In the early spring, the palace is still depressed, and with the overwhelming filial piety cloth, it adds a bit of coolness.

The whole country is in mourning, although the matter of Prince Yu's inheritance of the unification is certain, but before the funeral of Emperor Jiajing, he is still the identity of the prince, wearing linen and filial piety, and doing his filial piety in front of Emperor Jiajing's spirit.

"Lord Wang, you can rest." A group of cabinet officials led by Xu Jie, also dressed in filial piety clothes, walked to King Yu, who had been kneeling for a day and a night, and persuaded him.

"No need, the lonely king must accompany his father and the emperor well, and your errands must be done quickly, and the nickname and the specifications of the funeral must be agreed upon as soon as possible." Yuwang said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, the ministers will do it as soon as possible. But the prince, Shao Zhenren and Tao Zhenren in the palace want to come and pray for the first emperor, you see this, ......" Speaking of this, Xu Jie was a little hesitant, Emperor Jiajing favored the warlock, and the official positions of these two people were higher than their own first assistant, and it was still unclear that King Yu had an attitude towards the two, which was really not good to offend.

As soon as he heard the names of these two people, King Yu felt that the anger in his chest was monstrous, it was the nonsense of these two people that made his father and son unable to see each other for more than ten years.

And now they dare to come out, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead. King Yu snorted coldly and ordered: "Put them in custody and deal with them after the funeral of my father!" ”

A hint of joy flashed in Xu Jie's eyes, and the rest of the people were also excited, these warlocks who were stealing from high positions with small tricks were finally going to suffer!

"Yes, Wechen will do it." Xu Jie bowed respectfully, and walked out with everyone.

Emperor Bintian, although Shen Chongming, who is a courtier, is not qualified to mourn, he is also wearing a black veil on the outside of his official robe, and he is sitting in front of several women at this time worried.

The whole country was mourned, and the imperial court strictly forbade marriage, and his original desire to discuss with his parents to take leave and return to his hometown to complete the marriage during this period of time was frustrated.

"This, our marriage can only be postponed." Sighing, Shen Chongming raised his head and said to Yan Yumeng, Little Senior Sister and Wan Jiayi in front of him.

After nearly a year of thinking, Miss Wan finally regained everyone's true beauty, and Shen Chongming also had a good impression of her, originally thinking of marrying the three of them home, but when it came to this incident, the plan was completely ruined.

Among the three, Yan Yumeng was the oldest, and the other two also called her sister, so they saw her smile slightly, "Son, we all know this, it's nothing, the marriage is postponed." ”

Seeing that the other two also nodded, Shen Chongming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was originally afraid that they would be angry with himself for this matter.

"That's fine. Jiayi, you have been in the capital for almost a year, Uncle Wan has written many times to urge you to go back, originally thinking that we would go back together after the New Year, but now that this has happened, I can't go back, and in a few days, I will arrange for you and Xin'er to go back, Uncle Wan in the province is always worried. Shen Chongming turned his head to Wan Jiayi and said.

"Well, but Chongming, when are you going back?" Wan Jiayi also misses her parents a little, but she is a little reluctant to leave Shen Chongming, so she is more relieved to guard him.

"At the end of this year at the latest, I will definitely go back then." Shen Chongming promised that after one year, he would be able to get married after the New Year, and then he would not have to guard a few beauties and not be able to eat.

Wan Jiayi smiled shyly, and after she went back, it was time to get married.

Emperor Jiajing was funeral, Prince Yu ascended the throne, and the year name was Longqing. Because he ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, under the strong recommendation of a group of ministers, the name of the era was changed that year to the first year of Longqing.

The new emperor ascended the throne, naturally he wanted to reward the ministers, and it was inevitable to add officials to the knighthood, Xu Ge's proud disciple Zhang Juzheng quickly entered the cabinet to do an errand, and even Shen Chongming, the small soldier in the Yu Wang**, also benefited a lot.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, there were many affairs, not only to be busy with domestic affairs, but also to accept the congratulations of the subject countries, and of course the provocation of the enemy was also to follow.

The affairs of the imperial court are very easy to say, and there is no need for Emperor Longqing to bother with Xu Jie, the old man, or even other ministers.

"In accordance with the instructions of the first emperor, all the officials who were convicted for their words during the Jiajing period were rehabilitated, the living officials were reinstated, and the deceased were compensated by their descendants, and the emperor was also asked to issue an edict to implement it as soon as possible." The first great meeting of the new emperor on the throne, Xu Jie's first report was played.

Gao Gong beside him was stunned, looked at Guo Pu, who was also a fellow cabinet minister, with a puzzled face, and asked quietly: "Lord Guo, have you heard of the emperor's legacy?" ”

Guo Pu also frowned, shook his head and said: "No, we entered the palace with Xu Ge Lao that day, and the emperor had already returned to heaven at that time, and I had never heard of such a posthumous training." ”

Gao arched his eyes narrowed, and he was inevitably a little angry in his heart, Lord Xu didn't do this right, not to mention the crime of falsely spreading the testament and bullying the king, such a major matter must at least be discussed by everyone in the cabinet, where can you make a decision by yourself.

Guo Pu was also full of unhappiness, he entered the cabinet earlier than Gao Gong, and he had a good relationship with Xu Jie on weekdays, but he never thought that the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and he thought that he would monopolize the power, which was really a bit excessive.

"Two adults, why bother with some trivial things, Lord Xu is also thinking about the court." Li Chunfang, the old cabinet minister on the right, whispered.

