Just as Yan Song was still having a headache for Kong Shangxian, the contemporary Yan Shenggong who was about to arrive in the capital soon.

When night fell, in the study of King Yu's mansion.

I saw Zhu Zaikun silently, glancing over the high arch on the side and Zhang Juzheng's body respectively, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the last time, in the study of Yuwang Mansion, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng left in anger because they did not agree with Xu Jie's approach, they have not come to Yuwang Mansion again for a long time to discuss strategies against the Yan Party.

On the one hand, he was worried that the two sides would break up and would not be able to work together to deal with the Yan Party, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Yan Party would take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

Now, seeing that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng came to Yuwang's Mansion again to discuss the next strategy to deal with the Yan Party, the stone that Zhu Zaikun had been hanging in his heart finally landed safely.

"Huh~ Fortunately, the teacher and Zhang Juzheng are both people who understand righteousness, at least they did not give up the cause of Yan because of some differences of opinion, only by overthrowing the Yan Party, can my Ming Dynasty prosper again!"

Zhu Zaikun thought so, and immediately picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

At this moment, Xu Jie, after looking around, immediately asked.

"Ahem, as I said before, when Yan Song and I went to meet Your Majesty today, Your Majesty handed me the errand of allocating land, do you have any thoughts on this?"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Gao Gong on the side stood up and added.

"Not long ago, Hai Rui, who was sent by the imperial court to Shandong to investigate the case, confiscated a total of 83,265,290 taels of silver from those families, and in addition, there were 365,600 acres of land!"

"And we want to distribute these 360,000 acres of land to the local people who have no land, this is a big project, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the slightest carelessness is easy to breed trouble!"

Behind the high arch, Zhang Juzheng on the side thought for a while, and then stood up and added.

"This time, however, the amount of land that needs to be allocated to the people has increased dramatically compared to before."

"But in the final analysis, the situation faced by Fujian and Shandong is very different, but this time the manpower and material resources required, and the complexity of things has increased compared with before!"

When Zhang Juzheng said this, he looked at Xu Jie, who was on the side, and then put forward his own suggestion.

"The officials who were sent to Fujian last time to assist Tan Lun in distributing land have accumulated rich experience in the process, and I propose that they be sent to Shandong this time!"

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's proposal, Xu Jie also quite agreed, and immediately responded.

"Well, that makes sense, I remember that there seemed to be an official last time who performed very well in this process, it seems to be called Song Yiwang, right?"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, the high arch on the side followed closely in response.

"Well, that's right, that official's name is Song Yiwang, and he is currently serving as the judge of Yiling Prefecture!"

When Zhu Zaikun on the side heard this, his face was full of surprise, and he turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and asked.

"Why is such an official with such outstanding ability still a small Yiling Prefecture judge?"

Zhu Zaikun's voice fell, and after thinking about it for a long time, Xu Jie immediately responded: "This Song Yiwang was disliked by Yan Song because of his earlier impeachment of Hu Zongxian and Ruan Yi, and was later deposed as the judge of Yiling Prefecture!" ”

"And the current official secretary is Yan Shifan, how can he Song Yiwang come out?"

After listening to Xu Jie's explanation, Zhu Zaikun was immediately furious, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"The Yan Party is really a disaster for the country and the people, a talented and ambitious official like Song Yiwang was wantonly beaten and oppressed by Yan Song just because he offended Yan Song, and he was not reused for a long time!"

"A cancer like Yan Dang should be removed as soon as possible, only in this way can I return a bright future to the Ming Dynasty!"

Just as Zhu Zaikun was making a generous statement, he didn't notice the disappointment that flashed in Gao Gong's eyes.

In Gao Gong's view, he, a once modest and studious and kind-hearted student, has completely changed, and has become a strange appearance that he no longer knows.

Now he is only thinking about bringing down the Yan Party, and as for what price he needs to pay in the middle, he has never thought about it.

At this moment, Gao Gong's mind suddenly echoed, and a sentence that Zhang Juzheng once said to him: "He is not a qualified prince at all, and even he's not a qualified prince!" ”

Gao Gong suddenly felt that what Zhang Juzheng said was right.

As a prince, you should learn how to govern the country, be good at turning every power above the court into your own use, and do not be able to be happy and angry, and should not listen to partiality.

Gao Gong couldn't understand how His Majesty, who was so wise and martial, could have such a son as His Royal Highness King Yu.

Everyone knows that Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son are traitors, allowing their subordinates to be greedy for ink and preying on the people, but His Majesty can suppress Yan Song into obedience, turn the power of the entire Yan Party into his own use, and make him willing to be driven by himself.

