Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and had to admit that they had never thought of this.
But after listening to Yan Shifan's explanation, they all felt a sudden realization. This is IQ crushing, Donglou, it’s great to have you.
"Father, if you have the opportunity to see Wanzai's daily life notes in a few days, you can confirm my guess. I guess that after Xiao Feng brought people into the palace, Wanzai must have summoned all the people to sleep in the palace. An older concubine!" The emperor's daily notes were originally not allowed to be read by anyone except the historian, including the chief minister.
Earlier, even the emperor himself could not read it. Historians would record whatever you had done, and it would be of no use to you. It would only increase your worries.
But since the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin got off to a bad start. He wanted to be a wise king praised by all generations, so he insisted on watching the living notes.
As expected, he got angry at first sight and forced the historian to delete or correct the bad records. Although no one knows whether the historian withstood the pressure in the end, starting from Li Shimin, it became an unspoken rule that the emperor's daily life could be read by the emperor.
Of course, its authority as historical data is greatly compromised. But even so, the daily notes are definitely not visible to foreign ministers.
The only reason Yan Song could see was that Jiajing usually lived in Xiyuan, and the management in the palace was relatively loose.
And Yan Song was very powerful and had some connections in the palace. He spent a lot of money, so even if he couldn't see the original text, it would still be no problem to listen to the narration.
Yan Song didn't need to read the daily notes and absolutely believed his son's words. Because my son has always been the most intelligent person in the world.
Although Yan Shifan failed to take advantage in several duels with Xiao Feng since Xiao Feng's debut, Yan Song naturally believed that his son's performance was abnormal and Xiao Feng's extraordinary performance.
My son has always been ranked first in the exams. Suddenly a new student appeared and started to fight over my son's position. How can I explain this?
That must be my son's abnormal performance. That kid's performance is extraordinary. Do you still need to ask? Although Zhao Wenhua also admired Yan Shifan, his IQ was one level lower than Yan Song, so he could not immediately understand the meaning of Yan Shifan's words.
"Donglou, we believe what you said, but I still don't understand what weaknesses and loopholes we have seized on Xiao Feng?" Yan Song shook his head and looked at his godson helplessly.
Yan Shifan was in a good mood today, but he did not mock Zhao Wenhua.
"This is not simple. Xiao Feng wants to change Long Live's taste and is doing something risky and useless. The only explanation is his humanity and kindness. Xiao Feng's mind is fast enough, he has enough schemes, and he is shameless enough. Hou is the most difficult person I have ever encountered so far, and is also the most troublesome enemy of our strict party. If he is cruel enough, then he has no weakness. Unfortunately, he just can't do it. Being humane and kind means that he will never be my opponent!" Both Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua were silent. This was the first time they heard such a high evaluation of a person from Yan Shifan.
It turns out that Yan Shifan's usual disdain for Xiao Feng was just an act, but deep down he valued Xiao Feng so much that he even felt guilty.
Yan Shifan's analysis is not wrong at all. A person with humanity and kindness is indeed a fatal weakness in political-struggle.
But for some reason, both Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua felt a little unhappy. Very few bad people will admit that they are completely bad people. They will find some of their bright spots to prove that they are not completely bad.
For example, the mutual understanding between Yan Song and his wife, for example, Zhao Wenhua would punish one or two shoddy projects from time to time. Of course, he was not paid, but after all, he was considered a hard worker.
So for them to admit that they revel in finding humanity and kindness in their opponents means that they don't have those things themselves, and that's not a happy thing.
Only Yan Shifan admitted without blushing that he did not have these things and was proud of them. Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua quickly found their emotional sustenance point: We should be happy because we have such impeccable thighs as Yan Shifan, not because we are inhumane and kind-hearted.
So the two quickly became happy and asked their servants to come out to serve wine and congratulate Yan Shifan on his upcoming victory.
