After a short time, Jiajing rode the dragon and marched towards Yanfu.

The road had long since been emptied, the people had been driven back to their homes, and the streets were full of patrolling soldiers, who were now nervous, searching with their eyes for every possible place to hide.

Not only that, but openly and secretly, there are countless brocade guards guarding Jiajing's safety.

Before this, Yan Shifan had already learned the news that Jiajing was going to come in person, and hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to prepare for the holy drive.

At this moment, the dragon that Jiajing was riding had reached a place not far from Yan's Mansion, and every five steps on the street, there was a soldier in charge of guarding.

Seeing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze, and then retracted his gaze, turned to look at Lu Fang on the side, and asked.

"Lu Fang, what do you think the court is like now?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he lowered his head, looked at the ground under his feet, and immediately responded.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid feels that once the news of Yan Ge's serious illness comes out, the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition will inevitably fluctuate!"

"I'm afraid that most of the officials in the court are thinking about how to get closer to Xu Jie, right?"

After listening to Lu Fang's answer, Jiajing also nodded imperceptibly, and said slowly: "Yes, right now, the hearts of the people in the DPRK are fluctuating, and some people want to go further, but isn't it inevitable that they are a little too anxious?" ”

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang responded without thinking: "The person Your Majesty said is Xu ......?"

Before Lu Fang's words were finished, he quickly reacted, and immediately stopped talking, looked at the ground nonchalantly, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang lightly and said unhurriedly.

"Say, why don't you continue?"

Lu Fang was helpless, and after hesitating for a moment, he immediately replied stubbornly: "Your Majesty, is the person you are referring to Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao?" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body and said slowly: "Who else is there besides him, don't think that I don't know that he Xu Jie's small actions are hidden from me, but all this time, I have turned a blind eye to this." ”

Jiajing paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued.

"Although Yan Song is easy to use, but after all, he is old, and he gradually can't control the people under him, if no one puts pressure on the side, Yan Dang will definitely become difficult to control, and at that time, how can they do things for me with all their hearts?"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Lu Fang suddenly felt that everything suddenly became clearer, and all those doubts in the past were eliminated at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang followed this train of thought and continued to think about it.

"Your Majesty kept Xu Jie, in order to control the Yan Party, so that they can do things with all their hearts, even if the Yan Party can't get through, Your Majesty can rely on the strength of Qingliu to get things done!"

"But right now, Yan Song is seriously ill, and the balance that has always been broken has been broken, will Your Majesty take measures about it?"

"If His Majesty were to take action, what would he choose?"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly recalled the situation that Zhao Zhenji reported to Jiajing at the beginning: "The Xu family in Songjiang, where Xu Jie, is located, annexed 280,000 mu of land!" ”

"In other words, His Majesty has always held Xu Jie's handle in his hands, as long as he wants to, he can kill Xu Jie's at any time!"

"Right now, if Yan Song dies, Qingliu will definitely become difficult to control, and Your Majesty may send Xu Jie away as well!"

Thinking of this, Lu Fang looked at Jiajing's eyes full of horror.

What he didn't expect was that Jiajing had already made all preparations before this, and if Yan Song died, he Xu Jie would not be able to escape!

Just when Lu Fang was stunned, Jiajing's ancient sound sounded in Lu Fang's ears: "Lu Fang, what are you still doing in a daze, it's here!" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head deeply, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

……

At this moment, the main gate of the Yan Mansion.

Yan Shifan and the doctors of the Tai Hospital knelt down here early, waiting for Jiajing's arrival.

After Jiajing's dragon arrived at the door of Yan's mansion, under the leadership of Yan Shifan, everyone immediately said in unison.

"Weichen greets Your Majesty's holy drive, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Hearing this, Jiajing got down from the dragon, then swept his gaze over them one by one, and only after a moment did he command.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's answer, everyone slowly got up from the ground with gratitude.

Jiajing didn't say too much greetings, but went straight to the point, turned his gaze to Yan Shifan, and commanded: "Take me in and have a look!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come here!"

