After Xu Jie got the answer to the question from the housekeeper, he couldn't help but fell into a daze and kept mumbling.
"No, this is impossible. There must be something wrong somewhere. How could the food be transported from Fujian to Zhejiang?"
"Don't he, Tan Lun, hate the strict Party members the most? Why would he..."
When Xu Jie said this, his eyes were full of shock that could not be concealed. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, the housekeeper on the side quickly stepped forward, supported Xu Jie, and continued to explain. road.
"Sir, this news was just discovered after many investigations. Mr. Tan must have had some difficulties and had to act like this, right?"
After hearing the butler's words of comfort, Xu Jie kept saying, "Yes, that must be the case. Maybe Tan Lun has some information that fell into Hu Zongxian's hands, or maybe His Majesty personally came forward."
Immediately afterwards, as if to convince himself to believe this statement, Xu Jie repeated this statement several times.
In his opinion, among the entire Qingliu, only Tan Lun can barely be used for a big purpose. The rest either do not have enough ability, or they are just temporarily grouping together to get what they need.
Xu Jie knew that Gao Gong had always been on guard against him in his heart and did not fully recognize his proposal. Although Zhang Juzheng was very respectful to him on the surface, he also had his own plans secretly.
Only Tan Lun was unguarded against himself. When Tan Lun served under Hu Zongxian, he carried out his orders to the letter. He was one of the rare people who was both capable and loyal to himself.
Now, at this critical moment, it was actually revealed that Tan Lun sent the grain from Zhejiang. How would Xu Jie accept this?
Therefore, Xu Jie quickly concluded that Tan Lun must have some information that fell into Hu Zongxian's hands, and he had no choice but to transport grain to Zhejiang.
"Zili, you are confused. If you encounter any problem, can't you just speak it out openly? Do you have to carry it alone?"
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he went straight to the study room, spread out his pen and paper, and planned to edit a letter himself to explore Tan Lun's background.
If Tan Lun reveals any flaws in this process, then don't blame Xu Jie for being ruthless!
After a while, Xu Jie calmed down and wrote: "Zili, how are you doing recently?"
After writing these words, Xu Jie fell into entanglement again. After a moment, Xu Jie made up his mind. He planned to get straight to the point and ask Tan Lun directly about the ins and outs of the matter.
"Not long ago, there was a shortage of grain in Zhejiang, which caused shock in the court. Brother Yu was also quite worried about this. But fortunately, with the help of you, the governor of Fujian, the local mulberry farmers in Zhejiang were able to turn the corner. Brother Yu was quite pleased with this. .”
"Brother Yu is very interested in the process, and I hope you can sort it out. Brother Yu, please be with Your Majesty and take credit for me!"
When the last word fell, the expression on Xu Jie's face had turned grim. He looked at the letter written by himself and said silently to himself.
"Tan Lun, Tan Lun, don't let me down, I don't want to take action against you!"
After the ink on the paper was dry, Xu Jie immediately called the housekeeper and gave instructions.
"This letter must be sent to Tan Lun in Fujian as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper immediately took the envelope from Xu Jie's hand with a solemn expression and turned to speak.
"Yes, sir!"
After that, Xu Jie waved his hand and sent the housekeeper away.
Soon, Xu Jie was the only one left in the room. It was only then that his face showed confusion and vulnerability.
Not to mention that the position of chief minister of the cabinet that was about to be obtained was lost. Now, Tan Lun, who had always been loyal to him, also had problems.
"What the hell is going on? Why do I always feel like someone is plotting against me, Xu Jie, behind my back!"
"It's so damned, it's so damned!"
"Do you think you can defeat me, Xu Jie, just like this? Just wait, I will clear out all of you who are blocking the road one by one. One day, I, Xu Jie, will still ascend to the throne of the chief minister of the cabinet! "
After some self-comfort, Xu Jie quickly regained his fighting spirit. He planned to continue to follow the previously determined strategy and spend time with Yan Song.
Even if His Majesty uses elixirs to cure Yan Song's illness, so what! Yan Song is already eighty-one years old and won't live much longer!
Thinking of this, Xu Jie's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Old guy, you are eighty-one years old, and you are still clinging to the position of chief minister of the cabinet. If you don't leave, then don't blame me, Xu Jie. You kick it down!"
…
After a night of fermentation, the news that Yan Song was revived by His Majesty with a pill soon spread throughout the government and the public.
This news undoubtedly brought great shock to the group of ministers in the court!
What they didn't expect was that there was such a magical elixir in the world that could bring people back from the edge of life and death!
But what surprised them even more was that His Majesty was actually willing to use such a precious elixir on Yan Song.
Secretly, some officials complained about this, because in their view, Yan Song was already eighty-one years old, and it was time to make room for young people like them to take over.
However, these people only dared to complain. If these words were known to Yan Song, there would be no need for Yan Song to speak, and someone would naturally rush to deal with them.
However, more officials are quite envious of Yan Song's treatment, and secretly yearn for it: "Look, this is the benefit of working for His Majesty!"
"In order to save Yan Song's life, Your Majesty is even willing to use such precious elixirs, let alone ordinary rewards. If you ask me, I have to work wholeheartedly for Your Majesty. That is the right way!"
As for the current discussions in the court, Jiajing, who was the instigator, had no time to take into account, and he did not even take action to guide public opinion.
At this moment, the Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
After a night of practice, Jiajing felt that his bottleneck had loosened a lot, and his control over his own power had also reached a new level.
Shortly after Jiajing exited the cultivation state and stood up from the futon, Lu Fang's voice came from outside the door.
"His Majesty!"
Jiajing felt a little strange about this. According to usual practice, Lu Fang should not come over at this time, but Jiajing didn't think much and immediately gave instructions.
"Come in!"
As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang stepped into the Qianqing Palace.
Although the expression on Lu Fang's face was the same as before, Jiajing could still sense that Lu Fang had an indescribable respect for him, that kind of reverence, just like when facing a god.
After Lu Fang entered the Qianqing Palace, she respectfully saluted Jiajing and said, "I have seen your majesty!"
When Jiajing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and immediately ordered.
"Well, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After getting Jiajing's permission, Lu Fang slowly stood up from the ground, then came to Jiajing's side, and told Jiajing the views of the officials in the court on the matter in detail.
Jiajing seemed to have expected this. After a chuckle, he turned and said, "What I want is this effect. If they want to say it, let them say it."
"As long as you can serve me better!"
