Under the leadership of the attendants, Lu Fang walked into the cabinet with unhurried steps, still with a warm smile on his face.

"I've seen Gonggong Lu." Yan Song and Gao Gong got down from their chairs and saluted Lu Fang.

"The two pavilion elders hurry up, we don't need to." As she spoke, Lu Fang helped the two old men back to their seats.

"I came this time mainly to follow His Majesty's will to invite the two pavilion elders to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to discuss matters."

"Since it is Your Majesty's will, we will go now!"

Among the two, Xu Jie was the first to talk, and it just so happened that he still had a book that he didn't participate in, and Yan Song on the side looked like an old god, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yan Ge Lao? Yan Ge Lao? Seeing that Yan Song didn't talk, Xu Jie couldn't help but remind him out loud.

"Oh, I'm sorry, people are old and have these problems, please forgive Gonggong Lu." Yan Song's cloudy eyes turned, looking like he had just woken up from a dream.

"Yan Ge is always diligent for the country, and he has worked so hard, he doesn't dare." Lu Fang hurriedly comforted.

"Please, please come with me." After Lu Fang finished speaking, he walked in the front, followed by Yan Song and Xu Jie.

"Today's matter, the old man will give the two pavilion elders a thorough understanding in advance, and it is related to Tao Zhongwen."

Just as he was about to walk out of the cabinet gate, Lu Fang suddenly turned around and reminded in a low voice.

Hearing Lu Fang mention Tao Zhongwen, both Xu Jie and Yan Song knew very well that Jinyiwei did not hide his actions last night, but neither Yan Dang nor Qingliu was confused about this, the emperor was superstitious about cultivating immortals and wanted to live forever, and Tao Zhongwen happened to be the one who made alchemy for His Majesty.

On weekdays, even the two elders of the pavilion have to be a little weak in front of him, how could they suddenly be taken by the Jinyi guard? And the leader of the team is still the leader of the Jinyi Guard, which is even more confusing.

In such a brainstorming, Yan Song and Xu Jie came to the place where Jiajing now lives, the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge have already arrived." After Lu Fang brought the people here, he went straight to Jiajing and stood still.

"Chen Xu Jie, Yan Song, I've seen Your Majesty!"

"Two elders, please get up, come here, give a seat to the elders!" As soon as Jiajing's words fell, an attendant brought a chair and covered it with a thick warm cushion.

"Do you know why I'm here for you?"

Jiajing turned his back, leisurely looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall next to him, and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers don't know!" Yan Song arched his hand and took the lead in speaking.

"You two take a look." After Jiajing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ledger on the table.

Lu Fang understood and handed the account book to Yan Song and Xu Jie.

Yan Song and Xu Jie put on their reading glasses and began to carefully read the contents of the ledger.

"Your Majesty, this, this, this! It's really a blessing for me in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xu Jie shouted excitedly after reading the contents of the account book, which recorded the property that Jin Yiwei had found from Tao Zhongwen and his Fang Shi's house, a total of 3,865,221 taels of silver, in addition to a number of mansion land deeds.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this silver is really timely rain! With this money, not only can the salaries of the front-line soldiers be solved, but the Wanshou Palace where you previously lived can also be renovated. ”

Yan Song took off his reading glasses, and his tone was full of joy.

"The house will not be repaired for the time being, and it will be repaired when there is surplus!" Jiajing's flat voice sounded.

"The people are precious, the society is secondary, the monarch is light, Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, first the world and then himself, he is really a sage today, please bow to the ministers!" Yan Song trembled and bowed to the ground.

"Yan Ge, please hurry up, I still need you pillars, if you are tired, where can I find such a dedicated cabinet leader?" With a slight look of disgust on his face, Jiajing helped Yan Song up.

"Then dare to ask what Your Majesty intends to use this silver for?" Xu Jie, who was on the side, asked.

"I am going to put all this money into the treasury in case of danger."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"The state affairs are difficult, there are Tatars in the north, there are Japanese robbers in the southeast, floods, droughts, floods, and locust plagues are coming one after another, and the burden on the two of you is very heavy!"