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he led the way in front of him, his face was full of humility, and the group of imperial doctors followed behind Jiajing with such anxiety.

Under the leadership of Yan Shifan, everyone came to Yan Song's room after passing through a long corridor.

After this, I saw Yan Shifan pause, turned around, and reported to Jiajingyu: "Your Majesty, in front of you is the room where my father is." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he bowed his head slightly at Yan Shifan, and then turned around, looked at those imperial doctors, and asked.

"I ask you, what is the current situation of Elder Yan Ge?"

Hearing this, those imperial doctors immediately knelt on the ground tremblingly, plucked up their courage, and responded.

"Your Majesty, at present, Yan Gelao's symptoms are abnormal body temperature, accompanied by hemoptysis, night sweats and other symptoms."

"Combined with the information we got from Xiao Ge Lao before, most of Yan Ge Lao's illness is undoubtedly tuberculosis!"

When Jiajing heard this, an impatient look suddenly appeared on his face, and he glanced at the imperial doctor coldly, and said in a deep voice.

"Where is there so much nonsense, you can directly say, can Yan Song's illness be cured?"

When the imperial doctor saw this, he immediately panicked, and he didn't say a reason for a long time, and everyone present saw this, and their hearts sank.

"This means that Yan Song's condition is very tricky, and there is little hope of cure!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang on the side immediately stood up, his face was full of gloom, and he immediately reprimanded: "What a fool, Your Majesty asked you!" ”

Seeing this, the panic on the doctor's face became even worse, and he just kept kowtowing to the ground.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Li, who had been silent, stood up as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, a little curiosity couldn't help but appear on his face, and he immediately asked, "Oh, Imperial Doctor Li, what are you guilty of?" ”

Seeing Jiajing's gaze fall on him, Imperial Physician Li immediately forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and told everything he knew.

"In fact, before this, the last time Wei Chen treated Yan Ge Lao, he found Yan Ge Lao's illness!"

When Imperial Physician Li's words fell, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of everyone present, especially Yan Shifan.

When Imperial Physician Li said this, after looking around, he continued: "After Wei Chen learned that Yan Ge Lao was suffering from tuberculosis, he strongly advised him to pay attention to rest, and prescribed him a few pairs of medicines to recuperate his body! ”

"Who knew that Yan Ge Lao asked Wei Chen to swear in front of him that he would not leak his illness to anyone, there was only one maid present at the time, and in the face of Yan Ge Lao's request, Wei Chen did not dare to disobey, so he swore in front of Yan Ge Lao."

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately reacted, turned his gaze to Imperial Doctor Li, and asked.

"The maid who was at the scene at the time, was she the one who was full-time to decoct medicine for my father?"

At first, Imperial Physician Li was still a little confused, but when Yan Shifan roughly described the maid's dress and facial features, Imperial Physician Li immediately reacted and confirmed it conclusively.

"Well, that's right!"

After that, Yan Shifan summoned the maid who was responsible for decocting medicine for Yan Song in front of everyone, and learned the truth of the matter from her mouth.

Since Imperial Physician Li finished treating Yan Song, Yan Song did not follow Imperial Physician Li's advice and continued to go his own way, corresponding to Yan Song's deteriorating physical condition.

Not only that, but the number of times he took the medicine has gradually increased from three times a day at the beginning to four or even five times a day, and on the eve of Yan Song's vomiting blood, the number of times he took the medicine has reached as many as six times a day!

It was only at this time that Yan Shifan reacted, it turned out that the clay pot full of medicinal residues he had seen earlier was not the untreated medicinal residue that had accumulated before, but because he had taken the medicine too many times, and the remaining medicinal residue had not had time to dump!

After listening to Imperial Doctor Li's narration, everyone was also silent for a long time, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, only to hear the trembling voice of Imperial Physician Li come out: "Weichen has made such a big mistake, please ask Your Majesty to deal with Weichen!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he just looked Imperial Doctor Li up and down, but did not respond.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that the development of things to this point today has not much to do with Imperial Doctor Li, and because of this, Wei Chen implores His Majesty to open up!"

