Chapter 463: The Emperor Is Sick
Hu Yuanyu: "What's the matter?" “
Xu Wei said slowly: "For the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, according to our Confucian saying, it is to exist and ignore it, although you don't believe it, you are in awe. The so-called red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots, the three religions were originally one family, and they should be tolerant of each other. However, there are still ministers in the DPRK and China who ask Banzai to reflect on and review the mistake of indulging in metaphysical cultivation. Some people even said that once His Majesty is eternal, all the monks will be expelled and all palaces will be stopped. ”
"What, how can this be?" Hu Yuanyu suddenly became nervous: "Who is it, who is it?" ”
"Who else can it be, it's nothing more than a few of the current elders. Long live in order to build a palace, spent tens of millions, which has caused the road to complain. One more point, don't forget to ...... Daochang Hu" Xu Wenchang deliberately paused.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Wei: "King Yu doesn't cultivate, Concubine Li often goes to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha." ”
"Ahh Hu Yuanyu stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Ben Dao has forgotten about this. ”
That's right, his Hu family's father and son only have today's scenery, relying on the favor of Emperor Jiajing. Seeing that Jiajing doesn't have a few years to live, if he dies and changes to an emperor, their status is afraid that it will plummet.
After tasting the taste of power, how Hu Yuanyu was willing to give up.
This is what our father and son have been boiling up for 20 years, and we must not just forget it!
Hu Yuanyu clenched his fists fiercely.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, the heavy snow that had been falling for many days finally stopped.
As soon as the sky dawns, there is a round of red sun hanging high.
The sound of firecrackers was faintly heard in the city, and the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger.
Wu Jie has a headache these days, not because of Hai Rui, this guy is a hard bone, and he has a strange personality, and he is not a good person to get along with.
It is impossible for him to write a guilty plea and let Jiajing have a step to go down.
Wu Jie didn't have any idea about this. As far as he knew, according to the real history, Jiajing would die within a year. As soon as Jiajing died, Hai Rui would be released by King Yu, who had ascended the throne.
Lord Hai only stayed in prison for a few more months, and when the time came, he would naturally be unscathed, so he would be in retreat and repaired.
What Wu Jie needs to do is to deal with it casually and drag out this case.
Speaking of which, he did a good job in this matter, because Hai Rui didn't look down on him Wu Jie at all. As soon as he opened his mouth, Hai Rui just scolded, and then there was a tirade, Wu Jie suddenly couldn't resist, so he had to withdraw silently and throw the trouble to Zhao Zhenji.
But it was this old Zhao who made Wu Jietou as big as a fight, Lord Zhao was originally the leader of the Qingliu, and he had to fight for victory or defeat in everything.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhenji still felt that Hai Rui's book was a great way, and he still had some respect for Hai Rui in his heart. He also followed the etiquette of being a minister and persuaded Hai Rui to go up to the fold to ask for guilt.
But he didn't want to, but Hai Rui came to the energy and debated with Zhao Zhenji.
The focus of the debate was on which one was more important, and what were the etiquette and duties of the ministers.
Both of them were born in Jinshi, and they were rich in five cars, so this debate was endless, and they turned the Beiya Heavenly Prison into a prayer feast.
For the fans of Beiya, the scriptures quoted by these two people are simply Martian, if you don't understand it, don't say it, if you listen to it too much, you are even more impetuous, and you can't avoid it.
This battle has been fought for several days, and it seems that there will be no winner in the short term.
Wu Jie felt that it was not proper to continue to quarrel like this, so he stepped forward to persuade him, but he was scolded by Erre in unison, and it was boring to make a big trouble.
When he got up early this morning, Wu Jie felt irritable for no reason when he thought of meeting these two people again, and he was a little reluctant to go.
After grinding at home for a long time, I couldn't stand being urged by the moth, so I reluctantly went to Xiyuan, preparing to go to the emperor to be on duty first, and then go to Beiya with Lord Zhao. ..., speaking of which, since taking over the Hai Rui case, Wu Jie has not been here, nor has he seen the emperor!
Qi Jiguang's move to Liaodong has passed the cabinet's vote, and the emperor has also personally approved the red, and the town will be officially moved after the New Year.
As for the money owed by the imperial court, King Yu was also a capable person, and he didn't know where he borrowed 300,000 taels of silver, and finally made up for the money he owed.
At the end of the 44th year of Jiajing, there was a brief period of stability, as if the incident of a hundred officials breaking into the palace had never happened.
Moth is also strange, not only wishing that Wu Jie would stay by his side all day long, but also couldn't see him idle.
When I arrived at Xiyuan, I saw Chen Hong rushing over: "Lord Wu is here, Your Majesty is about to send someone to pass on you, put the case at hand first, there is a will." ”
Wu Jie and Chen Hong now completely turned their faces, and said businesslikely: "It turned out to be Gonggong Chen, I don't know what Your Majesty's will is?" ”
Chen Hong said with a straight face: "Your Majesty told you not to do anything, and concentrate on compiling the "Xingdu Chronicles" in Yuxi Palace. ”
The so-called "Xingdu Chronicles" book, in fact, is a local chronicle, Xingdu later changed the name, is the Jiajing Emperor's father's fiefdom, originally called Anlu, later should be Chengtian, and then changed to Xingdu, is the land of Longxing, out of the emperor's place.
