Great Ming: The Yan Family's Legitimate Grandson Keeps the Court Stable by Selling Out His Father!

In the thirty-ninth year of the Jiajing reign, Yan Shaoting opens his eyes to find himself the legitimate grandson of Yan Song and eldest son of Yan Shifan. In one year, the Yan family will be purged. He throws off the covers on the spot. “Sell all nine of Little Cabinet Secretary Yan’s concubines first!”

At Meridian Gate, Zhou Yunyi kneels and begs to die in exchange for an imperial edict of self-criticism. Yan Shaoting has the Embroidered Uniform Guard break his legs and throw him out. He looks even more ruthless than Yan Shifan, but in truth he has just saved Zhou Yunyi’s life. Back at the residence, he takes stock of the family fortune: fifteen hundred private properties, countless paintings and calligraphy, and two million taels in cash. He sells it all. The merchants drop to their knees, but Yan Shaoting slams the table. “The Yan family will be mine sooner or later. I’m selling my own property. What’s there to fear?”

Yan Shifan returns to find all his beautiful concubines gone and explodes in rage. Yan Song slowly opens his eyes. “Let him speak.” Yan Shaoting points at his father. “Grandfather is the one holding up the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Great Ming. You’re just doing your job under his protection. Prince Yu is surrounded by Xu Jie and Gao Gong. If the Yan family doesn’t find a way out now, we’ll be stripped of everything and wiped out!”

While the upright officials are still fighting the Yan faction, Yan Shaoting has already sold off the family fortune and knelt before the Jiajing Emperor. “This silver belongs to Your Majesty. The Yan family was merely managing it for you.”
