Chen Musa doesn't like to eat fish, but no matter how much he likes to eat fish, he can't afford to eat it in a Xuanwu Lake, what a big addiction and what a big appetite.

The fish produced in Xuanwu Lake is not exclusive to anyone, but who catches it, and can supply about half of the citizens of Nanjing.

Xuanwu Lake and the island in the center belong to the royal private property, under the supervision of the Zhongshan Palace, in fact, it is an ownerless thing, the emperor has too many things, he can't figure it out, but no one dares to take it for himself.

This time, it was justified to give Chen Musa the island in the center of Xuanwu Lake, and let him study hard there.

Chen Musa carefully played with the will of the saint, and was still a little confused for a while.

Emperor Jiajing is not good at this, his words often contain deep meaning, and there are few people in the whole country who can understand the deep meaning of his words, Yan Song's son Yan Donglou is one of them, and then there is Xu Jie. Chen Musa's meaning in Emperor Jiajing's words is also a person who is good at comprehension, otherwise there would not be so many correspondence.

But this time he really couldn't figure it out, what did he mean by studying hard and advocating Hugh Ming?

Is it to let him be nosy?

However, don't say it's idle business, he doesn't care about business. Definitely not this means, Emperor Jiajing has always thought that he is too far away from the world, ignoring the political situation of the country, and it is helpless to let him go among the people.

He suppressed the nonsense in his heart and entertained Huang Jin and his party first.

Who knew that Huang Jin didn't allow him to entertain at all, but just asked him to find a secret room, and then discussed with him inside for a long time, and even Wei Guogong was excluded.

"Grandpa Guo, what's going on?" asked the Nanjing Rite Department Shangshu who couldn't hold his breath.

"You ask me, who do I ask, isn't this the emperor's style?" Wei Guogong was also helpless.

"It's a good thing after all, right?" Lian Daning was a little uneasy, Chen Musa was a big foundation of his career, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

"Of course it's a good thing, you don't have to guess, the emperor has great hopes for Zhengjun, although those of us who are courtiers can't pay attention to the emperor's deep meaning, but the emperor is very important to Zhengjun, there is no doubt about this. The senior official of the Nanjing Garrison Office explained.

In Nanjing, the real power is the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, and the Zhongshan Palace.

In terms of power and responsibility, the Nanjing Garrison can control the military power of all places in the south of the Yangtze River, and civil affairs are not too important, unless they are related to military affairs.

But this is only from the perspective of power and responsibility, in fact, most of the functions and powers here overlap with the Zhongshan Palace, which is also the characteristic of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and some official positions with overlapping powers are often set up.

For example, a province has a political envoy in charge of government affairs, but it often sends a governor, and when there is an incident, it also has to send a governor, and the governor and the governor are above the governor in terms of official positions, and in fact, many tough governors have real power than the governor.

Why is the authority of officials so established?

The emperor and the court also understand that this is a confused account, but it may not be intentional, maybe the top just likes the infighting among the officials below, which is also a measure to prevent a person from having too much power. As for fighting each other and interfering with each other in government affairs, and getting twice the result with half the effort in administration, it is also the price that must be paid.

Huang Jin talked to Chen Musa in the secret room for a long time before he came out, and then led a large group of people to leave Chen's mansion immediately.

Chen Musa was a little distracted, and he didn't say anything to entertain the guests.

The officials from Nanjing also returned to Nanjing directly, and did not accept the hospitality of Wei Gao, the prefect of Suzhou, they also had ghosts in their hearts, and they didn't know what this holy decree meant, what Huang Jin and Chen Musa discussed in the secret room, and whether all this had a big impact on the political situation in Jiangnan, etc.

"Master Lian, you are close to Chen Zhengjun, do you know what the emperor means by this?"

Nanjing officials Shangshu specially invited Lian Daning to his sedan chair and asked on the way.

"I don't know, I'm afraid Zhengjun himself doesn't know, the adults didn't see the grandfather of the country and smiled bitterly. Lian Daning said with a smile.

"Also, if the emperor's deep meaning is so easy for us to understand, it will not be the emperor. ”

It's really tiring to serve such an emperor, you can't understand what his old man said, let alone understand and comprehend it, so you can't accurately act in accordance with the holy will, and it is inevitable that you will always be to blame for doing things.

Although Yan Song's father and son are hated by everyone, but Yan Donglou's ability is admired by everyone, Yan Gongzi's name was almost one level worse than the Supreme at that time, and it was higher than Yan Song's prestige, Yan Song was able to control the handle for 20 years, also because he gave birth to a good son.

It's just that success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, and it is this son who finally caused Yan Song to starve to death on the ancestral grave, which can be described as impermanent.

Wei Guogong did not return to Nanjing, but stayed.

"Brother, what does the emperor mean by rewarding you with an island? What did Lord Huang tell you?" asked Wei Guogong in Chen Musa's study.

