Chapter 314 Hai Rui's memorials always surprise people
Naturally, there are no Zhang Long and Zhao Hu in the Yan family.

There is none in Changping either.

But Yan Shaoting believed that as long as his words spread.

Xu Wenchang would naturally help him find these two people.

Now everything depends on Xu Wenchang.

then.

At the Changping Hundred Family Banquet.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu appeared in front of Hai Rui.

Two very honest men from Changping.

After taking the memorial written by Hai Rui today, he rushed to the capital without stopping.

As for what was written in that memorial.

Yan Shaoting didn't know, but he thought it wouldn't be an impeachment against him.

He felt that Hai Rui was not that shameless.

He wrote a memorial impeaching himself, and then asked someone to deliver it to the emperor.

Even Yan Shifan would not do this.

Zhang Juzheng's face was full of curiosity. He was quite curious about what this stubborn Hai Rui had written and what he was going to do.

But even though he was looking forward to it, all he got was a cold stare from Hai Rui.

It was obvious that the two of them were disgusted with each other.

As a result, the meal was not very enjoyable.

The taste was praised by Zhang Juzheng. The governor of Shuntian Prefecture seemed to be reluctant to leave.

I don't know if this Lord of the Mansion will come to Changping all day to extort money under the pretext of working.

As for Hai Rui.

He didn't know where his confidence came from, but he felt that he would be summoned by the emperor tomorrow, so he borrowed the carriage from Yan Shaoting that would pull him from the canal to Changping.

He took Wang Chao and Ma Han with him and planned to stay in Beijing tonight.

Ever since.

In order to ensure the safety of Censor Hai, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu from Changping will enter the city first today. After delivering the memorial to the palace, it will be natural for them to follow Master Hai.

"What do you think he wrote in his memorial?"

"I can actually make him believe it. If I submit the memorial to the palace tonight, I will be summoned by the emperor tomorrow."

It is still on the library floor of Changping Villa.

Xu Wei stood under the corridor, watching the carriage with an oil lamp hanging on it turn from Changping to the official road to the capital city in the gradually darkening sky.

Yan Shaoting walked out of the house holding a wine glass.

His eyes naturally fell on the carriage carrying Hai Rui.

He didn't know how to answer Xu Wei's question.

Hai Rui is a person who cannot be judged by common sense.

How could I guess what and who he wanted to impeach in the memorial?

All over the world.

He has come all the way from Zhejiang, and there is no telling how many places there are that can be impeached.

Yan Shaoting looked puzzled, and said with some doubt: "There is just one thing that I didn't expect."

Xu Wei turned his head and cast a curious look.

He smiled and asked, "Is there anything else that you haven't expected?"

"Thirty-two memorials from the beginning."

Yan Shaoting spoke softly.

His eyes were dim as he continued to stare at the carriage with an oil lamp hanging on it, which was particularly conspicuous in the night.

Xu Wei's eyes flashed by.

Thirty-two memorials!

This incident seemed to have happened a long time ago, long before he entered Beijing.

However, I got the clearest answer to the detailed questions on the lower floor of the library.

He couldn't help but stare at Yan Shaoting, who was holding a wine glass beside him, in the dark night.

If it goes according to plan.

This matter will be brought up again in the future.

And the purpose...

Of course, that's why the post station caught fire.

This was one of the foreshadowings of Yan Shaoting's many future plans.

Even if there is no one upstairs, the courtyard where the library is located is a secret place among the secrets of the entire Changping.

Xu Wei still lowered his voice and said: "According to what the guest said, if we want to completely overthrow Xu Jie, one or two things will not be enough to bring him down. We must do one thing after another to nail down his reputation as a traitor..."

After finishing speaking, Xu Wei temporarily stopped talking and looked at Yan Shaoting.

In fact, in his opinion.

There is now enough evidence about Xu Jie's crimes collected in the library. What is lacking is just the right opportunity.

Xu Wei looked worried and said uneasily, "I don't think Hai Rui will mention this in his memorial today."

Yan Shaoting shook his head. As Xu Wei waited anxiously, he only said two words.

"Hard to say."

Xu Wei's brows suddenly furrowed.

He was about to speak.

Yan Shaoting said first: "Maybe he will really bring this up, then this time..."

"Point the sword at Xu Jie!"

Xu Wei was shocked and said immediately, "Hai Rui is going to impeach the current cabinet's deputy minister this time!"

Xu Wei, who finally realized Hai Rui's purpose this time, was filled with surprise.

He was puzzled: "But..."

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "But the last time Hai Rui forcibly seized the Xin'an Guard Seal in Huizhou Prefecture, it was Xu Jie who spoke for him in the court and suppressed the matter."

Xu Wei nodded.

Logically speaking, no matter how impartially Hai Rui enforces the law, he cannot do this.

But think about it.

Xu Wei thought that perhaps it was because he was Hai Rui that he did this.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "In Hai Rui's view, public is public, private is private, and keeping public and private separate is his way of being an official."

Xu Wei hurriedly asked: "If this is true, then we should take this opportunity to make things bigger and bring out all the things you have prepared long ago?"

What he meant was that if Hai Rui really wanted to impeach Xu Jie this time, then they could take advantage of the situation to impeach Xu Jie and use Hai Rui to bring him down in one fell swoop.

Yan Shaoting's eyes flickered.

