Chapter 520 He stole my lines!

"He just left?"

"What does Hai Gangfeng mean by this?"

"What? Doesn't this make it seem like my family is bullying him?"

In the alley of Yan's mansion, Yan Shifan looked at Hai Rui who turned around and left, with a confused look on his face, and asked three questions in succession.

And at the entrance of the alley.

The unknown busybodies were so annoyed when they saw Haibijia that they stormed out. Although no one knew what they talked about in the alley, the ending was obvious.

By blocking the door on the first day he returned to Beijing, he became the most crucial figure in the downfall of Xu Jie's family.

We suffered a setback and lost the battle in Yanfu Lane today.

This is big news.

It was even more shocking than when Hai Rui once again blocked the door of a powerful family in the court.

The crowd quickly dispersed, all trying to hurry and get what happened in Yanfu Lane to where it should go.

At the gate of Yan's residence, the three men, young and old, walked back home with gloomy faces.

Go around the screen wall behind the mansion gate.

Yan Shaoting began to laugh.

The voice was not loud, but the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

Yan Shifan frowned: "The door is blocked by Hai Rui, and you still..."

wrong!

In an instant, before he could finish his words, Yan Shifan shut his mouth.

Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
He immediately looked at his son who was still laughing, and then looked at his father: "Dad, is Hai Rui doing this on purpose?"

Yan Song narrowed his eyes and said, "I deliberately didn't know, but I'm sure I did it on purpose."

Yan Shifan blinked rapidly, then patted his son's back heavily and said with a glare, "Stop laughing! Now that you are my man, can you behave yourself a little?"

Yan Shaoting felt pain from being slapped and looked sideways at Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Tell me what you think. Do you think the same as your father?"

Although he had noticed something was wrong, Yan Shifan was still a little unsure.

My son seems to understand it better than I do.

It’s useless not to ask.

No money anyway.

Yan Shaoting curled his lips and said, "Hai Rui came here today for two reasons. First, as he said, my family is now too powerful in the court, both civil and military, which violates the distinction between civil and military. Second, it is to warn my family. If he can question us like this, then other people in the court can do the same."

"That's exactly what I thought."

Yan Shifan muttered.

Then he raised his eyebrows.

"This Hai Rui is honest and upright, he's a real man!"

After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the mansion again.

Yan Song asked with a sullen face: "What are you going to do now?"

Yan Shifan had already walked a long way and turned back to say, "Hai Rui is a real man. How can my family not appreciate his kindness? My son will go find him and invite him to the Baihua Pavilion for a drink!"

Baihua Pavilion.

It is a brothel that recently opened near the Goldfish Pond in South City.

No one knew who the boss was, but he got a batch of skinny horses from Yangzhou, and they became famous in the capital for a while.

Yan Song's face suddenly turned black.

But Yan Shifan had disappeared in a flash.

Yan Shaoting could only help the old man walk to the study in the backyard and whispered, "How could father go to look for Hai Rui? He wouldn't do such a stupid thing."

"Has he done enough stupid things?"

Yan Song enjoyed the support of his eldest grandson, but he glared at his son and scolded him.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "Father has become much more stable in the past two years."

Although this sounds a bit weird.

The son said that his father has become more stable.

But neither the grandfather nor the grandson thought there was anything wrong.

Yan Song snorted twice, then said, "Hai Rui's visit today is a reminder to us. Now that the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, anything can happen. You'd better be careful."

Yan Shaoting nodded: "Do you think Gao Gong will deal with us?"

"Gao Suqing?" Yan Song asked, then shook his head and said, "He is just impatient on the surface, but he is more insightful than anyone else in the court. The new policy that I was allowed to resign and return to is a layer of cassock on my body, and Gao Gong will also have to pull at this cassock."

Yan Shaoting smiled and asked, "So, Gao Gong will only be at peace with us without colluding with us, or will he deliberately make enemies with my family in order to lead the new policy?"

Yan Song nodded: "You can see through it and understand it clearly. Gao Gong would probably do the same thing."

Yan Shaoting smiled and said nothing more.

Yan Song continued, "But I'm afraid Gao Gong still doesn't understand one thing."

Yan Shaoting glanced over.

Think about it for a while.

He said, "Prince."

"It is the prince."

Yan Song said with certainty: "Although Gao Gong was a teacher in Prince Yu's mansion, has the Crown Prince been the same as before? Today in the palace, he asked you to assist in the military affairs of the Beijing Camp. This means that he has entrusted the safety of the capital to you and Gu Huan, and then wants you to reorganize the Beijing Camp. Such ambitions can still be controlled by Gao Gong?"

Yan Shaoting smiled but said nothing.

The so-called ambition is the most confusing and paralyzing thing.

I think the crown prince who now lives in the East Palace has been paralyzed by his ambition.

At this time, how could Zhu Zaigui be easily controlled by Gao Gong?

According to the old man, as long as this continues, when Zhu Zaigui ascends the throne, he will inevitably have disputes with Gao Gong over matters in the court.

