The people in the Ministry of Industry Camp were quite diligent, and finally repaired the Yuxi Palace before the Spring Festival, and the craftsmen were also evacuated. The palace, which had been a little noisy before, fell silent and returned to its original state of deep silence.

"Your Majesty, this is from the cabinet, and please long live the royal tour." Wu Jie gently placed a piece of official document on the long case in front of Jiajing.

Unlike the folds handed over by ordinary courtiers, this official document is very thick and full of weight.

At the end of the year, Jiajing was busy, and Jiajing hadn't meditated and refined qi for several days.

The imperial case was full of official documents, piled up like a hill. Jiajing rarely got up diligently, and sat here early in the morning for a whole day.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven and the de facto secretary of the emperor, Wu Jie was also retained. After standing beside the emperor for a day, his legs were a little sore.

Fortunately, he is in good health, and he can bear it. Unlike Huang Jin, who stood here for a long time, he was tired and cold, and he couldn't support it, but in the end, Jiajing saw that he was too tired and asked him to retreat.

No matter how you look at it, Huang Jin is too old, and it is estimated that he will not be able to work for a few years in the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal, and he needs to let the newcomer come up.

"Isn't there a batch of red in the celebrant supervisor, if there is no problem, it will be approved." Jiajing was a little surprised, and raised his head from behind the long case.

Approaching the Spring Festival, the heavy snow for six consecutive days finally stopped, and it was a rare sunny day. As soon as the New Year is over, spring will come.

But it was still very cold here, the doors and windows were wide open, and a strong wind was constantly blowing in, blowing the Taoist robes on Wu Jie and Jiajing's bodies, and making a slight sound.

Wu Jie: "Your Majesty, this official letter does not dare to be specialized, and needs to use a royal pen"

"Oh, but what's the big deal?" Jiajing was a little surprised, took the official letter from the cabinet and glanced at it, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Jie deeply, "Wu Aiqing, haven't you seen it?" ”

Wu Yang: "Long live, Gonggong Huang said that this matter is too important, so the minister didn't see it." ”

Jiajing withdrew his eyes and glanced at the official document again: "You are a person who knows the importance of the matter, in fact, it is not a big deal, but it has something to do with you." ”

Wu Jie was stunned, and was about to say something to ask, when he heard the little eunuch who was outside come to report: "Long live Lord, King Jing has come to greet you." ”

Wu Jie was shocked at the moment: when will this King Jing be able to enter and exit freely in Xiyuan, as if entering a no-man's land.

The Ming Dynasty had very strict control over the vassal kings, and as soon as they reached adulthood, they had to leave the capital and be sent to the local area, and they were not allowed to enter the capital.

Even if he returned to the capital, he had to be subject to a lot of constraints, so he could only live in the palace and regularly send people to report his schedule to the Zongren Mansion and the Shuntian Mansion.

Wu Jie has a close relationship with Concubine Li, and he intends to associate with Yuwangfu, and inadvertently, he has been branded with Yuwangfu. In addition, he and King Jing had a very unpleasant quarrel in the Chu Waist Pavilion, and when he heard the words of the little eunuch, he secretly paid attention and raised his head to look at Jiajing.

When the emperor heard that his second son was coming, a trace of joy flashed across his face.

Before he could speak, a figure flashed in: "Father is very happy, very happy...... It's you? ”

The person who came was slightly fat, and it was King Jing who had not been seen for many days.

As soon as he saw Wu Jie, he frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of anger.

Wu Jie smiled faintly and bowed his hand: "I've seen King Jing Chitose." ”

"Okay for you...... How can I see you everywhere? King Jing let out a cold snort from his nose.

Jiajing saw that the two knew each other, and was a little strange: "What, you have met?" Although his tone sounded normal, Wu Jie still felt a hint of vigilance.

As a monarch, he hates ministers to make friends with princes the most.

As a modern person, Wu Jie has fully figured out the character of Jiajing through historical records, and hurriedly replied: "A few days ago, the minister attended a literary meeting, and happened to meet King Jing Chitose there, but he didn't know the identity of the prince at that time. Seeing the prince today, the minister was really taken aback. "...," I see. Jiachai nodded, didn't care, and asked King Jing: "King Jing, what good news are you coming to report to Lian?" ”

When King Jing heard Jiajing ask, he remembered his intentions, walked forward in three steps and two steps, took out a slightly old scripture from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor with both hands: "Father, when the son was in Hubei, he bought a volume of "Tao Te Ching" written by Zhang Sanfeng with a lot of money, and he didn't dare to keep it in his hand. ”

"Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Zhenren's handwriting." Jiajing had a burst of ecstasy on his face, hurriedly rubbed his hands and took it, looked at it lovingly, and called "good" a few times in a row: "Huang'er, how did you get such a treasure?" ”

King Jing had the intention to show off, and replied: "Erchen came to Beijing from Hubei, and when he passed by Dongting Lake, he went to Yueyang Tower to play. I saw an old man with a childish face, and he was not a mortal at first sight. He had a heart to get acquainted, and just walked forward, before he could speak, the Taoist stuffed this sutra into the hands of his sons. With a long laugh, he said that God bless Emperor Jiajing, and he turned into a blue light, swept over the lake like a snake, and was no longer visible.

