Chapter 341 Where does the confidence come from?
After talking about Hu Zongxian, Zhao Wenhua felt much more relaxed.
Zhao Wenhua looked at Yan Shifan and asked: "Brother Donglou, the palace you suggested to His Majesty is now very controversial. Although Your Majesty is also very moved, I always feel that this matter may be unexpected."
After Yan Shifan heard Zhao Wenhua's reminder, Yan Shifan snorted, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there will never be any accidents. And there won't be any money from the salt tax." Maybe it will be given to the outer city of the capital. Then I will see what else Wang Youzhao has to deal with. I let you escape by chance last time, but this time I will make sure that he dies without a burial place!"
Yan Shifan is very vindictive. He is still thinking about the last "frozen sheep" incident. That incident made him so humiliated that even his best assistant Luo Longwen was forced to run away.
So whenever he thinks of this now, Yan Shifan becomes extremely angry and vows to pull Wang Youzhao down.
As for Hai Rui, the black-faced guy, Yan Shifan would never have let him go if he hadn't been backed by Prince Yu.
But it is a pity that Hai Rui is not only backed by Prince Yu, but also has the identity of a supervisory censor by Emperor Jiajing's decree.
Although in the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the supervisory censor was a seventh-grade sesame official.
But no one would really regard the seventh-grade censor as a sesame official.
Because if the official position of the censor is run well, he will often be given the title of imperial envoy and be placed as a patrol officer in a place, overriding the general soldiers of the local state capital.
And because of its special nature, it is easy for a seventh-grade censor to become a member of the imperial court in a rocket-like transformation!
For example, Hu Zongxian, who is recommended by Zhao Wenhua, is a typical example.
Originally Hu Zongxian was just an ordinary Jinshi. He didn't even enter the Hanlin Academy and was directly sent to any local county magistrate.
But I cannot stand that Hu Zongxian is a capable person, and his local political achievements and abilities are obvious to all.
In addition, he is from a famous family, so he will naturally be looked down upon.
So, after Hu Zongxian served as the county magistrate for two terms, he returned to Dingyou for three years and suddenly became the censor.
Furthermore, Hu Zongxian, who had just become the censor, was appointed as the inspector of Xuanda, and began to display his extraordinary talents in Xuanda and other important frontiers, maintain military discipline, strengthen border defenses, and even calm down the situation at critical moments. After a camp coup, he also gained more attention.
So, after the term of Xuan Daxun ended, he was appointed to Huguang to participate in quelling the local Miao rebellion.
If he hadn't been worried that no one would help him in the next step, and he might fall into the ranks of local officials, Hu Zongxian would not be so lowly and low-key to ask Zhao Wenhua for help.
Therefore, a censor with a background must not be viewed in a normal way.
God knows where their luck came from. They suddenly became a dragon and became a popular fried chicken that jumped several levels!
So even if Yan Shifan is unhappy with Hai Rui now, he has to endure it. After all, Prince Yu behind Hai Rui is not someone he can offend.
Looking at Yan Shifan who was so determined, Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but become curious.
Where did Yan Shifan get his confidence?
Is it just relying on Yan Song?
It seems that simply relying on his father did not really make His Majesty the Emperor unswervingly want to overhaul the palace. After all, this matter is now making a fuss, and many people are uniting to appeal to Emperor Jiajing, hoping that Emperor Jiajing can take back his orders and stop building large-scale construction projects.
But looking at Yan Shifan now, he seems to be really confident.
Is he really that confident?
Are you confident that your ideas will not be adhered to by His Majesty the Emperor?
Zhao Wenhua wondered: "What if this matter is stopped by a joint petition by Xu Jie and others? After all, people's words are terrible, and your Majesty sometimes has to consider the situation of the world."
Yan Shifan said: "You don't have to worry about it. I know this matter well. The emperor will definitely not be influenced by Xu Jie and the others. And this old boy Xu Jie is so timid and afraid of getting into trouble, I don't think he dares to go against me!" ”
Yan Shifan has quite a lot of experience in understanding Xu Jie’s psychology.
He always felt that although Xu Jie was not very obedient sometimes, he was generally a coward who could be suppressed.
But such a coward is actually the so-called leader of Qingliu. I really wonder if this group of Qingliu is mentally ill, and they actually follow such a spineless and irresponsible leader.
Don’t they know that the most capable person in the imperial court today is Yan Shifan?
What a shame!
But the more this happened, the more interesting it seemed to Yan Shifan.
Because he also wanted to see what else these Qingliu could do besides crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves?
Therefore, deep down in Yan Shifan's heart, he also looked down upon those Qingliu who only screamed about great principles and the so-called right way.
Thinking of this, Yan Shifan couldn't help but snorted, "These Qingliu are just like the Seven Jiangnan Monsters in "The Condor". They are all useless and want to die, but they all regard themselves as heroes. , I really don’t know what they think.”
Zhao Wenhua couldn’t help but smile when he heard Yan Shifan talking about the story in "Shooting the Condor", "Brother Donglou is really like these so-called Qingliu. Like the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, all of them like to talk great truths, but they are all useless. If Guo Jing hadn't been lucky and had a good character, he would have been ruined by these people. I don't know which one of the books Donglou likes the most. Role? "
At the end, Zhao Wenhua asked Yan Shifan this question again. Apparently, Zhao Wenhua also got interested in talking about "The Condor".
Since "The Ming Dynasty" serialized three issues of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", five hundred complete hardcover editions were suddenly put on the shelves.
This hardcover "Shooting the Condor" costs three taels of silver, and it is not a recreational book that ordinary people can afford. But for people like Yan Shifan and Zhao Wenhua, three taels of silver is just the price of a cup of tea.
So naturally both of them could afford the five hundred hardcover copies of "The Condor Shooting", so they naturally read the story first.
Yan Shifan chuckled and said: "Of course I like Dongxie. Look, my number is Donglou, and one of the four unique characters in the book is also called Dongxie. Moreover, Dongxie and I have very similar personalities. Like, they are the kind of people who are spontaneous and don't care about the world's eyes. How similar they are!"
When Zhao Wenhua heard Yan Shifan comparing himself to Dongxie, he also smiled awkwardly. In Zhao Wenhua's heart, Yan Shifan is at best Qiu Qianzhang pretending to be his younger brother, and his personality is at the level of Ouyang Ke, a little poisonous person.
So, when Yan Shifan compared himself to one of the Four Wonders in the book, Zhao Wenhua really wanted to make a complaint.
But who made Yan Shifan's father the chief minister of the cabinet?
Therefore, since he wants to say that he is Dongxie, then he must be Dongxie. I hope he will not be slapped to death by the real Dongxie in the future!
