Just when Yan Song and Xu Jie thought that the matter was over, Jiajing's voice without a trace of emotion sounded in the ears of the two.

"According to Hai Rui's previous report, Yan Shenggong is also involved in this matter, what do you think I should do with him?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he glanced over Yan Song and Xu Jie's bodies respectively, quietly waiting for their answers.

When Yan Song and Xu Jie heard this, they suddenly let out a 'chuckle' in their hearts, and subconsciously pulled their inner vigilance to the highest!

Immediately, after thinking about it for a long time, I saw Yan Song stand up, and only after carefully considering the language did he speak.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run, after all, it is Yan Shenggong, if it is dealt with in a grand manner, I am afraid that it will be undignified, in case the time comes, it will ......."

Jiajing did not comment on Yan Song's words, but pinched his chin with one hand, put on a look of sudden realization, and said to himself.

"That's right, after all, Yan Ge's granddaughter is married to the contemporary Yan Shenggong, and it is understandable that you stand up and speak for him!"

When Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song only felt that the blood in his body seemed to be frozen, and he saw that his face was pale, trembling all over, and he couldn't even say a word.

Yan Song could hear the displeasure in Jiajing's words, after all, right now, the Kong family was found to have colluded with the local White Lotus Sect, and his granddaughter was married to Kong Shangxian, the contemporary Yan Shenggong.

In any case, the kinship relationship between the Yan family and the Kong family is a fact that cannot be changed.

In other words, this fire is likely to burn on his head, and the most important thing he should do now is to quickly clear up the relationship.

Yan Song quickly figured out everything behind this, only to see him kneeling straight on the ground and hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, Weichen is not openly exonerating Yan Sheng, but the Confucian family has an extremely lofty status in the eyes of scholars in the world, at that time, if Your Majesty publicly punishes Yan Shenggong, I am afraid that there will be trouble!"

"It is precisely because of this consideration that Wechen ......"

It's just that Yan Song's words were not finished before he was coldly interrupted by Jiajing.

"Yan Song, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"

Seeing this situation, Yan Song wanted to explain, but when he and Jiajing's eyes met, his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, so he had to lower his head and dare not say another word.

Xu Jie, who was on the side, saw Yan Song deflated, and his heart suddenly felt extremely happy, and after glancing at Yan Song quietly, he said secretly.

"Haha, Yan Song, you also have today, all this is your own doing!"

After this, I saw Jiajing glance at Lu Fang, who was standing beside him, and commanded.

"Lu Fang, show them the things!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he found a thick stack of files from the bookcase on the side, and after that, Lu Fang did not hesitate at all, and went straight to Yan Song and Xu Jie, and handed the files to Yan Song and Xu Jie.

Seeing this, Yan Song took the file from Lu Fang's hand with trembling hands and looked through it carefully, but soon, he was shocked by the content on it.

What is recorded in the file is the numerous crimes committed by the Confucian family over the years!

The more Yan Song looked down, the more gloomy his face became, and when he saw that more and more people from the Kong family were going to serve, and they actually raised the land rent to twenty-eight points, he was even more angry and scolded angrily.

"This damn brute, you can't give the people a way to live!"

Even though Yan Songqin had been immersed in officialdom for many years and thought that he was accustomed to seeing the ugliness of human nature, he was still shocked by the content recorded in the dossier.

Ordinary corrupt officials may still be afraid of the black gauze hat on their heads, and dare not squeeze the people too hard, for fear of provoking a popular uprising.

On the side of the Kong family, there is no such trouble at all, with the name of Yan Shenggong, he has done his best to oppress those people, for them, those people are just talking animals!

On the other hand, Xu Jie's face was not very good-looking, because the things recorded on the file really greatly exceeded his expectations, and for him, it seemed to open the door to a new world.

Jiajing glanced at Yan Song and Xu Jie, respectively, before he said in a deep voice.

"I plan to abolish the current Yan Sheng Gong and re-elect a new Yan Sheng Gong, what do you think?"

Jiajing's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yan Song and Xu Jie's hearts fiercely.

