In the room, sandalwood rose up.

As Yan Song moved his post as the chief minister, Jiajing finally stopped being stingy and rewarded Yan Song with the best sandalwood, and Yan Song could finally smell the long-lost sandalwood.

Yan Song sighed lightly, no longer obsessed with this topic, but he sighed as if he was heartbroken, "After I left, Wu Shujing is in danger!"

"Why did Master Ge say this?" Lin Xuran asked seriously.

Yan Song received the ginseng tea sent by Yan Nian, and said earnestly: "Xu Huating is different from me. He is more ambitious than me! In order to please the emperor and for my status, I will kill me.

Yang Jisheng and Shen Lian?" After a pause, he said again: "Xu Jie not only wants the emperor's favor, but also the support of all officials. Your father-in-law is his biggest threat!"

"My father-in-law did not get the favor of the emperor, and his official position was not as good as that of Yuan Ge Lao and Guo Shangshu. Why were he the biggest threat to Xu Ge Lao?" Lin Qingran asked seriously.

"Wu Yuejing was the Tanhualang of the 14th year of Jiajing. He has the deepest qualifications and is unmatched in the current officialdom!" Yan Song used a teapot to gently lift the tea, looked up at Lin Qingran and asked, "If the head of the world is now,

The supplement is recommended by all officials. Do you think it is recommended by all officials or your father-in-law?”

Lin Junran was silent immediately. Xu Jie had a good reputation in later generations, but he was not very high at the moment.

Xu Jie was not an orthodox poet. He returned to the center of power in the Ming Dynasty thanks to the promotion of Xia Yan and Yan Song. He himself exchanged the emperor's favor with the Qing Ci.

Especially after ten years in the cabinet, Xu Jie has always been Yan Song's follower, and he often follows the emperor for sacrificial activities, even if his students are in prison, they will not be rescued.

In addition, in order to rebuild the Wanshou Palace, Xu Jie spent a lot of national funds to rebuild the Wanshou Palace in order to cater to the emperor, instead of persuading the emperor to return to Da Nei or move to Nangong.

Such all kinds of bad actions are considered good compared to Wu Shan, who dares to speak out directly.

"Whether it is because your father-in-law threatens Xu Jie's position or Xu Jie wants to win over some people's hearts, your father-in-law has become an obstacle!" Yan Song took a sip of tea and concluded seriously.

Lin Qingran knew that Yan Song was right, but he still responded calmly: "My father-in-law has always been with Xu Ge Lao Jingshui, and I'm afraid he can't do anything to my father-in-law!"

Yan Song held the teacup and gently pulled the tea, looked up at Lin Qiran and suddenly said, "I asked you ignorantly, what do you think if you want Hu Niu to marry Xu Jie's grandson as a concubine?

"Swords facing each other!" Lin Weiran's brows frowned slightly, and immediately responded with obvious murderous thoughts.

Yan Song sighed and said, "So at this point, you are far from comparable to Xu Jie! Xu Jie is a person who can achieve his goal and do whatever he wants. In order to win the trust of me, he married his granddaughter to me.

My Qing'er is a concubine!" After a pause, he continued, "Don't say that the well water does not interfere with the river water. As long as Wu Yuejing is still in the court for one day, then Xu Jie will definitely get rid of it quickly!"

Lin Weiran realized that people like Xu Jie were indeed terrible. Yan Shifan would scream a few times when he bit people, but people like Xu Jie were using secret tricks. If he was not careful, he might be stabbed.

Yan Song took a sip of tea, but suddenly said regretfully: "Xu Jie intended to betroth his granddaughter to you back then. If you agreed, how could you have the worries of today!"

"this……"

Lin Qingran couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't blame him for this. He also knew that Xu Jie would replace Yan Song in the future, so he didn't want to take Wu Shan's boat at first, but deliberately hugged Xu Jie's thick thigh.

But why did the wild girl Hu Niu pick him up and give him a head. Although it was just the first step of the "Three Books and Six Rites", a sudden suspension may offend the Wu family.

At that time, he could not bear what he had just entered the officialdom.

Therefore, he pinched his nose and gave Najib to the Wu family, and then had no choice but to formally give a betrothal gift. It was by chance that he did not step onto the smooth boat of Xu Jie, but instead went on.

This broken ship in Wushan.

Yan Song handed the teacup to Yan Nian standing next to him, and said earnestly: "At present, you only have two ways. One is to surrender to Xu Jie, you take the initiative to leave the place to stay away from the place of right and wrong, and let your father-in-law live his own life.

Destroy yourself; second, form a faction, try your best to form an alliance between Yuan Wei, Guo Pu and others, and resist Xu Jie together!"

Lin Qingran looked at Yan Song deeply and finally understood Yan Song's thoughts.

Even if he returned to his hometown in Jiangxi, he would give him some eye drops. If he fought with Xu Jie with real swords and guns, it would give Yan Party a more chance to breathe, and Yan Party could even benefit from it.

However, even though he knew this, he had to carefully consider whether to take the initiative to surrender to Xu Jie or to unite all forces to deal with Xu Jie's open and secret arrows.

The station tonight is more lively than usual, but as the late night arrives, it slowly returns to tranquility.

The next morning, at the Tongzhou Guanchuan Pier.

Cai Yuncheng led dozens of officials to the official boat dock to see him off, and waited at the dock early in the morning.

Yan Song's resignation and Yan Shifan's imprisonment made them face the dilemma of being without a leader. After last night's conclusion, everyone planned to form a group and advance and retreat together to deal with the purge after Xu Jie stepped down.

Surrounded by the Jinyiwei, Yan Song's sedan chair came to the dock, which made Cai Yuncheng and others very excited.

Yan Song was not happy to see these people off, but the other party insisted on doing so, and he could not drive away these hard-core confidants. Facing these loyal subordinates, he also said goodbye to them one by one, and then he got on the way.

An official ship parked by the dock.

"Gei Master Yan, please take care of yourself!"

Whether sincere or false, Cai Yuncheng and other officials waved affectionately to Yan Song on the boat.

Yan Song stood on the deck and looked at the Tongzhou Wharf that was gradually moving away. Tears slowly overflowed, and some messy thoughts surged into his heart.

He remembered that when he was nineteen years old, he was still a full-minded scholar. His first time in Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, he got off the boat here, hoping to be able to get a prize in the list and to show his ambitions.

It’s just that time flies, the old Zhenyuan book.

Although this dock is still familiar, he has wasted a full sixty-two years from that ambitious young juren in the blink of an eye and turned into an eighty-three-year-old retired prime minister.

Now that I leave here, I will be farewell forever, and there will be no day to come back. What awaits him is the old bone burying his hometown.

"Let's go back!"

Lin Qingran also arrived at the dock early in the morning to see Yan Song off, but did not come to Cai Yuncheng, nor did he choose to show up at the dock, and no one even knew that he had been there. After seeing Yan Song on the deck, he could not see clearly.

He also decided to return to Beijing, intending to go back to face the more complicated political situation and Xu Shoufu after he came to power.

Yan Song's departure is an end, but it is also a new beginning.

Beijing City is still prosperous.
Chapter completed!
