Chapter 351: The Cabinet Deliberations Coming as Scheduled

Early in the morning, Yan Mansion.

At this moment, Yan Song was sitting next to the bookcase, browsing the corresponding books, preparing for the upcoming cabinet deliberations.

Just as Yan Song was thinking about it, he heard a knock on the door.

Yan Song's thoughts were interrupted, and he had no choice but to put down the book in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Come in!"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Yan Shifan pushed the door in, his face full of respect.

"Father!"

"Hmm."

Seeing this, Yan Song just nodded, withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan's body, and responded imperceptibly.

Then, Yan Shifan came to Yan Song's side and said in a low voice.

"Father, what you told me earlier has been done, and the boy has dealt with all those guys!"

When Yan Song heard this, he picked up the book on the table again and asked again.

"Didn't you deal with it from beginning to end, didn't you leave any handles?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured Yan Song.

"Father, don't worry, the whole process has not left a trace."

After getting Yan Shifan's assurance, Yan Song relieved his heart, and then admonished.

"Be careful about everything, you can't go wrong!"

After telling Yan Shifan, Yan Song immediately issued an eviction order.

"Okay, it's time for the cabinet to discuss matters soon, I still have something to deal with, you can go out first."

"Yes, Father!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately saluted Yan Song respectfully.

Just as Yan Shifan was about to walk out of the room, he suddenly turned around and reported to Yan Songyu.

"By the way, father, the child has already investigated the matter of the note you submitted to His Majesty."

"On that day, the eunuch who was in charge of approving the red was Feng Bao, the eunuch of the East Factory!"

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said to himself silently: "Feng Bao......"

Afterwards, Yan Song retracted his thoughts and instructed Yan Songfan: "Well, I know about this matter, you go down first!" ”

Seeing this, Yan Shifan didn't stay any longer, and immediately left Yan Song's room, and along the way, he also closed the door.

……

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

At this time, Jiajing was sitting on the dragon chair, waiting for Lu Fang's arrival, and after a while, he saw Lu Fang take silent steps and enter the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Lu Fang knelt on the ground and saluted Jiajing respectfully.

"The slave has seen Your Majesty!"

"Well, get up!"

Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows when he saw Lu Fang coming, and immediately commanded.

After Lu Fang got up from the ground, Jiajing asked Lu Fang, "How is the situation on the Shen side, is everything okay?" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, there was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, and he immediately responded.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine with the concubine's side, and she asked the slave to bring you a word!"

When Jiajing heard this, his face was full of curiosity, and he immediately asked.

"Oh, what did she tell you to say to me?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang did not hesitate at all, and immediately repeated what Shen asked him to bring.

"Your Majesty, the concubine said that she missed you, and asked when you would be able to go to the Ganlu Palace to live for a while?"

After listening to Lu Fang's words, Jiajing couldn't help but smile dumbly and said slowly.

"Alas, I still owe her!"

"I plan to wait for the child in Shen's womb to be born, and then canonize her as the queen, Lu Fang, what do you think?"

When Lu Fang heard this, his face was full of horror, his brain crashed instantly, and he didn't react for a while, until Jiajing's call pulled it back to reality.

"Lu Fang, what are you doing there, I am asking you!"

After Lu Fang came back to his senses suddenly and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, he responded respectfully.

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide this matter!"

Hearing this, Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and after carefully looking him up and down, he spoke.

"Let's go, it's time for the cabinet to deliberate soon, let's go with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he immediately followed Jiajing's pace step by step and marched in the direction of the cabinet.

And on the way to the cabinet, Lu Fang's mind still kept echoing, the words that Jiajing said earlier.

"I plan to canonize her as the queen after the child in Shen's womb is born!"

Thinking of this, Lu Fang couldn't help clenching his fists and secretly said to himself in his heart.

"Niangniang, you must let the child in your belly be born smoothly!"

……

At the moment, the atmosphere in the cabinet was rather dreary, and no one spoke.

Everyone was intently reading the notes in their hands, and the only sound in the room was the rustle of the papers.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, and after a while, only a shrill voice was heard.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Hearing this, everyone was a little overwhelmed, and they stopped reading the notes in their hands, and then, under the leadership of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, they knelt on the ground in unison, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

A moment later, I saw Jiajing stepping into the cabinet, and Lu Fang followed behind Jiajing.

"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Jiajing sat down in his place, then withdrew his gaze and commanded rather casually.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's consent, everyone slowly got up from the ground and sat down in their respective positions.

Although they had rehearsed it in their minds countless times before, when this moment actually came, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

Even Yan Song's hands on the chair couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Jiajing looked around before he spoke.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's officially begin!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang, who was waiting on the side, and bowed slightly to him, and the latter quickly signaled, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"There are four main things to be discussed in today's cabinet meeting!"

"The first thing is the integration of the officials and gentry, the second thing is the transfer of the strategic focus of my Ming Dynasty, the third thing is the many matters of maritime trade, and the fourth thing is related to the officials' holidays."

Lu Fang's voice fell, and after saluting Jiajing respectfully, he came to his place and stood still.

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded, and then knocked on the jade pan beside him, only to hear a crisp sound of 'ding', this cabinet meeting has officially begun!

Jiajing gently rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and asked him.

"Elder Yan Ge, how have you thought about it these days?"

Although Jiajing's tone was quite flat, Yan Song still felt a strong sense of crisis from it, and Yan Song responded cautiously after considering his sentence.

"Your Majesty, since Wechen went back from you last time, I have thought about it carefully, and Wechen feels that if the policy of integrating the officials and gentry into the grain can be thoroughly implemented, it will be of great benefit!"

When Yan Song said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face at the right time: "It's just that Your Majesty, Weichen hasn't thought of a way to carry out this policy for the time being!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"This Yan Song is really an old fox, and he took himself out in a few words."

"You're better, I'm going to be miserable!"

The development of things really did not surprise Xu Jie, after listening to Yan Song's answer, Jiajing nodded, turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and asked.

"Xu Jie, tell me, do you think so too?"
