February is a season of spring, but a dark cloud quietly hangs over the city of Beijing.

The people of the capital are accustomed to this kind of weather change, and when they see the dark clouds overhead, some people rush home, while others continue to be busy with the business at hand.

Xu Jie was originally on duty in the room ticket to plan the recital of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but the emperor suddenly summoned him, so he hurried to the Wanshou Palace, and then walked lightly through the main hall to the innermost bedroom.

Due to the emperor's illness has not recovered for a long time, he has less and less attention to government affairs, so that almost every vote of Xu Jie's plan can be implemented smoothly.

Faintly, he Xu Jie, is the real helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, and he is guiding the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty.

If he had a choice, he hoped that this situation could continue forever, and he had recently directly prevented Liu Wenbin's group of court alchemists from offering medicine to the emperor.

Xu Jie followed a little eunuch to the front of the room, and saluted respectfully to Jiajing on the dragon bed: "Minister Xu Jie, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"Flat!" Jiajing lay on the dragon bed and flipped through a note, and then said lightly: "Xu Aiqing, take a look at this song!" ”

Xu Jie glanced up at Huang Jin, Huang Jin's face showed a bitter gourd face, indicating that this was not a good thing, and then sent that piece of music to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie already knew from Huang Jin's face that this matter was extraordinary, so he solemnly opened the recital, and resolutely saw that it was Hai Rui, the director of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Households.

He and Hai Rui actually have some intersections, when he was sent to Yanping Mansion in Fujian Province as a pusher, and Hai Rui originally served as the teacher of Nanping County was under the jurisdiction of Yanping Mansion, but this is more than 20 years apart.

As for Hai Rui's participation in the 32nd Jiajing annual examination he presided over, he had no impression of Hai Rui at all, and he didn't know if there was Hai Rui's share in his degraded papers.

Xu Jie read this "Public Security Sparse" with these distracting thoughts, but the more he read it, the more frightened he felt. This Hai Rui is not touching the tiger's buttocks, he is simply kicking the tiger's buttocks, which is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

It was also at this time that he knew why the emperor suddenly summoned him, this Hai Rui was simply pierced the sky. With his understanding of Jiajing, even if Hai Rui is broken into pieces now, the emperor will think that Hai Rui is too cheap.

"Xu Aiqing, what do you think?" Jiajing followed the past, and chose to ask Xu Jiedao.

Xu Jie was about to answer, but found that Huang Jin, who was standing on the edge of the bed, shook his head gently at him, and for a moment he didn't know what Huang Jin meant, so he responded like a common enemy: "Hai Rui slandered the king, it's an unforgivable crime!" ”

This time, he did not express too much personal emotion, but adhered to the principle of always maintaining the majesty of Jiajing? Thus being in a position that can be advanced and retreated.

Is politics an art? And even more so, Xu Jie is undoubtedly the top master in this.

Jiajing is quite satisfied with Xu Jie's answer? He said lightly: "I have been sick for a long time? I can't get out of the palace, so I am criticized by this person! Hai Jui's words? It's not all nonsense! ”

Hey?

Xu Jie couldn't help but be slightly stunned, as the courtier who has accompanied Jiajing for the longest time? When even when he realized that Jiajing didn't hate Hai Rui to the core? It even meant to spare his life.

However, he thinks more deeply than ordinary people, although Jiajing's attitude towards Hai Rui seems to be tolerant, but it may also be a temptation of the emperor, and even doubts that he instructed Hai Rui to go on this trick.

After Xu Jie figured out these things? He responded cautiously: "Your Majesty? Hai Rui, as a minister, actually criticized the king like this, this is a great crime of disrespect! ”

Huang Jinfang said that this person was stupid, and when he was sparse, he had already prepared a coffin for himself? What do you think about this? Jiajing looked at things very lightly, and asked again.

Huang Jin heard Jiajing mention himself? There was just the right smile on his face. However, he also slowly sniffed out different flavors, but he didn't know if the emperor really forgave Hai Rui? Or is it a temptation to the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is a mastermind behind this matter? A small head of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs dare to do this? I'm afraid it's something to rely on! Xu Jie's heart moved slightly? When even if it's a bow.

Since it is impossible to accurately understand the emperor's thoughts, the most effective way is naturally to shift attention, so as to put himself in an absolute dominant position in this incident.

"Xu Aiqing, do you think someone is at the instigation of this matter?" Jiajing's brows immediately frowned, and a thick murderous intent suddenly erupted on his body.

If it was just Hai Jui's negligence, he might have forgiven Hai Jui's loyal behavior, and he also knew that Hai Jui could not be killed. But if Hai Jui was instructed by someone, then Hai Jui and the people behind him would have to die.

Huang Jin felt the murderous aura emanating from Jiajing's body, and his eyes looked at Xu Jie, which was obviously to add fuel to the fire!

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth rose slightly, what he wanted was this effect, after all, this matter couldn't be related to him, so he responded hypocritically: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare to make a judgment now, but this is indeed the old minister's speculation, Hai Rui's move is too abnormal!" ”

Since Jiajing has already thought in the direction of the conspiracy, then he can't talk to death, no matter what the final outcome of the matter is, it has nothing to do with him Xu Jie.

If you say who knows Jiajing best, after Yan Song went to Xiangxiang, Xu Jie, who has been with Jiajing for more than ten years, has already seen through Jiajing's suspicious nature.

Jiajing also felt that Hai Rui's presentation of this death-seeking note was a bit abnormal, and he also followed the direction of the conspiracy, and even spit out a word gloomily: "Check!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Jie's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he responded.

This "Public Security Sparse" is not only scolding Jiajing, this "After Song is gone, Yu Song is not before the Song, the world is not very clear" and "The minister is stubborn and the outside is a fool", clearly pointing at his Xu Jie's nose and scolding.

If you really spare Hai Rui, then it is equivalent to sitting on Hai Rui's words, what face will he have in the future? Therefore, we must muddy this matter, and we must find a way to clear ourselves, and we must make good use of this rare and good opportunity.

Huang Jin witnessed all this, and while worrying about Hai Rui's fate, he felt that this court was really not at peace for a moment.

On this day, the capital seemed very uneasy.

Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, held the holy oracle in his hand, and led a group of officials from the Criminal Department to directly break into the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, but he wanted to lock up Hai Rui, the director of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Households, who was extremely guilty in public.
