Chapter 1518 Emperor's Heart

Jiajing opened the memorial and looked at the part of the apology in front of him, but his heart sank slightly. He immediately snorted coldly: "These censors are all treacherous villains. With the right to report the news, they really distort right and wrong. However, Lin Ruoyu was too cautious and even wrote a memorial to himself. Don't you think I would be blinded by the villain?"

Although several days have passed, he still maintains a very high favor for Lin Qingran. Whenever he thinks of Lin Qingran finding such a huge salt smuggling network, he is both angry and relieved, and naturally takes good care of Lin Qingran.

"If Lord Lin had not seized 100,000 stones of private salt, I actually thought he was really a treacherous minister!" Feng Bao's heart moved slightly, but suddenly expressed his opinion.

Since Jiajing ascended the throne, the suppression of internal supervision has been comprehensive.

In the past, many kings of the Ming Dynasty regarded internal surveillance as internal surveillance, and many government affairs relied on eunuchs. Even if they did not give the "power to criticize the red" to them, they would still listen to their opinions.

However, when the Jiajing Dynasty was in the Jiajing Dynasty, Jiajing regarded eunuchs as slaves. Not only did he remove the local eunuchs, but he also firmly grasped the power to criticize the people, and strictly restricted them from participating in government affairs.

The reason why Yan Song was able to take charge of the government in the past was that in addition to Jiajing's trust in him was that the internal supervisor could not decentralize power, thus forming a situation where the position of Chief Secretary was extremely powerful.

When Huang Jin and Chen Hong heard Feng Bao express their opinions, they looked at Jiajing carefully. They wanted to know whether Feng Bao was angry with the emperor, but also wanted to know whether the emperor relaxed some restrictions on their internal supervision and whether they could obtain some government participation.

"Lin Xuran is not a treacherous minister!" Jiajing gave the answer firmly and continued to comment without raising his head: "He has courage and ability, just like he was the only one back then, but it's a pity that he is too young!"

As soon as this statement was made, Lin Qingran expected. With these words, if he was criticized for the salt inspection in the future, he would probably not be able to pass the Jiajing level at all.

Huang Jin and Chen Hong couldn't help but decide whether Jiajing relaxed the control of their internal supervision or whether they had a high sense of identity with Lin Weiran, which made them unable to judge for a while.

Chen Hong is a somewhat ambitious person and has a good impression of Lin Qingran, so he flattered tentatively: "Master, I think Lin Qingran is a good thing to be young, so that he can assist the emperor for decades like Ge Lao Yan!"

"Haha...How can I?" Jiajing smiled cheerfully, but thought that he did not live so long, and felt it was unlucky, so he changed his words and said, "I hope so!"

Huang Jin was still unable to determine whether Jiajing had relaxed control over them, but he sighed in his heart, knowing that the emperor still yearned for immortality, thinking that he could live forever and even ascend in the daytime.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason. Even though King Jing has been in the vassal for more than a year, no court officials have suggested that the emperor be appointed as a crown prince. Even if the eldest grandson of the Prince Yu's mansion is born now, no officials have submitted congratulations.

Under the decades of power of this Ming Dynasty, all the civil and military officials in the court seemed to have been castrated, and no officials took risks with their future and wealth.

Waiting seemed to have become a tacit understanding among all parties. The civil and military officials and King Yu outside seemed to behave properly. They no longer mentioned the matters of the kings or princes. They seemed to be waiting for the day when the emperor was dying.

Jiajing may have seen this, or perhaps he did not, but he was consistently chasing immortality, and was afraid of officials talking about his funeral funeral, and even more so, he did not allow him to talk about the establishment of the crown prince.

Huh?

When Jiajing saw the second half of the memorial, he showed a solemn expression.

Huang Jin and Chen Hong quickly captured this expression and felt a little moved in their hearts. Both of them were guessing what variable Lin Qingran brought, which actually made the emperor show such a rare expression.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the palace servants did not dare to breathe heavily. The huge palace was so quiet that it could be heard.

Jiajing was very good at power and was also very independent in government affairs, so he was rated as the smartest emperor of the Ming Dynasty by later generations. At this time, he looked at the second half of the memorial and was already thinking about something seriously.

After a while, he seemed to have an idea, and then he left the memorial and ordered directly to Huang Jin beside him: "Tomorrow, please call Mr. Xu, Shangshu Yan, and Shangshu Wu to come here!"

"Yes!" Huang Jin didn't understand why, but he still saluted respectfully.

The capital city will always be the center of the whirlpool, and there are struggles everywhere.

Although Xu Jie replaced Yan Song, he did not have the arbitrary and ruthless attitude towards the government affairs of Yan Song and his son, which led to the court having the Shanxi clan of Yang Bo, the Minister of War, Dong Fen, the Zhejiang clan of Dong Fen, the Shanxi clan of Wu Shan, and the Henan clan of former Minister of Personnel, Guo Pu, the Henan clan of former Minister of Personnel.

As the situation in the court becomes more complicated, the battles here are even more turbulent, and all parties are looking for opportunities for rise.

The private salt matter has further fermented. Some people want to protect themselves, but some people want to take the opportunity to attack. Since the Tianjin Military Superintendent is recommended by Yang Bo, Yang Bo has been under considerable pressure recently, and public opinion in the capital has pointed to this high-ranking Minister of War.

Huaishu Hutong, Xu Mansion.

A sedan that looked very ordinary came back in the evening and slowly landed in the front yard. From it, a thin and short old man emerged, but his body was filled with a sense of majesty.

"Dad, you're back!" The tall Xu Fan came from inside and complained slightly to his father.

Xu Jie had long been accustomed to his son's virtue, and he didn't even pay attention to his son, but walked straight inside. Unlike many officials, he liked to drill into the study when he went home, and he usually liked to read or write.

"Dad, something happened at home!" Xu Fan followed Xu Jie and said with a bitter face when he entered the study.

Xu Jie sat down in the side hall, took the teacup brought by the butler, and immediately asked, "Is it Xu Kun or Xu Ying?"

"Uh, it's not the second and third brothers!" Xu Fan was stunned immediately, and then corrected: "Actually, it's not our family, it's the third uncle that happened!"

Xu Jie took a sip of hot tea, but still frowned, and asked patiently: "What's the specific matter?"

"Dad, please read it!" Xu Fan immediately took out a letter and handed it to Xu Jie with both hands and said seriously.
