Chapter 232: Your Majesty is my only lover

The emperor shouted coldly.

Yan Shifan just bowed awkwardly and shrank into the crowd aside.

I've finally been able to get in here, how can I just get out so easily?

The emperor must have said that in anger just now.

Can't be taken seriously.

really.

After Jiajing cursed, he saw Yan Shifan shrinking to the side and ignored him.

This is a scoundrel.

There's no need to bother with this guy.

His eyes turned to Ouyang Bijin.

"The Censorate."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Bijin stepped forward and said, "I am here."

Jiajing's eyes turned and he asked, "Does the Xiantai still think that my cabinet's chief minister and cabinet's deputy minister are forming a clique for personal gain?"

Ouyang Bijin lowered his head and said nothing.

What else can I say?
Yan Shifan of his own Yan family even threatened to chop off the head of the second-in-command Xu Jie.

What can I say?
At this moment.

Jiajing looked at Xu Jie.

"Xu Jie."

"The minister is here."

"Everyone in the Xiantai said that you and Yan Song formed a clique for personal gain. Is that true?"

Xu Jie's face was pale at this moment, and he was heartbroken due to the loss of his son.

Can face the emperor's questions.

Xu Jie could only raise his head, with a face full of sadness, and replied in a deep voice: "This has never happened! Today's incident is all because I did not teach my son well and I was arrogant and lawless. I have never asked Lord Yan to intercede for me and the guilty minister Xu Fan in front of the emperor and beg for mercy.

"The three generations of Lord Yan's family have served in the court and have devoted themselves to serving the country. I don't know why the officials of the Xiantai would say that Lord Yan was in a clique with me for personal gain.

All the mistakes today are my fault. Your Majesty is wise and decisive. Please punish me and I will obey your orders."

Jiajing nodded and hummed.

Then he looked at Yan Song and Yan Shaoting, the grandfather and grandson.

"Lord Yan, Yan Shaoting, what do you think? Have you ever formed a clique with Lord Xu to pursue personal interests, colluded with each other, controlled the government, and brought disaster to the country?"

Yan Song raised his head and was about to speak.

But Yan Shaoting got there first.

In full view of everyone, Yan Shaoting lightly lifted his official robe, took a step forward with his right foot, and knelt on the ground.

"Start your Majesty."

"The officials of the Xiantai impeached me and Lord Yan for forming a clique with Lord Xu for personal gain. Lord Yan and I dare not admit it!"

"If you say that I and Lord Yan are guilty, then the crime is that we were able to go out and walk around and work in the government office, but we were afraid that the disease had not been completely cured, so we submitted a petition to the emperor to rest at home. Because of this, I and Lord Yan did not know about the Miyun incident."

"If I am guilty, then it is because I and Lord Yan were resting at home today and Lord Xu came with his son. I and Lord Yan did not know what Lord Xu meant and failed to report to the relevant government offices that Shuntian prefect Xu Fan had returned to the capital."

"But if you say that Lord Yan and I, together with Lord Xu, have formed a clique for personal gain and are in cahoots with each other, Lord Yan and I will never agree with this crime!"

Yan Shaoting raised his head and looked at the old Taoist priest behind the bead curtain.

just now.

Everything is back to my plan.

He lowered his head and spoke again.

"Lord Yan was a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of the Hongzhi reign. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he was promoted to the Nanjing Hanlin Academy as a reader, in charge of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy. In the fourth year, he was promoted to the Imperial Academy as a priest. In the eleventh year, he was promoted to the Nanjing Minister of Rites. In the thirteenth year, he was changed to the Nanjing Minister of Personnel."

"In the fifteenth year, Yan Ge Lao went to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty, and was retained by His Majesty as Minister of Rites and concurrently a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. In the twenty-first year, Yan Ge Lao was promoted to Junior Protector and Grand Protector of the Crown Prince, and was still in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and concurrently a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and entered the cabinet to participate in all matters."

"Since I was young, your Majesty has taken pity on me, so I have been able to receive your help. This year, I was given the position of a thousand-household official in the Jinyiwei. I was initially appointed as the tutor of the prince of Yuwang Palace, and later concurrently served as the right son of the Right Spring Office of the Zhanshi Palace, and concurrently as the tutor of the Hanlin Academy. I was also appointed as the Langzhong of the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Director of the Changping Public Security Division. I have been in charge of many things."

"This minister and I are officials of the Ming Dynasty and are trusted ministers of Your Majesty."

"The positions and responsibilities that I and Lord Yan hold now are all appointed by Your Majesty."

"Every step that Lord Yan and I have taken has been a result of your majesty's grace and promotion."

"If we talk about collusion, then Lord Yan and I are in league with Your Majesty!"

