Chapter 130 The Blunt Knife in Jiajing's Hand (Subscription Request)
Jiajing was very satisfied with the solution given by Yan Shaoting.

Since the beginning of the year, Yuxi Palace has discussed the national policy of promoting the increase of silk production in the southeast, and suddenly it was discovered that the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang were hiding some land.

Jiajing was furious.

That's all the court's money!
It's all his money!
Over the years, the money has been embezzled by the people below.

At that time, in order to implement the national policy of replacing rice with mulberry and cotton with mulberry in the southeast, this was put on hold.

Now, because the court is investigating the embezzlement of military supplies, Hai Rui has taken the opportunity to use 32 memorials to investigate the concealment of land in the two governments.

How could this not be a great opportunity.

But Yan Shaoting kept his mouth shut.

For a while.

The inner hall of Yuxi Palace was silent.

Lu Fang frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Yan Shaoting.

Jiajing also looked suspicious: "What? Are you in trouble?"

Yan Shaoting waved his robe and knelt down respectfully.

Watching Yan Shaoting's actions was completely different from the past.

The look of doubt on Jiajing's face became even more intense, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"What on earth happened!"

Jiajing leaned forward, feeling a little irritated.

Yan Shaoting bowed and said, "I have the audacity to make this remonstrance. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jiajing's face was solemn, and after a while he spoke: "Just tell me, I will forgive you."

After receiving the oral instructions.

Yan Shaoting then said, "I received news from the Imperial Prison that Hai Rui's 32 memorials would soon be sent to the capital, so I immediately went to the palace to report to Your Majesty.

I believe that these 32 memorials submitted by Hai Rui must not be made public for the time being!

It is not that I have any connection with the concealment of land rights by the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang in the southeast, but the court is not yet powerful enough to openly investigate the concealed land rights by the two prefectures at this time.

Even if I were to advise you to have Lord Zhang re-measure the farmland in the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songshan, he would use the excuse of changing cotton to mulberry and increasing the mulberry fields next year to conceal the re-measurement of the farmland in the two prefectures. "

Jiajing narrowed his eyes and asked faintly, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Because the Ming Dynasty cannot be in chaos!"

"Because the Ming Dynasty cannot be in chaos!"

Yan Shaoting answered in a deep and loud voice.

The two sentences seem the same, but they are different.

Jiajing's expression changed several times, and finally he leaned on the table behind him with some fatigue.

"Yes."

"yes……"

"That's fine."

Jiajing muttered a few words, and for a moment it seemed as if all his energy had been drained away.

The current Ming Dynasty really cannot be in chaos, because the political situation is already extremely difficult, with countless problems in the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Once chaos breaks out, it will be unstoppable turmoil.

At that time, all the problems that have been accumulated over the years will burst out at once.

I am afraid that by then, it will be a scene of war thousands of miles away.

This time, the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang can use the incident of embezzlement in military supplies to re-measure the land that has been concealed for many years.

But what about other places?
Among the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, were Suzhou and Songjiang the only two cities that concealed the existence of land?

The answer is obviously impossible.

If the accounts of the land in Suzhou and Songjiang prefectures were to be re-cleared in an open and aboveboard manner, on the grounds that too much land had been concealed, those who occupied the concealed land in other places would certainly be frightened.

Once these people panic, no one knows what will happen.

And when those people started to panic and started to move.

What will be the consequences.

But Jiajing knew it clearly.

He raised his head and looked towards the narrow and crowded Yuxi Palace, with a somewhat lonely look on his face.

This was an expression that an emperor shouldn't have.

But it really appeared on Jiajing's face.

Lu Fang on the side was full of anger.

A minister dies when his sovereign humiliates him, and a man like him, being the sovereign's servant, would naturally feel even more humiliated by the emperor.

Jiajing changed the question and asked in a low voice: "What does the cabinet think? Do they think the same as you?"

Yan Shaoting replied: "What Lord Xu meant is that since the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang concealed the matter of land and came to Beijing this time, it coincided with the case of embezzlement of military supplies by various ministries and offices in Beijing.

It would be better to order the local gentry and wealthy families in Suzhou and Songjiang prefectures to donate the cotton cloth they have in their homes and send it to the capital. This way, the winter cotton uniforms and armor needed by the border troops can be made before winter comes and sent to various places on the border.

And with the pending case of embezzlement of military supplies, the families in the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang who concealed their land would not have any objection to the re-measurement of their land, or any resistance."

This is what he said.

Yan Shaoting shut his mouth tightly.

I have said everything that needs to be said.

Hai Rui's thirty-two memorials could not be presented openly in the court now.

He was very sure of Hai Rui's integrity and integrity, but he did not agree with exposing something that might lead to turmoil in the entire Ming Dynasty at this time.

Such as the most core land issue of the Ming Dynasty.

Once this issue is brought to light at this time, the court can do nothing and everyone can focus on calming the local anger and unrest.

How could the huge vested interests allow a small Hai Rui to break the window paper on matters that concern everyone in the world and put the problem in front of everyone?

Even if it was Yan Shaoting.

You can't do that now.

But Jiajing gradually showed a sneer on his face.

He naturally understood the meaning of Yan Shaoting's words.

At the same time, he also heard clearly what Yan Shaoting said.

