Li Chunfang came out of Xiyuan and took a sedan chair to the Ministry of Rites.

If there is a dynasty in which court master worked the longest, it is probably the current Jiajing Dynasty. Like the former chief minister Yan Song, he almost lived in the Xiyuan, and accompanied Jiajing day and night.

When he arrived at Xu Jie, although he was not as exaggerated as Yan Song, he often stayed in Xiyuan. In addition to dealing with affairs in the yamen, senior officials such as Li Chunfang, Yan Ne and Dong Fen often took turns to Xiyuan at night.

Even though it is the Spring Festival now, their group of people have no holidays and always go to the palace to write green poems for the emperor.

"Meet Lord Zhengtang!"

Lin Qingran and Qin Mingtang first went to the living room to use tea. When they saw Li Chunfang coming in from outside, they immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

The Ministry of Rites is a wonder: Li Chunfang, the Minister of Rites, was the top scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing, Lin Qingran, the Left Minister of Rites, was the top scholar in the 37th year of Jiajing, and Qin Minglei, the Right Minister of Rites, was the top scholar in the 23rd year of Jiajing.

"The three departments of the Ministry of Rites are all top scholars." Although this cannot be said to be a future generation, it is unprecedented. Therefore, people who have good deeds call it auspicious to Jiajing for this phenomenon, which makes Jiajing very happy.

Li Chunfang had no airs and gave the two gentle greetings, and then explained with a humility: "Ruoyu, Ziyu, I suddenly asked you to return to the headquarters today, so there is something important to discuss!"

Before Lin Xuran responded, Qin Minglei said first: "Please tell me!"

Li Chunfang sat down at the master's seat, glanced at the two of them, and said straight to the point: "The emperor intends to reduce the vassal of the clan, so Master Xu asked our Ministry of Rites to get a plan!"

When Lin Weiran heard that it was the issue of reducing the vassal of the clan and rice, a trace of bitterness immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although he had guessed this a long time ago, when the ball rolled over, he couldn't help but complain: This court is really not worry-free.

"Master Zhengtang, does the emperor really want to reduce the vassal of the clan?" Qin Minglei's eyes flashed with excitement, and he seemed to be verifying seriously.

During the Jiajing Dynasty, many officials knew one thing clearly: as long as they do their best to do their best to do things according to the emperor's wishes, although they did not treat them as well as Zhang Cong in the past, promotion and wealth were no problem.

Li Chunfang turned his head and looked at Qin Minglei with hope, and nodded honestly and said, "The emperor is very angry about the Han royal family's riots in Xi'an. He has clearly ordered Mr. Xu to come up with a plan to reduce the vassal of the clan, and Mr. Xu handed over the matter to our Ministry of Rites."

Qin Minglei clenched his fist and hit the other hand, and said excitedly: "If this is the case, our Ministry of Rites has no choice but to come up with an effective plan and submit it to the emperor and Mr. Xu!"

There was no excitement on Lin Weiran's face. She sat quietly beside her and continued to savor the tea slowly.

"Zuo Zongbo, what are your plans for reducing the vassal of the clan?" Li Chunfang's eyes fell on Lin Weiran, and asked with great attention.

When Qin Minglei heard Li Chunfang being the first to ask Yu Lin Qiran, the excitement on his face disappeared immediately, and he looked at Lin Qiran who was sitting quietly opposite him with hostility.

Qin Minglei was a Jinshi who was in the 23rd year of Jiajing in Qin Minglei. He is in his fifties this year. He is steadily inferior to Lin Qiran in terms of qualifications and age, but he stole Lin Qiran's position as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

It would be fine if Lin Xunran was an incompetent person, but Lin Xunran was quite capable, which made him unable to see any hope of replacing it, and it really made him grit his teeth.

Lin Qingran was sitting with his eyes and nose and heart. When he heard Li Chunfang's question, he seemed to have reacted and responded modestly: "Master Zhengtang, this matter is very important and involves a lot, and the subordinates can't explain why! But we must definitely reduce the clan's wealth, but how to reduce it, whether to reduce the prince or the lieutenant, what is the reduction? These must be discussed in the long run!"