"As for forming a clique for personal gain, Lord Yan and I can only be your Majesty's clique!"

"If we talk about the connection between the upper and lower levels, it means that I and Lord Yan are paid by the emperor, receive orders from His Majesty, and obey His Majesty's orders to do our work."

"As for controlling the government, it is because your majesty trusts me and Elder Yan and has entrusted us with the important task."

"As for the disruption of the imperial court, Lord Yan and I are deeply indebted to the Emperor. Every day we think about how to serve the country with loyalty and repay His Majesty's grace. We do what His Majesty thinks and what we do for the country and the people. Changping is a clear example!"

I, Yan Shaoting, am a big member of the royal party!

It’s the Emperor’s men!
A long speech.

The entire Wanshou Palace Hall was filled with silence.

If the verbal dispute with Yan Shifan just now made the emperor take back what he said, it was unexpected, but also reasonable.

So what Yan Shaoting said at this moment.

No one would ever think of this, and it has never happened.

But no one can find any fault with it.

Forming a clique for personal gain?

His Yan family had been in league with the emperor from the very beginning.

Behind the beaded curtain.

Jiajing was also confused.

He shook his head from side to side, and his eyes kept scanning the officials in the hall.

Finally, he looked at Yan Song and Yan Shaoting.

Xu Fan embezzled money and hid himself in a house in the south of the city.

Since the beginning of the year, Yan Shaoting has given himself millions of taels of silver.

This is called forming a party.

If you really think they are your own party of subjects, then they are the only ones left.

However, Yan Shaoting was not finished speaking.

His voice continued to echo in the hall.

"I don't know why the Xiantai officials said that I and Lord Yan were in a clique with Lord Xu for personal gain. Lord Xu was not aware of the Miyun incident in advance. After hearing the news, he rushed to Miyun. Although his actions seemed to be a case of acting first and reporting later, he did not hide anything.

"After returning to the capital, he never asked me to intercede with Lord Yan. Lord Xu admitted his guilt and left everything to your majesty's judgment.

If this is the case, then the Xu family and the Yan family are forming a clique for personal gain, and that means the whole court is full of cliques, right? "

The old Taoist priest still needs Xu Jie to be alive and stand in the court, nailed to the cabinet.

As the emperor's vassal, I naturally have to meet the emperor's needs.

Help the emperor solve his problems.

Say what the emperor cannot say.

Xu Jie glanced at Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting really did not take advantage of others' misfortune. Even when he killed all the people from Miyun, he explained it by saying that he acted in an emergency.

There was a gleam in Jiajing's eyes and he smiled coldly in his heart.

"Okay!"

"What a loyal subject of mine!"

Jiajing quickly looked at Ouyang Bijin and the censors of the Censorate.

"Now let's talk about whether the Yan family and the Xu family formed a clique for personal gain and disrupted the government?" Ouyang Bijin bowed, clasped his fists, and lowered his head.

The censors and judges from the Censorate present also bowed their heads and clasped their fists.

Seeing that no one in the hall spoke again.

Jiajing smiled faintly.

At this point, the matter has actually come to an end.

The story ends with Xu Fan being imprisoned awaiting further orders.

However, Yan Shaoting turned his gaze and looked at Gao Gong standing beside him.

At this moment, Gao Gong was winking at the Minister of Revenue Gao Yao.

The three million taels of gold and silver treasures hidden by Xu Fan in South City!

"His Majesty!"

"I still have something to say!"

Yan Shaoting shouted immediately.

Jiajing frowned and looked over.

He has now become the leader of the so-called minister party mentioned by Yan Shaoting.

It's already quite ridiculous.

If we let him continue talking now, I don’t know what will happen.

But Yan Shaoting had already shouted: "I want to make a report on the three million taels of gold and silver treasures hidden by Xu Fan in South City!"

Jiajing's eyes suddenly raised.

I was almost confused today and even forgot the most important thing.

He immediately said, "Go on!"

Yan Shaoting nodded.

Under Gao Gong's surprised gaze, Yan Shaoting opened his arms and then clasped his hands.

"The people of Miyun have just experienced a horrific tragedy, and it is precisely because of this that the people have flocked to the capital."

"Although the people have now been suppressed and controlled by the loyal and capable officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp, the people's hearts are bound to still be in turmoil."

"I dare to advise that the three million taels of gold and silver treasures in Nancheng should be immediately taken over by the court. Your Majesty will make the final decision and allocate money to provide relief to the people to demonstrate your majesty's benevolent governance."

After he finished speaking, Yan Shaoting slowly lowered his head and smiled.

With the old Taoist priest's intelligence and wisdom, he would certainly understand the meaning of what I said before and after.

