Forbidden City, Cabinet.

At this moment, everyone was dealing with the music in front of them as usual, but if you look closely, you can see that the high arch at this moment has a lingering worry on her face.

"Alas, I don't know what the situation is on His Highness's side, I hope he won't anger Your Majesty!"

Gao Gong thought so, and immediately glanced at Zhang Juzheng quietly, since he returned from Yuwang's Mansion last night, Gao Gong had been thinking about the suggestion that Zhang Juzheng had made earlier.

For Gao Gong, being able to let his student Zhu Zaikun spend this life in peace and stability is his biggest expectation at present.

Gao Gong Huan Hai has been up and down for decades, how can you not understand the cruelty of the power struggle, after all, if you are not careful, you will end up losing everything!

In Gao Gong's opinion, his student Zhu Zaikun has completely lost hope, rather than continue to stay in the capital and be used by Xu Jie, it is better to simply ask His Majesty to take the initiative to become a vassal, so that he can take this opportunity to stay away from the power vortex of the capital.

Gao Gong specially inquired, King Jing was sent by Jiajing to the fiefdom of De'an to take up the domain, life was quite leisurely, and there was no longer the feeling of trembling and walking on thin ice when he was in the capital.

Although he knew that this was the best solution, Gao Gong still couldn't make up his mind, because he couldn't convince himself to take action against his students!

"Alas, let's take one step at a time, as long as the situation has not deteriorated to that point, there is still hope!"

After Gao Gong comforted himself like this, he immediately suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and began to concentrate on dealing with the notes in front of him.

But soon, a letter handed over by Tan Lun attracted Gao Gong's attention, and he saw that it was written.

"Your Majesty, Weichen recently received a report from Yang Zongtai, the prefect of Quanzhou, saying that there is a group of Rakshasa people who want to carry out long-term trade with my Ming Dynasty and buy silk, tea, and porcelain from my Ming Dynasty, and the condition they put forward is to meet Your Majesty in person......"

After Gao Gong roughly skimmed through the above contents, he turned his gaze to Yan Song and followed the opening.

"Elder Yan Ge, you see, this is Tan Lun's submission, which says that there is a group of Rakshasa people who want to start a long-term trade with my Ming Dynasty and buy my Ming silk, tea, and porcelain."

After Gao Gong finished speaking, he got up from the seat and handed the song to Yan Song's hand.

Yan Song took it from Gao Gong's hand, and did not rush to look at the contents, but followed with emotion.

"This is obviously a great thing, and in this way, the treasury will have a large amount of money!"

When Gao Gong heard this, his face couldn't help but show embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Elder Yan Ge, let's not hide it, in addition to wanting to carry out long-term trade with my Daming, those Rakshasas also made an additional request, they want to meet Your Majesty!"

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

"Hmph, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you have every opportunity, how can you find time to receive these barbarians!"

And Xu Jie, who was on the side, after listening to Yan Song's words, followed up to express his dissent.

"Since ancient times, we are the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, in the Han and Tang dynasties, all the countries of Fanbang in all directions will send envoys to worship, and now, the national strength of my Ming Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, these barbarian countries are afraid of my Ming, so they sent envoys to come!"

"If we refuse their court, won't it seem that I am too petty?"

Xu Jie paused for a moment when he said this, and then added.

"Besides, let's take this opportunity to show them the bearing of the Heavenly Empire, expand the influence of my Ming Dynasty, and make them dare not have different hearts, Elder Yan Ge, what do you think?"

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after a long time, he saw that he carefully put the music in his hand into his sleeve, nodded, and said to Xu Jie.

"Well, this matter is not trivial, it is more appropriate for us to inform Your Majesty of this matter, Elder Xu Ge, what do you think?"

Xu Jie saw Yan Song kick the ball back to his feet, and couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart.

After this, I saw that Xu Jie hesitated slightly, and then agreed to Yan Song's proposal.

"Elder Yan Ge has a point, let's go to His Majesty's side!"

"Hmm."

Immediately, Yan Song and Xu Jie, after telling the remaining three people in the cabinet, embarked on the road to the Qianqing Palace together.

As soon as he walked out of the cabinet, Xu Jie shifted his gaze to Yan Song's body and asked closely.

"By the way, Elder Yan Ge, have you compiled a report on the silver taels needed to strengthen the embankment and reported it to the celebrant supervisor?"

When Yan Song heard Xu Jie's words, his heart suddenly understood, and without the slightest hesitation, he responded with his words.

"Don't worry, Elder Xu Ge, I'll send someone to send it to the celebrant early in the morning!"

"Hmm."

When Xu Jie heard this, the whole person suddenly relaxed, and couldn't help but speed up the pace under his feet.

……

At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, Lu Fang was respectfully standing beside Jiajing, reporting the progress of the matter to him.

"Your Majesty, the Weapons Department said that they will definitely make the bullets on the drawings as soon as possible!"

"Well, I know!"

Regarding Lu Fang's report, Jiajing just responded rather casually.

At this moment, Jiajing's attention was focused on the budget report on the construction and reinforcement of the embankment that was sent by the celebrant not long ago.

And this report is the specific amount that Jiajing got not long ago, after asking Yan Song and Xu Jie to go down to discuss.

"Hmph, nine million six hundred and fifty thousand taels, Yan Song and Xu Jie, these two guys, what a big appetite!"

Jiajing said this, but there was no look of annoyance on his face, and after he had roughly skimmed through the contents of the budget report, he immediately put it aside.

At this moment, I saw the guide eunuch hurriedly walked in, and after entering the Qianqing Palace, he subconsciously looked at Jiajing, leaned down, and reported respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are asking to see each other outside, saying that they have something important to report!"

After listening to the report of the guide eunuch, Jiajing couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face, and subconsciously spoke.

"What are the two of them doing here?"

After pondering for a while, I saw Jiajing come back to his senses, turn his gaze to the guide eunuch, and give instructions.

"Well, let the two of them come in and see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's specific instructions, the guide eunuch did not hesitate at all, but turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.

After guiding the eunuch to leave, Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang on the side, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"Lu Fang, you say, what are the two of them looking for me to do at this time?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he lowered his head quickly, and after thinking about it for a long time, he responded cautiously.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't know why Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge came to meet you at this moment, but what the slave maid can confirm is that the matter of being able to let the two of them go out in person will definitely not be a trivial matter!"

Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body, and laughed loudly: "Lu Fang, Lu Fang, what you said is the same as if you didn't say it!" ”
