Chapter 335

When Jiajing heard Xu Jie's words, he was very appreciative. At the same time, he asked why Yan Song and Lu Ben didn't notice this. They began to impeach Zhang Hao when there was no news from the government. Did they do it in a hurry? Is there any purpose.

"Well, my majesty, I don't know what they think. I tried to persuade them, but they said that they were worried that the lack of salt would cause panic across the country, so they were so anxious to impeach Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao has nothing to do with it.
Zhang Hao has only just begun to rectify the salt affairs. If there is a real shortage of salt, then it is something that happened before, not just now. Therefore, what I mean is that they may want Zhang Hao to take on this matter. responsibility! " Xu Jie cupped his hands to Jiajing and said!

"Well, tell me, who is responsible for this matter?" Jiajing nodded and asked Xu Jie.

"Returning to the emperor, if you want to talk about responsibility, then the inspector of salt in this place is responsible, and the officials of the Ministry of Households are also responsible. If there are other illegal acts, it is the business of those salt merchants!" Xu Jie Looking at Jiajing cupped his hands and said.

"Well, it's quite clear!" Jiajing nodded, and then asked, "What do you think about Zhang Hao's rectification of the salt affairs?"

After Xu Jie heard this, he was also puzzled. He originally thought that Jiajing would summon the three cabinet ministers today, but unexpectedly, he summoned himself alone.

"Your Majesty, after all, Zhang Hao has never managed the salt affairs, so asking him to rectify it is indeed a bit embarrassing for him. I just said that the salt affairs have involved the interests of many people. If it wasn't for Zhang Hao, it probably wouldn't have happened." If people dare to go, even if they did, no one would dare to rectify it!" Xu Jie immediately said to Jiajing.

"Well, this is the truth. No one dares to touch the interests of these people. Even if they dare to touch, those salt merchants will use money to buy them off. They are very rich. I don't believe in the impeachment of Zhang Hao this time. The officials were able to learn the news at the same time and impeach them at the same time without anyone deliberately telling them, so tell me, who is behind the scenes?" Jiajing stared at Xu Jie and asked.

"This, I don't dare to speculate, I just said that there is indeed something strange about this matter!" Xu Jie immediately replied honestly.

"Hmm!" Jiajing nodded upon hearing his cautious answer, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. He knew that many of those ministers were pretending to be ignorant, but they couldn't explain clearly.

"Zhang Hao is your son-in-law. Look at this letter. It was written by Zhang Hao, reporting on the situation in Shanxi. You can finish reading it. You are still needed to support Zhang Hao in the capital.

In the past few days, there are probably people impeaching Zhang Hao, and the people behind it, I think, you know, they want to kill Zhang Hao, you, the father-in-law, cannot just watch your son-in-law being dragged down by them, You still need to dig out the people behind it! " Jiajing said to Xu Jie,
When Xu Jie heard it, he didn't make a statement. He still needed to see what was written in the letter. Immediately Lu Fang took Zhang Hao's letter and showed it to Xu Jie. Xu Jie took it and looked at it carefully. more surprised.

He didn't expect that Zhang Hao confiscated so much salt, and those salt merchants are now released, but their family members are now arrested. In addition, Zhang Hao's side has already started to spread salt, and the entire north of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Hao's side will Next, Zhang Hao will go to other places to inspect, check the salt production situation of other salt farms, and see how much salt there is in Daming, is it enough for the people to use for a year?
"Your Majesty, this, this!" Xu Jie looked at Jiajing in surprise, he really did not expect such news to come.

"Are you surprised? I am also surprised! They say there is a shortage of salt, but those salt merchants have hoarded more than 400 million dans of table salt, which is enough for the people of Ming Dynasty to last for more than half a year. However, those salt merchants still don't sell it. It's just the salt merchants in Shanxi, what if you add salt merchants from other places? How much salt have they hoarded, and what is their purpose? Are they going to rebel? These salt merchants listen to King Jin, King Jin What exactly do you want?" Jiajing stared at Xu Jie and asked.

"Here, Your Majesty, King Jin's actions are despicable!" Xu Jie immediately knelt down and said to Jiajing.

"But it's difficult. Look, how many officials did he buy, huh? Impeach Zhang Hao? If Zhang Hao hadn't gone down to check the salt, the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty would probably have been kept in the dark!" Jiajing sat there and sighed. Said.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to impeach him. I can't let him harm my Daming like this!" Xu Jie now fully understands Jiajing's meaning. This time Jiajing is going to take care of King Jin. Zhang Hao is in Shanxi and Jiajing is in court.

