Chapter 506: Let me Zhao Zhenji, come and fight with you!

Jiajing saw that Zhao Zhenji looked cowering and didn't dare to confirm, so he shook his head helplessly and commanded in a deep voice.

"Well, Zhao Zhenji, you heard it right, I just plan to let you take Hu Zongxian's position and serve as the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang!"

Seeing that this matter was personally confirmed by the emperor, the hanging stone in Zhao Zhenji's heart finally fell to the ground.

At this time, Zhao Zhenji had fallen into a trance, after all, everything in front of him was too beautiful, which made him doubt that he was dreaming.

In order to verify the authenticity, I saw Zhao Zhenji relentlessly, and pinched the flesh on the back of his hand hard, and then, the pain from the back of his hand told him all the time that all this in front of him was true!

Jiajing saw that Zhao Zhenji hadn't responded for a long time, so he couldn't help but urge.

"Zhao Zhenji, I ask you, would you like to go to Zhejiang to take Hu Zongxian's place?"

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, knelt on the ground quite solemnly, and after bowing three times, he said in a deep voice.

"Wechen is willing to share his worries for His Majesty!"

Seeing that Zhao Zhenji agreed to this errand, a relieved expression suddenly appeared on Jiajing's face, and he immediately spoke.

"Well, that's good!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhenji carefully considered the language in his mind before he mustered up the courage and asked Jiajing.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, when will Weichen go to Zhejiang to take office?"

Hearing this, Jiajing responded after a moment of silence.

"Don't worry for the time being, I plan to wait for the time being, after the mulberry seedlings over there in Zhejiang are completely mature, I will transfer Hu Zongxian back to the capital to take up his post, and at that time, you will officially take office!"

"But before that, you have to coordinate the rest of the work in the Inspectorate, and there must be no mistakes, understand?"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Zhao Zhenji responded without thinking: "Obey, Your Majesty!" ”

After this, Zhao Zhenji began to calculate the specific date in his heart: "In another month or two, the mulberry seedlings over there in Zhejiang will be completely mature, that is to say, there is not much time left for me, I have to complete the corresponding handover as soon as possible!" ”

When he thought of this, Zhao Zhenji suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a question that he had ignored earlier also resurfaced in his mind.

"Having said that, there are so many available talents in the imperial court right now, and there are countless officials who are good at governing places, why did Your Majesty let me take over Hu Zongxian's position?"

"This matter involves the appointment of the feudal officials, logically speaking, shouldn't it be up to Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge to recommend the corresponding candidates to His Majesty, and after discussion, it can be determined?"

"Whether it's the ability to govern the place, or other aspects, I don't seem to be the best candidate, but why did Your Majesty choose me, is it possible, what other reasons are there in between?"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, and the excitement of being appointed as the official of the frontier quickly dissipated, and was replaced by endless hesitation.

After fighting between heaven and man for a long time in his mind, Zhao Zhenji finally decided to ask Jiajing to understand the reason for the matter.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Zhenji turned his gaze to Jiajing and asked tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a doubt, and please ask Your Majesty to answer it for Weichen!"

Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard this, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, but soon, Jiajing seemed to suddenly think of something, and the whole person suddenly understood and said slowly.

"Zhao Zhenji, if you have any questions, just ask them!"

Seeing that Jiajing agreed to his request, Zhao Zhenji finished sorting out the language in his mind before he spoke.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that whether it is the ability to govern the local area or other aspects, Weichen does not seem to be the best candidate, in this case, why do you want Weichen to go to Zhejiang to take over Hu Zongxian's position?"

Lu Fang, who had been waiting beside Jiajing, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this.

"Such a keen insight, this Zhao Zhenji actually sensed the key to the matter so quickly!"

After listening to Zhao Zhenji's doubts, the expression on Jiajing's face did not change much, and after looking Zhao Zhenji up and down, he said to himself.

"Zhao Zhenji, you should know that the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang will be completely mature in a month or two at most, right?"

