(The next chapter is a very crucial plot point.) ）

"How so?" The Ministry of Works' Shangshu Pan Jitao was furious, the gray beard and eyebrows of the old man who was already over seventy years old were shaking, and he turned to Lin Jingyi and said angrily: "Lord Lin's words are simply a ridiculous mess!" Since ancient times, the queen has a son, just in the prime of life, the body is healthy, and the government and the opposition are known as virtuous names, why do you need any prince to listen to politics? It's ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Although he is not a cabinet minister, but in terms of qualifications, it is second only to Yang Shen, the second most important minister present, and he has devoted his life to the governance of the Yellow River, great merit, thousands of miles on both sides of the Yellow River, the people do not worship the dragon king and build a shrine for Pan Jitao, day and night worship, incense is prosperous, it can be said that it is a character who is a god in the flesh, with such merits, Yang Shen is incomparable, and it is the first in the Ming Dynasty! It can be said that it is more than enough to enter the cabinet, in fact, he has also had several opportunities to enter the cabinet, but this old man has been addicted to work all his life, and he really can't raise the slightest interest in entering the cabinet to handle so much food, so he refused.

Therefore, Pan Jitao reprimanded Lin Jingyi, who was one level higher than him, but Lin Jingyi had to smile bitterly, and said again and again: "Master Pan, it's just your own words. ”

Zhengde and Liu Guifei's faces were a little gloomy.

Pan Jitao's few words that were not targeted, but they inadvertently poked at the root cause of Zhengde's reluctance to establish a prince.

Zhengde also wanted to establish a prince, but as soon as this stubble was mentioned, the first suggestion of the ministers was to establish a prince, and invite the son of Queen Lixia, who is both the son of the concubine and the eldest son, Zhu Zaiyuan, the king of Yong.

But on the contrary, because of Queen Xia, Zhengde dislikes this son very much, and of course he can't say that he dislikes it. However, when he tried to set up another prince several times, he was met with extremely strong opposition from his ministers. Therefore, he also disliked this son, he was such a strong emperor as Zhengde, and these ministers fought with the court staff and were dismissed. was dismissed, imprisoned, and kicked out of the capital, but he did not back down at all!

Because these are what they value, what they insist on, fundamental!

The eldest and youngest are humble. This is the so-called monarch and minister, father and son! Zhengde is in the middle of it, enjoying the supreme power brought to him by this established order, the allegiance of the whole world, but he does not want to abide by this order, I have to say, sometimes, he is actually very unintelligent.

had to be shelved.

Originally, the prince listened to this suggestion. Zhengde didn't like it very much, but when the other side was the worse suggestion of making Zhu Zaiyuan the crown prince, he suddenly favored Lin Jingyi.

To Pan Jitao. He wasn't so polite, and he was really angry at this time, so he sneered and reprimanded: "Establish a long, a long, and finally like Emperor Jin Hui, can't you make a fool?" At that time, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings will really not be spared! Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestor, which is the eldest son? ”

This is a very serious statement, and it sounds reasonable. But it was quite a bit of a suspicion of being unreasonable, Pan Ji was trembling all over his body, he was also old and strong, and retorted without showing weakness: "Saint, this is wrong, then Emperor Jin Hui is a fool." is the laughing stock of the world, naturally it can't be canonized, but King Yong is not a fool! How can it be compared? ”

Zhengde didn't want to debate with them anymore, of course, in fact, he was poor in reasoning, and he couldn't argue with these Confucian scholars, so he waved his hand: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind!" Ma Yongcheng! ”

"The slave is here!" Ma Yongcheng hurriedly responded and straightened his back.

The confrontation between the monarchs and ministers made them dizzy and frightened. Eunuchs and foreign ministers, in the Ming Dynasty power model is completely different, such as Wang Zhi, Liu Jin these eunuchs, can rely on the emperor's power to the six Shangshu, the cabinet elders are all driven as lackeys, can casually put an official in prison or even to death, but they dare not contradict the emperor a word, the emperor a word, they will die, because they are the emperor's domestic slaves, all their power comes from the emperor. And the foreign ministers are just the opposite, even if it is a small matter, the imperial history, can go to the book to scold the emperor, but the emperor may not dare to do anything to them, as long as he does not want to be scolded to death by the world. …,

A strange cycle.

