Jiajing was a little surprised that Lu Fang came to see him so early, and immediately, he withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body and commanded instead.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's answer, Lu Fang slowly got up from the ground, and then, without waiting for Jiajing to ask, Lu Fang took the first step, took Chen Hong's confession out of his sleeve, and said respectfully to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, here is that Chen Hong's confession!"

When Jiajing heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and immediately, after looking Lu Fang up and down, he waved his hand and commanded.

"Well, in that case, bring me the confession!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, I saw Lu Fang come to Jiajing's side and hand Chen Hong's confession to Jiajing's hands.

Jiajing took the confession, immediately gathered his mind, and began to browse the content above.

Soon, Jiajing finished browsing all the contents in it, and immediately slapped the table and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, this Chen Hong is really impatient, not to mention annexing land, embezzlement and bribery, he still dares to cooperate with those ruffians and hooligans to distribute printing money to the common people!"

When Jiajing said this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang on the side and asked.

"By the way, Lu Fang, where is that Chen Hong now, I have to deal with him well!"

When Lu Fang heard this, his face was full of embarrassment, and after a long battle between heaven and man, he mustered up the courage and cautiously reported to Jiajingyu.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Chen Hong died last night because he couldn't bear the punishment in prison! ”

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing didn't show too much surprise on his face, but said calmly.

"Oh, is he dead, it looks like he's really cheap!"

Jiajing said, a look of regret appeared on his face at the right time, as if he was regretting that he could not deal with Chen Hong personally.

Seeing this, Lu Fang hurriedly stepped forward and reported to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, last night, when the slave maid sent the people from the Dongchang to investigate this Chen Hong, a total of 3.4 million taels of silver were confiscated from the various mansions he had purchased in the capital and the homes of merchants who had cooperated with him, you see......"

When Jiajing heard this, he just glanced at Lu Fang lightly, and immediately said encouragement.

"Well, Lu Fang, you've done a good job in this matter!"

"In this way, the three million and four thousand taels of silver, three million taels of silver, will be sent to the treasury, and the rest will be sent to my inner treasury!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang was overjoyed, and immediately couldn't help responding.

"Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will send someone to do it!"

After dropping this sentence, Lu Fang did not make any stop in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately took small steps and turned to leave.

Jiajing looked at the back of Lu Fang's departure, and immediately rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, for a long time, he saw Jiajing come back to his senses and muttered to himself silently.

"Heh, three million and four thousand taels of silver, what a big deal......"

……

At the same time, Jizhou, above the school field.

At this moment, Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, looked at the neatly arranged and silent soldiers in the audience, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Since the corresponding order was issued by the cabinet, he Yang Xuan has been preparing for the deployment of the army, whether it is the transfer of ordnance, grain and grass, or the distribution of soldiers' salaries, he has tried not to make any mistakes in the process.

With the vigorous assistance of Yang Bo, the Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he finally made all the preparations, and now everything is ready, and the army can rush to the Chahar Department to quell the rebellion at any time according to the plan set earlier!

In this operation, although the Ming army occupied the absolute righteousness, for the sake of conservatism, Yang Xuan still decided to personally lead more than 15,000 elite Ming troops, and the configuration of more than 15,000 Ming troops can be called luxurious.

In addition to the necessary armor and weapons, Yang Xuan also specially ordered people to bring more than a dozen new cannons that had been transported to the Jizhou front line earlier from the Ordnance Division.

Of course, the most equipped new weapon of this Ming army is the grenade, after all, this weapon has proved its value in the last battle, not only the lethality is amazing, but also very easy to carry.

After a while, I saw Yang Xuan come back to his senses, and after clearing his throat, he said loudly.

"This official is Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, presumably everyone already knows this official!"

"I gathered everyone today for just one thing, and that is to quell the rebellion from the tribe for Zasaktu Khan!"

When Yang Xuan said this, he subconsciously looked at Tumaihan on the side, and Tumai rarely had this situation, so he had no choice but to nod his head.

"It is precisely because of this that we are the teachers of justice, and we will destroy all the thieves who dare to commit rebellion for Zasaktu Khan!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

As soon as Yang Xuan's words fell, there was a deafening shouting sound from the audience, and the emotions of many soldiers in the audience were mobilized by Yang Xuan, and this wave after wave of sound shook Yang Xuan's ears.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and after looking around, he continued.

"According to the usual practice, all the soldiers who participated in this battle, your salary has been distributed in advance, and in addition, you don't have to hand over the income captured in the battle, you can keep it yourself!"

"After this official's words, do you have any comments on this?"

After Yang Xuan finished speaking, he swept his gaze from the many soldiers in the audience one by one.

After a long time, I saw Yang Xuan retract his gaze, look at the soldiers in the audience, and said loudly.

"If not, then pass on the official's order, and the army will immediately start and rush to the Chahar tribe to quell the rebellion!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, looking at the Ming army in the audience with high fighting spirit and armed to the teeth, Tumaihan's heart suddenly sank, and a trace of remorse immediately appeared.

This army of more than 15,000 Ming troops led by Yang Xuan himself, even when the tribe was at its strongest, could only barely fight, not to mention, the current tribe has fallen into a state of fragmentation because of the competition for the throne.

How could a tribe in this state be the opponent of the battle-hardened and armed Ming army in front of them?

Helpless, Tumaihan had to keep praying in his heart, hoping that when the time comes, there will be fewer victims!

……

Today, there seemed to be a lot of affairs on the cabinet side, and it wasn't until night fell that Xu Jiefang dragged his tired body back to his mansion in the capital.

As soon as he entered, the butler greeted him with a look of concern on his face.

