It was almost noon. Although there was no sun in the sky, the light outside came in through the lattice window, making the side hall look very bright.

ah?

Zhang Juzheng twisted his sleeves and wrote in his pen, and was writing the neat words "Zhushi" with the tip of his pen. But suddenly he heard this familiar voice, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

A small drop of ink fell into the blank space of the will and immediately bloomed like a plum blossom.

Xu Jie stood beside Zhang Juzheng proudly, thinking about the praise he received from the will, and his face also showed joy. However, at the moment he heard this voice, his ever-soft gentle face immediately became

A little hideous.

If he has a choice, he will definitely let someone break into pieces and never appear in front of him, let alone give him the opportunity to destroy his good things.

A figure fell at the door, but the person who came was Lin Weiran, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Lin Xuran had actually stood outside for a long time, and at this time he chose to walk in, his whole face was slightly restrained, and his eyes seemed firm and persistent.

Although he was only the fourth-ranked cabinet minister, it was difficult for him to lead the content of the Jiajing imperial edict, but it was impossible for Xu Jie to eat alone.

That's right, he was actually always on guard against Xu Jie. Although Xu Jie was very clever in letting Li Chunfang act as a smoke bomb, this move could confuse Gao Gong, but he couldn't confuse him.

Zhang Juzheng was swept by Lin Junran's sharp eyes, and felt the power of the Master Lin, so he had to politely say: "You have met Master Lin!"

"Mr. Zhang, when did you become someone's clerk?" Lin Qingran stared at Zhang Juzheng as if he was picking soft persimmons, but he was sarcastic.

When Zhang Juzheng heard this sarcasm, his face turned slightly red.

It would be fine if this didn't happen, but Lin Qingran was caught by him. He was not one of the two important officials involved in drafting the will, but he was clearly a clerk of Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's good thing was knocked out by Lin Junran, and his face looked very ugly, but he took the initiative to question: "Gemaster Lin, this is Qianqing Palace. I wonder who announced that you entered the palace?"

Huh?

When Zhang Juzheng heard this question, he looked up at Lin Weiran in confusion.

Different from Wanshou Palace, the Qianqing Palace is a forbidden area in the inner palace. Even Lin Qingran was the prime minister of the current dynasty, he could not come here without being summoned.

"Haha, I wonder who Lord Zhang announced that he entered the palace?" Lin Qingran did not answer positively, but asked indifferently.

When Zhang Juzheng saw Lin Junran pointing his finger at him, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's face was slightly dark, and he explained lightly: "It's urgent to follow the power. Mr. Zhang is a bachelor's attendant from the Hanlin Academy. I called him over and draft the will together!"

"Master Yuan Fu, if you really want to draft a will, you should also summon all the cabinet ministers in the cabinet instead of calling you, your disciple?" Lin Qingran lacked the respect and accused him very bluntly.

The Ming Dynasty officialdom always adhered to a set of principles of "highness and orderliness". Usually, the cabinet ministers in the cabinet dominated national affairs, and the matter of issuing a lasting edict has long been agreed that it was jointly discussed by the cabinet ministers.

However, Xu Jie intended to abandon a group of cabinet ministers, and even abandoned the more qualified ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Hanlin Scholar Gao Yi, and chose to be the only disciples who were ranked as Hanlin Scholars. This action was undoubtedly extremely unfair.

suitable.

If it weren't for the Jiajing decree drafted by Xu Jie to greatly protect the interests of the civil servant group, Xu Jie's improper behavior would have probably been greatly criticized.

Of course, Xu Jie's wishful thinking was disrupted with Lin Junran's arrival, and things could not be allowed to be arranged like this anymore, and Zhang Juzheng was destined to be out of the way.

How could Xu Jie not know that this action is not in accordance with the rules, but he responded deliberately and vaguely: "I am the chief minister of the dynasty. I have my intention to make such arrangements!" After a pause, he questioned again: "Old Lin Ge , But you came to the Ganqing Palace without being summoned. Don’t you need to give Benyuanfu an explanation?"

Zhang Juzheng knew that he might be out, but he could not help but swallow and spit out secretly when he saw the two big guys confront each other. After hearing Xu Jie's questioning, he also looked at Lin Weiran in confusion. This really required one For a legitimate reason, otherwise Lin Weiran would probably be in trouble.

It was at this moment that a thick voice came in from outside the door and said, "Sir Yuan Fu, shouldn't you discuss with us about the matter of moving the palace so much?"

But he saw Gao Gong, who was walking in from outside the door, looked at Xu Jie with a black beard, and behind him were Li Chunfang and Guo Pu.

this……

When Zhang Juzheng saw the other three cabinet ministers appearing here, his eyes couldn't help but glar slightly, and he was stunned on the spot.

Xu Jie originally hoped that Lin Qingran would be charged with "trespassing in the Qing Palace". At this time, when he saw Gao Gong and the other two appear together, he couldn't help but say in confusion: "Why are you here too?"

The reason why he chose to move the palace was to see the supreme status of the Ganqing Palace, which was enough to block all the cabinet ministers, while he followed his disciple Zhang Juzheng to draft a will.

But I never expected that it would be fine if Lin Qingran suddenly appeared. Even Gao Gong, Guo Pu and Li Chunfang were present, and the matter was beyond his plan.

"Haha... why can't we come in!" Gao Gong responded proudly, and suddenly saw Zhang Juzheng in his eyes, but he said in confusion: "Why is Zhang Taiyue here too?"

"Master Yuan Fu is not good to write the will by himself, so he called his disciples to help write it!" Lin Weiran was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and immediately said sarcastically.

Help with writing?

Although Guo Pu had already guessed, when Lin Qiran confirmed it himself, he turned his head and looked at Xu Jie with great dissatisfaction.

Li Chunfang sighed secretly in her heart. Although he had already known the truth, seeing the matter exposed so much was equivalent to pulling Xu Jie's hypocritical mask away.

"Xu Huating, your actions are simply a rebellious!" Gao Gong was originally angry at Xu Jie's plan for him, but now after learning about his actions, he immediately cursed.

There was not a small movement here. Huang Jin and Feng Bao from the dormitory inside also walked towards this side after hearing the movement.

After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Xu Jie had already developed a face that was invulnerable to swords and guns, but he responded lightly: "My approach is in line with the rules of association. Why did you trespass the Qing Palace without being summoned by the emperor?"

His finger was once again directed at Lin Qingran and others. Now that the emperor is critically ill, it is naturally impossible to summon Lin Qingran and others to the palace, so Lin Qingran and others are not legal at all.

Zhang Juzheng also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Junran and others calmly.

"This is the imperial decree of our palace!"
