Yan Shifan is the kind of person who is desperate to make trouble, but his father Yan Song is eighty years old and is extremely cold at the height. He really doesn't want to make trouble anymore. He is thinking about how to retire and return home.

There were ruins of tiles and several extinguished wooden pillars, and there was still blue smoke. Emperor Jiajing stood in the distance with a ugly face. He was really a life-threatening offense to Zhurong. The three halls were burned by lightning two years ago. Tonight, Yongshou Palace was also burned.

Yan Song and Xu Jie on the side both breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiyuan was not the harem of the imperial city, otherwise it would burn...that something really happened!

But Emperor Jiajing was depressed because Yongshou Palace was his bedroom, not only his bedroom, but also a elixir room... Emperor Jiajing sometimes had a whim to refine elixirs by himself.

Lu Bing approached Emperor Jiajing and whispered: "Your Majesty, you have asked all the eunuchs and palace maids, you should not have intentionally set fire."

Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly. Of course, he knew that it was not intentional arson... Well, in a sense, it was also considered intentional arson.

Practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal does not mean being pure and having few desires... At least that's what Emperor Jiajing believes, it's not interesting to be a god!

In August last year, Emperor Jiajing fell in love with a palace maid. He was only thirteen years old and was extremely fond of him. He gave her half of the box of beads and was named the Birthday Concubine in October last year.

Thirteen years old, a child, I don’t know anything. What’s wrong with playing with fire notes? I actually lit a curtain. When Emperor Jiajing found something wrong, it was too late. The huge Yongshou Palace was burned by a fire!

The Jiajing Emperor had no shame to say it... Just kidding, if this was spread, Tieti would be the behavior of a foolish emperor.

If his legs and feet are not smooth, he will be burned to death, tsk, Emperor Jiajing will probably be able to compare with Duke Jing of Jin in the future... He will be burned to death when playing with fire on the bed with his concubines!

In fact, in unofficial history, there are many interesting stories about the death of Emperor Jiajing, and the strangest statement is a bit like tonight... In the 45th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing played house with his concubines and set fireworks in the tent, which caused a fire and burned Yude Palace. Not long after, Emperor Jiajing passed away, and the court officials regarded the unlucky concubine as the culprit.

"When will the Ministry of Works be completed when will the rebuilding of Yongshou Palace be completed?" Emperor Jiajing calculated that the alchemy room could not be placed in Wanshou Palace, but the Yongshou Palace should be rebuilt.

Yan Song's dark old eyes were turbid, "The Ministry of Works is rebuilding the three main halls, and there is not enough materials. Your Majesty can temporarily move to Nangong..."

Nangong is the so-called Chongzhi Hall. It is quite a small place and is suitable for living. The most important thing is that Shao Yuanjie practiced Taoism and elixirs in Nangong back then.

But Yan Song stopped before he finished speaking. Nangong was where Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen was under house arrest, which has always been a taboo in the palace.

Xu Jie's eyes lit up and went up to the front two steps: "Although the Ministry of Works is rebuilding the three halls, Zhenhai is in business, and overseas giant trees are endless. The remaining materials can be used to rebuild the Yongshou Palace, so that Tang Shunzhi, the prefect of Ningbo, will re-pick overseas giant trees to replenish them."

Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly and turned his head and said, "Zisheng, who is the leader?"

"If you choose a virtuous person, you will not avoid relatives. Your eldest son Xu Fan can take on this important task. If the Ministry of Works allocates remaining materials, it will be completed in March."

"Okay." Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves and said, "It will be completed within three months, and I will be grateful for one of his sons."

Xu Jie's hands were trembling a little, and he was so calm that he fell to the ground, "Thank you Your Majesty to be sincere."

Seeing Xu Jie leaving quickly, Emperor Jiajing repelled Lu Bing and slowly walked to Yan Song. His narrow eyes were full of suspicion. He did not believe that Yan Song, an old fox who had been rising and falling in the officialdom for decades, would accidentally say such outrageous words.

You should know that the government and the people, including Emperor Jiajing and Yan Song, knew that Yan Fenyi was willing to be charmed, so how could he blurt out such a taboo as Nangong?

