I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Jiajing saw that Zhao Zhenji was timid and afraid to confirm, he shook his head helplessly, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Well, Zhao Zhenji, you heard me right, I just plan to ask you to take Hu Zongxian's position as Governor of Zhejiang Province and Governor of Zhejiang Province!"

Seeing that this matter was personally confirmed by the emperor, the hanging stone in Zhao Zhenji's heart finally fell to the ground.

At this time, Zhao Zhenji had already fallen into a trance state. After all, everything in front of him was so beautiful that he couldn't help suspecting that he was dreaming.

In order to verify the authenticity, Zhao Zhenji made up his mind and pinched the flesh on the back of his hand with extra force. Then, the pain from the back of the hand told him all the time that everything in front of him was all it is true!

Seeing that Zhao Zhenji hadn't responded for a long time, Jiajing couldn't help urging him.

"Zhao Zhenji, I ask you, are you willing to go to Zhejiang to take over Hu Zongxian's position?"

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, kneeled down on the ground quite solemnly, and said in a deep voice after three obeisances.

"My minister is willing to share the worries for His Majesty!"

Seeing that Zhao Zhenji agreed to the job, a gratified expression appeared on Jiajing's face, and he said immediately.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhenji carefully considered the language in his mind, and then mustered up the courage to ask Jiajing.

"May I ask Your Majesty, when will I take office in Zhejiang?"

Jiajing heard the words, and after pondering for a moment, he gave a response.

"There is no need to worry for now. I plan to wait until the time when the mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang are fully mature, and then transfer Hu Zongxian back to the capital to take up the post. At that time, you will officially take up the post!"

"But before that, you have to coordinate the rest of the work in the Inspectorate. There must be no mistakes, understand?"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Zhao Zhenji responded without thinking: "Obey, Your Majesty!"

After that, Zhao Zhenji began to calculate the specific date in his mind: "In a month or two, the mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang will be fully mature, that is to say, there is not much time left for me, I have to Complete the corresponding handover as soon as possible!"

When thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a question that he had ignored earlier also resurfaced in his mind.

"Speaking of which, there are so many available talents in the court at present, and there are countless officials who are good at governing the local area. Why did your majesty let me take over Hu Zongxian's position?"

"This matter involves the appointment of great officials in the borderlands. Logically speaking, shouldn't Yan Ge and Xu Ge be the ones who recommend the corresponding candidates to His Majesty, and the decision can be made after discussion?"

"Whether it's the ability to govern the place or other aspects, I don't seem to be the best candidate, but why did His Majesty choose me? Is there any other reason?"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, and the previous excitement of being appointed as a feudal official quickly dissipated, replaced by endless hesitation.

After fighting between heaven and man in his mind for a long time, Zhao Zhenji finally decided to ask Jiajing about the reason of the matter.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Zhenji finally turned his gaze to Jiajing, and begged tremblingly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a doubt, please answer it for me, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a look of surprise on his face when he heard the words, but soon, Jiajing seemed to think of something suddenly, and he suddenly understood, and said slowly.

"Zhao Zhenji, if you have any questions, just ask them!"

Seeing that Jiajing agreed to his request, Zhao Zhenji finally spoke after sorting out the words in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I feel that I don't seem to be the best candidate, whether it is the ability to govern the local area or other aspects. In this case, why do you want me to go to Zhejiang to take over Hu Zongxian's position?"

Lu Fang, who had been waiting by Jiajing's side all the time, couldn't help but secretly sighed when she heard the words.

"What a keen insight, this Zhao Zhenji actually sensed the crux of the matter so quickly!"

After Jiajing listened to Zhao Zhenji's doubts, the expression on his face did not change much. After looking Zhao Zhenji up and down, he said to himself.

"Zhao Zhenji, you should know that the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang will be fully mature in a month or two at most?"

Seeing Jiajing mentioning this matter again, Zhao Zhenji's face became even more puzzled, and he said to himself, "Why did your majesty mention this matter? The government and the public all know about this matter?"

But soon, Zhao Zhenji grasped the key point keenly: "Yes, that's right, everyone in the government and the public knows that the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang will mature in a month or two!"

