Yan Shifan raised his head and looked at Xiao Feng. All the officials also looked at Xiao Feng. Jiajing's eyes widened again.
Does it prove that Yan Shifan wants to be emperor? Yan Shifan himself was a little confused. Whether before or after breaking his leg, he had never thought about becoming an emperor.
Because unless the entire Ming Dynasty is overthrown, no matter how many emperors and princes are killed, the person named Zhu will definitely be the emperor in the end.
His family was unlucky, and his father was not very ambitious. Instead of taking the surname Zhu, he chose the surname Yan. This also destined that it would be difficult for him to realize his ideal of becoming emperor.
Yan Shifan is not like Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin started from scratch and can only go to extremes. He will either rebel and succeed in becoming emperor, or he will always be a rebel and a bandit.
Yan Shifan was a dignified court official and the son of the chief minister, so there was no need for him to take such an extreme path. His ideal is to be a powerful minister like Cao Cao.
So now that Xiao Feng said he wanted to be the emperor, he even thought it was a bit funny. Can you prove something that I didn't even think about?
"Master Xiao is really good at alarmism. Tell me, how can you prove that I want to be the emperor?"
Xiao Feng took out a piece of paper from his arms. The paper was very large, and Xiao Feng opened it bit by bit. Everyone's eyes were focused on his hand, wondering what kind of letter it was.
But as the paper opened bigger and bigger, all the officials stretched their necks. This was not a letter, but a painting! To be precise, it is an extremely exquisite and realistic Feng Shui map!
"Long live this, this is a multi-angle map of Yan Shifan's old residence in Jiangxi. The surrounding mountains and rivers and the direction of the buildings in the residence are all marked in detail.
Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain visited the site in person and marked it on the map. The location of Yan Shifan's mansion hides the wind and collects water, and it captures the energy of the Nine Dragons. It suppresses the yellow dragon and raises the blue dragon. This is a rare imperial situation in the Yang Mansion! "
Like a thunder, Yan Shifan's whole body was numb. He was very aware of the viciousness of Xiao Feng's hand.
Although the theory of Feng Shui seems illusory, countless people have died unjustly due to this matter since ancient times! But the emperor couldn’t listen to this!
So Yan Shifan immediately retorted: "Impossible! When my house was built, I also asked someone to see it. Although it is a lucky place, it can never be an emperor's place!"
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "That's not what I said, it was what Zhang Tianshi said. When it comes to the way of being respected in the world, I'm afraid no one is more proficient than him."
Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and said: "You are known as the number one person in the Taoist sect and you are very close to Longhu Mountain. It is only natural for Zhang Tianshi to help you perjury!"
Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "You are such a bad person, and you look at everyone as a sinister person. There are many books on Feng Shui, how can Zhang Tianshi tell lies with open eyes?
If he dares to give me false testimony on this matter, isn't he afraid that Long Live will send Qin Tianjian to search the ancient books, find out that he is lying, and kill him? "
A word reminded Jiajing, who immediately said: "Summon the Qin Heavenly Supervisor and the Supervisor, and summon the Wenyuan Pavilion librarian!"
After a while, both of them arrived. Jiajing pointed to the Kanyu map and motioned to Qin Tianjian to take a look at it.
Qin Tian Jian Zheng is also a master of Kan Yu. He almost broke out in a cold sweat just by looking at him.
He didn't dare to be careless and read it several times before falling to his knees.
"Long live, this is the place where Nine Dragons gather energy, it's... it's the position of the emperor!"
Yan Shifan looked at Qin Tian Jian Zheng in disbelief: "You! You are talking nonsense! Were you also bribed by Xiao Feng?"
Qin Tian Jian is kowtowing repeatedly: "Long live, Qin Tian Jian has always kept aloof from the world. I will never participate in government affairs, and I will never dare to be bribed by anyone!"
Jiajing nodded: "Librarian, have you found all the books related to Kan Yu in the Wenyuan Pavilion?"
The librarian was holding a large pile of ancient books and was trembling all over. Taking advantage of this question, he quickly knelt down and put all the books on the ground.
"Long live Qi Zun, they are all here. There are thirty-five books in total, ranging from ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty to those written by people of this dynasty."
