After a period of repair, the Ministry of Industry finally restored the previously damaged Heart Cultivation Palace, and Jiajing also moved out of the Ganlu Palace.

Early in the morning, in the temple of nourishing the heart.

Jiajing, with the help of his personal eunuch, put on his robe.

At this moment, I saw Lu Fang walking without a sound and entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, only to see him come to Jiajing's side and say respectfully.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

Jiajing nodded, and immediately asked Lu Fang.

"What's going on over there with King Jing, everything is going well, right?"

Lu Fang heard that Jiajing asked him about this, and hurriedly responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, everything is going well at the moment, and at the current rate, King Jing should be able to reach his fiefdom De'an soon."

After Jiajing listened, he immediately put his mind at ease, and then commanded.

"Send someone to me to keep an eye on him, if there is any trouble, report it directly to me!"

When Lu Fang heard this, his expression immediately turned grim and he said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing took in the expression on Lu Fang's face, and immediately commanded.

"By the way, next you can let Feng Bao familiarize himself with the duties of the eunuch of the celebrant in advance, so as not to cause a mistake and delay the affairs of the imperial court at that time!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he responded quite calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said slowly.

"It's time for the cabinet meeting later, you can accompany me there!"

"Yes!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately followed Jiajing's footsteps step by step and marched in the direction where the cabinet was located.

……

Since Yan Shifan was still in charge of reviewing the answer sheets for this examination, the affairs that should have been handled by him were evenly distributed among others.

Taking advantage of the gap between the emperor's arrival, the remaining four members of the cabinet began to deal with the notes presented to them non-stop.

I saw Xu Jie put aside the finished recital in his hand, turned his gaze to Yan Song on the side, and said with a smile.

"Elder Yan Ge, you have recently become famous in the capital!"

"The candidates who participated in this examination, in order to be able to get the qualification for your personal marking, can be described as a bloody battle!"

"It is said that there are still many candidates who fight because of disagreements."

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he added a sentence next.

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song just smiled slightly, and immediately responded.

"Xu Ge is serious, I am also from the imperial examination, and I know the difficulties of these candidates."

"Therefore, I just want to do my part to promote these juniors!"

"It's just that I can't spare too much time because of the lot of affairs on my body, so I made this decision!"

After listening to Yan Song's watertight explanation, Xu Jie responded in a deep voice.

"Yan Ge Lao is so open-minded, it really makes Zai Xia feel ashamed!"

"Where, Xu Ge praised it, I just did some trivial things!"

After Yan Song finished saying this, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

In the cabinet, there was silence again, only the rustle of turning paper.

After a while, only a shrill voice was heard: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the cabinet immediately knelt on the ground under the leadership of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

When they saw the emperor's figure appear in their sight, they said in unison.

"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After Jiajing sat down in his place, he withdrew his gaze from them and commanded.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's answer, everyone present slowly got up and immediately sat down in their respective positions, waiting for Jiajing's orders.

"Yan Shifan's side hasn't finished working yet?"

Jiajing swept his gaze from the vacant position, and immediately asked Yan Song.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, it will take at least half a month to review the answer sheet!"

After listening to Yan Song's answer, Jiajing nodded, his expression calm.

"Count the days, it should be just a matter of these days."

Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember, and immediately turned his gaze to Yan Song, smiling rather than smiling.

"By the way, I heard that recently, in the capital, those candidates who came to take the entrance examination have been fighting for the opportunity to get you, the first assistant of the cabinet, to personally mark the papers!"

When Yan Song saw Jiajing mention this, his expression immediately turned grim and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is also from the imperial examination, and he climbed up step by step!"

"No one understands the cruelty of the imperial examination better than Wechen, so Wechen wants to give these candidates some comfort."

"But because of the many affairs on Weichen, he made this decision, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame him!"

After listening to Yan Song's narration, Jiajing withdrew his gaze and encouraged.

"Elder Yan Ge, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean to blame you!"

"On the contrary, I think that you have done a good job in this matter, which can be regarded as giving me some comfort to many students of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I hope you can keep it up."

Then, I saw Yan Song kneeling on the ground with a flattered look, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Jie, who was on the side, was quite disdainful of Yan Song's behavior, only to see him glance at Yan Song with an extremely obscure gaze, and scolded secretly.

"What an old fox!"

Then, I saw Jiajing turn his gaze to Xu Jie, and stepped into the topic.

"Elder Xu Ge, how did you do what I told you in the Weapons Division earlier?"

Seeing that Jiajing suddenly asked about this, I saw Xu Jie respond confidently.

"Your Majesty, here in the household department, after receiving the report submitted by the Ordnance Division, the first time I allocated the silver, a total of two million six hundred and thirty-five thousand two hundred and fifteen taels!"

After listening to Xu Jie's report, Jiajing nodded, turned his gaze to Zhang Juzheng on the side, and commanded.

"Zhang Juzheng, I will leave this matter to you, and after the Weapons Division begins to mass-produce grenades, you will be responsible for gradually installing them in my Ming army."

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng's face was full of excitement, and he replied in a deep voice.

"Weichen must live up to His Majesty's trust and handle this matter well!"

After Jiajing got Zhang Juzheng's assurance, he also put his mind at ease and said.

"I know that you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, not only to be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Department of Maritime Trade, but also to be responsible for the construction work of the Marine Division, and right now, you are also shouldering the heavy responsibility of installing new weapons!"

"When these things are over, I will reward you well."

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"It is the duty of a courtier to share worries for the king!"

"Wei Chen can do his best to help His Majesty, he already feels quite content, how dare he ask for anything else?"

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Jiajing seemed to be touched, and after looking Zhang Juzheng up and down, he sighed with emotion.

"Yes, yes, if my Ming courtiers are like Aiqing, if they are honest and honest, why wouldn't my Ming be happy!"

After sighing, Jiajing turned his gaze to Yan Song and Xu Jie on the side, and said lightly.

"What did you two think about the rebuilding of the Divine Machine Camp that I proposed earlier?"
