When Zhao Zhenji learned the news of Lu Fang's personal visit from his subordinates, he couldn't help but let out a 'groan' in his heart, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.

The last time Lu Fang visited in person, it was to let himself be the minister of the Qin Mission, and rushed to Zhejiang to investigate the case!

"Could it be that something happened again?"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, and immediately instructed his subordinates to greet Lu Fang, who was waiting outside, into the Inspectorate respectfully.

"Xia Guan has seen Gonggong Lu!"

The moment he saw Lu Fang, Zhao Zhenji took the lead and saluted him respectfully.

"Hmm."

Lu Fang just glanced at Zhao Zhenji rather indifferently, and then continued.

"Lord Zhao, come with our family, Your Majesty wants to see you in person!"

Zhao Zhenji heard the meaning that could not be denied in Lu Fang's words, plucked up his courage, and asked him.

"Father-in-law Lu, please forgive the officials for daring to ask why His Majesty summoned the officials this time?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang looked Zhao Zhenji up and down, and only then did he explain because of his usual filial piety.

"Specifically, it's related to the Henan side."

As soon as Lu Fang's words fell, Zhao Zhenji recalled the impeachment note submitted from Henan in his mind.

After a long time, I saw him turn his gaze to Lu Fang, his expression frightened, and he trembled.

"Father-in-law Lu, it's hard to ...... Does it have something to do with that? ”

Seeing this, Lu Fang didn't say much, but nodded silently.

After getting the exact answer from Lu Fang, Zhao Zhenji's face turned pale in an instant, and he kept muttering.

"Yes...... However, this ......"

Lu Fang seemed to see Zhao Zhenji's doubts, and immediately explained.

"This matter was poked out by my godson Feng Bao."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang took in the shocked look on Zhao Zhenji's face and said slowly.

"Lord Zhao, don't waste time, let's go!"

"Yes, Grandpa Lu."

After Zhao Zhenji replied weakly, he followed Lu Fang's steps and embarked on the road to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

……

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has arrived!"

After Lu Fang brought Zhao Zhenji to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he came to Jiajing's side and reminded him.

"Yes, I see."

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded, and put aside the music in his hand.

And it just so happened that Lu Fang glimpsed through the peripheral vision of his eyes that the note in Jiajing's hand was the impeachment note handed over by Liu Yuan, the envoy of Henan.

Lu Fang withdrew his gaze without a trace, although he did not show anything unusual on his face, he had already set off an uproar in his heart.

"Could it be that before this, His Majesty had been watching this impeachment letter?"

"If that's the case, it's a big deal!"

Next, I saw Zhao Zhenji kneeling on the ground respectfully and saluting Jiajing.

"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Jiajing's tone was quite flat, and he waved his hand and commanded.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Zhenji responded, he slowly got up from the ground, perhaps because he was too afraid, Zhao Zhenji's body actually began to tremble uncontrollably!

And this scene was naturally seen by Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

I saw Jiajing raise his eyebrows, turn his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, and ask instead.

"Zhao Zhenji, I haven't asked you yet, what are you shaking?"

Jiajing deliberately paused for a moment before continuing.

"Could it be that you have done something bad and can't let me know?"

Hearing Jiajing's heart-wrenching words, Zhao Zhenji's body trembled even more seriously, and then, I saw him kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', his face full of fear, and explained to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Wei ...... Wechen was just intimidated by His Majesty's majesty! ”

Regarding Zhao Zhenji's statement full of loopholes, Jiajing naturally didn't believe it.

However, Jiajing didn't dwell too much on this, only to see him turn his gaze to Lu Fang on the side, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Lu Fang, show this impeachment letter to Zhao Zhenji!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he took the letter and immediately came to Zhao Zhenji, and handed over the impeachment to Zhao Zhenji.

After Zhao Zhenji finished reading the content of the impeachment recital, his brain crashed instantly, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to tremble.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this ......"

Jiajing turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

"Zhao Zhenji, as the superintendent of the imperial history, how should you explain this impeachment note?"

Sensing the emperor's seemingly absent gaze, Zhao Zhenji knew that if he couldn't answer this question well today, he would probably have to explain it here.

Then, I saw Zhao Zhenji gritting his teeth and explaining to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has been busy collecting evidence about land annexation recently!"

"From beginning to end, Wechen has never seen this impeachment letter!"

"Otherwise, Wechen will definitely hand it over to you as soon as possible."

When Jiajing heard Zhao Zhenji mention the land annexation, he couldn't help but be interested and asked instead.

"Oh, Zhao Zhenji, since you said that you have been busy collecting evidence about land annexation recently, I ask you, how are you collecting?"

In the face of Jiajing's questioning, Zhao Zhenji did not dare to hide anything, and immediately told everything he knew so far.

"Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, the most serious land annexation at present is still in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

Zhao Zhenji paused when he said this, and then continued.

"Jiaxing Yuan's family, 200,000 mu, Qiantang Xu's family, 180,000 mu, Yuyao Yu's family, 170,000 mu, and ...... And ......"

When Zhao Zhenji said this, his face was full of hesitation, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Seeing this, Jiajing frowned slightly, and then spoke.

"What are you afraid of, keep talking, I'm here to support you!"

Jiajing's words, without a doubt, gave Zhao Zhenji the confidence to continue to speak.

Then, I saw Zhao Zhenji pluck up his courage, turned his gaze to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice.

"Also...... Also, Songjiang Xujia, 280,000 acres! ”

Hearing this, Jiajing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he confirmed to Zhao Zhenji.

"You mean, Xu Jie's family annexed 280,000 acres of land?"

Silence, dead silence!

Faced with Jiajing's question, Zhao Zhenji seemed to have lost his mind and froze in place.

But sometimes, silence also represents an answer.

Time passed slowly, and in the end, it was Jiajing who spoke up and broke the silence.

"Zhao Zhenji, you can't mention this matter in front of anyone in the future, understand?"

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, his expression turned grim, and he immediately said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang, who was waiting beside Jiajing, knew that the emperor had already kept this matter in mind, and maybe when, he would turn this matter over and catch everyone off guard!

Then, I saw Jiajing change his words, bring things back on track, and ask Zhao Zhenji.

"Zhao Zhenji, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment of silence, he gave his own proposal.

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, the matter of storing grain in the granary should indeed be strictly investigated!"

"If this matter is in charge of Wechen, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of those people, so Wechen wants to recommend someone to His Majesty."

"Who?"

"Hai Jui."
