Chapter 312
Soon, the incident that the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor lived was struck by lightning spread like wildfire.

But thanks to Jin Yiwei's timely action, the news did not spread any further!

However, people like Yan Song, Xu Jie and others learned the news immediately.

The moment they heard the news, they rushed to the Forbidden City in a sedan chair in extreme anxiety to meet Jiajing.

In the Forbidden City, in a side hall not far from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xu Ge are asking to see you outside!"

Lu Fang took a step forward and reminded her.

"Oh, what are the two of them doing here? Are they worried about my safety?"

"Forget it, let the two of them come in!"

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing put down the secret book of formation in his hand, waved his hand immediately, and ordered so.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After responding, Lu Fang left the room straight away.

On the steps outside the hall, Yan Song and Xu Jie were anxiously waiting for the news. When they saw Lu Fang's figure appear, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and hurried up to meet him.

Yan Song couldn't bear his temper, and asked Lu Fang first.

"Eunuch Lu, how is your majesty's situation?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang immediately lowered her voice and responded.

"Old Yange, you can rest assured that there is nothing serious about His Majesty's side, but the Hall of Mental Cultivation is temporarily uninhabitable."

"I don't know why, but there was thunder and lightning all of a sudden. It is said that there were eunuchs who saw a dozen lightning bolts falling at the same time!"

When Lu Fang said this, he seemed to recall the scene at that time, and his face was full of palpitations.

After listening to Lu Fang's narration, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he turned his eyes to Yan Song who was aside, and said in a deep voice.

"What do those officials in the Qin Tianjian do for food? The imperial court spends so much money every year to support them. Is it just to make them look at the stars?"

"You can't even do such a trivial thing as predicting the weather, what a waste!"

"I will meet His Majesty later, and I must let His Majesty come forward to clean up this group of corpses and vegetarians.

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Yan Song who was aside, and asked.

"Old Yan Ge, what do you think?"

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song pondered for a moment, and immediately gave the answer.

"Well, Mr. Xu Ge is right. The officials of the Qin Tianjian are tired and treacherous. They should clean up!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang couldn't help reminding her.

"Let's go in first, don't make His Majesty wait too long!"

After hearing Lu Fang's reminder, Yan Song and Xu Jie realized this and quickly thanked Lu Fang.

"Thank you for reminding me!"

After the two finished speaking, they followed Lu Fang's footsteps and stepped up the steps.

After entering the hall, Lu Fang respectfully reported to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are here!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she stood beside Jiajing as usual.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Afterwards, Yan Song and Xu Jie knelt on the ground tremblingly, saluting Jiajing.

"Well, get up, both of you!"

Until this moment, the hanging hearts of Yan Song and Xu Jie finally relaxed.

"Great, Your Majesty is fine!"

Immediately, the two suppressed the chaotic thoughts in their hearts and said in unison.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing glanced over Yan Song and Xu Jie one by one, and asked with a half-smile.

"If I remember correctly, the two of you should still be grounded at home, right?"

Hearing this, the expressions on Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces froze immediately, and they faltered in response.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after I heard the news, I was really too worried about His Majesty's safety, just now..."

Jiajing took a panoramic view of the expressions on Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces, nodded, and immediately spoke.

"Well, I am very pleased that the two of you can come to see me, not bad!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Yan Song and Xu Jie knew very well that it was the right trip for them!

Immediately, I saw the two of them knelt down on the ground with a "plop" in the posture of a virtuous minister sharing the king's worries, and begged Jiajing.

"For the sake of His Majesty's dragon body, I implore Your Majesty to renovate the palace!"

After listening to the requests made by Yan Song and Xu Jie, Jiajing nodded, and immediately gave orders.

"This palace definitely needs to be repaired."

"Right now, a big hole has been dug out in the Hall of Mental Cultivation where I live, and it is temporarily uninhabitable."

"How about this, Yan Song, after you come down later, you can go to the Ministry of Industry to issue a corresponding report to see how much money it will cost to fully restore the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Yan Song showed hesitation after hearing what Jiajing said.

But Jiajing naturally sensed that something was wrong with Yan Song, and asked instead.

"Yan Song, do you have any questions?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the restoration of the palace that I just mentioned includes Xiyuan as well!"

Facing Jiajing's inquiry, Yan Song didn't dare to hide anything, so he responded like this.

Afterwards, Jiajing raised his eyebrows, and immediately confirmed to Yan Song.

"Xiyuan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what I want is to use this opportunity to repair Xiyuan together!"

Seeing this, Yan Song replied in a deep voice.

Jiajing shook his head and rejected Yan Song's proposal.

"No need, Xiyuan, let it keep it as it is now, and repair it when the time is right in the future!"

"If Xiyuan is also repaired together, it will cost at least tens of millions of taels of silver, and there are still many places that need to use silver in the future. It is also good to save some money."

Seeing that the emperor rejected his proposal, Yan Song didn't mention the matter anymore, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Okay, you two get up!"

I saw Jiajing waved his hand quite casually, and ordered so.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other, they slowly got up from the ground.

Afterwards, Xu Jie stood up and asked Jiajing.

"Report to Your Majesty, I would like to implore Your Majesty to deal with those officials of Qin Tianjian!"

Jiajing was quite puzzled by Xu Jie's sudden request to him, so he immediately asked.

"Oh, why is that?"

Xu Jie paused, then responded in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian has an inescapable responsibility for what happened right now!"

"It is precisely because the officials of the Qin Tianjian were lazy and slippery that they failed to accurately predict weather changes, which led to such consequences."

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to deal with these officials of the Qin Tianjian strictly, so as to make a warning to others!"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Yan Song who was beside him also added.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian has an inescapable responsibility for this kind of thing to happen now!"

"It is precisely because of their negligence that the Hall of Mental Cultivation where you live, Your Majesty, was struck by lightning and destroyed!"

After patiently listening to Yan Song and Xu Jie's speeches, Jiajing couldn't help saying to himself.

"These two old things, why are you wearing a pair of pants all of a sudden?"

Immediately, Jiajing suppressed his inner thoughts, waved his hands quite casually, and ordered.

"The weather is unpredictable and beyond the control of ordinary people."

"How about this, fine them for half a month, and reprimand them again!"

After Xu Jie listened to the emperor's order, he seemed rather displeased, and immediately opened his mouth to speak.

"But Your Majesty, this..."

"Forget it, speaking of this matter, we can't completely blame them, it should be a lesson for Qin Tianjian."

"If you dare to make this kind of mistake again next time, follow what Xu Ge said just now, and deal with it strictly and severely!"

Jiajing had a panoramic view of the expression on Xu Jie's face, and immediately gave orders quite casually.

Seeing that the emperor had made a decision, Xu Jie and Yan Song did not dare to raise any objections, so they could only bow their heads and say yes.

"By the way, Yan Song, how is the progress of the design of the flag that I ordered earlier?"

When Yan Song heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and he responded like this.

"Report to Your Majesty, the flag has been redesigned according to your instructions!"

"Well, find a time and ask Yan Shifan to show it to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
