Wanshou Palace, sandalwood rises and rises.

Jiajing, who was wearing a blue robe, sat cross-legged in front of the desk, with a bamboo slip on the desk that looked tattered, and the rope that was worn seemed to break as soon as it was pulled. This bamboo slip was just sent, and it was once disgusted by Jiajing, and it was almost thrown away.

It's just that at this moment, listening to the legendary life of Pan Maoming, and then looking at this bamboo slip called "Pan Maoming's Miscellaneous Records", my heart immediately stirred up stormy waves.

In the same way, Jiajing faintly smelled an extremely important breath, and it was no longer possible to suppress the surprise in his heart, and he looked at Lin Haoran in extreme shock and asked for verification.

Hey?

Xu Fan didn't dare to look at Long Yan squarely, but from the emperor's tone, he sensed the emperor's strangeness.

Lin Haoran's doubts in his heart were even worse, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and replied very honestly: "The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, this is a matter that everyone in Guangdong and West knows, and it is definitely not made up by the minister!" ”

Jiajing naturally didn't really question Lin Haoran's words, but cared too much about this matter, so he asked this question. He saw Lin Haoran reply so seriously, so he nodded slightly, and then asked seriously: "Other than that, is there anything else?" ”

Huang Jin stood beside him cautiously, and at this time he also looked at Lin Haoran curiously.

Lin Haoran thought for a while, and responded seriously: "Gaozhou Hangbang Ridge, also known as Pan Ling, is lush with vegetation and does not wither at four o'clock, it is a miracle in Gaozhou, and the world says that it is caused by Pan Xian's alchemy in this mountain back then. ”

"This must be the result of refining the Divine Pill!" When Jiajing heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was already full of infinite yearning, and he came to a conclusion.

Lin Haoran continued to search his intestines and scrape his stomach, and then continued: "There is a stone boat in Panxian Slope, Gaozhou. The two ends are slightly like lotus leaves, eight and a half feet long, four feet wide, and there is a stone penny, but it is in the cloud furnace cave, two zhang long, the world is called but Pan Maoming goes back and forth to the South China Sea Dragon Palace to ride, the immortal goes and abandons it. ”

"It's really a god!" Jiajing sighed slightly. He has always had the fantasy of stepping on the artifact, and he likes to listen to the life of this legendary figure the most, so he looks at Lin Haoran with blazing eyes.

The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth couldn't help but be bitter, and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he knows the details of Pan Maoming's life. If the emperor wants to know more, I am afraid that he will have to find the Hanlin Academy or ask the local officials of Gaozhou to submit it! ”

Listening to these words, Jiajing couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, but immediately looked at the bamboo slips on the case as if they were treasures, and read them seriously: "The essence is the sky, the qi is the earth, and the spirit is the essence and the qi." If the mind is shaken, the spirit will be scattered and die, and if not, it will be long-lived! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

This "wonderful" is not the word on the bamboo slip, but he felt it, that is, he regarded this Pan Xian, who had never met before, as a god.

Jiajing suddenly looked at the remnants of the bamboo slips in distress, reluctantly looked away from the bamboo slips, looked up at the two courtiers in front of him, and pointed at him and blamed: "If it weren't for your sister's merit, I would have really cured you of a crime of dereliction of duty!" ”

"Panic!" Lin Haoran was too puzzled in her heart, although she didn't know what the wild girl of the tiger girl had done, she still knelt down honestly and said.

"Well, I don't blame you!" Jiajing waved his hand gently, but suddenly asked with a straight face: "Are you willing to go to Huainan to inspect the salt and implement the new law for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

This......

Xu Fan's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, but he turned his head to look at Lin Haoran with emotions of shock, hatred and jealousy.

He couldn't figure it out, it was obvious that he had just performed better, and this kid was also actively recommended to him, why did the emperor reuse this kid.

Lin Haoran faced Jiajing's inquiry, but sighed gloomily in his heart.

If he had a choice, he would be happy for Xu Fan to go to Huainan, even if he wanted to go, he would wait for Xu Fan's return. It's just that Jiajing asked like this, I'm afraid he already decided to let him go.

Lin Haoran didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will, but he still chose to shirk and said: "Enlighten the emperor, the ministers are afraid that they will be embarrassed by this great responsibility, it will violate the emperor's grace, and it will be a failure to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Lin Aiqing, you're worried about local resistance, right? You don't have to worry too much about these things, no matter who is involved, I will support you! Jiajing was not angry, but assured.

The problem of salt administration has long been not an overnight thing, but a problem that has always plagued the Ming Dynasty, and the biggest obstacle has always been local forces. Even though he, the emperor, intends to rectify the salt administration, he has little effect every time.

Now Xu Fan is not selected, but Lin Haoran is selected, which is naturally to give greater support. Although Xu Jie kept saying that he wanted to support it, if he believed Xu Jie's words, the emperor had really done it in vain for so many years.

Lin Haoran didn't think about how Jiajing could speak, but he still shook his head lightly and replied seriously: "Not only that, but the minister is actually ...... Something else to worry about! ”

"What is it?" Jiajing knew that Lin Haoran was an extremely smart person, and immediately asked curiously.

Lin Haoran didn't answer directly, but cautiously glanced up at Jiajing, with a hesitant look on his face, and then looked at Xu Fan, who was full of curiosity.

"See what I'm doing?"

Xu Fan had been listening carefully beside him, and when he found Lin Haoran looking at him, he couldn't help but feel unhappy immediately.

"Xu Shaoqing, you step down!"

Jiajing saw Lin Haoran's small action in his eyes, which was to fulfill Lin Haoran's wish, and directly issued an expulsion order to Xu Fan.

"Weichen retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Although Xu Fan had 100,000 reluctance in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the holy will, so he respectfully bowed and left.

After he left Jiajing's sight, he deliberately walked a few steps slower, wanting to hear the hidden truth. It's just that to his surprise, a group of little eunuchs and palace maids were also sent out.

There are no impermeable walls, and a lot of things here quickly spread to the outside world.

By the end of the evening, almost the entire city of Beijing would have known about it. The emperor summoned Lin Haoran and Xu Fan at the same time today, and will send Lin Haoran to Huainan to implement the ticket salt law in Huaiyan.

For this result, the outside world was not too surprised.

If you select important ministers from among the hundreds of officials in the court, there are too many officials with deeper qualifications than Lin Haoran, but compared with Xu Fan, Lin Haoran is so well-deserved.

It's just that in the next time, things suddenly turn weird.

Since summoning Lin Haoran and Xu Jie, seeing that April is coming, there has been no movement in the palace, and things seem to have changed again.
