"Well, Huang Jin, what is he doing looking for me?"

After listening to the report of the eunuch, Jiajing suddenly flashed countless possibilities in his mind, and immediately, he saw Jiajing come back to his senses and commanded.

"Alright, let him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After listening to Jiajing's instructions, the guide eunuch quickly took the order and left, and after a while, he saw Huang Jin stepping into the Qianqing Palace.

The moment Huang Jin entered the Qianqing Palace, he subconsciously fell his eyes on Jiajing's body, and without waiting for Jiajing to ask, he knelt on the ground respectfully and said in a deep voice.

"Slave and maid knock to see Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing heard this, after looking Huang Jindu up and down, he ordered unhurriedly.

"Well, get up, Huang Jin!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's permission, Huang Jinfang slowly got up from the ground.

After that, I saw Jiajing withdraw his gaze from Huang Jin's body and asked with interest.

"Huang Jin, do you have anything to do with me?"

Huang Jin saw Jiajing asking him the reason, and responded without thinking.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid do have something important to report!"

After that, I saw Huang Jin take Yang Zongtai's official document out of his sleeve and continue to add.

"Your Majesty, this official document in the hands of the slave maid was submitted by Yang Zongtai, the prefect of Quanzhou, step by step, and the slave and maid inadvertently discovered this official document when the celebrant was approving the song, so I came to report this matter to Your Majesty!"

After Huang Jin finished speaking, he lowered his head and held the official document in his hand high above his head.

After listening to Huang Jin's report, Jiajing's face was full of doubts, and he subconsciously said, "Yang Zongtai? ”

Seeing this, Lu Fang, who was on the side, did not wait for Jiajing's instructions, and immediately stepped forward to take the official document from Huang Jin's hand, and then respectfully handed it to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

After Jiajing took the official document from Lu Fang's hand, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately browsed the content on it.

Time passed minute by minute, and Jiajing quickly read the contents of the official document from beginning to end, and the expression on his face gradually became gloomy.

I saw Jiajing put the official document in his hand aside, sneered, and then spoke.

"Okay, okay, the court gives them so much power, but they use it to make money?"

Although Jiajing's voice was the same as usual, people couldn't hear any mood fluctuations, but with Huang Jin and Lu Fang's understanding of Jiajing, they knew that the emperor was really angry now.

Seeing this, Huang Jin and Lu Fang knelt on the ground and pleaded with Jiajing.

"Please calm your majesty's anger!"

When Jiajing heard this, he glanced over Huang Jin and Lu Fang, and his tone eased a lot, and he immediately commanded.

"You two, get up, it's none of your business."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

For Jiajing's order, Huang Jin and Lu Fang did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and after the two got up from the ground, Jiajing's ancient sound sounded in the room.

"Lu Fang, you go and call Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan to me, and I want to ask them clearly in person!"

When Lu Fang heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he responded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Ever since Gao Gong had ordered someone to submit the official document to the celebrant of ceremonies, the atmosphere in the cabinet had become quite depressing.

Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan knew that no matter what, they would not be able to escape their involvement.

If these three people have to be divided, Gao Gong, as the Minister of Maritime Trade, should bear the main responsibility, while Yan Shifan, as the right governor of the Maritime Trade, is responsible for the personnel, promotion, and assessment of the Maritime Trade Division, so he should bear secondary responsibility.

Zhang Juzheng, as the left superintendent of maritime trade, is responsible for the accounts, finance, taxation, etc. of the maritime trade department, and needs to bear the least responsibility.

At this moment, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan all had sad faces, and they had no intention of dealing with these sparse performances in front of them.

At this moment, Yan Song on the side seemed to see what a few people were thinking, put the brush in his hand aside, and reminded him: "Your Majesty should let you go over later, after you see Your Majesty, you must show your attitude, otherwise, things will be in trouble!" ”

When Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong on the side heard this, a grateful look appeared on their faces at the right time, and they said respectfully.

"Thank you Yan Ge for mentioning it!"

Several people knew very well in their hearts what the attitude Yan Song was referring to, Yan Song was hinting to them that for those officials who committed crimes, they must be severely punished, and there can be no leniency!

At this moment, I heard a rush of footsteps outside the cabinet, and a servant hurriedly entered the cabinet, looked around, and reported respectfully.

"Old Yuge, Grandpa Lu is asking to see you outside!"

Hearing this, Xu Jie withdrew his gaze from the official and commanded.

"Well, let Grandpa Lu come in!"

"Yes, Elder Xu Ge!"

After receiving Xu Jie's instructions, the official did not make any stops, and immediately took the order.

After a while, I saw Lu Fang step into the cabinet under the guidance of the previous official.

Seeing Lu Fang coming, Yan Song hurriedly got up from the seat and led everyone to say hello to Lu Fang.

"I'll wait, I've seen Gonggong Lu!"

"Hmm."

Lu Fang didn't say too much greetings, but just bowed slightly to Yan Song in response.

After this, I saw Lu Fang glance over Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan, and said slowly.

"You three, come with us, Your Majesty wants to see you!"

Although the three of them had been mentally prepared before this, when this moment really came, the faces of the three of them couldn't help but show a little panic.

Immediately afterwards, after the three of them glanced at each other, they said in unison: "Yes, Gonggong Lu!" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he sighed helplessly, and then said, "Let's go, don't delay time!" ”

After Lu Fang dropped this sentence, he turned around and left, and when Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan saw this situation, they hurriedly followed Lu Fang's footsteps.

Along the way, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan were all quite worried, and they didn't know what was waiting for them next.

And Lu Fang seemed to sense what the three of them were thinking, and suddenly stopped, seeing that there was no one around, before turning around and lowering his voice: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty was very angry after learning about this, you should pay more attention when you see Your Majesty later!" ”

After listening to Lu Fang's reminder, a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on the faces of the three of them, and they responded respectfully: "Thank you Gonggong Lu for mentioning it!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Fang withdrew his gaze from the three of them, and said slowly: "Let's go, let's not let Your Majesty wait too long!" ”

……

"You wait here, I'll go in and report to Your Majesty!"

After leading Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifeng Na to the established place, Lu Fang turned around and admonished the three of them.

"There's Father-in-law Laolu!"

Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly saluted Lu Fang respectfully.

When Lu Fang heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and then turned around and left, heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

After Lu Fang left, Yan Shifan looked at the ground casually and said slowly: "You say, what will Your Majesty do with us later?" ”

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng couldn't answer Yan Shifan's question, so they chose to remain silent.

At this moment, a shrill voice sounded, interrupting everyone's thoughts: "Xuan, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan are here!" ”
