Chapter 1189: The Storm is Coming
Hu Song and the others listened to Yan Shifan's rebellious words and deeds, and they added a little confidence in the action to bring down Yan Song.
Yan Shifan can be said to have been born with a golden key, and his temperament has always been arrogant, which is indeed the best breakthrough. In particular, the emperor's perception of Yan Shifan is average, which is more conducive to them making a big fuss about Yan Shifan.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, especially Xu Fan's eyes lit up. They don't seem to think as far as Zhang Juzheng thinks, thinking that as long as they can bring down Yan Song, this is the best strategy.
Xu Jie naturally saw that bringing down Yan Song would leave some hidden dangers, but this thrill made him unable to continue to wait, and planned to serve as the first assistant and slowly digest those unfavorable factors.
Next, Hu Song and others were "you say a word, I say a word," and soon reached the initial case.
In the past two days, they will try their best to spread some remarks that are unfavorable to Yan Shifan, and Zou Yinglong will directly impeach Yan Shifan when the time is ripe, thus bringing down Yan Song in one fell swoop.
The vanguard of Zou Yinglong's attack this time was always worried that he would become cannon fodder, but when he heard that the teacher would also participate, the pressure in his heart was greatly reduced.
Xu Jie looked at the results of the discussion with satisfaction, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said to Zou Yinglong with a straight face: "Yunqing, we will do our best to build momentum for you in the next two days, and you can't be sloppy about impeachment!" ”
"Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations! It's just that the student is stupid, please ask the teacher to make it clear, how to convict Yan Shifan? Zou Yinglong was like a well-behaved student, looking respectful and respectful.
Xu Jie held the teapot and flicked the tea lightly, if Zou Yinglong didn't ask like this, he was afraid that he would have to be replaced, and now he immediately gave a positive answer: "Yun Qing, you only need to give Yan Shifan two charges: corruption and perversion of the law and selling official positions." ”
"Teacher, do you have any evidence?" Zou Yinglong's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked seriously.
If you accuse Yan Shifan of being corrupt and perverting the law, there is naturally no problem, but when it comes to him selling official positions, he can't be trusted. As far as he knows, many officials were promoted by clinging to Yan Shifan, and then they continued to pay filial piety, which undoubtedly involved the controversy of chicken-and-egg and egg-and-chicken.
No matter which group has its own interests, and officials are naturally no exception, they are mainly divided into non-commissioned officers and personnel officers.
If a lifting officer is carried to the position of the six books, then the non-commissioned officers in the whole world are probably eager to kill this lifting officer, which has nothing to do with the ability of this lifting officer, but this lifting officer has already robbed them of the "territory" of entering the non-commissioned officers.
In the same way, if Yan Shifan simply assigns official positions with silver taels, he will undoubtedly become a public enemy of officialdom, and even trigger accusations from a large group of undesirable officials.
Although the officialdom has always hated the traitor, he needs to come up with some real evidence, otherwise his small supervision of the imperial history may be counterattacked by the Yan Party.
Xu Jie took a sip of tea, looked confident and raised his eyes: "Yan Shifan's corruption and perversion of the law, the saint has already known that it is better not to list the evidence than to list the evidence. As for selling the official mantle, this is to list some real evidence! ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Boren in the last seat and nodded lightly.
Chen Boren nodded lightly towards Xu Jie, reached into his sleeve and took out a piece of paper, handed it over, and said respectfully: "Lord Zou, please take a look!" ”
Zou Yinglong was confused and puzzled in his heart, so he took the paper from Chen Boren's hand, but when he opened the paper and saw the content on it, he couldn't help but gasp.
However, I saw that some data were clearly listed above: Zhiyuan, the head of the Criminal Department, was transferred to the Ministry of Officials for 12,000 taels, and Pan Hongye was transferred to the state for 2,200 taels, and a total of more than 20 people participated in the sale of officials.
Before Zou Yinglong could react, Xu Jie put down the teacup and advised: "Yunqing, as long as you deduct Yan Shifan's head according to these two charges, I believe that Yan Shifan will definitely be imprisoned!" ”
"Students obey!" Zou Yinglong's heart was full of bitterness, but he still respectfully saluted.
At this time, he realized that there was a difference between him and the teacher's demands. The teacher just hopes that Yan Shifan will be imprisoned, so as to drag Yan Song down, and then seek the throne of the first assistant.
is just from his point of view, but he hopes to directly put the Yan family's father and son to death.
After all, the Yan family father and son have been running the court for more than 20 years, and if the Yan family father and son cannot be put to death, he, the "culprit", will inevitably be liquidated afterwards.
The most important thing is that he didn't use the money for the project of the three major palaces, but instead made this traitor.
Although Yan Shifan did come forward to find a good place for some officials, and also accepted a lot of filial piety silver, it is really difficult to say whether it is a sale of official beards, after all, which official in the capital does not accept a little "Bing Jing".
Of course, the truth has never been important in officialdom, the main thing is whether the emperor believes it or not, and whether he really wants to cure Yan Shifan's crimes.
"Yun Qing, regarding the impeachment of the son, you have to discuss it with Taiyue more, and you must not make a mistake." Xu Jie was obviously not very relieved about Zou Yinglong, and admonished again.
"Students dare to disobey!" Zou Yinglong is a smart person, and he knows that this teacher has always been cautious, and he quietly agreed.
Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng on the other side, and said with a gentle smile: "Taiyue, you are the gatekeeper for Yun Qing, and you are bound to make excellence!" ”
"Students obey!" Zhang Juzheng had an extraordinary bearing, and responded with neither humility nor arrogance.
At the time of parting, Zou Yinglong took the initiative to talk to Zhang Juzheng and made an appointment to meet at the place and time.
Although Zou Yinglong is slightly older than Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng is a jinshi in Jiajing's twenty-fourth year, and he has taken the route of a minister, which is already a lot higher than him.
The capital can be described as a wave of unsettled, Xu Jie's troubles have just dissipated, and Yan Shifan suddenly became the object of public opinion in Beijing, and one crime after another was detained on his head.
Especially about the matter of him instructing the left deputy capital Yu Shi Dong Wei to leave Beijing, some people simply saw it with their own eyes, so that the people of the whole city knew that Yan Shifan was against the monarch's father.
"Competing with the master, Wang Jiefu (An Shi) is not enough!"
The scholars in the capital quickly believed this rumor and immediately condemned Yan Shifan's actions.
Many things are not on the surface, and the undercurrent is the key to victory or defeat. And these news are slowly spreading through the palace walls through various channels.
After avoiding Yan Song's fatal blow, Xu Dang resolutely wanted to take over the prelude to a new battle, and the capital was about to come again.
