In December 1566, in the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, a new emperor enthronement ceremony was held, King Yu ascended the throne, changed the year name to Longqing, and 1566 was the first year of Longqing.

After the enthronement ceremony, the ministers retired from the court one after another, and when they arrived at the outer court, people began to talk in twos and threes.

At this time, many people were watching a young courtier who did not speak well.

This person was about twenty years old, wearing a five-grade brocade suit and a flying fish suit, and his expression was slightly uncomfortable, and these people could see that this young courtier should be on the Hajj for the first time.

"Who is this person, so good-looking."

"Yes, when did the officials of the Jinyi Guard start to officially meet with them?"

"You don't know, this person is Zhang Taiyue's staff, or the imperial doctor, I heard that he was specially picked up from Nanjing in order to treat Emperor Daxing, but unfortunately he came late."

"Oh, that's him."

These courtiers all understood that when Emperor Daxing, that is, Emperor Jiajing, was critically ill, he did send an order to pick up a divine doctor from Nanjing to renew the life of Emperor Daxing, but then there was no news, and the grapevine said that this divine doctor was attacked repeatedly on the road and almost died on the way, so when he came to the capital, Emperor Daxing had died.

Many people knew about it, but they didn't dare to say it openly, because in their words, the water here was too deep to drown the dragon.

Besides, standing among the many courtiers, his expression was a little nervous, but he didn't look around, he was waiting for Zhang Juzheng to come out and go back together.

Since he is someone else's staff, of course, he must be in step with Zhang Juzheng.

Touching his own outfit, he didn't expect that he would become a member of the Jinyi Guard overnight, which was a very legendary team in the Ming Dynasty and also hated by later generations.

But in fact, he is not an official member of Jinyiwei, but only a member of it.

Jilu is a special project of the Ming Dynasty, that is, because of the limited establishment, people who are not good at arranging official positions will be arranged into the Jinyi Guard, because the Jinyi Guard belongs to the emperor's private guard, there is no limit on the establishment, and the Yulu is withdrawn in the Jinyi Guard. The most convenient place is to arrange personnel to enter the Jinyi Guard, so that you don't have to worry about the impeachment of the officials without going through the official department.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the officials had to play a big bullet if they had something to do, a small bullet if they had nothing to do, a bullet if they were in a panic, and a sense of existence if they had nothing to do.

After Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyi Wei has little authority, and the people who often do evil are generally the East Factory, the West Factory and the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, which is the edict under the jurisdiction of the emperor himself, and these three are called the three evils of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the power of Jinyiwei is not as powerful as in the past, this set of flying fish clothes is the most beautiful, much more beautiful than the supplementary clothes of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

The eunuchs who are powerful in the inner court also like the flying fish suit, and the more advanced one is the python suit, which is somewhat similar to the dragon robe, and generally only the eunuchs of the twelve eunuchs can be given by the emperor. The prince and the marquis generally have python clothes.

Moreover, although the grade is not high, this flying fish suit is very conspicuous. This outfit is dressed beautifully and decently, and it looks especially masculine and handsome when he wears it, so so many courtiers pay attention to him, otherwise a five-grade official is at the bottom of the court, similar to the general imperial history.

Moreover, this is the first time to participate in the court meeting, and he is also a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere, he does not understand why the emperor gave him the right to participate in the court meeting and the official audience, for him, this is obviously unnecessary.

He now has two signs hanging around his waist, one is the brand of the brocade guard who proves his identity, and the other is the sign in the palace, which means that he can enter the inner court at any time, which is a privilege that the ministers of the outer court do not have.

He has now been listed as the emperor's imperial doctor, but unfortunately he has not seen the emperor himself until now, and the emperor has not asked him to check his pulse. So he still regarded himself as Zhang Juzheng's staff.

"You're a state of Yunming, aren't you?" Suddenly, an old man from Yipin came over and asked with a smile.

Besides, I recognized that this person was the first assistant Xu Jie.

"Guo Yunming has seen adults." Besides, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

After he came to Beijing, the first thing Zhang Juzheng did was to ask him for his character and began to call him by his character, and then everyone began to call him by his character instead of by his name.

This is normal, generally speaking, it is a person's character, and only in formal occasions such as between superiors and subordinates, or in official documents, is called by name.

Besides, when he came to Beijing and wanted to appear with a new face, he showed his own words, Yunming. It's a pity that he can't restore his surname yet, it's Zhu Yunming.

"I've heard a lot about you, and you're still a student of my disciple." Xu Jie said with a smile.

Besides, he nodded respectfully, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He is indeed a disciple of Lian Daning, and Lian Daning is Xu Jie's protégé, so Xu Jie is his ancestor.

"Master Xu, you are relying on the old and selling the old, but Yun Ming is a brother and brother to my disciple."

A group of people came over from the side, more than forty years ahead of them, with a lofty spirit, with a flying momentum on their faces, and there were many more people behind them than Xu Jie.

