Xia Yan came to Yan Song, originally hoping that Yan Song would find a way to solve the problem of military food and salary in the northwest, but Yan Song avoided the important matter and pushed the matter to the Yangming lineage.

After the two discussed it, there was no substantial effect. According to Yan Song, these were all caused by the Yangming lineage. It would take a certain amount of time for Yan Maoqing to integrate the new salt merchant. Zeng Xian had to continue waiting, and there was no other way.

I have to say that Xia Yan is far behind Yan Song in terms of punishment or harming people. He never expected Yan Song to use such a thing to mess with him. He actually thought he would have to wait for the food and salary!

This has changed mutiny. Will Yan Song give him time to wait?

How is that possible!

In the afternoon of that day, Yan Song ran to find Jiajing.

Jiajing thought Yan Song was here to present Qing Ci again, but he never thought that this guy was empty-handed and didn't take anything.

He couldn't help but say curiously: "Whizhong, is there anything you are doing?"

Yan Song pretended to hesitate for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor, the empress is afraid, the right and wrong of the Taoist behind it is wrong. In addition, Lord Xia Yanxia has the kindness of supporting the empress, so it is even more contrary to customs and etiquette when doing this. However, it is related to the national affairs, and the empress has to say that the emperor is also asking the emperor to forgive his crime."

What a mess? What did Xia Yan do? You said!

Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but urged: "What's wrong with Gongjin? You said."

After hearing this, Yan Song "collected up the courage" and said, "Emperor, something happened in Shanxi! In order to bribe Lord Xia Yanxia and gain high officials and generous salaries, Zeng Xian secretly detained the border army's food and salary, which caused trouble in the three towns of Shanxi, and now it evolved into a mutiny! And Lord Xia Yanxia not only did not report to the emperor, but also privately consulted with the ministers, asking him to find a way to deceive the emperor, and help allocate the food and salary to quell the mutiny. The minister was frightened. How dare I deceive the emperor for such a big matter!"

ah!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He was eagerly looking forward to Xia Yan quelling the troubles in the northwest border and creating a prosperous era for him, but he never thought that before the Tartars had killed one, the northwest border troops were in chaos!

The ups and downs of life come too quickly, which is really exciting!

He was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't believe it: "Is this really the case?"

Yan Song said carefully: "Your Majesty, this is what Lord Xia Yanxia said to Weichen personally, so it must not be fake!"

Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but say anxiously: "What's the situation in Shanxi now? Have the Tartars invaded?"

Yan Song slandered again: "Zeng Xian always colluded with Lord Xia in private and never formally submitted a report to the court. I don't know what the situation in Shanxi is. However, the Queen Qiu Luan of Xianning Hou made a report to me from time to time. Shaanxi is still stable and the Tartars have not had any abnormal movements."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then said slowly: "Do you have a disciple under your command who works in Shanxi? I ​​want to know what the specific situation is there."

Yan Song was all over the government and the country, and there were naturally his confidants in Shanxi. However, he shook his head and said, "I have always followed Lord Xia. My disciples have few connections with my disciples, my hometown, etc.." However, I remembered that Xu Jie, the disciple of Nie Bao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, is currently working in Shanxi. In the past two years, in order to promote him from the right senator to the right senator, Lord Nie Bao, also had a look at Wei Chen. Alas, sometimes, this person is really hard to do."

What are you talking nonsense? It’s hard to do someone, it’s hard to be a human being. I’m asking you what the specific situation in Shanxi is like!

However, Jiajing also heard that Xu Jie, the disciple of Nie Bao, the Minister of War, seems to have been working in Shanxi for many years and should be familiar with the situation there. Moreover, Xu Jie is a rising star in the Yangming lineage and will definitely not hide Xia Yan and Zeng Xian. If you ask Xu Jie, you must be right.

He thought for a moment, then he whispered to the door: "Civilization."

Lu Bing responded and bowed his hand and said loudly: "I am here."

Jiajing said without hesitation: "Select someone to pass on my secret decree and order Shanxi Chengxuan to announce the right-sponsor Xu Jie to report the specific situation in Shanxi. I must know what the border troops in the three towns in Shanxi are like."

Lu Bing didn't say much, and immediately received the order and left. Yan Song sneered in his heart: "Hehe, Master, the lower official has not betrayed you. This is all done by Yangming's lineage."

This guy is really vicious. He obviously sold Xia Yan, but he still wanted to put this on the Yangming lineage!

Shanxi is not far from the capital, and it is 800 miles in a hurry. It arrives in about a day. Xu Jie received a secret order. It is really a bit inexplicable. What is the situation of the army in Shanxi? What do you ask me?

The soldiers of the border army were in trouble, so he naturally had heard of it. However, he had never thought about submitting the court before, because the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel were controlled by Xia Yan and Yan Song's party. He sued Zeng Xian, who bit him back then and said that he would take revenge on his own, wouldn't that be a problem?

Now the emperor suddenly asked him what was going on?

He thought for a while and soon realized that Yan Song must have been trying to use him as a gun.

Damn, since you are so bored, don’t blame me for being rude.

He immediately wrote a memorial to report the situation in Shanxi. The general meaning was that the Weichen heard that due to the unfavorable allocation of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, the salt merchants failed to send the food and pay to the designated border town on time. At this time, the soldiers of the border army not only had no food and pay, but even had no food to eat. Therefore, the soldiers of the border army complained, and sometimes hungry soldiers gathered to cause trouble.

He didn't lie, he said it basically the truth, just to push the responsibility to Yan Maoqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.

When Jiajing saw the memorial, he frowned and pondered for a long time, and ordered someone to call Yan Song over.

After the monarch and ministers met, he did not talk much, and directly handed Xu Jie's memorial to Yan Song, and then asked: "What does Yan Maoqing mean? How much food and salary has he allocated to the Shanxi border troops?"

He roughly saw a clue, and there might be something wrong with it. It is hard to say whether the border army caused trouble because Zeng Mianke deducted food and salary or because the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue allocation was unfavorable.

Yan Song suddenly felt angry when he saw the memorial.

Damn it!

Xu Jie, have you eaten too much?

The emperor asked you what the specific situation in Shanxi is, what are you talking about in Nanjing Ministry of Revenue?

Of course, he also knew that Xu Jie was unwilling to be a gunman for him, so he slapped him with a backhand.

So, what should I do next?

As soon as Xu Jie made a report, Jiajing seemed to have seen something. If Jiajing knew the truth, it would be troublesome.

He pretended to be reading the memorial carefully, but he thought anxiously in his mind.
Chapter completed!
