My father is Jiajing

Chapter 315: Doing What Should Be Done
Yan Shifan was forced into a corner by Hai Rui's words.

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but glance at Hai Rui with shining eyes. At this moment, Emperor Jiajing finally understood the helplessness of Sun Yingkui, the former Minister of Revenue.

Hai Rui's firepower was so strong. With rules in one hand and Ming Dynasty laws in the other, he was simply invincible.

What Shangshu, what Shilang are not worthy of Hai Rui's eyes.

So at this point, Emperor Jiajing sighed in his heart: "San'er is so lucky to have accepted such a righteous and fierce person. With this person as a pioneer in the future, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things."

Therefore, at this time, Emperor Jiajing looked at Hai Rui with a more favorable attitude, unlike before when he just remembered Hai Rui in a joking manner.

Yan Shifan said anxiously: "I have it! Of course I have it! These workers and civilians are originally under the jurisdiction of my Ministry of Industry, so of course I have their secret reports!"

This was what Hai Rui was waiting for. Hai Rui's tone became serious and he asked, "Minister Yan, please tell me who sent the letter to you?"

Just as Yan Shifan was about to lose his temper, Yan Song's voice suddenly rang out, "Yan Shifan! Speak properly, what do you mean by your Ministry of Works? That is the Ministry of Works of the imperial court. Moreover, you have the Minister of Works and the Emperor above you. What are you in charge of?"

Yan Song's words were very timely, as he directly pointed out the name of Yan Shifan, who was almost defeated by Hai Rui, Luo Longwen.

Once Luo Longwen's name is revealed in front of the emperor, everything will be investigated to the end.

Although Yan Song didn't know what was going on with Luo Longwen, he knew Yan Shifan's character too well as his father knew his son.

Now Yan Shifan failed to pursue Hai Rui and was led by the nose by him. This means that Hai Rui was not afraid of the so-called secret evidence at all.

Therefore, in order to stop the loss in time and prevent Yan Shifan from falling into passive madness, Yan Song had to take the initiative to stop him and let Yan Shifan calm down.

After Yan Song scolded him like this, Yan Shifan immediately became obedient.

At this time, Yan Song stood up from his chair again, trembling, and bowed to Emperor Jiajing: "This old minister has failed to teach his son well, causing him to lose his manners in front of the emperor. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing hummed expressionlessly, "It's all for official business. I don't blame you."

But Emperor Jiajing was already very unhappy. The big show was about to begin, but was interrupted by Yan Song. He might not have the chance to continue watching.

However, after changing his mind, Emperor Jiajing's mood of watching the show was restrained. This was definitely not the time to embarrass Yan Shifan and his dignity. He still needed Yan Shifan to do something more for him.

If Yan Shifan was really defeated this time, it would also destroy the balance that Emperor Jiajing had worked so hard to create.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing said again at this time, "I understand this case. It is not complicated. Yan Shifan reported that Wang Youzhao neglected his duty and that Hai Rui concealed the truth and destroyed the body."

"However, Yan Shifan's secret report is not sufficient evidence. So let the people from the Sanfasi check the workers' shed and dormitory outside Chongwenmen before we deal with this case."

"If anything is found, then we will deal with it according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If nothing else, the construction of the outer city of the capital cannot be stopped and must continue."

"Yan Shifan will also urge Yan Maoqing to return the silver from the salt administration, and Hai Rui will continue to supervise the progress of the project on behalf of Prince Yu."

After saying these words, Emperor Jiajing left the hall and stopped watching.

At this time, the most powerful person in the palace was naturally Yan Song.

Yan Song stood up again and said to the people in the hall: "Your Majesty is right. The project of the outer city of the capital is the most important matter. As for the matter reported by Yan Shifan, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple will investigate it now, and the Censorate will supervise it. Investigate it carefully to find out whether it was a person or a sheep who froze to death."

"If it is a human, then we will handle it according to the laws of the court. If it is a sheep, then everything should be restored to its original state and construction should begin as soon as possible without delaying the progress." Yan Song's words set the tone for the matter.

He also artistically removed Yan Shifan from the matter, preventing him from continuing to get involved.

Because Yan Song had already seen through it, if he continued to interfere, he might really make the emperor unhappy.

The best option is to stop now and maintain your dignity.

After Yan Song finished speaking, everyone in the hall watched, Xu Jie immediately reacted and said, "Lord Yan is right, no matter how big the matter is, it is not as big as the outer city project of the capital."

"The Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court should investigate as soon as possible, and the Censorate should supervise the progress. We must complete this matter as quickly as possible and give a clear explanation to the court and the people of the capital."

The Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Supreme Court listened to Xu Jie's words, as well as Yan Song's words before, and they understood instantly. They bowed to Yan Song and Xu Jie and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do it right away."

Seeing the sudden change in the course of events, Wang Youzhao looked at Xu Jie anxiously, "Lord, what should I do?"

Xu Jie was furious when he saw Wang Youzhao, who was so irresponsible and cowardly. If he could be as tough as Hai Rui, why would he end up like this?

However, since Wang Youzhao asked, Xu Jie had no choice but to speak.

Xu Jie said: "You must cooperate with the investigation of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. You must not leave the government office at will until the matter is concluded."

After Wang Youzhao heard what Xu Jie said, he seemed to have some confidence in his heart. He quickly replied: "I will go back immediately."

Then Wang Youzhao left the main hall as if he was escaping for his life.

Then Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan who was standing beside him and said, "Come and help me leave."

Yan Shifan hurried over and supported Yan Song obediently, while at the same time looking at Hai Rui with dissatisfaction.

After Hai Rui was looked at by Yan Shifan, he naturally did not take it to heart.

He and everyone else bowed respectfully to Yan Song who was leaving, and then left the hall with Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

When they got outside the palace, Gao Gong looked at Hai Rui and said with emotion, "Ruxian, today I finally understand why you are called Gangfeng. You are indeed strong and upright, and you are not afraid of evil!"

After hearing Gao Gong's praise, Hai Rui also said modestly: "Master Gao, you are too kind. I just did what I should do."

Zhang Juzheng, who was standing by, felt emotional when he heard Hai Rui's words.

It sounds like a simple answer to do what you should do.

But who in this world can really do what should be done?

So, at this moment, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sincerely admire Hai Rui's character.

At the same time, Zhang Juzheng could not help but feel a little more respect for Zhu Zaigui, and felt that the prince he was teaching was indeed unfathomable and capable. Otherwise, how could he have subdued Hai Rui, this strong sword?

If it weren't for Lord Yan's sudden interruption and the Emperor's deliberate stop, today's incident would definitely have been a big deal!
