Chapter 1703 Quiet Xu Jie

In Xiyuan, the blue sky and white clouds are reflecting on the lake surface of Taiyechi. The spring waves rippled slightly, and followed the weeping willows sprouting from the lakeside and the tender grass drilling out of the soil to outline a spring picture.

But no matter whether it is cold or heat, the people on the palace road are walking in a hurry. Eunuchs and palace maids are used to lowering their heads and stepping on small steps. Officials usually walk by quickly, so they naturally have no time to appreciate the scenery of the lake and mountains.

As for the owner of this spring, he is now immersed in the cultivation of mysteries and has long since ignored spring, summer, autumn and winter, so it is naturally impossible to waste time coming here to enjoy the scenery.

Wuyi Palace, this magnificent palace adds a bit of momentum to the spring light.

It seemed as if I had woken up from the dormant period of the Spring Festival, the place had been re-operated. There were some officials and clerks in front of the hall, and the cabinet master led by Xu Jie was handling the memorials of the thirteen provinces of the two capitals.

Wei Yinbao, the most powerful enemy in Guangdong and Guangxi, was captured, and the rebels in Gutian surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Guangdong and Guangxi received unprecedented peace. The Japanese pirates in the southeast did not make a comeback, and there were almost no traces of Japanese pirates in the territory.

In addition to the Tartars in the north, they were also ready to move, and the entire Ming Dynasty was already a prosperous era of peaceful and clear rivers.

Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, sat upright at the desk. The years gradually dyed his hair white, and he looked focused and was dealing with the memorials of the thirteen provinces of the two capitals.

"father!"

A figure hurried in from outside, immediately breaking the tranquility here.

The person who came was Xu Jie's son, Xu Fan, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. His tall figure formed a strong contrast with Xu Jie's shortness and thinness, so that some people maliciously speculated about the real relationship between the father and son.

As Xu Jie's position became more and more stable, Xu Fan could not find anything to do in Taichang Temple all day long, but he liked to go to the cabinet often.

With Yan Shifan's glory in front of him, Xu Fan also hopes that one day he will enter the cabinet like Yan Shifan in the name of serving his father and become a small cabinet master with the power of the Ming Dynasty.

When Xu Jie heard this movement, his brows frowned slightly. It was not that he didn't like this son, but mainly because he didn't like his son's recklessness.

Facing his son walking towards this side, he said in a deep voice without raising his head, "What's the matter!"

No matter how small a son is, he always gives people the illusion that the heavens are collapsed. Therefore, Xu Jie was not nervous at all and still focused on the memorial in his hand.

Although the Ming Dynasty was already "a peaceful and clear river", there were also many affairs in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. In addition, some diplomatic matters were also needed.

In his impression, the North Korean mission seemed to have just returned, but now it has submitted a letter of nationality to the border, and actually wants to enter the pass and come to Daming to congratulate him.

This vassal state is not far from the capital, but for some reason it suddenly became wider. The number of times he came to the Ming Dynasty these years ago was obviously much more diligent than when he was the Minister of Rites.

Faced with such a passionate vassal state, although Xu Jie knew that the imperial mission wanted to come to the Ming Dynasty to buy goods, he could not refuse the enthusiasm of North Korea.

After all, as long as the North Korean mission comes and does not cause trouble or cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty, he is still willing to open this convenient door for the North Korean mission.

"Dad, in addition to Dong Fen, Zhu Heng, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also visited Yan Shifan in the prison of the Ministry of Justice!" Xu Fan came to the desk and appeared to report seriously.

The pen in Xu Jie couldn't help but stop, raised his head in confusion and murmured: "Zhu Heng? How could he help Yan Shifan?"

Zhu Heng, a Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing, was first appointed as the governor of Youxi, and later moved to the head of the Ministry of Justice. He served as the doctor of the Ministry of Justice. He was sent to Fujian to promote his studies as deputy envoy. He served as the governor of Shandong and then served as the governor of Shandong. He then returned to the capital to serve as an official.

Left Minister of the Ministry.

It is precisely because Zhu Heng's position was mainly in the local area, and he did not have much contact with the Yan family, and Zhu Heng gave him many gifts, so Xu Jie chose to elect Zhu Heng to the important position of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

But just as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel knew that the Yan family had lost power, he still went to the Ministry of Justice to meet Yan Shifan, but he didn't know what he intended?

"Dad, I asked someone to inquire. Old Man Yan wrote letters to many officials in the capital! Why are Zhu Heng from Jiangxi? He used to receive the favor from Old Man Yan, and now he must be rewarded!" Xu Fan seemed to guess that

Dad explained with a look of confusion.

Xu Jie glared at his son angrily, feeling that things would not be so simple, so he asked again: "Apart from Zhu Heng, are there other important officials who went to the Ministry of Justice to visit Yan Shifan?"

"Dad, there is another person you are afraid you would never have imagined! Although he did not go in person, he went to the Ministry of Justice to meet Huang Guangsheng and asked the housekeeper to visit Yan Shifan in the Ministry of Justice's prison!" Xu Fan lowered his voice, looking extremely mysterious.

Said .

Xu Jie knew that the official's identity must be quite good, so he calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. Then he slowly spit out a word and said, "Who?"

"Hehe... it's that... Wu Yuejing!" Xu Fan first laughed dryly, then gritted his teeth and revealed the name.

Although Wu Shan had never offended him, Wu Shan was in a state of hostility with them and was his father's biggest threat. Now that he learned that Wu Shan actually wanted to save Yan Shifan, he clearly wanted to get along with his Xu family, and a heart couldn't help but feel a surge of heart.

A grudge.

If possible, he really hopes that Wu Shan will die suddenly on the spot now so as not to stay in the court to harm the world.

"Wu said Jing?"

Xu Jie picked up the tea cup in his hand, and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face, muttering the name.

If what worried him the most was never the alliance between Yuan Wei and Dong Fen, but the golden combination of Wu Shan and Lin Qingran.

I thought that the younger one would "lock" and the older one would not interfere, but I never expected that Wu Shan would still have this muddy water.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Xu Fan asked curiously after conveying the most important news.

Xu Jie looked up at his son who was in high spirits of fighting, but gently put down the teacup, and immediately turned his back and said, "You can stay back to Taichang Temple and don't always run to me!"

"What about you?" Xu Fan had long been accustomed to his father's dislike, but asked curiously.

Xu Jie glared at his son with a reproachful look, but looked at Xu Fan's eyes full of peeping, but turned his head to look in the direction of Xiyuan and said, "I?...It's time to meet the emperor!"

"Dad, are you saying... you haven't reported this news to the emperor yet?" Yan Shifan stared at the unexpected words in disbelief.

But no one expected that Yan Shifan had been in the capital for a few days, but the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be unaware of it and did not report the matter to the emperor.

Just as everyone was jumping up and down, he chose to take action, but met Jiajing, who dominated everyone's fate.

However, this approach seems to be in line with Xu Jie's style. During the ten years he served as the sub-super of the Ming Dynasty, he was very respectful to Yan Song. It was when Yan Song fell out of favor from his age that he gave Yan Song a fatal blow.
