This year is really not going well.

Yan Song and Xu Jie thought so in their hearts.

Yan Song was not afraid of impeachment, but the problem now is that the people below are likely to point the finger at Emperor Jiajing.

The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang spent so much effort to kill Hu Weiyong and abolish the position of prime minister. From then on, he set the basic foundation for the Ming Dynasty's rule, which was light on the center and focused on the six divisions.

This move affected the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the most unique selection system for cabinet chiefs in history emerged. He became a Jinshi, became a Hanlin senior, became a Zhanshi Mansion, was promoted to Shinshu and even a Shangshu, and finally became the prime minister.

The prime ministers of the Tang and Song dynasties did not go to the center, but the Ming Dynasty was just the opposite. Once they left the capital, the possibility of entering the cabinet was slim.

Therefore, although the cabinet was the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, it actually did not directly manage government affairs, and the six ministries actually handled affairs.

The cabinet chief minister has more of the presence of yin and yang, in other words, it is to mix with the thin.

Because the cabinet chief is at the highest peak of power, he represents not only himself, but the entire civil service system.

The cabinet chief is the person who has the most contact with the emperor in the civil service system. He needs to play Tai Chi between the civil service system and the imperial power, so as to satisfy both sides or make concessions.

But Yan Song was really not a good friend, because he always wanted to please Emperor Jiajing and never cared about the shouts made by the civil servant system.

This is the real reason why countless civil officials despise Yan Song.

Yan Song is also anxious now, and he wishes he could jump out and point at his nose. You impeach me, why are you going to provoke Your Majesty?!

Even though Yan Song was called a powerful traitor by countless people and claimed to be powerful all over the world, in fact, there are many young officials among the censors of the Censorate, and even the Censor of the Censorate could not control it.

Once there are a lot of people in the congratulatory form that asks Emperor Jiajing to investigate and reflect on himself, and issue an edict to blame himself... Yan Song is almost certain that Emperor Jiajing will be furious, but the problem is that the earth dragon turns over and turns over is real.

This blame may hit Yan Song. You are the chief minister of the cabinet and cannot control the situation... The anger in Emperor Jiajing's heart may be vented on Yan Song.

Even if such extreme scenes would not occur, Yan Song would not want to see Emperor Jiajing stick all officials again. After all, Emperor Jiajing is not young anymore, and he is not young anymore. No one will hold resentment on King Yu, but someone will definitely throw resentment on Yan Song's descendants.

"Bang!"

The closed door was kicked open, Yan Shifan walked in with a slight smile, and more than a dozen people crowded in the small room were glaring.

"Have you written the congratulatory form?" Yan Shifan chuckled and pointed at one of them, "You are the minister of the Ministry of Works. It seems that the surname is He, yes, I remember that Zhang Sijing, who was exiled from Beijing last year, was your in-laws."

Zhang Sijing was the leader who did not lose the word "Wansheng" on the first day of the Lunar New Year last year. She was seriously injured in the court forty and was exiled from Beijing to Yunnan.

A group of Yan's servants entered in sequence and opened the congratulations written on the table one by one in front of Yan Shifan.

Among the dozen congratulatory statements, there were seven or eight words just for the self-criticism. Yan Shifan's eyelids were twitching, and he secretly scolded himself for being hurt by Qian Zhan during this period, and he rubbed his numbness every day...

Yan Shifan was silly and asked someone to put the congratulations back, and drove most of the servants out of the house, rolled up his sleeves...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

One person gave a big mouth, and more than a dozen people looked embarrassed but didn't say a word. Yan Shifan sneered and went straight out.

"Is it useful?" Bai Qichang asked in a low voice: "What if they still talk nonsense on their congratulations?"

"Either you can't bear this tone and impeach your father or Yan in your congratulatory statement." Yan Shifan curled his lips, "Or you can bear the momentary anger and continue... How did Zhan Cai say it at that time... to commit suicide, yes, even to commit suicide, Your Majesty can see what my Yan Mansion has done."

