I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 541 Mobilize the Army and Deploy the Whole Army

While Tan Lun's letters were being delivered to the cabinet non-stop, Hai Rui had already received a letter from Jiajing.

At this moment, in Shandong, Jinan Prefecture, inside the inn where Hai Rui is staying.

In the room, Guan Rui, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, bent down and handed the letter in his hand to Hai Rui respectfully.

"Sir, here is the personal letter sent to you by His Majesty through the Jin Yiwei side!"

After listening to Guan Rui's report, Hai Rui's face was full of unconcealable joy, he got up from his seat abruptly, and immediately took the envelope from Guan Rui's hand with great excitement, saying in a low voice.

"Haha, okay, His Majesty's letter has finally arrived!"

Seeing Hai Rui take the envelope from his hand, Guan Rui couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, he looked away from Hai Rui and spoke at the right time.

"In that case, my lord, should I wait outside first?"

"Well, sorry to trouble you!"

Hai Rui heard the words, glanced at Guan Rui, and immediately gave instructions.

After Hai Rui's words fell, Guan Rui did not stay in the room for a moment, but gave Hai Rui his hands, then turned and left.

Not only that, when Guan Rui left, he also closed the door to the room.

After Guan Rui left the room, Hai Rui looked back, quickly opened the envelope in his hand, and began to browse the contents.

The above content is very small, only two short sentences.

"I already know what Aiqing said in the letter, and all the families involved in it will be dealt with!"

"Also, when the time comes, send a message to Yan Shenggong for me. If he still wants to live, he will come to the capital obediently for me!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Hai Rui couldn't help but gasp, because this autographed letter sent by the emperor meant that all his next actions would be endorsed by the emperor!

Immediately, Hai Rui carefully put away the letter in his hand, his eyes were full of determination, he clenched his fists and said silently to himself.

"You damned insects riding on the heads of the common people to do their best, Hai Rui is waiting for you. It will be your time of death soon!"

"Hmph, Duke Yansheng, I want to see how you explain to His Majesty this time!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he opened the door to the room and walked out.

Outside the door, Hai Rui's personal bodyguard, Xiao Er, and Guan Rui, a hundred households of Jin Yiwei, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Hai Rui coming out of the room, the two of them turned their gazes to Hai Rui, looking hesitant to speak.

Hai Rui seemed to have guessed what the two of them were thinking, raised his hand, pressed it down, and then ordered in a deep voice.

"Both of you, immediately bring your bodyguards and go to the government office with me. I want to discuss the next action with Cao Feng, governor of Shandong, and Zhang Yuan, commander of the capital!"

After the two listened to Hai Rui's order, they knew that His Majesty must have given the order to act!

Afterwards, the two looked at each other, then turned their gazes to Hai Rui in unison, and replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

After that, Hai Rui and his party marched in the direction of the government office in the city.

……

In the government office, Cao Feng was quite excited after receiving the report from his staff. After all, Hai Rui came to the government office with such a big fanfare, it must be that things have progressed.

Immediately, he turned around and gave orders to the staff beside him in a deep voice.

"Now send someone to invite the commander of the capital, Zhang Yuan, to the government office, and try not to let anyone know about it."

"In addition, shut up those who used to do dirty work for us, we must not be implicated by those families that are about to fall!"

"There was no way before, but now, it's time to get rid of the relationship!"

After hearing Cao Feng's words, the staff beside Cao Feng immediately bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord, I know what to do!"

Just when the staff was about to leave, Cao Feng might feel a little uneasy, so he called the staff to stop, and then added something.

"Yun Bai, it's all up to this time whether something goes wrong in this matter, whether we can take the blame and meritorious deeds in front of His Majesty!"

"You have been with me for so many years and have made countless contributions. After this matter is over, if you want to be an official, I have a way here too. It depends on whether you are willing or not!"

After the staff member heard Cao Feng's words, a look of gratitude appeared on his face, and he respectfully responded.

"My lord, if it wasn't for your help back then, I'm afraid our family would have died a long time ago. From then on, I swear that I must repay your kindness!"

When Cao Feng heard this, he seemed to be lost in memory. After a long time, he came back to his senses, waved his hand, and ordered quite casually.

