Chapter 52 Incitement
"Okay, let me go."

After arriving at a deserted place in the Forbidden City, Yan Song spoke calmly.

"Yes, father, it's just..." Yan Shifan immediately let go of his hand, his face was full of worry.

"There is nothing to regret, everything went according to plan! After returning home, the house closed the door to thank guests, and no one was seen."

"Okay, my son, go tell them now!" Yan Shifan said, and left quickly.

……

Forbidden City, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jiajing sat on the dragon chair, carefully flipping through the memorial that Yan Song handed over, with a blank expression on his face.

Lu Fang waited on the side, with a worried look on his face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the dragon's body, you should rest for a while!"

Jiajing nodded after listening, then put down the memorial in his hand, and softly called to Lu Fang: "Come, drink tea with me."

After Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang immediately sat in front of Jiajing tremblingly, and the maid at the side quickly poured tea for the two of them.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, Jiajing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "What do you think of this memorial from Mr. Yan Ge?"

"Your Majesty, slaves dare not comment." Lu Fang held a teacup in her hand and smiled wryly.

"I think this memorial is quite good, but the words and sentences are not like his own handwriting, but more like his son Yan Shifan's style of writing. Look at the sentences used here..." Jiajing was so excited, he put down the teacup, and pressed Then he chattered endlessly about the differences in writing style to Lu Fang.

"Your Majesty is not angry with this memorial from Master Yan Ge?" Lu Fang asked tentatively after hesitating for a long time.

"Angry? Why am I angry?" Jiajing laughed loudly when he heard Lu Fang's words.

"Could it be that Your Majesty and Elder Yan Ge are together..." Lu Fang seemed to have guessed something, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Now that you know, don't talk nonsense." Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang with a faint look, and then lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty, this servant will definitely rot this matter forever!" Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Fang panicked and almost knocked down the teacup on the table.

"Okay, why are you nervous? There is still something you need to do next." After Jiajing drank the tea in the cup, he poured himself another cup.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, this servant is willing to do everything for His Majesty, and I will never give up!" Hearing what Jiajing said, Lu Fang immediately dropped her head to the ground and said.

"Go and spread the news about the imperial concubine Shen's pregnancy later, remember, don't leave any clues!" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly.

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she bowed to Jiajing and turned to leave. On the way back, Lu Fang kept thinking about the intention of the emperor's move.

"Could it be that the emperor wants to use the unborn child as a bargaining chip to urge those officials to stand in line? Or is there some other intention..."

Numerous possibilities flashed through Lu Fang's mind, but he rejected them all one by one. With this feeling in mind, Lu Fang ordered the matter.

……

At night, the capital city, Prince Yu's Mansion.

Because everything that happened in the court meeting during the day was too shocking, this made Yu Wang Zhu Zaicui (ji) panic, and after he was on duty, he invited everyone from Qingliu to the mansion to discuss the matter.

"What should we do next? Then Yan Song proposed to the emperor to reduce the expenses of the imperial family and implement the decree of grace! Isn't this going to force people to death?" Seeing Xu Jie and others coming, Zhu Zaiqian quickly poured out his bitterness .

"Your Highness, please rest assured. When Yan Song mentioned this matter to His Majesty today, His Majesty was furious, and even asked his son to carry him back home. I think His Majesty would not accept it." Gao Gong saw Zhu Zaiku so nervous , hastily comforted him.

"I don't think so. I have been officials in the same dynasty as Yan Song for nearly 20 years! According to my understanding of him, he will never do such irrational things rashly. Let's talk in the study." Xu Jie took a panoramic view of the expression on Zhu Zai's face, and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, please come in!" Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhu Zaiqian hurriedly greeted everyone to the study, and called the butler to order him to go on without disturbing anyone.

"Is there any basis for what Xu Ge said earlier?" After entering the study, Zhu Zaiku couldn't wait to ask Xu Jie.

"Your Highness, I don't have any basis for the time being, but judging from Yan Song's usual behavior, he would never do such an impulsive thing."

"That Yan Song is old and cunning, and he is always careful in his actions, never leaving any excuses! Others always think twice before acting, and there may be mistakes in them, but this Yan Song will only act after careful consideration. I doubt what happened today. It was also planned by him!"

Xu Jie frowned, and put forward his conjecture to Zhu Zaixi.

"I think Mr. Xu Ge's words are justified. How could Yan Song, who is so careful in his actions, suddenly say such cruel words in today's court meeting? There must be someone behind this!" After listening to Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng said, After thinking for a while, he gave the answer.

And there is only one person who can let the dignified chief minister of the cabinet end in person, and that is the emperor!
"Hiss~" Everyone was shocked by their conjectures, and couldn't help but gasp.

"You mean that His Majesty ordered all of this behind?" Gao Gong's expression became astonished, and his tone became hesitant.

"If that's the case, I'll ask my father to clarify, and ask him to withdraw his order!" After hearing the conjectures of the people, Zhu Zaidi thought for a while, and then prepared to go to the Forbidden City.

"Your Highness, no! Since His Majesty has already decided on this matter, it cannot be changed in any way. Now you will not only do nothing, but also offend His Majesty." Seeing this, Xu Jie hurriedly stopped Zhu Zaiyi , comfortingly said.

"Then what to do, if Yan Song's method is followed, those clans will not be able to survive!" Zhu Zaidi, who was stopped by Xu Jie, showed worry and indignation, and refuted.

"This..." Everyone was silent, unable to think of any solution for a while.

……

At this time, a large number of officials and students of the Imperial College gathered in front of the gate of Yan Mansion, and even many ordinary people in the capital were among them. spread throughout the capital.

This let many people in the capital know that in the cabinet of Daming, there is still a cabinet elder who cares about the people, is righteous, and is not afraid of power!Those vassal kings and clans usually do a lot of things to bully the people, and the people who are being bullied dare not speak out because of their identities. Now that someone is helping them to vent their anger, how can there be any reason not to help them?As night fell, many people spontaneously gathered in the Yan Mansion to express their solidarity.

As for those officials and Guozijian students, some belonged to the strict party line, and some were moved by Yan Song's outspoken speech at the court meeting today, and wanted to join his sect.

Officials, Guozijian students, and common people in the capital, these people with different identities on weekdays, gathered in the street where the Yan Mansion is located tonight, orderly and without noise.

The closed door of the Yan Mansion was opened, and Yan Shifan walked out. His face was haggard, his eyes were red, and he bowed to everyone present, "Father is not feeling well, please come back."

"Ge Lao!" The crowd gathered here heard Yan Shifan's words and couldn't help crying out in pain.

"Recently, my Yan family has closed the door to thank guests. I haven't seen anyone. I hope you understand."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he bowed again to the crowd, and then slowly closed the door.

"These clans are really insects, such a good elder was forced into this state by them!"

"That's right, how about we ask His Majesty to deal with these people properly!"

"Come on, let's go to the Forbidden City!"
