I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 223 The Governor's Mansion Enlightened Hai Rui
"Because they can still serve His Majesty, it's as simple as that!"

"If they do not do well and anger His Majesty, then it will be time for liquidation."

"At that time, it's time for us to go out!"

Zhao Zhenji's words were like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the concepts he had cultivated all along.

"But, this..."

Hai Rui hesitated and wanted to argue, but he found that his reason was so weak and pale, and then he fell into deep thought.

"That's right, as an emperor, you should do it for the people of the world!"

"But such a big place, with so many people, how can the emperor alone manage it?"

"Therefore, the emperor needs someone to manage the people, and implement and implement the policies he promulgated!"

"For the emperor, as long as the courtiers are able to do things and are loyal to him, that's enough! As for the others, they are just extras."

"Therefore, as long as it does not affect the normal implementation of policies and the daily operations of the imperial court, the emperor usually turns a blind eye to this."

"Only when the struggle between the two sides affects the daily operation of the court or the livelihood of the people, will the emperor stand up and act as a referee to adjust the relationship between the two parties."

Hai Rui stood there, contemplating for a long time, as if he had figured out something, his whole body suddenly became radiant, with a different kind of light in his eyes.

Zhao Zhenji's words gave Hai Rui a lot of inspiration, allowing him to put himself in a higher perspective and look at the problem.

"Maybe, His Majesty deliberately caused the two of them to fight! Because only in this way, His Majesty can learn the news from different channels, so as to avoid being deceived."

"If the struggle between the two parties is limited to a controllable range, it will not only broaden the channels of information, but also take advantage of the situation and use the hands of these officials to promote their own policies!"

"After all, if you don't carry out what the emperor ordered, the emperor will let your opponent do it!"

"And both sides are very afraid that the other side will get more favor from the emperor, thus breaking the balance of power!"

"Therefore, in order not to be thrown off by the opponent, we must spare no effort to implement His Majesty's policies and at the same time please His Majesty."

"If it goes on like this for a long time, it can barely be regarded as a virtuous circle! Of course, the premise is that everything is within a controllable range."

The more Hai Rui thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and then he looked at Zhao Zhenji gratefully and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Imperial Envoy, for clarifying the confusion. What you just said has benefited the officials a lot!"

"The lower officials have been taught!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he immediately bowed to the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was completely confused about Hai Rui's reaction.

In his opinion, he just gave Hai Rui a few hints, but Hai Rui's reaction was completely beyond his expectations, and he seemed to have learned something from it.

"It's okay, if you can learn something from it, then this official is not wasting all this effort."

Zhao Zhenji waved his hand, and then said to Hai Rui.

"Your Imperial Envoy is really unfathomable. You are indeed a person who has been immersed in officialdom for many years! Such a profound truth is contained in a few casual words."

"Hai Rui, Hai Rui, from now on, you need to listen more, see more, and think more!"

"Only in this way can we guarantee that we can successfully realize our ambitions in the future."

Thinking of this, Hai Rui looked at Zhao Zhenji with even more reverence!

At this moment, he already regarded Zhao Zhenji as his mentor.

"Okay, since that's the case, then go down and prepare! Hand over all the tasks that should be handed over, and don't make any mistakes."

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhao Zhenji said so immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Imperial Envoy, I will resign immediately!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he saluted Zhao Zhenji respectfully and left the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as Hai Rui walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he saw a sedan chair parked not far from the Governor's Mansion, with bearers waiting anxiously beside it.

At this moment, it was getting late, and the sedan chair was parked there alone, which looked quite eye-catching.

Just when Hai Rui was feeling puzzled, the bearer saw him coming out, so he hurried up and said respectfully.

"My lord, my master asked me to wait for you here!"

"Who is your master?"

Even though Hai Rui already had some guesses in his heart, he still asked.

"If you go back to your lord, it's the chief political envoy, and I'll send the little one here to wait for you!"

After hearing what the bearer said, Hai Rui felt relieved and got on the sedan chair immediately.

……

Soon, the sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the previous restaurant, and the bearer lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said respectfully.

"Sir, it's already here."

"Ah."

Hai Rui nodded, then stepped out of the sedan chair and walked straight to the restaurant.

Since Hai Rui had already been here once before, Hai Rui was quite familiar with this place.

Therefore, he soon came to the box where Zheng Michang was, pushed open the door, and entered it.

"You are finally here, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, come, sit down!"

"Little Er, serve!"

Zheng Michang was very enthusiastic about Hai Rui's arrival and kept greeting him.

Hai Rui didn't refuse, and accepted Zheng Michang's enthusiasm, and sat down on the side seat.

In his view, after Zheng Michang learned that he was about to serve in the Inspectorate, he made up his mind to settle the suspicion with him.