At this moment, after listening to Jiajing's words, the two of them had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"What...... What, I heard it right, Your Majesty actually wants to abolish the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong and elect a new Yan Sheng Gong to come up! ”

Yan Song and Xu Jie thought so, and glanced at each other, their faces full of horror.

For Yan Song and Xu Jie, everything at the moment is too shocking, after all, there is no such precedent in all dynasties.

Then, I saw Xu Jie, who was on the side, secretly swallowing his saliva, plucking up his courage, and admonishing Jiajing.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this matter is very important, there has never been such a precedent in all dynasties, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Hearing this, Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie expressionlessly, and then spoke.

"Hmph, Xu Jie, I don't know if you've ever heard such a sentence, called virtue is not worthy, there will be disaster!"

"You two, think about it for me, with Kong Shangxian's current virtues, can you be worthy of the position of the Holy Father of Yan?"

"Not only that, but I also heard that local officials commented on Kong Shangxian, the sixty-fourth grandson of Confucius, and the contemporary Yan Shenggong."

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

"Wherever the Holy Father passes, the people are like thieves!"

At this moment, Yan Song, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard Jiajing's words, because not long ago, he had just said this in front of Yan Shifan.

"Damn, who brought this sentence to His Majesty's ears!"

Yan Song thought so, and the disgust for Kong Shangxian in his heart went to a higher level, and at this moment, he couldn't help but start to regret it.

"Alas, I knew that I shouldn't have coveted the status of the Kong family and married my granddaughter to that Kong Shangxian, otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble today!"

Just as Yan Song was so emotional, Jiajing's voice sounded again, pulling him back to reality.

"So, what do you two think, should I abolish the Holy Duke of Yan?"

When Yan Song and Xu Jie heard Jiajing's words, they both knew very well in their hearts that His Majesty's patience had been exhausted, and this was an ultimatum to themselves!

And, from the very beginning, His Majesty had already made up his mind to abolish the current Yan Sheng Gong and re-elect a new Yan Sheng Gong.

The reason why I called the two of them over was just to go through the motions, inform them, and prepare myself!

Thinking of this, Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces couldn't help but have bitter smiles.

After exchanging glances with each other, they saw Yan Song and Xu Jieqi kneeling on the ground, and after Yan Song finished sorting out the language in his mind, he looked at Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair and pleaded in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the sixty-fourth grandson of Confucius, and the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong Kong Shangxian, has not fulfilled his duties as Yan Sheng Gong, connived at his family, fish and flesh people, is not worthy of virtue, and has repeatedly violated the law, I ask Your Majesty to abolish it, and then elect a new Yan Sheng Gong at another date!"

Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw that Yan Song and Xu Jie had made the right choice, nodded imperceptibly, and immediately commanded.

"Well, you two, get up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's answer, Yan Song and Xu Jiefang slowly got up from the ground, and at this moment, their faces were full of panic.

Because the next foreseeable thing is that this incident will definitely shake the government and the opposition, and in the end, it will be the two of them who are unlucky.

Thinking of his reputation in Shilin that had already fallen to the bottom, he saw Yan Song sigh helplessly, and said to himself silently: "Alas, don't worry if there are more lice, no matter what, let's take care of the present first!" ”

Seeing that the matter had settled, Jiajing glanced at the two of them, and immediately commanded.

"Okay, now that the matter has been decided, you two, go back and get busy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song and Xu Jie were stunned for a moment before they reacted and hurriedly responded.

As soon as the two of them took a few steps, Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember something, and stopped the two of them.

"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you, Yan Shenggong should already be on his way to the capital at present!"

When Yan Song and Xu Jie heard this, they suddenly paused, and in an instant, when they turned around, they both saw a thick look of shock on each other's faces.

After a while, I saw the two of them react, leaned down, and saluted Jiajing respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen understands!"

"Hmm."

After that, the two did not hesitate at all, and immediately took a step and left the Qianqing Palace.

After walking out of the Qianqing Palace one after another, Yan Song and Xu Jie subconsciously turned around and glanced back at the Qianqing Palace behind them, with a palpitating expression on their faces.

