Hearing this sudden report, everyone's attention turned to the report.

Jiajing has been an emperor for more than 40 years, and he has already refined Mount Tai to collapse to the top without changing his color, although he knows that there is no good thing, but he said to Huang Jin in a deep voice: "Submit it!" ”

Xu Jie's brows furrowed slightly, and he said secretly: Guangxi's eight hundred miles are urgent, I'm afraid that Wei Yinbao has made a moth again?

Jiajing seemed to have the same thoughts, and when Huang Jin sent the 800 miles from Guangxi to the urgent report, he opened the urgent report in a boring manner.

Huang Jin, Feng Bao and other eunuchs were full of curiosity and secretly observed the emperor's reaction.

When Jiajing saw the above content, as if he didn't believe his eyes, he widened his eyes slightly, and then a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart, but he slapped his thigh hard.

Syllable!

This voice is particularly crisp in the hall of Nuoda.

"Please calm the emperor's anger, and the ministers will discuss with the ministers again, and come up with a plan that satisfies the emperor!" Xu Jie didn't dare to look directly at Jiajing, and when he heard this sudden voice, he mistakenly thought that the emperor had fallen into an emergency, and immediately knelt down to make a statement.

Huang Jin and Feng Bao couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Xu Jie's statement.

Jiajing swallowed back the word "good" that came out of his mouth, his eyes slowly fell on Xu Jie, and he said with a complicated face: "No need, Wei Thief has already ...... Captured! ”

"The emperor is merciful...... Yes? When Xu Jie heard the first half of the sentence, he mistakenly thought that Jiajing didn't want to raise troops to recruit Wei Yinbao, and when the words came to his mouth, he reacted, and the whole person was immediately stunned.

He actually wanted to get rid of Wei Yinbao, but he knew that this matter would not be beneficial to him, the first assistant, and it would cost a lot of money to transfer troops, but he didn't believe his ears anyway, and Wei Yinbao was captured.

Jiajing put down the urgent report in his hand, and had already returned to his usual calm and said: "Nanyang Patrol Lin usually led the Guizhou Left Guard and the township soldiers to ambush Wei Yinbao, killing 2,936 enemy bandits, and capturing the traitor Wei Yinbao!" ”

If he still felt aggrieved about Wei Yinbao's matter just now, it could be said that he was unprecedentedly happy at this moment, and he felt the pleasure of raising his eyebrows for a long time.

This time, he not only captured the thief leader Wei Yinbao alive, but also killed 2,936 enemy bandits, which can be described as a great victory in the true sense.

"This ......"

Xu Jie's mouth opened slightly, and the whole person looked unbelievable, not only surprised that Wei Yinbao was captured alive, but also unable to believe that nearly 3,000 enemy bandits had been killed.

Jiajing's eyes stared at the stunned Xu Jie, and said with great emotion: "You are really not as good as a girl!" ”

"Panic!" When Xu Jie heard this evaluation, he immediately kowtowed.

Jiajing was unprecedentedly disappointed in Xu Jie, but he waved his sleeves and said, "Go back!" Go back to spend your Spring Festival, enjoy the knots of hundreds of officials, Daming is really worried, anyway, I can't count on you! ”

The important ministers led by Xu Jie held a court meeting, and in the face of a thief who was obviously bullied, he came up with a weak plan to make the local officials hold the letter and appease him.

If Lin Pingping hadn't captured Wei Yinbao alive, it would have been forgotten, but Lin Pingping not only captured Wei Yinbao alive, but also killed nearly three lines of enemy bandits, so that he could really see how incompetent these important ministers were.

Xu Jie wanted to defend again, but thinking of the correspondence before and after, he finally turned into a sigh.

It was Jiajing's words that made Xu Jie's Spring Festival tremble, and the more the officials who came to his door flattered him, the more he felt scared in his heart.

In order to alleviate the sense of anxiety in his heart, he even went to the military department to check whether Lin Ping had falsely reported his military exploits, but there was the hall seal of the three divisions on it.

Within a few days, Xu Jie's situation made Xu Jie even more uneasy, because the three divisions of Guangxi jointly sent Wei Yinbao, his brother Wei Yinzhan and Liao Donggui to submit a letter of surrender to Daming.

If it is only to capture Wei Yinbao alive, it can only be regarded as a merit to get rid of the thief, and Wei Yinzhan and Liao Donggui sent a letter of surrender, which is a great achievement to pacify the place.

Especially when Lin Ping did not raise troops on a large scale, this military feat was particularly dazzling, and some people even wanted to ask Lin Ping to be awarded the martial arts.

It is already in the Spring Festival period, and officials are still paying more attention to pulling relations, especially foreign officials have come to Beijing one after another to report their posts, which has added a bit of joy to this year's Spring Festival.