"These two things don't conflict, what's more, your talent and learning are not inferior to anyone else."

"After this matter is over, you can resign from your position as an aide and prepare for the next imperial examination with peace of mind. I will figure out the rest!"

Hearing the words, the staff member's face was full of gratitude, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord, the little one will definitely handle this matter well!"

After the staff took the order to leave, I saw Cao Feng slowly got up from the seat, and came into the hall under the guidance of the guards.

……

As soon as Cao Feng came to the hall, he immediately shifted his gaze to Hai Rui, and asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty's sudden visit, is there any news from His Majesty?"

Hai Rui heard Cao Feng's words, put down the tea cup in his hand unhurriedly, nodded, and responded.

"Well, that's right, not long ago, His Majesty sent someone to send a personal letter."

"The content is that all the families involved in it will be investigated together!"

When Cao Feng heard Hai Rui's words, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Ying He.

"Your Majesty is wise, these insects riding on the common people to do their best have already reached the point where they should be eradicated!"

"When those families are completely eradicated, the common people will be able to live a good life. It's really satisfying!"

When Cao Feng said this, his expression became extremely serious. He stood up from his seat and bowed to Hai Rui solemnly.

"Lord Du Yushi, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people in Shandong. If it weren't for you, the people here would have suffered so much!"

"As the governor of Shandong, and as the parent officer of the people in this place, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities. I am really ashamed of your Majesty!"

After Cao Feng finished speaking, he bowed to the ground with shame on his face.

Seeing this situation, Hai Rui quickly got up from his seat, and after helping Cao Feng up, he immediately comforted him.

"Where, Mr. Cao is serious. This trip is just following His Majesty's order!"

"As the parent official of Shandong Province, I hope that you will treat the people under your rule well in the future!"

After Cao Feng was lifted up from the ground by Hai Rui, his face was full of respect, and he immediately responded.

"That's natural. Please rest assured, my lord. From now on, I will do my best to let the people here live a good life!"

At this moment, Cao Feng turned his gaze to Hai Rui, with a look of curiosity on his face, and immediately asked.

"Then, did His Majesty say in the letter how to deal with Duke Yan?"

When Hai Rui heard this, he glanced at Cao Feng rather calmly, and responded.

"Naturally, what His Majesty means is that Duke Yansheng should not act rashly for the time being. At that time, he will make a decision after Duke Yansheng goes to the capital to meet His Majesty!"

"Phew, it's okay. In this way, as long as His Majesty does not expressly say that he wants to punish Yan Shenggong, there is still room for detours. At that time, the big thing will be turned into a small one, and this matter will be over!"

Thinking of this, Cao Feng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

In his opinion, if His Majesty really insists on bringing this matter to the table, it will definitely end badly!
After all, no matter what, Kong Shangxian, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, is also a descendant of Kong Sheng, and has a pivotal position in the hearts of scholars all over the world!
Although in Cao Feng's view, Kong Shangxian's virtues cannot match Yan Shenggong's name, the various behaviors of Kong Shangxian that his subordinates reported to him made him dumbfounded.

But there is no way, who told people to reincarnate?Moreover, he still voted for the Yanshenggong family that lasted for thousands of years and had a long history of blessings!
……

After that, the two sides exchanged a few words. Soon after, Zhang Yuan, the commander of the capital, hurried into the hall under the guidance of the guards.

As soon as he entered the hall, he glanced at Hai Rui and Cao Feng respectively, his face was full of apology, he cupped his hands, and immediately opened his mouth to speak.

"Because of the sudden incident, before coming here, I still have some important matters that I have not dealt with, so I have delayed the time. I hope your lord will forgive me!"

After Zhang Yuan's words fell, Hai Rui on the side didn't care about it, he just waved his hand quite casually, pointed to the vacant seat beside him, and gave instructions.

"It's okay, sit down!"

"Thank you sir!"

Immediately, Zhang Yuan sat down on the empty seat that Hai Rui pointed out. After that, Zhang Yuan subconsciously turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and asked involuntarily.

"Your Majesty is in such a hurry to find an official here this time, could it be that His Majesty has issued a new order?"

Hearing this, Hai Rui glanced at Zhang Yuan, nodded imperceptibly, and answered his words.

