There is a saying in later generations: You can't blame the government for your hard life, and you can't blame the society for your back.

Then, in the Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Jiajing could be blamed.

After signing up for the Wu Festival, I planned to recuperate at home for a few days and have a peaceful and peaceful Spring Festival. Then go all out to review your homework and prepare for the February exam.

I didn't expect that there would be so many things in the emperor's family.

Poor Wu Jie is just a liberal arts student in modern society, but he can be a person close to the Son of Heaven, and because he knows some basic accounting knowledge, he is actually regarded by Jiajing as an accounting person.

After working in finance for a few days in one go, coupled with his natural aversion to data, Wu Jie was tossed so much that everyone lost weight.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a household department, the financial power of the state was controlled by Jiajing, which can be said to be a virtual reality. As the financial assistant by the emperor's side, Wu Jie has a headache when he looks at the numbers. suddenly remembered the test method that Zhang Juzheng did later. Quantify the performance of officials in numbers, and look at more numbers every day than you don't know.

This has to be admired, as a modern person, compared to the ancients only have a little advantage in foresight. As for administrative ability, it is still far from scheming and wisdom!

Gradually, as the Spring Festival approached, the sparse sound of firecrackers sounded in the city, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunsmoke. Early in the morning, Jiajing asked Huang Jin to take a few little eunuchs to hang a few red lanterns under the eaves, which were very eye-catching.

The construction of Yuxi Palace has reached the final stage, the main part has been completed, and only a few rooms are still being painted.

But Jiajing couldn't wait, and moved back to the original house early.

The paint is not dry, and it is so smoked that people can't open their eyes. Fortunately, Jiajing is not afraid of the cold, and the doors and windows are still wide open in winter, and there is no fire. After a few days of being blown by the bitter north wind, the smell in the house finally returned to normal. It's just very cold, stay there for a day. Including Wu Jie, they all froze with blue mouths and black faces.

The emperor moved back to Yuxi Palace, and the craftsmen were extremely careful when they started their work, for fear of alarming the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and they had to avoid seeing the holy driver. As a result, the work of sweeping the tail is getting slower and slower, and I don't know how long it will be delayed.

Strange to say, the Li family father and son haven't been here for a while. Day-to-day affairs are presided over by Lu Xuan. But this guy seems to be stupid. How to command the craftsmen.

He is in the palace, and the whole thing is decoration. The last time I saw the emperor, I saw Jiajing wearing a Confucian robe, and stupidly rushed up to ask this brother who his surname was, what kind of fame, but he wanted to do a literary meeting.

As a result, he was surrounded by several eunuchs and beaten up. Wu Jie saw that he was so stupid that he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded him for a long time before the eunuchs stopped.

This incident also alarmed Jiajing, and when he asked, he learned that it was Lu Bing's grandson.

Jiajing sighed for a long time, and he didn't care anymore.

On this day, Wu Jie came to Xiyuan again, and thought of Jiajing's room that was as cold as an ice cave. There was a fear in my heart.

When I walked to the door, I hesitated for a long time, and I was going to go to the next duty room to drink a bowl of hot soup first, but Jiajing's voice came from the house: "Wu Jie came in, there is something." ”

"Yes." Wu Jie turned his heart sideways and walked in with his head bowed.

But I don't want to, the earth dragon was burned in the house today, and it was as warm as spring. I stayed outside for a long time and just entered the house. Forced by the heat. Suddenly, there was a damp feeling on my body.

"How did this Jiajing change his temper today, he never baked the fire."

Wu Jie felt strange in his heart. Looking up, there was an old man with a white beard in seventy or eighty pairs in the room, wearing a decent official uniform.

This took him by surprise.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister, and the first assistant of the cabinet was only a second grade. ..., most of the products are titles, such as the three dukes, which are used to reward virtuous and respected heroes, and have no real power.

This is the first time that Wu Jie has seen a big official with an official residence after crossing into the Ming Dynasty.

The man was very thin and very old, and he sat there with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, looking confused.

Jiajing sat cross-legged on the futon, with a kind attitude, and was whispering to the old man.

But the old man was still very confused, and when he answered the emperor's words, he didn't seem to take it to heart.

It was obvious that Emperor Jiajing had been talking to this old man for a long time, and his patience had been exhausted.

Seeing Wu Jie coming in, Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Wu Jie, and then pointed at the high-ranking official: "Wu Jie, you came just in time, this is the great Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, and he is discussing the matter of King Jing with me, you can discuss it with the great Zongzheng, and wait for me to draw up a will." ”

With that, he closed his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Only then did Wu Jie realize that this old man turned out to be the great Zongzheng who was in charge of the affairs of the royal family, no wonder he was wearing a Zhengyipin official uniform.