Zhengde said in a deep voice: "Intention! ”

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly got up, walked to the small long table of red sandalwood and sat down, Lin Xiongqi on the side hurriedly sharpened the ink, Ma Yongcheng caught a wolf, only listened to Zhengde muttered for a moment, and said: "Spread the decree, tomorrow morning the court will be suspended, tomorrow morning, six Shangshu, three scholars, Jinyi Wei commanded Jiang Bin, all the dukes and marquis in the capital, enter the palace as one, and discuss the prince's listening to the government!" Chin this! ”

Ma Yongcheng splashed ink and quickly wrote, Emperor Zhengde was afraid that Yang Shen, Pan Jitao and others would make any more moves, so he ordered: "Let's pass the decree!" ”

Ma Yongcheng answered, walked out of the palace, and soon came to the celebrant supervisor, copied dozens of copies, and went to their respective princes' mansions to upload the decree.

Emperor Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ma Yongcheng go out, glanced at Yang Shen with a little disgust, and said indifferently: "Yang Aiqing, it's not early, go back!" Liu Jixiang, escorting Lord Yang home with the royal horse supervising the carriage and horse! ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Liu Jixiang hurriedly responded.

During the whole process, Yang Shen knelt on the ground and didn't say a word. It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but from the moment Lin Jingyi made that suggestion, he knew that everything was doomed and irretrievable!

Emperor Zhengde's character, he couldn't understand it better.

Therefore, in this battle, I have already lost it, and I put it in the hands of my colleagues and subordinates!

Rather than continue to fight and provoke the emperor's anger, it is better to take a step back and think about what to do next.

Hearing Zhengde's order, he said calmly: "Minister, obey the order!" ”

After that, he stood up and looked as usual, as if he had just told him about an inconsequential trivial matter, rather than having an extremely fierce dispute with Emperor Zhengde!

This kind of bearing, Zhengde also has to admire, but at this moment, he is angry when he sees it.

Yang Shen arched his hand: "Weichen farewell!" ”

Zhengde didn't want to say anything, waved his hand, and talked to Liu Guifei.

Yang Shen turned his head and looked at Lin Jingyi lightly, he neither spoke nor moved. Just looking at it like this, Lin Jingyi felt that his sharp eyes were like knives and cones, as if he had cut his whole person apart. His own mind, under his gaze, turned out to be nowhere to hide.

He had to laugh and quickly avoided his gaze.

Yang Shen didn't expect that he would be spoiled by such a person!

Lin Jingyi is seventy-four years old this year, and the old man looks very extraordinary, but he is too short and too thin. The small body is shriveled and shriveled, and it seems that he can't even hold up the court clothes, so that there is a lot less official authority.

His qualifications are very old, but he is a Jinshi in the early years of Zhengde, and his ranking is not high, at the end of the second class, eighty-eighth. It's very auspicious, and I almost fell into the top three Tongjinshi. After being a lieutenant, he has been an official in Beijing. started from such an inconspicuous low-grade petty official, but he climbed up step by step, although the speed was not very fast, but after all, he was constantly promoted.

Speaking of which, his experience is also very legendary, the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, the officials and the soldiers, the rich, the mighty, the poor, he has stayed all of them! Even when he was forty-six years old in Zhengde, he was already nearly seventy years old. I also served as a Dali Temple for a year! It's the number one at the ministry level.

He was able to enter the cabinet, or Yang Shen's credit.

When Yang Shen was appointed as the first assistant of the cabinet, after taking charge of the Ming Dynasty, he was very busy alone, but the other two scholars and cabinet assistants did not do anything, and Yang Shen took a fancy to Lin Jingyi's rich experience. He was so old that he recommended him to the emperor.

After Lin Jingyi entered the cabinet, he was really as Yang Shen expected and hoped, he was conscientious, very dedicated, loyal, and not tricky, and he was a low-level person, with a shallow foundation, and he had little to do with the court, and he didn't see him forming a gang, Yang Shen was very satisfied. …,

But I didn't expect that he would be so calculated today!

Yang Shen didn't know why Lin Jingyi did this, he seemed to be able to see it, but there was always a layer of fog, and it was foggy and he couldn't see it clearly.

It's just that he knows that Lin Jingyi must be on someone's side! Otherwise, it would have been impossible to do such a move, and as far as it seems now, such a move can be said to be of no benefit to him!

So, why is that?

Yang Shen's eyes flashed, could it be that Lin Jingyi had already taken refuge in a certain prince?

