Chapter 738 Evaluation
Compared to the worship at the beginning of the year, this time it was much more miserable. At least there were no longer long queues of officials waiting at the gate of Yan's mansion, and there were no important officials of the Shangshu level in the gatehouse to welcome guests.
Qian Yuan slowly walked into the mansion and worshiped the spiritual tablet with a serious expression. Yan Shifan's sons opposite him replied with red and swollen eyes.
His eyes fell on the spiritual throne. Wang Yi once mentioned that Yan Shifan was beheaded and his heart was dug out... For Yan Shifan himself, this was his due fate.
Although Yan Shifan had not experienced the academic field, he was not a skilled person. He was well-read and knowledgeable, and had good calligraphy and painting. However, he relied on his father, Yan Song, to be arrogant, cunning and resourceful, and often had illegal things.
In the view of Qian Yuan, as a time traveler, this is a historical figure who is difficult to make accurate evaluations. Yan Song defeated Xia Yan, who is nearly 70 years old, is difficult to continue to rule in actual terms.
Yan Shifan entered Zhilu and planned to actually exercise the power of the chief minister of the cabinet for his father. In the eyes of the world, he was greedy for money and was deceived by the emperor, and the world was in chaos. Altan frequently invaded, and the Japanese invasion in the southeast blocked the way of speech, which ruined the court.
But in fact, Altan's invasion and the Japanese riots in the southeast were inevitable, and it was difficult to stop anyone in power.
Greedy in money and power... Just kidding, there are only ten people who are not greedy for money in a hundred capital officials. Even if they are as honest as Gao Gong, they are still greedy for power, and there is only one Hai Rui in the world.
It is even more funny to deceive the emperor. As one of the most scheming emperors in history, Emperor Jiajing always played with his ministers in his hands. Although Yan Song, Yan Shifan and even Xu Jie were inevitably seen through his thoughts, he always held the initiative.
As for blocking the road of speech... Yan Song and Yan Shifan said that he dare not take the blame, nor can he take it. It was completely the blame of Emperor Jiajing.
Back then, all officials cried and broke the backbone of the censors with a scepter. However, there were still many impeachment memorials like snowflakes every year. Not to mention Yan Song, even Zhang Juzheng at the heyday could not completely control the censors.
Nowadays, the censor of Kedao is very concerned about Xu Jie.
In the world, the chaos will inevitably be caused by treacherous ministers taking power, blinding the emperor, and damaging the world... This is the characteristic of the times. Of course, it is more of the role of the human heart. If you strictly hold the position, you will not leave any oil for others!
"Show talent." Zhao Wenhua approached carefully and whispered: "Today, the Ministry of Works has a lot of trouble and has not been able to welcome him."
After Yan Shifan died, Zhao Wenhua's fear of Qian Yuan reached its peak. Only he could guess in the world where Yan Shifan died.
The reason is very simple. When did Yan Shifan leave Beijing? Yan Shifan transfer to Nanjing... The route and time were sent to Zhenhai by Zhao Wenhua.
From the death of Ouyang's illness, to the departure of Yan Shifan's capital, to the sudden rise of bandits in Jiangxi, news of Yan Shifan's death came... Or go further, in the backyard of the Qian family restaurant in the 35th year of Jiajing... Zhao Wenhua knew that everything now should be drawn by the young man in front of him.
Qian Yuan glanced at Zhao Wenhua slightly and sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Donglou to die young..."
Zhao Wenhua felt cold all over his body and said softly: "I will leave if I write a letter at this time..."
"It's not the time." Qian Yuan replied coldly, occupying the position of Minister of Works. How can he easily give up the position of Minister of Works? Maybe a storm will cause a storm.
Qian Yuan was not afraid of Zhao Wenhua's breaking, and did not say that the matter was exposed and how Yan Song dealt with Zhao Wenhua, but only said that Zhao Wenhua's hometown is Cixi, located in Ningbo Prefecture, which was Qian Yuan's base camp... All over and over, including the army, were Qian Yuan's direct descendants.
Sighing slightly, Qian Yuan's gaze returned to Yan Shifan's spiritual throne again.
In fact, in the past ten years, the actual ruler should be said to be half Yan Song and half Yan Shifan. The latter is indeed talented and can do something even if he does not rely on his father.
But it's really damn.
It was Yan Shifan who made it hard for Yang Shun to serve as Governor of Xuanda for a long time. Although Altan was inevitable invasion of the south, every time he was at this time, the frontier would be defeated almost every battle, with a lot of people, livestock being looted, and many families being destroyed.
