Xu Jie thought about it all night, and finally let him come up with a solution, that is, Hu Zongxian's dereliction of duty.

If Hu Zongxian can destroy the pirates, all this is not a problem, the tariff will not be less than a copper plate, and the Xu family will also make a lot of money.

Therefore, the next day, he began to gather his envoys and asked them to go back and write a recital to impeach Hu Zongxian.

The next day.

The impeachment of Hu Zongxian was sent to the cabinet like snowflakes, and the Xu family took these pieces to meet Emperor Jiajing.

Cabinet.

Gao Gong looked at Xu Jie's back and frowned tightly.

If you want to say that this high arch, you still have the ability, and you can be regarded as an honest official. However, his flaws are also obvious today, he does not have many eyes and ears, and he is not well-informed. Although I also have some understanding of the affairs of the Southeast City, I only know the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, it was really a little inexplicable that he suddenly saw so many excerpts of impeachment of Hu Zongxian. Only depressed let people go to inquire about the news, and he sat in the cabinet and waited for the news.

However, he didn't have to wait long, and Suncheon Fu Yin came in a hurry. With a look of embarrassment, he held a stack of papers in his hand. Gao Gong looked at the paper-like papers, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"Are those people true?"

"It's true!" Shuntianfu Yin is a person from Gao Gong, and after he received these papers today, his eyes lit up, which directly grabbed Xu Jie's handle, with these papers, he would definitely improve in Gao Gong's heart, so he immediately asked the officials to protect those who complained, and came to Gao Gong in a hurry.

Gao Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, grabbed the stack of paper and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet the driver." ”

Shuntianfu Yin was happy in his heart, looking at Gao Gong's surprised look, his own contribution should be not small. It's just that his vision is not so high, and he doesn't think so far, he just thinks that this has grabbed a handle from Xu Jie, but this handle obviously can't pull Xu Jie, why is Gao Gong so surprised?

On the way to follow Gao Gong towards Yuxi Palace, looking at Gao Gong happy, Shuntianfu Yin said:

"Elder Gao Ge, I'm afraid this matter is harmless to Xu Jie, right? At most, he was reprimanded by His Majesty. ”

"You know what?" Gao Gong scolded in a low voice: "This is not simple corruption, nor is it a simple bullying and domination. This is going to affect the customs duties of the city. Just imagine, the Xu family can take it by one trick, but can it continue like this? Without the object of stealing, they will have no source of goods, and without a source of goods, they will not be able to trade with the merchants of the vassal country, and if they do not trade with the merchants of the vassal country, the city will not be able to collect tariffs, and without tariffs, what will be the situation of the Ming Dynasty, think about it yourself? What kind of attitude will Your Majesty have, think for yourself? ”

Shuntianfu Yin's expression was stunned, Gao Gong patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to think more in the future, otherwise how can you fit into a higher position!" ”

"Higher position......" Shuntianfu Yin was ecstatic in his heart: "Am I going to be promoted?" ”

All the way to the end of the smile, until he came to the outside of Yuxi Palace, Gao Gong asked him to wait outside, and he went in alone to meet Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing's health was still not good, and he was sitting on the chair with a tired face at this time, listening to what Xu Jie said. Listening to Xu Jie's impeachment of Hu Zongxian, Emperor Jiajing's eyes showed a cold color, and at the same time, there was a faint look of anger.

He was indeed angry.

Anger 1: He gave Xu Jie's cabinet the position of first assistant, but Xu Jie connived at his son's clever robbery, broke the rules, and made the city department into a miasma.

Anger 2: Hu Zongxian is extremely useless, if Hu Zongxian can exterminate those pirates, there will not be so much trouble.

Yes!

It's trouble!

In Emperor Jiajing's view, these are all troubles, if Hu Zongxian can defeat the pirates, it doesn't matter if his Xu family is corrupt or not, as long as he can collect the tariffs for him, he won't care about anything.

So his greatest anger is that these troubles have finally found him and let him solve them!

If he is allowed to solve everything as the emperor, what else do these ministers do?

Why did you promote Xu Jie to be the first assistant of the cabinet?

Co-authored you Xu Jie can only cause trouble, but can't solve problems?

So what do I want you for?

Do you really think I don't know anything? Impeaching Hu Zongxian to fool me?

And at this time, there was a eunuch who reported and asked for a meeting. Hearing Gao Gong's request to see, Xu Jie's heart jumped, and Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie's lightly, and then said:

"Xuan!"

Gao Gong walked into the Yuxi Palace and saluted Emperor Jiajing: "Minister, Gao Gong, meet Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me!" Gao Gong said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, look at this."

Huang Jin stepped forward and took the papers and put them on the imperial book case of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing picked up the papers and looked at them one by one, becoming more and more angry in his heart, and finally threw those papers at Xu Jie, shouting:

"See for yourself!"

Xu Jie was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, picked up those papers and looked at them one by one, the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down. Cardiogram:

"These people actually ran to the capital from the southeast to sue the emperor, and there are many of them, all the people who were snatched by the Xu family, as long as there are alive, they all came.

How is this possible?

Where did these people get the money to come to the capital?

Someone must have secretly organized and sent them to the capital. Who is it? Is it a high arch? Quite possibly.

But what do I do now? ”

"This is the first assistant of the cabinet I elected, hehe......" Emperor Jiajing sneered.

"The minister is guilty!" Xu Jie's five-body throw to the ground.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie coldly, inexplicably irritable in his heart. He really wanted to remove Xu Jie, but it was easy to remove Xu Jie, but there was no suitable person to replace him. Otherwise, let Gao Gong's family dominate, with Gao Gong's temperament, he will continue to trouble Emperor Jiajing, which is not the result that Emperor Jiajing wants. He took a deep breath and said:

"This matter was caused by your Xu family, you tell me, how to solve it?"

"The minister must try to solve it as soon as possible."

"How to fix it?"

"Minister......

Xu Jie stammered and couldn't make up his mind, if he had an idea, why would he impeach Hu Zongxian?

"Xuan Liu Shouyou!" Emperor Jiajing shouted in a condensed voice.

Xu Jie's heart trembled, Emperor Jiajing wouldn't let Jinyiwei arrest him, right?

Just when his frightened heart trembled, Liu Shouyou came in. Emperor Jiajing said coldly:

"Liu Shouyou, what's going on with the city's ship? You Jinyiwei should have similar information, right? ”

"Back to Your Majesty!" Liu Shouyou said calmly: "After Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing went to the southeast, the city division was conformist under Xu Shixing, and everything was running well. ”