Jiajing pointed at Qin Tianjian Jianzheng: "Check!"
These books are like heavenly books to others, but to great experts like Qin Tianjian Jianzheng, they are very clear.
He opened the books one by one, and opened them when he found the instructions for Jiulong Qi Gathering. Thirty of the thirty-five books recorded this game.
Although the painting methods in each book are slightly different due to different eras, even a blind person can see that the general landscape trend is basically consistent with this Kanyu map!
Jiajing looked at Yan Shifan coldly, doubting him again and again, which had completely exhausted his patience. And all the charges this time were enough to make him make up his mind.
This Kanyu map was the last nail that Xiao Feng drove into the lid of Yan Shifan's coffin.
Even without it, all the previous doubtful charges were enough for Yan Shifan to die several times.
But Xiao Feng spent all his efforts this time just to ensure that there would be no loopholes in this dragnet, and that he would never give Yan Shifan a chance to come back to life again.
Even if Yan Shifan still has a biological mother and can die again, he must ensure that Jiajing will not soften his heart because of this, and will not spare Yan Shifan's life because of this!
The hall was as quiet as a cemetery in the wilderness. You could even hear the wind whistling past the door of the hall.
Yan Song turned his face and touched Yan Shifan's face with his trembling hands. At this moment, he suddenly felt like he had returned to decades ago and touched his son's newborn face.
In a daze, it seemed that his wife, Ouyang, had a cloth band wrapped around her head and was looking at him with a smile.
"Master, look at this kid, doesn't he look good? Give him a name!"
"Well, it looks good, it looks really good. I will definitely succeed in the future, and I will definitely become a pillar of the imperial court and protect the people of the world for the imperial court.
He is my son, so naturally he should inherit my ambition. Just call him Shifan. He will serve as a vassal for the imperial court from generation to generation, guarding the world and all people! "
Yan Song touched Yan Shifan's face, and his wrinkled face was covered with tears, flowing down the wrinkles and falling on the ground.
"East Tower... East... East Tower, Xiao Feng is talking nonsense, right? Xiao Feng is talking nonsense, right?
He's jealous of you, that's why he's talking nonsense, right? You can't possibly do these things! You wouldn't want to kill Banzai, right?
You can't possibly want to be the emperor, you...how could you? I know you won't!
Donglou, you speak, you refute him! Speak quickly! East building! "
Yan Song burst into tears. This was the first time in his life that he cried so miserably and sadly.
Even when he and Yan Shifan knelt in front of Xia Yan and begged Xia Yan to show his respect, he was not so sad.
Because he still had hope at first, but now, he is desperate. He has lost his wife and now his son is going to be gone too.
And it is very likely that the entire Yan family, together with the nine clans, will be gone and completely wiped out.
Yan Shifan closed his eyes and had countless thoughts running through his mind, but finally gave up.
It's over, it's all over. If Xiao Feng was still the weak scholar who could only measure calligraphy, he would still have a chance to fight to the death.
But now Xiao Feng's kung fu is extremely high. Even though his kung fu has gradually been passed on to him during this time, he will never have the chance to kill him.
If he acts rashly, not only will he not be able to kill Xiao Feng, but he will also completely anger Jiajing. He will definitely be chopped into pieces by Jin Yiwei on the spot.
Let’s wait and see how Jiajing will judge. The death penalty is certain this time, it depends on how Jiajing chooses to let himself die.
Jiajing looked at Yan Song who was crying bitterly. A complicated look flashed in his cold eyes, and then he hid it deeply.
His voice was like the cold wind in three-nine days, without a trace of warmth, as plain as white water, without any ripples.
"Yan Shifan, as the son of the chief minister and an official of the imperial court, is greedy, shameless, cunning and cruel. He has repeatedly committed serious crimes. In view of his father's many years of hard work, I have repeatedly given lenient sentences.
Still unwilling to repent, he intensified his efforts and instigated Luo Wenlong to collude with Japanese pirates and Bai Lian to rebel, massacre the common people, assassinate important court officials, and assassinate princesses and princes!
