Soon, everyone browsed the list of officials who had impeached Hai Rui and the contents of the impeachment letters submitted by Zhao Zhenji.

After this, I saw Gao Gong turn his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, and then spoke.

"Lord Zhao, you can rest assured that the evidence you submitted will soon be sent to His Majesty through the celebrant supervisor!"

After Gao Gong finished speaking, he immediately summoned a servant and commanded.

"Send these things, even those that have been processed over there, to the celebrant of ceremonies!"

"Obey, Gao Ge Lao!"

In the face of Gao Gong's command, the official did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately responded respectfully.

After the official left, Zhao Zhenji glanced at the bookcase not far away, the piles of notes waiting to be processed, and then saw him facing everyone and saluting respectfully.

"Since the cabinet affairs are so busy, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to continue to bother here, so they will retire first!"

"Hmm."

After that, Zhao Zhenji did not stop at all, and immediately turned around and left the cabinet.

……

Forbidden City, celebrant of ceremonies.

Since Chen Hong was tortured and forced to confess by the people in Dongchang because of his informant, Feng Bao, as Lu Fang's godson, gradually took his place in the celebrant supervisor.

Feng Bao's current status in the celebrant prison is second only to his godfather Lu Fang and Huang Jin, who has always been conscientious.

Moreover, as Feng Bao became more and more familiar with the affairs of the celebrant and supervisor, coupled with his keen insight into the court situation, Feng Bao never made a mistake again.

At this moment, in the room of the celebrant supervisor, Feng Bao was approving the music sent from the cabinet according to the previous practice.

For the matter of approving the red, Feng Bao did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and every time the official who was responsible for delivering the recital sent a recital, he would carefully read the content of the recital from beginning to end, and only after confirming that there were no errors or omissions in it did he mention the red pen.

After Feng Bao finished the last letter in his hand, he saw him get up from his seat and move his body slightly.

At this moment, I saw a Xu official who was in charge of delivering the music walk in and reported respectfully.

"Gonggong Feng, this is the latest note sent by the cabinet!"

When Feng Bao heard this, he nodded, and he didn't look at the official, but just stretched out his finger and pointed to the bookcase on the side, and commanded.

"Well, I see, just put it there!"

"Yes, Gonggong Feng!"

When the official heard this, he put the music in his hand in the position designated by Feng Bao and left.

"Alas, what the hell is going on, how can I get busier and busier lately!"

Feng Bao complained, sat back in his chair, and began to deal with the latest note sent by the cabinet unhurriedly.

However, Feng Bao soon discovered that there was something different about the note sent by the cabinet this time.

"This ...... This is an impeachment recital, and the object of impeachment is still the left deputy Yu Shi Hairui! ”

After Feng Bao finished reading the contents of the impeachment note in his hand, he couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face.

Not only that, Feng Bao also found a list of officials who had been sorted out and impeached Hai Rui.

Although Feng Bao had no direct contact with this Hai Rui, he often heard Lu Fang mention this person.

"Before, my godfather often said that this Hai Rui Holy Lady is long, and his future is immeasurable, and he wants me to have a good relationship with him as much as possible, but now, isn't the opportunity coming?"

Feng Bao, as a eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, has a variety of sources and channels, even if there is a little storm in the court, Feng Bao can know in advance and prepare to deal with it in advance.

Feng Bao knew very well in his heart that although on the surface, Hai Rui's trip was to Shandong to investigate the case, but in fact, Hai Rui's mission was to investigate and exterminate the White Lotus Sect that was raging in the local area.

However, at this juncture, a large number of officials who impeached Hai Jui suddenly appeared in the DPRK and China, and it is difficult not to doubt the motive behind this.

After thinking about it, Feng Bao finally decided to go to the Qianqing Palace in person and inform Yu Jiajing of this matter in person!

After that, after Feng Bao made the corresponding arrangements, he immediately took the letters of impeachment of Hai Rui, as well as the list of officials who had been impeached for Hai Rui, and officially set off to the Qianqing Palace.

……

At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing was playing Go with Lu Fang for the first time in a long time.

I saw Jiajing pick up a black chess piece from the chess basket on the side, and immediately, I heard a 'snap', and the black chess went down to the chessboard.

After observing the situation for a long time, Lu Fang picked up a white chess piece from the chess basket on the side and put it in the corresponding position.

After taking this step, Lu Fang wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve and said complimentally.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the slave maid for bluntly saying that your chess skills are unique in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the slave maid is no longer Your Majesty's opponent!"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, there was no smug look on his face, and he said slowly.

"Lu Fang, you can't say that, this game of chess hasn't been played yet, how can you easily admit defeat?"

When Lu Fang heard this, he laughed twice and did not continue to speak.

At this moment, Jiajing's voice sounded in Lu Fang's ears: "By the way, Lu Fang, how is the preparation of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he immediately turned his gaze to Jiajing and cautiously confirmed to him.

"Your Majesty, are you referring to the fact that in addition to the imperial examination, there are separate examinations for the clan and nobles?"

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded, and then dropped the chess pieces in his hand, and responded with words.

"Well, that's right, that's what I was referring to!"

"Didn't Yan Shifan say before, according to the usual practice, the Ministry of Rites should come forward to make a proposition and organize the exam, it's been a few days, but there is no movement at all on the Ministry of Rites, you go and urge Li Chunfang for me another day!"

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

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he immediately picked up a white chess piece from the chess basket on the side, and after thinking about it for a long time, he dropped the chess piece.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the Qianqing Palace, and after a while, I saw the guiding eunuch walking in.

After seeing Jiajing's figure, he immediately looked happy, and immediately, he saw him come to Jiajing's side, lean down, and report respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch Feng Bao is out asking to see you, saying that there is something important to report!"

