Under the operation of the Xu Party, the carefully prepared memorial was soon placed on the desk of Emperor Jiajing.

Whether it is Yinglong, the chief clerk of the Censorate, Zhang Juzheng, who is writing books, the humble words of raising children at home, or Xu Jie, who is working in the cabinet, they are nervously waiting for the final result.

Time flies so slowly. Half a day is as long as half a year. Until noon, a eunuch came to Wuyi Hall to spread a message, saying that Your Majesty asked Mr. Xu to come over.

Xu Jie knew that the emperor's decision had come out, so he tidied up his clothes without saying a word and followed the palace servant to the Ziguang Pavilion where the emperor temporarily lived. After reporting, the door of the palace slowly opened and Xu Jie went in to pay respect for his respect. The emperor asked him to get up, and Huang Jin quickly brought Jindun and asked Mr. Xu to sit down. "Since the fire, Jiajing gave Xu Jie a gift to the emperor facing the Saint Shi Er to sit on Jindun, which made him go along with Mr. Yan in this regard.

The king and his ministers were in opposition. However, Jiajing did not say the memorial of Yinglong, but instead called Xu Jie to come forward and said, "I wrote a few words today. Cunzhai came over and took a look. Can I still take it out?" Cunzhai was Xu Jie's study name, and it was more polite than calling him a name.

Xu Jie quickly got up from his seat, took a respectful step, and came to the imperial desk. He saw a piece of rice paper pressing under the paperweight above, and two thin and powerful words on the paper said, "Hug it. Seeing these two words, he nodded repeatedly. His face showed admiration, but he quickly turned his mind. He wanted to crack the true meaning behind it.

Xu Jie has served the emperor for almost ten years, so he naturally knows that Jiajing is smart and cautious, and always likes to hide the true meaning in some simple words and let the people below guess. This is not all for the sake of making mystery, but also a way for Jiajing to test whether his subordinates can communicate with his own heart and whether he can accurately understand the sacred intention.

Therefore, Xu Jie must accurately judge the attitude of the emperor today from these two words. Fortunately, this time it was not difficult. Xu Jie's well-educated scholars naturally knew that these two words came from the "Tao Te Ching", saying: "If you are bent, you are straight, if you are silly, if you are silly, if you are silly, if you are silly, if you are silly, if you are singular, if you are singular, if you are singular, if you are singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if you are not singular, if

As he savaged the saint's words, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel nervous and thought to himself, did the emperor mean that I wanted me to take a step back in this matter and not to force each other too much? Don't fight with Master Yan again?

"Why don't you speak?" Jiajing said at this time, "Is the words in the couplet so bad?"

"Oh, the emperor was joking." Xu Jie came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Watching the imperial pen at the banquet. The pen is like a silkworm sprinkling silk, and the bones are as strong as cotton wrapped in iron. It is like picking in the spring forest and the elegance of flying sky. It is a great enjoyment in life. Even though Zhao Meng is upset and He Zhizhang's rebirth is not the case."

“Haha, Cunzhai is too famous.

"Jiajing smiled happily and said, "If you like it, I will give this character to you."

Xu Jie hurriedly felt a little grateful, and Huang Jin carefully took the word off, sent it back to Sili Supervisor's skill, and then sent it to his duty room.

After evaluating the emperor's name, Xu Jie returned to his seat. Only then did Jiajing show him the memorial of Yinglong from his subordinates and asked, "What do you think of the current censor impeaching Shang Aiqing of the Ministry of Works?"

Xu Jiexin said: "I have never seen you ask anyone before. I dare not neglect at all, so I quickly opened it and read it. In fact, it was just pretending to be the content of the memorial. He had read it a few days ago before the emperor.

After a while, he closed the memorial and handed it back to the eunuch on the side, saying that he had finished reading it.

Jiajing asked: "My dear minister is in charge of the cabinet and is the officials. What should I do if I think this matter should be done?"

