Since Wu Jie was arrested by Jiajing and sent into Xiyuan, at the beginning, the emperor was just urging the draft, and he really couldn't bear the torment of waiting for Wu Jie to update the "Stone Record". Up to now, this book Wu Jie has also been written without a match, and Jiajing has been busy with affairs recently, so he doesn't rush much.

Later, Jiajing discovered Wu Jie's talent in green words, and even more discovered Wu Jie's financial expertise, and his favor was even more incomprehensible.

And Wu Jie's contact with the emperor was neither humble nor arrogant, purely treating Jiajing as an ordinary person. This makes Jiajing feel fresh and comfortable, but whenever there is something in his heart and he wants to find someone to talk to, he will think of Wu Jie for the first time. After all, Jiajing is also human.

It can be said that since Jiajing ascended the throne, in addition to Lu Bing, Wu Jie is the most favored one.

But today's emperor suddenly turned his face, but Wu Jie was a little caught off guard and was stunned.

Looking at the back of the emperor brushing his sleeves away, Wu Jie realized that he had made a mistake. Although he and the emperor got along very well, the difference between the two was obvious. And the emperor obviously did not want to just use Wu Jie as a courtier, but was prepared to leave it to King Yu, a reserve talent for the future heir to the throne.

In feudal society, imperial power was the most important thing. In order to allow King Yu to succeed smoothly, it was Jiajing's established strategy to sweep away the powerful ministers and elders in the court. The Jinyi Guard system controlled by Lu Bing is also in the scope of clearance.

He recklessly brought this remark, which naturally made the emperor very angry.

This made Wu Jie a little depressed.

After sitting on the hillside for a moment, he walked down weakly, ready to go home.

At the foot of the hillside, several eunuchs who had previously served Hou Jiajing saw that Wu Jie was disgraced, and they all covered their mouths and snickered.

These people are already familiar with Wu Jie, and Wu Jie has no shelf, so he is very favored by everyone.

Unlike the scholars of this era, when they see eunuchs, they are either full of disdain. Or treat them like potential bad guys. In Wu Jie's eyes, eunuchs are just a profession, and they are all poor people with disabilities. You can't despise them, you can't sympathize with them, just treat them as an ordinary person.

Therefore, the eunuchs around Jiajing have a good relationship with Wu Jie.

Wu Jie said angrily: "Don't laugh, wait for a few fathers-in-law to see Your Majesty, please tell me." said that Wu Jie would go back, and he would come back to serve after the exam. ”

Seeing that Wu Jie's complexion was not good, a eunuch comforted him: "Mr. Shizhen, you haven't been by Your Majesty's side for many days, and you don't know his old man's temperament yet." Long live Lord's temperament looks calm, but he is actually very anxious. Especially when talking to the people around you. Whatever you think in your heart, you say what you say, you can't hide it. Long Live Lord didn't mean to say a word, and those of us who were slaves were going to be scared out of our minds, but Long Live Lord might turn around and forget. ”

Wu Jie then remembered that Emperor Jiajing had been taking the elixir all year round, and he was deeply poisoned, and he was irritable and irritable, so he really didn't have to take it to heart.

The mood is better. Just as he was about to leave, a eunuch rushed over and beckoned again and again: "Mr. Shizhen, Mr. Shizhen, don't be busy leaving." ”

Wu Jie knew this person, surnamed Liao, and he was also a person close to Jiajing, so he asked: "Father-in-law Liao, but Your Majesty has something to do here?" ”

Father-in-law Liao nodded again and again. "Exactly." I don't know how Mr. angered Long Live Lord, just now his old man was so angry. It was Huang Gonggong who persuaded him for a long time. His Majesty just took the thunder. Let the little one come to Mr. to pass on his old man's words, saying that you want to go back, and first read the account of the maintenance project of Yuxi Palace during this time before leaving. ”

Wu Jie: "Let's go." "It is true that this project has been completed for half a month, but because of the Chinese New Year, there is still a little tail to understand. The money for the maintenance project was paid for by the emperor himself, and the emperor needed to take care of the accounts himself. ..., this work has always been done by Wu Jie before, who made him Jiajing's de facto secretary?

Father-in-law Liao: "Mr. Shizhen, long live the lord said, if you do it well, you can hand it over to the celebrant and find Grandpa Huang and Grandpa Chen." ”

The Huang Gonggong and Chen Gonggong he said were the first-in-command and second-in-command of the celebrant Huang Jin and Chen Hong.

"Okay, I'll go." Wu Jielian should be full, so he went with Eunuch Liao to Jiajing's daily meditation house.

There was no one in the house, and the light was dim.

As soon as Wu Jie entered the house, Eunuch Liao quickly retreated and slammed the door shut.

His eyes suddenly darkened, and Wu Jie was shocked, and it took a long time to see the situation in front of him clearly.

Jiajing is a very strange person, and he has to wear a thick cotton jacket on a hot day. But in the first three or nine days, the doors and windows were wide open, and there was only a thin robe on his body, which was purely the opposite of the world.

Although spring has begun now, the weather is still very cold, and the doors and windows of Yuxi Palace are open as usual, and it is very cold.

Today is strange, this house is tightly closed, the room is warm and comfortable, and the smell of sandalwood in the air makes people a little dizzy.

At the moment when the door was slammed, Wu Jie suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong. At that time, a flash of inspiration flashed in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of allusions such as "smashing the cup as a number" and "setting up a knife and axe hand in the tent". Could it be that because he said the wrong thing just now, he was going to be ambushed by Jiajing's faction?

Thinking of this, Wu Jie suddenly laughed: The real history is not a romance, Jiajing really wants to take himself, does he need to do this? Or maybe I'm thinking too much.

It doesn't matter if the emperor is not there, it's casual.

Wu Jie walked towards the long case that Jiajing usually worked on, and there were many account books piled up on the case, and at first glance, it was all maintenance projects.

"That's a lot of work!" Wu Jie shook his head helplessly, sharpened a pencil, and was about to start.

Suddenly, he found that in the most conspicuous place on the right hand side was a roll of official documents, very thick, using peppercorn white paper, which was rare in the court. This kind of paper is made with more than ten flavors of traditional Chinese medicine such as musk and peppercorns, which are used to prevent insect and rat bites, which are expensive and are generally used for the most important documents and archives.

"What is this, is it an official business that the emperor has not finished...... Just throw it here, will it be for me to deal with it too? Wu Jie wondered in his heart, as the emperor's side was not an official secretary, this was also within the scope of his duties.

Since this was the case, Wu Jie casually unfolded the scroll, and after just looking at it, his body trembled in shock.

Suddenly, it was the imperial pen of Emperor Jiajing, and it was written a sentence in "Mencius": Leaving Lou Zhiming, the skill of losing the son, not according to the rules, can not be a square circle.

"This ...... Isn't that the question of this exam? ”
