Chapter 227 The Xu Family and the Yan Family Formed a Clique for Selfish Purposes (Subscription Request)

Dangyanfu Lane.

Xu Jie and Yan Song walked in front.

Yan Shaoting followed behind.

The lackey Yan Hu has already rushed over after hearing the news.

Yan Shaoting looked at Yan Hu who was following him, turned his head and gave him a look.

Yan Hu nodded, then bowed and clasped his fists, stopped and watched his master and eldest son leave the house.

Wait until everyone is gone.

Yan Hu quickly turned around, walked all the way to the backyard, passed through the secret door in the courtyard wall, and entered the dilapidated house next door.

In the courtyard.

Zhu Qi led Qi Dazhu, and the two had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Yan Hu coming, the two men stepped forward.

"Have the elder and tutor Yan both gone to the West Garden?"

Yan Hu nodded and looked at the two of them: "It's just as my eldest young master guessed. Xu Jie returned to Beijing today, so he hid his whereabouts and came to visit us. Now we are going to Xiyuan together."

Zhu Qi hummed.

Now we can proceed according to plan.

He immediately looked at Qi Dazhu beside him and said, "Go, spread the news according to the plan."

Since Qi Dazhu joined the Jinyiwei, he has undergone a period of intensive professional training. Now it is difficult to see that he originally looked like the honest and straightforward farmer from Zhejiang.

After hearing Zhu Qi's instructions, Qi Dazhu just nodded, turned around and walked to the other side of the courtyard wall.

He didn't go through the door either.

With a simple kick, he climbed onto the courtyard wall.

Then he spread his arms and slid out of the wall like a swallow.

Yan Hu stared with his eyes wide open.

Zhu Qi just smiled faintly: "Want to learn? You can come to my Jinyiwei to train for a year or two, and you will be able to do it."

Yan Hu held his breath for a moment, and after a long while he smiled innocently and said, "I am not lucky enough to have fun, so it is better for me to work with my eldest young master."

Zhu Qi just smiled and said, "Can we start the things planned in Miyun?"

Let’s get back to business.

Yan Hu's face straightened, he stopped smiling, nodded and said, "We can start now. My eldest master said that no matter what happens this time..."

"Xu Fan must die!"

Zhu Qi's eyes narrowed as he snorted coldly, "Such a traitor who takes human life lightly, even if the tutor does not take action, I, the Jinyiwei, will not refuse!"

After saying that.

Zhu Qi bowed, and like Qi Dazhu before him, he did not go through the door, but directly climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared outside the house.

Yan Hu looked at the place where Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu disappeared at the courtyard wall and curled his lips.

"Slut!"

"If you climb over the wall instead of going through the door, you will sprain your ankle sooner or later!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the secret door.

Yan Hu looked up at the high courtyard wall.

For no reason, a surge of anger rushed to the top of my head.

He spat viciously before pushing open the secret door and returning to Yan's residence.

And in Beijing.

Not long after.

When Xu Jie returned from Miyun, he did not go to Xiyuan to apologize first, but went to Yanfu Lane to spread the news that he had secretly connected with the Yan family.

The news spread in an instant and reached the ears of the civil and military officials and censors who were full of anger.

Good guy.

What is the Xu family going to do?
Why did the Yan family go to Xiyuan with Xu Jie?

Are these two families forming a clique for personal gain?

Isn’t it true that the Ming Dynasty is on the verge of collapse?
No!

Submit a memorial!

Impeach!

then.

The writers of the Ming Dynasty began to write impeachment memorials at an unprecedentedly fast and efficient speed.

Prepare to flood the entire Xiyuan.

When Xu Jie went to Yanfu Lane and invited Yan Song and Yan Shaoting to go to Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan together.

The three of them got off the carriage.

Then they saw that countless civil and military officials and censors were already waiting outside the Wanshou Palace.

behind.

There was also a steady stream of officials rushing over.

Yan Song was helped out of the carriage by Yan Shaoting.

He glanced at the officials present.

The cabinet chief for many years was in full force.

Yan Song looked at the officials coldly and said in a cold voice: "You are not doing government affairs, but you are gathering here. What do you want to do?"

After he finished speaking, without letting these people speak, he just snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Xu Jie with his eyes, and the three of them walked towards the Wanshou Palace.

The officials present were so frightened by the Prime Minister's scolding that they stepped back one after another, made way, and stood on both sides with their heads down, not daring to say a word.

Yan Shaoting looked to both sides.