While drinking and celebrating in Yan's mansion, Xiao Feng was also drinking in the mansion. The guest in front of him was Zhang Tianci, and Zhang Tianci was already a little drunk.
Zhang Tianci came here after drinking at Chunyan Tower. His buddy collected another bag of chili peppers from the coast for him. He was originally anxious to deliver it to Xiao Feng, but he was pulled away by Chunyan Tower's carriage halfway.
Chunyan Tower was closed for one day, and it was claimed to be for internal renovation, but in fact it was a banquet to celebrate Yan Niang. Not only the people from Chunyan Building, but also the mothers from other famous buildings and Goulan buildings in the capital came.
I don’t know if this happened in history, from being a brothel mother to being promoted to being a master of a brothel. Because no historian will have time to count such trivial matters.
But as far as these brothel girls know, there has never been such a thing. Their greatest future is if someone is willing to spend money to redeem themselves and become good concubines.
But there is a difference between being a good person and being a good person. People like Hua Girl are not sin slaves themselves, but they are forced to sell their bodies and sign contracts due to their family life when they were young.
As long as enough money is paid and the contract holder is willing to cancel the contract, he will naturally be free and can have children for Hu Zongxian and have someone to rely on in his old age.
For people like Yan Niang, the only way is to work hard to become a mother and run a life in a brothel.
Because her slave status is a sin slave, and the slave status of a sin slave is controlled by the government, and the final approval power belongs to the emperor.
If a sin slave wants to get rid of his slave status, he must spend a lot of money to work in the government, but he may not be able to do so in the end.
So can someone with a slave status be a concubine? Yes, but you'd better not have children. Because no matter what the status of your good master is, as long as you are still a slave, the children you give birth to will still be slaves and cannot be masters.
Therefore, a brothel girl with a slave background is either destined to be a long-term plaything of the master's family. She has a conscience to provide for you in old age, but she has no conscience and just throws you out when you are old and lustful.
Either the eldest lady in the family is infertile, but she doesn't want her husband to take a concubine seriously, which would threaten her status.
So he spent money to redeem a slave girl from a brothel and give birth to a son to her husband. When the concubine was pregnant, not only could she not let the outside world know, but she also had to wear loose clothes and work around to prove that she was not pregnant.
But the eldest lady, who has nothing to do, will hold her stomach and scream every day, sometimes eating sour food, sometimes eating spicy food.
After the concubine gives birth to the child, she will be taken away by the eldest lady and said that she gave birth to the child. Not only will the concubine not resist, she will also be willing and grateful.
Because if the child is one's own, he will remain a slave for the rest of his life. The eldest lady took it away, and this child will be the master from now on.
Even if he never knew that his own mother was actually the slave concubine. Moreover, such concubines rarely survive until their children grow up.
It's not necessarily the eldest lady who did the murder, but she hid the pregnancy. In addition, after the birth, in order to show that she was not pregnant, she had to do various tasks as usual, so it was easy to get sick.
And when I got sick during confinement, I didn't dare to call a doctor for fear of exposing my secret. With the person's physical condition at that time, he would definitely have a narrow escape.
Therefore, it is a great joy for Yan Niang to get rid of her slave status, and it is even more joyful to be promoted to a teacher. It would be unjust not to celebrate properly.
In this case, as half the boss, Zhang Tianci must be present. Xiao Feng was supposed to be invited, but Xiao Feng told Yan Niang in advance that he couldn't go. As for why, don't ask.
Yan Niang had been trained by Xiao Feng in the car that day and she understood deeply that if Xiao Feng didn't want to explain something, then don't ask why.
why? Well, you still dare to ask, do I need to tell you the rules again? Zhang Tianci naturally sat at the head table and was the only man at the table upstairs.
Because although there are teapots, thugs, boys, coachmen and other men in Chunyan Tower, they are all not worthy of having a table upstairs. They must be in the corner downstairs.
