A few days have passed since Hu Zongxian sent the letter.
Early morning, Yangxin Hall.
After he absorbed all the purple energy lingering around him, he slowly stood up from the futon. After this period of practice, he had polished his condition to the best. The next time he practices, it will be a matter of course. Advance to the next level.
Perhaps he noticed the movement in the Yangxin Hall. After a while, Lu Fang walked up with silent steps and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, here is the memorial sent to you by Hu Zongxian himself."
After Lu Fang finished speaking, she raised the memorial high above her head.
"Oh, Hu Zongxian's memorial?"
When Jiajing heard this, he was immediately interested. He then took the memorial from Lu Fang and began to browse it carefully.
"Your Majesty, your humble minister Hu Zongxian..."
After Jiajing read all the contents of the memorial, his expression suddenly became gloomy and he sneered.
"Humph, these guys gave me some surprises!"
When Lu Fang saw this, her expression became more respectful, and she thought to herself: "It seems that the situation in Jiangxi is not very optimistic!"
At the same time, Lu Fang became increasingly curious about the contents.
Jiajing seemed to have seen what Lu Fang was thinking, so he handed the memorial to Lu Fang and said casually.
"Lu Fang, take a look too."
"Slave, I obey."
After Lu Fang finished speaking, he took the memorial from Jiajing with great respect. When he saw the content described above, his expression suddenly changed, and he knelt down suddenly on the ground, trembling.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, do you need me to send someone to investigate?"
After hearing Lu Fang's words, Jiajing's face calmed down and he said slowly.
"No need for the moment. If my guess is correct, everyone involved should have been dealt with by now."
"What's more, since there is no proof, they can put all the blame on the dead Zhao Wenhua!"
"In this way, it will alert the enemy."
Seeing that the emperor had made a decision, Lu Fang immediately nodded and responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
"Okay, get up. There will be a cabinet meeting later. Come with me."
"Take this memorial with you and give these guys a beating."
Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang and ordered softly.
…
Today's cabinet has a somewhat unusual atmosphere compared to the past.
Everyone was only focusing on reviewing the memorials in their hands, and no one spoke except for necessary eye contact.
The entire cabinet was extremely quiet!
But if you observe carefully, you can find that everyone has a slight look of fear on their faces.
He also looked quite uneasy, as if he was waiting for the final judgment.
"Your Majesty is here!"
At this moment, a high-pitched voice was heard, and everyone quickly put down what they were doing and knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor's arrival.
After a moment, Jiajing's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"I bow to your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, everyone said in unison.
"Well, everyone, get up!"
Jiajing's tone was quite calm, and then he said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, everyone sat down in their seats uneasily.
Jiajing coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to him, and then spoke.
"Before the official start, I have something to tell you."
"Not long ago, Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe sent a letter asking for help to the imperial court!"
"In the letter, he told the entire situation in Jiangxi and the fact that he himself was being ignored by his subordinates, and asked the imperial court to send a large army to quell the rebellion."
After Jiajing finished speaking, he paused for a moment and took in the expressions on everyone's faces.
"What? Such a thing actually happens!"
"Your Majesty, situations like this must be severely punished and must not be tolerated!"
After listening to Jiajing's narration, Yan Song suddenly stood up from his chair, stood up and begged with the posture of a wise minister who was sharing the king's worries.
After listening to Yan Song's words, Jiajing smiled and continued.
"What Mr. Yan Ge said just now is quite to my liking, and that's exactly what I did."
Hearing Jiajing's words, everyone present had a look of horror on their faces.
"When did His Majesty issue the order? Why didn't we get any information beforehand!"
"Could it be that……"
A bold guess immediately appeared in everyone's mind. Could it be that His Majesty sent a large number of Jin Yiwei out of Beijing not to let them go to Zhejiang to assist Zhao Zhenji in investigating the case, but to let them rush to Jiangxi to assist?
Thinking of this, everyone present felt a chill coming over them, from the soles of their feet to the Tianling Cap.
"It's over. Will Your Majesty find out anything?"
While everyone was feeling uneasy, Yan Song summoned up his courage and asked Jiajing tremblingly.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, who was sent to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion?"
Jiajing glanced at Yan Song, rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair, and responded.
"I asked your student, Hu Zongxian, to lead an army and rush to Jiangxi to put down the rebellion!"
"Well, here is the memorial written by Hu Zongxian to me. Do you want to take a look?"
As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang understood it and immediately took out the memorial written by Hu Zongxian to Jiajing and put it on the table.
At this moment, looking at the memorial on the table, everyone present had only one thought in their hearts.
"With the Jinyi Guards assisting you this time, your Majesty will not really find out anything, right?"
For a long time, no one dared to pick up the memorial.
"Aren't you interested in the content inside?"
"I think the content inside is very interesting."
When Jiajing said this, his face was full of ridicule, and his tone of voice was lengthened unconsciously.
"Mr. Yan Ge, don't you want to see what's written in it?"
Jiajing turned his gaze to Yan Song and raised his eyebrows, looking very interested.
Facing the emperor's gaze, Yan Song finally had no choice but to bite the bullet, slowly stood up from his seat, came to the memorial, and opened it.
After Yan Song read all the contents recorded in the memorial, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, his face full of self-blame.
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is guilty!"
"Oh, Mr. Yan Ge, what are you guilty of?"
Hearing this, Jiajing turned his gaze to Yan Song, who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has committed a crime of negligence! Wei Chen did not expect that this Zhao Wenhua would actually do such harm to the imperial court under the banner of Wei Chen."
"Wei Chen is ashamed. I should have known that this Zhao Wenhua was such a vicious and sanctimonious person! Wei Chen should not have..."
Yan Song said, perhaps because he was too excited, his body began to shake uncontrollably, and tears flowed down his face.
Jiajing did not comment on Yan Song's words, then turned his eyes to the remaining people and continued.
"What about you, do you have anything to say?"
As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, the remaining people knelt on the ground, looking sad, and said in unison.
"Your Majesty, I inform you that this humble minister is guilty, and please punish him!"
Upon seeing this, Jiajing stood up from his seat, clapped his hands, and spoke sarcastically with a smile on his face.
"Okay... okay, let's take a look at what you all look like."
"You are really my ministers!"
