Chapter 354 The Cabinet Deliberation Arriving as Scheduled

Early in the morning, Yan Mansion.

At this moment, Yan Song is sitting by the desk, browsing the corresponding books, and getting ready for the upcoming cabinet discussion.

While Yan Song was thinking hard, he heard a knock on the door.

Yan Song's thoughts were interrupted, but he had no choice but to put down the book in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

"Come in!"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Yan Shifan pushed the door open and entered with a respectful expression on his face.

"Father!"

"Ah."

Seeing this situation, Yan Song just nodded, turned his eyes away from Yan Shifan, and responded in a subtle way.

Afterwards, Yan Shifan came to Yan Song and said in a low voice.

"Father, the things you told me earlier have been done, and my son has already dealt with all those guys!"

Hearing this, Yan Song picked up the books on the table again, and asked again.

"Is it clean from the beginning to the end? Is there any handle left?"

When Yan Shifan heard the words, he immediately patted his chest and assured Yan Song.

"Father, don't worry, the whole process did not leave a single trace."

After getting Yan Shifan's guarantee, Yan Song was relieved, and then told him.

"Be careful in everything, you can't go wrong!"

After exhorting Yan Shifan, Yan Song immediately issued an order to expel the guests.

"Okay, it's time for the cabinet to discuss matters. I still have things to deal with, so you go out first."

"Yes, Father!"

When Yan Shifan heard the words, he immediately saluted Yan Song respectfully.

Just as Yan Shifan was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned around and reported to Yan Song.

"By the way, father, my son has already investigated the report you submitted to His Majesty earlier."

"On that day, the eunuch who was in charge of approving the red flags was Feng Bao, the admiral of the East Factory!"

Yan Song couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said to himself silently: "Feng Bao..."

Afterwards, Yan Song withdrew his thoughts and told Yan Songfan: "Well, I know about this matter, you go down first!"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan didn't stay any longer, and immediately left Yan Song's room, and by the way, closed the door behind him.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this time, Jiajing was sitting on the dragon chair, waiting for Lu Fang's arrival. A moment later, Lu Fang entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation with silent steps.

As soon as she entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lu Fang knelt down on the ground and saluted Jiajing respectfully.

"The servant has seen His Majesty!"

"Well, get up!"

Seeing Lu Fang coming, Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows, and immediately gave orders.

After Lu Fang got up from the ground, Jiajing asked Lu Fang: "How is the situation at Shen's side? Is everything all right?"

When Lu Fang heard this, she couldn't hide a smile on her face, and immediately responded.

"Your Majesty, everything is well with the imperial concubine, and she even asked her servant to bring you a message!"

When Jiajing heard this, his face was full of curiosity, and he immediately asked.

"Oh, what did she ask you to bring me?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang showed no hesitation on her face, and immediately repeated the words that Mrs. Shen asked her to bring.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine said she missed you, and asked when can you go to Ganlu Palace for a while?"

After listening to what Lu Fang said, Jiajing couldn't help laughing, and said slowly.

"Oh, I still owe her!"

"I plan to make her a queen after the child in Shen's womb is born, Lu Fang, what do you think?"

When Lu Fang heard this, her face was full of horror, her brain shut down instantly, and she didn't react for a while, until Jiajing's call brought her back to reality.

"Lu Fang, what are you doing there, I'm asking you something!"

It was only after Lu Fang came back to his senses suddenly and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart that he responded respectfully.

"This matter is entirely up to His Majesty!"

When Jiajing heard this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and after carefully looking up and down, he opened his mouth and said.

"Let's go, it's time for the cabinet to discuss matters, come with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, she immediately followed Jiajing's pace and walked towards the cabinet.

On the way to the cabinet, Lu Fang's mind was still echoing what Jiajing said earlier.

"I plan to make her a queen after the child in Shen's womb is born!"

Thinking of this, Lu Fang couldn't help clenching her fists and said to herself.

"Your Majesty, you must let the child in your womb be born smoothly!"

……

At this moment, the atmosphere in the cabinet was rather dull, and no one spoke.

Everyone was concentrating on reviewing the memorial in their hands. In the entire room, there was only the rustling sound of paper being flipped.

Time passed by like this minute by minute, and after a while, only a shrill voice sounded.

"His Majesty is here!"

Hearing this, everyone was at a loss and stopped reviewing the memorials in their hands one after another. Then, under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, they knelt down on the ground in unison, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

After a while, I saw Jiajing stepping into the cabinet, and Lu Fang followed behind Jiajing.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Jiajing sat down in his seat, then retracted his gaze, and ordered quite casually.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's consent, everyone slowly got up from the ground and sat in their respective positions.

Even though they had rehearsed countless times in their minds before this, when this moment actually arrived, everyone still couldn't help being nervous.

Even Yan Song's hands on the chair couldn't stop trembling slightly.

After Jiajing looked around, he spoke just now.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Lu Fang who was waiting on the side, and nodded slightly to him, and the latter also quickly signaled, and immediately took a step forward, saying in a deep voice.

"Today's cabinet discussion, there are four main things to discuss!"

"The first thing is the integration of officials and gentry, the second thing is the shift of our Ming's strategic focus, the third thing is various matters related to maritime trade, and the fourth thing is related to officials' holidays."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, after saluting Jiajing respectfully, she came to her place and stood still.

Jiajing nodded when he heard the words, and then knocked on the jade pan next to him, only to hear a crisp sound of 'ding', this cabinet meeting officially started!
Jiajing gently stroked the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and asked him.

"Old Yan Ge, what have you thought about these days?"

Although Jiajing's tone was quite flat, Yan Song still felt a strong sense of crisis from it. Yan Song responded cautiously after considering the sentence.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have thought about it since I returned from you last time. I feel that if the policy of integrating government and gentry to pay food can be fully implemented, it will be of great benefit!"

When Yan Song said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face at the right time: "It's just that your majesty, I haven't thought of a way to carry out this policy yet!"

Seeing this, Xu Jie on the side couldn't help cursing inwardly.

"This Yan Song is really an old fox, he picked himself out in a few words."

"You are better off, and I will be miserable next time!"

The development of the matter did not exceed Xu Jie's expectations. After listening to Yan Song's answer, Jiajing nodded, then turned his gaze to Xu Jie and asked.

"Xu Jie, tell me, don't you think so too?"
