The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Chapter 549

When Jiajing learned that the Tibetan people were worshipping his portrait in their homes, even though they called him Buddha and Jiajing was a believer, at that moment Jiajing felt as if sweet rain had fallen from the sky, and his whole body felt refreshed.

Emperor Jiajing was well aware that whether it was the immortals of Taoism or the Buddha of Buddhism, they were all immortals or Buddhas who had been worshipped by the people for a long time.

Just like Lu Dongbin, the founder of Taoism, or Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, they were all ordinary people at the beginning.

Emperor Jiajing could even see that a hundred years later, he might completely transform into a Buddha in Tibet, which gave him immense satisfaction, even surpassing the sense of accomplishment that the throne brought him.

It was for this reason that after Shen Qing gave birth, Jiajing specially sent someone to reward Fang Hong and promote him to the rank of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Based on Zhou Chu's suggestion, Jiajing officially named the Tibetan region the Tibet Province and sent relevant officials to Tibet to hand over the reins to Zhou Chu. Jiajing also listened to Zhou Chu's advice regarding all Tibetan officials, and most officials served for a maximum of three years.

Because Tibet is remote and isolated, if these officials stay there for too long, it will breed absolute power and corruption, which is definitely not what Zhou Chu and Jiajing want to see.

At the same time, a commander of the Imperial Guard and nearly a thousand Imperial Guards were also sent to Tibet. The Imperial Guards were not responsible for anything else in Tibet, but only for supervising the officials in Tibet.

Of course, these are just preliminary plans. The specific details will be drafted by the cabinet and many officials to ensure their relative integrity as much as possible.

It's almost impossible to expect absolute incorruptibility in the closed environment of Tibet. Neither Jiajing nor Zhou Chu demanded that. As long as these officials didn't excessively oppress the people, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was far better for the Tibetan people than the rule of the noble lords of the past.

After Zhou Chu completely recovered the Tibetan region, he reported to Jiajing and waited for the other Ming troops to arrive and for all the officials to complete their handover before leading the Xuanwu Army back to the Ming Dynasty.

"What? The Fang family's child has been kidnapped?"

Upon hearing this news in the imperial study, Jiajing Emperor stood up abruptly.

Such things rarely happened in the past, because no matter how much people fought, it was rare to see someone use the other's family members as a threat. For example, even if someone kidnapped Yang Tinghe's grandson or Yang Shen to threaten him, it would be useless because Yang Tinghe's interests were too deeply involved.

He was never someone who could be threatened by a simple person. Moreover, having reached the position of Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe, his heart was already as hard as iron. Even if Yang Shen was killed because of this, Yang Tinghe might be sad, but after the sadness, he would definitely take swift and decisive action to avenge Yang Shen.

Those who can become high-ranking officials in the imperial court have hearts as firm as rocks and will not be easily shaken by these things. Moreover, doing so would be breaking the rules, and the retaliation they would face afterward would be beyond imagination.

But Zhou Chu is different. Zhou Chu is only about twenty years old now, and judging from his past words and deeds, he values ​​personal feelings more than other officials. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated the Lu family that way back then.

It was unclear whether the child could threaten Zhou Chu, but Jiajing was on the verge of madness at that moment, and he pushed everything on the desk in the imperial study to the ground.

"What are you all doing? There are so many Imperial Guards in the capital, how could you let someone break into the Fang family and kidnap them?"

Jiajing roared.

“Your Majesty, Fang Hong is only a commander of a thousand. The Embroidered Uniform Guard cannot keep people watching his house forever. About a year ago, the guards were all withdrawn.”

Huang Jin said cautiously.