Zhao Zhenji saw Jiajing mention this matter again, and the puzzle on his face was even worse, and he said secretly: "Why did Your Majesty mention this matter, don't you know about this matter, both the government and the opposition?" ”

But soon, Zhao Zhenji keenly grasped the key to it: "Yes, that's right, the government and the opposition all know that the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang will mature in a month or two!" ”

"Before this, Your Majesty personally said that he wanted to buy raw silk from those Sannons at a high price, is it possible, is it referring to this aspect of things?"

Jiajing took in the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face, nodded imperceptibly, and then continued.

"Zhao Zhenji, you're right, not long ago, I got the news that someone in the DPRK wants to take advantage of the maturity of the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang to buy raw silk from those mulberry farmers at a low price, so as to grab huge profits!"

"After thinking about it, I finally decided that you would take over Hu Zongxian's position, after all, you are the most suitable candidate!"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Zhao Zhenji also quickly understood Jiajing's intentions.

"It turns out that the reason why His Majesty asked me to go to Zhejiang to take over Hu Zongxian's position is because on weekdays, I try to remain as neutral as possible, and I never attach myself to any faction between the Yan Party or the Qingliu!"

"Since Your Majesty has learned that some people in the DPRK want to take this opportunity to buy raw silk from those Sannons at a low price, you will definitely take precautions."

"But what is helpless is that most of the officials in the DPRK are more or less inextricably linked with Yan Dang or Qingliu."

"It is precisely because of this that His Majesty chose me from so many suitable candidates!"

After thinking about all this, the depression in Zhao Zhenji's heart disappeared, and the expression on his face became relaxed.

Immediately, I saw Zhao Zhenji take a deep breath, and after calming down, he promised Jiajing: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen already knows what to do next!" ”

Seeing this, Jiajing's face couldn't help but flash a hint of relief, waved his hand, and commanded.

"Well, I am very glad that you have this heart!"

"In this way, when the time comes, if you encounter any unsolvable problems in Zhejiang, you can write directly to me!"

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, as if he was frightened, his breath suddenly suffocated, and he fell into shock, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Zhao Zhenji was not the only one who was shocked by this incident, even Lu Fang on the side was quite surprised by this.

After all, this is the power that can directly bypass the cabinet and the celebrant and directly present it to the emperor, and in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who have this power!

As far as Lu Fang knows, the current person who has this power, in addition to Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun, Zhao Zhenji is the third.

This shows how much your Majesty attaches importance to this matter!

Immediately, I saw Zhao Zhenji come back to his senses, turn his gaze to Jiajing, and said in a deep voice.

"Weichen is determined to be His Majesty's liver and brain, and he will never give up!"

Jiajing was noncommittal about Zhao Zhenji's promise, and responded imperceptibly, and then commanded.

"I have more things to attend to, you can leave!"

Seeing that Jiajing had issued an order to expel guests, Zhao Zhenji had no reason to continue to stay in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately, he saw him bowing to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Zhenji left, Lu Fang on the side turned to Jiajing and raised doubts.

"Your Majesty, after Zhao Zhenji goes to Zhejiang to take up his post, the position of supervising the imperial history will be vacant, in case the time comes, ......"

Hearing this, Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang and said unhurriedly.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, this position vacated by Zhao Zhenji, I plan to let Tang Shunzhi take over!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Fang to respond, he continued to add.

"This Tang Shunzhi is honest and self-controlled, not afraid of authority, just suitable for this position, after he finishes compiling the arithmetic textbook, I will let him prepare in advance, and at that time, he will take over Zhao Zhenji's position smoothly!"

"I estimate that the compilation of arithmetic textbooks should be a matter of the next few days!"

After listening to Jiajing's watertight arrangement, Lu Fang's face suddenly showed a little shame, and he unconsciously lowered his head and spoke.

"It seems that the slave maid is abrupt, it turns out that His Majesty has already made all the arrangements!"

When Jiajing heard this, he withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body and spoke instead.

"Lu Fang, it's excellent that you can have this heart, why do you say it abruptly?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Zhenji came out of the Qianqing Palace, he looked at the scenery in the distance, and at this moment, his whole person was filled with a heroic feeling.

Thinking that he would soon become a veritable feudal official, with great power in his hands, the corners of Zhao Zhenji's mouth unconsciously rose.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that I, Zhao Zhenji, would have such a day, and in another month or two, I, Zhao Zhenji, will be worthy of the name, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang!"

