In the innermost room of the Wanshou Palace, there is sandalwood all year round, so that the mosquito nets are full of sandalwood.

Jiajing, who was wearing a white robe, was lying on the head of the bed, and it was there that he was silently cultivating, and his snort seemed to be nothing, and his thin face revealed a bit of the majesty of the emperor.

Huang Jin stood quietly by the side and waited, the whole person was like a statue too often, without the slightest impatience on his face, he was already a very patient person.

"The old minister knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Xu Jie, who was wearing a python robe, came to the hall and immediately gave a proper salute.

Jiajing seemed to be awake, there was no reaction, Huang Jin waited quietly for a while, and was about to call Jiajing lightly, Jiajing then lightly spit out two words: "Flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" Xu Jie's legs were a little numb when he knelt on his knees, and he saluted respectfully and stood up.

Although the weather outside is very hot, the ice cubes next to it are melting suddenly, especially this longevity palace is tall and large, but there is no heat coming in, which is very comfortable.

Next to Jiajing, it was Lin Haoran who presented the note, but he asked straight to the point: "Lin Shangshu just presented a note to me, do you know what it is?" ”

Huang Jin, who was standing next to him, knew that Jiajing summoned Xu Jie after reading this recital, and he also looked at Xu Jie with a smile.

——————

"Yesterday, Lin Shangshu came to the cabinet for the Yan family's stolen silver, accusing Cheng Shoujie of not doing things, and the old minister's good words and persuasion were unsuccessful, but he was negligent about this matter?" Xu Jie's heart was slightly settled, and he asked seriously.

Jiajing also heard the verbal conflict between Xu Jie and Lin Haoran, but nodded lightly and said: "Yes, Lin Shangshu has already impeached Cheng Shoujie for inaction, not only asking me to order Jiangxi to release all the Yan family's dirty silver to Beijing, but also proposing that Wei Shiliang, the judge of Zhejiang, replace Cheng Shoujie!" ”

Huang Jin heard the candidate mentioned by Lin Haoran, but he couldn't help but glance at Xu Jie.

Wei Shiliang failed to impeach Yang Bo, so he was expelled from the capital by the Xu Party and put in Hangzhou to serve as a small Zhejiang judge. It's just that now, Lin Haoran not only wants to abolish Cheng Shoujie, but also wants to give Wei Shiliang this beautiful difference.

"Your Majesty, Lin Shangshu's move only cares about the household department and party friends, and he ignores the overall situation, and he must not use it! The old minister had clearly explained to him yesterday, and today he is still disturbing the emperor's cultivation because of this matter, which is even more disloyal! After Xu Jie learned the content of Lin Haoran's recital, he settled down and responded loyally.

Jiajing was naturally very clear about the discord between Xu Jie and Lin Haoran, but he smiled quietly and asked, "Wouldn't it be because Cheng Shoujie is your protégé that you are so protective of him, right?" ”

This seems to be a joke, but it also shows that Jiajing's mastery of the emperor's art has reached the point of perfection, and he will always put some pressure on the other party at the right time.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with whether Cheng Shoujie is the protégé of the old minister! This seizure of Yan Jiayin is like driving the pond to fish, there is no reason to hastily collect the net in the pond, and it is not suitable for replacing people in the battle now! Xu Jie raised his face to look at Jiajing, looking worried about the country and the people.

Jiajing knew that it was indeed not very suitable to replace people, but he frowned slightly and said: "Cheng Shoujie is in charge of the inspection this time, and it is indeed too procrastinating!" He went to the court and said that the Yan family had as much as 2 million taels of silver, but so far only 300,000 taels have been released to Beijing, why is the rest of the silver missing now? ”

Although Huang Jin was not interested in Lin Haoran, he also felt that the progress of Cheng Shoujie's family was too slow, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Jie, wanting to see how Xu Jie's offensive would defuse Lin Haoran's offensive.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Shoujie did have more than two million copies of the general ledger in the Yan family! It's just that the Yan family has a total of dozens of properties, from Yuanzhou to Nanchang, all of which have mansions and farm properties, and a lot of kiln silver is hidden in the dark. In order to prevent fishing in troubled waters, Cheng Shoujie first ordered a strict blockade everywhere, and then strictly raided the mansions one by one. Xu Jie had already had a word to deal with it in his heart, but he explained it like a resignation.

Brilliant!

Huang Jin listened to Xu Jie's explanation, and couldn't help nodding secretly to Xu Jie.

After all, it is Lin Haoran, the head of the household department who is in charge, who is in charge, and the most important thing for the emperor is whether the stolen money can be handed over in full, and it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and he found that Cheng Shoujie's practice was definitely safer, but he couldn't overly accuse Cheng Shoujie of inaction, and asked in a slightly soothing tone: "How much kiln silver has Cheng Shoujie copied so far?" ”

"The latest total is more than one million taels, and the second batch of 320,000 stolen silver has been escorted north from Jiangxi!" Xu Jie immediately threw out a result, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know if this dirty silver is in the inner treasury or handed over to Taicang?" ”

When Huang Jin heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Jiajing.

Although the current household Taicang is equivalent to the inner treasury, everything must be controlled by Jiajing, but in fact, there are still some differences.

If the silver enters Taicang, Lin Haoran is likely to use the silver for other purposes as soon as possible, but if the silver goes into the inner treasury, even if Lin Haoran has the courage, it is impossible for him to dare to reach into Jiajing's pocket to take out the silver.

Jiajing looked at Xu Jie with a smile and said, "Xu Aiqing, where do you think it is appropriate to transport it?" ”

"According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, all the income from the convict's raid will be put into the inner treasury!" Xu Jie responded with a businesslike look.

This......

Huang Jin heard Xu Jie's answer, but he glanced at Xu Jie.

Although this is indeed a common practice, but it involves a huge sum of two million taels, and the government of the Ming Dynasty is still so stretched, doesn't this head of the dynasty also help the household department to fight for it?

However, he also knew in his heart that Xu Jie was eager for Lin Haoran to be dismissed due to poor financial management, and Lin Haoran obviously wanted to take advantage of Cheng Shoujie's inaction this time to make trouble, so Xu Jie naturally took the opportunity to block Lin Haoran.

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said: "Zichen Palace is too dilapidated, which has already affected the effectiveness of alchemy, so I will order the Ministry of Industry to repair Zichen New Palace!" ”

With the silver, his first thought was not how to spend it, but more to build the palace. In addition to the Chengtian Palace, this West Garden is also the one he has worked hard to build into the golden and brilliant appearance it is today, but he started the idea of repairing the Zichen Palace again.

"Command!" Xu Jie was not surprised by Jiajing's idea of repairing the palace, and even he was the one who advocated rebuilding the Wanshou Palace in the first place to gain greater grace, so he responded in a proper manner.

Jiajing's spirit didn't seem to be good, but he reached out and stroked his forehead.

Xu Jie saw that the turmoil caused by Lin Haoran had been skillfully resolved, and saw that the emperor had nothing to do, but he looked up at Huang Jin, who was closest to Jiajing.

Huang Jin nodded lightly in response, and Xu Jie said with understanding: "The minister didn't dare to disturb the emperor's Qing Xiu, so he retired first!" ”

"Is Weizhong really dead?" Jiajing suddenly took a deep breath and asked lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere here became solemn.