There were sparks in the officials' eyes.

But because of the power of Old Yan, he dared not say anything for the time being.

but.

Their fire is already burning.

As for how far this fire can burn.

It all depends on what will be said in front of the emperor at the Wanshou Palace.

The three of them walked into the Wanshou Palace in this way.

Walk up those high steps.

Xu Jie stood on the platform in front of the palace gate and then looked at the officers and soldiers on duty on the platform.

He bowed and said, "Please go to the palace gate, lift my good-for-nothing and rebellious son off the carriage, and bring him before the emperor to plead guilty!"

Guo Yuchuang, the lieutenant general of the Beijing camp who was leading the team on duty outside the palace gate, glanced at Yan Shaoting without saying a word.

After seeing Yan Shaoting also nodded silently.

Then he greeted everyone and led his men to the outside of Wanshou Palace.

Xu Jie also stood in front of the palace gate before Yan Song and Yan Shaoting, grandfather and grandson.

He waved his official robe with both hands, shook the hem, and knelt directly at the door of the palace.

"Your Highness, I, Xu Jie, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and the Minister of the Cabinet, bring the criminal Xu Fan to request an audience with Your Majesty!"

And outside the Wanshou Palace.

Guo Yuchuang also brought people to carry down Xu Fan, who was lying paralyzed in the carriage.

The officials guarding outside the palace gate were shocked when they saw the scars all over Xu Fan's back.

There is no need to think about it, everyone knows that it must have been Xu Jie who did it.

But now that such a big thing has happened in Miyun, does Lord Xu think that he can help his son escape such a serious crime in this way?

The officials dared not speak.

But they all snorted coldly.

Wait until Xu Fan was carried into the Wanshou Palace.

The officials who had been guarding outside the palace gate began to exchange eye contact.

Not long after.

I don't know who started shouting, but everyone present started shouting in unison.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully request your judgment!"

"Xu Fan, the governor of Shuntian, broke the law knowingly, disregarded the grace of the emperor, and took human life lightly, causing thousands of people in Miyun to freeze to death in the fields. He should be punished by death!" "Your Majesty, I respectfully ask your Majesty to understand that Xu Jie, the deputy minister of the cabinet, did not teach his son well, failed to supervise and condoned the tragedy, and he should be punished!"

"The chief minister of the cabinet knew that Shuntian prefect Xu Fan had committed an illegal act and should be executed, and the second minister Xu Jie could not escape the blame. The Xu family father and son returned to the capital from Miyun, but they did not know to go to the palace to plead guilty in time, and instead colluded with Yan Song in private, trying to deceive the emperor."

"The Xu and Yan families control the cabinet, but instead of repaying the emperor's kindness, they dare to form a clique for personal gain. Their crimes are as serious as treason and they should be punished with the heinous crime!"

"The Xu and Yan families formed a clique for personal gain."

"Your Majesty, please punish severely and set the record straight!"

A roaring sound like a wave rushed into the Wanshou Palace from outside the palace gate.

Standing in front of the palace gate, the grandfather and grandson of the Yan family, who were accompanying Xu Jie who was kneeling at the gate, could not help but look at each other, then turned their heads to look at the open palace gate and at the officials who were already kneeling on the ground outside.

The old man and the young man standing behind Xu Jie couldn't help but smile when they looked at each other.

it is good!
very good!
Today, the chief minister and the second chief minister of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty formed a clique for personal gain!
Even if the emperor comes, he will be charged with the same crime!
Yan Shaoting immediately started to curse, "Are these bastards crazy?"

Yan Song shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "Talk less! Talk less!"

Xu Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, looked back with a puzzled look at the officials outside the palace gate who were excited and even accused the Xu and Yan families of forming a clique for personal gain.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at the Yan family's grandfather and grandson, who had grim expressions on their faces.

What's going on here?
Xu Jie had no time to think about it at this moment.

Looking at Yan Song and Yan Shaoting with ugly expressions.

Xu Jie could only say in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Lord Yan, today's incident was all caused by my rebellious son. The Yan family is full of loyal people, and this incident has nothing to do with the Yan family!"

What else can I say?

The Yan family has made it clear today that they will not add insult to injury in this matter, and even accompanied him to the Wanshou Palace.

Could he still say that the Yan family was really forming a clique with the Xu family for personal gain?
Even if I am extremely unwilling.

Xu Jie could only say that the Xu family broke the law, while the Yan family was full of loyal ministers.

