Chapter 309: The news spreads
Soon, the palace where the emperor lived was struck by lightning, and he went away.
But fortunately, Jinyiwei's timely action prevented the news from spreading further!
However, people like Yan Song, Xu Jie, and others learned the news as soon as possible.
The moment they learned the news, they were very anxious to take a sedan chair and rush to the Forbidden City to meet Jiajing.
The Forbidden City, not far from the Palace of Nourishing Heart, in a side hall.
"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are asking to see each other outside!"
I saw Lu Fang take a step forward and remind.
"Oh, what are the two of them doing here, are they worried about my safety?"
"Well, let the two of them in!"
After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing put down the formation cheats in his hand, and immediately waved his hand, so he commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Lu Fang responded, he left the room directly.
On the steps outside the hall, Yan Song and Xu were anxiously waiting for news, and when they saw Lu Fang's figure appear, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted them.
Yan Song couldn't bear it, and took the lead in asking Lu Fang so.
"Gonggong Lu, how is the situation on Your Majesty's side?"
Hearing this, Lu Fang immediately lowered his voice and responded.
"Elder Yan Ge, you can rest assured, Your Majesty's side is fine, but the Heart Cultivation Palace's side can't live for the time being."
"I don't know what's going on, suddenly there was thunder and lightning, and it is said that there were eunuchs who saw more than a dozen lightning falling at the same time!"
When Lu Fang said this, he seemed to recall the scene at that time, and his face was full of palpitations.
After listening to Lu Fang's narration, Xu Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he saw him turn his gaze to Yan Song on the side and said in a deep voice.
"What do the officials of Qin Tianjian do to eat, the imperial court spends so much silver every year to support them, is it just to let them look at the stars?"
"It's a waste to not even do such a trivial thing as predicting the weather!"
"When I see Your Majesty later, I must ask Your Majesty to come forward and clean up this group of corpse vegetarian guys.
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Yan Song on the side, and asked instead.
"Elder Yan Ge, what do you think?"
After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song pondered for a moment and immediately gave an answer.
"Well, Elder Xu Ge has a point, the group of officials in Qin Tianjian are tired and treacherous, so they should clean up well!"
Seeing this, Lu Fang on the side couldn't help but remind.
"Let's go in first, don't let Your Majesty wait too long!"
Hearing Lu Fang's reminder, Yan Song and Xu Jie reacted and hurriedly thanked Lu Fang.
"Thank you father-in-law for the reminder!"
After the two finished speaking, they followed Lu Fang's steps and stepped on the steps.
After entering the hall, Lu Fang reported respectfully to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge have arrived!"
After Lu Fang finished speaking, he stood beside Jiajing as usual.
"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Then, I saw Yan Song and Xu Jie kneeling tremblingly on the ground and saluting Jiajing.
"Well, you two get up!"
It wasn't until this moment that Yan Song and Xu Jie's hanging hearts relaxed.
"Great, Your Majesty is fine!"
Immediately, the two suppressed the chaotic thoughts in their hearts and said in unison.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
I saw Jiajing sweep his gaze over Yan Song and Xu Jie one by one, and asked with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, you two should still be grounded at home, right?"
Hearing this, the expressions on Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces suddenly froze, and they responded hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen was too worried about His Majesty's safety after learning the news, so he ......"
Jiajing took in the expressions on Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces, nodded, and immediately spoke.
"Well, I am very glad that you two were able to come over to see me, not bad!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Yan Song and Xu Jie knew very well in their hearts that they had come to the right place this time!
Immediately, I saw the two of them holding a virtuous posture of worrying about the king, kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', and begged Jiajing.
"For the sake of Your Majesty's dragon body, Weichen implores Your Majesty to renovate the palace!"
After listening to Yan Song and Xu Jie's request, Jiajing nodded and immediately ordered.
"This temple definitely needs to be repaired."
"Right now, a big hole has been split out of the Heart Nourishing Hall where I live, and it can't be inhabited for the time being."
"That's it, Yan Song, after you come down later, you go and ask the Ministry of Industry to issue a corresponding report, and see how much silver it will cost to completely restore the Heart Cultivation Palace!"
After listening to Jiajing's words, Yan Song looked hesitant.
And Jiajing naturally sensed that something was wrong with Yan Song, and asked instead.
"Yan Song, do you have any questions?"
"Your Majesty, the repair of the palace that Weichen just mentioned is also included in the West Garden!"
In the face of Jiajing's inquiry, Yan Song did not dare to conceal it in the slightest, so he responded.
Then, I saw Jiajing raise his eyebrows, and immediately confirmed to Yan Song.
"Xiyuan?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Weichen wants is to take this opportunity to repair it together with the West Garden!"
Seeing this, Yan Song responded in a deep voice.
I saw Jiajing shake his head and reject Yan Song's proposal.
"No need, Xiyuan, just let it remain the way it is, and when the time is ripe in the future, we will repair it!"
"If it is repaired together with the West Garden, it will cost at least tens of millions of taels of silver, and there are many places where silver needs to be used in the future, so it is good to save some flowers."
Seeing that the emperor rejected his proposal, Yan Song no longer mentioned the matter, and immediately said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Alright, you two get up!"
I saw Jiajing wave his hand quite casually and commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Yan Song and Xu Jie glanced at each other before slowly getting up from the ground.
Then, Xu Jie stood up and asked Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to implore Your Majesty to deal with those officials of Qin Tianjian!"
Jiajing was quite puzzled by Xu Jie's sudden request to him, and immediately asked.
"Oh, why is that?"
Xu Jie paused, and then responded in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, for what is happening right now, Qin Tianjian has an unshirkable responsibility!"
"It is precisely because the officials of the Qin Tianjian are lazy and tired and fail to accurately predict the weather changes that this has led to such consequences."
"Therefore, Weichen implores Your Majesty to deal with these officials of Qin Tianjian strictly, so as to set an example!"
As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Yan Song on the side also added.
"Yes, Your Majesty, now that this kind of thing is happening, Qin Tianjian has an unshirkable responsibility!"
"It was precisely because of their negligence that the Heart Cultivation Hall where Your Majesty lived was struck by lightning and destroyed!"
After patiently listening to Yan Song and Xu Jie's speeches, Jiajing couldn't help but say to himself.
"These two old things, why are they suddenly wearing a pair of pants?"
Immediately, I saw Jiajing suppress his inner thoughts, waved his hand quite casually, and commanded.
"The weather is unpredictable, and it's not something that ordinary people can control."
"That's it, fine them for half a month, and then reprimand them!"
After Xu Jie listened to the emperor's instructions, the whole person looked quite angry, and immediately spoke.
"But Your Majesty, this ......"
"Forget it, when it comes to this matter, you can't completely blame them, it should be regarded as a lesson to Qin Tianjian."
"If you dare to make such a mistake next time, according to what Xu Ge said, deal with it strictly and severely!"
Jiajing took in the expression on Xu Jie's face, and immediately commanded rather casually.
Seeing that the emperor had already made a decision, Xu Jie and Yan Song did not dare to raise any more objections, so they had to bow their heads and say yes.
"By the way, Yan Song, how is the design of the flag that I told you earlier?"
When Yan Song heard this, his expression immediately turned grim and he responded.
"Your Majesty, the flag has been redesigned according to your orders!"
"Well, when the time comes, find a time and let Yan Shifan show it to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
