It was Emperor Jiajing who personally issued an order, and Liu knew the answer. He smiled bitterly and said, "I can still hold on with the help of Lord Qian. I don't know how the Xia family can wait for the day of enlightenment."

Qian Yuan was silent for a moment. In comparison, the Xia family was much worse than the Zeng family. Xia Yan was killed, his wife Su was exiled to Guangxi, and his first wife and four sons died young. His concubine Cui gave birth to his youngest son Xia Xiancheng and entrusted him to his family, but he passed away last year.

In other words, the only one of the Su family was exiled to Guangxi now. Qian Yuan sent a guard to visit Guangxi as early as the 35th year of Jiajing. However, the Su family, who was in their thirties, looked like an old man.

Listening to Qian Yuan’s narration, Liu couldn’t help but feel sad and asked Su’s father Su Gang again.

"I died of illness and died in prison ten years ago."

The room became quiet for a moment, and Qian Yuan thought in his heart. Speaking of Xia Yan, the Zeng Xian case was indeed an unjust case, but Yan Shifan was really good and forced to put his hat on it. Xia Yan and Zeng Xian couldn't even take it off.

The Su family is also from Huangyan County, Taizhou Prefecture. His father Su Gang made a living through business and was an old acquaintance with Zeng Xian's father. The Su family was originally Xia Yan's concubine, but he was later promoted to the right.

Zeng Xian's eldest son Zeng Chun was in the Imperial College at that time and had a close relationship with Su's father Su Gang... It was through this line that Yan Shifan connected Xia Yan and Zeng Xian together.

The cabinet chief minister and the general who held military power had too close contact, which was the root cause of Xia Yan's murder.

In this regard, Yan Shifan did not lie. Xia Yan and Zeng Xian showed obvious signs of alliance in both personal relationships and politics. Zeng Xian proposed to regain Hetao, and Xia Yan advocated for him in the court.

After a long period of silence, Liu clarified his emotions and said loudly: "This time, what's wrong with Lord Qian? You can make a decision in one word, and the Zeng family responded to everything."

"If someone comes here to visit, there is no need to avoid him." Qian Yuan said slowly: "Qian will take responsibility for the matter of Zhaoxue. At that time... Zhou Jiaxu, or Wang Yi will tell the old lady."

It was nothing more than a party struggle in the court... Liu responded without hesitation, "I know that all of them are arranged by Lord Qian."

Qian Yuan was a little surprised when the other party cooperated so much.

Liu looked directly at Qian Yuan's eyes and asked slowly: "Is Wang Huan's life or death?"

Qian Yuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He didn't expect that the old woman opposite would actually ask about Wang Huan.

"Half a year ago, Wang Huan kowtowed outside the door and said goodbye, never returning." Liu's old voice was filled with sorrow, "I asked Wang Yi... He shed tears without saying a word."

Qian Yuan didn't say anything, picked up the rough tea bowl and took a sip of the tea slowly.

"Two months ago, Chun'er accidentally entered the city and heard that Yan Fenyi, the chief minister of the cabinet, was robbed and killed in Jiangxi half a year ago." Liu fell to the ground, "I was grateful for my husband's deep grudge."

Qian Yuan did not return the gift this time, so he calmly accepted Liu's wife and said calmly: "It's just an exchange."

"I am willing to take a strange risk. Even if I do this great thing, it will be difficult to repay." Liu sighed and stood up, "I am afraid that the Zeng family will not be able to repay it in this life."

"No need to report it." Qian Yuan chuckled and said, "First, this matter has been passed by Wang Yi, second, Yan Shifan has the way to kill him, third, Zeng Gong's injustice is known to the government and the public."

Liu smiled bitterly, Yes, Zeng Xian's injustice is known to everyone in the world, but the exiled wife and children are not ignored. If it weren't for Qian Yuan's care, they wouldn't be able to stand it.

But Liu also understood one thing: once Yan Song and Yan Shifan died, the Yan Party collapsed, and I am afraid that those who are interested will come to visit us next... The young official in front of him also mentioned this point before.

Qian Yuan advised: "I heard Wang Yi mention it before that after Mr. Zeng Zhaoxue, the old lady intends to bring her two sons back..."

