After listening to Xu Jie's analysis, everyone also felt that it made sense, and after Xu Jie's words, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes full of expectation.

"Hmph, Yan Song, you finally can't bear it, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, it's finally my turn Xu Jie!"

Thinking of this, Xu Jie immediately glanced at the chair not far away that only the cabinet chief assistant was qualified to sit on, and his eyes were full of heat.

And Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng on the side also looked thoughtful, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Soon, the news that Yan Song was seriously ill spread among the government and the opposition at a viral speed.

……

After Yan Maoqing learned the news, he suddenly felt that the sky had fallen, and he sat back on the chair in despair, muttering to himself silently.

"Elder Yan Ge, you can't have anything to do with your old age, what do you have to do, how can I live Yan Maoqing!"

Yan Maoqing knew very well in his heart that his corruption and bribery had already become known to the whole dynasty.

For a long time, the reason why no one made a move against him was mostly for Yan Song's sake, after all, no one was willing to risk offending the head of the cabinet and going to impeach Yan Maoqing.

And now, the news that Yan Song is seriously ill has come out, and those people behind him are probably about to start moving again.

If the news circulating in the government and the opposition is true, once Yan Song dies, then Xu Jie, the Qingliu boss, will inevitably take over as the first assistant of the cabinet, and when the time comes, he Yan Maoqing will definitely be the first to be liquidated!

Yan Maoqing roughly imagined his tragic fate in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"No, Yan Maoqing, you definitely can't sit still!"

"Let's just go to Luo Longwen and discuss with them, what can be done!"

It stands to reason that officials cannot leave their posts at will during their work, and if they are discovered by the imperial court, they will definitely be severely punished, but under the stake of life and death, Yan Maoqing at this time can no longer take care of so much.

I saw that he called his subordinates, found a random reason, and then walked out of the room.

I don't know if it's Yan Maoqing's illusion, those subordinates who were extremely respectful and nodded in the past had a hint of inexplicable meaning in their eyes looking at him at the moment.

……

On the way to the Ministry of Industry, Yan Maoqing was very cautious, for fear of meeting a colleague, but fortunately, things went well, and Yan Maoqing finally arrived at the Ministry of Industry without danger.

After entering the Ministry of Industry, Yan Maoqing suddenly discovered that Zhang Runde, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Luo Longwen, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and some members of the Yan Party had already gathered here to discuss the next countermeasures.

When everyone saw Yan Maoqing coming, they immediately stopped talking and fell their eyes on him.

Yan Maoqing was a little weak by everyone's eyes, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing this, Zhang Runde immediately pulled Yan Maoqing in and spoke.

"Yan Maoqing, you came just in time, you have a lot of ideas, just give us ideas!"

Seeing this situation, Yan Maoqing's face was immediately full of helplessness, and after hesitating for a moment, he still chose to tell the purpose of his trip truthfully.

"Its ...... Actually, I came here to ask you if there is any solution, who ......knows?"

Before Yan Maoqing's words were finished, a tall and thin official stood up and proposed to everyone.

"Right now, the news that the elder of the pavilion is seriously ill is spreading in the court, just with our little shrimps, how can we fight through the clear stream, I think, we are still ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Zhang Runde: "Shut up the official, you spineless thing!" ”

Suddenly reprimanded by this, the tall and thin official did not dare to speak any more, and hid in the corner without saying a word.

After Zhang Runde finished speaking, after looking around, he said unhurriedly: "I know that there are many people at the scene, all of whom have the same idea as him, but have you ever thought about it, why should people accept our surrender?" ”

"To be sure, how many of you have clean butts?"

"When Xu Jie takes power, the first thing he wants to liquidate is us, for so many years, the relationship between us and Qingliu has long been on the same footing, and there is no possibility of reconciliation!"

When Zhang Runde said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add: "Besides, he Xu Jieke is still counting on taking the position under our ass to buy people's hearts!" ”

Zhang Runde's words successfully persuaded most of the people on the scene, because under the nest, An has finished eggs?

After all, at the moment, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, no matter how big the gap is and how reluctant they are, they have to work together to get through the difficulties in front of them first!

And Zhang Runde relied on Fang Cai's words, and successfully won the trust of most people, and everyone asked him about the next countermeasures.

Seeing this, Zhang Runde immediately commanded after a moment of silence.

"Since Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xiao Ge are not here, then everyone will listen to my orders!"

When Zhang Runde said this, he looked around and continued: "First of all, we must find out the truth of the rumors, and the simplest and most direct way is to personally send someone to Yan Mansion to investigate the situation!" ”

When Zhang Runde said this, he turned his gaze to the side and immediately spoke.

"This matter will be handled by Lord Wang!"

Zhang Runde's voice fell, and the official who was swept by Zhang Runde's gaze immediately stood up and assured everyone: "Well, leave this matter to me!" ”

After that, Zhang Runde looked at everyone and continued: "Before investigating the truth of the rumors, everyone must not act rashly, everything can be carried out as usual!" ”

……

Compared with the panic on the Yan Dang's side and the bullet crown celebration on the Qingliu side, Hai Rui's inspectorate is much calmer.

At this moment, in the duty room of the Inspectorate, Hai Rui, as usual, was dealing with the impeachment in front of him.

Since the news of Yan Song's serious illness came out before, people have often asked Hai Rui sideways, wanting to hear some news from his mouth so as to prepare in advance.

In the eyes of those people, Hai Jui has a deep background, and maybe he will know something.

But when they saw that Hai Rui was still quietly dealing with the impeachment recitals as usual, the stone in their hearts suddenly fell to the ground.

"Well, looking at Hai Rui's calm appearance, this news must be a rumor!"

"Yes, Hai Jui's background is unfathomable, and people must have already gotten the exact news. Otherwise, how could they be so calm? ”

"Really, who is spreading rumors, if Yan Ge Lao knows, then it will be okay?"

"Okay, okay, let's go back and deal with the official document quickly, if you let Lord Zhao know, we will all have to go around without eating!"

Just as Hai Rui had finished handling the impeachment recitals and put them aside, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door.

After a while, I saw a servant step into the duty room, lowered his head, and said respectfully to Hai Rui: "Lord Du Yushi, Lord Zhao asked you to go over immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Hai Rui withdrew his gaze from the official and spoke instead.

"Well, I'll go over now!"
