I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 431 The lead wire is burning

The capital, Xu Jie's mansion.

Recently, Xu Jie has been in a very good mood.

May I ask, is there anything in the world that is more enjoyable than seeing one's deadly enemy deflated?

"Hmph, Yan Song, even if you try your best, you still can't get a grain of grain from Jiangxi!"

"When the time comes, I will become the chief assistant of the cabinet. Apart from liquidating the strict party, the first thing I will do is to abolish the reform you promoted!"

"Changing rice into mulberry will harm the country and the people, and will waste national power. Only by changing rice into cotton can Daming be truly prosperous and strong!"

Xu Jie thought so, and immediately drank the tea in the cup.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps from outside.

Xu Jie put down the teacup in his hand, looked around, and saw the butler entering the hall with steady steps.

The first thing the housekeeper did after entering the hall was to respectfully hand over the letter in Xu Jie's hands.

"Master, this is a letter from Jiangxi!"

Hearing this, Xu Jie took the letter from the butler, and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, I see, you go down!"

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing that the letter had been delivered, the housekeeper didn't stay in the hall for too long, so he turned around and left.

After the housekeeper left, Xu Jie opened the letter and began to browse the contents.

Xu Jie quickly read all the contents of the letter, and immediately put the letter in his hand aside, and said silently to himself.

"Hmph, things did not go beyond my expectations. Before the notification from the Ministry of Household Affairs had officially arrived in Jiangxi, this Cao Shunhe made his own decision and ordered to transfer grain to Zhejiang."

"If my guess is correct, it should be Hu Zongxian who wrote to Cao Shunhe, asking him to transfer grain to Zhejiang."

"After all, Hu Zongxian personally led the army to Jiangxi to suppress the rebellion before, and he has great kindness to Cao Shunhe!"

When Xu Jie thought of this, the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said silently: "Hmph, Cao Shunhe, you dare to get involved in this matter?"

"Since that's the case, let's use you first, and let others see it by the way, so that I, Xu Jie, will get angry!"

……

On the other side, Yan Mansion.

In the study room, Yan Song was wearing reading glasses, concentrating on browsing the books in his hand.

Just when Yan Song was fascinated by watching, there was a knock on the door from outside.

The thoughts in his mind were interrupted, only to see Yan Song frowned unobtrusively, with an unwavering expression on his face, and said slowly: "Come in!"

After Yan Song's voice fell, there was only a "squeak", the door of the study was pushed open, and Yan Shifan walked in with a letter.

Seeing Yan Shifan coming in, Yan Song immediately took off his reading glasses and asked.

"what's up?"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan didn't hesitate too much, and immediately handed over the letter in his hand to Yan Song, and respectfully said: "Father, this is a letter from Hu Zongxian to you!"

Hearing this, Yan Song couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face, took the letter from Yan Shifan's hand, and said.

"Oh, this is Hu Zongxian's letter to me?"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he opened the envelope unhurriedly, put on the reading glasses tremblingly, and browsed the contents word by word.

During the whole process, Yan Shifan stood quietly, not daring to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Yan Song.

After Yan Song took off his reading glasses again and put the letter aside, Yan Shifan took the courage to ask Yan Song, "Father, what did Hu Zongxian write in the letter?"

Facing Yan Shifan's curious eyes, Yan Song chuckled lightly, and explained unhurriedly: "He, Hu Zongxian, wants me to come forward to protect someone this time!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan became more curious about the identity of this person, and immediately asked: "Who?"

Yan Song withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan, and said slowly, "Governor of Jiangxi Cao Shunhe."

……

Forbidden City, Inspectorate.

At this moment, Hai Rui is sitting in front of the case, dealing with the corresponding impeachment memorial.

Not long ago, Hai Rui returned to the capital from Henan. After the work report, Jiajing specially gave Hai Rui a few days off to reunite with his wife.

Not long after Hai Rui returned to his mansion in the capital, Jiajing sent people to send a lot of money, food and meat to Hai Rui's family. Up several grades.

At this moment, Tang Shunzhi is busy sorting out the completed impeachment memorials for Hai Rui.

