To be honest, Xia Yan has no major flaws in other aspects except for being a little crazy and proud.

He is honest and dedicated, diligent in his work, and never uses his power for personal gain. He is a model among officials. Logically speaking, such officials should be deeply respected by others. However, because he is too crazy and arrogant, he accidentally offended many people, which makes him isolated in the officialdom.

For example, his attitude towards Yan Song is quite inappropriate. Yan Song has indeed been promoted by him, but he is not a dog he raised. He is a senior official of the court and has his own face. However, he keeps calling people around. Can they feel comfortable?

At this moment, Yan Song is also a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Personnel. He comes to ask for a meeting. At least you are just pretending to be a good person and get up to greet him. He will give him some face.

However, Xia Yan just sat there carelessly, without any indication.

Do you think it would be great if you become the chief minister of the cabinet?

Yan Song cursed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be humble, walked into Xia Yan's office carefully, bowed respectfully, "Secretary of the Communist Party to meet the Chief Minister."

This guy is quite capable of pretending. No matter who he is in front of, he looks gentle, humble and polite. Those who don’t know think he is a humble gentleman.

Xia Yan snorted coldly in his heart, and then said without hesitation: "What's the point of being here for Lord Yan?"

When the two of them turned against each other before, he at least called them "Yizhong" to show closeness. Now everyone turned against each other, and he was even more rude to speak. Those who hold guns and sticks can choke people to death.

Yan Song held back the anger in his heart and pretended to be careful, "The Chief Supervisor seems to have a little misunderstanding of the lower official."

Xia Yan said with a little disdain: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Yan Song still said carefully: "Xiaoguan doesn't know what misunderstandings the Prime Minister has. He just feels that the Prime Minister is no longer close to the Prime Minister in the past, and it seems that he treats the Prime Minister as an outsider."

Are you still close to you?

Even if you get close to you, you have to ride on me!

Xia Yan said with a slight mockery: "Mr. Yan, you are powerful and I can't afford to win."

Yan Song quickly said humbly: "My lord is joking. Today, the only one who can cultivate is the result of adult cultivation."

Do you still know it was the result of my cultivation?

Xia Yan snorted coldly: "I dare not take it. Who doesn't know that you, Lord Yan, are all over the government and the country, and you need your own official to cultivate it."

Yan Song quickly laughed and said, "Sir, are joking again. The lower officials are just taking care of the lower officials. These people are not the lower officials' followers. Everyone gathered together because they admire the older talents."

Are you in charge of the following people on behalf of me?

Who are you fooling about?

Xia Yan mocked, "You take charge of the people below on behalf of me, so everyone below only listens to you and doesn't listen to me, right?"

This guy has such deep resentment.

Yan Song said awkwardly: "It turns out that this is what the lord misunderstood. Please let the officials explain it?"

I also explained that I want to see how shameless you are.

Xia Yan said disdainfully: "Oh, you still want to explain, then you can explain it and listen."

Yan Song heard this and said with a straight face, "Sir, you should also know that corruption is prevalent in the court now. There are not many officials who are honest and honest like adults. Everyone has made mistakes such or such because they are blinded by profiteering, so they are a little afraid of them. The officials can only let them down and join them in order to win people's hearts."

Is this true? Are you corrupt or for me?

Xia Yan disliked: "If corruption is prevalent, you should use heavy corruption to kill it. You are better, you are in harmony with the flow. Is this your way to be an official?"

Yan Song said helplessly: "Sir, the so-called law does not punish the masses, and the court is like this. What if it is done? If you and I will be alone in the same family after the re-discipline, why don't you and I become alone?"

this.

Xia Yan was actually speechless. Yan Song said something seemed to make some sense, because he felt that he was almost a lonely person at this moment.

Forget it, I can't say this, so let's say something else.

He thought about it, then said with a little anger: "You are saying it's nice. You are in charge of these people on my behalf. I think you want to start your own business, right?"

Yan Song pretended to be aggrieved and said in confusion: "Sir, where do you start with this?"

Where to start?

Xia Yan thought about it carefully, then said angrily: "Where do you start? Well, let's talk about Zhu Wan. You know that Zhu Wan was promoted by me, so why do you still have to fight him everywhere, causing him to commit suicide by shame and anger, and make me lose all my face."

Yan Song pretended to be innocent and said, "This, sir, you didn't seem to have told the lower officials that Zhu Wan is his own person, right? It seemed that the emperor mentioned Zhu Wan's throne in the morning court. The lower officials thought it was the emperor who signaled you to do this. Moreover, the wealthy maritime merchants have been working with us for many years, so of course I am helping the wealthy maritime merchants."

this!

When Xia Yan heard this, he was stunned. He did not tell Yan Song that Zhu Wan was his own person, and it has been more than a day or two for the wealthy maritime merchants to cooperate with them. There seemed to be nothing wrong with Yan Song helping the wealthy maritime merchants.

Is there any misunderstanding here?

He thought about it and simply said in general: "I won't talk about Zhu Wan's affairs. What about other things? Do you not know what you have done during this period? Every time I need help, not only do you not say anything, but even the people below do not say anything. Everyone thinks I don't exist. Is this what you call taking care of the people below on my behalf?"

Yan Song thought for a while and then explained: "This, lord probably misunderstood. Last time, the governor of Datong, Liu Tianhe, Xiaguan and Tu Qiao both came forward to support the lord. Although the final result was not satisfactory, that's the emperor's intention. Xiaguan did do his best, right?"

What happened to Datong Governor Liu Tianhe?

Xia Yan thought about it carefully and finally remembered it.

At that time, Yan Song and Tu Qiao did come forward to support him, but Jiajing obviously "favored" the Yangming lineage, and in the end they were still frustrated.

Did you really misunderstand Yan Song?

He said with a little confusion: "Then other things, what explanation do you do for other things?"

Hehe, it looks almost the same.

Yan Song couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be wronged and said, "Oh, sir, the lord knows that some things are not liked to listen to, so he has never dared to mention them in front of the lord. However, since lord asked this today, the lord would dare to say a few words. Sir, you should be very clear about the emperor's temper. Sometimes we should still be careful about the emperor's idea. If the emperor doesn't want to do something, even if we come forward, we can't change it."

Is that true?

Xia Yan subconsciously retorted: "The emperor should also put the country first, right? How can we let the emperor do what he wants?"

You are seeking death!

Yan Song was too lazy to remind Xia Yan that it would be better if this guy died.

However, before dying, you still have to make good use of it.

He thought about it and then said vaguely: "Well, sir, what the sir is right, but sometimes we can't force the emperor into a hurry, right? So, the subordinates have not come forward several times, and I hope sir can forgive me."

What I said seems to make some sense. Did I really misunderstand him?