Yan Niang specially arranged for Miss Shui to sit next to Zhang Tianci and take care of her. Knowing that Zhang Tianci had a good drinker, she coaxed all the mothers to join in the toast.
Zhang Tianci's red sleeves were filled with wine, his eyes were dazzled by the beauty, the subtle fragrance floated, and the flesh was hidden and the flesh was revealed. He sighed in his heart, let alone me, even the eldest brother couldn't bear it when the occasion came!
Zhang Tianci, who couldn't bear it anymore, had not forgotten his business. He was so drunk that he asked Lao Che to send him and the bag to Xiao's house. He took Xiao Feng's hand and said that Yan Niang had entrusted him to him again and again, and asked him to pay her respects. Xiao Feng has three glasses of wine, otherwise he will feel uneasy.
Xiao Feng had been busy for a few days and was a little tired. He wanted to have a drink or two, so he smiled and helped Zhang Tianci into the house and asked Qiao Niang to get some food and wine.
Zhang Yunqing ran out immediately when Qiao Niang said that his father was going to drink with Xiao Feng. First, I haven't seen my father for a few days, and second, I finally have the opportunity to come to Xiao Feng openly.
Usually when I want to find Xiao Feng, I always use the excuse of looking for wealth. But since Wangcai secretly took the Jingxin Pill, he was still frightened by Xiao Feng's anger, and it became increasingly difficult to rush to Xiao Feng's house.
Twice, in order to drive Wangcai into Xiao Feng's house, she and Wang Yingxiang made Wangcai jump up and down, whine, and almost let Qiaoqiao see the truth.
Now that my father is here, what a God-given opportunity! It was time to go see Xiao Feng openly, leaving only Wang Yingxiang with a sad look on her face.
Qiaoqiao was very confused: "Sister Yingxiang, why are you looking unhappy when Uncle Zhang is here? Do you miss Uncle Wang too?" Wang Yingxiang nodded. She did miss her father. Dad, why are you so ignorant? , I haven’t come to see Brother Xiao for several days!
They are both fathers, so why is the gap so big? After Zhang Tianci had served Xiao Feng three glasses of wine, he was already lying on the table. No matter what Xiao Feng said, he always responded with a big tongue and a vague answer.
"Brother is right!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile when he looked at Zhang Tianci and the bag of chili peppers sitting under his butt like he was a treasure.
"God-given, you are lucky to know me; I am lucky to know you. There are many things that I dare not say to anyone. I only dare to say them to you, so as not to hold back the disease in my heart. .”
"Big... brother is right!"
"Many things I do are very dangerous, so I don't want to tell my family, for fear that they will worry and they may not understand. As for Shen Lian and Qi Jiguang, there are also Lu Bing and the imperial court. They are in the court, I can’t help myself, and I can’t completely rest assured. It’s not a good thing for them or me if they know too much.”
"Big...big...brother is right!"
"I took the risk of bringing Yan Niang into the palace this time to change Long Live. At the same time, I also set a trap for Yan Dang. I guess, with Yan Shifan's brain, it is easy to guess my trap, but it doesn't matter. Because This trick is just trying to catch a rabbit. As long as it can change Long Live, it will be a great event with immeasurable merit."
"Big...big...big...brother is right!"
"If Yan Shifan was smarter, he would have discovered my weakness and found a way to deal with me." Zhang Tianci, who was already drunk, miraculously heard that Xiao Feng might be in danger.
He eagerly wanted to care, but it was only for a moment. He only hummed twice, and alcohol surrounded his mind again.
"But I bet, no matter how smart he is, he would never have imagined that besides humanity and kindness, I would take such a big risk and do this for a more important purpose. I'm not looking down on him, because he Unexpectedly, it has nothing to do with his IQ, but only with his humanity. The blind spot of his humanity determines that he cannot think of my purpose." This sentence contains too many elements that Zhang Tianci cannot understand, but Zhang Tianci still insists on speaking out. .
"Big...big...big...big brother is right!"
