The sound is not loud, but the weight is not light.

The dignified and upright Minister of the Ministry of Finance only faced a question and actually asked the emperor to resign and return to his fields on the spot. This was a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years.

But precisely because this is a rare event, the impact is stronger.

Faced with Xu Jie's accusations of "confusing the Holy Spirit's hearing" and "washing himself out", he resolutely chose to resign from office to prove his innocence and show that he was fighting for justice this time.

Snap!

Xu Jie had just shown that he still had the pearls of wisdom in his hands, but when faced with Lin Haoran's sudden resignation, the smile on his face froze, and his eyes looked at Lin Haoran with shame.

Is this still the Lin Haoran he knows? Even if he exposes his thoughts, with his officialdom's thick skin, it is absolutely impossible for him to make such a reckless move.

After so many years of fighting in the court, he was forced to retreat, so he issued a pretentious memorial to resign. However, it was impossible to resign directly to the emperor.

Isn't it rare that he is not afraid that he will push him back to his hometown in Guangdong?

this……

Huang Jin, who was standing next to the red paint pillar, also clearly saw Lin Haoran's actions and discovered that the Ming Dynasty was not really filled with flattery officials, but there were also good officials who were loyal and patriotic.

If he had doubted Lin Haoran's motives just now, but seeing him resigning without hesitation, his heart was already leaning towards Lin Haoran again.

"Use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman!"

Li Chunfang seemed to get to know this former subordinate again. In order to clarify that he had no selfish intentions in the strategy of "suppressing the Zhenwu Camp", he had already resigned to prove his innocence. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Jie in a complicated manner.

Why……

Wu Shan glanced at Xu Jie, with a proud look on his face.

Facing Lin Haoran's resignation, Jiajing could not help but frown slightly, and seemed to be looking at Lin Haoran seriously.

Looking at Lin Haoran's various actions, he also realized that Lin Haoran's plan was the most appropriate. But he was no longer the young and determined king, but an old emperor who only wanted to be comfortable and cultivate the Taoism. What he wanted to do most at the moment was

Dedicate yourself to cultivating the mysteries.

However, he finally got to know the most capable Minister of the Ministry of Finance again, and he did not hesitate to take off his black hat to promote the most appropriate measures. If he is not a loyal minister, who can be a loyal minister?

Jiajing glanced at Lin Haoran who had taken off his black gauze hat, and then at Xu Jie who was sincere and solemn, but looked at Xu Jie with deep meaning and said: "Mr. Xu Ge, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Shangshu Lin is indeed young and energetic. However, Nanjing does not tolerate chaos. We can calm it down for the time being and then plan for it slowly! If we suppress it now, if something goes wrong, chaos will inevitably break out in the south. I, the chief minister, will be ashamed of myself.

Your Majesty is so kind to you, I will never give up even if I die!" Xu Jie was the one who understood Jiajing's thoughts best, and he also stood up and spoke sincerely.

At the end of the sentence, tears were still hanging on his cheeks, showing the image of a loyal old chief minister.

In fact, his judgment was correct. Although Lin Haoran showed enough loyalty, Emperor Jiajing was unwilling to take risks lightly. The most important thing at the moment was to cultivate Taoism.

Jiajing put down the memorial in his hand and asked bluntly: "I am asking you, should you accept Lin Shangshu's...resignation?"

"Since Lin Shangshu agrees with the court's political views, and the so-called forceful melon is not sweet, please the emperor allow him to resign!" Xu Jie knew Jiajing's intention, but he still said fiercely in his heart.

hehe……

Yan Ne listened to Xu Jie's answer and looked at Lin Haoran who was kneeling on the ground with schadenfreude.

It can be said that Lin Haoran has had a smooth journey since he entered the officialdom. At a young age, he has already been ranked as the second-rank Minister of Household Affairs. However, it was too easy to obtain this official position, and he did not cherish it so much.

Lin Haoran's seemingly brilliant act of loyalty, but with just a little effort on his part, would be enough to make Lin Haoran fall into a desperate situation and go back to his hometown in Guangdong.

Li Chunfang watched this scene and sighed secretly when she saw that Xu Jie had indeed pushed Lin Haoran out of the court.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Wu Shan was anxious and immediately pleaded for his son-in-law.

"Your Majesty, since Lin Shangshu wants to express his ambition by resigning from office, he should do what he wants!" The corners of Yan Ne's mouth raised slightly, seeming to add insult to injury.

He knew that Lin Haoran was self-defeating this time. Although he looked ugly, if he could send this plague god back to his hometown in Guangdong, it would be worth it.

Jiajing's brows showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he knew that everyone here wanted everyone to die. Now that Lin Haoran was taking the initiative to resign, it was not appropriate to say this.

"Your Majesty, you told me in the past: Horse power can only be seen from a distance, and people's hearts can be seen over time!" Xu Jie saw Lin Haoran's dissatisfaction and immediately said with a hand.

Jiajing was a smart man, and the common problem of smart people is that they think too much, but Xu Jie had already figured out Jiajing's thoughts, so he led the emperor in another direction at this time.

But I have to admit that Xu Jie is indeed the person who can best guess Jiajing's thoughts. However, Jiajing has been closed in the palace all year round and has no contact with the outside world, so he can always skillfully guide the emperor's thoughts.

Jiajing looked at Lin Haoran who put his black gauze hat on the ground, and felt a little hesitant for a moment.

Although he did think that Lin Haoran was a loyal minister, Xu Jie's reminder was not unreasonable. Only after getting along with this person for a long time can he truly know whether he is loyal or traitorous.

Now he has agreed to Lin Haoran's request, so that he can better see Lin Haoran's character, instead of taking retreat as a strategy like Yang Bo, and adopt the strategy he always likes to use: "The road is far away, and the time will tell the people's hearts."

"The way of looking at people.

But at this moment, a hurried little eunuch came in and reported: "To report to the emperor, Qian Chong, the eunuch of Nanjing Guarding Town, has just reported an urgent military situation!"

When Yan Ne heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Nanjing must have appeased Zhenwu Ying and settled the matter.

Jiajing paid great attention to the affairs in Nanjing and gave Huang Jin a look.

Huang Jin nodded understandingly, then hurried forward to get the military information and presented it to Jiajing.

The officials present had mixed reactions, but Xu Jie and Yan Ne were mostly optimistic. Wu Shan's face looked full of worry, but Lin Haoran remained indifferent.

Jiajing took the copy of the military information and slowly opened it. His eyes were quickly attracted by the content of the military information. A smile burst out on his face and he said: "Lin Aiqing!"
