Jiajing was not an emperor who liked to write his thoughts on his face, nor did he discuss everything with the important ministers. Instead, he said lightly: "If nothing else, please step back!"

Jiajing had already made a decision in his heart, and Wu Shan's fate might be worrying but not happy. In the final analysis, Wu Shan should not have made this memorial that is disliked by the sage, and he does not need to become a "thorn in the eyes" of Xu Jie.

Xu Jie respectfully bowed and prepared to leave. Although he could not judge what the emperor would do, he had already met his psychological expectations by concluding that Wu Shan was in danger.

Although Yan Song is his most important goal at the moment, "if people have no long-term plans, they will have immediate worries." In particular, Lin Qingran's childhood is extremely difficult, so he should be vigilant about Wu Shan at all times.

This time, if Wu Shan can be directly eliminated, it will naturally be commendable. But if the emperor can have an idea of ​​an enemy against Wu Shan, it will not be in vain for him to waste his efforts.

It was at this moment that Gao Yao stepped forward and suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something else to do!"

Huang Jin and others looked at Gao Yao in confusion, but they didn't know what the Minister of Revenue was going to say.

"Say!" Jiajing picked up a copy of the memorial on the desk, looking cold and authentic.

When Xu Jie saw this scene, he vaguely felt that things were not simple.

Tears burst into Gao Yao's eyes and said remorsefully: "I'll tell you that the ambergris I offered that day was bought in the capital. After that, I thought that something was wrong, so I couldn't sleep or eat for days.

Send someone to conduct in-depth investigation, but it can be found..."

Jiajing had already grabbed a memorial in his hand. After hearing this, he put down the memorial and looked at him with a gloomy face and said, "What have you found?"

Gao Yao gritted his teeth and raised his fat face, tears rolled in his eyes, and replied in pain: "The ambergris purchased by Weichen is actually flowing out of the palace!"

As soon as this said, the palace servants around were shocked and stunned.

Ambergris flowed out of the palace, so naturally it was not something that Gao Yao, a foreign minister, could do. Some of them must have stolen ambergris when they caught fire that day, and the spearhead was already directed at their palace servants.

The most important thing is that His Majesty, who has always been wise and sacred, made a big mistake.

This ambergris came from the palace and naturally belonged to the emperor. However, when the emperor accepted Gao Yao's ambergris, he not only gave Gao Yao 760 taels of silver, but also gave Gao Yao the title of Prince and Grand Tutor.

It was like a thunder sounding from the ground, blowing many people to burn out on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Gao Aiqing, I have known the essence of what you said!" Jiajing was not surprised, but held the memorial in his hand and looked at him coldly.

A cold feeling surged on Gao Yao's back immediately, and he apologized again: "I am guilty and mistakenly gave the emperor's ambergris to the emperor as his belongings. Please punish him!"

"You are guilty, it's simply unforgivable!" Jiajing's face also had a true face, and he immediately accused him loudly, but then said, "If you hadn't confessed today, I would have cured your great disrespectful crime!

”

"I deserve to die for the crime!" Gao Yao immediately knelt down on the ground, feeling extremely scared.

Xu Jie saw this scene in his eyes and looked at Gao Yao who was kneeling on his feet and repenting thoughtfully.

Last year, the Wanshou Palace was burned and all the treasures were burned. This is indeed a bit strange. However, after the fire, only a piece of ruins remained. Everyone's attention was focused on reconstruction, so they naturally burned the treasures into ashes.

It’s just that birds die for food and people die for money, and the palace ladies have always been greedy for money. Chen Bin, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, took advantage of the situation of supervising the worker and was defeated, and finally got more than 300,000 taels of silver from his house.

So many.

The fire that night was happening, and it was inevitable that some palace servants would take risks and sneak into the treasure house to steal some treasures in the chaos, and then sell them to the nobles in the capital.

After the construction of Wanshou Palace was completed, the emperor issued an order to let all officials enter the treasure, which gave the palace servants the opportunity to escape, and at the same time, it would also allow these stolen treasures to surface.

Xu Jie felt a little puzzled that ambergris was a ball of sticky substance, and it could change its shape by just a few pinching. Even if it was offered to the emperor, the emperor would not find any flaws.

However, the truth quickly surfaced.

Jiajing's voice sounded again, as if everything was in control and said, "Do you really think you can deceive me? The white Ganoderma lucidum offered by Liu Ji also flowed out of the palace, and it is also an object that belongs to me, right?

”

When Xu Jie heard this, his face felt relieved, which was explained that Liu Ji was so confused that he was ordered to sit idle.

If Liu Ji presented the real treasure, he would naturally be promoted. However, if he presented the emperor with his belongings, he would be a deceiving emperor. This is the same. Liu Ji had made a mistake and would naturally be "punished"

.

What Xu Jie didn't know was that it was whether Liu Ji exposed Gao Yao or Gao Yao implicated Liu Ji.

"The Emperor's Holy Wisdom!" Gao Yao naturally would not hide it anymore, and immediately shed tears of regret, and a hint of luck surged.

When Liu Ji was ordered to stay idle, he had a bad premonition. After some thought, he guessed that the root cause might be the issue of offering treasures, and their behavior might have been known to the emperor.

After several inquiries, he guessed that the person who exposed the matter was not someone else, but the biggest beneficiary, Lin Weiran, the new governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

Lin Xuran entered the palace that day, his real intention was not to offer treasures to the priest, but to directly report this matter to the priest. This can also explain why after Lin Xuran entered the palace to offer treasures, he obviously did not offer treasures, but instead got the best.

The location of the Tianfu Gong.

Although Liu Ji was severely punished and the culprit, he was safe and sound for several days, he did not easily reject Lin Shiran's inference to breaking the matter.

He found an aide to conduct in-depth analysis and made a big hypothesis. The reason why he was able to support him safely until now is probably not that he was not exposed, but that the Lord was waiting for the opportunity.

The emperor was able to directly remove Liu Ji from his official position against the "sincere" Liu Ji, but it was impossible to exempt him as the Minister of Revenue for no reason. The most important thing is that the emperor probably did not want the scandal to be made public, so he would find other reasons to him.

Carry out dismissal and investigate.

The matter proved that his inference was not wrong. His move to confess the truth was already considered to be the right one. Otherwise, he would have been delayed for another day and he might have gotten out of the position of Minister of Revenue.

As soon as he thought of this, his hair was exploding, and a little luck surged in his heart.

Jiajing did have complicated thoughts, but out of the need to control important officials, he turned to Xu Jie and said, "Xu Aiqing, how do you think I should deal with this matter?"
