Under the scorching sun, Xu Jie walked all the way back from Wanshou Palace. When I returned to the room, I found that not only my son Xu Fan was still lazy here, but also Yan Ne was here.

Yan Ne is a person from Changshu in the south of Zhili, a jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and was good at writing green words and was overmoved, and is now in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Although he has been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is different from Wu Shan, and still appears in the West Garden from time to time, and even writes a few green words from time to time to submit them to the emperor.

From an official with a pockmarked face to a high-ranking secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has the opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. Whether out of gratitude or for the sake of power, there was a reason for him to remain faithful to the Holy One and to support His monastic cause.

Because of the relationship between the two townspeople, the relationship between the two families has always been good. But I don't know if I received the news, or if I came to write a green word to please the emperor, Yan Ne was already sitting at the tea table and drinking tea slowly.

"Min Qing (Yan Ne's word) brother!"

Xu Jie came in and saw Yan Ne, and immediately gently saluted this fellow countryman.

Yan Ne was once excluded because of his pockmarked face, and only this fellow villager treated him kindly, so he has always maintained respect for Xu Jie, and now he is a political ally, so he immediately returned the salute gently.

Xu Jie was a little thirsty, but even when he sat down at the tea table, Xu Fan was indifferent, but Yan Ne took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Xu Jie.

"Dad, what did the emperor say to you?" Xu Fan watched his father sit down, and immediately asked anxiously.

Xu Jie didn't pay attention to his son, but took out the piece of music from his sleeve, and directly handed it to Yan Ne and said, "Brother Minqing (Yan Ne's words), take a look!" ”

Yan Ne gently put down the teapot and reached out to take it.

When he saw "Supervising the Imperial History Zhang Wei", his face immediately appeared solemn, and he knew that this was the kind of music that made the city full of wind and rain. After hurriedly opening it, the reading seemed very serious, as if he was afraid that he would miss a word.

Xu Fan was a curious person, so he leaned over for the first time, quickly read the content of the song, looked at Xu Jie suspiciously, and said, "Dad, isn't this the same as what we discussed?" Could it be that he eavesdropped on our conversation? ”

"Shut up!" Xu Jie was very annoyed by this son who couldn't support the wall, and immediately scolded. Not to mention that this is not the case, if this kind of thing is spread, it is obviously to arouse the suspicion of these people.

Xu Fan was reprimanded, obviously reaching out and touching his nose, but he took his father's scolding as a deaf ear, and still continued to inquire into these secret things.

Yan Ne put down the recital, thought seriously for a moment, and then said to Xu Jie with a smile: "Elder Xu Ge, the emperor handed over this piece of music to you, not to Elder Yan Ge, shouldn't the lower officials congratulate you?" ”

It is already obvious that if the emperor wants to protect the father and son of the Yan family, then this piece of music will naturally be handed over to Yan Song. It's just that this piece of music was given to Xu Jie, and there is no doubt that he has the idea of disposing of it.

"Brother Minqing, it's still too early to say! And you should have seen that Wu Yuejing's hand is not simple! Xu Jie's temperament has always been cautious, so naturally it is impossible to get carried away now, but reminded him meaningfully.

Yan Ne looked at the music in his hand, nodded lightly, and said, "That's true!" If Yan Ge Lao falls, the credit will probably be on his head Wu Yuejing, and he will probably be in the position of the leader of the Qingliu! ”

Unlike their courtiers who exchanged green words for favor, Wu Shan was the most orthodox minister, and he did not get overmoved, but slowly boiled all the way to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Whether it was last year's solar eclipse controversy or Geng Yan to the emperor at the beginning of this year, his various styles have been respected by scholars and Qingliu officials all over the world, and he is already the first person in Qingliu to be virtuous.

Although it is impossible to reap the benefits of entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister, Wu Shan's reputation will definitely be greatly improved, and I am afraid that he will be able to respond to every call in the future, and he will become a greater threat than Yuan Wei.

"At this point, there is no time to care! I plan to vote for the three legal divisions to investigate Yan Shifan! Xu Jie didn't want to make trouble, and still chose to focus all his energy on Yan Dang.

When Xu Fan heard this decision, he immediately complained: "Dad, Wan Cai of Dali Temple, Cai Yuncheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, or Zuodu Yushi, these are all people from the Yan Party, let them investigate Yan Shifan, how can they find out the problem!" ”

Yan Ne tasted tea silently, but smiled and did not speak.

Xu Jie looked at his son, and immediately said with a straight face: "Then how do you say how to vote, can you please come and check?" ”

"Then you can't let their own people check it!" Xu Fan raised his objection in a low voice, and suddenly proposed with an idea: "Dad, why don't we drag that kid into the water and let Shuntianfu investigate?" ”

If he could drag Lin Hao into the water, it would naturally be a good thing, but Xu Jie was not old and confused, and continued with a straight face: "The imperial court has the constitution of the imperial court!" If it weren't for the emperor's personal order, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Shuntian Mansion to investigate and deal with Yan Shifan's major case involving the first assistant! ”

It is true that although Shuntianfu is known as the Yamen of the Small Criminal Department, the targets are all major criminal cases of the common people. It's just a big case involving the bigwigs of the imperial court, either Dali Temple or the Three Law Divisions.

"Elder Xu Ge, it's better to have more than one thing now! The emperor actually wants Yan Ge Lao to step down, then let's do what he wants, if the Yan Party wants to give birth to moths, the board will definitely hit them! Yan Ne took a sip of tea and analyzed rationally.

Xu Jie nodded approvingly: "Not bad!" As long as we do our duty, no matter how unwilling Yan Shifan is, it is impossible for him to dare to do it against the emperor! If they dare to go against the emperor, this is a good thing! ”

In the end, there was hope in his eyes, as if he wanted this to happen. However, no matter how powerful the Yan Party is, it is impossible to contradict the will of the Holy One.

Xu Fan heard it in a fog, but he was still worried in his heart, feeling that the result of the Three Law Divisions would definitely not convict Yan Shifan, and their plan to take the opportunity to pull Yan Song down was going bankrupt.

"So we'll see what happens?" Yan Ne looked at the same as Xu Jie's point of view, and looked very happy.

Xu Jie shook his head lightly and said, "No, I'll have to go to the palace in a while!" ”

"Dad, where are you going?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

Although Yan Ne is an old fritter in officialdom, he is not the roundworm in Xu Jie's stomach after all, and he also looks at Xu Jie in confusion.

Xu Jie met the two curious glances, first took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "I'm going to Yanfu!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Ne and Xu Jie both showed surprised expressions. The two sides have obviously broken up, and there is a big war in the future, but Xu Jie is going to Yanfu at this time, which is really confusing.
