I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 370 News of the Hundred Day Banquet
With the arrival of the imperial envoy, Hai Rui, the local situation in Henan has become more and more complicated. The whole of Henan is undercurrents, and countless dormant forces want to take advantage of the arrival of the imperial envoy, Hai Rui, to make a difference. some articles.

However, compared with other places in Henan, the capital gradually calmed down, at least on the surface.

After Jiajing used the two big weapons of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, he suppressed all the voices of opposition, and no one dared to openly raise any objections to the integration of government and gentry.

But correspondingly, Yan Song and Xu Jie's reputation has completely fallen to the bottom of the entire scholarly community, and there is no hope of saving it.

However, Yan Song and Xu Jie didn't seem to care about this, and instead accelerated the progress of formulating the policy of integrating officials and gentry.

As time passed day by day, a news quietly spread among the officials in the capital.

After a while, it will be the [-]th day of the birth of the son of King Yu Zhu Zaiyi. At that time, Zhu Zaiyi will hold a [-]-day banquet.

In the capital, most of the officials became ecstatic when they heard the news, and began to study King Yu's preferences, and began to prepare gifts.

In the eyes of these people, since King Jing has already become a vassal, it means that King Yu has taken a big step on the road to becoming the crown prince. Next, if there is no accident, the position of the crown prince will not be King Yu. can't do it.

What's more, there are rumors in the market that His Majesty is very fond of King Yu's son!

And His Majesty's various performances, in a disguised form, confirmed the news that King Yu is the next prince!

If you don't seize the present opportunity and make a good investment, when King Yu inherits the throne, how can you have your own business?

With this idea in mind, most of the officials began to move closer to King Yu overtly and secretly.

However, in the eyes of the very few officials who knew the inside story, King Yu and King Jing had already participated in the competition for the crown prince. What His Majesty really valued was the child in the womb of Imperial Concubine Shen.

And these people, represented by Lu Fang and Yan Song, adopted a strategy of gradually approaching the imperial concubine Shen without arousing the emperor's disgust.

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting on the dragon chair, carefully studying the secret book of formation in his hand.

In recent days, through continuous experiments, Jiajing has been able to barely restore most of the ecstasy formations recorded in the secret book of formations.

"If this continues, the formation will soon be restored!"

Just as Jiajing was thinking about it, he saw Lu Fang stepping silently into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as she entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lu Fang bowed slightly to Jiajing and said respectfully.

"The servant has seen His Majesty!"

Jiajing nodded when he heard the words, and immediately closed the secret book of the formation in his hand, and continued.

"Lu Fang, how is the matter I told you earlier?"

When Lu Fang heard this, she nodded slightly, took out a list from her sleeve, and handed it to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, here are those who raised objections to the integration of officials and gentry. The servants have dealt with them as you ordered!"

Jiajing took the list, and after browsing through it, he put the list aside and asked Lu Fang instead.

"By the way, Lu Fang, how do you deal with the students who took part in this imperial examination?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the servants are questioning one by one, and after confirming that they have no collusion with Xu Zhengping who blatantly opposes the integration of officials and gentry in the payment of food in the test paper, they are all sent back."

After listening to Lu Fang's answer, Jiajing didn't comment, but propped his chin with one hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang secretly observed the expression on Jiajing's face, and was relieved when she saw Jiajing come back to her senses.

After organizing the words in her mind, Lu Fang cautiously gave her own suggestions.

"Your Majesty, this servant has an idea."

Jiajing heard the words, turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and asked with great interest.

"Oh, Lu Fang, what do you think, but it's okay to say."

After Lu Fang considered the sentence again, she opened her mouth to speak.

"Your Majesty, this is what this servant thinks. How about keeping everything simple after the palace examination?"

"In this way, it is also good to show the court's attitude as a punishment!"

When Lu Fang said this, he paused for a moment, and then explained.

"Such an unhealthy trend must not grow and must end!"

"Your servant is doing this to let those people understand that if you want to do this, you must first weigh whether you are worthy enough and whether you can withstand the anger of the students who took the exam with you."

After Lu Fang finished telling her thoughts, she turned her gaze to Jiajing and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Jiajing seemed to be uninterested in this, he waved his hand quite casually, and ordered.

"Since that's the case, you can figure out how to handle this matter!"

When Lu Fang heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and he responded respectfully.

"Of order, Your Majesty, this servant will definitely handle this matter properly."

Just when Jiajing thought the matter was over and was about to pick up the secret book of formation again, Lu Fang's voice sounded again.

"His Majesty!"

Jiajing heard the words, and immediately turned his gaze to Lu Fang aside. Compared with before, Lu Fang at this moment has a look of hesitation on his face. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind before opening his mouth.

"Your Majesty, in a while, the son of His Royal Highness King Yu will be a hundred days old. Look..."

When Jiajing heard this, he looked away from Lu Fang, thought for a moment, and then gave instructions.

"How about this, you let the wind go, just say that I will go when the time comes!"

"I don't want what happened last time to happen again, Lu Fang, do you understand?"

Naturally, Lu Fang knew what Jiajing was referring to. When King Yu's son was born last time, King Yu specially hosted a banquet for many ministers. Who knew those ministers, seeing that the emperor did not reveal any rumors, chose to delay .

It wasn't until the emperor released the news that he was going to attend the banquet that those ministers felt relieved and rushed to congratulate Prince Yu's mansion.

"It seems that His Majesty still cares about King Yu!"

Lu Fang suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and immediately said respectfully.

"Follow Your Majesty, this servant will definitely settle this matter!"

When Jiajing heard this, he looked at the ground casually, and immediately issued an order to evict the guests.

"Okay, I still have things to deal with next, Lu Fang, you go out first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without stopping.

……

In the cabinet, several people are meticulously handling the corresponding memorials.

I saw that Yan Song put the finished melody aside, and took the lead in starting the topic.

"In a while, it will be the [-]-day banquet for King Yu's son. How do you guys plan?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie put the brush in his hand aside, picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip, and responded.

"No matter what our plan is, in the final analysis, we still have to see what His Majesty wants!"

After Xu Jie's words fell, Zhang Juzheng who was on the side also stopped reviewing the memorabilia, and then responded with words.

"Yes, it still depends on His Majesty's intention!"
