Chapter 256 Brother Taiyue, I miss you so much!

Yan Shaoting always felt that Old Yan's avatar seemed to have noticed something.

Looking at the Yan family’s carriage carrying Youyou to Yanfu Lane.

He stood on the street, and the street was wrinkled.

perhaps.

If it weren't for my appearance.

The Yan family is now worried about life and death.

And now.

It's also because of myself.

Old Yan seems to be thinking about the issue of the thousand-year-old family.

Millennium dynasty?

People in the past thousands of years have never seen it.

However, there are many aristocratic families that have existed for thousands of years and still exist in the world.

It is hard to guess the true thoughts of the old and cunning old man Yan.

Yan Shaoting turned around and looked at Lu Fang, who was rushing along the street from Xiyuan with the imperial edict in his hand.

He folded his hands and said, "Why do you have to do this in person?"

As he spoke, Yan Shaoting took the imperial edict demoting Zhang Juzheng from Lu Fang's hand.

Lu Fang smiled and said, "It's only a few steps away. I knew the tutor would be waiting here."

Yan Shaoting smiled and looked around.

Lu Fang immediately turned around and looked at the young eunuchs who followed him.

Just a look.

The young eunuchs immediately lowered their heads and retreated a few steps away.

Yan Shaoting then said, "Your Majesty, do you have something to tell me?"

Lu Fang shook his head: "The master is tired today. When you left the palace, the master had already fallen asleep."

"Oh?"

Yan Shaoting looked puzzled.

Lu Fang looked around for several times before speaking, "Master, I'm not being nosy. I just don't want you to think too much, so I want to say a few kind words."

Yan Shaoting immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I have always regarded you as my elder. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Lv Fang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I dare not. It's just that the tutor is always straightforward with us and the people in the palace, so I feel warm in my heart. Otherwise, I would never say such words casually."

After saying that.

Lv Fang then explained: "The tutor is talented and capable. This is not only mentioned by our family, but also by the master. However, the tutor is an official in the court and a subject of the master. Sometimes the tutor should be less stubborn and not go against the master's wishes."

After saying this.

Lu Fang also took a step forward and looked around again.

then.

He lowered his voice and said, "The tutor is now the tutor of the prince of Prince Yu's mansion, and he is only twenty years old. There is plenty of time in the future. I am afraid that when our family is burned to ashes, the tutor will still be working in the court, so why rush it now?"

Yan Shaoting's heart skipped a beat.

This statement is already a huge act of presumption.

But Lu Fang was afraid that what he said was not clear enough, so he continued: "The tutor wants to do something and wants our Ming Dynasty to last forever. We know this intention, and the master can see it too.

"The tutor will be the tutor of the prince in the future. When the prince grows up and goes to school, the tutor will take on the responsibility of educating him.

I won’t go into too much detail, but when the prince comes one day in the future… Is it true that if the tutor is still in the court, will there be anyone else who can suppress the tutor except the prince?”

Lu Fang is a good person.

At least in Yan Shaoting's opinion now, he is a truly good person.

This is similar to training the future emperor, taking charge of the court as an imperial teacher, and promoting one's own political ideas.

How could Lu Fang, an old man who had worked in the inner court for many years, tell others about it casually as he said?
This was another thing that surprised Yan Shaoting after what Old Yan said in the carriage today.

He looked at Lu Fang, nodded and said with a smile: "Some small courtyards are being built in Changping recently. They are not rich, but they have houses and courtyards. If you don't mind, you can live there when you have the opportunity. Changping has beautiful water and mountains, and the people are simple and honest. It is a good place to cultivate yourself."

Lu Fang was also moved.

This is about providing for your own retirement.

But you can't say that openly.

Lv Fang nodded with a smile on his face and said, "That's great! Changping is right next to the imperial mausoleum. If we go there, we will be guarding the mausoleum for our master!"

Replace and give.

It's just a difference of one word.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "It's good that you don't mind."

"Good good!"

Lu Fang said "good" three times in a row, and then he felt that the trip was worthwhile. With a heart full of joy, he returned to the West Garden with the group of confused eunuchs.

Yan Shaoting, who was standing on the street, shook the imperial edict in his hand.

A smile appeared on his face.

Then he called a sedan bearer on the street to carry him to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Yan Shaoting called Lu Yi up, brought along several Jinyiwei officers and soldiers, and stole a horse from the Jinyiwei yamen.

The group ran out of the city.

According to the news, Zhang Juzheng was delivering a memorial to the emperor in Beijing. Considering his journey, he should have passed Tongzhou by now.

That means waiting in the direction of Tonghui River Wharf.

Everyone rode their horses and chased after them.

Soon we arrived at Tonghui River Wharf.

When the manager at the dock saw the Jinyiwei people, he immediately came out of the shed next to the dock.

Yan Shaoting looked up and saw that it was the clerk who had lent him a sedan chair on the day Yan Hu came to Beijing from his hometown in Jiangxi.

The clerk in charge also saw Yan Shaoting.

He immediately walked forward with a smile on his face.

