Zhao Zhenji saw the emperor showing some impatience. After calming down, he immediately chose to get down to business.
"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone to you."
"Oh, who is it?"
Although Jiajing was very aware of this, he still acted very interested.
"Your Majesty, the person I want to recommend to your Majesty is the magistrate of Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province, Hai Rui!"
After Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, before Jiajing had any reaction, he added immediately.
"Your Majesty, according to the interviews and surveys conducted by Hu Zongxian, the Governor of Zhejiang Province and the Governor of Zhejiang Province, and the ministers, this Hai Rui is a rare and honest official in our Ming Dynasty!"
"He is an honest and self-sufficient person, not interested in fame and fortune, not to mention being able to..."
Before Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, Jiajing waved his hand and interrupted impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
"If that's the case, then why didn't Hai Rui come with you?"
When Zhao Zhenji heard what Jiajing said, he immediately looked stern and responded cautiously.
"Your Majesty, this Hai Rui has no place to stay in the capital!"
"Before this, Wei Chen has asked him to temporarily move to the vacant mansion owned by Wei Chen."
After hearing Zhao Zhenji's answer, Jiajing said with a faint smile.
"Okay, okay, that's it, let this Hai Rui temporarily serve in your Inspectorate!"
Seeing that his goal was achieved so easily, Zhao Zhenji couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He immediately knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"Wei Chen, thank you Your Majesty for your support!"
Jiajing saw the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face, couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then ordered.
"By the way, I have another official here who will serve in your Inspectorate."
"Your Majesty, please speak out!"
Zhao Zhenji's expression became more and more respectful, and he responded immediately.
"Do you still remember the official who submitted the "East Palace Congratulatory Letter" to me earlier?"
Jiajing turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, raised his eyebrows, and then asked.
"The "East Palace Congratulatory Letter"?"
After hearing what Jiajing said, Zhao Zhenji immediately fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Zhao Zhenji seemed to recall something, with a look of panic on his face, and he mustered up the courage to confirm to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you talking about the official named Tang Shunzhi?"
Seeing that Zhao Zhenji had successfully guessed the exact candidate, Jiajing couldn't help but feel good, nodded and responded.
"Well, that's right, this is Tang Shunzhi. I plan to transfer him back to the capital to serve!"
"General Tang Shun is working in your Inspectorate with Hai Rui. You should know what to do, right?"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he looked away from Zhao Zhenji and pointed out something.
Zhao Zhenji did not immediately answer Jiajing's words, but repeatedly chewed on the meaning contained in Jiajing's words.
"Your Majesty means that I should take good care of these two people, or is it something else?"
"Both of these two people seem to have their names with His Majesty. No matter what, you should be careful!"
"Tang Shunzhi can understand it. Hai Rui is just a small county magistrate, so how could he be on His Majesty's side..."
Soon, Zhao Zhenji suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and responded to Jiajing in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
Seeing that the matter was partially settled, Jiajing was in a good mood. He then picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip and said slowly.
"Previously Mr. Xu Ge proposed to me that after you come back from Zhejiang, we will officially start to organize the officials..."
Time passed like this minute by minute. When Zhao Zhenji came out of the Yangxin Hall, the relieved expression after completing the task was no longer on his face, and was replaced by a solemn face.
There is no other reason. The emperor wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of rectifying the administration of officials to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
By then, the Inspectorate where he is located will, without any surprise, become the center of the whirlpool!
"Oh, things are going to be difficult to handle now. If you are not careful, you may offend Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xu Ge."
I saw Zhao Zhenji sighing helplessly, and then walked out of Yangxin Hall.
…
After they were separated from their immediate boss, Zhao Zhenji, on the dock, Hai Rui and his wife Wang were taken to a relatively secluded mansion in the capital by Zhao Zhenji's subordinates.
The mansion is surrounded by green plants, which are lush and eye-catching. There are also two stone lion statues standing at the door, which are quite majestic.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the mansion was pushed open, and the subordinate Zhao Zhenji had ordered before turned around and said to Hai Rui.
"Sir, this is it."
"Hiss~ Can we really live here?"
Hai Rui's wife, Wang, couldn't help but gasped and hesitated after seeing the decoration of this mansion.
"Yeah, this mansion is really too..."
Before Hai Rui finished speaking, the subordinates Zhao Zhenji had ordered earlier began to carry luggage into the room.
When Hai Rui and his wife Wang saw this and wanted to help, they received this response.
"Sir, you don't have to do it yourself, you can just watch from the side!"
Seeing this, Hai Rui could only stand there angrily, watching these subordinates move all their luggage into the mansion.
These subordinates were very efficient, and soon all the luggage was moved.
"Sir, let's take our leave now!"
After carrying the luggage, these subordinates immediately said goodbye to Hai Rui without stopping at all.
"Well, I'll help you."
Upon seeing this, Hai Rui looked away from these subordinates and said slowly.
"Wherever, this is what we should do!"
In order not to disturb Hai Rui's rest, after exchanging a few words, these subordinates left the mansion where Hai Rui and his wife currently lived, and took the door with them.
It wasn't until all these subordinates left that Hai Rui's wife Wang looked like she had just woken up from a dream.
He turned his gaze to Hai Rui and said in a trembling voice.
"This...is this really a place where we can live?"
"This is the capital city, where every inch of land is valuable!"
Hai Rui, on the other hand, was much calmer about this. He looked away from the decoration in the room and then comforted him.
"It doesn't matter, I'll settle for you now!"
"When my husband settles down, we will move out from here."
After hearing these words, Hai Rui's wife Wang felt relieved. She then turned her eyes to Hai Rui and gave the order.
"Well, let's start cleaning up the room now! I think we will have to live here for a long time."
"OK, all right."
Facing his wife's request, Hai Rui quickly joined the queue to clean up the room.
…
After Zhao Zhenji came out of the Heart Cultivation Hall, he was not in a hurry to go home, but instead went to the Inspectorate!
He wanted to see what the Inspectorate looked like in his absence these days.
The guards on the side saw Zhao Zhenji coming, and when they were about to go in to report, they were stopped by Zhao Zhenji.
Zhao Zhenji made a gesture of silence, then came to the door and listened carefully.
"Sir, how should these impeachment memorials be handled?"
"Old rule, just pile it up to the corner. Let's see tomorrow!"
"But sir, there is almost no room left in this corner."
"If you can't pile it up, why don't you find another place to pile it up? How stupid!"
"Sir, I am worried. If the censor comes back from Zhejiang, what explanation should we give?"
"Don't worry, Master Yushi won't be back for a while. We have plenty of time."
