Hearing that the emperor summoned him late at night, Yan Song was not surprised, over the years, His Majesty has become more and more divine, moody, and elusive, and now it is just a summon at the end of the night, and it is nothing at all.

He took the black gauze hat handed over by Xu Jie, slowly put it on his head, and took Zhang Jing's concerto, and was helped out by Chen Hong tremblingly.

There was a double-seated sedan car parked at the door, and Yan Song sat on it, the back of the chair only reached the waist, and it actually looked rather shabby - but 'allowing the forbidden garden to ride the waist' was already His Majesty's Longen. You must know that the rest of the officials, including Xu Jie, can only ride horses in and out of Xiyuan, and they are not qualified to sit in a sedan chair.

Xu Jie was sent to the door, until the sedan chair disappeared into the vast night, then he sighed meaninglessly, turned around and went back to the duty room to continue working.

A group of people silently walked through the corridor of the temple hung with red lanterns, under each lantern, there were brocade guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists and hips, and they wore flying fish suits, until they reached the gate of Yuxi Palace, and then they were replaced by eunuchs and Taoist priests.

The Yuxi Palace is the main hall of the West Garden, but the plaque of the temple eyebrow is engraved with the four handsome and powerful regular script characters of "Careful Body", and the lower left side of the plaque is also engraved with the five small characters of "Chen Yan Song Jingshu".

When they arrived at the front of the hall, the eunuch got off the sedan chair, Chen Hong helped the old man to get off the sedan chair, and then made a gesture to enter, and the two eunuchs guarding the door used their hands to make a secret effort, slowly lifting the heavy pineapple door in front of them, and then slowly moving in—the two doors were slowly moved away without making a sound.

Chen Hong went in to report, and after a while, he came out and said, "Elder Ge, please come in." After speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, you must speak leisurely." ”

Yan Song squinted and nodded, and after whispering his thanks, he walked over the high threshold and entered the hall with trembling steps with his support. The candles in the main hall are bright, the sandalwood is swirling, the statue of the three Qingdao Daojun is hung in the south, there is an altar to worship below, there is a three-legged bronze incense burner more than one person high opposite the altar, at this time the top of the furnace is hollowed out, and the pale white sandalwood is constantly pouring out outward...... This is where the sandalwood in the temple comes from.

Look at the whole hall, there is no dragon chair, just in front of the altar, in the middle of the main hall, there is a white jade round couch with a height of one foot and seven feet wide, and a thin brocade quilt is spread on the couch, and a big Taiji is embroidered on the quilt. On the ground of the outer circle of the Tai Chi round couch, there are also eight trigram purple gold bricks inlaid in accordance with the order of dry exchange and separation, Xunkan Genkun, which is the Tai Chi Bagua bed that Emperor Jiajing often practiced and meditated.

But at this time, the gossip bed was empty, and the Ming Supreme did not meditate here.

Chen Hong introduced Yan Song into the inner and outer rooms on the right side of the main hall, and looked through the thin veil, which seemed to be a large inner room.

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge is here." Chen Hong said humbly.

After a period of unbearable waiting, there was a clear jade chime sound from the veil.

Only then did Chen Hong dare to gently lift the veil and whisper to Yan Song: "Pavilion Elder, please come in." ”

Yan Song nodded, and walked in tremblingly with his whole clothes. As soon as he entered, he pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, kowtowed: "Weichen Yan Song knocks to see my emperor, long live." ”

"Get up, but in the middle." A slightly nasal middle-aged male voice sounded, and said with a lazy smile: "I called you here so late, it disturbed your dreams." "Only the middle is Yan Song's words, the emperor didn't call him by his name, but used his words to call him, it is really the only Longen in this dynasty.

Yan Song slowly got up at this time, and said with a smile: "The old minister is old, and he doesn't have a sense of staying overnight, so he just wants to be a companion to the saint." ”

At this time, a fat eunuch moved over a brocade pier and asked Yan Ge Lao to sit down, this is also His Majesty's Longen, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are only enjoyed by Yan Song.

After sitting down, Yan Song raised his head and saw a middle-aged man who was still wearing a thick blue cloth robe in June, with a thin figure and a clear face, was reclining on a bright yellow soft couch, and there was a jade purple gold bowl next to the couch, and a golden bowl was resting in the bowl. It seems that the sound of gold and jade is made by this thing.

This middle-aged man who doesn't know the cold and heat is the self-proclaimed 'Taishang Daluo Tianxian Ziji Immortal Sage Wisdom Zhao Lingtong Sanyuan Zheng Ying Yuxu General Charge Five Thunder Dazhen Xuandu Realm Wanshou Emperor', who is the current son of the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Empire, He is fifteen years old, Shao Ji Datong, the eleventh generation monarch of the Ming Empire, and the name of the year is 'Jiajing'.

