Since then, several days have passed, and during these days, Jiajing has been running to Xiyuan every night to practice the flying of Edgeworth.

After a few days of practice, Jiajing seems to have successfully mastered the art of flying with the sword.

After this, Lu Fang also ended his cultivation and returned to Jiajing, and the previous rumors that were widely circulated in the palace were also self-defeating.

On the docks, Nils. Rosen and his entourage looked at the city of Beijing close at hand, and their faces were full of shock.

"My God, there is such a magnificent city here, even Madrid, the most prosperous capital of Spain, cannot compare with this city!"

"This is truly the kingdom of heaven on earth as depicted in the Bible!"

In addition to the magnificent city, the surrounding buildings, clean and tidy streets, and bustling crowds also had a great impact on Niels and his party.

"The air here is really sweet!"

Niels. Rosen said with emotion after taking a greedy breath of the air here.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the accompanying Ming officials, Niels and his party were temporarily taken to live in the same hall in the capital.

After Niels and his party were settled in the guild hall, someone soon reported the news to the Ministry of Rites.

……

Forbidden City, Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, Li Chunfang is in the study, dealing with the corresponding official business.

The Ministry of Rites received the news early on that a Rakshasa delegation would visit the capital in the near future and meet His Majesty.

Because not long ago, Li Chunfang was busy proposing for the next exam specifically for Yu, the clan, and the nobles.

Therefore, the preparations for the reception of the Rakshasa mission were given full authority to Xu Xuemo, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, on Li Chunfang's bookcase, there was a list of gifts carried by the Rakshasa mission that had been reported by officials at all levels below.

"Forty-six ivory, eight globes, five telescopes, six thousand catties of spices, three thousand two hundred and twenty taels of gold, in addition to this, there are various books on arithmetic, astronomy, etc., ......"

Just as Li Chunfang was still checking the list of gifts, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

When the words fell, I heard a 'squeak', and the door of the room was pushed open, only to see a servant walk in and report respectfully.

"Lord Shangshu, Lord Xu is out asking to see you!"

"Well, the official knows, let him in!"

After listening to the report of the officials, Li Chunfang nodded imperceptibly and commanded.

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

When the officials heard Li Chunfang's words, they quickly took the order and left, and after a while, they saw Xu Xuemo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, enter the room under the guidance of the officials.

After Xu Xuemo entered the room, he leaned down and bowed to Li Chunfang.

"Xiaguan has seen adults!"

Seeing Xu Xuemo's arrival, Li Chunfang nodded imperceptibly, and then changed the conversation and asked.

"Well, Shuming, come here this time, is there anything that needs to be reported?"

Hearing this, Xu Xuemo nodded, and reported respectfully.

"Lord Yushangshu, the Rakshasa mission has arrived in the capital, and they have now settled in the Huitong Pavilion!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately sighed.

"Whew, this Rakshasa mission has finally arrived!"

After this, I saw Li Chunfang looking at Xu Xuemo and commanding in a deep voice.

"Shu Ming, later, you and the officials from Honglu Temple will go to the Huitong Pavilion together, meet them, and tell them all the things you need to pay attention to when meeting Your Majesty."

"In addition, according to this list, count the gifts they brought this time!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, he handed over the list of gifts on the bookcase to Xu Xuemo.

Xu Xuemo looked at the list of gifts that were handed over to him, and immediately looked dazed and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

Hearing this, Li Chunfang waved his hand, and immediately spoke.

"Without further ado, let's go!"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

After that, Xu Xuemo didn't stay in the room for too long, and left the room directly.

"Immediately report the news of the Rakshasa Mission's visit to the capital to the cabinet!"

"Obey the order, Master Shangshu, the little one will do it!"

……

The situation in the cabinet is still not much the same as before, everyone is dealing with their own notes, and from time to time they are chatting a few words.

Xu Jie, after putting aside the impeachment notes that had been dealt with in his hand, took the lead in stirring up the topic.

"By the way, do you know the rumor that spread widely in the palace a few days ago?"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Zhang Juzheng on the side thought for a while, and then joined the discussion.

"Is Elder Xu Ge referring to this rumor that Gonggong Lu was rejected by His Majesty?"

"Well, yes, that's it!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he glanced at Zhang Juzheng in surprise and responded in a deep voice.

The reason why Xu Jie was so surprised was because on weekdays, Zhang Juzheng rarely participated in small talk, and in general, he was the one who listened quietly on the sidelines.

After this, I saw Xu Jie clear his throat and continue to add.

"It is said that after His Majesty learned of this rumor, he was furious, and immediately ordered Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumor, and many people were involved!"

Yan Song, who was on the side, heard Xu Jie's words, and couldn't help but nod his head, and followed closely with Ying Hedao.

"Hmph, these fools, they don't want to think about it, Gonggong Lu has been with His Majesty for decades, how could he be rejected by His Majesty without warning?"

When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment, and then said with emotion.

"You know, Your Majesty is a person who misses the old!"

Yan Song's words are not only for others, but also for himself.

In Yan Song's opinion, His Majesty's attitude when dealing with this matter has been very clear: "That is, Lu Fang has been with me for decades, and with these unpopular means, he also wants to shake his status?" ”

Jiajing's attitude towards Lu Fang made Yan Song very pleased, after all, he had been with His Majesty for decades!

Just as Yan Song was still in a reverie in his mind, he only heard a rush of footsteps outside the cabinet.

After a while, I saw a Xu official walk in, and as soon as this Xu official walked into the cabinet, he looked in the direction where Yan Song and Xu Jie were without thinking, leaned down, and reported respectfully.

"Elder Yuge, the Ministry of Rites sent a message that the Rakshasa mission that entered the capital this time arrived in the capital not long ago, and this Rakshasa mission has been placed in the same hall!"

After listening to the report of the official, Yan Song nodded, and immediately commanded.

"Well, we know, you go down!"

"Yes, Yan Ge Lao!"

Seeing that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, the servant did not linger in the room for too long, but turned and left.

After the official left, he saw Yan Song looking at Xu Jie, and immediately spoke.

"This Rakshasa mission has finally arrived, in vain we have waited for so long, everything will come according to His Majesty's orders earlier!"

"Hmm."
