Jiajing was still cautious about the Liu Shuxiang case. Although he was the emperor and even if he could determine life and death with just one word, he also knew that he could not do anything he could.

He wants to kill anyone he wants like a lunatic, or he doesn't care if he finds corrupt officials, and the whole court must be in chaos. Therefore, although he is willful, he doesn't do anything. At least, he thinks so himself.

In the Liu Shuxiang case, he not only personally solicited the opinions of Li Shi, Xia Yan and Zhang Bangqi, but also asked Lu Bing to investigate it secretly.

Lu Bing had already received Yang Cong's note, so he naturally knew how to "invest". After a few days of secret investigation, he came to report the results to Jiajing.

Jiajing trusted this milk brother quite well. After the monarch and ministers greeted him, he asked cordially: "Civilization, how are the people commenting on this Liu Shuxiang, and how is he an official?"

Lu Bing bowed without hesitation: "Go back to the emperor, the people in the capital have a good evaluation of Liu Shuxiang in private. Although no one said he was the Master Qingtian, the people all said that Liu Shuxiang was a good official."

The evaluation of "good official" is already good. If the common people say that Liu Shuxiang is the master of Qingtian Jiajing, he would express doubts. He nodded slightly and then asked again: "Isn't anyone talking bad about him?"

Lu Bing replied "honestly": "Yes, but most of them are corrupt officials he has dealt with. Liu Shuxiang has a bad reputation in the officialdom because he always talks about integrity and integrity. As long as he is a corrupt official, he will not show mercy. He has offended many people because of this."

It is normal for someone to say good things and some people to say bad things. If everyone says good things, wouldn’t this person become a saint? Jiajing doesn’t believe that there are any saints these days. Like Liu Shuxiang, those who say bad things are basically corrupt officials who are already considered very good.

He nodded slightly and said, "Well, it seems that this Liu Shuxiang is not bad as an official. So what's going on with impeachment of people like him this time? Are these people all involved with corrupt officials?"

When Lu Bing heard this, he pretended to be hesitant, saying, "This Weichen did not find any clues, but Weichen heard that these censors who impeached Liu Shuxiang have been closer to Lord Xia recently."

That's right. No wonder what Xia Yan said is completely different from what Li Shi and Zhang Bangqi said. Xia Yan's good use of this person is indeed a good knife, but sometimes this guy also cuts people around. As long as he goes against him, he will try his best to get rid of the people.

Jiajing knew this very well. It was because Xia Yan had this ruthless spirit that he caught his eyes.

He just likes to watch court officials fight each other, and Xia Yan's fighting is what he appreciates the most, as long as the people below can fight.

He did not think that it was too much in the Liu Shuxiang case. At least Xia Yan did not use any means to frame others. He could still accept this method of impeachment, because this way he could reflect his authority.

After all, no matter how the impeachment is reported, he will still have to say anything in the end.

Jiajing nodded slightly and asked again: "Why did Liu Shuxiang have a conflict with Xia Yan?"

This matter cannot be said in detail. If it is said in detail, it will offend people fiercely. Lu Bing is still just a commander of the Jinyiwei commander at this moment. He dare not be arrogant and bite whoever he catches.

Of course, it’s not OK to say this. If you don’t say it, how can you give Xia Yan and Chen Hong eye drops?

Lu Bing pretended to behave: "This, I haven't verified it yet. The rumor is that Liu Shuxiang is not smooth enough in doing things and offended Eunuch Chen."

Jiajing thoughtfully said, "Chen Hong?"

Lu Bing pretended to be quite fearful and said carefully: "Yes, the emperor."

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Although Lu Bing didn't explain in detail, he had already "guessed" that the eunuch Chen Hong, whom he favored, had close contact with Xia Yan.

If this matter is released from the Hongwu Dynasty or the Jiajing Dynasty, Chen Hong will definitely drag it out and cut off, and Xia Yan will definitely dismiss the office and the title of the Zhu family will be dismissed from office and the family will be dismissed. The two ancestors of the Zhu family were very disgusted with eunuchs' interference in politics.

But it is different now. Because the civil servants are powerful, the emperors behind them are not as powerful as the two ancestors, so they can't suppress these civil servants at all. Therefore, they basically train eunuchs to deal with those civil servants.

It is already common for the Cabinet Grand Secretary and the eunuchs in the palace to reunite. Although Jiajing was disgusted, he would not deal with Chen Hong and Xia Yan because of this matter. However, his impression of Xia Yan was greatly reduced. This guy actually colluded with the eunuch. It seems that it is right to cultivate the Yangming lineage to suppress this guy.

He was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down."

This matter has passed like this. Jiajing did not deal with Liu Shuxiang, nor did he criticize Chen Hong and Xia Yan. He just kept all the memorials impeaching Liu Shuxiang and refused to post them, so as to tell Xia Yan that Liu Shuxiang should not be held back.

When Xia Yan saw the result, he was so angry that he was so angry that he recruited Yan Song to the mansion.

Yan Song was very humble at this moment. In front of Xia Yan, he was just like a grandson.

Xia Yan didn't know that this guy was pretending. After the two sides greeted each other, he frowned and said, "Weizhong, what do you think about Liu Shuxiang? Should we continue to impeach?"

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "You are afraid you are so crazy that you don't know who you are. The emperor's intention is obviously not to let you do it, you still want to do it!"

Of course, he wouldn't say this to Xia Yan. On the surface, he still said very carefully: "Brother Gong Jin, why don't you forget about this? Liu Shuxiang has no direct conflict with us. We don't have to work so hard to deal with him."

Xia Yan frowned and said, "We don't have to work so hard to deal with him, but I have already made a boast about Eunuch Chen. Liu Shuxiang has nothing to do with him now. How can I explain it to others?"

Yan Song felt contempt in his heart. He was so arrogant in front of others for nothing. Who do you think you are? Is the dignified third-rank court official so easy to do?

You are just acting stupid, you know?

Of course, he would not remind Xia Yan, and he also knew that Xia Yan's career was too smooth, so he was very arrogant.

Floating, let you float, the better you float.

Yan Song still said carefully: "Why don't we find a way to compensate Eunuch Chen in other places? We really shouldn't pursue Liu Shuxiang's matter anymore. The emperor probably has seen some signs."

Of course, Xia Yan knew that Jiajing had seen some signs, but he was unhappy. Who in the court knew that he was looking for trouble to deal with Liu Shuxiang? As a result, Liu Shuxiang fell into the arms of Yangming's lineage and was fine!

This was a big blow to his authority. He really didn't want to let it go, but Yan Song was timid. What could he do?

At this time, he had already vaguely felt that most of the people in the village were following Yan Song. If Yan Song didn't speak, many things would not be able to be done.

What does this guy mean?

If Yan Song hadn't been quite gentle and respectful, he would have really suspected that Yan Song wanted to ride on his head.

He stared at Yan Song for a while, then asked lightly: "Is this really the case?"
