Jiajing seemed startled by the noise and looked at Huang Jin. Huang Jin quickly picked up the telescope and accused him repeatedly.
Jiajing closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally spoke.
"I just saw you, Qing Yi, what should I do?"
Yan Song gritted his teeth. This was an excellent opportunity. He couldn't miss it when he passed by. At this time, he didn't care about showing off Zaifu's mind.
"Long live, Xiao Feng colludes with his cronies, relies on favor and is arrogant, his eyes are lawless, and his heart is to be punished. As the chief minister of the imperial court, I dare not avoid hatred and keep silent.
Xiao Feng deserves to be punished for his crime! "
This is the sky-high asking price. Yan Song knows that no matter what happened this time or the weight in Jiajing's heart, Xiao Feng cannot be killed.
But if his asking price is higher, Jiajing's counter-offer will be too low. After all, he is being bullied now and he must give an explanation.
Sure enough, Jiajing was in a dilemma. How should he repay the price? Judging from Yan Song's intention, at least he wants to fight it to the end, deprive him of his official status and never participate in politics. It is best for Daoist masters to get rid of them.
Jiajing had originally thought of a counteroffer strategy. Anyway, it didn't matter whether Xiao Feng was in charge or not, and it was not like he had never fucked before. This kid didn't listen to himself, which was indeed a bit hateful.
It is best to retain the Taoist Master. After all, cultivating the path to immortality depends on the junior disciple. If the Daoist Master is eliminated, the junior disciple's weight in the Taoist sect will be gone, and it will be difficult to mobilize resources. If it delays your path to immortality any longer, you will definitely not do it.
But the sound of the telescope falling to the ground just now changed Jiajing's mind. Xiao Feng's value does not just lie in Taoism. He can help the Ming Dynasty prosper its national destiny, and the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty will have a decisive effect on his own cultivation of immortality!
Therefore, Xiao Feng's official status cannot be lost. If he completely stays away from the court, he will become a purely technical talent. No matter how good he is, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty will not pay attention to this. People know better than emperors.
So... how to make Yan Song feel comfortable while also preserving Xiao Feng's chance? Looking at the fierce momentum of the officials outside the palace gate, although many of them were coerced, the majority were definitely on Yan Song's side. This was also a strange phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty. 33
The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have always valued face more than their name. Although Yan Dang is hateful, Yan Song is the chief assistant after all, the head of hundreds of officials, and the head of civil servants.
Xiao Feng, a Taoist disciple who was lucky enough to join the Taoist sect, colluded with unlearned guys like Jin Yiwei and Shuntian Mansion, and stepped on the face of the head of the civil service. It was really intolerable!
Of course, people like Zhang Juzheng would not think so, but he is still just a little sage, and his teacher Xu Jie has to stand obediently outside the gate of Xiyuan Palace as a cheerleader for Yan Song.
Jiajing thought about a few things in his mind, and finally spoke slowly, with a very friendly tone, but with a determination that would not allow for any further bargaining.
"My dear, you have been wronged in this matter. Xiao Feng is ignorant and should be punished! But Xiao Feng is a useful talent, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he should leave a trace of his intelligence.
The order was issued to remove all his official status, remove him from the status of the prince's tutor, and give him a good family background, so that he can participate in the spring period and compete with the scholars in the world on a fair basis. "
Yan Song was stunned. Jiajing's operation was something he didn't expect. He didn't know whether he should be satisfied or dissatisfied.
The basic purpose was achieved, and Xiao Feng lost his official status. This is completely different from the last time I was kicked out of Zhongshushe. Officials of the Ming Dynasty will basically not lose their official status as long as they are Jinshi.
Even if you are beaten to the bottom and kicked back to your hometown to farm, as long as the emperor is in a good mood, an imperial edict can be reused at any time. Because your official status is still there, but your official position is gone.
Some even offended the emperor so severely that the emperor was so angry that he added "never be hired" in the decree, which meant that as long as I live, you will never be an official in this life. But the emperor will often leave you with the last bit of dignity, that is, he will not emphasize deprivation of official status alone.
What is the use of an official position that can never be restored? it works! At least you don't have to pay taxes when you return home to farm. Landlords and gentry still have to salute and call you "Sir" when they see you.
You still sit at the front seat when eating, no one turns the table when picking up food, you don’t have to kneel down when attending court, and no one dares to be verbose when looking at anyone.
So Jiajing deprived Xiao Feng of the official status, and Yan Song was very satisfied. He was even more satisfied by eliminating the title of the two princes and teachers! This is also Yan Shifan's core purpose this time.
Yan Song is getting older and will probably be ahead of Jiajing, so Yan Song will definitely be fine for the rest of his life. But Yan Shifan was still young. After Jiajing left, it was hard to say what the new emperor would do to him!
Therefore, Yan Shifan wanted to invest in King Jing to ensure the prosperity of the Yan family for generations. This big chess game was originally played well, but it was messed up by Xiao Feng who came out halfway. Now it's time to regain the lost ground!
But Yan Song was also dissatisfied, that is, Jiajing retained Xiao Feng's real person Wenxuan, which ensured that Xiao Feng still had a high status and had amulets on his body.