Walking up to the old man, he took a stack of official documents from his hand, and after only one glance, Wu Jie was stunned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In general, there are two things in this stack of official documents, one is that the imperial envoy impeached King Jing for embezzling the land of the people in the Hubei domain, and asked the imperial court to handle it according to law.

The other is that King Jing wrote a letter saying that he was going to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to his father, and he had already gone to Hebei.

The first thing is easy to do, since the cabinet transferred this impeachment excerpt to the Zongren Mansion, it is estimated that it does not want to take the judicial route, so as not to hurt the face of the imperial court. It's a big deal for Zongzheng Mansion to come forward and ask him to return the land. Then, the emperor issued another edict, and the reprimand was sufficient.

However, there is a problem with this. In addition to scolding King Jing in the impeachment of King Jing, the envoys didn't know that the tendon was wrong, and it was actually pulled to King Yu. said that he is the same prince, and he is the biological blood of His Majesty. When King Jing became a vassal, His Majesty rewarded so much wealth. And Yuwang Yulu is only enough for the daily expenses and wages of himself, his family, the servants in the palace, and the guards, and sometimes he cannot receive it as scheduled.

King Jing can do whatever he wants in the domain. And Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan can only be depressed trapped in his own mansion, he and his family are also under the surveillance of Jinyiwei, the spies closely observe the movements of Yuwang's mansion, from the prince to the attendants, so that the prince lives in an environment that is like house arrest.

It would be a great injustice for Your Majesty to do so.

……

The imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty had a special talent that could infinitely elevate a thing as big as a sesame mung bean and finally lead the fire to the emperor.

Wu Jie thought for a while, picked up the pen, and wrote a very brief holy decree on the paper instead of Jiajing. Something to the effect of. The emperor knew that King Jing was not having a good time. However, the imperial court has its own system, and the vassal king's fortune has certain rules, and it cannot be changed at will. He ordered King Jing to return all the land he had embezzled to the people, and he would not disturb the people in the future.

Although these official documents are all ancient, the format is probably no different from that of modern society. Wu Jie learned this major, but it couldn't be difficult for him.

From beginning to end, Wu Jie controlled the nature of this matter within the scope of King Jing's misconduct.

If it rises to the legal level. It's complicated to deal with, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?

I have to say that this King Jing is a villain. However, the wicked have their own evildoers. He and King Yu competed for the position of prince, will he be spared after Emperor Longqing ascends the throne in the future?

After it is written. Wu Jie handed over the decree to the emperor.

Jiajing glanced at it, and suddenly smiled faintly: "You can't offend anyone, please both sides." It's good to be young and old, but it's not right to think about not offending people when you encounter something. Well, for the New Year, I can't see this kind of trouble, so I'm right, and I'll send the original text over. ”…,

Wu Jie didn't expect his thoughts to be guessed by Jiajing. I have some admiration in my heart. This Jiajing really has a hand in figuring out people's hearts. After all, King Jing is the emperor's son, but I am afraid that he will not use legal means either. What am I doing with an outsider?

Compared to the second thing, King Jing's embezzlement of the people's land was nothing at all.

King Jing and King Yu have already become fierce in order to compete for the crown prince.

King Jing's fief is in Hubei, but after being canonized, this guy has been lying in the capital and refusing to surrender, what he is afraid of is that once he leaves the center. In the future, if Jiajing has three long and two short. As soon as King Yu ascended the throne, there was nothing to do with him.

During my stay in Beijing. King Jing can form a good strict party and become an ally, which is very stormy.

Later, Gao Gong and others couldn't stand it anymore, so they contacted a large group of officials and blasted him out of the capital in the first half of the year.

He has only been in Hubei for a few months, and now he wants to take the opportunity to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year to return to the capital.

There was also a prelude, the front foot asked to return to Beijing to accompany his father for the New Year, and the excerpt had just been sent to the capital, and his people on the back foot had already arrived in Hebei.

Even a blind man can see that King Jing has no intention of going back when he comes to the capital this time.

But the Son of Heaven is also a human being, and the people have a family reunion during the New Year, so you can't help but let the emperor's father and son reunite.

It was also because of this that the cabinet transferred the matter to the Zongren Mansion and let the emperor decide for himself.

"King Jing is going to enter Beijing, what does Dazong Zheng think?" The Emperor asked slowly.

This matter is related to the court situation, and it involves too much, Jiajing is also a little embarrassed, and he can't help but speak out for advice, and his eyes fall on Dazongzheng.

But I asked for a long time, but I didn't hear a reply.

Looking closely, Da Zongzheng had already closed his eyes, and his head kept burning like a chicken pecking rice.

Jiajing's voice became louder: "Uncle Huang, wake up, I'm asking you." ”

There is a prince in the original of the main sect, and in terms of generation, it is still Gao Jiajing's generation. Jiajing's voice was loud, but Da Zongzheng snored.

