I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 562 Yan Song discovered the truth?
After the court meeting ended, Jiajing did not choose to take the Dragon Boat Festival and return to Qianqing Palace.

Instead, he chose to just walk back, while Lu Fang followed Jiajing's footsteps and headed in the direction of Qianqing Palace as usual.

At this moment, Lu Fang's heart was far from as peaceful as it seemed, because he never saw Jiajing's hand making the Thunder Pinch Jue movement from beginning to end.

"In other words, Your Majesty just summoned thunder from the sky with just a thought. Could it be said that Your Majesty now has the power to control thunder?"

"Hiss~ If that's the case, it seems that His Majesty's magic power has become more and more unpredictable now!"

The more Lu Fang thought about it, the more likely it was that she felt it was possible, and then she calmly looked away from Jiajing and said to herself.

"It seems that I have to make them stop swearing in front of me in the future. Otherwise, it will be bad if the thunder from the sky accidentally hurts me!"

When Lu Fang thought of this, Feng Bao's figure appeared in her mind unconsciously.

"Huh, especially this Feng Bao, he always likes to swear in front of me. It seems that when the time comes, I have to remind him!"

After that, Lu Fang came to his senses and followed Jiajing's pace in three steps and two steps at a time.

At this moment, Jiajing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around. After looking at Lu Fang up and down, he asked.

"By the way, Lu Fang, how did you go about the matter I assigned you earlier?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she understood instantly. Immediately, he leaned down and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, everything has been settled. The memorial to impeach Mr. Yan Shifan has been sent to the Supervisory Council!"

After receiving Lu Fang's exact answer, Jiajing nodded slightly and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, I understand. In short, you can control it yourself!"

"As you command, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

Just when Lu Fang thought the matter was over, Jiajing's rather plain voice sounded in Lu Fang's ears again.

"By the way, how are the preparations going at the newspaper?"

When Lu Fang saw Jiajing asking her about the newspaper, she didn't dare to hide anything and immediately told everything.

"Your Majesty, the Information Agency is currently accelerating the process and printing newspapers. It is estimated that in three days, the second issue of Daming Daily will be printed!"

"Ah."

After hearing Lu Fang's report, Jiajing responded casually, then changed the topic and gave instructions to Lu Fang.

"Let's go back to Qianqing Palace with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

On the other side, although the court meeting was over, the shock that Jiajing brought to the ministers was far from over.

After all, no one would believe that the weather could change so dramatically in such a short period of time unless they saw it with their own eyes. Such changes cannot be explained by common sense.

Therefore, in the end, there was only one reasonable explanation left for this matter, and that was that God showed his support for His Majesty's abolition of the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong!

This also coincides with the Confucian theory of the interaction between heaven and man, so it was quickly accepted by the vast majority of officials present.

On the way back to the cabinet, Yan Song's mind kept flashing back to the scene when Jiajing was angry earlier.

Especially the several thunderbolts falling from mid-air gave Yan Song an extremely shocking shock. Combined with some of the things that happened earlier and the pills that Jiajing had fed to him.

Soon, an extremely ridiculous conjecture gradually emerged in Yan Song's mind: "Is your Majesty an accomplished monk?"

'Hiss~' For a moment, Yan Song was frightened by his guess and couldn't help but take a breath.

However, after calming down, Yan Song quickly rejected his conjecture personally.

"No, it's impossible. From ancient times to the present, starting from Qin Shihuang, countless emperors have wanted to succeed in cultivating immortals and gain eternal life, but without exception, they all failed and eventually turned into a handful of loess!"

"But, how should we explain this sudden change in weather? Could it be from Qintian Prison..."

"Yes, that's right, it must be the devil from the Qintian Prison!"

Yan Song thought so and couldn't help but clenched his fists and muttered silently to himself.

At this moment, Xu Jie on the side saw Yan Song looking thoughtful and couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Yan Ge, I see why you look so depressed. Could it be that..."

However, before Xu Jie finished speaking, Yan Song calmly changed the subject: "It's okay, by the way, Mr. Xu Ge, have you recently..."

……

Forbidden City, Inspectorate, Zhao Zhenji's duty room.

At this moment, Zhao Zhenji looked at the impeachment memorial about Yan Shifan that was delivered to him, and couldn't help but sigh and complained.

"Oh, it's true, the quiet days haven't lasted long, and trouble has come again!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhenji's face was full of embarrassment, because he really didn't know how to deal with the impeachment memorials that were sent to him.

