Chapter 208 – Memorial
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Zhan left the palace in a daze. The next day, indeed, people came to ask him about the joint petition, but he merely shook his head and remained silent, refusing to leave his residence. Some well-informed individuals heard that his performance evaluation had been marked "mediocre" by the current emperor, and whispers began to circulate. Some reveled in his misfortune, while others who had befriended him in the past felt indignant on his behalf. But seeing him maintain his composure and elegance…

Chapter 207 – Edification
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Zhizhan entered with a heart full of resentment, asking abruptly and expecting the Emperor to be infuriated by his disrespect, to scold him, or to order someone to drag him out. Instead, he saw the Emperor seated above, not answering him but reaching out to take the teacup on the table, slowly taking a sip, seemingly unperturbed. A shudder suddenly surged through Zhuang Zhizhan's heart. He remembered an old saying that the Emperor would only ridicule and berate those ministers to whom he was…

Chapter 206 – Asking the Sage
by Salted Fish — The weather was clear, with the sea breeze blowing gently. Xu Chun, along with Sheng Changtian and Fang Zixing, yelled and played with kites all the way. Xie Yi merely sipped tea on the side, watching them play, exuding an aura of noble grace, yet enjoying the rare leisurely pleasure of a half-day respite from the world. Back at the palace in Jinhaiwei, he spent the afternoon questioning ministers about their investigations into the lives of the people, granting exemptions for several taxes due this…

Chapter 205 – Kite
by Salted Fish — When Xu Chun woke up in the morning, he heard the clear cries of seabirds in the distance, but he couldn't immediately recall where he was. He was tightly wrapped in a soft, warm silk quilt, which sparked memories of the chaotic events from last night. He remembered Xie Yi sitting cross-legged there, his god-like body radiating a captivating luster like jade. He covered his slightly throbbing head and sighed, unsure where Jiu-ge had gone. The palace was taken care of; he knew Jiu-ge would have…

by Salted Fish — After seeing off several envoys, Xu Chun was immediately surrounded by other merchants and some envoys from the South Seas. He had no choice but to make small talk for a while. Thinking about Xie Yi, he returned to the Star-Bathing Pavilion and saw Xie Yi flipping through his drawings on his desk. His heart pounded, fearing that one of his books wasn't hidden well enough. His face flushed slightly as he approached and asked, “Ninth Brother, what are you looking at?” Xie Yi had been bored and noticed…

by Salted Fish — The naval office of Jinhaiwei had hosted banquets with foreign envoys and merchants before, and this time was no exception and was held on an open-air beach lawn under pavilions decorated with fresh flowers. After watching the drills, although the view wasn't as clear from the shore as it was from the building where the emperor and his ministers were, many people had brought their own telescopes and saw the drills taking place. Naturally, they all had their plans in mind. After the exercises, the…

Indeed, upon closer inspection, they found that each nation's troops on the warships were assembled in formation, and were exceedingly robust and fierce. Their movements, such as shouldering rifles and bayonets, were…

by Salted Fish — After several rounds of artillery fire from warships on the sea, the bay gradually calmed down. Everyone could only see that the red targets on the sea had already been completely destroyed, leaving only some scattered wooden boards. Xu Chun observed, "It seems that the naval target practice is too simple. Everyone got perfect scores. Next time, we should use moving targets and increase the distance." A scholar-official asked in surprise, "Can the range be even further?" He couldn't help but look at…
