Chapter 957： Take a break

Chapter 957 Take a rest

On the day of Huo Mu, a lot happened. So much so that people felt a sense of alienation when they heard about it the next day.

First, after a small gathering in the Yan Mansion at noon yesterday, Zhao Wenhua took the opportunity to enter the Xiyuan to present the holy Baihua wine. Then, the holy hand asked Yan Song, "Why don't you let everyone enjoy such a worldly fairy wine and fine nectar";

Then, after Yan Song learned that the fairy wine referred to the Hundred Flowers Wine offered by Zhao Wenhua, he became furious and angrily drove Zhao Wenhua out of the Yan Mansion, broke up with Zhao Wenhua, and severed the relationship between father and son;

Then, I heard that in the evening, Yan Song rushed to Xiyuan to plead guilty, and replied to Emperor Jiajing's handwriting, saying: "I have never been close to the bait in my life, and I don't know why the longevity of dogs and horses is so good." The suspicion of the monarchs and ministers disappeared;

Later, I heard that in the evening, Zhao Wenhua bribed the concierge of Yan's mansion, so he had to enter Yan's mansion to beg Mrs. Yan, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Yan, weeping bitterly, repenting, and seeing this, Mrs. Yan felt pity for Zhao Wenhua. Interceding in front of Yan Song made Yan Song forgive Zhao Wenhua, withdraw his words of severance with Zhao Wenhua, and settle the suspicion.

In addition to this, there is another piece of news that Zhu Pingan has impeached someone again, and the impeached person is still the commander of Xicheng Bingmasi.

In other words, does Zhu Pingan have a grudge against the Commander of Xicheng Bingmasi? The previous commander of the Xicheng army and horses, Zhao Daying, was beheaded by Zhu Pingan's impeachment. This Xicheng army and horse commander had only been in office for more than a month, and was impeached by Zhu Pingan again.

Zhu Pingan's impeachment this time has a greater impact than the last impeachment of Zhao Daying.

Because Gao Botai, the commander of the Xicheng soldiers and horses who was impeached by Zhu Pingan, has an unusual relationship with the Yan Mansion, much stronger than Zhao Daying's relationship with the Yan Mansion. Gao Botai has an aunt who has been working in the Yan Mansion for several years Yan Shifan's liaison girl was pregnant some time ago, and was promoted by Yan Shifan not long ago to be an aunt. It was because of his aunt that Gao Botai was taken care of by Yan Shifan and became the commander of Xicheng Bingmasi.

In fact, according to the past practice, this kind of memorial related to the strict party did not reach Xiyuan so quickly. However, due to the rest yesterday, the left and right councilors of the Secretary of General Affairs rested at home. The seventh-rank governor whose relationship was transferred to the General Administration Department of the capital was not clear about the intertwined relations in the capital. He did not take seriously the memorial to impeach Gao Botai submitted by Zhu Pingan. Dozens of memorials accumulated at the beginning of the month were submitted to Xiyuan.

Coincidentally, after drinking Baihua wine yesterday, Emperor Jiajing, who was full of energy and hadn't vented himself completely, read the memorial presented by the Secretary of General Administration in the evening.

Thus, Zhu Ping'an's memorial book fell into the eyes of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing had a good impression of Zhu Pingan. From the case of Zhao Daying who killed a good man and pretended to be meritorious, to the Taicang theft case, Zhu Pingan left a deep impression on Emperor Jiajing.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing also attached great importance to Zhu Pingan's impeachment. Moreover, the matter of the Xuanfu and the two towns of Datong mentioned in Zhu Pingan's memorabilia was related to the border defense plan of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jiajing attached great importance to it.

When he saw the farmland being invaded by the generals, Emperor Jiajing was furious. No wonder the food and military salaries at the border were often in urgent need, which caused me to take out so many gold and silver subsidies from my private treasury. It turned out that these big rats came out!

Farming is one of the main expenses for maintaining food and salaries for the frontier army. The imperial court allocated land as farmland, which was cultivated by military households and peasant households. Part of the harvest was left for military households and peasant households, and the rest was used to support the army. The army can be supported without spending money. Tuntian has always been a system that Emperor Jiajing admired very much. But now, there is a general like Gao Botai, who dares to occupy the farmland regardless of the life and death of the army and military households! Take Tuntian as your own! Tuntian has become private, so where is the harvest handed over to support the army!

