I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 496
In the cabinet, Yan Song looked at the list in front of him, which was just sent by Zhao Zhenji, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Hmph, you dare to use the solar eclipse as an excuse, let's see how I deal with you next!"

Immediately, Yan Song turned his gaze to Xu Jie who was aside, and said slowly.

"Here, Mr. Xu Ge, this is the list that Zhao Zhenji sent over, take a look!"

"Ah."

When Xu Jie heard the words, he responded in a subtle way, and immediately took the list from Yan Song.

Soon, Xu Jie browsed through all the names on the list, and his expression became very gloomy.

Because on the list, not only the officials, but also those who respected him so much and wished to confess him were also involved, and this made Xu Jie feel betrayed.

Immediately, Xu Jie slammed the table and said in a deep voice.

"This group of insects, what are they trying to do? I see, there must be someone instigated behind this, with the intention of destroying the stability of our Ming Dynasty. They must have taken money from the Wo... Tatar side!"

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside the cabinet, and a subordinate was seen hurriedly stepping into the cabinet.

The moment he entered the cabinet, he looked in the direction of Yan Song and Xu Jie, and respectfully reported.

"Old man, Mr. Lu is out to see you!"

Hearing this, several people in the cabinet couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on their faces, because it must be the emperor's order for Lu Fang to come to the cabinet at this time.

Because of this, after a few people exchanged glances with each other, Yan Song cleared his throat and ordered.

"In that case, please invite Eunuch Lu in!"

"Yes, Mr. Yan Ge!"

After the subordinate staff responded, they did not stay in the room for a moment, but left the cabinet quickly.

Not long after, Lu Fang entered the cabinet under the leadership of the previous subordinate.

Seeing Lu Fang's arrival, under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the remaining people got up from their seats one after another and said in unison.

"Meet Eunuch Lu!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang nodded slightly, looked around, and immediately spoke.

"You don't need to be so polite, our family came here this time, following His Majesty's will, to bring you a word!"

After Lu Fang's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but tense their nerves. They didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of missing something.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Lu Fang looked away and said slowly.

"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that you don't have to look forward and backward when you act, he is your most solid backing!"

After listening to Lu Fang's words, everyone's faces were full of shock that could not be concealed, because the emperor's words were tantamount to assuring everyone that you don't have any worries, just need Just fight to the end with that group of officials and the group of people behind them!
In other words, no matter what happens next, the cabinet will have the emperor's endorsement!
Before that, the cabinet had a certain degree of fear towards the menacing speech officials, because those speech officials were indeed very powerful, and the public opinion in the court was firmly in their hands.

As far as the duty of officials is concerned, they will not be punished too severely even if they wrong someone.

Anyone who is attacked by a public opinion official will fall into a complete passivity in public opinion first, not to mention looking for evidence everywhere to prove his innocence.

But it is impossible to prove your innocence, because the person who wronged you sometimes knows better than you that you are innocent!
Now, with Jiajing, the powerful emperor, endorsing the cabinet, all their actions will be greatly rationalized.

Because in Daming, the emperor is the sky, and any behavior that disobeys the emperor can be called treason!
After that, Xu Jie was the first to come back to his senses, looking at Lu Fang with gratitude in his eyes, he bowed his hands to Lu Fang and said respectfully.

"Eunuch Lau Lu is here!"

Lu Fang didn't care about it, she just waved her hand quite casually and said.

"Where, our family just came here to bring a word according to His Majesty's order. Since the words have been brought, then our family will not stay here any longer!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she immediately walked away. Seeing this situation, everyone immediately said in unison.

"Eunuch Lu, go slowly!"

……

After Lu Fang left, Xu Jie's face was filled with unconcealable excitement. He had already thought of what method he should take to deal with these officials, and he coughed twice and proposed to Yan Song.

"Ahem, Mr. Yan Ge, since Eunuch Lu has brought His Majesty's intentions, shouldn't we also be prepared?"

"It's impossible for us to come forward in person like last time, right?"

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song also instantly understood Xu Jie's meaning, and summed it up in two words - shaking people!
The reason why Xu Jie made such a proposal is because among those officials, there are many people who are hot-tempered and do not care.

On the other hand, in order to reasonably avoid risks, if something unexpected happens at that time, the cabinet can also withdraw in time without taking any responsibility.

In short, they just outsource the tasks they received from Jiajing to their subordinates. If they have credit at that time, the cabinet will know how to use them well. If something happens, they don't have to bear the harshness !

In Xu Jie's view, this is a win-win strategy, where both advances and retreats win.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie glanced at Yan Song unobtrusively, and suddenly, in his mind, such an absurd idea suddenly appeared: "In case the Yanguan doesn't talk about Wude at that time, just rely on I don't know if this old bone of Yan Song can hold it?"

In case of any accident to Yan Song, wouldn't he be able to take over the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet logically?
But soon, Xu Jie suppressed this absurd idea: "No, now is not the time to think about these things, the most urgent thing is to deal with those officials, let's talk about it after this matter is over!"

While Xu Jie was still thinking about it in his mind, Yan Song had already made a decision after a short thought, and he planned to follow Xu Jie's suggestion.

After making up his mind, Yan Song looked around and suggested to everyone.

"I think what Xu Ge said makes sense. It's impossible for us to fight in person like last time. What do you think?"

As soon as Yan Song said this, everyone understood the meaning contained in it, and agreed to the suggestion without too much hesitation.

Seeing that no one raised any objections to this, Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other and officially started to act.

……

On the side of the criminal department, when Zhang Runde, the servant of the criminal department, was still dealing with the complicated affairs at hand, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Runde suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, put down the brush in his hand, and immediately gave instructions.

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, a subordinate official entered the room in a hurry, and after bowing to Zhang Runde, he immediately spoke.

"Master Zhang, the old commissioner of Xiaoge is here to tell you..."
