Xu Jie came to the Wanshou Palace, and after passing through the ceremony, he followed a little eunuch into the palace lightly. For Jiajing's summons, he had actually been prepared in his heart for a long time.

The news from all sides has proved that the emperor has lacked patience with the aging Yan Song. Even though Yan Song has made many achievements, the monarch and ministers have accumulated a deep friendship, but Yan Song is still old after all.

If it's just simple aging, it's just that Yan Song doesn't have enough energy to deal with hundreds of officials for the emperor, and he can't make a decision immediately when he encounters problems, and he is more and more like a "waste".

Although this temptation was not from the hand of his protégé Zou Yinglong, but Zhang Wei, a disciple of Wushan who appeared out of thin air, it was undoubtedly a finding out of the emperor's attitude for him.

Now that the emperor has withheld that piece of music and has not lost it to the cabinet, and has not directly handed it over to Yan Song as before, this represents an attitude of the emperor, at least he is no longer as partial to the Yan family father and son as before.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jie had some regrets in his heart.

If he let Zou Yinglong's action be earlier, and the emperor is this attitude of no longer defending the Yan family's father and son, then he can undoubtedly be more optimistic at this time, and there is no need to worry about Zou Yinglong's reaction when he sends it to the emperor.

It was also a coincidence, if he had learned the news earlier, he would have been able to stop Zou Yinglong from going to the office, but he didn't hear the news until Zou Yinglong sent him to the General Administration, but he couldn't stop him if he wanted to.

"The ministers meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Xu Jie, who was wearing a python robe, came to the hall and saluted respectfully to Jiajing, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk to review the recital.

Due to the fact that his health has not been very good recently, the accumulated music has become high, and Jiajing is dealing with all kinds of things. When he saw Xu Jie's arrival, he immediately said lightly: "Flat, give a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen!"

Huang Jin personally sent the embroidery pier, and Xu Jie saluted respectfully, and then sat down on the bright yellow embroidery pier, and now he is already enjoying the same treatment with Yan Song.

In fact, since Xu Jie's proposal to rebuild the Wanshou Palace, he has been valued by Jiajing. Both the title and the gift are no longer the same as before.

Jiajing gave Huang Jin a look, and said directly to Xu Jie: "This is the impeachment of Yan Shifan by Zhang Wei, the supervising imperial historian, you can take a look first!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Xu Jie saluted seriously, and took the piece of music from Huang Jin's hand, and even if he read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

If it weren't for the fact that it was clearly written on it, supervising the imperial history Zhang Wei, he would definitely think that this was from Zou Yinglong, who was instructed by him, and the content of this note was simply written according to his intentions.

"Yan Shifan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, relies on his father's authority and has insatiable patents. Privately rewarded, widely bribed. so that the election law is corrupted, and the market is open. The group is small and the asking price turns to ......"

"Shifan is a gathering of guests, embracing Yan Ji, dancing and singing, today's water and drought are frequent, and there are many police in the north and south. And Yan Shifan is a daily affair, and the internal and external hundreds of people are inexhaustible, and the Sebi Creek is gully. Is the people safe and poor? Is Guoan sick? Is the catastrophe of heaven and man safe and secure? The ministers asked to behead the world and hang it in the city, thinking that the people and ministers were fierce and disloyal. Gou Chen's words were untruthful, and he was willing to kill. ”

……

It's just that there are some differences here, this note is different from the rumors of impeaching the Yan family's father and son, Zhang Wei just blindly denounced Yan Shifan's bad behavior, and almost didn't mention Yan Song.

Of course, if Yan Shifan's charges are confirmed, then Yan Song will naturally be implicated.

Xu Jie knew very well that this performance would definitely not come from the hand of a small supervising imperial history, but there must be a master behind it, and this person was very likely to be Wu Yuejing.

Suddenly, he found that he was still underestimating this book bag, and this time he shot quickly and accurately, and he was simply a politician of almost the same level as him.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Wu Shan would do something to Yan Song. Although Yan Song has to pay some responsibility for Xia Yan's death, the order to behead Xia Yan is from the emperor, and the two sides should not have such a big grudge.

Especially when Yan Song stepped down, he Wu Yuejing had just become the head of the household department, so there was no reason to enter the cabinet so quickly, and it was impossible to skip him and Yuan Wei all at once and become the first assistant.

"Xu Aiqing, do you feel embarrassed?" Jiajing saw Xu Jie's silence in his eyes, but asked with a smile.

Xu Jie immediately came back to his senses, and immediately hurriedly said, "No, the minister!" It's just that the stakes are very high, and I'm afraid that the matter will eventually involve Yan Ge Lao, and the minister doesn't dare to say anything! ”

Jiajing's face sank, and he said sternly: "Xu Aiqing, now it's about Yan Shifan, and it has nothing to do with Yan Ge Lao!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it undoubtedly revealed a frank meaning of protection for Yan Song. Maybe Yan Shifan is guilty, maybe Yan Song will step down because of this, but it is destined that Yan Song will not be imprisoned for his crimes.

Although Xu Jie had long expected such a result, his eyes couldn't help but flash a flash of hope, but he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has indeed heard that Yan Shifan often held banquets at home during this year's funeral, drinking and having fun, it is indeed ...... Unfilial! ”

He no longer cares about what the emperor will think of him, and at this moment he chooses some eye medicine to put Yan Shifan to death, thus dragging Yan Song into the quagmire.

"Xu Aiqing, can Yan Shifan be corrupt and pervert the law and sell his official position?" Jiajing was silent, and immediately asked.

Xu Jie deserved to be an old fritter, and immediately replied: "Although the minister has heard of it, but there is no evidence, and I ask the emperor to order a division to investigate and deal with it, so as to return the truth of a matter in the world!" ”

Huang Jin, who was standing next to the red lacquer pillar, glanced at Xu Jie, knowing that this was the meaning of attacking. Once Yan Shifan is investigated, this will release the emperor's attitude towards the Yan family's father and son to the outside world, and Yan Shifan may be in danger of escaping at that time.

"How can there be so many truths in this world!" Jiajing seemed to have seen through it, but he did not veto Xu Jie's proposal, but said lightly: "Xu Aiqing, Zhang Wei's recital, you can take it back!" ”

However, no matter what kind of order it is, it has never come from the emperor's decision, but is drafted by the cabinet and then submitted for approval. Once there is an accident, it is also the emperor who is deceived by traitors, and everything has nothing to do with the emperor.

Now Zhang Wei's recital is in the hands of Xu Jie, and his intention is also clear. If Xu Jie still doesn't know how to vote, then he has been in vain in officialdom for decades.

"Obey the order!"

Xu Jie took the piece of music and saluted respectfully.

Leaving from the Wanshou Palace, it was already afternoon outside, but there was no joy on Xu Jie's face.

Although the emperor's intentions have become more and more obvious, he obviously retains a strong friendship with Yan Song. For this point alone, with the influence of the Yan Party in the DPRK and China, there is no chance of turning the tables.

The most important thing is that even if he really succeeds Yan Song, once Yan Dang takes crazy revenge on him, plus Yuan Wei, Wu Shan, Guo Pu and others are eyeing him, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of first assistant.