"Report to the Emperor" Xu Jie quickly said: "The Censor impeached the auxiliary is a major matter for the country. He should investigate and deal with the matter quickly and make the Ge Lao Yan clear his innocence."

"What I mean is," Jiajing looked at him with a smile and said, "Old Yan Ge belongs to Qing Ran. But Yan Bu Tang is not, right?"

"This" Xu Jie couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. The emperor's slaughtering command was still in front of him. He didn't dare to say it casually, and then said softly: "Before the investigation is clear, anyone is innocent."

"Hehe, it's true that he is the old man of Licorice." Jiajing laughed when he heard this.

Xu Jie's old face turned red and said, "Thank you the emperor's reputation, licorice is gentle and peaceful, which is in line with the way of embracing oneness by the saint."

"Not bad, not bad." Jiajing looked at him with approval, as if he was satisfied with Xu Jie's ability to understand the holy intention. After a change of tone, he said slowly: "All this is Yinglong's remarks seem to be not lies. I have heard of Yan Shifan's actions for a long time."

Xu Jie nodded quickly and said, "The emperor is wise. I also heard that Yanbutang seemed to have a lot of fun during the mourning period, and my grandson-in-law Yan Que and his cousin returned home were also a little distorted." Xu Jie was low-key and low-key, but he would never miss the opportunity to take eye drops and talk about Yan Er, who had a relationship with him, which was obviously very convincing.

Jiajing's expression turned **: "Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration to kill Yan Shifan and his son."

Jiajing said it ruthlessly, but Xu Jie did not dare to applaud. To be fair, he certainly hoped to kill all the men of the Yan family, but he was worried that if the Wu Tan performed too fiercely, he might be suspected by the emperor. He was huerao! "Yan Ji is my grandson-in-law, and I don't want the rumors to be true, but if the verification is true, then I will not inquire about my personal affairs and deal with such evil animals strictly!"

The wonderful thing about this is that it shows his in-laws and relationship with the Yan family, thus clearing away his suspicion of framed by the Yan family, and establishing his own fair but humane image. Only in this way can Jiajing stop thinking about "party struggles and thus focus on the incident itself.

Finally, Jiajing finally made up his mind and said to Xu Jie: "This memorial from the help of Yinglong will come to the world, and order the three courts to investigate the matter and report the truth as soon as possible."

"I obey the order." Xu Jie took the order." One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by

Xu Jie received the order and returned to the duty room from Ziguang Pavilion. Seeing the words given by the emperor, it was already on the big table. He stood in front of the word "光" for a long time. Finally, he understood Jiajing's meaning thoroughly. This is teaching himself how to be the prime minister of a country! In other words, the emperor has decided to replace Master Yan!

But at the same time, Jiajing also warned him, "It's only not to fight. Therefore, no one in the world can compete with him. The prerequisite for him to successfully take over the power is "not to fight.! You are not allowed to make things difficult for Master Yan, and you are not allowed to make a breakthrough.

Xu Jie was staying there, and Zhang Juzheng was here.

Zhang Juzhengxiu's "Xingdu Zhi" was also in Xiyuan. He was anxious and smoked all morning and did nothing. When he inquired about Mr. Xu's return, he rushed over and asked for information.

Xu Jie looked at the Western clock in the corner. It was half past noon, so he ignored Zhang Juzheng's questioning and said, "Go to have dinner with me." Zhang Juzheng had to follow him in a depressed manner and went out of the west side and came to the restaurant where he had last time. It was the room where he last time. After ordering the dishes, he left the left and right before the father and the other two started talking.

"Teacher, can you always say it now?" Zhang Juzheng said.

"Yes." Xu Jie nodded slowly and said, "The emperor means, let the three courts find out the matter first."

"What?" Zhang Juzheng changed his face suddenly and said, "He Bin, Minister of Justice, a member of the Party! The Minister of Dali Temple Wan Cai, a backbone of the Party! The Censor of the Left Capital Hu Zhi, a backbone of the Party! Let all the Party of Yan investigate the Party, and only if the problems are found will there be ghosts!" As he said, he complained, "Teacher, why don't you argue with reason?"