After all, the person currently being impeached is the son of Yan Song, the chief minister of the current cabinet, and Yan Shifan, who is also the cabinet minister!

Zhao Zhenji was actually unwilling in her heart, and she had a falling out with Yan Song and Yan Shifan because of this incident.

But now the impeachment memorial has been sent to the Supervisory Council. As a supervisory censor, Zhao Zhenji would not be able to justify it both emotionally and rationally if he did not deal with it.

As early as after these impeachment memorials were sent to the Supervisory Council, Zhao Zhenji ordered people to investigate the situation, but found nothing.

"Forget it, since we still don't understand the situation clearly, let's wait for a while first!"

After Zhao Zhenji made up his mind, he immediately put aside the impeachment memorials about Yan Shifan in his hand, then stood up from his seat, opened the door, and left the duty room.

At this moment, many officials in the Inspectorate are busy processing the impeachment memorials sent to the Inspectorate, but most of them have solemn expressions on their faces.

Not long after, when Zhao Zhenji came to the check-in room with his hands behind his back, the officials seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and poured out their sorrows one after another.

"Sir, there are many more memorials to impeach Mr. Xiaoge. Look..."

"Sir, please read this memorial!"

"Sir, what should we do next? Do we really have to deal with it impartially? What if the time comes..."

Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhenji coughed twice and then said in a deep voice.

"Please be quiet, I have something important to announce next!"

As soon as Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, the originally extremely noisy room on duty at the Inspectorate instantly became extremely quiet.

Those officials looked at Zhao Zhenji with hope. At this moment, they all hoped that Zhao Zhenji could come up with a feasible plan.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Zhao Zhenji looked around and nodded with satisfaction. After organizing the words in his mind, he immediately gave instructions.

"The next thing I want to say is that there is no need to deal with it in a hurry for now. We will deal with these impeachment memorials when the situation becomes clear!"

"I am also thinking about everyone. If our Inspectorate is involved in a fight between the two parties, things will be in trouble. What do you think?"

As soon as Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, many officials in the duty room couldn't help but show gratitude on their faces, and they all agreed in unison.

"Yes, my lord!"

……

From the Ministry of Rites, Li Chunfang threw all the preparations for receiving the Rakshasa envoys to Xu Xuemo, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the proposition.

After reading a large number of classics and taking into account the actual situation of the clan and nobles, Li Chunfang finally completed the examination questions.

"Those who are born with knowledge are the best. If they are small, they are far-reaching. If they are far-reaching, they are broad and profound. If they are broad, they will be wise. The reason why broad and broad is to carry things..."

Li Chunfang looked at the exam questions written on the paper and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. All the fatigue accumulated over the past few days dissipated at this moment.

"Huh~ It's finally time to hand in the mission. Without further ado, I have to quickly show this topic to His Majesty!" Li Chunfang thought like this. After carefully putting the paper away, she immediately called the guards and gave some instructions. Then, he left in a hurry.

On the way to the Qianqing Palace, Li Chunfang felt extremely uneasy. After all, this matter was of great importance, involving the interests of millions of clans and nobles in the Ming Dynasty. If something went wrong, the first person to be held accountable would be the one who would be held accountable. It’s him, the Minister of Rites!

As soon as Li Chunfang arrived at Qianqing Palace, she bumped into the guiding eunuch.

Seeing Li Chunfang in a hurry, the guiding eunuch suddenly stopped in his tracks. After bowing respectfully, he immediately asked.

"Master Li, what are you..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunfang immediately leaned down and responded respectfully.

"I have met my father-in-law, and I will tell you the truth. I came here this time because I want to meet His Majesty and report something important!"

After hearing what Li Chunfang said, the guiding eunuch immediately smiled and said slowly.

"It just so happens that His Majesty has just returned to Qianqing Palace not long ago. Let's go and inform you right now!"

"Eunuch Lao is here!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, her face showed gratitude, and she immediately bowed her hands to the guiding eunuch and said respectfully.

After that, the guiding eunuch did not hesitate and immediately stepped onto the stairs of Qianqing Palace. Li Chunfang looked at the back of the guiding eunuch leaving, feeling even more uneasy and praying in her heart.

"Oh, I hope nothing goes wrong later!"

After that, Li Chunfang thought a lot. From the examination room where the exam would be organized to who would mark the exam, Li Chunfang had a general idea.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded next to Li Chunfang's ears, bringing him back to reality.

