The next morning, the housekeeper of the Xu family personally took people to the Tongzheng Envoy Department and handed over the resignation memorial written by Xu Jie last night, and then left with the receipt.

"Geor Xu really wants to submit a memorial to resign!" Seeing this, the Tongzheng Envoy and some officials who came to submit memorials couldn't help but stare at the eyes and said in surprise.

Since the incident of Wang Jun, the head of the official department, impeaching the chief assistant of the dynasty, had spread yesterday. Xu Jie was absent from the morning court today, many officials had predicted that Xu Jie would submit a memorial to resign.

Although everyone had already made some predictions, when they saw with their own eyes that Xu Jie was really going to hand in the resignation memorial, the officials around were shocked.

Some officials were like Xu Jie expected, and their faces showed incredible expressions.

Everyone has always known that Xu Jie wanted to get rid of Lin Xu Ran, but they did not expect that Lin Xu Ran had such amazing strength and was going to get rid of Xu Jie.

From instructing his disciple Wang Jun to submit a memorial to impeachment, to Xu Jie's memorial to submit the memorial, Lin Qingran is already one step away from "success".

Tongzheng and Envoy Department, this is a rare yamen that gathers together to work.

Xie Dengzhi, the Zuo Tongzheng envoy who was sitting upright at the main table in the main hall, was a member of Xu's party, but immediately issued an order: "This is the memorial of the chief minister. You don't need to check it, and you will seal it and send it to the Da Nei!"

The official who originally wanted to check the content of the memorial on the grounds that the memorial was based on the basis of checking that the memorial was in compliance with the instructions, but he silently exchanged a look, but could only follow Xie Dengzhi's instructions.

Several officials from the Tongzheng Department of the Communist Party of China put Xu Jie's memorial into the box, and then under the surveillance of other officials, the box filled with memorials was sealed and handed over to the other officials to escort the large box to the Lijian Documents Office.

With the rise of the status of the Silijianwen Office, the Tongzhengsi has become the biggest victim of political struggles and has often become a clear-water yamen that transfers memorials.

The memorial was not delivered to the palace, and the outside world was already in an uproar.

"The Chief Auxiliary is the Dinghai Dingjian Needle of the Ming Dynasty. How can a small staff member arrange it like this!"

"The past has its own way, but now it is obvious that these old things are to disturb the government's affairs."

"Ge Xu is always a good minister who is worried about the country and the people. If his departure is the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty, would you like to submit a memorial to the emperor to help him retain a good minister?"

...

As the news of Xu Jie's resignation spread, officials led by the Xu Party pointed the finger at Wang Jun, and invited colleagues from both sides to submit memorials to try to keep Xu Jie.

It is very common for an official to submit a memorial to resign. Almost every official in the capital has made such a move. Generally speaking, the more officials who submit memorials to retain it, the more it can prove the status and reputation of the tycoon of the court. The emperor is often more afraid and will choose to retain it.

Although Xu Jie has not made any achievements in so many years, he is a political master who wins over the hearts of the people. If Lin Junran had not emerged from the sky, he would have really been like a certain censor said: "Only by raising friends and being favored, and being good at doing great things, the world only knows that there is a rank, but not your Majesty."

Despite this, Xu Jie also had a strong "mass base", and many officials responded and submitted memorials to Xu Jie to retain him.

Of course, the reason why many neutral factions choose to retain Xu Jie is largely because they know that Xu Jie is close to Long Qing, and that this level of impeachment cannot defeat Xu Jie at all.

Looking at the causes and consequences of this matter, the impeachment of Wang Jun is nothing.

Whether Xu Jie supports Jiajing’s Taoism, Xu Jie’s main force rebuilding Wanshou Palace, or other matters impeachment, there is certain controversy over whether these matters are right or wrong.

Just like if you insist that the other party is not a good person, the other party is really not a good person, but if you can't provide evidence, it is a random speculation or even a slander.

In particular, Wang Jun's opponent was Xu Jie, the most cunning politician in the Ming Dynasty. Even Xu Jie's military inaction, such as Xu Jie's earlier indulgence on rebels such as Wei Yinbao, causing greater harm to local people.

Xu Jie also had a set of effective statements: "Since the Song Dynasty, the army was under the Privy Council, and the use of military affairs was appropriate. The prime minister had no choice but to do so. Those who heard about it came. Our court replaced the Prime Minister and set up six ministers, and the military affairs were all returned to the Ministry of War, and the office of the cabinet minister was decided."

It is precisely through this seemingly clear reason that he completely outstripped his military inaction and even military mistakes during the Jiajing Dynasty.

