In the cabinet, Yan Song looked at the list in front of him, which was just sent by Zhao Zhenji, and couldn't help but have a cold smile on his face.

"Hmph, you still dare to use the matter of the solar eclipse to play on the topic, see how this official cleans you up next!"

Immediately, I saw Yan Song turn his gaze to Xu Jie, who was on the side, and said slowly.

"Oh, Elder Xu Ge, this is the list sent by Zhao Zhenji, take a look!"

"Hmm."

When Xu Jie heard this, he responded imperceptibly, and immediately took the list from Yan Song's hands.

Soon, Xu Jie finished browsing all the names on the list, and his face became very gloomy.

Because on the list, there are not only those officials, but even the part of the people who are so respectful to him on weekdays and eager to offer him up are also involved, and this makes Xu Jie have a feeling of betrayal.

Immediately, I saw Xu Jie slam the table and said in a deep voice.

"This group of insects, what do they want to do, I see, there must be someone behind this who instigated it, intending to destroy the stability of my Ming Dynasty, and they must have accepted it...... Silver over there in Tatars! ”

At this moment, from outside the cabinet, there was a rush of footsteps, and I saw a servant hurrying into the cabinet.

The moment he entered the cabinet, he looked in the direction where Yan Song and Xu Jie were located, and reported respectfully.

"Old Yuge, Grandpa Lu is asking to see you outside!"

Hearing this, several people in the cabinet couldn't help but have a trace of surprise on their faces, because Lu Fang came to the cabinet at this time, it must have been the emperor's instructions.

Because of this, after several people exchanged glances with each other, they saw Yan Song clear his throat and command.

"In that case, then quickly invite Grandpa Lu in!"

"Yes, Yan Ge Lao!"

After answering the call, the official did not stop in the room for the slightest, but left the cabinet quickly.

Not long after, Lu Fang entered the cabinet under the leadership of the previous official.

Seeing Lu Fang's arrival, under the leadership of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, the remaining few people got up from their seats one after another and said in unison.

"I've seen Grandpa Lu!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang nodded imperceptibly, and after looking around, he immediately spoke.

"You don't have to be so polite, our family came here this time to bring you a word at the behest of His Majesty!"

When Lu Fang's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but tense their nerves, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of missing something.

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, I saw Lu Fang withdraw his gaze and said slowly.

"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that you don't have to look ahead and backward when you act, he is your most solid backing!"

After listening to Lu Fang's words, everyone's faces were full of shock, because the emperor's words were tantamount to patting his chest and assuring everyone that you don't have any worries, you just need to fight to the end with that group of speech officials and the group of people behind them!

In other words, no matter what happens next, there will be the emperor's endorsement on the cabinet's side!

Prior to this, the cabinet had a certain degree of fear against the menacing officials, because the power of those officials was indeed very powerful, and the public opinion of the DPRK and China was firmly in their hands.

As far as the duty of officials is concerned, it is to hearsay that even if they have wronged someone, they will not be punished too severely.

Anyone who is attacked by the official will fall into complete passivity in public opinion first, not to mention looking for evidence to prove his innocence.

But it is impossible to prove your innocence, because the person who wronged you sometimes knows better than you that you are innocent!

Now, with Jiajing, the powerful emperor, endorsing the cabinet, then all their actions will be greatly rationalized in the future.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is the sky, and any act of disobedience to the emperor can be called a great rebellion!

After this, I saw Xu Jie coming back to his senses first, looking at Lu Fang's eyes, full of gratitude, only to see him arch his hand to Lu Fang, and said respectfully.

"There's Father-in-law Laolu!"

Lu Fang didn't care about this, just waved his hand quite casually and said.

"Where, our family just came to bring a word at the behest of His Majesty, and since the words have been brought, then our family will not stay here longer!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he immediately walked away, and when everyone saw this situation, they immediately said in unison.

"Grandpa Lu, go slowly!"

……

After Lu Fang left, Xu Jie's face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed, he had already thought of what method should be taken to deal with these officials, only to see him cough lightly twice, and proposed to Yan Song.

"Ahem, Elder Yan Ge, since Gonggong Lu has already brought His Majesty's intentions, shouldn't we also be prepared?"

"It's impossible for a few of us to come forward in person like last time, right?"

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song also instantly understood Xu Jie's meaning, and summed it up in two words - shake people!

The reason why Xu Jie proposed this was because among those officials, there were many people who had a hot temper and didn't care about it, in case there was a conflict between the two sides at that time, and if something happened accidentally, things would be in trouble.

On the other hand, in order to reasonably avoid risks, in case something unforeseen happens, the cabinet can also withdraw in time without bearing any responsibility.

In short, they are outsourcing the tasks they received from Jiajing to their subordinates, and if they have merit at that time, they will be able to make good use of the cabinet's knowledge, and if something happens, they will not have to bear harsh criticism!

In Xu Jie's view, this is a win-win strategy, which is to advance and win, and retreat to win.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie glanced at Yan Song without a trace, and suddenly, in his mind, such an absurd idea suddenly appeared coldly: "In case the Yanguan doesn't talk about martial arts at that time, I don't know if I can support it with Yan Song's old bones?" ”

In case something happens to Yan Song, won't he be able to take over the position of the first assistant to the cabinet logically?

But soon, Xu Jie suppressed this absurd thought: "No, now is not the time to think about this, the top priority is to deal with those officials, or wait until this matter is over!" ”

Just when Xu Jie's side was still thinking in his mind, Yan Song's side had already made a decision after a short period of thought, and he planned to follow Xu Jie's suggestion.

After making up his mind, he saw Yan Song look around and propose to everyone.

"I think Elder Xu Ge has a point, we can't go into battle in person like last time, what do you think?"

As soon as Yan Song's words came out, everyone understood the meaning contained in them, and without too much hesitation, they agreed to this suggestion.

Seeing that no one raised any objections to this, Yan Song and Xu Jie officially started to act after glancing at each other.

……

On the side of the Criminal Department, just as Zhang Runde, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was still dealing with the complicated affairs at hand, he heard a knock on the door.

Zhang Runde endured the unhappiness in his heart, put down the brush in his hand, and immediately commanded.

"Come in!"

When the words fell, I saw a servant enter the room in a hurry, and after bowing to Zhang Runde, he immediately spoke.

"Lord Zhang, the old Xiaoge is entrusted to tell you ......"
