The development of the matter did not exceed Yan Song's expectation. In the next few days, the entire court seemed extremely calm.
It's so peaceful that it's unnerving!
As the Supervisory Censor and also in charge of the Supervisory Office, Zhao Zhenji was naturally highly sensitive to the disturbances in the capital.
Especially after receiving the news that King Jing was about to go to the fiefdom to join the vassal, Zhao Zhenji knew very well that Qingliu would never let go of this golden opportunity and would definitely take the initiative.
In his opinion, the previous calm was just an appearance. Soon, the two sides will officially start a war!
Sure enough, when Zhao Zhenji came to the Inspectorate, he found several impeachment memorials.
These impeachment memorials did not target the key members of the Yan Party, but only impeached some small shrimps.
Usually, memorials like this often appear in the Inspectorate.
However, based on the current situation, it is not difficult for Zhao Zhenji to speculate that this is a test from Qingliu. If the Yan Party does not respond to this, a violent attack will follow!
Obviously, Zhao Zhenji does not want to wade into this muddy water. When two giants are fighting, will they care about the ants around them?
Subsequently, Zhao Zhenji ordered his subordinates to follow the established procedures and send these impeachment memorials to the cabinet on the grounds that the Supervisory Council was unable to make a ruling.
After his subordinates left, Zhao Zhenji leaned on his seat leisurely and muttered to himself silently.
"Let's fight. Just fight well. It's best if you both lose and get hurt!"
"When the time comes, it will be up to me, the Inspectorate, to take advantage. I'm afraid this year's tasks will be completed ahead of schedule."
As he was talking, Zhao Zhenji suddenly thought of Hai Rui, and immediately slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"Yeah, why don't I take this opportunity to let Hai Rui gain more reputation and get some credit from it."
"In this way, not only will we be able to achieve His Majesty's stated goal of reorganizing the government, but we will also be able to legitimately promote Hai Rui, who is highly valued by His Majesty!"
“It’s really like killing two birds with one stone!”
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji immediately called his subordinates and gave these instructions.
"Go and ask Hai Rui to come over. I have something to tell him, so go quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, the subordinate quickly left.
At this moment, in the Experience Department, Hai Rui and his boss Wang Jing fell into a state of doing nothing after finishing all the paperwork.
Seeing that he had finished what he was doing, Hai Rui immediately picked up a thick book and started reading. Wang Jing narrowed his eyes, leaned back on his chair, and took a nap. After a while, he started snoring like thunder. .
After a while, the subordinate who was previously sent by Zhao Zhenji came to the Experience Department. When he saw the situation inside, he couldn't help but be envious.
"It's so easy. When will I be assigned to a position like this!"
Then, he coughed twice, trying to attract the two people's attention.
Soon, Wang Jing noticed the movement, immediately opened his sleepy eyes and asked.
"Who?"
"Master Wang, Master Censor asked Hai Rui to come over. He said he had something to explain!"
After the subordinate finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Hai Rui and said slowly.
"Oh, go ahead and don't ask my opinion."
Wang Jing nodded after hearing this and said casually.
At the same time, he was even more afraid of Hai Rui, his subordinate!
"This Hai Rui really has a lot of background!"
"Just for a moment, the Royal Censor summoned him to talk to him again. I have been in the Inspectorate for so many years, and I have never seen the Royal Censor more than once!"
"It seems that what he said before was just to avoid attracting attention. I have to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with him."
Soon, Wang Jing made up his mind and planned to treat Hai Rui to dinner after his shift was over today.
Hai Rui saw the expression on Wang Jing's face and knew that his boss was wrong again.
Hai Rui sighed helplessly and immediately followed the visitor's footsteps and left the Experience Department.
…
"Sir, Hai Rui is here."
"Well, I know, please go down!"
"Yes, sir!"
The previous subordinate left the room after reporting to Zhao Zhenji. When leaving, he closed the door as usual.
"Hai Rui is here, sit down!"
A warm smile appeared on Zhao Zhenji's face, he pointed to the empty seat beside him and gave the order.
"Yes, sir!"
Hai Rui didn't refuse and sat down on his seat.
"How do you feel about your time in the Inspectorate?"
Zhao Zhenji was the first to speak and asked Hai Rui.
"Well, I feel good, but it's just too boring!"
After thinking for a moment, Hai Rui gave his answer.
After Zhao Zhenji heard this, he immediately looked away from Hai Rui and said slowly.
"It just so happens that I have an errand for you. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
After hearing what Zhao Zhenji said, Hai Rui immediately looked stern and responded in a deep voice.
"My lord, just give me your orders. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Seeing that Hai Rui agreed to his request so easily, Zhao Zhenji looked overjoyed and gave the order.
"Okay, I appreciate your enthusiasm."
"Next, you will be temporarily responsible for handling the impeachment memorials submitted by those officials!"
"If the actual situation is almost the same as what was described in the impeachment memorial, you can also go directly to the impeachment memorial!"
After hearing Zhao Zhenji's instructions, Hai Rui immediately responded.
"Yes, sir, I will definitely handle this matter well!"
"Well, I will be waiting for your good news when the time comes."
After Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
…
In the cabinet, several people are processing the memorials submitted by officials from various ministries below.
Ever since the news spread in the capital that King Jing was about to leave for the fiefdom to become a vassal, the relationship within the cabinet had also undergone some subtle changes.
Prior to this, Yan Song was the chief minister of the cabinet, and with the support of King Jing behind him, his voice in the cabinet could be said to be the largest, even reaching the point of being able to speak in one voice!
And now, due to the fall of King Jing, Xu Jie's voice in the cabinet is also increasing day by day.
Yan Song seemed unaware of all this and did not make any countermeasures.
In Xu Jie's view, Yan Song realized the gap in strength between the two sides and chose to give in.
"Yan Song, no matter how weak you are, I won't let you go so easily!"
"Just wait, there will be a good show soon."
Xu Jie put aside the corrected memorials in his hand, and then glanced over Yan Song's body with a rather obscure gaze.
At this moment, Yan Shifan stopped reviewing the memorial and said doubtfully.
"Hey, isn't this a memorial from the Inspectorate? How come it was sent to the cabinet? Could it be that it was sent to the wrong place?"
After Yan Shifan read the annotations on the memorial, he couldn't help but become furious.
"What does Zhao Zhenji mean? This is obviously a memorial from the Inspectorate, so why did he push it to the cabinet again!"
"And the reason is exactly the same as last time. The matter is so serious that the Inspectorate has no way to rule on it!"
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he opened the memorial and began to read the contents carefully.
But soon, Yan Shifan was shocked by the content above.
There is no other reason. This is an impeachment memorial, and the people being impeached are members of the Yan Party.