In the early years, he colluded with the construction team leader to leave defects in the palace walls; when building the ancestral mansion, he chose imperial feng shui. It can be seen from looking at him that his rebellious heart has already been there!
He ordered the Jin Yiwei to send him to prison and behead him on a certain day to show him to the public! "
After Jiajing said these words, everyone was stunned for a moment. Xiao Feng even raised his head and looked straight at Jiajing.
Even Yan Song was stunned. None of these old-time officials was a fool. Among all the crimes listed by Yan Shifan in Jiajing, the most serious one was actually missing.
That is to break into the palace and assassinate the emperor. Jiajing only said that he colluded with the construction team leader to leave defects in the palace wall, but did not say that Yan Shifan was the mastermind behind his assassination.
Although if this item was removed, other crimes would be enough to kill Yan Shifan several times, but Jiajing's removal of this item from the official decree must have deep meaning.
"Yan Song, as the first assistant, has not been strict in educating his children, has brought disgrace to the family, and has sinned against the country. In memory of his past achievements, and now that he is old, I order him to be dismissed from his post and return to his hometown."
This time, whether it was Party Yan or other officials, even Huang Jin and Lu Bing looked at each other speechless.
What kind of fairy friendship is this? For Yan Shifan's crime, it would be a good thing if he didn't punish the nine clans. He didn't even kill the whole family. Not only did he save Yan Song's life, but he was even allowed to go home to retire!
Counting all the Ming emperors together, and even counting all the emperors in history, this method of processing is unique.
In real history, Yan Shifan's crime was not so serious, but it was also a major treasonous crime of colluding with Japanese pirates, and Jiajing's treatment was the same.
There is really no explanation for this matter. If there must be an explanation, it would be: In fact, Jiajing is not as ruthless as he appears most of the time. He is just an extremely sensitive person.
He was very cruel to those who were disloyal to him, but Yan Song never betrayed Jiajing personally, whether he was seeking power or making money.
Yan Song not only regarded Jiajing as the emperor, but also regarded Jiajing as a friend. It was this friendship that prevented Jiajing from implicating Yan Song when Yan Shifan committed a major crime.
Xiao Feng looked at Yan Song. He didn't hate Yan Song as much as he did Yan Shifan, but he would never allow Yan Song to go back to his hometown to live in a mansion comfortably and enjoy the afterglow of a retired veteran cadre's life.
"Long live the Yan family's ancestral home in Jiangxi. Now that it has been selected and expanded by Yan Shifan, it has become an imperial state. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for Yan Shoufu to go back to live there."
Yan Song had no reaction to what Xiao Feng said at this time. His son was dead, which made him hardly feel happy about his narrow escape.
If he had a choice, he would rather Jiajing kill him and leave Yan Shifan alive. Even if you go to jail, even if you are exiled, as long as you don't behead your head, that's fine.
Jiajing sighed. He also knew that it was unjustifiable for him to spare Yan Song's life today. He must not be merciful in terms of property.
"All property of the Yan Mansion in the capital was confiscated. After the old house in Jiangxi was confiscated, it was converted into a royal courtyard to cope with the emperor's situation.
Yan Shifan sent people to check many of the places written on the note, and any property found would be confiscated.
Jin Yiwei monitors all the bank accounts in the world, and if anyone related to the Yan family cashes the banknotes, they will be fined and confiscated. "
When the Jin Yiwei pulled Yan Shifan down the hall, Yan Shifan raised his head. This time he was not looking at Xiao Feng or Jiajing, but Lu Bing.
Lu Bingchui stood beside Jiajing, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Yan Song stood up tremblingly and kowtowed to Jiajing. He kowtowed three times. Each kowtow made a loud bang and made a dull echo in the hall.
Yan Song knew that this was the last time he would kowtow to Jiajing in his life, so he kowtowed very seriously and decorously.
Just like when he kowtowed to Jiajing when he was a Jinshi. Just like when he kowtowed to Jiajing when he was minister. Just like when he kowtowed to Jiajing when he entered the cabinet.
After that, he never kowtowed again. Every time he struck a pose, Jiajing would wave his hand to indicate that he was exempt from courtesy, and he stood up with peace of mind.
