In Zhao Zhenji's view, Yan Song's move was to collect the list of officials who had written for impeachment on the one hand, and on the other hand to force himself to stand in line. During the whole process, the Procuratorate also played an extremely important role.

After all, those impeachment memorials submitted by the spokesperson must go through the hands of the Procuratorate. Although Yan Song didn't say it clearly, Zhao Zhenji already knew what he should do!

Zhao Zhenji knew very well in his heart that the current development of the matter could no longer be measured simply by the personal grievances between Xu Jie, the cabinet assistant, and those speech officials.

The whole matter has gradually evolved into a rivalry between two political groups. Behind the cabinet, stands the emperor, and behind the group of officials, stands many bureaucrats and gentry who had lost their interests because of the reform!

It was also because of this that after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Zhenji finally decided to stand on the emperor's side with a clear-cut stand.

Because he was not optimistic that the group of officials could force the emperor to withdraw his order. Before that, such things had happened, but they were all suppressed by the emperor with an iron fist.

"Hmph, don't forget, Your Majesty is someone who has experienced great rituals. Would he be frightened by your methods?"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, turned his head and glanced at the cabinet, and immediately quickened his pace.

When Zhao Zhenji returned to the Inspectorate, he ignored the officials who greeted him along the way and went straight to the office of the Inspectorate.

At this moment, the duty room of the Inspectorate was already extremely busy. Seeing the arrival of the immediate boss, Zhao Zhenji, those officials hurriedly stopped what they were doing, got up from their seats in unison, and saluted respectfully.

"I'll wait, I've seen you, my lord!"

"Ah."

After Zhao Zhenji heard the words, after looking around, she responded in a subtle way.

After that, Zhao Zhenji looked away and ordered in a deep voice.

"Put aside all the unfinished affairs you are dealing with, and I have something important to announce!"

Seeing Zhao Zhenji's serious expression, those officials raised their hearts to their throats and looked at Zhao Zhenji anxiously. The entire duty room was extremely quiet.

Facing everyone's uneasy gazes, Zhao Zhenji spoke unhurriedly after clearing his throat.

"Now, the first thing I want you to do is to compile a list of those officials who have been impeached, and then hand it over to me!"

"The second thing is to temporarily suppress the memorials handed over by those officials. Without the order of the officials, no one can make their own opinions. Do you understand?"

When Zhao Zhenji said this, he suddenly raised his tone, which was full of irrefutable meaning.

At this moment, most of the officials in the duty room are confused about the two orders issued by Zhao Zhenji, even if they rack their brains, they can't figure it out.

However, the eyes of some well-informed officials were full of unconcealable horror, because they knew that Zhao Zhenji had personally visited the cabinet not long ago!
"Right now, those speech officials are working on impeaching the cabinet deputy Xu Jie."

"Could it be that something happened during this process?"

Those well-informed officials continued to think along this line of thought. From the whole incident, they smelled a trace of abnormality, a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was overwhelming the building, and it enveloped everyone's hearts, which made people feel quite uncomfortable. repressed.

Immediately, the officials in the duty room came to their senses and said in unison.

"Yes, my lord!"

……

Just as the officials in the Procuratorate were still busy sorting out the list of officials who had been impeached.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Jiajing opened his eyes and slowly got up from the futon, feeling the continuous vitality surging in his body, Jiajing's face was full of joy.

Jiajing conservatively estimated that this successful breakthrough in the late stage of Qi training has extended his lifespan by at least 200 years. Not only that, the meridians and internal organs in the body have become more resilient after being nourished by spiritual energy.

I saw Jiajing's mind moved, and a lavender thunder appeared in Jiajing's hand, making a crackling sound.

Jiajing casually played with the lavender thunderbolt in his hand. Just looking at that thunderbolt from a distance, he could perceive the terrifying fluctuations contained in it. It was a kind of lightning that could destroy everything and should not appear. Power in the world!
This power was what Jiajing had inadvertently comprehended in the process of fighting against the thunder that descended from the sky.

Not only that, Jiajing has reached an unprecedented height in terms of Lei Fa. At this moment, he only needs to move his mind to rain thunder from the sky.

Jiajing has no doubts at all, if there are monsters in this world, all he needs is a thunderbolt to destroy them physically and mentally!
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door, interrupting Jiajing's reverie.

Jiajing's mind moved, the lavender thunderbolt in his hand disappeared instantly, and after a while, the leading eunuch hurried in and reported respectfully.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, Eunuch Lu is seeking an audience outside, saying that he has something important to report!"

After Jiajing listened to the eunuch's report, he couldn't help showing a little surprise on his face, and said in doubt.

"What is Lu Fang looking for at this time? Could it be that something happened?"

After that, Jiajing came back to his senses, waved his hand quite casually, and gave orders.

"Well, I see, let him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's specific instructions, the guiding eunuch did not stay in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately turned and left.

At this moment, looking at the Qianqing Palace which is close in front of her eyes, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Fang's face.

"Things did not exceed my expectations. It seems that the big movement before was caused by His Majesty's cultivation!"

Lu Fang thought so, and then looked away from the big damaged hole at the top of Qianqing Palace.

Since Jiajing used extraordinary means to cure Yan Song's illness last time, Lu Fang believed in Jiajing's success in Taoism.

On weekdays, as long as Jiajing shows signs of this, Lu Fang will find an excuse and leave quietly, leaving enough space for Jiajing.

"Hey, when the time comes, let's go to the Ministry of Industry and renovate the top of the Qianqing Palace!"

At this moment, a voice sounded beside Lu Fang's ear, interrupting his thoughts.

"Eunuch Lu, Your Majesty is asking you to come over there!"

