As we all know, since he was almost strangled to death by the palace maid, Emperor Jiajing moved to the West Garden on the west side of the Forbidden City.

Therefore, the cabinet that is most closely related to Emperor Jiajing among the hundred officials has not been relocated in theory, but the actual office location has also been relocated to Xiyuan.

There are a total of three people in the cabinet, Lu Ben does nothing, and he doesn't want to do anything, except for the occasional trip to Xiyuan, which is basically in the Forbidden City, and Yan Song and Xu Jie are old, and the winter in Beijing is very difficult, Emperor Jiajing authorized the sons of the two, Yan Shifan and Xu Fan, to serve in Zhilu.

There is no way, Emperor Jiajing often cultivates and alchemy for ten days and half a month, and Yan Song and Xu Jie are accustomed to sneaking around and slapping horses, and they never dare to leave Xiyuan.

Emperor Jiajing's road is diligent, and the two of them will congratulate, and Emperor Jiajing's road is stagnant, and the two of them will ask for guilt, and Emperor Jiajing is in a bad mood, so they have to ask for guilt......

Since May this year, Emperor Jiajing's mood has not been very good, and the letter that has just been sent to Xiyuan ignites his anger.

Looking at the figures of Yan Song and Xu Jie leaving in a hurry, Xu Fan in the Zhilu had a worried face, turned around and said, "Brother Yan Shi, this time, Jiangnan is troublesome again. ”

The only remaining eye of the obese Yan Shifan rolled his eyes, sat down with a golden knife, and snorted disdainfully, "Don't make a mistake about the seniority!" ”

Xu Fan's face immediately turned red, why do you want Lao Tzu to call you uncle?

Well, this can't be wrong, Yan Song is seventy-four this year, Xu Jie is fifty-one this year, Yan Shifan is forty-one, and Xu Fan is only twenty-six.

The young Xu Fan couldn't pull his face, Yan Shifan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and looked down at the folds by himself.

After more than an hour, Yan Song and Xu Jie finally returned, and the latter diligently supported the old former, reminding them of their worries from time to time.

"Alright, alright." Yan Song sat down tremblingly, sighed and said, "Zhang Tingyi has been in office for less than half a year, and he has no victory for the time being...... Meta quality is really nonsense! ”

Xu Jie did not sit down, but stood aside respectfully, "The Japanese robbers went ashore everywhere to plunder, Yuan Zhen is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and he misses his hometown, so he must be able to understand Shuangjiang Gong." ”

Although Yan Song was powerful, it was a bit surprising that Xu Jie was so respectful, and Xu Fan on the side only felt humiliated.

But Yan Shifan noticed something unusual, although his father and Xu Huating had never torn their faces, they were as they are today......

Zhao Wenhua's impeachment of Zhang Jing and Li Tianzhong was sent to Xiyuan by the General Political Envoy Department as soon as possible, and Yan Song was directly handed over to the eunuch Huang Jin without any delay.

Yan Shifan glanced at Xu Jie suspiciously, and thought in his heart what this guy had suffered in front of His Majesty......

Yan Song was old after all, and after a while, he took a breath and drank half a cup of hot tea before he recovered, "I have already sent someone to spread the word that Lu Ruli is coming over to take a turn, let's go back." ”

After a pause, Yan Song squinted at Xu Jie, who was still standing aside, "Zisheng, think about it again, after all, Zhejiang and Songjiang are over there...... You are more familiar, and Your Majesty may want to consult you. ”

"Don't dare to specialize, please ask Yuan Fu to show me." Xu Jie hung his head.

"Hehe, hehe." Yan Song smiled and waved his hand, "If the old man doesn't understand the military strategy, he won't talk nonsense." ”

Without waiting for Xu Jie to say anything, Yan Song motioned for Yan Shifan to help him walk out, Xu Jie followed closely behind, and diligently sent him out of Xiyuan before stopping.

"Father." Xu Fan asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty is furious?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Jie calmly looked at the back of the sedan chair in the distance, "Yuan Fu shouted for Zhang Tingyi, and said that he would send a letter to reprimand Zhao Wenhua......"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Xu Fan was stunned.

Xu Jie lowered his head and looked at the loess under his feet in silence.

The sedan chair returned to Yan's mansion, and a group of servants surrounded him, sent hot towels to clean their hands and faces, and it was already two quarters of an hour after the procedures were over.

Yan Shifan threw down the towel that was already cold and drove the servants out, before he asked with a smile: "Father, is Huating so respectful today?" ”

"For my father, I will protect Zhang Tingyi in front of Your Majesty." Yan Song said slowly: "If you are defeated, you can't be punished, but now that you have not been in office for half a year, you still need a little patience, and there is Zhu Kun's incident back then...... The past does not forget the teacher of the future, Your Majesty has this patience. ”

Although Yan Shifan is a genius of strategy, he is not as old as Yan Song after all, and after being stunned for a while, he asked in a low voice: "Letting Zhao Wenhua go to Zhejiang to supervise the war is just to make some war achievements, and now he is tearing up with Zhang Jing...... It's better to say that if you are defeated, in case you win a big victory, ......"

In the war against the Japanese in the southeast that has been tossed for five or six years, the Yan Party has not been too involved, if this war is defeated, Zhao Wenhua impeached Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong for the people, and the fear of thieves and missing the opportunity is still a good reason, but it will not affect Yan Song.

If Zhang Jing defeats the Japanese Kou, Zhao Wenhua's move can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice, but Yan Song will protect Zhang Jing in front of His Majesty...... He has always liked to do this kind of thing, he can make merit but not take responsibility.

"Zhang Jing is victorious, Zhang Jing is victorious......" Yan Song's eyes were half-closed and half-open, "If Zhang Jing wins a big victory, his father will naturally judge impartially, and Zhang Tingyi should be recommended to enter the court as the great Sima." ”

Yan Shifan Huo Ran got up, stared at each other, and walked back and forth in the room, "Daddy, if Zhang Tingyi is the secretary of the military department, what about Nie Bao?!" ”

If Zhang Jing was promoted to the secretary of the military department by virtue of the attack of the Ping Wa Dynasty, then Nie Bao, the former secretary of the military department who recommended him, is likely to enter the cabinet, after all, the cabinet should be six according to the system, and now there are only three people.

"Daddy, don't forget, Nie Bao and we are not all the way, the letter back then ......" Yan Shifan couldn't help but remind.

In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, when Yan Song and Xia Yan were in full swing, Nie Bao was falsely accused, Xia Yan sent him to prison, and Nie Bao wrote a self-defense letter to his fellow countryman Yan Song in prison, but Yan Song was indifferent.

Maybe it wasn't a big deal in Nie Bao's own opinion, but after Nie Bao reinstated the military department three years later, Yan Song regarded this matter as a grudge between the two.

The reason is simple, Nie Bao was recognized as a Xinxue disciple, and his nominal student Xu Jie entered the cabinet, and was soon promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet, second only to Yan Song.

In Yan Shifan's view, once Nie Bao enters the cabinet, the balance of power between the DPRK and China is likely to be tilted in the direction of the Yan Party's disadvantage, the four members of the cabinet have two scholars, and the other party also holds the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Li Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is extremely incompatible with Yan Song.

Glancing at his son who was walking around the house, Yan Song closed his eyes and sneered, "Wait, I don't know why Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Tingyi tore their faces...... However, the timing of this impeachment reversal was just right. ”
