One eye was wide open, but the other eyelid drooped. Not only was it one eye, but the fat man also had one leg that was limp, and his left leg looked thinner than his right leg.

"Dad, were you impeached by Wei Zheng's mad dog today?"

Hearing Yan Song's footsteps entering the door, the fat fat man Yan Shifan asked without raising his head.

"That's the case, Xiao Prime Minister, but Yan Prime Minister is not only fine, but his Majesty gave him money and gained a reputation!" Yan Maoqing replied with a smile on his face.

However, then he changed his voice and said helplessly: "But, Wei Zheng came to flirt with Yan Xiang's tiger beard repeatedly, but this time he still let him escape. Yan Xiang is so kind."

Yan Song didn't say anything, sat back on the table and picked up an ordinary white porcelain teacup on the table and took a sip.

Yan Shifan sneered and shook his fan a few times: "Jingqing, you think too much, how easy is to deal with Wei Zheng?"

Jingqing is the name of Yan Maoqing.

"At the court meeting a few days ago, he got rid of everyone in the court and broke away, let alone today."

Yan Maoqing said helplessly: "Little Prime Minister, wasn't it that Duke Tang and Yan Xiang who helped Wei Zheng escape the siege?"

"This time he impeached Yan Xiangyu and Lord. The military officers could not participate, and Yan Xiang naturally would not help Wei Zheng anymore. Then..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Shifan was a little impatient. He waved his hand: "If my father doesn't help him, will there be no one else helping him? Are you a decorative person who is Heshen, Qin Hui?"

"Besides, even if no one speaks for Wei Zheng, then His Majesty will insist on not punishing him!"

"This..." Yan Maoqing's expression stagnated.

But Yan Shifan did not pause. He shook his fan and continued, "Jingqing, if you were the emperor and there was such a person in the court, all the civil and military officials in the court didn't like him, and they wanted to get rid of him quickly, would you deal with him?"

Yan Maoqing only thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How is it possible..."

Isn’t the emperor’s favorite minister?

Opposing the civil and military officials in the court means that he will not have any possibility of forming a clique for personal gain. The emperor guaranteed that he was too late, so how could he deal with him?

"If this matter is bad, you are too anxious that day!"

Yan Shifan was slim on the wide red sandalwood chair, folded the fan with a whisper, pointed at Yan Maoqing and said, "I want to deal with Wei Zheng, take it slowly, and do it privately, but there are many tricks!"

"But when he impeached that day, you all jumped out impatiently. Even if the emperor is a fool, he can't tell what's right!"

"You won't really treat him as a fool, are you?"

Yan Shifan's words were not polite at all, as if he was scolding his subordinates, but Yan Maoqing had no resentment on his face, and just listened with a wry smile.

On the other side, Yan Song couldn't listen anymore. He put down the teacup and coughed heavily: "Donglou."

Yan Shifan opened his mouth, feeling a little unhappy on his face, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Yan Song sighed, turned to Yan Maoqing with a wry smile: "Jingqing, I didn't say it before, I thought you could figure it out."

"The former emperor did not like government affairs before, so you have little experience in dealing with the emperor. It's not your fault. But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, you say this again. I feel that I must remind you."

Yan Maoqing's face immediately turned a little solemn, and he lowered his head and said, "The Lord is careful to listen to the lessons of the Stern."

Yan Song stared at him and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Don't go against His Majesty at any time."

"Ah?" Yan Maoqing raised his head in shock and widened his eyes.

Yan Song was not surprised to see his reaction, leaned forward, and repeated this sentence again: "Don't go against His Majesty at any time."

Yan Maoqing opened his mouth and had countless questions in his heart. But he still lowered his head deeply and bowed, "The emperor will remember the teachings of the strict emperor in his heart."

Yan Shifan stood up, with a little playful look in his eyes, and shook the fan with a huff: "Jingqing, you still don't agree. But think about it carefully, even if you can achieve what you think today, can Wei Zheng be dismissed from office?"

"If Qin Hui, Yan Song, and even Heshen don't speak for him, who can do it again?"

"He is not a little official, he is a first-rank imperial envoy! He is the same rank as my father, the left prime minister! If the emperor opposes it, who can dismiss a first-rank official?"

Yan Maoqing was stunned.

Yan Shifan continued: "You want to dismiss Wei Zheng, but the emperor does not agree. In this way, the court will inevitably fall into a stalemate."

"If someone supports you, the emperor will not lose because of this. But if someone with a strong voice supports the emperor, you will definitely be defeated!!"

"You think the military officers will not participate, but have you forgotten that Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, was not only a military officer, but also a royal family member?"

"If you use your power to threaten the emperor, he will have a reason to stand up! At that time, the internal struggle between civil officials will become civil officials who use their power to persuade the emperor. Do you guess those military officers are willing to penetrate and step on you?"

"this……"

Yan Maoqing stuttered and his forehead was already sweating.

If the military officers sat with the emperor's butt, then they would definitely not have any good results.

Yan Song sighed helplessly: "Jingqing, your mistake is that you regard Your Majesty as a minister of the same identity as us. Seeing that he has no power in his hands, he does not value Your Majesty."

"But you have to know that even if Your Majesty has no power, he is His Majesty. He is the most special in the court. You can make anyone hate you, but you can't let Your Majesty hate you."

"Since Your Majesty has a good impression of Wei Zheng, we cannot target Wei Zheng, otherwise it will cause His Majesty to be disgusted. At the court meeting today, I took the initiative to propose not to pursue Wei Zheng's responsibility, which is why I am willing to do so."

Yan Maoqing wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "Yes, Yan Xiang's every move has a deep meaning, and the subordinate officials have received the guidance."

"Okay, when you see Hanzhang, just say my father's words to him." Yan Shifan sat back on the chair again, shaking the fan.

Hanzhang is the word Luo Longwen.

"Yes, my little prime minister, I will tell you about Lord Luo and all my colleagues as soon as possible." Yan Maoqing immediately bowed his hand to respond.

But as soon as they finished speaking, they heard footsteps coming from the courtyard outside.

Yan Nian, the chief steward of Yan's mansion, came outside the door and bowed his head and replied: "Master, Lord Luo is here."

"When it comes to Hanzhang, Hanzhang is here." Yan Song chuckled: "Come in quickly."

"Yes." Yan Nian responded, and then the door of the study was opened. Luo Longwen, dressed in a big red official uniform, walked in from outside the door, with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Yan Xiang, the lower official has met Yan Xiang, little prime minister."

"Well, Han Zhang comes here and have a tea!" Yan Song waved his hand and smiled again on his face.

"Thank you Yanxiang."

Luo Longwen sat at the table and said without even touching the tea: "Yan Xiang, I went to the palace with the lord just now. When I came out, I was still sitting on my shoulder carriage!"