Lu Fang followed the prestige, only to suddenly realize that at some time, the guiding eunuch had quietly come to her.

Immediately, Lu Fang came back to her senses, nodded slightly to the guiding eunuch, and immediately spoke.

"It's work!"

"Where is it, Eunuch Lu should go there quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting!"

After that, Lu Fang suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and stepped up the stairs of Qianqing Palace.

After Lu Fang entered the Qianqing Palace, she knelt down on the ground respectfully according to the usual practice, and said in a deep voice.

"Slaves see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting on the dragon chair, and when he saw Lu Fang coming, he couldn't help showing a little curiosity on his face, and gave instructions.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang got up from the ground, Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang and asked.

"By the way, Lu Fang, you came to see me at this time, do you have anything to report to me?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang quickly took out from her sleeve the impeachment memorial that had been prepared and submitted to the Supervisor of Rituals from the cabinet, and said as if walking on eggshells.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this...here is the document sent by the cabinet to the Chief of Rites, please take a good look at it, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing was quite puzzled by Lu Fang's reaction, and immediately saw that he suppressed the doubts in his heart and gave orders.

"Well, bring it to me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, Lu Fang came to Jiajing with the impeachment memorial. The closer he got to Jiajing, the more frightened Lu Fang became.

Because he felt that there was a palpitating pressure covering him, and even breathing became difficult, and his walking pace became slower and slower.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing had a belated expression on his face, and immediately waved his hand quite casually. In an instant, Lu Fang could only feel that the oppressive feeling that enveloped her before had completely disappeared. He was panting like a man just out of drowning.

After Lu Fang delivered the impeachment memorial in Jiajing's hands, she immediately stepped aside.

Looking at Jiajing's focused expression, Lu Fang's heart was full of reverence: "Could it be that this is the power and power that His Majesty can have after he has successfully cultivated the Tao? It's really terrifying!"

After finishing her emotion, Lu Fang suppressed her chaotic thoughts and anxiously waited for Jiajing's response.

After all, the impeachment memorandum was based on the movement of His Majesty's cultivation, and he wanted to use the solar eclipse as a reason to impeach the cabinet's second assistant Xu Jie while admonishing His Majesty to withdraw his order!

Lu Fang knew that Jiajing would never tolerate this kind of thing happening. Even if he didn't like Xu Jie on weekdays, at this moment, Jiajing, as the emperor, had to stand up and show his attitude and give his subjects strong support.

This is what every qualified emperor should do. If he can't even protect the courtiers who work for him, then in the long run, who would dare to risk his life to do things for His Majesty?
Once the people are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead!
The development of the matter did not exceed Lu Fang's expectations. After Jiajing read the impeachment memorial in his hand, the expression on his face did not change much, he just sneered and said slowly.

"Heh, these officials are quite good at finding reasons. This reason, even in my opinion, is impeccable!"

"Solar eclipses, disasters, interactions between heaven and man, treacherous people, hehe..."

When Lu Fang saw Jiajing like this, he couldn't help but 'thump' in his heart, because according to his understanding of Jiajing, whenever Jiajing showed such an expression, it meant that Jiajing had murderous intentions!
Lv Fang was afraid that Jiajing would order the execution of those speech officials in a fit of rage, so without thinking too much, she knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' and advised Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been no tradition of killing officials. Please think twice. If you want to deal with those officials, there are ways. You don't need to..."

After hearing this, Jiajing looked Lu Fang up and down, and then said calmly.

"Don't worry, Lu Fang, I know what to do!"

Hearing this, Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of shame on his face.

"Your Majesty is wise, it seems that the servants are worrying too much!"

Lu Fang originally thought that Jiajing would criticize her head and face, but Jiajing didn't care about it, she just waved her hand and said slowly.

"Lu Fang, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm very pleased that you can think of me in the first place!"

"Sometimes I will be coerced by emotions and do some irrational things. I hope you will stand up and warn me like today!"

Jiajing's voice was not loud, but to Lu Fang, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Lu Fang's heart hard, which made him feel in a trance.

Jiajing's words made Lu Fang feel that she was valued, and after a while, Lu Fang came back to her senses and responded with great vigor.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this situation, Jiajing nodded slightly, and immediately gave instructions to Lu Fang.

"By the way, Lu Fang, later, you will go to the cabinet in person and give me a word!"

When Lu Fang heard the words, his expression immediately turned serious, and he replied in a deep voice.

"Please also express your majesty!"

Jiajing looked away from Lu Fang and said unhurriedly.

"Tell Yan Song and the others later, there is no need to look forward and backward, what happens, I will take care of it together!"

After Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had received too much impact, which caused Lu Fang's brain to shut down for a moment, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, his face was full of determination , opened the mouth.

"Obey, Your Majesty, this servant is going!"

"Well, it's not too late, let's go!"

After that, Lu Fang did not stay in the Qianqing Palace too much, but rushed to the cabinet without stopping.

After Lu Fang left, Jiajing was the only one left in the huge Qianqing Palace. He was stroking the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, looking at the big hole exposed by the thunder at the top of the Qianqing Palace. , silently said to himself.

"Oh, be reasonable. Is this the place for reasoning? I am the greatest truth in the world. Whoever I say is right is right!"

"Anyone who dares to stop me, I will mercilessly eliminate them!"

After that, Jiajing slowly got up from the dragon chair, called the guiding eunuch, and gave instructions.

"Go and call the officials from the Ministry of Industry to see how much money it will cost to repair the Qianqing Palace?"

"After the accounting is completed, make a report to the household department and ask them to transfer the money!"

Upon hearing this, the guiding eunuch immediately responded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" (End of this chapter)
