Xu Jie came to Wanshou Palace, and after reporting, he followed a little eunuch into the palace. He had actually been prepared for Jiajing's summons.

News from all parties has proved that the emperor lacked patience with the old Yan Song. Even though Yan Song made many achievements and the deepest friendship between the king and the ministers, Yan Song was still old after all.

It would be fine if it was just aging, but Yan Song no longer had enough energy to deal with the emperor's officials, and he could not make any decisions in case of problems. He was becoming more and more like a "waste".

Although this temptation was not from the hands of his disciple Zou Yinglong, but from Wushan disciple Zhang Wei, it was undoubtedly a test of the emperor's attitude for him.

Now the emperor has detained the memorial and has not thrown it to the cabinet, and has not been directly handed over to Yan Song as before. This represents the emperor's attitude, at least he is no longer favoring the Yan family father and son as before.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jie felt a little regretful.

If he had asked Zou Yinglong to act earlier and the emperor had the attitude of no longer defending the father and son of the Yan family, then he would undoubtedly be more optimistic at this time without worrying about the reaction of Zou Yinglong's memorial being sent to the emperor.

It was also a coincidence that if I had learned the news earlier, I could have stopped Zou Yinglong from submitting a memorial, but Zou Yinglong heard the news when he sent the memorial to the Tongzhengsi, but he couldn't stop it.

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

Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, came to the hall and respectfully saluted Jiajing, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk to review the memorials.

Because he was not in good health recently, the accumulated memorials have become popular, and Jiajing is dealing with various things. When he saw Xu Jie coming, he immediately said lightly: "Premium, give him a seat!"

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Huang Jin personally delivered the embroidery dormitory, and Xu Jie bowed respectfully again. Then he sat down at the bright yellow embroidery dormitory, and now he enjoyed the same treatment as Yan Song.

In fact, since Xu Jie advocated the reconstruction of Wanshou Palace, he received the attention of Jiajing. Whether it was titles or gifts, they were no longer the same as before.

Jiajing gave Huang Jin a wink and said straight to Xu Jie, "This is the memorial of the Censor Zhang Wei to impeach Yan Shifan. You can take a look first!"

"I obey the order!"

Xu Jie gave a serious gift and took the memorial from Huang Jin. Even though he read it carefully, he became more and more shocked when he read it.

If it weren't for the clearly written on the Censor Zhang Wei, he would have thought that this was from Zou Yinglong, who was instructed by him, and the content of this memorial was simply written according to his intentions.

"Yan Shifan, the Minister of Works, relies on his patriarchal power to be insatiable in patents. He has no choice but to reward his titles and rewards, and has caused bribes. He has corrupted the selection method and made public public practices. He competed for small people, and asked for a huge price..."

"Shifan gathered guests, hugged the beautiful girls, and sang happily. Today, the floods and droughts are frequent, and there are many policemen in the north and south. However, Yan Shifan was in a row and was punished every day. All the internal and external officials were exhausted and the people were covered with fat and paste, and the rivers and valleys were blocked. How can the people not be poor? How can the country not be sick? How can the disasters of heaven and man come? I ask that Shifan behead him and hang him in the market, thinking that the ministers are evil and unfaithful. If my words are incorrect, I will be willing to slaughter and kill him."

...

However, there are some differences here. This memorial is different from the rumors that it impeached the Yan family father and son. Zhang Wei just blindly denounced Yan Shifan's bad behavior and almost didn't mention Yan Song at all.

Of course, if Yan Shifan’s charges were confirmed, Yan Song would naturally be implicated.

Xu Jie knew very well that this memorial would not come from the hands of a small censor, but there must be guidance from experts behind it, and this person is most likely Wu Yuejing.

Suddenly, he found that he underestimated this book bag. This time he took action, he was quick, accurate and ruthless, and he was simply a politician of almost the same level as him.

But he didn't understand why Wu Shan attacked Yan Song. Although Yan Song had to pay a certain responsibility for Xia Yan's death, the order to behead Xia Yan was from the emperor, and both sides should not have such a great hatred.

Especially Yan Song stepped down, Wu Yuejing had just become the Minister of Revenue. There was no reason to enter the cabinet so quickly, and it was even more impossible to skip him and Yuan Wei and become the chief assistant.

"Xu Aiqing, do you feel embarrassed?" Jiajing saw Xu Jie's silence in his eyes, but asked with a smile.

Xu Jie immediately came to his senses and immediately said: "I don't have it! It's just a matter of great importance, and the matter may eventually involve Ge Lao Yan, so I dare not speak out!"

Jiajing's face darkened and he said sternly: "Xu Aiqing, what he is talking about is Yan Shifan now, it has nothing to do with Ge Lao Yan!"

As soon as this statement was made, it undoubtedly revealed a sense of open protection for Yan Song. Perhaps Yan Shifan was guilty, or Yan Song would step down because of this, but Yan Song was destined not to be imprisoned for the crime.

Although Xu Jie had long expected such a result, his eyes could not help but flashed with hope, but gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that during this year's mourning period, Yan Shifan often held banquets at home, drinking and having fun, which is indeed... unfilial!"

He no longer paid attention to how the emperor would view him. At this moment, he chose to put some eye drops and put Yan Shifan to death, thus dragging Yan Song into the quagmire.

"Xu Aiqing, can Yan Shifan be corrupt and abused the law or sold official positions?" Jiajing remained silent and immediately asked.

Xu Jie deserves to be an old fox, and immediately replied: "Although I have heard of it, there is no evidence. I also ask the emperor to order the officials to investigate and deal with it to repay the truth of the world!"

Huang Jin, standing next to the red lacquer pillar, looked at Xu Jie, knowing that this was an attack. Once Yan Shifan was investigated, it would release the emperor's attitude towards the Yan family's father and son to the outside world. Yan Shifan would probably be doomed by then.

"How can there be so many things in the world?" Jiajing seemed to have seen through it, but did not reject Xu Jie's proposal, but said lightly: "Xu Aiqing, please take Zhang Wei's memorial back and write a ticket!"

However, no matter what kind of order it is, it never comes from the emperor's decision. Instead, it is made by the cabinet and submitted to the award. Once an accident occurs, it is the emperor who is deceived by treacherous ministers, and everything has nothing to do with the emperor.

Now Zhang Wei's memorial was handed over to Xu Jie and he also explained his intentions clearly. If Xu Jie still didn't know how to vote, then he would have been in vain in the officialdom in the past few decades.

"I obey the order!"

Xu Jie took the memorial and looked respectful.

It was already afternoon outside when I left Wanshou Palace, but Xu Jie's face was not filled with joy.

Although the emperor's intentions have become increasingly obvious, he has obviously retained a strong friendship between the king and the subject against Yan Song. In this regard, with the Yan Party's power in the court, there is a chance to turn the tables.

The most important thing is that even if he really takes over Yan Song, once the Yan Party retaliates against him, and Yuan Wei, Wu Shan, Guo Pu and others are eyeing him, they may not be able to sit firmly in the position of the chief assistant.
