Chapter 50: Concubine Li’s Reasoning

When Yan Song began to doubt whether Yan Shifan was his own son.

In Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Gao Gong had already ridiculed Yan Shaoting for his arrogant remarks in Changping.

Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui looked at Gao Gong twice more and felt that he should persuade this bad-tempered Master Gao at an appropriate time not to confront Master Yan in such a tit-for-tat manner.

then.

The prince then turned his gaze to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie thought for a moment before speaking: "The victims are the top priority right now, and this time the disaster happened in Shuntian Prefecture. If we can't stabilize the people's hearts as soon as possible, it will lead to unrest in the capital.

This is also the reason why Yan Shidu arrested merchants before but was not punished by Your Majesty.

The old minister also heard that this time when Yan Shidu brought the victims back to Changping, the first thing he did was to promise to let the victims eat meat that night.

This is like the ancient practice of setting up a tree as a token of trust, and the goal is to make the people believe in Yan Shidu. As for Yan Shidu's so-called arrogant words this time, as long as the disaster is over and the people rebuild their homes, it will not be possible. At that time, the victims will only want to continue to live a peaceful life and will not say anything bad about Yan Shidu. "

This is what it means to assist the country!

Zhu Zaigui nodded in satisfaction, his eyes swept across Gao Gong's face, and he said softly: "This is what I think too. The main thing now is to let the people settle down, obey the orders of the court, and let the disaster pass."

But Master Yan is still young after all, and he dares to say such words.

Zhu Zaigui felt that when Yan Shaoting was free in the next few days, they should take the opportunity when he came to the palace to give him a few reminders in private.

This is to prevent Master Yan from being attacked by those with ulterior motives in the court in the future.

Just as Zhu Zaigui was thinking about these things.

Xu Jie said, "As an official appointed by the imperial court, and as an imperial envoy sent to provide relief to the victims, it is a bit frivolous and thoughtless to say such things. If everything is done this way, how can the imperial court have any credibility in the future?"

Zhu Zaigui frowned and looked at Xu Jie, but felt that what Master Xu said made sense.

He whispered, "What does Master Xu mean?"

"Your Highness can wait for Yan Shidu to come to the palace and reprimand him, or have the officials in the court report to His Majesty. At this time, Yan Shidu is in charge of the disaster victims in Changping. If His Majesty knows about it, he will only reprimand him. It will probably be fine for Yan Shidu."

This meant that Zhu Zaigui had to make the matter clear and present it in the court.

Zhu Zaigui was in hesitation for a moment.

At this time.

Followed by the sound of a child crying.

Concubine Li from Prince Yu's Mansion came to the hall from the back with Feng Bao, who was holding the young prince.

Concubine Li first bowed to Zhu Zaigui, and then nodded to Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

Zhu Zaiqi frowned and looked at Concubine Li, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I was discussing something with the two masters, why did you run out with the prince again?"

Concubine Li said, "I was just playing with the prince in the back, and I heard the prince, Master Xu, and Master Gao mention what Master Yan said. I think that based on what Master Yan has done these days, what Master Yan said to the people in Changping this time may be accomplished."

Before Xu Jie and Gao Gong could speak, Zhu Zaigui was already quite dissatisfied and said, "Women's opinions! Master Yan can probably handle the disaster victims, but as for what he said, even I am not sure."

It seemed that Prince Yu was getting a little angry.

Concubine Li did not show any fear, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although I am a woman and have never been in public, I understand a truth. Would you like to listen to it?"

According to Zhu Zaigui's wishes, he wanted to drive Concubine Li back directly.

But Xu Jie and Gao Gong were next to him.

He could only frown and say in a deep voice: "What's the reason?"

Xu Jie and Gao Gong also showed curiosity. Concubine Li said slowly: "Your Majesty, you must understand that Master Yan is not only a minister of your majesty, not only a member of the Yan family, but also the tutor of the prince of my Yu Palace.

What Master Yan has done these days is for the country, the people and the king. No matter why Master Yan said that this time, as the father of the prince, the prince should choose to believe Master Yan instead of questioning him here. "

After saying this, Concubine Li smiled, took the child from Feng Bao's arms, and walked in front of Zhu Zaigui.

She put little Wanli into Zhu Zaigui's arms.

"Your Majesty, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Zhu Zaigui held the child in his arms, glanced at Concubine Li, then looked at Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and finally he could only pinch his nose and say, "You are right."

Concubine Li smiled, took the child back, and bowed again: "Then I will take the prince to the back, and I will not disturb the prince's meeting."

Watching Concubine Li leaving with the child, Zhu Zaigui could only look at them deeply, and finally gave a helpless smile to Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

……

After making a plan for the matters in Changping, Yan Shaoting handed them over to the lame student Zhou Yunyi to take charge of.

Anyway, there is free labor available, so there is no reason not to exploit it thoroughly.

After giving instructions on the matters in Changping, Yan Shaoting returned to Beijing.

Early in the morning.

With the help of Sister Lu, Yan Shaoting finished dressing and stretched lazily.

Lu Wenyan's face was still flushed from the fooling around for most of the hour in the early morning. She whispered softly, "The Spanish merchant named Bai Fugui has been waiting for you for an hour. Husband, you should go to the front to meet him as soon as possible."

Yan Shaoting, however, stretched out his hand and slid across the eldest sister's cheek, curling his lips and saying, "He is the one who needs something from your husband now, so he should be waiting."

"Yes, yes, our family is a hero who saved tens of thousands of disaster victims!"

Even though Lu Wenyan had recently been constantly developing new and embarrassing positions, she still couldn't stand Yan Shaoting's mischief and pushed the man out of the house.

"After meeting the people, don't forget to go to the cabinet to accompany Grandpa. I heard that the construction of the Xiyuan Wanshou Palace is almost completed. We can't make any mistakes at this time."

Yan Shaoting's face was all smiles.

But I felt that it was because I had not developed enough postures and I could not completely shut this girl up.

Waiting to turn back...

We still need to study it carefully!
Along the way, Yan Shaoting was thinking about Xin Zi... and the government affairs, and unknowingly arrived at the front mansion.

Bo Fugui, a Spanish businessman who had been waiting for a long time, stood up with a belly full of tea.

"I have met Yan Hanlin."

Yan Shaoting walked in cheerfully and glanced at Bai Fugui with some curiosity: "Brother Fugui is really well-informed."

Bai Fugui spoke in pure Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "Yan Hanlin is deeply favored by the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. If I am still ignorant, how dare I do business with Yan Hanlin?"

Yan Shaoting sat down, picked up the tea brought by the maid, took a sip carefully, and then said, "I wonder if Brother Fugui brought any business to visit you today to make a fortune?"

The things he and Bai Fugui had agreed upon before could only be brought up in public in Xiyuan after Zhang Juzheng's job in the southeast could no longer be carried out.

Now is not the time.

Bai Fugui immediately put away the smile on his face and said with difficulty: "I dare not hide it from Yan Hanlin, there is a problem with our transaction."
