Behind the good weather in April was cloudy and rainy, which made the roofs of the Xiyuan palace complex more dusty, and the woods in the north seemed even more restless.

It's just that no matter how noisy or noisy the outside world is, Wanshou Palace always seems quiet, and this tall palace even exudes a trace of eerie horror.

Last night, in front of the Great Gao Yuan Palace, Jiao was built to pray for eternal life, Jiajing slept until the sun dried his buttocks today, and then went to the quiet room to carry out metaphysical cultivation, and took the next pill after the fact.

The emperor's every move attracted much attention from the outside world, but it was destined to be impossible to go out and go shopping at will like ordinary people, so that daily life inevitably repeated monotonously.

The pill was sent into his stomach along the water, but Jiajing obviously felt that the effect of the pill was declining, but the obsession with immortality in his heart was increasing instead of decreasing.

After he took the pill, he sighed secretly in his heart. I only hope that this court can have less troubles, so that he can focus more on cultivating the Xuan, so that he can step into the realm of immortality in the morning, and even be able to soar in the daytime.

"Master, how do you feel?" Huang Jin followed the water cup handed back by Jiajing, and immediately asked with concern.

Jiajing's cough symptoms had just disappeared some time ago, but when he got up in the morning, he had retching symptoms, which made Huang Jin look at him quite worriedly at this time.

Facing Huang Jin's concerned gaze, Jiajing waved his hand casually, and left the quiet room directly, intending to start his work as emperor today.

When they arrived in the hall, Feng Bao and another young eunuch were already busy here.

The music of the two capitals and thirteen provinces has been classified, roughly divided by priority, and is neatly stacked on the long black lacquered case.

Jiajing is well aware of the harm of eunuchs interfering in politics, so since he ascended the throne, he has maintained the suppression of eunuchs.

Even if he chose to trust Yan Song's "traitorous ministers", he never thought of handing over the "red right to approve red" to these internal prisoners, but always drove these internal prisoners as servants.

Feng Bao was only in his early twenties and served as one of the four great eunuchs who wrote the pen, not only because he had a good penmanship, but also because this young eunuch was not easy to interfere in political affairs, but honestly did a good job of clerical work.

Jiajing first lay on his side on the soft couch, and then stretched out his hand to the stack of important notes, which were usually the words of the official impeachment of important officials of the imperial court and the officials of the feudal territory.

He has always disliked these officials who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. He prefers obedient officials to those pretentious Qingliu, even if these officials have more or less faults.

Then again, he Zhu Houxi is not a Ming Jun.

From the fact that he led the Zuoshunmen bloody case and watched the queen who saved him being burned alive, he was destined not to leave a good reputation in the history books.

Now, he has only one thought: to cultivate the mysteries well to find immortality, to be a king for thousands of generations, and to let those courtiers who oppose him all go to hell.

Jiajing casually flipped through a notebook, just looking at the impeached person and the impeached person, he couldn't help but show an intriguing smile on his face.

Huang Jin noticed Jiajing's expression, but he couldn't help but look at the note curiously, and found that the person who was sparse turned out to be Qin Minglei, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

"Huang Jin, have I ever issued a decree that 'if the Franc Robot does not return the land of Mangara, he will never be summoned'?" Jiajing closed the music and asked Huang Jin.

Huang Jin thought about it seriously for a while, and immediately realized that this should be an early matter, and he was still the little eunuch in charge of living in the palace at that time, but he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The slave doesn't remember, but this matter can be checked!" ”

"Well, you can check it out and see if there's such a thing!" Jiajing put the music aside and said lightly.

Huang Jin immediately responded, but this matter would not be answered in a while, that is, he turned around and instructed a little eunuch to lead a few people to the database to verify.

Jiajing took another copy of the note and flipped through it, but his face suddenly became solemn.

Huang Jin sent tea, this time it was really visible, it was already a note from the criminal department to Zhang Yue in the matter.

Jiajing pondered for a moment, and then handed over the song directly to Feng Baodao next to him: "Send it to the cabinet!" ”

Feng Bao answered, but gently put this piece aside. Since a large number of notes have to be sent to the cabinet, this note will not be sent alone, but will be sent to the cabinet along with other notes.

The affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces are many and complicated, involving all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. It is not only about personnel, but also about the requisition of money, and even natural disasters.

Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been a shortage of rain in many places.

