In the capital in February, Taiye Pool has revealed a hint of spring.

The snow on the roof of the Wanshou Palace slowly melted, and a daring sparrow landed on it, and the grass seed that had fallen on the roof quietly cracked and poked out a new sprout.

This dormitory was filled with a strong sandalwood incense, but on the innermost dragon bed, there was Jiajing's coughing sound.

As the illness continued, the face of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty became thinner, and the whole person was already like a thin old man, and the green silk on his head was getting less and less.

Huang Jin often accompanied Jiajing, and his face was full of worry at this time, but he still sent the pill according to his order.

When he handed the pill to Jiajing, he couldn't help but persuade: "Master, Elder Xu Ge said that you want to take care of your vitality and take less pills from those who are not deep enough in Li Wenbin's Taoism!" ”

Jiajing took the pill as he was, and after more than a year of illness, he was not as domineering as he was at the beginning, and he was able to listen to some advice up to the point.

After drinking the water and swallowing the elixir, he sighed softly and said, "I naturally know that Liu Wenbin and Tao Zhongen are far inferior to Tao Immortal Master and Shao Immortal Master, but this is already the most Taoist alchemist in my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Huang Jin didn't dare to say more, but carefully took the water cup.

After learning about the ruthlessness and tyranny in the bones of today's saints, everyone at most made a point-and-stop move, and categorically did not dare to disobey the emperor. Not to mention the eunuchs with low status, even the civil and military ministers outside, all of them silently obeyed the emperor's wishes.

For example, when the first assistant of the dynasty Xu Jie, the emperor made a "physical strength is not strong, and the middle qi is insufficient!" Xu Jie's response was also to persuade the emperor to take less pills for those who were not profound, and did not dare to directly persuade the emperor to stop taking pills.

Just watching the emperor's body lose weight day by day, he slowly realized that perhaps Xu Jie, who seemed to be loyal, was not as loyal as he appeared.

However, Xu Jie's criticism should not be too harsh, after all, the officials who dared to disobey the emperor were all cut from their posts without exception, and even directly pushed to the guillotine, and this court could not tolerate courtiers who were contrary to the current emperor.

After Jiajing took the pill, the whole person seemed to have recovered some of his strength, but he suddenly asked lightly: "Who is the current internal official who is in the Chengtian Mansion to supervise the construction of the palace?" ”

The palace of Chengtianfu has always been the most important project of Jiajing, but the supervision of the internal officials is changed from time to time, especially from the former supervisor eunuch Li Bin to check 300,000 taels, and the eunuchs who supervise the work are frequently replaced.

"Back to the master, the one who is now supervising the work in Yingtianfu is Yuan Heng of the internal official supervisor!" Huang Jin felt a little nervous in his heart, so he replied honestly.

Jiajing had some impressions of this eunuch, and nodded lightly: "He is a person who can do things!" ”

"Yuan Heng is loyal to his master, and he will definitely do what the emperor has explained, and he will definitely not disappoint his master!" Yuan Heng was recommended by Huang Jin, and Huang Jin immediately helped to lay down the guarantee tunnel.

Jiajing pondered for a moment, but suddenly made a decision and said: "Then order Yuan Heng to do a good job in Yingtianfu, and also do a good job of picking up the car!" ”

"Master, what do you want ......?" Huang Jin's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Jiajing Dao in shock.

Jiajing sighed lightly, and said lightly: "I want Nanxing, I want to go to Chengtian, I want to go back to the old palace!" ”

At the end, there was a clear hint of emotion in his tone. Although he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the owner of this Forbidden City, his heart is always thinking of the Xingxian Mansion of Chengtian Mansion, which is his real hometown.

If it weren't for his cousin being too messy, then he would probably still be the king of Xingxian, and he had been living in the palace of Xingxian Wang, and his home was also the palace of Xingxian that haunted him.

"Master, this matter is not trivial, you should be cautious ......" Huang Jin was shocked when he heard this, but he persuaded him.

Jiajing waved his hand lightly and did not let Huang Jin continue.

He didn't want to discuss it with Huang Jin, but this matter was indeed not trivial, after all, Nan Xing would involve all aspects, and the courtiers would probably discourage him from traveling.

Huang Jin knew Jiajing's stubborn and self-serving character, even if he persuaded a few more words, he would be in danger, so he silently swallowed back the words that had been withdrawn into his mouth.

The palace maid and the little eunuch who sent the pill quietly retreated, while Chen Hong and Feng Bao, the two eunuchs with a pen, were already waiting outside, as if they realized that the emperor's mood was not too good, and their faces were a little nervous.

Jiajing has been ill for more than a year, and now it is undoubtedly affecting his handling of government affairs, except for listening to some important recitals, the rest of the recitals are transferred to Xu Jie.

After hearing the movement, he asked lightly: "What is the important performance today!" ”

"The head of the household, Shangshu Lin Haoran, has a sparse submission!" Chen Hong held the top note, looking serious.

Jiajing still attaches more importance to Lin Haoran, not to mention that Lin Haoran is a loyal courtier, I am afraid that he is also the most capable household secretary, so he said lightly: "Submit it!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Hong responded, and presented the song Shu respectfully.

Jiajing took the song and opened the book called "On the Rectification of Qian Zhuang Shu", and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Watching Lin Haoran point the finger at usury, and mentioning the so-called annual fee for the management of the bank, I knew that this was another plan to make money.

It's just that he can't make a decision immediately, so he said lightly to Chen Hong: "Submit it to the cabinet for vote!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Hong stepped forward to take the ticket and responded respectfully.

Since it is just two consecutive rest days, and the second day of the Lunar New Year is the most frequent day for officials, there will be relatively many important matters today.

However, there are three important notes in a row, all of which are discussed by officials. However, when it came to Mao Kai, the right attendant of the ministry, it was Chen Hongnian who listened to the emperor.

Jiajing is a master who is well versed in the art of power, if it is not something that has a clear idea, it is usually thrown to the cabinet, and Xu Jie will come up with a plan and then make a decision.

After dealing with the recital of Mao Kai, the right attendant of the ministry, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Huang Jin seemed to know something, and silently swallowed and spit, and then turned his head to look at Jiajing.

Chen Hong took Feng Bao and handed over the last note, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is another note here, please ...... Please let the emperor see it for himself! ”

"Whose recital?" Jiajing listened to Chen Hong's tone, which was obviously wrong, so he asked lightly.

Chen Hong swallowed his dry mouth, and replied stubbornly: "Your Majesty, this is a note handed over by Hai Rui, the director of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Households, and this sparse is called Public Security Shu!" ”