I, Yan Shaoting, only love Your Majesty!
Everything I think about is for you, old Taoist priest!
When Yan Shaoting suddenly interrupted and finished speaking.

Gao Gong widened his eyes.

Gao Yao also felt a black screen before his eyes.

Three million taels of gold and silver treasures!

Just as Yan Shaoting said these words lightly, they were swept away from his sight.

Jiajing smiled knowingly.

really.

After all, I didn't misjudge him.

Jiajing's eyes flickered and he looked at Yan Shaoting dimly.

What this kid did today might have some unknown plot behind the scenes, but in the final analysis, he still cares about me.

Jiajing immediately waved his arms and said with a smile: "Yan Qing is a loyal and good minister who loves the people with all his heart. I and the officials in the court are aware of this."

Yan Shaoting is a loyal and honest person!

Jiajing's eyes swept over everyone present.

Even though they were unwilling in their hearts, Gao Gong and Gao Yao still clasped their fists and bowed, and spoke together with the others.

"Yan Shidu is a loyal and good minister, loyal to the country, and is a blessing to the people of the Ming Dynasty and the court."

Yan Shaoting even said hurriedly: "At the moment, I don't know what will happen to the people of Miyun in the city, let alone the current situation of the local people in Miyun. I think Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible and allocate money and food. This matter must not be delayed."

Jiajing's face was full of smiles at this moment.

He nodded repeatedly.

"Good good!"

"Since Lord Yan has said so, how can I let the people remain in panic for too long?"

After saying this, Jiajing's face brightened.

"Beijing Camp, Five Military Commandery."

Xu Yande, Zhang Rong, Zhu Xizhong, Gu Huan and others who rushed to Xiyuan today immediately clasped their fists.

These meritorious military generals of the Ming Dynasty spoke in loud and clear voices.

"Chen is here!"

Jiajing paused slightly.

This is a rare kind of heroism.

He said, "Order the Beijing camp to immediately appease the people of Miyun in the city, and bring them... to the various camps in the capital for temporary resettlement. Quickly transport the money hidden by Xu Fan in the South City to the West Garden, and allocate 100,000 taels to purchase rice, charcoal, cotton clothes and quilts, and distribute relief to the people entering the city.

Tomorrow, the Beijing camp will send out soldiers to escort the people back to Miyun. Another 100,000 taels will be allocated, along with the property of the officials, clerks and other people confiscated from Miyun, to provide relief and resettlement for the people of Miyun. "

Gu Huan immediately bowed and clasped his hands.

"I obey your order and will do it immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Huan bowed and slowly stepped back, leaving the Wanshou Palace Hall.

Jiajing also swept through Xu Jie, Yan Song and Yan Shaoting.

Finally it stopped on Gao Gong.

"A tragedy has suddenly occurred in Miyun, and the people must be in a state of panic. I order Gao Gong and Guo Pu to lead the officials of the government to Miyun to punish evil and promote good, and make sure that no criminals can escape punishment.

On my behalf, provide relief to the people of Miyun, halt all construction projects, and escort all accomplices back to Beijing to be jailed and interrogated."

Neither the Yan family nor the Xu family is suitable to go to Changping to do this now.

And handing it over to Gao Gong became a natural thing to do.

Gao Gong immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.

However, the new Minister of Personnel, Guo Pu, walked out with his hands clasped.

"His Majesty."

"At present, Shuntian prefect Xu Fan has been imprisoned and is awaiting the emperor's order. The Shuntian chief official is vacant, and most of his subordinates are also involved in illegal activities. Should we decide on the official selection at this time, appoint a new official to take office, and raise funds for all parties?"

Monthly ticket recommendation ticket

　I can’t write anymore, so I’ll stop here today.

The guys in the group know that I was going to go to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, but the doctor was on leave, so I will go to the hospital again later today.

I have been sleep deprived recently, and my sleep quality is poor. I lie in bed at one o'clock and can't fall asleep until three or four o'clock. I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is very uncomfortable.

I was planning on adding another chapter today, but I just can't do it.

Let me just talk about the plot.

The core of Jiajing now is to maintain the balance of the court and get the money himself. So he doesn't care about some details, just like he really doesn't know what the Yan family has done for so many years?
In addition, while retaining the image that the masters like, I also want to start transforming the character of Young Cabinet Minister Yan Shifan. Today's updated chapter is a start.

Finally, Xu Fan is definitely going to die, and as mentioned above, Jiajing needs to keep Xu Jie to balance the court. As for when Xu Laogou will be driven away or killed, let me keep it a secret, and I will deal with it slowly later.

Next, the protagonist will use what is happening now to start trying some truly new systems or reforms.

Don't worry, gentlemen. I have started to take care of my body, but I will definitely not delay the daily updates.

The story is not over yet, so stay tuned.