In fact, Yang Shen's guess was not bad at all, and if he could see the eyes that Liu Guifei gave to Lin Jingyi that only the two of them could see and understand, he would understand everything.

Lin Jingyi took refuge in no one else, it was Zhu Zaiyu, the son of Liu Guifei.

Zhu Zaiyu is Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he is in the prime of life, which is the golden age when a man has the most experience and rich experience. Because of Liu Guifei's favor, love for the house and Wu, so for this son, Zhengde is also extremely favorable, Zhu Zaiyu was still in infancy, he was already named King Fu.

From this title, it can be seen that the emperor's liking for this son is no longer like the feelings of the emperor's family, but more like a folk father and son.

According to the usual practice, in addition to the crown prince, the other princes should be out of the palace at the age of sixteen, Zhengde this generation of princes is many, and unlike the previous dynasty, there has always been no prince, many princes have been crowned kings, but they do not have to leave Beijing, they stay in the capital, but at this age, how should they go out of the palace and live in another palace. At the beginning, the emperor and Liu Guifei really felt sorry for their son, and it dragged on for three years, and I don't know how many ministers advised him in the past three years, and when he was nineteen years old, he finally couldn't drag it anymore, so he had to let him out of the palace.

Emperor Zhengde levied tens of thousands of laborers, and the palace built for this son is the crown of the palaces of the capital, and its magnificence is close to the Forbidden City!

At that time, everyone called the Fuwang Mansion the Little Forbidden City.

Even now, the emperor and Concubine Liu often miss their son, and from time to time they invite King Fu into the palace to eat and talk. If not every day, at least every other day.

This grace is unique!

Now that the emperor has been crowned king, out of the palace, there are no less than 20 princes in the palace, and a large part of them are not very favored, and it is usually difficult to even see the emperor, let alone meet every day.

And the blessed king Zhu Zaiyu is also quite competitive, Xu is because of Liu Guifei's background, she is very fond of her son, but she is not doting. Give him plenty of affection and warmth, but he is not used to his arbitrary behavior. With such a mother's teaching, King Fu is a very good person when he grows up. Treat people kindly, there is no arrogance, and as for the cruelty, indifference, and bad habits of those gentlemen, such as not treating their subordinates as human beings, there is no such evil.

Of course, this Fu Wang also has his own hobbies, unlike other noble sons who shoot horses and hunt dogs, his hobbies are very unique - music and mathematics.

From when he was very young. Liu Guifei and the emperor were looking for teachers for him, teaching coursework, needless to say, the subset of classics and history was the best bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to explain, and even Yang Shen was a lecturer of King Fu for a while. This prince is quite proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, Buddhism, and Taoism, but he likes music and rhythm the most, followed by mathematics, and is only ten years old. Zhu Zaiyu studied historical books such as "Shangshu Pangeng".

When he was fifteen years old, Zhu Zaiyu wrote "Se Pu", and he was twenty-one years old. At the age of 24, he completed the book "The Harmony of the Legal Calendar" and became famous in Beijing, and at the age of 24, he completed the "New Theory of Law". …,

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, none of the clans, descendants of the Zhu family, has such a rich book and such a bright talent as Zhu Zaiyu. Both the government and the opposition know that King Fu is not only a prince, but also a great talent.

These princes and princes in the capital. If it comes to fame, Zhu Zaiyu deserves to be the first, pulling the other mediocre brothers down to the distance.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhengde loves him so much, his own children are angry, of course, he has to love him more.

Zhengde has repeatedly wanted to be the crown prince, not the eldest son Yongwang. It's this blessed king!

Liu Guifei also knew this thought, of course, she couldn't ask for it, and when she saw that Emperor Zhengde was defeated in several big battles with his ministers because he wanted to make King Fu the crown prince, she also understood a truth - if there is no special chance, her son will have no chance with the throne in this life!

Even if King Yong is a straw bag, and King Fu is famous.

Compared with talent, the ministers pay more attention to legal principles and traditions.

After realizing this, Liu Guifei began to look for allies among the civil servants for her son, although Jiang Bin served her as a mother, but she also knew that in this matter, the military attache could not intervene, and the civil official nodded.

finally found Lin Jingyi.

and Lin Jingyi can be said to hit it off, Lin Jingyi seems to be low-key, but she is forbearing, who has no ambition in her heart?