By the time.

No matter what Gao Gong wanted to do, he would be constrained.

Since the Prime Minister has no time to take care of other things, the Yan family can rest assured.

Yan Shaoting spoke slowly: "Then now..."

Yan Song laughed.

Patted the back of his eldest grandson's hand.

"Let it be!"

……

"Don't let it happen!"

late at night.

Ouchi.

East Palace.

Bright lights.

A low groan.

Crown Prince Zhu Zaigui stood in front of a Ming Dynasty feng shui map in the bedroom of the Eastern Palace without even changing his clothes.

Looking at the two capitals, thirteen provinces, and nine states that belonged to the Ming Dynasty according to feng shui, Zhu Zaigui felt his heart surge with excitement.

In a few days, all nine provinces in the world will belong to you!
Zhu Zaigui's eyes kept flashing with light, and the court struggles during the Jiajing period kept emerging in his mind.

Now, before the late emperor passed away, he used thundering means to suppress the evil and disobedient people and implemented new policies.

After ascending the throne, it was natural for him to continue to implement the new policies.

in this way.

Then, when I am in power, my court can no longer allow these ministers to continue fighting aimlessly.

We must never allow these ministers to hold power again.

then.

Zhu Zaigui thought of the Yan family.

Today he was in the Qianqing Palace and wanted Yan Shaoting to assist in the military affairs of the Beijing camp for this reason.

His greatest support in the court now is the Yan family, and the Yan family is now also a hereditary noble family. They will take control of the Beijing Camp for him. With the help of the temporary civil servant skin of the Yan family, he can step by step bring the Beijing Camp back into the hands of the royal family and kick out the civil servants. This is one of his many ideas.

So what's next?

Naturally, he could use Master Gao, who was in the palace, to clean up those stubborn old party officials in the court.

However, today in Huangji Palace, Li Chunfang publicly criticized Yan Shaoting, but Gao Gong did not say a word, which made him very satisfied.

The imperial court.

It would be impossible to make the ministers live in harmony.

Although the checks and balances during the late emperor's lifetime also brought about fierce struggles in the court, they were not without their merits.

This is something Zhu Zaigui just realized today.

perhaps.

This is what it really means to be in the right position.

"Someone is coming."

Zhu Zaigui stood in front of the geomancer and shouted in a deep voice.

Soon, Feng Bao, who had been designated as the eunuch supervising the Imperial Horse Administration, appeared in the shadows behind Zhu Zaigui.

"The servant is here."

Zhu Zaigui did not turn around, but just said: "Tell the Imperial Household Department that the Yuxi Palace that was destroyed in the Western Garden does not need to be rebuilt, and construction will be stopped from now on."

Feng Bao immediately bowed and said, "I obey your orders."

Afterwards, Feng Bao disappeared in the aftermath.

But Zhu Zaigui had a smile on his face.

Stopping the construction of the inner palace should make the ministers of the previous dynasty praise him for his diligence and thrift.

I don’t know what reign title the Ministry of Rites will choose for the new dynasty, but in any case, the new reign title must be one that makes the ministers bow down to it more than the one of the Jiajing dynasty.

……

"kneel!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The next morning, a shout was heard from the imperial city.

The princes, nobles, civil and military officials who had gathered in front of Sishan Gate all knelt on the ground.

"bye."

Another sound.

Everyone bowed to the ground.

"cry."

then.

Cries arose.

Amid the cries of the people, mournful music was heard everywhere.

The coffin of the late emperor was officially moved from the Qianqing Palace into the Fengxian Hall.

From then on, officials in the court would cry in front of the Sishan Gate every day and then return to their duties until the coffin was led into the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum.

Wait until everyone has cried enough.

Led by Crown Prince Zhu Zaigui, the royal family members also walked to the Sishan Gate.

It stands to reason.

at this time.

The prince was to say something, and then the ministers could go back to their respective places.

But it was at this time.

Among the crowd kneeling on the ground according to their rank, Li Chunfang moved in the front row.

Just when he was about to stand up, someone was faster than him!
Hai Rui, who was wearing plain clothes, stood up suddenly.

"Your Highness, I, Hai Rui, have something to report!"

Li Chunfang, who was already half-standing up with her butt sticking out, immediately turned around to look at Hai Rui, who was standing up completely with a memorial in his hand.

An ominous expression immediately flashed across Lord Li's face.

These days, even when submitting reports to the emperor, some people have started to compete for first place.

What a world!
Li Chunfang hid his hands in his sleeves, holding a memorial, and could only wait for Hai Rui to finish his report.

However, everyone present seemed to have come to their senses.

What happened in Yanfu Lane last night had already reached their ears.

If we look at what Hai Rui did when he returned to Beijing before.

Blocking the door on the first day.

The next day, he would definitely submit an impeachment petition.

It's another day to watch a good show!

Zhu Zaigui frowned and looked at Hai Rui with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

He knew Hai Rui's abilities, his integrity, and that he was a true loyal minister.