This is for His Majesty to show. Bai Qichang nodded and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Next... the Ministry of Personnel will give Sun Ji the minister. This guy is worth a lot."

"Then let's go." Yan Shifan got into the carriage, and immediately a maid was holding a hot towel and putting it on his hands. Yan Shifan's hands hurt a lot tonight.

Suddenly, Yan Shifan lifted the curtain, summoned Bai Qichang to a nearby place, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Huating?"

"It is said that Xu Shezheng visited each other, but I don't know how the effect is." Bai Qichang curled his lips, "You can't just let Yan's family do their best."

...

Wanshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing's cold laughter rang in the back hall, "Okay, it's so good, the censor of Kedao... he is so forgetful."

Obviously, what Emperor Jiajing saw was not because the earth dragon turned over and officials were about to cause trouble; but that the Six-Chief School headed by Zhang Sijing was sceptered forty years in the court last year, and now someone is coming to overturn the case.

The reason is that the people who are in contact with each other are all given to the staff, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel, two lecturers in the Imperial College, and three editors of the Hanlin Academy, were all the same year as Zhang Sijing and his fellow villagers last year, and even in-laws.

He looked down at the paper full of names again. Emperor Jiajing turned the page and his face looked a little better.

Lu Bing then said: "Gei Master Yan and Gei Master Xu are trying their best to eliminate this move, but the methods used are different..."

"Of course." Emperor Jiajing smiled.

Yan Shifan used his power to oppress, and Xu Jie persuaded him with emotion. Judging from the actual results, the former is likely to be more effective.

This is nothing more than sharing the worries of Emperor Jiajing. Many officials will definitely point their fingers at Xu Jie and Yan Song because of fear, resentment and other reasons.

Although this move is shallow and will be seen through at a glance, it must be effective. Yan Song and Xu Jie's move are more for Emperor Jiajing to see.

"Wait." Emperor Jiajing threw two pieces of paper on the table, "I widened my eyes and could not miss one."

Lu Bing and Huang Jin bowed at the same time.

After leaving Xiyuan, Lu Bing got on his horse and walked forward along the street, his eyes fell on the gate of a house in the distance. He hesitated for a moment before turning his head away. It is really not advisable to be involved in this kind of thing. After all, Yan Song and Xu Jie were the chief assistant and second assistant in the cabinet, and Li Mo had not entered the cabinet yet.

The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and a Jinyiwei galloped over, "The commander, someone instigated and encouraged the juren on the test, should he?..."

Lu Bing turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked in a low voice: "Who is the leader?"

"The juren who was supposed to be the exam was very quiet, and only a few guys in the Imperial College were making trouble, but a few hours ago, there was someone in the Zhejiang Guild Hall..." Jinyiwei School took two steps closer and whispered: "It's Xu Wei, the Zhejiang Xinke Provincial Examination for the Provincial Examination."

"He's the only one?"

"He's the only one."

Lu Bing paced back and forth a few steps and waved his hand, "Let me find someone to cheat him out and arrest him."

"Closed?" Jinyiwei School was a little uneasy.

"Closed?" Lu Bing snorted, "This is a hornet's nest. If you lock it up, it will poke the hornet's nest. Not to mention you, even I will be covered in fishy clothes."

"That……"

Lu Bing smiled and shook his whip in his hand, "There is a good place, he will definitely be willing to go."

Well, Lu Bing's idea was a bit outrageous... Of course, he didn't know what medicine Qian Yuan brought to Xu Wei, who was seriously ill and dying.

...

"I understand." Qian Yuan nodded and said to the person who came: "Report to your head, don't worry, someone else in Qian will receive this love."

Xu Wei was still making a fuss over there, his body was pulled in by two guards, and his feet were kicked in the air, almost hitting Yang Wen's face.

"Noisy!" Qian Yuan waved his hand and shouted, "Clog his mouth!"

The next moment, Xu Wei became quiet.