Whether it was the reduction of clan expenses at the beginning, or the implementation of the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, Yan Song acted as Jiajing's pawn and bore the most infamy, in the end, His Majesty did not spend too much effort, and easily achieved his goal.

In Gao Gong's opinion, His Majesty must have had high hopes for His Royal Highness King Yu at the beginning, otherwise, he would not let himself and Xu Jie go to teach His Royal Highness King Yu the way of governing the country.

But the result is very obvious, His Royal Highness King Yu, let His Majesty down.

As a result, His Majesty poured all his efforts into the child in the belly of the imperial concubine Shen, and Gao Gong felt that the child in the belly of the imperial concubine Shen in the future would definitely become the next prince of the Ming Dynasty!

But now, under the hard work of His Majesty, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and the entire Ming Dynasty has also begun to have a trend of prosperity.

"Your Majesty, you must hold on for a few more years, the trend of my Ming Zhongxing must not be interrupted here!"

At this moment, Xu Jie's voice sounded in Gao Gong's ears, pulling him back to reality.

"In this case, the matter has been decided, and Song Yiwang will be in charge of this matter at that time, and when this matter is over, he will be able to logically raise his official position to a higher level, do you have any opinions on this?"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, after looking around, he waited for everyone's opinions.

"I think Song Yiwang is a good candidate!"

"Well, yes, that's it!"

"I'm okay with that!"

Seeing that no one raised any objections to this, Xu Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then, seeing him cough lightly twice, after attracting everyone's attention to himself, he spoke unhurriedly.

"It's not a secret, when Your Majesty called me and Yan Song to the Qianqing Palace today, in addition to ordering this matter, there was another big event!"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to respond, he continued next.

"Your Majesty intends to abolish the current Yan Sheng Gong and elect a new Yan Sheng Gong at a later date!"

"What, Your Majesty wants to abolish the Holy Prince!"

After this, there was a dead silence in the study, and no one spoke.

At this moment, except for Xu Jie, everyone else in the study was shocked because of Xu Jie's news, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Among those people, Zhu Zaikun's impact was particularly serious, at this moment, I saw that his face was pale, trembling all over, and his hands were extremely the seat, because he was too hard, causing his knuckles to be a little white.

Then, I saw him turn his gaze to Xu Jie, and confirmed to him in a trembling voice.

"Elder Xu Ge, what you just said, are they all true?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie nodded quite firmly, and responded without thinking.

"Your Highness, you heard it right, Your Majesty really intends to abolish the Contemporary Yan Holy Prince!"

Xu Jie's words, there is no doubt that the last trace of luck in Zhu Zaikun's heart was broken, and he couldn't understand why his father would risk the turmoil of the court situation to carry out this matter.

You must know that Yan Shenggong has an extremely lofty status in the hearts of the world's readers, and his father's move is simply perverse, and I am afraid that it will chill the world's scholars when the time comes!

Thinking so, Zhu Zaikun immediately stood up, and after looking around, he said in a deep voice.

"No, no, there is no precedent for the abolition of Yan Shenggong in all dynasties, and it is absolutely impossible to do this, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the court at that time, I will go to meet my father tomorrow and persuade him to take back his life!"

After listening to Zhu Zaikun's words, Xu Jie's pupils contracted suddenly, and he immediately leaned down and admonished.

"Your Highness, by all means, besides, this matter has already been decided by Your Majesty, and your going will not only have no effect, but will incur Your Majesty's disgust!"

After Xu Jie, Gao Gong on the side also stood up and exhorted him.

"Your Highness, Elder Xu Ge is right, since Your Majesty has already decided on this matter, it means that there is no room for change, even if you go over, it will be useless!"

At this moment, Gao Gong really hoped that Zhu Zaikun would listen to his words and not get involved in this matter, because he could vaguely guess that His Majesty wanted to do something by abolishing the Yan Holy Prince.

The political whirlpool behind this is something that no one dares to involve lightly, but right now, Zhu Zaikun wants to jump into this whirlpool without hesitation, Gao Gong, as his teacher, definitely does not want to see such a situation happen.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Juzheng on the side also followed the steps of Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and admonished a few words without pain.

For Zhang Juzheng, what Zhu Zaikun did next had nothing to do with him, and even in Zhang Juzheng's heart, he vaguely hoped that Zhu Zaikun would be able to meet His Majesty!

In this way, he Zhu Zaikun will be disgusted by His Majesty, and when the time comes, he may not even have the opportunity to stay in the capital.

In the end, he could only go to the fiefdom to become a vassal like King Jing, and he could no longer set foot in the capital, completely losing hope of turning the tables!

