Chapter 460 Showdown
Not long after, Jiajing took the dragon and marched towards Yan's mansion.

The road along the road has long been cleared, and the people have all been driven back to their homes. There are soldiers patrolling everywhere on the street. At this moment, they look nervous and are searching for every possible hiding place with their eyes.

Not only that, there are countless brocade guards guarding Jiajing's safety both openly and secretly.

Before that, Yan Shifan had already heard the news that Jiajing was going to visit in person, and quickly asked the housekeeper to make preparations to welcome Shengjia.

At this moment, the dragon on which Jiajing was riding had arrived not far from the Yan Mansion, and every five steps on the street, there was a soldier in charge of guarding.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing withdrew his gaze, and immediately withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Lu Fang at the side, and asked.

"Lu Fang, what do you think the court is like now?"

Hearing Jiajing's words, Lu Fang lowered her head, looked at the ground under her feet, and immediately responded.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that once the news of Yan Ge's serious illness spreads, the hearts of the government and the public will inevitably fluctuate!"

"I'm afraid most of the officials in the court are thinking about how to get closer to Xu Jie?"

After Jiajing listened to Lu Fang's answer, he also nodded indiscernibly, and said slowly: "Yes, people's hearts are floating right now, and I have no problem with some people wanting to go further, but isn't it a little too impatient? "

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang responded without thinking: "The person His Majesty mentioned, could it be Xu..."

Lu Fang hadn't finished speaking, but she quickly realized that she stopped talking abruptly, looked at the ground casually, and said nothing.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang lightly, and said unhurriedly.

"Say, why don't you continue talking?"

Lu Fang was helpless. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately answered bravely: "Your Majesty, is the person you are referring to Xu Jie, old Xu Ge?"

Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang, and said slowly: "Who else is there besides him, don't think I don't know Xu Jie's little tricks that he did without telling me, it's just that I have been keeping a close eye on this all along. Close one eye."

When Jiajing said this, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"Although Yan Song is easy to use, he is getting old after all, and he is gradually unable to control the people under his command. If no one puts pressure on him, the strict party will definitely become difficult to control. At that time, how can they be so determined?" Do something for me?"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Lu Fang suddenly felt that everything became clear, and all the doubts in the past disappeared at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang followed this train of thought and continued to think.

"Your Majesty keeps Xu Jie in order to control the Yan Party so that they can do things with all their heart. Even if the Yan Party can't get through, Your Majesty can rely on Qingliu's strength to get things done!"

"But right now, Yan Song is seriously ill, and the long-standing balance has been broken. Will His Majesty take measures against this?"

"If His Majesty wants to take measures, what method will he choose?"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly recalled in her mind what Zhao Zhenji reported to Jiajing: "The Songjiang Xu family where Xu Jie is located has annexed 28 mu of land!"

"That is to say, His Majesty has always held Xu Jie in his hands. As long as he wants to, he can kill Xu Jie at any time!"

"Right now, if Yan Song dies, Qingliu will definitely become difficult to control, and His Majesty might send Xu Jie away as well!"

Thinking of this, Lu Fang looked at Jiajing with horror.

What he didn't expect was that Jiajing had already made complete preparations before this. If Yan Song died, Xu Jie would not be able to escape!
Just when Lu Fang was in a daze, Jiajing's voice from the ancient well sounded beside Lu Fang's ear: "Lu Fang, what are you still doing in a daze, here you are!"

Hearing this, Lu Fang suddenly came back to her senses, lowered her head deeply, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

At this moment, the main entrance of Yan Mansion.

Yan Shifan and the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital knelt here early, waiting for Jiajing's arrival.

When the dragon on which Jiajing was riding arrived at the gate of Yan Mansion, under the leadership of Yan Shifan, everyone immediately said in unison.

"My humble servant welcomes His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Hearing this, Jiajing stepped down from the dragon, and then glanced over them one by one. After a while, he gave orders.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's consent, everyone slowly got up from the ground full of gratitude.