Since the Spring Festival is followed by the Lantern Festival, the normal holiday time for officials is from the first day to the twentieth day of the new year.

It's just that on the thirteenth day of the year, Li Chunfang suddenly called Lin Haoran and Gao Gong back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and then he took the two of them to Xiyuan to meet Xu Jie.

Holidays are the business of ordinary officials, such as Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, Yuan Wei, the second assistant, Wu Shan, the secretary of the ministry, Yan Ne, the secretary of the household department, Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Dong Fen, the left servant of the ministry, are still on duty in Xiyuan.

"Lord Lord, what happened?" Gao Gong's temperament was more impatient, so he immediately asked.

Li Chunfang led the two of them to walk towards the palace gate, but he didn't look back and said, "Yuanfu informed me to call you two, and I don't know what happened!" ”

Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine Xu Jie was selling this time, and his heart suddenly moved slightly, thinking that the candidate for the examiner of this year's examination had not yet been decided.

It's just that this idea has just been born, and then it is self-defeating. Unless the emperor appoints him to be the chief examiner of this examination, with his official position and qualifications, he has no chance of winning at all.

Among the six bigwigs who rotated in Xiyuan, only the first assistant Xu Jie and his father-in-law presided over the examination and were excluded, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Yuan Wei, the head of the household department, Yan Ne, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Chunfang, and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Dong Fen, had to be ranked in front of him.

If there was only one in front, he would still have a chance to compete, but the first four were all long-born pavilion elders or quasi-pavilion elders, but there was no chance at all.

Since it is now in the middle of the holidays, although Xu Jie still often appears in the West Garden, he does not need to go to the duty room of the Wuyi Hall to work, but can wait for the dispatch in this house.

Li Chunfang and the three of them came directly to the house where Xu Jie lived, and saluted respectfully to Xu Jie, who was sitting at the tea table: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Yuanfu!" ”

Xu Jie, who was still the image of a gentle old man, nodded lightly at the three of them, and when he saw a small wound on Gao Gong's forehead, he asked with concern.

"It's okay, if you accidentally touch it a few days ago, you will get back together naturally after a while!" Gao Gong was slightly moved by Xu Jie's concern, and responded indifferently.

Lin Haoran observed Xu Jie's expression, wanting to find some clues from it. If it wasn't a very urgent matter, it would be impossible to call them here, let alone three at once.

After Xu Jie asked the three of them to sit down, he pointed to the urgent report on the table and said in a surprising voice: "I just got the news from Huguang, on the ninth day of this month, King Jing ...... It's gone! ”

"What?"

When Li Chunfang and the other three heard this sudden news, they were immediately stunned.

Lin Haoran glared at him in surprise, and then suddenly realized a little, so his face didn't look too surprised.

Gao Gong's eyes were round, and he asked Xu Jie seriously: "Lord Yuanfu, is this matter serious?" ”

Li Chunfang glanced at Gao Gong and said in her heart: Who dares to joke about this kind of thing. Just thinking about the relationship between Gao Gong and King Yu, he was relieved for a while, and at the same time he was a little envious.

"Su Qing, local officials don't dare to pretend to report this kind of thing, today the old man called the three of you over, just to ask your Ministry of Rites to come up with a charter immediately!" Xu Jie nodded lightly and explained his intentions.

Although it is now the holiday period, but the dignified Ming vassal king and the current saint's father and son have passed away, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites naturally wants to come back obediently to complete this matter.

After a pause, Xu Jie asked straight to the point: "King Jing, this is a major event for our Ming Dynasty, what do you think should be done with it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Gong immediately proposed: "As far as I know, King Jing has no children under his knees, so remove King Jing Shijue, and return his 400 acres of land to the people!" ”

Lin Haoran couldn't help but smile, this high-tech deal is really impatient. This matter was originally a matter of course, and now it is the first to be put out, and it is undoubtedly inferior.

Xu Jie nodded noncommittally, but turned his head to look at Li Chunfang.

"Since King Jing has no queen, the lower officials think that it is not appropriate to let him be buried in the fiefdom Anlu, so why not transport King Jing's bones back to the capital and bury them in Xishan, how about it?" Li Chunfang looked much more stable, and asked Xu Jie's opinion.

If King Jing has a queen, he will naturally be buried in Anlu. It's just that King Jing is the heir, if he still stays in Anlu, I'm afraid that there will be no mourners in the future.

Xu Jie stroked his beard lightly, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, then let's do this, it's just King Jing's nickname?" ”

This is the evaluation of his life. In the beginning, many emperors and princes were slandered, but after the Tang and Song dynasties, most of them were praise, or at least they would be a plain insult.

It's not that the quality of these emperors and princes has suddenly improved, but that officials are becoming more and more proficient in life, even the thirteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the most "bastard", has also been nicknamed "Jane".