Moreover, Jiajing also compared Yan Shifan and gave Xiao Feng a high status, allowing him to participate in the Spring Festival. This gave Xiao Feng a chance to show his talents again in the officialdom!
But Yan Song couldn't say anything about this, because Jiajing's tone and meaning were very obvious. Xiao Feng made a mistake, but your son didn't? Your son can retake the exam, and so can Xiao Feng. Are you afraid that your son will fail Xiao Feng's exam?
Out of absolute trust in his son's strength and daily contempt for Xiao Feng, an underachiever who performed exceptionally, Yan Song decided to accept this result and maintain the years of friendship and tacit understanding between him and Jiajing.
"Long live the sage, justice will be done. I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"
Jiajing also breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said some words of comfort, and asked Huang Jin to take out an old wild ginseng tree and give it to Yan Song, so that he could go home safely.
After Yan Song left, Jiajing looked at Huang Jin with a wry smile on his face.
"Huang Ban, it's up to you to arrange the matter of conveying the order to Xiao Feng. I hope he can understand my painstaking efforts."
Huang Jin held the brass telescope in his hand very naturally, with a respectful and admiring expression.
"Long Live has already made an exception to protect Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng is a smart man, how could he not be considerate of Long Live. Don't worry, Long Live, I only express my gratitude."
Sure enough, after receiving the order, Xiao Feng looked at the dejected guys around him and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong with you? Long Live has been kind to me. I originally thought that I might want to live in the World View and become a full-time Taoist priest.
Now I can still live with you, I just lost two identities, it’s not painful, it’s not a big deal, it’s not a big deal. "
Everyone was infected by Xiao Feng's emotions and slowly relaxed. Thinking about it, it is true that Xiao Feng's being an official is almost the same as not being an official. He neither sits in court nor is on duty. Then not being an official is the same as being an official!
"Of course it's different! This is definitely a big deal!"
Liu Tong slapped the table and roared, his momentum completely overwhelming his wife and daughter who tried to defend Xiao Feng, and he vented all the anger he had suffered over the past year.
"What do you women know? Don't you understand what an official body is? And where is the Imperial Master? The future Imperial Master is gone, has been fucked!
This little beast, I think he is so crazy! Sooner or later something will happen! Isn't it now? If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot! "
Seeing that his mother and sister didn't speak, Liu Peng couldn't help but speak.
"Dad, you don't seem to have said anything to Brother Xiao? Doesn't he listen to your old words?"
Liu Tong was speechless and slapped Liu Peng on the buttocks. Liu Peng burst into tears. Liu Xue quickly hugged Liu Peng and glared at his father.
"Whether he is an official, a citizen, an imperial master, or a Taoist priest, we have been engaged since childhood, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Tong was so angry that she pointed at her daughter, her fingers trembling as if she had a cerebral thrombosis. The lady couldn't stand it and couldn't help but support her daughter.
"Sir, although Xiao Feng has lost his official status, he is still a civil servant. Although he has lost his future as an imperial master, he is still Wenxuan. His family is rich. Why is he not worthy of his daughter?"
"A woman's opinion! Am I such a snobbish person? I..." Before he could finish his words, Liu Peng, who had just stopped crying and was still sobbing, whispered: "Yes."
Liu Tong was furious and slapped her again, causing Liu Peng's crying to continue again.
"I'm not snobbish! I'm just aware of the subtleties! You only see Xiao Feng's status. What I see is indeed the dangerous prospect of this boy!
It's okay for him to offend the strict party. There are many people who have offended the strict party in recent years. As long as he is willing to hold his nose and behave, it is not impossible to live. But what about him?
It would be better for him to offend him to death! Beat Zhao Er, kick Tan Xinren away, and suppress Zhao Wenhua! He took away Teacher Jing Wang’s identity, rubbed Yan Shifan’s official body, and even beat Yan Shifan in front of the court!
This is already a mortal enemy, and he still dares to come and search Yan's house! If I were Yan Song, I wouldn't let Xiao Feng leave Yan's mansion, I would have to capture him on the spot!
If Xueer follows him, her house may be confiscated and her family may be wiped out one day! Maybe it might even implicate the Nine Clans! Not to mention the nine tribes, even the three tribes can't stand it!
Husband clan, mother clan, wife clan, our family is the wife clan! "
Liu Tong's analysis is actually very reasonable, but he underestimated his wife and daughter's determination to protect Xiao Feng.
"Master, tell me, who can Xueer marry to ensure that our family will not be implicated? If you can choose a suitable one for me, I will support you!"
Liu Tong was overjoyed and didn't realize it was a trap.
"Zhang Zhang's son, he just won the Jinshi Scholarship and has a bright future!"
"Will you become an official?"
"That's for sure!"
"Is it a strict party?"
"...Well, his father is the one, so he probably is too..."
“Will Party Yan be implicated?”
"..."
Liu Tong knew that he had fallen into a trap. It is impossible for me to choose an ordinary citizen for my daughter. As long as it is an official's family, it is either a strict party or not a strict party.
If you are not a strict party, you may offend the strict party and be implicated; if you are a strict party, you must hope that nothing will happen to the strict party, otherwise you will also be implicated.
Liu Tong was so angry that he started to fight.
"If you don't talk about martial ethics, you...you can do it for yourself!"
Some people died, but not completely...
