In the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, Lord Xu was vigorously correcting the mistakes.

"So in my opinion, this time we should focus on caring and persuading the six departments. After the meeting, everyone can go and talk to the department heads. If they really can't convince them, have them come to Wenyuan Pavilion to find me, and I will talk to them in person!"

As he spoke, Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, go and persuade His Majesty again. Simply protecting the eunuchs is not a solution. At least one or two eunuchs must be dealt with before the situation can be calmed down..."

Zhang Juzheng thought, isn't this just asking Bu Gu to face the fire?

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sinister voice coming from the main hall door:

"Lord Xu, this is not very honest of you, is it?"

All the university scholars looked at the direction and saw Teng Xiang, dressed in a python robe and holding a whisk, looking at Xu Jie with anger.

Elder Xu smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't misunderstand, Eunuch Teng. I'm definitely not referring to you."

"You can't point your finger at anyone!" Teng Xiang stepped over the threshold and walked towards Lord Xu, saying angrily, "Your Majesty has already finished the case, and you want to reopen it again. Do you really take His Majesty seriously?"

"Eunuch Teng!" Xu Jie's face tensed up after being rebuked, and his tone became unfriendly: "The cabinet is in a meeting, please don't barge in without permission!"

"Humph, the discussion is over." Teng Xiang sneered, took out a memorial from his sleeve, threw it in front of Xu Jie and said, "I sent it to you with good intentions, and wanted to say a few words to comfort you, but now I don't have to do that."

Lord Xu had never seen Teng Xiang so arrogant before, and he knew that he must have someone to rely on!

He suppressed his anger and looked down at the cover of the memorial. He saw the four characters "愆脆脆脆" (to correct mistakes) on the broken wax cover!

This is the seal of the Ministry of Justice...

Xu Ge Lao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled out the memorial from the cover. He saw the title on the upper part, which read, "Your Highness, Xu Zhi, the Right Vice Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice..."

Lord Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out to be that useless younger brother.

I don't know why this bastard wants to use his power of secret petition, but it can't be to impeach me, right?

His mind raced, Lord Xu burst into laughter, and then he took the entire memorial out of the cover.

Then there were a few words at the end: "Impeachment of the Cabinet Prime Minister Xu Jie for illegal acts"...

Lord Xu was petrified on the spot.

In the cabinet, a pin drop can be heard...

Li Chunfang sat closest to Lord Xu. He stretched his neck slightly, glanced at the memorial in Lord Xu's hand, and silently said:

"I, Xu Zhi, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing, impeach the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Xu Jie, for illegal activities..."

What the hell is this? Xu Ge Lao's own brother impeached him?

Could it be that the truth is dazzled?

Li Chunfang no longer cared about the rules. He widened his eyes and moved closer to look at it again.

It’s still the original twenty-two characters, not a single one has changed!

Where is the pit father? Oh no, where is the pit brother?

Li Cifu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the table...

Chen Yiqin also wanted to get closer to take a look, but he was too far away and he was not a giraffe.

Only Mr. Zhang had a face full of doubts and worries, but he still sat there motionless.

After a long while, Lord Xu lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone get out..."

"Don't be anxious, Yuanfu..." Li Chunfang hurriedly comforted him.

"Get out!" Xu Jie showed no appreciation and slammed the table.

"Master." Zhang Juzheng stood up.

"You go out too..." Xu Jie just wanted to be quiet at this moment.

"Yes." Helplessly, Zhang Juzheng had to follow the two ministers and the eunuch in charge of ceremonies out.

In the hall, only Xu Yuanchun was left standing by, also looking dumbfounded.

Looking at his uncle's name on the memorial, all kinds of bloody family ethics dramas were played out in Master Xu's mind, and he couldn't stop.

"Close the door..." Xu Jie slumped down on the official hat chair weakly.

"Uh, yes." After a while, Xu Yuanchun came back to his senses and quickly ran to close the door.

But his legs were weak and his whole body was powerless. He accidentally tripped over the table leg and fell heavily on the floor.

