Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 272

Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the cabinet, believes in one truth: all traitors must be killed.Never give them the chance to make a comeback.

The Xiyuan cabinet was on duty, and Xu Jie had a memorial and a note by his hand.

The content of the memorial is that Lin Yuan, the censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached Yan Shifan and fled back to his hometown, ostentatiously, overhauled the house, indulged the slaves, and beat the court officials.

The note was Yan Shifan's wild words recorded by Youchunfang's spies: I will definitely take the heads of Xu Jie and Zou Yinglong to vent my hatred.

Xu Jie fell into deep thought: The emperor had ordered two years ago that anyone who impeaches Yan Song and his son will be punished without mercy.

And now the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Rites have taken control of the court.In the past two years, Yan Shifan has bribed the National People's Congress of the Supervisor of Rites.The Supervisor of Rites will definitely help Yan Shifan.

If Lin Yushi's book was handed over to the emperor by the supervisor of ceremonies according to the rules, then Lin Yushi's head would definitely be lost.

Xu Jie is an old fox.He figured out a way.This approach is a bit rogue.He laughed at himself and thought: To deal with a rogue father, as a subject, I can only use rogue methods.

The Xiyuan cabinet is very close to the Yongshou Palace.Xu Jie strolled outside the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Lu Fang, the supervisor of ceremonies, blocked Xu Jie's drive: "Xu Shoufu, the emperor is taking a nap. No one should disturb his slumber."

When Xu Jie heard this, he didn't answer, just fell to his knees and cried loudly!

A majestic chief minister of the cabinet cried out tears and snot, and the sound of wailing resounded through the sky.

Lu Fang quickly asked: "Xu Shoufu, why are you crying? Keep your voice down, the emperor is taking a nap!"

Hearing this, Xu Jie cried even louder!
"Wooooow, whooping, whooping." Xu Jie, an old man in his 60s, used all the crying methods he could think of.

In the main hall, Emperor Jiajing was awakened by Xu Shoufu's wailing.

Emperor Jiajing was furious: "Who is crying outside?"

Huang Jin, who was waiting on the sidelines, walked to the entrance of the main hall to have a look, turned around and reported: "Your Majesty, it is Xu Shoufu who is crying."

Emperor Jiajing said: "Why is the chief minister of the dignified cabinet so disrespectful? Let him in."

Xu Jie was brought into the main hall of Yongshou Palace by Huang Jin and Lu Fang.

Entering the main hall, Xu Jie knelt down with a "plop", and the loud cry sounded again: "Ah woo woo woo, oooooo, blah blah."

Xu Jie's sharp cry made Emperor Jiajing's scalp tingle: "Stop crying, what happened. You are talking!"

Xu Jie wiped his nose and tears, sobbed and said, "Your Majesty, belch, Your Majesty. I beg you to send people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to protect me. Save my life!"

Emperor Jiajing was at a loss: "You mean, someone wants to kill you? You are the chief minister of the cabinet. Apart from Zhen, who would dare to kill you?"

As Xu Jie continued to sob, he squeezed out three words between his teeth: "Yan Shifan."

Emperor Jiajing was a little strange: "Yan Shifan wants to kill you?"

Xu Jie cried and said: "Oh, Your Majesty, it was Zou Yinglong, a student of the minister who impeached Yan Shifan for embezzling the money from the Ministry of Industry. Yan Shifan hated the minister because of this. He recently sent a message in his hometown of Fenyi County to send someone to Come to the capital to take the heads of Chen and Zou Yinglong! I was bitten by a dog when I was young, so I am very timid. Now I am sixty-two. I thought that I would do some work for the emperor in my dying years. Hearing this After the news, I couldn’t sleep at night and had nightmares every night! Your Majesty, Yan Shifan won’t really send someone to kill the minister, right? It’s said that Jin Yiwei and the people from Dongchang are very skilled in martial arts, so they should be able to save the minister’s life, right?”

In the last month, before Emperor Jiajing took a nap, he had to eat the "Three Treasures Flying Ascension Pill" recently refined by the Taoist priests of Lingji Palace.Strange to say, Emperor Jiajing would become manic and irritable as soon as he took this elixir.Only after taking a nap for a while can the strength of the medicine be dissipated.

Xu Jie came to Yongshou Palace to mourn at the right time.

Emperor Jiajing was furious when he heard the words: "You bastard! I see that because of my relationship with Yan Song in the past, I didn't punish Yan Shifan severely. He actually wanted to murder my chief assistant? This is a fight with me!"

When Emperor Jiajing got angry, he forgot that he had decreed two years ago: no one should participate in the impeachment of Yan Song and his son, and those who violated it would be killed without mercy.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Xu Jie took out Lin Run's memorial from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate from his bosom.

"Your Majesty! Yan Shifan not only intends to murder the minister. He also escaped from Leizhou and returned to his hometown of Fenyi, ostentatiously, built mansions wantonly, instigated unscrupulous people and evil servants, and beat up the court officials." Xu Jie finally showed his knife.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the excerpt and threw it to the ground: "Yan Shifan's heart is beyond reproach! Lu Fang, immediately send people from Dongchang to Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province to arrest Yan Shifan!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he was horrified: Lu Fang had received so much money from Yan Shifan, so he would definitely protect him.If the people from Dongchang had notified Yan Shifan in advance, Yan Shifan would have rushed from his hometown of Fenyi County to Dileizhou in exile.Then let the housekeeper Yan Gui be the scapegoat for the overhaul of the house. . .Then Censor Lin Run became a complete false accusation, and he was going to lose his head!
To catch Yan Shifan, he must be caught in Fenyi County!

Xu Jie cupped his hands and said: "Report to the emperor. I think that since the papers on the impeachment of Yan Shifan were handed over by people from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, then people from Nanjing Jinyiwei should be sent to arrest Yan Shifan. Nanjing is a relatively short distance from Jiangxi. This will prevent Yan Shifan from fleeing abroad.”

Emperor Jiajing was thoughtful.He asked Lu Fang: "He Liu and Hu San, how many years have you been to Nanjing?"

Lu Fang replied, "Two years."

Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly: "These two things will hide away. They must live a fairy-like life in Nanjing. It's time for them to come out to serve me. Let them do the job of arresting Yan Shifan!"

Lu Fang wholeheartedly protects Yan Shifan.He knew in his heart that if people from Dongchang went to arrest Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan would still have a chance of life.But if it's He Liu and Hu San, go. . .Yan Shifan will be killed!

Lu Fang cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty, Nanjing Jinyiwei is staying behind at the yamen. The warriors and school lieutenants over there are just Shixun sons who can't do much. This case is of great importance, and the servants will see it. I should hand it over to Dongchang or Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi is more appropriate."

Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves: "I'll say it again, let He Liu and Hu San arrest Yan Shifan!"

"The emperor is wise, woo woo woo!" Xu Jie yelled, and then began to cry again.

Emperor Jiajing's scalp became numb again from Xu Jie's crying, and he hurriedly said, "Huang Jin, don't you hurry up and take Xu Shoufu back to Xiyuan to be on duty?"

Huang Jin takes Xu Jie back to Xiyuan to be on duty.In the duty room, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were sitting on chairs, looking at the memorials handed over from various places.

As soon as Huang Jin left, Xu Jie smiled through his tears, and said to Zhang Juzheng, "Taiyue, pour me a cup of tea quickly. I just cried so hard that my voice became hoarse, haha."
