Chapter 60: Prayer for Rain and Persuasion

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

There was no one around, Jiajing sat on the futon, absorbing the purple qi around him, since the last time the exercise was used to absorb the purple qi, it brought great benefits to Jiajing, not only the meridians in the body were washed by the purple qi again, but even in the dantian cyclone, the original milky white mana was gradually transformed into light purple.

Jiajing closed his eyes tightly, and the whole person entered a mysterious realm.

"I've come to my senses!"

Jiajing opened his eyes suddenly, and a touch of fine light bloomed from them, and then he pinched the seal with his hand, and there were words in his mouth, and the originally sunny weather was instantly covered with dark clouds, thunder rolled, and then it rained heavily in the sky.

"It seems that what I saw earlier is not false!" Jiajing got up from the futon, walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looked at the pouring rain outside, and muttered to himself silently.

Previously, when Jiajing was exhaling purple qi, he accidentally entered the illusion and saw a real dragon! And that dragon is exactly the same as depicted in the mythological story, even the scales on its body can be seen realistically, and Jiajing watched the whole process of swallowing clouds and spitting fog and raining rain in the form of a soul.

After Jiajing woke up from the illusion, he realized something, imitated the appearance of the dragon, pinched the seal with his hand, and tried to rain, but he didn't expect it to be successful.

"For the time being, let's name this spell the rain prayer technique, plus the thunder method I have mastered, if only I could learn how the dragon soars through the clouds and fog, and then maybe I can fly in mid-air and use the thunder method to split people." Jiajing thought so and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

……

Since the Yanguan on the Qingliu side began to impeach Gao Hanwen, the Yan Party was also not to be outdone, and wrote to impeach the officials of the Qingliu faction, and even Tan Lun, who was far away in Zhejiang, was affected and impeached.

Gradually, both sides have a real fire, today you join me, tomorrow I will join him, today you resign, tomorrow I will return home! Some of the things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains were also turned over and criticized, and several officials were imprisoned because of this, and in this process, Zhao Zhenji, the superintendent of the imperial history, was undoubtedly the busiest.

Zhao Zhenji looked at the mountain of impeachment folds in front of him, and made a difficulty, and he didn't dare to send the folds to the cabinet like before.

The excerpts of impeachment before were not very involved, and it was just a matter of one or two, but now the excerpts of impeachment involve a wide range of people, from the magistrates of the seventh and eighth grades to the important members of the court of the second and third grades, whether it is the strict party or the clear stream, no one can escape, and they are all among the impeachments.

"My lord, this is a new batch of excerpts, please ......"

Just as Zhao Zhenji was stunned, the little officials under his hands sent a lot of folds.

"Alas! Send quickly to find out if what was said in the previous memoraries is true. Zhao Zhenji said, sighing helplessly.

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the official beside him left the inspectorate without stopping.

……

Although the officials outside have been beaten into dogs because of the impeachment, countless officials have been impeached, falsely accused and imprisoned, and many of the work of the imperial court have come to a standstill, the entire cabinet is still calm and does not see a single ripple.

"Send all these folds to the celebrant!" Yan Song put down the corrected recital in his hand and said to the little officials waiting on the side.

"Yes." The little official received the order, and after taking the fold from Yan Song's hand, he rushed to the celebrant non-stop.

"Alas, today's excerpt is finally finished, how can there be so many recent events!" Xu Jie said, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and complained.

"There have been a lot of things lately, especially about impeachment, and I heard that the Inspectorate is about to let go of it! Many officials are so panicked that they have no intention of working. Yan Song put his hands on the stove and baked, and responded.

"I don't know how to do it, recently there has been a sudden wind of impeachment, many officials have been imprisoned for this, and the efficiency of the imperial court has been greatly reduced, so it's not a way to go on like this!" Xu Jie said, followed Yan Song's example, and came to the fireside to roast the fire.

"If you want me to say, just let them stop! If it continues like this, it will delay the affairs of the court at that time, and provoke the anger of His Majesty, and it will be the two of us who will bear the responsibility. Yan Song said and turned his gaze to Xu Jie.

"Elder Yan Ge has a point, such a crooked trend must not last long, and must be stopped!" Xu Jie did not shy away from Yan Song's gaze, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Okay, that's it, huh? What's going on with this weather, it was fine just now, why did it suddenly rain so heavily? Yan Song said, turning his eyes to the window, only to see the heavy rain pouring outside the window, lightning and thunder.

……

At the house of Shen Yishi, the richest man in Zhejiang, Zheng Michang, He Maocai, Shen Yishi, and Ma Ningyuan gathered together, and tonight's banquet was hosted by Shen Yishi.

"Everyone, please!" Shen Yishi said, took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup, and showed the bottom of the cup to everyone.

"Please, please, please!" Soon, the others drank all the wine in their glasses.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone's chatterbox was opened.

"Alas, the above has finally stopped for a while, just a few days ago, I had something to do in person at the river yamen, guess what? The original chief there has changed, and there is a different person I don't know! ”

When He Maocai said this, his face was slightly red, and after a pause, he continued to add: "Then I asked him, what about the original governor of this river yamen?" Then he replied that I had been impeached, and when the matter was done, and when I sent my subordinate to get the information, the subordinate came back and reported that I had changed the river yamen again, and that the new commander had not yet arrived. ”

"You say, 'What is this called?' If it continues like this, the affairs of the court will not be able to be handled. He Maocai said, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all.

"I have a deep understanding of this matter, in this impeachment, many of my former colleagues have either been removed from their posts or imprisoned, and their families have no way to get people out of their wealth, which is called a miserable! Later, I couldn't see it, so I funded a few people to make their family's life a little better. After hearing this, Zheng Michang sighed deeply, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"Alas, you guys are okay, you haven't been impeached, it's different like me, I was impeached by those officials, and I fabricated many trumped-up charges for me, and then the court sent someone to investigate and didn't find out why, and then let me be reinstated." Ma Ningyuan heard the complaints of the two colleagues and felt the same way.

"By the way, is that Gao Hanwen okay?" Immediately after that, Zheng Michang changed his words, looked at Ma Ningyuan, and asked out loud.

"It's okay, he's a student of Xiaoge Lao Yan Shifan, who would dare to touch him without conclusive evidence?" Ma Ningyuan put down the wine glass and replied.

"Oh, that's good." After listening to Ma Ningyuan's answer, Zheng Michang breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed his words and spoke.

"By the way, Yan Ge Lao has news from them, and there is a small matter that needs to be helped."

"What's the matter? If I can do it, I'll help! ”

Zheng Michang and He Maocai exchanged glances with each other, and then told everything out.

"What? You can't do that! If the embankment is destroyed, it will endanger the people of the nine counties and the hundreds of thousands of acres of land they own. ”

After listening to Zheng Michang's story, Ma Ningyuan refused without thinking about it.

"Master Ma, you listen to your teacher, and your teacher listens to Yan Ge Lao, this is Yan Ge Lao's idea!"

"And you are also doing this to reduce the burden on your teacher, besides, you don't need to do it yourself, you just need to make some small mistakes when supervising the river."

"It's... Let me think about it first......" Ma Ningyuan hesitated for a long time and then spoke.

"Okay, you can think about it for as long as you want! Anyway, this matter will definitely be done in the end, even if you ask your teacher, you will get the same answer. ”
