Emperor Jiajing in the imperial court did not have Jiang Feng's comfortable and happy feeling in Huazhou, and he was now completely immersed in Taoist magic.

The dismissal of the three border towns was completely terminated after the sudden death of Sima Tai, the head of the household department, at home, and the ministers of the six ministries of the cabinet were a little frightened, thinking that this was either the emperor's method, or the backlash provoked by the border army when they heard the news of the dismissal. Therefore, it has been silent for a while, but Jiajing's forces are still weak, and it is easy to judge that it did not take too long, and the situation in the DPRK and China is still the same, but no one has mentioned the topic of retrenchment.

When Emperor Jiajing was still dedicating the palace, he had his own judgment on what Emperor Zhengde did, the monopoly of Liu Jin and the Eight Tigers, and the rebellion of Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, the military attachés and close ministers, were all profound lessons. The literati also said the same, saying that it was because of the eunuchs and warriors who were close to Emperor Zhengde that the people of the world were miserable.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, although the people who opposed him were all civil officials, from the beginning of the Great Rite Case, to the later court dress case, and the saint case, it was the civil and cultural officials who rebelled there, and even the government decrees and national policies could not be implemented at all because of the arguments, and in the end, it was with the support of the eunuchs and military attachés that the struggle was won.

However, he still has his own ideas, Emperor Jiajing is a little wary of Huang Jin and Lu Bing, who are the most cronies, although he gives these two people a lot of fat and is very tolerant of them, but there is nothing important to be mastered by these people, but he has always opposed his cabinet six ministries, the emperor has always been very trusting, and even before the 'land prosecution case' happened, he basically did not reject the resolution of the six cabinet departments.

When he found out that he was blocked by people and could not smoothly issue his will, Emperor Jiajing was immediately frightened and wary, and found the forces and people close to him in the fastest time, and transferred troops into Beijing. As a result, Huang Jin was beheaded, and Lu Bing was placed under house arrest. Eunuchs and internal guard military attachés no longer have the ability to participate in political affairs.

This time, whether it is the civil and military officials or the literati in the world, they are all vigorously praising the emperor's reform of maladministration, but he is the king of benevolence and righteousness through the ages, although the Jiajing Emperor is very deep in the city, but at that time it was a little fluttering, and he also thought about it in private, the Ming Dynasty has been established for so many years, and the emperors in front of him have a few more mature minds than themselves, why did these people not remove the eunuchs and internal security military attachés?

The answer was quickly obtained, after the power of the civil officials lost their restraints, they quickly swelled, and the political affairs of the world were controlled by them, although it was very good, what to say on behalf of the herdsmen of heaven, let the Son of Heaven be a prince of the arch, just decide.

In fact, the emperor was so relaxed that he didn't even need to make a decision, the civil officials did everything, and now there is no one to hinder the emperor's hearing and hearing, but Jiajing also knows in his heart that what he sees and hears is what the civil official group asks him to hear and see. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that one of the palace guards saw some great changes after returning to his hometown and came back to talk to Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing wouldn't even have found out that he had been blinded.

If it is the kind of emperor who is indulged in pleasure and unwilling to work, he doesn't care about the situation in front of him, but he is idle and less worried, but for an emperor like Emperor Jiajing, who has a strong desire for control and power, the current situation is too painful.

Emperor Jiajing didn't want to spend too much time in the morning court every day, just showed up once, and then hurriedly returned to the palace, alchemy and chanting, do some Taoist rituals, in the Zhengde years, the princes and ministers in Beijing, like to enshrine Taoism.

Although it is said that Emperor Jiajing's good Taoism has made the civil and military officials' hobby extensive, in fact, there are other considerations in this, and there are many rebellions in the White Lotus Sect and Maitreya Sect in recent years, all of which are in the name of the Buddha, and if anyone believes in the Buddha and is accused of colluding with the cult by his political enemies, it will not be good.

Taoism does not need so many taboos, itself is to pay attention to quiet and inaction, in the eyes of the emperors of previous dynasties, this is the orthodoxy of China, the ministers need to believe in close to Taoism, and those who do not believe in religion are using Taoist priests and emperors to build bridges for fun. The ministers are all waving their flags and shouting for the people and interest groups they represent in the court, but in terms of faith, Taoist priests are the objects of support, and their opinions are very unanimous.

Therefore, whether it is the ministers of the north and the south or the east and west, there are always some Taoist priests in the family, which is already a fashionable and fashionable thing, and Emperor Jiajing likes Taoism, so he often invites these Taoist priests into the palace to exchange some Taoist and alchemy experiences.

Everyone is accustomed to this act of the emperor, and if someone's worship is invited into the palace, the family often feels quite honored.

The hobby of Taoism is one thing, the officials of the six cabinets are still there for the different interest groups they represent, and they have never stopped attacking and debating each other, after the 'land inspection case', whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, their intelligence and surveillance functions have been greatly weakened, and the original factory guards are the eyes and ears of the emperor, and now they can't play the slightest role.

The emperor's source of intelligence has been completely cut off, however, there is also a problem here, although Dongchang and Jinyiwei are nominally under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Emperor, they also sit on the intelligence agency detective and spy work, not only the emperor enjoys the intelligence of the factory guard.

