The two made up their minds and immediately walked into the gate of Yan's mansion together and followed Yan Nian to the cross-agency where Yan Song was.

In the yard, they saw several slaves building bamboo poles and hanging up pairs of calligraphy, paintings and drafts carefully, and resolutely wanted to dry them.

Wan Cai was more curious about things and couldn't help but take a look at them. Then he followed Cai Yuncheng into the study and looked to greet Yan Song who was lying on the bamboo chair.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yan Song said politely.

The two hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and Wancai was also a little casual in dealing with people and things, but asked: "Master Yuanfu, this is not yet Huangmeitian. Why did you take out the calligraphy, paintings and manuscripts to spread them?"

"Those are treasures that I can't let go. I have been a premier who has been a 20-year-old company and will be the first minister who has been there for 20 years!" Yan Song picked up the melody beside him and lit it up, and said in that hoarse voice.

The two of them were discussing persuading Yan Song at the door, but they didn't expect Yan Song to make up their minds. Wan Cai immediately stared at her eyes and said in surprise: "Master Yuan Fu, are you going to submit a memorial to resign?"

Cai Yuncheng, who had always been steady, was also secretly frightened and looked at Yan Song in confusion. He didn't understand why he admitted defeat so easily, so he had already planned to submit a memorial to resign.

But he still looked at Yan Song in silence, but he didn't know whether it was Yan Song's plan to retreat or whether he really made up his mind to withdraw from this court battle.

Yan Song was old but not confused. He had already figured out what they thought. He immediately looked at them sincerely and said, "I will not hide it from you, the emperor has issued a hand in hand today!"

As he said that, he gave Yan Hong a wink. Yan Hong was waiting by the side, nodded immediately, and handed the handwriting to them and asked them to check it out.

Cai Yuncheng and Wan Cai seemed to take the emperor's handwriting carefully, and looked at the contents carefully, and immediately felt like a basin of cold water was poured off the head.

If the emperor had not issued this handwritten order, they could still fight again to protect Yan Song's position as chief minister. But now that they have issued this handwritten order, if they have fought again, they would be against the emperor.

If they fight with Xu Jie, they still have a great chance of winning, but if they are with the emperor, they will only be bleeding.

"The emperor now issues this handwritten order. This time I submit a memorial to resign, and I will not be rejected again!" Yan Song saw the reactions of the two of them and said earnestly to them.

Wan Cai seemed very unwilling to accept this result, and immediately played the tragic card and said, "Master Yuanfu, you are here, what should we do?"

The Yan Party is already a huge organization. Although the penetration of the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate are relatively poor, most of the key points of the six ministries and corpses belong to their Yan Party.

Once Xu Jie becomes the chief minister, even if they are not subject to Yan Song's conspiracy, they will still be subject to a great purge by Xu Jie, and the Dali Temple Minister will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

"As long as you have not done anything bad and have not caught someone, Xu Zisheng will not do anything to you! As for the work of the outer city and the three halls, you don't need to worry too much. This matter involves a lot. Xu Zisheng is a smart person and he will not lift this cover!" Yan Song comforted seriously.

Wan Cai's mouth was slightly bitter. Although he did not have any worries about his life, this official position might be difficult to maintain. After all, even if the emperor and the ministers were not killed, Xu Jie would still take him away.

But he couldn't accept such a result for the time being. He wanted to continue to sit in the position of the Minister of the Dali Temple, and even climb to the position of the Six Ministers.

Cai Yuncheng did not have such a strong desire for power, but he was thinking about Yan Shifan's kindness to support him. He immediately asked seriously: "Master Yuan Fu, should we make a long-term plan and find a way to get rid of the crime of the young master?"

When Wan Cai heard this proposal, he seemed to have caught a life-saving grass and immediately echoed: "The little master has always been cautious in his work. If he did not investigate the outer city of Beijing and the three major palaces, there would be no evidence of his corruption and abuse of power on Xu Jie! Otherwise, we would like to submit a memorial to plead with mercy. If the emperor remembered the little master's past contribution, he might have spared this time."

But it was not that he was so loyal to Yan Shifan, but that Yan Shifan was a restless person. Their Yan Party might have gone to a more glorious situation under the leadership of Yan Shifan.

"Yan Shifan's crime is not evidence, but the emperor has convicted him in his heart!" Yan Song shook his head firmly and said.

Wan Cai asked in confusion: "Master Yuan Fu, why did you say this?"

"You have all read the emperor's handwriting. Even if you love to rebel against the ugly son, this is not only a reproach, but also a condemnation of Yan Shifan! Don't say that you wrote a memorial to plead with him. Even if the gods come, you cannot escape the crime for Yan Shifan. Do you want to be in trouble with the emperor?" Yan Song analyzed wisely.

When Cai Yuncheng and Wan Cai heard this analysis, they found that this was true. They accused Yan Song of this and directly put Yan Shifan on three hats of "rebellion", "rebellion" and "ugly", which had already made a conclusion about Yan Shifan's sinners.

"If there was a way to exempt Yan Shifan from being guilty, if I could use my resignation to exchange for Shifan's innocence, I would have used it as a father!" Yan Song sighed lightly and said helplessly.

Wan Cai also sighed lightly, having accepted the bad result, but Cai Yuncheng asked worriedly: "Master Yuanfu, the little master will not have any major problems, right?" The big incident here already refers to the charge of beheading.

Yan Song smiled comfortably and waved his hand gently, "The emperor will still be thinking about my affection. He will not really kill Yan Shifan. Moreover, I have had contact with Xu Jie, so he will not put Shifan to death. You don't need to worry too much!"

When Cai Yuncheng heard this, he nodded softly. He knew that he was overly worried, so he asked seriously again: "Master Yuan Fu, what should we do here?"

When Yan Song saw the matter and talked to the main topic, he immediately reminded him seriously: "The crime of selling official positions and titles cannot be admitted, but the emperor must explain the matter of greed and injustice!"

"Sir Yuan Fu, how should I explain it?" Wan Cai asked in confusion.

Yan Song closed his eyes slightly and sighed, "Tell me a little bit about the fact that I am greedy, but the amount should not be too large!"

During the Taizu period, greed for ink was undoubtedly a serious crime. Anyone who greed for more than 60 taels of silver was peeled and solid grass.

Just like the rest system, officials who always maintain the ancestral system choose to forget the overall choice. This ancestral system has long been quietly changed, and the current sentencing of greed has become much lighter.

Wan Cai wanted to ask how much it was appropriate to greedy, but Cai Yuncheng gave Wan Cai a wink and immediately stopped the voice.

Yan Song seemed a little tired and gave them a final advice: "The imperial edict should be issued soon, so don't mess with Yan Shifan. When things have reached this point, this is the best result for everyone, and it can also protect you the greatest amount!"

Cai Yuncheng wanted to stop talking. He wanted to repay Yan Shifan's support, but the matter came to this point. In particular, the emperor convicted Yan Shifan, which was indeed the best result.

The most important thing is that the emperor has made up his mind to replace Ge Lao Yan. If Yan Shifan is not convicted, once the charge falls on Ge Lao Yan, all of them will suffer.

Cai Yuncheng and Wan Cai did not achieve their original intention when they came in, and saluted Yan Song respectfully, but did not go to Yan Shifan to report, but left Yan's mansion directly.

When the two of them returned to their respective yamen, the three judicial departments had already arrived to investigate Yan Shifan's imperial edict.
