Jiajing is still more cautious about Liu Shuxiang's case, although he is the emperor, although he can decide life and death with one sentence, but he also knows that he can't be nonsense.

He wants to kill whoever he wants like a psychopath, or he doesn't care if he finds corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the whole court must be chaotic, so although he is willful, he doesn't come nonsense, at least, he thinks so himself.

In Liu Shuxiang's case, he not only personally consulted Li Shi, Xia Yan and Zhang Bangqi, but also asked Lu Bing to investigate secretly.

Lu Bing also got Yang Cong's note earlier, so he naturally knew how to "investigate", and after secretly investigating for a few days, he reported the results to Jiajing.

Jiajing still trusts this milk brother, and after the monarch and the minister greeted him, he asked cordially: "Civilization, how is it, how do the people comment on this Liu Shuxiang, how is he an official?" ”

Lu Bing did not hesitate to bow his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the people of the capital have a good evaluation of Liu Shuxiang in private, although no one says that he is the master of the blue sky, but the people say that Liu Shuxiang is a good official." ”

The evaluation of "good official" is already good, and the common people will be suspicious if they want to say that Liu Shuxiang is the eldest lord of Qingtian, Jiajing, he nodded slightly, and then asked: "Doesn't anyone say bad things about him?" ”

Lu Bing replied "honestly": "Yes, but most of them are corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have been dealt with by him, and Liu Shuxiang's reputation in the officialdom is not very good, because he always talks about honesty and integrity, as long as he is a corrupt official, he will not show mercy, so he has offended many people." ”

It is normal for a person to say good things and bad things to say, if everyone says good things, then this person will not be a saint, Jiajing does not believe that there are any saints in this year, like Liu Shuxiang, it is very good that he is basically corrupt officials and corrupt officials who say bad things about him.

He nodded slightly and said: "Well, it seems that this Liu Shuxiang is not bad as an official, so what is the matter with the impeachment of him this time, are these people all related to corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" ”

When Lu Bing heard this, he pretended to hesitate, and was embarrassed: "This Weichen didn't find any clues, but Weichen heard that these officials who impeached Liu Shuxiang have recently gotten closer to Lord Xia. ”

That's right, no wonder what Xia Yan said is completely different from what Li Shi and Zhang Bangqi said, Xia Yan's good words are indeed good knives, but sometimes this guy also cuts people indiscriminately, as long as he is against him, he will try his best to fix people.

Jiajing is quite clear about this, and it was precisely because of Xia Yan's ruthlessness that he entered his eyes.

He just likes to watch courtiers fight each other, and this Xia Yan is aggressive, which is what he appreciates the most, and it is good if the people below can fight.

Liu Shuxiang's case, he doesn't think it's too much, at least Xia Yan didn't use unscrupulous means to frame others, and he can still accept the means of impeachment, because this can reflect his authority.

After all, no matter how the impeachment is played, how to deal with it in the end still has to say to him.

Jiajing nodded slightly, and asked again: "Why did Liu Shuxiang have a conflict with Xia Yanqi?" ”

This matter can't be said in detail, if it is said in detail, it will offend people ruthlessly, Lu Bing is still just a brocade guard commanding things at this time, he doesn't dare to be empty-eyed, arrest and bite whom.

Of course, it won't work if you don't talk about it, not to mention how to give Xia Yan and Chen Hong eye medicine.

Lu Bing pretended to be a problem: "This, Weichen hasn't verified it yet, it is rumored that it is because Liu Shuxiang is not tactful enough to offend Gonggong Chen." ”

Jiajing said thoughtfully: "Chen Hong? ”

Lu Bing pretended to be quite jealous and said cautiously: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

Although Lu Bing didn't elaborate, he had already "guessed" that his favorite eunuch Chen Hong had a close relationship with Xia Yan.

If this matter is released to the Hongwu Dynasty or the Jiajing Dynasty, Chen Hong will definitely be dragged out and cut down, Xia Yan will definitely be dismissed and cut down, and the two ancestors of the Zhu family are very disgusted with eunuchs interfering in politics.

But this is different, because the civil officials are powerful, and the emperors behind them are not as powerful as the two ancestors, so they can't suppress these civil officials at all, so they basically train eunuchs to deal with those civil officials.

It is common for cabinet scholars and eunuchs in the palace to look at each other, although Jiajing is disgusted, he will not clean up Chen Hong and Xia Yan because of this matter, but his impression of Xia Yan is greatly discounted, this guy even colluded with the inner servant, it seems that it is right to cultivate the Yangming line to suppress this guy.

He was silent for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”

This matter passed like this, Jiajing did not deal with Liu Shuxiang, nor did he criticize Chen Hong and Xia Yan, he just left all the impeachment of Liu Shuxiang in the middle, so as to tell Xia Yan that Liu Shuxiang should not bite and let go.

When Xia Yan saw this result, he was really angry, so he recruited Yan Song to the mansion again.

Yan Song was quite humble at this time, in front of Xia Yan, he was simply called to come and go, pretending to be like a grandson.

Xia Yan didn't know that this guy was pretending, and after the two sides greeted each other, he frowned and said, "Weizhong, what do you think about Liu Shuxiang, should we continue to play impeachment?" ”

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart: "You're afraid that you're crazy and don't know who you are, the emperor's intention is obviously not to let you get it, you still want to get it!" ”

Of course, he wouldn't say this to Xia Yan, on the surface, he was still very cautious: "Brother Gongjin, or forget about it, Liu Shuxiang has no direct conflict with us, and we can't work so hard to clean him up." ”

Xia Yan still frowned and said: "We can't work so hard to clean him up, but, Gonggong Chen's side I have already boasted about Haikou, and Liu Shuxiang has nothing to do at this time, how can I explain it to others?" ”

Yan Song has this disdain in his heart, it's okay to boast in front of others, who do you think you are, are you so easy to get a big member of the court?

You're being stupid, you know?

Of course, he won't remind Xia Yan, he also knows that Xia Yan is too smooth in his official career, so he is very floating.

Float, let you float, the more floating, the better.

Yan Song still said cautiously: "Why don't we find a way to compensate Gonggong Chen elsewhere, we really shouldn't pursue Liu Shuxiang's matter anymore, the emperor probably has already seen some signs." ”

Of course, Xia Yan knew that Jiajing had already seen some signs, but he was unhappy, who in the court didn't know that he was looking for fault to clean up Liu Shuxiang, and as a result, Liu Shuxiang threw himself into the arms of Yangming Yimai, and it was okay!

This is a big blow to his authority, he really doesn't want to just forget it, but Yan Song is instigated, what can he do?

At this time, he had already vaguely felt that most of the people in the township party were following Yan Song, and if Yan Song didn't speak, many things could not be done.

What do you mean by this guy?

If it weren't for Yan Song's rather gentle and deferential behavior, he would really suspect that Yan Song wanted to ride on his head.

He stared at Yan Song for a while, and then asked lightly, "Is this really the case?" ”

Yan Song hurriedly comforted: "Brother Gongjin, don't be impatient, there is an opportunity, we don't have to rush for a while." ”
