In the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, it seemed silent at this time.

Lin Qingran held the tea cup and slowly splashed the steaming tea, and asked calmly: "Master Yuan Fu, I wonder what the crime of Mr. Xu impeaching you?"

this……

Li Chunfang, Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin knew that Lin Qiran wanted to expose Xu Jie's scars, but the three of them couldn't help but feel curious, but they turned their heads and looked at Xu Jie.

Although they were extremely shocked by Xu Zhi's memorial to impeach his own brother Xu Jie, they did not understand what kind of hatred caused Xu Zhi to impeach his chief assistant brother, but since Xu Zhi has submitted the memorial, it is natural that there are reasons and charges that are reasonable.

Xu Jie had read all the content of the memorial. He glared at Lin Qingran unhappily, and then he made up his mind to respond: "Xu Zhi impeached me and repeatedly suppressed him for the sake of his reputation. He had acted disrespectful to his parents and Xu Kun back then. Xu Ying was doing so many evil in his hometown under my banner!"

For the sake of taboo, although his fourth brother Xu Zhi passed the second-level Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, he kept keeping Xu Zhi away from the court, allowing his younger brother to retire in Nanjing and take care of his family.

But I never thought that this younger brother was still deceived by power. Xu Zhi was obviously unwilling to live his life in vain, and he was even more unwilling to be a victim of politics for his brother, but wanted to make achievements in his career.

Now, facing the examination of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Zhi has listed three crimes for his brother, and he wants to kill him.

ah?

Li Chunfang, Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin were actually listed in three crimes, but they couldn't help but look at each other and thought to themselves: Are these really a pair of brothers?

Xu Jie seemed to suddenly realize something, but turned his head and looked at the leisurely Lin Qiran and asked sternly: "Gei Master Lin, this time it was Zhu Heng who gave Xu Zhichao and others a test, but are you doing something behind the scenes?"

This is not an unreasonable guess. Nanjing and Beijing are thousands of miles apart, and their correspondence has never been easy, which is why the status of Nanjing officials is far inferior to that of Beijing.

It takes more than a month for some things that happened under the eyes of Beijing officials in Nanjing to know, and the accuracy of the news cannot be guaranteed.

Xu Zhi's impeachment seemed to have a cognitive misunderstanding. He obviously mistakenly believed that the Ministry of Personnel under his control gave him a test, but he did not know that the Ministry of Personnel was actually led by Lin Weiran.

If his brother, who had always been ambitious, received such a wrong message, such as propaganda, Zhang Juzheng served as Minister of Personnel and gave him a testimony and was bewitched by others, he might have submitted a memorial to impeach him.

That's right, someone has made a wonderful arrangement in Nanjing, and the most likely person is naturally Lin Ruoyu.

Huh?

When Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin heard Xu Jie's questioning and suspicion, they turned their heads and looked at Lin Weiran with some suspicion, but they quickly shook their heads and rejected this possibility.

After all, the capital is far from Nanjing. In this matter, we must not only seize the opportunity, but also grasp Xu Zhi's unwilling attitude, but also release fake news and bewitch Xu Zhi at the right time. The difficulty of the operation is too great.

That's true. No matter how good Lin Xuran is at his plan or how deep he is, he may not be able to manipulate Nanjing to complete this layout.

"Mr. Yuanfu, I don't know what you mean? Your brother wrote a memorial to impeach you. What does this matter have to do with me? Could it be that I can still instruct your brother to impeach you?" Lin Qingran took a sip of tea, but asked sarcastically.

Xu Jie believed that this matter was inseparable from Lin Qiran, so he pointed out the flaws and said: "In his memorial, Xu Zhi impeached me and repeatedly suppressed him for his reputation, and even defended himself for this test of the "Subsidy". It was obvious that he misbehaved that I acquiesced to the Ministry of Personnel to give him test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of the test of

When Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin heard this analysis, they looked at Lin Weiran suspiciously again.

If Zhang Juzheng took over as Minister of Personnel and gave Xu Zhi and others an examination, Xu Zhi might be angry and impeached his own brother Xu Zhi. However, Zhu Heng, the current Minister of Personnel, is Lin Qiran's person, and Xu Zhi should not be angry with his brother.