When asked about the cabinet, Yan Shaoting mentioned Lord Xu. Jiajing couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He also spoke vaguely: "Loyalty and treachery exist in the court and in the wild."

This statement is obviously inconsistent with, and even contradictory to, what the emperor said at the beginning of the year that all the ministers in the court were loyal.

But Yan Shaoting and Lu Fang, who were present, understood it.

Are there any fools in the Ming Dynasty court today?

No!

In fact, each of them is a rare talent that is hard to come by in a thousand years.

After a vague statement.

Jiajing stood up suddenly, staring at Yan Shaoting with a sharp gaze: "Loyal and treacherous people are everywhere, and my influence is like a pillar of support!"

The Taoist priest spoke so loudly that even Zhu Xizhong and the other three Dukes who were guarding outside the palace could hear it clearly.

The three of them looked at each other curiously, and then looked into the dark palace door.

Not long after.

Yan Shaoting had already walked out from behind the dark palace door.

When he walked out of the hall, Zhu Xizhong and the other two immediately surrounded him.

"What happened just now?"

"What did you do to make His Majesty so happy?"

Zhu Xizhong and the other two had gossipy looks on their faces.

Yan Shaoting smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just that the Yizi Treasury is empty, which may solve the problem of the border soldiers having no clothes to keep warm this year. The three lords can rest assured that as long as I am in the court, I will never let the soldiers suffer from hunger and cold!"

There is not much more to say, Yan Shaoting has said this much.

Xu Yande still wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, but before he could open his mouth, he was pulled away by Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong.

It is very good that Yan Shaoting has this kind of heart and remembers the soldiers in the army.

Needless to say, everyone will remember it.

Yan Shaoting bowed and glanced at the three dukes who would probably have to stay in Yuxi Palace until the case of embezzlement of military supplies was concluded before they could go home, and then looked at the obviously more officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp around them.

Thoughts flow in my mind and leave silently.

And in the inner hall of Yuxi Palace.

The jade chime that was originally placed on the platform finally rolled off the platform at some point and shattered on the cold and hard gold brick.

Lu Fang picked up the fragments with an uneasy look on his face.

However, Jiajing's face was full of anger, his complexion was changing from blue to purple, and his mood was changeable.

Lu Fang gathered all the fragments of the jade chime together, and then looked at the emperor on the platform with concern.

"Master, please calm down. You can't get yourself hurt by being angry alone."

Jiajing sneered, his shoulders trembling: "I am not happy, the seal knife cuts things, the broken sail makes me, and the shade of the tree blocks the view."

Lu Fang frowned.

He whispered, "Master, are you reading Li Shangyin's Miscellaneous Works?"

Jiajing raised his head, his eyes extremely cold and gloomy: "Bring the account books of the Su and Song mansions."

Lu Fang didn't know what the emperor meant, but he quickly delivered the account books of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, which were specially set up in the deepest hall of Yuxi Palace, to Jiajing.

Jiajing kept looking through the accounts of the two governments.

The more he looked, the gloomier his expression became.

In the end, even the account book was thrown to the ground by Jiajing.

Lu Fang was extremely flustered. He quickly picked up the account book and looked at the emperor. He felt that nothing he could do was right at the moment.

Jiajing sneered: "Loyal and treacherous Yingying, loyal and treacherous Yingying..."

These were the same words the Taoist priest had said when Yan Shaoting was here.

Lu Fang frowned.

"Master, the Ming Dynasty is so big that the two capitals and thirteen provinces are all under your charge. Now that the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songshan have been able to investigate thoroughly and survey all the hidden fields, it is already very good. Master, please take care of your body and don't let anything happen to you."

Jiajing sneered and shook his head: "I'm fine! I'm fine! I just want to watch these people being stabbed by Yan Shaoting with a blunt knife, and spit out everything they have eaten over the years!"

Lu Fang's eyes flashed, and she said carefully, "Today, I told Yan Shidu about the memorial from the censors."

Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and asked, "Is the Wanshou Palace about to be rebuilt?"

Lu Fang nodded immediately: "My Lord, it will probably be well in the next few days. I will personally bring people to clean up the Wanshou Palace and respectfully invite you to return to live in the Wanshou Palace."

Jiajing just snorted twice.

"Since this blunt knife is in my hand, how can I let it rust?"

After an unknown word.

Yuxi Palace finally fell silent.

After leaving the palace, Yan Shaoting went straight back to the Yan Mansion.

When I entered the house, I saw Lu Yi was already waiting there.

Seeing Yan Shaoting coming back, Lu Yi hurried forward and whispered, "Brother-in-law, everything outside the city has been done."

As he spoke, Lu Yi glanced at a small wooden box placed in the corner.

Yan Shaoting nodded, his expression solemn: "Call your sister, let's leave the city now."

Lu Yi exclaimed, puzzled: "Why are you leaving the city?"

"Go to Changping!"

Yan Shaoting didn't want to say more and only told the destination of leaving the city.

Lu Yi became more and more confused. Looking at Yan Shaoting's expression, he couldn't help feeling uneasy: "Did something happen?"

Yan Shaoting glanced at his brother-in-law.

"It's so hot, everyone is feeling hot and uncomfortable."

"Let's go out of town to avoid the disaster!"
