It's been a really bad year.

Yan Song and Xu Jie both thought so in their hearts.

Yan Song is not afraid of impeachment, but the problem now is that the people below are likely to point the finger at Emperor Jiajing.

The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang spent so much effort to kill Hu Weiyong and abolish the position of prime minister, and since then he has set the basic plate of the Ming Dynasty's governance, which is light on the center and heavy on six departments.

This move affected the entire Ming Dynasty, so that the most unique selection system of the first assistant of the cabinet in history appeared, Zhongjin Shi, into the Hanlin to boil the qualifications, Zhan Shifu, Guozijian, and then directly promoted to Shilang and even Shangshu, and finally entered the cabinet as the chief assistant.

The prime ministers of the Tang and Song dynasties did not go to the place and did not enter the center, while the Ming Dynasty was the opposite, once out of Beijing, the possibility of entering the cabinet was very small.

Therefore, although the cabinet was the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, it did not actually directly handle government affairs, and it was still the six ministries that actually handled affairs.

The first assistant of the cabinet has more of a sense of presence in reconciling yin and yang, in other words, with the mud.

Because the head of the cabinet stands at the peak of power, he represents not only himself, but the entire civil service system.

And the first assistant of the cabinet is the person who has the most contact with the emperor in the civil system, and he needs to play tai chi between the civil system and the imperial power, trying to satisfy both sides, or give in to both.

But Yan Song is really not a good hand at making peace with the mud, because he has always been bent on welcoming Emperor Jiajing, and he has never ignored the shouts of the civil system.

This is the real reason why countless civil officials spurn Yan Song.

Now Yan Song is also anxious, and he can't wait to jump out and point at his nose, why are you impeaching the old man and me, why are you going to provoke Your Majesty?!

Even though Yan Song has been called a traitor by countless people and claimed to be the most powerful in the world, in fact, there are many young officials who are the top iron among the officials of the Daoyan Dynasty, and even the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot control it.

Once there was a large number of requests in the congratulatory form, Emperor Jiajing asked for self-examination and self-reflection, and issued an edict for his own crimes...... Yan Song was almost certain that Emperor Jiajing would be furious, but the problem was that the earth dragon turned over in a real way.

This black cauldron is likely to be smashed on Yan Song's back, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, and you can't control the situation...... The anger in Emperor Jiajing's heart may be vented on Yan Song.

Even if there will be no such extreme scene, Yan Song doesn't want to see Emperor Jiajing regain his court, after all, Emperor Jiajing is not young, and he is not young, no one will hang their resentment on King Yu, but there will definitely be people who will throw resentment on Yan Song's descendants.

"Bang!"

The dead door was kicked open, Yan Shifan walked in with a smile, and the dozen or so people crowded in the small room glared angrily.

"Have you written the greeting sheets?" Yan Shifan smiled and pointed at one of them, "You are the Ministry of Industry, it seems that your surname is He, well, I remember that Zhang Sijing, who was demoted out of Beijing last year, is your in-law." ”

Zhang Sijing was the leader who did not lose the word "longevity" on the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, and was seriously injured in the court staff and went out of Beijing to Yunnan.

A group of Yan Mansion people rushed in in an orderly manner, and opened the congratulatory sheets written on the table one by one in front of Yan Shifan.

Among the more than a dozen congratulatory sheets, there were seven or eight words in the edict alone, Yan Shifan's eyelids were jumping, and he secretly scolded himself for being harmed by Qian Zhancai during this time, and rubbing his numbness every day......

Yan Shifan Nunuzui asked people to put the congratulatory watch back, and drove most of the subordinates out of the house and rolled up their sleeves......

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

One person rewarded a big mouth, and more than a dozen people looked embarrassed but didn't say a word, Yan Shifan sneered and went straight out.

"Does it work?" Bai Qichang asked in a low voice: "What if they still want to talk nonsense in the congratulatory table?" ”

"Either you can't bear this breath and impeach your father or Yan in the congratulatory table." Yan Shifan pursed his lips, "Either endure the anger for a while and continue...... How did Zhancai say it at that time...... To die, yes, even to die, Your Majesty can also see what my Yan Mansion has done. ”

This is for His Majesty to see, Bai Qichang nodded, and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Next...... The officials all gave Sun Ji in the matter, and this guy is not small. ”

"Let's go, then." Yan Shifan got into the carriage, and immediately a maid took a hot towel and put it on his hand, and Yan Shifan's hand hurt very much tonight.

