Chapter 1869: Crescent

Some things simply don't stand up to scrutiny! Xu Jie's intention to throw out this fake news is naturally to confuse Yan Song's death, and it is naturally impossible for a dignified first assistant to be bored enough to entertain the people, and the greatest possibility is to achieve political goals, and there is only one object of deception - Jiajing, who is hiding in the deep palace to recuperate.

There is a saying that sums it up well: when you exclude all the impossible factors, the remaining result, even if it is incredible, is the truth of the truth.

After Xu Jie held great power, especially when he became the most important courtier of the emperor, and even became Jiajing's eyes and ears, he already wanted to prevent some unfavorable news from reaching Jiajing's ears.

"Yes, Xu Jie should have wanted to conceal Yan Song's death, so he chose this ingenious time to throw this smoke bomb! Even if the eunuchs around the emperor want to tell Yan Song about his death, but it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in this matter now, I am afraid that no eunuch will be so self-deprecating! Sun Jixiang nodded lightly, also analyzing the authenticity.

After Wang Zhideng was shocked, he looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Why did Xu Jie do this? Yan Song is already dead, so he doesn't pose any threat to him at all? ”

The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth couldn't help but hang a wry smile, but he turned his head to look at Sun Jixiang.

"As the saying goes: people die and resent! What's more, the emperor has no grudge against Yan Song from beginning to end, and the removal of officials and the reduction of status are all due to Yan Shifan, which is more affectionate for the monarch and ministers. According to the old man's opinion, Xu Jie was probably worried that the emperor would bury Yan Song, and even directly pardoned the Yan family, so he deliberately threw this smoke bomb! Fortunately, we have been sending people to pay attention to the movements in Jiangxi, and we can't be afraid that we will also be kept in the dark, and we can even judge whether Yan Song is dead or alive based on speculation! Sun Jixiang picked up the teacup and analyzed it seriously.

I have to admit that Xu Jie's earlier rumor that "Yan Song took refuge with his protΓ©gΓ©" was very clever, which made the whole thing difficult to distinguish between true and false, and also created good conditions for him to conceal the emperor.

In this Ming Dynasty, none of the officials who participated in the party struggle were fuel-efficient lamps, and if they had a little brain, they might all be killed alive.

If Wang Zhideng was lucky that he had been paying attention to the movements in Jiangxi, he suddenly said with a slight movement in his heart: "If Yan Song's death is stabbed to the emperor, do you think we can get benefits?" ”

Lin Haoran didn't want to express too much of his heart, but looked at Sun Jixiang quietly.

"We are not related to Yan Song, and the benefits are also for the Yan family, but we have nothing to do with Dong Weng and the two of us!" Sun Jixiang met the eyes of the two, but responded bitterly.

Wang Zhideng knew that it was the Yan family who directly benefited from stabbing Yan Song's death to Jiajing, but he was unwilling to ask the question: "Then we [www.biquku.biz] stab the matter to the emperor, can we create some trouble for Xu Jie?" ”

Whether it is officialdom or business warfare, even if you can't get benefits, but you can achieve the goal of weakening your competitors, there is actually still operational value.

"Then it depends on whether Xu Jie is involved, whether he has already said something that should not be said in front of the emperor!" Sun Jixiang followed Wang Zhideng's train of thought and analyzed it seriously.

When Wang Zhideng heard this answer, he said with a wry smile: "Huang Jin is Xu Jie's person, what did Xu Jie really say to the emperor, how can we know it?" ”

"This morning, Xu Jie held a cabinet meeting!" Lin Haoran suddenly chose to speak, looked at the two people present and continued: "Xu Jie, on the grounds that the emperor wants to recuperate, asks our six departments to report to the cabinet according to the usual practice, and all the ministers must ask the first assistant for advice in case of trouble, and only go to the Wanshou Palace to face the saint together when there is really nothing to be done!" ”

When the inconspicuous things are connected, they are quietly arranged into a traceable thread, but some clues can be found from it.

Wang Zhideng is a smart person who likes to scrutinize, and he boldly concluded: "Xu Jie's move is too coincidental, could it be that this is caused by his weak heart, and he has already said something that should not be said in front of the emperor?" ”

"Mr. Sun, what do you think?" Lin Haoran did not rush to a conclusion, but looked at Sun Jixiang and said.

Sun Jixiang has a deep study of Jiajing and Xu Jie, but he mentioned another thing and said: "Dong Weng, there is news from the palace earlier, the emperor shouted Yan Song's name in his dream several times some time ago!" ”

"Could it be that Yan Songtuo's dream for the emperor is not possible?" When Wang Zhideng heard this, he secretly swallowed and foamed.

Sun Jixiang didn't expect Wang Zhiden to believe in ghosts and gods, but he analyzed rationally: "This pair of monarchs and ministers have gotten along with each other in more than 20 places, Yan Song once took Xiyuan as his home, and the emperor is now sick, it is really not surprising to dream of Yan Song!" After a pause, he turned his head to look at Lin Haoran and said: "Dong Weng, I also judged that Xu Jie lied in front of the emperor, and Xu Jie is a very cautious person, and it is precisely this matter that restricts Wu Ge's old face to be afraid of it!" ”

"Huh...... Let's stab Yan Song's death to the emperor, I'm afraid there will be unexpected gains! Wang Zhideng listened to Sun Jixiang's view with him, and said optimistically.

Sun Jixiang shook his head one after another, and said unoptimisticly: "This is all our speculation, and now it is not appropriate for Wu Ge to face the saint directly, and Dong Weng can't say Yan Song's death directly, this matter is too deliberate, I am afraid it is ...... Set yourself on fire! ”

It's not that whoever takes the charge can win the game, when you go directly to Jiajing to stab this matter, not to mention whether you can achieve the predetermined effect, I'm afraid you won't be able to get over your face.

Even if it's to stab someone in the back, it has to be done skillfully. Like in the past, Xu Jie gritted his teeth with hatred for Yan Song, but he did not run to Jiajing to say bad things about Yan Song, but chose to recommend Lan Daoxing to enter the palace to achieve his goal.

"Mr. Sun, I remember that the reason why the imperial court sentenced Wan Cai, the former Dali Temple, and Yan Maoqing, the right attendant of the former Criminal Department, to exile was that when the Jiangxi Inspector Cheng Shoujie copied the Yan family, he found evidence that the two of them hid Yan's silver, but is this the case?" Lin Haoran suddenly asked.

Sun Jixiang recalled slightly, and nodded lightly: "That's true, it was Cheng Shoujie who handed over the evidence of the two of them hiding silver to the Criminal Department, and Wan Cai of the original Dali Temple was sentenced to exile a while ago!" ”

Although many people know that when Luo Wenlong's house was raided, Hu Zongxian committed suicide in prison, few people know that when the raid on Yan's house was carried out, it affected Wan Cai, the former Dali Temple, Yan Maoqing, the right attendant of the former Criminal Department, and Liu Boyue, the left attendant of the former Ministry of Works.

"Dong Weng, what are you ......" Wang Zhideng couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Lin Haoran's gourd, and looked at Lin Haoran suspiciously.

Lin Haoran looked up at the crescent moon outside the window, although the crescent moon at the beginning of the month was blurry, but it was already hanging in the night sky, but he said with another meaning: "Maybe the time we are waiting for has come!" ”
