I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 564: Lu Fang gets angry

Night falls, Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Lu Fang walked silently to Jiajing and reported respectfully.

"Your Majesty, all the 3206 million taels of silver have been transported to the capital by the royal guards. Do you want to..."

After Jiajing heard this, he immediately exited the meditation state, stood up slowly from the futon, glanced at Lu Fang, and gave instructions.

"Well, since the money has been delivered, let's send it all to the treasury. Tomorrow, let the Ministry of Accounts allocate all the money that should be allocated!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she immediately leaned down and responded respectfully.

After that, Jiajing looked away from Lu Fang and asked.

"By the way, did Hai Rui say how long it will take for him to come back? I will definitely reward him well this time!"

When Lu Fang heard what Jiajing said, she thought about it for a moment and then responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, according to the Jin Yiwei responsible for escorting the silver coins, there are still some remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong. Hai Rui is currently working with Cao Feng, the governor of Shandong, to mobilize local officers and soldiers to vigorously eliminate them!"

"Slave, I think it will take some more time!"

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing nodded slightly and immediately spoke.

"Forget it, as for rewards, let's wait until Hai Rui comes back from Shandong!"

When Jiajing said this, he turned his eyes to Lu Fang who was aside and followed up with instructions.

"Lu Fang, you also contributed a lot to this matter. Didn't you say that a large number of antiques and treasures were found from those families whose homes were confiscated?"

"When the time comes, you can also pick some of them!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, a look of fear and uneasiness suddenly appeared on her face. She fell to her knees on the ground with a thump and said in a deep voice.

"Being able to serve His Majesty is already the greatest blessing for this servant. How dare you ask for anything else? Please ask Your Majesty..."

However, before Lu Fang finished speaking, Jiajing interrupted impatiently: "Really, Lu Fang, why are you so polite to me?"

When Jiajing said this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang, with a look of blame on his face, and then he spoke seriously.

"I ask you to take it, so hold it for me. As long as I am the emperor, no one in the world will dare to cause trouble for you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Jiajing had already said this, Lu Fang did not dare to refuse anymore and had to respond respectfully.

At this moment, Jiajing's words gave Lu Fang an endless sense of security. Others didn't know about the emperor's situation, so didn't Lu Fang know about it?
The current emperor is successful in practicing Taoism, and his lifespan is probably several times that of ordinary people!
In Lu Fang's view, Jiajing's words just now meant a promise. As long as he did not make any principled mistakes in the future, he would be able to peacefully retire from his position as Chief of Ceremony and Eunuch.

Lu Fang has been in the palace for decades and has seen too many examples like this. When you are in a high and powerful position, there will always be countless people rushing to curry favor with you and try every means to get closer to you. But when you lose power, everyone They will stay far away from you, for fear of being affected, and everything in the past is just a cloud.

The eunuchs are no better than the ministers in the court, and the struggles between them are far more brutal and brutal than those of the officials in the court.

Once officials lose power, they can keep a low profile and bide their time, but once eunuchs lose power, what awaits them is ruthless liquidation by their successors!

It is precisely because of this that Lu Fangfang is careful in everything he does, and treats everyone equally regardless of the status of the person he communicates with.

The reason why Lu Fang accepted Feng Bao as his godson was also based on this consideration. His only hope was that when Feng Bao became successful in the future, he would be able to miss his old relationship a little bit.

At this moment, Jiajing's voice sounded in Lu Fang's ears, bringing him back to reality.

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

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, Lu Fang did not stay in the Qianqing Palace for too long. After bowing respectfully to Jiajing, he turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.

After Lu Fang walked out of Qianqing Palace, she looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the sky was dotted with stars, and a breeze blew by from time to time, which made people feel relaxed and happy. However, Lu Fang only looked at it for a few times, then turned away and walked towards the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

……

As soon as Lu Fang returned to the Chief of Ceremonies, she saw a young eunuch coming up to him and saying respectfully.

"Ancestor, Eunuch Feng is waiting for you inside!"

When Lu Fang heard this, the expression on her face did not change much. She just nodded and responded.

"Well, I see, you go down!"

Seeing that his mission was completed, the young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. After bowing respectfully to Lu Fang, he immediately turned and left.

After that, Lu Fang did not stay too much, but stepped into the ceremonial prison.

As soon as Lu Fang entered the ceremonial office, Feng Bao greeted him and spoke with special respect.

"Godfather!"

"Ah."

Lu Fang could notice that Feng Bao was looking at him with earnest eyes at this moment.

