Chapter 305: Intervening
At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was looking at Hai Rui in front of him with a solemn face and said slowly.
"You're saying that both sides sent separate people to visit your house?"
Hai Rui nodded and responded.
"Yes, my lord, one is Luo Longwen, the servant of the Ministry of Works, and the other is Wang Ting, the right waiter of the Ministry of Households."
Zhao Zhenji couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart after hearing the names of these two people from Hai Rui's mouth.
"The two sides will actually send these two people to lobby, it seems that there is a lot of luck in this!"
After Zhao Zhenji suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, he turned his gaze to Hai Rui and comforted him.
"You've done a good job, and then you just need to follow the rules and act impartially."
"I dare to guarantee that absolutely no one will trouble you!"
"Even if there is, it will definitely not be able to pass the official level!"
After Hai Rui received Zhao Zhenji's assurance, the whole person was also relieved, a touch of gratitude appeared on his face, and he saluted Zhao Zhenji respectfully.
"Xiaguan Hairui, thank you, sir!"
Seeing this, Zhao Zhenji got up from the seat and personally helped Hai Rui up, so admonished.
"Hai Rui, you are the most valued subordinate of this official, don't be afraid when you encounter something, there is this official behind your back to support you!"
"Next, you just need to get the business at hand!"
After listening to Zhao Zhenji's words, Hai Rui couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart, and immediately responded in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord, the lower officials understand!"
……
In the next few days, the situation in the imperial court became more turbulent, and the intensity of mutual impeachment between the two sides was greatly improved compared to before.
Qingliu, led by Xu Jie, quickly organized the corresponding forces and launched a counterattack against the Yan Party.
The two sides went back and forth, wantonly impeaching important members of the other party, but in the whole process, only two people were not affected, one was Tan Lun, and the other was Hu Zongxian!
And in this process, there is no right or wrong, only camps.
Even if it is something the size of a sesame mung bean like arriving late and leaving early, it will be used to add fuel and vinegar, and then lead to incompetent officials.
Gradually, the two sides fought a real fire, and all kinds of unjust cases, wrongful cases, and so on, which had been backlogged for a long time, were turned over.
A large number of officials were implicated in this and imprisoned.
In order to reduce their criminal responsibility, these officials who were imprisoned began to bite irresponsibly, and because of this, more and more officials were involved!
Let's ask, how many of these people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years can stand up to investigation?
After witnessing the tragic fate of their colleagues, the surviving officials were in constant fear, fearing that it would be their turn next.
This also affected the daily operation of the imperial court, resulting in a greatly reduced efficiency of the imperial court, and many government decrees were backlogged.
And Hai Rui also personally dealt with many corrupt officials in the process!
However, the strange thing is that neither Yan Dang nor Qingliu had any intention of making a move against him, which made some officials see the opportunity and immediately began to have a relationship with Hai Rui.
At this moment, in the study of the Yan Mansion.
"Father, we can't continue to fight like this anymore, right now, our people can be said to have suffered heavy losses, many of them were turned out because of old things, and then went to prison!"
"Especially that Hai Rui, who arrested a lot of our people!"
Yan Shifan turned his gaze to Yan Song, who was practicing calligraphy on the side, and said indignantly.
"Don't worry, we're uncomfortable, Xu Jie, they're no better, haven't they also lost a lot of key members?"
"Next, it's to see who can survive better, and whoever survives to the end will be the winner!"
"Or maybe His Majesty will personally intercede, otherwise, I don't see the slightest hope of stopping!"
After Yan Song finished speaking, he put aside the brush in his hand and said with emotion.
……
The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
At this moment, Jiajing is playing Go with Lu Fang.
Hearing only a 'click', Jiajing dropped the black chess piece in his hand into the chessboard, turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and immediately asked.
"Lu Fang, I ask you, how is the situation in the capital recently?"
Lu Fang replied respectfully after putting the white pieces on the chessboard.
"Your Majesty, the current struggle between the two sides is intensifying, and the impeachment of both sides is about to fill the entire Inspectorate, and many officials have been imprisoned for this!"
"The Inspectorate has been complaining a lot, and many decrees of the imperial court have also been backlogged."
After listening to Lu Fang's words, Jiajing's expression was calm, and he immediately withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang and commanded.
"Right now, the struggle between the two sides has affected the daily operation of the imperial court, and it's time for me to stop!"
"That's it, Lu Fang, you go and call Yan Song and Xu Jie to me!"
After listening to Jiajing's instructions, Lu Fang's expression turned grim, and he immediately got up from his seat and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will do it!"
"Well, go and get back."
After Jiajing instructed such a sentence, he stopped speaking.
When Lu Fang heard this, he nodded, and immediately left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
……
After receiving Jiajing's instructions, Lu Fang rushed to Yan's Mansion without stopping, and as for Xu Jie's side, he instructed his godson Feng Bao to go and inform him.
"Father, Father-in-law Lu is here!"
Yan Shifan's face was full of joy, and he immediately reported to Yan Song.
"What, Gonggong Lu is here, don't let him in quickly!"
When Yan Song learned the news from Yan Shifan's mouth, his face couldn't hide his joy, and he immediately ordered.
"Yes, Father!"
Soon, under the leadership of Yan Shifan, Lu Fang entered the study.
"Elder Yan Ge, don't come to harm?"
I saw Lu Fang with a warm smile on his face, and he took the lead to say hello to Yan Song.
"I've seen Grandpa Lu!"
After Yan Song finished speaking, he got up tremblingly from his chair and saluted respectfully.
Lu Fang just nodded at this, didn't do too much greetings, and quickly went straight to the topic.
"Elder Yan Ge, Your Majesty asked you and Elder Xu Ge to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he has something to tell you!"
Hearing this, Yan Song forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded respectfully.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu!"
"Everywhere, this is what Your Majesty meant, Elder Yan Ge, come with me!"
The look on Lu Fang's face remained unchanged, and he commanded.
Yan Song nodded, and immediately gave Yan Shifan on the side a look, and then saw Yan Shifan quietly take out a thick stack of silver tickets and stuff them into Lu Fang's hand in an extremely concealed way.
Lu Fang felt the thickness of the stack of silver tickets, and the smile on his face was even worse, and he continued.
"Elder Yan Ge, let's go!"
"Hmm."
After Yan Song responded, he immediately kept up with Lu Fang's pace and walked out of the study.
And not long after leaving the room, I saw Lu Fang turn around and ask Yan Song with a smile.
"Elder Yan Ge, do you know why Your Majesty called you and Elder Xu Ge to the Heart Cultivation Hall this time?"
Although he already had some speculation about this aspect in his heart, Yan Song still looked like he didn't know anything about it on the surface, and said suspiciously.
"I don't know for the time being, but please ask my father-in-law to solve my doubts!"
Seeing Yan Song like this, Lu Fang sighed helplessly and said.
"Your Majesty's side is quite dissatisfied with some of the things that have happened recently!"
"This time I called the two of you to go to solve this matter."