"What's the difficulty? According to my opinion, the prince's fortune is reduced by half; the prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince's prince

Li Chunfang frowned slightly, but did not make a statement immediately. Instead, he looked at Lin Xuran and asked again: "Zuo Zongbo, do you think this plan is appropriate?"

Qin Minglei felt even stronger dissatisfaction in his heart, and he seemed to stare at Lin Weiran with greater vigilance.

"You Zongbo was old enough to plan the country. Since he was so confident, he would not make any big mistakes!" Lin Qian seemed to respect Qin Minglei quite much and bowed to Qin Minglei with a smile.

Qin Minglei was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that Lin Xuran was not as disgusting as before, and seemed to have some advantage. He couldn't help but look at Li Chunfang proudly.

Li Chunfang glanced at Lin Weiran, but still did not express his opinion. Instead, he said seriously: "According to the meaning of Mr. Xu, this time, we not only want to reduce the vassal of the clan, but also hope that we can come up with a plan that can make the Ming Dynasty plan for a hundred generations! Zuo Zongbo, you have the talent to govern the country, and I wonder what good strategies can you have for this?"

"The Lord of the Lord of the Lord has been praised, and the lower officials have also been lucky enough to do some things well. But when it comes to governing the country, let alone you, the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord, you are also the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of

Qin Minglei was afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he immediately expressed his opinion to Li Chunfang: "Master, if you trust the officials, the officials are willing to share the worries of the officials and draft a plan for the Ming Dynasty that can make a plan for the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Chunfang looked at Lin Qingran meaningfully, sighed silently in her heart, and finally responded to Qin Minglei: "You Zong Bo, then you will deal with this matter. Draw a plan as soon as possible. Then the three of us will discuss it again!"

"Sir, please obey the order!" Qin Minglei's eyes shone with light, and he bowed respectfully.

Seeing that the matter was over, Li Chunfang talked about some polite words again, and then left.

Lin Xuran watched Qin Minglei leave quickly, but shook his head gently.

Although it is Jiajing's meaning to reduce the vassal of the clan and the rice, this is what Jiajing said in anger, so he can only think that it is fart.

What was the plan to recover Hetao? Xia Yan and his ministers were preparing for it in full swing. Just as they were about to prepare for the action, Jiajing suddenly issued an edict: "Now we have to chase the thieves, is the army famous? Is there any more soldiers to eat? Is it necessary to succeed? What is the point of saying, what is the poison of the people?"

Faced with such a fickle emperor, Jiajing was not the kind of wise king who wanted to reform drastically. Lin Qingran knew that the matter of reducing the royal family's fortune was not a good job, and it was likely that it would be difficult to get into trouble.

The most important thing is that once the new issue of "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" adds a lot of fire, the scholars' enthusiasm for reducing the Lu Mi of the royal family must be hoped to make all the children of the royal family lose their jobs.

However, Jiajing inherited the zodiac with a small clan, but it was impossible for the royal family to easily destroy the job, and he did not dare to change the ancestral system easily. If that time comes, the officials in charge of this matter will easily become unpleasant centrists.

Lin Qingran saw this clearly. Even if he wanted to say a few good things to Qin Minglei, he was unwilling to wade into this muddy water and chose to silently look at the development of the situation.

Since Lin Qingran did not participate in the draft of reducing the vassal and rice, he went home and continued his holiday. During this period, he moved back to Jintaifang, the north of the city to stay for a few days, and also visited the lantern festival in the Gulou.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, news came again in Shaanxi.

General Zhu Rongyi of Fengguo refused to accept the imperial edict. Not only did he expel the imperial edict, but he also beat the prefect of Pingliang Qi Tianxu. Chen Qixu and others made a fuss to a certain extent, Chen Qixu used the army to quell the rebellion and enforced the law.

At this point, the farce of the Han Palace ended, but the incident of Zongfa Lumi was pushed to the forefront and became the first hot topic in Jiajing forty-three years.