"I can't fight," Xu Jie sighed and said, "When you are a saint, the emperor will put two words in front of me."

"What two words?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Hug it," Xu Jie sighed again, "How dare I think about it when the saint hug it?"

Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and he said softly: "It seems that the emperor wants both sides to take a step back and make a smooth handover." Xu Jie nodded without saying a word.

"This is not possible," Zhang Juzheng continued: "The Yan Party is not just a father and son of the Yan family, but a force, an unprecedented treacherous party. If the Yan family father and son retreat decently, they can still command their subordinates in the opposition and continue to do evil. How can they be worthy of Yang Jisheng and the others' sacrifice?" Over the past few hundred years, the number of scholars has increased sharply, and has become a very clear and independent class. In the court, the party will fight against the differences and govern the world, and in the opposition, educate the people and demote the government. Their role definitions are becoming clearer, and self-awareness and political personality are becoming increasingly mature. There is huge energy in both court and in the court. Therefore, it is nothing to dismiss the opponent, because they still have huge influence, and they can even make a comeback at any time. Only by completely denying politically and completely slandering the opponent can it be considered the final victory.

So when Zhang Juzheng heard that Xu Jie actually compromised with the Yan Party, he suddenly became anxious and said, "Yan Song and his son have always been favored by the emperor. You know the emperor's character best. The orders are changing every day and unpredictable. Today I get angry and have to deal with them. Maybe tomorrow I will remember what happened when I was in front of Ge Lao Yan. I may turn my holy intention back and say, "I can't defeat them at that time, and I will ask them to hold a grudge against them. I will definitely suffer tragic revenge!"

After hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Xu Jie fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded slowly and said, "What you said is also reasonable, and it is hard to guarantee what the emperor will think tomorrow."

"It's time!" Zhang Juzheng said happily: "Teacher, please break it!"

"Okay." Xu Jiehe said: "I'll go for a walk after get off work in the afternoon."

"What are you going to say to the emperor?" Zhang Juzheng was excited.

"What do you say to the emperor?" Xu Jie looked at him and said, "I'm going to Yan Mansion."

"Yan Song's family?" Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth wide and said, "Teacher, are you talking nonsense, right?"

"The teacher was not confused and Xu Jie looked at him and said, "Taiyue, everything is far from over. Of course, you have to make a long-term plan. Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, you will never be able to keep up with the humble words." As he said, he picked up a chopstick of water celery and chewed it slowly. This is the meaning of not speaking anymore.

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, and after a while, he calmed down and understood the teacher's meaning.

"I'll give you an afternoon to think about it." Xu Jie finished eating and sipped with a bowl of egg soup: "If you figure it out, follow me. If you can't figure it out, go home and continue thinking about it."

After lunch, Xu Jie asked Zhang Juzheng to buy some gifts, and then went to Wuyi Palace to wait for him to get off work.

After Shen Shi, Xu Jie finished his work and came out of the duty room. Zhang Juzhuo, who had been waiting in the afternoon, quickly brought a gift to him. He folded Liuxinju's pickles, ginseng from Heniantang, several Hu pens, and several squares of Huiyin."

"Yes," Xu Jie looked at him with a smile and said, "It seems you have figured it out.

"These things were bought according to Master Yan's preferences. If you can't figure it out, Zhang Juzheng would not be so attentive.

"Haha, nothing can be hidden from the teacher." Zhang Juzheng smiled embarrassedly and said, "The student figured it out."

"Okay, let's go," said the teacher and the apprentice. Then they got into the sedan chair and left the West Garden. Less than a hundred feet away, they arrived at the unspeakable Yan Mansion.

At this time, Master Yan also knew the full text of the Yinglong version of the branch, and ordered someone to find Yan Shifan and said to him: "This time the other party has guidance from experts, it seems that it is a lot of danger."

