Not too many times, the morning court was over.

Although the Xu Party's plan to promulgate the eldest son Zhu Yijun to enthrone the crown prince went bankrupt, Xu Jie's overcoming Hai Rui's impeachment crisis was a relatively good result for the Xu Party.

Although Lin Xu Ran failed to use Hai Rui's impeachment to give Xu Jie a fatal blow, Hai Rui's reputation as a direct minister has long been spread all over the world, and Xu Jie has been stained with a big and small political stain. This result

It's not a complete failure either.

The most important thing is that in the battle to become the crown prince, Lin Weiran further determined the leadership position of the civil servant group through his wonderful on-the-spot performance.

Longqing finally ended until the end of the morning court, but changed his yawning appearance, stood up from the dragon throne with great energy, and hurriedly left the Golden Palace.

After seeing Long Qing leave, the officials also got up from the ground one after another.

Many officials did not rush to leave, but instead cast friendly eyes at Lin Xuran and saluted as Lin Xuran turned around.

After the battle to establish the crown prince just now, they understood that Lin Junran was their most suitable leader. Only under Lin Junran's leadership can this kind of unqualified and unqualified matter of establishing the crown prince, and can protect the interests of their civil servant group.

.

Lin Qingran was originally worried that Xu Jie and Long Qing were obviously close to each other, but turned around and found that many officials saluted him, and then returned the salute gently.

Many things are a blessing in disguise. Although Xu Jie and Longqing are close, they have already received the support of more officials.

Unlike Xu Jie's obsession with imperial power, he prefers the position of leader of the civil service group and is more willing to be a powerful minister who can balance Longqing.

After all, if he wanted to change this corrupt dynasty, Longqing's favor alone would only end up like Shang Yang, Wang Anshi and others. Only by truly grasping power can he make drastic reforms.

After the officials greeted Lin Xuran, they prepared to return to their yamen office.

Since the New Year has begun, it is the busiest time period for all yamen, especially the Ministry of Rites needs to prepare for the next month's examination.

"Gemaster Xu, your actions today are not done by wise ministers. In the future, the empress will cause the emperor's legitimate son to disrupt the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Please be lost immediately and don't be safe in her later years!"

It was at this moment that an angry voice came, and the officials couldn't help but look at him and found that the person who was in trouble with Xu Jie was Pan Sheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Pan Sheng was the second place in Jiajing for 20 years. In his same year, Yan Ne, Chen Yiqin, Dong Fen and others had already reached high positions, and his official position undoubtedly seemed "short".

Although this Mr. Pan, who refused to write about the Qing Ci, had a low official position, he had a strong appeal in the Qingliu, and could be regarded as a veteran in the officialdom.

this……

When the officials saw Pan Sheng openly accusing Xu Jie, they were simply pointing at Xu Jie's nose and scolding, and they couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Huh?

Guo Pu and Lin Qingran were about to leave, but when they saw Pan Sheng openly attacking Xu Jie for the dispute over the establishment of the crown prince, they couldn't help but stop.

There is actually no absolute right or wrong in this matter. After all, if it is determined that the emperor's legitimate son will not appear, it is also a good idea to propose to enthrone the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun.

However, Xu Jie obviously wanted to "support" this time, but he did not communicate properly with Pan Sheng and other officials, and did not eliminate these doubts.

Just now, Lin Qingran rationally pointed out the order of the imperial court's establishment of the crown prince, and successfully prevented the enthronement of the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun, causing Xu Jie's plan to quickly support the eldest son to go bankrupt.

That's right, Xu Jie suffered his own hardship this time, but it attracted Pan Sheng's open attack, and even forced Xu Jie to "repent" in public.

Xu Jie is no longer the wise minister supported by all officials. He said with a gloomy face: "I am thinking about the stability of the Ming Dynasty. What's wrong with it? Mr. Pan, don't mess around here, right and wrong.

There are future generations who say it!”

"If you are so stubborn, let alone future generations insult you, people today will also scold you: The treacherous prime minister!" Pan Sheng still did not repent when he heard Xu Jie, but pointed at Xu Jie's nose.

