The next morning, the genius was slightly bright, and Xu Jie had already gotten up and washed up, but the news sent by the old housekeeper made him stunned, and the towel in his hand fell to the ground.

"Say it again... again!" Even though Xu Jie had been through the officialdom for a long time and had a lot of knowledge, he couldn't help but stutter.

The old butler was sweating profusely, obviously rushing back all the way, "Master, the villain came closer to see it, and the city was filled with pieces of tiles and ruins."

I originally thought it was just a small fire, but there have been too many fires in the palace over the years, but it has been so big... Xu Jie, who has always been steady, couldn't help swallowing, as if there was once many years ago.

In the 14th year of Yongle, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the construction of a Beijing palace. The next year, the palace was completed and Zhu Di officially moved the capital to Beijing in September of that year.

The palaces in the Forbidden City are naturally headed by the three main halls, Fengtian and Huagai, and the three main halls were not officially completed until the first day of the first lunar month of the 19th year of Yongle. However, only three months later, the three main halls were burned overnight due to thunder and fire. Many court officials linked this matter to Zhu Di's move to the capital.

As a result, a fire turned into a political incident. Zhu Di naturally would not admit his mistakes, forcibly suppressing court officials, and insisted on his own actions. But from this time on, the Ming Dynasty had the so-called two capitals, and Nanjing was still the capital, and Beijing was just "moving". Moreover, Zhu Di did not rebuild the three halls, but instead took the position of Fengtianmen to rule the government.

The three halls occupy a considerable area and are on the central axis of the palace. All the new Jinshi students in those years are dumbfounded. There is still such a large area of ​​ruins in the palace!

It was not until Zhu Di's great-grandson, Ming Yingzong, ascended the throne that the three halls were simply rebuilt. Although they were cut versions, they were thirty feet wide and fifteen feet deep, and they were exquisite and magnificent.

Now that I was ready, I was burned again. Xu Jie did not go to the palace to join in the fun and went straight to Xiyuan, but the news came soon.

This time was even worse than that in the Yongle period. In addition to the three halls, Zuoshun Gate, Youshun Gate, Fengtian Gate, inside and outside the house, Wen Tower and Wu Tower were all burned, and even Wenyuan Pavilion was almost burned. Qian Yuan's obsession with the "Yongle Encyclopedia" is here.

Inside the hut, Yan Song closed his eyes and said nothing. Yan Shifan stretched his face. The father and son ignored Xu Jie who came in.

They are all foxes for thousands of years... and once again they were fired due to lightning strikes. The three halls were burned again. It was just a trivial matter to place them on other buildings, but they were placed on the three halls... This was a political event.

This is called God's warning, the emperor... When he meets a softer emperor, he will be punished.

Of course, the censors in the court were not stupid, and they would definitely not point at Emperor Jiajing's nose and scold. The court stick decades ago made Emperor Jiajing famous and still today. It is not easy for everyone to make a living in Beijing, and there is no need to fight for life.

But even if Yan Song is powerful in the court, he will definitely not be able to do it, even if Xu Jie is added.

Therefore, those censors must have made some moves.

Impeach Yan Song?

Forget it, offending His Majesty but dismissed from office and offending Yan Song. Yang Jiaoshan is the precedent. Shen Lian, who was a few days ago, was said to have been imprisoned by Governor Xuanda... This is a deal reached by Yan Shifan and Xu Wei. Let Shen Lian not cause trouble again.

Impeach Xu Jie?

Forget it, Mr. Xu is already miserable enough this year. Besides, he has achieved great success in his magical skills, and you can't find any reason to find it.

Well, Hu Zongxian, who was crazily impeached by the Censor of the Court these days, has become a ready-made target. Anyway, you have been scolded like that... You don't care about being scolded a few more.

Generally speaking, unless it is an emergency memorial, the Tongzheng Department will submit the memorials received to the cabinet the next day, but today it is not possible. In just two hours, the Tongzheng Department has sent the third batch to the cabinet.

What is more popular is the impeachment of the Governor-General of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, tore up military salaries and to suppress the Japanese, which was unfavorable, and the Shangshu was slaughtered, and the heavens sent thunder to warn him... Is this a big deal?

Yan Shifan sneered and threw the memorial away. In fact, this was an impeachment that was unruly. God warned him that the one who should be impeached was Emperor Jiajing, and the other was the ruling Yuanfu Yan Song, who insisted on pulling it on Hu Zongxian... His eyes fell on Xu Jie.

Yan Shifan cannot be blamed for suspecting Xu Jie. In the eyes of many people, Hu Zongxian's military power in the six provinces was Yan Song's reliance on the court.

If you want to conquer Yan Song, you have to get rid of Hu Zongxian first... Li Mo thought so last year and did this.

Xu Jie smiled bitterly. In fact, after Peng An, Tu Dashan and Yang Yi, three of them, either abandoned the market, were imprisoned, or dismissed from office in the same year, he no longer had the ability to intervene in the war situation in the Southeast and was not ready to intervene.

