I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 433 You are not qualified enough!

After Zhao Zhenji came out of the cabinet, the original respectful expression on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by endless regret.

What Zhao Zhenji didn't expect was that not only did he not throw away this hot potato, but he made the Inspector's Office a battleground for Yan Song and Xu Jie.

"It's really not worth the money!"

"Hey, if I knew this official would not come to the cabinet, it's good now, I didn't get rid of the trouble, and I even got myself into trouble!"

Zhao Zhenji complained while walking in the direction of the Inspectorate.

And on the way back, by coincidence, Zhao Zhenji bumped into Lu Fang head-on.

Before Lu Fang could make any move, Zhao Zhenji took the first step to get out of the way, and immediately stepped aside, saying respectfully.

"I have seen Eunuch Lu!"

Hearing this, Lu Fang narrowed her eyes, and immediately withdrew her gaze from Zhao Zhenji's body, and asked.

"Well, Mr. Zhao just came from the cabinet?"

Seeing Lu Fang asking him about this matter, Zhao Zhenji didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately told the whole story.

"Oh, so that's the case, the impeachment of Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe, our family knows!"

After listening to Zhao Zhenji's narration, Lu Fang was thoughtful, and immediately responded unhurriedly.

"Master Zhao, our family still has some things to deal with, so we won't talk too much."

Seeing that Lu Fang was about to leave, Zhao Zhenji hurriedly called out to stop Lu Fang.

"Eunuch Lu!"

"Well, what happened?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang suddenly stopped in her tracks, then turned around and looked at Zhao Zhenji with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that Lu Fang's eyes fell on her, Zhao Zhenji felt nervous for no reason. Immediately, Zhao Zhenji plucked up her courage and asked Lu Fang.

"Um... Eunuch Lu, I would like to ask, when will the court issue a new issue of the newspaper?"

After Zhao Zhenji's words fell, Lu Fang, who was used to seeing the ugliness of human nature, could not help being stunned for a moment, even though she had experienced strong winds and waves, and then asked.

"Master Zhao, what did you just say?"

Helpless, Zhao Zhenji had no choice but to repeat what she said earlier.

After listening to Zhao Zhenji's question, Lu Fang pondered for a moment, then responded immediately.

"For newspapers, it should be this time!"

After Zhao Zhenji learned the exact news from Lu Fang, the previously depressed mood obviously recovered a lot, and immediately withdrew her gaze from Lu Fang and said respectfully.

"Thank you, Eunuch Lu, for clarifying my confusion!"

"Well, it's okay."

Lu Fang waved her hand, then turned and left.

And just after Lu Fang left, Zhao Zhenji's previous problem resurfaced: "Should we send officials to Jiangxi to investigate as Yan Song and Xu Jie told me just now?"

But soon, this idea was vetoed by Zhao Zhenji himself: "Hmph, if we send officials to Jiangxi to investigate, at that time, no matter whether there is any problem with Cao Shunhe, I will inevitably be hated by the other side!"

Immediately afterwards, an unreasonable solution came to Zhao Zhenji's mind: "Hmph, it's better not to take any action until the situation is completely clear. I must delay it, and it will be fine after this time!"

……

On the other side, after finishing the affairs at hand, Lu Fang walked towards the Qianqing Palace without any hesitation.

In recent days, Jiajing seemed to be tired of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and often lived in the Palace of Qianqing.

Lu Fang felt that if this trend continued, the emperor would move back to the Qianqing Palace sooner or later. For this reason, Lu Fang also specially told the eunuchs to prepare for the relocation.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Lu Fang looked at the empty Qianqing Palace in front of her, and turned to ask the eunuch beside her.

"Returning to Eunuch Lu, His Majesty just left Qianqing Palace not long ago and said he wanted to relax."

After Lu Fang learned the news from the eunuch, she also had a rough guess about the emperor's whereabouts.

After that, Lu Fang didn't stop at all, and immediately hurried to the place she guessed in her heart.

