Forbidden City, Hall of Nourishing Heart.
In the early morning, Jiajing put on his robes under the service of his personal eunuch.
At this moment, Lu Fang was seen entering the Nourishing Heart Hall with silent steps.
As soon as he entered the Yangxin Hall, he suddenly knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"This slave has met Your Majesty!"
When Jiajing heard this, he quickly looked away and said slowly.
"Lu Fang, do you have anything to report to me this early in the morning?"
When Lu Fang heard this, she nodded slightly and then responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you!"
Seeing this situation, Jiajing waved his hand, screened away all the eunuchs on the side, and said calmly.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After receiving Jiajing's permission, Lu Fang hurriedly stood up from the ground, then came to Jiajing's side and lowered her voice.
"Your Majesty, in recent days, Xu Jie has been secretly investigating the renovation of the treasure ship!"
Jiajing disagreed with Lu Fang's words, and immediately came to sit on the dragon chair and said slowly.
"What's so strange about this? It would be strange if Xu Jie didn't secretly investigate this matter!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Fang immediately looked stern and continued to add.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that when the time comes..."
Before Lu Fang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiajing.
"Don't worry, they can't fight. I warned them last time!"
When Jiajing said this, he paused and then added.
"If they still dare to do whatever they want, then don't blame me for being rude!"
When Jiajing said this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang and asked.
"By the way, how is Yan Song's current physical condition?"
When Lu Fang saw Jiajing asking about this, she gave her answer after recalling it in her mind for a moment.
"Your Majesty, after this period of recuperation, Mr. Yan Ge's physical condition is getting better day by day!"
"I feel that Mr. Yan Ge will send a memorial to Your Majesty in the near future to express his determination to return to the cabinet."
After Jiajing heard this, he immediately turned his attention to the desk, and ordered the memorials that had been processed rather casually.
"In that case, let's leave him alone for a few days before we talk. I still have things to tell him to do next!"
Seeing this situation, Lu Fang could only respond respectfully.
"As you command, Your Majesty, I know what to do!"
"Um."
When Jiajing heard this, he didn't express much, he just responded.
…
Capital City, Yan Mansion.
At this moment, Yan Song was sitting at the desk, writing the memorial he was about to submit to Jiajing without any distractions.
The content of the memorial is very simple. It is nothing more than thanking the emperor for his kindness, explaining his physical condition, and then showing the emperor that he is loyal to the country and has a down-to-earth work attitude. At the end, he expresses his desire to return to work as soon as possible. Willingness to share your worries.
After Yan Song finished writing the contents of the memorial, he checked it carefully. After confirming that there were no errors, he immediately called the housekeeper and gave instructions.
"Go, submit this memorial to the cabinet according to the procedure!"
"Yes, Mr. Yan Ge!"
After the housekeeper left, Yan Song slowly stood up, walked through the corridor, and came to the yard alone, admiring the surrounding scenery, filled with anticipation.
During the period of recuperation, Yan Song also thought about a lot of things.
He felt that the most important thing at the moment was not to fight Qingliu to the death, but to get closer to the imperial concubine Shen and the child in her belly in advance.
At present, both King Yu and King Jing have lost power. If nothing happens, they will no longer have the possibility of becoming crown princes.
And as the chief minister of the cabinet, he has no chance to change his family!
No, that's not right. As long as he shows a little bit of this intention, what awaits him next is the emperor's ruthless butcher knife.
Therefore, Yan Song placed all his bets on his son, Yan Shifan.
Yan Song's original idea was to let Yan Shifan take the initiative to move closer to the child in the belly of the imperial concubine Shen before it was fully fledged, thereby occupying an important position for the Yan family.
After all, there are only a few positions in the center of power. If you occupy one, you will lose one.
What made Yan Song even more disappointed was that Yan Shifan didn't understand what he meant at all, and still went his own way, hanging out among the concubines he married all day long.
Not only that, Yan Shifan acted quite recklessly. Every time he got into trouble, he would always wipe his ass!
Thinking of this, Yan Song suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. As long as Yan Song was a few years younger, he would think about working hard to have another child.
But now, I am really powerless!
In this way, Yan Song fell into deep melancholy.
…
Forbidden City, Cabinet.
At this moment, everyone was sitting in their respective seats, reviewing the corresponding memorials, but the position of the chief minister of the cabinet had always been vacant.
I saw Xu Jie put aside the completed memorial in his hand, and immediately asked Yan Shifan.
"How is Mr. Yan Ge's current situation? Is he feeling better?"
When Yan Shifan heard this, his face was full of respect and he responded.
"Thank you Mr. Xu Ge for your concern. My father's physical condition is much better and he should be able to return to the cabinet soon."
When Xu Jie heard this, he nodded, with a warm smile on his face, and said.
"That's fine. Mr. Yan Ge should come back as soon as possible, so that the burden on us can be lighter!"
When Yan Shifan heard this, the expression on his face did not change, and he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
"His Majesty's earlier evaluation of Xu Jie was indeed correct, little man Xu Jie!"
"I see in your heart that you wish my father wouldn't come back!"
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, and a subordinate official entered the cabinet with a memorial.
As soon as he entered the cabinet, he lowered his head and saluted respectfully to everyone.
"Sir, here is the memorial submitted by Mr. Yan Ge!"
When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately became interested. He stood up from his seat, came to the subordinate official, took the memorial, and immediately gave instructions.
"Well, just hang on!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu Ge!"
The subordinate officials did not dare to stay at all after hearing this, and immediately left the cabinet.
Xu Jie looked at the memorial in his hand and squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, I saw a smile on his face. After looking around, he spoke.
"This is a memorial submitted to His Majesty by Mr. Yan Ge. We should follow the usual practice and submit it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies first!"
"Well, since it is the memorial submitted by Mr. Yan Ge himself, let's follow the procedure."
As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, Gao Gong on the side responded immediately, while Zhang Juzheng didn't make any expression and just went to review the memorial in his hand.
When Yan Shifan saw this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he thought to himself.
"When this memorial is submitted, my father should be able to return to the position of chief minister of the cabinet soon!"
After a while, Yan Song's memorial was sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies along with the memorials that had been processed.
In the ceremonial prison, at this moment, Feng Baozheng, as usual, was respectfully waiting in front of Eunuch Shi, watching him sort through the memorials submitted from the cabinet.
I saw Eunuch Shi put aside the approved memorial in his hand, turned his eyes to Feng Bao, and spoke seriously.
"Feng Bao, you have to remember that the matter of being criticized is not a big deal or a small matter."
"What should be approved and what shouldn't be approved? It's up to you to decide the middle ground!"
"No one can teach you this. You can only rely on your own understanding to slowly understand it."
After listening to Eunuch Shi's reminder, Feng Bao couldn't help but have a look of great benefit on his face. Then, Feng Bao looked respectful and bowed slightly to Eunuch Shi.
"Thank you Eunuch Shi for your teachings. I, Feng Bao, will never forget your kindness in my whole life!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Shi's face was filled with relief. Immediately, he gently stroked Feng Bao's head with his skinny palm and said slowly.
"Then it's up to you to handle the following memorials."
"I'm watching from the sidelines. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly!"