A treacherous figure?

When the officials in the hall heard Pan Sheng giving Xu Jie the title in public, they couldn't help but stare at Pan Sheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, as if they were reexamined.

Pan Sheng is from Zhejiang. He looks tall and has a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of wind-catching ears. He is considered a more handsome official in the officialdom.

Thanks to his origin in the Hanlin Academy, he refused to write Qing Ci for Jiajing, so he was highly praised by the Shilin, and now he is the mainstay of the Qing school.

But no one expected that this left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been low-key, would have such a violent side, and would openly turn the virtuous prime minister Xu Jie into the treacherous prime minister Xu Jie.

In the officialdom, some people are greedy for power, and some people are seeking names.

Although Xu Jie is as greedy as the Yan Song period, Xu Jie may not care about his reputation. This is simply offending Xu Jie to death!

How could a small left minister of the Ministry of Rites offend the chief minister of the dynasty?

"Shilar Pan, don't say this nonsense! You cannot represent future generations, nor do you mean today's people. Now, my teacher's political views are not in line with your wishes, so how can you insult me? " Zhang Juzheng immediately saw that his subordinates committed a crime.

It is to scold.

When the officials in the hall saw Zhang Juzheng standing out, they couldn't help but look at Pan Sheng worriedly.

Although Pan Sheng is more qualified than Zhang Juzheng, this officialdom also requires superiors and subordinates. It is not appropriate for Pan Sheng to openly accuse Xu Jie. If he fights directly with his Shangguan, the gate of the Nanjing nursing home will be opened to Pan Sheng.

.

"Your master and disciple are originally a nest of snakes and rats. Since you are so stubborn, I will eliminate the thieves for the Ming Dynasty today!" Pan Sheng's anger was ignited, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward and said angrily.

ah?

When the officials saw Pan Sheng rolling up their sleeves, they never expected Pan Sheng to act so violently, and looked at the tall Pan Sheng in disbelief.

Xu Jie's face turned pale. Not to mention that he is not young, he is short and thin, but he is no match for the tall Pan Sheng at all.

At this moment, he could no longer care about the appearance of his chief assistant, and immediately retreated repeatedly and stopped loudly and said, "Don't come here!"

Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to rescue his teacher, but he was a scholar after all, but before he could stand in front of Pan Sheng, Pan Sheng was already heading towards Xu Jie.

"Gemaster Xu, here!" Huang Hua, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, reminded Xu Jie at the door.

Xu Jie was about to go there, but Pan Sheng had been guarding against him for this move, but he was the first to block Xu Jie's way, looking at Xu Jie angrily.

Xu Jie knew that Pan Sheng was not intimidating him, but knew that his small body was not Pan Sheng's opponent at all, but he retreated directly to the back.

Wang Shiju and Mengzhao reacted the most in time. When Lin Shiran searched for people with his eyes, he hurriedly ran to Lin Shiran's eyes very cleverly.

When Lin Xuran saw his two disciples, he immediately issued an order and said, "You hug Mr. Pan!"

Although he really wanted to see Pan Sheng beat Xu Jie up, he knew that once this matter was done, they would fall into a passive position, and Pan Sheng's black hat would definitely be out of control.

That's true, he not only couldn't watch Xu Jie be beaten, but also had to help Xu Jie. After all, saving Xu Jie was also saving Pan Sheng.

Pan Sheng had already clenched his fists and made a heavy blow.

Xu Jie was forced to fall to the front of the Hongqi cylinder. Seeing the fist coming, he felt his feet weak.

Wang Shiju and Meng Zhao had arrived, but they were each holding their waists and legs, and they exhorted loudly: "Mr. Pan, please calm down, impulse is a demon!"

"You two little brats, let go of me!" Pan Sheng was hugged by the two of them, and could only maintain a standing posture, but could not move forward any more, but said angrily.

Wang Shiju and Mengzhao were both people who respected their teachers and respected the Tao, but they did not dare to let go, and continued to persuade Pan Sheng to calm down.