After picking up a memorial and looking at it carefully, Xu Jie couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. The Censor impeached Hu Zongxian to suppress the Japanese and was unfavorable, and the Japanese pirates who impersonated the White Lotus Sect's name and used the White Lotus Sect to get rid of the blame... In fact, this was impossible. The White Lotus Sect's leader, Ma Zushi and more than ten leaders, were on their way to Beijing.

Yu Dayou was really lucky. If he hadn't followed Qian Yuan's advice and wholeheartedly captured the thief's leader, the blame would be... Not to mention whether Hu Zongxian would take it, but he would definitely have put Yu Dayou in the wrong.

After looking through it again, the latter was even more unsightly. Some impeached Hu Zongxian for embezzling military pay, some impeached Hu Zongxian for his sons in the southeast, some impeached Hu Zongxian to collude with the Japanese pirate Wang Zhi, and even some impeached Hu Zongxian to collude with Xu Hai...

One hour later, the back hall of Wanshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing kicked the high memorial away with one kick, and his long and narrow eyes were filled with suspicious eyes, and Xu Jie was spinning back and forth.

"How do you think that the ministers impeached Hu Ruzhen?"

The old Yan Song fell to the ground, "The old minister recommended Hu Ruzhen as the governor of Zhejiang, so he should avoid it."

The familiar recipe, the familiar taste... Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie speechlessly, raising his chin.

"I think it is not the Japanese pirates who robbed Min Rulin in Jiaxing Prefecture." Xu Jie said in a difficult but simple way: "Hu Ruzhen colluded with Xu Hai... is a fallacy."

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Jiajing laughed in anger, "This is the first and second auxiliary of the cabinet I have chosen!"

When Yan Song encountered such a thing, he naturally wanted to shrink his head, but Emperor Jiajing did not expect that Xu Jie also shrank his head.

Of course, it was not the Japanese pirates who killed Min Rulin, but the bandits of the White Lotus Sect. The court officials didn't know, but the Jinyiwei under Lu Bing had reported it to him long ago. Yan Song and Xu Jie were both aware of the situation, and Hu Zongxian colluded with Xu Hai... that was even more nonsense. Xu Jie's words were like he didn't say it.

Emperor Jiajing cursed in circles, and Yan Song and Xu Jie turned their heads slightly and looked at each other, and they were a little relieved... Xu Jie reported this to Emperor Jiajing to Yan Song, and the meaning was very obvious. This matter really has nothing to do with me.

At this time, Huang Jin suddenly approached Emperor Jiajing and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xu Wei is asking for a meeting."

"No." Emperor Jiajing scolded, but then waved his hand, "Let him come in."

Xu Wei quickly walked in, knelt down and bowed, saluted to the two cabinet bosses, and took out the letter from his arms, "Your Majesty, there is a letter in the southeast."

Emperor Jiajing sneered, "I can't see Qian Zhancai's hand, so let's talk."

"Shanyin Victory." Xu Wei said seriously: "On the seventh day of the third month, the Japanese pirates landed in Lihai, Shaoxing Prefecture. General Liu Xian was ambushed and retreated. Two thousand Japanese pirates attacked Shanyin and Kuaiji.

On the eighth day of March, Zhejiang Governor Hu Ruzhen urgently ordered Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng to lead troops to support Shaoxing, and to dispatch Yiwu to recruit new soldiers to train troops to go north to help each other.

On the tenth day of March, the Japanese pirates pushed down the Shanyin city wall and were about to be defeated. Qian Zhancai led the new soldiers to hurry outside the city. After two battles, hundreds of Japanese pirates were defeated. The gang general Liu Xian pursued and beheaded hundreds more."

"Is Zhan Cai again?" Emperor Jiajing's face relaxed, "He is everywhere!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Zhan Cai rushed from Jiaxing Prefecture to Xiaoshan. When the Japanese pirates cut off the Xixing Canal, Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng led his troops to fight. Zhan Cai went upstream to Puyang Town, personally led more than a thousand new soldiers to abandon their ships and walked quickly and rushed to Shanyin with 60 miles. The Qian family guards won the first battle and beheaded more than a hundred people, and the general Qi Jimei led a large army to attack, and then beheaded hundreds of them. The Japanese pirates collapsed."

Yan Song, who had been trying to pretend to be mute, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty is right to see people accurately. It's a pity that Qian Zhan is too young, otherwise he would be suitable for the governor of Zhejiang Zhi."

"Zhezhi Governor Hu Ruzhen dispatched troops and generals to protect Shanyin, Kuaiji was not lost, Zhejiang Governor Wu Weixi, Zhejiang Governor Qian Zhancai led his troops to defeat the enemy." Xu Jie also said with interest: "These three of them are all chosen by Your Majesty, and they will live up to your Majesty's expectations."

Xu Wei glanced out of the corner of his eyes, his face a little strange. Is the sun coming out from the west today?

Since Li Mo lost power last year, Yan Song and Xu Jie confrontation appeared again in the court. The situation of the court was mysterious and changeable, and undercurrents were surging. However, this year, the Yan Party of Beijing Cha was a big victory and Xu Jie was defeated.
Chapter completed!
