Chapter 330 Be Careful
Yan Song quickly drank the decoction in the bowl, and immediately put the bowl aside and warned Yan Shifan.

"During the time I'm recuperating, you must be more careful, understand?"

"Father, what do you mean that Xu Jie's group might take this opportunity to secretly write something behind the scenes?"

After listening to Yan Song's instructions, Yan Shifan frowned and confirmed to him.

"Well, yes, such a good opportunity, with the nature of Xu Jie, will never let it go easily."

"Therefore, I guess, he will definitely investigate the affairs I am in charge of personally to see if there is any mistake in it."

When Yan Song said this, he paused, and his tone suddenly increased.

"In other words, the transformation of the treasure ship!"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan panicked immediately, and then asked Yan Song.

"Then...Father, are you behind this..."

And Yan Song just glanced at Yan Shifan, reprimanded with a look of hating iron but not steel.

"You idiot, this is a matter ordered by His Majesty himself, if you dare to tamper with it, you will die!"

Hearing this, Yan Shifan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, with a look of joy on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay, father, you didn't tamper with this, otherwise, things will be troublesome!"

"This rebellious son, what does he usually think of his father?"

Thinking of this, Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan with an even more strange expression.

And Yan Shifan was also very uncomfortable with Yan Song's looking up and down, and immediately, he made an excuse and left Yan Song's room.

"By the way, if those guys ask about my physical condition, just tell them the truth and let them rest assured."

Yan Song's exhortation came from behind Yan Shifan, but Yan Shifan just nodded subconsciously and did not stop.

When Yan Shifan returned to his room, he rested his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.

"Father just looked at me, what does it mean?"

……

Capital City, Prince Yu's Mansion.

After Xu Jie came back from the cabinet, he summoned everyone to the study of King Yu's Mansion to discuss matters without stopping.

In the study, Zhu Zaiku couldn't help laughing loudly after learning the specific situation behind this.

"Haha, what a joy, this Yan Song also has today!"

Seeing King Yu's speech, Gao Gong at the side followed closely.

"Yes, Yan Song is seriously ill right now, unable to handle many affairs at hand, this is a great opportunity for us to show His Majesty our ability!"

"Presumably His Majesty also planned this way, otherwise, how could Xu Ge be allowed to replace Yan Song to handle those affairs that he has not completed?"

Xu Jie was in a good mood, so he picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip, and said unhurriedly.

"Yeah, right now we should seize this opportunity, check this Yan Song carefully, and see if he has made any mistakes!"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he immediately added.

"When I was in the Weapons Department last time, His Majesty asked Yan Song to be responsible for the renovation of the treasure ship, and the Ministry of Finance has allocated 340 million taels of silver for the renovation of the treasure ship!"

When Xu Jie said this, Zhang Juzheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also reacted and said hesitantly.

"Mr. Xu Ge, what do you mean, Yan Song is likely to use the banner of renovating the treasure ship to wantonly covet the silver taels in it?"

"But this is something His Majesty personally ordered. Does Yan Song have the guts?"

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's analysis, Xu Jie shook his head and said so.

"Regardless of whether he, Yan Song, has played tricks behind this, I must go and investigate."

"After all, this is to show my Xu Jie's attitude to many ministers in the court, and let them think about who they should stand on!"

After Zhang Juzheng listened to Xu Jie's words, his expression froze, as if he had learned something from it, and he stopped talking.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie shifted the topic to Zhang Juzheng and asked him.

"By the way, how are you doing with the things His Majesty ordered you last time?"

Zhang Juzheng looked away from Xu Jie's body and said slowly.

"Everything is going well so far. The Ministry of War has issued a corresponding notice, and we are selecting brave men from various guards!"

"It only takes two months at most, and the Divine Machine Camp that His Majesty has been thinking of can be completely rebuilt."

After learning about the specific process from Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie nodded, then turned his gaze to Gao Gong aside, and asked.

"Where is the Department of Maritime Trade, how is the situation?"

Seeing Xu Jie asking himself about this matter, Gao Gong chose to inform him of the current progress after hesitating for a moment.

"Those businessmen who have certificates to go to sea may have forgotten that their birthplaces, rosters, etc. are still kept by the Maritime Trade Department!"

When Gao Gong said this, he sneered and continued to add.

"Prior to this, in the name of the Maritime Trade Department, I have notified the local government and sent people to persuade them to go to sea as soon as possible!"

"If you are still unwilling to go to sea after being advised by the government, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After Xu Jie learned of the current progress of the two, he also felt relieved, and immediately spoke.

"Well, His Majesty has asked me to take charge of Yan Song's affairs temporarily. We must firmly seize this opportunity so that His Majesty can see our capabilities!"

When Xu Jie said this, he suddenly changed the topic, and then spoke.

"Next, I have to find some time to go and see Yan Song's situation."

Seeing this, Zhu Zaixi on the side couldn't help but frowned, and said.

"Old Xu Ge, you are..."

Xu Jie seemed to see Zhu Zaiyi's doubts, shook his head, and explained to him.

"As the second assistant of the cabinet, I have to go to visit Yan Song in person because of emotion and reason."

"Forget it, it's time to ask Yan Song about specific matters!"

Seeing this, Gao Gong couldn't help admonishing him.

"Old Xu Ge, if you act like this, your Majesty may..."

Gao Gong didn't finish the rest of the sentence, he believed that Xu Jie understood what he meant.

After listening to Gao Gong's exhortation, Xu Jie shook his head, said with a relaxed expression.

"Don't worry, His Majesty won't say anything about it!"

"In addition, this is also a situation that His Majesty is very happy to see."

Seeing Xu Jie's stern look, Gao Gong stopped admonishing him.

……

It was late at night, and the home of Zhang Runde, the Minister of Criminal Justice, was still brightly lit.

In the study, Zhang Runde looked anxious, and was pacing the room with his hands behind his back.

When he heard the news that Yan Song was seriously ill, his heart was in his throat.

He couldn't imagine that if Yan Song's physical condition continued to deteriorate, the position of chief assistant of the cabinet would fall on Xu Jie's head without any suspense, and once Xu Jie took the stage, what awaited them would be a ruthless battle. Great reckoning.

Therefore, after being on duty, Zhang Runde sent his cronies to the Yan Mansion to inquire about specific news.

"Why haven't you come back yet, can something happen?"

"Or……"

Zhang Runde stopped, sat down on the seat beside him, and began to think wildly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Seeing this, Zhang Runde became angry. He quickly got up from his seat and ordered in a deep voice.

"Come in!"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure entered the room, it was the confidant Zhang Runde had sent out earlier, the moment he entered the room, he knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' and reported to him.

"My lord, according to the news from Mr. Xiaoge, there is nothing serious about Mr. Yange. He just needs to rest for a while."

"In addition, Mr. Xiaoge also reminded you that you must be more careful in your actions during the recent period, and you can't let Qingliu get hold of it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Runde immediately felt relieved, waved his hands quite casually, and said so.

"Well, the officer knows, you go down!"

"Yes!"