Yan Shifan said in a muffled voice: "It's not until the end. I can't say anything." But he also knew that he was beaten to the vital point this time. It seems that the best ending will be both sides. It is unlikely to lose all the money.

"Take my memorial book on it." Yan Song said slowly.

"What's the copy?" Yan Shifan pretended to be confused.

"My rest book has been submitted for half a month. Why hasn't there any movement?" Yan Song looked at him lightly and said, "If you didn't detain it, what's the matter?"

After being exposed by my father on the spot, Yan Shifan said without blushing: "Maybe the Tongzhengsi or the Sili Supervisor have neglected, so I will go back and ask."

Yan Song was too lazy to argue with him and said, "It's better than Mao when I send it to you now. I believe the emperor has made a decision." Although the old man was slow and sometimes he couldn't turn around, he was not confused at all, and said, "Let your family start packing things. The day for us to go back to our hometown is almost here.

Yan Shifan's fat face twitched and said, "I have to give up until the time to give up!"

"What to fight?!" Yan Song's tone suddenly increased. He glared at Yan Shifan and said, "Today" to warn him to be responsible! Do you think this was just for him? No. Or for me!" He pointed at Yan Shifan and said, "You are honest from now on, Dad, I can still keep you safe for the rest of your life. If you dare to do anything, the Daluo Jinxian can't save you!"

Yan Shifan was dissatisfied with dissatisfaction. He was about to refute a few words, but he heard Yan Nian outside say, "Master Xu Ge Lao came to visit."

The father and son were stunned for a moment, and Yan Shifan couldn't figure it out, "What are he doing?" Yan Song said with relief, "This is what your father has given you to you." He said with great energy: "Hurry up and wait for me to dress, open the middle door, and the whole family will come out to welcome you!" Yan Nian quickly ordered, and a maid came to change clothes and shoes for the old master. Since he was driven home by the emperor, Old Yan Song has never been so well-dressed.

"As for it?" Yan Shifan muttered, "You are giving him too much face, right?"

"Wake up, Yan Shifan." Yan Song took over his skills and walked out slowly with the support of Yan Shifan, saying, "Xu Jie is already a de facto minister. Today he can come to our house. First, he listened to the emperor's social commandments and came to show his kindness; then, I have always treated him well, and we are children and relatives, so we came to the door." As he said, he looked at Xu Jie who was walking quickly in the distance and said, "Which one of the two missing ones? Judging from today's situation, people don't think I am the defeated army."

Yan Shifan snorted, but did not refute it after all.

Seeing Yan Song coming out to greet him personally, Mr. Xu, who had always been dignified and steady, walked quickly like a trot, and came to him in a blink of an eye. He bowed to the bottom and said, "What is Xu Jie capable of? The master of the labor cabinet is "tall the time" and "tall the time"

Seeing that he was still so humble after he succeeded, Yan Song was even more relieved and reached out to help Xu Jie and said, "Your Master is right and wrong. You can come to the mansion in person. That's why I shine brightly."

After a while of greeting, the children saw the greeting again and then entered the front hall to serve tea.

Yan Song lost his mistake, sat back on his comfortable chair, and asked, "The Master of the Pavilion is busy with all his life. How can he have this leisure to visit my unemployed old man's home?"

Xu Jie bowed and said seriously: "I don't repay my kindness. Isn't it better to be a beast? How can Xu Jie be able to join the cabinet and become a prime minister? Isn't it all thanks to the support of the cabinet? Today, the emperor recruited officials and discussed secretly, and there are some secrets related to the cabinet, so Xu Jie dared not not to report it."

Now even the birth of Shifan was moved. He thought to himself that Xu Jie was really fucking "I'm so cowardly, my father is so humble, and he's still so humble.

But Old Yan Song was excited and thought to himself, his efforts over the years have not been in vain. With the support of the emperor, no one dared to bully me; he further confirmed that Xu Jie did not dare to do anything nonsense.

In any case, both the father and son gave up the idea of ​​being anxious.

Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "The father and son are used to being old men, and they really can't figure out the situation."
