That night, Qianqing Palace.

I saw Jiajing finish the Qing cultivation and slowly get up from the futon, and Lu Fang on the side saw this situation and immediately greeted him.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

After that, Jiajing looked at the sky outside, and immediately turned around and instructed Lu Fang on the side.

"It's a nice day today, go out with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately followed Jiajing and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

At night, a slight breeze blows, coupled with the stars in the sky, make for a refreshing experience.

Along the way, those eunuchs and palace maids saw the emperor traveling, and hurriedly stopped what they were doing, and retreated to the side in a panic, the lanterns in their hands emitting orange lights.

Jiajing was like this, pacing leisurely, wandering around the Forbidden City, perhaps tired of it, only to see Jiajing stop in front of a pavilion.

Seeing this, the eunuchs and palace maids behind him immediately stepped forward, covered the stone bench with soft cushions, and placed all kinds of delicate pastries on the table, such as a jade-like cyan teapot, and it was still steaming.

Jiajing looked at Lu Fang, who was still standing, and commanded.

"You sit with us!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he didn't dare to make any excuses, and immediately sat opposite Jiajing.

The maid on the side immediately stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for Jiajing and Lu Fang.

Jiajing admired the night view around him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Today's weather is really good!" ”

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang immediately spoke in response.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to Qin Tianjian, the weather in the past few days should be pretty good."

Jiajing didn't make any comment on this, just picked up the teacup and took a sip on his own, and immediately, he saw Jiajing pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and immediately instructed Lu Fang.

"Lu Fang, you try it, this is a new taste over there in the imperial dining room!"

Lu Fang didn't dare to refuse, so she quickly picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, savoring the taste.

"How does it taste?"

"Well, that's good, it's much stronger than ever!"

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's face, and instead complained: "Sometimes I really don't know what is going on over there in the imperial dining room, how can a good thing be so unpalatable in their hands!" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he assured Jiajing: "Your Majesty, do you need a slave maid to go to the imperial dining room......

Before Lu Fang's words were finished, he heard Jiajing immediately add: "Forget it, sooner or later, I will have to replace all the imperial kitchens in the imperial dining room!" ”

At this moment, I saw Jiajing change his words and ask Lu Fang: "By the way, Lu Fang, is there any news about my two sons recently?" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he sighed in his heart, and after considering the language in his mind, he replied cautiously.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jing, since he arrived in the fiefdom, he hasn't acted too out of line, not only that, His Royal Highness King Jing is also quite kind to the local people."

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing nodded imperceptibly, and then said coldly: "It seems that this rebel has listened to my previous words, if he dares to come nonsense, I won't pick his skin!" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he was immediately frightened, with his understanding of Jiajing, Jiajing could really do this kind of thing, even if it was his own son.

After this, Jiajing saw that Lu Fang's face was full of hesitation, and immediately asked: "Say, why don't you continue to talk about it, there is also King Yu!" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, after the battle between heaven and man for a long time, he bit his lip tightly and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu, in recent days, has been ...... with Xu Ge."

Before Lu Fang's words were finished, he was interrupted impatiently by Jiajing: "Okay, don't say any more, I already know what you want to say!" ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately lowered his head and looked at the ground intently, intending to reduce his sense of existence.

The more Jiajing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he immediately slapped the table and reprimanded: "This evil obstacle, if you want me to say, he is not as good as his fourth brother!" ”

"Zhu Zaizhen at least knows where to sit on his ass, what about him?"

"This idiot, he was fooled so much that he didn't know what his surname was, with his virtue, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my Ming Dynasty to him!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced.

"It seems that Your Majesty's side has long been disappointed in King Yu and King Jing, so Your Majesty should pin all your hopes on the child in the belly of the Imperial Concubine Shen!"

"In addition, now that Your Majesty has achieved cultivation, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is also under the leadership of Your Majesty, and it is thriving!"

"At that time, when the child in the belly of the imperial concubine succeeds to the emperor, His Majesty will leave him with an empire that is extremely powerful!"

