"Alright, let me go."

Staying in a no-man's land in the Forbidden City, Yan Song said calmly.

"Yes, father, it's just ......" Yan Shifan then let go of his hand, his face full of worry.

"Nothing to regret, everything went according to plan! When he returned, the house was closed and no one was seen. ”

"All right, son, go and tell them!" Yan Shifan said that, and left quickly.

……

The Forbidden City, inside the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Jiajing sat on the dragon chair, carefully looking at the folds handed over by Yan Song, his face expressionless.

Lu Fang waited aside, with a worried look on his face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the dragon body, you should rest for a while!" ”

Jiajing nodded after listening, then put down the music fold in his hand, and called to Lu Fang softly: "Come, accompany me to drink tea." ”

When Jiajing's voice fell, Lu Fang immediately sat down in front of Jiajing tremblingly, and the maid on the side quickly poured tea for the two.

The fragrance of tea overflowed, Jiajing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "What do you think of Yan Ge Lao's twist?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to comment." Lu Fang held the teacup in his hand and smiled wryly.

"I think this is quite good, but it doesn't look like his own handwriting in terms of word choice and sentence construction, but like his son Yan Shifan's style, you see the sentence used here......" Jiajing said to rise, put down the teacup, and then chattered to Lu Fang about the difference in writing.

"Your Majesty isn't angry with Yan Ge's old man?" After hesitating for a long time, Lu Fang asked tentatively.

"Angry? Why should I be angry? When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he laughed loudly.

"Could it be that Your Majesty and Yan Ge Lao ...... together" Lu Fang seemed to have guessed something, and his face was suspicious.

"Now that you know, don't talk nonsense." Jiajing swept Lu Fang with a gloomy gaze, and then lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty, the slave will definitely rot this matter in her stomach forever!" Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Fang panicked and almost knocked over the teacup on the table.

"Okay, what are you nervous about? There's one more thing you need to do. After Jiajing drank all the tea in the cup, he poured himself another cup.

"Your Majesty, please speak, the slave is willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain, and never give up!" When Lu Fang heard what Jiajing said, he immediately paused on the ground and spoke.

"You go and spread the news of the Imperial Concubine Shen's pregnancy later, remember, don't leave any clues!" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly.

"Yes, the slave will do it now."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he bowed to Jiajing and turned to leave, but on the way back, Lu Fang kept thinking about the emperor's intention in his mind.

"Could it be that the emperor wants to use the unborn child as a bargaining chip to urge those officials to take sides? Or is there some other purpose......

Countless possibilities flashed in Lu Fang's mind, but then they were all vetoed by himself, and with this mood, Lu Fang ordered the matter to continue.

……

Night, the capital, Yuwang's mansion.

Because what happened at the court meeting during the day was too shocking, this made the king of Yu, Zhu Zaikun (ji), panicked, and after leaving the duty, he invited the people of Qingliu to the palace to discuss matters.

"What should I do next, then Yan Song proposed to his father to reduce the expenses of the clan and implement the Tui En Order! Isn't this about driving people to their deaths? When Zhu Zaikun saw Xu Jie and the others coming, he hurriedly poured bitter water.

"Your Highness, please relax, when Yan Song mentioned this matter to His Majesty today, it caused His Majesty to be angry, and even let his son take him back home, presumably Your Majesty will not accept it." Gao Gong saw that Zhu Zaikun was so nervous, and hurriedly comforted him.

"I don't think so, I've been an official in the same dynasty as Yan Song for nearly 20 years! As far as I know about him, he will never do such an irrational thing rashly, so let's go into the study and talk about it. Xu Jie took in the expression on Zhu Zaikun's face and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, please come in!" When Zhu Zaikun heard Xu Jie's words, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to the study, and called the housekeeper to let him order him to go down without anyone disturbing him.

"Is there any basis for what Elder Xu Ge said before?" After entering the study, Zhu Zaikun couldn't wait to ask Xu Jie.

"Your Highness, I don't have any basis for the time being, but judging from Yan Song's usual style of acting, I would never do such an impulsive thing."

"That Yan Song is cunning and cunning, and he is even more careful in his actions, never leaving any handles! Others act before they act, and there may be mistakes, but this Yan Song will only act after thinking about it, I suspect that today's events are also planned by him! ”

Xu Jie's brows furrowed, and he proposed his conjecture to Zhu Zaikun.

"I think Xu Ge Lao is justified in what he said, so how careful Yan Song usually acts, how could he suddenly say those heart-wrenching words at today's court meeting, there must be someone behind this!" Zhang Juzheng listened to Xu Jie's words, and after thinking for a while, he gave the answer.

And there is only one person who can make the head of the cabinet personally end, and that is the emperor!

"Hiss~" Everyone was shocked by their own conjecture and couldn't help but gasp.

"You mean, it's all His Majesty's order behind this?" Gao Gong's face was shocked, and his tone became hesitant.

"Then in that case, I'll go to my father to ask for clarification and ask him to take back his fate!" After hearing everyone's conjectures, Zhu Zaikun thought for a moment and prepared to go to the Forbidden City.

"Your Highness, no! Since Your Majesty has already decided on this matter, it cannot be changed in any way, and now that you go, not only will it not play any role, but it will also anger Your Majesty. Seeing this, Xu Jie hurriedly stopped Zhu Zaikun and comforted him bitterly.

"Then what should I do, if it is implemented according to Yan Song's method, those clans will not be able to survive!" Zhu Zaikun, who was stopped by Xu Jie, showed a look of anger on his face and opened his mouth to refute.

"This ......" Everyone was silent, and they couldn't think of anything for a while.

……

At this time, in front of the Yan Mansion, a large number of officials and students of Guozijian were gathered, and even many ordinary people in the capital were among them.

This makes many people in the capital know that in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, there is still a cabinet elder who cares about the people, is righteous and awe-inspiring, and is not afraid of power! Those vassal kings and clans usually do a lot of things to oppress the people, and the people who are bullied dare not speak out because of their identity. So as night fell, many people spontaneously gathered in Yan's mansion to support him.

And those officials and students of Guozijian, some of them were originally from the Yan Party, and some were moved by Yan Song's outspoken words at the court today, and wanted to defect to his disciples.

Officials, Guozijian students, and the people of the capital, these people with different identities on weekdays, gathered on the street where Yan's Mansion was located tonight, in an orderly and unhurried manner.

The closed door of the Yan Mansion opened, and Yan Shifan walked out of it, only to see that his face was haggard, his eyes were red, and he bowed to everyone present and said, "Father is unwell, I hope you can please go back." ”

"Pavilion Elder !" When the crowd gathered here heard Yan Shifan's words, they couldn't help but cry out bitterly.

"Recently, my Yan family has closed the door to thank guests, and I don't see anyone, I hope you understand."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he bowed to everyone again, and then slowly closed the door.

"These clans are really worms, such a good pavilion elder was forced to look like this by them!"

"Yes, let's make a wish to Your Majesty and let him clean up these people!"

"Let's go, let's go to the Forbidden City!"