The role of the factory guards has been greatly weakened, and in fact, the civilian officials have a lot fewer ways to obtain information, although they also have some Jinyi Wei and Dongchang personnel, but the utility of these private individuals is, of course, not as good as the integration and efficiency of the official institutions, and there are many things that they do not know.

For example, when the emperor summoned those Taoist priests into the palace, they were worshiped by the Taoist chiefs in the palaces of various officials, and if these Taoist priests preached Taoism and classics, alchemy and other experiences to the emperor, so that Emperor Jiajing was happy, they would have gold and silver rewards and Taoist titles.

But no one noticed whether some Taoist priests were carrying things with them when they left the palace, especially those who were born in Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan-Guizhou.

Officials from various provinces in the southwest of Sichuan and Shaanxi do not have too high a status in the various yamen, and the southwest of Sichuan and Shaanxi is naturally not as good as Jiangnan, which has produced many literati since ancient times, nor is it as good as the north, which has many relatives and nobles, and has no relationship or background in the DPRK and China, so they will not achieve too big an official position.

The cultivated manors that now use serf labor, the booming industry and commerce, and the sea trade that is making money every day all have their own spokesmen in the court, whether it is the cotton gentry in the north or the industrial and commercial owners in the south, these people are very willing to spend money for the policies introduced by the central court center to benefit them.

Relatively speaking, Shaanxi except for Xi'an, Sichuan in addition to Chengdu, there is really no industrially developed city, because the local is not suitable for planting cotton and other cash crops, so their economic structure has not changed much, the coastal area has gradually become rich, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Yunnan have not made any cheap on this, but because of the impact of cheap grain in Nanyang and Guanwai, the annual income has shrunk a lot whether it is landlords or farmers, not to mention, The handicraft workshops along the coast had a devastating impact on the small workshops in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

Moreover, because of the lack of manpower in the coastal provinces, the need for serfs in the cotton gentry of the three northern provinces, and the continuous outflow of labor from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, the landlords and gentry of the four provinces, the pillar industry of the economy is agriculture, and farming is relying on manpower, and people are constantly migrating to the coast, and the manpower for farming is gradually decreasing, which directly leads to a decrease in income.

Therefore, in the court, every time they shout that the law of the ancestors cannot be abandoned, at this time, the legal system of the saints in the world collapses, and in the long run, it will endanger the society and the future, all of them are officials from Sichuan, Shaanxi and Yungui, and these people are extremely angry with the cabinet scholars and the six scholars who control the government.

The income of these officials is far less generous than that of other factions, and they could not afford to raise any Taoist priests to worship, but many people have been secretly dialed, saying that there is a Taoist priest in the house, which will be of great benefit.

When the emperor was still the king of Xingxian, the land of Jingchu where he was located was the most prosperous area of Taoism, and the pious envelope of the Jiajing Emperor himself also began at that time, and the Xingxian palace at that time had a deep relationship with many nearby Taoist temples.

When King Xingxian became Emperor Jiajing, many Taoist temples came to the capital to walk on the route of the upper echelons, and these monks who could walk in the palace of high-ranking officials and eunuchs were particularly convenient to pass on certain things, and they were not easy to be discovered. Jiajing has been doing it carefully, organizing those officials who are dissatisfied with the ministers who maintain the government, and the officials of the six cabinet ministries feel that the world is already in their hands, and they are already careless.

In the winter of the twentieth year of Jiajing, Jiang Feng received an urgent report from the Ming Jingshi: the Ming Emperor returned to power......

The following does not count towards the word count

I rarely say anything to you, but I will say a little bit today.

In the past month, my state has been a mess, recently a friend came from Qingdao, delayed taking medicine, and the cold has not been good to this day, it has been ten days. 4.30-5.3 I update one chapter a day, ready to take a break

I want to think about the next plot direction, the next few days, give yourself time to go out for a walk, relax your mind, write something wonderful, and better return everyone, since September last year, it has been on the shelves, and now, except for the Spring Festival, every day is two chapters that can't be shaken, and it's really in a hurry, and it's grassy. This is also what I will pay attention to in my next book.

What I want to express is that after a person arrives in that era, he acts as a catalyst to change the whole society, not only to change the dynasty, but everything to change with it, and everything in this world will change and interact because of a person who does not belong to this time. This is a butterfly stirring its wings in the Americas, but the wind is blowing in Europe. I did my best to describe.

Many book friends and authors have given me a lot of opinions, for which I am extremely grateful, thank you.

From "Shaolin Warrior Monk in the Other World" to "Evil Ming", I feel that I am still improving, and I am still improving in some aspects, which is all with your help. Hopefully, in my next book, there will be even greater improvements. (^_^ It's too early for the book to end)

Although this is not a testimonial, I still want to thank a few friends:

The author of "The Vermilion Bird" and "Celebrating More Than Years" has given me tremendous support, guidance and encouragement, including my text, including my plot, and continues to inspire me.

Duncan's editors have taken the trouble to play the role of Cihai for me in all aspects of historical materials and weapons materials, which is really troublesome to him.

And my team leader, An Yi and Bamboo, I also want to say thank you to you.

Thank you to all the readers who supported me and subscribed to my work

In the future, I will try to write better and repay everyone's support.

I hope you all have a good time on May Day, and when you come back from the holiday, I hope my text will make you more happy, thank you.