"Master Li, Your Majesty wants you to go in and see him!"

Hearing this, Li Chunfang suddenly came back to her senses and immediately looked at the guiding eunuch not far away. At this moment, the guiding eunuch's face was filled with a warm smile.

"Excuse me, father-in-law!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, she immediately stepped forward and quietly pressed a thick stack of banknotes into the hand of the guiding eunuch.

When the guiding eunuch saw this, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Then, after he roughly felt the thickness of the stack of banknotes in his hand, the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Master Li, you'd better go in quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting!"

"Ah."

Li Chunfang responded inaudibly, and immediately stepped onto the stairs of Qianqing Palace.

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

After Li Chunfang entered Qianqing Palace, she immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Jiajing slowly put down the brush in his hand, then turned his eyes to Li Chunfang and gave instructions.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's permission, Li Chunfang immediately stood up slowly from the ground.

After that, Jiajing's ancient voice sounded in Li Chunfang's ears: "Li Chunfang, when you come to see me this time, have you already settled on the proposition?"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, she looked respectful and immediately responded.

"Your Majesty, your majesty is wise. This is exactly why I came here!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, she took out the paper with the exam questions written on it from her sleeve and raised it high above her head.

Lu Fang, who was on the side, saw this and without waiting for Jiajing's instructions, he immediately came to Li Chunfang, took the paper with the exam questions from his hand, and handed it to Jiajing respectfully.

"His Majesty!"

"Ah."

Jiajing responded in an indistinct manner, then took the paper from Lu Fang's hand and began to read the contents attentively.

Time passed by slowly, and after a long time, Jiajing put the paper in his hand aside, nodded, and cast an approving look at Li Chunfang.

"Well, Li Chunfang, you did a good job on this matter!"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The big stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Then, Li Chunfang came to his senses, showed humility, and responded respectfully.

"In the final analysis, this is all your Majesty's credit. It is precisely because of your wise and powerful leadership that I can..."

However, before Li Chunfang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Jiajing.

"Okay, Li Chunfang, you don't have to be too humble, I see all the things you do!"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, a warmth suddenly flowed through her heart, and she responded with tears of gratitude.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, Jiajing changed the subject and asked Li Chunfang again.

"Now that the exam questions have been determined, the next step is to organize the exam and how to grade the papers. Li Chunfang, as the Minister of Rites, if you have any ideas, just say it!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, she immediately responded after thinking about it for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I feel that although this exam is specifically for the clan and nobles, in order to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to this exam, the Gongyuan should be reopened, and the ministers who grade the papers should be the best. He is a highly respected person!"

After hearing Li Chunfang's proposal, Jiajing did not hesitate for too long and immediately nodded in agreement with Li Chunfang's proposal.

"Well, I'm sure. When the time comes, the Gongyuan will be reopened. As for the ministers who will review the results, I'll tell the cabinet then!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Just when Li Chunfang thought that the matter was over and was about to say goodbye and leave, Jiajing's voice sounded in Li Chunfang's ears again.

"Well, Li Chunfang, you also know that with the current level of the clan and nobles, they may not be able to solve such a difficult question!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the paper that had been put aside earlier, with a look of helplessness on his face, and what was written on the paper.

"Those who are born with knowledge are the best. If they are small, they are far-reaching. If they are far-reaching, they are broad and profound. If they are broad, they will be wise. The reason why broad and broad is to carry things..."

When Li Chunfang heard this, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on her face. She leaned down and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. When you come down later, Wei Chen will send someone to send you the range of questions for this exam!"

Jiajing heard this and after hearing Li Chunfang's response, he felt relieved and immediately spoke with emotion.

"Well, good, very good, Li Chunfang, it seems that you are more comfortable in this position as the Minister of Rites. I am very pleased!"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, she immediately looked stern and determined.

"Wei Chen's achievements today are all due to your Majesty's support. Without you, I, Li Chunfang, would not be where I am today. Your Majesty, please accept Wei Chen's respect!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, she bowed to the ground quite solemnly.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and immediately stepped forward personally, helped Li Chunfang up from the ground, and then spoke.

"Aiqing was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing's reign, and he was born as a scholar. Don't worry, I will never forget you!"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, a look of shock flashed across her face, and she immediately responded in a deep voice.

"My minister, thank you Your Majesty!"

"Ah."
