I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 267
"By the way, I remember, didn't an official named Tang Shunzhi give me a memorial before?"

Jiajing put down the secret book of formation in his hand, then turned his gaze to Lu Fang who was aside, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, at the beginning, Tang Shunzhi, court official Luo Hongxian, and Hanlin editor Zhao Shi submitted a memorial to you called "Congratulations to the Eastern Palace". Later..."

Seeing Jiajing suddenly mentioning this person, Lu Fang said tremblingly after recalling it for a while.

"I remember he was born in Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, right?"

Jiajing took a panoramic view of the expression on Lu Fang's face, chuckled lightly, and continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Lu Fang was completely confused about Jiajing's performance, and then summoned up her courage and said.

"Your Majesty, do you want to..."

"Well, that's right, I just suddenly remembered this person. This person is full of knowledge, so he can't just be so wasteful!"

"Find a time and let him come back."

After Jiajing finished speaking, he got up from the dragon chair and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys."

Seeing that the emperor had already spoken, Lu Fang quickly said yes.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much, what position do you plan to grant this Tang Shunzhi?"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, her expression became more respectful, waiting for Jiajing's order.

"Well, I have heard about this Tang Shunzhi. He is upright, honest and self-confident, not in the world."

"At that time, let him serve in Zhao Zhenji's Inspectorate!"

"It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to clean up the officials."

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang and ordered so.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will send someone there!"

After Lu Fang responded, she walked away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

Capital, Yan Mansion.

At this moment, Yan Song is wearing presbyopic glasses and dealing with corresponding official duties in the study.

'Boom dong dong'

Just heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Yan Song took off the reading glasses he was wearing, then turned his gaze to where the voice came from, and said.

With a sound of 'squeak', the door of the room was pushed open, and Yan Shifan entered the study with a happy expression on his face.

Then I saw him walking quickly to Yan Song, and said: "Father, what a great event!"

"Oh, what a great deal?"

When Yan Song heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he asked immediately.

"Father, Yan Maoqing, whom you recommended to His Majesty earlier, has received news that he has completed the task of collecting the salt tax!"

"It is said that he collected a total of 500 million taels of salt tax this time."

Seeing that his father Yan Song didn't know about this, Yan Shifan expressed emotion, and immediately explained to him.

"Well, I see."

After Yan Song heard the news from Yan Shifan, he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart, he just nodded and said slowly.

"In this way, Yan Maoqing's fate is saved!"

"If my guess is correct, the future salt tax will also be collected by Yan Maoqing."

After Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, his face was full of fear, and he hesitated.

"Father, what do you mean..."

"Well, that's right, if Yan Maoqing can't collect enough salt tax this time, what awaits him is His Majesty's butcher's knife!"

"At that time, not to mention the confiscation of Yan Maoqing's property, even we will be implicated."

After Yan Song finished speaking, he put on the presbyopic glasses that he took off earlier, and explained to Yan Shifan.

"Father, what do you mean to say, before this, His Majesty has already made two-handed preparations!"

"Once Yan Maoqing can't collect enough salt tax, then all his family property will be confiscated! While filling the treasury, by the way, use Yan Maoqing's head to appease the resentment of the people?"

At this moment, after Yan Song's explanation, Yan Shifan understood everything behind it!
At the same time, his spine was still a little chilly, and his heart was full of fear.

"Now that you know, you should know what to do next, right?"

In Yan Song's cloudy eyes, Yan Shifan's figure was reflected, and then he said slowly.

"Well, father, the child knows what to do!"

After Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's explanation, he suddenly realized, and he also had a plan in his heart for the next action.

"Earlier, Xu Jie proposed to His Majesty that a campaign to rectify the administration of officials will be launched. After Zhao Zhenji returns from Zhejiang, it should be officially implemented."

"Don't forget to remind those guys to wipe their butts clean! Otherwise, their end will be a dead end, understand?"

Just when Yan Shifan was about to step out of the study, Yan Song's instructions came from behind him.

Yan Shifan's leaving footsteps stopped suddenly, then he turned around and said respectfully.

"Yes, father, the child knows."

……

Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian was leading the local officials from Zhejiang to the pier to see off Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy.

Just like when they came, the team that came to see Zhao Zhenji off was quite impressive!There are soldiers responsible for guarding its safety everywhere along the way.

All the officials who were qualified to see him off rushed to the scene, and when Zheng Michang turned his gaze to the figure behind Zhao Zhenji, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Hairui!"

"Shh, be quiet!"

Seeing this, He Maocai quickly lowered his voice and reminded.

"oh oh."

Zheng Michang looked around nervously, and was relieved when he saw that no one was paying attention.

"How could Hai Rui follow behind the imperial envoy? Could it be that he is going to take a boat with the imperial envoy and rush to the capital to take up a post!"

When Zheng Michang said this, his face was full of envy.

"It looks like it probably is, but don't be discouraged."

"Sooner or later you will have this opportunity!"

Seeing this, He Maocai patted Zheng Michang on the shoulder lightly, and comforted him.

"Oh, if only so!"

After Zheng Michang sighed with emotion, he immediately looked away.

Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji walked in the front of the crowd and exchanged greetings from time to time.

"This time His Majesty sent you here to investigate the situation in Zhejiang, and I hope that the Imperial Envoy will be able to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty at that time."

Seeing that Hu Zongxian stopped, turned his eyes away from Zhao Zhenji, and said slowly.

"Don't worry, I will tell His Majesty everything I have seen and heard in Zhejiang!"

Hearing Hu Zongxian's words, Zhao Zhenji's expression froze, and he responded immediately.

"Well, I'm here, thank you, Mr. Imperial Envoy!"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he immediately saluted Zhao Zhenji respectfully.

Many officials behind Hu Zongxian also followed Hu Zongxian and saluted Zhao Zhenji.

On the other hand, Hai Rui felt a little at a loss about what to do.

It stands to reason that Hai Rui hasn't officially reported on his duties yet, and besides, he has been the county magistrate in Zhejiang for so long, so he should follow Hu Zongxian to salute Zhao Zhenji.

However, Zhao Zhenji is Hai Rui's immediate boss!If Hai Rui saluted with Hu Zongxian, wouldn't it make Zhao Zhenji feel offended?

In this way, among all the people who saluted Zhao Zhenji respectfully, Hai Rui seemed rather abrupt.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhenji seemed to see what Hai Rui was thinking, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, I don't value these things."

After hearing Zhao Zhenji's words, Hai Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he looked solemn and respectful to Zhao Zhenji like those colleagues before.