Li Chunfang's qualifications are older than Xu Jie, but this old man has always pursued the golden mean, although he has been in the cabinet for less than 20 years, he has no prestige.

Having said that, Guo Pu didn't have the heart to refute him in the court, and the front of the car glanced at Zhang Juzheng, who was silent on his side, and snorted angrily and stopped talking.

Complaining here, Emperor Longqing on the dragon chair nodded in agreement. When the courtiers saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, all the officials who were qualified to stand in the court, the officials who had not been officials for more than ten years, and those officials who were convicted of crimes were inextricably linked with them, and now they have been reversed, which can be described as a great joy.

Xu Jie looked back and entered the ranks, feeling the grateful eyes of the courtiers, and couldn't help but show a hint of triumph on his face, this move to recruit and buy people's hearts was a great success.

Gao Gong and Guo Pu glanced at each other, and their hearts were even more angry.

The affairs of the court have come to an end, but the affairs of the border are worrying, even so, the direction of development of things is still beyond everyone's expectations.

There is no problem in the north side of the battle, but the south side has arrived quickly, and the small country of Annam has committed a crime!

The Kingdom of Annan is not large, and it was originally a vassal state of the Celestial Empire. However, these people have been repeated, and when they are strong, they will not recognize this relationship, and they will send troops to provoke to show their strength. However, in the face of such a giant as the Celestial Empire, the result can be imagined, every time it ends dismally, and then sends envoys to pay tribute to submit the surrender table, it is still the status of a vassal country.

Naturally, no one would care about such a small country compared to Alta in northern Xinjiang, but I didn't expect them to pick such a trick this time, which made the newly enthroned emperor very angry.

"Bastard, little Annan dares to make a mistake, he just doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" In the face of several ministers, Emperor Longqing did not hide the anger in his heart.

"The emperor is angry, and Annan is not enough to worry about, just send a general to calm down." Xu Jie opened his mouth to persuade, he has been in the cabinet for so many years, he has never seen anything, a little hairy child is really not angry when he makes trouble, and they will be obedient when they are spanked.

"Yes, you guys hurry up and come up with the charter, within three days, you must take out all the candidates for the general of the expedition to the south and the deployment of the troops of the expedition to the south, and immediately send troops south to repel the Annan rebellion, if possible, capture more prisoners of war and come back, I want to see what these hairy monkeys look like!" Emperor Longqing said menacingly.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to discuss the selection of this general, Weichen can nominate one now." Xu Jie opened his mouth and smiled.

"Oh, who?" Although King Yu has had a lot of his own team over the years, he has not interfered in the affairs of the army, and he is afraid that he will be deducted from the name of plotting rebellion, so he is not very familiar with the generals.

"The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo." Xu Jie said his name with a smile, looked at the others with puzzled faces, and explained: "Although Grandpa Guo is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is just a part-time errand, a few years ago, when he was in good health, he was the commander of the Jingwei Capital, and he served as the chief soldier of Datong earlier, and the old generals under his command are all over the army. This time to send troops to Annan, there is no need for any fierce generals, what is just for the high morality of the generals so that the southern generals can work together and defeat Annan is not a problem. ”

"Hehe, Xu Aiqing is very knowledgeable, so let Chengguo Gong take command and go on the expedition." This was said very satisfactorily, the little Annan, without any elite soldiers, only need to dispatch the soldiers of the local guard post to take it.

Seeing Emperor Longqing's response, Xu Jie smiled modestly, becoming more and more important, hehe.

He was happy, because a few days ago, Gao Gong and Guo Pu, who were still unhappy about the posthumous training of the court, were even more angry, the emperor obviously asked everyone to discuss this matter together, why are you Xu Jie, there are many prestigious generals in the court, and he is not the only one Zhu Xizhong.

However, although he was not convinced, since Emperor Longqing agreed, he naturally couldn't speak out against it.

"Your Majesty, although this general is there, but when our dynasty sends troops to fight, there has always been a supervising army, and this errand is also very important, I don't know who the emperor wants to appoint." Gao Gong arched his hand and said, Xu Jie's goal of monopolizing power must not be allowed to be achieved.

"Lord Gao, the position of supervising the army is dispensable, and the princes of Chengguo have been loyal and good for several generations, and it is not appropriate to send people to supervise the army." Xu Jie immediately objected, he has always been very jealous of Gao Gong, compared to himself, the emperor trusts him more, if he can't suppress him, his position as the first assistant will have to be given to him sooner or later.

"Lord Xu, the ancestor of the law, I believe that the Chengguo Guild understands. Moreover, this time is also a good opportunity for military training, just to send more generals and officials to be tempered, and it is also good to come in handy when there are frequent battles. Gao Gong did not back down, and dismissed Xu Jie in two sentences.

"Hehe, Gao Aiqing is reasonable, this prison army must be dispatched, Shen Chongming is not on an errand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, he has served in the military department before, it is most suitable for him to go." Emperor Longqing, the low-ranking officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, knew about a Shen Chongming and immediately assigned this errand to him.

Gao Gong choked, he never thought that he would put his own students in order to fight for a breath. As Xu Jiefang said, the responsibility of this position of supervising the army is to monitor the commander-in-chief, and the characters who are hated very much in the army are usually infamous.

And this time it was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Shen Chongming's life would be sad. I really want to redeem it, but when I heard Emperor Longqing start to discuss other things, Gao Gong could only give up, worship his name, and ask for more blessings.
