Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng was also silent.

If it weren't for his teacher's skillful response, once Yan Dang launched an investigation on the case of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, it was really hard to say what the outcome would be. Perhaps, their Xu Party really wants to ruin this matter, and his proud protégé will also be implicated and transferred to Nanjing.

While waiting is a good solution, there are risks involved. In particular, Yan Shifan has a lot of ghost ideas, but it is difficult to guarantee that other incidents will arise, thus bringing down his teacher.

The most important thing is that once Yan Shifan returns to the cabinet after the end of his observance, Yan Song will get a big boost, and I am afraid it will also prolong Yan Song's "life".

"Brother Zisheng, do you have any good plans?"

Hu Song had great respect for this fellow countryman and senior who had repeatedly saved his political life and brought him to the military department, and asked with great importance.

Zou Yinglong secretly swallowed his spit and looked up at Xu Jie, and found that his fate was still in the hands of the teacher after all.

Once this impeachment fails, he will become cannon fodder like Wu Shilai and others; And once he succeeds, he will be a great hero of the Xu Party, and his future will become limitless.

It's just that I don't know if this teacher can come up with a good plan to let him win this bet, so that he can rise to the top and seal his wife and son.

Xu Fan rarely was recognized by his father, but at this time, his eyes were bright and he looked at his father, eager that his father could come up with a way to bring down Yan Song, so that he could have the opportunity to become a "little pavilion elder".

Chen Boren was silent from beginning to end, drank tea silently, and secretly exchanged a meaningful look with Xu Jie.

Xu Jie had already made up his mind in his heart, looked at everyone and finally said slowly: "Taiyue is right, Yan Ge is always the face of the emperor, we can't try to tarnish Yan Ge Lao to let him step down!" ”

Hey?

Hu Song and the others couldn't help but be stunned, they thought that Xu Jie was going to use all his strength to directly engage Yan Song in a short fight, but their hopes were disappointed, and they didn't plan to attack Yan Song's old immortal.

Once Yan Song cannot be eliminated, it will not help at all to defeat one or two backbone members of the Yan Party. Whether it is Zhao Wenhua, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, or Wu Peng, the former secretary of the Ministry of Officials, they all fully explain this problem.

Xu Jie saw everyone's disappointment in his eyes, but continued: "Although we can't impeach Yan Ge Lao, we can impeach Yan Shifan, so as to implicate Yan Ge Lao from power. ”

"Brother Zisheng, this strategy is wonderful!" Hu Song didn't expect things to turn around, and his eyes shone in and agreed.

Compared with the direct impeachment of Yan Song, this impeachment of Yan Shifan is undoubtedly much more ingenious, and it will not involve the emperor's face, and the success rate is undoubtedly greatly increased.

Zou Yinglong's eyes also lit up, and his thoughts suddenly became clear. Although it is also aimed at Yan Song, directly impeaching Yan Song is undoubtedly a dead end, but impeaching Yan Shifan contains a lot of vitality.

Xu Fan was extremely concerned about the matter of overthrowing Yan Dang, and immediately offered advice: "Dad, Yan Shifan's thief is not a thing, he can be said to be a big fisher during his time in charge of the Ministry of Industry, especially the three major palace projects took at least 200,000 taels, let's impeach him for this matter!" ”

A natural fire in the 36th year of Jiajing banned and destroyed the first three halls of the Forbidden City, and also added a big burden to the Ming Dynasty's finances. The restoration project lasted five years, with a total of nearly 10 million taels of funds, and has only now entered the final stage.

It's just that such a huge project will naturally give birth to maggots, and it is inevitable that some officials will make money here, and Yan Shifan, as the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Industry, will inevitably take the opportunity to make a fortune.

If Yan Shifan's biggest crime is naturally that greedy face, taking money that does not belong to him.

Hu Song and the others listened to Xu Fan's proposal, and also nodded slightly, thinking that they could indeed start with the three major halls, so as to bring down Yan Shifan, and then force Yan Song to step down.

Xu Jie didn't even think about it, and immediately vetoed it categorically: "No! ”

"Dad, why is that?" Xu Fan looked up at his father in confusion, not understanding why he wanted to veto this best ironclad evidence.

Hu Song and the others were also puzzled, so they looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie faced everyone's gaze and took a sip of tea before explaining seriously: "The three major halls have always been in charge of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lei Li, which involves more than 100 officials, and there are also internal officials involved. If we expose this shortcoming, we will face a fierce battle and a scuffle. ”

When Hu Song and the others heard this analysis, they suddenly nodded in understanding.

Although Yan Shifan is very greedy, he never tries to eat alone, but eats in a pot with everyone. Whether it was a second-rank senior or a small eunuch who accompanied the overseer, he would pull them into the water one by one.

Once Xu Jie wants to overthrow Yan Shifan by exposing the corruption problems of the three major halls, not to mention how the Yan Party will react, I am afraid that there will be people within his Xu Party who will stand up against him.

In the current corrupt court, once they do the thing of "smashing the rice pot", Xu Jie may also face a lot of pressure.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the teacher, but he wanted to stop.

Compared with choosing to attack Yan Shifan, he hopes to bring down Yan Song in a dignified manner. Let the saint realize that the court under Yan Song's rule has long been terminally ill, and realize his mistake of reusing Yan Song, so as to carry out in-depth reforms of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the current teacher not only wants Yan Song to go into the field with dignity, but also doesn't want to clash head-on with Yan Dang, but he is bent on getting to the top and simply chasing the position of the first assistant.

But Zhang Juzheng fell into deep worry, can such a position of first assistant really bring great changes to this Ming Dynasty and restore the legacy of the Tang Dynasty?

"Brother Taiyue! Brother Taiyue! ”

When Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses, he found that Xu Fan was calling him softly, and he immediately lost his guilt.

Xu Fan pointed to Zou Yinglong, who was about to move next to him, and said to Zhang Juzheng with a smile: "Lord Zhang, my father knows that you are brilliant and wants you to guide Lord Zou's performance!" ”

Zhang Juzheng turned his head to look at Xu Jie, who had a gentle face, knowing that this was going to make him officially drip.

If this thing succeeds, he will naturally have a share of his credit; But if things fail, then he will definitely be hated by the Yan Party, and even become a victim of political struggle like Wu Shilai.

Zhang Juzheng knew that if he wanted to gain the absolute trust of the teacher, these efforts were still needed, so he said seriously: "The student obeys the order!" ”

"Since we have decided to impeach Yan Shifan, the work in advance is also essential!" Xu Jie seemed to be preparing, and said to everyone slowly.

Hu Song seemed very optimistic about the matter, and immediately responded: "Brother Zisheng, but according to orders? ”

"I'm afraid you don't know yet! Just a few days ago, Yan Shifan guessed that the Holy Father had the intention of stopping the investigation of the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields, and immediately urged Dong Wei to leave Beijing immediately, which was worthy of avoiding the palace people who summoned Dong Wei into the palace! Xu Jie glanced at Chen Boren meaningfully, and said softly to everyone.

Chen Boren, who had been silent, also suddenly spoke: "As far as this member knows! When Yan Shifan knew that He Jiu died in prison, he spoke wildly on the spot and said some disrespectful things!"

If Yan Song is an iron wall, then Yan Shifan is simply a piece of rotten wood, and it seems to be vulnerable.
