Chapter 28
When Jiajing brought Yu Wang Zhu Zaixi to the gate of Yu Wang's mansion, many ministers knelt down when they saw this, and the five cabinet members were the most front in the queue.

"I have seen His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Yu!"

"Get up." Jiajing nodded, signaling all the ministers to get up.

Jiajing glanced at King Yu beside him, and then said in a loud voice: "I am very pleased that all ministers can take time out of their busy schedules to come to Prince Yu's mansion to congratulate you! But today's protagonist is not me, let King Yu and you Say a few words."

After Jiajing finished speaking, he patted Zhu Zaiqi on the shoulder, and then stepped aside.

When Xu Jie and Gao Gong saw this, their expressions froze, and then their hearts fell into ecstasy. The relationship between the emperor and King Yu is so harmonious, which means that King Yu is one step closer to the crown prince!Yan Shifan's face was gloomy and unwilling, Yan Song still looked like an old god, as if he didn't care about anything, as for Zhang Juzheng, he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Suddenly being pushed to the front stage by his father, the shocked look on Zhu Zaiqian's face flashed, and then he forcibly suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, coughed twice, and said, "Thank you ministers for taking the time to come Congratulations from the palace, you are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the banquet has already been prepared, please!"

After Zhu Zaixi finished speaking, he retreated to Jiajing's side with a respectful expression.

"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, so I will leave first!"

Jiajing looked at his son with a smile in his eyes, paused, and said.

"Isn't father staying with you?" Zhu Zaiqi asked in bewilderment.

"If I stay here, I won't be able to stop eating this meal! Besides, I have to go back and change clothes, and my body smells like urine." After Jiajing finished speaking, he pretended to smell it.

"My son respectfully sends my father off!"

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

Jiajing didn't look back, but went straight to the dragon chariot, and Lu Fang followed closely behind.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, as soon as Jiajing sat down, Lu Fang quickly poured him a cup of hot tea.

Jiajing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "Those guys have stretched out their hands on my son and newborn grandson! Sooner or later, I will cut off all their hands that are stretched out."

"Lu Fang, do you think I should do this?"

Jiajing put down the teacup in his hand, turned to Lu Fang who was beside him, and asked.

Lu Fang didn't dare to make any response, standing silently like a stone.

"You! Oh, forget it, let's go shopping with me." Jiajing sighed and said helplessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Fang responded with a bow.

……

Capital City, Prince Yu's Mansion.

After the banquet ended, the guests felt at home, Yan Song and Yan Shifan took the lead to leave, but the father and son did not choose to go back in a sedan chair, but walked along a secluded street, followed by guards.

"Father, why did you stop me just now? This is an excellent opportunity to get closer to King Yu!"

Yan Shifan looked at his father's back and couldn't help but speak.

"Hmph, idiot! We don't eat anyone's rice, we only eat the emperor's bowl of rice! Do you understand?"

Yan Song turned around and looked at his resentful son, with a look of hating iron but not steel.

"Father, I still don't understand."

"At tonight's banquet, whoever gets closer to King Yu will be unlucky sooner! Your Majesty is not happy."

"Why is Your Majesty unhappy? It stands to reason that so many ministers came to celebrate, shouldn't it be..."

As Yan Shifan spoke, he abruptly stopped talking, his face full of horror: "Father, you mean..."

"That's right, His Majesty is still the emperor! His Majesty will be very happy if King Yu is the prince in today's matter, but King Yu is not the prince." Yan Song said, his tone became low.

"Some people are like fireflies. When they see a light, they rush up regardless. They don't know whether it is a bright light or a fire that is about to burn themselves."

"What the father said, the child has been educated." After listening to Yan Shifan, his face was full of admiration, and he felt ashamed of his previous behavior.

……

All the previously invited guests had left, but King Yu secretly kept Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng behind.

In the study, Gao Gong looked at King Yu who was in high spirits, and said firstly: "Congratulations to King Yu, congratulations to King Yu! After today, the crown prince must be at your fingertips!"

"Gao Ge, please get up quickly!" King Yu hurriedly helped Gao Gong up.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng also congratulated King Yu one after another, and there was a picture of the monarch and his ministers in the study.

After the congratulations, Xu Jie spoke first: "King Yu, recently the Yan Party sent people to Zhejiang to check the acres of fields, paving the way for the policy of changing rice to mulberry! The progress is quite smooth, and most of the fields in Zhejiang have been measured so far."

"Who is the person sent by the Yan Party?" King Yu frowned, his expression unswerving.

"King Yu, the person sent by the Yan Party is Gao Hanwen, a student of Xiaoge Lao Yan Shifan. It is said that he has a noble character and is quite talented!"

"Hmph, what a noble character and talent! Let me see, this Gao Hanwen and Yan Dang are a nest of snakes and rats."

Gao Gong's huffing voice came.

"Who does Gao Hanwen work under? Can you..." King Yu turned around and looked at the paintings hanging on the wall, and paused for a moment.

"Your Highness, no! Gao Hanwen is currently serving under Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province, so don't act rashly! If Hu Zongxian is offended, things will be troublesome."

Seeing that King Yu wanted to completely ruin him through the means of the officials, Zhang Juzheng quickly advised him.

"Then since this method doesn't work, we can only slow down his progress in clearing Zhang Zhang's fields. What can you do?" King Yu turned around, his eyes swept over the three cabinet ministers one by one.

"Your Highness, I have a strategy that may work!" Xu Jie raised his head and said softly.

"Oh, Mr. Xu Ge, please tell me." King Yu looked at Xu Jie with interest, his eyes full of expectation.

"We might as well send people to spread rumors in Zhejiang, saying that the government cleared the land for the purpose of annexing all their land when the rice is converted into mulberry in the next year! In this way, the clearing of the land will naturally not go on, and the strict party will change the rice. San's plan will also go bankrupt."

"Perhaps be more ruthless, and let Zhejiang be in chaos! When Zhejiang is in chaos, the abscess of the Yan Party will have to be squeezed! When the Yan Party falls, the people will be prosperous, and our Ming Dynasty will surely prosper again. "

"In addition, as far as I know, due to the flood in Zhejiang last year, the imperial court allocated funds to build a new dam. If the dam collapses, it will endanger the nine subordinate counties and 10,000+ mu of land. When the fields are flooded, Zhejiang will definitely be in chaos!"

After hearing what Xu Jie said, King Yu showed hesitation: "It's just that, I'm afraid the people in Zhejiang will suffer!"

Xu Jie nodded, and sighed deeply: "Your Highness, since ancient times, those who have achieved great things do not care about trivial matters! Please suffer the people of Zhejiang, and I will bear the responsibility."

After listening to Xu Jie's words, King Yu was a little moved, and asked the remaining two people in the room: "What do you think of this plan?"

Zhang Juzheng was about to exhort, but was interrupted by Gao Gong, his expression was frenzied and excited: "Your Highness, this is really a big strategy!"

The disgust in Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed, and he followed suit without saying a word.

"Then since you all agree, let's proceed according to this plan!"

After hearing this, King Yu waved his hands boldly, and there seemed to be a lot of pride in his gestures.
