One night passed in the blink of an eye, and after experiencing the previous incident, the government and the public quickly returned to their usual calm.
Not only did those vocal officials completely cease their activities, but there was also a lot of peace between Yan Dang and Qingliu.
The reason was very simple. The officials who participated in the fight were all released in less than a day after being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. There must have been the emperor's instructions in this process.
In the eyes of these people, what the emperor wants to express is very clear. This matter ends here. If anyone is shameless and dares to use this matter as an excuse, the emperor will take action himself next!
Early morning, Qianqing Palace.
At this moment, Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be closed.
Since Jiajing successfully advanced to the late stage of Qi training, his speed of breathing out spiritual energy has been several times faster than before.
After all the spiritual energy surrounding him was absorbed by Jiajing, Jiajing slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the futon.
"It seems like today is a good day!"
Jiajing looked at the scenery outside and said with emotion.
At this moment, Lu Fang was seen entering Qianqing Palace with silent steps.
After entering the Qianqing Palace, Lu Fang followed the usual practice and came to Jiajing's side and said respectfully.
"His Majesty!"
"Um."
After Jiajing responded casually, he immediately gave instructions to Lu Fang.
"The weather is nice today, come and go for a walk with me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Lu Fang responded, she immediately followed Jiajing step by step, and the two of them left the Qianqing Palace. Behind them, there were also a group of serving eunuchs and maids.
The two masters and servants were wandering along the stone-paved road in the Forbidden City. When the eunuchs and maids on the road saw the emperor traveling, they all put down their work and knelt on the ground in fear.
While walking, Jiajing and Lu Fang followed a path and came to a lake with goldfish. Near the lake, there was a small pavilion, where Jiajing stopped.
Looking at the goldfish swimming leisurely in the lake, Jiajing took the fish food from the hands of the palace maid and began to throw it into the lake.
As the fish food in Jiajing's hand fell into the lake, the originally calm lake surface also became rippled, and the goldfish began to fight wantonly for the fish food.
At this moment, Jiajing's plain voice sounded in Lu Fang's ears: "Lv Fang, did you know that Yan Song came to see me last night!"
When Lu Fang heard what Jiajing said, she suppressed all the shock in her heart, and then tentatively confirmed to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge must have something extremely important to report to you, right?"
When Jiajing heard this, he threw all the remaining fish food into the lake without stopping, causing the goldfish in the lake to fight for it even more crazily.
"Well, that's right. Yan Song told me that he got the news and that there are many people behind the scenes who are plotting against Zhejiang!"
After Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she carefully gave her answer after thinking about it for a long time.
"Could it be that Your Majesty is referring to the conversion of rice to mulberry in Zhejiang?"
"Well, Lu Fang, you guessed it right!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he saw the maid who had been waiting aside for a long time, coming forward with a gold basin. After Jiajing washed his hands, he took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped his hands, pointed to the pavilion on the side, and said commanded.
"Let's go, follow me!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Before that, the eunuchs and maids following Jiajing had already made arrangements.
The stone benches in the pavilion are all covered with soft cushions. A pot of steaming tea is placed on the stone table. Jade-like green teacups are placed tightly around the teapot. In addition, the table There are also several plates of extremely exquisite pastries.
After Jiajing sat down on the stone bench, he turned his eyes to Lu Fang opposite and gave instructions.
"sit!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Lu Fang heard this, she didn't refuse and sat down opposite Jiajing.
Upon seeing this, the maid who had been waiting for them immediately stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them.
Shortly after sitting down, Lu Fang couldn't restrain her curiosity and immediately asked Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, you just said that there are many people in the imperial court interested in Zhejiang. As far as I know, the mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang are about to mature. Is it possible that those people plan to start from here?"
Jiajing nodded after hearing this, and immediately explained to Lu Fang.
"That's right, those people plan to buy raw silk from ordinary people at low prices!"
Although Jiajing's tone was very indifferent, as the person closest to Jiajing, Lu Fang knew very well that the emperor would never let this matter go!
After all, Jiajing had mentioned more than once before that he wanted to purchase raw silk at a high price from the people who planted mulberry seedlings.
But now, those officials actually went against the grain and planned to purchase raw silk from the people at extremely low prices. There was no doubt that this was a slap in the emperor's face. As the person who knew Jiajing best in the entire Ming Dynasty, Lu Fang knew that Jiajing would take over. It's time to take action.
Sure enough, after that, Jiajing turned his eyes to Lu Fang and asked.
"Lu Fang, what do you think of this matter?"
When Lu Fang heard this, she immediately cheered up and replied indignantly.
"Your Majesty, what's the use of keeping these moths alive?"
"I think I should teach them an unforgettable lesson!"
Jiajing seemed quite satisfied with Lu Fang's answer. After nodding slightly to Lu Fang, he added immediately.
"Well, Lu Fang, what you said makes sense. Insects like this must not be tolerated. It's time to teach them an unforgettable lesson!"
"Lu Fang, next you ask Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to dispatch to investigate this matter!"
When Lu Fang heard this, she immediately looked stern and responded respectfully.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
After giving instructions to Lu Fang, Jiajing may have felt a little uneasy, so he added immediately.
"By the way, after finding out the news in this regard, don't act rashly. If you have any news, report it to me immediately!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang suddenly stood up from his seat and responded in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the matter was almost explained, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang and gave instructions.
"Okay, sit down and drink tea with me!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip.
Seeing this, Lu Fang also picked up the tea cup on the table and drank all the tea in the cup. For the next period of time, no one spoke again. Jiajing just silently admired the surrounding scenery.
While Lu Fang was still thinking about where to start the investigation, Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember, looked at Lu Fang and asked.
"By the way, Lu Fang, I heard recently that Xu Jie seemed to have handed over a memorandum, impeaching Qin Tian Jian for not doing things well?"
Lu Fang couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart when she heard this, and said to herself: "Xu Jie's impeachment memorial has just been delivered to the Chief of Ceremonies, where did your majesty get this news?"
After that, Lu Fang suppressed her inner panic and answered as usual.
"Your Majesty, it seems that this is indeed the case."
After getting the exact answer from Lu Fang, Jiajing nodded and gave instructions: "Tell Xu Jie for me that this matter has nothing to do with Qintian Prison!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!" (End of Chapter)