Looking at the mountains of impeachment memorials in front of him, Tang Shunzhi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

For him, everything in front of him was like a dream.

What Tang Shunzhi didn't expect was that he could return to serve in the imperial court again!
In the 18th year of Jiajing, because Tang Shunzhi was worried about the government, he and the court official Luo Hongxian and Hanlin editor Zhao Shichun, after they published a "Donggong Zhaohe Shu" for Jiajing, they were cut off. Since then, Tang Shunzhi has made up his mind to leave the officialdom. Concentrate on reading.

And not long ago, Tang Shunzhi was not only recruited by the imperial court again, but also assigned by name to serve under the new left deputy capital of the Procuratorate, Hai Rui.

After Tang Shunzhi came to the capital, he naturally learned of the great changes in the emperor. The emperor not only became diligent in political affairs, but also often attended cabinet meetings and court meetings.

More importantly, all the financial deficits that had plagued Ming Dynasty, as well as the problems of the South Wo and the North Tatars, had all been resolved!

Right now, all the Japanese pirates entrenched along the southeast coast have been wiped out, and not long ago, in the battle with the Tatar cavalry, the Ming army won a big victory, and even captured the Tatar Khan alive!
It can be said that at present, the national strength of Ming Dynasty is flourishing under the leadership of Jiajing.

"Your Majesty was able to regain his original intention, it is really my great fortune!"

At this moment, Hai Rui's voice brought Tang Shunzhi back to reality: "How weird!"

Seeing this, Tang Shunzhi immediately stepped forward, looked at the impeachment memorial that Hai Rui put aside, and asked, "My lord, is there any problem with this impeachment memorial?"

Hai Rui shook his head imperceptibly when he heard the words, and immediately explained: "No, there is nothing wrong with this impeachment memorial, it's just that a big official of the frontier is involved in it!"

After Hai Rui's voice fell, Tang Shunzhi's eyes immediately fell on the impeachment letter that had not been completely closed.

Because the distance was too far, Tang Shunzhi could only take a rough look. He vaguely saw the words of Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe on the impeachment memorial.

"Forget it, this should just be a coincidence!"

Hai Rui shook his head, and immediately continued to deal with the impeachment memorial.

But when Hai Rui opened the next impeachment memorial, he suddenly discovered that the person involved in this impeachment memorial was still Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe.

Immediately afterwards, Hai Rui still did not give up on this, and after reading several impeachment memorials, he realized that the impeachment memorials in front of him were all impeached by the same person, that is Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe!
Hai Rui was keenly aware of what was wrong. Logically speaking, as the governor of a province, Cao Shunhe was a veritable official of the frontier, and at the same time he was deeply trusted by the emperor!

But right now, there were so many impeachment memorials suddenly popping up in the Inspector's Court. Hai Rui's sixth sense told him that this matter must not be simple.

Afterwards, Hai Rui took out an impeachment memoir, handed it to Tang Shunzhi, and gave instructions.

"You tell Mr. Zhao about this matter immediately, and also bring this impeachment memorial with you!"

Hearing this, Tang Shunzhi took the impeachment memorial from Hai Rui's hand with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

……

In the room, after Zhao Zhenji finished her daily business, she boredly picked up the newspaper that was lying aside.

In recent days, there has been an upsurge in reading newspapers in the capital, from princes to nobles to traffickers and pawns, all have a strong interest in the newspapers issued by the imperial court.

Zhao Zhenji had long been familiar with the contents of the newspaper. Earlier, after buying the newspaper, he couldn't wait to read the contents of the newspaper carefully from beginning to end.

Because of reading it too many times, Zhao Zhenji has reached the point where he can recite the contents of the newspaper verbatim.

"Sigh, I don't know when the imperial court will be able to issue a new issue of the newspaper!"

"I heard from those people that the newspaper is issued by a newly established yamen called the Information Administration."

"This yamen seems to be in charge of Lu Fanglai himself, and those who are responsible for writing articles under his command are all handpicked from the Imperial Academy."

"Why don't you ask them another day, when will the new issue of the newspaper come out?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji had a look of expectation on his face, and immediately put the newspaper in his hand back to its original position.

