Chapter 695 Doubts

Two years ago, the Ministry of Revenue agreed with the matter of trade. None of the other five ministries made any statements. Yan Party was removed from the crowd, and only the censors of Kedao attacked him... If it were to say that Xu Jie did not intervene, Yan Shifan would definitely not believe it.

Now that sweet potatoes and potatoes are determined, plus the previous three hundred giant trees, Wang Zhi might be able to get a title, which would be considered a change of family.

After a quiet moment, Xu Jie avoided answering and explained quietly: "Last year, Liaodong's grain shortage was dependent on the Ministry of Revenue to raise grain to overcome difficulties, but what the Liaodong governor said in a letter was for spring plowing. He asked the court to allocate 50,000 taels of silver to prepare for spring plowing."

"After all, I still need money." Yan Shifan sneered: "Isn't it worthwhile again?"

"Donglou Gong was joking." Xu Jie whispered: "Hou Ruliang's father Hou Lun, a Jinshi during the Zhengde period, served as Yuan Maqing and the Minister of Revenue. He was as honest as water. Waiting for You Ruliang's father."

Yan Shifan was playing with an exquisite jade pendant in his hand and sneered: "Hou Ruliang, a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing, and was from the Imperial College. He was a student of Xu Ge Lao."

Indeed, at that time, Xu Jie also served as the Imperial College Priest, and the famous Yang Jisheng was also classmates with Hou Ruliang.

Hou Ruliang inspected Liaodong as the censor of the Censorate two years ago. Last year, Liaodong was able to provide famine relief and disaster relief, and was immediately promoted to Liaodong Governor.

Seeing that Xu Jie didn't say anything, Yan Shifan threw down his jade pendant and continued: "Isn't Shi Yingshao also a student of Xu Ge. His father, Shi Hongxuan, was famous for his integrity in the world. He was also imprisoned for his personal gain?"

Xu Jie lowered his eyes slightly and cursed in his heart... Mother, don't you know why I took Shi Yingshao down?

Yan Shifan was also cursing in his heart, cursing Xu Jie and Qian Yuan... The top figure in the Six Chronicles who had finally been brought over was ruined!

"Donglou Gong, how do you plan to vote?" Xu Jie tried his best to remain calm.

"It costs 50,000 taels at once, so it will be submitted to the imperial palace naturally." Yan Shifan leaned on the back of the chair, "Continue."

Xu Jie swallowed his anger and took the next memorial, "Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng and Fujian General Qi Jiguang wrote to the Ministry of War. Although the Japanese pirates were defeated repeatedly, the remaining pirates occupied the island and were difficult to destroy. Please send the Zhejiang Navy to attack the Japanese."

Without Yan Song present, Yan Shifan was arrogant and said bluntly, "This is the matter of Zhan Cai."

This cannot be wrong. It is not only the relationship between Wu Baipeng, Qi Jiguang and Qian Yuan, but also because most of the warships of the Zhejiang Navy were gathered together by Qian Yuan and silver was made in Zhenhai.

Yan Shifan's words had another meaning. Just two quarters of an hour ago, Xu Jie read the memorial of Zhejiang Governor Tan Lun. Taizhou commander Ge Hao led the navy to attack, defeated the Japanese pirates, seized eight sea boats, and the rest fled to Fujian in the south.

Obviously, no matter what the cause was, several officials from the southeast reached a tacit agreement, and asked the commander of Taizhou Ge Hao to lead the navy south to help Qi Jiguang attack the Japanese.

Yan Shifan thought about it, was that guy Qian Yuan so happy in the southeast?

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Qian Yuan and Xu Jie... since the army surrounded the governor's yamen.

Besides, Xu Jie and his son-in-law Zhang Juzheng are not... Yan Shifan knows that Xu Jie is trying hard to stuff Zhang Juzheng into Prince Yu's mansion.

Xu Jie looked at Yan Shifan's proposal and was thinking about this question in his mind. Couldn't Qian Yuan go back to Beijing yet? Should he ask his son to send a letter to ask... Forget it, let's ask his daughter, maybe the effect is better.

"Zhancai is having fun in the southeast." Yan Shifan threw down his pen, "How many more?"

