Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Seeing this, Li Chunfang and Xu Xuemo in the room immediately stopped talking, and after that, they saw Li Chunfang clear his throat and immediately commanded.

"Come in!"

The voice fell, and only a 'squeak' was heard, and the door to the room was pushed open, and a servant walked in.

After entering the room, he saluted Li Chunfang and Xu Xuemo on the side respectively before he spoke.

"Lord Shangshu, not long ago, the cabinet sent someone to send a message, saying that a delegation of Rakshasa people will visit the capital in the near future, and I hope that the host and guest department will prepare in advance!"

After listening to the report of the officials, Li Chunfang couldn't help frowning, and immediately, he waved his hand and commanded.

"Well, the official knows, you go down first!"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

After receiving Li Chunfang's instructions, the Xu official did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and left.

After the official left, Li Chunfang's face was full of helplessness, and he turned his gaze to Xu Xuemo on the side, and then spoke.

"Alas, it's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the Ministry of Rites was about to be too busy, but at this time, a Rakshasa delegation visited the capital!"

Xu Xuemo, who was on the side, saw Li Chunfang's sad face, and after thinking for a while, he immediately stood up and proposed to Li Chunfang.

"My lord, you might as well leave this matter to the subordinate officials to take care of, so that you can free up your energy and concentrate on the next exam held separately for the clan and nobles, what do you think?"

In the face of Xu Xuemo's proposal, Li Chunfang did not shirk too much, and agreed.

"Well, in that case, this official will hand over this errand to you to be in charge, and you can go to the host and guest department later and discuss it with them!"

"Yes, sir!"

When Li Chunfang's words fell, Xu Xuemo immediately replied in a deep voice.

……

Time passed slowly, in the evening, the Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, I saw Jiajing sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be closed.

The Spirit Gathering Array that shrouded the Qianqing Palace automatically operated, gathering all the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles to the Qianqing Palace.

As the aura in the Qianqing Palace became more and more abundant, the Qi Recipe cultivated by Jiajing operated automatically, and in an instant, the aura around him was absorbed into Jiajing's body at an extremely fast speed.

The part of the aura that was absorbed into Jiajing's body, through the operation route of the exercises, circulated in various meridians in the body, and after a week, it rushed towards the cyclone of the dantian in Jiajing's body.

This part of the aura, since entering the cyclone in the dantian, is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no reaction at all.

If it weren't for Jiajing's perception of the mana in his body, with a trace of negligible growth, he might have thought that he hadn't absorbed the aura at all.

Soon, all the aura in the Qianqing Palace was absorbed into Jiajing's body, but at this moment, Jiajing only felt that the cyclone in his dantian seemed to be like a black hole, no matter how much aura was filled in, it would be useless.

After this, I saw Jiajing take a deep breath, immediately withdraw from the cultivation state, and slowly get up from the futon.

When Jiajing finished his cultivation and came out of the Qianqing Palace, the sky had already darkened, and the Forbidden City was also lit up with orange light.

Around the Qianqing Palace, from time to time, there were palace maids and eunuchs carrying lanterns, as well as heavily armed forbidden troops passing by.

After a while, I saw Lu Fang walking quickly in front of Jiajing and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

Jiajing replied imperceptibly, then withdrew his gaze from the distant scenery, and commanded.

"Lu Fang, let's go with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he immediately followed Jiajing's steps, and the master and servant walked along the stone-paved road towards the distance, and behind them, they were followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids who served.

Along the way, the eunuchs and palace maids on both sides of the road knelt on the ground in fear when they saw the arrival of the holy car.

When he came to a quiet path, Jiajing paused, turned around, and spoke to himself.

"Lu Fang, in fact, I've been worrying about one thing these days!"

When Lu Fang on the side heard this, he couldn't help but 'chuckle' in his heart, and he carefully considered his tone before he spoke.

"Your Majesty, if you have any troubles, you might as well talk to the slave maid, and the slave may be able to give you some advice for Your Majesty."

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he nodded, and then spoke.

"I'm thinking, when Hu Zongxian comes to the capital, what position should I let him hold, you know, there are not many vacant positions in the six ministries at present, whether it is the household department, the etiquette department, or the official department, or the military department!"

"As for the other positions, they don't match his status at all!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately raised his spirit, and after thinking about it for a long time, and after weighing the pros and cons, he cautiously proposed to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks, in fact, it is not without vacancies, isn't it just the errand of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry at the same time? ”

"Or, find an opportunity to let Yan Shifan give up the position of the secretary of the ministry, so as to reduce the burden on him?"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately made a decision.

"Well, Lu Fang, you're right, at present, Yan Shifan has both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Works, I feel that it's time to lighten the burden on him!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing that his proposal was accepted by Jiajing, Lu Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that it is most appropriate for Xu Ge Lao and them to come forward in this matter!"

When Lu Fang said this, he didn't wait for Jiajing to respond, and then added.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, this ministry has been known as the "Heavenly Palace", and the ministry is firmly in charge of the personnel appointment of officials, and its power is extremely heavy! ”

"The appointment, evaluation, or dismissal of officials, big and small, must be through the hands of the officials!"

"In recent years, Yan Shifan, the old man of the small pavilion, has been a minister and a worker, although he is in the limelight in the DPRK, but secretly, there are also many officials who have a lot of complaints about him!"

Lu Fang paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued to add.

"Your Majesty, what the slave means is that from this part of the officials, find an official who is still reasonable in terms of ability, conduct, etc., and use this as a basis, so that Yan Shifan can obediently give up the position of the secretary of the ministry!"

After listening to Lu Fang's words, Jiajing did not raise any objections to this, but reminded unhurriedly.

"Well, I'm right, Lu Fang, you remember, the whole process must be justified, everything must be in accordance with the rules of officialdom, and people can't find faults, understand?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, the expression on his face became extremely humble, and immediately, he saw him leaning down and responding respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will definitely handle this matter properly!" (End of chapter)