The same is true. With the instigation of Xu Party officials and Xu Jie's disciples, many memorials that tried to retain Xu Jie flew towards the Forbidden City.

Sixth Department Corridor, in the Department of Officials.

Wang Jun was busy dealing with the affairs at hand as usual, but he was watching the changes in personnel affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, thus finding some unreasonable appointments and then attacking.

From Zhu Heng, Minister of Personnel to the chief officials below, as long as there is an inappropriate appointment, they will record it carefully, and then confirm whether there are any money transactions and other situations.

"Prince Yong!" Xu Gonglin, the clerk of the Criminal Department, rushed in with more than a dozen clerks, and called out Wang Jun's words without emotion on his face.

As a child of a military family, Wang Jun has excellent psychological qualities, but he looked up at Xu Gonglin, who seemed to be punished by a provocation and said, "Secretary Xu, don't know what happened?"

Wang Zhi was also handling the affairs at hand in the hall. Seeing Xu Gonglin coming with a group of scholars, he couldn't help but look up at this side in confusion.

"It is well known to everyone that the king was advised to impeach Yuan Fu. However, Yuan Fu is known as a wise minister, but he doesn't know what kind of grudges you have with Yuan Fu. He even ignored the stability of the country and made private complaints?" Xu Gonglin faced the entire official department's gaze, but stared at Wang Jun and questioned.

this……

The officials and officials were all in charge of the official department, and the officials and officials, Zheng Dajing couldn't help but exchange a look. Although they all knew that Xu Gonglin was Xu Jie's person, they did not expect that Xu Gonglin would openly stand up for Xu Jie.

Wang Jun frowned slightly, but said with a little ridiculous expression: "This official impeachment of the cabinet is the responsibility of the official, and the impeachment is also a matter of investigation. Where did the private complaints come from? As for the stability of the country, I wish I could say: Even if there is no cabinet Xu in the Ming Dynasty, there are cabinet Li, cabinet Guo and the cabinet. "I paused, but I said with a defensive and offensive attitude: "It's just that Section Chief Xu brought many colleagues to seek punishment, but I don't know whether it is for the sake of national justice or to repay someone's favor for promotion?"

The next sentence intentionally aggravated the tone and suddenly rang in the Department of the Official Affairs Department.

Wang Zhi, the minister of the official department, and Zheng Dajing, the minister of the official department, could not help but secretly gave him a thumbs up when he heard Wang Jun’s fight back, and found that he was really worthy of being a disciple trained by Master Lin.

There were also many scholars outside the door who came to hear the news. When they heard Wang Jun retorting, they couldn't help but immediately noticed a burst of laughter.

Xu Gonglin's face was as deep as water, but he said hatefully: "Prince Yong, no matter how clever you speak, you can't erase the fact that you use to complain about private grievances!" Speaking of this, he looked at the people present with pride and shouted: "As far as I know, you fell in love with a teahouse girl three years ago, and it was time to exchange for love tokens. But I didn't expect that when you returned from a business trip, Mr. Xu took the teahouse girl as his concubine. It was Mr. Xu who took the love for you with a knife, which caused you to target Lord Yuan Fu everywhere, and now you use to complain about private grievances!"

The struggles in the officialdom are often complicated. When Wang Jun wrote a memorial to impeach Xu Jie, the crimes related to Wang Jun were also collected by people from the Xu Party.

But Wang Jun liked the tea girl in Songluo Teahouse, and the two of them were in love. But the tea girl was attracted by Xu Kun and eventually became Xu Kun's concubine.

This was originally a relatively secret matter, but it was revealed to Xu Dang, who had great powers. In turn, Wang Jun was complaining about Xu Jie with private complaints.

Huh?

Wang Zhi, the minister of the official department, and Zheng Dajing, the minister of the official department, heard this secret, and could not help but turn his head and look at Wang Jun.

I thought Wang Jun respected his teachers and respected the truth, so I was willing to be driven by Lin Junran to submit a memorial to impeach Xu Jie, but I didn't expect that Wang Jun and the Xu family had such a grudge.

A trace of pain flashed across Wang Jun's eyes, and he looked at Xu Gonglin and said, "My memorial to impeach Master Xu has nothing to do with this, and this happened three years ago!"

"This is indeed three years ago, but as for you not marrying, you can be said to have a deep affection!" Xu Gonglin was already sure of winning, and seemed proud and authentic.

this……

When the staff present heard this inference, he thought that Wang Jun had indeed rejected the family affection that all parties had arranged for him over the years, and it turned out that he was a person trapped by love.

If this is the case, then Wang Jun’s memorial to impeach Xu Jie might have been accused of complaining.

"It's really abominable. This kind of villain is a shame for the Tao!"