Thinking of this, Lu Fang secretly increased her vigilance. After that, Lu Fang walked to the top and sat down.

As soon as he picked up the teapot on the side and poured himself a cup of hot tea, Feng Bao came to Lu Fang first and said respectfully.

"Godfather, just ask your child to do such a small thing!"

After saying that, Feng Bao picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Fang, and served it with both hands.

Seeing this, Lu Fang took the teacup from Feng Bao's hand, took a sip, and immediately asked.

"Feng Bao, tell your godfather, is there something wrong with you and want to ask your godfather for help?"

When Feng Bao heard what Lu Fang said, his expression suddenly froze, and then he forced a smile and responded.

"Godfather, you are joking. It's just because I have been too busy recently. The child has not seen his godfather for a long time, so..."

When Lu Fang heard this, the expression on her face suddenly turned gloomy. She put the teacup in her hand back to its original position and spoke slowly.

"Feng Bao, you are my godson. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be so coy!"

Seeing this situation, Feng Bao did not dare to hide anything anymore. After organizing the words in his mind, he tentatively asked Lu Fang.

"Dad, in a month or two, the mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang will be almost mature, so the Weaving Bureau will..."

As soon as Feng Bao stood up, he saw Lu Fang sneered and added.

"You want to say that the Weaving Bureau wants to take this opportunity to collude with those officials and purchase raw silk from the people at a low price, right?"

When Feng Bao heard this, he suddenly became extremely uneasy, but when he met Lu Fang's unusually cold gaze, he shuddered and knelt on the ground with a plop, and said bravely.

"Yes...yes, godfather, the new chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, let me ask you if you want..."

Before Feng Bao finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound. It turned out that Lu Fang was so angry that he threw the cup.

The tea cup shattered next to Feng Bao and turned into countless ceramic shards. The tea in the cup just spilled to the ground, with wisps of steam still rising.

Not only that, Feng Bao's hand was scratched by flying ceramic shards, and traces of blood seeped out from the scratched wound, but at this moment, he did not dare to make any move.Seeing Lu Fang's sudden attack, Feng Bao's face suddenly showed a look of fear and uneasiness. He prostrated himself on the ground and trembled.

"Fuck...godfather, this matter is my child's fault. My child shouldn't mention this in front of you. Please spare my child this time!"

"Shut up, I think you are blinded by lard. Do you want to kill your godfather?"

At this moment, the expression on Lu Fang's face was extremely ferocious. He leaned down, lifted Feng Bao's collar, and looked at the successor he had vigorously cultivated in front of him with a selective and devouring gaze. He spoke word by word. road.

"Hmph, Feng Bao, you've just been a eunuch for a few days, and you've already forgotten your identity?"

"Do you think your godfather can't control you now that your wings have become stiff?"

When Feng Bao heard what Lu Fang said, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen. At this moment, his face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

"Fuck...godfather, that's not what I meant. My child just...just..."

However, at this moment, Lu Fang had no intention of talking nonsense with Feng Bao. Instead, she grabbed Feng Bao's hair with one hand and forced him to raise his head and look at her.

"Now, I ask and you answer, if there is even half a lie in the middle, I will chop you into pieces and feed it to the dogs tomorrow!"

Hearing Lu Fang's voice without a trace of emotion, Feng Bao was so frightened that he couldn't help but respond.

"Daddy, just ask, I will tell you everything you know!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang looked Feng Bao up and down, then looked back and asked immediately.

"Besides the Weaving Bureau, who else in the DPRK and China is involved in this matter?"

When Feng Bao heard this, hesitation suddenly appeared on his face, but when he met Lu Fang's murderous gaze, he had no choice but to tell everything he knew.

"Back to my godfather, many officials in the court were involved in this matter. On Yan Dang's side, it was Yan Maoqing, and on Qingliu's side, Wang Ting, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and others were planning it."

"In addition, there are many people involved not only in the court, but also in the Li Prison."

When Feng Bao finished speaking, a look of horror suddenly appeared on Lu Fang's face, and she immediately confirmed.

"What, there are people in the Li Prison who are also involved in this matter. Who are they?"

When Feng Bao heard this, a tangled look appeared on his face at the right time, and his eyes when he looked at Lu Fang were full of pleading.

"Fuck... godfather, baby... baby really doesn't dare..."

However, before Feng Bao finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Lu Fang.

"Hmph, if you tell me, your godfather might be able to think of a solution for you. Otherwise, if something happens, Feng Bao, don't blame your godfather for not reminding you!"

