I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 183 Jiajing Angrily Rebukes His Officials
Not only the officials, but even Lu Fang was deeply shocked by what happened before!At this moment, Lu Fang was leaning on the pillar beside him, his face was full of fear, after all, the place where he was struck by lightning just now was only a dozen steps away from him.

As the person closest to Jiajing, Lu Fang also had some guesses about this, and thinking of the weather that thundered from time to time before, she said to herself silently: "Could it be that the weird weather in the capital a while ago was because your Majesty was communicating with God? "

Thinking of this, Lu Fang was even more in awe of Jiajing. After all, Jiajing is the only emperor who can communicate with God throughout the ages!
"No, Lu Fang, stop thinking about it! You don't know anything! Just serve Your Majesty with peace of mind!"

Lu Fang threw out the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and then her expression returned to the previous one, without letting anyone see the clues.

Compared with the other ministers who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize, Yan Song and the others could be regarded as stable as Mount Tai, without changing their expressions.

But if you look carefully, there is still a little fear on their faces, and their bodies are trembling uncontrollably!And they themselves were unaware of all this.

Time passed minute by minute like this, and after an unknown amount of time, the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was slowly pushed open, and Jiajing walked out from it, overlooking the group of officials who were kneeling on the ground not far away.

And almost at the same moment, those ministers who were ashamed of their hearts seemed to grasp the straw, and the flame called hope was rekindled in their hearts.

In the end, thousands of words converged into one sentence: "Your Majesty, I will bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Jiajing didn't respond, but stood on the spot by himself, like a sculpture.

After a long time, Jiajing said slowly: "To be honest, I am very disappointed in you."

Jiajing's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

Hearing the emperor's words, many ministers at the scene looked ashamed and lowered their heads involuntarily.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people are the water, and the court is the boat! I believe that as the officials of the Six Departments, you don't know such a simple and easy-to-understand truth?"

"I think back then, His Royal Highness Taizu, why did you revolt? Wasn't it because you couldn't survive that you had to rise up and conquer such a huge empire single-handedly!"

"And right now, what you are doing is digging at the root of my Ming Dynasty! The taxes on the people are getting heavier and heavier, and the years are good when the weather is good. Once there is a disaster, no food can be grown in the fields, and the people have no work. , I will turn into a refugee and rise up!"

"If you are a bit rotten, the Ming Dynasty will be rotten. If you are all rotten, the common people will rush up and let us die without a place to die!"

"However, if that time really comes, you will have no chance to find another new master, because before that, I will kill you all!"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, as if agreeing with his words, there were several thunderclaps in the sky, and then several lightning bolts struck down, causing panic and unfathomable abyss!
"Report to Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty, I implore His Majesty to punish him!"

I saw Yan Song standing up tremblingly, pleading guilty to Jiajing.

"Kneel down for me! Who told you to get up!"

Jiajing glanced at Yan Song and said coldly.

But Yan Song was swept over by Jiajing's cold gaze, and immediately knelt down, his face full of self-blame.

"Yan Song, of course you are guilty. As the chief minister of the cabinet, I don't believe you don't know about this! Maybe you are the culprit of everything."

"And you, Xu Jie, don't you know anything about how you became the cabinet secretary? You are not much cleaner than Yan Song!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing swept his gaze over the remaining three and said in a deep voice.

"There are a few of you, do you really think that I dare not kill you? To tell you the truth, even if I kill you all today, someone will fill the vacancy soon!"

"Your Majesty, if you are convicted, let Your Majesty punish you!"

Yan Song and the others knelt down to Jiajing again, and among them, there was a little crying.

"Just kneel here for me, think about what you have done, when you think clearly, you can leave!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he left without looking back. Seeing this, Lu Fang hurriedly followed Jiajing's footsteps and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after pouring a cup of tea for Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair, Lu Fang retreated to the side and softly comforted: "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't be so angry."

Jiajing took the teacup from Lu Fang's hand, took a sip, and said, "It's okay, I'm in good health, it's nothing."

After getting a response from Jiajing, Lu Fang felt relieved, and said to herself, "It's a good thing Your Majesty hasn't been dazzled by anger."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang put away her inner thoughts, and said respectfully to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, look, how should we deal with Mr. Yan Ge and the others?"

Jiajing had a panoramic view of the expression on Lu Fang's face. After pondering for a moment, he slowly replied: "It's still useful for me to keep them! Next, I have one more thing I need them to do."

"Your Majesty means to use this opportunity to reopen the sea..."

After listening to Jiajing's words, Lu Fang was also thoughtful, and subconsciously said, when he recovered, he found that the emperor was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"Say it, why don't you continue talking?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang quickly knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "It's the servant who has usurped, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, Jiajing didn't care about this matter, but slowly got up from the dragon chair, and explained to Lu Fang: "Lu Fang, you guessed right, I really want to take this opportunity to reopen the sea ban." !"

"However, the lifting of the sea ban will not be accomplished overnight! If the sea ban is lifted rashly, the imperial court will not be able to obtain the maximum profit from it."

"The biggest part of the profits will go to the smuggling families along the coast. In this way, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others?"

"What does His Majesty mean to open up some of the ports for the time being? And firmly control them in the hands of the imperial court, and lift the sea ban when the time is right?"

Lu Fang continued to think along Jiajing's train of thought, so he said.

"Well, yes, that's what I thought."

Jiajing nodded, saying so.

"Then which place does His Majesty want to open? Quanzhou or Fujian?"

Lu Fang couldn't hold back her inner curiosity, and asked Jiajing immediately.

"Quanzhou."

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang, and then said the name of the place.

"Your Majesty is wise! This slave thinks that Quanzhou is the most suitable place!"

Lu Fang saw that the emperor had already planned everything before this!The emotions in his heart were very complicated. While he was afraid, there was also a trace of reverence.

Jiajing waved his hand immediately, stopped the topic, and instructed Lu Fang to do so.

"Okay, Lu Fang, you go and watch them for me! If there is any movement, just report to me directly."

"The slaves obey!"

After listening, Lu Fang respectfully responded.

And just when Lu Fang was about to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jiajing's voice came from behind.

"You can master the specific heat yourself. When it's almost time, let Yan Song and the others come in. I still have things to tell them to do!"

"The servant knows."

Lu Fang paused for a moment, then left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without looking back.

And Lu Fang knew very well in her heart that if Yan Song and the others disagreed with His Majesty's idea, then they would no longer be of any use to His Majesty.

At that time, there is only a dead end waiting for them!