"Mr. Yuanfu, the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation was approved by the cabinet, and then all officials were announced. How can this matter be said to have nothing to do with Lord Yuanfu?" Lin Qi replied casually, and then said sarcastically: "Haha... Yuanfu suspected that the officials were making small moves, so it would be better to say that Xu Jie was a person who was not satisfied with the people's hearts and snakes swallowed the elephant. Although Xu Zhi was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, he had no outstanding performance during his tenure as the head of the Ministry of War, and the old master of this cabinet did not see any military talent. But now, Xu Zhi is already the third-rank right assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice. It is better to say that Yuanfu has been paying attention to him because he was suppressing his career. This move is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the good people's hearts!"

this……

Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin couldn't help but look at each other, but they heard Lin Qiran's voice-over. Not to mention that Lin Qiran was so blocked that Xu Jie had nothing to say, and even a needle was hidden in the cotton.

Xu Zhi is now in office as the right assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice. For Xu Zhi, this is naturally a kind of "suppression". But it can be seen from another perspective. After only fifteen years of official career, he has been in office as the right assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice. It can also be said that Xu Jie's "care".

The "needle" that hides needles in cotton is here. Although there has been a saying from ancient times to the present that "recruiting talent and not avoiding relatives", Xu Jiezhen admitted that taking care of his younger brother, those people in the civil service group would probably be able to directly spray Xu Jie to death.

Not to mention that Xu Jie was respected as a "virtuous prime minister", thanks to Xu Jie's inaction over the years, those officials would have mercy on their words if they didn't criticize Xu Jie as a "rifty prime minister" of Yan Song.

That's why Lin Qingran not only washed himself completely, but also dug a big hole for Xu Jie with his backhand.

Xu Jie felt Lin Shiran's eloquence again and found that Lin Shiran's silence just now in the morning court was not because the Ming Dynasty's first eloquence suddenly lost his skills, but because he did not have the same knowledge as Wang Zhi.

Facing Lin Shiran's sophistry and the hiding needle in the cotton, he clenched his fists unwillingly and clarified seriously: "Ge Lin is careful, I have never taken care of Xu Zhi!"

Seeing that Xu Jie was completely imposing, Guo Pu couldn't help but look at Lin Qiran in admiration.

"Haha... that's really puzzling! Mr. Xu has now been appointed as the Right Minister of Justice of Nanjing. This is the official position he dreamed of as a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. Why didn't he know how to thank the court for his grace, but instead accused Lord Yuan Fu of suppressing him for no reason?" Lin Qingran took a sip of tea, but deliberately sighed with a clear understanding.

Li Chunfang, Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin were already clear about it. The reason why this matter was caused was mainly because Xu Zhi's ambitions were inconsistent with the current situation.

If an ordinary Jinshi official from Jiajing for 26 years was undoubtedly satisfied that he could take the position of the right assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice in just fifteen years.

But for Xu Zhi, he was a second-class Jinshi and had a powerful prime minister, who should have had a brilliant resume.

But after decades of hard work, I finally got a fame and fortune, thinking that I could realize my lifelong ambitions. As a result, I didn’t get much real power in my career in fifteen years. My life was just like the wealthy and idle people in Nanjing. In the end, even Yan Shifan, who was born in an official position, would inevitably cause psychological imbalance.

The most hateful thing is that Li Chunfang, who passed the Jinshi exam in the same year as him, was dismissed from being appointed as a supporting officer, and even the junior Zhang Juzheng was about to enter the cabinet. This is really too annoying.

The same is true. There is already a cognitive bias in this matter. Perhaps everyone thinks that Xu Jie is taking care of his younger brother Xu Zhi, but Xu Zhi believes that Xu Jie is deliberately suppressing him.

Although Xu Zhi’s memorial to impeach Xu Jie was shocking, it was actually reasonable. At least in Xu Zhi’s personal opinion, his career was destroyed by his own brother and became a political victim of his brother.

Xu Jie looked at Lin Qinran deeply, but knew that when it comes to debate eloquence, he was no match for Lin Qinran at all, and he might have to suffer this mute loss this time.

Fortunately, things are not too troublesome! Whether it is Xu Zhi accusing him of suppressing him for his reputation, or his disrespect for his parents back then, or his two sons committing evil in their hometown, these are all unfounded accusations.

The most important thing is that he and Xu Zhi are brothers after all, and Xu Zhi may have known that there was a misunderstanding at this time, and it is impossible for him to really make a ruthless move on him.