Jiajing adopted the usual practice, and immediately decided to build Jiao and pray for rain, let the Taoist priests carry incense and silk to the ministers in various places, send envoys to worship the gods of Zhenhai River and mountains and rivers, and ordered the town to guard the Yuanyou Palace of Zhenjiao Chengtian in Guang'an.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, and because he was old, he would inevitably lose energy, and after spending an hour dealing with those important notes, Jiajing waved his hand at Feng Bao.

Feng Bao immediately comprehended the salute, and then led the little eunuch to personally send a large number of not too important recitals to the cabinet, and saw that Yan Ne, the head of the household department, happened to be present, so he saluted this important minister, and then left in a hurry.

Xu Jie watched Feng Bao leave, reached out and picked up the most important note above, frowned slightly, and then handed the note directly to Yan Ne on the other side.

Yan Ne took the note and opened it for some reason, but saw that it was written: "The Weichen Criminal Department gave Zhang Yue a note in the matter: Today, the officials are in charge of the Qingming Dynasty, but the military department has not been rectified, and the appointment of Huang Yin, Huang Chengqing, etc. are all illegal and dismissed. Cao Si of the military department is chaotic and has no rules, his subordinates form a friend, act in embarrassment, and attack the general colonel, and his crimes should be punished! ”

Although the spearhead of this letter is directly aimed at the Ministry of War and the officials of the Ministry of War, and does not directly name names, the spearhead is already alluding to Yang Bo, the current secretary of the Ministry of War.

The officials of the six yamen were all rectified, but they did not rectify the military department, which was because of Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department. It is precisely because Yang Bo is pampered and arrogant that he treats the military department as his own place, prevents the officials from interfering in the personnel of the military department, and even excludes dissidents and cultivates party henchmen in the military department and the army.

Yan Ne read the content of the above recital, thought for a while, raised his head in shock, and said: "The emperor did not withhold this recital this time, but asked someone to send it to you, isn't the emperor going to do something to Yang Bo?" ”

As a person close to the emperor, he has a lot of thoughts about this emperor with a changeable temperament and understands his true intentions. Some seemingly inconsequential actions often reveal some deep meaning.

"It's still impossible to judge what the holy will is, but last year, the Mongolian cavalry ran to the city of Beijing, and the officials led by Lin Haoran questioned Yang Bo's military talent, and the emperor is afraid that Yang Weiyue is not as favored as before!" Xu Jie shook his head lightly and judged.

Yan Ne knew that Xu Jie could guess the emperor's intentions better than him, and he also agreed with Xu Jie's judgment, so he immediately asked seriously: "Lord Yuanfu, how is this matter good?" ”

"Let's tell Yang Weiyue about this matter first, since it was he who caused the trouble, it is naturally up to him to resolve it!" Xu Jie's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he immediately responded in a deep voice.

In fact, it is not only the emperor, but he also has a grudge against Yang Bo.

Yang Bo has always regarded the military department as his own land, and he has promoted officials and generals from his faction, but there have been repeated accidents. For example, in the appointment of Yang Shangying, Lin Haoran used it, thus pushing Zhang Wei to the throne of the governor of Zhejiang.

Now, the Criminal Department has impeached Zhang Yueshangshu in the matter, and the emperor has also thrown Song Shu to him, proving that Yang Bo's status is no longer unbreakable.

Although he has a close relationship with Yang Bo, but Yang Bo provoked this kind of incident, it is impossible for him to help Yang Bo wipe his ass, so naturally he wants Yang Bo to find a way to solve the matter.

Yan Ne caught the subtle change in Xu Jie's attitude, and nodded gently in agreement.

When Yang Bo returned home in Xia Ya and got the news of his impeachment, he was so angry that he immediately cursed to his feet: "This matter must be Lin Ruoyu who wants to put me to death!" ”

If you want to make a list of the most hated people, then Lin Haoran is already at the top. Since Lin Haoran returned to Beijing, his life is no longer as moisturized as before, and now Lin Haoran is approaching step by step, and he actually wants to remove him from the throne of the military department in one fell swoop.

"Dad, what should I do now!" Yang Junmin got the news from his top boss Yan Ne, and at this time he sat on the chair next to him and asked with a worried face.

Now that the Criminal Division has given Zhang Yue the impeachment of his father in the matter, he has reached the cabinet, although with the close relationship between his family and Xu Jie, Xu Jie will naturally favor his father.

