhu Zaizhen couldn't wait to sit on the stone pier covered with brocade cloth next to Princess Jing. "Something happened to the princess. My father asked me to take charge of the royal guards. What does this mean?"
After Princess Jing heard Zhu Zaizhen's words, she couldn't help but pause while holding Zhu Yizhong, and then she also looked at Zhu Zaizhen.
"When did this happen? Didn't my father go into seclusion?"
Princess Jing also looked at Zhu Zaizhen doubtfully.
Zhu Zaizhen said: "Yes, my father has gone into seclusion. This is the order sent by Eunuch Huang Jin just now. Others are still in the front hall."
When Princess Jing heard this, she couldn't help but frown and start thinking.
After thinking for a while, Princess Jing looked at Zhu Zaizhen and said, "My lord, do you think this is what the third brother meant?"
After Zhu Zaizhen heard what Princess Jing said, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, "What does the third brother mean? But why does the third brother do this?"
Princess Jing looked at her husband in name only, and reminded her: "My lord, must you have forgotten that when a minister suggested that you go and join the feudal clan, it was the third brother who specifically went to the emperor to ask your father to postpone your joining the feudal clan."< br>
"And later when I was with the third brother, the third brother also told me that he did not intend to let you, the prince, live outside the capital, nor did he intend to let the princes in the future live outside the country like the previous princes. Prepare to find another way to let the future king stay in the capital and participate in some miscellaneous affairs. ”
"Now it seems that the reason why you were assigned to be in charge of the Jinyiwei by my father is probably the third brother's suggestion. Otherwise, why would my father choose you to be in charge of the Jinyiwei? You must know that many people are eyeing this position now."
After Zhu Zaizhen heard Princess Jing's analysis, he nodded in agreement.
He had also heard Zhu Zaijing's words at the beginning, but he didn't pay much attention to them at that time, thinking that Zhu Zaijing just said this to comfort him.
After all, after the vassal was sent to other places, he would never be able to return to the capital in this life, so Zhu Zaizhen was also worried about the matter of vassal, fearing that he would never return once he left.
But since he had Zhu Yizhong, Zhu Zaizhen also looked away, and the vassal was the vassal, as long as King Jing's line was still there.
But now after hearing Princess Jing's analysis, Zhu Zaizhen couldn't help but start to carefully recall what Zhu Zaijinghe said to him.
It seems that Zhu Zaijing told him that if he wanted to change the future king's idea of not becoming a vassal, it was true.
Zhu Zaizhen said: "But even if we don't go, we will become a vassal, but what about the affairs of Jin Yiwei?"
Princess Jing said: "Simple, just listen to the third brother what Jin Yiwei wants to do. Just do whatever he asks you to do. When the third brother inherits the throne in the future, even if he cannot change the fact that the king of the clan becomes a vassal, He will also find you a domain close to the capital and won’t put us too far away.”
After saying that, Princess Jing deliberately held Zhu Yizhong in her arms and glanced at Zhu Zaizhen.
Zhu Zaizhen looked at Princess Jing's movements, and then looked at Zhu Yizhong in Princess Jing's arms, and he seemed to understand the key instantly.
Zhu Zaizhen said in surprise: "The princess is right, how could I forget our son?"
When Princess Jing heard Zhu Zaizhen say "our son", her expression was indifferent. Obviously she didn't agree with the answer, but she didn't deny it either.
Princess Jing said: "My lord, Eunuch Huang is still waiting for you in the front hall. Don't keep him waiting for too long. He is the most trusted eunuch around your father. You brothers can't see your father, but he can I see you every day and cannot be ignored.”
Zhu Zaizhen said quickly: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away."
Then Zhu Zaizhen went to his small courtyard, hurriedly changed his clothes, and then rushed to the front hall without stopping.
After he arrived at the front hall, he immediately said to Huang Jin: "My father-in-law, you have been waiting for a long time."
Huang Jin looked at Zhu Zaizhen who had changed his clothes and came over, and said with a smile: "Soon, my lord, let's set off?"
Zhu Zaizhen hummed, "Father-in-law, please!"
