Xu's Mansion, in the chamber.

When Zou Yinglong walked in, in addition to Xu Jie, there were also Hu Song, the left attendant of the military department, Zhang Juzheng, the secretary of the Guozijian Division, Xu Fan, the Shaoqing of Dachang Temple, and a fat man wearing silk and satin.

"The student has seen the teacher!"

Zou Yinglong knew that the matter was not trivial, but he remained calm and respectfully saluted Xu Jie.

Xu Jie had just received the holy order to refuse his resignation, and with He Jiu's "suicide in fear of crime", the case was also clear, and naturally there was no need to pretend to insist on returning to his hometown.

Although he was wearing a set of old ordinary Cheng Zi clothes, the whole person still exuded the momentum of the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he pointed to an empty seat gently: "Yun Qing, you are here, sit down!" ”

"Thank you, teacher!"

Zou Yinglong thanked him, and bowed to Hu Song, the left attendant of the military department on the guest house, and nodded to Zhang Juzheng, the secretary of the Guozijian Department, and Xu Fan, the Shaoqing of Dachang Temple, and reluctantly showed a smile at the fat man with a raw face.

Although he has always been very disdainful of Shang Jia and despises this group of mercenary people, the person who can appear in the auxiliary family this time, if it is not a person who is related to the Xu family, it is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Brother Yunqing, I'll introduce you!" Xu Fan sat on the guest seat, familiar with Zou Yinglong, and then officially introduced: "This is Chen Boren, president of the Lianghuai Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The contemptible Chen Boren has seen Lord Zou!" Chen Boren said enthusiastically.

Zou Yinglong suddenly realized, and responded calmly: "It turned out to be President Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

For this guest of the former household secretary Gao Yao, at the same time frequently haunted the house of Yan Ne, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and appeared in his teacher's meeting hall today, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and secretly remembered the face of this fat man.

But I have to admit that although some people are in the opposition, they have a deep influence in the court. Like some ordinary squires, they established a reputation as teachers and students with many students by purchasing folk schools.

After Zou Yinglong sat down, Xu Jie picked up the teacup and asked directly: "Yun Qing, do you know that the teacher invited you over this time, what do you want?" ”

"There are many students who have been cultivated by teachers to have today, and I am willing to go to the soup for the teachers, at any cost!" Zou Yinglong had already vaguely guessed Xu Jie's intentions, and even responded loudly.

Xu Jie, facing the student who expressed such a statement, also took a sip of tea with satisfaction and said lightly: "How can a teacher make his own students go to the soup, I just need you to present a note in your own name!" ”

Fu Yinglong's heart knew that this matter was not trivial, and he even wanted to plant it on this note, but in the face of the teacher who was eyeing him, he immediately responded as usual: "The teacher treats the students like a mountain, but according to the teacher's orders!" ”

From the day he stepped into the Supervision Yuan, he knew what his greatest mission was, and today was the time for him, a student of science and Taoism, to shine.

"Yun Qing, with your words today, you will not be able to live up to my teachers and students!" Xu Jie looked at Zou Yinglong seriously, then looked at Hu Song and said, "Brother Ru Mao (Hu Song's character), how do you think this song should be played?" ”

Zhang Juzheng and the others turned their heads to look at Hu Song, wondering what this left squire of the military department thought.

Hu Song had already made up his mind in his heart, and immediately said with an attitude: "Now that the elder Yan Ge is old and can't do anything, the emperor has long been disgusted with him, and the opportunity we are waiting for has come!" ”

This......

When Zou Yinglong heard these words, his heart immediately raised his voice, and he looked at Hu Song with extreme complexity, this short and fat old man obviously wanted to die before him.

As speech officials, although they have always relied on stepping on the corpse of the court boss, they are deeply aware that there are two major taboos in the current court. First, do not be angry with the saints of today; Second, Yan Song cannot be impeached.

The former naturally does not need to be discussed, while the latter has too many lessons to be learned.

Far from talking about what happened to Yang Jiaoshan and Shen Lian, Wu Shilai and the other three were degraded as if they were still in front of them. From the promising official to the prisoner, or the magistrate who was released, this gap is too big.

Now that he really wants to impeach Yan Song, he can be sure that his situation will not be much better than that of Wu Shilai and others.

"No!"

But at this time, Zhang Juzheng clearly objected.

Hu Song is a Jinshi in Jiajing for eight years, has the experience of a magistrate, and has also been to Nanjing to serve as a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites.

Although he knew that this little Guozijian Siye was extremely valued by Xu Jie, he couldn't help but sink his face and asked, "Zhang Siye, I don't know what the old man said, why not?" ”

Although Zou Yinglong wanted to applaud Zhang Juzheng, he also knew that this short and fat little old man had always liked to rely on the old and sell the old, and he even held his own identity as a squire in the military department, which was really not something that their juniors could afford.

Zhang Juzheng maintained the arrogance of the minister, and said with reason: "Although Elder Yan Ge is old, and the emperor does intend to put the teacher in the position of first assistant, but if we impeach Elder Yan Ge, then the matter will inevitably be reversed!" ”

Before Hu Song could take his face and reprimand, Zhang Juzheng continued to analyze without humility or arrogance: "In the past 20 years, Yan Ge Lao has been the face of the emperor, so it is absolutely impossible for Yan Ge Lao to step down on the charge of traitor. If the emperor really punished Yan Ge Lao, then it proves that the emperor was wrong in protecting Yan Ge Lao many times before, and even misused a wrong first assistant for 20 years, how can this be what the emperor is willing to see? ”

When Hu Song heard this analysis, he couldn't help but nod lightly, and suddenly had a sense of being terrible, and he looked at this personable Guozijian Siye seriously.

Indeed, in the past twenty years of his career as the first assistant, Yan Song has already represented the face of the saint. If Yan Song is convicted and steps down, the emperor will also lose face, and the emperor will definitely not accept this result.

Hu Song took a sip of tea and asked seriously, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Let's wait a little longer, wait for a more appropriate time, a chance to have enough confidence to impeach and bring down Yan Song!" Zhang Juzheng immediately expressed his position clearly.

Although Yan Song gradually lost his favor, the emperor will definitely not "kill the killer" yet. The best thing to do now is to continue to wait, waiting for Yan Song to be too old to hold his body, or waiting for an opportunity to kill Yan Song with one blow.

When Xu Fan heard this, he immediately stood up and objected: "Master Zhang, we have been waiting too long, we can't wait any longer!" From his point of view, he very much hoped that the Yan family father and son would be pushed down immediately, so that their Xu family father and son would take the throne.

Zhang Juzheng was about to persuade, but Xu Jie, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Yes! We have been waiting too long, this time the old man was almost planted in the hands of Yan Shifan! ”