"Well, that's right, not long ago, His Majesty sent someone to send a personal letter, which said that all the families involved in it will be investigated together!"

"It's just that Yan Shenggong still has to think long-term. Everything has to wait until Yan Shenggong goes to the capital to meet His Majesty before making a decision!"

After listening to Hai Rui's explanation, Zhang Yuan was quite convinced of it. In his opinion, this would not only wipe out all the families that had colluded with the White Lotus Sect, but at the same time preserve Yan Shenggong's dignity as much as possible. , can be said to be a best-of-both-worlds approach.

Immediately, Zhang Yuan came back to his senses, turned his gaze to Hai Rui who was aside, and asked in a deep voice with a look of determination on his face.

"In that case, my lord, give an order, and I will go back and gather the soldiers in the guard!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui nodded, and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, Mr. Zhang, without further ado, go back and mobilize the army immediately, and prepare to take action against the remaining families on the list!"

When Hai Rui said this, he turned his eyes to Cao Feng who was sitting at the head, and then added.

"Master Cao, please help me further, and don't let the news leak out!"

When Cao Feng, who was sitting at the top, heard the words, his expression froze immediately, and he suddenly got up from his seat, and replied in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do my best!"

After Cao Feng finished speaking, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and asked cautiously.

"My... my lord, do you need an official sent by the lower officials to assist?"

After Cao Feng's voice fell, Hai Rui gave a response after thinking about it for a long time.

"I appreciate Master Cao's good intentions, but you said before that before this, the government sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect several times, but they all failed because of leaks!"

"Although so far, through investigations, more than a dozen suspected officials have been found in the government, but because this matter is of great importance, this official dare not take it lightly, so I hope Master Cao understands!"

When Cao Feng heard this, the sad look on his face flashed, but he quickly settled down, turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and said respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, the lower official can understand the good intentions of the adults, the matter is of great importance, and it is normal to be careful!"

Hai Rui took a panoramic view of the expression on Cao Feng's face, nodded, and immediately spoke.

"Lord Cao, please rest assured, after this matter is over, I will truthfully report your contribution to His Majesty!"

After receiving Hai Rui's assurance, Cao Feng's shocked expression flashed across his face. Immediately after, Cao Feng came to his senses, bowed to the ground, and replied in a deep voice.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Censor!"

"Where Cao is useful in the future, just say something, my lord!"

Hai Rui didn't comment on Cao Feng's words, but nodded in a subtle way, and gave instructions.

"In this case, let's do this first, everyone go down and prepare!"

"Yes, my lord!"

……

The commander of the capital, Zhang Yuan, rushed back to the guard post without stopping after leaving the government office, and ordered all the soldiers in the guard post to be summoned.

As the assembly horn sounded, the soldiers in the barracks, whether they were still practicing or patrolling, stopped what they were doing and gathered towards the school grounds as quickly as possible.

On the school field, Zhang Yuan looked at the neatly lined up guard soldiers with solemn expressions, after clearing his throat, he said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, the reason why I summoned you is because there is one thing that needs you to do!"

"Not long ago, I received an order from Mr. Shi Hai Rui, the left deputy capital sent by the imperial court to investigate the case. Next, we will deal with the group of insects on the list who ride on the heads of ordinary people and do their best. Let's clean up!"

"Next, the property you get will still follow the old rules. Except for the part that must be handed over, the rest can be kept by yourself!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan's words fell, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. For those soldiers, there was nothing more exciting than ransacking their homes and exterminating their clans. , can also earn a lot of money.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "Quiet!"

After Zhang Yuan's words fell, the restless soldiers in the audience immediately quieted down. Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan nodded, and immediately continued to give instructions.

"In addition, there is no need to be too scruples about what to do next. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Kill kill kill!"

The next response to Zhang Yuan was the deafening shouts of killing from the audience.

After that, Zhang Yuan waved his hand violently, and soon someone came forward and passed the list to the other generals in charge of leading the army and the general.

The names on the list made these generals and generals even more frightened, because except for Yan Shenggong, the rest of the "Four Sages and Three Sages" families were all on the list.

"Do you have any questions about this? If not, then pass on the order of the officer, and the whole army will be dispatched!"

"Yes, my lord!"
