Shuntian Prefecture, signed in the room.

Lin Ran, wearing a third-rank official uniform, was arranging the collection of grain. Although he was in the north of the city, he had been making an eye to the movements in the south of the city, trying to learn about the latest trends of the court as quickly as possible.

A servant who came from the south of the city hurried in and reported the latest news carefully.

"Xu Jie submitted a memorial to resign?"

Lin Ran immediately stopped the matter at hand and looked up in shock.

Although he knew that Xu Jie was already in trouble, Yan Song relied on his seniority to recommend Dong Wei as the imperial envoy, Xu Jie might be doomed this time. But he did not expect that Xu Jie would give up so simply.

"Yes, the south of the city has spread now. Master Xu has been staying at home today and has not been on duty in the palace!" Yang San came to report the news, answering very seriously.

"I understand, you go back first!"

Lin Ran was caught off guard by the news and finally came to react.

Yang San saluted respectfully and quietly turned around and retreated. Although he was a servant of the Yang family, he knew that this prefect Lin was the actual helmsman of the United Business Group, and his master obeyed his advice.

When Yang San left, Sun Jixiang said suspiciously: "Ge Lao Xu admits defeat so easily!"

"Xu Jie has endured it for so many years, and I also think he would not admit defeat so easily. I just don't know why he did this move!" Lin Ran picked up the ginseng tea and said in confusion.

Sun Jixiang frowned and analyzed: "But he is just asking for resignation now, which is indirectly admitting that his son is the real murderer of Yantian. This has fallen into the inferiority!"

"Let's not guess here, or Xu Jie really admits defeat, or maybe he has thought of some way, let's just wait and see!" Lin Ran took a sip of ginseng tea, but said in a broad sense.

What he wants now is not who wins and loses, but he hopes that the Yan Party and Xu Party will fight, and the more intense the two sides will fight, the better, so that he can have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

If the emperor agrees, he will pack up his bags and go home.

Of course, the emperor usually issued an order to keep it, while the officials would insist on submitting memorials and resigning, and finally, after the third time, the emperor would allow the officials to leave.

Xu Mansion, in the study.

After Xu Jie handed over his resignation, he stayed at home.

Chen Hong came over in person, walked into the study and saw Xu Jie who was about to kneel down and said, "Gei Xu, this is an oral order. You don't need to kneel down. The emperor asked you to come to the palace immediately to meet the saint!"

After learning that this was not an order to keep it, but to let Xu Jie enter the palace to meet the saint, Xu was immediately happy. His power came from his father. If his father fell, then he, the young minister of Dachang Temple, would have ended.

Xu Jie seemed to be in the ancient Jing Wubo and responded gently to Chen Hong: "Eunuch Chen, please wait for a while here. I will change my clothes and enter the palace with you!"

"Okay! Master Xu, please give me a favor!" Although Chen Hong and Xu Jie were not on the same boat, they took advantage of each other a lot. Naturally, they would not be too aggressive and raised their hands respectfully.

The housekeeper quickly brought the python robe. Xu Jie's brow frowned slightly and immediately ordered: "Take my official robe!"

"Ah...yes!" The housekeeper was surprised, but he still took the order honestly and left.

Xu Jie, wearing a first-rate official robe, gave people a very fresh feeling. He obviously lacked the transcendence given by the python robe, which vaguely showed his down-and-out moment.

Chen Hong looked patient after receiving the red envelope. He was slightly stunned when he saw Xu Jie wearing a first-class robe, but then raised his hand and said, "Gei Xu, please!"

"Eunuch Chen, please!" Xu Jie has never been an aggressive person. He has always shown himself in a friendly image. He also raised his hand enthusiastically and made a call.

Under Xu's worried gaze, the two got into the sedan chair and headed straight towards Xiyuan.

The deep palace road, the magnificent palace, and the buildings with painted beams and carved buildings. As they approached Wanshou Palace, they saw sika deer and two red rabbits leisurely enjoying the cool under the pine and cypress.

This time, when I returned to Xiyuan, although everything here was already very familiar, Xu Jie felt like he was a different life, and even felt that this was his last time here.

At the gate of Wanshou Palace, Chen Hong went in and reported his life first, and soon a little eunuch came out and led him into it.

"The sinners pay homage to the Emperor, long live my emperor!"

Xu Jie walked through the nave of Wanshou Palace and respectfully bowed to Jiajing who was cultivating Xuan in the quiet room.

Jiajing's face was thin, wearing a blue cotton sermon robe, sitting cross-legged on a golden futon, facing the statue of the ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, with his eyes slightly closed.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes that looked clear, but said lightly: "Sinner? Xu Aiqing, in this way, did Xu Kun really do such a bad thing?"

Huang Jin and Chen Hongdu were standing next to the red lacquer pillar, but they couldn't help but look at Xu Jie curiously. If his son really destroyed the dike and flooded the fields, even if the emperor really wanted to keep them, Xu Jie would still have to leave the capital in a walk.

Although Yan Song was notorious, he did not do anything that was grievances and angry. Therefore, the emperor was able to protect Yan Song wholeheartedly, which made Yan Song serve as the chief minister for twenty consecutive years.

Faced with this harsh inquiry, Xu Jie slowly shook his head and said, "As a father, I have not been able to teach Xu Kun at all times, but I also urge him to read the books of sages since I was a child! I am willing to guarantee my life that Xu Kun will never do such a conscience!"

Huh?

When Huang Jin and Chen Hong heard that Xu Jie dared to protect their lives, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing which Xu Jie sang. This memorial to resign, undoubtedly indirectly admitted that Xu Kun had committed evil deeds, but now standing in front of the emperor, Xu Jie firmly denied it.

"Then why did you resign? You even called yourself a criminal?" Jiajing couldn't help but turn his head curiously and looked at Xu Jie seriously and asked.

Xu Jie showed a look of pain on his face, and he seemed to be indescribable and faintly replied: "Please consider me that I have served you loyally for many years, and please allow me to surrender and return to the land, and the emperor will no longer pursue the destruction and flooding of the land!"

"After all the time, you are determined to protect your son!" Jiajing's face immediately darkened and he accused him severely.

Xu Jie suddenly panicked, immediately covered his heart with force, looking at Jiajing with loyalty and answered loudly: "I have a loyal heart that can be used to understand the sun and the moon, and I want to protect you, the emperor!"

"You mean to protect me?" Jiajing was confused and turned his head and asked in confusion.

Xu Jie suddenly stopped talking, but lowered his head slightly, and tears fell on the floor, which really told the world's grievances.
