I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 573: There is a bit of his father in him

On the other side, just as Yan Song said to Xu Jie before, Yan Shifan came to wait outside Qianqing Palace early in the morning.

At this moment, looking at the Qianqing Palace so close in front of him, Yan Shifan felt increasingly uneasy.

Although Yan Song had already stated the stakes to Yan Shifan before coming, Yan Shifan was still a little uneasy about it.

"What if His Majesty's side will follow suit later..."

At this moment, only a thin voice sounded, interrupting Yan Shifan's thoughts.

"Xuan, Yan Shifan comes to see you!"

After Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind and stepped onto the stairs of Qianqing Palace.

……

At this moment, inside Qianqing Palace.

Jiajing was sitting on the dragon chair as usual, and in his hand was a memorial sent by the Superintendent of Ceremonies.

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting events. Yan Shifan came to meet Your Majesty early this morning!"

When the high-pitched voice outside Qianqing Palace fell, Lu Fang, who had been waiting beside Jiajing from the beginning, couldn't help but flatter Jiajing.

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately put aside the memorial in his hand that he had read, and then responded.

"Hmph, this Yan Song is really an old fox. Yan Shifan came to see me early in the morning today, probably because of his instructions!"

Lu Fang, who was on the side, heard Jiajing's words. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke carefully.

"Your Majesty, you mean that Mr. Yan Ge has already guessed..."

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately turned around, glanced at Lu Fang calmly, and spoke unhurriedly.

"This is natural. If Yan Song can't even guess this, then he, as the chief minister of the cabinet, will be done!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside Qianqing Palace, and not long after, Yan Shifan was seen walking in.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

After Yan Shifan entered the Qianqing Palace, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and bowed respectfully to Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Seeing this, Jiajing looked Yan Shifan up and down, then raised his eyebrows and gave instructions casually.

"Well, Yan Shifan, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's permission, Yan Shifan slowly stood up from the ground. At this moment, Yan Shifan was extremely respectful. He was like a puppet and did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.

Seeing this, Jiajing looked away from Yan Shifan and joked with a smile.

"Yan Shifan, this is not your first time meeting me, why are you still so nervous?"

When Yan Shifan heard Jiajing's words, a look of panic flashed across his face, and he hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's true... I'll tell you the truth. The reason why I came here to meet Your Majesty is because of the recent visit to the Inspectorate..."

When Jiajing heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. After slightly nodding, he said slowly.

"Yan Shifan, the reason why you came to see me today is because of the impeachment memorial issued by the Supervisory Council regarding you in recent days, right?"

When Jiajing said this, he continued immediately without waiting for Yan Shifan's response.

"Actually, I have read the impeachment memorial against you, but I feel that some of the contents in it are biased and not very realistic!"

"Especially the part about Song Yiwang, I think it is quite untrue!"

After that, Jiajing turned his eyes to Yan Shifan and then comforted him.

"Yan Shifan, don't worry, I will give you justice!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and the expression on his face became visibly serious.

In Yan Shifan's view, this was clearly His Majesty's hint to him: "Stop being so nagging, admit it quickly, so that I can remove you from your post openly!"

Because of this, shortly after Jiajing's words fell, Yan Shifan looked ashamed, fell to his knees on the ground with a 'plopping', and cried. "Your Majesty, the humble minister is guilty!"

When Jiajing heard this, his face showed doubts, and he immediately spoke and asked Yan Shifan.

"Oh, what's your crime, my dear?"

After that, Yan Shifan continued to explain in the face of Jiajing's extremely puzzled eyes.

"Your Majesty, I can tell you the truth. When I was serving as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I used my power to suppress and demote Song Yiwang arbitrarily!"

"This Song Yiwang, while serving as the censor, made rude remarks to Wei Chen's father many times. After Wei Chen learned the news, he held a grudge!"

"Later, after Wei Chen became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he took this opportunity to use his power to avenge his private revenge and relegated Song Yiwang to become the judge of Yiling Prefecture!"

After listening to Yan Shifan's self-report, Jiajing's expression suddenly darkened, while Lu Fang, who was standing aside, looked at Yan Shifan with eyes full of approval.

"Old Xiaoge avoids the serious and takes the easy, and with just a few words, he portrays himself as a filial son who takes care of his father. In this way, even if the method is not glorious, at least on the surface, it is understandable! "

At this moment, Jiajing slammed the table, looked at Yan Shifan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"Yan Shifan, can you take responsibility for what you just said?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said just now is all true. There is not a single lie. Wei Chen is unworthy of your trust in Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please punish Wei Chen!"

Yan Shifan suddenly panicked when he saw the breathtaking aura emanating from Jiajing, but soon, Yan Shifan recalled Yan Song's earlier instructions and said bravely.

After that, Yan Shifan kowtowed three times on the ground solemnly and waited anxiously for Jiajing's response.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace became visibly depressed. The only sound was the "click-click" sound made by Jiajing's fingers tapping on the desk.

After a long time, Jiajing came back to his senses, pointed at Yan Shifan, who was trembling at the moment, and reprimanded him.

"Yan Shifan, you bastard, I asked you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and this is how you repay me?"

"Abusing the power in your hands and avenging private revenge, if this matter spreads out, how can you, the official minister, convince the public?"

At this moment, Yan Shifan, who was kneeling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiajing's words, but on the outside, he still looked frightened and begged Jiajing.

"Wei Chen knows that he is ashamed of Your Majesty's trust. Therefore, Wei Chen has no shame in holding such an important position as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

"In order not to delay the important affairs of the court, I sincerely ask Your Majesty to remove Wei Chen from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and let someone with more ability and virtue take this official position!"

At this moment, Yan Shifan's face was full of sincerity. After he finished speaking, he bowed heavily to the ground, waiting for Jiajing's response.

Jiajing did not respond immediately, but supported his chin with one hand as if thinking.

After a long time, Jiajing came back to his senses and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Forget it, since you have realized your mistake, then I will follow what you said and officially remove you from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly thanked Jiajing.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing took in the expression on Yan Shifan's face, changed the subject, and then gave instructions.

"But, the position of the Minister of Personnel is very important. Until the court finds a candidate to replace you, you should temporarily hold the position of Minister of Personnel!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Yan Shifan heard Jiajing's words, he immediately raised his head and responded without thinking.

After that, Jiajing waved his hand impatiently and issued an order to expel guests.

"Okay, if nothing happens next, you can leave!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will retire now!"

After receiving Jiajing's instructions, Yan Shifan slowly stood up from the ground, bowed respectfully to Jiajing, and then turned around and left Qianqing Palace.

Jiajing looked at Yan Shifan's leaving figure, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and commented like this.

"Oh, this Yan Shifan has a bit of his father Yan Song in him!"