"So it was the attendant Yan who came to visit. If the attendant had sent someone to explain things earlier, I would have cleared the dock earlier."

Yan Shaoting smiled faintly, dismounted, and threw the reins in his hand to a Jinyiwei officer who came forward.

"There are many people coming and going in the capital, how can I let others be delayed because of me?"

The clerk in charge nodded repeatedly: "The tutor's teachings are correct. I will remember them. I will follow the tutor's teachings and do my job well at the Tonghui River Wharf."

This man.

No matter whether the words are said in the right way or the wrong way, they can make people feel comfortable. The clerk in charge of the dock is indeed a man who knows how to be attentive to others.

It’s just that the big sunshade umbrella was set up on the pier.

Tea, tables, chairs and benches were also brought out one by one.

Yan Shaoting did not refuse and sat down quietly, enjoying the breeze by the river and drinking tea.

The clerk in charge just stood aside and didn't care about other things.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng's boat was nowhere to be seen.

Yan Shaoting then looked at the clerk in charge: "Not busy?"

The clerk in charge immediately shook his head: "The tutor is here, and it's my little one who has to take care of things!"

Lu Yi blew a whistle on the side.

"You do know how to talk."

The clerk in charge scratched his head with a silly smile on his face.

Yan Shaoting asked, "How many years have you been working here?"

The steward's mind moved: "In reply to the tutor, since I was able to work, I have taken over the job from the old man of the young family. Now I have been working at the Tonghui River Wharf for ten years."

It turns out to be a heritage.

Yan Shaoting's eyes turned away. "The Changping Public Security Division has been newly established under the order of His Majesty. There seem to be a few more..."

Don't wait for him to finish his sentence.

There was a pop.

The clerk in charge, completely oblivious to the people coming and going on the dock, had already knelt on the ground.

"Thank you for your kindness, my dear reader!"

"Being able to do good things for the people of Changping is a blessing I earned in my previous life!"

"I will never bring shame to the tutor. I will work hard until my death to benefit the people of Changping!"

Although Yan Shaoting had this intention, he was still slightly stunned.

This person has a sharp eye, a sense of propriety, and knows how to make choices.

The job of dock manager, which has been passed down from generation to generation, can be quit at any time.

He nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"Little Xiao Junpeng!"

"From now on, I will follow your lead!"

Xiao Junpeng, a minor clerk in charge of the Tonghui River Wharf, had a flushed face and was extremely excited.

Lu Yi glanced at the shrewd Xiao Junpeng, then he looked sideways at his second brother-in-law.

Then he said to Xiao Junpeng: "You will be blessed in the future."

Xiao Junpeng nodded repeatedly: "Since the last time I saw the tutor, I felt that I must be very blessed in this life!"

Yan Shaoting waved his hand and said, "Stand up. His Majesty has said that there is no reason or rule in the Ming Dynasty to kneel down at every turn."

"Thank you for reading!"

But Xiao Junpeng still thanked him first, and then slowly stood up, with an excited face, and stood beside Yan Shaoting with his head held high, acting like an official of the Changping Security Bureau.

He raised his head, feeling very happy.

I, Old Xiao, will be a blessed man in the future!

And on the other end.

In an official ship sailing on the Tonghui River wharf.

Zhang Juzheng, dressed in a bright red official robe, sat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river with a heavy heart.

I don’t know what kind of reaction my memorial will get when it reaches the emperor this time.

However, whether good or bad, I am prepared.

Even though the emperor dismissed his position as a cabinet minister, he had still shouted out his slogan for reform.

As long as it is not a punishment of beheading.

One day, I will be able to pull together people like Yan Shaoting and set off a vigorous reform in the court!

Thinking about it.

Zhang Juzheng picked up the teacup and savored it carefully.

At this time, the chief aide walked in from the bow.

"Lord, we are just ahead of the Tonghui River Pier."

Zhang Juzheng raised his head and looked outside: "What do you think will happen if His Majesty does not approve my request for reform this time?"

The aide smiled and said, "Hasn't the elder made up his mind a long time ago? Even if His Majesty doesn't agree, even if he is furious, the elder will still be known as the first person to reform. Even if His Majesty doesn't agree now, in the future..."

Zhang Juzheng's eyes immediately fixed: "Be careful with your words!"

The aide nodded immediately, and then changed the subject: "But I still don't understand why the Lord Minister submitted it even though he clearly knew that the things requested in the memorial were obviously flawed and would definitely be criticized by people in the court?"

Zhang Juzheng put down his teacup, looked at his staff and advisors, and smiled faintly: "We have to see first which of these people in the court are real and which are fake."

He said vaguely.

The staff and advisors still didn't understand the meaning.

I could only look back outside.

"Mr. Ge!"

"There's someone on the dock!"

"It seems... it's Yan Shaoting..."

The official ship slowly docked at the Tonghui River Pier.

With Xiao Junpeng's attentive service, Yan Shaoting boarded the official ship and walked into the cabin.

After entering the cabin, Zhang Juzheng just stood up, as if he was about to get off the boat.

Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised to see Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting already had a smile on his face.

"Brother Taiyue, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"
