Chapter 700 Tortoise Tiger

After all, since Xia Yan abandoned the market in the 27th year of Jiajing, Yan Song and Xu Jie have fought back and forth for eleven years. There are too many temptations, too many fights, and even two key collaborations, which make them difficult for outsiders to understand.

Xu Jie's gain was that he became the best candidate to take over as the chief minister of the cabinet, and Yan Song also clearly realized that he would completely defeat Xu Jie... This was something that Emperor Jiajing did not allow.

After a few short sentences of analysis, Yan Shifan immediately understood, "Your Majesty likes the technique of checks and balances the most. The current situation... Wu Shan?"

Wu Shan, who is the Minister of Rites and the Bachelor of Hanlin Academy, is a natural candidate for joining the cabinet in any aspect. Being able to hold the position of Minister of Rites for a long time proves his qualifications... However, although Yan Song and his son and Wu Shan are fellow villagers in Jiangxi, there are quite a gap between the two families, both public and private.

Yan Shifan lost his wife and wanted to marry Wushan's sister, but the latter refused, which made Yan Shifan feel embarrassed.

The Minister of Rites does not have much real power, and is largely the pedal to enter the pavilion. Wu Shan has been sitting there for so many years, but he has never been able to enter the pavilion... It is mainly Yan Song's raid.

Yan Song shook his head slightly, "Wu Yuejing is a straightforward person, but her qualifications are too shallow... If you want to balance Huating, you must have equal qualifications, and you must have support behind you, and your nature will be as strong as fire."

Yan Shifan was stunned for a while before tentatively saying, "Li Shiyan?"

"There is also Gao Xinzheng, but it's a pity that he has been in charge of the Imperial College for less than a year and was appointed as the Minister of Rites... Your Majesty will not agree, and this matter is also a taboo..."

Yan Song was interrupted by his son halfway through his words. Yan Shifan said excitedly: "Let Li Shiyan take over... With Lu Wenfu here, he must know the truth back then, but today's memorial will not be posted... Wait a moment, and when Li Shiyan resumes, he will attack Huating... and make a big move... By the way, Dong Yongjun..."

Hearing this, Yan Song closed his eyes. He felt that he could not understand his son... Is he really smart or stupid?

Yan Song was thinking about disturbing the cabinet and making Huating unable to take action, and then trying every means to retire and return home... If Your Majesty is nostalgic for the past, Yan might escape.

Yan Shifan thought of killing and killing... and pulled Xu Jie off his horse. Maybe he wanted to stuff Tang Ruji into Prince Yu's mansion and hold Dong Fen to the Minister of Rites. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Yan family was not rich.

Yan Song was ruthless in his heart. Is it better to drive his son back to his hometown? I am afraid that he will not escape the disaster, but maybe his son can survive and at least a few grandsons can save him.

Yan Shifan was also ruthless in his heart, first getting Xu Jie down, then Li Mo, Wu Shan was qualified to enter the cabinet, not to mention Zhao Wenhua, but Wu Peng, Minister of Personnel, and Dong Fen, Minister of Justice, also had the chance...

At this moment, Xu Jie, who was also in his heart, was also in his study room, who could not keep his calm expression in front of the two disciples.

There was no way. Xu Jie made up his mind to do it as soon as possible yesterday morning, and heard good news last night... Ouyang finally passed away, which was the first step of Xu Jie's plan.

Then... and then the second step could not continue, Yan Shifan refused to leave!

After all, all Xu Jie's subsequent plans, such as the competition for votes and plans to make a decision, such as a comprehensive attack, etc., were based on the premise that Yan Shifan helped the coffin and returned home.

Xu Jie's nose was pissed. How could there be such a shameless person in the world!

"The news in the palace, Yan Fenyi has already handed over the memorial, Your Majesty..." Xu Jie took a deep breath, "Three quarters of an hour ago, Chen Hong, the Sili Supervisor, came to pay a visit."

Zhang Juzheng squinted his eyes and said without saying anything, while Lu Guangzu's face turned red, and he stood up in anger and said, "Shi Prime Minister, Shi Zhai Gong, as the chief minister, has also been mourning for three years. This is so unfilial to this, and the censor will write a letter to impeach him."

Who is not good to use as an example? Yang Tinghe as an example... Xu Jie was speechless. A few years ago, His Majesty often asked if Sheng'an was still there?

