Chapter 465: Illness Erupts
He was not in a hurry, and if he directly answered that the emperor himself could make up this book, it would be a bit appalling. After all, a local chronicle of Nuoda needs to refer to a lot of materials, and it needs to consider sentences and cut materials, which can be described as a huge project. At least on the surface, it is necessary to pretend to be carefully studied.
This look, my heart jumped, speaking of this book, because it is directly related to the great ceremonial events in the early years of Jiajing. The great etiquette is the biggest political event in the Jiajing Dynasty, and after crossing to the Ming Dynasty, Wu Jie also studied it with great thought.
In fact, he was still a little annoyed, he had crossed over at the wrong time, if he had traveled to the early years of Jiajing, just relying on his foresight of the great etiquette would be enough to make him great.
He had memorized this book by heart, and when he first opened the page, it was exactly the same as the original text.
It seems that history has not changed in any way, just keep copying.
In fact, even if the first draft of this volume edited by Zhang Juzheng is different from the original book, Wu Jie is not afraid, it is a big deal to tear it down and rewrite it.
"How?" Jiajing gasped and asked, looking a little nervous.
He also knew that he was not successful, and hoped to see the publication of this book in his lifetime, thoroughly characterize the great etiquette, and correct his own succession and his imperial examination.
Wu Jie didn't answer directly, but said, "Your Majesty, the minister still needs to look at the information again." However, long live and rest assured, the ministers will understand and memorize these historical materials, and they will write quickly. ”
Seeing Wu Jie's relaxed face, Jiajing let out a long breath, condensing into a slender white line in the air: "I have confidence in your speed, I really hope to see this book one day sooner!" You don't have to go anywhere if you stay with me for a while, so be it. ”
"Yes, at Your Majesty's command." Wu Jie was also willing to stay by the emperor's side. In his opinion. Jiajing estimates that he will not survive the New Year. As soon as he died, it involved the question of whether it was the inheritance of water.
Although today's King Yu is expected by everyone, he has won the support of the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet and the Qingliu of the imperial court.
But after all, he doesn't have the title of prince. When the time comes, not only him, but even King Jing will have the qualifications to be the emperor. As long as Jiajing does not decide on the candidate for the crown prince for one day, it will be a time bomb that may detonate at any time for the entire Ming Dynasty.
And now. King Jing lives in the palace and stays by Jiajing's side all the time, and if he wants to make some ghosts, others really can't do anything about him.
The succession to the throne involves the lives of tens of millions of people, and if King Jing succeeds to the throne, not only King Yu will be bad, but even Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others will not end well.
As for him Wu Jie, I am afraid that King Jing will hate him even more, and there will really be a day. Everything that Wu Jie needed to be held and protected in the Ming Dynasty would be in vain. That's what he doesn't want to see.
The plan now is not to leave Jiajing's side until the moment when Jiajing promulgates his will.
So. The emperor let himself stay here to compile a book. Naturally, it is the best for Wu Jie.
Speaking of which, "Chronicles of the Hindu" does not have many words. If you want to write, with the hand speed that Wu Jie has exercised over the years, there is no difficulty in 10,000 words a day, and there should be no problem in compiling this book in a week.
But he wasn't going to do that, for now, just hang it.
That night, Wu Jie did not rush to write, but read all the information, and then handled several urgent government affairs for Jiajing.
was busy until dawn, thinking that he would first copy a chapter of more than 1,000 words to deal with Jiajing, but at this time, Jiajing's condition suddenly worsened.
It turned out that the fine house of Jiajing in Yuxi Palace had two rooms, inside and outside, and the outside was large, which was specially used for Jiajing to deal with government affairs and meditate and refine qi on weekdays; There is a small room inside, which is where Jiajing sleeps. Jiajing's body was already extremely weak, and it was naturally impossible to stay up late with Wu Jie, so he returned to the room, leaned on the bed, looked at the two excerpts in a whimsical manner, and fell asleep.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Jiajing said that his stomach was swollen and he wanted to get up and relieve himself.
He was helped by the two eunuchs to sit on the toilet, relieved his hands, and as soon as he stood up, his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground softly.
The two eunuchs were so shocked that they began to cry.
Wu Jie heard the cry, hurriedly threw the book in his hand to the ground, and walked in quickly with a group of eunuchs.
But he saw that Jiajing's face was blood-red, his eyes were straight, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he couldn't speak, so he gasped for breath.
There was a big mess in the house, some people were crying, some people were pinching Jiajing with their hands, and some people shouted: "Get up quickly and invite King Jing to come!" ”
At the beginning, Wu Jie was still shocked in his heart, he even suspected that Jiajing had reached the dying moment, and he almost couldn't help but walk out quickly, so as to inform King Yu of the news as soon as possible, and let him prepare early.
This shout suddenly woke him up, and if King Jing was called at this time, he would see Jiajing and be so powerful. This guy will definitely use the excuse of serving Jiajing with him, and he won't leave here.
If that's the case, things are in trouble.
Also, if this person wants to die, there will be a period of time to return to the light. Jiajing had been lying in bed and sleeping before, but he had a sudden seizure, and it didn't look like he was going to die immediately.
He snorted, slapped the eunuch in the face, and said in a deep voice: "What's the mess, is the sky still falling?" Go and call Huang Jin immediately, he has served His Majesty for more than 20 years, and he is an old man, you waste stay here and add to the chaos. ”
The eunuchs in this room are all Chen Hong's people, and when they heard Wu Jie call him to invite Huang Jin, they were all stunned.
