I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 457
After listening to Xu Jie's analysis, everyone felt that it was quite reasonable. After Xu Jie finished speaking, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his eyes full of expectation.

"Hmph, Yan Song, you can't handle it anymore. It's finally my turn to be the chief assistant of the cabinet!"

Thinking of this, Xu Jie immediately glanced at the chair not far away that only the chief minister of the cabinet was qualified to sit on, his eyes were full of heat.

And Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng on the side also looked thoughtful, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

Soon, the news that Yan Song was seriously ill spread among the government and the public at a viral speed.

……

After Yan Maoqing heard the news, he suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and saw him sitting back on the chair in a daze, talking to himself silently.

"Old Yan Ge, you can't have anything to do with your old age. If you want to have something to do with your old age, how can I, Yan Maoqing, live!"

Yan Maoqing knew very well that his embezzlement and acceptance of bribes had long been known to the whole court.

For a long time, the reason why no one took action against him was mostly because of Yan Song's face. After all, no one wanted to take the risk of offending the chief minister of the cabinet to impeach Yan Maoqing.

But right now, the news of Yan Song's serious illness came out, and the people behind him might start to make trouble again.

If the news circulating in the government and the opposition is true, once Yan Song dies, then Qingliu tycoon Xu Jie will definitely take over as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and at that time, he, Yan Maoqing, will definitely be the first to be liquidated!

Yan Maoqing roughly imagined his tragic end in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"No, Yan Maoqing, you absolutely can't sit still and wait for death!"

"Why don't you go to Luo Longwen and the others to discuss and see what can be done!"

It stands to reason that officials are not allowed to leave their posts at will during their working hours. If they are discovered by the court, they will be severely punished. But when life and death are at stake, Yan Maoqing at this time can no longer take care of so much.

He called his subordinates, found a reason, and walked out of the room.

I don't know if it was Yan Maoqing's delusion, those subordinates who used to be extremely respectful and nodding bowed, now looked at him with an inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

……

On the way to the Ministry of Industry, Yan Maoqing was very careful, for fear of meeting a colleague, but fortunately, things went smoothly, and Yan Maoqing finally arrived at the Ministry of Industry without any danger.

After entering the Ministry of Industry, Yan Maoqing suddenly discovered that Zhang Runde, Minister of Punishment, Luo Longwen, Minister of Industry, and some members of the Yan Party had already gathered here to discuss the next countermeasures.

Seeing Yan Maoqing's arrival, everyone immediately stopped talking and all looked at him.

Yan Maoqing was a little guilty by the eyes of everyone, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Runde immediately pulled Yan Maoqing in, and said.

"Yan Maoqing, you came at a good time, you have a lot of tricks, just in time to give us some ideas!"

Seeing this situation, Yan Maoqing's face was full of helplessness. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to truthfully tell the purpose of his trip.

"Actually, I came here to ask you if there is any solution, who knows..."

Before Yan Maoqing finished speaking, a tall and thin official stood up and proposed to everyone.

"Right now, the news that Mr. Ge is seriously ill is spreading all over the court. With just a few of us little shrimps, how can we fight against the Qingliu? I see, we still..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Runde interrupted him coldly: "Shut up for me, you spineless thing!"

Suddenly being reprimanded by this, the tall and thin official didn't dare to speak any more, and hid in a corner despondently, without saying a word.

After Zhang Runde finished speaking, he looked around and said unhurriedly: "I know that there are many people at the scene who have the same idea as him, but have you ever thought about why they should accept our surrender?"

"In all fairness, how many of you here have clean butts?"

"When Xu Jie takes power, we will be the first ones he will liquidate. For so many years, the relationship between us and Qingliu has long been in dire straits, and there is no possibility of reconciliation!"

When Zhang Runde said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add: "Besides, Xu Jie is still counting on using the position under our buttocks to buy people's hearts!"

Zhang Runde's words successfully convinced most of the people present, because under the collapse of the nest, there are no eggs?
After all, right now, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter how big our rift is and how unwilling we are, we must work together to get through the difficulties in front of us first!
And Zhang Runde succeeded in gaining the trust of most of the people by virtue of what he said just now, and everyone asked him about the next countermeasures.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Runde pondered for a moment, and then ordered.

"Since Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xiao Ge are not here, then everyone will obey my orders!"

When Zhang Runde said this, he looked around and continued: "First of all, we must find out the authenticity of the rumors. The easiest and most direct way is to send someone to Yan Mansion to investigate the situation in person!"

When Zhang Runde said this, he turned his gaze to the side, and immediately spoke.

"This matter will be handled by Mr. Wang!"

After Zhang Runde's voice fell, the official who was caught by Zhang Runde's sight immediately stood up and assured everyone: "Well, leave this matter to me!"

After that, Zhang Runde looked at everyone, and continued: "Before investigating the authenticity of the rumors, everyone must not act rashly, and everything can proceed as usual!"

……

Compared to the panic on Yan Dang's side and the celebrations on Qingliu's side, the Inspector's Office where Hai Rui works is much calmer.

At this moment, in the duty room of the Procuratorate, Hai Rui was dealing with the impeachment memorial in front of him as usual.

Ever since the news of Yan Song's serious illness came out, people often asked Hai Rui side-by-side, hoping to hear some news from him so that he could prepare in advance.

From those people's point of view, Hai Rui's background was profound, and he might know something.

But when they saw that Hai Rui was still handling the impeachment memorials as usual, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

"Well, seeing Hai Rui's calm expression, this news must be a rumor!"

"That's right, Hai Rui's background is unfathomable, and he must have obtained the exact information long ago. Otherwise, how could he be so calm?"

"Really, who is spreading the rumors? If Mr. Yan Ge finds out, then it's okay?"

"Okay, okay, everyone should hurry back and deal with the official documents. If Mr. Zhao finds out, we'll all have to go back and forth!"

Just as Hai Rui put the impeachment memorials aside, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door.

Not long after, a subordinate official stepped into the duty room, lowered his head, and respectfully said to Hai Rui: "Master Du Yushi, Master Zhao wants you to go there immediately!"

Hearing this, Hai Rui turned his eyes away from the subordinate staff and spoke instead.

"Well, I'm going over now!"