"Shilar Pan, we can have political disputes, but your approach is inconsistent with etiquette and law. Please follow the etiquette!" Lin Qingran walked over and saw Pan Sheng who was unable to move, but warned seriously.

Although Pan Sheng could not move, he said dissatisfiedly: "This thief is clearly going to cause trouble in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he put down this black hat today, I will teach this thief a lesson!"

Zhang Juzheng had arrived, but he was protecting his teacher.

Although everyone wanted to watch the show, they knew that Pan Sheng would have serious consequences when he beat Xu Jie, and they also stepped forward to stop Pan Sheng's atrocities.

"There is no certainty in the matter of becoming a crown prince. Your current actions will only make people think that our skills are in poverty. We have not yet fallen to this point!" Lin Qingran said lightly to Pan Sheng, and then bowed to Xu Jie.

He said: "Old Master Xu, please don't be anxious about the enthronement of the eldest son of the emperor! If it is proved that our Ming Dynasty really won't be born with the emperor's legitimate son, we are also reasonable people!"

When the officials heard Lin Xuran's remarks, they nodded one after another.

As Xu Jie was eager for quick success and instant benefits, Lin Qingran was even more thorough in doing things. If it was confirmed that the queen could not give birth, then they would not stop it, and would not have conferred the eldest son as the crown prince without a clear conclusion like this.

Pan Sheng slowly calmed down, but knew that impulse could not solve the problem, and it was indeed not as good as he was going to attack Xu Jie.

Xu Jie felt clearly harsh when he heard "proficient and reasonable", but now Lin Shiran is no longer the Si Shilang of the past, but without responding to Lin Shiran, he left with a gloomy face.

Although the result of the morning court this day was not too bad, seeing all officials supporting Yu Lin Qiran, Pan Sheng once wanted to fight against him, but he knew that he was getting further and further away from the civil service group.

The most important thing is that once this matter was promoted, it was attacked by Hai Rui and Pan Sheng one after another. His reputation as a virtuous prime minister was really in danger.

When Lin Xu Jie left, he also asked everyone to let go of Pan Sheng and said, "Shilarious Minister Pan, although I have the same political views as you, your approach is inappropriate. Please don't commit it again!"

"Please remember!" Pan Sheng breathed a breath of turbid air and responded respectfully.

Guo Pu kept standing beside watching the battle, looking at Pan Sheng thoughtfully, and then left the Golden Palace with Lin Qingran.

It was sunny at the end of the first lunar month, and some snow was slowly melting, and there was some green on the ground.

On the way back to Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Qingran suddenly asked: "Mr. Guo, Pan Sheng's reaction today is too aggressive. Do he have a personal grudge with Xu Jie?"

Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is not uncommon for officials to fight, but it is rare for Pan Sheng to openly challenge the authority of the prime minister of the dynasty like Pan Sheng, so he suspected that there was a personal grudge in it.

"Nothing can escape your eyes!" Guo Pu looked at Lin Qiran with admiration, and then explained the reason: "Pan Sheng was the second best when he was young, and he was born with a good reputation, and his knowledge was outstanding. Yan Song recruited him back then.

After being rejected, Xu Jie was full of confidence and thought he could recruit Pan Sheng, but he didn't know that Pan Sheng regarded him as a bird of a feather between Yan Song. This was a common thing in the officialdom, but Xu Jie made a small report in front of the late emperor and said Pan Sheng from time to time.

Some bad words, over time, the late emperor hated Pan Sheng!”

"Pan Sheng entered the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin editor. It has been twenty-six or seven years since then, and he has only become the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites. But because of Xu Jie?" Lin Qingran also found that Pan Sheng's progress was indeed slow, but

He couldn't help but ask seriously.

"That's true! Xu Jie is a man who appears to be kind, but he is actually very stingy. In order to make Yan Ne squeeze out Pan Sheng's position, he also retaliated against Pan Sheng's rejection, but Yan Ne snatched Pan's side.

Sheng front!" Guo Pu Sissuo for a moment, nodding seriously.

When Lin Xuran heard this, he finally knew why Pan Sheng had such great resentment towards Xu Jie.
