Chapter 37 Heshen: You can name me directly!

Li Qian raised his eyebrows and realized the deep meaning of these words.

Put Wei Zheng and these people together, and if we don't punish them, we won't punish Wei Zheng.

Can Li Qian accept this result?

Of course!

It simply can’t be done anymore!

Li Qian said that his original intention with those words just now was to disgust Yan Song and the civil servants of the Yan Party, and he did not intend to really punish them.

And he can't punish him.

But why did Yan Song take some safe people in exchange for Wei Zheng not being punished?

Are you showing kindness to Wei Zheng? Or are you showing kindness to yourself?

After thinking for a while, Li Qian still said with emotion: "The strict Prime Minister is so noble and upright, he is really the humerus of the country!"

"Since Prime Minister Yan has forgiven them, I will let them go!"

All the officials from the strict party were overjoyed and knelt down to worship: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, and thank you so much, Prime Minister Yan!"

Wei Zheng saw all this, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth unwillingly, but then he became discouraged.

He also knew that the reason why His Majesty compromised must also be to protect himself.

"Alas~"

Wei Zheng sighed quietly.

Your Majesty, there is no need to care about your ministers!

Why should I cherish this life if I eliminate traitors for my country?

The officials couldn't hear Wei Zheng's inner monologue, their attention was all attracted by Yan Song in front of them.

He slowly stood up, took off his official robe, handed over his crimson silk robe, and fluttered his wings with the colorful embroidered crane patch unique to first-rank officials.

Li Qian also stared at Yan Song curiously. Could it be that he really wears patched clothes on weekdays?

The collar of the official robe was untied, and Yan Song slowly took it off. All the officials' eyes widened.

Underneath the splendid robe, there is actually a cyan undershirt that is fully patched!!

One piece, two pieces...

Just on the back, there are four patches, large and small!

The ministers were dumbfounded and looked at this scene in shock.

Why does Prime Minister Yan do this??

Li Qian also looked at Yan Song in surprise. The green shirt had been washed white, and there were three patches on the chest. The stitching was fine, and the edges of the sleeves were frayed. It looked a bit tattered, but overall it looked very clean.

"Prime Minister Yan..."

Li Qian looked at him with some emotion, and there was a little moisture in his eyes: "Prime Minister Yan works hard to run the country, why do you need to be so simple and austere?"

The civil servants were also moved beyond control, and Yan Party officials were moved to tears and cried: "I have never seen such an honest minister as Prime Minister Yan..."

When Wei Zheng saw this, his face turned red and his body trembled.

Is there any justice for someone who is so greedy to be considered an incorruptible minister? Isn't this just pretense?

As the left prime minister, one year's salary is enough for him to live and clothe himself!

What's more, his son Yan Shifan still has so many properties and is extravagant every day!

The cost of food and clothing is huge!

But who would have thought that his father was wearing patched clothes!

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth angrily. If he was asked to deal with Yan Song's family, he would definitely beat Yan Shifan to death first!

At the top, Li Qian was still looking at Yan Song with emotion: "Xiang Yan has worked hard to help the country and made great contributions. No matter what, I can't let you wear these clothes!"

"Publish my decree and immediately grant Prime Minister Yan a thousand pieces of gold and hundreds of pieces of cloth to subsidize the family!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked.

Yan Song was also startled, and then hurriedly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I will not receive any reward for my merits. I just abide by my duties as an official, and I will be rewarded rashly. I am terrified..."

Li Qian waved his hand: "It goes without saying, Prime Minister Yan, I'll give it to you, just take it, put on your robe and get up!"

All Yan Song's words were blocked, and he could only pause again and bow respectfully: "I thank your Majesty for your grace."

Only then did the courtiers react and looked at the pair of monarchs and ministers stupidly.

Today is really outrageous. His mother opened the door for outrageous things. It’s outrageous.

The emperor wanted to reward the Prime Minister without any explanation. He would just pay the reward from the treasury.

Who is in charge of the treasury?

Tobe!

Who is in charge of the household department?

Of course it’s Prime Minister Yan!

With the ability of Prime Minister Yan, he has already managed the state treasury almost as well as his own private treasury!

Now this kind of reward, isn't it just the left hand giving the right hand?

However, the officials did not feel bad. Instead, they all looked at Yan Song's back with envy.

Even Qin Hui and Cai Jing frequently looked at him sideways.

Although Yan Song was in charge of the treasury, there was a big difference between what the emperor rewarded and what he took!

Despite his high position and authority, he still lived a poor life and wore patched clothes, so he was rewarded with money by His Majesty to support his family.

This is simply perfect!

If word spreads, who in the capital will not know his name, Yan Song?

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Yan Song slowly stood up.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but they felt that Yan Xiang's body seemed a little lighter, as if he was about to float.

I saw him slowly put on his official robe, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have one more request. I dare to ask your Majesty for permission."

Li Qian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Yan, just say so."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yan Song lowered his head and said slowly: "Master Wei's impeachment of the ministers and Master He this time is also to maintain the integrity of the court, eliminate the long-standing shortcomings, speak out impartially, and the intention is good."

He Shen beside him trembled.

Yan Song continued: "Although the words of Mr. Wei's impeachment minister and Mr. He are untrue, I still hope that your majesty will not punish Mr. Wei, and let all officials follow Mr. Wei as an example and explain the pros and cons."

"Only in this way will the government become better and better, and all officials will become more honest."

"Although Lord Chen and He were impeached, if Your Majesty can put public service first and deal with Lord Chen and He, when other ministers are impeached again in the future, who else can escape the blame at will?"

Li Qian was startled.

After listening to these words, he didn't notice the content of Yan Song's words. He only felt that three words kept ringing in his ears.

With the adults...with the adults...with the adults...

Next to Yan Song, He Shen, who had his head lowered, was about to cry without tears. He was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Three words are inseparable from you, sir?

Are you asking Your Majesty to put public service first and deal with you and me?

You wear patched clothes when riding horses, and you are immediately sanctified in court. How should I deal with you?

Doesn’t the underlying meaning behind these words mean that you want to deal with me?

The officials also looked at Yan Song's back with strange expressions.

Good fellow, you just got away and you slipped Master Yan out?

If it weren't for these words, they would have almost forgotten about He Shen, but now they completely remembered him.

Many party officials have a hint of resentment on their faces.

Prime Minister Yan, what you did is not very authentic!

When they excused you just now, we didn't add insult to injury. Now you just climbed out of the well and turned around and poured mud into it?

"With my lord..."

Li Qian murmured and subconsciously turned his gaze to He Shen on the other side.

Mr. and I were covered in mud and were in such a state of embarrassment.

At this moment, his body trembled, he raised his head, and a smile that was uglier than crying appeared on his fat face: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
