After the cabinet meeting ended, Jiajing left Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, alone.

"Elder Yan Ge, please!" With a smile on his face, Jiajing motioned for Yan Song to sit beside him.

"Your Majesty, this is?" Yan Song sat down tremblingly and asked aloud.

"Elder Yan Ge, I left you alone because I wanted you to do it for me."

"Your Majesty, even if you open your mouth, you will never give up!" Yan Song said and bowed.

"I want you to collect some evidence of the crimes of the clan and the vassal king for me, and pay more attention to similar things." Jiajing picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Your Majesty wants the ministers to ......" Yan Song's cloudy eyes rolled and he didn't continue.

"That's right, I've always wanted to cut the expenses of the clan, but if I want to implement this, there has to be a reason!"

"Your Majesty, no! If you do this, it will chill the clan, and since Taizu, there have been regulations that the title is hereditary and cannot be downgraded! ”

"And Your Majesty, if you do this, it will arouse the disgust of the clan, and in the future history books, it will be recorded that you are an emperor who is mean and unkind, and cruel to the clan, for the sake of your future reputation, please take back your order."

Jiajing was just the beginning, and Yan Song anticipated the measures that the emperor was going to take: to make a big deal of the crimes of the clan and the vassal king, and at the same time to manipulate public opinion, find a "leader" to propose to reduce the expenses of the clan, and sacrifice the ultimate killer - the Tui En Order.

As for the possible resistance of the clan, don't be funny, Jiajing is the emperor! Innate occupies the great righteousness. And the 26,000 elite soldiers that the emperor had asked Zhang Juzheng to train were not dry.

Jiajing looked at Yan Song, who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but think to himself: "I am already an immortal cultivator, with a long lifespan, do I still care about a few words in the history books?" ”

Jiajing lifted Yan Song up from the ground, stared at his eyes, and said word by word: "Elder Yan Ge, as the head of the cabinet, you should know very well that the expenses of the clan account for the majority of the state expenditure account, right?" ”

Yan Song's eyes were disillusioned, and he pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister knows. ”

"You might as well be bold! If something happens, just push it on me. Jiajing's flat voice came into Yan Song's ears, like thunder.

"Your Majesty! You ......" Yan Song couldn't cry when he heard this, and he couldn't organize his words anymore.

"Don't worry, don't worry about retaliation, as long as I am still the emperor for a day, those people won't be able to touch you, and your backstage is me!"

"Minister Yan Song, I am willing to serve Your Majesty!" Yan Song bowed again.

"Yan Ge, please hurry up, the burden of the Ming Dynasty is on you alone, and I hope to take care of your body!" By the way, I have new tea here that has just arrived, and I will send someone to your house later to try it. ”

Seeing that Yan Song agreed to his proposal, Jiajing also had a smile on his face.

"Minister, retire!" Yan Song immediately bowed and said goodbye.

"Hmm." Jiajing nodded, and then asked the little eunuch on the side to step forward and support Yan Song.

Yan Song's pace of walking was extremely slow, and his whole body was slumped, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's really an old fox, and if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle!" Jiajing looked at Yan Song's back and couldn't help but curse secretly.

……

At night, the study of Yanfu is still brightly lit.

Since Yan Song came back from Jiajing, he has been putting on a contemplative look and not saying a word. This made Yan Shifan, who was his son, anxious enough, and was even ready to go to the doctor from Tai Hospital to come over for treatment!

"Daddy! What the hell is wrong with you? How can coming back from His Majesty be like losing your soul! Yan Shifan said, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of Yan Song's eyes.

"Wait a minute, the child will go to the doctor of the Tai Hospital!" After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he called the servant to prepare a sedan chair and prepare to rush to the Tai Hospital.

"Come back!" Yan Song seemed to wake up from a dream and called Yan Shifan back.

"Father, you're alright! That's great! Yan Shifan heard his father's shout, and his face was full of joy.

"Who told you I had something, I was just thinking about things." After Yan Song finished speaking, he prepared to slip his slippers to bed, and Yan Shifan took the first step to take off his father's shoes and respectfully helped him to the Hu bed.

"What is Your Majesty leaving you alone for, is it a matter of changing rice to mulberry?" Yan Shifan asked nervously.

"It's bigger than that, alas, Your Majesty is ready to take the sect knife!" Yan Song sighed and said in a deep voice.

"What! Isn't Your Majesty afraid......" Yan Shifan stopped talking and didn't dare to go on.

"What are you afraid of, Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Who can challenge his authority? It's just that the evaluation in the future is not very good. Yan Song looked at his son with unconventional eyes.

"Recently, let your subordinates pay more attention to some criminal files related to the vassal kings and clans, and find out the ones that were pressed down before, I will be of great use!" Yan Song wrapped the quilt around his body, sat up from the Hu bed, and then commanded.

"Father, did Your Majesty ask you to do this? But if we do this, we will inevitably offend a large number of vassal kings and clans, and we can't bear their anger! When Yan Shifan heard what his father said, he couldn't help but be frightened.

"What are you afraid of! Your Majesty is not afraid, so what is there to fear of me, the head of the cabinet? The price of offending the clan is certainly heavy, but in exchange, His Majesty gave me a promise. Yan Song spoke slowly.

"What promise?" Yan Shifan was very curious about the promise His Majesty had made to his father.

"As long as Your Majesty is still the emperor for a day, those people will not be able to touch our Yan family, Your Majesty, it is the backstage of our Yan family!"

"What?" Hearing his father's words, Yan Shifan was shocked for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Remember what I said earlier, let's only eat His Majesty's bowl of rice." Yan Song looked at his son's stunned appearance, and then reminded.

"Got it." Yan Shifan came back to his senses and hurriedly said yes.

"Break off the relationship over there, I don't want to check and find myself when the time comes."

"In addition, by the way, Hu Zongxian has ordered that those who bewitch the people to make trouble will be severely punished, and let him do it." As if he suddenly remembered, Yan Song suddenly added such a sentence.

"Yes, the child is gone." Yan Shifan bowed and left.

……

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Jiajing finished today's cultivation, feeling the more and more abundant mana in his body, his face was happy, and if he continued to cultivate like this, he would soon be able to break through the cultivation threshold and advance to the realm of the second layer of qi refining.

"Now that I have the mana, but I lack the means to fight the enemy, why don't I ask Longhu Mountain or some mountain to send me a few thunder methods that can be cultivated? I don't know if those thunder laws are real. ”

Jiajing pinched his chin and thought for a long time: "If the Lei Fa sent can really cultivate, he may become the emperor with the highest force value in history." ”

At that time, one day, when the royal driver was personally conscripted, he directly instilled mana into it, and shouted: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, look at my thunder law!" ”
