Chapter 277: The Emperor's Orders
Zhao Zhenji saw that the emperor showed a slightly impatient look, and after calming down his good mood, he immediately chose to get to the point.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to recommend someone to you."
"Oh, who is it?"
Although Jiajing was very aware of this, he still put on a very interested look.
"Your Majesty, the person that Weichen wants to recommend to Your Majesty is the magistrate of Chun'an County, Zhejiang, Hai Rui!"
After Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, he didn't wait for Jiajing to react, and then added.
"Your Majesty, according to the visit and investigation of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, and Weichen, this Hai Rui is a rare Qing official in my Ming Dynasty!"
"Be honest and self-controlled, not to mention being able to ......"
Before Zhao Zhenji's words were finished, he was interrupted impatiently by Jiajing waving his hand.
"Okay, okay, I know."
"In that case, why didn't this Hai Jui come with you?"
When Zhao Zhenji heard what Jiajing said, he immediately looked stunned and responded cautiously.
"Your Majesty, this Hai Rui has no place to stay in the capital!"
"Before this, Wechen had let him temporarily move to the vacant mansion that Wechen had vacant."
After listening to Zhao Zhenji's answer, Jiajing said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, that's it, let this Hai Rui temporarily serve in your inspectorate!"
Zhao Zhenji saw that his goal was so easily achieved, and his face was full of excitement that he couldn't hide, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"Weichen, thank you Your Majesty for your success!"
Jiajing took in the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then ordered.
"By the way, there is another official here who will serve in your Inspectorate."
"Please speak up, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Zhenji's expression became more and more respectful, and then responded.
"Do you remember the official who presented me with the Letter of Congratulations to the East Palace?"
Jiajing turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, raised an eyebrow, and then asked.
"The Book of Congratulations in the East Palace?"
Hearing what Jiajing said, Zhao Zhenji immediately fell into deep thought.
For a long time, Zhao Zhenji seemed to remember something, his face was full of fear, and he mustered up the courage to confirm to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, are you talking about the official named Tang Shunzhi? ”
Seeing that Zhao Zhenji had successfully guessed the exact candidate, Jiajing couldn't help but feel good, nodded and responded.
"Well, that's right, it's this Tang Shunzhi, I plan to transfer him back to the capital to take up his post!"
"This Tang Shunzhi will work with Hai Rui in your inspectorate, you should know what to do, right?"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he took his eyes off Zhao Zhenji's body and pointed out.
And Zhao Zhenji did not immediately answer Jiajing's words, but repeatedly chewed on the meaning contained in Jiajing's words.
"Your Majesty mean, let me take good care of these two, or something else?"
"These two seem to be on His Majesty's side, no matter what, it's right to be careful!"
"Tang Shunzhi can understand, Hai Rui is just a small magistrate, how can he ...... on His Majesty's side"
Soon, Zhao Zhenji suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and answered to Jiajing in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys!"
Seeing that the matter had been partially settled, Jiajing was in a good mood, and then picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said slowly.
"Previously, Elder Xu Ge proposed to me that after you come back from Zhejiang, you will officially start rectifying the ...... of the officials."
Time passed like this, minute by minute, and when Zhao Zhenji came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, there was no longer a relieved expression on his face after completing the task, and his face was full of solemnity.
There is no other reason, the emperor wants to take the opportunity of rectifying the rule of officials to kill chickens and monkeys.
When the time comes, the inspectorate where he is located, without accident, will become the center of the whirlpool!
"Alas, it's difficult to do things now, and if you're not careful, you'll have to offend Yan Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao."
I saw Zhao Zhenji sigh helplessly, and then left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
……
Since they were separated from Zhao Zhenji, the top boss, on the dock, Hai Rui and his wife Wang were taken by Zhao Zhenji's subordinates to a relatively secluded mansion in the capital.
The mansion is surrounded by greenery, which is quite eye-catching, and there are two statues of stone lions standing at the door, which is quite majestic.
Hearing only a 'squeak', the door of the mansion was pushed open, and the subordinates Zhao Zhenji had ordered earlier turned around and said this to Hai Rui.
"My lord, this is it."
"Hey~ Is this really where we can live?"
Hai Rui's wife, Wang, couldn't help but gasp and hesitate after seeing the decoration of this mansion.
"yes, this mansion is too ......"
Before Hai Rui's words were finished, the subordinates who had been instructed by Zhao Zhenji earlier began to carry their luggage into the room.
When Hai Rui and his wife Wang saw this, they wanted to come forward to help, but they got such a response.
"My lord, you don't have to do it yourself, just watch from the side!"
Seeing this, Hai Rui had to stand in place, watching these subordinates carry all their luggage into the mansion.
The efficiency of these subordinates was very fast, and it was not long before all the luggage was moved.
"My lord, we're leaving!"
After the luggage was carried away, these subordinates did not stop at all, and immediately said goodbye to Hai Rui.
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
Seeing this, Hai Rui withdrew his gaze from these subordinates and said slowly.
"Where, this is what we should do!"
In order not to disturb Hai Rui's rest, after a few words of greeting, these subordinates left the mansion where Hai Rui and his wife currently live, and also took the door with them.
It wasn't until all these subordinates left that Hai Rui's wife, Wang, looked like she had just woken up from a dream.
I saw him turn his gaze to Hai Rui and said in a trembling voice.
"This ...... Is this really the place we can live? ”
"This is the capital, a place where every inch of land is valuable!"
Hai Rui, on the other hand, was much calmer, only to see him withdraw his gaze from the decoration of the room, and then comforted.
"It's okay, if you come, you will be safe!"
"When the time comes for my husband to settle down, we'll move out of here."
After hearing these words, Hai Rui's wife, Wang, was also a lot more relieved, and then turned her eyes to Hai Rui and commanded.
"Well, let's start tidying up now! I think we're going to have to live here for a long time. ”
"yes, okay."
Faced with his wife's request, Hai Rui quickly joined the queue to clean up the room after answering the call.
……
And after Zhao Zhenji came out of the Heart Nourishing Palace, he didn't rush home, but went to the Inspectorate by the way!
He wanted to see what the Inspectorate was like in his absence in recent days.
The guards on the side saw Zhao Zhenji coming, and just wanted to go in to report, but were stopped by Zhao Zhenji.
I saw Zhao Zhenji make a silent movement, and then came to the door and listened carefully.
"My lord, what should be done with these impeachment notes?"
"The old rule, just pile it up in the corner, and look at it tomorrow!"
"But my lord, this corner is almost overwhelmed."
"If you can't pile it, you won't pile it in another place? How stupid! ”
"My lord, the lower officials are worried, if Lord Yushi comes back from Zhejiang, how should we explain?"
"Don't worry, Lord Yushi won't be able to come back for a while, we have time."
