Yang Congzheng led his army to fight Altan Khan between Tongzhou and Jizhou. Some people in the capital were not idle either.

For example, Yan Song was just trying to fight Qiu Luan.

Of course, he didn't want to kill Qiu Luan. He would have to die if he didn't need to punish him. He was aware of the money Qiu Luan had obtained from corruption over the years.

Qiu Luan's greed is famous, and even he feels a little ashamed of himself. This guy has been greedy for so many years in the Northwest China. Not to mention too much, there must be a million taels of silver.

If he didn't find a way to get the money, it would definitely be confiscated by the court in the end, which would be a pity.

Some people, like this, have a little money, want more money, and want more, and there is never an end. Even if they can't spend all their money in this life, or even in several lifetimes, they still feel that it is not enough.

There are many such people, and Yan Song is the leader among them. This guy is said to have more than 10 million taels of money!

What does ten million taels mean? It is calculated at every two or six hundred yuan, which is six billion!

This money may not be an exaggeration in later generations. There are many people who have assets of more than 6 billion in later generations.

However, it is so exaggerated now that it is because there are no exaggerated consumptions in later generations at all.

For example, luxury cars, luxury houses, private jets, etc., it seems that it is not impossible to spend all of them at all, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions or six billions.

It’s different these days. Most houses are dozens of taels, and you can build a very good luxury house just a few hundred taels. As for luxury cars, private jets, etc., it’s nothing at all. As for luxury consumption, most of them are antique calligraphy and paintings or luxury furniture. If you spend a few thousand taels to buy one of these things, people will think that you have a problem with your mind, and buying too much is meaningless, so it won’t cost much.

In other words, these days, it is enough to have hundreds of thousands of taels, and basically, it will never be spent in your entire life. However, Yan Song was greedying for millions of taels and still had to be greedy for desperately, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.

Perhaps many people who think they will never have enough money can understand this problem. It is very difficult for ordinary people to figure it out, so I won’t go into it in depth here.

By the way, even if Yan Song targeted Qiu Luan's money, how could Qiu Luan give it to him? Even if the two of them had no grudges, Qiu Luan would be a dying person. Even his family would be implicated. It would be meaningless to give Yan Song this money. Why should Qiu Luan do this for one more effort?

Of course Yan Song had a way, because he could save Qiu Luan's life, and even if the time came, he could even save Qiu Luan's life!

Taking money to buy life is Qiu Luan's most familiar business. Doesn't he mean to give money to the Tartars to work hard? Yan Song believes that as long as such fearful people have hope of living, money will definitely be given to them.

Sure enough, after he used his secretly cultivated confidants to pass the news to the imperial prison, Qiu Luan immediately responded impatiently.

If Yan Song could save his family's life, he would respect Yan Song half of the corruption gains, guaranteeing that it would never be less than 500,000 taels.

If Yan Song could save his life, then he would respect Yan Song more than 90% of the corruption gains, guaranteeing that it would not be less than one million taels.

Of course, these have a prerequisite, the premise is that the emperor does not issue an order to confiscate his house. If the emperor confiscates his house, Yan Song will not get any benefits even if he helps.

Of course Yan Song would not help Qiu Luan in vain. So, how can he save Qiu Luan and his family, or even his corruption gains?

This takes a time, a perfect time.

Yan Song believed that Yang Cong would definitely create this opportunity for him.

As expected, only a few days after Yang Cong took office, good news came from Tongzhou. The Tartars were trapped in the plan to divide their troops and lure the enemy. They fell into the trap. As a result, they were defeated and fled.

Both the Ming army from the east and west sides won a complete victory, winning more than 20,000 Taurus heads, capturing more than 10,000 Taurus cavalry, fighting with horses and leather armor.

This Yang Cong is indeed amazing!

Yan Song was so happy when he received the news.

Because he was waiting for this opportunity. As long as Yang Cong won a big victory on the front line, he would take the opportunity to excuse Hou Qiuluan, Xianning!

As for whether Yang Cong would rise up and suppress him because of this, he was not very worried. Today is different from the past. Now, he is already the chief minister of the cabinet. It is not that easy for Yang Cong to pull him down and replace him.

After receiving the battle report, he immediately ran to the Qianqing Palace and reported the good news to Jiajing.

Jiajing was really curious when he heard Yan Song ask for a meeting, because he was practicing now.

Yan Song, however, had a very eyebrow. When he was practicing, Yan Song would not disturb him at all. Only when he finished practicing would Yan Song wait for him to appear in a proper place.

This time, why did this guy come to disturb him in his practice?

Of course, he could guess something vaguely. Something big had happened to the front line of Tongzhou, otherwise Yan Song would not have come so rush to ask for a meeting.

Although he had some preparation in his heart, he never thought that as soon as he ordered someone to report Yan Song to meet him, Yan Song ran in and shouted excitedly: "Master, good news, good news, Lord Yang led his army to defeat the Tatar cavalry, and the siege of Jizhou has been lifted. At this moment, the Tatars are fleeing north in panic."

ah!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

True or fake?

In just a few days, Yang Cong defeated the Tartars and fled. Is it possible?

He thought that it would take a while for Yang Cong to take over the military power and train the army. When he suddenly heard the news of Yang Cong's victory, he was really unable to react.

This surprise is too big, right?

He was stunned for a while, then he took the memorial from Yan Song and looked carefully.

Sure enough, the memorial was as Yan Song said, and the Tartars had been defeated and fled by Yang Cong.

OK!

It's simply great!

Jiajing was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but Yan Song suddenly asked seriously: "Emperor, since the siege of Jizhou has been resolved, should we deal with the matter of the Queen Qiuluan of Xianning?"

This traitor almost forgot about him!

Upon hearing this, Jiajing nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to clean up this soul. If Qingfeng hadn't said he wanted to block the news, I would have wanted to kill him."

Perhaps because of the big victory on the front line, he didn't look angry at all when he said this.

Yan Song secretly glanced at him, then pretended to be embarrassed: "This, the emperor, after killing Zhongliang in vain, it's not a good idea, right?"

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Yizhong, what do you mean? Shouldn't such a traitor who colludes with enemies and sells the country be killed?"

Yan Song quickly explained: "Qiu Luan deserves to be killed, but his ancestor Qiu Yue has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. Now that Qiu Yue's body is not cold, is it a bit too much for us to slaughter his descendants?"

this!

When Jiajing heard this, his face stopped.

The Marquis of Xianning Qiu Yue was indeed outstanding in his achievements, otherwise he would not have been able to jump from an ordinary mercenary to become a hereditary marquis.

The group of Xianning Hou was also quite loyal to him. When he ascended the throne, he received the support of Xianning Hou Qiu Yue. At that time, he wanted to let Xianning Hou Qiu Yue be the governor of the Three Thousand Camps. Unfortunately, Qiu Yue died of illness before he took office.

Isn’t it really too much to slaughter Qiu Yue’s descendants before his bones were cold?

Thinking of Qiu Yue, he really couldn't do this.
