Forbidden City, Hall of Nourishing Heart.
At this moment, Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be closed, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.
The Spirit Gathering Array covering the entire Heart Cultivation Hall is automatically operating, and all the spiritual energy within a hundred miles radius has been concentrated here!
Jiajing calmed down and held his breath, and began to operate the Yiqi Jue he had practiced. With the help of the technique, the speed of breathing in and out spiritual energy was more than twice as fast as before.
Soon, all the spiritual energy lingering in the Yangxin Hall was absorbed by Jiajing.
Immediately, Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes, and an indescribable pressure emanated from him!
Suddenly, the sky that was so clear before suddenly became gloomy.
And in the sky above the Yangxin Hall, large dark clouds have gathered at some point, with some thunder mixed in. The power of the sky is so unpredictable!
At this moment, Lu Fang was waiting outside the Yangxin Hall with utmost respect. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but murmured.
"Strange, why does the weather in the capital start to change randomly again?"
Soon, a speculation flashed through Lu Fang's mind: "Could it be that His Majesty is communicating with God again?"
Thinking of this, Lu Fang's face became more respectful and she didn't dare to make any more moves.
In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself silently after using his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine the situation inside his body.
"Right now, my physical condition has been completely polished to its peak. I just wait until the next time I practice, and I will be able to directly advance to the next level."
Then, Jiajing suddenly waved his hand, and while removing the magic power, he stood up from the futon.
The spirit gathering array in the Yangxin Hall quickly fell into silence after losing its supply of mana.
The dark clouds that had accumulated in the mid-air quickly dissipated, and the sky was as clear and cloudless as before.
Lu Fang, who had been waiting outside the Yangxin Hall, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the weather had become sunny again, and said to himself.
"It seems that His Majesty has finished communicating with God."
"I can also hand over the letter sent by Tan Lun to Your Majesty!"
Thinking of this, Lu Fang quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, came to the door of Yangxin Hall, and said softly.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
"Well, come in."
From the Yangxin Hall, Jiajing's ancient well-like sound came.
Immediately, Lu Fang looked stern, opened the door and entered the Nourishing Heart Hall.
As soon as Lu Fang entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, she clearly felt that the fatigue on her body immediately dissipated a lot, and her state of mind also became quite peaceful.
Jiajing was currently sitting on the dragon chair, studying the formation secret book with great concentration.
"Your Majesty, here is a letter sent to you by Tan Lun, governor of Fujian!"
Lu Fang just glanced briefly, then hurriedly looked away, then came to Jiajing's side and said respectfully.
"Oh, Tan Lun?"
"Why is he writing to me? Could it be that something happened in Fujian?"
With such doubts, Jiajing took the letter from Lu Fang's hand and opened it.
After Jiajing read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Haha, this Tan Lun is pretty good!"
Seeing this, Lu Fang couldn't restrain her inner curiosity and asked respectfully.
"Your Majesty, is there any progress in Fujian?"
When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's inquiry, he nodded and said slowly.
"Well, that's right. Not long ago, Tan Lun personally led an army to wipe out all the bandits entrenched in Fujian!"
"Not only that, Tan Lun also seized 23.82 million taels of silver!"
"In addition, Tan Lun also found 15,000 acres of land deeds from the homes of wealthy gentry and landlords who had colluded with bandits."
"Tan Lun wrote in his letter to me that he is planning to distribute these 15,000 acres of land to the people who have no land."
When Jiajing said this, he paused for a moment and then continued to add.
"Right now, this money is being transported to the capital via the Grand Canal. Counting the days, it should be within the next few days."
"Your Majesty, this is really gratifying!"
Lu Fang on the side also seemed quite excited after learning the news, and immediately agreed.
Jiajing took in the expression on Lu Fang's face and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the Japanese pirates and banditry along the southeast coast have been eradicated now!"
"In addition, the imperial court has officially lifted the sea ban, and the people's lives should be easier."
Lu Fang on the side saw this and immediately complimented.
"Your Majesty, you are the father of hundreds of millions of people in our Ming Dynasty. Under your wise leadership, the imperial court has eliminated all Japanese pirates along the southeast coast. Not only that, you have also reversed the current situation of empty national treasury."
"Right now, the money in our Ming Dynasty's treasury can last for ten years without charging any taxes!"
"This slave has great admiration for Your Majesty. Please accept your respect from Your Majesty!"
After Lu Fang finished speaking, she knelt on the ground with utmost respect and immediately bowed down.
Jiajing was very pleased with Lu Fang's flattery. A slight smile appeared on his face and he immediately ordered.
"I understand, get up!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After receiving Jiajing's permission, Lu Fang slowly stood up from the ground.
Then, Jiajing picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, then turned to Lu Fang and asked.
"But I heard that there seems to be no peace in the court at the moment, and the trend of impeachment is getting stronger!"
"Lu Fang, do you know what's going on?"
After Lu Fang noticed Jiajing's eyes looking up and down, her body suddenly tensed up. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Fang gave her answer.
"Your Majesty, since the news came out in the palace last time that King Jing was about to go to the fiefdom to join the vassal, this situation has started. It was first caused by..."
When Lu Fang said this, he couldn't help but started to hesitate and talk about him.
Seeing this situation, Jiajing frowned slightly, took over Lu Fang's words, and continued.
"It was Xu Jie and others who took the lead in submitting the impeachment memorial!"
"But Yan Song was unwilling to sit still and wait for death, so he ordered his men to launch a counterattack!"
"Not only that, I also heard that the Supervisory Council is almost full of impeachment memorials."
"Lu Fang, let me ask you, is this happening?"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case!"
Facing Jiajing's inquiry, Lu Fang did not dare to hide anything and responded immediately.
"Your Majesty, now that you know the reason behind this, do you need your servant to come forward and make them both stop?"
Upon seeing this, Lu Fang carefully put forward her suggestions to Jiajing.
"No, it's not necessary. Since they want to fight, then I will let them fight until they have enough, so as to free up more positions."
"The people who know you best in this world, apart from your friends, are your enemies!"
"This saves the effort of investigation. The Inspectorate only needs to verify it!"
Jiajing waved his hand casually and rejected Lu Fang's proposal.
"By the way, tell Zhao Zhenji to pay attention. If there are any memorials to impeach Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun, stop them!"
Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember, turned his eyes to Lu Fang and gave the order.
"As ordered, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring the message to you!"
When Lu Fang heard what Jiajing said, she immediately looked stern and responded like this.
