I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 384

When Feng Bao heard this, he didn't pay too much attention to it, he didn't even raise his head, and said perfunctorily.

"Well, I see, you put it there first!"

"But, Eunuch Feng, this... this is what Mr. Ge personally ordered..."

Seeing this situation, the subordinate official had a look of embarrassment on his face, and faltered.

Feng Bao had no choice but to take over from the subordinate staff the memorial that recorded the detailed rules for the integration of officials and gentry.

Seeing that Feng Bao had already taken over the memorial, the subordinate official couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately said respectfully: "Eunuch Feng, I won't bother you, the younger one, so I will leave now."

After the subordinate official finished speaking, he quickly left the Supervisor of Rituals without stopping at all.

Feng Bao looked at the back of the subordinate staff leaving, shook his head imperceptibly, and immediately opened the memorial.

Suddenly, Feng Bao's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was full of horror, as if he saw something incredible.

Feng Bao thought it was his eyes that were dazzled, and then he read the content recorded in the memorandum back and forth several times before confirming that he was not dazzled.

Feng Bao quickly realized that this matter involved a lot and was far beyond his ability to handle. Immediately he got up from his seat, and he was going to take this memorial to meet Jiajing.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Jiajing was playing Go with Lu Fang while chatting gossip.

Just hearing a 'click', Jiajing dropped the black chess in his hand onto the board, and said slowly.

"Lu Fang, guess what, after the Hundred Days Banquet last time, will those officials who don't have eyesight want to get closer to King Yu?"

When Lu Fang heard the words, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, and he faltered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I don't know."

Seeing this situation, Jiajing raised his eyebrows, and immediately ordered.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, I will forgive you for not guilty!"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Lu Fang had no choice but to withdraw her attention from the chess game, and only then cautiously responded after dropping the white chess piece in her hand.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that those officials will definitely approach King Yu secretly."

"No matter how small the probability of being right is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will put all the chips they have on it, even if it means paying a painful price for it!"

When Lu Fang said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add.

"Because, once the bet is right, the return will be dozens or even hundreds of times, and it will even be able to prolong the family!"

Jiajing quite agreed with Lu Fang's statement, nodded and said.

"That's why I want them all to jump out."

"Only when they all jump out, can I deal with them one by one, and cut off all their hands that are stretching out everywhere!"

When Jiajing said these words, his face was quite calm, as if he was talking about a very common thing.

Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, Lu Fang bit her lips tightly and said courageously, "The longevity lock that your Majesty gave away..."

Jiajing heard the words, and responded without thinking: "That, that doesn't count!"

After Lu Fang got this answer from Jiajing, she breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved expression on her face.

Even the chess pieces in his hand were not held firmly and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Fang said with shame on his face.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing didn't care about this, he just waved his hands and ordered.

"That's all, let's move on!"

Just like that, the two sides started fighting again on the chessboard. Just as the fighting was in full swing, the guiding eunuch hurriedly stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, came to Jiajing's side, and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Feng Bao, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, asked to see him. He said he has something important to report to you!"

Naturally, the voice of the leading eunuch could not be concealed from Lu Fang who was at the side. Hearing this, Lu Fang narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but start to think.

"Well, let him in!"

Jiajing nodded, and instructed the guide eunuch.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the guiding eunuch responded, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without looking back.

After leading the eunuch to leave, Jiajing joked with a smile, "Lv Fang, let's see what news your godson Feng Bao can bring me this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fang forced a smile on her face and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a while, I saw Feng Bao stepping into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. As soon as he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', held the memorial high above his head, and said respectfully.

"Report to Your Majesty, here are the detailed rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food formulated by the cabinet!"

"My servant feels that the matter is too serious, and my servant has no inkling, so I can't make a decision. I come to see Your Majesty this time, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Although Feng Bao put his posture very low, he still inevitably received Lu Fang's hostility.

After listening to Feng Bao's words, Jiajing couldn't help being a little surprised: "Hey, Yan Song and the others have formulated the detailed rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food so quickly?"

After Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang on the side took the memorial from Feng Bao's hand, and handed it to Jiajing respectfully.

"Let me see what Yan Song and the others negotiated!"

As Jiajing said so, he took the memorial from Lu Fang's hand and began to read the contents above.

"Well, not bad, they understood what I meant!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he pointed to the first rule written on the memorial: "Officials and landlords must pay taxes!"

After Jiajing finished reading all the contents recorded in the memorial, he handed it over to Lu Fang who was beside him, and ordered: "Lv Fang, take a look, is there anything wrong with it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After finishing the words, I saw Lu Fang respectfully took the memorial from Jiajing, and after he had read through all the above-mentioned regulations, a little worried expression appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth and said.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that if the detailed rules for the integration of officials and gentry are announced like this, it may cause opposition from many ministers and gentry!"

"If there is trouble at that time, the face of the court will be..."

Before Lu Fang finished speaking, Jiajing interrupted impatiently.

"Hmph, I just asked them to bear their due responsibilities. They clamored all day long to share your worries, but when it really came time to share your worries, they all disappeared!"

"The part of the tax they underpaid, in the end, still has to fall on the common people."

"I am the father of hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. How can a father not love his own children?"

"After thinking about it, I'd better suffer these gentry!"

After listening to Jiajing's words, Lu Fang seemed to have a feeling in her heart, and immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Slaves are not burdened by family and relatives, and are willing to serve His Majesty like a dog!"

Jiajing had a panoramic view of the expression on Lu Fang's face. After a moment of silence, he helped Lu Fang up from the ground and gave instructions.

"It's just right, then you watch them for me, if there is any trouble, just report to me directly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Lu Fang heard this, his face immediately turned serious, and he replied in a deep voice.

"Feng Bao, you will go through the procedures of the chief inspector later, and then ask the cabinet to publish the detailed rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food. I want to see what kind of disturbance they can cause!"

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