Suddenly, Yan Shifan lifted the curtain, summoned Bai Qichang to a nearby place, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on over there in Huating?" ”

"It is said that Xu Shezheng visited one by one, and I don't know what the effect is." Bai Qichang pursed his lips, "This kind of thing can't just let Yan Fu contribute." ”

……

Wanshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing's cold laughter sounded in the apse, "Okay, very good, Kedao Yanguan...... It's a big forgetfulness. ”

Obviously, what Emperor Jiajing saw was not because the earth dragon turned over, and the officials wanted to make trouble; It was last year that the six departments headed by Zhang Sijing were given forty rods in the matter, and now someone wants to overturn the case.

The reason is here, the several people led by the tandem people, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials are all in the matter, the two lecturers of Guozijian, and the three editors of the Hanlin Academy are all the same year, fellow villagers and even in-laws of Zhang Sijing's gang last year.

Looking down at the paper full of names again, Emperor Jiajing turned the page, and his face looked a little better.

Lu Bing said at this time: "Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are trying their best to eliminate this move, but the methods used are different......

"Of course." Emperor Jiajing smiled.

Yan Shifan oppressed with power, and Xu Jie persuaded each other with affection, judging from the actual effect, it is likely that the former is more effective.

Doing so is nothing more than sharing the worries of Emperor Jiajing, and there will definitely be many officials who will point the finger at Xu Jie and Yan Song because of fear, resentment, and other reasons.

Although the intention of this move is shallow and will be seen through at a glance, the effect is definitely there, and Yan Song and Xu Jie's move is more for Emperor Jiajing.

"Wait." Emperor Jiajing threw two pieces of paper on the table, "My eyes are wide open, and I can't miss any of them." ”

Lu Bing and Huang Jin bowed at the same time.

Out of Xiyuan, Lu Bing got on the horse and walked forward along the street, his eyes fell on the gate of a house in the distance, and he hesitated for a moment before turning his horse's head and leaving, this kind of thing teacher Li Mo really shouldn't be messed with, after all, Yan Song and Xu Jie are the first and second assistants of the cabinet, and Li Mo has not yet entered the cabinet.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and a brocade-clothed guard galloped over, "Commander, there are also people on the side of the examiner who are instigating and instigating, do you want to ......?"

Lu Bing turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who is the leader?" ”

"Originally, the people who were supposed to take the exam were very quiet, and a few guys from Guozijian were making a fuss, but a few hours ago, someone in the Zhejiang Hall ......" Jinyiwei Xiaoxiao took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "It's Zhejiang Xinke Township trying to solve Yuan Xu Wei." ”

"Just him?"

"He's the only one."

Lu Bing paced back and forth a few steps, waved his hand, and said, "Find someone to get him out and arrest him." ”

"Locked up?" Colonel Jinyiwei was a little uneasy.

"Locked up?" Lu Bing snorted, "This is a hornet's nest, if you lock it up, you will stab the hornet's nest, don't talk about you, even I have to be stained with fish." ”

"That ......"

Lu Bing smiled and shook the horsewhip in his hand, "There is a good place, he is definitely willing to go." ”

Well, Lu Bing's idea is a bit outrageous...... Of course, he didn't know what kind of medicine Qian Yuan brought to Xu Wei, who was seriously ill and dying, when he went south.

……

"Got it." Qian Yuan nodded, and said to the visitor: "Back to your master, rest assured, someone else will receive this love." ”

Over there, Xu Wei was still making a fuss, his body was dragged in by the two guards, and his two feet kicked in the air, almost kicking Yang Wen's face.

"Noise!" Qian Yuan waved his hand and shouted: "Plug his mouth!" ”

The next moment, Xu Wei quieted down.

Yang Wen gave a thumbs up to Qian Yuan, young master, you still have the ability to crush this guy to death.