When Lu Fang finished speaking, Feng Bao's face was full of confusion. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came back to his senses.

Then, Feng Bao cautiously asked Lu Fang, as if he had made up his mind.

"Godfather, can you prepare pen and paper for the child?"

Lu Fang naturally responded to Feng Bao's request. She immediately stood up from her seat and prepared pen and paper for Feng Bao.

Not long after, Lu Fang brought the pen and paper in front of Feng Bao and said coldly.

"Write it!"

"Yes, godfather!"

After waiting for the response, Feng Bao took the pen and paper from Lu Fang's hand with his slightly trembling right hand, and began to write down names one after another on the paper.

Soon, the paper was filled with densely packed names. When Lu Fang saw this, her brows jumped and the expression on her face became extremely gloomy.

While Lu Fang was still racking his brains to think about how to deal with this matter next, Feng Bao's extremely timid voice sounded in his ears, bringing him back to reality.

"Daddy, please take a look!"

"Ah."

After Lu Fang responded casually, he immediately took the paper from Feng Bao's hand, but when he saw the name on it, his face was full of disbelief, and he immediately lost his voice.

"This this this..."

In fact, it's not surprising that Lu Fang was so surprised, because more than half of the people in charge of the ceremony were on the list written by Feng Bao, and there were even many people on it who were Lu Fang's right-hand assistants.

Lu Fang knew very well that if the list in his hand was handed over intact, there would probably be less than half of the ceremonial supervisors left the next day.

Even as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, he will not be able to escape the blame!

At this moment, looking at the list in his hand, Lu Fang suddenly fell into a dilemma.

On the one hand, I am highly valued by His Majesty, and I should have no reservations about it and eradicate all these cancers. But on the other hand, if I hand over this list, I will also be affected. Let’s not talk about anything else for the moment. The position of the ceremonial supervisor and eunuch is definitely not guaranteed!
Lu Fang did not want to see the position of the eunuch in charge of the ceremony fall into the hands of others.

There is a saying that once the emperor and his ministers are in power, if someone else comes to power, out of the need to consolidate their own status, the first thing to do is to clean up the remaining forces and support their cronies to rise to power.

And Lu Fang didn't want to be the one to be liquidated, so he couldn't give up the position of Chief Priest and Eunuch easily!
Feng Bao on the side seemed to see the hesitation in Lu Fang's heart. He hugged Lu Fang's thigh tightly and burst into tears.

"Godfather, the child was blinded by lard, please spare the child this time. The child will never dare to do it again!"

"Please, godfather, if something happens to the child, you won't have anyone to take care of him until his death!"

"Godfather! Godfather!"

No matter how much Feng Bao begged, Lu Fang remained unmoved. Then, Feng Bao may have given up, his eyes were full of sadness, and then he resolutely turned his eyes to Lu Fang and said in a deep voice.

"Godfather, if you hadn't protected me all these years, my child would have died a long time ago!"

"This child's life belongs to you, godfather. You can take it back whenever you want. The child knows that he has made a big mistake and it is irreversible. The child will go to His Majesty later to report his guilt! "

"Godfather, I just hope that you can take good care of yourself after the child is gone. From now on, there will be no one to take care of you in your old age!"

After Feng Bao finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily on the ground three times, and then slowly stood up from the ground. He planned to go to meet Jiajing and tell everything.

Just as Feng Bao opened the door, Lu Fang stopped him.

"Come back here, it's so late, where do you want to go?"

When Feng Bao heard Lu Fang's words, his face was suddenly covered with a surprised expression of being saved from a desperate situation. Immediately, he quickly came to Lu Fang's side. After hesitating for a long time, he asked.

"Godfather, you..."

Lu Fang turned a deaf ear to Feng Bao's words and saw him holding the paper to himself, coming to the bright orange candle in the room and putting the paper on it.

As soon as the orange flames came into contact with the paper, it burned even more fiercely. Lu Fang watched with her own eyes as the paper gradually turned into ashes.

After doing this, Lu Fang turned around, turned her eyes to Feng Bao, and gave cold instructions.

"I'll give them a message on behalf of my godfather. If you stop now, I can forget about it. Otherwise, don't blame me, Lu Fang, for not remembering our old relationship!"

"Yes, godfather, let's do it now!"

Naturally, Feng Bao did not dare to neglect Lu Fang's words. Immediately, he bowed respectfully to Lu Fang and left with eager steps.

After Feng Bao left, an undetectable sigh came from the room.

"Ugh!"
