With the passage of time, the day when the emperor canonized the empress is getting closer and closer, and there is inevitably a tense atmosphere in the government and the opposition.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Chunfang feels a great responsibility, and recently, he has been busy practicing the relevant processes on the day of the canonization ceremony with Honglu Temple, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest.

After all, this is the Ming Dynasty's canonization of the queen after many years since the death of Empress Fang, and the significance of this is not insignificant.

Li Chunfang didn't even dare to imagine how he would gain a foothold in the court in the future if he made a mistake in this matter.

Therefore, he had to rehearse the specific process over and over again to ensure that on the day of the canonization ceremony, everything went smoothly and there were no accidents.

In the evening, the Ministry of Rites is on duty in the room.

After Li Chunfang took over the process arrangements for the canonization ceremony from Xu Xuemo's hands, he browsed with extra concentration.

The one that was sent to the Qianqing Palace before was beaten back by Jiajing because the process was too cumbersome, and now, this is the second copy.

After Li Chunfang finished reading all the contents above, he shook his head imperceptibly.

Then, I saw him raise his head, look in the direction where Xu Xuemo was, and then said, "No, the process is still too cumbersome, Your Majesty said earlier that the ceremony should be as simple as possible!"

"You must know that the concubine has just been giving birth, and her body is weak, so the concubine Niangniang's body may not be able to bear such a cumbersome process!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, he took the opportunity to pick up the brush dipped in ink on the side, and circled a few circles on the process arrangement on the day of the canonization ceremony.

"These that the official just circled, even if they are deleted, will not have much impact on the entire canonization ceremony!"

"Xiaguan, thank you Lord Shangshu for your suggestion!"

After Xu Xuemo responded, he gratefully took over the process arrangements for the canonization ceremony from Li Chunfang's hands.

After that, I only heard Li Chunfang's voice sound again: "By the way, how is the rehearsal of Zhonghe Shaole on the side of the Teaching Workshop Division, last time on the side of the Teaching Workshop Division, there was a big mistake!"

Xu Xuemo heard Li Chunfang's words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said cautiously: "Lord Shangshu, according to the news obtained by the lower officials, the sect department is currently in rehearsals, presumably this time, it will not be the same as last time!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, he replied imperceptibly, and then, he retracted his gaze and ordered coldly: "Well, tell them to hurry up, if it is like last time, this official will not be able to spare them!"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu, Xia Guan will definitely bring your words!"

When Xu Xuemo heard Li Chunfang's words, his expression immediately turned grim and he replied in a deep voice.

"Well, you go down and get busy first, and then take the changed process arrangements to the official, and the official will personally send it to His Majesty, this time, you can't be beaten back by Your Majesty!"

I saw Li Chunfang looking solemnly in the direction where Xu Xuemo was, and said with a commanding voice.

"Yes, Lord Shangshu, the lower officials will do their best!"

After Xu Xuemo finished speaking, after bowing to Li Chunfang, he walked outside the duty room without the slightest hesitation.

Just a few steps out, I saw Xu Xuemo turn back again, looked at Li Chunfang with a worried face, and admonished: "Lord Shangshu, the lower officials think, you better take a good rest!"

At this moment, from Xu Xuemo's point of view, Li Chunfang's face at this time was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person looked very haggard.

After listening to Xu Xuemo's admonition, Li Chunfang waved her hand indifferently, and then said, "It's okay, the canonization ceremony is the top priority, just wait for this time to pass!"

Seeing this, Xu Xuemo immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "My lord, let's take advantage of this gap to take a rest first!"

Hearing this, Li Chunfang nodded, and said in response: "Well, this official knows!"

After this, I saw Xu Xuemo retract his gaze and turn around and leave the room.

Li Chunfang looked at the back of Xu Xuemo leaving, and her face couldn't help flashing

A hint of apprehension.

In Li Chunfang's opinion, such a thing as being beaten back by the emperor is enough once or twice, and once there are too many times, it will inevitably affect his image in the emperor's mind.

Once a bad impression is left on the emperor, then this person's career can basically be said to end here.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were so many capable ministers, who didn't want to gain His Majesty's appreciation, so as to go further?

As the champion of Jiajing for 26 years, Li Chunfang's requirements for himself are even stricter, and he does not want to leave the emperor with the impression that he is not qualified for the job at hand.