"The minister must be smeared with His Majesty's liver and brain, and he will never give up!"

"Okay, I came to the two Pavilion Elders today just for this matter, I hope you will not live up to my expectations!" After Jiajing finished speaking, he waved his hand, intending to let the two go back.

At this moment, Xu Jie suddenly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, took out the recital from the cuffs, held it high above his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has this recital!" ”

Yan Song, who was on the side, was about to leave when he heard Xu Jie's words and turned back suddenly.

"The minister impeached Feng Bao, the eunuch of Dongchang, framed Zhongliang, and blocked the way of speech! Last night, when the officials saw the snow falling from the sky, they rushed to celebrate His Majesty, but they were intercepted by Feng Bao on the way, and instructed his evil servants to use wooden sticks to kill, among which countless people were injured, and even the old man who was six out of fifty was brutally murdered and was beaten to death. ”

"Your Majesty, please call the shots!" Xu Jie's tone was pathetic, his head was buried deep in the ground, and when he raised his head again, he was already in tears.

Lu Fang, who had been standing next to him like a wooden man, changed his face in an instant, and then lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"Oh, and that kind of thing?"

Jiajing took the fold from Xu Jie's hand with a puzzled face, and after taking a cursory glance at the contents on it, he slapped the table angrily.

"It's really unreasonable, go and call Feng Bao over to confront me face to face!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Feng Bao was taken to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and after seeing the people in the room clearly, Feng Bao fell to his knees with a pale face.

"Feng Bao, let me ask you, did you stop a group of officials outside the noon gate of the Forbidden City last night."

Jiajing Gujing looked at Feng Bao without waves and asked.

"Your Majesty, the slave did stop them, but ......"

Feng Bao said, his eyes unconsciously drifting in the direction of Lu Fang.

"But what? Keep talking! ”

"Your Majesty, it was already the curfew time of the Forbidden City, and the slaves had no choice but to stop the ministers, and the slaves and maids first persuaded them with kind words, persuading them to follow the normal procedures, and if there were any twists, they would first submit them to the cabinet, and then the celebrant supervisor, and then submit them to Your Majesty after approval."

"Your Excellency, perhaps because you were too eager to celebrate Your Majesty, ignored the advice of the slave maid, and later, at the instigation of a few people with ulterior motives, began to storm the city gates, and even snatched the weapons of the commander of the forbidden army, and the slave and maid had to give the order..."

"Come on, go and call the commander of the forbidden army." Jiajing ordered to the guards on the side.

Soon, the commander of the forbidden army came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty!" The Forbidden Commander immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Did you hear what Feng Bao said?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have heard it, and the ministers are willing to guarantee with their lives, which is completely true!"

"Well, then you go down." Jiajing waved his hand, and the commander of the forbidden army left as if he had been pardoned.

"Elder Xu Ge, did you hear it just now?" Jiajing's voice without joy and anger came into Xu Jie's ears.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have heard it, the reason why those officials are so excited must have been instigated by people with ulterior motives, and when the ministers go back to investigate, they will definitely find out this group of moths that have brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"Xu Ge has this heart of public loyalty to the country, and I am deeply comforted." Jiajing helped Xu Jie up and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing looked at Feng Bao, who was still kneeling on the ground, with a cold face: "Feng Bao, the eunuch of the East Factory, acted secretly, and mistakenly harmed Zhongliang, come here, pull me down, and punish me with twenty lashes!" ”

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

Soon, Feng Bao was dragged away by the soldiers who poured into the hall, and the begging for mercy gradually faded away.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are leaving!"

Xu Jie arched his hand to Jiajing, and Yan Song, who had watched the farce the whole process, also came back to his senses and said goodbye to Jiajing together.

"This Xu Jie, I set up a platform to sing with me, and I am singing Xiangzhuang Dancing Sword, which is intended for Pei Gong." After Xu Jie and Yan Song walked away, Jiajing chuckled lightly and sat back on the dragon chair, thinking so.

Jiajing rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair, and said to Lu Fang on the side: "Don't reward him on the surface, but reward him secretly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Fang bowed in response.
