Chapter 343: Rumors Spread
If Yan Song was able to comfort himself with the fact that His Majesty had not received his own recital as a reason, as time went by, his whole person gradually became uneasy.
In the early morning, Yan Song kept pacing in the room, and countless possibilities couldn't help but flash in his mind.
"Could it be that I didn't handle what His Majesty told me before?"
"Or maybe I did something wrong and made His Majesty angry?"
The more Yan Song thought about it, the more anxious he felt, and the details that he had ignored in the past were also in his mind, like a slide, constantly appearing.
"Yes, it's probably the last incident that upset Your Majesty."
"Otherwise, Your Majesty would definitely not do this to me."
"No, I have to find an opportunity to explain the reason to Your Majesty in person!"
In this way, Yan Song fell into deep self-doubt.
After a while, the voice of the maid came from outside the door: "Elder Yan Ge, the morning meal is ready." ”
Seeing this, Yan Song had no choice but to suppress all his inner thoughts and immediately came to the hall.
The dishes on the table were extraordinarily rich, but in front of Yan Song, there was still millet porridge and pickles that could not be shaken.
I saw Yan Song pick up the bowl and put a piece of pickles in his mouth, but for some reason, Yan Song felt the same taste as chewing wax and couldn't taste any taste.
After a while, I saw Yan Song put the bowl down, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Yan Shifan also rushed to the hall, and when he saw that Yan Song had not moved a bite of food, a look of worry appeared on his face, and he immediately asked.
"Father, is it because the food is not to your taste?"
"Well, I'll ask the kitchen to make a new one for you, how about it?"
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he immediately called the maid and commanded.
"Serve them all down and make another one!"
The maid who was summoned by Yan Shifan was just about to respond, but Yan Song shook her head and said slowly.
"No need, I just don't have an appetite!"
Seeing this, Yan Shifan's face was even more worried, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke.
"Father, now that you are recovering from a serious illness, you should pay more attention to your body!"
"Presumably, Your Majesty doesn't want to see you like this now, right?"
"Maybe Your Majesty just wants you to rest for a few more days and recuperate your body more!"
Yan Shifan said that he couldn't say any more, he knew that his reasons were too pale and weak.
"It can't be that something went wrong on the celebrant's side, right?"
Yan Shifan thought so, immediately bit his lip, and just froze in place, without saying a word.
In this way, the atmosphere in the room fell into a stagnant, and after a long time, he moved his lips and said faintly.
"Father, let's do this, the child will find out the news for you again!"
Yan Song didn't say anything about Yan Shifan's words, just waved his hand and said slowly.
"The time is almost up, you go to duty, and I'll figure out the rest!"
"Yes, father, the child is gone!"
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he walked away.
But for some reason, Yan Shifan suddenly turned around and took a look, and suddenly found that Yan Song was still standing in place, his body looked quite rickety, and the whole person did not have the spirit of the past.
And this scene gave Yan Shifan an illusion, as if it only took a breeze to blow Yan Song would fall completely.
"No, it won't!"
Yan Shifan shook his head, warned himself in his heart not to think nonsense, and immediately took a sedan chair and marched towards the Forbidden City.
……
Outside the cabinet, three palanquins of different colors are parked here, and Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng have come down from the sedan chair with the support of the slaves.
As soon as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng got off the sedan chair, they turned their eyes to Xu Jie, bowed slightly, and their faces were full of respect.
"I've seen Xu Ge Lao!"
"Don't be polite, get up!"
Xu Jie's face was full of warm smiles, and he withdrew his gaze, and immediately said to the two of them.
"Thank you, Elder Xu Ge!"
Seeing this, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng slowly got up, and immediately followed behind Xu Jie, no longer speaking.
Xu Jie walked in front of himself, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately stopped and said slowly.
"It's been some time since Yan Ge Lao's letter was submitted, why hasn't Your Majesty reinstated Yan Ge Lao yet, you say, could something have happened?"
When Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng on the side heard this, they quickly understood the meaning contained in Xu Jie's words, and began to think silently in their hearts.
After a long time, I saw Gao Gong cough lightly twice and take the lead in speaking.
"Elder Xu Ge, I think there must be something strange in this, it can't be that there is a problem on the side of the celebrant supervisor!"
"It should be out of other considerations on Your Majesty's side that you suppressed Yan Ge Lao's letter."
As soon as Gao Gong's voice fell, Zhang Juzheng on the side also followed closely with Ying Hedao.
"Elder Xu Ge, I think so too."
After listening to Gao Gong's words, Xu Jie didn't make any comments, just nodded and said slowly.
"Let's go, there's still a lot of music waiting for us to deal with!"
After Xu Jiejie finished speaking, he stepped on the steps and marched towards the cabinet.
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other, and then took three steps and two steps, followed Xu Jie's footsteps, and entered the cabinet together.
The three of them then sat down in their respective seats and began to work on the notes.
After Xu Jie put aside the finished performance, he accidentally glanced at the vacant seat of the cabinet chief assistant on the side, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself silently.
"Hmph, wait, sooner or later, this position will be my Xu Jie!"
At this moment, I saw Yan Shifan step into the cabinet, ignoring everyone's gaze, went straight to his seat and sat down, silently dealing with these notes in front of him.
Soon, the first assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song, submitted a note to the emperor, but there was no response, and it spread quietly in the capital.
And those officials who understand the reasons for this are all silent and unwilling to make any evaluations.
After all, this matter is related to the cabinet chief assistant of the current dynasty, who dares to chew on the root of the tongue on this?
Not to mention anything else, just one Yan Shifan is not something they can afford to provoke!
But despite this, there are still some things that are quietly changing, whether it is people's hearts or something else.
……
When Luo Longwen, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, learned the news, the whole person was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was in a hurry.
In a hurry, he found Zhang Runde, a waiter in the Criminal Department, to discuss the next countermeasures.
In the room, after repeatedly confirming that no one was eavesdropping nearby, Luo Longwen turned his gaze to Zhang Runde and lowered his voice.
"You say, will this matter that has been rumored in the capital be true recently, Yan Ge Lao's ......?"
Before Luo Longwen's words were finished, he was interrupted impatiently by Zhang Runde.
"This is definitely a rumor, Yan Ge has been the head of the cabinet for more than 20 years, how can he say that he will fall?"
"Besides, so far, Your Majesty hasn't given any explanation!"
"Besides, even if something really happens to Yan Ge Lao's side, we won't be able to escape, and when Qingliu's gang takes power, the first one to liquidate will be us!"
When Luo Longwen heard this, his face was full of despair, and he immediately spoke.
"Then what should we do, we can't just wait for death with peace of mind, right?"
When Zhang Runde heard this, he sighed helplessly and gave his proposal.
"Let's go visit Elder Yan Ge tonight and see if he has any solutions."
Seeing this, Luo Longwen had no choice but to nod and agree to Zhang Runde's proposal.
"Alas, that's all it can be like now!"
Zhang Runde's voice just fell, and then as if he suddenly remembered, he added a sentence.
"By the way, call Yan Maoqing too, he has a lot of ideas, maybe he can play some role when the time comes!"
When Luo Longwen heard this, he nodded and responded.
"yes, I see."