He glanced at his son who had been carried to the palace gate.

Xu Jie felt a heart-wrenching pain.

If it weren't for this rebellious son's confusion, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

And behind the gate of Wanshou Palace.

Lu Fang walked out with a sullen face.

He saw Xu Jie kneeling on the ground, Xu Fan lying on the shelf, and the Yan family's grandparents and grandchildren standing beside them.

Lu Fang no longer had the enthusiasm she once had.

He just said, "It just so happens that you are here too. The other two cabinet ministers and the ministers of the six ministries are also in front of His Majesty. Please follow me into the hall and come before His Majesty."

After saying this, Lu Fang didn't give any other instructions or reveal anything else. He turned around and disappeared behind the palace gate again.

Xu Jie's eyes flickered.

Gao Gong, Yuan Wei and people from the six ministries were already in the Wanshou Palace.

Are you going to report the Xu family?

He couldn't help but look at Yan Song and Yan Shaoting.

When I returned to the city today, both the grandfather and grandson of the Yan family did not go to the government office but were basking in the sun at home.

Could it be that.

The Yan family really won't take advantage of this matter.

That kneeling I did today.

Redundant?
Xu Jie's mind became increasingly complicated. He could only temporarily suppress his wild thoughts. He and Yan Song, Yan Shaoting and Xu Fan, who was carried by officers and soldiers, entered the Wanshou Palace.

Entered the temple.

The emperor did not receive his ministers in the inner hall today.

Instead, he chose to stay in the front hall.

Xu Jie entered the hall, glanced at the people present and the emperor, then quickened his pace and came before the emperor.

Facing the gazes of colleagues who were so familiar to me in the past.

Xu Jie shook his official robe and knelt heavily on the golden bricks in the hall.

then.

Xu Jie clasped his hands together and raised them high, then knelt forward and bowed heavily to the ground, almost prostrating himself.

"I, Xu Jie, have come to see Your Majesty with my rebellious son, the criminal official Xu Fan. I ask Your Majesty to severely punish Xu Fan and me for our crimes."

With so many people present, there was no other possibility except that they were discussing the Miyun Massacre.

Rather than letting one of these people come out first to impeach.

It would be better to confess your guilt voluntarily.

Yan Shaoting supported Yan Song to the nearest position to the emperor, and Lu Fang also moved a stool over as usual.

Yan Song sat down, and Yan Shaoting sat beside him.

He turned his neck and met the eyes of many people present.

And in the back.

Xu Fan, who was carried in, had actually crawled up like a cricket cocoon and knelt beside his father Xu Jie.

Like Xu Jie, Xu Fan prostrated himself on the cold gold bricks.

"I, Xu Fan, the prefect of Shuntian, was deeply favored by the Emperor and appointed by him, but I failed to supervise and manage my subordinates properly, which led to the Miyun tragedy and the tragic deaths of innocent people.

"My crimes are extremely serious. I will never deny them even if I die. I will never bring back the people. I have failed the emperor in every way. If my death can appease the anger of the people, I am willing to die. Please judge for me, Your Majesty!"

Talking.

Xu Fan's face was already pale and sweaty as he stood up.

Then he kowtowed again heavily.

After bowing three times, he never stood up again.

The whip marks on his back, which had already formed calluses, began to crack open because of this movement.

Countless blood just gushed out.

There was silence in the hall.

Everyone's eyes turned upwards, to the emperor hidden behind a pearl curtain.

There was a hint of coldness in Jiajing's eyes.

I had just recently forgiven Xu Fan for a serious crime.

now.

How long has it been?

How long has it been?

This led to the tragedy in Miyun.

The anger in his heart was almost enough to set the Wanshou Palace on fire again.

But Jiajing still held back and looked at the ministers outside the pearl curtain.

In here.

I'm afraid half of the people will speak for Xu Jie and Xu Fan.

He looked at Yan Song and Yan Shaoting who were in the front.

Jiajing's pupils contracted.

The Yan family was really just as those minor officials outside the palace said.

Did they really form a clique with the Xu family for personal gain this time?

As for the millions of taels of wealth hidden in South City, does the Yan family also want a share of the profits?

After some thought.

Jiajing then spoke in a quiet voice.

"Miyun?"

"What happened in Miyun?"

"Isn't it today that we are discussing the matter of the Censor Hai Rui and the petition for the imperial court to govern the country?"

"Lü Fang!"

"Have you, the dog slave, also learned to deceive me?"