It's just that the key to the matter is not in the cabinet, but in the divine will.

If his father suddenly loses his holy will like Yan Song, the first assistant of the year, then it is likely that he will lose the position of the secretary of the military department, which is the most worrying thing at present.

Yang Bo took a sip of the teacup sent by the housekeeper, although he was very angry in his heart, he kept a cool head, gritted his teeth with resentment, and said: "I will defend myself tomorrow and ask for my resignation to show my innocence!" ”

When the word "resignation" was spoken, the bite was very heavy, and it was filled with a strong resentment.

"Dad, are you going to throw in the towel?" Yang Min's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in great surprise.

"The emperor shouldn't let your father go, and you have to rely on your father to protect the north!" Yang Bo gently put down the teacup in his hand and said quite confidently.

Unlike those officials who are favored by their words, his greatest political capital is to be able to ensure the stability of the Nine Sides and the peace of Beijing.

If the emperor wants to remove him from the post of secretary of the military department, it is very likely that he will face an unstable nine sides, and even endanger the city of Beijing, which the emperor categorically does not want to see.

It is precisely for this reason that he dared to unscrupulously exclude dissidents and form gangs in the military department and the army, so that the military department was almost completely free from the court.

Now he naturally doesn't really want to resign and go home, let alone easily let go of power, but to resolve this potential big crisis by retreating.

"Dad, what if your resignation is submitted and the emperor agrees to your resignation?" Yang Junmin didn't dare to be too optimistic, but asked worriedly.

"If it is really approved by the emperor, then you can go back to your hometown in Shanxi with me and avoid that Lin Ruoyu for the time being!" Yang Bo glanced at Yang Junmin, and he planned for the worst.

It was a risky move to show his innocence, but he had to do so.

If you don't show the gesture of resignation, I am afraid that it will not be easy to get through this matter peacefully. After all, Zhang Yue's impeachment is indeed a matter, once the imperial court seriously investigates it, this will hit the generals and small schools, and if the subordinates of the real subordinates form friends, it will be a big crime.

If it is at that time, not only will he lose the throne of the military department, but I am afraid that he will have to go to prison.

"The child is commanded!" Yang Junmin listened to his father's arrangement, and said with a lot of unpleasantness.

He went through a lot of hardships to get the fame of Jinshi, and he has survived until now he is the head of the Liupin Household Department, which can be described as a bittersweet come. But on the contrary, he was passively involved in this court struggle.

Once his father is really defeated, then he will follow his father to leave the court to avoid Lin Haoran's edge. It's just that Lin Haoran is ten years younger than him, and it is already a sure thing to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister next, how can he avoid it, isn't he going to be an official forever?

It's just that Yang Bo has already made up his mind, and let Yibo go by resigning, and success and failure are all in the hands of Jiajing.

Huaishu Hutong, Wu Mansion.

Because the Criminal Department accused Zhang Yue of the malaise of the military department in the incident, this matter has made the current situation tense and the forces of all parties are also ready to move.

Lin Haoran had just returned home from the Huitong Pavilion when he learned that Wu Shan had asked him to come over. Due to the proximity of the two houses, he simply didn't even sit in a sedan chair, and immediately decided to walk to the Wu Mansion in the alley next door.

"Xianggong, then we will dine together at my father's house tonight, okay?" Wu Qiuyu looked at Lin Haoran and wanted to go immediately, and immediately proposed.

"Very good!" Lin Haoran nodded indifferently.

When Wu Qiuyu got the answer, he happily asked people to send the dishes to his mother's house, and at the same time followed Lin Haoran to go with him.

Lin Haoran and Wu Qiuyu entered the Wu Mansion, so naturally they didn't need to be heard, Wu Qiuyu went to look for her mother, and Lin Haoran came to the pavilion in the backyard with ease.

Wu Shan is a person who pays attention to the rules, and he restricts his own behavior, so he does not have any bad habits. When I returned home to deal with the affairs of the officials and yamen every day, I also changed my clothes and came to the pavilion in the back garden to look at the sunset.

Lin Haoran came to the pavilion in the light of the setting sun, and respectfully saluted Wu Shan, who was sitting here drinking tea: "The son-in-law has seen Lord Yue!" ”

"The impeachment of Yang Bo, did you let Zhang Yue do it?" Wu Shan gently put down the teacup, looked up at Lin Haoran and went straight to the point.
