Jiajing knew that the courtiers below were not greedy, and he never expected to find a Qing official to entrust him with important tasks, but Dong Fen had such a deep relationship with the Yan family's father and son, and a disgust still swelled in his heart.

Even if Dong Fen is deeply involved in the struggle of officialdom, he should not take the Yan family's money, let alone dismiss Yan Shifan many times.

Jiajing every time he thinks of Yan Shifan, who is rich and rivals the country, he is also angry in his heart, and he is still very accurate in his self-deception, but he doesn't want to empty the treasury for Yan Song's father and son, but he looks at Dong Fen and says sadly: "I have always treated you thinly, is this how you repay me?" ”

"Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor!" Dong Fen also regretted it in his heart, but he shouldn't have shown such a handle, let alone peep at Xu Jie's tricks, just continue to cry like he had changed his past.

Jiajing did not immediately make a decision to dispose of Dong Fen, but turned his head to look at Xu Jie, who was standing in the hall, and said, "Elder Xu Ge, what do you think should be done with Dong Shilang?" ”

When Ouyang Yijing heard this, he turned his head to look at Xu Jie expectantly. He very much hoped that Xu Jie's proposal would behead Dong Fen, so that his name Ouyang Yijing would directly resound throughout the entire country like Lin Run.

Xu Jie sighed secretly in his heart, if the emperor really wanted to behead Dong Fen, he would not speak to him, but directly dragged out of the noon gate to behead or ordered the Han general to send people to the imperial prison or the criminal department.

However, he didn't have much deep hatred with Dong Fen, and he also bowed his hand to Jiajing and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Dong Fen's loyalty is obvious to all!" ”

Dong Fen saw that Xu Jie was speaking for himself like this, and he couldn't help but feel a feeling of emotion in his heart, and found that this Shoufu was worthy of the name of a virtuous minister.

"It's just that the state has national laws and family rules, and Dong Fen's capital crime can be forgiven, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The minister thought that he could pervert the law by accepting money at his discretion, and that the hanging could be spared, and the crime of exile could be changed! Xu Jie suggested seriously.

"Villain! Villain! Damn villain! ”

Dong Fen couldn't help but greet Xu Jie in his heart when he heard that Xu Jie was so vicious, and at the same time hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just confused for a while, and he never wants to accept bribes from the Yan family!" Please also forgive the guilty minister this time for the sake of helping the emperor to cultivate the mystery for so many years! ”

Perhaps facing the tragic situation of exile on the border, Dong Fen also played extraordinarily at this moment, his eyes and snot gushed out, and he looked pitiful and playing the emotional card.

Huang Jin looked at this scene, but he was more sympathetic to Dong Fen, and at the same time glanced at Xu Jie in puzzlement.

"Exile is too heavy, let's cut down on the people!" Jiajing is not a hard-hearted person after all, thinking of Dong Fen's companionship for so many years, he immediately landed lightly.

"Thank you for your kindness!" When Dong Fen heard the result of this disposition, he also thanked him gratefully.

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth raised slightly, exile and cutting books are actually the same, it is already to achieve the goal of "eradicating Yan Shifan", and it is also to arch his hand: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Ouyang Yijing saw that Dong Fen was only punished, but he was inevitably disappointed in his heart, and this political capital did not match expectations.

"Let's go down!"

Jiajing's heart swelled with tiredness, but he waved his hand.

"The ministers are retiring, long live our emperor, long live, long live!"

The three of Xu Jie saluted respectfully, and then turned around to leave here.

Dong Fen sat up from the ground, and the whole person seemed to have a dream that was not very real.

Before entering Xiyuan, he was obviously only one step away from the throne of the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, but the secret battle in the officialdom could be described as changing rapidly, which made him fall hard.

Twenty-four years of officialdom, when he was about to sit on the throne of the last assistant, his career suddenly came to an abrupt end, and he completely lost most of his life.

"Wait!" Jiajing thought that he suddenly thought of something, but he suddenly said in a loud voice.

Dong Fen quickly turned around, his eyes looked at Jiajing with great eagerness, and at this moment he hoped that the emperor could take back his order and let himself remain in this court, even if he did not enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister.

The morning sun had risen, illuminating the Purple Light Pavilion even more brilliantly, and a few sparrows were standing on the top of the hall.

As time passed, the officials standing in the main hall and waiting were like ants on a hot pit, looking restlessly and frequently looking out of the temple gate, but hoping for a result as soon as possible.

In addition to Wu Shan, who could still watch his nose and nose and pest in place, the other officials were talking to each other, and the elderly Zuo Shilang of the military department simply looked for a place to rest.

Because Wu Shan also looked up from time to time to observe the surrounding situation, many officials did not dare to act rashly, and they all tried their best to stand in place and wait honestly.

Lin Haoran was not worried that Wu Shan's perception of himself would deteriorate, but he asked Si Zhilang Zhang Siwei for a pot of water and a few bowls, and first sent a bowl of water to his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, you have been in poor health recently, and it is not good to stand for too long, let's take a sip of water first!" ”

Wu Shan didn't answer, and glared at Lin Haoran with dissatisfaction.