To designate this place as the land of Longxing, we have to start from the accession of Emperor Jiajing. Ming Wuzong should be passed on to his son, but Emperor Zhengde has no descendants, so he will be the last brother and let his cousin Zhu Hou's daughter-in-law inherit the throne, that is, Emperor Jiajing will come to power.
This creates a hereditary problem of the throne, if Zhengde's father Ming Xiaozong is the imperial examination of Jiajing, and the imperial examination is the emperor's father, then what will Jiajing's biological father become?
If Jiajing's biological father is taken as the imperial examination, then Ming Xiaozong will become the emperor's uncle.
This is where the big problem arises, which is the great etiquette of history.
The great etiquette was the number one political topic in the Jiajing period, and everyone made a vigorous fuss for three years, and finally succumbed to the Jiajing Emperor and set King Xing as the imperial examination. This meant declaring that Emperor Jiajing had inherited the throne from his own father, not from Zhengde.
Because of this, the compilation of "Xingdu Chronicles" has special significance, which is a sycophant cultural project of the imperial court to curry favor with Jiajing.
Unlike the usual local chronicles, this book has too much political connotation.
"This book seems to be edited by Zhang Gelao, right?" Wu Jie couldn't help but ask: "It's been almost a year since I compiled it, and it takes a lot of effort to collect local historical materials, or to go to the bitterness, and to cut the materials and consider the words and sentences......" Besides, I'm not familiar with the local chronicles of Xingdu, why did Your Majesty think that I was asked to compile it, and what should Zhang Ge do?" ”
In fact, Zhang Juzheng's compilation of "Xingdu Chronicles" was recommended by Xu Jie, first, Zhang Juzheng has a deep education, and has worked in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and presided over the compilation of the "Yongle Canon", which is just right for this job; Second, this matter was originally a good thing to gain political capital, and Xu Ge asked Zhang Juzheng to do it, because he wanted to help him come to the door and gain political status.
Now it has been replaced by Wu Jie, if Zhang Juzheng knows, I don't know what people think.
Isn't that offending?
Almost instantly, Wu Jie thought that this matter was Chen Hong's poisonous plan to divide himself and Yuwangfu.
But after thinking about it, such a clever plan is not something that Chen Hong can come up with. Besides, this book is so important, without Jiajing's approval, it is useless for others to say anything.
Sure enough, Chen Hong said coldly: "This is Your Majesty's will, how can our family know, you can go and ask Long Live Lord yourself." ”
After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Wu Jie's doubts in his heart were even worse, as far as he was concerned, although compiling this book could obtain great political benefits, it was just icing on the cake for him, and it offended Zhang Juzheng. ..., why the emperor did this, it is worth pondering.
Entering the Yuxi Palace, Wu Jie immediately felt that there was something unusual inside.
There were more eunuchs than in the past, and one by one they were like facing a great enemy, and when they saw Wu Jie, they were strictly searched as usual.
Outside the palace gates stood samurai with swords.
When I arrived at the fine house where Emperor Jiajing lived, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine on the end of my nose, which was not quite the same as the scent of sandalwood and ambergris that filled the house in the past.
And Emperor Jiajing lay on the bed, motionless, as if asleep.
This is very different from his previous image, in Wu Jie's mind, this emperor seems to have never been lying down. Either he is dealing with official business, or he is sitting cross-legged on the futon to meditate and nourish his energy, and the bed is an ornament for him.
Wu Jie saw a eunuch carrying a bowl full of soup and medicine carefully walking to the bedside, and slowly approached the mouth of Emperor Jiajing, who was leaning on the head of the bed.
In the dim light, Jiajing leaned over and took a big sip first, then stretched out his hands like dry firewood to take the medicine bowl, took a deep breath, and drank the big bowl of medicine in one gulp.
Then the ancestral light projected into the house, Wu Jie finally saw Jiajing's face clearly, and was immediately surprised.
The emperor's face was so dry that he could not see a trace of luster, and even his black and shiny hair was withered and a little gray.
As for the two bare arms, they were even more thin, covered with blue and red spots, and their skin was sagging.
It seems that the emperor is sick, as if he is still very sick.
This thought flashed through Wu Jie's mind, and he forcibly suppressed it.
It seems that the historical record is right, Jiajing only has one year to live, and his body has completely decayed in the process of taking pills for many years, and his vitality is about to be cut off.
It is estimated that he is also aware of this, otherwise, with his temperament, how can he be willing to take the decoction.
In the past, when I was sick and in pain, it was all a pill. When you are seriously ill, you can avoid the valley for two days, meditate and refine your qi, and you will be fine for a few days.
Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that Jiajing would not live long, after two or three years of getting along, Wu Jie still felt a little sour in his heart and his eyes were red. Strode forward, took the wet cotton in the eunuch's hand, wiped his lips for the emperor, and wiped his beard: "Your Majesty's dragon body is good." ”
Jiajing's eyes were full of withering: "It turned out to be Wu Aiqing." ”
He struggled a few times, and pointed to the eunuch beside him with his finger: "Help Lian up, freshen up for Lian." ”。 )