"Master, have you been delayed by anything on the road, why did you only come back now, the little one thought it was ......"

When Xu Jie heard this, he sighed helplessly, and immediately complained.

"Alas, it's not the mess caused by His Majesty's announcement that the cabinet will add arithmetic to the imperial examination in the coming year!"

"All day today, people often come to inquire about the news, this group of fools, don't they know that there has never been room for negotiation about the things that Your Majesty has decided?"

"What's more, they actually want to jointly write a letter to persuade His Majesty to retract his order, have they forgotten the fate of Li Ding, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites not long ago?"

The more Xu Jie talked, the more angry he became, and in the process of walking to his room, he was still babbling: "What a bunch of idiots who can't support the wall with mud, so bad that I'm only home now!" ”

Seeing that Xu Jie was in a bad mood, the housekeeper also hurriedly changed the topic, only to see him take three steps and make two steps in front of Xu Jie, and said respectfully.

"Master, Tan Lun sent someone to deliver a letter!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately cheered up, glanced at the housekeeper, and immediately commanded.

"In that case, then what are you doing there, why don't you hurry up and give me the letter?"

"Yes, sir!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately took out the letter sent by Tan Lun from his sleeve and handed it over to Xu Jie's hands respectfully.

After Xu Jie took the letter from the butler's hand, he waved his hand and commanded.

"Okay, there's nothing for you here for the time being, you can go down!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said respectfully.

"Yes, sir!"

After the housekeeper left, Xu Jiefang turned his gaze to the letter sent by Tan Lun in his hand and said secretly.

"Tan Lun, don't let me down!"

With such a mood, I saw Xu Jie open the envelope in his hand and began to browse the contents on it, only to see that it was written.

"Elder Xu Ge, the letter you asked someone to send to the lower officials, the lower officials have already received it, and the matter of transferring grain to Zhejiang is an order personally issued by His Majesty, and the lower officials have nothing to do!"

"In addition, it is worth mentioning that since all the local bandits in Fujian have been exterminated, the lives of the local people in Fujian have also reached the point where they can barely survive."

"In order to consolidate the existing achievements, the lower official asks you to persuade Your Majesty to appropriately extend the period for Fujian to pay less taxes on the basis of the original!"

After Xu Jie finished reading all the contents of the letter, his face was already shrouded in infinite fear.

He never thought that it would be His Majesty's side who personally ordered Tan Lun to transfer grain to Zhejiang, but soon, Xu Jie realized the seriousness of the problem, and saw that his face was gloomy and said to himself.

"Not good, since there is a shadow of Your Majesty in the whole matter, then I sent someone to investigate this matter before, wouldn't it anger Your Majesty?"

Xu Jie continued to think along this line of thought, and the look on his face became more and more difficult to look at.

"Maybe right now, Your Majesty has received the news and is thinking about how to beat me!"

"No, I have to quickly make amends, otherwise, things will be in trouble!"

Thinking so, Xu Jie immediately spread out the pen and paper, and after writing a list, he immediately called the housekeeper and gave instructions.

"Here is the list of officials who openly oppose the new examination subjects of the imperial court today, you go and tell the royal court that you must find a way to silence the people on this list!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he respectfully took the list from Xu Jie's hand, and immediately responded.

"Yes, master, the little one will do it!"

After the housekeeper left, Xu Jiefang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately supported his forehead with his hand, and sat weakly on the chair, thinking so.

"Alas, it's been a bad year lately, not to mention the loss of the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and now there is a risk of angering Your Majesty!"

Thinking of this, Xu Jie couldn't help but start comforting himself: "But fortunately, at least it proves that Tan Lun is still loyal, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!" ”

……

On the other side, the Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and the whole person had no sorrow or joy, and fell into a mysterious state.

Everything around him, from Jiajing's point of view, became extremely slow, and correspondingly, Jiajing's perception also became extremely keen, so much so that he could even hear the secret plots of those eunuchs!

Just as Jiajing was about to withdraw from this state, suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

"Father-in-law Lu, here is the letter entrusted to Your Majesty by my family, but now it's getting late, you see ......"

"Well, our family knows, I'll personally send it to Your Majesty later!"

"Thank you Grandpa Lu, I can't thank you enough!"

"Well, let's go down and rest!"

"Thank you Grandpa Lu, thank you Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Lu, this is a small little heart, please ......"

After this, I saw Jiajing withdraw from this state, and then slowly got up from the futon, sat back on the dragon chair, and supported his chin with one hand, so thought.

"Lu Fang will send me a letter later, but who sent this letter to me, is it Hu Zongxian or Tan Lun?"

"If it's Hu Zongxian, then most of the content in the letter is related to the current situation in Zhejiang, Tan Lun's words, I don't seem to have told him to do anything recently, right?"

"This letter should have been sent to me by Hu Zongxian!"

After a while, I saw the guide eunuch enter the Qianqing Palace with silent steps, turned his gaze to Jiajing, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Lu is out asking to see you!"

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, nodded, and commanded quite casually.

"Well, I know, let him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's exact instructions, the guide eunuch did not stop in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately turned around and left.

Not long after, under the guidance of the guiding eunuch, I saw Lu Fang step into the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, he knelt on the ground with a 'plop' and said respectfully.

"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Jiajing heard this, he looked Lu Fang up and down before he spoke.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang got up from the ground, I saw Jiajing looking at Lu Fang and said slowly.

"Lu Fang, without further ado, show me the letter!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he subconsciously responded: "Obey, Your Majesty!" ”

Just as Lu Fang took the letter out of his sleeve and came to Jiajing, he suddenly reacted, his face was full of shock: "No, how did Your Majesty know that I came to deliver a letter this time?" (End of chapter)
