Lin Haoran said goodbye to the tiger girl, and hurriedly entered the West Garden.

It's just that when he enters here, his heart is uneasy, and he always feels that a wave will surge. And he had a hunch that his little boat was very likely to be caught in this whirlpool.

Along the way, he didn't see anything unusual, the defenders and palace people were very calm, and even Zhang Bo, who loved gossip, still walked towards the outside of the palace without knowing it.

After returning to Wuyi Palace, Lin Haoran went directly to Yan Song's duty room.

Yan Song was already gray-haired, his eyesight was not as good as before, his head was very low, and the book was very close. It's just that he is very diligent and spends most of his time busy with political affairs.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yan Song glanced up at Lin Haoran and said softly, "What's the situation outside?" ”

Lin Haoran saluted respectfully, and then reported the latest developments of the incident: "The sect people later broke into the Ministry of Rites, but they raised the slogan of 'Qingjun side', and the Jinyi Guard subdued all their sect members, and Wu Shangshu also entered the palace to face the saint!" ”

Although Yan Song only asked him to go out and ask why the Zongren Mansion was besieged, he had the obligation to report the next situation, so that Yan Song could have more information so that he could calmly deal with the next problems.

No matter what Yan Song's character is, and how his son Yan Shifan is corrupt and perverts the law, since he is the Si Zhilang of the cabinet, he has the obligation to fulfill the duties of Si Zhilang.

What's more, he didn't have much hatred for Yan Song, but revealed a little respect for this diligent old Shoufu.

Yan Song continued to flip through the notebook on the public case, and said lightly: "Well, I know!" ”

Although his eyes were still in the notebook, his thoughts had already drifted to this incident of "sect rebellion", and his eyes swelled with a touch of melancholy, knowing that the saint was afraid that he was going to be angry.

Before he became an adult, he lived as a member of the sect, so he had a natural sense of closeness and identity to the group of sect members. It is exactly like this, even if the Holy Lord knows that the sect has too much rice, he has repeatedly failed to make this ruthless move.

It's just that these sect members are indeed lawless, and they even raised the banner of "Qingjun Side", which undoubtedly challenges the fragile and sensitive nerve of the saint. The Holy One is an extremely selfish person, and he will no longer care about those feelings.

But Wu Shan was too anxious, if he wanted to add fuel to the fire, this was actually not the best time, but it was very likely to ignite the fire.

Lin Haoran saw that Yan Song didn't continue to support him, so he arched his hand and said: "Elder Yan Ge, if there are no other orders, then the lower official will retire first!" ”

"Wait! Send these copies to the Holy One! Yan Song came back to his senses, pointed to the stack of recitals on the table, and commanded a little tiredly.

Lin Haoran picked up the notebook on the table, saluted again, and then left Yan Song's room. He was keenly aware that Yan Song's eyes revealed worry, which made him even more uneasy.

When he came out of the duty room, he happened to meet Feng Bao who came in in a hurry. The two exchanged glances, and Feng Bao entered Yan Song's duty room and said to Yan Song that the emperor had announced his visit.

Ay......

Lin Haoran immediately understood that Wu Shan had already stabbed the matter to the Ten Thousand Saints Palace, and a storm was coming.

And so it was, just earlier.

Jiajing, who was wearing a cyan robe, came out of the quiet room, took the handkerchief handed over by Huang Jin, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "The original intention of this Wu Shan's "Sect and Domain Regulations" is good, but he ...... Not a smart person after all! ”

"That's because the saint is too smart, so I think he's not smart! Wu Shangshu is a Tanhualang, and he is from the Hanlin Academy, which is a rare scholar in the Ming Dynasty! Huang Jin looked at Shengshang in a good mood, and also praised Wu Shandao.

"You too...... Not smart enough! Jiajing handed the handkerchief back and shook his head slightly.

"Slaves are really not smart! If it weren't for the master's gift, how could this celebrant palm print sit on the slave's turn! Huang Jin looked up at Jiajing, his eyes filled with tears.

This is Huang Jin's sincere words, he never thinks he is smart, at least not as good as his newly adopted godson Feng Bao. But he has a skill, that is, he is very good at acting, and tears can simply come.

The thick veil had been pulled up, and Xu Jie knelt outside, chanting long live.

"Aiqing is flat!" Jiajing walked towards the long case and raised his hand gently.

"Emperor Xie!" Xu Jie saluted, and then arched his hand and said: "The minister has just received the news that the sect has besieged the yamen of the Ministry of Rites after learning about the "Sect and Domain Regulations" drafted by Wu Shangshu, and please make it clear to the Holy Lord!" ”

"Elder Xu Ge, what do you think should be done?" Jiajing sat on the futon, opened a book on the case, frowned slightly, and asked lightly.

Although he had guessed that the sect would make trouble, he did not expect that they would dare to besiege the Ministry of Rites.

"The clansman is the emperor's clansman, and the blood is thicker than water, so it should be strong but also soft!" Xu Jie first made a contemplative gesture, and then arched his hand seriously.

"Uh, what is Aiqing's best plan?" Jiajing nodded slightly, holding the notebook and looking up at Xu Jiedao.

"I think! The Zongren should be suppressed to maintain the face of the imperial court, but Wu Shangshu's "Zong Fan Regulations" should be abolished! Xu Jie said loudly.

Jiajing sighed heavily, looking a little helpless, but more relieved.

Xu Jie's proposal was undoubtedly very much in line with his wishes, and he didn't want to use the knife against the sect. If the matter ends like this, although Da Ming's finances will not be alleviated, he will definitely win the support of the sect.

But at this time, a eunuch came in to report, saying that Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

"Xuan!"

Jiajing was relieved, but when he heard Wu Shan asking to see him, he was worried again.

He knew that Wu Shan was the vanguard of the reduction of the rice of the Zong Domain, and even though he repeatedly hinted at his desire not to reduce the rice of the Zong Domain, the "Regulations of the Sect and the Domain" drafted every time could not run this item.

Now that the sect members have surrounded the yamen of Wushan, they must have come to vent their bitterness, and they want to "force" him to punish the sect people.

Xu Jie was on the side, naturally seeing Jiajing's reaction, he couldn't help but strengthen his position in his heart. Regardless of whether Yan Song can be dragged down or not, this Wu Shan categorically cannot stay.

"Wechen has something important to report!" Wu Shan's face was solemn, and he solemnly saluted Emperor Jiajing.

Unlike ordinary officials, Wu Shan is quite official, and at this time, his body exudes a strong sense of integrity, his face is tightly tense, and his eyes are full of determination.

Jiajing hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Jie, who was on the side, interjected: "Wu Shangshu, about the fact that your Ministry of Rites was besieged by the sect people, I have just been given the Ming Sage!" ”

Wu Shan turned his head and glanced at Xu Jie, and then said loudly with a righteous face: "It is a small matter for the sect people to smash the yamen of my Ministry of Rites, but the banner is really a big rebellion!" ”

This "big rebellion", he aggravated his tone, and in terms of momentum, he completely gained the upper hand.

"What's the flag?" Xu Jie was unimpressed.

Wu Shan's words were bitten very correctly, and they sounded in the main hall of Wanshou Palace: "Qing! Monarch! Side! ”

As soon as these three words came out, the entire hall seemed to tremble.

Xu Jie, who was originally very disdainful, widened his eyes, and Emperor Jiajing, who was flipping through the book, also raised his head suddenly, even if it was Huang Jindi's "ah", and looked towards Wu Shan.
