I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 386

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she handed in the list in her sleeve respectfully.

Jiajing took the list from Lu Fang's hand, and after going through the names on the list from beginning to end, after a long while, Jiajing's face was stern, and he ordered in a deep voice.

"Continue to keep an eye on them, and let the imperial army get ready!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, the shocked look flashed across his face, and he immediately responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang left from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jiajing slowly got up from the dragon chair, and immediately walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Looking at the increasingly dark sky, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said to himself silently.

"Let me see how many lives you have!"

……

Capital, Li Chunfang's home.

When Li Ding came out of Li Chunfang's house, the previous look of expectation had long since disappeared, replaced by endless frustration.

He didn't expect that Li Chunfang would reject his invitation!
In his opinion, this is an excellent opportunity to become famous among the scholars of Ming Dynasty, and the various benefits it can bring will be immeasurable.

"Hmph, sure enough, the bigger the official is, the less he will have the character of a scholar!"

"Yan Song is, and Xu Jie is also. These two scumbags of scholastics, for the sake of their own glory and wealth, actually helped the emperor and waved the butcher's knife at the gentry and scholars all over the world!"

After Li Ding comforted himself in this way, he left Li Chunfang's house without stopping. Even if Li Chunfang did not sign, he still wanted to let the emperor see his determination.

"Scholars should not be insulted, gentlemen should not be insulted!"

At this moment, Li Chunfang, who had just sent Li Ding away, was still in shock.

As early as when Li Ding came to visit him, he was keenly aware of something wrong. Combined with the current atmosphere in the capital, it was easy to draw a conclusion: "This Li Ding must have a conspiracy!"

Sure enough, the development of the matter did not exceed Li Chunfang's expectations. After a few pleasantries, Li Ding got straight to the point and asked Li Chunfang to sign his name in the memorial to His Majesty.

When Li Chunfang heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she immediately rejected Li Ding's request with righteous words.

Li Ding didn't give up, after that, he tried to persuade Li Chunfang repeatedly for a long time, and listed all kinds of benefits, seeing his firm attitude, he had no choice but to give up.

Just as Li Chunfang was still thinking about the next countermeasures, she saw Li Chunfang's wife stepping into the room.

"Husband, what's the matter, is something wrong?"

Li Chunfang's wife saw that her husband's expression was not right, so she immediately stepped forward and asked.

At this moment, Li Chunfang's whole heart was in a state of confusion. Seeing the worried look on his wife's face, she simply did not hide it and told the whole story.

"Ah, they are obviously trying to force the palace against His Majesty!"

After listening to Li Chunfang's narration, Li Chunfang's wife couldn't help but exclaimed.

His wife's words were like a flash of lightning, splitting all the confusion in Li Chunfang's heart. He quickly came to his senses, looked towards the ground, and murmured.

"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of it?"

"They are clearly forcing the palace against His Majesty!"

"No, I have to meet His Majesty, otherwise, things will be troublesome!"

Thinking of this, after bidding farewell to his wife, Li Chunfang hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare the sedan chair and head towards the Forbidden City.

……

On the other hand, when Li Ding told everyone the news of his setback, not only did everyone's fighting spirit not weaken in the slightest, but it became even higher. Everyone began to criticize these high-ranking officials.

"Hmph, why are these senior officials willing to stand with us for their own glory and wealth? They have been in high positions for a long time, and their spirit as scholars has long been worn out!"

"Even without their support, we can still get things done!"

"Yes, Your Majesty must have been deceived by treacherous ministers. When we meet Your Majesty later, we must make a bitter statement and try to get His Majesty to take it back!"

In this way, we will really become famous among the gentry of Ming Dynasty, and be admired by scholars all over the world! "

"Yes, it is admired by scholars all over the world!"

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene gradually reached a climax, Li Ding withdrew his gaze, then turned aside immediately, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord Zhang, my lord Wang, why don't we take advantage of the present to meet His Majesty!"

"Let His Majesty also see our determination, how about?"

The two officials who were called by Li Ding seemed to have planned this for a long time.

The two hit it off immediately, and Dang even decided to go to the Forbidden City to meet the emperor!

Afterwards, Li Ding waved his hands quite boldly, and ordered in a deep voice.

"set off!"

Soon, this mighty group of people took advantage of the darkness and marched towards the Forbidden City with torches in hand.

But the strange thing is that in this group of people, apart from the officials, there are also some students from the Guozijian and ordinary people who join in the fun.

And those Guozijian students believed from the bottom of their hearts that they were speaking out for scholars all over the world!

In the Yan Mansion at this moment, Yan Shifan, like before, relayed the news he had heard to Yan Song.

"Father, it's not good. Not long ago, Li Ding, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and other officials led people to the direction of the Forbidden City!"

"Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are trying to force the palace against His Majesty!"

"Should we take some measures to stop them?"

After listening to Yan Shifan's narration, Yan Song shook his head imperceptibly, and immediately spoke.

"No, the strategy we should adopt now is to do nothing!"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Yan Shifan's face, Yan Song sighed, and immediately explained.

"Think about it, you can even inquire about the news, your majesty, don't you know?"

"You are rushing up now, who knows what your intentions are?"

"Based on the few of them, they also want to use the method of forcing the palace to make His Majesty take back his order?"

"You know, His Majesty is the one who refuted all the officials and won the title for his biological parents during the ceremony!"

When Yan Song said this, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his face was full of reverence.

"Thank you father for explaining the confusion to the child, the child knows!"

After listening to Yan Song's explanation, Yan Shifan also realized immediately, and said respectfully with a sincerely convinced look.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Lu Fang respectfully waited beside Jiajing, telling him the news from Jin Yiwei.

"Your Majesty, this is all the information I have learned so far. Look, do you want to..."

When Lu Fang said this, the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy, and the meaning in the words was self-evident.

After listening to Lu Fang's narration, Jiajing looked quite calm, waved his hand, and ordered.

"No need, let them come here, I want to see what kind of storm they can cause!"

"If you only have this level, don't be ashamed in front of me!"

When Lu Fang heard the words, his expression immediately turned serious, and he responded respectfully.

"Obey, Your Majesty, this servant will go and implement this matter now!"

Just as Lu Fang was about to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jiajing's voice from the ancient well came from behind.

"Come over with me later to have a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the eunuch who guides him hurriedly enters the Hall of Mental Cultivation, kneels down on the ground, and reports to Jiajing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Chunfang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is seeking an audience outside, saying that he has something important to report!"
