Chapter 284 The court is full of traitors
Pan En watched with his own eyes as Yan Shaoting wrote a letter, which he sent to the Censorate and then handed over to Gao Hanwen, the Left Censor-in-Chief.

Finally I breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he asked Yan Shaoting to give him the names of people whose charges needed to be cleared and the names of students who needed to be given official positions.

But Yan Shaoting said something.

It won’t be too late to give it to you once the matter of the Censorate is settled.

He believed in Paine's character and faith.

In this regard.

This caught Paine off guard.

He originally wanted to get the list in person and have the Yan family's servants help deliver it to the Ministry of Justice to get the matter done.

But since Yan Shaoting said so.

He didn't even think about denying the debt afterwards.

After all, if Gao Hanwen could let Pan Yunduan go, he could then find a reason to arrest him later.

Such as...we didn't find it out last time.

Reasons are always everywhere.

Watching Paine leave.

Yan Hu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to speak.

Yan Shaoting glanced at the lackey and said, "Take away the incense and open all the windows. It's so stuffy."

To create an atmosphere.

All I've been breathing is stagnant air.

Yan Hu hurriedly took the incense burner away and opened the windows on both sides.

The room suddenly lit up.

As the wind outside blew past, the air in the house became fresher.

Yan Shaoting looked at Yan Hu with a half-smile: "Do you want to ask, it seems that we didn't get any benefits this time?"

Yan Hu nodded.

The eldest young master has already written a letter and sent it to the Censorate to ask Censor Gao to release Pan Yunduan.

But the request made by the eldest young master did not require that old dog Pan to do it in a hurry.

This is not a losing business.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "The position of the Ministry of Justice will be taken by the master sooner or later. Giving the list to Paine now? He can tell Xu Jie about our people later."

Now it's on the surface.

The court only knew that Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue were his die-hard students.

But for other students, it was difficult to figure it out.

That being the case.

Yan Shaoting naturally wanted to keep these people secretly inside and outside the court.

Yan Hu still frowned, as if he was still thinking about this matter.

Yan Shaoting smiled and patted the table, then stood up and stretched his body which had become a little stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time.

"Remember one thing."

"If you want him to die, you must make him crazy."

"Leaving his post without permission is not a big deal, and it is not enough to bring down a minister of the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that.

Yan Shaoting staggered and walked out of the side hall.

Even if he held on to this matter, at most, Pan En would give up his eldest son's official career, and the Censorate and the court would at most strip Pan Yunduan of his fame and official position.

Do you want to bring down one of the six ministers by doing this?
Even vernacular novels like The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties would not dare to be written like this.

Walked out of the house.

Xu Wei appeared from nowhere.

Seeing Yan Shaoting coming out, he clasped his fists and walked forward.

"Paine has indeed come to the mansion as the tutor expected. Should I give the minister a message next?"

Yan Shaoting hummed, "Tell father to get ready to impeach me, Gao Hanwen and others."

Xu Wei nodded.

Since the Wanshou Palace meeting that day, Yan Shifan moved to a house near Yuhe Bridge in Nanxunfang, which is the same as the Ministry of Works.

External explanation.

It is convenient to work in the government office.

But why.

Naturally, the court had other plans.

Xu Wei glanced at Yan Shaoting and said, "The purpose of doing all these things this time, including the matter of Pan En's son Pan Yunduan, is actually to allow the Minister to naturally transform into a reformist in the court. With everything going on so far, I think it won't be long before the court can truly confirm this matter."

Yan Shaoting shook his head: "In the end, this matter still depends on what Zhang Juzheng thinks."

Lao Zhang has been known as a child prodigy since he was young.

Extremely intelligent.

The IQ is almost like a monster.

It is inevitable that Lao Zhang might see the truth of the matter.

Xu Wei said, "Even if Zhang Juzheng still has doubts in his heart, he can only accept the identity of the Minister of Reform after these things are settled and then push forward the planned things. Even if Zhang Juzheng still has doubts, he can only accept the identity of the Minister of Reform."

Thinking of the plan that has been rehearsed several times.

A smile also appeared on Yan Shaoting's face.

