In the household signing room, the fragrance of tea rises.

Lin Haoran returned here and habitually tasted tea, and he was already completely integrated into this era. If something that is indispensable every day is not the woman who is like a flower, but the refreshing tea.

From the initial ordinary Tieguanyin to the uninterrupted West Lake Longjing, this mouth is becoming more and more delicate, and the quality of tea is more and more important.

However, he has always been a person with considerable self-control, and he has not become a fanatical seeker of tea, but mainly as a hobby of life.

Lin Haoran sat at the table, not in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the household, but thought about things while drinking tea.

Political struggle is a very wonderful battle, in which the open guns and hidden arrows are more dangerous than the battlefield, but if one side loses his official position and leaves, it is usually "political resentment".

It's just that there seem to be some exceptions in this dynasty, because the emperor always likes to recall the dismissed Shoufu repeatedly, which makes the political struggle inadvertently have a bit more bloody.

From the first assistant Xia Yan to Li Mo, the secretary of the ministry, and then to Yan Shifan, the left waiter of the former Ministry of Works, who had just been beheaded for a long time, they all took the end of their lives as a political fight.

When Xu Jie sat on the throne of Shoufu, he also killed Yan Song, but he undoubtedly left a handle in this action to liquidate Yan Song.

After all, Yan Song is the one who has been waiting for the emperor for more than 20 years, if Yan Song can successfully defend himself to Jiajing, he should be able to get a more fair verdict, instead of being cut off and his family is now being raided.

On the contrary, in order to put Yan Shifan and the Yan family to death, Xu Jie undoubtedly did something that should not have been done.

Now, as long as he takes out these evidences and pokes out the important things that Xu Jie blocked, Xu Jie will also become a loser in the political struggle.

Although Lin Haoran is very disgusted with Xu Jie, it is mainly due to the antagonistic relationship of political positions, and he is more willing to abide by the unspoken rule of "political resentment".

As for Xu Jie, who sits on hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and has already become the largest landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, he can't be too harsh on Xu Jie, after all, many high-ranking officials in this court are like this.

People are selfish after all, even if these officials who are familiar with the books of the sages, their ultimate belongings are big landlords, and they will sit on a large area of fertile land.

Now he mainly wants to kick Xu Jie, carry out the two measures of Diao Minshu and requisition of grain to silver, and do his best to save this decadent dynasty.

The amount of tea in the teacup slowly decreased, and time passed little by little.

A black shadow came in from outside the door, and Lin Fu's figure appeared here in a hurry, but his face looked solemn, but he said with a complicated expression: "Uncle Nineteen, the news from the palace just came!" Last night, a palace person accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and a fire broke out in Qianbukuo, and hundreds of thousands of copies of the music that had been stored for many years were burned. ”

What the?

When Lin Haoran heard the news, the teacup in his hand immediately fell to the ground, and he looked up at Lin Fu in disbelief, but he never imagined that this would be the result anyway.

You must know that this Qianbu Kuo and Liuke Kuo are important places for preserving the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach them at all, let alone that this place can easily catch fire.

Lin Fu faced Lin Haoran's shock, and said seriously: "I have just verified many times, Qianbukuo was indeed burned, and I heard that there is not a single piece left!" ”

"Xu Jie's actions are more cautious than we imagined, I'm afraid this matter is what he did!" Lin Haoran wanted to take a sip of tea to suppress his shock, but found that his hand was already empty.

In order to plot the throne of Shoufu, Xu Jie was able to endure by Yan Song's side for ten years. In order to let Yan Song and Yan Shifan relax their vigilance, they did not hesitate to let their granddaughter be a concubine for Yan Song's grandson, waiting for the most suitable time to give Yan Song the most fatal blow, which can be described as the most cautious politician in the Ming Dynasty.

Like his storage of those Jiangxi songs, I thought that he must exist in the most inconspicuous Qianbu Kuo. But on the contrary, he has one more heart than ordinary people, and he is already in the "other files" of the thousand-step silhouette after going around the six branches.

This seemingly simple move made him spend a lot of energy and time, and in the end, it fell short.

Although he didn't know where it was leaked now, Xu Jie must have known that he was tracking down those notes, so Xu Jie chose to burn the thousands of steps and hundreds of thousands of notes.

At this point, he found that he still underestimated Xu Jie, a political enemy who was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

When Lin Fu heard that it was Xu Jie's doing, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Yesterday was a heavy rainstorm!" Xu Jie burned Qianbu Kuo like this, isn't he afraid of the emperor's investigation? ”

"Since Xu Jie dares to do this, then naturally he has already prepared his rhetoric, Xu Jie is more terrifying than we imagined!" Lin Haoran licked his lips, looking quite touched.

With this fire of Qianbukuo, all the black curtains have been reduced to ashes. Whether it is Hu Shunhua, the military commander of Yuanzhou, and Chen Qingshu, who is the same knowledge of Yang Autonomous in Yuanzhou, or Yan Song's plea to Jiajing, they are all hiding in the sea of fire.

As for Xu Jie's role in the Yan family catastrophe, it was also covered up as these notes were burned. Xu Jie not only washed away the guilt he committed, but also burned the hope of the Yan family to turn over, but he was the one who had the last laugh.

As long as it takes another two months, Xu Jie's disciple Cheng Shoujie will arrive in Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, and at that time, he will copy the Yan Mansion that "the imperial court is not as rich as me", and the project of the Xianling Lingen Hall will also have a source of funds.

If all goes well, Xu Jie will win more favor from the emperor, and he is also a virtuous minister who got rid of the traitor Yan Song for the country, and a great savior of the Ming Dynasty.

Wanshou Palace, wisps of sandalwood curl up from the copper furnace.

Jiajing, who was lying on the head of the bed, woke up in the morning, and also summoned Xu Jie, the head of the dynasty, and said angrily and regretfully: "If you want to compile history books in the future, what will you use as evidence?" ”

"The minister has just ascertained that a total of 132,000 copies of the important recitals of the imperial court are stored in the six branches, and the notes stored in the thousand-step outline are all useless papers, and they are just burned!" Xu Jie already had something to say in his heart, and immediately appeased the authentic.

Jiajing originally attached great importance to this matter, but when he heard that it was a pile of useless old papers, he did not intend to investigate it, but only regarded the fire under the rainstorm as an accidental incident.

The summer of the forty-fourth year of Jiajing passed in this strange atmosphere, and this turbulent court was only a small ripple.
