Chapter 1877: Mobao
This......
Huang Jin listened to Lin Haoran's attack on Cheng Shoujie, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran in a complicated way.
This Hubu Shangshu really doesn't take Yan Song's life and death as a thing, but has always been obsessed with pulling Cheng Shoujie off the horse, which can be described as a qualified politician!
Xu Jie stood up and originally wanted to push the matter up to the rumors, but he didn't want this kid to point the finger at Cheng Shoujie again, this young man really doesn't talk about martial arts!
In the face of Lin Haoran's offensive, he also had to switch from offense to defense, so he responded gloomily: "Strictly observe the festival and have the emperor in his body, how can he take care of other matters, you don't want to spray people with blood here!" β
"It's strange for Xia Guan! If Cheng Shoujie can't even squeeze out the effort to settle Yan Ge Lao, and more than a year has been spent on confiscating dirty silver, why is it that only 300,000 taels of silver have been seen so far? Lin Haoran seemed fearless, still biting Cheng Shoujie and not letting go.
Xu Jie knew that Cheng Shoujie could not be replaced no matter what, so he immediately argued with reason: "The old man has made it very clear yesterday that Cheng Shoujie uses the method of confiscation of fishing with dense nets, and there is no procrastination as you say, nor is there any inaction you accuse!" β
"Huh...... Then it is even more necessary to change the observance! Cheng Shoujie's move seems foolproof, but in fact, it is very easy to give people loopholes, the secret net is indeed not to let go of small fish, but the big fish may have already entered the belly of others! If he reports two million taels, but ends up handing over less than one million taels, he can't afford to bear this great responsibility! Lin Haoran seemed to be on the matter, and continued to talk provocatively.
Theoretically, it is indeed possible to observe the festival as a way to make things perfect. Just from the perspective of human nature, Lin Haoran is undoubtedly more insightful.
The most important thing is that the only 300,000 taels that have been submitted now are a huge gap from the two million, and Lin Haoran does have reason to suspect that the "big fish" has been eaten by others.
Xu Jie faced Lin Haoran's aggressiveness, staring at Lin Haoran with bruises on his forehead. He had always known that Lin Haoran was difficult, if it weren't for the fact that this son was too young, the person who was the most threatening to him might not be Wu Shan.
Zhu Xiaoxi had been watching from the sidelines, and his eyes looked at Lin Haoran with complicated eyes.
He didn't have much intersection with Lin Haoran, but this time it can be said that he has seen Lin Haoran's eloquence, and even more so his quick wit, and he can't help but re-examine this young household secretary.
"Enough!"
Just as Xu Jie wanted to continue arguing with Lin Haoran, Jiajing's voice suddenly came from the dragon bed.
When he heard this voice, Xu Jie, who was also a spirit, swallowed back the evil words that came out of his throat, and arched his hand respectfully in the direction of the dragon bed.
Lin Haoran was a lot calmer, after all, he was a stunned young man who stirred up trouble, and he also arched his hand towards Jiajing.
Jiajing's gaze slowly swept over the two important ministers, and after seeing that the two important ministers did not dare to challenge his power, he said lightly to Zhu Xiaoxi: "Commander Zhu, you go on!" β
Originally, they discussed Yan Song's life and death in a good manner, but these two people turned out to be good. One jumped out to emphasize that this was a rumor, and the other person was even more outrageous, not caring at all whether Yan Song was fake or dead, but he was considering taking the opportunity to drag Cheng Shoujie off the horse.
However, at this point, he also felt that there was a problem with Cheng Shoujie, who was responsible for raiding the Yan family, and even that there was a big conspiracy hidden in the whole thing.
"Yes!" Zhu Xiaoxi's way of being an official is to wander outside the party struggle, and immediately continued: "Those scholars met Yan Ge Lao in the broken temple, and Yan Ge Lao at that time could be said to have run out of oil and lamps, and it is said that he has not been able to eat for several days!" β
When Jiajing heard this, a sad look appeared on his face.
"These scholars and Yan Ge Lao should have nothing to do with each other, how can they distinguish Yan Ge Lao, I'm afraid this rumor is false!" Xu Jie still adheres to the spirit of dialectic, and immediately points out the flaws in it.
Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, although he didn't like Xu Jie's being so nitpicky, but there was undoubtedly some truth.
Huang Jinshen nodded thoughtfully, how could these scholars and Yan Ge Lao Pingshui recognize Yan Ge's identity.
Lin Haoran seemed to have nothing to do with himself, but turned his head to look at Zhu Xiaoxi.
Zhu Xiao looked up at Jiajing and said, "According to the information I received, the reason why those protΓ©gΓ©s recognized Yan Ge Lao was because Yan Ge Lao borrowed a pen from a scholar and left a calligraphy treasure on a pillar of the broken temple!" It was this ink treasure that made those scholars guess the identity of Yan Ge Lao, and finally the old slave of the Yan family and the Yan Ge old clan came over to argue that it was Yan Ge Lao! β
When it comes to calligraphy attainments, I am afraid that Yan Song is really the number one today, which also adds a lot of credibility to this rumor.
Jiajing also had a deep understanding of Yan Song's calligraphy, and asked in a slightly confused mood: "He is on the pillar...... What was written! β
Hey?
Xu Jie couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xiaoxi.
This is something he didn't know, and in Li Yinshi's letter to him, he only mentioned that Yan Song died in the broken temple, and did not say anything about leaving Mobao.
However, he believed that this should not be made up by Zhu Xiaoxi, probably because his disciple Li Yinshi felt that it was not important, so he did not tell him about it.
It's just that this Mobao's matter is slightly beyond his control, and it is not something he planned, which makes him faintly feel uneasy.
"There is a transcript here, please take a look at it!"
Zhu Xiaoxi took out a piece of paper from his arms and presented it respectfully.
Huang Jin first glanced at Jiajing, and when he saw that Jiajing was indifferent, he walked towards Zhu Xiaoxi with understanding.
Although he was very curious about what Yan Song left behind on the pillar, he didn't dare to peek at the contents of the paper, and obviously forwarded it to Jiajing in an orderly manner.
Jiajing thought of his admiration for Yan Song's calligraphy in the past, and thought of the exquisite green words presented by Yan Song, and a touch of pathos appeared on his face.
As he took the paper, his eyes welled with pain and curiosity, but he did not know what the most faithful courtier had left behind before he died.
"Master, beware of the dragon body!" Huang Jin saw that Jiajing's mood was unstable, and he also comforted softly.
Jiajing didn't understand Huang Jin's kindness, but waved his hand vigorously, and Huang Jin had to retreat with a bitter face.
Xu Jie secretly swallowed his spit, looking nervously at the tissue in Jiajing's hand.
Jiajing took a deep breath before opening the paper, and when that line of words came into view, his eyes welled with tears.
It was only for a moment, but Jiajing said sadly: "Weizhong, I can't stand you!" β