After all, Li Chunfang's goal for himself is to realize the long-cherished wish of the world's scholars, smoothly enter the cabinet, and become a high-ranking elder!

Only when you reach that position can you participate in national affairs as a matter of course.

……

Xu Xuemo's efficiency was very fast, and after he went down, he immediately modified the place that Li Chunfang had circled with a brush before, and then sent it to Li Chunfang's hands again.

"Lord Shangshu, what do you think?"

In the room, Xu Xuemo saw that Li Chunfang had not responded for a long time, so he mustered up his courage and asked cautiously.

When Li Chunfang heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, looked in the direction where Xu Xuemo was, nodded, and responded, "Well, yes, this time, it shouldn't be beaten back by His Majesty!"

After Xu Xuemo heard Li Chunfang's evaluation of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the process arrangement sent to the Qianqing Palace not long ago was beaten back by the emperor, the Ministry of Rites, from top to bottom, has been highly nervous.

After all, with the Ministry of Officials and Zhuyu in front, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Seeing that it is coming to the end of the year, who doesn't want to behave well in front of the emperor!

You must know that because the officials have successfully completed the triennial plan of the imperial court, officials at all levels, from top to bottom, have received a lot of rewards.

It is precisely because of this that the Ministry of Rites is working hard to do a good job in the ceremony of canonizing the queen, and only when things are done well can it be possible to get a reward from His Majesty's hands.

Subsequently, I saw Li Chunfang put away the copy on the bookcase, which had been revised, and instructed Xu Xuemo: "Without further ado, this official will go to the Qianqing Palace and submit this process arrangement to Your Majesty!"

"Next, if there is anything on the side of the Ministry of Rites, you will handle it on behalf of the official!"

When Xu Xuemo heard this, he immediately lowered his head and replied without thinking, "Obey, Lord Shangshu!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, after bowing his head slightly, he walked straight out of the duty room and marched in the direction where the Qianqing Palace was located.

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be closed, and Jiajing at this time had already fallen into a meditative state.

With Jiajing's vomit and acceptance, the aura that escaped between heaven and earth seemed to resonate with him, and was absorbed into his body.

In this process, Jiajing's complexion became more and more ruddy, and the momentum of the whole person became unfathomable and unpredictable.

Soon, the aura that escaped between heaven and earth was absorbed by Jiajing.

After this, Jiajing withdrew from the meditative state and slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Jiajing only felt that the mana was surging in his dantian cyclone, and his limbs and bones seemed to be nourished, becoming more and more tenacious.

"Well, although the speed of mana growth is very slow, it is still growing, and one day, I will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and achieve the foundation building realm!"

At this moment, I saw Lu Fang walking quietly and entering the Qianqing Palace.

After entering the Qianqing Palace, I saw Lu Fang quickly come to Jiajing's side, lean down, and respectfully report: "Your Majesty, Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is asking to see you outside!"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, she slowly got up from the futon, and after a moment of silence, she turned to speak, "Well, I

Got it, let him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately left the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Li Chunfang, who was waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, was in an extremely worried mood, and from time to time he glanced at the part in his sleeve, the process arrangement of the canonization ceremony.

"This time, don't make any mistakes, or you'll get into trouble!"

Li Chunfang thought so, and a trace of worry flashed on her face.

At this moment, I saw Lu Fang come to Li Chunfang with silent steps, and said softly, "Lord Shangshu, you can go in, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, he hurriedly came back to his senses and saluted Lu Fang respectfully, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Lu!"

After this, I saw Li Chunfang take a deep breath, and after calming down her good mood, she immediately stepped on the stairs of the Qianqing Palace.

……

After Li Chunfang entered the Qianqing Palace, he knelt on the ground with a 'plop', turned his gaze to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Jiajing heard this, after glancing at Li Chunfang, he waved his hand and commanded, "Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's answer, Li Chunfang slowly got up from the ground.

Then, I saw Jiajing withdraw his gaze from Li Chunfang's body, and asked, "Aiqing came here today, is there anything you want to report to me?"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, he immediately took out the process of the canonization ceremony that had been prepared from his sleeve without thinking, and held it high above his head, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, here is the process arrangement that Wei Chen has revised according to the advice you gave before, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang, who was on the side, did not wait for Jiajing's instructions, and immediately stepped forward to take over the process of the canonization ceremony from Li Chunfang's hands and handed it over to Jiajing's hands.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

After Jiajing took over the process arrangement from Lu Fang's hands, he browsed it with great concentration.