He regarded this as an honor, an identity, and a hint. But today, he suddenly wanted to kowtow to Jiajing, very much, very much.
Because he truly believed today that Jiajing really regarded him as a friend. Even if he was asked to take the blame, even if his son was killed, Jiajing never regarded him as just a courtier.
But he failed this friend. From now on, he will never have the chance to meet this friend, and he will never have the face to meet this friend again.
Three heads are few, and no matter how serious Yan Song kowtows, he will always finish it. Yan Song stood up and staggered out of the hall, leaving a little dark red spot on the ground.
When he walked to the door of the hall, Yan Song's feet hung on the threshold and he almost fell. Jiajing subconsciously stood up, but his body only moved a little before he sat firmly.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong were both looking at Yan Song's back. That back was once so old and strong, making people doubt that he would never grow old.
But now, the back looks so old and decayed, making people worry about whether he can get out of this empty and distant palace.
Jiajing closed his eyes and said nothing for a long time before speaking tiredly.
"The chief assistant of the cabinet is Xu Jie. Xiao Feng is appointed as the second assistant, and Gao Gong continues to be a cabinet director. Due to the construction of the Daming Navy and the matters of Guofang, the cabinet of three people is too thin.
Zhang Juzheng was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and was added to the cabinet to study as a director. Shen Lian was transferred to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Zhan Feiyun went to Miao territory for meritorious service and was rewarded with the title of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Punishment. "
Xu Jie and others came forward to express their gratitude. Zhang Juzheng was so excited that his face flushed red. He was full of ambitions, and when he was able to display them today, he was really elated.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong looked at each other, understanding each other in their hearts. The Yan Party has fallen. Jiajing's decree just now seems to be following the trend, but it is actually helping Xiao Feng consolidate his strength.
Zhang Juzheng was Xu Jie's disciple, but he could not be said to be Xiao Feng's. But although Shen Lian is a Jin Yiwei, he has an irreversible friendship with Xiao Feng. Zhan Feiyun even obeyed Xiao Fengyan.
Jiajing's promotion of these three people was more to tell the court that Yan Dang was dead and Xiao Feng would become the backbone of the court from now on. Because Jiajing believed that Xiao Feng was not a party member, naturally there was no such thing as Xiao Feng's party.
An earth-shattering decisive battle came to an end, and the Jiajing court entered a new era, and everyone felt as if they were in another world.
Xiao Feng had mixed feelings in his heart, he wanted to cry and laugh. After two full years of life-and-death struggle with Yan Shifan, he finally won.
He always believed that he could win because he knew that he was not alone against Yan Shifan. There were many people standing behind him.
There is Xiao Wannian, there is Lan's father, there is Qiaojie, there is Lan's daughter, there is Ruyue, there is like smoke, there is like jade, no, it's not Ruyu, it's Wang Jue. There were countless unknown men and women standing behind him, watching him silently.
There was also the tall and beautiful woman who embarrassedly hid her blood-stained hands behind her back, but always smiled charmingly and looked at him secretly.
Whenever he couldn't hold on anymore and was about to fall, they would stretch out their hands and support his back to prevent him from falling and let him stand up straight.
Xiao Feng bowed deeply to Jiajing. Jiajing immediately knew that this guy was going to make some more excessive demands again, so he nodded slightly.
"Senior brother, I once swore an oath in front of the graves of those women who died at the hands of the Japanese pirates at Yan Shifan's farm and in front of their withered bones and ghosts.
No matter how many difficulties and dangers there are, we are not afraid of being shattered into pieces, and if we do not place the head of the culprit on the top of this tomb, we will not return to the Ming Dynasty a clear blue sky and a peaceful and prosperous age.
Xiao Feng will not enter the immortal world in life, and will not enter reincarnation after death! "
Jiajing knew this. He opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Feng looking directly at him, and sighed softly.
Anyway, Yan Shifan was definitely going to be beheaded. It made no difference to the court whether he was beheaded on the street or on the farm, but there was a big difference to his junior brother.
"The place where Yan Shifan will be executed will be at that farm. Xiao Feng will supervise the execution. Officials and people can watch and act as a warning."
