In the Forbidden City, in the imperial study, Jiajing held a copy of the recital in his hand, staring blankly ahead, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Yang Cong is also corrupt?

Yang Cong actually embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

He really didn't want to believe it.

However, the twists and turns of those corrupt officials in Guangxi were in front of him, and he had to think carefully about this issue.

Hundreds of thousands of taels, this is not a small amount.

Were these people instructed to falsely accuse Yang Cong?

Not necessarily, really not necessarily, because Xia Yan and Yan Song were quite "fair" in this matter, and did not "favor" these corrupt officials in Guangxi, nor did they deliberately smear Yang Cong.

In addition to Xia Yan and Yan Song, who else in the DPRK and China would dare to be unfavorable to Yang Cong?

Obviously, no, except for Xia Yan and Yan Song, no one has the courage to do this.

Yan Song's painful and runny appearance last time was still lingering in his mind, and people really didn't "favor" anyone in this matter, even if his son-in-law committed something, Yan Song didn't favor him.

Xia Yan also remembered the vote he wrote last time, and like this time, it was "planned to send the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to patrol Guangxi and investigate the original situation." ”

Two things, or two cases involving corruption in Guangxi, Xia Yan's votes are exactly the same, and he hasn't even changed a word, isn't this fair?

Jiajing is really a little confused, whether to check or not?

He really didn't want to check Yang Cong, whether it was public or private, he didn't want to check.

For the public, Yang Cong has made many miraculous achievements in Guangxi in the past two years, and he has not rewarded others, so when he goes to check on others, doesn't it seem that he is deliberately rectifying Yang Cong, which is too much.

For personal reasons, Yang Cong is Lu Linger's husband, and Lu Linger is his favorite little sister, what will she think if she goes to check her husband?

However, this matter involves hundreds of thousands of taels of dirty silver, can he not check it?

It is really difficult for Jiajing to make a decision, what should I do at this time?

This situation is not difficult to solve, and when the emperor is unable to make a decision, it is natural to recruit important ministers of the court who are close to him to ask for advice, which is the case for the emperors of all dynasties, and even more so for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

So, who is going to ask for advice?

Xia Yan?

Forget it, everyone's tickets are going to be written, and if you invite someone to ask again, won't you take off your pants and fart, and do it too much!

It seems that he can only ask Yan Song, and he doesn't plan to ask the important ministers of the Yangming lineage, because Xia Yan and Yan Song are more "fair" in this matter, while the officials of the Yangming lineage are a little biased towards putting Yan Song's son-in-law to death.

These days, there are also officials in the Yangming lineage who have played the impeachment of Yan Song, saying that Yan Song used his public weapons for private purposes and ordered people to let his son-in-law go.

Just kidding, other people's sons-in-law have been dismissed and cut off, isn't this a punishment?

If Yan Song's son-in-law was really sentenced to death, he wouldn't really let people kill him, no matter what, it would depend on Yan Song's face, and let others go.

He thinks that this result is already very good, but Yang Ming Yimai is a little unrelenting in this matter, which makes him very disgusted, so in this matter, he will only ask Yan Song and Xia Yan's opinions, as for Yang Ming Yimai, forget it.

When Yan Song heard Jiajing's summons, the old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, of course he knew why Jiajing was looking for him, this time, Yang Cong was probably yes, hehe.

Although his heart is happy, it is not revealed at all on the surface, this is a good opportunity, whether he can turn Yang Cong over, it depends on this one.

He pretended to be sad, slowly walked into the imperial study, and after respectfully performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he stood there without moving, that look, indescribably lonely.

I have to say that his acting skills are really good, Jiajing looked at him like this, forgot all about business, and involuntarily asked: "Weizhong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Song pretended to be gloomy and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is troubled by family affairs, and he is out of shape, out of shape." ”

Jiajing was even more curious: "What's going on in your family?" ”

Yan Song pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then sighed: "Alas, it's not because of Weichen's uncompetitive son-in-law, he was arrested, sentenced, and dismissed from office, and he was all to blame, but Weichen's daughter cried and cried all day because of this matter, and Weichen's wife also had a lot of complaints about Weichen, saying that Weichen didn't save his son-in-law." Alas, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, how can Weichen do this! ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but blush, he was still thinking about what was public and private just now, look at Yan Song, he has no selfishness at all!

He couldn't help but nod and praise: "Well, Weizhong, you did the right thing, as for Yuan Yingshu, he must be severely punished this time, he can't stay in this officialdom, as for the fame of Jinshi, it doesn't matter, or after a while, when this matter passes, you can restore his fame." ”

Yan Song just wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but he didn't expect to have this effect, which was an unexpected gain.

He hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Jiajing nodded slightly, and then sighed: "You should also know that those corrupt officials in Guangxi who fell from power united to impeach Yang Cong for embezzling their dirty silver, do you think this is true?" ”

Yan Song pretended to be selfless, and said solemnly: "Lord Shoufu also asked Weichen about this, and Weichen didn't say much because of the indisputable son-in-law, if the emperor insisted on Weichen to say, Weichen could only say that those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." ”

Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid!

Yes, whether Yang Cong has embezzled dirty silver can be found out at a glance, why should he hesitate for this, even if he wants to show favoritism, then he can wait until it is found out before favoritism.

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help nodding slightly: "Well, you're right, then the Imperial Procuratorate will send the imperial history to Guangxi to inspect it, and then find out the matter clearly." ”

Yan Song won't be polite this time, send Yushi, then he has to send his own cronies, if Zhang Yue's cronies go over, what good results can be found!

He pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Jiajing said without hesitation: "Say, I asked you to come over just to let you give me an idea, what should I not say." ”

When Yan Song heard this, he "mustered up the courage" and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, is Yang Cong's father-in-law, although he is also as fair as Weichen and will not defend his son-in-law, but he is not allowed to make perfunctory things without looking at his face." ”

When he said this, he was obviously saying that Zhang Yue might be favoritism, but he seemed to be exaggerating Yue's selflessness.

Jiajing nodded slowly and said, "Well, this is my negligence, so who do you think you should send?" ”

Yan Song said cautiously: "There is nothing wrong with sending the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, the problem is that this person must be fair." ”

This means obviously, you can't send Zhang Yue's people, you can't send people from Yangming's lineage, you can only send him Yan Song's party people.

Of course, Jiajing understood, and he simply asked, "Then who do you think is appropriate to send?" ”

Yan Song was ashamed to say: "Yushi Lukai is fair and honest, and he is the most suitable person." ”

The fairness and honesty of the royal history road?

Bullshit!

He is Yan Song's minions, can he be fair?

As for Lian Ming, that's even more, and there are few people under Yan Song who are not greedy.

The question Jiajing didn't know what kind of person Lu Kai was, at this moment, he only felt that Yan Song's recommendation was absolutely wrong!