He also took a fancy to King Fu's potential, so he secretly took refuge in King Fu.

The idea of the prince listening to the government was thought up by Liu Liangnu, and Lin Jingyi proposed it at the right time, but she didn't expect that this time, Yang Shen created an excellent opportunity!

Yang Shen retracted his gaze and slowly walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion and the Qianqing Palace, and all the important ministers also walked out after him.

Outside the hall, there was still torrential rain, and it was pitch black between the heavens and the earth, and occasional lightning tore the night sky, which made people feel depressed.

At this time, outside the gate of Longzong, the car of the imperial horse supervisor has been prepared, everyone walked to the door of Longzong in the rain, but only Yang Shen had such a chance encounter, the emperor sent a car to send off, this grace is Yang Shen has not received a few times, but at this time there is no joy in the heart, boarding the car in the rain, Yang Shen stood on the wheel, looking back at the Qianqing Palace, only to see the lights in the distance, the palace maids, eunuchs in and out, can not help but sigh.

———————— dividing line——————

It was also on this stormy night.

This is the north of Beijing, north of Beijing, south of Yanshan, west to Juyongguan, east to Jizhen this area, is a vast prairie, in the middle is also dense forest, the sea is numerous, has spread to the foot of Yanshan, this piece of land with a radius of more than 100 miles is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are quiet and beautiful, it is a great scenic spot in the north. Although it has not been encircled, it is already an actual royal garden, the emperor hunts, travels, often here, and in recent years, the great court hall built by the great construction of the earth, is at the foot of Yanshan in the north of this place.

It was forbidden for the common people to cultivate and cultivate here, and there were no unsightly magnates who came to occupy the land here.

The wind and rain were heavy, and the sky and the earth were pitch black, and only lightning occasionally tore through the sky, revealing the silhouette of the tall mountains in the distance.

This place is already close to Yanshan, and it should have been few people, but in the dark night, there is a little shadow of light.

If you look closely, you will find that this is actually a camp, and the perimeter is surrounded by a wooden fence to prevent both people and those fleeing beasts, and the wooden fence encloses a vacant land within a radius of forty or fifty meters. There were more than a dozen tents among them, most of which were already pitch black, and only the big tent in the middle could still show a glimmer of light.

The terrain around the camp is also quite favorable, with a low hill to the west. In the meantime, the woods are dense, and to the east, a river that is not too narrow, and flows in a gentle circle around the hills. …,

Relying on the mountain terrain in this way, it is enough to build a defense, and once defeated. You can also escape directly into the mountains and forests, and the river can play a dual role in fetching water and blocking the enemy.

Obviously, the leader of this team is also quite intentional.

At this time, the wind and rain were rapid, and the rain was like an injection, almost smashing on the ground, and the water of the river began to rise slowly, and the water became much more turbulent and intense. There are dead branches and leaves floating on it.

On the right side of the camp, a simple stable was built, and a dozen or so horses were leaning side by side in the stable. I was resting peacefully, and from time to time I lowered my head and ate a bite of the food in the trough, which was made of soybeans and eggs, which was by no means usable by ordinary people. And the war horse is also an extremely divine horse, if you look closely, you will find that the horse's butt is still branded with the military.

On one side of the stable lay several shelves made of wood hastily nailed, on which hung several wide and long waistcoats, all of which were made of very small and thin pieces of iron, which were connected in series with very fine wires, and were held up one by one. The bond is very tight and sturdy. On the outside of the vest, on top of the small iron sheets, there are more than 100 large iron sheets the size of a palm with a thickness of half a centimeter, creating a shiny tile. It has a faint and cold color, and at a glance it looks like it is solid and abnormal. A pair of vests consumes more than 6,000 small pieces of iron and more than 100 large pieces of iron, weighing more than 70 pounds! On the outer edge of the vest, it is the size of a palm, and the cost of a pair of vests is at least around twenty taels of silver, and the important thing is not how much money there is, but that money can't buy it at all.

This kind of vest is much stronger than the vest used in Lian Zining's army, and there is no pair in Wu Yi's army now.

The most important thing is that these vests are all made of bright red, and at the edges, there is a circle of golden copper edges about a finger width, which are densely nailed with golden copper nails.

Bright yellow, this is the color of the emperor, this is the color that can only be used by the forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty, except for the twenty-six guards and the guards in the palace, no one can use it in the whole world!

