I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

The development of the matter did not exceed Xu Jie's expectations. As expected, when it was getting dark, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Seeing this, Xu Jie immediately put down the book in his hand, nodded, and said in a deep voice.

"Come in!"

After the words fell, there was only a "squeak", the door of Xu Jie's room was pushed open, and the butler walked in with silent steps, and said in a low voice.

"Master, someone is coming from the palace, and they are waiting in the lobby!"

Xu Jie seemed to have expected this, and because of this, after listening to the steward's report, no surprise appeared on his face, and he turned to speak.

"Well, I see, you go down and do your work first!"

After the housekeeper left, Xu Jie's face was full of excitement, and he clenched his fists and said with emotion.

"Huh~ It seems that all this is worth it!"

After that, I saw Xu Jie walking eagerly towards the hall for receiving guests.

When Xu Jie came to the hall, he saw an old eunuch with gray hair sipping the tea in front of him. Seeing Xu Jie's arrival, the old eunuch got up from his seat calmly and asked him nod.

When Xu Jie saw this, his face was full of respect, and after he bowed his hands to him, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Meet the father-in-law!"

After that, Xu Jie changed the subject and asked, "May I ask you why your father-in-law came here this time?"

Hearing this, the old eunuch nodded slightly to Xu Jie, and immediately spoke.

"Mr. Xu Ge, this time our family is following His Majesty's order, and I invite you to take a walk in the palace!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately turned his gaze to the old eunuch, and said in response.

"Eunuch Lao is here!"

When the old eunuch heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he spoke immediately.

"Where is it, our family is just passing on a message for His Majesty, Mr. Xu Ge, it is not too late, let's go now?"

"Ah."

At this moment, the housekeeper appeared not far from the two of them. Seeing this, Xu Jie quickly gave the housekeeper a wink, and the latter also quickly reacted, and immediately took a step forward, taking a thick stack of silver The ticket was quietly stuffed into the hands of the old eunuch.

After the old eunuch felt the thickness of the stack of banknotes a little, he immediately bent his eyebrows with a smile, turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and said repeatedly.

"Xu Ge is too polite!"

Xu Jie also responded with a smile, and said in harmony: "Where is it, please trouble my father-in-law to make this special trip!"

At this point, the atmosphere between the two parties became extremely harmonious. After the two walked out of the hall, they saw a look of hesitation on Xu Jie's face, and immediately asked the old eunuch.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is your Majesty calling me this time?"

The old eunuch seemed to have guessed what Xu Jie was thinking, and saw a smile on his face, and comforted him.

"Brother Xu Ge, you can rest assured that it is not a big deal for His Majesty to call you here this time!"

After hearing what the old eunuch said, Xu Jie finally felt relieved, bowed his hands to the old eunuch solemnly, and said in a deep voice.

"Eunuch Lao is here!"

"Where is it? It's not too late. Let's set off now, so as not to make His Majesty wait in a hurry!"

After that, Xu Jie boarded the sedan chair and headed towards the Forbidden City together with the old eunuch.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Jie deliberately opened the car curtain and checked the surrounding situation. Seeing that all the Jin Yiwei who had been monitoring him had disappeared, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself.

"Looks like I made the right bet this time!"

……

Xu Jie looked at the Qianqing Palace, which was so close in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Even though he had inquired about this with the old eunuch before this, when he really came outside the Qianqing Palace to wait for Jiajing to summon him, he still felt a little uneasy.

After all, he had just passed the life-and-death hurdle, and Xu Jie was very sure that if he did not stand up for this matter, what awaited him would be an extremely miserable end!

"It seems that all of us are under His Majesty's control!"

Xu Jie withdrew his gaze from Qianqing Palace, and said with emotion.

At this moment, Xu Jie's thoughts were interrupted by a shrill voice: "Xuan, see you Xu Jie!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, with a solemn expression, and stepped up the stairs of Qianqing Palace step by step.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

After Xu Jie entered the Qianqing Palace, he looked at the stalwart figure sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing looked Xu Jie up and down before giving instructions.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's consent, Xu Jie just got up from the ground.

Although Xu Jie concealed it well, Jiajing still heard a little haste and anxiety from his tone.

Not long after Xu Jie got up from the ground, Jiajing's quiet voice from the ancient well rang in his ears.

"Xu Jie, I know all about what happened today. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie's pupils shrank suddenly, and the look of panic flashed across his face, then he bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

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

Jiajing obviously did not expect Xu Jie to speak like this. After being surprised for a moment, he immediately withdrew his gaze and asked with great interest.

"Oh, Mr. Xu Ge, before I asked you, you took the initiative to accuse me of your guilt. Well, let me ask you, what is your crime?"

Facing Jiajing's inquiry, Xu Jie's heart immediately rose to his throat. Immediately, he reacted, put on a heartbroken look, and reported to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, if it hadn't been for the repeated intimidation of the minister, I am afraid that the matter would not have developed to this point!"

When Xu Jie said this, he choked up and continued to add.

"Your Majesty, you must know that the unfortunate official who died today has just started his official career. He should have a bright future, but now...but..."

Xu Jie choked up, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and couldn't speak any more.

From the perspective of those who don't know the inside story, Xu Jie is feeling sorry for the speech officer who died unfortunately, but from Lu Fang's view, this is Xu Jie hinting at His Majesty: "Your Majesty, look, Wei Wei The minister resisted the pressure of those officials!"

Jiajing saw what Xu Jie wanted to express at a glance, and immediately, a little regret appeared on Jiajing's face at the right time.