Rao made everyone admonish hard, but he couldn't persuade Zhu Zaikun to change his mind, and then, I saw him facing everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Confucius has a cloud, he knows what he can't do, since this matter is wrong, even if it is at the risk of angering my father, I will do it!"

"You don't need to persuade anymore, I'll go and see Your Majesty tomorrow!"

Seeing that Zhu Zaikun had already made up his mind, everyone knew that there was no point in continuing to persuade hard.

Subsequently, he could only discuss with Zhu Zaikun and meet Jiajing tomorrow.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jie turned his gaze to Zhu Zaikun and said.

"Your Highness, when you meet Your Majesty tomorrow, try to mention your child as much as possible, Your Majesty is very fond of your child, and at the 100-day banquet not long ago, he personally gave a longevity lock!"

"Thank you Elder Xu Ge for reminding me, Lone will pay attention to this tomorrow!"

Zhu Zaikun was very convinced by Xu Jie's words, and responded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Gao Gong's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom, but soon, this gloom disappeared completely.

After that, I saw Gao Gong finish sorting out the words in his mind, and then he looked at Zhu Zaikun and turned to speak.

"Your Highness, you must pay more attention tomorrow......"

……

Gradually, as the night wore on, seeing that the matters that needed to be paid attention to had been discussed, everyone got up from their seats and said goodbye to Zhu Zaikun.

On the way out of Yuwang's Mansion, Gao Gong seemed to feel something, raised his head, and looked at the night in the sky.

The night sky is dotted with stars, and a cool breeze blows from time to time, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Seeing this, Gao Gong sighed helplessly, and immediately quickened his pace and left Yuwang's Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of Yuwang's Mansion, Gao Gong bumped into Zhang Juzheng head-on, and Xu Jie had already left in a sedan chair.

Zhang Juzheng saw Gao Gong coming out of Yuwang's Mansion, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted him respectfully.

"Gao Ge Lao!"

After Gao Gong replied imperceptibly, he turned his gaze to Zhang Juzheng, his face full of doubt.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't mean to hide it, but nodded and admitted it very generously.

"Well, that's right, Gao Ge Lao, the reason why I'm waiting for you here is that I have a few words I want to tell you!"

Hearing this, Gao Gong couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately spoke.

"It's not too early, if you have anything to say, let's say it now!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he made a gesture of invitation to Gao Gong, and immediately, the two came to a secluded place.

After that, I saw Zhang Juzheng pause suddenly, turned around, and asked Gao Gong.

"Elder Gao Ge, do you think that His Royal Highness King Yu will be able to persuade His Majesty to take back his order tomorrow?"

Gao Gong heard Zhang Juzheng's words, shook his head, and responded without thinking: "There is absolutely no possibility, but whatever Your Majesty wants to do, no one can stop it, even if His Royal Highness King Yu is His Majesty's son!" ”

Zhang Juzheng was deeply impressed by Gao Gong's words, nodded, and immediately responded.

"Well, it seems that Gao Ge Lao is the same as I thought, His Royal Highness King Yu, there is no possibility of convincing Your Majesty tomorrow!"

At this moment, Gao Gong was a little confused about Zhang Juzheng's purpose, and the whole person couldn't help but become impatient.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't grind here!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he withdrew his gaze from Gao Gong's body and continued.

"My idea is whether I can use this matter to let His Royal Highness King Yu go to the fiefdom like King Jing to become a vassal domain, so that I can stay away from the political whirlpool of the capital."

"In the future, His Royal Highness King Yu will be able to be an idle prince with peace of mind, and live this life in wealth and leisure, Gao Ge Lao, what do you think?"

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's proposal, Gao Gong's breathing couldn't help but become short, there is no doubt that Zhang Juzheng's proposal is very attractive to Gao Gong.

Gao Gong, as Zhu Zaikun's teacher, really doesn't want to see that Zhu Zaikun will end up tragically because he is involved in the political whirlpool of the capital!

Looking at Gao Gong, who was deep in thought, Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for his response.

After a long time, I saw Gao Gong come back to his senses, his face showed unbearable expression, and he immediately spoke.

"Let's talk about this matter later, no matter how much I say it, I am also the teacher of His Royal Highness King Yu, I really can't do it!"

Zhang Juzheng saw that Gao Gong rejected his proposal, and his face did not show the slightest look of chagrin, but withdrew his gaze from Gao Gong's body and said slowly.

"Well, Gao Ge Lao, I can understand your feelings, it's not too early, I'll leave first!"

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he saluted Gao Gong, and then turned around and left without looking back.

Gao Gong looked at Zhang Juzheng's departing figure, was silent for a long time, and after sighing, he left in a sedan chair. (End of chapter)