The pain made Xu Yuanchun burst into tears immediately. But he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly got up, limped to the door, and closed the heavy hall door one by one.

When the last ray of sunlight was blocked by the door, Xu Yuanchun seemed to hear the desperate sound of erhu and felt as if he was locked up in a death cell.

This is horrible, I want to go home...

Poor little Master Xu, he had just come to the cabinet with his grandfather on the first day, and he encountered such a devastating scene. This greatly affected his future life plans...

~~

The three university scholars did not dare to go far, so they went to Li Chunfang's duty room to wait, from where they could see the main hall entrance.

Teng Xiang didn't leave either, he followed to watch the fun.

"Eunuch Teng, what is going on?!" Chen Yiqin asked in a low voice.

"What else could it be? Just now, the Secretariat received the memorial sent by the Ministry of Public Administration, and when they saw the secret memorial with the silver seal, they quickly handed it to me." Teng Xiang said with some gloating, "I thought something was wrong, but when I opened it, I found out that it was actually Lord Xu's brother who impeached him."

As he spoke, Eunuch Teng's face wrinkled into a bun, and he said excitedly: "These are all private matters that are unknown to outsiders. The things they said are all unbearable to look at..."

"Eunuch Teng, be careful with your words!" Zhang Juzheng suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Teng Xiang had always been afraid of Zhang Juzheng, so he immediately shut up and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

"Has this impeachment been presented to the emperor?" Li Chunfang suddenly asked.

“Can you show it to Lord Xu without His Majesty’s judgment?” Teng Xiang was not afraid of Li Chunfang. He rolled his eyes at him and said, “Right now, the original is still in His Majesty’s hands.”

"What does Your Majesty say?" Chen Yiqin asked in a deep voice.

"He just said to bring it to Lord Xu to have a look, and nothing else was said." Teng Xiang said softly.

"Oh, it's really fate." Chen Yiqin sighed, thinking that God has eyes.

"Yeah, Lord Xu just returned to work, how come he encountered such a thing again?" Li Chunfang thought to himself, after I become the Prime Minister, I will rebuild Zhilu first, I like transparency.

"Everyone, the more difficult the time, the more firmly we must stand by the Prime Minister." Zhang Juzheng looked at the three of them seriously. He couldn't help feeling uneasy. Would he use too much force and anger his teacher to death?

Bu Gu doesn't want to be a disciple in mourning...

~~

In the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, under the plaque "Respecting the Ancestors' Constitutions".

Lord Xu was wearing glasses and reading the impeachment letter from his younger brother with trembling hands.

That evil creature, in a tone of voice that showed he was sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice, revealed all the shameful secrets of his past half life.

Xu Zhi revealed that his elder brother had frequent sex with his wife during the period of mourning for his father in the early years of the Jiajing reign, and secretly took in two concubines. His eldest son, Xu Fan, was born at that time. His sister-in-law died within two years, which was the retribution for Xu Jie's disrespect for his ancestors.

It was also said that Xu Jie wanted to force Jimei to be his concubine and force her to become a nun...

It was also said that the Xu family lent money at high interest in the Suzhou and Songjiang areas, forcing many families to become bankrupt every year, and then they took the opportunity to swallow up their land.

Some common people reported their crimes to the government, but the local officials not only failed to redress the people's grievances, but also threw the plaintiffs into prison. Few of these people ever saw the light of day again.

It is also said that the Xu family was crazy about accepting land donations - even though they knew that many ruffians were offering other people's land as donations, the Xu family still gladly accepted them and took them in as servants.

If the original owner of the land deed came to dispute, the Xu family would forcibly buy it back at a very low price. If the owner refused, his servants would threaten him by kidnapping and beating him until he surrendered.

If someone reports this to the authorities, please see the previous article...

There were more than a dozen charges of this kind, all of which were so disgusting and described in such detail that it was hard not to believe them.

What’s even worse is that the person who reported it is Lord Xu’s own brother. How could people not believe it?

"It would be better to just die..."

Elder Xu laughed strangely, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
