The capital city ushered in a brand new month.

The dark waves in the court kept surging. Although Xu Jie always wanted to use the word "drag" to downplay the reform, the reformists led by Wu Shan and Lin Qingran were constantly shaking the flag.

But God seemed to be more kind to Xu Jie. Jiajing was already an elderly man, but he had been tortured by his illness for more than a year. He rarely asked about political affairs and seemed to have forgotten all the ideas of innovation.

As the leader of the reformist faction and think tank, Lin Weiran, the Minister of Revenue, has never taken any major measures against Xu Jie, but has been in a passive situation of being beaten.

Especially on the territory of the Ministry of Revenue, Xu Jie arranged for Chen Qixue to take over as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Ouyang Yijing, a censor of the Ministry of Revenue, was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was already a member of Lin Weiran.

The Minister of Revenue is eyeing him.

Lin Weiran was indifferent to Xu Party's actions, or did not care at all, and seemed to be conscientiously leading the Thirteenth Division to manage the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Xu Jie was bound by Lin Shiran, and as the biggest killer weapon, the "Trouble Book", could not be implemented, it could not stop Lin Shiran from generating income for the Ming Dynasty's finances.

Under his dispatch, the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau were operating smoothly. As batches of silk were delivered to the Portuguese, a large amount of real money and silver also flowed to the Ministry of Revenue Taicang.

Although this income cannot make the Ming Dynasty's finance healthy, it also improves the Ming Dynasty's finances. At least there is no need to impose taxes on the people indefinitely under various names.

Facing Lin Weiran's magical ways of making money, even Ouyang Yijing, who is known for his proficiency, even though he is carrying the glorious mission of Xu Party, he has to shut his mouth obediently.

If Lin Qingran fails to serve as Minister of Revenue, then the previous series of Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue can only wait for zero points, and it is even more impossible for this court to find a better Minister of Revenue.

However, Chen Qixue, the new right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was diligent in finances and lacked talent. He couldn't even understand the account book of Tongzhou Granary, which almost couldn't help but impeach him.

The capital city in May is as enthusiastic as it is, and there is never a shortage of topics here. The former chief minister Yan Song recently occupied the topic list of the capital.

"Haha... This old immortal is really troublesome!"

"He may have become a cross-border rat in Yuanzhou, so he would not hesitate to run too far to Henan!"

"Where is the Tianguan Wang who Yan Song surrendered to? The former Wang Daguan was just the Minister of Works."

...

A wave of discussion suddenly broke out in the capital. It was rumored that someone met Yan Song, who was deposed as a citizen in Henan, and saw him traveling thousands of miles to seek refuge with his former disciple Wang Tianguan.

Thanks to Yan Song's "celebrity effect", and this incident was obviously fueled by someone, which made Yan Song's disappearance of his disciples become a hot topic in the capital.

"Yan Song is greedy for these gluttons and is safe and sound. It's really unreasonable!"

"There are a few people in this court who are not greedy. The main reason is that he instigated the emperor to build projects, and he eventually raised miscellaneous taxes such as essays to the people!"

"Be careful about this? Isn't that person right now? He thinks Yan Song is guilty of letting Yan Shifan participate in government affairs? He also said that he really ignored the rules of the Ming Dynasty."

...

As Yan Song was revealed, the accusations against Yan's father and son were also rampant. The past was revealed, and the fingers were pointed at Yan Shifan.

Isn't it a problem for Yan Shifan to be called a little cabinet master? The problem is that Yan Song actually obeys Yan Shifan's decisions. Is this already crossing the line in the officialdom? It is even more like handing over the title of the vote to a person who is not worthy of his name.

These voices also reached Lin Qinran's ears? Lin Qinran frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that this matter was strange.

The Wanshou Palace seems very quiet.

Some eunuchs and palace maids were not afraid to make any noise when they were walking around? Their mouths were tightly closed, as if they had arrived at a palace of the King of Hell.

"Weizhong! Let Weizhong come over to see me!"

Jiajing's recent condition has not only not improved, but has tended to deteriorate. He was originally lying quietly on the bed, but suddenly woke up from his sleep.

Huang Jin, who was standing at the door, was slightly stunned at first, and then looked at Jiajing in the bed with confusion through the mosquito net. I wonder if this was just a dream talk, or if Jiajing had suddenly become confused.

Jiajing had already sat up from the bed? Seeing Huang Jin still standing in front of the door, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I asked you to call Weizhong over? Call Weizhong over!"

"Master, Ge Yan retired a few years ago!" Huang Jin hesitated for a moment, but he reminded carefully.

When Jiajing heard this answer, he remembered that Yan Song was indeed sent back to his hometown by him. When Yan Shifan's head was cut off last year, he directly cut Yan Song off for the people.

Just thinking about the little things about Yan Song and him in the dream, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Master, are you going to wait for you to get up?" Huang Jin knew Jiajing's affection for Yan Song, but he deliberately changed the subject and asked.

After more than 20 years of companionship, especially for a considerable period of time, Yan Song was ate and lived in Xiyuan, and accompanied Jiajing every day, which made Jiajing dream that Yan Song was not the first time, and he always mistakenly thought that the current time node was still at Several years ago.

Jiajing sighed, but said lightly: "I don't know that Weizhong is doing well now, call Xu Jie here!"

Huang Jin immediately responded and ordered a young eunuch below to summon Xu Jie, and at the same time asked the palace maids outside to come in to serve Jiajing's daily life and wash.

As Jiajing's condition worsened, even Wushan, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang rarely saw Jiajing, let alone the ministers outside, while Xu Jie became a minister who had often seen Jiajing.

Xu Jie came to the dormitory and saluted respectfully.

When Jiajing asked about Yan Song's recent situation, Xu Jie responded: "I have not known Master Yan's physical condition recently. It's just that Master Yan and the emperor were taking the spiritual pill together, so he must have lived a long life every year! ”

"I... copied his home and his residence!" Jiajing sighed and said authentically.

Xu Jie swallowed secretly and replied: "The emperor specially ordered the imperial envoy Cheng Shoujie to leave him a golden bowl, which must be free of food and clothing. Moreover, there is a recent rumor in the capital that Ge Lao Yan has defected to the past. Student, I believe your life is good! Your Majesty, you are now ill, so it’s better to take care of your illness first!”

"I'm too worried, please step back first!" Jiajing sighed softly, then raised his hand slightly and said.

"Yes! I'm Xu Jie's retreat, long live my emperor!" A hint of joy flashed across Xu Jie's eyes, and he looked respectfully bowed, and then he retreated.

He had just wanted to tell Jiajing the truth, but because of Jiajing's deep feelings for Yan Song, he would definitely "rekind" Yan Song after learning about Yan Song's death.

The emperor not only chose to hold a grand funeral for Yan Song, but also pardoned the descendants of the Yan family who were exiled, which was a result he did not want to see.

However, things did not exceed his control in the end, and none of these things happened. In the emperor's heart, he would definitely think that Yan Song is living a good life now.

The summer wind blows towards you, but Xu Jie walked out of Wanshou Palace but stood on the steps, squinted his eyes and looked at the palace and buildings in front of him, and his gray beard was blown up by the wind.
