I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 283 Cabinet Deliberations
"Since the two elders agree that the court will open more ports, there is no need to discuss this third matter!"

"Therefore, I propose to replace the third thing with something else."

Seeing this, Jiajing had a look of distress on his face, and immediately turned his gaze to the crowd, and said slowly.

"Also ask Your Majesty to order!"

Seeing this, everyone immediately said in unison.

After pondering for a moment, Jiajing gave his answer.

"Since the imperial court wants to open more ports, let's discuss how to implement the previous plan!"

"Remember what I said earlier, starting with the Kyushu region of Japan, bring the local silver mines under my control!"

Hearing the emperor's words, the expressions on the faces of all the people present suddenly became serious. Not only His Majesty attached great importance to this matter, but everyone present also attached great importance to it.

There is no other reason, as long as the silver mines in Japan are taken down, most of the current problems of the Ming Dynasty will be solved!

And everyone can benefit from it.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, everyone got up from their seats and saluted Jiajing respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and immediately waved his hands to signal everyone to sit down.

Immediately, Jiajing rang the jade pan beside him, which also meant that the cabinet meeting would officially begin!
"Well, I am very pleased to see you all like this, sit down, sit down!"

"Let's start with the flag that I ordered earlier that can represent my Ming Dynasty."

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Yan Song and Xu Jie respectively, expressing his intentions.

Seeing this, Xu Jie immediately got up from his seat, and then said respectfully to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, since you ordered this matter earlier, I have been sleeping all day long, and I finally got something small."

"Here is the flag designed by Weichen and others!"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Gao Gong, who had been waiting for a long time, took out a folded flag from his arms and slowly opened it.

The overall color of the flag is blue, with the sun and the moon embroidered on the top, and in the center, there is a giant dragon with claws and claws, supplemented by some plants and trees as decorations, which looks quite gorgeous.

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang, and the latter also quickly signaled, stepped in front of Gao Gong, took the flag solemnly, and came in front of Jiajing.

"Well, it's not bad, it just looks too fancy."

After Jiajing looked at the flag from beginning to end, he immediately commented.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the plants and trees around here are good medicines that can cure diseases and save lives."

Seeing this, Xu Jie at the side immediately added.

"Well, not bad, not bad, where is Mr. Yan Ge?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he immediately turned his gaze to Yan Song who was aside, and asked.

"My Majesty, here is the flag designed by Yan Shifan!"

When Yan Song heard what Jiajing said, he immediately got up from his seat tremblingly and reported to Jiajinghui.

And Yan Shifan on the side also took out the flag from his arms at the right time and showed it to everyone present.

"This... this is."

When Xu Jie saw the flag displayed by Yan Shifan, he couldn't help hesitating.

Yan Shifan met everyone's gaze and explained slowly.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the flag must have the sun and the moon."

"So I had a whim, since this flag represents my Ming Dynasty, it should include all of my Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen provinces!"

"Thus, these thirteen stars represent the thirteen provinces of my Ming Dynasty!"

After listening to Yan Shifan's detailed narration, all the people present were shocked by his exquisite ideas.

Even Xu Jie was no exception, and he murmured to himself: "The sun, the moon, and the stars are wonderful!"

After Yan Shifan's introduction, Lu Fang immediately brought the flag in front of Jiajing and displayed it.

The flag designed by Yan Shifan is the same color as the flag designed by Xu Jie and the others, it is blue, but the style is much simpler, except for the necessary sun and moon, it is the thirteen stars.

And all of this is more in line with Jiajing's vision for the flag.

"Well, good, good!"

"I think that the dragon should be added to the banner designed by Yan Shifan."

After Jiajing finished speaking, he asked Lu Fang to fetch a pen and paper, and drew a rough style drawing, and asked Lu Fang to hand it over to Yan Shifan.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after you come down, I will make improvements!"

Yan Shifan looked at the style map drawn by the emperor himself, with an unconcealable excitement on his face, and immediately said in a deep voice.

Seeing that the first matter had come to an end, everyone present could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, after resting for half an hour, Lu Fang stood up and said loudly.

"There are three main things to discuss today!"

"The first matter has been discussed, and it is time to discuss the second matter, which is the specific matters of the imperial examination."

Jiajing heard what Lu Fang said, and immediately turned his eyes to Yan Shifan who was aside, and asked like this.

"If I remember correctly, the imperial examination will be officially held in seven days, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are already many students from all over the country coming to the capital one after another to participate in the imperial examination held by the imperial court!"

When Yan Shifan saw the emperor asking about this matter, he immediately said respectfully.

"It seems that the children's test is also held at this time, right?"

"As the chief examiner of this imperial examination, you must pay attention to fairness and justice!"

"Anything that violates the examination regulations must absolutely not happen. If it affects the imperial examination, I will not spare you!"

"Do you understand what I said?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and reminded him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"

After Yan Shifan listened to what Jiajing told him, the expression of respect on his face remained unchanged, but he had already realized it in his heart.

"Your Majesty suddenly mentioned Tong Shi before, it was definitely not by chance!"

"This is clearly implying to me that I cannot give too much preferential treatment to the clan. Everything must be carried out within the framework stipulated by the court, especially not to interfere with the normal progress of the imperial examination."

"If something goes wrong during this process, as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, I will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility!"

Yan Shifan quickly figured everything out, and saw him kneeling on the ground respectfully, begging Jiajing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have summed up the experience and lessons of the last imperial examination. I believe that the current imperial examination is full of impetuous people and cheating is increasing!"

"Therefore, I want His Majesty to send more people to patrol the examination room."

"Anyone who is entrained, or who is a test taker, will be dealt with strictly and severely!"

At this moment, Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also nodded after listening to Yan Shifan's request, saying so.

"Well, I'm sure!"

"Yan Shifan, you have to settle this matter for me, do you understand?"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan's face flashed with joy, and then he assured Jiajing.

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."

"If there is any mistake in this process, I am willing to come and see you!"

I saw Jiajing caressing the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, with a calm expression, he immediately responded.

"Ah."

As a former examiner of the imperial examination, Xu Jie couldn't see the meaning behind this.

"It seems that His Majesty wants to set an example for the clan!"

The expression on Xu Jie's face remained unchanged, and he said with emotion.