This person is none other than the first powerful person in the new dynasty, the cabinet scholar Gao Gong.

"Tall, sir." Besides, he bowed his hand again.

"Yunming, don't be polite, we are not outsiders. My disciple Wei Gao has always praised you. Let's go, Taiyue is behind, go out and wait for him. ”

After Gao Gong finished speaking, he pulled the situation and left, ignoring Xu Jie, who was still the first assistant.

Xu Jie was not angry, but his expression was a little lonely.

The people around looked at Lord Shoufu, and felt sad for him in their hearts, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it seems that the days of Shoufu's reign are numbered, otherwise Gao Gong would not be so arrogant.

Xu Jie's expression was calm, he didn't feel angry at all, and he also walked outward.

"Already angry characters, don't pay attention to him, what else will you do except rely on the old and sell the old." Gao Gong pulled and said as he walked.

Besides, with a wry smile, he didn't dare to say this.

He still respects Xu Jie very much, not only because of the teacher-teacher relationship, but also because of the edict of Emperor Jiajing and the edict of the new emperor's enthronement, especially the edict of the new emperor's enthronement, which eliminates the shortcomings of the Jiajing period, which is really called stable and ruthless, it can be seen that Xu Jie's shortcomings in the Jiajing period are still clear.

This does not mean how bad the Jiajing period was, a dynasty for a long time, there will inevitably be all kinds of shortcomings, which cannot be avoided, just like a house for a long time, there will always be all kinds of garbage, many inconspicuous places will also have dust and even cobwebs, a dynasty has too many places to accumulate evils.

As soon as the edict of enthronement came out, the world praised it, and the first year of Longqing must be the beginning of the renewal of Vientiane, whether it heralds the coming of the prosperous era, it is still uncertain.

Besides, being pulled by Gao Gong, he became more and more uncomfortable, and now the relationship between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng is a little tense, he is Zhang Juzheng's staff, and Gao Gong is too close, will Zhang Juzheng be too careful?

At this time, the crowd suddenly stirred, Gao Gong put down his hand, looked back, but saw a person striding out, but his expression was very serious.

Besides, after watching it, I was a little excited in my heart, this figure who caused a sensation among the courtiers was Hai Rui.

When Emperor Jiajing was critically ill, Hai Rui had been imprisoned on death row in the Criminal Department, and Xu Jie and others were always looking for opportunities to rescue him, but Emperor Jiajing's death really saved him.

It is said that on the day of Emperor Jiajing's death, a jailer came to Hai Rui's prison with wine and meat to congratulate him.

Hai Jui thought he was about to be executed, because it was customary to congratulate the condemned prisoners and give them a sumptuous meal of severed heads.

He drank all the wine and ate all the beef, and was ready to be generous, but the jailer smiled and said to him, "The emperor has died, and the adults will soon be free."

When Hai Rui heard that the emperor had died, he cried bitterly, was so hurt that he vomited all the wine and meat, and in a fit of anger, he vomited blood and almost died.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not blame him for making Emperor Daxing angry to death, but restored his official position to show the emperor's generosity and benevolence. At this court meeting, he was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan to press the imperial history, which was a step to the sky.

Gao Gong and the others all smiled and talked to Hai Rui, Hai Rui was able to restore his official position and become an upstart, Gao Gong also contributed, of course, there are also Xu Jie's and Zhang Juzheng's merits, especially Xu Jie, who has a life-saving grace for Hai Rui.

Hai Rui saw Gao Gong and the others, his face softened, nodded and rushed straight over.

Gao Gong smiled, spread his hands and said to the people around him: "Hai Gangfeng's temper has not changed. ”

At this time, Zhang Juzheng came out, said a few words affectionately to Gao Gong, and then walked out with him.

"Yunming, the family has settled down, why hasn't the family picked it up?" Zhang Juzheng asked with concern as he walked.

"Thank you, adults, they have basically settled down, and the children in the family are small, so I am not ready to take them over for the time being." Besides.

"Oh, I forgot, you now have three children, no, two, one for Brother Musa." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

Moreover, he was impressed by Zhang Juzheng's memory, as long as he heard it once, he would never forget it. The key is not here, Zhang Juzheng has too many things to care about every day, and they are all state affairs, but he can keep in mind a small family matter of others, which may be the unique ability of these big people.

After he came to Beijing, he bought a house near Zhang Juzheng's residence.

Although Beijing is said to be an inch of land, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still buy a good house, he happens to be the master who is not short of money, and spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a set of three-entry courtyards.

It's just that there are too few people in the family, only him, Zhou Dingcheng, and Xiao Nier have three people, so they had to buy two more Yahuan, a few servants, a carriage, and a coachman.

"Thank you for your concern, and I want to ask you to name the dog." Besides, he laughed.

"Name? When it comes to academics, I'm not as good as Brother Musa, and I'm not as good as you in essays, so I won't be ugly about this kind of thing. Zhang Juzheng said, got into the carriage with him, and went back to his residence.