"Wu Shangshu, if we all drink saliva, Lord Yuanfu, they will definitely not be able to come back for a while!" Yan Ne's recent health has also been bad, so he proposed. Tsinghua

Wu Shan watched Yan Ne come forward, and without waiting for others to continue to persuade him, he met the eyes of the officials and said: "If you are thirsty, go drink water, and if you are tired, find a place to rest, but this is the palace, you must pay attention to your appearance, and you should not be thirsty for water." ”

If the officials nodded yes at the amnesty, they dispersed.

Taichang Temple Secretary and Guozi Priest Jiu Gaoyi took the initiative to come to Lin Haoran's side and quietly inquired: "Uncle Zuo, what do you think of this matter?" ”

As a core member of the Zhejiang Party, he knows that if he wants to continue to stand firm in the court, he can only support Lin Haoran together.

"What do you think of Master Dong's style? If the Yan family sent the money to his hometown, would his family accept it in full? Lin Haoran took a sip of water, but asked seriously.

Gao Yi and Dong Fen were in the same year and fellow villagers, so they knew how Dong Fen was, so he couldn't help but touch his nose and responded: "This ...... It's hard to say! ”

"Since they are making a fuss about this matter, it will definitely not be groundless! I only hope that Master Dong will be able to avoid this catastrophe, otherwise he will ......" Lin Haoran knew that Gao Yi had the answer, but he wanted to stop talking.

Gao Yi was immediately shocked in his heart, and asked seriously: "Uncle Zuo, what would have happened?" ”

Gao Gong and Yang Bo were talking together, and they seemed to notice the situation on Lin Haoran's side, but they cast a rather curious look.

"I'm afraid our life will be difficult, and in the future, everything in the DPRK and China will have to be decided by them!" Lin Haoran was sure that there was no one beside him, and looked at the group of officials around Yan Ne meaningfully.

Yan Ne and Li Chunfang are both members of the Xu Party, and if they defeat Dong Fen and successfully enter the cabinet, the cabinet will be completely controlled by the Xu Party. With the current situation in the court, although Xu Jie did not cover the sky with one hand like Yan Song in the past, it can be regarded as a one-party dominance.

Once the position of the Xu Party is established, many officials who were originally neutral will definitely hug Xu Jie's thighs, and under this trend of eliminating the other, the strength of their side will be slowly weakened.

Although his father-in-law is a secretary of the ministry, matters related to local governors or high-ranking officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court must be handed over to the court, and these candidates will be controlled and arranged by Xu Jie's side.

It is entirely conceivable that their situation in the court will be even more difficult in the future. If they want to do something innovative, it will be even more difficult, or even impossible to push at all.

"I hope Lord Dong can return safe and sound!" Hearing this analysis, Gao Yi nodded silently.

It's just that this conversation made his mood immediately become extremely depressed, but he didn't dare to be too optimistic about Dong Fen's ability to survive the catastrophe, and even prepared for the worst.

About a stick of incense, Xu Jie came back from outside, but Dong Fen and Ouyang Yijing were nowhere to be seen.

The officials watched Xu Jie's return, and the main hall, which was still noisy just now, immediately became silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Xu Jie's body, wanting to know the final result of the matter.

Xu Jie found that Li Chunfang was looking at him, so he nodded lightly, which was regarded as a positive answer.

It's just that in the face of a group of officials who came around, he immediately raised his hand to stop it, and said lightly to the officials: "Because things have gone wrong, you and the others have dispersed!" ”

Scattered?

The officials didn't expect to wait for such a result, but no one chose to leave immediately, and couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts: Tingtui hasn't started yet?

The elderly Hu Song and Xu Jie were fellow villagers, but they asked directly: "Lord Yuanfu, what happened here?" Ouyang Yijing's impeachment of Dong Fen, what did the emperor say? ”

All the officials looked at Xu Jie, also wanting to know the outcome of the matter, after all, Dong Fen's fate had a considerable impact on the court situation.

"Dong Fen's bribery to relieve Yan Shifan is true, and now he has been cut by the emperor!" Xu Jie met the eyes of the officials, and said helplessly announcing the answer.

Is Dong Fen really planted?

When officials heard the shocking news, they reacted differently.

If Gao Yi, Mao Kai and other Zhejiang officials were struck by lightning, their Zhejiang Party originally occupied two important seats in the court, but now they have lost two leaders in a row, and the situation has suddenly fallen to the bottom.

Hu Song was secretly happy that this stepping stone was eradicated by them, which had already cleared the way for Yan Ne and Li Chunfang to enter the cabinet.

It was at this moment that Chen Hong strode in from outside with a bright yellow holy decree in his hand and said, "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

This......

The officials watched Chen Hong come with the order, and faintly had an exciting guess.

Chen Hong walked up with an expressionless face, and said lightly to the officials present: "Yan Ne, the secretary of the household department, and Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward to receive the order!" ”