Time passed like this, and Li Chunfang saw that Jiajing had not responded for a long time, and her heart rose to her throat.

"It shouldn't be this process arrangement, what's the problem?"

Just as Li Chunfang's thoughts were flying, I saw Jiajing put down the process arrangement in his hand, raised his head to look in the direction where Li Chunfang was, and said encouragingly: "Well, yes, this time the process arrangement is much simpler than the last time, when the time comes, just follow this!"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words, the whole person couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging on the ground safely.

Then, I saw Li Chunfang leaning down and said respectfully: "All this should be attributed to Your Majesty, if it weren't for the advice given by Your Majesty, Weichen wouldn't be able to ...... so smoothly."

Before Li Chunfang's words were finished, Jiajing waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, I also know that recently, your Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple have been very busy for the upcoming canonization ceremony!"

"I see all of this, the canonization ceremony is important, but Aiqing also has to pay more attention to her body, and learn to combine work and rest!"

Jiajing paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued, "I heard that you haven't had a good rest for several days and nights for the next canonization ceremony?"

When Li Chunfang heard Jiajing's words of concern, she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart, and then, she lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, Weichen just wants to ...... as soon as possible."

Jiajing took in the expression on Li Chunfang's face, waved his hand, and said categorically: "Okay, there is no need to say any more, right now, there is still a period of time before the canonization ceremony, so there is no need to be so nervous!"

"Only if you raise it

Spirit, in order to get twice the result with half the effort, besides, at the canonization ceremony at that time, you will still need you, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!"

Seeing that Jiajing had already said this, Li Chunfang had no choice but to nod and say, "Thank you Your Majesty for reminding me, Weichen understands!"

Seeing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Li Chunfang's body, gently rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, and issued an eviction order: "Let's go down first and rest well!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he responded in a deep voice: "Obey the order, Your Majesty, Weichen will retire!"

After that, I saw Li Chunfang bow to Jiajing sitting on the dragon chair, and then turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.

After Li Chunfang left the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing looked at the process arrangement of the canonization ceremony on the bookcase, then turned to look at Lu Fang, and commanded, "Lu Fang, go to Ganlu Palace with me!"

When Lu Fang, who was waiting beside Jiajing, heard this, his face couldn't help but flash a hint of excitement, and he immediately leaned down and replied respectfully, "Obey, Your Majesty!"

Subsequently, I saw Jiajing put away the process arrangements for the canonization ceremony on the bookcase, paced leisurely, and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

And Lu Fang, as usual, followed Jiajing's side step by step.

Behind the two of them, they were followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids who were in charge of serving, and the group marched in the direction of the Ganlu Palace.

……

Forbidden City, Manna Palace.

As soon as Jiajing and his entourage arrived at Ganlu Palace, those eunuchs and palace maids who were busy saw the arrival of the holy car, they put down their work one after another, and knelt on the ground in fear.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

When Jiajing heard this, he replied imperceptibly, he didn't look at these eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground, but took Lu Fang and walked straight into the Manna Palace.

Soon, the news of the emperor's visit to Ganlu Palace reached the ears of the imperial concubine Shen, who was following her personal maid and walking around the garden at this moment.

After learning the news, Shen's face was full of excitement, and he didn't care about anything else, so he decided to end his walk and go to greet Jiajing in person.

Later, under the persuasion of the personal maidservant, the Shen family gave up this idea and decided to complete the last lap.

When Shen finished the last lap and returned to the room, he found that at this moment, Jiajing was holding Zhu Zaiyuan, who was still in infancy, and teasing him at will.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!"

When Shen's words fell, I saw Jiajing stop teasing Zhu Zaiyuan, turn around, and look in the direction where Shen was.

At this time, because Shen had just walked around the garden several times, he couldn't help but ooze a little fine sweat on his forehead, and the whole person was also a little panting.

Seeing this, Jiajing immediately stepped forward, handed the handkerchief in his hand to Shen's hand, and said slowly, "Let's rest for a while!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shen took the handkerchief from Jiajing's hand with some embarrassment and wiped the fine sweat off his forehead.

Seeing this, the personal maid on the side immediately walked away quietly, and not only that, but also closed the door of the room with her.

After sitting down and resting for a while, I saw Shen Shi step forward, pick up the teapot on the table, and pour a cup of hot tea for himself and Jiajing.