When Lu Fang came to the place she guessed and saw Jiajing's figure from a distance, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and quickened her pace.

At this moment, Jiajing was holding the fish food in his hand, and was feeding the fish leisurely. As Jiajing threw the fish food in his hand into the water, the fish scrambled for a while, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

Jiajing was not at all surprised by Lu Fang's arrival.

Maybe it was bored, but Jiajing threw out all the fish food in his hand, then cleaned his hands in the golden basin beside him, and after receiving the handkerchief from the maid, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang and asked.

"Lu Fang, what do you want from me?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is taking the liberty to disturb you, because I have something to report to you!"

After that, Lu Fang came to Jiajing's side, and told Jiajing without any concealment what she had met Zhao Zhenji on the road and the reasons for what Zhao Zhenji had said.

After listening to Lu Fang's narration, Jiajing also frowned: "These guys are really looking for trouble for nothing!"

"No matter how good he is, Cao Shunhe, he is also a great official appointed by me personally. How could he be falsely accused like this?"

When Jiajing said this, he paused, looked away from Lu Fang, and continued.

"Besides, they can impeach Cao Shunhe today, Hu Zongxian tomorrow, and Tan Lun the day after tomorrow!"

"If this goes on like this, won't all the people who can be used by my Ming Dynasty have to be falsely accused by these rotten scholars?"

Lu Fang immediately understood Jiajing's meaning, and immediately mustered up courage, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang rather plainly, and immediately gave instructions.

"The dog paws of these people are too long, cut them off for me!"

"On weekdays, I pretended not to see that group of rotten scholars picking and slandering each other, but now it's a good thing that they have stretched out their dog's paws on the chief official appointed by me!"

"I have to draw a line for them, who can move and who can't, they have to know it well!"

"Besides, even if there are really problems with the officials appointed by me, they can only be dealt with by me personally. These rotten scholars are not qualified enough!"

After Lu Fang listened to Jiajing's words, the look on his face became gloomy, and he said word by word.

"Obey, Your Majesty, the slaves will definitely teach them a profound lesson!"

Jiajing was very satisfied with Lu Fang's attitude, nodded in a subtle way, and immediately ordered.

"By the way, you can keep part of the properties you got from the raids at that time."

"But...Your Majesty, I feel that I can do things for Your Majesty..."

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she subconsciously wanted to say no, but Jiajing interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"Why are you being polite to me, I let you take it, so you can take it with peace of mind!"

"What's more, can I take back what I said?"

When Lu Fang heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in a deep voice.

"Slaves and maidservants will die when they are born, and weeds when they die. They will definitely go through fire and water for His Majesty, and they will die!"

"Well, get up!"

Seeing this, Jiajing immediately leaned over and helped Lu Fang up from the ground.

……

Jiangxi, Nanchang Prefecture.

Inside the government office, Cao Shunhe looked at the confession in front of him, couldn't help rubbing his temples with his hands, and said helplessly.

"In the end, I still couldn't get any valuable clues from these officers!"

Ever since Cao Shunhe ordered the group of servants to be taken down and waited upon with great punishment.

Soon some people couldn't stand the torture and admitted that "fire dragon burning boat" was an excuse they made up to avoid crimes, but even so, the group of guards still didn't provide any valuable clues.

The murderer who set the fire before seemed to have evaporated without leaving any traces.

Just as Cao Shunhe was still thinking hard about where the murderers might be hiding, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Seeing this situation, Cao Shunhe had no choice but to temporarily stop thinking and give orders.

"Come in!"

After the words fell, a subordinate official came in and reported respectfully.

"Governor, this is a new notice from the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

Cao Shunhe couldn't help being interested after listening to the subordinate staff's report, and immediately gave orders.

"Oh, the household department has issued a new notice, show it to the official!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Afterwards, the subordinate official came to Cao Shunhe respectfully, and handed over the new notice from the household department to Cao Shunhe.

After Cao Shunhe took the envelope from the subordinate staff, he waved his hand and gave instructions.