Originally, they thought that His Majesty came to him early in the morning to discuss the use of the 80 million taels of silver that was about to be credited, but no one expected that His Majesty would actually mention to them the abolition of the Yan Sheng Gong in person!

And judging from His Majesty's current attitude, this matter is already a certainty, and there is absolutely no possibility of change!

Then, after clearing his throat, Yan Song turned his gaze to Xu Jie on the side, and took the lead in provoking the topic: "Ahem, Elder Xu Ge, do you think Your Majesty will really abolish the Holy Duke of Yan?" ”

When Xu Jie heard Yan Song's words, he glanced at him quite strangely, and replied without thinking.

"This is natural, as long as His Majesty decides to do something, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are in the middle, he will not be able to resist his pace!"

"This is true of the lifting of the sea ban, and the reduction of clan expenditures and the implementation of the integrated payment of grain by officials and gentry are even more so, Yan Ge Lao, could it be that after so many years, you still haven't figured out Your Majesty's temper?"

Xu Jie's words fell, Yan Song couldn't help but fall into deep thought, in his opinion, what Xu Jie said was not unreasonable.

"Alas, it seems that the abolition of the Holy Duke of Yan will soon be on the agenda!"

Yan Song thought so, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart, and after that, he saw him come back to his senses, walk in front of himself, and march in the direction where the cabinet is located.

And Xu Jie looked at Yan Song's departing back, his face was full of schadenfreude, and after retracting his gaze, he muttered to himself silently.

"Hmph, Yan Song, I want to see how you passed this level!"

Thinking so, Xu Jie immediately followed Yan Song's pace in three steps and two steps, and when he walked in front of Yan Song, a smile appeared on his face and he proposed to Yan Song.

"Elder Yan Ge, let's think about it first, how much silver it will cost to repair and reinforce those old embankments!"

……

After Yan Song and Xu Jie returned to the cabinet, they looked as usual and began to deal with the affairs at hand.

But Yan Shifan was still keenly aware of the wrongness behind this, because since Yan Song came back from the Qianqing Palace, the whole person was in an absent-minded state, and when he reviewed and reviewed the music, he also made several mistakes in a row.

Although Yan Shifan was very curious about this, because he was in the cabinet right now, there were many people, so it was difficult to ask Yan Song for the specific reason.

Therefore, Yan Shifan had to suppress all the curiosity in his heart.

finally got to the time of the next duty, Yan Song, Yan Shifan, father and son, one step ahead of everyone else, left the cabinet.

The father and son walked together towards the place where the sedan chair was parked.

Along the way, Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song with a thoughtful look, and finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, mustered up the courage, and asked Yan Song cautiously.

"Father...... Father, is something wrong? ”

When Yan Song heard Yan Shifan's words, he immediately came back to his senses, but glanced at Yan Shifan quite calmly and said slowly.

"This is not the place to talk, go back and talk about it!"

"Yes, Father!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he couldn't help but pay attention to this matter, because in his impression, Yan Song had never shown such a solemn face.

Subsequently, the father and son got on a sedan chair and marched towards Yan's mansion.

……

On the other side, in the cabinet.

When Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong finished sorting out the processed notes, they saw Xu Jie waiting at the door.

Since the last time they were in Yuwang's Mansion, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong left in a bad mood because they couldn't accept Xu Jie's approach, and since then, they have never spoken to each other much, and their relationship has become very delicate.

Since that day, for a long time, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong have not been to Yuwang's Mansion again.

How could the two of them not see Xu Jie's intentions, and then, they saw Zhang Juzheng take a step forward, come to Xu Jie, and asked.

"Anyway, it's time to get off duty, and Elder Xu Ge still hasn't left?"

"I'm looking for you today because I need your help!"

Facing Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong's puzzled eyes, Xu Jie finished sorting out the language in his mind before he explained unhurriedly.

"Don't worry, it's not the previous incident, anyway, when Yan Song and I go to the Qianqing Palace today, Your Majesty will ......"

It's the last day, can the readers' grandfathers give me a monthly pass? O_o
