In the back garden of the Lin Mansion, the afternoon sun shines obliquely on the clear pool water, and the lotus flowers on the ground are trying to stretch the greenery, showing a sense of tranquility here.

Lin Haoran and Sun Jixiang sat opposite each other, Lin Hai stood not far away waiting for orders, Lin Fu stood in front of the Moon Hole Gate on guard, and Lin Jinyuan was dealing with the affairs of the house.

Everything has a cause and must have an effect, although Jiajing is not a wise monarch, but he is not a stupid person, but an extremely smart emperor.

With Jiajing's ingenuity, it is impossible to believe that Yan Shifan really wants to rebel with just a few words from a small Nanjing imperial history, and then he wants to destroy the Yan family.

More than 20 years of monarchy and courtiership affection is not something that a small Nanjing imperial history can provoke, even Xu Jie, there must be something he doesn't know.

Sun Jixiang had already seen Lin Haoran's intelligence, so he nodded lightly and responded bitterly: "Dong Weng sees this very clearly, but during this period, there is a variable!" ”

"What variables?" Lin Haoran's heart moved slightly, and he immediately asked suspiciously.

Because he was under house arrest for nearly a month, he was like a deaf man. This is also the reason why he learned from Lin Fu's mouth that Yan Shifan was sentenced to beheading, he did not rashly choose to act, many things in the court will never be as simple as they seem.

Sun Jixiang took a sip of strong tea, and then revealed the matter: "When today's son values filial piety, this is a well-known thing in the world!" The emperor went to the tomb in the middle of this month to worship his parents, and the emperor felt that the palace was too old, so he decided to rebuild the palace on the spot! ”

"I remember that the Qi'en Hall of Xianling is based on the Jingling system, which is a lot of silver taels!" Lin Haoran stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Unlike the later generations who could easily build a high-rise building, it was quite expensive to build a palace at this time. Not only did it take a large number of workers, but it also had to cut tall golden silk nanmu from the south and transport it to the capital, and each beam and pillar was more valuable than gold.

Sun Jixiang sighed lightly and responded bitterly to Lin Haoran: "Xu Jie did not lead a hundred officials to dissuade him at that time, but immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to verify the cost of rebuilding the Qi'en Palace, and the cost turned out to be as high as 730,000 taels!" ”

Lin Haoran was already mentally prepared, but when he heard that the Qi'en Hall would cost 730,000 taels, he couldn't help but think that Hu Zongxian had withdrawn 33,000 taels from the Jiaxing Mansion Treasury to dismiss the wolf soldiers and compensate the families of the casualties and soldiers, and he ended up being impeached and dismissed.

Sun Jixiang kept looking at Lin Haoran, and added seriously: "I specially asked Wang Honghai to help me check the information, and the cost is thirty percent higher than the Qi'en Hall that I built before!" ”

"Which one is Xu Jie, which one are you going to sing? It's impossible for him, the old man of the Licorice Pavilion, to do something sinnerly, let alone get 730,000 taels for the emperor, I'm afraid he can't get 70,000 taels, right? Lin Haoran knew that Xu Jie would not make money as wantonly as Yan's father and son, so he analyzed in confusion.

Sun Jixiang put down the teacup gently, and said helplessly to Lin Haoran: "What Xu Jie wants is actually this situation!" In the second impeachment of Yan Ge Lao, Lin Run focused on Yan Nian, the slave of the Yan family, and Peng Kong's family, who sought hundreds of millions of dollars, and Yan Shifan once threatened that the court was not as rich as me! Speaking of this, he added bitterly: "Dong Weng, Xu Jie seems to be digging a pit for himself, but he is actually digging a grave for the Yan family!" ”

In this way, even if the emperor knew that he had wronged Yan Shifan, he would still acquiesce to Xu Jie's copying of the Yan family. First, the emperor can't tolerate the Yan family, which is rich and rivals the country; The second is that only by copying the Yan family will the emperor have enough silver to repair the Grace Hall of the Tomb! Lin Haoran took a slow sip of tea and turned his head to look in the direction of Xiyuan.

If it was just because of the impeachment of a Jiangnan patrol imperial historian, the emperor would not be so confused, and he would really kill the loyal Yan family in the past. It's just that the Yan family's wealth rivals the country, and Jiajing needs a large amount of silver to rebuild the Qi'en Hall of Xianling for his parents, everything seems to make sense.

Sun Jixiang also went through the collection of a lot of information to find out what happened, and he also warned seriously: "Dong Weng, Xu Jie, this person is kind and ruthless, you must be careful in your actions in the future!" ”

"I know that if Xu Jie's chance, he will not be soft in the slightest, and he will also put me to death!" Lin Haoran also knew it, and responded bitterly.

Although later generations praised Xu Jie's pushing Yan Shifan to the top of the broken stage, this is to eliminate traitors for the country, but Lin Haoran does not think so.

If Xu Jie really cares about the righteousness so much, then he should choose to start when the Yan family and his son are in trouble with the government, instead of waiting for the tiger's teeth to be pulled out for several years, then he suddenly remembered to "eliminate traitors for the country" and beat the water dog against the declining Yan family.

Sun Jixiang looked at Lin Haoran and listened to this warning, and said no more.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think I should do now?" Lin Haoran held the tea cup from the table, and he was seriously asking for advice.

Sun Jixiang has been thinking about Lin Haoran these days, so he met Lin Haoran's gaze and said seriously: "Now that the emperor wants to rebuild the Qi'en Hall of Xianling for his parents, he has already tacitly allowed Xu Jie to copy the Yan family's wealth, and Yan Shifan can't save it!" ”

"Yan Shifan can be executed for the crime of 'framing Zhongliang', but the court sentenced him to the crime of rebellion without any evidence, which is in vain to ignore the Ming Dynasty's heavy code, and I am afraid that this case will cause endless trouble!" Lin Haoran frowned slightly, still opposing in his heart.

Sun Jixiang said bitterly: "Dong Weng, the heavenly family is ruthless, and the court has no way!" If Dong Weng reached out to rescue Yan Shifan at this time, he would not only offend Xu Jie, but also offend the emperor, please be cautious! ”

"There should be good news over there in Jiangxi, right? Can't you really make good use of Yan Shifan's matter to disrupt this court? Lin Haoran was also an assertive person, and asked seriously.

In the original plan, he was actually prepared, and even planned to knock the stuffy stick behind Xu Jie. It's just that the plan can't catch up with the change, because of the host's meeting, he was forced to be under house arrest for nearly a month.

Sun Jixiang sighed heavily, and said to Lin Haoran bitterly: "Dong Weng is like a god, there is indeed good news coming from Jiangxi, and he can do it at any time!" It's just that Dong Weng has been locked up in the Tribute Courtyard for nearly a month, and Yan Shifan has been beheaded by the imperial court. ”

"Mr. Sun, I don't want to stay out of it! It's just that this matter is probably not over yet, Xu Jie is likely to use this to point the finger at my father-in-law, and there will even be a power reshuffle in the court! Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and said what he was most worried about.

Under the impetus of Xu Jie, Yan Shifan was punished for conspiracy, so not only Yan Song would be liquidated, but also those who had close contacts with Yan Shifan in the past would not be attacked by the officials.

On the contrary, his father-in-law once went to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, but once he was charged with trying to rescue the traitor Yan Shiqiu, he would be in great trouble.
