Chapter 59
At night, Yan Mansion.

After Yan Song reported to Jiajing the situation of the land survey in Zhejiang, he returned home in a sedan chair.

"Father!" As soon as Yan Song got off the sedan chair, he saw Yan Shifan waiting outside the door with a respectful expression.

"Well, come into the house with me." Yan Song didn't say anything, just nodded, glanced at his son lightly, and said.

"Can your Majesty give a specific time?" Yan Shifan asked impatiently as soon as Yan Song replaced the foot.

"Well, yes, His Majesty said that when the weather gets warmer in February, the rice will be replaced with mulberry!"

Yan Song put the shoes he took off aside, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said.

"Then do you want to inform them and follow the previous method?" Yan Shifan continued to ask after hesitating for a moment.

"No need, let's ignore this matter for now, someone will help us!" Yan Song picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Father, what do you mean, Qingliu will choose this time to attack?"

"That's natural. Now that the land in Zhejiang has been measured, if they wait until the weather gets warmer and the conversion of rice to mulberry is officially implemented, they will have no chance to do so. His Majesty's anger will tear them to pieces, so This is the last chance!"

"My child understands. According to what my father said, we don't need to do it ourselves. We only need to make a small "mistake" when taking care of the embankment."

"Who are you going to entrust to handle this matter? Remember, you must find a reliable person!"

"Don't worry, I already have a suitable candidate in my heart."

"Well, that's good. If you have nothing to do, you can go back first. I plan to rest later."

After Yan Song finished speaking, he put on his reading glasses, took a book from the shelf beside him, and read it carefully.

"Father, the child will leave."

Seeing his father like this, Yan Shifan also bowed and said goodbye.

"Oh, by the way, as a teacher, you have to pay attention. Your student Gao Hanwen may be impeached recently, so pay attention to protect him."

When Yan Shifan was about to leave, Yan Song removed his cloudy eyes from the book and reminded.

Hearing his father's instructions, Yan Shifan suddenly paused before leaving, and responded: "My child understands."

……

Capital City, Prince Yu's Mansion.

In the study, there was a sound of quarreling, and the servants who were waiting outside the door had already been sent away.

"What are you still hesitating about? If you don't do it, it will be too late!"

"I don't think you should be in a hurry, you should wait until the right opportunity to make a move."

I saw Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng facing each other tit for tat, not giving in to each other, full of gunpowder.

"Hmph, I'm so stupid, if I don't do it now, do I have to wait until the next year when the weather is warmer? By then the day lily will be cold!" Gao Gong was a little annoyed, and his tone couldn't help raising his tone.

"At present, Zhejiang is full of people from the strict party. If you act rashly, you may be caught. When the matter comes to light, I'll see how you explain it." Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard, refusing to budge.

Ever since he was in the cabinet during the day, when Xu Jie learned that the land in Zhejiang had been cleared, Zhang Juzheng knew that the plan to destroy dikes and flood fields, which had been shelved because of his persuasion and informants, was about to restart again.

In order to achieve his own party's goal of fighting dissidents, at the cost of sacrificing the residents of nine counties and the land they owned, the current Zhang Juzheng thought he could not do such a dirty thing, so he also changed his previous attitude and argued with Gao Gong When they got up, the two sides faced each other with needlepoints and refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Finally, Xu Jie, who had been watching coldly, stopped the two of them.

"Both of you have your own reasons for what you two said, but the current situation is really not optimistic. At an extraordinary time, do extraordinary things!"

"Currently, the Yan Party has been favored by His Majesty for successfully proposing to reduce the expenses of the imperial family. At the same time, it has also won the favor of many scholars and officials. If this continues, the gap between us will widen! Therefore, I agree with Gao Gong. if."

Xu Jie's gaze swept over Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, and he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Xu Ge's words are justified." Yu Wang Zhu Zaicui, who had been listening in, also said.

"But!" After hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng was still a little unwilling and wanted to refute.

"There is no need to say any more, just follow what Gao Gong said just now."

"Let our people move, let's take Yan Shifan's apprentice first! Let the world see the virtues of his Yan Shifan's apprentice."

"Yes."

Seeing that Xu Jie stood beside him with a clear banner and supported his suggestion, Gao Gong couldn't help showing a smile, and hurriedly responded, while Zhang Ju, who was standing beside him, had a slightly gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, it's just a momentary argument, everyone, don't hurt your peace with this matter." Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was a little depressed, Xu Jie comforted him.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ge." Zhang Juzheng responded lightly, and returned to his previous taciturn appearance.

……

Early the next morning, when the inspector censor Zhao Zhenji stepped into the inspector's office, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that the originally empty table was full of impeachment memorials, and the petty officials were so busy that they stopped their work when they saw him coming in, and hurriedly saluted: "My lord!"

"This... What's the situation? Where did there come from so many impeachment memorials?" Zhao Zhenji ignored the salute of the little official, but stretched out his index finger to point to the mountain of memorials on the table, with a little trembling in his words.

"My lord, these were just delivered this morning, and it is said that there are still many on the way!"

"Get up." After Zhao Zhenji finished asking, he asked his subordinates to stand up, then sat down at the table, opened a memorial of impeachment, and carefully browsed the contents inside.

After reading the memorial in his hand, Zhao Zhenji put it aside, then randomly picked up an impeachment paper and read it.

Zhao Zhenji read one after another, and his brows became more and more furrowed. Among the memorials in front of him, there was only one person impeached, and that was Gao Hanwen, a student of Xiaoge Lao Yan Shifan.

"This is a big deal!"

Zhao Zhenji thought so in his heart, Yan Shifan impeached himself in front of His Majesty at the court meeting earlier, not only costing himself half a year's salary, but also lowering his image in His Majesty's mind!Now Qingliu Xu Jie and his gang impeached his students, which can be regarded as revenge for themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji's heart flashed with the pleasure of revenge.

"Okay, don't tidy up all of you! Report all these impeachment papers to the cabinet, just say that the matter is serious, and the inspectorate dare not make decisions easily."

"But, my lord, this is against the rules! We are the Inspectorate's duty..."

"Didn't you hear what I said? Send it to me!" Zhao Zhenji slammed the table, causing those subordinates to kneel on the ground in shock.

"Yes, my lord! I'll send these notebooks here."

Seeing that the boss was angry, those subordinates did not dare to find any excuses, so they had to collect the memorials of impeachment and send them to the cabinet.

Along the way, the subordinates of the Inspectorate were trembling, not to mention, it was the cabinet!Except for His Majesty, the Supervisor of Rituals and the five elders, no one can enter, besides, what happened today is unreasonable.

If you enter rashly, you may be punished with a felony. On the one hand, it is the request of the superior, and on the other hand, it is the law of the court. For a while, everyone lingered on the road to the cabinet with the memorials of impeachment.