"Don't be anxious, you'll only have the last one." Xu Jie picked up the last memorial, opened it and looked at it for a few times. His eyes were deep and his expression was unpredictable. He did not speak but handed over the memorial.

Yan Shifan noticed something and reached out to take the memorial.

This is a memorial from Li Mo to the Ministry of Revenue. The three prefectures of Yanping, Shaowu and Jianning in Fujian were first stolen by Japanese riots, and then robbed by the thief army. The nineteen prefectures and counties were already hungry and were flooded with refugees. They were given food and rice to provide disaster relief in Zhejiang, but they were not allowed to plow the spring, so the Ministry of Revenue was asked to try to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes in the three prefectures.

"Bang!" Yan Shifan got up furiously, slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Who sent it to Zhilu!"

Xu Jie said softly with a expressionless face: "These memorials were naturally sent by Tongzhengsi."

Yan Shifan's eyes widened, "Qian Zheng!"

Xu Jie immediately added fire, "I'm afraid it's Qian Yuan."

Qian Zheng is the commemorative general, and he must obtain permission to send memorials to the cabinet. Qian Zheng has a weak presence, but his nephew Qian Yuan’s presence behind him is too strong.

What's more, Li Mo wrote a letter to try to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes in Yanping, Shaowu and Jianning, Fujian. Li Mo is from Jianning Mansion, and sweet potatoes, potatoes and Qian Yuan are closely linked.

Xu Jie and Yan Shifan both thought of the same possibility. Ouyang was critically ill and Yan’s party was about to fall. Did Qian Yuan choose to help Li Mo recover?

The two looked at each other, and they were planning to do it... With Qian Yuan's influence on Emperor Jiajing, it is hard to say whether Li Mo's recovery will be successful. The key is that Emperor Jiajing issued an order twice last year to praise Li Mo, and Lin Tingji was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Li Mo was already likely to be restored by Emperor Jiajing, and Qian Yuan gave an opportunity.

It was Yan Song and Xu Jie who joined forces to drive Li Mo away. Unexpectedly, Li Mo might make a comeback in just three years.

The room was silent for a moment, and Xu Jie and Yan Shifan were thinking silently.

If he was in the study at home, Xu Jie would probably curse him. He was so mean!

The next cabinet chief minister was determined not to follow him, but he wanted to find Li Mo... Have you forgotten how Li Mo treated you and Sui Yuan back then?

When choosing an official, he almost kicked Yang Quan, who is now famous in the court, to Qiongzhou Island!

And you, Li Mo, aren’t you proud of being angry? You actually colluded with Qian Yuan to try to get back on your feet. Are you shameless?!

Yan Shifan thought for a long time and saw Xu Jie's white face with blue eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Mo and Yan Song have been fighting for many years and are mortal enemies of each other. However, Xu Jie once joined hands with Li Mo, but in the end he had a knife behind his back... Even if Li Mo recovered, I am afraid that the one who hated Yan Song and his son the most was not the one whom, but Xu Jie.

Li Mo has a student in charge of the Jinyiwei. Yan Shifan doesn’t feel that the other party can’t figure out the truth back then... Besides, I don’t know, can I speak frankly!

The two censors who wrote a letter to impeach Dong Fen, one was Yan Dang and the other was the one behind Xu Jie!

Xu Jie's hands trembled unconsciously and asked softly: "Donglou Gong, how do you plan to vote?"

Yan Shifan sneered: "Of course, he has been presented to the imperial palace and has been recorded in the cabinet. Could it be that he still wants to erase it?"

After the Silijian took the memorial, Xu Jie left with his lips tightly. Yan Shifan walked back and forth between the house and went to the book pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Yan Shifan looked at Yuan Wei who had left in a hurry and fell down suddenly.

Xu Wei glanced at him disdainfully, and really thought I would say something!

"It's nothing, by the way, I went to Zhilu just now, and Ge Lao Xu was still there, so I didn't go in." Xu Wei said lightly: "I received a letter last night. Li Shizhen was in Jiangxi and has set off three days ago. According to the time period, I can arrive in Beijing within three or four days."

Yan Shifan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Wen Chang."

Xu Wei didn't say anything, he suspected... Before Ouyang's death, Li Shizhen might never be able to enter the capital, and maybe the boat on the canal was sunk.