"We eat the king? We are worried about the king. How can we attack the virtuous prime minister of the dynasty because of our children's affair!!"

"Ke Dao should adhere to the word "fairness". If I report private complaints, I will submit a memorial to impeach Wang Ziyong!"

...

After confirming that Wang Jun was indeed trapped by love and complained with private complaints, the servants who followed Xu Gonglin all blamed him and resolutely regarded Wang Jun as a scum who took revenge on the wise prime minister of the dynasty for jealousy.

Wang Zhi looked at Wang Jun, who seemed extremely painful, and then questioned: "Secretary Xu, since you can even dig out the past three years ago and accused Wang Jijian, I dare to ask a teahouse woman who is unwilling to marry the official secretary of the current dynasty, but chose to be a concubine for the second son of the Xu family. Why is that?"

Huh?

As soon as this said, it was a word that woke up the dreamer. Only then did everyone realize that there was something strange about this matter.

Compared with Wang Jun, Xu Kun was far behind in terms of knowledge and appearance. Especially the concubine of the second generation ancestor and the wife of the Ming Dynasty's Kedao censor, there was no ambiguity at all.

But according to Xu Gonglin's statement, the teahouse girl chose Xu Kun. This was not a normal choice at all, and there was undoubtedly a greater hidden secret.

"She naturally listens to her parents' orders and matchmakers' words!" Xu Gonglin's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but he responded with a stinging bullet.

Zheng Dajing, the director of the Left School of the Literary Department, snorted coldly and mocked him in person: "Who is a parent who has a talent like Wang Jiajian, but he wants his daughter to be a concubine for the second son of the Xu family. But there are ten concubines in the second son of the Xu family!"

When things got here, the wind had already turned, and everyone's finger was already directed at the Xu family.

"What's the matter to cover up? It must be that Mr. Xu, who is bullying others with his power!"

"If you really want to argue that the king is holding a private complaint for the admonishment, then the Ministry of Justice will check whether Mr. Xu is bullying others with his power!"

"Who wants to be the tenth concubine of the second son of the Xu family? I think Mr. Xu has to be guilty of being incompetent in the education of his children!"

...

Feng Chengneng and others have arrived at the engineering department. After seeing the development of the situation, they are not afraid of Xu Jie, and they blame each other.

After many cleanings, the Xu system's guild has declined, and the Lin system's guild has already occupied the advantage of the number of people. Now it is even more rational, so it naturally makes big accusations.

As for Xu Kun's bullying, both sides also knew it well.

The Longqing Dynasty was fine, and Gao Gong and Lin Qingran suppressed the Xu family one after another. However, the Xu family during the Jiajing Dynasty could be said to be a hand covering the sky. The Xu Party was the dominant family and was mixed up with the Shanxi Gang, so no one could challenge Xu Jie at all.

At that time, Xu Kun came to the capital. With the power of the Xu family, he took away love with his sword. Not to mention that it was a shame to Wang Jun, but to the Censors present, wasn’t it a shame to them?

That's right, Xu Gonglin originally came to seek punishment, but found that the clown was actually them, so he left in shame with his tail between his legs.

However, this storm by Kedao did not affect the court, and the people who really had decision-making power were always upper-level figures.

Huaishu Hutong, Xu Mansion.

Xu Jie was in the tea room in the study, but kept looking towards the gate.

I thought I could take the opportunity to take a break today, but I also planned to sleep in a lazy sleep, but he woke up earlier than usual today. When I learned that the resignation memorial had been sent to the Tongzheng and I felt even more restless.

It was also at this time that he found that he could not live without power, and he did not blame Yan Song for not leaving until he was 84 years old.

In the afternoon, a sharp voice finally came from the front yard and said, "The imperial edict is here!"

When Xu Jie heard this sound, he felt like he had been stabbed with an injection, jumped up from the chair and immediately rushed towards the main hall.

Meng Chong, who came to issue the imperial edict, had a closer relationship with Xu Jie, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Jie was relieved and led his family and slaves to welcome the order.

Meng Chong did not keep his guard, so he immediately read the imperial edict in his unique voice: "You are loyal to the ministers, and have good deeds in the country, and have great merits and good deeds from both China and abroad. I am hereby following the throne and relying on the right side. You should make full efforts to support the principles of transformation and practice, but you will not agree to it."

The general idea is very simple: You are the chief assistant who assists me, who serves the country with loyalty and outstanding achievements, and the attention of both China and foreign countries. My succession to the throne is the heart of using people, so I would like to refuse and disagree.

"I will accept the order, long live my emperor!" After hearing the reply he was looking forward to, Xu Jie seemed to habitually act like a grateful look to follow the order.
Chapter completed!
