Chapter 1183 A pool of muddy water

There is no airtight wall in the world, and Jiajing's high suppression of the power of the internal prisoners has made these greedy eunuchs hungry for the silver, resulting in the palace wall not stopping many secrets.

Shortly after Xu Jie left Wanshou Palace, his self-discrimination statement was quickly spread.

But a little eunuch left the back door of Wanshou Palace and talked secretly in an unnoticed corner of the wall. The little eunuch immediately rushed towards Wuyi Palace.

The seventh-grade servant Yan Hong came out from Wuyi Palace with caution, listened carefully to the news he had just received, and immediately returned hurriedly with a heavy expression.

"I'm really old!"

Yan Song, who was holding a pen to write a ticket to write a memorial, learned the news, raised his head and looked at Wanshou Palace. After a long time, he sighed slowly, and he seemed to have aged in his teenagers all of a sudden.

His eyebrows were snow-white, his eyes looked cloudy, his face was covered with old-fashioned spots, his cheek bones were raised, and the flesh wrapped around his face seemed to remain unchanged, leaving only a pale face.

Time flies. The 18th-year-old Jinshi of Hongzhi, who was once radiant, has been in the 18th year of Hongzhi, has been in the past for more than fifty years. He has become an 83-year-old elderly man, and his mind is obviously no longer as enlightened as before.

If it were in the past, before he had taken action against Xu Jie by borrowing the case of destroying the dike and flooding the fields, he would have thought about the matter in detail. At that time, he would have considered more than ten dikes, either eliminating this hidden danger in advance or giving up the attack.

But now his energy can no longer keep up, and his mind becomes slower and slower, and he even begins to forget.

The same is true. He could only choose to trust Yan Shifan more, and Yan Shifan would help him out. When encountering difficulties, he would send messengers home to ask Yan Shifan for his opinions.

But this time, he seemed to be entrusted with something that he was not entrusted. Although Yan Shifan was very smart and a good player in a political struggle, he still lacked political height and could not be regarded as a real politician.

Now Xu Jie has revealed the incident of more than ten collapsed dikes, and at the same time, the incident of the fact that the Baihe Dike and other ten river dikes have not undergone major renovations for five years. Not only did it muddle the water, but it also dragged Yan Song into the water.

Although the reduction in water conservancy projects is to meet the needs of the emperor's monks to practice Taoism, no matter what the reason is, the prime minister is the first to be affected. If things really get bigger, I'm afraid he will shoot himself in the foot.

As soon as he thought of this, he was immediately discouraged and had a real time to resign and return home.

"Grandpa, Xu Jie's intention seems to be to guide you in doing nothing on the river bank. What should I do now?" Yan Hong also asked worriedly after reporting the news.

Yan Song sighed lightly, looked at Yan Hong and ordered lightly: "You can pass this news to him! It will prevent Yan Shifan from being complacent about his bad idea until now!"

"Yes!" Yan Hong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw his grandfather not coming up with any plan to turn things around, but he still respectfully took the order.

I was a little bit Yongfang, Yanfu.

The house by the lakeside was constantly making sounds of silk and bamboo, and famous teachers were invited to perform again. The stage was no longer a Persian dancer, but a Chinese dance full of Jiangnan style.

Yan Shifan, wearing a mourning robbery, was indeed complacent, drinking and enjoying herself as usual, and she was drowsy and life was like a god.

Xu Jie was summoned to the palace to meet the saint, so he naturally could not escape his eyes and ears.

But Yan Shifan disagreed with this. After all, Xu Jie also served Jiajing for many years. Now Xu Jie resigned for his crime, and it is normal for the emperor to summon him.

In his idea, Xu Jie entered the palace to meet the saint this time to exchange his many years of achievements for Xu Kun's safety. Tomorrow, Xu's old dog will leave the capital like a broken dog.

"Gaga... I underestimate this Xu Zisheng!"

After hearing the news, Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

In theory, he had already held He Jiu's testimony and asked his father to recommend Dong Wei as the imperial envoy for investigation, which was almost unsolvable. But who would have thought that Xu Jie had taken a different approach and made a good article by taking advantage of the collapse of the dike.

If I had known that he had this trick before, I could have been a little more careful about him, but now it is undoubtedly too late, and the water was completely muddled by Xu Jie.

"Brother Donglou, the emperor did not make any decision immediately. I'm afraid he hasn't made up his mind yet?" Luo Wenlong never dared to get drunk in front of Yan Shifan, so he said clearly.

Yan Shifan impatiently pushed away the beauty who was feeding the meat next to him and answered with great certainty: "No, don't look at the emperor's stubbornness, but the emperor is very proud. He definitely hopes to stop investigating the case of destroying the dike and flooding the fields!"

"Brother Donglou, don't be too anxious about this matter! Xu Jie is actually gambling. He bets that the emperor does not want to get stained and will not investigate the case of destroying the dike and flooding the river. But we have He Jiu, a witness in our hands. As long as it can prove that Xu Kun destroyed the dike and flooded the fields, Xu Jie will be doomed!" Luo Wenlong said calmly.

Yan Shifan drank a lot of wine, and his fat face seemed to be rubbed with rouge, but he calmed down and slowly digested Luo Wenlong's words.

Luo Wenlong looked like a wise bead in his hands, and looked at Yan Shifan with confidence and continued, "This imperial edict has been issued. Let us let Lord Dong set off immediately. Will the emperor still go back on his word and ask Lord Dong to suspend the investigation of the case of destroying the dike and flooding the fields?"

Yan Shifan's eyes lit up immediately, but he nodded repeatedly and said, "Hehe...yes, let Dong Wei start from the journey and leave Beijing now, and do not give the emperor a chance to repent. Let him go to Songjiang Prefecture to investigate the case immediately today!"

Yan Shifan became more and more excited the more he thought about it. The emperor was a person with good face and rarely did anything to go back on his word. Now that the emperor has issued an order to ask Dong Wei to investigate the case of destroying the dike and flooding the fields, it is naturally impossible to slap himself in the face.

As long as Dong Wei left the capital and rushed to Songjiang Prefecture to implement the case of Xu Kun destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, the matter would naturally be to cook raw rice. I am afraid Jiajing would have to pinch his nose and accept it.

As for whether there will be any storm in the future, there is no need to worry about this. Hu Zongxian has already accumulated a very high reputation in the Southeast. I believe that with his reputation and ability, he will definitely be able to easily suppress this matter.

He acted as soon as he said he could act, and Yan Shifan immediately sent someone to urge Dong Wei to leave Beijing immediately.

The incident was also a coincidence. As soon as Dong Wei left in a carriage, the eunuch in the palace came to Dong's mansion. He originally wanted Dong Wei to enter the palace to meet the saint, but when he learned that Dong Wei had set off for Songjiang Mansion, he had to go back and report his life in a bad mood.