"Oh, Feng Bao?"

When Jiajing heard this, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on his face, and after glancing at Lu Fang not far away without a trace, he dropped the black chess piece in his hand into the chessboard before he gave an order.

"Well, I know, let him in!"

And Lu Fang, who was sitting directly opposite Jiajing, was also a little puzzled by Feng Bao's arrival, only to see him absentmindedly pick up a white chess piece from the chess basket and land it on the chessboard at will.

After this, Jiajing's slightly surprised voice sounded in Lu Fang's ears: "Lu Fang, look, what I said before, this game of chess has not been finished yet, how can I easily admit defeat?" ”

"Look, didn't you win?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he put the black chess pieces in his hand into the chess basket.

Seeing this, Lu Fang immediately put his gaze back on the chess game in front of him.

It was only then that he discovered that the move he had dropped at random before not only cut off Jiajing's soon-to-be-formed dragon, but also his remaining chess pieces were regained because of this move.

Seeing this, Lu Fang's face was flustered, and he even wanted to explain.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this ...... This, slave and maid, ......"

Seeing this, Jiajing just waved his hand, and said with a relaxed expression.

"Alright, it's just a game of chess!"

At this moment, I saw Feng Bao enter the Qianqing Palace with silent steps, and as soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, he knelt on the ground respectfully, and immediately spoke.

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

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately fell on Feng Bao's body and asked.

"Well, Feng Bao, let's say, is there anything you have to report to me?"

Feng Bao, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Jiajing's words, and took out the several impeachment notes that had been prepared early in the morning, as well as the list of officials who had been impeached, from his sleeve, and held them high above his head, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is the impeachment note sent by the cabinet not long ago, and the slave feels that the matter is very important, so I want to inform Your Majesty of this matter in person!"

After Feng Bao finished speaking, he buried his head deeply and quietly waited for Jiajing's further instructions.

When Jiajing heard this, he muttered for a while, then immediately looked at Lu Fang on the side and commanded.

"Lu Fang, bring it to me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he immediately came to Feng Bao's side, and handed over the several impeachment letters, as well as the list of officials who had been impeached by Shangshu, to Jiajing.

Jiajing took it from Lu Fang's hand, opened the impeachment note, and began to skim through it meticulously.

Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it has been, I saw Jiajing put these things in his hand on the bookcase on the side quite casually, his face was full of mockery, and he said to himself.

"Heh, you can't bear it so quickly?"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang, who was on the side, couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and after considering the language, he asked Jiajing.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, what is it talking about? ”

Hearing this, Jiajing glanced over Lu Fang's body and responded unhurriedly.

"Hai Rui just found out something, and someone in the DPRK and China immediately couldn't sit still, these things are the impeachment of Hai Rui!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately plucked up his courage and proposed to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, do you need the slave to send someone to check their details, or ......?"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, after thinking for a moment, he pointed and immediately responded: "In this way, Lu Fang, you send someone to find out the details of these people to see if they are related to those families." ”

"If you find any problems in the middle, just take it down!"

When Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang immediately replied in a deep voice without thinking.

"Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will do it!" 、

"Hmm."

Jiajing took in the expression on Lu Fang's face, responded imperceptibly, and immediately came to Feng Bao's face and said encouragement.

"Feng Bao, get up, you have done a good job in this matter!"

When Feng Bao heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and after being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, his face was full of determination, and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is serious, these are just the duties that slaves and maids should fulfill!"

"If Your Majesty needs it, the slave is willing to work for Your Majesty's liver and brain, and never give up, so as to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

Jiajing seemed to be quite satisfied with Feng Bao's words, and a look of relief appeared on his face, and he immediately commanded.

"If you have this heart, it is excellent, so that you don't have to rush back to the celebrant for a while, go and call Zhao Zhenji to me, and say that I have something important to discuss with him!"

When Feng Bao heard this, his face was full of respect, and he immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang, who was on the side, took in this scene, and after looking at Feng Bao without a trace, he immediately lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Lu Fang and Feng Bao took orders to leave, only Jiajing was left in the huge Qianqing Palace.

Immediately, I saw Jiajing summon the eunuch, put away the chessboard, chess basket, etc., and then sat back on the dragon chair alone, gently rubbing the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, and muttered to himself silently.

"Oh, you bumped into it yourself, no wonder I did!"

"I don't know how much wealth you've accumulated, I'm really curious......"

……

On the other hand, since Feng Bao received Jiajing's order, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and after leaving the Qianqing Palace, he rushed to the Inspectorate non-stop.

In the duty room of the Inspectorate, at this moment, Zhao Zhenji was pacing in the room with his hands behind his back, quite anxiously, and there were words in his mouth.

"I have obviously submitted the list of impeachment officials and the impeachment of Shangshu one by one, why hasn't Your Majesty responded yet?"

"Could it be that something happened in the middle?"

Thinking so, Zhao Zhenji quickly sat back in his chair and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"That's right, after all, right now Hai Rui is investigating the case in Shandong, and the interests of those families will be involved, and the rest is okay to say, but it is a little difficult for Yan Shenggong to deal with, no matter how you say it, Your Majesty must also take into account the impact, in case the time comes, ......."

Just as Zhao Zhenji was still racking his brains and thinking about the possible development of this matter, there was a knock on the door from outside the door.

Seeing that his thoughts were interrupted, Zhao Zhenji's face suddenly appeared with annoyance, and he spoke impatiently.

"Come in!"

Zhao Zhenji's words fell, only to hear a 'squeak', the door of the room was pushed open, only to see a worried Xu official walk in, facing Zhao Zhenji respectfully reported.

"My lord, Gonggong Feng of the celebrant is asking to see him outside, and he said that it was at the will of His Majesty!"