"Mr. Wenqing has worked hard. Now we can get the rest done."

Xu Wei nodded and bowed.

Then he turned and left.

Yan Shaoting raised his eyes and looked forward.

The wind became louder.

The sky was covered with dense clouds, which had changed from clumping to floc-like under the pull of the wind.

A heavy rainstorm is coming.

After leaving Yan's mansion, Paine took a carriage back to the Censorate.

He stood at the gate of the Censorate, looking inside eagerly, already feeling a little impatient.

Inside the Censorate.

Gao Hanwen smiled when he saw Yan Shaoting's handwriting.

Then he took his men to the house where Pan Yunduan was temporarily imprisoned.

There was a sound of the door locking outside.

Pan Yunduan, who had been locked up for three days, was lying on his side on the couch in the room. When he heard the noise, he immediately stood up and turned to look over.

The door is opened.

The light shines in.

Pan Yunduan raised his hands to cover his eyes and squinted.

Gao Hanwen changed his attitude from that day, with a smile on his face: "Master Pan! Master Pan!"

After getting used to the light a little.

Pan Yunduan put down his hand and saw clearly that the person coming was Gao Hanwen, and saw the smile on the other person's face.

He snorted coldly: "My father is here to take me home?"

Gao Hanwen bowed and nodded, saying, "Minister Pan and the carriages of the mansion are outside the government office. Master Pan has been busy in the government office for three days. It is time for him to go home and have a good rest."

"Busy?"

Pan Yunduan sneered, "Didn't you, Gao Hanwen, lock me up for three days? Do you think this matter can just be let go?"

Gao Hanwen smiled and walked forward, leaning closer and saying, "Mr. Pan is naturally busy with his duties at the government office. Although he is only an observer, I think he will have a real job soon. Minister Pan is already outside the government office. Mr. Pan should go home early and have a good rest!"

Pan Yunduan's eyes turned.

This is a new statement.

He hummed, raised his head and looked at Gao Hanwen: "I have done nothing illegal?"

Gao Hanwen shook his head repeatedly: "Of course you have done nothing illegal."

Pan Yunduan asked again: "Have I ever been absent from my post?"

Gao Hanwen continued to shake his head: "Since the young master took up his post as an inspector of the Censorate, he has not rested a day while on duty! He is truly a role model for our dynasty!"

Seeing Gao Hanwen's humble attitude.

Pan Yunduan was already feeling elated. It was just a small official, and his father could solve the problem with just one move.

His absence from his post turned into a stressful task for the government.

Just a moment.

Pan Yunduan's momentum rose again, and he almost said, "You..."

Gao Hanwen bent his waist even deeper: "Sir, you will be working in this department from now on. I will follow your lead!"

Pan Yunduan smiled, but still said with resentment: "These few days..."

Gao Hanwen took another step forward, supported Pan Yunduan, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, young master. Although I am of humble origin, I have served as an official in the court over the years..." This statement was already very explicit.

Pan Yunduan gave him a scrutinizing look.

Gao Hanwen said, "I have another house near the Yaowang Temple in the south of the city. It's not big... but if you have the hobbies in the future, it can be used as a golden house."

Golden house.

Of course it is used to hide a beauty.

Pan Yunduan could no longer hide the smile on his face, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I think Ouyang Bijin is just an old man. Although you have just entered the Censorate, my father has some face in the court. In the future, I think it is better to have the surname Gao in the Censorate!"

Gao Hanwen felt disgusted.

Is your surname Gao?
You really don't know how to write the word death.

But he said on his face: "It should be Pan!"

Hahahahaha!
Pan Yunduan laughed loudly without any scruples.

He said without hesitation: "Okay! The last name Pan is fine too!"

After saying that.

Pan Yunduan then left with a flick of his sleeves as light as floating on the clouds.

Gao Hanwen was naturally escorted all the way to the outside of the yamen.

When Paine saw that his son was indeed released, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I took my son home when I was busy.

however.

Things have only just begun here.

I don't know where the news came from.

The explanation given by the Censorate to Pan Yunduan was that he was indeed out on business that day.

