I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 364 First Arrival in Henan
After that, a statement signed by Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, was quickly spread throughout the capital with the help of people with good intentions.

And at a viral speed, it quickly spread to the surroundings, causing an uproar among the scholars in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Numerous "highly respected" well-educated Confucian scholars quickly jumped out, scrambling to accuse Yan Song and Xu Jie of being scholars. Shilin.

Soon, both Yan Song and Xu Jie were dubbed "Executioners"!

What's more, they want to completely remove Yan Song and Xu Jie from the class of gentry.

However, what these people did not notice was that those who dared to publicly stand up against the integration of government and gentry to pay food have quietly disappeared.

Gradually, the voices of opposition became smaller and smaller. Among the gentry of Ming Dynasty, a group of people who advocated the integration of officials and gentry gradually appeared. the opinion of.

"I think that the integration of government and gentry to pay food is the kindness bestowed upon us by His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's kindness is endless!"

"Say, why do you guys dare to openly oppose the imperial court's policies? Did you take money from Japanese pirates?"

The originally united gentry quickly split because of this, and the two sides came and went, fighting each other, and they could no longer accumulate enough strength to oppose the imperial court's upcoming integration of officials and gentry to pay for food!

……

After five days and five nights of sailing, Hai Rui finally arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan Province and landed smoothly.

The cabin door was pushed open, and Xiao Er, the guard in charge of Hai Rui's safety, walked in and reported to him.

"My lord, we are here!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui nodded, put down the book in his hand, and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, let's go!"

On the pier, Pan Xian, the governor of Henan Province, came to greet him with officials of all sizes from Henan Province. Yang Yinglin, the governor of Henan Province, and Liu Yuan, the procuratorate of Henan Province, were also among the team that came to welcome them.

Liu Yuan looked at Hai Rui who got off the boat, then glanced at Yang Yinglin and Pan Xian who were not far away, and said to himself.

"The imperial envoy appointed by the imperial court is here, just wait for me, you will be in bad luck soon!"

Afterwards, Hai Rui got off the boat under the guard of the guards, and the vicinity of the pier was full of guards.

Pan Xian, the governor of Henan, immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Pan Xian, the governor of Henan, has met the imperial envoy!"

Pan Xian's voice fell, and all the officials behind him saluted.

Hai Rui saw this, with a slight smile on his face, he immediately cupped his hands to Pan Xian, and said.

"My officer, Hai Rui, is the current Inspector General Youqiandu Censor. This time, I was ordered by the imperial court to go to Henan to investigate the case. For the next period of time, please bear with me, Lord Governor!"

Hearing this, Pan Xian stroked his beard, and said with a loud smile: "Where is it, if the imperial envoy is useful in the future to get a place to be an official, even if it is words!"

"My lord, please!"

"Please!"

Immediately afterwards, Hai Rui and Pan Xian walked at the forefront of the team, followed closely by the subordinate staff brought by Hai Rui on his trip, as well as officials of all sizes from Henan Province. emotion.

I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to go to the local area to investigate cases as an imperial envoy. When I was the magistrate of Chun'an County in Zhejiang, I didn't have this kind of treatment!

Afterwards, Pan Xian turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and suggested with a respectful expression on his face.

"Your Imperial Envoy is exhausted all the way, do you need to take a rest first?"

"The lower officials have already prepared a banquet for your lord, to cleanse your lord of the dust!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui shook his head and said slowly.

"My lord Pan, there's no need. I came here with His Majesty's will to investigate the case in Henan, and I dare not relax at all!"

When Hai Rui said this, he paused for a moment and continued to add.

"Let's go to the granary to have a look first!"

Seeing that the imperial envoy Hai Rui had spoken, Pan Xian did not dare to disobey it.

Afterwards, he waved his hand and called Yang Yinglin, the chief envoy of Henan Province, and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Take the imperial envoy to the granary!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After Yang Yinglin responded, without any hesitation, he quickly came to Hai Rui and said respectfully.

"My lord, please follow me!"

"Ah."

Afterwards, Hai Rui got on the sedan chair that had been prepared and marched towards the granary, and on both sides of the sedan chair were followed by heavily armed guards.

And Pan Xian, governor of Henan, just stood there, looking at Hai Rui's leaving back, thinking to himself.

"It seems that this Hai Rui is not an easy character to get along with!"

Afterwards, Pan Xian summoned his cronies, whispered a few words, and let him leave.

And this scene was firmly remembered in Liu Yuan's heart.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the speed of the sedan chair gradually slowed down. When Hai Rui was bored, he heard Yang Yinglin's report from the front.

"Master Imperial Envoy, the granary is in front of you!"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui immediately opened the car curtain, and Xiao Er, the guard in charge of guarding his safety, immediately came up to meet him and said in a low voice.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

After hearing this, Hai Rui looked Xiao Er up and down, and then gave orders.

"You don't need to go in with me later, you take the guards to understand the surrounding situation and see if you can find any clues from it?"

"Yes, my lord!"

After Xiao Er responded, he signaled several guards with his eyes, and quietly left the team with him.

Soon, the sedan chair arrived at the destination, and immediately after, Hai Rui, led by Yang Yinglin, entered the granary!
As soon as everyone stepped into the granary, a melody about the harvest of grains played by suona rang in their ears.

Yang Yinglin, who was leading the way, saw this situation, his face was as black as coal, and the anger in his heart was also rising.

Afterwards, the officials in charge of managing the granary hurried up to greet him, looked at Yang Yinglin eagerly, and did not forget to ask him for credit.

"My lord, how about the song prepared by the lower official?"

"Since I received your order, I have instructed my subordinates to rehearse day and night!"

"Now, it is finally possible to get it."

Just when Yang Yinglin was about to lose control of his anger and was about to explode on the spot, Hai Rui's indifferent voice rang in his ears.

"Well, good, very thoughtful."

Yang Yinglin's expression changed upon hearing this, and he hurriedly came to Hai Rui and flattered him.

"Master Imperial Envoy, as long as you like it, I think..."

Seeing that Yang Yinglin wanted to continue flattering him, Hai Rui waved his hand impatiently and ordered so.

"Okay, don't waste time, let's take the officer in to see the situation first!"

Hearing this, the previous official who was in charge of managing the granary hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully.

"Yes, my lord, please follow me!"

"Ah."

Hai Rui nodded, and then, led by the official, with his hands behind his back, entered the granary very leisurely.

After Hai Rui and the others went in, outside the granary, the people who were in charge of playing the repertoire with the suona were at a loss as to whether they should continue or not.

"Since the imperial envoy likes to listen, let's continue. Maybe the imperial envoy is happy and can reward us with an official position!"

"Well, that makes sense!"

Soon, the suona sound sounded again.
