After Jiajing finished speaking, he looked around and continued.
"I feel that this plan, after everyone's improvement, is now feasible."
"After the meeting, your cabinet will write a detailed report on this plan and submit it to me!"
Seeing that the emperor agreed to the plan, Zhang Juzheng's face was full of excitement and he immediately agreed.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Jiajing immediately withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then continued.
"In addition, tell Hu Zongxian that we can no longer kill the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast as we did in the past once we catch them!"
"But we need to identify those who are willing to be loyal to my Ming Dynasty. As for those who are disobedient, just kill them directly."
"I will use the lives of these Japanese pirates to clear all obstacles along the way for my Ming Dynasty!"
When Jiajing said this, his eyes swept over Yan Song's body, and the latter naturally noticed the emperor's gaze, and the expression on his face became more respectful.
"Zhang Juzheng, how is the current progress of the construction work of our Daming Navy?"
Jiajing turned his eyes to Zhang Juzheng, raised his eyebrows, and asked.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the navy is going well. By the end of this year at the latest, our Ming Dynasty will be able to have two more navy!"
"Besides, right now, the new cannons from the Ordnance Department are almost completed and will be put into use soon!"
"Both the cannon's range and power have been significantly improved."
"In addition, the two newly built warships of the navy, without exception, are equipped with new ramming angles."
After listening to Zhang Juzheng's report, Jiajing felt much better and then said slowly.
"Well, that's right. By the end of this year, our Ming Dynasty will have three naval forces. If converted, there will be nearly two hundred warships of various types!"
"In this case, it should be barely enough."
Gao Gong on the side heard the emperor's words and couldn't help but secretly complained.
"Your Majesty, this is not only enough, it is already completely invincible around the Ming Dynasty!"
As if he suddenly remembered, Jiajing turned his gaze to Gao Gong and then gave instructions.
"As for the Maritime Trade Department, we should speed up the progress a little!"
"If those merchants are in need, my Ming navy can also provide corresponding escort services. As for how to charge, your Maritime Trade Department will come up with a specific charter."
After listening to the emperor's instructions, Gao Gong immediately responded respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely accomplish this matter as soon as possible!"
"Well, in that case, let's end today's cabinet meeting here."
After Jiajing finished speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair and said slowly.
And Lu Fang, who had been standing beside Jiajing, followed the emperor's steps step by step.
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, everyone bowed respectfully to the emperor's leaving figure.
After Jiajing came out of the cabinet, he ordered Lu Fang beside him.
"Lu Fang, come with me to Ganlu Palace. I have to go and see how the Shen family is doing."
"Slave, you obey!"
Lu Fang immediately responded after hearing the emperor's order.
Afterwards, Jiajing got on the dragon chariot and headed towards the direction of Ganlu Palace.
…
Soon, the dragon chariot Jiajing was riding arrived at the Manna Palace, and when the busy eunuchs and maids saw this, they all stopped what they were doing, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said in unison.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Then Jiajing, with the help of Lu Fang, got off the dragon chariot and went straight into the Manna Palace.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here!"
While the imperial concubine Shen was still adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror, she learned the news from her personal maid.
"What, Your Majesty is here!"
"Please help me see if there is anything wrong."
When the imperial concubine Shen heard this, she quickly urged the maid on the side to take better care of herself.
"My dear, don't worry, you look pretty just the way you are now!"
After hearing the comfort from the personal maid, Imperial Concubine Shen felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, there was a "squeak" sound, the door of the room was pushed open, and Jiajing walked in.
Upon seeing this, the previous personal maid bowed respectfully to Jiajing and left the room quietly, closing the door behind her.
In the room, only Jiajing and Shen were left, looking at each other.
"I just finished the cabinet meeting and came to see you."
In the end, it was Jiajing who spoke first and broke the silence.
Then, there was just a "poof" sound, and it turned out that Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing.
"Is it that funny?"
Jiajing looked at the smile on Shen's face and was a little confused.
"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered a very interesting thing!"
Shen just covered her mouth and snickered, with no intention of explaining.
"Oh, if you encounter something interesting, you might as well tell me about it."
When Jiajing heard what Shen said, he couldn't help but become interested. He saw him sitting next to Shen and asked.
Shen quickly turned her gaze to Jiajing and carefully looked at the man she loved deeply, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Your Majesty was like this last time. He was clearly here to see my concubine, but..."
"Ahem, I did come here specifically to see you."
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment appeared on Jiajing's face, and then he took Shen into his arms and smelled the fragrance of her body.
"His Majesty!"
Noticing the movements of Jiajing's hands, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but say in a coquettish tone.
"Let me see how the baby in your belly is doing?"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he gently leaned his head on Shen's belly and listened carefully to what was going on.
"Hey, why is there no movement at all?"
Jiajing's face was full of doubts, and then he asked Shen.
"Your Majesty, you are serious. The child in my concubine's belly is only a few months old!"
When Shen saw this, her face was full of helplessness. After giving Jiajing a blank look, she then explained.
"Have you seen the imperial doctor?"
Jiajing quickly changed the subject and then asked.
"Yes, the imperial doctor said that the current situation is very good, and he has also prescribed several prescriptions for miscarriage!"
Shen moved his eyes away from Jiajing and said softly.
"Have you ever had anyone try these medicines?"
When Jiajing heard what Shen said, he suddenly became nervous and asked with a look of concern on his face.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, these Yaochen concubines have been tried by someone, and there are no problems!"
Seeing the concern on Jiajing's face, Shen couldn't help but feel a warmth flowing through her heart. She gently leaned her head on Jiajing's shoulder and responded like this.
"Well, this way, I feel relieved."
"I don't want anything to happen to you or the child in your belly!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he gently stroked Shen's long, silky hair.
Time passed by slowly, and neither of them spoke. They just leaned together and enjoyed the rare tranquility.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen moved his body away from Jiajing's body, with a look of hesitation on his face.
The expression on Shen's face naturally could not escape Jiajing's keen perception.
Then, Jiajing was seen holding Shen's hands tightly and asking softly.
"What's wrong? Do you have anything to say to me?"
"In recent days, King Yu and King Jing often send people to give gifts to their concubines."
The author has never had any experience in love, so it was really difficult to write this chapter! T﹏T
