Chapter 41 Voting
Looking at the notes handed up step by step, even if you are an old man, you still feel quite tricky.

"Everyone, can you find a way?" Yan Song opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the remaining elders.

"After all, this matter involves the face of the royal family, I think, let's ask His Majesty for instructions first!" Xu Jie met Yan Song's gaze and said slowly.

"I agree with Elder Xu Ge's opinion, this matter should really be discussed in the long term!" Gao Gong also followed up to speak.

"If you have to ask His Majesty for instructions, what is the use of our cabinet?"

"They dare to hire murderers in the capital, or they are on the street in broad daylight, so many people are watching! You are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you say this?" Yan Shifan couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words.

"According to Elder Xiaoge, is it to be done in accordance with the laws of Ming Dynasty? It's just that if you act rashly, you will annoy His Majesty..." After Xu Jie finished speaking, he paused for a moment intentionally.

"Naturally, I'm the only one responsible for the accident! Anyway, I don't think the people behind the scenes should be let go. Before you speak, please ask your own conscience!"

"You!" Gao Gong wanted to refute, but was stopped by Xu Jie.

"Old Xiao Ge is right. This matter really shouldn't have so many long-term plans. Today, I, Xu, have been taught!" Xu Jiechang sighed and bowed slightly to Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan looked at the appearance of Xu Jie, the leader of the Qingliu, and couldn't help but feel a little refreshed. It turned out that from the perspective of righteousness, it was such a refreshing feeling.

"Since we can't make up our minds for a while, let's vote for the five of us." Yan Song put down the teacup in his hand and said tremblingly.

"Well, that's fine too. Let's unify our opinions first, and then it will be easy to handle things." Xu Jie nodded without refusing.

"I agree, I agree too!" Now the chief minister and the second minister of the cabinet agreed, and the rest no longer objected.

"Those who agree to strict enforcement, please raise your hands!" After Yan Song finished speaking, he raised his hand first, and the rest Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Yan Shifan, and Zhang Juzheng also raised their hands in turn to express their agreement.

"Then since everyone agrees, let's follow the laws of Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Song glanced over the crowd and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Song opened the booklet handed over by Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Prefecture earlier, and wrote a small note on it: "The case has been taken over by the cabinet!"

After finishing writing the notes on the excerpt, Yan Song summoned the subordinate staff and said softly, "Make three copies of this, and send one to the Supervisor of Rituals! Another copy is given to the Ministry of Punishment, and the other copy is returned to Shuntian Fu Yin."

The subordinate officials took orders, and after a while, the three transcribed documents were sent to the Supervisor of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture respectively.

In a garden in the Forbidden City, where Jiajing was admiring the flowers, Lu Fang quickly stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, the cabinet has sent a brochure stating that the case has been taken over by the cabinet."

"Okay! Yan Song is quite relieved to handle things." Jiajing's mood improved a lot when he heard this.

But Lu Fang looked at the majestic emperor in front of him, but his heart became more and more fearful and uneasy. He knew that all the public opinion in the capital these days was dominated by this man in front of him!Your Majesty has long wanted to clean up those vassals and clans, but there has been no excuse, and now the clan has given His Majesty a reason to do it openly, how can this make people unhappy?
Pay attention to a teacher who is famous when doing things, and pay attention to a name that is justified!The timing, location, and harmony of people are all occupied by His Majesty, so why not succeed in what he planned?
"Your Majesty is not only ruthless to others, but also ruthless to himself!" Amid fear and anxiety, Lu Fang felt a strong sense of admiration in his heart.

"Lv Fang, let me know that I am ill today, and no one will be seen!" Just as Lu Fang was thinking wildly, Jia Jingna's voice came to her ears.

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty." Lu Fang came back to her senses and hurriedly replied.

……

Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his memorial and the small characters annotated on it. He finally got rid of this big trouble.

Now that the cabinet is personally taking over the case, it is foreseeable that assuming the case is resolved perfectly, the five elders in the cabinet will definitely be famous in history!Even after a thousand years, it will still be a beautiful story.

Being able to leave a name in history is undoubtedly a huge temptation for a scholar, but Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Ding Shichang is very clear: it is because they are the cabinet elders that they can act according to their own wishes. The little governor of Shuntian Prefecture came to supervise the case, and he was torn to pieces by the political vortex long ago.

Soon, an exciting piece of news circulated in the capital: "The cabinet announced to take over the case, and the victim must be given justice!"

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar, and many people in the capital rushed to tell the news, and those students who were studying at the Imperial College couldn't help but feel excited, and the depression that had accumulated in their chests disappeared.

"Have you heard? The Cabinet has taken over the case!"

"I heard that my father is from the Ministry of Punishment. According to him, the battle when the cabinet approved it was really..."

"Okay, okay, give justice to the victim!"

"Cabinet elders are really majestic, and a man should be like this!"

In the Imperial College, the students heard the news and lost their interest in studying and started talking about it. The teachers also stopped their lectures and let them talk.

"Do you think we should support them?"

"That's right, as students of the Imperial College, how can we waste time here? If we can come to the scene to see the demeanor of the five elders in person, it will be worth dying for!"

"Come on, no one can enter the cabinet except for a few elders and His Majesty!"

……

"Trash, it's all trash! You can't even do small things well, and you still caused me such a big problem!"

In the room, the drunk Zhu Qilu looked at the two kneeling at his feet, stretched out his index finger, and cursed angrily.

Zhu Qilu was extremely fat, and his clothes were baggy, and the fat on his body trembled along with his movements, which looked rather funny, and it was he who sent people to kill the scholar on the street.

"Your Highness, we also had our own difficulties. At that time, there were too many people on the street. I wanted to take him to the alley before doing it, but I was discovered by the scholar!"

"The scholar was yelling, his subordinates panicked, and it was only for a while..."

"I'll fuck you!" Zhu Qilu became angrier as he heard it, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it down hard on one of the people's heads.

With a bang, the wine glass shattered, and blood flowed from the wound on the head, dripping onto the floor, but the person who was hit by Zhu Qilu did not dare to make any movement, and still knelt on the ground.

After venting his emotions, Zhu Qilu also calmed down. Now this matter is causing a lot of trouble in the city. If he can't handle it well, the clan will definitely be implicated!And he is just the concubine son of Han Fan in Pingliang Prefecture. Although he is doted on, his status is far from being comparable to that of the concubine son, and he cannot use too many resources.

And the only thing Zhu Qilu can rely on right now is his status as a relative of the emperor!I am related to the current emperor, and according to seniority, I have to call him Uncle Huang.

Just as Zhu Qilu was thinking about possible ways to break the situation, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Who?" Zhu Qilu asked vigilantly.

"Your Highness, it's me." The person outside replied.

Zhu Qilu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voice, the person outside was the housekeeper, who was responsible for delivering things to him.

When Zhu Qilu opened the door, a large group of officials poured in and knocked him to the ground.

"What are you doing? You dare to arrest me. I'm from Pingliang Mansion! I'll let you go around! The emperor is my uncle."

"Hmph, you are the one who was arrested, take him away!"