Thinking of this, Lu Fang couldn't help but raise her head, looked at the stars hanging in the air, and prayed secretly.

"Niangniang, you have to work harder, everyone is counting on the child in your belly!"

Just when Lu Fang was stunned, Jiajing's voice sounded in his ears: "Lu Fang, since just now, you have been thinking like you are worried, what are you thinking?" ”

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, I saw Lu Fang suddenly come back to his senses, his eyes full of dodge: "Your Majesty, the slave maid just thought of something inconsequential!" ”

Seeing this situation, Jiajing did not delve into it, and immediately withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body, and commanded.

"Okay, let's accompany me to Ganlu Palace, I want to take it to see the imperial concubine!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

At this moment, Yan Mansion.

Since Yan Song's illness recovered, Yan Shifan has gradually returned to his previous life.

At this moment, Yan Shifan was in the room, muttering silently to the steam engine drawings drawn in front of him.

"Well, what is it to make the steam engine as efficient as it should be?"

Just as Yan Shifan was still thinking about this, he heard a knock on the door.

The thoughts in his mind were interrupted, Yan Shifan suddenly became impatient, and after a while, he said coldly.

"Who?"

As soon as Yan Shifan's words fell, the voice of the housekeeper came from outside the door.

"Xiao Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao will let you go over!"

"Well, I see, I'll be right over!"

After that, Yan Shifan glanced at the steam engine drawings in the room quite reluctantly, and immediately sighed helplessly, pushed open the door, and walked towards the room where Yan Song was.

When Yan Shifan came to the room where Yan Song was, he took a deep breath, and after adjusting his mood, he pushed the door in.

As soon as Yan Shifan entered the room, he turned his gaze to Yan Song, who was sitting behind the bookcase, and asked.

"Father, what are you looking for me?"

When Yan Song heard this, he immediately took his eyes off the book in front of him, pointed to the vacant space on the side with his finger, and immediately commanded.

"Sit, don't close the door!"

"Yes, Father!"

After listening to Yan Song's instructions, Yan Shifan did not doubt him, and immediately sat down in the position pointed by Yan Song.

After Yan Shifan sat down on the seat, he didn't wait for Yan Song to speak, so he took the first step to ask.

"Father, it's so late, you still haven't rested?"

When Yan Song heard this, he immediately took his eyes off the book in front of him and commanded.

"I came to you to tell you that from now on, pay more attention to this Zhang Juzheng."

When Yan Shifan heard this, his face was full of doubt, and he immediately spoke.

"Father, isn't this Zhang Juzheng from Xu Jie's side, why do you want to ...... alone?"

After listening to Yan Shifan's answer, Yan Song glanced at him hatefully, and then explained: "Who told you that Zhang Ju is from Xu Jie's side?" ”

After Yan Song finished speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "If he was someone from Xu Jie's side, would he still need to inform us that Qingliu was going to destroy the embankment and flood the fields in Zhejiang?" ”

When Yan Shifan heard this, he subconsciously looked at Yan Song, his face was full of incredulity, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Father, you are saying that the original letter was sent to us by Zhang Juzheng!" ”

When Yan Song heard this, he nodded slightly, and then continued: "This is natural, this little thing, I can't hide it from Yan Song!" ”

At this moment, Yan Shifan was completely stunned, and immediately, he plucked up his courage and asked Yan Song: "Father, since you know, why didn't you tell the child in the first place?" ”

When Yan Song heard this, he was speechless, it was impossible for him to tell Yan Shifan that this Zhang Juzheng was also from His Majesty's side.

Yan Song knew that this was a layer of window paper that could never be pierced, and he was ready to take this secret to the tomb.

Immediately, I saw Yan Song turn his gaze to Yan Shifan, lowered his eyes, and said to himself silently: "Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Zhang Juzheng, heh, all of us are under the control of Your Majesty!" ”

After that, I saw Yan Song come back to his senses, an angry expression appeared on his face, and he immediately reprimanded: "Won't you use your own brains? ”

"The content of that letter is so detailed, and even contains the detailed plan discussed by Xu Jie and the others, if it wasn't on the scene, how could you know about it?"

