Chapter 1988 An autumn rain
Things were as expected. After learning that Yang Bo was ordered to stay idle by the emperor, the memorial to impeach Yang Bo was sent to Tongzhengsi like a piece of paper.
Not only the Kedao censor who was changing with the wind, but many officials in the capital also joined in the fun and criticized Yang Bo's various past mistakes. Some even accused Yang Bo of being a White Lotus Sect.
When a person is in a high position, it is naturally the flowers and applause of everyone; when a person is in trouble, there are some big stones that are smashed from his head.
When Yan Song was in power, no one called him a "virtuous prime minister". As Yan Song was dismissed from office, the former "virtuous prime minister" became the first treacherous prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Bo himself did not have too outstanding political achievements. Even when he served as Minister of War, the Mongolian cavalry had already arrived at Beijing. If it were not for Xu Jie's protection, he might have been pushed to the guillotine.
But Yang Bo was famous for serving as the Minister of Personnel, but he promoted many officials from the Northern Division during this period.
This is exactly this. Unlike the impeachment by Wei Shiliang, the military officer, last time, Yang Bo has been faced with the biggest test since he joined the government and is also a rare impeachment event in the capital in recent years.
These memorials were sent to Wanshou Palace. Jiajing no longer had the interest or energy to read them. He just asked Chen Hong and Feng Bao to count the number and then submit a list of impeachments.
In the evening, a cold autumn wind came quietly, and it was the drizzling drizzle on the blue brick streets of the capital, and it also appeared in the courtyards of various houses.
When the Xiyuan was about to close, Xu Jie walked out of the palace gate with an oil-paper umbrella, and then rode the sedan chair waiting here and returned to the house in the capital.
"The child welcomes Dad back!"
Xu Fan and others learned in advance that my father had returned today, so they also came to the sedan hall first and saluted Xu Jie who had come out of the sedan chair.
As Xu Ying came to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Secretariat, Xu Jie's three sons were already officials, creating a grand occasion where the father and son became officials in the same dynasty.
However, given the lessons of Yan Shifan, not to ask his son to go to the cabinet to help with government affairs in the name of serving him, Xu Jie did not even allow Xu Fan to hold important positions.
It’s not that he doesn’t want his son to become successful, but that he knows the virtues of these three sons. The most important thing is that from the day his son cannot enter the imperial examination, it has been destined that these three sons cannot make a difference in the officialdom.
Since its establishment in the Ming Dynasty, except for the left minister of the Ministry of Works, Xu Fan, who was a fool, who was a third-rank official, there have been no children of Enyin who hold important positions as officials.
If he forcibly helps his son up now, it will not only ruin the reputation of the virtuous ministers he manages, but it will also be like pushing his son into a fire pit.
Even if he is still in the position of prime minister, if his son really takes up an important position, he will definitely be killed by Lin Junran's old foxes, and it is likely to affect the whole family as much as Yan Shifan.
It is now that even though the three sons have already entered the official position, he is right that they will not let Yan Shifan repeat the mistakes.
Xu Jie nodded slightly to Xu Fan and the other two, but his eyes did not stop on the three sons, but looked at the officials behind him.
"Secretary of the Lord Yuanfu!"
Huang Guangsheng and others also welcomed the sedan chair and saluted respectfully at Xu Jie.
Unlike Xu Jie, who was worried, Huang Guangsheng and Mao Kai showed sympathy on their faces, but they felt a little secretly happy in their hearts for Yang Bo's predicament.
Xu Jie nodded slightly to Huang Guangsheng and others, and asked that Xu Fan's meal was ready, so he led all the officials to the table together.
Every time Xu Jie returns from Xiyuan and takes the initiative to summon a group of Xu Party core members, there must be something important to discuss.
The meal was not very enjoyable. Although Xu Fan and Xu Kun were there to reconcile the atmosphere, Huang Guangsheng and others could no longer concentrate on the wine table.
After dinner, everyone came to the tea room in the study and took the seats with the guests.
Huang Guangsheng and other officials exchanged glances, but no one was willing to speak first.
Xu Jie knew what they were thinking, but did not point it out directly. Instead, he looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was last seat, and asked lightly: "Taiyue, Prince Yu and the prince were infected with cold a while ago. Has Zeng Kang recovered recently?"
This Prince Yu refers to Emperor Wanli, who was influenced by his later generations. However, Wanli has not been officially included in the ancestral book since he was born, and now he does not even have a formal name.
"The disciple personally hired a famous doctor from the capital for him. Prince Yu and the prince's health are now safe!" Zhang Juzheng responded seriously in front of Xu Jie's inquiry.
When Xu Jie heard that Prince Yu and the prince were in good health, he nodded softly.
Although King Yu has not been crowned as the crown prince so far, King Yu is the only son of the current emperor, and it is a foregone conclusion that he inherits the throne. For long-term considerations, although he continued to have a good relationship with King Yu, Zhang Juzheng was already his best bridge.
Xu Jie talked about the matter of Prince Yu's Mansion with Zhang Juzheng, and then gave a few serious instructions, which stopped the topic.
"Brother Zisheng, Yang Shangshu caused such a problem. Dozens of officials in the capital have submitted memorials to impeach him. What should I do now?" Qian Bangyan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, couldn't help but ask.
As soon as this said, Huang Guangsheng and others looked at Xu Jie, and Xu Jie took a sip of tea slowly.
"Master, can Yang Bo be unable to overcome this disaster?" Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a moment and asked seriously.
This was undoubtedly a question that made Huang Guangsheng and others feel. No one said anything anymore, but looked up at Xu Jie, waiting for an affirmative or negative answer.
Xu Jie held the teacup in his palm and sighed softly in front of everyone's eyes: "When I just left Xiyuan, I had already asked Ziwei to go back and persuade Yang Bo to resign!"
ah?
When Huang Guangsheng and others heard this answer, they couldn't help but glared. Although he wanted Yang Bo to fall, he was still surprised to hear that Xu Jie really gave up Yang Bo.
You know, many officials in the court now actually look at Xu Jie's expression, and the emperor's most favored official is Xu Jie, but he may not be able to protect Yang Bo.
Xu Jie seemed to understand the thoughts of Huang Guangsheng and others, and said lightly: "Even if I take action now, Lin Ruoyu will not let Yang Bo go!"
"Master Yuanfu, he is not that capable yet?" Mao Kai, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, frowned slightly and said.
Huang Guangsheng and others also looked at Xu Jie. Although they knew that Lin Xu Ran had become more and more terrifying, they still felt that Lin Xu Ran could not threaten them at all, and it was even more impossible for them to have such great energy.
Xu Jie smiled bitterly, raised his eyes and looked at everyone and said, "After Liang Dafa arrived at Xuanfu, with the help of a border general, he had already climbed over the city wall and fled to the prairie!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes present glared.