"Ah, presumably that person is a real person from Mitoyo!" Jiajing was shocked.

Wu Jie was curious, stretched out his head, only glanced at it, and then pursed his lips. This scripture book looks antique, but there is a faint smell of tickets in it, which is obviously old. The ancients made old books, most of them were soaked in water with tickets, and this hand could only deceive the emperor who stayed in the emperor all day long and did not know the tricks of the rivers and lakes.

After getting this Taoist book, the emperor was very excited, and he talked to King Jing.

It can be seen that King Jing is very good at currying favor with the emperor. He is vulgar, and he can put down his shelf and face, and after a few words, he made Jiajing laugh and be happy.

If you change to a simple person like King Yu, those words really can't be said.

Although Jiajing is a noble ninety-five, he is also a father after all, and he seems to enjoy this kind of family happiness.

King Jing: "It is also due to the virtue of my father, and this is why there are immortals who offer books." Why don't you summon Hu Shenxian and his son to come over and be a drunk? ”

Jiajing laughed: "I'm not busy, it's approaching the Spring Festival, everything is busy, but I don't have so much effort, I'll talk about it when I'm busy with the affairs at hand." ”

Obviously, King Jing also intended to maintain this casual attitude in front of his father, while talking to the emperor, he pretended not to care about the folds and official documents on the table, and looked at Wu Jie with a provocative gaze, meaning: "What are you Wu Jie, just a courtier of the royal family, but the status of my King Jing in the emperor's mind is not something you can know." ”

Wu Jie was funny in his heart, and he was not a child, what are you showing off in front of me. I really wanted to be messed with by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so I said slowly: "Lord, these tables are all important tasks of the military aircraft, relying on the system, and the vassal king can't read it." ”

"How did this king see it?" King Jing turned his head angrily and scolded sharply: "I'm talking to my own family, what are you a slave doing here, don't get out of here!" ”

Wu Jie's face sank, but his tone was still calm: "What the prince said is not right, it doesn't matter if Wu Jie is just a small Wenyuan Pavilion schoolmaster, if today's scene is seen by the imperial envoys." It's not just the prince who is impeached by the officials, but I'm afraid that even the long-live lord will be written into the fold by them. ”

King Jing was stunned for a moment, thinking of this. knows that the most annoying thing for my father is the official of the Inspectorate, and he is quiet by nature, so he hates others to find trouble for him. Wu Jie's sentence clearly means that he doesn't know what to do, he only knows how to cause trouble to the emperor.

Sweat on his forehead slightly: "You ......"

Jiajing also frowned, and only then did he smile bitterly: "One is the son of Lian, and the other is a close minister of Lian, so why bother with such a trivial matter?" In fact, these folds don't matter, they are just the New Year's stamps on the governors of the provinces, and it doesn't hurt for you to look at them. Back then, you didn't like to study, but now that you are in Hubei, you should write some letters back to Beijing to tell you about your situation there, so as not to worry about your mother. Only then did King Jing's expression soften a little, and he said "yes," and then continued to look at the folds on the case angrily.

He came to the emperor today, in fact, there are two things to do.

First, it is true that as my father just said, the Spring Festival is approaching, and Jiajing has too many government affairs to deal with, and he has not summoned Hu Dashun and Hu Yuanyu and his son for several days. This kind of thing as the emperor's grace, you have to wait in front of the emperor every day to maintain it, otherwise, if you don't see it for a while, it will be weak.

Since that day's deep discussion in the palace, King Jing has formed an alliance with Hu Dashun. The two of them are inside and outside, and they want to show their strength in the capital and make a difference.

But the emperor hadn't seen Hu Dashun for a long time, and the Hu family's father and son were also a little anxious, so they asked King Jing to go and offer a book to see if the emperor could hold a meeting.

It seems that the emperor has little interest in this matter, which makes King Jing a little disappointed.

The second one was for Wu Lun, to inquire about the news of the next year's spring examination.

According to the Beijing grapevine, the president of this session is the cabinet assistant Xu Jie, this old man is a hob meat, which looks harmless to humans and animals, but it is the most difficult to dismiss.

As for the candidates for the other vice presidents and eighteen-room examiners, they have not come out. Only by getting this list can you prescribe the right medicine and come up with a way.

It is said that the Yan Party has the intention to include all the examiner quotas in this test, and the Yan Party and King Jing are allies, if that is the case, things will be easy to do. Now that he has killed a Xu step halfway, it is a little troublesome.

King Jing also had no bottom in his heart, and when he heard that the cabinet had set the list, he submitted it to the imperial review, and decided to come over to take a look in person.

He decided to vigorously cultivate Wu Lun, no matter what means he used, as long as he could take the Jinshi exam.

Yes, King Jing's lineage needs a Jinshi who can stand up in Shilin and speak well.

Thinking of this, King Jing's thoughts suddenly returned to that night, when Wu Lun knelt in front of Hu Dashun with a plop...... ）