"Hey, Mr. Xu Ge, in the final analysis, I can't completely blame you for the whole matter. It's because those officials are too impatient!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes lit up, and he responded repeatedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the situation has developed to this point, and everyone does not want to see it!"

After a while, Xu Jie changed the subject and continued to add.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the original intentions of those officials are good. They are all for the sake of my country and country, but they were deceived by traitors and misunderstood your majesty. That's why they acted so irrationally. !"

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty, let me go to investigate this matter thoroughly, and give justice to the innocent victims!"

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Lu Fang, who had been by Jiajing's side from the beginning, was unable to complain.

He lowered his eyes and said to himself silently: "Xu Jie, Xu Jie, you have a thick skin. Not long ago, you used the title of rice worm to insult those officials. Why did you yell at me in the blink of an eye? Do you want to seek justice for the innocent victims?"

"I see, it is false to seek justice, but it is true to seek revenge!"

Seeing that Jiajing hadn't responded for a long time, Xu Jie couldn't help becoming nervous and said to himself.

"It's bad. Could it be that His Majesty is planning to take action to keep these officials?"

Thinking of this, Xu Jie immediately wanted to make amends: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I don't mean that, I just want to..."

Unexpectedly, after Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie rather plainly, he turned to speak.

"Since Xu Ge always has this kind of heart, then I agree, go and find out the person behind the scenes who instigated the Yanguan!"

After Xu Jie listened to Jiajing's order, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his face was full of surprise.

Originally, Xu Jie was already mentally prepared for the emperor to reject him, but who knew that the emperor agreed to his request so easily.

Immediately, Xu Jie came back to his senses, his face was full of excitement, he knelt down on the ground respectfully, and said in a deep voice.

"Obey, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Seeing that the order was almost done, Jiajing waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guests.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should hurry back and rest!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he got up from the ground, and after bowing to Jiajing, he walked out of Qianqing Palace.

However, just a few steps away from Xu Jie, Jiajing's voice without any emotion sounded behind Xu Jie.

"What happened last time, I don't want to have a second time, understand?"

When Xu Jie heard this, panic flashed across his face, and he stopped abruptly, turned around, and said respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Xu Jie left, Lu Fang, who had been waiting by Jiajing's side all the time, couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, turned her gaze to Jiajing, and asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand why you asked Xu Jie to investigate those speech officials. He will definitely take this opportunity to take personal revenge. Just in case..."

After listening to Lu Fang's doubts, Jiajing shook his head imperceptibly, and turned to speak.

"It doesn't matter, I just want Xu Jie to deal with those officials, the crueler the better, anyway, it's not a day or two since those officials have contradicted me!"

"I just want to use Xu Jie's hand to tell them to shut up for me honestly, and I have the final say in this world!"

When Jiajing said this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang and explained.

"Don't worry, Lu Fang, I know what you're worried about, don't forget, he, Xu Jie, is still in my hands, I can deal with him whenever I want!"

"But those speech officials are different. I don't have their handle in my hands, and they are even less likely to be used by me. Hypocrites and real villains, who is better to use?"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Lu Fang suddenly realized: "It turns out that His Majesty wants to use Xu Jie's hand to suppress the influence of officials. Even if Xu Jie provokes public anger, His Majesty can still use the previous Take the handle, take Xu Jie down!"

"At that time, not only will the anger of those people be appeased, but the extremely rich family property of the Xu family will also greatly fill the treasury!"

It can be said that His Majesty has already calculated everything, and when His Majesty no longer needs Xu Jie, that is the date of Xu Jie's death!

Thinking of this, a shuddering expression appeared on Lu Fang's face. He was wondering if he would end up like this one day.

But soon, Lu Fang was relieved, because judging from his years of getting along with Jiajing, Jiajing is a very nostalgic person.

Otherwise, based on the fact that Chen Hong came to inform the Qing Palace last time, he, Lu Fang, would have to resign from the position of eunuch in charge of ceremonies in despair.

After all, the evidence Chen Hong submitted to Jiajing was true, but Jiajing turned a blind eye to it and forcibly kept himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Fang glanced at Jiajing without any trace, and a look of self-blame appeared on her face.

"Lu Fang, Lu Fang, Your Majesty treats you so well, you really are not satisfied!"

……

At night, Yan's study.

Those things that happened during the day, like a movie, kept replaying in Yan Song's mind.

Yan Song never figured out what Xu Jie's motive was for doing this, because provoking a powerful enemy for himself for no reason, no matter how you look at it, it was not something Xu Jie could do!

Without warning, such a guess suddenly appeared in Yan Song's mind.

"Unless Xu Jie has a reason to do this?"

"If this is the case, everything makes sense. Because of this reason, Xu Jie had to confront those officials!"

"And this reason may even be related to Xu Jie's wealth and life, but what exactly is it?"

While Yan Song was thinking hard, Yan Shifan hurried into the study and reported to Yan Song.

"Father, you asked the child to check, and the child has checked everything!"

When Yan Song heard this, eagerness appeared on his face, and he immediately got up from the seat and asked.

"Tell me, what have you found?"

After Yan Shifan took a breath, he reported to Yan Song unhurriedly: "Father, the thing is like this. In the past few days, there have been many unidentified people near Xu Jie's home. Before, those people seemed to have received some order, and they all evacuated!"

After Yan Song listened to Yan Shifan's report, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said to himself.

"So that's the case, hmph, I just said that Xu Jie is so active, so His Majesty is involved in it!"

Yan Shifan was confused by what Yan Song said, scratched his head, and immediately asked.

"Father, what are you talking about? Why can't the child understand a word?" (End of this chapter)