"Before this, His Majesty said in person that he wanted to buy raw silk from those sang farmers at a high price. Could it be that this is what he meant?"

Jiajing took a panoramic view of the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face, nodded indiscernibly, and continued immediately.

"Zhao Zhenji, you are right. Not long ago, I got news that someone in the court wanted to take advantage of the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang to buy raw silk at a low price from those mulberry farmers, so as to grab huge sums of money." profit!"

"After much deliberation, I finally decided that you will take over Hu Zongxian's position. After all, you are the most suitable candidate!"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Zhao Zhenji quickly understood Jiajing's intentions.

"It turns out that the reason why Your Majesty asked me to go to Zhejiang to take over Hu Zongxian's position is because I try to remain neutral as much as possible on weekdays and never attach to the strict party or Qingliu, whichever faction is in between!"

"Since Your Majesty has learned that someone in the court wants to take this opportunity to buy raw silk from those sang farmers at a low price, he will definitely take precautions."

"However, it is helpless that most of the officials in the current court are more or less inextricably linked with the Yan Party or Qingliu."

"It is also because of this that His Majesty chose me among so many suitable candidates!"

After thinking about all this, the depression in Zhao Zhenji's heart disappeared, and the look on his face became more relaxed.

Immediately, Zhao Zhenji took a deep breath, and after calming down, he promised Jiajing: "Your Majesty is wise, I already know what to do next!"

Seeing this situation, Jiajing couldn't help flashing a look of relief on his face, waved his hands, and gave orders.

"Well, I am very pleased that you have such a heart!"

"Well, when the time comes, if you encounter any unsolvable problems in Zhejiang, you can directly write to me!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Zhenji seemed to be frightened by something, her breath was suddenly suffocated, and she fell into shock, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

Zhao Zhenji was not the only one who was shocked by this incident, even Lu Fang who was on the side was quite surprised by it.

After all, this is the power to bypass the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, and directly present the memorial to the emperor. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were very few people with this power!
As far as Lu Fang knew, apart from Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun, Zhao Zhenji was the third person who had this power right now.

This shows how much His Majesty attaches importance to this matter!
Immediately, Zhao Zhenji came back to his senses, turned his gaze to Jiajing, and said in a deep voice.

"This minister is determined to be your Majesty's heart, and I will die!"

Jiajing was noncommittal about Zhao Zhenji's promise, and responded in a subtle way, before giving orders.

"I still have things to deal with, you can leave now!"

Seeing that Jiajing issued the order to expel the guests, Zhao Zhenji had no reason to stay in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Zhenji left, Lu Fang who was on the side turned to raise doubts to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, after Zhao Zhenji went to Zhejiang to take office, the position of supervisory censor will be vacant. If the time comes..."

Jiajing heard the words, glanced at Lu Fang, and said unhurriedly.

"Don't worry, I know what Zhao Zhenji has vacated, and I plan to let Tang Shunzhi take over the position that Zhao Zhenji has vacated!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Fang to respond, he continued to add.

"This Tang Shunzhi is honest and self-reliant, defying authority, and is just right for this position. After he finishes compiling the arithmetic textbooks, I will let him prepare in advance, so that he can successfully take over Zhao Zhenji's position!"

"I estimate that the compilation of arithmetic textbooks should only take a few days!"

After listening to Jiajing's impeccable arrangement, Lu Fang suddenly showed a little shame on his face, lowered his head unconsciously, and said.

"It seems that the servant girl is being abrupt. It turns out that His Majesty has already made all the arrangements!"

When Jiajing heard this, he took his eyes away from Lu Fang and spoke instead.

"Lu Fang, it's great that you have this kind of heart. Why do you say it so abruptly?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Zhenji came out of Qianqing Palace, he looked at the distant scenery. At this moment, his whole body was filled with heroic emotions.

The corner of Zhao Zhenji's mouth raised unconsciously when he thought that he would become a veritable frontier official with great power in his hands in a short time.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that I, Zhao Zhenji, would have such a day. In a month or two, I, Zhao Zhenji, will be worthy of the name, the governor of Zhejiang Province and the governor of Zhejiang!"