But the cabinet members lost their parents and returned to their hometown to mourn for three years, which started with Yang Tinghe... In fact, Yang Tinghe was quite hated by later generations in this regard. The first one was Zhang Juzheng, who refused to be mourned and was tortured to death. The second one was Zhang Siwei. After seeing Zhang Juzheng's fate... Okay, I'll go and mourn... As a result, I died before three years had passed.

Xu Jie's eyes passed over Lu Guangzu, who was still angry, and turned to Zhang Juzheng, who was still silent. He believed that after years of hardship, this disciple he valued the most would give him an answer that satisfies him.

Zhang Juzheng seemed to notice Xu Jie's sight. He stood up and said calmly: "Yan Fen should be favored by His Majesty. Yan Donglou is so rampant, but he is cunning by nature. His father-in-law should avoid his sharp edge and attack his lazy return."

"What's the solution?"

"Sharpen his wings." Zhang Juzheng paused, as if he was making a decision, and after a moment, he said: "Dong Fen, Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Minister of Personnel, Wu Peng."

Xu Jie smiled with satisfaction. If His Majesty Xu Yan Shifan stayed in the capital, then directly attacking Yan Shifan with unfilial piety was equivalent to going to criticize His Majesty.

Even if you attack Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son for other reasons, it is likely that His Majesty will feel sympathy and bored, and it will be difficult to achieve practical results.

But if he attacks other members of the Yan Party, Yan Shifan is likely not to sit idly by. On the contrary, under this special situation, he is likely to react more intensely than before, and these can be used.

With more officials from the Party, who should I choose?

The two names given by Zhang Juzheng, Dong Fen, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, was a serious Hanlin official and was regarded as one of the natural candidates for Yan Dang to succeed in the future. Wu Peng, as a Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, was a strong figure in Yan Dang's backbone... These two people are something Yan Shifan would never give up.

"Uncle has grown up."

With Xu Jie's faint appreciation, Zhang Juzheng had no expression on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief. This time... he finally didn't retract his head.

Zhang Juzheng remembered that when he was drunk with Qian Yuan in Hangzhou, he heard his comments on the court. He was affirmative of Yan Song's insistence on not leaving the city to fight during the Gengxu Incident. At the same time, he laughed and mocked Xu Jie, the second subordinate of the cabinet, who was the zodiac sign of Xu Jie, was one of the turtle and the other was the tiger.

Listening to Xu Jie's analysis, Zhang Juzheng's mouth curled up a curve. He remembered that he was puzzled at the time. How could the turtle understand why there was a tiger?

Dead tail to survive... This gecko.

This description... Zhang Juzheng thought about it in his mind. It was really vivid, because Xu Jie was considering the disciples among the slogans of the Kedao to see which one was a straitor!

However, even if Xu Jie broke his tail this time, he would never shrank his head anymore. On the one hand, he hoped to wash away his image in previous years through this head-on conflict with the Yan Party... Li Mo raised the banner and was in the limelight for a while. Why? Isn't Xu Jie just shrank his head?

On the other hand, although Li Mo's memorial was left behind, it is hard to say what the final result would be. Xu Jie felt that he didn't have much time left.

Why?

Yan Song's defeat is undoubtedly true. Even if Ouyang's death, how long can the 80-year-old Yan Song last?

When Yan Song was defeated and Xu Jie took office, the first thing he had to do was two things: first, liquidate the Yan Party, and second, recall the officials who were deposed by the Yan Party.

In fact, these two things complement each other. The liquidation of the Stern Party will inevitably lead to a lack of official positions in the court. If officials who are not in line with the Stern Party will naturally be grateful to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie had already planned it. As long as he did not mention Xia Yan or Zeng Xian, His Majesty should be able to accept it.

This is an extremely rich political legacy left by Yan Song. A large number of official positions are missing, a large number of centripetal force of officials returning to the North Korea, and a certainly high political reputation...

Xu Jie struggled for ten years, was beaten up again and again with his head shrank and his tail was cut off to survive again and again. How could he bear it? When the fruit of victory was about to fall, someone else reached out to him?

And the one who is most likely to come to grab food is of course Li Mo.

Xu Jie had a headache, and Yan Shifan stayed in the capital. Fortunately, Li Mo's memorial was also kept, otherwise this time I would be afraid that I would not be able to stop it.
