Hearing that Jiajing actually had this idea, Xu Jie's heart was anxious, and he persuaded with a firm attitude: "Yang Wei is about to be in Ji, Liao Zeji, and Liao is stable, and in the military department, the nine sides will be safe!" Its military talent should be the first in the Ming Dynasty, in order to stabilize the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, please think twice! ”

When Huang Jin heard this, he glanced at Xu Jie thoughtfully.

"Xu Ge's thinking is very appropriate, Yang Bo's military talent is above Jiangdong, and he is indeed more suitable to serve as the secretary of the military department!" Jiajing subconsciously regarded last year's entry into Mongolia as an accident, and nodded lightly in agreement.

"The Emperor Shengming!" When Xu Jie heard this answer, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand.

He was originally happy to see Yang Bo deflated, but if he was replaced by Jiangdong, the governor of Xuanda, as the secretary of the military department, it was the result he was most unwilling to see now.

The reason why Jiang Dong was able to successively hold the two important posts of military secretary and household secretary was that in addition to his outstanding military talent, he was a core member of the Yan Party.

Whether it is his long-standing alliance with Yang Bo, or in order to resist the resurgence of the Yan Party, he has a reason to lend a helping hand to Yang Bo at this time.

It was at this time that a little eunuch hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is already waiting outside the palace!" ”

Hearing Lin Haoran's arrival, Xu Jie was slightly stunned at first, and then he was also relieved. Compared with Yang Bo's little trouble, Lin Haoran's disaster is already greater, and this kid is probably in a catastrophe today.

Jiajing's eyelids were raised, and a word was spit out on his face full of seriousness: "Xuan!" ”

Xu Jie did not take the initiative to leave, but hoped to act as a bystander here, so he quietly stood by the side, intending to witness the fall of the most dazzling officialdom in the Ming officialdom in recent years.

"Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Weichen Rites Department, visited the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lin Haoran walked lightly to the front of the hall and saluted respectfully.

This hall is tall and empty, and whoever comes here will feel a sense of their own insignificance, and at the same time give birth to a deeper fear of imperial power.

Jiajing is an emperor who is good at using power, but he deliberately snubbed Lin Haoran for a moment, and then asked in a threatening manner without anger: "Are you guilty?" ”

In this era, the emperor is the heavens. Even a small disrespect to the emperor is a big crime, and Lin Haoran actually wants to trap the Son of Heaven in disbelief, which is naturally a great crime.

In just five words, it shows that "the shorter the words, the bigger the matter".

Xu Jie stood quietly aside, looking at Jiajing's attitude, and looked at Lin Haoran who was kneeling on the ground with schadenfreude in his eyes.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know where the crime comes from!" Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but raised his head and responded

Jiajing's brows frowned slightly, but he glanced at Huang Jin.

Huang Jin nodded understandingly, and reprimanded Lin Haoran: "The emperor once decreed: if the Francois does not return the land of the Mangara people, he will never summon his envoys. Now you are leading the Nanyang delegation to see you, it is clearly an intention to trap the emperor in distrust, and it is even more disloyal! ”

The voice was not loud, but it echoed in the hall, filled with an invisible sense of coercion.

"The minister is wronged!" Lin Haoran immediately exclaimed, and waited until the emotions were almost brewing, and then explained: "The emperor did not officially issue this will, but His Majesty gave an exhortation to Jiang Mian, who was the first assistant at the time, but Jiang Mian did not leave this holy will in the Ministry of Rites, and he was dismissed by the emperor and returned. Therefore, this holy will is only passed down orally, and it is difficult for ministers to distinguish its truth from falsehood, please ask the emperor to check it! ”

When Xu Jie heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

The former first assistant Jiang Mian is not someone else, he is the chief examiner who presided over the second year of Jiajing, and he is also his mentor.

In the second year of presiding over Jiajing's second annual examination, his teacher Jiang Mian took over the position of Yang Yanhe's first assistant. It's just that he is like Yang Tinghe, he is the opposing representative in the Great Rites Discussion, and he was finally dismissed from office after Yang Tinghe's footsteps.

Hearing Lin Haoran put the responsibility on his mentor, he had to stand up and accuse: "Lin Shilang, you are clearly trying to shirk your responsibility!" If you really take the emperor to heart, you will naturally find out the truth of the matter like Qin Minglei, instead of almost ignoring the emperor's words and not believing them! ”

This old horseman!

Lin Haoran watched Xu Jie's sideways kick, and couldn't help scolding in his heart, but he still explained to the emperor: "The minister did not shirk his responsibility, but just wanted to make it clear to the emperor that the minister did not ignore the emperor's distrust. Although it was only heard, the Franc people would never summon their envoys until they returned the land of the Mangarats, but the ministers had made some arrangements in advance. Before going to Beijing, the envoy of the Franc Machine had already leased the city of Malacca and the surrounding land from the king of Johor, Alaud-Din, so the Franc Robot actually returned the city of Malacca, and the Franc Robot had established diplomatic relations with Johor, the new state of Mangara, in the eighth year of Jiajing! ”

The predecessor of the Kingdom of Johor was the Kingdom of Malacca, the Portuguese invaded the city of Malacca in the sixth year of Zhengde, and the Sultan of the Kingdom of Malacca, Mahmoud Shah, led the army and civilians to move to Bargo and Johor to continue to resist the Portuguese invasion.

However, the Portuguese only occupied a small part of the Straits of Malacca, and Ala-Ude-Din succeeded to the throne and established the Kingdom of Johor in the Malay Peninsula, and had already made peace with the Portuguese.

"Is this a return? The emperor's holy candle shines, how can he be deceived by your words? Xu Jie snorted coldly, knowing that this kind of fooling method could not pass the emperor's level, so he immediately accused again.

Lin Haoran paid attention to the emperor's reaction, and explained: "The Francophile came across the ocean, but in fact, he coveted the spices and silk of my Ming Dynasty. Their occupation of the city of Malacca was inappropriate, but it was also a helpless move, and they have been forgiven by the Mangarats! Now he is willing to return the city to the Mangarats, but he still needs a place to live. Therefore, the minister begged the emperor to be innocent of the past of the Francophile, summon the envoy of the Franco, and form a friendship between the two countries! ”

Xu Jie's officialdom image is a good man, even if he hated Yan Song's father and son, he did not tear his face and attack him head-on.

Now seeing that Lin Haoran was still trying to push the emperor to meet the messenger of the Buddha Lang at this time, he just closed his mouth, knowing that this Lin Wenkui was killing himself.

Jiajing kept looking at Lin Haoran, who was kneeling on the ground, and then suddenly asked: "Is it true that the Francophile has leased Malacca City from the Mangara people?" ”

Hey?

Xu Jie found that things were completely different from what he expected, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the emperor in confusion, not knowing why the emperor had such an attitude.
