Different tones, different words, already represent different emotions.

Huang Jin has been figuring out Jiajing's mind for most of his life, and naturally guessed that the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, so he immediately didn't dare to breathe, and sent someone to summon Xu Jie.

Xu Jie has been the first assistant for more than half a month, and the whole person is getting more and more generous. Unlike his predecessor Yan Song, who followed Jiajingpan's desk and worked in front of the desk, he still stayed at his desk, dealing with the affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

After learning that the emperor had summoned him, he seemed to be in no hurry to put down the music in his hand, straightened his clothes, and followed the little eunuch to the Wanshou Palace without saying a word.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After passing through the passage of the little eunuch, Xu Jie entered the cool palace through the door, passed through the smooth mirror-like floor, and came to the quiet room to salute respectfully.

Jiajing, dressed in a Taoist robe, did not sit on a bright yellow futon, but stood in front of a desk, holding a wolf's gold pen, and was swaying pen and ink on the white rice paper.

Time passed bit by bit, and the whole hall could be heard.

Jiajing did not respond to Xu Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, but continued to move the pen on the white rice paper, and with the completion of the last pen, he put the pen away while examining his results.

He actually likes calligraphy very much, and the reason why he was promoted to Yan Song in the past is actually because Yan Song's calligraphy is outstanding. However, his talent is limited, and his calligraphy level is very average.

Huang Jin had been waiting respectfully beside him, seeing that he had already written, and immediately stepped forward to take the golden pen with both hands.

Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie, who was honestly kneeling on the ground, took the silk handkerchief presented by a palace maid, and said plainly: "Xu Aiqing, let's be flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xu Jie suddenly came back to life, there was no strangeness on his face, and he stood up in a polite manner.

Of course, from the moment he stepped into this palace gate, he had been seriously speculating about the emperor's thoughts. Although everything seemed to be so normal, he still quickly felt the emperor's "slowness" and faintly felt the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Jiajing's eyes didn't fall to Xu Jie, but he greeted directly: "I was upset today, and I wrote a few words in my spare time!" Xu Aiqing, come over and take a look, how is this character written? ”

Xu Jie responded respectfully, and did not dare to secretly observe the emperor's face, because he had always created an honest and responsible image for the emperor, and he seemed to bend down and walk towards the desk in a proper manner.

When I came to the table, I saw that on the rice paper, it was resolutely mellow four words: "Good is like water".

Xu Jie knew that the emperor had always liked to be dumb, and then handed it over to the courtiers below to touch, and realized the "holy will" from it. Yan Song and Yan Shifan were both masters in this area in the past, so they were very favored.

The good is like water, from "Lao Tzu": the good is like water, the water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Meaning: The supreme character is like water, and Ze is surrounded by all things without fighting for fame and fortune. Do not see with the world in general, do not compete with the world for a while, so that the softest but can accommodate the world's mind and bearing.

The sudden placement here at the moment already means something else.

Jiajing wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a silk handkerchief, handed the handkerchief back, looked at Xu Jie gently, and asked, "Xu Aiqing, does this word mean mild?" ”

Xu Jie already had the answer in his heart, and immediately said complimentarily: "Back to the emperor, these four words are soft, like a light breeze, like the rising sun, which is really comfortable!" ”

Although Huang Jin was by Jiajing's side, he couldn't grasp what the emperor meant, and couldn't help but look at Jiajing suspiciously.

Jiajing walked back to the long case, but Jiajing didn't need to bend down. Feng Bao on the side saw Jiajing's gaze fall on the stack of songs, and immediately understood Jiajing's intentions and raised the stacks of music high.

Syllable!

Jiajing picked up the stack of songs, and threw them to the ground and said, "It's just that these officials are uncomfortable!" They are unwilling to let go of an eighty-three-year-old Shoufu, and they have to force their family to ruin! ”

"Please calm the emperor's anger!"

Xu Jie was shocked when he heard this, and immediately fell to the ground and persuaded loudly.

He finally understood the emperor's true intention of calling him over, and dared to think that it was he Xu Jie, who was instigating all this behind his back, and it was he who led these officials to impeach Yan Song and ask the emperor to liquidate Yan Song.

However, the emperor is obviously wrong to blame him for this incident. Yan Song's various actions in the past have already completely offended the Qingliu officials, and those officials naturally want to "take revenge" when they see Yan Song go into the wilderness.

Now he just wants to sit firmly in the position of the first assistant and purge the Yan party, but he has no intention of killing Yan Song.

Of course, there are many of his people in the group of officials who have been impeached, and even the reason why some officials have impeached Yan Song may be to curry favor with him, the new first assistant.

Jiajing looked coldly at Xu Jie, who was lying on the ground, and endured the anger that would explode at any time, and said in a deep voice: "Old Yan Ge has retired, and his son has been ambushed, if you dare to speak again, cut him down!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and the two words "beheaded" in particular fully revealed the emperor's determination to protect him.

Xu Jie's heart tightened slightly, although the body of the saint today is not as good as before, but it is still the emperor who is dictatorial. If you really dare to go against his will, I am afraid that it will be like the Zuo Shunmen bloody case in the past, and it will be another bloody storm.

"Remember!"

Xu Jie naturally did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes, and immediately respectfully bowed.

But in his heart, it is difficult to hide the loss. Although he has now taken Yan Song's place, I am afraid that in the emperor's heart, Yan Song's hometown is still far more important than him.

In the past few days, he has turned a blind eye to the matter of Yan Song's impeachment of Yan Song, which is not a kind of temptation for the emperor. It's just that I never thought that the emperor would be so open to Yan Song.

Jiajing has never been a king who will be kind to his subordinates, and seeing that what he should say has been said, he said lightly to Xu Jie: "Go down!" ”

"Retire!" Xu Jie respectfully saluted, and he left the Wanshou Palace.

It was obviously dog days outside, but a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back, and he looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, but he sighed helplessly.

Although Yan Song has left, he still has a very high status in the emperor's heart. Even if he wants to liquidate Yan Song and achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Yan Party, I am afraid that this plan will have to be abandoned, or it will be seen after a while.

At present, we can only attack the Yan Party one by one, and cannot completely annihilate them in one fell swoop.
