Yan Shifan's pupils suddenly shrank, and soon he figured out everything behind it.
"It must be Xu Jie's group who was behind it, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"This should be a temptation from Qingliu. If we don't respond to this, they will only become more unscrupulous!"
Yan Shifan coughed twice, and when he was about to respond, Yan Song on the side spoke.
"Show it to me."
"Yes, father!"
Yan Shifan did not dare to disobey Yan Song at all, and immediately handed all the impeachment memorials in his hands into Yan Song's hands.
Yan Song took the impeachment memorial from Yan Shifan's hands unhurriedly, put on his reading glasses, and began to read the contents carefully.
"Well, the rhetoric used in this impeachment memorial is quite gorgeous, but as for the content above, it makes no sense!"
After Yan Song finished speaking, he nodded, and then threw these impeachment memorials aside casually.
Xu Jie on the side saw this, chuckled, stood up from his seat, came to Yan Song, picked up the impeachment memorials that Yan Song had thrown aside, and said slowly.
"What Mr. Yan Ge said is wrong. These impeachment memorials have not been verified, so how can they be false?"
"How about this, let's ask the people from the Inspectorate to verify it?"
Yan Song did not feel any dissatisfaction with Xu Jie's proposal, he just nodded and responded.
"Well, what Mr. Xu Ge said makes sense. This kind of thing should be verified by people from the Inspectorate!"
"Besides, this is also their responsibility. Zhao Zhenji cannot push everything to the cabinet. Are you right, Mr. Xu Ge?"
At this moment, Xu Jie was shocked by Yan Song's confident appearance.
"What's going on? Yan Song is so confident. What does he have to rely on?"
"Is it the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple, or the Inspectorate!"
"No, it's impossible. The Inspectorate is directly responsible to His Majesty. Even if Yan Song was given a hundred courages, he would not dare to attack the Inspectorate."
"He is just pretending to be calm, yes, that must be the case!"
Xu Jiexuan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and said this.
"Well, I also think Mr. Yan Ge's suggestion is a good one!"
"Right now, the imperial court's trend of wanton impeachment is becoming more and more serious. If things go on like this, all the officials will definitely be in panic!"
When Xu Jie said this, he paused for a moment and continued.
"At that time, everyone will only care about whether they can keep the black gauze hat on their heads, let alone any real use!"
"Therefore, I propose that if the contents of these impeachment memorials are untrue, all the officials who wrote the impeachment memorials will be removed from their posts, investigated and punished for their crimes!"
After hearing what Xu Jie said, Yan Song nodded and agreed.
"Well, let's do it like this!"
Afterwards, Xu Jie summoned his subordinate, handed the impeachment memorials in his hands into the hands of the subordinate, and gave these instructions.
"Go and return these memorials to the Inspectorate, and tell the cabinet that they need to send people to verify their authenticity."
"Yes, Mr. Xu Ge!"
After the subordinate responded, he carefully took the impeachment memorials and immediately left the cabinet.
Yan Song looked at the subordinates' leaving figures, with a slight mockery on his face, and said to himself.
"Xu Jie, since you don't want to have fun, then don't blame me for flipping the table!"
Ever since the news spread in the palace that King Jing was about to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal.
Yan Song had already anticipated the methods Xu Jie might use. He knew very well that if he blindly defended, he would only gradually fall into a disadvantage.
Only by completely muddying the water can you have a chance of surviving.
Before that, Yan Song had already asked his capable subordinates to seize the time to collect dirty information from Qingliu.
Don’t you Xu Jie want to impeach me? Then come on!
Let's take a good gamble by using the lives of the officials under both sides as bargaining chips.
Thinking of this, Yan Song's face revealed not only a cruel smile.
But Xu Jie was not aware of all this. In his opinion, Yan Song, an old fox, would not end up in person unless absolutely necessary!
Therefore, he will most likely choose to cut off his tail to survive in order to protect himself.
And he can seize this opportunity and eat away at Yan Song's power step by step!
Xu Jie forced down the excitement in his heart, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and said this.
"Now that the matter has been settled, let's just wait for the news from the Inspectorate!"
"OK, all right."
Yan Song nodded, then stood up shakily and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Others in the cabinet were naturally aware of the tense atmosphere, and for a while no one dared to speak.
The entire cabinet fell into a dead silence, and the only sound left was the rustling of paper.
…
The subordinate official earlier felt quite uneasy after receiving Xu Jie's order.
For no other reason than this is an offending job!
As far as he is concerned, he cannot afford to offend anyone on either side. One is a powerful cabinet minister, and the other is the supervisory censor!
In this way, he lingered at the gate of the Inspectorate for a long time, and finally entered the Inspectorate with a sudden change of heart.
As expected, he was quickly stopped by the guards of the Inspectorate.
"who!"
"I was entrusted by Mr. Xu Ge to convey the instructions from the cabinet. I need to see you, sir."
The expression on the subordinate's face remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice.
After the guards looked the subordinate officer up and down and saw that his expression was as usual, they couldn't help but believe him and immediately gave the order.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and report to you soon!"
After the guard finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was handling the affairs of the Inspectorate. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Zhao Zhenji frowned slightly, put down the brush in his hand, and gave the order.
"Come in!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, the previous guard suddenly knelt down on the ground and saluted respectfully after entering the room.
"Sir, there is a subordinate waiting outside. He said that he was entrusted by Mr. Xu Ge to convey the instructions from the cabinet!"
After hearing the report, Zhao Zhenji's face was full of horror, and he immediately asked.
"What are you talking about? He is here to convey the instructions from the cabinet? And he was entrusted by Xu Jie!"
"Yes, my lord, that's what he said."
Seeing this, the guard who was kneeling on the ground nodded and responded respectfully.
Zhao Zhenji paced the room anxiously, thinking to himself.
"It's over, it's over, it's impossible to stay out of it now!"
Afterwards, Zhao Zhenji quickly reacted and gave instructions to the guard.
"Go and call him to the officer. Go quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the guard hurriedly left the room after responding.
After a while, when he returned to his original position, he saw that the subordinate clerk was still waiting there without any sign of impatience.
"My master told you to go there immediately, please come with me!"
After the guard finished speaking, he went ahead to lead the way, while the subordinate official followed his lead and came to the room where Zhao Zhenji was.
"Sir, we have already arrived!"
"Well, I know, please go down!"
Zhao Zhenji waved his hand quite casually and gave the order.
