I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 601 The Rakshasa Mission Arrives
Since then, several days have passed. During these days, Jiajing ran to Xiyuan every night to practice flying with his sword.

After several days of practice, Jiajing seemed to have successfully mastered the art of sword flying.

After that, Lu Fang also ended his training and returned to Jiajing. The rumors that had been widely circulated in the palace were self-defeating.

On the pier, Niels Rosen and his party looked at the city of Beijing so close in front of them, their faces full of shock.

"Oh my God, there is such a magnificent city here. Even Madrid, the most prosperous capital in Spain, cannot compare with this city!"

“This is really the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth as described in the Bible!”

In addition to the magnificent city, the surrounding scattered buildings, clean and tidy streets, and bustling crowds also greatly shocked Nils and his party.

"The air here is indeed sweet!"

Nils Rosen said with emotion after taking a greedy breath of the air here.

Later, under the guidance of the accompanying Ming officials, Niels and his party were temporarily taken to the Huitong Hall in the capital to live.

After Niels and his party were settled in the Huitong Hall, someone soon reported the news to the Ministry of Etiquette.

……

Forbidden City, Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, Li Chunfang is in the study, handling corresponding official duties.

The Ministry of Rites received the news very early that a Rakshasa delegation would visit the capital in the near future and meet with His Majesty.

Not long ago, Li Chunfang was busy preparing for the next exam specifically for Yu, the clan, and nobles.

Therefore, the preparations for receiving the Rakshasa mission were fully handed over to Xu Xuemo, the Minister of Rites.

At this time, on Li Chunfang's desk, there was a list of gifts carried by this Rakshasa mission reported by officials at all levels below.

"Forty-six ivories, eight globes, five telescopes, six thousand kilograms of spices, three thousand two hundred and twenty taels of gold, in addition to various books on arithmetic, astronomy, etc..."

While Li Chunfang was still checking the gift list, she heard a knock on the door. Seeing this, Li Chunfang immediately stopped what she was doing and gave instructions.

"Come in!"

After the words fell, there was only a "squeak" sound, the door of the room was pushed open, and a subordinate staff member walked in and reported respectfully.

"Master Shangshu, Master Xu is outside asking for an audience!"

"Well, the officer knows, let him in!"

After listening to the subordinate's report, Li Chunfang nodded slightly and gave instructions.

"Yes, Master Shang Shu!"

After the subordinate official heard what Li Chunfang said, he quickly took the order and left. Not long after, Xu Xuemo, the Minister of Rites, entered the room under the guidance of the subordinate official.

After Xu Xuemo entered the room, he leaned down and bowed to Li Chunfang.

"Your Majesty has seen your lord!"

Seeing Xu Xuemo's arrival, Li Chunfang nodded slightly, then changed the topic and asked.

"Well, Shu Ming, come here this time, is there anything you need to report?"

When Xu Xuemo heard this, he nodded and respectfully reported.

"Master Shangshu, the Rakshasa mission has arrived in the capital, and they have been settled in the Huitong Pavilion!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed with emotion.

"Phew, this Rakshasa mission has finally arrived!"

After that, Li Chunfang looked at Xu Xuemo and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Shu Ming, later you and the officials from Honglu Temple will go to the Huitong Hall to meet with them and tell them everything they need to pay attention to when meeting His Majesty."

"In addition, according to this list, count the gifts they brought this time again!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, she handed the gift list on the desk to Xu Xuemo's hands.Xu Xuemo looked at the gift list that was handed to him, his expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a deep voice.

"Obey, Master Shangshu!"

When Li Chunfang heard this, she waved her hand and immediately spoke.

"It's not too late, let's go!"

"Yes, Master Shang Shu!"

After that, Xu Xuemo did not stay in the room for too long and left the room directly. After Xu Xuemo left, Li Chunfang called the subordinates and gave instructions.

"Immediately report the news of the Rakshasa mission's visit to the capital to the cabinet!"

"As ordered, Lord Shangshu, I'll do it right now!"

……

The situation in the cabinet is still much the same as before. Everyone is working on the memorials at hand and chatting from time to time.

Xu Jie took the lead in provoking the topic after putting aside the completed impeachment memorials in his hands.

"By the way, do you know the rumor that spread widely in the palace a few days ago?"

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng on the side joined the discussion after thinking about it for a moment.

"Could Mr. Xu Ge be referring to the rumor that Eunuch Lu is despised by His Majesty?"

"Well, yes, that's it!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he glanced at Zhang Juzheng in surprise and responded in a deep voice.

The reason why Xu Jie was so surprised was that Zhang Juzheng rarely participated in small talk on weekdays. Generally speaking, he was the one who listened quietly.

After that, Xu Jie cleared his throat and continued to add.

"It is said that after His Majesty learned about this rumor, he was very angry and immediately ordered the Jinyi Guards to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumor. Many people were involved!"

Yan Song on the side couldn't help but nodded when he heard Xu Jie's words, and then responded.

"Hmph, these idiots don't even think about it. Eunuch Lu has been with His Majesty for decades, how could he be rejected by His Majesty without any warning?"

When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment, and then spoke with emotion.

"You know, your Majesty is a nostalgic person!"

Yan Song's words were not only spoken to others, but also to himself.

In Yan Song's view, His Majesty's attitude in handling this matter has been very clear: "That is, Lu Fang has been with me for decades, and I want to shake him with these unscrupulous methods. status?"

Jiajing's attitude towards Lu Fang made Yan Song very pleased. After all, he had been accompanying His Majesty for decades!
While Yan Song was still daydreaming in his mind, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the cabinet.

Not long after, I saw a subordinate official walking in. As soon as this subordinate official entered the cabinet, he looked in the direction of Yan Song and Xu Jie without thinking, leaned down and reported respectfully.

"Mr. Geng Ge, there is news from the Ministry of Rites, saying that the Rakshasa mission that came to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit arrived in the capital not long ago. At present, this Rakshasa mission has been placed in the Huitong Pavilion!"

After listening to the subordinate's report, Yan Song nodded and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, we get it, go down!"

"Yes, Mr. Yan Ge!"

Seeing that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, the subordinate official did not stay in the room for too long, but turned around and left.

After the subordinate official left, Yan Song looked at Xu Jie aside and spoke immediately.

"This Rakshasa mission has finally arrived. We have waited so long in vain. Let's do everything as His Majesty ordered earlier!"

"Ah."
