In the hall, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
None of the officials knew what the Emperor was going to say next.
"Otherwise, I will make him never again!”
Zhu Zaihou suddenly turned around and walked back to the throne.
There were also people with red eyes and dizzy eyes…
The eunuch announced loudly,
"His Majesty has decreed that we withdraw from court!"
More officials were wiping the sweat off their foreheads with their court robes…
The Emperor's reprimand just now had almost scared a few people to death.
Under the watchful eyes of the censors, the officials bowed and walked out of the hall.
Just as Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng were about to board the palanquin, the eunuch stopped them and said,"
"Milords, His Majesty has issued an edict to invite the two of you to meet His Majesty at Yangxin Hall.”
After hearing the eunuch's words, they looked at each other.
None of them dared to guess the emperor's will and hurriedly followed the eunuch to Yangxin Hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Stand up and grant me a seat."
A few palace maids and eunuchs carried two stools over. Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, and the others were terrified when they arrived.
"I dare not."
They did not know why the Emperor had summoned them today, and their hearts were in turmoil.
One had to know that the emperor had just intimidated all the officials in the Political Announcement Hall.
In the hearts of all the civil and military officials, the youth on the throne was not a good person.
However, they found that the current Emperor was actually very calm, and even had a little pleasant expression.
This--
All of a sudden, the Emperor's concern for their well-being made the two of them at a loss.
He wondered if the emperor was going to show off first and then restrain himself.
They were dumbfounded. The Emperor was really not a person who played his cards according to the rules.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time.
"This lowly subject is doing well, thanks to Your Majesty!”
"Minister Xu, take a look at Yang Jisheng's memorial.”
Xu Jie took the memorial from the eunuch's hands. When he took a look, his expression immediately changed!
On the memorial was the family property of Xu Jie's family in Songjiang Prefecture.
The ancestral house occupied an area of 10,000 mu, with 108 rooms, 30,000 mu of fertile farmland, and 22 ponds of various sizes…
Where did Xu Jie get so many fertile fields?
However, Zhu Houxi knew that someone from Xujie's family had made a fortune in the paper business.
But did this have anything to do with Xu Jie?
Xu Jie did not dare to sit back down anymore.
Now that Yan Song had fallen, the position of chief assistant was vacant. It was time for him to rise to the next level.
"Minister Xu is a pillar of the empire. There is no need to be so nervous.”
However, the local officials in his hometown always tried their best to "take care" of the family members.
Of course, they weren't benevolent, but came for him, Xu Jie.
After all, Xu Jie had been a secondary assistant for ten years!
"Your Majesty, the fields in my house were bought by my brother Xu Changxue. I don't have that much land."
"Everything is well documented. Your Majesty, please investigate.”
"Minister Xu, I have no intention of pursuing you.”
The uneasy Xu Jie thought to himself,"
"Your Majesty, how can I not be nervous? Yan Song and his Yan clique are examples…"
"Zhang Juzheng."
Zhu Zaihou took out another memorial and said.
"Your humble subject is here." Zhang Juzheng bowed.
"Zhen admires your drive for reform. The Tang newspaper doesn't have many records of your family property, which is also within Zhen's expectations.”
Then, Zhu Zaihou's tone changed.
Bang!
He was a smart person and immediately knew what the Emperor was trying to say.
"I don't dare. I'm afraid!"
Zhu Zaihou suddenly stood up and picked up the imperial edict that he had written on the Dragon Book table.
"This lowly subject receives the decree!"
Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng bowed at the same time and said respectfully.
