"Zhao Zhenji, as the overseer of the imperial history, do you know about this?"

Jiajing's voice was not loud, but in Zhao Zhenji's opinion, this was a naked talisman! If you don't answer well, you'll have to explain it here today.

Zhao Zhenji had already organized the language in his mind, knelt on the ground, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, you are wronged!" Weichen had not received any notes related to it before, so naturally there was no way to know about it. ”

"If Your Majesty wants to punish Weichen for this matter, Weichen will also admit it, after all, Weichen is the supervisor of the imperial history, but he did not perform the corresponding duties well, so that Your Majesty you are deceived, and Weichen deserves death!"

"I beg Your Majesty to punish Wei Chen!"

Zhao Zhenji took a few words and pulled himself out of this whirlpool.

He cried to Jiajing that he had not received this kind of recital, but he was conveying such a message to Jiajing, Your Majesty, it is the officials below who have joined forces to deceive you, Weichen doesn't know about it, and the whole thing has nothing to do with Weichen!

In addition, Zhao Zhenji took the initiative to admit his mistake to Jiajing, saying that it was because he did not perform the corresponding duties that Jiajing was deceived!

After all, anyone in the entire Ming Dynasty can make mistakes, but the emperor cannot, the emperor is always wise and martial, even if he makes a mistake for a while, it is because of the blindness of the villain.

And Zhao Zhenji took all the fault on himself, on the one hand, to give the emperor a step, and on the other hand, to show his loyalty to the emperor in disguise.

"Well, it's okay, since you sincerely admit your mistakes, there is no need for punishment!"

"In addition, I have an important matter for you."

Jiajing turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly.

"Weichen is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhenji forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"I will appoint you as the minister of the Imperial Mission and rush to Zhejiang to thoroughly investigate this case, what do you think?"

Jiajing's voice was not loud, but in his words, there was a little more undoubted meaning in it.

Zhao Zhenji knew that he had won the bet! The previous performance has been approved by His Majesty, and the current matter is a test for His Majesty to give himself.

If this matter is completed well, he will completely enter the emperor's field of vision and get the emperor's attention! If this matter is messed up, the emperor will also throw himself out like garbage, so as to appease the anger of many officials.

It can be said that this is a big gamble, and it is a big gamble about Zhao Zhenji's future officialdom career! The winner gets everything, the loser has nothing, and beyond that, there is no third outcome.

Zhao Zhenji's breathing gradually became short, and he was hesitating whether to accept the emperor's appointment or not! After a long time, I saw Zhao Zhenji's breathing gradually stabilized, and he said with a firm expression: "Weichen is willing to share his worries for His Majesty!" ”

"Well, in that case, go down and get ready! After the affairs of the Inspectorate are explained, let's go straight away. ”

Jiajing was not very surprised by Zhao Zhenji's choice, in his opinion, this Zhao Zhenji usually behaves quite tactfully, like a loach, and no one can be offended.

But he can more or less perceive that this Zhao Zhenji has always been holding back such a force in his heart.

A person like Zhao Zhenji, as long as he is given a suitable opportunity, he can soar into the sky! Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail, there is not only one "Zhao Zhenji" in the officialdom, but also people waiting for opportunities.

"Your Majesty, Weichen retires!"

After Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Jiajing, and then marched in the direction of the Inspectorate.

"This Zhao Zhenji is quite interesting."

Jiajing looked at the back of Zhao Zhenji leaving, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your Majesty, do you want a slave to go ......?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang on the side lowered his voice and said.

"No need, let's see how far this Zhao Zhenji can go."

"In addition, I have a handwritten letter here, and I will ask him to forward it to Hu Zongxian when the time comes."

"Your Majesty, do you need a slave to send someone to his house?"

"No need, just send it to the ship he'll be on at that time!"

Jiajing waved his hand and rejected Lu Fang's proposal.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang then bowed slightly to Jiajing and said softly.

……

As soon as Zhao Zhenji returned to the Inspectorate, the officials below surrounded him and expressed their concern.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you alright, sir?"

"My lord, is your majesty not satisfied with the progress of our work?"

Zhao Zhenji was annoyed by the noise, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, don't talk!" The official has something important to announce next. ”

Seeing that their immediate boss had something to announce, these officials stopped talking one after another and looked at Zhao Zhenji with an expectant expression.

"Ahem, this official has been appointed by His Majesty as the Minister of the Imperial Mission! A case will be investigated in the near future, and this will be left to you for the time being. ”

Zhao Zhenji said after clearing his throat.

"My lord, don't worry, during your absence, we will definitely do a good job in the work of the Inspectorate!"

"Yes, my lord, you can go with confidence and boldness! We're here and there's no way to go wrong. ”

"Yes, my lord, others can't believe us, can't you still trust us?"

Zhao Zhenji looked at his subordinates, his face was full of black lines, and then he commanded: "After the official leaves, the daily work of this inspectorate will be ......."

……

Soon, this matter was leaked out by someone, and for a while, the officials in the entire capital were in a panic!

Beijing, Yanfu.

"Father, father, something is wrong! Something is wrong! ”

After Yan Shifan learned the news, he was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he kept knocking on Yan Song's door.

"What's the matter, so noisy?"

Yan Song opened the door of the study, looked at his son, who looked extremely flustered and had a bloodless face, and said slowly.

"Father is not good, something really happened this time!"

Yan Shifan looked anxious, and kept repeating this sentence in his mouth.

"What the hell is going on, you say!"

Yan Song was also frightened by Yan Shifan's performance, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty has already learned that the policy of reducing and reducing taxes for the common people promulgated by the imperial court has never been implemented!"

"What do you say? Say it again! ”

Yan Song, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years and is unfathomable in the city, was also shocked by the news brought by his son!

Yan Song only felt dizzy in his brain, his limbs were not called, and then he fell straight back! Fortunately, Yan Shifan was quick and helped Yan Song up, otherwise, most of them would be more than lucky.

"Father, father, are you alright?"

Yan Shifan helped Yan Song up and said anxiously.

"It's okay, I'm fine, help me to bed and rest for a while."

Yan Song barely supported his body and commanded Yan Shifan.

"Go get a bowl of honey water! What are you still doing? Don't go yet! ”

After Yan Shifan helped Yan Song to the bed, he instructed the maid on the side.

"Yes, wait a minute."

After hearing Yan Shifan's command, the maid also rushed to the kitchen as fast as she could, and a moment later, a bowl of honey water was brought into the room.

"Get out of the way, let me come!"

Yan Shifan immediately snatched the bowl containing the honey water from the maid's hand, picked up the spoon, and slowly fed the honey water in the bowl to Yan Song.

"Father, are you better?"

After Yan Song drank all the honey in the bowl, Yan Shifan put the empty bowl aside and said with concern.

"Fang was just excited for a moment, and now it's fine."

Seeing that his son cared so much about him, Yan Song couldn't help but flash a trace of warmth in his heart, shook his head, and replied.