Just when Zhao Zhenji was about to take out an idle book from the bookshelf to pass the boring time, there was a knock on the door from outside. Zhao Zhenji frowned slightly when he saw someone disturbing his leisure time, and then said helplessly.

"come in!"

As soon as Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and a guard came in and reported respectfully: "My lord, Hai Rui's subordinate Tang Shunzhi is waiting outside the door, saying that he has something very urgent and wants to Tell you face to face!"

After listening to the guard's report, Zhao Zhenji pondered for a moment, and then ordered.

"Well, let him in!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After that, the guard quickly took the order and left, but Zhao Zhenji fell into deep thought as he watched the guard's leaving back.

In fact, Zhao Zhenji still had a certain impression of Tang Shunzhi. After all, this was a ruthless person who provoked the emperor's anger and was ordered to lose his nationality and return home.

"Since this is the case, why is this Tang Shunzhi being recruited by the imperial court again to serve in the imperial court?"

"Not only that, but the superior also appointed Tang Shunzhi by name to serve under Hai Rui's command. Why is this? Could it be that His Majesty has some arrangements for him?"

Just as Zhao Zhenji was still thinking hard about the reason for this, a voice came from beside his ear, interrupting his thoughts.

"Your Majesty Tang Shunzhi, I have met Your Excellency!"

When Zhao Zhenji heard the words, he immediately came back to his senses, turned his gaze to Tang Shunzhi, and asked.

"Tell me, what is the matter with me?"

"Lord Zhao, today in the Inspector's Court, many memorials to impeach Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe suddenly appeared. My lord, let the subordinate officials inform you of this matter. In addition, here is one of the many impeachment memorials!"

After Tang Shunzhi finished speaking, he immediately handed over the impeachment memorandum that Hai Rui told him to bring to Zhao Zhenji respectfully.

After carefully listening to Tang Shunzhi's narration, Zhao Zhenji couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face, and subconsciously said: "These guys are idle and have nothing to do, why go to impeach Cao Shunhe?"

Zhao Zhenji knew that Cao Shunhe had never been attached to any faction in the court. Moreover, Cao Shunhe had been diligent and diligent since he became the governor of Jiangxi Province, and the people under his rule lived a pretty good life.

In the past, Cao Shunhe and the two most powerful forces in the DPRK, Yan Dang and Qingliu, both adhered to the principle that well water does not interfere with river water. The memorial to impeach him?

With these doubts in mind, Zhao Zhenji opened the impeachment memorial in his hand and browsed the contents above.

The moment he opened the impeachment memorial, Zhao Zhenji immediately understood who was attacking Cao Shunhe, it was the Qingliu faction led by Xu Jie!
"This group of damned guys, if they don't find something for me to do all day long, they will feel uncomfortable all day long!"

After Zhao Zhenji finished cursing this sentence, she immediately turned around and said to Tang Shunzhi, "Go back and tell Hai Rui, and tell me that I already know about this matter!"

When Tang Shunzhi heard the words, his expression immediately turned serious, and he replied respectfully.

"Yes, my lord!"

After Tang Shunzhi left, Zhao Zhenji turned his eyes back to the impeachment memorial in his hand, and said helplessly, "Oh, it seems that I have to go to the cabinet again!"

After the words fell, Zhao Zhenji took the impeachment letter in his hand and rushed to the cabinet without stopping.

……

In the cabinet, several people are dealing with the various departments below. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Jie is in a good mood today from the memorials submitted.

Seeing that Xu Jie put the finished melodies aside, he took the initiative to talk to Yan Song: "Mr. Yan Ge, look, the weather today is really good!"

When Yan Song heard this, he turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and responded with a smile: "Yes, the weather has been pretty good recently. When I rest another day, I, an old bone, have to go out and enjoy the sun!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately comforted him: "Where, Mr. Yan Ge, your body is still strong!"

Yan Song didn't comment on Xu Jie's remarks, but just smiled, and resumed processing the memorial in hand.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door, and a subordinate staff member stepped into the cabinet, lowered his head, and reported respectfully.

"Reporting to the old man, Supervisor Zhao Zhenji, Mr. Zhao, is seeking an audience outside the cabinet!"