After doing this, I saw Shen Shi carefully take Zhu Zaiyuan from Jiajing's arms, and his face was full of disgust: "Your Majesty, let's let Yuan'er sleep well, don't tease him!"

After that, I saw Shen put Zhu Zaiyuan back on the bed, then leaned on Jiajing's shoulder, and asked, "Your Majesty, there have been so many things in the court and China recently, why do you have time to come here for the concubine?"

Jiajing naturally heard the sour meaning in Shen's words, and saw him gently pinch Shen's face with his hand, and said with a straight face: "No matter how busy the affairs of the court are, I have to take time to see my concubine and my son!"

When Shen heard this, his face was full of excitement, and he saw that it pecked at Jiajing's face like a dragonfly.

follow

Later, I saw Shen raise his head, look at Jiajing with a curious expression, blinked, and asked: "By the way, Your Majesty, the concubine listened to those people in the palace, and recently the imperial court found a big corrupt official, and found fifteen million taels of silver from his home, is this true?"

Jiajing took in the expression on Shen's face, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded, and said in response, "Of course it's true, but it took the imperial court two whole days and countless carriages to transport those silver back to the treasury!"

"One of those carriages is that big!"

When Jiajing said this, he also took the trouble to compare the size of the carriage with his hand.

Perhaps because Jiajing's movements were too funny, Shen was amused to giggle.

Jiajing naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, so he scratched Shen's squeaky nest with his hand.

It wasn't until the Shen family couldn't support it and begged Jiajing for mercy that Jiajing gave up.

After that, I saw Shen snuggled in Jiajing's arms, and the two of them began to chat casually with you and me.

The topics range from stars in the sky to hearsay parenting tips, in short, the topics are strange and all-encompassing.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, Jiajing took out the process arrangement of the canonization ceremony.

After seeing the copy taken out by Jiajing, the process of the canonization ceremony was arranged, Shen Shi's face was full of curiosity, he raised his head to look at Jiajing, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Hearing this, Jiajing raised his eyebrows and responded unhurriedly: "This has been simplified, the process arrangement on the day of the canonization ceremony, the previous process was too cumbersome, and I beat it back!"

"Next, you can familiarize yourself with this!"

Although Jiajing didn't say it explicitly, Shen had already felt the concern in his words, and His Majesty was clearly thinking about her body this time.

After this, I saw that Shen's face couldn't help but bring a touch of blush, and his face was shy, and he muttered, "Well, the concubine understands!"

After the two of them worked on their ears and temples for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, Jiajing immediately said goodbye and left in order not to affect Shen's rest.

……

As soon as Jiajing walked out of the room, Lu Fang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, greeted him, leaned down, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing heard this, he glanced at Lu Fang, nodded, and commanded, "Well, let's go, Lu Fang, go back with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After answering, Lu Fang followed Jiajing's steps, along the paved stone road, and marched in the direction where the Qianqing Palace was located.

The sky had already darkened, a bright moon hung high in the sky, lanterns were lit everywhere in due time, emitting orange light, and a group of forbidden troops in charge of patrolling passed by from time to time in the distance.

Jiajing and his party walked in the Forbidden City, paved with neat stone slabs.

At this moment, I saw Jiajing retract his gaze, turned around, looked at Lu Fang on the side, and asked, "By the way, Lu Fang, nothing has happened in the DPRK recently, right?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, after recalling it for a long time, he cautiously said in response: "Your Majesty, except for the incident with Yan Maoqing, nothing major has happened in the court recently!"

After that, I saw Lu Fang's face look embarrassed, looking in the direction where Jiajing was, and after hesitating for a long time, he said slowly: "By the way, Your Majesty, the slave and maid accidentally learned a rumor, I don't know whether to say it or not!"

Hearing this, Jiajing raised his eyebrows after glancing at Lu Fang, and then said, "Lu Fang, you don't have to go around the bend with me, just say anything you want!"

When Lu Fang heard this, the whole person suddenly gained confidence, and after repeatedly considering the language, he spoke: "Your Majesty, there are rumors that someone found Xiao Ge Lao and wanted him to help, and sent a sum of silver!"

"After Elder Yan learned of this, he reprimanded Elder Elder Elder and ordered Elder to return the silver intact!"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, his face was full of inexplicable expressions, and he smiled and quipped, "Oh, there are still ones

In this matter, it seems that this Yan Ge Lao is quite principled!"
