Chapter 505: I, Zhao Zhenji, the Great Commander of the Frontier
It's a pity that before Zhao Zhenji could enjoy it for long, there was a knock on the door from outside the door.
Zhao Zhenji endured the impatience in his heart, with a gloomy face, and turned to speak.
"Didn't the official say before, don't come and disturb the official if there's nothing to do, come in!"
When the words fell, I saw a servant walk in uneasily, bowed to the ground, and reported to Zhao Zhenji.
"Big ...... My lord, Grandpa Lu is waiting outside, saying that he is looking for you to discuss something important! ”
When Zhao Zhenji heard this, his face was full of panic, and he immediately got up from the seat and commanded.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you invite Gonggong Lu over to this official!"
"Yes...... Yes, adults, let's go! ”
After answering the call, the official did not dare to hesitate in the slightest, and quickly left the room.
Looking at the back of the official leaving, Zhao Zhenji's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Father-in-law Lu came to this official so early, is something wrong?"
"Or is there something important on His Majesty's side that I need to do?"
Just as Zhao Zhenji was still racking his brains to think about the purpose of Lu Fang's trip, his eyes accidentally glanced at the idle book on the table next to him.
Immediately, I saw Zhao Zhenji react consciously and subconsciously spoke.
"Not good, book!"
Taking advantage of the gap before Lu Fang arrived, Zhao Zhenji decisively put the book back in its place, and not long after, only to hear a sound of footsteps outside the door, the previous official entered the room and reported to Zhao Zhenji quite respectfully.
"My lord, Grandpa Lu has arrived!"
"Well, the official knows, you go down!"
When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he waved his hand quite casually and instructed the official.
After the official left, Zhao Zhenji immediately stepped forward, arched his hand to Lu Fang, and said respectfully.
"Xia Guan has seen Gonggong Lu!"
"Hmm."
At this moment, Lu Fang's face was still the same as usual, with a warm smile, which made people feel good.
After that, the two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, and in the end, Zhao Zhenji still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked Lu Fang.
"Father-in-law Lu, dare to ask why you came this time?"
When Lu Fang heard this, he looked Zhao Zhenji up and down before giving an unhurried response.
"Our family came here this time to follow His Majesty's will, Lord Zhao, let's go with our family!"
As soon as Lu Fang's words fell, countless thoughts flashed in Zhao Zhenji's heart.
"Sure enough, Grandpa Lu received His Majesty's will, but what was it that made Grandpa Lu come to the Inspectorate early in the morning?"
"Is it the leakage of the list of officials in the upper echelons this time, or is it the matter related to land annexation that was mentioned in front of His Majesty last time?"
The more Zhao Zhenji thought about it, the more panicked he felt, and a tangled look appeared on his face.
Lu Fang on the side took in the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face, and then, perhaps to dispel Zhao Zhenji's inner concerns, he saw Lu Fang turn around and explain with a smile.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhao, this is a great thing!"
When Zhao Zhenji heard this, the tangled look on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a face full of incredulity.
Perhaps because he was too excited, Zhao Zhenji brought a little trilling when he spoke, only to see him pluck up his courage and confirm to Lu Fang.
"Father-in-law Lu, what you just said, is it true?"
When Lu Fang heard this, he glanced at Zhao Zhenji helplessly, and cut it to the ground.
"Of course it's true, okay, don't waste time, come with our family, don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry!"
"Yes, Grandpa Lu!"
After this, Zhao Zhenji did not hesitate at all, followed Lu Fang's steps, and marched towards the Qianqing Palace where Jiajing was located.
……
"You wait here for a while, I'll go and report to Your Majesty!"
Outside the Qianqing Palace, I saw Lu Fang pause, turned around, and said to Zhao Zhenji behind him.
When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses and said respectfully to Lu Fang.
"Father-in-law Lu, please!"
"Hmm."
After Lu Fang replied imperceptibly, he quickly withdrew his gaze, took a steady step, and stepped on the stairs of the Qianqing Palace.
Zhao Zhenji looked at Lu Fang's departing back, his face was full of excitement, along the way, he was thinking, what did His Majesty summon him at this time?
Combined with what Lu Fang had said before, this time is a great thing, all of a sudden, in Zhao Zhenji's heart, such a thought appeared coldly.
"I, Zhao Zhenji, shouldn't be promoted?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji began to unconsciously think of the next meeting with the emperor in his mind.
At this moment, only a shrill voice sounded in Zhao Zhenji's ears, pulling it back to reality.
"What are you doing there, why don't you hurry up and go in with our family to meet Your Majesty?"
When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Lu Fang, who appeared in front of him at some point, and hurriedly responded.
"Yes...... Yes...... There's Father-in-law Laolu! ”
After that, Zhao Zhenji, under the leadership of Lu Fang, stepped on the stairs of the Qianqing Palace.
After entering the Qianqing Palace, I saw Lu Fang turn his gaze to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and report respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has arrived!"
"Hmm."
After Lu Fang finished reporting to Jiajing, he came to Jiajing's side and stood still, as usual.
After that, Zhao Zhenji only felt that there was a gaze that seemed to be nothing, which fell on him, and he quickly reacted, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said in a deep voice.
"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Zhao Zhenji's body and commanded rather lazily.
"Well, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After getting Jiajing's answer, Zhao Zhenji slowly got up from the ground, at this moment, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and he was quite looking forward to what was going on.
And Jiajing had no intention of going around the bend with Zhao Zhenji, and after looking Zhao Zhenji up and down, he asked.
"Zhao Zhenji, presumably before coming, Lu Fang had already told you roughly, right?"
When Zhao Zhenji heard Jiajing's words, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses and responded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, before coming, Gonggong Lu had already roughly explained the situation to Weichen!"
After getting an exact answer from Zhao Zhenji, Jiajing also nodded, and the look on his face became extremely serious.
"Okay, since Lu Fang has already explained the general situation to you before this, then I won't go around in circles with you."
"Would you like to go to Zhejiang and serve as the governor of Zhejiang?"
Zhao Zhenji obviously didn't expect to hear such a powerful question from the emperor's mouth, and because he was so shocked, Zhao Zhenji's brain went down for a moment.
"I ...... I...... I heard me right, Your Majesty actually asked me if I would like to go to Zhejiang to serve as the governor of Zhejiang? ”
"You know, Hu Zongxian is deeply favored by His Majesty, could it be said that His Majesty intends to transfer Hu Zongxian back to the capital to serve in the near future, and at that time, I will take over Hu Zongxian's position?"
"In other words, next, I, Zhao Zhenji, will be a veritable feudal official!"
I don't know how long time has passed, but I saw Zhao Zhenji come back to his senses and confirm to Jiajing nervously.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to let Weichen take Hu Zongxian's place?"
