I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 57 Release
After the edict was promulgated, it was sent to the tower of the Forbidden City to be read out with extremely complicated etiquette to show the meaning of the announcement to the world. All over the country, the local officials will then receive and promulgate the imperial edict.

Only after such a rather complicated process can the imperial edict be officially issued. As for whether it is implemented and how well it is implemented, it mainly depends on the initiative of local officials and whether the follow-up supervision work is in place.

However, Jiajing at this time did not have this trouble. As a real emperor with real power, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty dared to challenge his authority. It must be the end of life and death!Therefore, Jiajing's decrees are still smooth, and it has not reached the point where the decrees of later generations do not leave Beijing.

"Your Majesty, here is the account handed over by Jin Yiwei. Please check it with Your Majesty." In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lu Fang walked in quickly, her steps were slow, without making a sound.

After finishing the walk with the emperor, Lu Fang rushed to Jin Yiwei without stopping, and finally got the account book from the other party after repeated urging.

"Well, let's present it!" Jiajing put down the memorial in his hand, and took the account from Lu Fang instead.

When he opened the account book, the number recorded on it made him gasp: "560 taels!"

"Your Majesty, this is only cash. There are still many antique calligraphy and paintings and the acres of the mansion are still being calculated." Lu Fang bowed slightly, and then added.

"In addition, Prince Zhao's Mansion and Prince Gui's Mansion have the most cash, and Prince Hui's Mansion has the largest number of land deeds, as well as the largest number of various antique calligraphy and paintings."

"How many acres?" Jiajing put the account books aside and asked.

"According to the land deeds stored in the mansion, there are about 16 mu." Lu Fang gave the answer after recalling for a while.

"Good job, good job! I want to reward you well, and you can keep some of the leftovers for yourself." Jiajing waved his hand and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, my servant dare not. Being able to do things for His Majesty is already the greatest grace. How dare my servant ask for anything else?" Lu Fang knelt down on the ground in fear when she heard Jiajing's words, and couldn't help but refuse.

"I let you take what I want, so much nonsense, this is what I reward you!" Seeing Lu Fang's attitude, Jiajing showed displeasure.

"Thank you, servant, for your majesty's kindness. I am willing to do my best for your majesty, and I will never hesitate to die!" Seeing that the emperor was a little unhappy, Lu Fang no longer refused, showing excitement, like pounding garlic, and kept kowtow on the ground.

"Okay, get up, go and call Yan Song and Xu Jie over!"

"Yes."

……

After receiving Jiajing's order, Lu Fang rushed to the cabinet without stopping.

Before waiting for the notification, Lu Fang went straight into the cabinet with an unconcealable smile on his face: "Mr. Yan Ge, Mr. Xu Ge, Your Majesty welcomes you!"

"I've seen Eunuch Lu." Seeing Lu Fang coming in, everyone stopped correcting the memorial and saluted Lu Fang.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Song took the lead to ask: "May I ask what your majesty invited the two of us to discuss? I'll wait to make preparations in advance."

Lu Fang looked around and saw that there were no other idlers around, and said in a low voice, "It's okay to tell you, Your Majesty invited you to go, it should be to think about how to spend the money?"

"What!" Xu Jie exclaimed when he heard this.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Households, no one knows better than him what it means to spend money like running water, the daily expenses of the court, the salaries of officials, the salaries of officers and soldiers, pension money, disaster relief funds, and other messy things Expenses, sometimes millions of taels of wasted silver are allocated out before they are warmed up in the treasury.

Usually, the emperor pointed at the Ministry of Households and scolded them. How could so much money be spent so quickly?Now it was the emperor who took the initiative to discuss with him how to spend the money, which made Xu Jie feel unreal.

"What is Mr. Xu Ge still doing in a daze? Let's go!"

"Oh oh oh."

Lu Fang's voice brought Xu Jie back to reality, only to see him nod in a daze, and followed his footsteps.

……

"Your Majesty, the two elders have arrived!" Lu Fang bowed and left after sending the two elders to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Minister Yan Song (Xu Jie) sees Your Majesty!"

"Get up, give me your seat." Jiajing glanced over the two of them with a lazy tone.

"May I ask what your Majesty is looking for to discuss with this minister?"

"Look for yourselves." After Jiajing finished speaking, he handed over the account book Jin Yiwei handed over to the two.

"560 taels!" After seeing the numbers on the account book clearly, the two elders exclaimed, and then looked at Jiajing with incredible eyes.

"Your Majesty, could this be..." After thinking for a moment, Yan Song was the first to react, with a horrified expression.

"That's right, just as Elder Yan Ge thought, the money was confiscated from the homes of those vassal kings." Jiajing took a panoramic view of the expression on Yan Song's face, and said calmly.

"According to the investigation, King Zhao, King Hui, and King Gui intended to conspire against each other! Later, they were discovered by Jin Yiwei because they did not act confidentially. The culprit has been arrested and brought to justice, and his family property has been charged to the state treasury."

"Your Majesty is holy! It's a good thing that Jin Yiwei discovered it early, otherwise, those rebellious officials and thieves would have succeeded, and thus messed up my Daming world!"

After hearing Jiajing's words, Yan Song was the first to react, and then fell to his knees with a 'plop', with an expression of righteous indignation on his face.

"Mr. Yan Ge is so loyal to the country, he really deserves to be my humerus minister! And the trial of these rebellious officials and thieves should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. I believe that the Ministry of Punishment will definitely give them a fair sentence." General Jiajing Yan Song got up from the ground with a faint smile on his face.

"Okay, let's talk about how to spend the 560 taels of silver."

"Yes." Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other and took orders.

……

At night, Yan's study.

"Father, you just said that His Majesty sent Jin Yiwei to search all the three families of King Hui, King Zhao, and King Gui, and charge them with treason."

"Besides that, 560 and [-] taels of silver were confiscated!"

After listening to Yan Song's narration, Yan Shifan couldn't help saying in surprise.

"Yes, and His Majesty asked the Ministry of Punishment to take over the matter." Yan Song drank the tea in the cup and said slowly.

"It's enough to say hello to the Ministry of Punishment when the time comes. Father, why are you so worried?" Yan Shifan looked at the solemn expression on Yan Song's face, and couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"I'm thinking, Your Majesty is really so determined to take a knife against the clan! Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who wanted to do this, but very few of them really dared to take that step. Your Majesty doesn't care what others think of him, let alone The evaluation in the history books in the future, this reminds me of the great ceremony that was triggered when His Majesty first took the throne more than 20 years ago!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he sighed deeply and continued: "It was the same with His Majesty at that time. He was extremely talented and wise. Sometimes I even had the illusion that His Majesty seemed to be getting younger as he lived?"