"Maybe Your Majesty's visit is to let me accumulate experience in governing the place, so that I can be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and in time, maybe I, Zhao Zhenji, will also enter the cabinet one day!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji's heart was full of heat, and he saw him subconsciously clenching his fists and muttering to himself silently.

"But before that, I have to show some results and convince Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhenji knew very well in his heart that it was actually a great risk for him to be sent to Zhejiang this time to take over Hu Zongxian's position.

Because at present, there are already many officials in the DPRK and China who want to take this opportunity to buy raw silk at a low price from the Sannong in Zhejiang.

As the new governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, if he can't handle this matter well, it will easily leave a bad impression on His Majesty that he is ineffective.

"Hmph, for the sake of my Zhao Zhenji's future, none of you should think about fighting those Sannong ideas in Zhejiang!"

"Just let me Zhao Zhenji, come and fight with you!"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, his face was full of determination, and he immediately walked towards the Inspectorate with a steady pace.

……

Shandong, Jinan Prefecture, Licheng County.

Since Jiajing's order was issued last time, Jinyiwei's side also quickly sent a team of Jinyiwei to Jinan Prefecture and Licheng County, Shandong Province, to assist Hai Rui in investigating the case.

After several days of starry night travel, this team of Jinyi guards finally met Hai Rui in the county government of Licheng County.

At this moment, in the hall of the county government of Licheng County, Guan Rui, who was responsible for leading this team of brocade guards and hundreds of households, was kneeling on one knee and reporting the current situation to Hai Rui.

"Lord Du Yushi, Your Majesty sent us here this time to assist you in investigating the case!"

When Hai Rui heard this, he hurriedly got up from the seat, and then came to Guan Rui and personally helped him up from the ground: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

Xue Jing, the county magistrate of Licheng County on the side, couldn't help but jump his eyelids when he saw this situation, and said secretly: "It's over, the matter seems to have completely made a big fuss, and even His Majesty personally sent Jinyi Wei to assist Lord Du Yushi in investigating the case!" ”

"This time, those families who are attached to the Qufu Kong family are probably going to suffer!"

Just as Xue Jing was still imagining in his mind what might happen to those families who were attached to the Kong family next, he saw Guan Rui, the previous brocade guard, take out a letter from his arms quite solemnly, hand it to Hai Rui, and said respectfully.

"Lord Du Yushi, here is a handwritten letter from your majesty entrusted by the lower officials!"

When Hai Rui heard Guan Rui's words, the expression on his face did not change much, and after taking the letter from Guan Rui's hand, he saw Hai Rui retract his gaze and speak.

"Well, the official has received the letter!"

Seeing that the letter was successfully delivered, Guan Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Hai Rui's rather concerned voice sounded in his ears.

"You guys rushed all the way from the capital, it's been hard, let's go down and rest for a while!"

As soon as Hai Rui's words fell, Xue Jing, the county commander of Licheng County on the side, also got up from his seat and said respectfully.

"At present, there is just a spare room in the county government for rest, my lord, you should take the brothers and go down to rest for a while!"

When Guan Rui heard this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart, and arched his hand to Hai Rui and Xue Jing on the side, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, and I'll take the brothers down to rest!"

"Hmm."

As the words fell, I saw several officials step forward, leading the way in front with great awe, and taking these brocade guards to the corresponding rooms to rest.

After Guan Rui left, he saw Hai Rui turn his gaze to Xue Jing and asked.

"Lord Xue, can you borrow the study?"

As soon as Hai Rui's words fell, Xue Jing on the side responded without thinking.

"My lord, please!"

When Hai Rui heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and immediately walked towards the study of the county government of Licheng County.

Looking at the back of Hai Rui leaving, Xue Jing's heart was even more worried: "That's Your Majesty's handwritten letter, which shows how much Your Majesty attaches importance to this matter, and he sent Jinyiwei to assist in the investigation of the case, and he wrote a handwritten letter!" ”

But then, Xue Jing's face was full of joy, and he said secretly: "Fortunately, this official is unswervingly on the side of Lord Du Yushi!" ”

"After this incident, maybe, this official can still rely on the accumulated credits to rise one more level and serve as a prefect or something?" (End of chapter)