That's why the biggest disadvantage of this matter is that I'm afraid I'll leave a little stigma, but I don't know how the history books in later generations will view me as a wise minister.

After Xu Jie clarified his thoughts, he gently put down the memorial in his hand and said gently to the people present: "This matter was originally a family matter of my Xu family, but he didn't want Xu Zhi to be implicated in the court because of a misunderstanding. I will go to Qianqing Palace to explain to the emperor in person!"

Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin naturally would not object, and nodded in cooperation.

Obviously, Xu Jie hopes that this matter can be turned into small things and small things, and deal with it in a relatively plain way.

Guo Pu's brows frowned slightly, but turned his head to look at Lin Weiran.

But before Lin Junran could react, Chen Hong, who had been watching the show next to him, suddenly said loudly to everyone: "Transfer to the emperor's oral order!"

When Xu Jie and others heard that Chen Hong had actually brought the oral order, they immediately stood up from the seat, but came to Chen Hong to kneel down to welcome the holy wish.

"The emperor said, don't kneel!" Chen Hong looked at Xu Jie's move to kneel down, but reminded him.

But whether it was intentional or coincidental, Xu Jie's legs were bent halfway, but suddenly he heard this sentence, which made him stop his kneeling motion, and as a result, he almost fell down because of this.

Guo Pu, Li Chunfang and others couldn't help but hold a smile, but stood behind Xu Jie and looked at Chen Hong curiously.

Chen Hong faced everyone's eyes, but looked at Xu Jie and said seriously: "Gei Master Xu, my brother has submitted a memorial to impeach you three crimes. Please submit memorial to yourself!"

this……

When Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin heard this order, they looked at Xu Jie next to them with complicated eyes.

This impeachment is not a big deal. With Xu Jie's current status and reputation, and with the difficulty of accusing Xu Jie of deliberately suppressing Xu Zhi, Xu Jie will definitely not fall easily.

However, facing this impeachment, the emperor actually ordered Xu Jie to submit a memorial, proving that the saint's relatives were getting farther and farther away from Xu Jie.

"I received the order!" Xu Jie also realized Long Qing's alienation to him, so he even respectfully replied.

He had actually realized this problem long ago. Although he successfully prevented the unscrupulous people from trying out Su Song, this time he finally prevented the implementation of the law promulgated by Longqing, which would have deteriorated his relationship with the monarch and ministers, and thus left certain hidden dangers.

But he never expected that this hidden danger would erupt so quickly that Long Qing deliberately embarrassed him with the memorial of his younger brother's impeachment.

However, after 45 years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he did not think that this impeachment would cause him to lose his post, but he was not too worried.

"The emperor's orders and miscellaneous families have been brought to you, and the memorials from the thirteen provinces of the two capitals are also a blessing. The miscellaneous families have said goodbye!" Chen Hong pointed to the pile of memorials behind him, and then turned around and left.

Xu Jie looked at Chen Hong's leaving figure, first sighed, and then instructed Li Chunfang: "Zi Shi, today my memorial will be handed over to you to write a ticket. I will go home and write a self-defense memorial!"

Because he was impeached by senior officials, especially this time it was his own brother's impeachment. Now the emperor ordered him to submit a memorial to himself, and he had to make a correct attitude to go home to reflect and submit a memorial to himself, and even a memorial to resign from retreat to advance.

"Sir, please obey the order!" Li Chunfang responded respectfully in response to Xu Jie's request.

Xu Jie followed the other two cabinet ministers and nodded slightly, but glared at Lin Qingran in anger, and then walked out loudly.

Li Chunfang watched Xu Jie leave Wenyuan Pavilion and knew that the cabinet meeting ended here. The amount of tasks he planned for today was several times that of daily life, but it was not an easy job.

"Sir, let's discuss it again!" Lin Qingran looked at Li Chunfang and asked someone to take the memorials back to the room, but said with a smile.

Li Chunfang and Lin Xuran said this, and immediately turned his head to look at Lin Xuran and asked in confusion: "Gei Master Lin, what else do you want to discuss?"

Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin also turned their heads curiously to look at Lin Qingran, but they didn't know which Lin Qingran was going to sing, and they didn't know what else to discuss.

"The Li Ke is involved in the rescue of Chen Boren in the middle and collecting money. Today, he is using his power to report public information. Please dismiss him!" Lin Weiran faced everyone's eyes, but said the matter with a smile.

What?
Chapter completed!