The eunuch doesn't like others to call him a eunuch, of course, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty does not mean the same as the later generations, it is a real official position, the chief of the twelve eunuchs, the eunuch does not like others to call him father-in-law, but likes to call him an adult, an adult, etc., which is the usual name for the court members outside.

They think that although they are missing a part in their body, their minds are no worse than those in the outer court, in fact, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty have made many contributions to the empire, not to mention that Zheng He went to the West, and there are more eunuchs who are in charge of the lifeblood of national power, and have also made many correct decisions that are beneficial to the state and people's livelihood, but their exploits will never be recorded in the history books, but as long as they do something wrong, the infamy they leave behind must be indispensable.

"What Lord Huang said has nothing to do with the Holy Decree, but he is worried about the Holy Bow, and hopes that I can find a way to preserve the Holy Bow. Chen Musa said.

"In this way, the Holy Lord is still fighting the idea of the situation?" Wei Guogong said suddenly.

"Although Lord Huang didn't say it explicitly, I think it should be. Chen Musa smiled bitterly.

Moreover, the terminal illness of Mrs. Wucheng Marquis was cured, and the whole court knew about it, and the emperor was especially concerned about this matter. Although the Marquis of Wucheng Mansion didn't say it to the outside world, outsiders also guessed some of it, and some people in Fengyang also knew something about the situation at that time, and slowly, everyone knew the inside story.

Emperor Jiajing has always hoped that he can also be like Mrs. Wucheng Houtai, obtain the secret of rejuvenation, and borrow another hundred years from heaven, so that he can cultivate into an immortal and stay in the world forever to be an emperor.

Although this is a fantasy, but when he comes to the position of the emperor, what else is worth thinking about for him, the national economy and people's livelihood are worried about the six ministries of the foreign court and cabinet, and he doesn't have to work day and night, he is more concerned about living longer and living a better quality. The quality of life higher than that of the emperor is naturally the life of the gods.

"If the emperor really thinks like this, he can say it clearly, and directly summon him to go to Beijing to meet him?" Wei Guogong was still puzzled.

"This is the emperor's selfish concern, I estimate that His Royal Highness King Yu may be involved in this. Chen Musa's face was a little ugly.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, could it be that last time Zhang Taiyue wanted to recruit him and enter his shogunate, it was His Highness's intention?" Wei Guogong suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart was shocked.

"It should be, we all thought it was Mr. Taiyue's own meaning, but it seems that it is not. ”

"Then ......" Wei Guogong didn't dare to say any more, and he didn't even dare to guess any more in his heart.

Doesn't His Royal Highness King Yu want to treat the emperor and save his life?

This is understandable, although the emperor and the crown prince are father and son, they are also political enemies to a certain extent, and no prince wants to be the prince for a lifetime, and they all look forward to their father and emperor going out and collapsing as soon as possible, that is, he will be able to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Therefore, the emperor has always disliked the early establishment of the crown prince, as long as the prince is established, there will be a struggle between the * and the royalists, and in the end, the closest father and son have become the biggest enemies in the world.

King Yu is still not an official crown prince, at least he has not gone through a formal canonization ceremony, but he enjoys the status of the prince in various regulatory hierarchies, and the ministers of the outer court have recognized him as the crown prince.

Emperor Jiajing also admitted this, and he was not officially canonized just because the Taoist priest said that the two dragons did not meet, and there were no two days, and the prince was naturally a little sun.

As for princes and vassal kings, they are nothing, not even the moon, they can only be counted as small stars.

"It's a headache, the emperor's holy decree is unfathomable. "Chen Musa* up.

"If you say so, it will be so. It's a pity that between the emperor's father and son, you can't stand in line. Wei Guogong also sympathized with him.

Chen Musa has a deep affection for Emperor Jiajing and King Yu, and a deeper personal relationship with King Yu, but if he considers the country's plan, he still favors Emperor Jiajing's side, after all, they have always maintained substantial exchanges between monarchs and ministers, and Emperor Jiajing also respects him.

At this juncture, giving Chen Musa an island, and making such a big move, may be the emperor's response to King Yu's conscription and entering the palace, a statement, and more like a reminder or something, it's hard to say specifically, anyway, that's what it means.

"What are you going to do?" asked Wei Guogong with a smile.

"What else can I do, follow the order to go to Xuanwu Lake to study. Chen Musa smiled bitterly.

"That's good, we brothers can be neighbors, fishing when we have nothing to do, and then braised it, vinegar roasted, steamed, broiled or something, and then drank some wine, this day is also heavenly." Wei Guogong laughed.

Chen Musa also laughed with him, both of them had a little meaning of happiness in suffering, for them, this holy decree was by no means a good thing, and the meaning behind it was extremely profound.

Besides, on the pomegranate side, it has stopped, and the pomegranate has returned to normal, at least on the surface.

"Why am I so useless, I don't know what happened at the time. Pomegranate complained to herself.

"Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, you just can't withstand this sudden change now, this is normal, slowly you will get used to it, you will become stronger in the future, this is called exercise, you know?" and grinned.
