Since then, a few days have passed, and the craze caused by the book "Science" has intensified in the capital, and some officials have even been deceived.
In the end, it was the emperor himself who stood up to refute the rumors, saying that there was only one copy of the book Science, and that it was in his own hands. Only then did the incident gradually calm down.
However, this also aroused the strong curiosity of the officials in the capital about the book "Science". They were quite curious about the contents and hoped that the emperor could take time to explain it to them.
Not for anything else, just for the knowledge recorded in the book "Science", and by the way, to obtain the title of disciple of the emperor!
After all, this is the true disciple of the Emperor! Although the imperial examination is barely considered, it is far less valuable than this.
And when I brag to my colleagues in the future, I will have more capital. After all, I am a person who has actually listened to the emperor's teachings, and is a true disciple of the emperor!
…
In the early morning, while Jiajing was still studying the formation secret book in his hand, Lu Fang came in with all respects. Seeing that the emperor got up early in the morning to study the book "Science", his face was full of admiration.
"Your Majesty is really hardworking. He gets up early in the morning and studies hard!"
"The good ideas His Majesty came up with earlier were by no means accidental, but the result of accumulation bit by bit."
When Jiajing saw Lu Fang coming, he put down the book in his hand and said doubtfully.
"Lu Fang, you came here so early. Do you have something to report?"
When the emperor asked, Lu Fang bowed slightly and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
"The imperial envoys you sent earlier, Zhao Zhenji and Hu Zongxian, jointly signed a memorial!"
"And he used the channel exclusively for the Imperial Envoy!"
"Right now, the person responsible for delivering the message is waiting outside the palace."
After hearing what Lu Fang said, Jiajing cheered up instantly.
It must be a big deal to have Zhao Zhenji and Hu Zongxian jointly submit a letter!
"Let him come in, there is no need to notify him!"
Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now."
After Lu Fang responded, she hurried out of the Yangxin Hall.
Soon, the person responsible for delivering the message walked into the Yangxin Hall under the leadership of Lu Fang.
As soon as he entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, he knelt on the ground with utmost respect, took out the letter from his arms, and raised it high above his head.
"Your Majesty, here is a secret letter signed by the Imperial Envoy and the Governor of Zhejiang Province and the Governor of Zhejiang Province Hu Zongxian!"
"My lord, I must deliver it to you personally!"
Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang beside him, and the latter quickly understood, took the letter from the person who came from it, and handed it to Jiajing.
Jiajing took the letter and did not open it in a hurry. Looking at the tired look on the face of the visitor, he ordered.
"You go down and rest first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the visitor finished speaking, he left the Yangxin Hall under the leadership of the eunuch.
Jiajing then opened the letter, and the content on it shocked him. He saw that it read.
"Your Majesty, I have just received a letter asking for help from Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi!"
"The big salt merchants in Jiangxi colluded with local officials, causing the ships transporting officials from the imperial court to capsize! Not only that, this group of salt merchants also took the opportunity to hoard and make huge profits."
"In addition, Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe himself has been sidelined, and the local envoys, inspectors, and commanders no longer obey his orders!"
"Cao Shunhe requested in his letter that the imperial court send a large army as soon as possible to suppress this rebel force!"
After Jiajing read all the contents of the letter, his whole body suddenly became gloomy, his expression was calm, and he ordered Lu Fang beside him.
"Call Jin Yiwei Lu Bing to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
Lu Fang could guess from Jiajing's expression that something big must have happened!
Whenever the emperor shows this expression, it means something big has happened! At the same time, many people will die.
Lu Fang then suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart and quickly walked out of the Nourishing Heart Hall.
However, what Lu Fang didn't notice was that at this moment, large dark clouds had gathered in the sky above the Yangxin Palace. Among them were thunderous clouds, lightning and thunder, as if a powerful force was gradually brewing!
Soon, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, arrived at the Yangxin Hall. When he wanted to salute Jiajing, he was stopped by him.
"Read this letter!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he handed the letter in his hand, signed by Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji, to Lu Bing.
After Lu Bing read the contents of the letter, he also looked gloomy and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
Jiajing stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his back, looked at the decorations on the wall, and gave instructions slowly.
"Let the people from Jin Yiwei go to Zhejiang in the name of assisting Zhao Zhenji in investigating the case. At the same time, with my secret order, let Hu Zongxian dispatch an army to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion!"
"Anyone who dares to resist on the way will be killed without mercy!"
"We must involve a lot of people, even if we kill all the officials in Jiangxi, it doesn't matter!"
"Anyway, it's time for the test soon. I'll just add more then."
Jiajing turned around, looked directly into Lu Bing's eyes, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now!"
After Lu Bing listened to Jiajing's instructions, when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Jiajing.
"By the way, I forgot to mention, don't let those salt merchants go, just kill them all. I still hope to put all their property into the national treasury!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
After Lu Bing responded, he left quickly.
After Lu Bing left, Jiajing was the only one left in the huge Yangxin Hall.
Jiajing was seen slowly sitting on the dragon chair, stroking the carved dragon head with his hand, and muttering silently to himself.
"This time, none of you can escape!"
…
After Lu Bing received the order from Jiajing, he quickly put the huge Jinyiwei organization into operation quickly. Various news began to be gradually transmitted, and a large number of Jinyiwei came out!
A large number of Jin Yiwei boarded the boat, passed through the canal, and began to travel towards Zhejiang.
Jin Yiwei's actions naturally aroused the concerns of many officials in the capital.
But later, the official explanation given to them was that Jin Yiwei went to Zhejiang to assist Zhao Zhenji in investigating the case, which gradually dispelled their concerns.
The emperor's secret decree was also sent to Zhejiang via the carrier pigeons tamed by Jin Yiwei over several days.
…
Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.
After Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji sent the letter, they actively mobilized the ordnance, food, salary and other materials needed by the army from surrounding areas.
But now, after close coordination, everything is ready!
Hu Zongxian also mobilized elite soldiers from nearby guard posts and incorporated them into the army rushing to Jiangxi to suppress the rebellion.
Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Hu Zongxian's soldiers drawn from various guards totaled more than 6,000 people.
And these people are all veterans with many battles and rich experience!
Just as Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji were discussing the next response, the guard's report came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, there is a person outside who claims to be the envoy of Jinyiwei Town asking to see you!"
Hearing the guard's words, Zhao Zhenji and Hu Zongxian looked at each other and said to themselves: "Finally here!"
"Let him in quickly!"
Hu Zongxian couldn't restrain his inner eagerness and quickly gave instructions to the guards.
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
After the subordinate responded, he left quickly.
