Chapter 245

A few days have passed since Hu Zongxian sent that letter.

In the morning, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After he absorbed all the purple energy lingering around him, he slowly got up from the futon. After this period of practice, he has polished his state to the best, and when he practices next time, it will be a matter of course Advance to the next realm.

Perhaps because he sensed the movement in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after a while, he saw Lu Fang walking up with silent steps, and said respectfully.

"His Majesty, here is the memorial sent to you by Hu Zongxian himself."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she held the memorial high above her head.

"Oh, Hu Zongxian's memorial?"

When Jiajing heard about it, he immediately became interested, and then took the memorial from Lu Fang's hand, and began to browse carefully.

"Report to Your Majesty, my humble minister Hu Zongxian..."

After Jiajing read all the contents of the memorial, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he sneered.

"Hmph, these guys have given me some surprises!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang on the side looked more respectful, and said inwardly: "It seems that the situation in Jiangxi is not very optimistic!"

At the same time, Lu Fang became more and more curious about the contents.

And Jiajing seemed to have seen what Lu Fang was thinking, and handed over the memorial to Lu Fang, saying casually.

"Lu Fang, you should take a look too."

"The slaves obey."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he took the memorial from Jiajing respectfully, and when he saw the content described above, his face suddenly changed, and he knelt down on the ground suddenly, trembling.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty calm down!"

"Your Majesty, do you need servants to send someone to investigate?"

Hearing Lu Fang's words, Jiajing's expression returned to calm, and he said slowly.

"No need for now, if my guess is correct, everyone involved should have been dealt with."

"What's more, there is no proof of death, they can completely push all the blame on the dead Zhao Wenhua!"

"In this way, it will scare the snake away."

Seeing that the emperor had made a decision, Lu Fang immediately nodded and responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys!"

"Okay, get up, it will be a cabinet meeting later, come with me."

"Take this memorandum with you, and hit these guys along the way."

Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang and ordered softly.

……

Compared with the past, today's cabinet has added a somewhat unusual atmosphere.

Everyone was only focused on reviewing the memorials in their hands, and no one spoke except for the necessary eye contact.

The entire cabinet was exceptionally quiet!
But if you observe carefully, you can find that there is a little fear on everyone's face.

His expression was also quite uneasy, as if he was waiting for the final judgment.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment, a thin voice was heard, and everyone quickly put down the things in their hands, knelt down on the ground, and waited for the arrival of the emperor.

After a while, Jiajing's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"My ministers and others meet your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, everyone said in unison.

"Well, get up!"

Jiajing's tone was quite flat, and then he said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, everyone sat down in their seats nervously.

Jiajing coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to him, and then said.

"Before the official start, I have one thing to tell everyone."

"Not long ago, Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe sent a letter of appeal to the imperial court!"

"In the letter, he fully revealed the situation in Jiangxi, as well as the fact that he himself was ostracized 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, taking a panoramic view of the expressions on everyone's faces.

"What? There is such a thing!"

"Your Majesty, in a situation like this, you must be severely punished, and you must not tolerate it!"

After listening to Jiajing's narration, Yan Song stood up abruptly from his chair, and stood up with the posture of a virtuous minister who shared the king's worries, and asked.

After listening to Yan Song's words, Jiajing smiled and continued.

"What Yan Ge said just now is quite to my liking, and that's exactly what I did."

Hearing Jiajing's words, everyone present couldn't hide the horror on their faces.

"When did His Majesty issue the order? Why didn't we get any information beforehand!"

"Could it be that……"

Immediately, a bold guess appeared in everyone's mind. Could it be that the reason why His Majesty sent a large number of Jinyiwei out of Beijing was not to let them go to Zhejiang to assist Zhao Zhenji in investigating the case, but to let them go to Jiangxi to assist?
Thinking of this, everyone present felt a chill coming from the soles of their feet, straight to the top of the sky.

"It's over, will His Majesty find out anything?"

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, Yan Song plucked up his courage and asked Jiajing tremblingly.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, who was sent to Jiangxi to put down the rebellion?"

Jiajing glanced at Yan Song, stroked the dragon head carved on the dragon chair, and responded.

"I asked your student, Hu Zongxian, to lead an army to Jiangxi to suppress the rebellion!"

"Here, here is the memorial written by Hu Zongxian to me, would you like to take a look?"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang who was on the side understood it, and then 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 Jin Yiwei's assistance this time, Your Majesty won't really find out anything, right?"

For a long time, no one dared to take that memorial.

"Aren't you interested in what's inside?"

"I think the content inside is very interesting."

When Jiajing said this, his face was full of sarcasm, and he unconsciously elongated his tone.

"Old Yan Ge, don't you want to see what's written in it?"

Jiajing turned his gaze to Yan Song, raised his eyebrows, and looked interested.

Facing the emperor's gaze, Yan Song finally had no choice but to bite the bullet, slowly got up from the seat, came to the memorial, and opened it.

After Yan Song read all the content recorded in the memorial, he knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', his face full of self-blame.

"Report to Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty!"

"Oh, Mr. Yan Ge, what is your crime?"

Hearing this, Jiajing turned his eyes to Yan Song who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have committed the crime of negligence! I did not expect that this Zhao Wenhua would actually do such a thing that endangers the imperial court under the banner of this official."

"I am ashamed, I knew this Zhao Wenhua was a wolf-hearted, sanctimonious thing! I shouldn't have..."

Yan Song said, perhaps because he was too emotional, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and tears flowed down his face.

Jiajing was noncommittal to Yan Song's words, then turned his attention to the rest of the people and continued.

"What about you, do you have anything to say?"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, the rest of the people knelt down on the ground, looking sad, and said in unison.

"Report to Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty, please punish him!"

Seeing this, Jiajing got up from his seat, clapped his hands, with a smile on his face, and said mockingly.

"Okay...okay, look at all of you."

"You are really my servants!"