"Well, go and collect the evidence. If there is no evidence, he will not be convinced!" Jiajing was very satisfied with Xu Jie being so upright, but as the emperor, he couldn't instruct the people below to impeach each other, could he?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will write to Zhang Hao and ask Zhang Hao to write back to me!" Xu Jie said to Jiajing.

"Well, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest early? Go!" Jiajing said to Xu Jie, and Xu Jie immediately bid farewell.
Needless to say about Jiajing, Xu Jie knows how to do it.

And Xu Jie was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Jiajing would deal with King Jin in such a way. It's not worth sending Zhang Hao, but he had to deal with him at the court. If he really came to the court, then King Jin's throne would still Whether it can be kept is a question, and the King Jin family will be hit hard by then.
After Xu Jie left the palace, he hurried back home, sat at home, and started writing letters to Zhang Hao. He needed Zhang Hao to write back to him, even if he wrote exactly the same content as Jiajing. To be able to impeach the king of Jin, after Xu Jie finished writing it, he pretended it and put it on himself,
When he got up the next morning, Xu Jie called one of his servants and asked him to go to Taiyuan immediately to find Zhang Hao and take his own greeting card at the same time. He went in, and they all knew that he was Zhang Hao's father-in-law.Then Xu Jie went to the cabinet,

After arriving in the cabinet, Xu Jie saw many ministers impeaching Zhang Hao. Xu Jie was very upset. Those officials didn’t know what happened.

"There are so many impeachment memorials. I said Mr. Xu Ge, why don't you send them over?" Lu Ben looked at Xu Jie and said with a smile.

"Let the hall officials send it? I can't send it over there, I still need to avoid suspicion!" Xu Jie immediately waved his hand and said, still a little surprised in his heart. Lu Ben actually said such a thing and asked himself to send the memorial to impeach his son-in-law?

"The emperor summoned you last night, probably to discuss how to deal with these impeachment memorials? Didn't the emperor give any advice?" Lu Ben continued to smile and said to Xu Jie.Xu Jie was not surprised when he heard it, the three of them would know whoever went to see Jiajing soon.

"It's not about Zhang Hao, it's about salt. The emperor is thinking about how to solve the problem of salt. After all, no matter how to deal with Zhang Hao, you have to face the problem of salt shortage!" Xu Jie smiled at them and said. .

"Is there a way?" Yan Song looked at Xu Jie and asked.

"What can I do? I'm not familiar with the situation in the household department. I guess the two elders may have a way!" Xu Jie said to them, clasping his hands.

"You are flattering the old man. What can the old man do? However, the problem of salt really needs to be solved. What the old man means is to ask the Ministry of Households to send ministers to the major salt farms to urge them to produce salt as soon as possible to ease the problem. The common people are urgent!" Lu Ben stroked his beard and said.

"Well, but now it is Zhang Hao who is rectifying the salt affairs. The matter of Zhang Hao has not yet been settled. How to do it, we can't intervene now, unless the emperor asks us to do it!" Yan Song also said while stroking his beard,
Xu Jie heard it, and sneered. There is no such thing as a shortage of experiments. Those salt merchants made it up by themselves. It is nothing to copy their homes. This time, they might destroy their three clans. People who live in this place are also unlucky, but Xu Jie can't say these things.

"Okay, let the hall officials send it over? Xu Jie, you also have to persuade the emperor. This matter cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for Zhang Hao. Now, when the shortage of salt in various places is not very serious, hurry up. Don't be this imperial envoy anymore, let the Ministry of Accounting solve this matter, although the Ministry of Accounting may not be able to solve it, but it's better than letting Zhang Hao bear all the responsibilities?" Lu Ben sat there, looked at Xu Jie and said .

"Hey, I think so too, but the emperor may not listen to his ministers, so, who knows what will happen to this matter?" Xu Jie smiled again and said,
Yan Song and Lu Ben heard it, but they didn't care. Anyway, procrastination is very bad for Zhang Hao.
In the evening, after Zhang Hao received a letter from Xu Jie, Xu Jie wrote very clearly in the letter. He was afraid that Zhang Hao would not understand, so he directly said that he wanted Zhang Hao to provide evidence that King Jin manipulated those salt merchants. Write a letter to impeach King Jin!

When Zhang Hao saw it, he knew that Jiajing had made a move. He would do it on his side. Jiajing was in the capital, and he was about to start cleaning up King Jin. At this time, the inquiry letter from the Metropolitan Procuratorate also arrived, and Zhang Hao also truthfully reported that he was The situation in Shanxi,

However, I can reply one day late for the inquiry letter from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but for Xu Jie's, I need to send it back to you immediately, so that Xu Jie can impeach King Jin first.
