I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 53 Petition
Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, people's emotions were quickly provoked, and they headed towards the Forbidden City one after another. Then, more and more people joined along the way, and there were many high-ranking officials of the second and third ranks. Ge Lao Yan Shifan arranged in advance. .

There are more and more people, like an endless torrent, rushing towards the Forbidden City.

And the person who walked in the forefront of the crowd was the person Yan Shifan had ordered earlier, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Luo Longwen.

At this moment, Luo Longwen turned around and glanced at the black crowd behind him, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart, and asked his colleagues beside him: "Master Zhang, is it really okay to do this? Will it..."

And Luo Longwen called Mr. Zhang the Minister of Criminal Justice, Zhang Runde.

I saw Zhang Runde looked around for a while, and said in a low voice indifferently: "What are you afraid of, the veteran Xiaoge entrusted us with such an important task, and we must not fail it!"

"If this matter fails, will there be a place for us in the future?" Zhang Runde sighed and asked back.

"Yes, this matter must not be messed up." Someone beside him agreed.

"Thanks to Mr. Xiaoge's care all the time! Otherwise, we would have been dragged down by those people of Qingliu long ago." After Luo Longwen finished speaking, he was no longer confused, but concentrated on looking at the road under his feet.

……

It was late at night, and when Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Prefecture was about to go to bed, there was a hasty knock on the door from outside the house.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter, it's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Ding Shichang frowned tightly, and didn't intend to open the door. After saying a few words casually, he wanted to send the person away.

"My lord, I really have something important to do. There is a large group of people outside holding lanterns and shouting slogans, heading towards the Forbidden City! The leaders seem to be wearing official uniforms. I dare not stop them."

"What? You didn't say it earlier!" After hearing this, Ding Shichang lost all sleepiness and opened the door very quickly.

"Quickly, quickly, call me all the people who can be called! Go, if these people get to the Forbidden City, I will not be the governor of Shuntian Fu." Ding Shichang ordered his subordinates, while furiously uniformed the officer. Put it on.

After a while, Ding Shichang put on his official uniform, looked at the assembled crowd, and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"My lord, everything is here."

"Let's go!" Ding Shichang said, getting on his horse.

Soon, the people of Shuntian Mansion set off urgently, intending to intercept the crowd outside the Forbidden City.

……

In a hurry, Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Prefecture led his subordinates to finally catch up with the crowd. He reined in the reins and said loudly to the crowd: "Stop, stop! This is the direction to the Forbidden City, where are you going?" What are you doing? Want to rebel?"

Immediately, the officers and soldiers of Shuntian Mansion also took action, blocking the only way to prevent the crowd from advancing half a step.

"What are you doing? Why don't we go to the Forbidden City to volunteer!"

"They are from Shuntian Prefecture!" Among the crowd, someone recognized Yin Ding Shichang from Shuntian Prefecture.

"No matter what you guys are doing in the Forbidden City? Now, go back the same way! If you disturb His Majesty, ten of your heads are not enough to cut off." Looking at the black crowd in front of him, Ding Shichang forced himself to remain calm and threatened road.

"Hmph, I'm really curious about the charges Mr. Fu Yin said!" Zhang Runde, the servant of the criminal department, came out and looked at Ding Shichang who was riding on the horse.

"Why is Mr. Zhang here?" After seeing who was coming, Ding Shichang froze instantly, and his tone softened a lot.

"Isn't this clear at a glance? I will go to the Forbidden City to appeal to His Majesty in accordance with public opinion. Do you still want to stop me?" After Zhang Runde finished speaking, several figures appeared beside him.

"The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites, four of the six officials came! Only the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households did not come." After seeing the remaining figures clearly, Ding Shichang broke out in a cold sweat. There is no doubt that Tian Fu Yin must have extremely high political sensitivity. The current lineup and the game behind it are no longer something that Shun Tian Fu Yin can participate in.

"My lords are pleading for the people, I admire you very much! Everything that happened just now was a misunderstanding, misunderstanding, get out of the way, get out of the way." Ding Shichang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then ordered to his subordinates.

"Then I will trouble Mr. Fu Yin." Luo Longwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, bowed to Ding Shichang, and then led the team to continue towards the Forbidden City.

"Master Fu Yin, what should we do? Do we want to go back?"

"Do you still have to ask me? Go back, go back! Another order, no one is allowed to mention tonight's matter."

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jiajing was still up at this time, playing Go with Lu Fang.

"I'm not going down, it's boring."

Jiajing dropped the chess piece at will, then moved his eyes to the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty's chess skills are so superb, the servants are willing to bow down!" After Lu Fang said, she dropped the last move, and the game was over. Judging by the remaining moves, Jiajing won.

"Don't think I don't know, you've been letting me in."

And Lu Fang just smiled and didn't talk to him, and then picked up a chess piece to play with, and asked softly: "Is your Majesty waiting for something?"

"I'm waiting for them to come over. It's really strange. I've clearly ordered the imperial army to let them come over. Why hasn't there been any movement?" Jiajing looked back at the endgame of Go and said calmly.

At this moment, a guard from outside broke in with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, there is..." outside the east gate of the Forbidden City...

Before the guard finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiajing: "You don't need to talk, go down."

"Let's go, go with me." Jiajing stood up from his seat and said to Lu Fang who was still in a daze.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Fang responded, and then followed Jiajing step by step.

……

Outside the east gate of the Forbidden City, Jiajing and Lu Fang appeared here under the guard of the guards. Looking at the crowd not far away, Jiajing asked, "What are you doing?"

After Jiajing finished asking, Luo Longwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood up first, and responded: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Shang Yange said in the court discussion today caused an uproar in the capital! The people all cheered and rushed to tell each other, thank you for my great Ming. There is such a good elder who dares to speak out!"

"Before this, how arrogant and domineering were those vassal kings and clans? Relying on their status as imperial relatives and nobles, they committed all kinds of crimes. They wantonly humiliated and killed the common people, and forcibly occupied the common people's fields. They are willing to give up only when the people’s families are ruined! How can such a clan be willingly supported by the people of my Ming Dynasty? Every penny they spend is bought by the people of my Ming Dynasty with blood and sweat.”

"The suffering of the common people is unspeakable! Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to reduce the expenses of the clan and implement the decree of grace!"

After Luo Longwen finished speaking, he took the lead and knelt down, knocking his head heavily on the ground. After Luo Longwen knelt down, the huge crowd behind him also knelt down and said in a sobbing voice: "I implore your Majesty, reduce the clan's expenses, Execute the Tweet Order!"

Time seemed to have stopped completely. On one side was the emperor, and on the other side were many subjects who were willing to the emperor. After a long time, Jiajing's throat moved, his eyes swept over the people present one by one, his eyes were reddish, and he said in a deep voice: "Get up, everyone, I agree to what you ask for!"

"I will issue an imperial edict in the near future to reduce the expenses of the imperial family and implement a decree of grace!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"