Jiajing didn't exchange too many pleasantries, but went straight to the point, turned his attention to Yan Shifan, and said: "Take me in and have a look!"

"As ordered, Your Majesty, please come this way!"

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he led the way in front of him with a look of humility on his face, while the group of imperial physicians just followed behind Jiajing anxiously.

Under the leadership of Yan Shifan, everyone came to Yan Song's room after passing through a long corridor.

After that, Yan Shifan stopped, turned around, and reported to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, the room where my father is in is ahead."

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded slightly at Yan Shifan, then turned around, looked at the imperial physicians, and asked.

"I ask you, what is the situation of Mr. Yan Ge?"

Hearing these words, those imperial physicians knelt down on the ground tremblingly, mustered up their courage, and responded.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge's current symptoms include abnormal body temperature, accompanied by hemoptysis, night sweats and other symptoms."

"Combining with the information we got from Elder Xiao Ge earlier, the disease that Elder Yan Ge suffers from is undoubtedly tuberculosis!"

When Jiajing heard this, an impatient expression appeared on his face, he glanced at the imperial physician coldly, and said in a deep voice.

"Where is there so much nonsense, you just say, can Yan Song's illness be cured?"

Seeing this situation, the imperial doctor immediately panicked, hesitated for a long time, but did not say what was going on, and the hearts of all the people present sank when they saw this.

"This means that Yan Song's condition is very difficult, and there is little hope for a cure!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang stood up immediately, her face was full of gloomy, and she immediately reprimanded: "You are really stupid, Your Majesty is asking you something!"

Seeing this situation, the imperial doctor's face became even more panicked, and he kept kowtowing to the ground.

At this moment, Li Taiyi, who had been silent all this time, stood up as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of a crime!"

When Jiajing heard the words, he couldn't help showing a little curiosity on his face, and immediately asked: "Oh, Doctor Li, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Jiajing's eyes fell on him, Li Taiyi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and told everything he knew.

"Actually, before this, the last time Weichen treated Mr. Yan Ge, he discovered Mr. Yan Ge's illness!"

After Li Taiyi's words fell, everyone present showed surprise on their faces, especially Yan Shifan.

When Doctor Li said this, he looked around and continued: "After learning that Mr. Yan Ge was suffering from tuberculosis, I urged him to take a rest and prescribed some medicines for his health. !"

"Unexpectedly, Elder Yan Ge made Wei Chen swear in front of him that he would not reveal his illness to anyone. At that time, there was only one maid present. Facing Elder Yan Ge's request, Wei Chen did not dare to disobey. In the face of the elder Yan Ge, I swore an oath."

When Yan Shifan heard the words, he immediately reacted, turned his gaze to Li Taiyi, and asked.

"Is the maid who was there at that time the one who decocted medicine for my father?"

At first, Imperial Physician Li was still a little confused, but after Yan Shifan gave a rough description of the maid's clothes and appearance, Imperial Physician Li reacted immediately and confirmed with certainty.

"Well, that's right!"

After that, Yan Shifan summoned the maid in charge of decocting medicine for Yan Song in front of everyone, and learned the truth from her mouth.

Since Imperial Physician Li completed the diagnosis and treatment of Yan Song, Yan Song did not follow the advice of Imperial Physician Li, and still went his own way, corresponding to Yan Song's deteriorating physical condition.

Not only that, but the number of times of taking medicine has gradually increased from three times a day at the beginning to four or even five times a day, and just before Yan Song vomited blood, the number of times of taking medicine has reached as many as six times a day!
It wasn't until this time that Yan Shifan realized that the clay pot full of medicine dregs he had seen earlier was not untreated medicine dregs that had been accumulated before, but because the medicine had been taken too many times, and the remaining medicine dregs had no time to dump. for the sake!

After listening to Dr. Li's narration, everyone was also silent for a long time, not knowing how to respond.

