The matter of adding cabinet ministers had been raised before the provincial examination, but Wu Shan, the most promising minister of the Ministry of Rites, was suspected of fraud, so the matter was stopped.

Since Jiajing was not enthusiastic about the affairs of his cabinet ministers, and Yan Song and Xu Jie did not promote it, it was delayed until now.

However, since Yan Song has proposed it, the matter of adding cabinet ministers will be restarted.

"Then according to your request, let's set a date for the trial!" Jiajing readily agreed. As if something suddenly occurred to him, he asked: "How is the investigation into the fraud in the Guangdong Provincial Examination?"

Yan Song seemed to have something to say, and he said in a loud and clear voice: "Report to the Holy Lord, although there has been no progress in this matter, I think it has nothing to do with Wu Shan! Wu Shan is an honest and fair official, and he has been favored by the Holy Lord. How could he commit such evil deeds?

!”

Xu Jie glanced at Yan Song and saw that Yan Song was so protective of Wu Shan. He thought to himself: Could it be that Wu Shan had changed his temper and was willing to endure being stabbed in the back in order to join the cabinet, and instead defected to the enemy of Kill Master?

Jiajing originally believed that Wu Shan could not be stupid and do such a stupid thing like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons, but his voice changed and he said: "Censor Zou Yinglong impeached Lin Haoran for colluding with Wu Shan for fraud. What do you think about this?"

Obviously, although the words were addressed to the two of them, the target of the attack was undoubtedly directed at Xu Jie.

"Your Majesty, Zou Yinglong impeached Lin Haoran for alleged fraud, and the ministers thought it was just a slander by an intentional person!" Xu Jie immediately replied loudly.

Jiajing didn't look like Xu Jie was instructing Zou Yinglong. His face softened slightly and he said: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it! I'm not blind, so how could I not know that this is slander, and the same is true for Wu Shan!"

Xu Jie secretly sighed in his heart. Now that the matter has reached this point, no matter what the truth of the provincial examination is, Wu Shan and Lin Haoran can no longer be attacked.

Yan Song didn't care, but glanced at Xu Jie thoughtfully, wondering why Xu Jie asked Zou Yinglong to sing this song.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Xu Jie flattered him, but then changed the subject: "Lin Haoran is indeed a rare good talent, but he was born in Guangdong and now presides over the Guangdong Provincial Examination. It is inevitable that he will fall into the trap of forming cliques for personal gain.

I think we should protect him and transfer him back to the capital!"

Huh?

When Yan Song heard these words, he could tell that Xu Jie wanted to drag Lin Haoran back to the capital and get involved in the whirlpool of the struggle in the capital.

However, Xu Jie is an old fox. I'm afraid this is only the first step. There will definitely be other tricks to deal with Lin Haoran.

It's just that Lin Haoran was transferred back, which doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Although he can't use it for himself, it might be able to help him contain Xu Jie.

"How long has Lin Haoran been left outside?" Jiajing answered completely.

"Replying to Your Majesty, it has been more than three years!" Xu Jie reacted faster and replied immediately.

"More than three years, it's indeed quite a long time!" Jiajing nodded slightly, but still had not made up his mind, but looked at Yan Song and asked, "Weizhong, what do you think?"

Listening to this question, Xu Jie's eyes clearly filled with jealousy, but it was fleeting.

"Old minister seconded the proposal!" Yan Song had already made up his mind and immediately expressed his support.

"Okay, then let's transfer him back to Beijing!"

Jiajing originally wanted to wait until Lin Haoran returned to Beijing to resume his duties next year before keeping him in the capital. However, Lin Haoran presided over the Guangdong New Science and Technology Provincial Examination, and it was indeed not suitable to stay in Guangdong for a long time, so he agreed to Xu Jie's plan.

Xu Jie's eyes flashed with joy, and he naturally did not have good intentions when he transferred Lin Haoran back. On the one hand, he did not want Lin Haoran to continue to grow in Guangdong; on the other hand, he wanted to drag Lin Haoran into the whirlpool and completely destroy him.

Got him.

Regarding the whereabouts of a small fourth-grade local official, it was undoubtedly a trivial matter here, and it was completely decided in a few seconds.

Next, the three of them discussed the matter of recapturing Juyongguan.

In the blink of an eye, September is coming to an end.

There are not many major events in Guangdong. The original historical turmoil caused by the ban on silver has disappeared, and the place now presents more of a peaceful and prosperous life.

Leizhou in the early days, Xiangshan later, Foshan now, and Guangzhou at a higher level all present a scene of blooming flowers, making the people of Guangdong become more and more prosperous.

It also achieved good results in annihilating Zhang Lian's rebels.

Zhang Zhen mobilized 76,000 officers and soldiers to gather in Longchuan. Hu Zongxian learned that Zhang Lian had not returned from afar, so he ordered Yu Dayou to lead 15,000 men secretly to Baisong Ridge to attack Zhang Lian's stronghold.

Zhang Lian returned to the army for first aid, but was defeated by Yu Dayou, who beheaded more than 1,200 people.

Compared with the brave and skilled Japanese pirates, the strength of the rebels was indeed much lower. They did not have an advantage over the Ming army. However, this record could not be compared with Shi Huashan's military exploits.

However, after this battle, Zhang Lian's strength was once again frustrated, and he realized the truth. Let alone overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, if the land they were in was not dangerous, they would have been destroyed by the Ming army long ago.

Due to Lin Haoran's accidental factors, Zhang Lian's tribesmen fled to Guangzhou City to make a living, and some capable officers directly led people to defect to the United Merchant Group. As a result, the strength of the Feilong Kingdom continued to suffer, and destruction was inevitable sooner or later.

Guangzhou government office, sign a mortgage house.

Lin Haoran, wearing a scarlet official robe, was sitting at the table, facing the official letters and documents on the table, and was working seriously.

It's just that those who are interested will definitely find that Lin Haoran has obviously stepped up his deployment recently. He always summons subordinate officials and puts aside many detailed tasks.

Especially when it comes to population registration, he is very strict. He has also formulated strict regulations for this purpose, strictly requiring workshops to recruit people with status.

In order to escape from corvee labor and other factors, many people became black households. However, these black households often became slaves in order to survive, encountered various unfair treatments, and were an important source of some bandits.

Lin Haoran did not want Guangdong to fall into turmoil, so he opened the door wide and encouraged more black households to register, so that their personal safety would be greater guaranteed and they would have a stronger sense of belonging to this country.

In his view, the best way to resolve the turmoil in Guangdong is for the yamen to truly care for the people here.

"Yes!" Murong just handed over his hand, then turned and left the signing room.

Just then, when I walked out of the door, I was startled, but I almost bumped into Huniu who was running back from outside.

Huniu looked extremely anxious. When she was avoiding Murong Gang, she had not yet breathed out, but she walked into the signing room again with her heavy legs.

It was dark in front of the door, and a familiar little figure bumped in, but Lin Haoran glanced at her calmly. He was already used to this wild girl who was eager to flirt.

"Hu Niu, what happened again?"

Lin Haoran looked at her out of breath and asked helplessly.