"Besides, this matter, it can't be leaked by Gao Gong, as far as I know, he is still waiting for the position of Xu Jie!"

After listening to Yan Song's explanation, Yan Shifan immediately put on an expression of sudden realization, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and said excitedly: "Father, the child understands!" ”

Immediately, a look of hesitation appeared on Yan Shifan's face, he looked at Yan Song cautiously, and asked: "Father, what the child doesn't understand is that in this case, why do you want the child to pay more attention to this Zhang Juzheng?" ”

When Yan Song heard this, he glanced at Yan Shifan, and immediately said: "I am asking you to learn more from others, Yan Shifan, I have a hunch that he will have to sit in this position of the first assistant of the cabinet in the future!" ”

When Yan Song said this, his eyes were full of determination.

When Yan Shifan heard this, the look of surprise on his face flashed, and he subconsciously said, "Father, the child thinks ......"

Who knew that Yan Shifan's words had not finished speaking, so he went straight to Yan Song's extraordinarily cold gaze, and immediately stopped talking stiffly, buried his head deeply, and didn't dare to say another word.

At this moment, Yan Song's voice without the slightest emotion sounded in Yan Shifan's ears: "Have you remembered what I just told you?" ”

Although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, Yan Shifan still replied stubbornly.

"Yes, father, the child remembers!"

When Yan Song heard this, after looking Yan Shifan up and down, he commanded.

"Well, it's not too early, you should go back to your room and rest early!"

"Yes, Father!"

……

The night was already very deep, but at this moment, Hai Rui still did not feel the slightest sleep, he just lay on the bed, a pair of eyes staring directly at the night outside the window.

After the value, Hai Rui did not stay out too much, but went home directly.

In order not to worry his wife, even at the dinner table, Hai Rui did not inform his wife Wang of the news that he was about to go to Shandong to investigate the White Lotus Sect.

Even though Hai Rui had been thinking about the sentence in his mind for a long time, he didn't say it.

At this moment, looking at the quiet sleeping face of his wife on the side, Hai Rui sighed helplessly, immediately put on his clothes, and tiptoed out of the room.

At this moment, I saw Hai Rui sitting next to the bookcase, holding a copy of "Da Ming Law" in his hand, and was carefully studying.

Just as he was immersed in the many cases and various terms, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of Hai Rui, blocking the light in front of him.

Seeing this, Hai Rui subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw the figure of the person who came clearly, he held back all the words he originally wanted to say.

After a while, I saw Hai Rui close the "Da Ming Law" in his hand, laughed, and immediately asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The person who came was Hai Rui's wife Wang, and at this moment she was as cold as ice, and she didn't choose to pick up Hai Rui's words, but said coldly: "I want to ask you, don't sleep so late, go to the study to read "Da Ming Law", Hai Rui, are you stupid to be an official!" ”

In the face of his wife's doubts, Hai Rui was speechless, after all, it is indeed an irrefutable fact that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the study to read "Da Ming Law".

Just as Hai Rui was about to explain hard and fool his wife over, he saw Wang sigh helplessly, as if he saw through Hai Rui's whole person.

"Tell me, did something happen again?"

"I didn't ...... No, it's just that I can't sleep! ”

Wang naturally didn't believe Hai Rui's words, and immediately, he withdrew his gaze from Hai Rui's body and said slowly: "Don't you know you yet, when you have dinner at night, you have something to say to me, but you haven't spoken!" ”

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Hai Rui immediately stopped hiding it, so he told the Wang family that he was about to go to Shandong to investigate the White Lotus Sect.

After listening to Hai Rui's narration, Wang was also silent for a long time, and then saw him come back to his senses and remind: "Well, since you have already agreed, then go!" ”

When Wang said this, he suddenly changed his words and continued: "But what I want to remind you is, don't be reckless, don't rush forward stupidly when you encounter something, and pay more attention to your own safety, understand?" ”

After listening to his wife Wang's advice, Hai Rui couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart, and then said softly: "I'll pay attention!" ”