"I heard that King Jing built King Jing's Mansion on a large scale in Anlu, and also requisitioned migrant workers to build a lot of pavilions, which made the local people complain very much. Gao Gong pretended to ponder for a moment, and then made a proposal.

Li Chunfang glanced at Gao Gong and said in her heart: Everyone is already dead, do you need to kill them all like this?

Xu Jie did not veto it on the spot, but looked at Lin Haoran gently and asked, "If you are foolish, I don't know what kind of nickname you think is appropriate?" ”

This method is undoubtedly very clever, not only did not directly brush Gao Gong's face, but also lightly gave Lin Haoran a problem.

If King Jing hadn't died, Gao Gong would still be just a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but now that King Jing is dead, then Gao Gong is destined to be the most senior Ming Emperor in the future.

Gao Gong's brows frowned slightly, and he also turned his head to look at Lin Haoran seriously, wondering if this kid knew how to change.

Lin Haoran didn't have too much fear of Gao Gong, and said on a case-by-case basis: "When King Jing was in Beijing in the past, his behavior was always humble and polite, and the officials also praised him. ”

Xu Jie's genius lies in the fact that no one will take the initiative to offend, but he looked at Li Chunfang with a smile and asked, "Zishi, which one do you think is suitable?" ”

This choice suddenly fell into the hands of Li Chunfang, no matter which one Li Chunfang chooses, no one will complain about him Xu Jie.

"King Jing has heard a lot of things when he is outside, and he is indeed as Zuo Zongbo said in the capital, he treats people with humility and courtesy, and the lower officials think that the nickname 'Gong' is more appropriate!" Although Li Chunfang was jealous of Gao Gong, it was impossible for him to follow Gao Gong together, so he responded seriously.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites have unified their opinions, no matter how unhappy Gao Gong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is, his arms can't twist his thighs.

The matter of the nickname was decided, and the specific matters to be handled were discussed, and Li Chunfang personally wrote it, and soon took out the charter for handling King Jing's posthumous affairs.

Although the Ministry of Rites came up with the charter, Xu Jie had no objections, but in the end, the emperor still needed to pass the review.

After bidding farewell to Li Chunfang and the others, Xu Jie took the charter to the Wanshou Palace to face the saint, and inquired about Huang Jin, who came out: "Huang Gonggong, how is the emperor now?" ”

Although the emperor is a long-lived man, he just died another son, and he undoubtedly experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person again.

"The emperor is nothing, it's just ...... It's just that after taking the pill sent by Tao Xiaoxian Master today, he suddenly vomited it all! Huang Jin looked at no one on the left and right, and responded softly.

Xu Jie's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he responded sadly: "The emperor is really sad this time, you are always by the emperor's side, you must persuade the emperor to protect the dragon body!" ”

"Our servants are no better than you important ministers who can write and deal with songs and green words, if we dare to say a word that the emperor doesn't like, I'm afraid we will have to leave the Wanshou Palace!" Huang Jin is pouring bitter water.

The words of persuasion naturally depend on people, and Jiajing is undoubtedly an emperor who does not listen to persuasion.

Since he is now in the holiday period, Jiajing does not need to criticize the pavilion, and now he is not in the main hall, but in the back of the metaphysical cultivation place.

Xu Jie followed Huang Jin around the main hall and came to the outside of the quiet room, symbolically patted the non-existent snowflakes on his shoulders, and tidied up his official hat again, and then cautiously walked inside.

Jiajing, who was wearing a blue robe, was sitting on a bright yellow futon, and was closing his eyes at the moment.

Xu Jie came to the front of Jiajing, and immediately bowed and said: "The emperor mourns, please take care of the dragon body!" ”

When the words fell, he bowed as if it were a statue, but there was no response. It's just that Xu Jie knew in his heart that this was Jiajing's consistent practice, so he didn't dare to make any transgressions.

Jiajing exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then responded lightly: "I am not sad! This son has always tried to take the heir, but God does not forgive him! ”

Xu Jie secretly swallowed and spit, hearing this tone, he was really not sad at all, but he still said pretendedly: "King Jing is known as a virtuous person, and he is humble and polite, but it's a pity that he is young...... Morning Bu, the minister is overwhelmed with grief, it is really ......"

"This matter has been stopped in the past, but something has happened?" Jiajing was really not hurt, and interrupted impatiently.

Xu Jie found that his pretense was really redundant, so he handed over the prepared charter and said: "The minister convened the three officials of the Ministry of Rites to jointly draw up the future affairs of King Jing, and asked the emperor to take a look!" ”

Jiajing didn't bother to look at it, and responded with a very firm attitude: "Then let's do it according to this!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Jie responded respectfully, looked up at Jiajing and didn't seem to have any other instructions, so he saluted in a proper manner: "The minister retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

When leaving, Huang Jin watched Jiajing continue his meditation, but chose to follow Xu Jie.