At this moment, Li Taiyi's trembling voice came out: "I have made such a big mistake, please Your Majesty deal with me!"

When Jiajing heard the words, he just looked Li Taiyi up and down, but did not respond.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the development of the matter to this point has nothing to do with Dr. Li. Because of this, I implore Your Majesty to forgive me!"

After that, Yan Shifan knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' and begged Jiajing.

After Yan Shifan, those imperial physicians also begged Jiajing: "I implore Your Majesty to forgive me!"

After Jiajing heard the words, he was silent for a while, then turned his gaze to Li Taiyi, and gave instructions.

"Since this is the case, then fine the salary for two months as a punishment!"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Li immediately showed a look of gratitude on his face, and kept kowtowing on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone present knew that the emperor had spared Imperial Physician Li's life, otherwise, Imperial Physician Li would have to be held accountable, and if he didn't keep it all in order, his entire family would be punished.

After that, Jiajing turned his gaze to the room where Yan Song was, and asked the imperial physician beside him.

"In that case, can I go in and see Elder Yan Ge now?"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, those imperial doctors buried their heads deeply, and after thinking for a long time, they gave a response.

"Please, Your Majesty!"

Facing the emperor's request, they dare not refuse, after all, this is probably the last time between their monarchs and ministers!

After that, Jiajing nodded slightly, and then walked into Yan Song's room alone.

……

As soon as he entered the room, a strong and pungent medicinal smell flooded Jiajing's nostrils, and then, the silver needles used by the imperial doctors on the table appeared in front of Jiajing one by one.

Just when Jiajing was in a daze, Yan Song's extremely weak voice sounded in the room: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, are you here?"

Jiajing followed the prestige and saw that Yan Song was struggling to get up from the bed to salute Jiajing.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing immediately stepped to Yan Song's side, shook his head, and said slowly.

"No need!"

After Yan Song heard this, he stopped his movements, his eyes were full of loneliness, and after he coughed twice, he spoke to Jiajing.

"Wei... I have made Your Majesty trouble you, cough cough!"

Jiajing did not make any comment on this, but moved a stool, sat in front of Yan Song's bed, and comforted him.

"It's okay, I have already consulted the imperial physician outside, and they said that you will get better soon."

When Yan Song heard this, a helpless smile appeared on his pale face, and he turned to speak.

"Your Majesty, I am the most aware of the physical condition of this minister, I cannot last long!"

Yan Song didn't wait for Jiajing to respond, and continued: "Speaking of your majesty, how long has this minister been your cabinet minister?"

After Jiajing heard this, he thought for a moment, and immediately responded: "It's been 20 years!"

After listening to Jiajing's answer, Yan Song couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, and immediately said.

"Time flies so fast, 20 years have passed in a flash!"

"But what happened 20 years ago still comes to Weichen's mind from time to time. Weichen remembers that Xia Yan was the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, right?"

When Yan Song said this, he turned his gaze to Jiajing, and continued: "Weichen just took down Xia Yan, and just sat in the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet!"

Jiajing seemed to have a premonition of what Yan Song was going to say, but he didn't stop him, but just let Yan Song continue.

After that, Yan Song was silent for a moment, and continued: "Your Majesty, since I became the chief assistant of the cabinet, I have done a lot of wrong things and unjustly killed many Zhongliang!"

"There is a person that I remember very deeply. His name is Shen Lian. I remember that he was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing."

"At that time, he issued a list of ten crimes to impeach the humble official. The content in it, the humble official still remembers clearly, specializing in state affairs, corrupt and accepting bribes, selling officials and nobles, eliminating dissidents, being jealous of virtuous and capable, blocking the way of speech, framing Zhongliang, Corruption of military pay, and frequent occurrence of Japanese pirates along the southeast coast, Altan Khan in the north took the opportunity to plunder the people."

When Yan Song said this, he paused and continued.

"Your Majesty, whether the above-mentioned things were done by the humble minister, or someone in the name of the humble minister, I think you already have the answer in your heart!"
