After that, everyone did not hesitate too much, and immediately stepped on the steps of the Qianqing Palace.

After entering the Qianqing Palace, several people, under the leadership of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, knelt on the ground in unison, and said in unison.

"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Jiajing heard this, after looking everyone up and down, he spoke unhurriedly.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing's words fell, everyone got up from the ground one after another.

Because the incident that happened near Zhengyangmen earlier was too shocking, Yan Song didn't think about how to report the matter to Jiajing for a while.

Just as Yan Song was still thinking hard about this, Jiajing's rather flat voice sounded in his ears.

"Tell me, what do you need to report to me?"

When Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song suddenly came back to his senses, and after organizing the words in his mind, he immediately spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, here's the thing, not long ago, near Zhengyangmen......"

Soon, Yan Song repeated the ins and outs of the matter to Jiajing again.

Seeing that Yan Song's statement was not far from Lu Fang's previous description, Jiajing nodded faintly, and immediately confirmed to Yan Song.

"Can I understand it this way, this group of court officials in broad daylight, near Zhengyangmen, because of political disagreements between each other, had a quarrel, and then developed into a brawl?"

After listening to Jiajing's summary, Yan Song had to respond stubbornly: "Qi ...... Your Majesty, you can ...... Think so! ”

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, he saw Jiajing slam the table and scolded angrily.

"It's really unreasonable, these damn bastards, where they put the face of the court, the face of the court is about to be lost by them!"

"Where do they think this is, this is the Forbidden City, it's not a place where they can go wild casually!"

Jiajing's words fell, and everyone did not hesitate at all, and immediately knelt on the ground and asked Jiajing for guilt.

"Please calm your majesty's anger!"

Jiajing did not comment on this, but turned his gaze to Yan Shifan, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"Yan Shifan, you say, if their behavior is in accordance with the Ming Law, how should they be dealt with?"

Yan Shifan saw Jiajing throwing this question to himself in a grand manner, and there was a sudden 'buzz' in his mind, and after a while, he came back to his senses and replied tremblingly.

"Enlightenment...... Your Majesty, if you follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that these officials who gather crowds to fight will be imprisoned and sentenced to at least three years! ”

After listening to Yan Shifan's answer, Jiajing withdrew his gaze and said to himself.

"Three years!"

Yan Song saw that Jiajing seemed to be a little moved by this, and immediately panicked, and he didn't care about anything else at the moment, so he hurriedly pleaded with Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that this matter is purely accidental, if it is dealt with according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, is it too harsh?"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Xu Jie, who was on the side, also stood up and admonished Jiajing.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that they should be given a chance!"

"What's more, these people are all in important positions, if they are dealt with so simply and rudely, at that time, I am afraid it will cause shock to the government and the opposition!"

Seeing that Yan Song and Xu Jie stood up one after another to intercede for these people, Jiajing thought about it for a long time before he spoke.

"Well, maybe, since you two intercede for them, then I will spare them this time!"

Hearing Jiajing's words, Yan Song and Xu Jie relieved their hearts and said secretly.

"Whew~ It's okay, Your Majesty is going to raise it high and drop it gently, it seems that it's okay!"

Just as the two of them were glad about this, Jiajing seemed to see what the two were thinking, and then added.

"Although I have pardoned their crimes, after all, this matter is related to the face of the imperial court, how do you think it should be handled?"

Yan Song and Xu Jie couldn't hear the overtones in Jiajing's words, in their opinion, His Majesty meant to quickly come up with a feasible solution and let this matter be turned over as soon as possible.

Subsequently, Yan Song and Xu Jie, patting their chests, assured Jiajing that something like today would never happen again in the future, not only that, but they also proposed to Jiajing that the officials who participated in the brawl be fined for three months as punishment.

Regarding the suggestions put forward by Yan Song and Xu Jie, Jiajing agreed after thinking for a while.

Seeing that the matter had settled, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Yan Song and Xu Jie, and commanded.

"Okay, let's leave this matter at this for now, if it's okay, you can leave!"

Hearing Jiajing's words, everyone hurriedly suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in their hearts and bowed to Jiajing.

"Obey, Your Majesty, Weichen will retire!"

After that, several members of the cabinet did not stay too long and left the Qianqing Palace one after another.

At the moment when he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, Xu Jie only felt that the invisible pressure that had been surrounding him all arose and he looked at the scenery in the distance and said to himself silently.

"Hmph, just by you, you also want to fight with me Xu Jie, you are still far away!"

……

Night falls, Yan Mansion.

I saw Yan Song sitting next to the bookcase, looking at an unknown book in his hand quite intently, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Seeing that his thoughts were interrupted, Yan Song's face couldn't help but show a little impatience, and immediately, he saw him put down the book in his hand and commanded.

"Come in!"

When Yan Song's words fell, I only heard a 'squeak', only to see Yan Shifan push open the door of the study and walk in.

The moment he entered the study, he turned his gaze to Yan Song and bowed.

"Father!"

When Yan Song heard this, he withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan's body and asked instead.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

After Yan Shifan got Yan Song's approval, after considering the language, he stepped forward and reported to Yan Song respectfully.

"Father, here's the thing, according to Zhang Runde, earlier today, after receiving your order, he summoned Luo Longwen, Yan Maoqing and others to the Criminal Department to discuss how to deal with Yan Guan."

"Who knew that in this process, he Yan Maoqing actually wanted to escape!"

When Yan Shifan said this, he seemed to be quite indignant about this matter, and suddenly raised his tone.

After listening to Yan Shifan's narration, Yan Song couldn't help frowning, and then said in a deep voice.

"This Yan Maoqing is really impatient, why did he think that he would be safe and sound for so many years?"

When Yan Song said this, in his mind, he couldn't help but recall a dream he had when he was seriously ill.

In the dream, he Yan Maoqing was also responsible for collecting salt taxes for the imperial court, but in this process, he Yan Maoqing intercepted three million taels of silver privately and only gave the emperor one million taels, which angered the emperor and quickly opened the curtain of "inverted strictness".

In the end, not only was Yan Shifan dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded, but he also ended up begging in the grave, and finally died of poverty and illness.

It is no exaggeration to say that he Yan Maoqing is the culprit who caused his downfall!

Thinking of this, the expression on Yan Song's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he secretly made up his mind that he must strangle the danger in the cradle!

Immediately, I saw Yan Song come back to his senses, turn his gaze to Yan Shifan, and command.

"It seems that this Yan Maoqing can't stay, we have to find a chance to deal with him!"