In his sight, the carriage with an oil lamp hanging in the distance had already disappeared from his sight and merged into the dark night.

After a while.

He shook his head and said, "Not a good time."

Just a few words.

But he rejected Xu Wei's proposal.

Xu Wei's brows were furrowed the whole time, as he was thinking about this matter intently.

In the end, he could only sigh deeply.

Yan Shaoting turned and looked at Xu Wei.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, have you figured it out?"

Xu Wei had a look of disappointment on his face and nodded helplessly.

"Because Your Majesty..."

Yan Shaoting nodded: "Yes, because of our good emperor, the time has not come yet."

It's not that he hadn't tried to fight Xu Jie directly in front of the emperor and take the opportunity to bring Xu Jie down.

After just a few attempts, the old Taoist priest was still undecided.

At that time, Yan Shaoting understood that the emperor would not care whether his cabinet ministers had done anything illegal. The only thing he cared about was whether the court was balanced.

Without a reason to bring Xu Jie down, the old Taoist priest would not have rashly abandoned Xu Jie.

So this time Jiajing opened the sea.

Yan Shaoting did not propose the most correct and appropriate approach.

Instead, they had to bring in the southeastern merchants who were involved in overseas smuggling and the court officials behind them to facilitate the opening of the sea.

If it goes according to his idea.

The court's opening of the sea does require the participation of the people.

But it is absolutely not the case that these people do not need to pay taxes when going out to sea.

After all, there are two taxes at customs, one for export and one for import.

The two taxes are combined to form the complete tariff.

Xu Wei's eyes were dim.

I don't know what he was thinking.

After a long time.

Along with a sigh, there was another laugh.

Yan Shaoting looked over.

Xu Wei was seen smiling.

He met Yan Shaoting's gaze and said, "The prince is now over one year old. In another three to five years, he will be able to start learning to read. In seven to eight years, he will be able to go out to study. By then..."

By then, Yan Shaoting will be Zhu Yijun’s first teacher!
Yan Shaoting looked curious, pretending not to know: "Oh? Why didn't Mr. Xu mention Prince Yu?"

"Prince Yu?"

Xu Wei muttered something, then looked at Yan Shaoting with a smile.

"When did the guest think that Prince Yu would be a wise ruler?"

He smiled.

Yan Shaoting also laughed.

And neither of them felt that there was anything unreasonable or inappropriate in standing on the rooftop of the library and discussing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Silent all night.

The next day.

Finally, news came from Beijing.

Hai Rui submitted a memorial.

The two words "Hai Rui" are now a weather vane in the court.

Ever since he sent those memorials to the capital, he has now become a role model and example among the censors in the capital.

The reputation has long been known.

And this time, Hai Rui was ordered to come to the capital, so naturally he had already attracted the attention of some interested people.

As soon as his memorial was delivered to the Western Garden, various parties began to inquire about it.

Wait until the next day.

The news finally came out.

It's different from what everyone guessed.

even.

Even Yan Shaoting and Xu Wei last night could only guess half of it correctly and did not guess it completely.

What's unexpected is that.

This guy Hai Rui.

He wrote a memorial to the emperor, impeaching himself!

Oh my god!

Such a thing had not happened in the Ming Dynasty for many years.

There were actually officials who wrote memorials to the emperor to impeach himself.

Not how many years.

There has never been one!
But now, Hai Rui just submitted a memorial and impeached himself with eloquent words.

Just as he said.

Hai Rui was the most treacherous minister in the Ming Dynasty.

If the emperor wanted to maintain peace in the court and justice in the world, he should punish him severely.

As the contents of the memorial came out.

The entire capital's officialdom was in an uproar.

Yan Shaoting and Xu Wei rode back to Beijing as soon as they received the news.

Because they all know it.

This time it will really be as Hai Rui said, his memorial will be summoned by the emperor.

Xiyuan.

Longevity Palace.

The weather has gradually cooled down.

Jiajing still wore a single piece of clothing with a long-sleeved Taoist robe.

In the main hall.

The laughter continued.

"This Hai Rui!"

"He actually impeached himself!"

"Hahahaha!"

"I have never heard of this before!"

"Hai Rui is a wonderful man!"

Holding Hai Rui's memorial in his hand, Jiajing stood up from the platform, waved his arms, walked out of the inner hall, and went to the palace gate in front of the main hall.

outside.

The imperial guards and three thousand troops from the capital are still guarding the palace.

Jiajing's face was filled with smiles.

Lu Fang followed beside him with a smile on her face.

"This Hai Rui has a strange personality. He is also stubborn when he is an official in the local government. This time he submitted a petition to his master to impeach himself. Although it is a bit unexpected, it is also something that Hai Rui can do."

Jiajing turned around and glanced at Lu Fang.

The smile on his face continued.

"Have you ever found out about the thirty-two memorials?"

But when I said this.

Jiajing's tone was particularly gloomy.

Lu Fang's shoulders trembled suddenly and the smile on his face disappeared.

He nodded: "It was already found out at that time, it was..."

Jiajing snorted coldly and waved his hand fiercely: "No need to say more!"

Lu Fang felt a little nervous and looked up at the emperor.

Jiajing narrowed his eyes.

"Since Hai Rui wants to hold a court meeting."

"Then I will allow him to have a court discussion and meet him."

"Pass it on."
