After a long journey of more than two months, the Annan envoys finally came to the capital of Daming, but this time the envoys were not sent by the Zheng family, but by the Mo family, and the purpose of their coming was not to ask the Ming to send troops to quell the rebellion, but to ask the Ming to surrender.

Mo Wenming, Nguyen Van Tai, Xu San Province and other representatives of Annan Mo presented a table, a map of Annan and the "Yellow Book of Enlistment", requesting that the Ming Dynasty Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, from then on forever as the Ming Dynasty's territory.

Annan Mo's also promised to reduce Annan's more than 100,000 troops to more than 10,000 within half a year, and asked Daming to send 20,000 elites to garrison Thang Long, the eastern capital of Annan, and Thanh Hoa, the western capital, respectively to ensure peace in the territory, and even Mo's promised to bear all the food and salary of 20,000 elites.

Jiajing gladly accepted Annan's subordination, and even if Mo Dengyong was appointed as the commander of Annan, Annan's internal affairs were under his management, and his descendants were hereditary.

The problem of Annan has finally been completely solved, and the Ming Dynasty has since had an additional provincial territory, which can be said to be the greatest achievement of the Ming Dynasty in more than 100 years.

Jiajing is really happy, at this moment the southern Japanese have been destroyed, Annan has been pacified, the northern captives have not violated the border for several years, and the Ming Dynasty seems to be about to move towards Zhongxing under his governance.

The lord of Zhongxing, there are few dynasties and dynasties, what a great honor this is, Jiajing can't help but be a little fluttering.

Fortunately, he hasn't drifted away enough to find the north, and he still remembers to reward the meritorious ones.

So, who is this Zhongxing hero?

Of course, it must be Yang Cong.

Yang Cong, this kid, is really good, he repelled the northern captives, he exterminated the southern widows, and Annan was also forced to surrender by him, and these great achievements seem to have been made by him.

However, there is a question, how to reward Yang Cong?

Yang Cong is already the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the secretary of the military department at this time, and if he rises further, it seems that there are only three dukes, three orphans and cabinet scholars, Yang Cong has risen to such a high position at a young age, is it appropriate?

It's a really confusing question.

Jiajing hadn't figured out how to reward Yang Cong yet, but Yang Cong's twists and turns had already spread to the capital.

This time, his performance was more exaggerated, and what he ordered someone to send was not one or two copies, but a full box, a one-foot-high box, almost all of which were stuffed.

Of course, it's not all confessions, there is only one confession, and the others are confessions, hundreds of confessions!

Xia Yan saw the box sent by the celebrant supervisor, the whole person was stupid, what are you kidding, in the past, they were all sent over one by one, but this time it was directly a box, how many folds must there be!

When he opened the box, he was even more stunned.

Yang Cong actually attached so many confessions to the back of a recital, all of which directly pointed to Yuan Yingshu, the deputy envoy of Guangxi's criminal prosecution, under the leadership of this guy, the entire Guangxi officialdom, more than half of the local high-ranking officials are seriously corrupt!

This, this, this!

This is what Yan Song called "the clear is self-purifying, and the turbid is self-turbid." ”？

This Yuan Yingshu can no longer be described by the word "turbidity", this guy is simply blacker than ink!

He is not an idiot, he can see at a glance that these testimonies are true, and Yang Cong does not need to fake, because Yang Cong's merits are enough, even if it is enough to promote the cabinet, the merit of punishing corrupt officials is nothing to Yang Cong, if he still uses these to fake, then Yang Cong is an idiot.

Moreover, he also knew that Yuan Yingshu, a small deputy envoy for criminal prosecution, did not have such great energy, and it was very likely that the participation of senior officials and officials of Yan Song and his party in the confession was true.

This Yan Song, isn't it really a thing!

Sometimes he is a little selfish, and sometimes he is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, but in his heart he still thinks that he is an upright person, and he also hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Yan Song is corrupt, of course he has heard of it, and he has even heard of Yan Shifan's betrayal of officials, but there is a difference between hearing about it and really seeing the real evidence.

In the past, he needed the help of Yan Song, his "right-hand man", and Yan Shifan was also very secretive, he turned a blind eye and passed.

This time it's different, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, in front of him, Yuan Yingshu, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and others colluded together, bought and sold officials, and made corruption rampant in the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, and the people were not able to make a living, can he still turn a blind eye?

Of course not!

He couldn't help but roar at the door: "Go, call Yan Song over." ”

Yan Song was naturally with the rumor, respectful and abnormal, after he walked in, when he saw Xia Yan's expression, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this guy, it is estimated that Yang Cong collected the evidence!

However, his face was still indifferent, and after saluting respectfully, he even pretended to be curious: "Lord Shoufu, what's wrong with you, who made you angry like this?" ”

What's wrong?

You've done a great job!

Xia Yan was furious and said: "Yan Song, in vain I trust you so much, you are so insatiable and lawless, I am really scared, I would believe you as a shameless person!" ”

I have to say that Yan Song's acting skills are really unmatched, he obviously knew what Xia Yan was angry about, and even pretended to be confused: "Lord Shoufu, what's wrong?" Xia Guan doesn't seem to have done anything in the past few days, how can he make you so angry? ”

This shameless man can really pretend!

Pretend, I'll let you pretend!

Xia Yan subconsciously grabbed a handful of confessions and was about to throw them at Yan Song's face, but thinking of the mess after throwing them out, he snorted again, threw the confession on the table, and then roared angrily: "Come and see for yourself, see what you have done." ”

When Yan Song heard this, he hurriedly came to the table, picked up the confession and looked at it seriously.

After watching it for a while, he suddenly put down his confession and sighed: "Alas, Xia Guan knew that this would be the case. ”

If you know today, why bother in the first place?

Xia Yan may have lost his anger a little, or maybe he was moved by compassion when he saw Yan Song's sighing, and he actually sighed: "Alas, but in the middle, money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, what's the point of you collecting money like this?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yan Song shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Lord Shoufu, you were misled by Yang Cong's deliberately made up confession, Yang Cong obviously deliberately pulled everything on the lower officials." ”

When Xia Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, this kind of thing, do you still need to deliberately pull it on you, aren't you a secretary of the ministry?

He couldn't help but ask, "Are these confessions still false?" ”

Yan Song actually shook his head again and sighed: "Nine times out of ten, these confessions are true, but if there is a problem with the ministry, it doesn't mean that there is a problem with the lower officials, the lower officials stay in the cabinet almost every day, how can they have time to take care of the affairs of the official department, these things are all done by He Qian, the middle of the civil selection of the official department, and the uncompetitive son-in-law of the lower official." ”

Yes!

Really?

Xia Yan couldn't help but look at Yan Song with a puzzled face, it's true that this guy stays in the cabinet all day long, is it true that the affairs of the Ministry of Officials really have nothing to do with him?