"Perhaps your Majesty's visit here is to let me accumulate experience in governing the region, so that I can entrust him with important tasks in the future. Given time, maybe I, Zhao Zhenji, will one day join the cabinet!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji's heart was full of fire, and he subconsciously clenched his fists and said to himself silently.

"But before that, I have to show some results to convince His Majesty!"

Zhao Zhenji knew very well in his heart that it was actually very risky to be sent to Zhejiang to take over Hu Zongxian's position.

Because right now, there are already many officials in the DPRK and China who want to take this opportunity to buy raw silk at a low price from the sang farmers in Zhejiang.

And as the newly appointed governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province, if he can't handle this matter well, it will be easy to leave a bad impression on His Majesty of his ineffectiveness.

"Hmph, for the sake of my future, Zhao Zhenji, none of you will think about those mulberry farmers in Zhejiang!"

"Let me, Zhao Zhenji, come and fight with you!"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, his face was full of determination, and immediately walked towards the Inspector's Office with steady steps.

……

Shandong, Jinan Prefecture, Licheng County.

Since Jiajing's order was issued last time, Jinyiwei also quickly dispatched a team of Jinyiwei to Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province to assist Hai Rui in investigating the case.

After several days and nights of traveling, the Jinyiwei team finally met Hai Rui at the Licheng County Government Office.

At this moment, in the hall of the Licheng County Government Office, Guan Rui, who is in charge of leading this team of Jinyiwei hundred households, is kneeling on one knee and reporting the current situation to Hai Rui.

"Lord Du Yushi, His Majesty sent us here this time to assist you in investigating the case!"

Hearing this, Hai Rui quickly got up from his seat, and then came to Guan Rui, and helped him up from the ground himself: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing this situation, Xue Jing, the magistrate of Licheng County, could not help but twitch his eyelids, and said to himself: "It's over, the matter seems to have become a big mess, and even His Majesty personally sent Jin Yiwei to assist Mr. Du Yushi in investigating the case! "

"This time, those families that are attached to the Confucius family in Qufu may suffer disaster!"

Just as Xue Jing was still imagining what would happen to the families attached to the Kong family, Guan Rui, the former Jinyiwei Baihu, solemnly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him. In front of Hai Rui, he said respectfully.

"Lord Du Yushi, here is a letter from His Majesty, entrusted by an official, to send to you!"

Hai Rui's expression didn't change much when he heard Guan Rui's words. After taking the letter from Guan Rui's hand, Hai Rui turned his gaze away and spoke.

"Well, I have received the letter!"

Seeing that the letter was delivered smoothly, Guan Rui couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Hai Rui's concerned voice rang in his ears.

"You all came all the way from the capital, you have worked hard, go down and rest for a while!"

As soon as Hai Rui finished speaking, Xue Jing, the magistrate of Licheng County, also got up from his seat and said respectfully.

"Currently, there are spare rooms in the county government office for rest. Your lord, you should take your brothers and go down to rest for a while!"

Hearing this, Guan Rui couldn't help feeling a little warmth in his heart, he cupped his hands to Hai Rui and Xue Jing who was beside him, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, I will take my brothers down to rest!"

"Ah."

After the words were finished, a few yamen servants stepped forward, leading the way in awe, and took the guards in brocade clothes to the corresponding room to rest.

After Guan Rui from Jin Yiwei's hundred households left, Hai Rui turned his gaze to Xue Jing and asked.

"Master Xue, can you borrow the study?"

As soon as Hai Rui's words fell, Xue Jing who was at the side responded without thinking.

"Your Excellency, please!"

Hai Rui nodded slightly upon hearing this, and immediately walked towards the study room of the Licheng County Government.

Seeing Hai Rui's leaving back, Xue Jing felt even more disturbed: "That's His Majesty's autographed letter. It can be seen how much His Majesty attaches importance to this matter. He sent Jin Yiwei to assist in the investigation, and wrote a handwritten letter." Believe it!"

But immediately afterwards, Xue Jing's face was full of rejoicing, and he said to himself: "Fortunately, I stand firmly on the side of Du Yushi lord!"

"After this matter is over, maybe I can rely on the accumulated credits to rise up one more rank and become a magistrate or something?" (End of this chapter)