After that, I saw Yan Shifan kneeling on the ground with a 'plop' and begging Jiajing.

After Yan Shifan, those imperial doctors also asked Jiajing together: "The ministers implore Your Majesty to open the net!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he was silent for a long time before turning his gaze to Imperial Doctor Li and commanding.

"In that case, then a fine of two months as a punishment!"

When Imperial Physician Li heard this, a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on his face, and he kept kowtowing on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Thank You, Your Majesty!"

Everyone present knew that the emperor had spared Imperial Physician Li's life, otherwise, if he really had to be investigated, Imperial Physician Li would definitely be to blame, and if he didn't keep it, he would end up with a full body of beheading.

After this, I saw Jiajing turn his gaze to the room where Yan Song was and ask the imperial doctor on the side.

"In that case, can I go in and see Elder Yan Ge now?"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, those imperial doctors buried their heads deeply, and after thinking for a long time, they responded.

"Your Majesty, please!"

In the face of the emperor's request, they didn't dare not agree, after all, this was probably the last meeting between their monarchs and ministers!

After this, I saw Jiajing nodding imperceptibly, and then walked into Yan Song's room alone.

……

As soon as he entered the room, a strong and pungent smell of medicine poured into Jiajing's nasal cavity, and then, the silver needles used by the imperial doctors on the table were also presented in front of Jiajing one by one.

Just as Jiajing was stunned, Yan Song's extremely weak voice sounded in the room: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, are you here? ”

Jiajing followed the prestige, and saw that Yan Song was struggling to get up from the bed and salute Jiajing at this moment.

Seeing this, Jiajing immediately stepped to Yan Song's side, shook his head, and said slowly.

"No need!"

When Yan Song heard this, he stopped moving, his eyes were full of loneliness, and he said to Jiajing after coughing lightly twice.

"Micro ...... Wechen let Your Majesty bother, cough cough! ”

Jiajing did not make any comments on this, but moved a stool, sat in front of Yan Song's bed, and comforted him.

"It's okay, I've already asked the Imperial Doctor outside, and they said you'll be fine soon."

When Yan Song heard this, a helpless smile appeared on his pale face, and he spoke instead.

"Your Majesty, Wechen's physical condition, Wechen knows best, Wechen can't last long!"

Yan Song didn't wait for Jiajing to respond, and continued: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty, how long has Wei Chen been the head of your cabinet? ”

When Jiajing heard this, he thought for a moment and immediately responded: "It's been twenty years!" ”

After listening to Jiajing's answer, Yan Song couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and immediately spoke.

"Time flies so fast, twenty years have passed!"

"But the things of twenty years ago still appear in Wechen's mind from time to time, and Wechen remembers that the head of the cabinet at that time was Xia Yan, right?"

When Yan Song said this, he turned his gaze to Jiajing and continued: "It was because Weichen overthrew Xia Yan that he took the position of the first assistant of the cabinet!" ”

Jiajing seemed to have a premonition that Yan Song was going to say something, but he didn't stop it, but just let Yan Song continue.

After this, Yan Song was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Your Majesty, since Weichen became the first assistant of the cabinet, he has done a lot of wrong things, and he has also wrongfully killed a lot of loyalty! ”

"There is a person, Weichen has a deep memory, his name is Shen Lian, Weichen remembers, he is a Jinshi in Jiajing for seventeen years."

"At that time, he was impeached by Wechen for ten crimes, and the contents of which Wechen still clearly remember, specializing in state affairs, embezzlement and bribery, selling official positions, excluding dissidents, jealousy of the virtuous, blocking the way of speech, framing loyalty, embezzlement of military salaries, and the frequent occurrence of Japanese robbers on the southeast coast, Altan Khan in the north took the opportunity to rob the people."

Yan Song paused when he said this, and then continued.

"Your Majesty, whether these above things were done by Wei Chen, or did someone do it in the name of Wei Chen, you must have the answer in your heart!"
