《Ming Dynasty 1566》E25
Episode 25
Feng Bao was sent to monitor the activities of Yan Mansion, but unexpectedly found that the palace also sent people to observe secretly.This discovery not only reveals the complex interpersonal relationships within the palace, but also foreshadows an upcoming storm.
Yan Song, the chief minister who once held all the power in the world, is now at home, posting books, with the door closed.His son Yan Shifan anxiously broke down the door, but Yan Song was still nowhere to be seen.Yan Shifan felt like an ant on a hot pot, at a loss.He, Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing went to the cabinet duty room to find Xu Jie, but were told that officials from the six ministries and nine ministers were blocked from the forbidden gate of Xiyuan.This series of setbacks made Yan Shifan deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation, and he had to leave angrily.
At the same time, Zhang Juzheng is also facing tremendous pressure.He received an urgent report from Tan Lun and learned that Hai Rui and Wang Yongji had interrogated Zheng Michang and He Maocai for their crimes of colluding with Japanese pirates under the instructions of Yan Shifan and Yang Jinshui.Immediately afterwards, he received an emergency military report on the anti-Japanese war in Zhejiang, which made him deeply feel that this was a serious act.He did not understand why Zhao Zhenji submitted the confessions of Hai Rui's interrogation of Zheng Mi Chang and He Maocai to another case, so he suggested that Xu Jie's top priority must be to submit the confessions of Hai Rui's interrogation transcripts of Zheng Mi Chang and He Maocai to Emperor Jiajing.
In this power struggle, Chen Hong also played an important role.When he first took charge of the imperial eunuch's seal, he got carried away and began to squeeze out Lu Fang's eunuchs.He was eager to replace Lu Fang's position and used Yan Song's position as chief assistant to win over Xu Jie.However, Xu Jie was not only alert to his actions, but also felt disgusted.
Yan Song also realized the seriousness of the situation and found his son Yan Shifan.He orally ordered his son to write a letter to Hu Zongxian, secretly ordering Hu Zongxian to suppress the Japanese pirates but not all.He knew very well that the Japanese pirates were with Hu Zongxian, and as long as Hu Zongxian was there, the Yan family would not fall.
