Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 271 Lao Yan's happy life

  The sky in the east is just getting brighter, and the morning light shrouds the heaven and earth faintly.

  A sedan chair carried by eight people appeared on West Chang'an Street, heading all the way to Xiyuan where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy.

  Blown by the wind, the curtains of the sedan chair were lifted, revealing the face of a benevolent old man with white beard. If Zhu Pingan was here, he would definitely recognize this old man as the old guy who knew how to play in that city that day. However, this old guy is not an ordinary person. He is the second most powerful person in his family, the chief assistant of the dynasty Yan Song Yange Lao.

  Yan Song, Mr. Yan Ge is 72 years old this year. In Daming, ordinary people, this age has long since passed away. But we, Yan Ge, are still healthy and smell good, our eyes are not dazzled and our ears are not deaf, and we can do some interesting little shows with my wife at night.

  Especially, in recent days, Yan Ge's old life has become more nourishing. Qiu Luan, who was disobedient and wanted to set up another mountain, died, and no one in the court would flatter him. Although Xu Jie, the rising political star, is a bit of a pop-up recently, it doesn't matter, as a newcomer, just tap and tap.

  The day before yesterday, my godson Wenhua brought him a priceless gold silk tent from the southeast, and nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

  In addition, the test is about to start, and the East Building has put a few carts of silver in the cellar these days.

  Old Yan Ge sat in the sedan chair thinking of these things, his face flushed, and he urged the bearer to leave faster from time to time.

  Compared to the previous things, this is what Mr. Yan Ge is most proud of.

  Old Yan Ge gets up early every day, not for exercising, but to go to Xiyuan to meet Emperor Jiajing. The Holy Majesty has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and refining alchemy for more than ten years and has not come to court. There are not many people who are qualified to meet the Emperor every day except our old Yan. Can you not be proud.

  Especially, when we Lao Yan saw the Holy Majesty, we didn’t just “go against each other” like other people, but we took pills together with the Holy Majesty, which looked at the entire Ming Dynasty. Only our old Yan is alone.

  In Yan Ge’s heart, he was able to eat, sleep, and do some exercise with his wife at night when he was in his seventies. Otherwise, why would I still be so lively in my seventies.

  So, every time I get up early to go to Xiyuan to take pills, Mr. Yan Ge always has a red face, trotting all the way without panting, and Mr. Yan Ge's positive mouse spirit also moved Emperor Jiajing.

   Monarchs and ministers for a while. There is a perfect understanding.

  Old man Yange’s sedan chair didn’t stop until it reached the gate of Xiyuan Palace. As soon as it stopped, the gate of Xiyuan Palace opened slowly.

Elder Yan Ge is already a regular customer of Xiyuan, and Xiao Huangmen also likes this generous and enthusiastic elder Ge. Then there were a few more bank notes of moderate denomination.

  The little yellow gate led Mr. Yan Ge into the Xiyuan, which Mr. Yan Ge was extremely familiar with.

   "Master Yan, please wait here for a while."

  But when Mr. Yan Ge was about to walk into the very familiar palace of the Holy One who made alchemy. A beardless man in python clothes and jade belt walked out of the palace, and stopped Elder Yan Ge with a smile on his face.

   "Okay, okay, I wonder if Mr. Huang had a good rest yesterday."

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile on his face, grabbed the hand of the beardless man in python suit with both hands, asked for warmth, and at the same time stuffed several hundred taels of silver bills into the beardless man's cuffs without a trace .

"Thanks to Mr. Yan, our family slept well and slept soundly last night." The beardless man in the python suit put the bank note in his cuff into Yan Song's sleeve without any trace. Concealment. I don't know how much faster than Yan Song's.

   "Mr. Huang's honesty is really admirable." Yan Song said highly.

   "Master Yan was joking, please take a short break over here, Master Yan." The man in the python suit said. Stretching out his hand, he asked Yan Song to go to the nearby palace to rest for a while with a smile on his face.

   "How dare you, how dare you, Mr. Yan, please." Yan Song, a man in his seventies, reacted quickly, half-bending his waist and stretching out his hands to make a gesture of asking.

  As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song doesn't need to be like a man for this python suit. It's all because this man is not an ordinary person. This man is the celebrity in front of Emperor Jiajing, the head of the eunuchs in the harem, Huang Jin.

  Emperor Jiajing was very disdainful of eunuchs, thinking that these eunuchs were suitable for sweeping toilets and emptying toilets. He had always strictly controlled eunuchs, but Huang Jin was an exception and trusted him very much. Because Huang Jin followed Emperor Jiajing before Emperor Jiajing became emperor. At that time, Emperor Jiajing was just a son of the royal family. reuse. After Emperor Jiajing became emperor, Huang Jin was promoted to imperial eunuch, and then successively promoted to chief eunuch.

  Huang Jin won the important role of Emperor Jiajing and did not make it public. He has always been diligent and self-disciplined. In Yan Song's eyes, this kind of person is quite jealous.

  Especially recently, Yan Song got the news that the Holy Lord intends to let Huang Jin be the admiral of Dongchang.

  That's why Yan Song is so enthusiastic, even if he is stopped outside the palace gate, he still has a smiling face.

After about half an hour, the door of Emperor Jiajing's alchemy palace opened, and a short fair-skinned official in his forties or fifties walked out. He always had a smile on his mouth, and he looked kindly Feel.

  The official came out to the **** on duty standing outside the hall, nodded with a smile, and went down the hall.

   Elder Yan Songyan in another hall saw this person, his complexion turned dark, why did Xu Jie come, and was summoned by the saint in advance. Last time in the "Geng Shu Revolution", this old boy made a lot of limelight. I thought that this rising political star could just be beaten and beaten, but I didn't expect it. It seems that he still needs a strong medicine.

   "The lower officials have met Mr. Yan, and Mr. Yan looks very good today." Xu Jie saw Yan Song from a distance, and slightly arched his hands to salute. Generally, the lower officials only saw the salutes of the upper officials, and did not flatter them like other officials.

Although Xu Jie is not as powerful as Yan Song, these days are also brisk, because his recent political trend is getting better and better. The emperor appointed him as the crown prince and Taibao. Sealed; the benefits are also enjoying the treatment of a cabinet member, although he has not yet joined the cabinet; the emperor often summons him to chat about Qingci and state affairs, which makes him more face among the officials.

  Especially today, His Majesty entrusted himself with the heavy responsibility of taking the exam. Will try, others have not discovered the energy in it, but Xu Jie knows it well. If you have mastered the examination and the main examination, then these talents who have climbed the Dragon Gate will be your disciples. Don't look at these people as inconspicuous now, but they will be in the future.

  So, in Xu Jie's view, he is not far away from success, and is not far from taking revenge for Master Xia and those who were persecuted by Yan Song.

   "Oh, so it's Xu Shangshu." Yan Song nodded slightly, and looked at Xu Jie again. This kid wants to turn his tail, it's time for a spanking.

  After a short greeting, Xu Jie took half a step sideways to avoid him. Under the guidance of Huang Jin, Yan Song entered the palace where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and made alchemy.

   Just wait and see, it won't be long.

  Xu Jie looked at Yan Song's back, put away the smile on his face, turned around with a smile again, and walked towards the gate of Xiyuan.