"Okay, you can go down!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Hearing this, the subordinate staff did not stop at all, and immediately turned around and left the room. When the subordinate staff left, he also closed the door of the room with him.

After the subordinate staff left, Cao Shunhe turned his attention back to the new notice issued by the household department.

"Hmph, let me see if there are any new instructions from the household department!"

Cao Shunhe sneered, and immediately opened the envelope in his hand, and began to browse the contents on it.

The above content is very simple. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, let Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe go to Zhejiang to adjust grain as soon as possible.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

After Cao Shunhe finished speaking, he immediately put the letter in his hand aside, supported his chin with one hand, and continued.

"Not long ago, the Ministry of Households issued an order that the official should not mobilize food in any form. Why did he change his rhetoric in the blink of an eye? Could it be that something happened in the middle?"

After Cao Shunhe poured himself a cup of hot tea, he immediately followed this line of thinking and continued to think.

"Right now, Qingliu definitely doesn't want me to deliver the food to Zhejiang smoothly, and because of this, they will definitely obstruct me in every possible way and try to create trouble for me!"

"And not long ago, those boats docked near the pier and responsible for transporting grain were set on fire, which is a living example!"

"If the Ministry of Household Affairs hadn't issued this latest notice, the official's previous behavior can be defined as disobeying the imperial court's order to adjust food without permission."

"At that time, only a few impeachment memorials are needed to kick me away from the position of governor of Jiangxi!"

Thinking of this, Cao Shunhe picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip, and continued.

"That is to say, someone came forward and forced the household department to change its decision."

"And this person, in the entire Ming Dynasty, there is, and only one, and that is His Majesty the Emperor!"

"In this way, everything makes sense. After learning about this, His Majesty personally came forward and forced the Ministry of Households to change the decision, so that I can logically adjust grain to Zhejiang!"

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door, and a guard hurried into Cao Shunhe's room and reported respectfully.

"Master governor, the soldiers of the guards that you sent out to search along the river have found something!"

Hearing this, Cao Shunhe got up from his seat suddenly, turned his gaze to the person who came, and asked immediately.

"What did you find?"

Seeing Cao Shunhe's eagerness, the guard answered after deliberating his words in his mind.

"My lord governor, it is said that near a narrow river, they encountered several suspicious-looking bandits. After seeing the officers and soldiers, those bandits looked extremely nervous, and fled in a hurry without even taking their bags with them."

When Cao Shunhe heard this, the look on his face became more urgent, and he immediately asked questions.

"Did they catch those gangsters?"

Hearing the words, the guard's face suddenly became ugly, and he hesitated immediately.

"My lord governor, they didn't catch those thieves, but they accidentally found this extremely wrinkled, water-soaked and illegible certificate in their bags."

"Later, after looking for someone from the government to inspect it, I found out that the certificate was issued by the court when it was responsible for escorting the official salt."

"What, the certificate for escorting the official salt!"

After listening to the guard's report, Cao Shunhe couldn't help but "boom" in his mind, and immediately exclaimed.

Cao Shunhe did not forget that not long ago, more than 20 ships responsible for escorting the official salt capsized inexplicably when passing a narrow local river.

The thousands of catties of official salt escorted on the ship, as well as the personnel responsible for escorting the official salt, disappeared!

Although the official salt that disappeared later was found in the warehouses of those salt merchants, the personnel responsible for escorting the official salt have not been heard from until now, as if the world has evaporated!
Although after that, Cao Shunhe sent people to investigate the matter many times, but they all failed.

But right now, beside the nearby river, there was such a coincidence that a certificate for escorting the official salt appeared, which made Cao Shunhe have to suspect that someone deliberately wanted to divert his attention.

Even so, Cao Shunhe still felt lucky in his heart, and he wanted to check down in this direction to see if he could gain something.

Immediately, Cao Shunhe came back to his senses and gave instructions to the guard in front of him.

"Pass on the order of the official to dispatch more guards and soldiers, and the official officials of the government will also be dispatched to search along the place where the bandits were found to see if they can be found!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"