Then the identity of the person stationed here is about to be revealed.

In the big tent, the lights were bright.

The tent was extravagant, with a thick red carpet on the floor and pearls and jade all around. More than a dozen beautiful dancers were dancing in the middle of the tent, they were wearing very little, only a small piece of snow-white silk on their chests and crotches to block them, and their bodies were covered with a thin red silk like mist, and their snow-jade skin was looming, seducing the soul.

With their graceful dancing, there are bursts of crisp and pleasant bells, if you look closely, you will find that their ankles, wrists and even nipple beads, are hung with a string of silver bells, with the movement and sound.

On one side of the tent, there are a lot of shelves, on which there are more than a dozen pairs of cotton armor of the Ming Dynasty that have been taken off, and there are some gorgeous silk clothes worn inside, such as the underwear belly pocket, and the daughter's underwear and belly pockets.

Obviously, they are definitely not as weak as they seem.

At the top of the thick carpet is a small wooden platform, on which is placed a small table, on which are placed all kinds of delicacies, behind the small table, a man is lazily leaning there, he is not very old, about twenty-four or five, look at him, it can make people think of four words: "warm as jade!" ”

This young man has an excellent skin, a black robe, as rich as jade, a bundle of black long hair, no crown, only loosely tied with a light purple ribbon, the whole person is like a delicate and dusty ink lotus on the water, out of the dust. His temperament is extremely outstanding, and his appearance is even more handsome, but the most rare thing is that kind of outstanding and elegant temperament, as if he was born noble. …,

Although the girls danced the beautiful dance, similar to the Heavenly Demon Dance in the Mengyuan and Yuan periods, the young man's eyes were as clear as water, and he had a lazy and charming smile on his face.

The occasional glance of those women swept over him, and it was a hot and undisguised affection.

He suddenly clapped his hands: "Sword dance!" ”

All the Yingying Yanyan hurriedly responded, and under the leadership of a woman with an exceptionally bright and gorgeous face, they all stopped dancing very elegantly, walked to the side of the wooden shelf, and put on their clothes. After putting it on, I found that the dress was cut to fit perfectly, obviously tailor-made for each woman, and the soft silk was extremely smooth, sticking to the body, like flowing water, outlining their wonderful figures to the fullest.

After getting dressed, the women stepped aside again, but on the shelf there were more than a dozen swords with sheaths, and each of them took a sword and drew it.

The long sword flickered with a cold and faint light in the light, and the blade was extremely sharp, it was not a soft sword that had never been sharpened specifically for sword dancing, but a murderous sword that really blew off its hair and broke its hair!

Dressed, take the guy's business, a group of women set up the array, the leader of the team screamed, suddenly the whole person moved like a rabbit, a step, is the front finger of the long sword, her sword is extremely fast, the power is also all poured into it, the long sword actually made a sharp roar that tore through the air, very powerful, it seems that there is a steel plate in front of it can also be pierced. Obviously, this sword is by no means an ornament, but an extremely high-second swordsmanship!

The long sword pointed directly at the handsome young man, but the smile on the young man's face did not change at all, as if he had not seen it, the tip of the female sword of the leader was only a foot away from the handsome young man, but the tip of the sword suddenly rose, the sword momentum suddenly changed, driven by the sword momentum, the whole person turned out to be like flying into the sky, and jumped into the air lightly, and then the long sword danced in a big circle, and the whole person did a front somersault in the air, and fell lightly to the ground.

Her voice was soft like a warm spring breeze, but the tone of the words was a little weird, with a hint of exotic customs that could not be concealed: "Your Majesty, the name of this dance is that the autumn pool is cold!" ”

Using her sword as an introduction, the women behind her were already dancing with swords!

For a while, the cold light in the big tent was shining, and the sword aura was clear.

And if you look closely, you will find that their sword dance is more of a dance than another form of swordsmanship.

Their swords are very powerful, their bodies are very light, and their speed is very agile, if they are clear-eyed, they can see at a glance that they all have strong martial arts skills, this person, a sword, even a dozen strong men are not opponents! And this sword dance is actually quite ingenious, and it is suitable for women to practice swordsmanship. As for the more than ten of them dancing together, it is a set of tacit joint attack skills.

These people are obviously not as simple as dancing girls.

At this time, the noble son took down a pipa from one side, and the pipa was covered with mottles, obviously wanting to be a precious guqin. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )……，