"Your Majesty, Zisheng has the ability to take responsibility..."

"Is it the position of chief minister of the cabinet?" Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "Only, he is over 80 years old and is old, but he is quick-minded and does not allow young people."

Yan Song bowed tremblingly, "The old minister is old, I just hope to see the villagers again."

After a long period of silence, Emperor Jiajing left without a smile, Lu Bing, Huang Jin and the palace servants followed, leaving only the old Yan Song, who was still kneeling on the ground.

After half a century of official career, Yan Song was once unknown and willing to be poor. He once rose up and is still above ten thousand people, but he is really tired, really tired...

Now Yan Song is almost gone, and the destruction of the Yan Party is almost gone. Xu Jie is pressing step by step, but Emperor Jiajing refuses to let Yan Song retire.

Yan Song knew in his heart that the greatest hatred between him and Xu Jie was not the death of Xia Yan, nor Nie Bao dismissed from office, but the fact that he was over 70 years old but firmly grasped the position of chief minister of the cabinet, making it difficult for Xu Jie to go further for more than ten years.

As the second assistant to the cabinet, Xu Jie's career is close to the peak. As long as he takes another step, he can become the chief assistant to the cabinet that allows all officials to avoid the road, and Yan Song has become the stumbling block.

For Yan's family, Yan Song's active concession is very different from his old age and illness. The former may be able to make a living.

What Yan Song did tonight was actually trying to make a deal with Xu Jie in front of Emperor Jiajing... You let me go and my son, I dislike Your Majesty in this way and ordered him to retire.

Obviously, Emperor Jiajing saw through all this.

Of course, Xu Jie knew it very well.

"I have been in power for more than ten years. I only know how to charm the superiors and play power, suppress loyal and kind, eliminate dissidents, sell officials and make money, so that Altan in the north and Japanese disasters in the south, the people are living in poverty, and there is no rectification in the court!" Xu Jie's thin face seemed to emit light, "I see that things are defeated, but now I want to escape unstoppable?"

"Yan Donglou left Beijing, and the destruction of the Yan Party has been finalized." Lu Guangzu smiled and said, "When the master of the army becomes the chief minister, clarify the administration of the government, and recall the virtuous and demoted virtuous people, the court will inevitably change."

Zhang Juzheng whispered: "Dong Fen left his position and was still a Hanlin bachelor. Wu Peng retired, and Zhao Yuanzhi was still there, Ouyang Bijin, and his father-in-law still needs to be cautious. The son-in-law is afraid that this is Yan Song's plan to delay the army."

Xu Jie nodded slightly, "I have just asked someone to send some gifts to Yan's mansion to calm him down."

Xu Jie used a delaying strategy, just waiting to launch a fatal general attack... Originally, Xu Jie wanted to wait a little longer, but today's incident made him determined. He could see that Yan Song did mean to leave.

Xu Jie is willing to fulfill Yan Song, but only half of it... Just because you Yan Weizhong, I, Xu Jie, have not made any progress for more than ten years, because you Yan Weizhong, I, Xu Jie, have been described as a turtle with a head-shrinking. Let you escape unstoppable. How can I relieve my hatred!

"Where is Zhang Ziyi?" Xu Jie's eyes fell on Zhang Juzheng.

"All have been arranged." Zhang Juzheng respectfully took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it over.

Xu Jie looked carefully and sneered: "It turns out that his words are sharp."

"When will my father-in-law report?" Zhang Juzheng lowered his eyes slightly.

Xu Jie pondered for a moment before saying, "I will write a letter ten days later and expel it, but I will not mention the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice, and Yan Shifan."

Zhang Juzheng praised: "Yan Donglou returned to his hometown to observe filial piety, and this is not allowed to be impeached."

"As long as the division is suitable for one go, the rest is not worth worrying." Lu Guangzu hesitated for a while and said softly: "Although the Grand Secretary Kou Ouyang Renfu is suitable for his in-laws, he has strictly enforced laws and regulations, is honest and dedicated to the public, and has been resolutely tiring day and night, and has refused to the east building outside the door several times..."
