Jiajing's voice fell, and he immediately took the song from Lu Fang's hand and began to carefully browse the content on it.

After a long time, I saw Jiajing put aside the music in his hand, turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and said slowly.

"This Yan Song is very anxious, but I just want to dry him for a few days!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang chose to remain silent.

Then, I saw Jiajing gently rubbing the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, and asked with a twist of words.

"Lu Fang, if I'm not mistaken, Gonggong Shi seems to be about to leave the palace, right?"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately looked dignified and reported respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after a while, Gonggong Shi will officially leave the palace."

After getting Lu Fang's answer, Jiajing thought for a moment and sighed.

"This Gonggong Shi is an old man in the palace, and he has been in the palace since I can remember."

"Now, even he has reached the time of retirement."

Lu Fang was extremely keenly aware of the loneliness in Jiajing's words, and just as he was about to say comfort, he saw Jiajing's words turn sharply, and then continued.

"After Gonggong Shi leaves, your godson Feng Bao will take his place."

"This Feng Bao, heh, it's pretty good, act decisively, Lu Fang, you have accepted a good son."

"I hope you two don't let me down!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the music stacked on the bookcase on the side, and said quietly.

Lu Fang, who was on the side, quickly reacted, this was the emperor reminding himself not to forget his identity.

Afterwards, I saw Lu Fangbi kneeling on the ground respectfully and making a promise to Jiajing.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter what happens, the slave will be on your side!"

Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body, nodded imperceptibly, and asked him.

"By the way, what's going on over there?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after a pause, he replied.

"Your Majesty, Hai Rui got the file from Zhao Zhenji that recorded the information of local officials in Henan, and in the last few days, he has stayed at home to learn about the specific situation."

After Jiajing learned the news from Lu Fang, he nodded and commanded in a deep voice.

"When the time comes, in addition to the normal guards, a few more brocade guards will be sent to protect Hai Rui's safety in secret."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and immediately responded in a deep voice.

Immediately after, as if he suddenly remembered, Jiajing took out a letter from his bosom and then commanded.

"As is customary, send this letter to Hai Jui's ship!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Night, Yan Mansion.

Since being reprimanded by Yan Song last time, Yan Shifan has refused all entertainment, locked himself in his room, and studied hard.

At this moment, I saw Yan Shifan put down the scroll in his hand and rubbed his tired eyes.

Outside the window, the moonlight spills on the ground, and the breeze comes and goes, which makes people feel more comfortable.

"It's getting dark so soon?"

Yan Shifan looked at the night scene outside the window and muttered to himself silently.

At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao asked you to go to the study, he has something to ask you." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shifan nodded, then got up from the seat and said loudly.

"I know, I'll be right over!"

Then, Yan Shifan pushed open the door and walked towards Yan Song's study, and after passing through a long corridor, Yan Shifan came to Yan Song's study and pushed the door straight in.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"Well, here you are, sit!"

When Yan Song saw Yan Shifan coming in, he took off the reading glasses he was wearing, pointed to the vacant space on the side with his finger, and spoke.

After Yan Shifan sat down in his seat, Yan Song asked.

"When you were in the cabinet today, did you see the note I presented to Your Majesty?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and quickly gave an answer.

"Father, as far as the child knows, this letter of yours has already been sent to the celebrant priest!"

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and then spoke.

"In that case, why haven't I received a reply from His Majesty until now?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty's side didn't see my performance at all, or maybe there was something wrong with the celebrant and supervisor?"

Just as Yan Song was thinking wildly, Yan Shifan saw this and immediately comforted him.

"Father, you don't need to panic, maybe Your Majesty is too busy to notice the note you handed him, just wait!"

After listening to Yan Shifan's comfort, Yan Song gradually relaxed and muttered to himself silently.

"Yes, it must be so, Your Majesty's side is still inseparable from me for the time being, it must be that Your Majesty's side hasn't seen the note I handed over, just wait for tomorrow!"

……

Zhejiang, Hangzhou.

In the largest restaurant in Hangzhou, at this moment, He Mao opened the box early, waiting for Zheng Michang's arrival.

"Why hasn't this Zheng Michang come yet, will there be something delayed on the road?"

After He Maocai finished speaking, he waited for a long time, and when he was bored, he saw him pick up the wine glass on the side and drink the wine in the glass.

At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, the door of the box was pushed open, and Zheng Michang entered the box in a hurry.

Seeing this, He Mao also breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of blame appeared on his face, and then he spoke.

"Lao Zheng, what's the matter, why did you come here at this time?"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he sighed helplessly and complained to He Maocai.

"Alas, don't mention it, there have been a lot of affairs in the political envoy department recently, and I haven't had a good rest for a few days in a row!"

When He Maocai heard this, a look of curiosity couldn't help but appear on his face, and he immediately asked.

"Recently, nothing major has happened in the DPRK, what do you have to do?"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he drank all the wine in the cup and complained.

"Recently, I don't know what the Governor is doing, but they have started to train that group of surrendered pirates!"

"What, I heard you right, train those pirates!"

When He Maocai learned the news from Zheng Michang's mouth, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Shhhhh

Seeing this, Zheng Michang immediately panicked, and hurriedly signaled He Maocai to be quiet.

"Uh-huh, Lao Zheng, you go on."

Seeing this, He Maocai immediately lowered his voice and motioned for Zheng Michang to continue.

Seeing this, Zheng Michang paused for a moment before continuing.

"Lao He, do you still remember, the last time the Governor said that when you meet a Japanese Kou, you can't simply and rudely execute them as before, but you must choose people who are willing to be loyal to my Daming."

Hearing this, He Maocai recalled for a long time before he spoke.

"It seems that there is such a thing, what's wrong?"

Subsequently, I saw Zheng Michang pick up the chopsticks, pick up the dishes, and put them in his mouth to savor them.

When He Maocai saw this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly urged: "Lao Zheng, don't be slow, say it quickly!" ”

Zheng Michang put down his chopsticks, turned his gaze to He Maocai, and said in a deep voice.

"I asked Xiao Ge Lao for confirmation of this matter, but he didn't answer directly, just said that this is what it means!"

"In the entire Ming Dynasty, who else ...... besides Your Majesty?"

Before Zheng Michang's words were finished, he was interrupted by He Maocai.

"You mean to say that the Imperial Court is preparing for an attack on Japan right now?"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he shook his head like a rattle, and immediately spoke.

"That's what you said, I didn't say anything."