"This imperial uncle can actually sleep at this time." The emperor smiled bitterly and turned his head to stare at Wu Jie, a little green light flashed in his eyes: "You haven't fallen asleep, have you?" ”

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and there was a hint of strangeness.

It can be seen that Jiajing still wants to see King Jing.

As a father, because of the proverb that the two dragons don't see each other, he hasn't seen the boss for more than ten years, and this Chinese New Year will definitely be no exception.

If King Jing doesn't come, he will be alone, and this Spring Festival will be deserted.

Jiajing is the Son of Heaven, yes, but the Son of Heaven is also a human being. is another handful of age, and it is a lie to say that he doesn't want his son.

It's just that as an emperor, many things are difficult for him to say in person.

Jiajing couldn t understand how wu jie could not understand this thought, he only felt that his scalp was a little numb, your old zhu family's own family affairs asked me what this unpopular petty official does. Historically, the battle for the throne of the Heavenly Family is the most brutal, and it cannot be easily involved.

This kind of thing is like betting on the right one, soaring into the sky, glory and wealth. I bet wrongly, and I don't know how to die.

The problem is, he doesn't need to bet at all. As long as you take the Jinshi exam step by step, enter Hanlin, and it is not difficult to get a grade of official residence in the future.

The dispute between King Jing and King Yu, he couldn't hide, how could he be involved.

At this point, this big sect is in a very good situation, and he simply pretends to be asleep.

Dazong Zheng has a special status, and he can rely on the old and sell the old, but Wu Jie cannot.

Wu Jie: "This is a family matter for Your Majesty, not for foreign ministers to ask about." ”

Jiajing's face flashed with anger: "I'll ask you." ”

He was also really angry, but he didn't come at Wu Jie.

To tell the truth, he really misses his son these days. When people are old, they like to be lively, and they like the kind of family fun where children and grandchildren are full. …,

But King Jing has already offended all the Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty, if Jiajing really wants to ignore the edict of King Jing to enter Beijing, it is conceivable that Wenchen's excerpt will immediately drown him, even if you are the emperor of the Ninety-Five.

Jiajing also had no choice, as soon as he saw Wu Jie, his heart suddenly moved: this Wu Jie is known to be talented, and he is very quick-witted, maybe he will come up with a way.

"Yes." Wu Jie was helpless in his heart, thought about it for a while, and immediately had an idea; "Your Majesty, according to the system of my Ming Dynasty, every Spring Festival, the vassal kings from all over the country must enter Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven, and the etiquette system dictates it. The minister asked His Majesty, is King Jing the vassal king of my Ming Dynasty? ”

Jiajing's eyes lit up, and he smiled indifferently: "What Wu Aiqing said is very true, then, I don't have to worry about King Jing's matter." "Since there is this precedent, let King Jing enter Beijing to meet him according to the rules. As for when to meet and how long to stay in the capital, it is not the emperor who has the final say. Anyway, does anyone set a time, even if it is a year?

Wu nodded: "Exactly, everything is done according to the system." ”

At this time, Da Zongzheng suddenly stopped snoring, raised his head and glanced at Wu Jie deeply.

Jiajing's mood suddenly improved today, and after Dazong Zheng retreated, he smiled and picked up a booklet from the long case and handed it to Wu Jie: "Aiqing, for you." ”

"This is ......" Wu Jie was a little puzzled, and when he opened it, he saw that it was the emperor's imperial pen, and the transcription was all the poems he wrote when he was competing with Yan Shifan for a while.

Jiajing sighed: "It's really a pearl of words, it's exquisite, it's a swan song for the ages!" You finally won the Yan Shifan, and you didn't embarrass me. It's spring soon, I ordered you, you must take the Jinshi exam. ”

Within two days, King Jing finally entered Beijing to meet the emperor and accompany Jiajing for the New Year.

It's like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil.

As for what kind of trouble will happen between the DPRK and China, it is not something that Wu Jie needs to care about.

Wu Jie felt that this matter was a little troublesome, and speaking of which, because of Concubine Li's relationship, he and Yu Wangfu could be regarded as having a favor. But King Jing's matter is like this, I am afraid that there will be a misunderstanding between King Yu.

"There's no way, if there's a misunderstanding with the prince, let him misunderstand. Jiajing is not easy to pass, and I can't do it. Come to think of it, the people of Yuwangfu can also understand. ”

On this day, Yiyi brought a letter over and said that Miss Caiyun wanted to invite Wu Jie to pass by the Chu Waist Pavilion so that she could thank her in person.

Wu Jie was having a headache about King Jing, and after receiving this message, his heart moved: It's better to go over and take a look, and change your mood.