It is fair to say that Emperor Jiajing is still very good-looking, with a fair face, good facial features, three long beards under his chin, and unusually long ears on both sides. It's just that the narrow eyes and slightly thin lips destroy the peace of the appearance and give people a difficult feeling to deal with. At this moment, Emperor Jiajing gently pressed his brows with his slender fingers, and said with worry on his face: "Weizhong, what if the five emperors don't come?" ”

If it is an ordinary person, he will be fainted by His Majesty the Emperor, but Yan Song is a powerful minister who has served the emperor for 20 years and knows the will of the emperor, so he naturally knows that these 'five emperors' do not refer to the emperor's fifth brother, nor are they the five virtuous emperors of the ancient Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xu, Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, and Yu Shun...... His Majesty does not believe in human emperors, and considers himself to be the wisest emperor of all time.

The five emperors enshrined by Emperor Jiajing are the five emperors in heaven - the central Yellow Emperor including the hub; Oriental Blue Emperor Lingwei; The Red Emperor of the South is angry; The White Emperor of the West refused; The Black Emperor of the North. This Daojun Emperor firmly believes that it is the Emperor of the Five Directions, whom he has been worshipping for decades, who has protected his country and society from external insults and internal disturbances, and will prosper forever; Protecting his weak little body from the wind and evil, he was able to prolong his life and live a long life.

Since entering June, Emperor Jiajing has lit lamps and incense in the Qingfu Palace, began to fast, pray for the blessings and disasters of the Ming Dynasty, and ask the gods to bless the early days of cleansing the Japanese and returning him a Qingping country.

Yan Song heard the emperor say that every time he was in the Jiao Festival, he would feel a strange fragrance filling the room, and all the dirty noises in the world would disappear without a trace, and his heart would be empty and clear. Then one of the Five Emperors will wander here, talk to him, and give him guidance.

However, this month, when fasting was not able to settle, the emperor's heart was full of noisy sounds, and he couldn't communicate with the five emperors at all, and tried for more than half a month, saying that it was all the same, which made Emperor Jiajing have a kind of resentment of being left out and abandoned, only to hear him sigh and say: "Tao Zhenren watched the sky at night, and said that he saw that the star was about a foot long, and he went up to the southeast, swept Ziweiyuan, and committed the Northern Emperor Heavenly Palace, I'm afraid this is the reason why the five emperors didn't come." As he spoke, he raised his head and stared at Yan Song faintly, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he said slowly: "Weizhong, what do you say this celestial phenomenon represents?" ”

Yan Songxin said, 'What else? Isn't it just a wolf? But with a frightened look on his face, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and pleaded: "It is really a great sin for the incompetence of the ministers to make the emperor and the monarch and father troubled, please your majesty to condemn the micro-ministers to eliminate the anger of the emperor of heaven......"

Being cried like this by him, Emperor Jiajing couldn't bear it anymore, waved his hand and said: "Huang Jin, quickly help the pavilion to get old, he is seventy or eighty years old, and he can't cry at every turn." ”

While being helped up by the fat eunuch named Huang Jin, Yan Song also whimpered and cried: "Seeing that the monarch's father is worried, the guilty minister's heart is as if he has been cut by a knife!" ”

Jiajing took out a white silk handkerchief from his sleeve, threw it in front of him, and scolded with a smile: "You are endless, you want to laugh every time you cry." ”

"Your Majesty......" Old Yan Song said aggrievedly: "The criminal minister is sincere......"

"Alright, alright." Jiajing fiddled with his jade bowl and jade pestle casually, and his eyebrows stretched slightly: "You old thing must know that the celestial phenomenon should be the southeast woe." As he spoke, he sighed and said, "What do you say is wrong with this world?" How could a small island country far away from the sea be so rampant that it could run rampant in my majesty? ”

As he spoke, the emperor's anger rose again, and he knocked on the golden bowl hard, making a buzzing echo, only to hear the emperor say in annoyance: "Is it me without virtue?" Is it the corruption of hundreds of officials? Is the general incompetent? Or are the eggs of my Ming boy castrated like Huang Jin? ”

The fat eunuch Huang Jin said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, although the slave maid has no eggs, she still has a blood surname, as long as you give an order, the slave and maid will immediately carry the three-foot Qingfeng and go to pacify those hateful widows for you." ”

"Do you hear that?" The emperor knocked on the golden bowl vigorously, glared at Yan Song with his eyes like lightning, and said, "Why is my civil and military officials not as good as even a eunuch!" ”

Yan Song had no choice but to kneel down again and plead guilty.

Jiajing threw the golden pestle back into the bowl and snorted, "Where is the funeral letter in your hand?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the battle report of Zhang Jing, the governor of Zhejiang." Yan Song offered the Tao with both hands.

Huang Jin was about to go over to pick it up, but was stopped by the emperor and said: "You don't need to show me, this Zhang Jing is too disrespectful, it has become Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds before reporting to me, if you point to his report to understand the market, I would have been blind." ”

Yan Song was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It seems that Lu Bing is also staring at Jiangnan." Then he said respectfully: "Zhang Banzhou also has his difficulties, Your Majesty should take a look, after all, he is the person in charge, and he knows many things best." ”

"I don't want to hear bad news today!" Jiajing waved his sleeves and said, "It's bad news all day long, isn't there a piece of good news?" ”

"Yes." Yan Song said very calmly: "Shaoxing victory, Your Majesty!" ”