The man who was slapped covered his face even more, full of resentment.
However, Wu Jie's prestige is now as high as the sky, and he has been holding the position of the cardinal by Jiajing's side for several years, and his authority is growing day by day.
Wu Jie was about to take this opportunity to call Huang Jin back, this Yuxi Palace was full of Chen Hong's people inside and out, he was alone, something really happened, there was not even a person to report the news, and he also needed to discuss with Huang Jin if he had something.
There was a sudden movement in his heart, although Jiajing was strong, in fact, some things were quite weak, and even a little nostalgic. Otherwise, knowing that King Jing's stay in Beijing was a major unstable factor, he was still reluctant to let him go to Hubei.
In Jiajing's heart. I guess I also think about Huang Jinxiu, right? After all, the emperor served him for more than 20 years. No one knows how to take care of Jiajing better than him, and Jiajing is sick like this, so he must also think about Huang Jin.
Wu Jie immediately didn't talk nonsense. Directly supported Jiajing and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, do you need to send Huang Jin to come and serve." Your Majesty, if you can't speak, you can nod. ”
Jiajing's breathing sound accumulated, and the flush on his face turned a little purple, but he nodded quickly.
Wu Jie immediately shouted loudly to the eunuchs: "Your Majesty has a decree, pass Huang Jin into the palace to serve, go quickly, 100,000 urgent." ”
"Yes." The two eunuchs ran out in a row.
Fortunately, the place where Huang Jin works is not far from here, and he came over in just a moment.
When I saw that the emperor was sick like this. didn't talk nonsense, he immediately untied the emperor's collar and fed Jiajing a mouthful of hot water. lifted the placket and fanned it for a long time.
Long. The bruises on Jiajing's face receded, and he let out a long breath. Able to speak: "Huang Jin, are you here......"
The voice was very low: "Huang Jin, I sent you to Chaotianguan to do things a while ago, of course...... It's wrong to have you...... Not the right place, but ...... But I'm a little harder on you after all...... You better go back to the celebrant and make the old man inseparable from ......"..., without saying a word, he gasped for breath.
Huang Jin's tears came out: "Long live, old slave, old slave hasn't seen your old man for a few days, why is this like this?" ”
"I can't die, help me to go to bed."
After helping the emperor to bed, Wu Jie asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, have you sent Imperial Doctor Li to prescribe some decoction?" ”
The Emperor closed his eyes wearily, but did not speak.
Wu Jie whispered in his ear again: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Huang Jin quietly go to Li Shizhen to prescribe a few single doses." He can enter and leave the palace freely, it is already dawn at this moment, and he should not let others know. ”
The physical condition of an emperor is directly related to the court situation and the net worth of countless people, if others know that Jiajing is sick like this, and they don't know what the chaos will be outside, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even die at the end of their lives.
Wu Jiewei knew what Jiajing was thinking as soon as he groaned, when he was so sick, he was already desperate for the elixir, and the only thing he thought about was to live two more days. But they are worried that the news will come out and cause chaos.
Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wu Jie, and sighed for a long time: "Quasi...... Wu Jie, have you read all the information of "Hindu Chronicles"? ”
Huang Jin turned his back and wiped away his tears, and went out quickly.
Wu Jie: "Back to Your Majesty, I have read all the historical materials, and the next chapter has a draft." ”
"Sure enough, it was the champion I hand-picked, and it didn't disappoint." Jiajing looked pleased: "Read it and listen to it." ”
"Yes." Wu Jie was about to read it, but Jiajing raised his finger and pointed at the people in the room with difficulty: "Oral metaphor: No one in the house is allowed to leave Yuxi Palace, and they are not allowed to tell the situation today, violators...... Violators...... ...... violation"
He gasped: "Zhu Sanclan!" ”
Jiajing: "Wu Jie, read it." ”
Hearing this, the eunuchs in the house turned white.
The emperor's words are tantamount to putting everyone under house arrest in disguise, and if he wants to regain his freedom, unless Jiajing's health improves, or he dies.
Most of them were Chen Hong's subordinates, and seeing that the emperor was sick like this, he had made up his mind to spread the news as soon as possible.
Wu Jie cleared his throat and read out the text of the chapter slowly in a deep tone, reading extremely slowly.
This chapter is writing about the bloodline inheritance of Jiajing's father, Xingxian Wang, and Jiajing also listened carefully.
Listening to the detailed writing, a faint smile appeared on his face, and the violence and depression on his face disappeared, and the whole person calmed down.
After a while, Jiajing's soft snoring sounded in the room.
Wu Jie made a gesture to everyone, and then led everyone quietly to the outhouse.
At that moment, everyone was thinking about it, and he did not speak any more.
Wu Jie returned to the desk and slowly transcribed the chapters to be written today on paper, while the others stood aside with bated breath.
I don't know how long it took, Huang Jin came back, took out two large packets of medicine from his sleeve, and told the eunuch to boil it.
When there was no one around, Wu Jie hurriedly asked, "What did Li Shizhen say?" ”
Huang Jin's tears fell: "Imperial Doctor Li said that according to His Majesty's situation, the medicine stone is already ineffective, and he will fall into a coma next." These two packets of medicine could not save Banzai's life, but only kept him in the condition of one or two hours a day. Shizhen, do you need to tell Your Majesty about this situation? ”
"Tell me the truth." Wu Jie gritted his teeth and replied.