In Xuanfu and Datong, apart from the Gao Botai mentioned in Zhu Ping's memorabilia, were there any other generals who invaded and occupied the fields?

What about other places?

How many farms have these rats occupied? !

Emperor Jiajing was furious immediately. Of course, Emperor Jiajing could not just listen to Zhu Pingan's one-sided words. After reading the memorial, Emperor Jiajing sent someone to summon Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, into Xiyuan regardless of the night, and ordered him to go to the Xuanfu overnight. , Datong secretly investigated the matter.

After that, Emperor Jiajing acted vigorously and ordered Huang Jin to send Dongchang Tiqi to arrest Gao Botai overnight. He was charged with dereliction of duty and abuse of power and framing a superior official, and Gao Botai was imprisoned. After the occupation of Tuntian, he will be interrogated together with the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials and other departments.

This incident happened late at night, and by the time people got the news, it was already the next morning.

Yan Song and his son got the news earlier than the others. Not long after Gao Botai was arrested by Dongchang late last night, they had already got the news.

"Hehe. I didn't expect that Zhu Pingan, who impeached Gao Botai yesterday, would sit at the table with me and drink like a normal person. If I had known, I should have poured him to death yesterday." After Yan Shifan got the news, he was furious. smiled.

"Donglou, this is an extraordinary period, you don't want to cause more trouble. Apart from asking about the matter of immortal wine, the handwritten letter from the Holy Majesty may also mean to beat me." After Yan Song heard the news that Gao Botai was impeached and sent to prison , calmly, without changing his face, squinted his eyes and glanced at Yan Shifan, exhorting.

"Father, don't worry, I'll save you. The Holy Majesty is still the same as before, with more cleverness." Yan Shifan nodded, and recklessly commented on Emperor Jiajing, but soon Yan Song gave him a serious look. Yan Shifan shrank his neck, Then he cursed while venting: "Gao Botai is a fool, I told him a long time ago that the capital is no better than a frontier fortress, and if he is an official here, he will put away the frontier soldier's routine for me, and he must keep his head down and do things in a muffled voice." Getting rich, but, hehe, just like the one in my room, it’s a thing that mud can’t support the wall.”

"Gao Botai's matter, speaking of it, is his own fault, but how did Zhu Pingan know about Gao Botai's occupation of the village?" Yan Song stroked his beard, looked at Yan Shifan and asked.

"I'm also surprised at this point." Yan Shifan frowned slightly, and then clapped his hands again, "I remembered that Zhu Ping'an took in a few hunters at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain in the north, which is not far from Xuanfu Datong. It was they who had heard about Gao Botai and told Zhu Pingan."

"Well, there is a possibility." Yan Song nodded.

"Zhu Ping'an doesn't think much of us. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. With Gao Botai's character, when he learned of Zhu Ping'an's identity in front of the prison in Shuntian Mansion, he would definitely treat me like that. Zhu Pingan told Zhu Pingan about his relationship. But Zhu Pingan didn’t ask us, and directly impeached Gao Botai.” Yan Shifan was still brooding about Zhu Pingan’s impeachment of Gao Botai, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"If you want to talk about this matter, you can't blame Zihou." Yan Song frowned slightly.

Think about it, a number one scholar who became famous at a young age and won the championship before he reached the weak crown, was promoted all the way to the fifth rank, but was thrown a stone by a brat while he was reading and practicing calligraphy in the morning by the river, and he was not beaten or scolded My child, I asked my parents to discipline me in a good manner, but I didn't expect that the parents, who are the sixth-rank officials, were bound to the Shuntian Mansion Prison in the name of an accomplice of theft. Who can bear this? ! Zhu Pingan's impeachment is reasonable and understandable.

Yan Shifan also understands this truth, but it’s still the same sentence, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. It’s okay for Zhao Daying last time, but this time again? !

"Father, I know you cherish talents, but there is a lesson from the past. Cao Cao also cherished Zhao Yun when he was on Changban slope." Yan Shifan flattened his mouth.

"I am not Cao Cao, nor is Zhu Pingan Zhao Yun." Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan, dissatisfied that Yan Shifan compared him to the treacherous minister Cao Cao.

"Hehehe, Dad, of course you are not Cao Cao anymore, you are always Zhuge Kongming alive" Yan Shifan laughed.

"Not in shape." Yan Song cursed with a smile, and then told Yan Shifan sternly, "I am old, but I am not confused. I have my own opinion on Zhu Pingan's place. You should wipe your own **** first."