Although Yan Shifan was the one who made great efforts to protect Hu Zongxian as the governor of Zhejiang, which caused the Japanese turmoil in the southeast to subside, Qian Yuan would not forget that Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong abandoned the market, Nie Bao dismissed from office and returned home, Yan Shifan made great efforts.
After a long period of silence, a slight sigh rang behind me.
"I heard that Zhan Chuan met with his child in Zhenjiang?"
"Yuanfu's grief." Qian Yuan turned around and saluted Yan Song, "That day, Brother Donglou was sitting in a boat and treated the guests with a vegetarian meal. His expression was not smooth and he was quite depressed. Qian advised him to meet again in the capital in the next day..."
Yan Song closed his eyes in pain, "Who is the one who is in charge of what he sees?"
Qian Yuan hesitated, "The officials dare not think about it randomly..."
Yan Song paced back and forth in front of the spiritual position, waved his hand to repel everyone, and asked softly: "Huating?"
"It may not be possible." Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "If it were Huating, Dong Chuance might not have submitted an impeachment memorial."
This is a simple truth. In this case, Emperor Jiajing may not necessarily protect Yan Song, but it is hard to say when Yan Shifan was killed.
Yan Song shook his head, "If there were no Jinyiwei searches, I would be afraid that Donglou's death had not entered Beijing at this time."
Qian Yuan recalled Wang Yi in his heart, which was true.
"Ten days ago, Yongshou Palace was burned down, and I advised Your Majesty to move to the Nangong."
Qian Yuan closed his eyes... Well, Xu Jie is determined to resist the blame this time!
No matter what the reason, Yan Song made a mistake, Xu Jie attacked quickly, trying to decide the world in one fell swoop... He really had the motivation to kill Yan Shifan!
After another long silence, Yan Song said slowly: "From Zhancai, how do you evaluate children in future generations?"
"Donglou Gong read a lot of books, was very quick-witted and wrote on his behalf. Although he was ridiculed by the world, he also maintained the government's affairs." Qian Yuan whispered: "One of them is arbitrary, and the other is too loving money, but the evaluation of later generations depends on Yuan Fu."
Yan Song nodded, but was silent. It was true. How can his son be evaluated lies in himself, lies in himself being evaluated as a treacherous minister, mediocre minister, and powerful minister...
Seeing Yan Song, who was over 80 years old, walk out of the mourning hall tremblingly, Qian Yuan guessed in his heart, what would this old man who had been in the officialdom for more than half a century do next?
Are you disheartened and withdrawing from the stage of history?
Or fight back?
If Xu Jie took action, it proves that if Yan Song retreated, Xu Jie would not show mercy. If his son died, would he still have to pay his grandson?
If it weren't for Xu Jie's actions, it would have been even worse. It proves that someone is eyeing the Yan family to take revenge. If only Yan Shifan is killed, the other party will be satisfied?
After leaving Yan's mansion, Qian Yuan glanced at Zhao Wenhua who was sent out and whispered: "Let's wait for news. If there is anything, send it to the restaurant."
"Yes, it all depends on the talent show." Zhao Wenhua smiled bitterly and said, "Now it's over."
Yan Shifan died, Wu Peng retired, and Dong Fen lived in vain. Now only the Minister of the Yan Party were Zhao Wenhua, Minister of Works and Minister of Justice Ouyang Bijin, who was actually not considered a direct descendant of the Yan Party. Zhao Wenhua was driven to the shelves and was put on the shelves. His only hope now is to retire and return home.
When Qian Yuan galloped all the way back to the gate of Suiyuan, before he could turn over and get off the horse, a familiar man rushed out of the gatehouse and almost rushed to Qian Yuan's horse.
"Oh, hey, I'm finally back!" Feng Bao said with a bitter face: "Zhancai, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Your Majesty is still waiting in the West Garden."
"You have to wash up..."
"That's it. Your Majesty is afraid that he will be anxious." Feng Bao bowed repeatedly, "Besides, Zhan Cai, Yushu, still needs to dress up with powder?"
When he first entered Beijing in the 34th year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan, accompanied by Lu Bing, commander of the Jinyiwei, entered the West Garden.
After the Tongxiang victory in the 35th year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan first entered the Xiyuan, accompanied by Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor.
This time, Qian Yuan had no choice but to go to Yan's house to pay homage. Unexpectedly, the eunuch Feng Bao, the Silijian, was waiting at the gate of Suiyuan.
Qian Yuan smiled, thought for a moment, waved and said, "Put the box in the box size of the A, and then ask the young lady to bring the list."