But Yan Shifan directly submitted a memorial.

Yan Shaoting, Gao Hanwen, Paine, and even Ouyang Bijin were impeached together.

According to Yan Shifan's meaning.

These four people colluded with each other and formed a clique for personal gain. They knew that Pan Yunduan, a Jinshi in charge of observing government affairs, had left his post without permission, but they claimed that he was out on business. They broke the law knowingly and should be severely punished.

and.

Yan Shifan once again mentioned the issue of reform.

For a while.

The political situation fell into chaos again.

Everyone became more and more convinced that there was a problem within the Yan family.

The current situation must have happened because of disputes within the Yan family over whether to carry out reforms or not.

And at the same time.

Many people also began to wonder.

Even Yan Shifan wanted to impeach him.

How could Yan Shaoting and Paine be impeached together?

Paine is not...

Isn’t he from Qingliu and Cifu?

Together with now.

Yan Shifan betrayed the Yan family.

Paine also betrayed the second assistant?

Then what about Ouyang Bi Jin?

this problem.

Not only the officials of all ranks in the court were puzzled.

Even Xu Jie couldn't understand it.

Xu Mansion.

This time, there were only two people in the tea room: the Minister of Rites Yan Ne and the Minister of War Yang Bo.

Xu Jie was the first to speak: "I just can't figure it out. It's just a small matter. Why didn't the Ministry of Justice come to look for me, but chose to go to his Yan family?"

Of course he couldn't understand that Paine was angry with old man Xu because he thought of his son who had just died.

Yan Ne said, "Could there be some misunderstanding? Why don't we invite Ziren over and ask him about it first?"

The Minister of War Yang Bo, who usually didn't talk much, snorted coldly.

Xu Jie and Yan Ne looked over immediately.

Yang Bo said, "I think that since Yan Shifan was able to betray the Yan family, few people in the court can truly believe him!"

Yan Ne frowned immediately.

According to Yang Bo, Paine also betrayed them.

Yan Shifan was able to become a reformer.

This Paine can become a member of the Yan Party.

Yang Bo, however, had a cold face: "Ouyang Bijin, the in-law of the children, could never have anything to do with the Yan family, and Yan Shifan could become a reformist. Can't Pan Ziren become a member of the Yan Party?"

This court.

They are all traitors!

No one can be trusted!

Yang Bo’s words were very serious.

Yan Ne wanted to persuade him.

After all, after so many years, the team cannot be split up just like that.

What's more, Paine was the Minister of Justice.

Six ministers.

Each of them has its own place.

It is vital.

Xu Jie's eyes wandered around, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Could it be?

Did Paine really become a traitor in their respective teams just like Yan Shifan?

Now.

Wouldn't it be that the good student of mine would benefit the most?
My good student only needs to continue shouting slogans for reform.

Sitting on the seat of Shuntian prefect, he watched the fight between himself and the Yan family.

He can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, and finally reap the benefits.

Shuntian Mansion.

In the public office.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the news coming from all sides, but his expression did not brighten, but became more solemn.

He looked at his staff and muttered to himself.

"The last time the Ministry of Works settled the account with Prince Yu's Mansion, the matter has not yet been settled."

"Now this has happened again."

"Is someone setting this up?"

A figure flashed in his mind.

It’s Yan Shaoting.

The aide asked, "Based on the current situation and rumors from all sides, Yan Shifan does seem to have different political views from the Yan family. I heard that they are already preparing detailed reform regulations. Do you want to get in touch with him, my Lord?"

Zhang Juzheng frowned: "Hmm?"

The master lowered his head nervously: "If you really want to reform, no matter what your purpose is, it will always help the prime minister to gain momentum."

Yan Shifan.

He was a well-known minister in the Ming Dynasty.

He became a reformer.

He must have been attracted by Lord Zhang's charisma.

Just say it out loud.

Zhang Juzheng's calls for reform and his reputation would immediately rise to a higher level.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head: "I think... not entirely!"

The master looked puzzled.

Zhang Juzheng sneered.

"Let us also submit a memorial."

"Let's see what the rumors in the court are like."
