Chapter 290
The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting by the desk, watching the plans that had been sorted out by the cabinet.

"Well, yes, if this plan is implemented, the set goal should be achieved soon."

"At that time, after winning the silver mines in the Kyushu region, we will use the Kyushu region as a springboard to gradually plot the whole of Japan."

"Hmph, Shi Jian Silver Mine, I will definitely take you down."

"With enough silver as a support, I can carry out currency reform!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup at the side and took a sip.

After a while, Lu Fang walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with silent steps.

As soon as Lu Fang entered it, she knelt down and reported to Jiajing.

"Report to Your Majesty, what you have ordered your slaves to do has been done!"

"Whether it's King Yu's people or King Jing's people, they have all been disposed of by slaves."

Jiajing was very satisfied with Lu Fang's report, nodded and encouraged.

"Well, Lu Fang, you did a good job in this matter."

"I want to reward you well!"

But at this moment, Lu Fang's face did not show the slightest bit of joy, but was full of worry.

I saw that he mustered up his courage and asked Jiajing for advice.

"Your Majesty, slaves don't need any rewards. It is already a great honor to serve His Majesty. How dare you ask for more rewards?"

After listening to Lu Fang's words, Jiajing was stunned, and then laughed loudly.

"Lu Fang, Lu Fang, you are still so good at pleasing me."

"Speaking of which, I still have to be rewarded. Let me think about it. What should I reward you for?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, the excitement flashed across his face.

Compared with the emperor's reward, Lu Fang was more worried about possible revenge from King Yu and King Jing.

"How about this, I will reward you with five thousand bolts of silk!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang and ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

When Lu Fang heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face at the right time, and then, he bowed respectfully in the direction of the emperor.

"Well, get up!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Lu Fang to get up from the ground.

"Your Majesty, I have another merciless request."

Lu Fang didn't get up immediately, but said tremblingly.

"Oh, tell me."

Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help being interested, raised his eyebrows, and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, most of the people involved in this operation belong to Dongchang!"

"The servant is afraid that when the time comes, King Yu and King Jing will..."

When Lu Fang said this, she didn't dare to continue.

After Jiajing learned of Lu Fang's worries, he smiled, and then explained to her.

"This matter was ordered by me, and you just followed my will."

"If King Yu and King Jing have any objections to this, let them come to me and explain it clearly!"

"Still, Lu Fang, don't you trust me?"

When Jiajing said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his tone.

Hearing this, Lu Fang's face suddenly showed panic, and she knocked her head on the ground with a 'bang bang' sound, crying.

"Your Majesty, the servant is wronged, the servant definitely has no such intention!"

"My servant's loyalty to you can be learned from heaven and earth!"

Afterwards, Jiajing slowly got up from the dragon chair, came to Lu Fang, bent down, and helped Lu Fang up from the ground.

"Get up, why would I doubt your loyalty?"

"Among the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, there are not many people who can be trusted by me, and Lu Fang, you are just one of them!"

Hearing the emperor's words, a deep sense of guilt emerged in Lu Fang's heart, and she said to herself inwardly.

"Lu Fang, Lu Fang, His Majesty trusts you so much, how dare you doubt His Majesty."

"Damn you!"

Lu Fang quickly suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in her heart, only to see that her eyes were slightly red, and she said word by word.

"Your Majesty, your kindness cannot be repaid by slaves."

"Therefore, even if I want to smash my body to pieces for you, I will not hesitate!"

Jiajing had a panoramic view of the expression on Lu Fang's face, and then said slowly.

"Don't break your body into pieces at every turn. If you want to die, I want you to live, and you will live well for me, understand?"

"I want you to see how this great Ming has been able to prosper again under my hands!"

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Lu Fang was completely infected by Jiajing's tone, and her mood was no longer as depressed as before.

"Your Majesty is right. I want to live a good life! I want to see how this Ming Dynasty prospers under His Majesty's hands."

At this moment, only the sound of footsteps came from outside, and a hurried eunuch entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he knelt down on the ground and reported to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, the people sent by Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang Province and Governor of Zhejiang Province, are waiting outside the palace at this moment!"

"Well, let him in."

After listening to the report from the visitor, Jiajing waved his hand quite casually, and ordered so.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After hearing Jiajing's order, the visitor quickly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Afterwards, Jiajing sat back on the dragon chair, and Lu Fang, as usual, waited beside Jiajing like a statue.

Soon, under the guidance of the guiding eunuch, the visitors entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

I saw him knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, here is a letter personally delivered to His Majesty by Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang Province and Governor of Zhejiang Province!"

After the visitor finished speaking, he raised the letter in his hand above his head.

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang, and the latter also quickly signaled, and walked quickly to the person who came, and took the letter.

After Jiajing took the letter from Lu Fang, he ordered so.

"Well, I have received the letter, you go down and rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the visitor saw that his mission for this trip had been completed, he immediately relaxed and saluted Jiajing respectfully.

Soon, under the guidance of the eunuch, the visitor left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and went to a special room to rest.

Jiajing was not in a hurry to open the letter, but turned to Lu Fang aside, saying so.

"Lu Fang, you might as well guess what is in the letter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant is dull and dare not speculate!"

Hearing this, Lu Fang responded with a more respectful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Jiajing had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and immediately opened the envelope, and carefully browsed the contents on it, only to see that it said.

"Report to Your Majesty, my humble minister Hu Zongxian, I have something important to report!"

"For a long time, the strategy formulated by the imperial court has always been to start from the south and then to the north. That is to say, after the Japanese plague in the south is eliminated first, the Tatars in the north will be gradually dealt with."

"Right now, most of the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast have been wiped out by my ministers, and they never dare to show their heads again!"

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty, the Lord will gradually shift the strategic focus of our Ming Dynasty from the southeast to the north, and completely wipe out the Tatars who have repeatedly invaded the borders of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Not only can the border of our Ming Dynasty be restored to stability, but after the Tatars are wiped out, they can also drive straight in and send the people of the Ming Dynasty to reclamation, gradually encroach on the grassland and turn it into our Daming's livestock land, thus obtaining a large amount of land. Army horse."

"Thus……"

After Jiajing read the contents of the letter word by word, he was silent for a long time, and then said with emotion.

"What is the country of public loyalty, this is called the country of public loyalty!"