But it is also his problem that he does not care about the occasion.

Zhu Zaigui spoke slowly, "Now that the late emperor's coffin is resting in the Fengxian Hall, all matters in the court are temporarily suspended. Logically, I am only the crown prince, so I can just speak to the Chief Censor, and I should not use the words of the memorial."

Hai Rui was also well-behaved. He nodded and began to speak: "I want to talk about Grand Tutor Yan Song, Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice Yan Shifan, Left Vice Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate Yan Shaoting, Dragon and Tiger General Yan Hu, and Junior Magistrate Yan Wuyou. These five people are from the same family. For four generations, they have all held official positions in the court. They have been awarded civil and military titles, and have received salaries from young people. Their power is unmatched. In the past two hundred years of our dynasty, no other family has ever done this. The Yan family, for four generations, has held high positions and great power. When power reaches its peak, it becomes powerful. When power reaches its peak, it overthrows the government. How can the country be ruled?"

In front of Sishan Gate.

Hai Rui silenced everyone with just one word.

Yan Shaoting, who was still kneeling on the ground crying to the old Taoist priest and had not yet stood up, scratched his ear.

This Hai Rui.

Being lazy!

He didn't even report all the information when applying for an official position.

Is it because this palace is too small and there is not enough room for standing?

Li Chunfang widened his eyes. Although he had expected this, he was dumbfounded when Hai Rui finished speaking.

What Hai Rui said now were all the words he had prepared to say!

Li Chunfang quickly turned his head and looked at Gao Gong beside him.

Hai Rui stole my lines!

Hai Rui continued, "This is unprecedented. I suggest that the Yan family, with four generations and five people, all serve in the court. This is unacceptable. Yan Shaoting is a minister, but yesterday he violated the etiquette and escorted the late emperor back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He should be reprimanded and punished. Yan Wuyou is just a child, still babbling, so he should be stripped of his position. Yan Hu's sudden promotion to command the army and guard the imperial city is also inappropriate. He should be dismissed or transferred."

Li Chunfang was completely numb.

The hand holding the memorial hidden under his sleeve had also loosened.

Hai Rui had already said everything he wanted to say.

If I continue to make suggestions at this time, I would just be repeating what others have said.

It's just that he didn't quite understand.

Hai Rui seemed to be on good terms with the Yan family, so why did he suddenly want to impeach the Yan family at this time?

It can't be for acting, right?
No one would use their official position and power to act like this!
Zhu Zaigui was also full of doubts and even a little dissatisfied.

This Hai Rui has always liked to make trouble in the past, and he is doing the same now.

He glanced at the ministers present.

"Book……"

Zhu Zaigui had just opened his mouth when he planned to suppress the matter on the grounds that he was only the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and could not presume to deal with the memorials of court officials.

but.

Just as Zhu Zaigui opened his mouth.

Yan Song had already taken out a memorial from his sleeve.

"Your Highness, I, Yan Song, am petitioning the Crown Prince to allow me to resign from the position of Grand Tutor."

Zhu Zaigui raised his eyebrows, and Gao Gong and others also frowned.

As soon as Hai Rui finished his impeachment, Yan Song immediately took out a memorial to resign from the position of Grand Tutor.

This was clearly prepared long ago.

Just don't wait for them to react.

Yan Shifan had also walked to the front of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and took out a memorial from his sleeve.

"Your Highness, I, Yan Shifan, am petitioning the Crown Prince to allow me to resign from my position as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

When Yan Shifan finished speaking.

Everyone in front of Sishan’s door looked surprised.

Even though Yan Song's resignation was well prepared, it was also understandable.

But it was not normal for Yan Shifan to come out and request to resign.

However, the fact that the father and son of the Yan family came out to resign had surprised and puzzled everyone, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Yan Shaoting had also stood up and walked in front of Zhu Zaigui.

Just like Old Yantou and Little Cabinet Elder, he took out from his sleeve...

Three full memorials!

"Your servant Yan Shaoting, on behalf of your brother Yan Hu and your subject Yan Wuyou, presents this report."

"Please allow me to resign from my posts as the Crown Prince's Guest, the Left Vice-Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department, and the Imperial Academy Scholar. My brother Yan Hu resigns from his post as the Dragon and Tiger General, and my subject Yan Wuyou resigns from his posts as the Junior Minister of Administration and the Second Senior Official."

"We, the ministers, are following the laws of our ancestors and the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The late emperor has passed away, and all officials have come to resign and submit their opinions. Please grant your approval!"

Yan Shaoting held up the three memorials high.

The entire Sishan Sect was in an uproar.

Just like yesterday when Yan Shaoting suddenly appeared in front of people with his troops, everyone was shocked.

Who would have thought.

Hai Rui's impeachment memorial forced all the Yan family members, young and old, to resign from their posts.

But soon everyone reacted and their faces were filled with horror.

Finished!

It's over!

The Yan family has kidnapped everyone!

I'm going to drag everyone down with me!