At that time, his status as an official of the Inspectorate will also become a big help.

Hai Rui just thought for a while in this direction, and figured out where the joints are.

Soon, the steaming hot dishes were served by the waiters and filled the whole table.

After the dishes were served, Zheng Michang poured a glass of wine for himself and Hai Rui, and then a little apology appeared on his face.

He got up from the seat, picked up his wine glass, and said this to Hai Rui.

"What happened before is because I did something wrong. I was too excited at that time, just now..."

It's just that before Zheng Michang finished speaking, Hai Rui interrupted him.

"Wherever it is, adults are only responsible for it!"

"The actions of the lower officials at that time were also a little thoughtless, so you don't have to blame yourself."

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he got up and raised his glass to touch Zheng Michang, and then drank it down.

"You are..."

At this moment, Zheng Michang froze in place, his face full of puzzlement.

"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing, come and tell me someone, is this person in front of you Hai Rui?"

"What are you still doing, my lord?"

Hai Rui looked at the glass of wine in Zheng Michang's hand, and said with a half smile.

"I almost forgot about this matter, I should be punished! I should be punished!"

After Hai Rui's reminder, Zheng Michang suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately drank the wine in his glass.

After drinking a glass of wine, perhaps to express his apology, Zheng Michang drank two more glasses of wine in succession.

"My lord, what is the reason why you asked the next official to come here this time?"

Although Hai Rui already knew Zheng Michang's purpose well, he still asked on purpose.

"This... well, I really have something to do when I ask you to come here this time."

Seeing that Hai Rui didn't talk too much nonsense and went directly to the topic, Zheng Michang was at a loss for what to do.

"My lord, it's okay to say what you say, after all, you used to be kind to the lower officials, didn't you?"

Seeing this, Hai Rui immediately gave Zheng Michang a step up.

"Well, I invite you here this time for two main reasons! The first thing is to resolve the misunderstanding between us."

Zheng Michang turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and then said.

"My lord, I don't care about this matter."

Hai Rui had a panoramic view of the expression on Zheng Michang's face, and shook his head, expressing that he didn't care.

"Really? That's great!"

Zheng Michang was relieved to see that Hai Rui said the words himself, so he said.

"The second thing is to do it for you!"

Right now, you are about to go to the capital to take up a post, and I, as the boss, have nothing to do to help you. "

"This is the only way to express my feelings."

For some reason, Zheng Michang felt that the Hai Rui in front of him seemed to have been reborn after entering the Governor's Mansion.

Indistinctly, Hai Rui had an inexplicable aura, as if everything was under his control!And in front of him, he unknowingly became the weaker side.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will never forget your help!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he picked up the jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine, saying so.

"In this case, the official can rest assured."

After hearing Hai Rui's words, Zheng Michang gradually felt relieved.

"Let's not talk about it, let's have a drink."

"cheers!"

……

"Drive!"

At this moment, the night was already deep, and there was only a rush of horseshoes sounding on the outskirts of Hangzhou.

Just when the soldiers guarding the city stopped him and wanted to ask him about his identity, he got a shocking news from him.

"The person here claims to be a close friend of Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe. He came to Zhejiang this time because he wanted to deliver the letter directly to the emperor through Hu Zongxian's channel."

"And the letter records the current situation in Jiangxi Province in detail, and Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe has been suspended and is under surveillance all the time!"

The matter was so serious that this group of soldiers did not dare to make a rash decision, so they had to report the situation layer by layer.

On the way from Jiangxi to Zhejiang, the visitors also exhausted several horses to death!
When he arrived in Hangzhou, he was exhausted and almost lost the strength to speak. Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly carried him to the bed to rest.

At this moment, in the Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian finally got the news from his subordinates after reporting layer by layer.

"What, the governor of Jiangxi was evacuated, not only that, but also under surveillance at all times!"

"Right now, where is the messenger?"

Hu Zongxian asked immediately after listening to the report of his subordinates.

"Report to the governor, the people who come here have been stopped outside the city by the soldiers defending the city!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian asking about this matter, the subordinates on the side quickly responded.

"Well, don't hesitate any longer, take me there!"

After Hu Zongxian thought for a moment, he ordered.

"Yes, my lord governor, this subordinate will go and prepare horses for you!"

After the subordinate responded, he quickly left.

The movement in the Governor's Mansion naturally cannot be hidden from Zhao Zhenji, who walked into the room and asked Hu Zongxian.

"What happened?"

Hu Zongxian sighed, and immediately chose to tell Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy, everything.

"What, dare to be so bold!"

Zhao Zhenji was also taken aback after listening to Hu Zongxian's description, her face was full of shock.