Speaking of this, deliberate footsteps sounded outside.

Qian Yuan frowned and turned his head, and saw Liang Sheng's figure through the window, "What's the matter?"

"Young Master, come to report to the capital."

With a creaking sound, Qian Yuan pushed the door out and saw the guards of Suiyuan behind Liang Sheng.

"Xu Hanlin's letter." The guard stepped forward and approached him and reported a few words softly.

Qian Yuan finished listening with a expressionless face, pondered for a moment and said, "I have been in Chenggu County for these days. If you have any questions, go directly to the county government office. If you have any secret matters, you will still pass on the secret message."

Seeing the guard retreating, Qian Yuan thought in his mind that the butterfly that had traveled through time... the storm was getting stronger and stronger, but in general, good things were rewarded with evil. Qi Jiguang formed the Qi family army in advance, Yan Song and Yan Shifan ascended to heaven early, and King Yu gave birth to his eldest son early, which were all favorable to the court.

But this time, it seems a bit crooked.

In the oral letter sent by Xu Wei, Xu Jie basically determined that he was the chief minister of the cabinet. Yan Song secretly sent all his family wealth to the Inner Transportation Deposit. Yang Bo, the Minister of War, was recalled to the capital, and Li Mo, the Minister of Rites, entered the cabinet as the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion. This was all expected or reasonable by Qian Yuan.

But there is only one that surprised Qian Yuan.

Gao Gong, the Minister of the Imperial College, also serves as the Minister of Rites.

Qian Yuan could almost imagine how Gao Gong looked ashen in private and scolded him... On the surface, this was promotion, but in fact it was suppression.

The reason is very simple. If the Chancellor, who came from the Hanlin Academy, wanted to join the cabinet and became a prime minister, he would definitely pass through the Zhanshi Mansion, but after the Zhanshi Mansion, he mainly took two paths.

One is to jump to the six ministers as the Minister of the Rotary Minister and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty. Maybe he had to go to Nanjing for a walk, and finally entered the cabinet as the Minister of Rites. Yan Song, Xu Jie and Wushan all took this path.

The second is to follow the Imperial College. The standard is to follow the Imperial College, the Minister of Taichang Temple, and then jump directly to the Minister of Rites and enter the cabinet. Lu Benhe Gao Gong in the original time and space took this path.

Now, Gao Gong has not been able to become the Minister of Rites, but serves as the Minister of Rites... This is the third rank, and the Minister of Taichang Temple is also the third rank. It seems to be a match, but in fact it is a suppression.

Qian Yuan couldn't help but murmured in his heart, what did Gao Gong do to cause such suppression from Emperor Jiajing?

Qian Zheng and Sun Jian in Suiyuan were also wondering about this problem, but Xu Wei saw some clues.

"I remember a few days ago, Uncle Shi mentioned that Gao Xin and Zheng summoned everyone to Prince Yu's Mansion." Xu Wei smiled and said, "I can't wait so much, I'm afraid I'm a taboo."

Qian Zheng didn't say anything, but Sun Jian lowered his voice and said, "I heard some news... It is rumored that the senator of the Imperial Hospital has been in Xiyuan recently?"

Xu Wei nodded slightly. This may be one of the reasons why Gao Gong was so anxious. If he could rush to become the Minister of Rites in the Jiajing Dynasty and King Yu ascended the throne, Gao Gong would naturally enter the cabinet immediately as a prime minister.

In fact, there is no need for Gao Gong to be so anxious... In the original time and space, after King Yu ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng was immediately promoted to the Minister of Rites, and was directly summoned into the cabinet by Emperor Longqing, the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion and the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Majors usually serve as ministers and ministers... In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng might be the only one.

After chatting for a few words, Sun Jian asked again: "Uncle Shi, I heard that Mr. Ouyang wrote another letter to request his retirement?"

"I have written a letter three times within five days. I heard that the cabinet has been handed over to the imperial court, but it has not yet been approved." Qian Zheng nodded and smiled and said, "It's not that Mr. Ji Quan may return to Beijing this time."

Sun Jian smiled bitterly, the Minister of Rites was vacant, and Gao Gong failed to take office. He spent several times in the two capitals and six ministries. The most qualified person was his father, Sun Sheng, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.
